"James, I'm back," Kendall called out into the apartment. He shut the door behind him and looked around, noticing how empty it looked.

"Babe?" No answer.

Then suddenly, he heard a laugh coming from the bedroom that could only belong to one person. He raised an eyebrow and walked towards the bedroom, whipping the door open without invitation.

James sat cross-legged in the middle of the bed, blinking up at Kendall innocently.

"Hey."

"Hey yourself. What are you doing in here?" James furrowed his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes.

"This is my room too. What, am I not allowed in here when you're gone?" Kendall tilted his head and reached behind him to shut the door. He inched closer to the bed slowly, eyeing James.

"Why are you being all defense? Got something to hide?"

James opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by a small bark, before a small golden retriever puppy jumped from behind James. Kendall widened his eyes.

"James, what the hell is that?"

"That would be a puppy, Kendall," James said simply, reaching out to pull the tiny pup in his lap. Kendall looked from James to the dog back to James again, raising his eyebrows and throwing out his arms.

"Why do you have a puppy?!" James bit his lip and pouted at Kendall.

"I found him in the park and he didn't have a collar or anything and I just felt so bad, Kendall, he looked so sad and lonely! I couldn't just leave him there!" Kendall ran a hand over his face and through his hair, sighing. He sat on the edge of the bed, watching James play with the puppy, the cutest smile on his face. Kendall chewed the inside of his lip nervously, not wanting to make James sad by telling him that they couldn't keep the puppy.

"Do you really expect to keep it here?" James' smile fell.

"I was kind of hoping," he whispered, petting the dog's fur gently. Kendall thought for a moment, and then sighed again.

"Well, if he makes you happy..." James snapped his head up and grinned, "... then I guess we can keep him for a little while."

James squealed and threw his arms around the blonde's neck, pressing his lips against Kendall's, mumbling a 'thank you' against his lips, before pulling back to grab the puppy and hold him up to Kendall's face, both boys laughing as the puppy licked Kendall's nose.
