Summary: You take the stray dogs home and clean them up. Then you search around, hoping to find the rightful owners. But what happens the next day changes EVERYTHING.
You opened the door to your apartment. Ben walked in, tail wagging happily, as if he owned the place, Matt was more anxious and cautiously walked in. You looked down and Kylo was staring into your apartment, he didnt go in though. You kneeled down beside him and he looked at you.
He looked at you from the corner of his eye and huffed. Then he turned around and sat in front of your doorway. You assumed he meant he was going to stay and guard your apartment, the thought of it made you giggle so you pat his head and stood up.
"You can guard the fortress from inside, goofball." You joked. Kylo growled a little bit and got up, walked into your apartment and sat by the doorway. You followed him in and closed the door behind you, making sure he saw you lock it. You walked pass Ben who sat on the couch while Matt was walking around your apartment, trying to make a mental map.
"You boys stay out here for a sec. I'll be right back." You said as you walked into your bedroom. After the door closed, Ben rolled onto his back on your couch, getting snug.
"I could get used to this."
Matt stood by the couch, looking around once more.
"Don't. We wont be dogs forever. Someday, somehow, we will figure out how to change back."
Matt and Ben looked over to Kylo, who had been quiet up until now.
"Oh really? Because the way i see it, you're her favorite so far."
Ben was trying to make Kylo blush but being a dog, he couldn't tell if it worked. But kylo did feel a bit embarrassed by it.
You came out of your room in some comfy pajamas and smiled at the dogs as you walked into the kitchen.
"How about some dinner? You guys look like you're starving." Ben and Matt walked into the kitchen excitedly, kylo of course staying by the door. Ben and Matt pulled chairs out from your dining table and jumped up and sat in them. You didn't think much of it, assuming it was a trick their previous owner had taught them, either way you thought it was both cute and amazing. You made a big dinner, you didn't eat much but made sure you had plenty for the dogs to eat. Kylo eventually got hungry and came over to eat, luckily you thought ahead and made him a plate. After eating, you gave each dog a bath. Ben tried pulling you into the water with him but other than that they were all well-behaved. Matt seemed to appreciate it the most and surprisingly, Kylo didn't fight it.
You were drying off Kylo when you had a sudden realization.
"Oh, you guys probably have an owner, or owners. Tomorrow I'll take you guys into work and see if you have chips or if anyone has reported missing dogs. But until we find your owners, you can stay with me." Kylo listened attentively and seemed to nod in agreement with your plan.
It wasn't too late at night so you and the 3 dogs congregated in your living room to watch movies. Halfway through one, there was a knock at your door. Kylo stood quickly and rushed over to the door but didnt bark, the other 2 couldn't care less.
"Wonder who that could be. Nobody ever visits me this late...or ever." You got up and walked over to the door, patting Kylo's head when you reached him. You unlocked it and opened it slowly, peering out into the hall.
"Did you fill out the proper paperwork to have dogs?"
It was your neighbor, Armitage Hux. He was a ginger haired, obnoxious, by the book kind of guy but seemed like decent enough person that you didn't see him as any sort of threat. You rolled your eyes and chuckled as you opened the door more.
"Well hello to you too, Armitage."
"(Y/n), you know I'm deathly allergic to dogs, right?"
You laughed a bit and Hux blushed as he folded his arms. You looked at him and shook your head.
"No you're not, you just don't like them."
"Same thing. And three of them? Are you that lonely?"
You stopped laughing and kind of glared at his comment which he of course noticed, he tensed under your gaze.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Why have 3 dogs when you can have 1 boyfriend? Come on, (Y/n). It's one date. Some dinner, a movie, you name it."
He kind of whined when he said it and you huffed.
"Hux, i told you, I'm not the type to have a boyfriend. Anyway, i gotta head to bed soon. Goodnight."
You closed the door and heard Hux sigh as he walked away. You looked at the three dogs who were all staring at you, looking as if they were waiting for an explanation.
"That's my neighbor. He's been trying to get me to go out with him since the day i moved in."
You walked over and sat on the couch. Kylo stayed by the door just in case, Ben was quick to jump to your side and Matt sat in the recliner that you had. You smiled at all the dogs.
"Who needs human boys when i have the cutest doggy boys?" You gently grabbed Ben's cheeks and mushed them and rubbed noses with him.
Ben got into your lap and licked your face, making you laugh. Eventually, you had to go to bed. And of course, Ben came to sleep in bed with you. Matt was hesitant but followed as well and laid at the foot of your bed. However, Kylo stayed awake, patrolling around your living room but eventually fell asleep on the couch.
The next morning came and you put all 3 of the dogs on the leashes you kept at home for situations like this. You walked all 3 down the sidewalk and they were calm and made walking to the clinic a breeze . You reached the vet clinic and you walked in. The boys looked around the lobby and you felt comfortable letting them off their leashes. Matt stayed with you while Ben sniffed around and Kylo followed behind you.
"Hello? Anybody home?" You joked.
Poe poked his head out from the back and saw you. He rushed out to greet you and but halted when he saw the dogs.
"Um...(Y/n), what's going on?"
You blushed and awkwardly scratched your hand, still in bandages.
"You remember the dogs i was telling you about?"
Poe became tense and looked at the 3 dogs before his eyes landed on Kylo.
"And i'm gonna guess that's the one that bit you."
You kneeled down by Kylo, who didn't care for Poe's unapproving look.
"Yes, but he also protected me from some guy who was gonna rob me .... and possibly rape me. So you really should be thanking him."
Poe rolled his eyes and pulled you away a bit.
"(Y/n), what are they doing here? And what are YOU doing here. You know the boss said you aren't supposed to come back until you for sure dont have rabies!"
You chuckled and Poe gave you a confused look.
"I'm actually here as a client."
"Can you check them for chips and see if anyone has reported 3 missing dogs?"
Poe rolled his eyes and took your hand in his gently.
"I'll do it for you, sweetheart. No charge. But promise me you will take care of yourself and this hand."
You nodded and looked to the 3 dogs, who had all grouped in front of you and Poe.
"Okay, boys. Go with Poe and he'll take good care of you."
"You talk to them like they're people? Geez, (Y/n), you are something else." Poe teased. You laughed and sat down. The boys followed Poe obediently and after about and hour and a half, they all came out with treats in their mouths. You looked at Poe, hoping he'd have addresses to their homes.
"Nothing. No owners, no shot records, nothing. These dogs only have names on their tags, (Y/n). That's a little strange, don't you think?"
You did find it strange but you questioned Poe further.
"What about missing dog reports?"
Poe shook his head. You found that really strange.
"Maybe someone was trying to get rid of them."
"Why would anyone want to get rid of these sweet boys."
Poe looked at Kylo who glared in response.
"I can think of a few reasons."
You stood, a bit peeved by Poe's comment.
"I'm taking them home. Thanks for everything, Poe."
You sincerely meant thanks but were a bit mad that Poe only seemed to recall Kylo biting you.
Poe told you to be careful and you leashed up the dogs and walked out of the clinic.
You looked around and it was a pretty decent day and you decided to take the boys out for some fun on the town. You smiled at the dogs and they all looked at you with confused looks.
You had arrived at the nearest dog park and let the 3 off of their leashes, but to your surprise, they didn't seem interested at all. You kneeled down by them.
"What's wrong, guys? It's a dog park. Don't you wanna go play with the other doggies?"
The 3 dogs all looked at each other and then you before they split up and walked around the park. You chuckled and got up to go sit on a bench. Kylo saw you go sit down and went over to join you, jumping onto the bench to sit next to you. You pet him and watched as Matt was frightened by everything around him and Ben was playing tug of war with some boxer dog. You looked at Kylo, he had also been looking out at the other dogs.
"Kylo, don't you wanna go make some friends?"
He only huffed and you laughed at him. He did a sort of bark grumble and it made you think, what was he saying? You looked back to the other 2 dogs.
"I wish i understood you, Kylo."
Kylo's ears perked up and he looked at you. You noticed and smiled at him, petting his head just behind ear.
"You guys always seem to know what I'm saying. It's so cute. I just want to be able to understand what all of you are saying, too."
You laughed at the thought of the dogs talking when suddenly Matt rushed up, whimpering, which brought you from your thoughts and you saw him being followed by a few other dogs. When Matt reached you and hid behind your legs under the bench, and Kylo jumped off the bench in front of you. The dogs following Matt stopped dead in their tracks when they made eye contact with Kylo, and ran off with their legs between their tails. You sat on the grass in front of the bench and coaxed Matt out of hiding. He lunged into your arms and you hugged him tightly. You looked over to Kylo and smiled, reaching out to pet him.
"Youre such a good boy, Kylo."
Kylo leaned into your touch more, wanting more affection, which you happily gave. You decided it was time to take the boys home.
When you reached your apartment, you heard some meowing from the other side of the hall. You looked over your shoulder to see Hux's cat, Millicent. You smiled and unlocked the door to your apartment, opening it to let the dogs in, Millicent took the opportunity to follow them in. This was a common occurrence when Hux was in a rush to get to work, and is actually how you met your neighbor in the first place.
You put down the box that you were unpacking, and went to your door. It was open and you peered out into the hall. A sharp dressed, red-haired man was frantically searching the halls. You watched for a moment but suddenly felt something brush against your leg, you looked down to see an orange cat looking up at you as it leaned against your leg.
"Is this who you're looking for?"
The man turned around and when he made eye contact with you, he felt his face become heated as his breath was being taken away. He swears he had just seen an angel, and in this angel's arms was his beloved cat. He calmly rushed over to you and you handed Millicent over.
"Thank you so much. I was in such a rush to leave for work, she must've snuck out while i wasnt looking. Um, i take it you're the new tennant."
You nodded and pet Millicent as your new neighbor held her.
"Yup, as of today. I work at the clinic and this was the closest place with available apartments."
The man offered you a hand while holding his furbaby with the other.
"My name is Armitage Hux. I live across the hall."
"I'm (Y/n). Nice to meet you."
You picked Millicent up in your arms and pulled out your phone. It went to voicemail.
"Hey Armitage, it's (Y/n). Millicent got out again so I'm gonna hold onto her until you get back. Bye."
You put your phone back in your pocket and shut the door with your foot after entering, kissing and petting the purring cat.
You set her down and walked into the kitchen. Millicent followed you and the 3 dogs all watched and inspected the cat.
You smiled at them and pet Millicent again, showing them that she was friendly. You glanced at the dogs again, they still didn't know how to react to the cat. Maybe their previous owners didn't have cats. You thought more about the dogs' previous owners and how cruel it was that someone might want to get rid of these 3 sweethearts, but you also thought that maybe there was someone out there who was worried about them. You took a few pictures of each dog and made a post on your social media pages, showing the dogs and stating that you had found them and would hold onto them until the rightful owners came to get them. You hoped they would be able to return home soon and be with their families.
You spent the rest of the day at home, cleaning up and waiting for someone to call and ask about the dogs but nobody did. The afternoon seemed to sneak up on you and Hux came to retrieve his pet. You locked up for the night and went to bed, the dogs doing just as they did the night before.
It was 3 A.M. and the phone rang. You jolted awake, waking and scaring the dogs. You grabbed your phone and checked it, but the number was unfamiliar, and you answered anyway.
"The brothers must learn their lessons before they can return to their true forms."
The voice was that of an old woman. You looked at the dogs, confused, and they returned the looks.
"I think you have the wrong number, m'am."
Just as you were about to hang up, the voice spoke again.
"(Y/n)! You must listen. You are the only one who can help them!"
This made you more anxious but you listened.
"The brothers are beast, in the mind and in appearance. You must help them fix the mistakes they have made."
"Lady, i don't know the brothers you are talking about." You tried to explain.
"They will know. They will tell you."
"What the hell? I must be dreaming."
You pet the dogs and told them it was nothing and you all went back to bed. But that night, you had a strange dream.
3 tall boys were laughing and talking with you but you had never seen them before. 2 of them had long, shaggy, black hair and one had blonde hair and glasses, but they all had similar faces. You felt so safe being with these boys you didn't recognize. It was sunny and warm where you all were. You smiled, enjoying the company of such sweet boys.
You woke up suddenly. You felt your eyes flutter open and slowly all your senses woke up too.
"I'm just saying, if we lived in a town like this, we'd all be getting laid. There are so many hot women in more populated areas."
You sat up quickly, panic already setting in. You looked around your room. The dogs were missing and there were strangers in your home. You quietly got out of bed and snuck to the door, peering out into the living room.
"I wonder when she's gonna be up. I'm getting kinda hungry."
You looked out but didn't see anyone, this was starting to really freak you out. Where were the dogs? Suddenly you saw Matt jump onto the recliner.
"Be patient. She was nice enough to let us stay here and cook for us out of the kindness of her heart, she's not our nanny."
Your jaw dropped. It WAS the dogs.
You covered your mouth immediately. The dogs looked at you and you quickly backed into your room, slamming the door shut and locking it.
