Prompt: Rabbits
Her finger was poised right on the glass of the hamster's cage. Lucy cooed lightly as the small creature ran its laps on the metal wheel, waving Juvia over. "I think we should get one of these little guys, they're so cute! Don't you think so, Juvs?"
Her eyes darted over for a moment, her girlfriend observing the little furball with her. She tilted her head, blue eyes fanning over the hamster with curiosity. "Juvia thinks that they're a bit too small. Something bigger would be better. Juvia doesn't want to lose our pet so easily."
Lucy pouted as she gazed at the other options. They had already disagreed on the fish and bird, both animals choices that were too high-maintenance. But Lucy also made the argument that any pet they had was going to require their attention.
Their apartment hadn't allowed for dogs or cats but they could get a caged animal. And Juvia was the one who had propositioned getting an animal in the first place. Her girlfriend admitting that she had felt lonely whenever Lucy had left for a business trip. Her attention focused on Juvia as she looked over at a much larger pen.
"Oh, Lucy! Look at those. Juvia thinks that they are do cute." She exclaimed and grabbed her hand as she led her over to the small enclosure.
Rabbits of all colors were hopping around the grassy pen. Their small noses crinkling and the puffball of a tail wriggling as they scampered about. It was love at first sight.
"One of those little guys would be perfect," her hand tightening around Juvia's, rubbing it tenderly, "You pick one of them."
"R-Really? I can?" She was surprised by her offer but Lucy nodded.
"Yes, Juvs. I wouldn't be able to decide and you're the one who came up with the idea of getting a little furbaby in the first place."
And within the next hour, they had left Magnolia's pet store with the purest of white bunnies in their arms. The joy so overwhelming that Lucy decided to take the next day off to spend time with her love and the newest member of their home.
