Part I
It had been a few weeks, and I hadnât seen Pete since. I enjoyed it but every time Iâd go out, a part of me would hope that Iâd see a little Dachshund running towards me and Pete zipping up to me to catch it.
Lately I hadnât been feeling too good and decided to take to the day off.
During most of the morning and now, I spent it walking around and relishing in the surprisingly sunny day. My head was fuzzy and my nose was runny, but I knew that getting fresh air wasnât going to kill me.
Stopping by my house as I lapped around my neighborhood, I grabbed a basket and decided that Iâd pick some flowers to brighten up my house. Seeing the same cream coloured wallpaper made my house look glum, so maybe by adding some bright flowers, it would help perk up my mood.
Walking over to an orchard, I talked to the owner for a bit before paying and entering. This farm always smelt so sweet and lovely, like apples and lilacs.
I made my way to a bush of hydrangeaâs. Plucking a few, I brought them up to my nose, breathing in the sugary scent before gently laying them in my basket.
Next, I moved to a bush of Rose of Sharon. I picked off a few branches and placed them in my basket as well. Iâd read about them in a few books and even a play so when I found out they grew them here, I just about died. Smiling to myself I pranced over to a camellia scrub, touching the petals delicately.
Grabbing a few, I moved onto the next patch of flowers. I glided over to a rose bush, watching carefully for the thorns when I cut them from the shrub.
Finally coming across a lilac bush, I reached for a couple branched when barking pulled me out of my flower induced trance. I looked down to see a dog I knew Iâd seen before.
âIf youâre here then that must mean-â
âIf it isnâ (Y/N), the vet assistantâ A somewhat deep voice cooed from behind me. I spun on my heel, only to come face-to-face, almost quite literally, with none other than Pete. My heart raced and I stumbled back a bit making him chuckle at my flustered state.
âP-pete! Um, how are you?â I stutter out. He leans back and crosses his arms across his chest, grinning down at me deviously.
âIâve been fine, jusâ got back âere for a few days. Got no shows for a bit.â He explains. I nod and crouch down, patting his dogâs head. The canine yips happily and licks my hand. Peteâs eyes bore into my head as I played with his dog; I could feel the tension.
âI seeâ I whisper. Looking back at Pete, I give him a warm smile. âWell, I must be off, canât let these flowers die in my basketâ I joke awkwardly. He raises a brow and nods his head slowly. Inwardly cringing at myself, I stand up all to quickly.
My head starts to spin worse and I start to cripple. Peteâs arm catches me and he wraps his other arm around my waist for support.
âYou ok? Do you need to see a doctor?â He asks worriedly. Grinning I pull away slowly, and shake my already sore head.
âNo, no! Iâm fine really!â I took a few steps away and then everything went black.
â
A dark abyss was all I saw before high pitched yipping woke me up. Groaning, I pull my hand to my head and felt how hot it is. I hear shushing from farther away and I can only assume Iâm in a house. Cracking open my eyes I get blinded instantly by the hanging light on the ceiling. I feel a cool hand grab mine from my forehead, holding it daintily.
âHey love, how ya feelinâ?â
Judging by the voice I could tell it was Pete, and once my eyes adjusted it only confirmed that assumption.
âPete?â I croaked. He cracked a small smile. âWhere am I?â He looks away, obviously embarrassed.
âWe uh, weâre at your houseâ He pointed out. I sat up and realized I was laid on my couch. It was a bit unnerving to know that he coincidentally knew where I lived. It didnât help my unease with my head was spinning still from my episode earlier.
âMy house? But how did we get here?â I questioned tiredly, taking note of the fuzzy blanket delicately draped across me. He rolled his eyes and smirked.
âI carried ya.â A blush made its way to my cheeks, though, Iâm sure Pete wouldnât be able to tell considering Iâm almost positive I have a fever. Glaring at the man holding my hand, I looked around seeing his Dachshund standing on its hind legs, using its front ones to hold it up to stare at me with its adorable eyes.
âWhy are we at my house then?â He looked bewildered that I even asked that. How is it the slightest bit unreasonable to wonder why the man that Iâve only known for a few weeks carried my unconscious body to my house? Standing, he walked over to my dinning room and pulled up a chair next to the couch, in front of me, sitting down the wooden seat.
âWell, you were pickinâ your flowers, I saw you anâ came up to ya, we talked, then you insisted on leavinâ.â I stared at him and waited for him to continue. He gave me a confused look. âYou really donât remember whaâ happened?â I shook my head slowly. He chuckled lightly. âWell I guess you stood up too fast anâ made yourself dizzy, ya passed out not even two seconds laterâ He mused. Averting my eyes, I looked down at our joined hands.
âOh.â Was all I could manage to say. I felt him shift in his chair.
âI ran into the littlâ old lady that lives next to ya. She was suspicious of me at first, which I find a bit rude to assume thaâ because Iâm a big scary man, thaâ Iâd take advantage of a sleepinâ woman-â
âPete!â I cut him off, making him stop his rambling. He jumped slightly at my sudden scream. My eyes bore into his and he looked a bit like a deer caught in the headlights.
âShe told me you lived âere so I climbed into your window witâ you in my arms, then laid you down here.â I had to admit, it sounded rather impressive to pull off. His thumb twitched against my knuckle and my eyes darted down at the gentle contact. His callused fingers leaving a tingle against my skin.
His eyes followed mine and he quickly pulled away.
âSorry âbout thaââŠâ He grumbled uncomfortably. We sat there in silence for a bit before he stood and rubbed the back of his neck. âI uh, made ya some soup!â He announced. He strode over to my kitchen and brought back a huge bowl of soup.
âYou didnât have to do that-â
âI wanted to. I figured it mighâ helpâ He said with a stoic face. To think that this brute of a man could care so much for someone whom heâd only met little over a month ago, was mindboggling. He handed me the bowl then gave an awkward smile. âItâs a bit hot.â
I picked the spoon up and brought it to my lips, lightly blowing on it so I donât spray it all over Pete and I. He awkwardly stood in front of me, his arms crossed protectively and his eyes wide and expecting. Curious, I raised a brow and leaned my head away from the metal utensil.
âIs something wrong?â I asked. He blushed slightly and dropped down onto the chair, looking a lot like a child being scolded.
âNo, no. I jusâ. I jusâ wanâ to make sure thaâ it tastes alright anâ thaâ it isnât too hot to eat or thaâ I somehow manage to give ya food poisoninâ.â
âItâs soup.â I state with amusement. He looks at me like Iâm crazy.
âI know thaâ! Iâm jusâ sayinâ!â He angrily mutters. I roll my eyes and take a sip of the liquid food on my spoon, thankfully itâs just warm and tastes surprisingly delicious. Smiling, I set the bowl down on my lap.
âItâs very good, Peteâ I say nicely. He almost looks shocked which worries me slightly.
âReally? He questions. I look down at his dog then back at him and laugh. âWhaâ?â
I had to admit that this was the cutest thing Iâd ever seen in my life: Peter Englund, a bulking man with a natural snarl that could frighten death no doubt, had the same confused cute puppy dog look his Dachshund had on.
â
After my soup was finished, Pete making me drink every drop, I decided that I would head to bed. I sat up, moving to put the bowl in the sink but Pete stopped me, pushing my shoulders down so I was seated again. My mouth fell agape and he glared at me while yanking the bowl from my hands.
âB-but I was-â
âSittinâ on the couch anâ waitinâ for me to come clean up like a good girl.â He growled as he disappeared into my kitchen area. I heard water run for a few minutes then silence. He huffed heavily then the sound of the bowl clanking echoed in the small space.
âIâm not a dog you know!â I bite back, annoyed. His head poked around the corner, a dominating sneer across his face.
âThen howâs abouâ ya be a good human girl anâ sit tighâ for a sec?â He hissed.
Slinking into the couch, I glared daggers at him as he walked back into the living room, looking down at the ground as he scratched the stubble on his chin. His eyes flickered up to meet mine, making my face go bright red in an instant, forcing me to turn away. He shuffled closer and before I know it heâs leaning over me with his arms around my waist.
âWha-what are you doing?!â I ask nervously. He leans down and chuckles in my ear, his hot breath causing goosebumps to prickle on my arms.
âJust hold tighââ He coos lowly.
Next thing I know he hoists me up and runs one of his hands down my waist to my hips, then across my thighs to under my knees. The intimacy of the physical contact leaves me beyond flustered and a part of me thinks he knows that heâs making me react to this, and is enjoying it.
He turns and walks past my kitchen to my hallway, stopping just before the doors.
âWhich one is your room?â He grumbles. I shakily point to the door at the very end in the middle. He snorts lightly and trudges onward. Within the few moments I was being carried across my first floor, I could feel the heat radiating off his chest, along with his calm heart beat. It was soothing and terrifying at the same time. I lean on his shoulder and found my eye lids shutting on their own, I must be more tired than I thought.
A warm hand shook my shoulder carefully, and I opened my eyes slowly to see Peteâs smirking face a few centimetres from mine. I shriek and leap away from him. Thankfully Pete was sitting on the edge of the bed so I landed on my pillows. He chuckled and stared at me from the side of my bed.
âYouâre pretty cute when youâre sleepinâ ya know?â He muses. I stare at him with wide doe eyes and pull my kneeâs up to my chest. He leans forward and grabs my hand, gently bringing it to his pink lips before placing a soft kiss on the back of my hand.
âSleep well, loveâ And with that he left, closing my bedroom door behind him.
â
Pete had decided that heâd drop in every day for the past few months, always insisting on saying hello and staying for lunch or breakfast before leaving. It was a bit weird considering I knew about his career and I could only assume heâd be travelling a lot but I guess he was taking a break for some reason? Maybe he had an injury that he wasnât telling me about.
None the less, weâd become quick friends, a hint of a little more than that even, though Iâd never admit that to him.
I woke to a soft bark and rolled over, opening my eyes to see the top of a small brown head. Giggling, I leaned over the side, staring back at big chocolate brown eyes looking up at me. I picked the dog up and yawned, getting out of bed and carrying him to the living room.
I almost screamed when I saw Pete asleep on my couch, one arm dangling off the side and his head turned to the side with a peaceful look. For some reason, the fact that Peteâs dog was here, and that perhaps he could also be here as a result didnât click in my head. Carefully, I placed the Dachshund on the ground and it instantly ran towards the sleeping Englishman on my couch. It licked his hung hand and made him stir. I strode over quickly and picked it up again.
âShh cutie, youâll wake him.â I cooed into the dogâs ear. It whined and I smiled as I carried it to my backyard. âYou probably have to go pee.â
It frolicked happily around my grass, itâs tongue hanging out and a cute look on its face. How could such an adorable innocent pouch like this end up with a grumpy man like Pete? I must have been too zoned out to realize that Pete had opened my back door and stood next to me. He leaned over while I watched his dog and cupped my chin, placing a quick peck on my cheek. I jumped a few feet and glared at him.
âWhat the hell, Pete?!â I yelped. He chuckled and crossed his arms like he always did.
âJusâ beinâ friendly, loveâ Rolling my eyes, I kept my glare sharp as I stood a little way away from him.
âWhy do you keep doing that?â
âDoinâ whaâ, love?â
âTHAT, doing THAT!â I shouted. He gives me a puzzled look and turns towards me.
âLove?â
âYes that!â He smirks and stands in front of me, looking down at me with a cocky scorn. The fact that he was comfortable enough to keep a closeness to me, concerned me a bit.
âItâs a sayinâ us English peoplâ use. Donât read too much into it.â He teased. I snorted and shoved his chest lightly.
âYouâre an ass you know that?â He brought his hand up to the spot on his chest where Iâd pushed him and gave me a cheeky grin.
âWell thaâs rude loveâ
âDonât read too much into itâ I said in an almost sultry voice. His eyes widened and he looked a little surprised by my tone. I froze, realizing my mistake. Lucky for me, Peteâs dog ran in-between us and took off into the house. I hastily followed and hoped to avoid all eye contact with Pete ever again. God, I make myself cringe. Big, warm hands grabbed my waist and I was gently pulled back into a hard chest.
âWhere do you think youâre goinâ, love?â He whispers huskily in my ear. My body quivers and my head started to spin.
âIâm taking the dog out on a walk!â I announce loudly and manage to wriggle out of his grip. I heard him groan then chuckle as he watched me scramble around for where heâd put his dogâs leash. I could hear from behind me that he was pulling something out of his pocket then, a soft jingle of metal rang in my ears. I spun around and saw him holding the leash and collar. Huffing dramatically, I marched up, yanked both items out of his hands, while glaring at his smug face.
âThaâs my dog you knowâ He jokes. I fake laugh and call his dog over.
âThatâs niceâ I mumble crankily.
â
My patience chipped away with every second that passed.
Pete was annoying, menacing, rude, and arrogant, but no matter how much I insulted him, he wouldnât leave me alone. Every step I took, the toe of his shoe would skim my heel. A pleasant reminder that he was shadowing closely behind me. I could practically feel his breath on the crown of my head, each heavy sigh sending a shiver down me.
âDo you have to stand so close?!â I snap, turning my head to send a sharp glare at the man behind me. He smirked and kept his hands in his pockets.
âItâs either this or I walk beside yaâ He teased. I rolled my eyes and dreaded every moment I spent with this man suddenly. âMaybe we could pretend weâre dating and hold handsâ He cooed teasingly.
My nostrils flared with anger. To think that when we first met, I found him charming.
âThaâs awfully kind of you tâ say, love.â
I wanted to die.
No way in hell did I just say that out loud.
âWhat will it take for you to leave me alone?â
I'm so sorry it took me so long to reply. Maybe one for Sid where the reader is Jim Gordon's daughter and he finds out the reader likes Sid but he's not happy because he's the bounty hunter that's supposed to hunt the monsters but Harvey bullock is with you and him when him finds out and Harvey's just teasing him about the fact that his daughter likes one of the "Monsters"? Sorry if I didn't explain that well.đâ€
No no it's fine! I love it! I'll get right on it for you dearie!

A/N: I have a serious hate for Pete Dunne but yet... I have fanfic ideas for him, so let me know what you think!
Domesticated animals have become an anchor. We rely on them for comfort, for love, for companionship. To become a vet, a lot of school and a lot of money have to be invested. Instead, becoming an assistant was the next best thing.
Working with animals was a joy I found always peeked my interest, however, working with the people on the other end of the leash, was not.
To think that I could do the thing I loved most and get paid for it? Dreams no longer seemed liked an unachievable hope.
But then, compared to the men and women who had trained and learned to run their own practice, I have pennies to my name.
And while scrubs arenât the most fashionable of things, they are comfortable. Though some of my own are often ruined, the amount of excrement produced by the daily train of animal is a downer.
I love my team, everyoneâs positive and nice. Functional is not a word I would use to describe them though. We only engage in small talk, limiting my chances of having workplace friends.
Doing this job made me realize my potential in this medical field. I get a glimpse at something I could be, something that the world would always need. Itâs a touching thing to find when you see the diverse levels of love people have for their animals, and the lengths at which theyâll go to keep their best friends beside them.
â
Six years after chasing after my career, I ended up here. In Birmingham, England.
In the early mornings, such as this one, I walk around my neighbourhood, enjoying the crisp cool air. The sky was a rosy pink, just shying along the horizon line. The sun wasnât yet in view, and a few stars still hung in the early sky.
A few cars whisked by now and again, early birds getting to work and running errands. I bid âGood Morning!â at strangers that wandered past, earning either a grunt, smile or âGood Morningâ back.
It was silent, save for a few birds chirping and cars and such.
A small brown Dachshund came scampering up to me, placing a puppy paw on my work shoe. I couldnât help but let a grin creep onto my face as I leaned down to gently rub its head, cooing at its cuteness. It had a collar, but wasnât attached to a leash. My brow raised in confusion.
âWhere is your owner cutie?â I tut. It peers up at me with itâs loveable big eyes and licks my hand with its small tongue. A bulky, average height man comes barrelling up to me, face flushed with embarrassment.
âSorry âbout that. Littlâ bugger managed to get off its leashâŠâ He grumbled. His hand shot up to run through his dirty blond locks, tugging lightly on the hairs. Cracking a shy smile, I stood picking up the puppy slowly. He watched with wide eyes as I held the dog in my arms, rubbing its ears with affection. I realized the awkwardness Iâd created by not replying to the man.
âItâs alright. It did no harm. This little cutie made me swoon.â
He chuckled and rubbed his jaw with his thumb, looking down at the canine.
âYeah, I hear that a lot when Iâm out with âem.â
The Dachshund yipped and squirmed in my arms, making me pout. It was obvious it wanted to go back to its master.
ââm supposed to be takinâ âem to the vet, but the adventurous tyke musta figured it out and decided it didnât wanna go!â He huffed, moving closer to me to glare at the dog. He leaned down and got at eye level with the pooch. Once he was within breathing distance I felt my heart beat skip. He was an attractive man, Iâll give him that.
He mustâve felt my awkwardness as his eyes trailed up to meet mine. I felt my body freeze, the only movement being that I handed the dog back to him. I spun on my heel and started to walk away, not before catching a flash of a smirk on his face.
âPete.â
My head turned and my wide eyes met his confident ones again.
âMâ name is Peter. Peter England. Though, Iâd prefer if ya called me Pete.â He said, in an almost taunting way. It didnât help that my face wasnât getting any less flushed.
âItâs nice to meet you.â Huffing, I smoothed out my work pants and strode on. He took a few heavy steps towards me.
âArenât ya gonna tell me your name?â A chill ran up my spine, the cool air brushing my neck lightly. I considered telling him, but then I thought-
Let the mystery linger.
â
Arriving only a few minutes late, I took off my coat and headed to my shared office. There was only two people in the waiting area, meaning it might be a slow day. Our secretary stood tiredly at the printer, resting her hand gingerly on her forehead. Her eyes shot up as she noticed me stride past, giving me a quick smile before staring gravely at the machine in front of her. One of the vets strolled past, catching me in the corner of his eyes and giving me a smile.
âMorninââ He chirped quickly. The corners of my mouth creaked upward, and I gave a curt nod.
âMorninââ I mirrored back. He bowed his head awkwardly and shuffled on. Sighing, I ducked into a checkup room, pulling out my laptop, getting ready for my appointments. I prepped the equipment and opened my door so I could hear the secretary tell me when someone showed up. People usually went through me, and if it was serious enough, Iâd hand them off to a vet.
The front doors of the building opened, the little bell jingling lightly. The hard clunk of boots making their way up to the desk told me it was someone who was a bit more laid back than most. I could practically visualize the forced smile on the secretaryâs face.
âHello sir, how may I help you today?â She asked cheerily. I leaned back in my chair and listened for the response.
âYa uh, âm here for an appointment.â A familiar voice droned dully. I groaned, praying to god that I didnât end up with him. âPleaseâ, I thought. âPlease god, let him be seeing someone else. Iâve already had one awkward encounter with him todayâŠâ
âOh, well, Iâll need your name so I can direct you to the person youâve scheduled your appointment with.â The clerk replied, the exhaustion evident in her tone.
âPeter England.â Running my fingers down my cheeks, I hoped that Iâd be pitied and heâd be sent off to some other than myself. Iâd only just met the man a few hours prior and I didnât want such an early run-in to happen again so soon. I nearly jumped as secretary drummed her fingers against the keyboard, obviously checking for his name. She hummed pleasantly as she found it.
âAh, here it is. One âPeter Englandâ. Iâll pass you over to (Y/N) (L/N), she will be helping you out today and will inform you on whatâs to be done and anything you need help understanding.â I inwardly groaned, again, and felt my lips press firmly together before letting out a frustrated huff.
âLovelyâ I breathed crossly. A few seconds later the secretaryâs head poked into my doorway as she leaned on the hinge.
âI have your first appointment ready.â Sighing again, I wave passively at her.
âOk, thank you. Send him in.â I grumbled. She chuckled and slinked back to her desk.
âSheâs just right in that room over there, sheâs all ready to go.â
As the boot steps came closer, my fingers drummed faster against my countertop. My island was faced toward the door but I couldnât bring myself to look anywhere but my shoes. The thumping stopped at the door and I could hear an excited yipping. Managing to gather enough courage, I looked up through my lashes at Pete. His dog was tucking securely in his arms, surprisingly happy to see me.
âWell, well, wellâ Pete cooed teasingly. I bit the inside of my cheek as I saw a cocky smirk make its way to his face. âWe meet again, (Y/N).â
âMr. Peter, how wonderful to see you again.â I drawled, trying my best to resist screaming from the discomfort of this situation. He raised a brow and strode over, taking a seat at the chair across from me. The Dachshund puppy barked quietly and reached its paws up to the countertop. Pete scowled and lightly removed his paws.
âRude littlâ pupâ He growled. My eyes traveled from Peteâs to the dogs as soon as he looked up to meet my stare. Pulling the laptop in front of me, I kept my eyes glued to the screen, hoping not to lock eye contact with the Englishman in front of me yet again.
âLetâs see what youâre here for, shall we?â I ask, more so to the dog than to Pete. My scrolling became nerve racking as I could feel Peteâs eyes on me. He made me extremely nervous, and I couldnât explain why. Just his presence left such a dominating air, and his piercing eyes were like a bearâs.
Gentle yips continued as the dog somehow managed to hop its way onto the table. I smiled and pat its head as it plopped down next to my laptop. Pete glared at the dog and leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms across his broad chest.
âIt seems to be a check up. Making sure it has all its shots and routinely things like thatâ I confirmed. Pete turned his look towards me and nodded. A lump appeared in my throat and all I could do is nod back and duck behind my computer again. I reached over to my printer, grabbing the dogâs medical history that I had faxed over last night.
âEverything looks good. Iâll just check his temperature and gums and youâll be offâ I said merrily. Pete grinned and tilted his head from side to side, cracking his neck menacingly.
âBy all means, doctorâ He snickered. I snorted and stood from my chair, grabbing the thermometer from the counter. Pete watched and gave me a surprised look when I stood next to him.
âIâm going to need you to help me hold your dog. It might be more comfortable if you hold âem while I do thisâ I explained. He smirked and nodded, pulling the dog closer to him, holding his small frame. He stood and while he wasnât huge beside me, he still towered over my short stature. The closeness was nerve racking, his breaths sounding almost like a slumbering beast. He leaned in close, his chin just hovering over my shoulder.
âWhatever you sayâ He blows.
The Dachshund didnât even seem phased as I ran all the routinely tests, its tail wagged and it stared at Pete with big doe eyes throughout the entire process. Pete placed it on the floor and it ran around happily on the pads of its paws.
âEverything is perfect!â I say with relief. Pete flashes a kind smile and rubs the stubble on his chin.
âThaâs goodâŠâ He mumbles. We stood in awkward silence for a few moments, just staring into each othersâ eyes.
The puppers pawed at my feet and I instinctively looked down at it. Pete trudged over and scooped it up, cradling it in his muscular arm.
âWell, thanksâŠI guessâ He stuck out his free hand and offered a knowing simper. Hesitantly, I took it and felt a blush creep up my neck to my apple cheeks. Without processing it at first, he pulled my hand up to his lips and delicately pressed his pink lips to my knuckle, nibbling on it slightly.
âNo problemâŠâ I breathed quietly.
And that was it, he left me in a state of flustered heat. I swear I was about to have a heart attack. If he keeps this up, heâll be the death of me.
