Day 1
I can't believe I finally did it! I have a pet all my own!
Well, that's not entirely true, Black Hayate really belongs to Colonel Hawkeye; but she was kind enough to let me take care of him while she and Roy are out of town! So, for seven whole days I have my own puppy!
He's so sweet too, I can understand why Sergeant Fury picked him up; and why Colonel Hawkeye decided to take him in. Black Hayate almost reminds me of how Den was as a puppy, even his coloring is the same. I just hope Hayate's energy and curiosity doesn't get him into the same sort of trouble; it would be a shame for yet someone else to need automail. With the Colonel as his master, though, I can't imagine he would get into too much trouble; I'll just have to try extra hard to not let her down.
Brother still claims that I never asked him about any of this, and, if I did, then I should have made sure that he'd heard me. He says that I was taking advantage of his short attention span which, I guess I was; but then I asked him if he really would have said "no." He blustered for a minute, but then finally gave in and said no, he wouldn't have said no anyway. "But you still should've asked me."
I should really make it up to him. Roy went grocery shopping before he left, so maybe I'll try and cook him a nice dinner, since we've been calling out a lot recently with both of them working late. There should still be some wine left too, and hopefully Hayate will have fallen asleep by then. I'd hate to have to lock him out of our room or have him…interrupt and then just put Brother back into a bad mood.
But it will have to wait until after I feed and walk Black Hayate, which I'm certain Brother will grumble about. But if he really has a problem with it, then he can take it up with the Colonel.
To be continued…
