SUNFLOWER.

i need to know where i can GO when you're not around; when i'm feeling down. so won't you STAY, for a moment? so i can say: "i need you so, right now you know that nothing is new; and i'm obsessed with YOU." then i F E L L to the ground, and she smiled at me and S A I D ;

“have you seen a textbook around here?’ she’s not frantic, just simply worried. this had been the exact place she’d left it an hour or so previously. “i paid a hundred bucks for it, i can’t by ‘nother one. it says psychology in practice on it. weird, smiling kids on the cover.”

-- “A TEXTBOOK?” jude raised an eyebrow, looking around the vicinity for a moment before he lifted up a few of his own books momentarily to see if he had accidentally mixed it up with his own. he lowered the lid of his laptop for a moment, exclaiming as he spotted the book in question. “is this it?” he lifted it up, showing her the cover. tira stood up from where she laid at his feet to sniff it, and he smiled sheepishly. “----don’t worry, she’s friendly.”

“did you know alexander hamilton had the first american sex scandal? even back then, politicians were a mess of trouble.” he shook his head, glancing back down to his phone as he waited in line for his coffee. “i’m sure that bit of information will help you get through the day.” 

-- “DID HE REALLY?” jude raised his eyebrows, genuinely interested in the information -- his accent probably gave away why it wasn’t common knowledge for him. he tugged lightly on tira’s leash to make her sit ( silently thanking the heavens that the coffee shop was dog-friendly ). “---i don’t know much about american history, but i’ve seen a shitty bootleg of the musical. he was ---- err --- the first secretary of state, right?”

“so here’s a pop quiz. you find a flash drive. one of these, right?” he pulls a lanyard out from under his shirt, dangling it and the plastic drive attached to the end out in front of him. “don’t know who’s it is or where it came from. do you a - just plug it into your own laptop, without scanning it or anything? or b -do you leave it the fuck alone? because if your answer is a, i have a cautionary tale for you.”

-- “WELL, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU,” jude furrowed his eyebrows, tugging gently on the leash in his hand to get tira to sit. she was getting quite good at that -- it seemed like she knew exactly what she wanted him to do without him having to say it. “i’d probably just throw it out. is that awful? i feel like that might be awful. come to think of it, i’d regret throwing it out and then probably fish it out of the trash to put it in my computer to see what was on it. so, long story short ---- i’d choose a, with a bit of an existential crisis beforehand.”

“Is it bad to want to go and find her old owners, to tell them that they are legit the worst people on the planet? She just needs some love, and look at that little face, who wouldn’t love her?” She finished, her tone a little happier than how she’d started. Kneeling in front of the dog, she couldn’t keep the smile from her face as she scratched the side of it’s neck. Glancing up as he spoke, she gave a half-hearted shrug. “I know of them. I’m sure they wouldn’t mind, she’s the cutest dog ever! And if you tell them how you found her… They’d have to let her stay. Chef sounds pretty fun though, especially if you have a rat that lives in your hat.”

-- “NO, BECAUSE THAT’S THE FIRST THING I DID,” jude mentioned with a laugh. it was true -- he and his friend had immediately tried to get a hold of the old owners, not to ask if they wanted their dog back, but simply to tell them that they weren’t getting their dog back and that they should be ashamed. ( probably a little less polite than that, but technicalities weren’t important. ) “i hope they don’t mind. truly, i think i might be in love with her.” he smiled warmly, deciding to crouch down so the girl wouldn’t have to look at up at him when she spoke. “a rat that lives ----- oh, are you talking about that bloody pixar movie? ratatouille, or whatever?” he laughed, rolling his eyes and then rubbing them under his glasses. “----that movie set an awful stigma for chefs everywhere. a rat in my kitchen would be horrible, let alone under my hat!”

“is it too early to be thinking about halloween?” it’s barely september, mckinley, calm down. fingers lightly tap her keyboard as her search on pinterest turns into a page full of different costume ideas for noah ( the real reason she was thinking so hard about this already ). “i mean..they already have christmas stuff at walmart. it can’t be that bad.”

-- “NO, OF COURSE NOT,” jude shrugged as he returned to their table with two cups of coffee, setting one down in front of kinley and cradling the other between his palms as he sat down in his seat. “----but then again, i’m thinking about easter next year right about now, so i’m probably not the best person to ask.” he leaned back in his seat, adjusting his glasses on his nose. “why? are you looking at costumes?”

max had been in the kitchen debating back and forth on whether she should get a snack or not when she heard the sound of jude’s voice. she quickly spun around and was shocked bu what she saw. “oh my gosh,” she spoke with a quiet squeal. “she is absolutely beautiful!” she hesitated for just a moment before crossing over to jude and the dog. “hi baby girl,” she cooed as she bent down to pet the dog. she held her hand out for the dog before scratching underneath her chin. “i love her already.” 

-- JUDE WAS TAKEN SLIGHTLY ABACK by max’s immediate reaction. if he was honest, he wasn’t expecting her to be so excited about it -- but maybe on his walk home while he was working himself up about how to present the idea of having a dog to the rivera family, he’d lost touch with how kindhearted maxine was as a person. he smiled, almost in a relieved sort of way, looking down at the dog as she eagerly accepted the attention. “you like her? really?” he grinned hopefully, leaning down to give her a gentle pat on the head. “i was, uh ------ i was thinking about keeping her. if, you know --- if that’s alright with you lot. it’s your house, not mine.”

“that is honestly very odd — but you know what? this dog is so stinkin’ cute!” jackie exclaimed before kneeling down to pet the dog. “adorable! i can’t believe someone would just leave her in an empty apartment. that’s terrible.” a sigh escaped her before getting up again. “there’s so many name options for dogs — do you know what direction you’ll want to go in? i can help you think of something!”

-- “I KNOW!” jude grinned in delight, his eyes following the brunette as she knelt down to pet the dog -- he followed suit, crouching down to scratch behind her ears. “it’s awful, really ---- she’s the sweetest dog, too, so it’s not like they left her because she was aggressive.” he sighed, smiling fondly at the dog as she seemed to listen to their conversation. “i want to name her after a food ---- i’m a chef, you know.”

wangparker·:

“ who the fuck would leave a cutie like this behind? i can’t imagine someone wanting a dog and then treating them like shit by abandoning them. ” parker seethed. she then crounched down to pet the dog and rub her chin. parker was way too passionate about animals and this just made her feel sad for the dog. how could the last owner possibly know that someone would move in so soon and save her? “ i volunteer at the shelter and i could ask around to see if someone could foster her for the time being – that’s if you can’t keep her. ”

-- “I KNOW! it only makes me wonder why on earth they had her in the first place. she didn’t have a collar -- she was just tied up with a rope and chain.” jude sighed, his eyebrows furrowing at the uncomfortable idea of what the dog’s life might have looked like if he hadn’t found her. “oh, really? that’d be INCREDIBLE -- i’m going to see if i’m able to keep her, but if i can’t, i’ll give you a call. parker, right?”

  crouching to get to the same level as the dog, poppy’s freshly painted red finger nails ruffled the back of the dogs ears as she smiled widely. “my day is better just because I have had the pleasure of meeting this dog” she exclaimed, her eyes wide with content. “people are actually awful, I’d love to meet the people that did that and clench my little fist and hit them hard in the jaw- you know… deal with it in a civil way” 

-- “OH, ABSOLUTELY. the most civil way possible,” jude agreed with a knowing grin, chuckling a bit. he wasn’t a violent person, not by a longshot, but he was pretty sure anybody who couldn’t be arsed to have even the slightest bit of sympathy for a dog deserved what was coming to him. “i was thinking of naming her tiramisu, tira for short. what do you think?”

[judasmoody]

mckvnley·:

with the way jude is speaking, kinley isn’t exactly sure where he’s going with this..the dog on the leash is enough to keep her questions at bay in the back of her mind, hand reaching down towards it’s snout for it to smell. “i can, actually,’ and the various facebook posts from pages she follows are the first to fill her mind ; it’s not a unique situation for a pet to be in but that doesn’t make it less heartbreaking. a hand moves to scratch behind the animals ears.“pretty cute. what breed, do you know?”

-- JUDAS SMILED IN DELIGHT when kinley reached down to interact with his new companion, who, in turn, sniffed at her hand and gave her knuckles a gracious lick. jude cooed in reaction, more than elated that she was so friendly -- he couldn’t say the same for the three yorkshire terriers he’d grown up with. “all they want is to love and be loved and us humans have to go and ---- oh, excuse my french ---- fuck it up for them.” the profanity was a few notches quieter in volume, his eyes shifting around to make sure no children were in the vicinity. “i’d say she’s some pitbull mix -- she’s beautiful, isn’t she? i’ve always wanted one. england isn’t so kind to these kinds of dogs, it’s a shame.”

Admittedly, running up to someone who had a dog might have been a little strange, but she couldn’t care less as long as she got to see a cute dog. It seemed like the best cure to any bad day. Hearing the story of how he happened to get the dog however, quickly got rid of the rush of seeing the dog. “They just… Left her? But look at her cute little face, how could someone leave her behind?” It may have been unreasonable to get mad over it, but she was certain any reasonable person, would dislike anyone who left an animal behind, especially chained up. “Why wouldn’t you be able to keep her? Oh wait, do you have one of those evil landlords who don’t allow pets? They’re the worst.” 

-- “THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I SAID! can you believe that? she was just tied up there in the bathroom. she looked like she was waiting -- she got so excited when she saw us.” he smiled fondly down at the dog, who was looking expectantly up at the girl who had approached them, ready for pets. at the mention of an evil landlord, jude laughed awkwardly, glancing up at the sky for a moment as he thought over his living situation. “no, not quite,” he grinned in amusement at the thought of mr. rivera being an evil landlord. “----i live with the riveras, do you know them? i work as their chef. i’m ---- not sure how they’d feel about having a dog.”

[judasmoody]

-- “TODAY’S BEEN ---- SO ODD,” jude let out a warm laugh as his eyes stayed locked on the dog at the end of the leash in his hand. “----i was helping a friend of mine move into their new place, and she was just... there, in the apartment. chained up. can you believe that?” he looked back up, shaking his head with a sigh. “the last owner just ---- left her there. my friend tried to call them, but... no luck.” he looked back down at the dog, reaching down to give her a gentle scratch behind the ear. “you’re welcome to pet her, she’s awfully friendly. i don’t know if i’ll be able to keep her, but... if i can, i’ve got to pick a name. ------- either way, ISN’T SHE THE CUTEST?”
