Chapter 3: Please?

"Oh, come on, Ally," Austin whined, following the Brunette around their apartment- no, they are not in a relationship, they just happen to share the same apartment. They're "just best friends", at least that's what they tell other people. "What's wrong with getting a dog? It's not like the dog will do anything bad in here."

"There's nothing wrong with getting a dog, the problem is that when- if we get a dog, I'll probably end up the only one taking care of it." she countered "Getting a dog means being able to take care of it, wash it, groom it, feed it, take it to the vet every month. That's a lot of work- you can't even get the groceries on your own."

"Hey, I told you the woman in the store misled me to another aisle!" he defended "And I can take care of a dog."

"Oh, please, you can't even take care of yourself."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

They grew silent, letting her words sink in. She didn't mean for it to sound so belittling, but she can't take it back now- it was already out there- and they both know that something has come up(or down) between them.

Ally stopped dead in her tracks and turned to the Blonde "Austin, I didn't mean-"

"Save it, Ally." he turned his back against her, heading back to his room.

She followed him "Austin, wait."

"Are you two seriously fighting like an old married couple again?" Trish deadpanned as she burst in to their living room, carrying two bags of groceries. "Seriously guys, just make it out already- literally!"

"We don't act like a married couple!" they both insisted, glaring at the Latina.

"Yeah, keep telling yourselves that." Trish snorted, placing the bags on the counter top of the kitchen. "Anyway, I just came by to drop the groceries you asked me to pick up, Ally." then she left without another word, a small smirk plastered on her face. She knew it would only be a matter of time before those two would finally get it together- maybe today would be that day.

They were silent again, an eerie awkwardness settling upon them. The tension was too thick for the two of them. Finally, Ally spoke up.

She sighed, cautiously walking closer to him "I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean it like that. I just know that you'll be exhausted if we ever get a dog- it will take a lot of effort to take care of a dog, it's kind of like taking care of a baby..."

He pouted, his eyebrows furrowed "So, what's hard there?"

"Ugh, clearly you've never taken care of a baby on your own before." she said.

"And you have?"

"Well... no, not exactly but still, I know it's going to be very difficult."

"How can you know if we don't try? Come on, Ally, if we get a dog it'll be like training for when we finally do take care of a baby..." he trailed off. Clearly, their conversation had taken a full new meaning. He looked at her with his puppy dog eyes, pleading with all his will power. Weird as their conversation had sounded, they both seem to not mind it that much- clearly, they were used to having a conversation like that.

"Austin..." she breathed out, not letting herself fall for his puppy dog eyes again. She'd been fooled by those gorgeous Hazel Brown eyes too many times.

"Ally..." he imitated her tone, advancing towards her. She backed away. "Please?"

"No." she shook her head but he didn't listen to her. He inched more closer to her, and she did her best to keep their distance but eventually she ran out of place to run to and her back hit a wall.

He cocked his head at her, their noses almost grazing "Please, Ally? I promise I'll help you take care of the dog."

Her breath hitched, they've never been this close before. Sure, they've slept in one room before, heck they even shared beds before but it was never this intimate.

She gulped, looking straight to his eyes and getting lost in them(so much for not falling for his puppy dog eyes) but really, who is she kidding she will always be a sucker for his eyes- she will always be a sucker for him. Not that she would actually admit that out loud.

She shut her eyes tight, if she can't see his eyes then she can't fall for him(not possible of course, she already fell for him a long time ago). "N-no..." she insisted, although it lacked the insistent part. Her voice quivered(a fact he didn't fail to notice).

He smirked seeing the uneasy expression in her face. He loved that he was able to do those kinds of things to her- it made him feel like they were even because she can do those things to him as well(not that he'll ever admit it).

"Come on, Ally," he whispered to her ear, his breath ghosting in her skin.

"I-I don't know, A-Austin..." she stammered "I don't think this is a good idea... I mean, getting a dog..."

He shook his head "I don't think this is about getting a dog anymore..."

"W-what are you talking about? This is totally about the dog."

"Okay, if you say so..." Then he backed away from her, a teasing smirk plastered on his face.

"What?" Ally stared at him as he retreated from their position. No doubt that she was confused about what is going on. "Wait, where are you going?"

"What do you mean?"

"That's just it? You're not going to push through with getting a dog?"

"Well, you said that you don't want to get a dog," he shrugged "And what's the point of fighting with you over it if you still don't want a dog..."

Her eyes narrowed at him with suspicion "I know you, Austin. You're not the one to just give up that easily. You'll fight for what you want until you get it... So, what's the catch?"

Austin closed his eyes and let out an exasperated sigh "I'm tired of this, Ally." he was suddenly blowing off "I'm tired of fighting about what I want because I'll never have it! If we're on different side then I don't want to fight, I'm giving up, that's the catch! I don't want to fight with you anymore... b-because I know you d-don't want to get a... dog..."

Her eyes softened at him. She knew he wasn't talking about getting a dog anymore- he knew that as well- she really doesn't care anymore whether they get a dog or not. Because as cheesy as it sounded, it's not the dog that they want.

"Are you sure this is still about getting a dog?" she teased, advancing to him and taking his hands in hers.

"Really, Ally?" he deadpanned, sending her a pointed.

She chuckled "I'm sorry... I'm just kidding." then she draped her arms around his neck. "I don't want to fight with you too..."

And before either of them knew it, their lips were colliding against each other. Her soft lips moving along with his. His hands clutched on her waist, pulling her closer to him as if she was his life line.

He wanted to stay in that moment for the rest of his life, with her lips on his and her hands rubbing at the nape of his neck, and his fingers twirling into the curls of her soft silky Chestnut Brown hair while his other hand run up and down her back, but unfortunately because of a thing called air they had to pull away.

Austin breathed out a happy sigh, resting his forehead to hers. All the pent up tension and emotions were gone, they both know what they want and neither would let anything get in the way of that.

"We're getting a cat." she told him before he could utter a single word. And then disentangled herself from him and ran out of the apartment, grabbing his cars keys to head to the nearest pet shop.

"Ally!" he whined again, following her out of their apartment. But this time he had a smile on his face.

Cause really, what difference is there if they get a cat or a dog? So long as he's getting a pet with her then he's okay with it.

A/N: Eh, that was cheesy ending... It's not my best, I'll admit but, you know, it's been a while since the last time I updated this, so I still hope that you enjoyed this. Personally, I think it's a little lousy of me to end the one shot like that, but oh well guess that's just how things really is. And this is also a lot shorter from the first one shots that I did in this A&A one-shot series(which is also a first for my one-shot series cause normally in my other one-shot series for other fandoms I only do one thousand words or so one shots, so basically this is a standard for me). That probably didn't make any sense but nevermind... oh, well... Hahahaha. XD

Anyway, I promise I have more(better) one shots coming. I hope you guys don't mind that it took me this long to update. Also, I don't have a Song of the Chapter cause I can't think of one. But, uh, I'm hoping you still like this. As always, if you have any question you can always ask me, I swear I don't bite. :)

Lastly, I have a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: I have one big surprise for you guys this September. I have an A&A multi-chapter fic coming, entitled "It's You All Along". So you guys should watch out for that. I promise, it's gonna be good. I have already planned up everything and I'm having great progress to it so I hope you guys will like it. It's a really good fic. I'm super excited for you guys to read it! Eeeeekkkk! =DDDDDD
