I don't own Blackbird. Blackbird is (C) of Shilin

Prompt: Dog sitting

"Junior!" Veloce yelled, her voice echoing in the empty condo. "Junior! Where are you?"

Her eyebrow was twitching again. Clapping her hands over her eye, Veloce walked through her familiar home, looking for a seven month old Blackbird Junior.

Her feet brushed against something furry; Veloce unclasped her hands and lounged at the foot of their couch. It turns out that she had brushed up against one of Blackbird's discarded coats.

She would never understand that woman's tastes.

"Where could a mutt that huge disappear to?!"

As if the Gods themselves were toying with her; Veloce was attacked by a massive tongue.

Gagging and bringing up her hands on Junior's face, she glared at the large puppy through her bangs. A look from Veloce was enough to emasculate a full grown man. However Junior merely barked and ran off.

"Junior! Come back here!'

Once he jumped into their bed and Veloce ended up sleeping on the floor.

Another time, Veloce had forgotten to feed him –-she was working on her assignments and so she forgot about lunch all together, and Junior slobbered all over her shoulder.

Blackbird had found the small puppy in the back of her dojo, in a box. Only now, Veloce couldn't picture that the huge monster of a dog she was dog sitting now was once the little puppy Blackbird brought home.

Speak of the devil; the pugilist had a dojo emergency. Most likely, of the the Sifu's couldn't make it and she was asked to cover.

It was evening, almost 7:00pm, and it was time for Junior's bath.

It may have been cute when he was a puppy but as an almost grown dog, it became a chore.

"And I showered this afternoon, too." Veloce muttered, using her sleeve to wipe her face.

"Junior! Come out at onc---"

WHUMP

Blackbird turned the key into the locked and stepped into their condo. "Veloce? Is dinner ready yet?"

She was starving.

When no reply was heard, Blackbird stepped into the living room.

"Hey boy!" Blackbird laughed, ruffling her dog's head. "Where's Vel?"

"…Get… him…. off…. meee…"

Though Veloce hated dog sitting, she loved the rewards.

-FIN-

Prompt: Ring

Red.

That was all Veloce saw the moment she opened her eyes and to start a new day. She didn't know why Blackbird Junior was so affectionate toward her. All Veloce ever did was wash him, yell at him if he ever chewed through her shoes and buy his food at the local pet store where Iriel worked. Blackbird did everything else.

That night Veloce had a wonderful sleep. The kind of sleep where you fall, deep into the arms of your significant other and simply drowned in their scent.

She woke up with something wet, red (and panting) sliding across her face. An emerald eye peeked through the curtain of ashen hair and a grinning Blackbird Junior stared back.

"... Go away." Veloce growled. She grabbed the blankets and twisted away to the empty side of the bed. "I don't want to get up, I have no need to get up. Go away." Feeling a little guilty, she added quickly. "I love you, I really do but... Go away."

Veloce furrowed her eyes as she felt something wet sniff her exposed ear. "Junior, Don't you dare."

He barked.

While if Junior was still a puppy, it would have been cute. Veloce would have taken the puppy in her arms and slept with him as if he was a plushie.

Junior was no longer small, he was large and almost weighed as much as Veloce. The noise was seemingly amplified in her ear and for a moment, a ringing accompanied his bark.

"JUNIOR!"

-FIN-
