                     Holly confused Casimir. Honestly, he didn’t know how they worked as well as they did when they were from such different times. But he loved her - well, as much as he could - and he loved being with her. “I’m not reminiscing…” He stared at her for a moment, “I’m just stating facts.” He didn’t understand why Holly wanted some small animal running around. There were too many things to do and so many untrained hybrids… They couldn’t bring some untrained animal into that dynamic. Katia would never allow it. “I know people who have done that.” He paused, frowning slightly, “Knew. I knew people who have done that.”

                    Their relationship wasn’t conventional and Holly knew it. She’d agreed to immortality, agreed to drinking blood to survive, all for a guy she’d fallen for. It seemed so pathetic, so simple, but she didn’t regret it. So far, regret hadn’t crossed her mind for even a second. “Whatever you say,” she assured him, patting his cheek with a grin on her lips. The only frustrating thing about being with Cas was that he was so logical. So far trying to win argument was not working out in her favour. Holly was about to continue arguing for the sake of a pet, but the way he said “knew” made her pause. “Is it hard?” she asked, looking up at him with curious eyes. “Watching the people you love die when you... don’t?”

                    “It’s not sad, love,” Cas turned his face to intercept her kiss before pulling back, “It’s just… realistic back then.” Cas had been from a different time than Holly, and things definitely differentiated throughout time. He had modernized - mostly - and he was trying his hardest… But he still remembered how things used to be. “It’d be easier to take care of than a dog or a cat.”

                    “Well, reality sounds kinda sad,” Holly shrugged, grinning as Cas kissed her. “Am I gonna be all old like you, reminiscing about how things used to be in like a hundred years?” she asked, her voice teasing. Holly put her phone in her pocket, giving up on the idea of show Cas cute puppies. For now. She’d crack him eventually. “Part of the appeal of pets is that they aren’t humans. Don’t you think it’d be weird if I started cuddling with one of our friends every time they turned into a wolf?”

evanfarro:

                    Casimir shrugged as Holly questioned him, “Not really. Before Katia saved me, animals weren’t… entertainment. They were survival. You see a cute cuddly puppy, I see a weak wolf that would barely feed a family of four.” It wasn’t like Casimir hadn’t modernized at all, because he had. He had modernized a lot. There were just some things he didn’t understand. Pets and puppies were just a few of those things. “Why do we need an animal?” Cas asked, “Jesus, if you want an animal around I’ll compel someone to shift for you.”

                      “That has to be like, the saddest thing I’ve ever heard,” Holly sighed, leaning up to kiss him on the cheek. Holly was well aware that wanting a pet was probably strange, being a supernatural creature herself. But growing up surrounded by friends who had pets made her want one, weird or not. Cas was like a really hot grandpa and she wanted a pet. They all had their quirks. “Oh my god no, please don’t compel someone to be my pet,” Holly laughed at the idea, shaking her head. “But thanks for the offer. I think that was supposed to be sweet.”

                    Cas had grown up in a time when pets weren’t really a thing. Animals had been food for the pack and that was it. Now his current girlfriend in 2016 believed they should have a small thing running around yipping and yapping and biting at their ankles. “You’re little and cuddly and love me. And you don’t pee on the floor.” He looked at the picture of the dog and then looked up at her, “Not particularly, no.”

                      “So you’ve never had a pet? Like, ever?” she asked, an eyebrow raised. If she lived for a few hundred years, was she going to become an old grump like her boyfriend who couldn’t keep up with the youths? “I’m not that tiny!” Holly protested, even though she knew that wasn’t actually the point. Damn Cas and his penchant for logic. “What about a cat?” she suggested hopefully, an eyebrow raised. “They don’t pee on the floor! Or are all cats domesticated werepanthers or something?”

evanfarro:

                    Casimir raised an eyebrow as Holly showed him pictures of dogs on her phone. He didn’t understand the concept. They were part werewolf, and they had all been werewolves at one point. Why was Holly so obsessed with the idea of having one as a pet? He stared at her with no enthusiasm, “How can you want one?” He asked, “They’re just small domestic werewolves. I can find you a werewolf at that commune if you want one so badly.”

                      Holly had never met someone so confused with the concept of a pet dog, but that was what she got for falling for someone that had been around for centuries. Cas was just lucky that he was charming as hell. “It’s not a domestic werewolf!” Holly tried to explain for what felt like the hundredth time. “It’s a puppy. It’s no part human, 100% dog. They’re little and cuddly and love you! And these ones need homes!” She pulled up another picture on her phone, showing the husky to Cas. “Don’t you just want to cuddle it?”

“ He wasn’t cute. His eyes were too small for his face. “ Kai says in defense. Maybe he was being too picky but this whole dating though the internet was strange to him. After getting bombarded with pictures of penises on some other site, Kai wasn’t sure this was his thing. He did appreciate Natalia trying to help him get out there, though. He’d spent so many centuries hiding who he was, he was still getting comfortable with being gay. “ He looked weird. “

                      “His eyes were too small, that’s the best you’ve got?” Nat asked with her eyebrows raised, shaking her head at Kai’s ridiculously high standards. “You’ve gotta lower your standards sometimes to be happy. I’m into a guy who plays Dungeons & Dragons, whatever the hell that is. You could be happy with a guy with small eyes,” she pointed out, but shrugged her shoulders and turned to the next guy on the screen. “Okay, what about him? You can’t have anything bad to say about him.”

                      “Look at how cute this one is!” Holly exclaimed, showing Cas a picture of a puppy on her phone. “Or this one!” she added as she scrolled to another picture, getting even more excited. Apparently it was weird to want a puppy when you were a hybrid, but Holly didn’t see it. She draped her legs across her boyfriend’s lap and cuddled up close to him, resting her head on his shoulder. “How can you not want a puppy?”

[nataliadenisov]

“Kai, no!” Natalia chastised, slapping his hand. “How many times do I have to tell you? You swipe right when you see a cute guy, not left!” She’d explained the concept of Tinder more times than she could count, and she was almost convinced that Kai was openly defying her by this point. Perhaps she kept up with technology better than most who had been around for centuries, but it couldn’t be that hard to grasp. “You can’t tell me you didn’t think that guy was smoking hot.”
