"Can I help you with something?" I asked confused.
"You are a total babe magnet," Greg said smirking, "She was flirting with you. Another thing all Dawson's have in common."
"I guess we do," I said laughing, "Now let's go before those two boys tear that place apart."
"Yay," he said before grabbing my hand and running to the pet store.
As we ran I shook my head and laughed at Greg. Once we were in the store I heard Jake laughing and Lucas talking gently. I looked at them and noticed that Jake and Lucas were still holding hands.
"Jay, Lucas," Greg said pulling me over to them, "Have you found any puppies you want?"
"There's this awesome mutt we saw a few minutes ago," Jake said smiling, "Come on, I'll bring you to her."
Lucas and Jake walked over to a small cage and pointed at a small black and gray puppy. The puppy looked up at Lucas and Jake and ran to the edge of the cage before sitting down and barking happily.
"She's perfect Dad," Lucas said smiling, "Can we get her?"
"Yes," I said grinning, "You can get her."
"Thank you," he said hugging me before picking the puppy up, "What should I name you?"
"You should name her Phoebe," Jake said calmly.
"I like it," Lucas said looking down at the puppy, "Do you like Phoebe, Hun?"
The puppy barked happily again and licked Lucas's face. Lucas laughed softly and kissed Phoebe's head. Jake leaned over and kissed Phoebe also. When Jake pulled away I saw that Lucas was blushed bright red and biting his lip.
"Let's go get everything," I said watching them carefully.
"O-Okay," Lucas said stuttering over the word.
Phoebe cocked her head to the side slightly and barked sadly. Lucas looked down and kissed her head again before whispering something in her ear. Phoebe looked up and then at Jake before barking in almost understanding again.
"Looks like you picked a smart puppy," Greg said smiling.
"I agree," I said nodding. "Now you two go look at the collars and tags and Greg and I will go get a basket."
"Sure," Jake said linking his hand with Lucas's again.
I watched them closer as they left. Lucas was shaking slightly, but moved closer to Jake as the walked. Phoebe looked over Lucas's shoulder and gave us a grin, or the puppy version.
"Did you see that?" I asked wide eyed.
"Yeah," Greg said shocked, "What do you think Lucas told Phoebe?"
"I'm not sure," I said shaking my head, "But whatever it was Phoebe understood."
"Oh, and I saw Lucas and Jake holding hands," he said smiling, "They're going to get together soon."
"I hope so," I said grabbing a basket, "They'd be good together."
"Yup," he said nodding, "Let's go find them."
"Yeah," I said walking to the collars.
"Lucas," Jake said softly, "Listen to me."
When I heard Jake talking I stopped and stopped Greg too. Greg gave me a confused look, but I shook my head and pointed to the next aisle. I saw him nod his head and wait for Jake to start talking again.
"I like you Lucas," Jake said after a moment, "I want to go out to you, and I understand why you're so against being with me right now, but I know you like me too. Please, at least try."
"Jay," Lucas said sighing, "I do…I do like you. I want…I want to be…be with you. I'm…I'm just scared."
"I know," Jake said sadly, "Can I do something though?"
"What are you going to do?" Lucas asked curiously.
"This," Jake said before everything went quiet.
I moved around the aisle and looked down at them. Jake was kissing Lucas softly and Phoebe was calmly sitting on the floor watching them. I let out a gasp as Lucas started to kiss back slightly.
"Oh my," Greg said from behind me, "Am I really seeing them making out?"
"Yeah," I said numbly.
"Should we break them apart?" he asked seriously.
"I don't know," I said biting my lip.
Looking back at them I saw that Jake's hands were now resting on Lucas's ass and Lucas's hands were gripping Jake's hair. Jake pulled away only to have Lucas kiss him gently once and then pulling away fully.
"Lucas," Jake said panting, "Please, go out with me, at least once."
"Okay," Lucas said nodding.
"You know your dad and my uncle are watching and can hear us, right?" Jake asked looking over at us.
"Why do you think I broke away before we kissed again?" Lucas asked kneeling down and snapping for Phoebe to get in his arms.
