[He'd taken the holidays off to spend time with the people he cared about. Naturally. And things were finally going his way for once too. Good thing too because that meant he had plenty of free time to do as he pleased. Including rearing the puppies which his dog Hilde had given birth too sometime ago. He'd also promised a couple folks their pick of the litter, or just play time. That day was today.

People would hear the playful yips as puppies dug around and romped on the beach's sand, while Duo sat in one of those captain chairs watching them and petting his big fat lazy rottweiler. The pups were German Shepherd mixes. Behind his chair? At the hanger? At the bar? All had signs up that said "Free Puppies". Inquire at Beach.]

[Unlike Duo, Heero's time was all spent sorting out the mess their merger caused. Not that it was nearly as bad as it once had been, but it was still enough to keep him busy. It wasn't like he had much to do in his spare time.

Arriving on the Plane, the first thing he noticed those signs everywhere. "Free Puppies." Those puppies Hilde had must've been ready to be adopted. So he made his way down to the beach, finding both Duo and Hilde sitting while the puppies ran everywhere.]

They've gotten big already.

[stillshinigami]

[They were big. Their paws? Huge. An indication of a large adult. He were all busy froliking in the sand, tackling their siblings and digging little burrows to hide in. Hilde got up and ran to Heero, now looking pretty slimmed down since the puppies were weened. Even her teets were significantly reduced. She stood up on her hind legs, putting her paws to Heero's chest and reaching up to lick his face, her tail wagging like crazy.]

They are. You wanna get first pick?

[stoicperfection]

[As soon as Hilde jumped up onto him, he couldn't help but stroke her head and pet behind her ears like he always did. It had been awhile since he'd last done that to her.]

No one else has claimed their yet?

[stillshinigami]

[Hilde he licked him again and them dropped down, wagging her tail and running over to her pups, going to check each of them.]


Nobody have. I want you to meet somebody, actually.

[Duo smiled and walked over to the beach, looking down at all the puppies before making his selection. It was the runt of the litter. A little boy. Wiggling.]

This is the underdog. The other ones kinda pick on him sometimes. I think you might like him.

[stoicperfection]

[Watching Hilde check on her puppies for a moment, he made his way over to Duo and looked down at the small puppy wiggling about. He really was a lot small than his siblings.

He carefully pet the puppy before lifting him into his arms.]

[stillshinigami]

[Duo watched Heero as the shy little puppy wiggled away from Heero as Heero reached from him. In his hands, he wiggled more, and eventually put his head into the crook of Heero's arm to hide his face.]

He's a sweet boy, really shy though. You're gonna want to bring him out of his shell.

[stoicperfection]

[The poor puppy looked miserable in his arms. So he tried his best to soothe the poor thing by gently stroking through it's fur.]

I can do that.

[stillshinigami]

[The puppy wagged his tail slowly, cringing in the arms at the pets. So shy. He just wanted to go home and play with Cody! Stranger danger!]

The dog trainer I talked to recently says that you shouldn't encourage the shyness. Like if you go talk to someone else and he's shy, just let him do what he does, but give treats and stuff when he approaches people.

[He reached into his cooler for a bunch of cut up hot dogs.]

Here.

[stoicperfection]

[He takes the bag and pockets it for now. They could start on training once they got home.]

Anything else I should know?

[punkblaze]

[Oh my goddess puppies. Don't mind Eithan, he's just going to be standing there, watching them and smiling. ♥]

Dude. Free? For real?

[stillshinigami]

As long as you can be trusted. [He winks at Eithan and grins widely, reaching down to pet the mum. He hands Eithan a bag of cut up hotdogs.]

Here. Go make a friend.

[punkblaze]

[Eithan looks like a little kid at Christmas. He takes the bag with a huge grin on his face, gives Duo a firm nod and heads for the puppies!

He crouches down in the sand and opens the bag, fully expecting to get absolutely ambushed by the little guys...]

[stillshinigami]

[Of the seven puppies, three girls and three boys were left. Each with distinct personalities. The four who weren't busy digging came right up to the pink haired boy, tails wagging ecstatically. Look! Look at me! Treats!

Duo smiled as he watched the puppies greet him, the other two coming up right behind. Talk about a dog pile.]

[punkblaze]

[He laughs. How can you not laugh when faced with friggin' puppies, okay? And he talks a little bit at each of them as he pulls out the bits of hotdog, making sure each of them just gets one, even if he has to gently nudge the greedier ones aside.]

[He reseals the bag and tucks it into his back pocket, then reaches out both hands to let them sniff at him. He speaks to Duo, though he's not looking away from the puppies~]

So, mama dog had a litter, huh?

[stillshinigami]

[Duo nodded, watching Eithan and stood up to go look over him, Hilde close to his heel.]

Yep. Here's the mom. The dad was a stray but they're all healthy. Tested for any disorders, got their shots and everything.

You can have anyone you want, Eithan.

[punkblaze]

[Okay really? He wants ALL OF THEM!! but he knows that's not allowed. Alas. Still, picking is going to be pretty hard...

... except that one in particular catches his eye: a boy, a bit more rowdy and rambunctious than the others. The connection may as well be instant. You know, because Eithan's a trouble magnet like that.]

And what's got you all excited, huh? [He picks up the puppy, grinning.] Somethin' important that you've just gotta go crawlin' all over everyone else?

[stillshinigami]

[Duo sat back on the sandy beach, pulling his big dog into his lap to pet her tummmy. A few other dogs came over to see their mom and their human.]

It's not hard finding one you like. I gotta say though, the Rotty in him is gonna be hard to train.

So late, sorry!

[oliverplus]

[as Oliver steps onto the beach, his expression lights up with a grin] Wow! You meant it!

[stillshinigami]

[Duo turns his head to look at the other guy.]

Course I meant it. What do you think? I was blowing smoke? This'd be something odd to lie about, doncha think?

[And the remaining puppies run back to greet Oliver. Four in all. One boy and three girls.]

[oliverplus]

Well, no, I know. But...still! Look at all the puppies! [Oliver grins brightly, leaning down to pet them]

[stillshinigami]

[There they all are, romping around Oliver to check him out and lick him all over.]

Are you sure you can't take one of my hands?

[oliverplus]

[Oliver is laughing and probably enjoying being licked far too much] I wish! What are their-

[he cuts off, laughing as a puppy goes for his face with its tongue] Hey!

What are their names?

[stillshinigami]

[Duo laughed at him and sat down in the sand with him]

Nothing official.

This one is Hilde 2. This one's bubblebutt, this one is Ninja, and this one's monster.

[The last one was a girl, biggest of the litter.]

[oliverplus]

[Oliver snorts, scratching Monster vigorously] What'd she do to deserve a name like that?

[stillshinigami]

Tore up Cody's lion. Bad little girl this one.

[Duo leaned down and pet bubble on her tummy.]
