notintehkitchenMr. Hawk, will you please come back to the house? I found a solution to our problem.
I've sealed my gas mask on permanently so I don't have to talk to you again or be strange. I'll just be a normal Pyro again, you don't even have to think of me as a girl if you don't want to. Just think of me as a boy--or even better, an it. I'm fine with that, really. Just come back, please?

[And in Sniper's mind, that'd be certainly be a shame.]
[Action]
Date: 2012-01-29 01:09 am (UTC)But he's so cute I can't help it!
[Pressing Teriyaki to her chest again, she nuzzled her chin against his tiny head. The feeling of his fluffy fur tickled.]
Teriyaki needs to be held by you too, you're his father after all!
[Action]
Date: 2012-01-29 05:41 am (UTC)I'll hold him, but I'm not his father. He's a pet, Pyro.
[Action]
Date: 2012-01-29 06:02 am (UTC)[Placing him down on the ground, the dog immediately began to paw at the bottom of Sniper's legs before giving a chipper bark.]
See? He called you Dad.
[Action]
Date: 2012-01-29 06:10 am (UTC)[It took some effort, but Sniper managed to get low enough to pick up the puppy by his scruff, maneuvering the wriggling animal until he was comfortably held in his working arm. His cold demeanor disappeared as the puppy licked at his face, his grin more than he could hold back.]
Rambunctious, ain't ya? We'll probably need a leash for you, unless Pyro wants to go running after when you take off.
[Action]
Date: 2012-01-29 06:17 am (UTC)[Not to mention food and water bowls, treats and toys.]
Let's pick out something for him to wear.
[Walking towards the back of the store, Pyro crouched down and began observing all the different dog collars. Many of the ones she spotted looked rather feminine.]
He's a boy dog... he can't wear anything pink.
[But that would still be cute.
Moving a few of them off the hangers, she finally spotted one in the back that had a flame print on it.]
Ah! This one! This one!
[Holding out to show Teriyaki, Pyro smiled.]
What do you think?
[Action]
Date: 2012-01-29 06:26 am (UTC)Not that this was his dog, of course. He was Pyro's dog, as evidenced by his name. She called to them, holding out a collar that made her ownership all the more appropriate.]
S'perfect. Ain't it, pup?
[The dog nudged at his face again- he tried not to let his enjoyment show, but it was clear the dog put him at peace on some deeper level.]
[Action]
Date: 2012-01-31 12:00 pm (UTC)You're so cute.
[It was directed at both of them but Pyro tried to keep her eyes on the dog as she placed the collar around his neck securely. When she was finished, she took a few steps away and observed how it looked.]
It really is perfect.
[Action]
Date: 2012-01-31 06:44 pm (UTC)Yeah. Perfect.
[He offered the pup back to her. He was starting to settle down and nod off against his chest.]
Come on, then. Let's go home.
[Action]
Date: 2012-02-01 10:57 am (UTC)Ah, Teriyaki is so warm.
[Before she could utter another word, Teriyaki began to give her several kisses as she attempted to head out the door.]
H-hey! That's a lot of kissing! More then Jell-O does to me!
[Laughing at the way it tickled, Pyro turned her face out of reach. It wasn't long before the puppy whined he couldn't lick her anymore.]
Mr. Hawk, I love him already.
[Action]
Date: 2012-02-01 11:23 am (UTC)[Having had his eyes on the trek ahead and trying not to think about how long a trip it was, Sniper hadn't been paying too much attention to Pyro or the pup until her last statement. He was unsure if she'd been talking to him about the dog, or if she'd been speaking to the dog about her feelings for him. It wasn't unusual for her to talk to animals, after all- she talked to that slime of hers all the time.
Taking the safe bet that she'd been talking to him, he tried not to look as though he'd taken it in some way she hadn't meant it.]
Oh, the pup. Right, he's gonna be a fine dog.
[Why was he getting so worked up over this?
He knew why, and felt ridiculous for it. He wasn't some kid, desperate for a girl's attention. He was an adult, the older of the two of them. Yes, he'd started allowing himself to think that maybe there could be something between them, if only because the actual job didn't exist in Paradise and his only role now was to support his only existing teammate. She made him feel... needed, somehow. Like he still had a job to do.
He caught himself staring at her again; it made him uncomfortable to think he was that attracted to her, that there was attachment for her growing in him. This was just all the job he had left, he told himself. He didn't need anyone.
Though needing and wanting were two very different things, and one was a far more dangerous beast to tackle.]
[Action]
Date: 2012-02-01 11:33 am (UTC)[Pressing her side up against Sniper as they walked, Pyro immediately began to nuzzle up against his shoulder with her head. Everything going on in Sniper's mind would not be helped with her displays of affection.]
I'm happy. As long as I have Mr. Hawk and Teriyaki, I'll always be happy. I want them to stay with me for the rest of my life.
[Action]
Date: 2012-02-01 11:40 am (UTC)Ya mean that? I thought you wanted me gone and the Truckie back just earlier this evening.
[Action]
Date: 2012-02-02 02:28 am (UTC)I changed my mind!
[Laughing, she patted him on the top of his head before running a short distance in front of him and turning back around.]
If I didn't watch over you, there would be no one willing to go to such lengths to feed you and bathe you!
[Speaking of bathing, she just remembered something.]
Oh yeah, you probably need another one. You should take one everyday.
[Action]
Date: 2012-02-02 04:56 am (UTC)And if I refuse?
[Action]
Date: 2012-02-02 05:09 am (UTC)[If only Pyro realized her intent and his thoughts of her intent were totally different.]
[Action]
Date: 2012-02-02 05:13 am (UTC)Well maybe I don't feel like takin' one tonight.
[Action]
Date: 2012-02-02 05:17 am (UTC)Is that so? Well, it looks like I'll have to take you kicking and screaming.
[Action]
Date: 2012-02-02 05:33 am (UTC)[His face was close to hers; he could feel her breath on him, smell her hair in the night air. He hesitated, eyes taking her in before he finally turned from her and continued toward RED base. A part of him had wanted more from that exchange; he stifled it down, trying to rationalize away just how he was feeling as some medication-induced stupor or something that ultimately wasn't what it seemed. He was behaving ridiculously, like some kid desperate for attention.
He shook his head, sighing. He wasn't a kid. He was a man, and he was lusting after her, to put it more accurately. That was why he was so ashamed of his behavior. It went against everything he'd stood for.
And still, he struggled against it somehow. Even with her insistence that it wasn't wrong if they both wanted it, something still held him on a leash. He was the adult, and needed to be the one to make the right decisions. That was all there was to it.]
Come on. We should get him back before it gets too cold. A pup like him shouldn't be out in this for too long.
[Action]
Date: 2012-02-02 05:40 am (UTC)Feeling a little self-conscious, Pyro began to turn away and follow witch changing the subject. After all, if Sniper wanted to look at anything, the puppy was cuter than she was.]
Oh, he will be fine. Didn't you know, Sniper? Shiba Inus come from the mountains of Japan. They are used to the cold. That's why he's so fluffy.
[Action]
Date: 2012-02-02 05:45 am (UTC)[They reached the steps to the base, which meant it was time for the arduous climb up them. RED hobbled his way up about halfway, stopping to rest for a moment.]
Once I've got both of my legs, I'll have to teach him how to hunt.
[Action]
Date: 2012-02-02 05:59 am (UTC)Teriyaki could bring home bacon for us!
[Clearly she didn't understand what kind of hunting he meant.]
[Action]
Date: 2012-02-02 06:05 am (UTC)S'not exactly what I meant. I meant in the woods. Animals and such. Dogs are great for that.
[Action]
Date: 2012-02-02 06:12 am (UTC)[She then remembered something about Sniper.]
I see. It's because of where you come from.
[Tapping him on the forehead, she grinned and entered inside.]
Sniper likes to be in the wild like an animal.
[Action]
Date: 2012-02-02 06:18 am (UTC)I'm not sure what you mean by that. I just like hunting, s'all. Been doin' it most a' my life.
