Day 6 - Flirt: My over-enthusiastic dog likes you more than me and it's really ruining my game" AU
In the movies, it's adorable when a dog pushes down its owners love interest.
In real life, it's incredibly awkward and mortifying when your 30 lb, incredibly loving but over-enthusiastic stumpy legged corgi headbutts the cute guy from the record store you've been trying to flirt with for three weeks into a dirty puddle of water.
"I am," Maka says, holding on to her wriggling dog, "so, so sorry about this."
Soul stands up, grimacing as he wrings out his once white hoodie. "That dog is a menace to society."
Maka wants to die. Stumpy cranes his head to lick Soul's face. "Stumpy–"
"His name is Stumpy? What kind of self respecting dog is named Stumpy?"
"It's short for Stumptimus Prime. You know, like Optimus Prime?" Maka explains. "But anyway, he just really likes you and I really am very sorry about this and I'll pay for dry cleaning–"
Soul seemingly accepts his fate and lets the dog kiss him. "You're lucky you're cute," he says to either Maka or the dog. Maybe both. "Give me your cell phone."
Maka fumbles around in her bag and hands it over without question. "I really am–"
"– so sorry, yeah, yeah. Here's my number. In case Stumps over here wants to hang out. You can come too, if you want."
She dumbly waves as Soul lopes back to the record store. "Did you just get me a date?" she asks her dog. He barks enthusiastically in response. "I love you so much right now."
