Let's Get a Puppy – DM x CS
Hey guys, first off, I wanna apologise for my lack of usual posts these last couple of months. I have been very busy with work and I am doing a course along side it. Once I am in the summer holidays, I should have more free time to write and upload my usual 3 chapters 3 one shots in a month.
Anyways hope you enjoy some cuteness
Jordon p.o.v
Danny's birthday is coming up and I want to get him a really good gift. Something that he will love. I have only been dating Danny for six months and even though we have known each other for a long time now this birthday is one I have to get right. It is the first one where I am his boyfriend so the gift will mean more to him than one from a friend would. Not that I am saying Danny doesn't appreciate the gifts he gets from his friends because I know for a fact that he loves them. I just feel more pressure because I am his boyfriend. I know his likes and dislikes and I need to make sure that the gift I get him is just as perfect as he is. This will be tough, but I think I have the right gift in mind. I just need to make a few arrangements.
I have been doing my best to keep this hidden from Danny and as far as I know he does not suspect a thing. Well, he hasn't told me that he knows what I plan to get him. I am not even sure if he knows I remember and kept a note of what he likes and dislikes. I knew for a long time that I wanted him to be my boyfriend so I made sure when we got to know him back in the early days what I would need to know in order to be a good boyfriend. He's currently fast asleep next to me, holding onto my arm so I can't get up to pee until he wakes up. I guess it's his way of letting me know that he wants a lazy day. We can have a lazy day if he really wants one. He might feel like doing loads of things, I don't know yet.
"Good morning Jordon," Danny mumbles, I had managed to slowly pull my arm out of Danny's grip and finally went to the bathroom. Danny looked like he had a bit of a rude awakening. "Morning bear," I tell him, getting back into bed and I play with Danny's hair. He snuggles into my side and I kiss his cheek. He is not a morning person unless he has to do something. Danny reaches up and kisses my cheek. "You can go back to sleep if you really want to Danny. We don't have to do anything until later on tonight," I tell my boyfriend. Danny is still snuggled into my side and since I have given him permission to fall back to sleep, he has decide to do so I think. He's closed his eyes again and rolled into my side, so his arm was on my chest.
"Don't worry little bear I am not moving from this spot. We can both have a lazy morning," I tell him. that was basically his way of telling me he doesn't want me to leave his side while he's still sleepy. We are having a BBQ at George's house later on, but George understands that we won't be there as early as someone like Jorel who will be there at 2 and we were be there at like 3 maybe 4 depending on when we leave. Danny was fast asleep again within minutes and I made sure that I could get my phone so I can keep myself occupied while Danny sleeps the morning away. He loves his sleep which is fair enough. I am talking to George through text messages and we were planning more of the evening ahead.
I think he's purposefully making everyone start later as everyone has to bring three things with them, something for the main, the side and the dessert so no matter how early we all arrive we can't really start until everyone is there. I am aiming to arrive at 3 with Danny, we are also planning a small birthday party for Danny which only the most trusted of the band will know so they will not give it away to Danny before the day. It's not going to be a huge thing because that is not what Danny will want. Just something with his friends, his mom and siblings will be there too and that is perfect for Danny. I then start playing games on my phone while I wait for Danny to wake up again. I am pretty sure I accidentally woke him up the first time and I don't want to do it again.
Danny only slept for an extra hour; he was happier to be awake this time compared with the first time around. "Morning again Danny," I tell him. He looks at me confused. He must not remember the first wake up this morning then. Uh morning again Jord," he replies, and I kiss him on the lips this time. He kisses me back and I explain that he was awake an hour ago but fell back to sleep. I held back a laugh when I saw Danny realise, he did in fact say good morning to me one hour ago. It was my fault he startled himself awake, so I shouldn't be making fun of him. "That makes sense I guess," he tells me. Danny reluctantly gets up to go into our en-suite bathroom and returns about five minutes later. "George wants us all to be there for three. He wants us all to get part of dinner tonight too," I tell him.
"I was wondering when he was going to put that into place for his barbeques. I know he told me he was wanting to do it because he was a bit tired of having us all arrive at different times of the evening. Dylan showing up drunk that one time was the last straw for him really," Danny tells me. I didn't know that information, but George does ask Danny for advice at times because he's quite wise and someone who is generally good to go to when you want to talk about problems but are afraid, you'll sound crazy. "Yeah, I get why he'd decide that. Having anyone show up to your party very drunk is not a good thing," I tell him. I'd love to know what was going through Dylan's head that day when he turned up drunk.
No one was happy with him being there. It was before Danny and I started dating but he went right over to me and stayed by my side that entire night because Dylan was trying to hit on us, and no one was happy with it. "If anyone turns up drunk today then they have a serious drinking problem," Danny says, he had read the text we had been sent by George as a reminder that all of us are to turn up at 3 or just before or after. I chuckle and pull Danny a little closer to me. I love how close we have become over the six months we have been boyfriends. People could say that we have been rushing into things as we have moved in with each other on month 4, but it was what felt right for us at the time. We spend a lot of time together when we are on tours anyway, so why no move in together when it felt right.
"We should get ready for the day then. We have to go to Walmart before we go to George's house," I tell Danny. It's not thanksgiving because that's always between 1 to 7 days after Danny's birthday. We've decided that we will celebrate both as friends and then it means Danny and I can have some family over on thanksgiving. I can't wait to see Danny's reaction to his birthday gift. In two weeks', time I will know whether or not I made a good decision with my gift choice. My sexy boyfriend decides to tease me the entire time he gets dressed in front of me. "So glad you are my hottie," I tell him. He smiles at me and I tease him while I get changed as a bit of payback. Now we are both out of bed at the same time I can hug and kiss him standing up.
"Let's have a date morning. We can go and get some breakfast and maybe go for a walk to waste the time before we go to Walmart then George's house," Danny suggests. I am all for that idea, it has been a while since I have been able to spoil my love with a date. "That's a brilliant idea Danny. I am paying by the way," I tell him, and I was pleasantly surprised when he accepted it. I think he has learned by now that I am quite stubborn when it comes to wanting to spoil him. It is what he deserves after all, he spoils me all the time and he deserves the same treatment. "It's not like I can block you from doing it," Danny says, I wrapped my arms around his waist, and we walked down the stairs together.
"Nope, but you love being spoiled every now and then," I tell him as we walk. He's just the sweetest, he was starting to get a little bit red now. I was right about him enjoying being spoiled. He just doesn't like admitting it. We are going to enjoy our date before we go to George's house, I am sure of it. Danny kisses me on the cheek as I open the door for him to get into the car. Today is going to be a good day, I can feel it. I love spending time with Danny so for us to have a whole day where we are out and celebrating the fact that we are together and just enjoy the day is perfect for me. there is nowhere else in the world I'd rather be than right here with Danny.
"What kinda foods has George asked for or is it not specific?" Danny asks, breakfast was amazing and now we are on a romantic walk through the local park. I try and remember what George told me through our messages. "Nothing specific apart from obviously food for the barbeque and stuff that we won't say I don't like it to," I tell him, it was gonna be a waste of money if we bought food that no one is going to eat. I am going to be the main cook of the evening, George already passed that responsibility onto me when we decided that we were going to have a BBQ two weeks before Danny's birthday. I also need to plan how I can smuggle my gift into the house without Danny noticing the night before his birthday.
Maybe I can get Danny to spend some time at a friends house, one of the guys for a few hours the day before and get everything set up and then pray to Johnny Three Tears that the surprise won't be revealed until I was ready for it to be revealed. I was going to have a camera set up to record his reaction because it was one, I was hoping to catch on film for memory purposes. I have a folder hidden away in my attic which has pictures from all of our dates and huge external hard drives full of random video clips which I want to keep up with throughout my relationship with Danny. There will be one day that I am old and will have forgotten all of these things and I want to have these videos to remind myself of the days where I was young and had my adorably sexy boyfriend by my side.
Our walk naturally took us to Walmart, so we could grab all of our items for the BBQ and then walk back to the car and drive over to George's house. Well, that is the plan I am hoping to go with right now. It is quite packed in the Walmart which makes the fact that we have two hours to go before the meet up time a little stressful. It might take us that time to get everything we need, and it isn't even a national holiday or something. "Don't worry about the haters," I whisper to Danny. He was reluctant to hold my hand while he heard some homophobic slurs from passers-by. Hate has always been something that Danny has been worried about, he got a lot of it when he first joined the band and that was hard for him to deal with.
He's getting better at dealing with it now, but it doesn't make hearing the slurs or the nastiness any easier. I give Danny a reassuring smile as he finally takes hold of my hand. We get everything we need and now we have to wait in the long queues at the checkout. We probably should have gone earlier but it is our mistake to make, I guess. It went a lot quicker than I was expecting in the end, I felt sorry for the poor souls who had been shoved onto the checkouts to deal with the sudden surge of people. Not everyone is going to be kind to them for the wait they have endured while they wait to pay for their shopping and get on with whatever they have planned for the rest of today. George will understand.
Everyone is probably buying last minute unless they have the things in the fridge or wherever they keep the food they are bringing. I get a text from George saying half an hour to an hour late is fine if we are stuck buying food because he is also stuck getting the drinks for everyone. I chuckle and Danny looks at me. Spent a total of an hour trying to get these groceries and we were finally done. We might end up being the first ones there and not the last ones like I was anticipating first thing this morning. "What is so funny?" Danny asks, now we are walking back to the car with a bag of food in one had and the other person's hand in the other. "George forgot to buy the drinks for everyone, so he has to do it now," I tell him.
"We all get a free pass of being late then?" Danny asks, with a cheeky smile because he knows we will not be late. "Yeah, but he'll probably end up with the same luck as we did getting our stuff. We might as well head over now. Asia will be there for a bit with Ava and you can play with her while I set up the cooking stuff because everyone knows Ava loves uncle Danny the most," I tell him. I was planning on asking Asia some questions about puppies and how to sneak one into a house without the other people knowing. I have a plan to get Danny a puppy for his birthday and a breed he will love for sure. The only problem I have is keeping it a secret from him for the next two weeks, once that is over, I am sure he'll be overjoyed.
"I don't get why though. It's not like I have done anything different to what you have done when you've been caring for her," he tells me. I know why Ava loves Danny more than she loves us. he cuddles her a bit longer than we do and there is a natural bond that just seemed to form when they met for the first time. "It's a sign for the future, I think. You and me in a big house by the beach with little mini Danny's and Jordon's of both genders running around," I tell him, I could be talking way too soon about certain topics, but at the same time I want Danny to have a clear idea of where I stand on them. Danny looked at me with a shocked expression. He wasn't expecting me to say that so suddenly.
"You really want to have children with me Jordon?" Danny asks, we had gotten into the car now and we have time to talk. "Of course, I do Danny. I can see myself spending my whole life with you. You are the man I want to be with from now until we are one hundred years old," I tell him, taking both his hands in mine then moving slowly up his arms until my hands where on his cheeks and I kissed him on the lips. He kisses me back and I enjoy the passionate moment between us. "I am glad you want to have children with me and stay with me until we are old. I want the same thing," Danny tells me. This is another reason why I love this man. The only disagreements we have had is on who buys dinner.
We got to George's house at the same time George came back from the store, so I was right about the luck I was talking to Danny about earlier. George hugs us both and we were the first guests to arrive. "You had the same luck as me then," George comments as we got the bags out of the trunk. "Yeah, they stuck like five poor souls onto checkouts by the time we got there," I tell him. He chuckles and we make Danny walk in first. George whispered that Ava was very excited about the fact that Danny and everyone else were coming over today. I love how she probably did say Danny first and then the rest of us. Danny will be a pro parent when our time comes, I am sure of it. I can't wait to see us become parents.
Ava tackles Danny as soon as the male managed to get in through the doorway. George and I are behind so that should Danny lose his balance we can catch him. Ava eventually lets us into the house and Danny goes away to play with Ava to keep her happy while I talk to George and Asia about the plan. I forgot it was gonna be worth mentioning the plan to George as well even though Asia might tell him herself. George might be a big help in distracting Danny. I can't talk too much about the plan because Ava keeps coming in and out of the kitchen asking for water and juice for her and Danny. Well, she asked once for juice but did ask a couple of times for snacks. I thought they were for her, but she kept giving Danny at least half of hers.
"Aw, she's so kind. She keeps coming back for more because she's giving Danny some of hers and not asking for him to have one of his own," Asia says, she went to check on them while this was going on because she was getting suspicious of Ava's activities. "Aw bless her, Danny is capable of asking for his own food though," George says, but we know what really happened. Ava was basically forcing Danny to have what she wouldn't eat. "We know but while it's kinda cute we can leave it for now," Asia says, we were too busy prepping the food that we had before Ava and Asia leave to go and visit some of her family or something. It's not going to be too much longer before the other's arrive. We are half an hour earlier than what time we were supposed to arrive.
Asia and Ava left just as the others arrived and Danny joined us in the kitchen. I had done all my prep work with George on both the food and my plan to smuggle a puppy into the house the day or night before Danny's birthday. I think the night before might be the best in case it yips and reveals itself before it is time for Danny to come down in the morning and for me to give him the box with the puppy inside. Danny is still none the wiser as far as I know as George was asking him about Ava and what they got up to while we were prepping the food. It is only 3.00 pm so there is no need to start the barbeque yet. We can start it at 5pm or later, depending on when the others declare they are hungry.
Besides it gives me more time to spend with Danny or prep the food. I honestly do not want to be spending the whole time cooking even though I volunteered to be the main chef of the evening. I want to spend some time cuddling up with my boyfriend and enjoying some quality time together on top of what we did for our date morning before we went shopping. "Split the cooking between you and I tonight?" George asks, I was watching Danny talking with Jorel while they were swinging on the back-porch swing with a beer. "Yeah if that is not a bother George. Kinda wanna spend a bit of time with Danny tonight," I tell him, watching as Danny and Jorel frown at probably an awful joke by Dylan or Matt because they were good at that.
A cushion being thrown at Matt moments later only confirmed my theory. These boys do need to stop relying on old jokes they have heard and think that might be funny to the others because it doesn't really work. If they came up with something more original or something that we have not heard 40 thousand times it would probably be alright. "We can take a break from this for a while and join them. The food won't go off by the time it is ready to be cooked," George says, and I basically run off towards my boyfriend who was happy to have my company. Jorel looked like he was happy to have a break from all the terrible jokes they had been suffering through while George and I were getting the main parts of prep done.
The night before Danny's birthday
I'd consider the BBQ we had two weeks ago a success. We aren't going to do the same thing tomorrow because of that. Besides Danny has requested something small and low key this year, so while it is not super cold, I am going to give him a picnic in the back yard. The guys are taking him out for a meal tonight which was George's idea to get him out of the house so that I could have a couple of hours to get this puppy settled in our garage for the evening and hope that he is calmer before Danny gets home. I know Danny won't check the garage because he'll just want some snuggles before we go to bed. I have the picnic stuff all prepped too so I can dedicate the whole day to me loving on my boyfriend and making it a day he'll remember forever.
I shouldn't be panicking about tomorrow as much as I am doing. Everything is fine, it is just going to be like all the other times I have given Danny birthday presents. I should not have put myself in the mindset that because it is his first birthday of us being lovers that I have to make it this huge thing where I overdo it. Danny must have felt the same way a couple of months back when it was my birthday. This feeling won't be here this time next year I am sure of it. I will be much calmer by then. I won't be stressing so much for probably no reason. I have my hidden puppy corner all ready to go, just waiting on the lady to bring the puppy to me and get him all settled in. She said that this one is the calmest of the litter which gives me hope that I have a higher chance of my plan working out.
Now that the lady has left with the puppy now in my possession, I am one hundred percent confident that Danny is going to LOVE this puppy when he gets to meet the little guy in the morning. I got a text from Dylan saying that Danny was missing me there. I text Danny a selfie with a caption telling him to not worry, I was getting secret birthday stuff ready. I made sure I was in the kitchen and the birthday candles were in the background by mistake, but I realised before I sent it that it was more helpful. I was going to bake him a cake until the oven broke and we are waiting on a replacement. I got a store cake which I knew he liked, and I was just going to add his name on it. I was trying to make this perfect.
Danny flew into my arms almost when he got home. "Aw, I missed you too," I tell him, as I wrap my arms around his waist. I have checked on the little pupper a few times now and he was doing great. He's puppy pad trained which is a bonus and has lived up to his quiet nature that I have been informed about. The pupper should be fine for the few short hours he will be left alone while we both sleep. I plan on getting up before Danny to get the special collar I bought on the pup and get him settled into the box where I will surprise Danny as his last gift from me. Well, I will put the pup in the box last minute and then bring him up. I have worked through this plan a lot since I saw Danny looking at this breed online a few months ago.
It has been a long time coming, we are dog parents now. Although it is weird to say we when one of the parents has no idea, he is a doggy dad until the morning. I get settled on the couch and Danny joins me. We have been binge watching a few shows now and if we are apart for whatever reason we dare not to watch the show until we are back together. "I love you Jordon," he tells me, and I smile. I can't wait for tomorrow morning. "I love you too Danny," I tell him, and he smiles. I have the cameras on charge so I can set them up somewhere Danny won't see them. I am going to have them in a perfect angle to get the reaction to the puppy tomorrow morning. I have to send it to George as soon as I can because he is just as excited as I am.
I sent him a picture of the puppy earlier when he was in the bathroom. He had the same reaction I did when the lady had left. I did not want her to think I was a crazy person to squeal over how stinking cute this puppy is. She's happy that the puppy is going to a safe and suitable home. I had to explain that the puppy is a birthday surprise to my dog loving boyfriend to make her less worried about the set up being in the slightly cold garage. I told her he'd be in the main house by this time tomorrow for sure. She was also worried that the puppy was a birthday gift, but I told her how much we love dogs and have been carefully considering this for a while now to make sure that we were capable of the responsibility.
We go to bed at our usual time tonight which surprised me because I was fully expecting him to be all kid like giddy with excitement and want to go to bed earlier so the birthday could come quicker. I know I was feeling that way because I really wanted to give Danny the puppy tonight, but I promised myself that it will be better to do it in the morning like originally planned. "Goodnight Danny, I love you," I tell him. We share a sweet but passionate kiss in bed. "Goodnight Jordon, I love you too," he tells me, and we snuggle up all ready to fall asleep. Surely to god he must be excited now. I see a little grin on his face as he falls asleep and I was quick to follow suit with a grin of my own. Tomorrow will be perfect.
~next morning~ Danny p.o.v ~
"Right stay there, I have one more present left," Jordon says, this morning has been great. My mom is coming over in a bit to drop off gifts and spend some time with me. She said because thanksgiving is soon, she will not stay for dinner. I have loved all of my gifts and I was curious to discover what the last one will be. Jordon seems to be the most excited for me to open this one. He might be going crazy; I have never seen a man so excited for someone else's birthday. He did admit at the start he was worried about one present and my reaction to it. He was worried about the whole day if I was being honest. I know I was when it was his birthday a few months ago. It's like being boyfriends has suddenly ramped up the expectations in our brains when in reality it hasn't.
Soon enough Jordon walks back in with another perfectly wrapped box. He places it on my lap, and I notice whatever is in there has a bit of weight to it. Jordon sits down next to me and I carefully lift up the lid. As soon as I saw what was in there, I nearly dropped the lid on Jordon in shock. I put the lid down and carefully pick up the little puppy that was in there. I look to Jordon who was grinning like the cat who had gotten the cream. "Surprise baby," he tells me, and I smile. This has gotta be the best birthday ever. I noticed I was about to cry, and I kissed him on the cheek and then the puppy. It is a Red English Bulldog puppy. "So, this is why you didn't come with last night?" I ask, putting the puppy down on my lap to sniff around.
"Yeah, the lady said he's the calmest of the litter. I had to be last minute though because if he wasn't and he spent the night yipping and stuff then my hard work would have been ruined," he tells me, and I chuckle. I wonder sometimes if Jordon has the perfectionist trait. "Well, I have been surprised and I love it. Thank you so much baby," I tell him, and he kisses me on the cheek. I let him clean up the mess like he wants to while I get to know the new little puppy. The bow collar he has on is perfect too. I can start thinking of a name now, I didn't know I was going to get a puppy so soon and it meant I had no ideas.
I let the little puppy explore more of his surroundings because I bet, he was somewhere else last night and not in the main house. I would have noticed then and he didn't want that. George was texting me asking if I had been given everything yet. Seems like he was in on the plan Jordon had, it makes sense and I wasn't mad at anyone. The dinner out last night was pretty good to be fair and I enjoyed myself despite how much I wished Jordon was there. I sent a picture of the puppy to George and told him that I loved the pup. He was happy because Jordon had driven him slightly mad with how worried he was about my reaction. I chuckled and told the puppy that both his dads are crazy but especially Jordon.
Jordon had walked back in when I said that, and I smiled at him. He knows I love him, and I wasn't meaning any malice behind my words. "Good to know the pup knows how mad we are," Jordon says, and I laugh. I still can't think of a name; I had a couple of ideas though. I want Jordon to have a say too because even though it is my birthday present, he has a right to have a say because he got the puppy. "Anyway, have you thought of a name for the little dude yet?" he asks me, and I shake my head truthfully. "I have a couple of ideas but nothing solid yet," I tell him. Mom is going to be here in an hour, maybe she'll help me name him. I know she is going to fall in love with the puppy as much as we have done.
Well, after 3 hours of discussion we have a name. Louie Murillo is what the little puppy is going to be called. I wanted the surname to be a combination of mine and Jordon's surname, but he refused and insisted that it should just be my surname instead. To be fair it didn't take me long to come around to the idea. All the combinations of our surname sounded weird and Jordon strongly opposed to the puppy having Scene as his surname. I asked why and he said that there was a possibility of either the puppy outliving the band or him finding Scene to embarrassing even though we'd only use the surname when the puppy was in deep trouble. This has been the best birthday ever and I loved every minute of it. Even the romantic picnic we had was perfect. Jordon had nothing to worry about.
And that is the end of another one shot! Hope you enjoyed me staying up till like two am cause insomnia and this needed to get done.
