#I'm a little grossed out if one of my head hairs or some dog fur is in my good
Note
Hiya~
I know I've sent you so many asks already (and feel free to tell me to stop if I'm annoying you. I'll understand) but I was thinking maybe a Melissa's reaction to reader bringing home a puppy without letting her know first. Maybe one of the Italian breeds like a Cane Corso.
<3
i literally just wrote this quickly because i love dogs and couldn't resist so i hope you don't hate it - but also i love your requests sosososososo much!!

Melissa had been waiting for you to come home after your trip to the store; she’d sent you out to pick up a couple of ingredients for dinner. An hour ago. She was almost done with her second glass of wine and you’d still not come back. 
She was beginning to get worried, only hoping that her wandering thoughts of something terrible having happened were way off the mark. 
She breathed a sigh of relief when she finally heard the front door open and close, soon followed by you, bag in hand and a smile on your face. 
“What took you so long?” she asked you, taking the bag from you to begin unpacking. “I was beginning to think you’d started another street brawl.”
“That was one time. And an accident. And hardly a ‘brawl’,” you argued with a huff whilst she just laughed. “My friend called me whilst I was out, she was nearby and I got distracted, I’m sorry.”
“Mm, and I see you bought my favourite coffee to get in my good books,” she muttered as she put it away.
“Has it worked?” 
“Definitely, honey,” she answered, pressing a kiss to your lips. When she pulled away she eyed you inquisitively, eyebrow raised. She knows you too well not to notice something was up.
“What?” you laughed, shuffling where you stood. 
“Which friend was it?”
“Angela.”
“The one with all those dogs?” she countered whilst you nodded and she began chopping vegetables. 
“Don’t you think having a little puppy would be so perfect?”
“No,” she returned. “I love them but I don’t think I could handle two of you with the zoomies every night,” she added with a chuckle. 
“I get that,” you agreed. “Want me to help?”
“Sure.” Her voice questioned your intentions and she was convinced there was some kind of ulterior motive. “You tryna butter me up or somethin’?”
“Can’t I help my girlfriend, just because?”
“I guess,” she shrugged. “But don’t actually touch anything.”
“Y’know, her Cane Corso just had a couple puppies,” you muttered as you took a seat on the kitchen counter, mindlessly stroking her hair to try your hardest to appease her. 
“Proper Italian dogs,” she mused. 
“Here, I’ve got some photos,” you responded, shoving your phone in front of her face excitedly. “They’re a few months old and one of them nibbles on your fingers with his toothless mouth which was a little gross but I love him so it’s fine.” You were getting antsy, glancing towards the front door, and luckily Melissa was distracted enough to not notice. 
“He sounds like you - is he gassy as well?” she teased, only receiving a little shove from you in return. 
“Rude,” you pouted as you hopped down from your seat, heading back towards the front door. “I just remembered I forgot something in the car, don't miss me too much - also don’t forget how much you absolutely adore me, and how you can never be mad at me about anything ever.” 
“God, what’d you do?” she sighed, turning off the stovetop, but you were already gone, muttering to yourself words she couldn’t clearly hear. 
You were glad to see her facing away from you when you walked back inside and you were able to walk up behind her before she could chastise you right away. The dog in your arms sat comfortably with his head against your shoulder, soft fur against your cheek and his tail wagging slightly. 
You cleared your throat to get her attention and her eyes widened, though she wasn’t overly surprised considering you're always causing a mischief she only pretends to find annoying. 
“No. No, we cannot have a dog,” she spoke, keeping her eyes on your face to avoid his.
“Aw, but look at him,” you pouted, using his paw to wave at her. “Hi, mom, I woof you.”
“That was terrible,” she groaned, unable to hide her smile at your silly grin. You both looked so adorable, both of you sporting puppy dog eyes. “We can’t keep him. He hasn’t got a name so it’s not too late fo-”
“He has got a name,” you interrupted. “I named him Hoagie and I love him.”
She hated how she couldn’t resist the pair of you and how her own body betrayed her when she cupped his face between her hands, letting him chew on her thumb excitedly. 
“You’re both gonna cause me a lotta trouble.”
“Yep,” you grinned largely, instantly grimacing at the sudden appearance of a certain smell you don’t care to sniff ever again. 
“I knew he was gonna be gassy,” Melissa groaned, pinching her nose between her fingers as she grabbed the air freshener. It would soon be clear that the cotton fresh spray would have to make a regular appearance.

You wake up on your ex's fire escape; wc 2.5k
A/N: I don't really know how to categorize this ? starts as funny, gets into angst with a happy/hopeful ending. I might write this again for another character and make it 0 angst but using Megumi just let this get away from me. Thank you @sixeyesgojo for reading through my first draft, it helped me edit a lot since 😘. Although I have not looked over the ending since I wrote it, I'm done working on this fic so sorry if it falls flat.
CW: Mentions of excessive alcohol consumption.
Suggested listening: song 1 and song 2 you can pick just one to cater your experience (they are VERY different vibes) or switch over around the shampoo situation.
Tumblr media
Objectively, there were good ways to wake up. In the arms of a beautiful person, with cold sheets and a warm body, or with the scent of your favourite breakfast wafting through the air. No disrespect to mornings at all, there were good ways to wake up, you were mature enough to recognize this.
A perplexingly rough, wet, and warm sensation gliding across your cheek, while last night’s jeans dug into your waist, and there was a pounding in your head? It was fairly safe to say this was not a good way to wake up.
It spoke volumes for how out of it you were that it was only just beginning to register in your brain that you weren’t at home, you were not even on a bed, and that the continued licks across your face were the work of animal far too large to be one of your friends cats.
“Fucking hell you’re supposed to be intimidating” you hear a voice grumble without much heat behind it.
As you forced your eyes open you are met with an excited dog tapping its paws in excitement of your presence, and the man behind the half hearted grumble. His gaze was unmistakably familiar, but his expression could not be more foreign to you.
“uhm, Hi” you croaked out while plastering a wide grin in hopes he wouldn’t murder you.
His eyebrow raised on instinct in response. You knew he was waiting for you to explain what you were doing, but the reality was you didn’t have an answer.
“I wish I could explain, but honestly I’m not sure what happened – last thing I remember was being bought another shot… Wait, where am I exactly?” You were desperately hoping you came off as charming instead of pathetic given the circumstances.
“How out of it are you?” he scrunched his face in confusion as he muttered to himself. “You’re on my fire escape, it’s in Ikebukuro? Tokyo… Japan, in case you needed the reminder”
It felt infantilizing to have him scold you like this, which only made this next part all the more difficult. You were not supposed to be Ikebukuro. You were not supposed to be in Tokyo. You were supposed to be in Yokohama. What was even more concerning is that you were definitely not supposed to be on your old fire escape, the one connected to the apartment your ex still lived in.
As you painstakingly pushed yourself upright, a warm weight laid on your upper thigh, a furry face nuzzling into your stomach – you wondered if she was aware of tension between you and her owner. You scratched behind her ears, letting Jade know she was in fact a good girl despite the earlier reprimand from her owner.
As much as you’d love to spend the day sitting on a fire escape petting your ex’s dog, you had to go home, you just need to call –
Your phone. Where was your phone? You felt around frantically for your phone, only to come up with nothing. A light sense of panic bubbles in the pit of your stomach, only to be swiftly interrupted.
“it’s already charging, I plugged it in last night, you dropped in inches away from falling down”
So, he was still watching you despite having returned inside long ago. It was difficult for you to parse this sort of gesture, how caring could it be to plug someone’s phone in when you still left them to sleep outside? Maybe he was just doing everything he could to get rid of you. It was too much to try and analyze for someone who blacked out and woke up in a different city.
“Why did you come here?” you hear him bite out from inside. It sounds harsh, but it feels like his stange way of inviting you inside.
“I don’t know what you’ve picked up from these circumstances, but not knowing is kind of a part of the problem. Believe me, there’s no amount of conscious desperation that would leaf me to sleeping on a fire escape, even yours”
You glanced around the apartment to avoid his void expression; it was spotless. But it was even harder noticing, the turned over picture frames, your favourite quilt still on the back of the couch – remnants of the past living in the present.
This tension only increased as a mug of freshly brewed green tea was placed in front of you. How thoughtful to remember you hated coffee, to realize your throat was probably killing you – you would have tasted a creeping bitterness from all these emotions, if it wasn’t overpowered by what was the distinct taste of your favourite brand that had to be special ordered.
He had always complained, there were plenty of good options for tea at the grocery store, why wasn’t that enough for you? It was so much extra effort to special order from a tea shop across town, the only place that you were able to charm the owner into ordering for you.
“How are you still so fucking awful at taking care of yourself?” he spat the words out like an insult, it was jarring honestly. Despite the time away from each other, it was no less strange to feel his detachment.
He moved towards the door beckoning Jade to follow. “There’s a towel and change of clothes in the bathroom, you should probably take a shower. If I’m not back by the time you leave, just lock up before you go, I haven’t moved the spare key.” Without looking back or waiting for a response he left.
You were starting to recognize your growing frustration – you had known him how long? Dated and lived together for a not-insignificant amount of time? Yet here you were, no idea how to interpret this strange morning, much less his last comment. Did he want you to be here when he returned? Were you supposed to leave and act like you had never been there? Could he genuinely be as indifferent as he wanted you to believe? It pissed you that your feelings were probably plain on your face.
You searched for your phone, finding it on what used to be your side of the couch. It felt ridiculous to think you ever had a side of the couch, but you were both creatures of habit and slowly without even thinking you both made your own little sanctuary mere metres away from each other.
You awoke your phone, expecting a flood of texts and phone calls from your friends, only to find nothing. Not a single check in from anyone. You open the group chat and furiously tap out a message.
<Hey assholes who let me go home on my own last night? Anyways good job I blacked out and I’m on Fushiguro’s fire escape! You are all absolutely useless to me I swear to god.>
Your phone vibrates rapidly as you place it down but you’re not in the mood to field their questions.
You’re tempted to leave now, just to get it over with, go home and crawl into bed and forget any of this ever happened. But, you felt gross, it was late enough in the morning that you could run into someone you knew, and you missed the water pressure here.
As you got ready for your shower you surveyed your options. You refused to smell like him, but the only other bottle in the shower was doggy shampoo. Surely dog’s fur and human hair weren’t so different right? Jade did have a beautiful coat, very soft and shiny… You reprimanded yourself for the ridiculous idea, but the point remained, there had to be something else for you to use.
Your brain, far more alert than it was 30 minutes ago, thought of all the things he hadn’t changed, all the fixtures still in place. You had always kept an extra set of all your supplies under the sink. By the grace of all that is good on this cruel cruel earth, they were there, in all their dusty glory, your prized hygiene products sat unmoved under the sink. It would have been sick and twisted to have to leave your ex-boyfriend’s apartment smelling exactly like him, left to spend the rest of the day agonizing over whether you should take another shower.
As you entered the shower you wondered more. He had to have noticed the softness in your eyes, the faint smile you wore just having an ounce of his attention again, the way ti widened at every caring gesture, and falling with every biting remark.
Yes, it hurt every day missing him. Yes, it would hurt if he hated you. But none of that compared to the feeling of not knowing. What were you supposed to do with all these residual feelings that have yet to go away? Were they worth the suffocation or should you strip them away?
You were proud of yourself, all these reminders of what you once had, in a place you once loved, and you had yet to break down, not even shedding a tear. If you weren’t wrapping yourself in a towel, you would’ve given yourself a pat on the back. This victory was short lived, everyone’s strength has its limits and you had taken yours too far past it already. But then you saw it, something you were completely unprepared for.
Laid neatly on top the closed laundry basket was THE outfit. It was nothing special to anyone else, just a grey sweater and loose joggers, but how many days had you spent alone breathing in his scent for comfort while he was gone? How many hard days at work had you reaching for these exact pieces as if they were the cure to all your problems?
Unable to support your own weight anymore, you fell to the tiled floor, tears spilling out, as your already sore throat grew even more hoarse – you felt like everything was collapsing around you. You weren’t expecting to see him, and you certainly weren’t expecting to need him in so many little ways. It was easy to forget how easily he weaves himself into your life, encroaching on everything you do.
The world disappeared behind each shallow breath, and an endless stream of tears you couldn’t control. Your fingers scratch against your forearms repeatedly, trying to ground yourself in some reality you could no longer grasp. It is so exhausting trying to be over him, going through these cycles of strong emotions, over and over and over again.
Suddenly, for the second time in as few hours, you felt an overwhelming weight encompass your body.
Of course, his stupid fucking perfect dog would still know how to bring you out of a panic attack like he had spent so much time training when you started dating. You clutched to Jade as your breathing slowed, but it did nothing to stop your sobs, if anything it was just another painful reminder of everything you let go.
“Uhhh….” Megumi was frozen at the door, for the first time today he didn’t know what to do. His indifferent façade dropped as he observed the scene on his bathroom floor.
There’s nothing left to lose, not for a moment that he has seen this morning have you possessed more than an ounce of dignity, “So that’s it? You don’t know what to do either? You know it’s been a whole fucking year and I still haven’t figured out how to live without you. A whole year and I’m still a mess. I can’t survive being reminded of us, look at me. And yet every attempt to get over you was a knife twisting because they’ll never be you. Now I’m here and I get to witness the wonderful Megumi Fushiguro, unaffected, and you… you have it all together.” You trail off, giving to him everything left in you.
You weren’t expecting the confused and indignant expression on his face, “You think this is having it together?” His voice lightly raising with each word “This place might as well be a sealed shrine to you and our relationship. I haven’t thrown a single thing out, moved any furniture, bought anything new – the only thing that’s ‘new’ is your stupid tea I keep buying even though I hate it, and for fucks sake y/n I should’ve moved out. Every part of me that looks like I have it together is just my version of a mess.” He brushes a stray strand out of your face, his own face moving far too close for this to be purely platonic anymore “y/n I’m no better off than you are, I’ve just kept everyone from looking”.
“So what are we supposed to do with all this?” Your eyes shining, naïve hope seeping through your defenses at the confirmation that he couldn’t live without you either.
“We could try again” Somehow, it wasn’t quite what you needed to hear. “I, am going to get dressed, and then we’ll talk, I’ll meet you in the kitchen.” He nodded lightly, pulling himself up and exiting with Jade on his heels.
Dressed in the clothes you thought would burn your skin to even touch let alone wear, you let out a long sigh as you sit on at the breakfast nook. “Look, Megumi, I need to know if you’ve worked through it, any of it? I can’t, I can’t wait another three years for you to tell me you can’t say the words I love you, that you can’t commit to more than a yearly rental, I can’t just have you here I need more security than that”
He pursed his lips, unsure of what he could say to that, how he could make sure you didn’t leave again.
“Megumi, I don’t need you to say it to me today, I don’t need you to commit to anything today, but I have to know you’ve tried that I can’t keep waiting for you”
“I… Just give me a minute, please” his voice weak pleading with you. You waited, knowing better than to rush him, laying a hand on top of his assuring him you weren’t going to run out the door.
“y/n, I’m supposed to be honest and vulnerable, I’m supposed to tell myself that people won’t abandon me just because I give them access to who I really am. I want to tell you I love you, because there’s no other explanation for feeling this way. For feeling like your eyes outshine the stars, that your mind is more brilliant than the sun. I’ve tortured myself for a year with the idea of you meeting someone who could give you everything I couldn’t, and selfishly I prayed they were awful, I wished you were miserable so I pretend the truth wasn’t real that I was not enough for you, that I couldn’t give you what you needed. I’ve never seen a loving relationship, certainly not for long enough to form memories, but I look at you and I can’t imagine anything else”
Your thumb reaches to brush away the stray tear sliding down his face as he spoke to you. Manoeuvring yourself around to be on the same side of the nook as him, you pull him into you, letting him bury his head into the crook of your neck. You placed a gentle kiss into his hair before whispered into his ear “You were always enough, I just needed you to know it too.”

I'm the anon who requested language kink, it's wonderful, thankyou (*^ω^*) Can I request a fluff that involves Victuuri and Makkachin please? Thankyou so much ♡♡♡
AAAA SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG, LOVELY ANON!!! Thank you!!! I hope you like this one too!! I’m sorry if it’s short…
There were days when everythingseemed so hard.
Even the simplest things. Keepingup with his routine, talking to people, getting out of bed.
There were days when nothing madesense.
Food had no taste, sheets weren’tsoft and gold medals didn’t shine. And, no matter how much he slept, he wouldstill feel tired.
There were days that didn’t evenfeel like days.
Not when he never opened thecurtains, not when he didn’t have proper meals, and not when he stayed tangledwithin his bedsheets for hours and hours. The clock was just numbers, and itstic toc just a nuisance.
There were days, that were simplybad days.
Anxiety was deaf. It wouldn’tlisten when Minako congratulated his dancing, it would ignore the clapping ofthe entire rink when he landed a quadruple, and Viktor’s compliments about howlovely he looked that day would simply go into one ear and leave through theother.
Deaf, but not mute.
Anxiety would scream, scream rightinto his brain. It would remark every single detail, every mistake, everysingle tumble as he skated and every single stutter of his lips. Anxiety wouldremember, and would always be willing to use its eloquence against him.
Sometimes, Anxiety wouldconcentrate its every complain into a single day. It wouldn’t let himconcentrate, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t bring himself tothink about anything else.
Thankfully, ever since he moved inwith Viktor, those days weren’t as frequent. But every now and then, afterreading some mean comments on social media, or some small argument with a lovedone, Yuuri would find himself imprisoned by his bedsheets again.
“What happens, baby?”Viktor would rub his back, frustrated, unable to get him to look at him in theeye “Yuuri? Love? Do you need anything?”
“Stop treating me like achild” The concern in his voice felt pitiful, humiliating, and it remindedhim just how sorry he felt for himself “I can take care of myself”
“You hadn’t eatentoday…”
“I know” he didn’t wantto be rude, he knew Viktor was just being kind. But that made it even worse.
He didn’t deserve that kindness.
“Yuuri, there’s a lovely dayoutside! You can’t stay in bed all day!” Viktor insisted, pulling from thesheets “Some fresh air will make you feel better!”
“I don’t want to feelbetter” Yuuri insisted, curling into a ball.
“You want to stay here allday? Feeling sorry for yourself??”
It was hard to explain, it was hardto tell someone outside from his own misery bubble just how scary it sounded toleave. How comforting grief could be, how lulling. How sometimes, he knew hewasn’t ready to face the world outside. He just needed to stay for a littlewhile. Stay, and accept his sadness.
“I just…I need to bealone” he mumbled onto the pillow, hugging it close “I want to stayout from the world for now”
“Out from the world?”
“Yeah…”
Viktor grimaced, not knowing whatelse to say against that, and left the room to his fiancé’s will.
Yuuri flinched at the sound of thedoor closing. He hadn’t thought it would sound so grim.
It was better that way, though. Itwas better for Viktor to stay away when he was in that state. He felt gross,filthy, and his Vitya was so white and so pure and so easy to ruin. He didn’twant that. He didn’t want him to feel sorry for him, he didn’t want him topamper him. He wanted…he didn’t know what he wanted. But Viktor deservedbetter than taking care of an overly emotional basket case, and he didn’t wantto drag him down.
No five minutes had gone by when hefelt the door being pushed open, and just when he was about to tell Viktor togo away, he felt a new weight jumping onto the bed and the sound of a ragged,restless breath by his feet. Makkachin licked his face, pressing his paws ontohis chest and rolling him over, giving him no room to escape the hairy assault.
Yet, Yuuri was in no mood tocomplain. He just hugged the dog close against his torso, digging his nose intothe curly fur just like he used to do with Vicchan when he was younger. Andjust when he was about to get comfortable, he felt something weird pressingagainst his face.
He narrowed his eyes, trying to seethrough the dark, and noticed Makkachin was wearing the glittery collar theyhad bought at a fair some months ago. Which was weird, since Viktor didn’t likehis dog using collars, he didn’t even wear a lash to walk him. But before hecould even find a reason to the collar, he saw there was a folded piece ofpaper attached to it, sunk on the heavy fur.
Yuuri reached for his phone on thenightstand and used the shine of the screen to read it. As he did, he outlinedhis first smile of the day:
“Theworld misses you already”
He chewed on his lip, his lip thathad betrayed him, that had made him grin when in reality he didn’t feel likegrinning. He was sad, really sad, and he knew from experience that he would besad for a long while.
But, maybe, he didn’t have to besad alone.
He stood up, feeling heavy,dragging his feet all the way to the living room, only to find his fiancésitting on the couch, knees pressed against his chest and a sour look on hisface. A sour look, that suddenly turned so sweet as he saw Yuuri come in.
Without saying a word, Yuuri satdown and rested his head on his shoulder, sighing contently when he feltViktor’s hands wrapping around him, warmer than bed sheets, pulling him close.
“It’s ok if you are sad”He felt the vibration of his voice on his chest, and felt the press of softlips on top of his messy hair “We can be sad together, if you want”
Yuuri hummed, rubbing his faceagainst the coziness of his embrace, wanting to melt onto it, disintegratebetween his arms.
“I was wrong” hemurmured, closing his eyes, inhaling deeply “I don’t want to be away fromthe world”
“You don’t?”
“You are my world, Vitya. AndI never want to be apart from you”
Viktor felt his chest burning,overwhelmed with utter adoration, as he let his body fall onto the softcushions of the couch and he dragged Yuuri with him, cuddling against him,hugging him close.
Makkachin didn’t want to stay outof the lovely moment, apparently, and he jumped on top of them, bringing out alaugh from them both. Yuuri shifted his body so that the dog could join thehug, and took the hand that wasn’t hugging Viktor to pet the brown fur.
Yes, there was a nice day outside.Yes, he was wasting the sun by staying there, locked in his apartment. Yes, hewas tired and lazy and feeling like shit. And yes, he was still having a badday.
But just like that, tangled in aball of limbs and fur, just how bad could a bad day be?
