Cyrus has been begging you to get a pet… desperately. “It gets so lonely by myself when you’re out…” “I’ll take good care of it…” “You can help me name it…”. He makes various offers and reasons to convince you to let him get one. Since you two share the same dorm, he needs your permission… You had replied the same every time. “Maybe”.

You are on your way back to your dormitory after a particularly exhausting lecture. As you gradually approach the door of your dorm, you hear a strange, unusual sound through the walls. Barking? No. You’re probably just hearing things due to your exhaustion. You rattle your keys in the lock of the door and open it. The first thing you see is Cyrus on the couch, watching a movie with a timid grin on his face and- Wait, is that a dog in his lap?!

“Surprise?”

He mumbles reluctantly, slightly nervous to see how you will react.
