He laughs again at the light punch. Kyler really did feel bad that Kit barked and growled at Julian as much as she did. Hazel hues may have held a small amount of pity as the other pouted again. ❝ I’m sure you’ll grow on her… eventually. I mean, if she didn’t like you at least a little she probably wouldn’t let you come near me. ❞ The words were more for comfort than anything else. He couldn’t be positive the words would prove true. He was well aware of how much the son of Hades loved animals only for them to dislike him.
❝ I care if you get in trouble. I don’t want you in trouble over me, gods Julian. ❞ But he was grinning. The prospect of running off with the elder didn’t seem so bad, though he didn’t really want to give his grandparents that sort of shock. ❝ Oh ? What’d you two do while I was gone, then ? I feel like Nana was probably thrilled when you showed up just for the dog. ❞ He pressed a little kiss to Julian’s nose before pulling him as close as he could. ❝ I missed you too. So we can stay like this as long as you want to. ❞
‘ The eventually didn’t need to be added...!’ His pout grew a little, though he felt somewhat reassured by the other’s words, even if they were just a comfort, he chose to believe them as truth. He’d always wanted a dog growing up, but every time him and his mother went to the shelter to adopt one, they’d either cower in fear of him and bark and growl. It was quite the disappointment for the young demigod. So now he was hoping with this opportunity he’d be able to get Kit to ( eventually ) like him.
Julian scoffed at Kyler’s next words, quirking a brow as a smirk curls his lips. ‘ Didn’t you know Kyler ? I’m Julian, I’m the bad kid, I always get in trouble one way or another.’ Despite getting really good grades and keeping to himself most of the time, trouble just seemed to follow him. Or more accurately, people that wanted to make trouble for him. ‘ We.. um, I dunno, hung out. Went for.. walks.. and other things.. you do with dogs ?’ His eyes squeezed shut in anticipation when the younger’s face was suddenly coming closer to his own, though when he blinked them open he was left with slight disappointment at having being kissed not where he’d been expecting to be. ‘ Good.. I wanna stay.. for a long time..’
