Hey there, my minions! Johnny Spectre here with more fluff for your buck! So please read and enjoy.
Eri's giggling echoed around the bathroom as splashing accompanied it, along with Mina's laughter.
"Wow, you sure are dirty, aren't you, little guy?" the acid Quirk heroine said, handling the shower head. "Your fur looks so good all clean, doesn't it?"
The puppy growled in a way that sounded relaxed. Eri was running her hands through his fur getting rid of the mud patches while Tsuyu was going through the shampoos they had available. Luckily, the puppy's fur was similar to Mina's hair, so she had a spare bottle.
"I wonder what kind of dog he is, ribbit." Tsuyu said as she lathered his head. "It's not a breed we see a lot of."
"Maybe Big Bro Kouda can ask him?" Eri asked as she scooped water onto the puppy's back. The puppy looked at her, and the girl giggled again and started hugging him. The action made the two teens laugh.
"Okay, sweetie. We'll see if Kouda is busy," Mina said. "But first, let's dry off. Your Mama would be mad if you got sick..."
"Okay!" Eri smiled and got up to grab a towel. The puppy started following her, beginning to shake off the remaining water, startling them all. They laughed a bit, and Eri started covering him in towels.
He wandered around with them on, wondering where everyone went, starting to whine before he felt something rubbing them along his fur. He struggled a bit until he saw light, and the single horned girl was smiling at him. He got up close to her and started licking her face, making her squeal and the others laugh. This girl made him safe, he wanted to return the kindness.
"Puppy! Down, boy!" Eri laughed in mirth as she struggled to escape. The puppy felt himself being lifted off of her by one of the bigger people, the one that smelled like the outside. Eri sighed as she got up and grabbed some clean clothes. "Okay! Let's show everyone how you look!"
Ochako sat on the couch with Izuku next to her. He was already muttering about the strategies for dog care, and was looking over his phone for all the possible necessities. She was pointing out sites and places that were good for discounts and probable scams. She was always thrifty with saving money for her parents' sake, but she had always wanted a pet, and this opportunity would not be wasted.
"Well, well, another mumble storm; what's going on, you two?" A voice gained their attention from behind. Both turned to see Eijirou leaning over the couch with a smile on his face. He glanced at Izuku's phone and blinked. "Pet stuff? Is Kouda's birthday coming up?"
Ochako laughed awkwardly. "Not exactly, Kirishima-kun..."
"Then why are you looking fo-"
"Uncle Eiji!"
He was interrupted by the light voice and the running jump of Eri tackling him. Eijirou grinned and grabbed her wish and started spinning her around.
"There you are, you angel! How was your day?"
His question was answered in the form of a series of barks. The sound brought everyone's attention to a large dark blur leaping from the halls.
The now clean puppy was growling at the one holding Eri, to the strange-haired person's surprise. His fur was a dark red that faded to black and spattered with brighter shades of orange, and around his muzzle was cream colored fur. The fur around his head and neck was short, but already looked like a lion's mane. Behind the dog were Mina and Tsuyu carrying wet clothes and towels.
Eijirou blinked at the new arrival, barely noticing Eri slip from his grasp. She stood next to the dog and beamed.
"What do you think, Uncle Eiji? I brought him home and Papa said I could keep him, as long as I keep... respon-sable-ty?" She looked to Izuku and Ochako and both nodded while the latter held in a giggle.
Eijirou stepped towards them slowly, before crouching down in front of the puppy, he held out a hand, letting him sniff, before the puppy headbutted his hand, Eijirou grinning up a storm of his own. "What do I think? I think you've got a new best friend, little lady." He started rubbing the dog's head, "Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy? Who's the toughest guy around?"
The puppy barked in response and Eri giggled. "Yup! That's Papa!"
Izuku flushed at the praise and everyone laughed. Eijirou smiled and asked, "So what's his name?"
"Um... I dunno." Eri shrugged. "I wanted to ask Big Bro Kouda before I decide anything."
"Smart idea, Eri-chan." Ochako said getting up, she walked over to the puppy and started petting his back. 'Uwaaaaa~ so fluffy~'
Eri took a deep breath and stood up proudly. "Then let's go! To Big Bro Kouda!"
A little bit longer, but still feels short. Can anyone guess what kind of dog the puppy is? You may get my Nona's special chocolate crinkle cookies~. Remember to review!
