Karl knew he dated the right man, when Sapnap walked in with a puppy today.

It was raining outside, a pretty bad storm and Sapnap was drenched when he walked inside.

Karl had quickly handed him a towel, but instead of getting himself dry, Sapnap opened his jacket and wrapped the little puppy he had brought with him in it.

"I found the little guy on the side of the alleyway. He was alone and scared and I couldn't leave him", Sapnap said, carefully rubbing his little friend dry and Karls heart melted, "I thought we could take him in? Maybe? He doesn't have a collar, so he probably belongs to no family or anything. Maybe we can be his family"

"Yes, absolutely we will be", Karl said quickly, smiled, "We'll take him to the vet tomorrow"

He petted the dogs head and weirdly enough the puppy reminded him of Sapnap.

It was a boxer, with brown fur and a few white spots and he looked a little nervous.

"He reminds me of you, love, when we had our first meet up", Karl said and Sapnap smiled. "Yeah?" "Yes, I don't know the dog fits the owner I guess"

"I always wanted a dog", Sapnap said and Karl saw the joy in his eyes, "I'm glad you said we could keep him."

He scratched the dog behind the ears, something their new friend took full liking in.

"He's cute, just like you. And I can't say no to you being happy", Karl said, kissing his cheek, "I love you"

"I love you too, Karl. A whole lot", Sapnap replied, gently pulling Karl into a short kiss.

On the same day Sapnap went to the store, came back with five different colored collars, two leashes, dog food, treats, a bolster and two plushies.

"Where do we wanna put his bed?", was the first question, when he came through the door. He was clearly excited.

Karl, who had gotten the trust of their puppy, was cuddling with him on the couch, giggling when he saw his boyfriend.

"I would put it somewhere down stairs, cause were only down stairs anyway, except for sleeping and streaming.", Karl suggested, but Sapnap was kinda frozen, looking at him and puppy with a fond smile.

"You're so cute", he said, putting down everything, before he went over kissing Karl gently.

The puppy suddenly licked over Sapnaps cheek, interrupting their kiss.

"Buddy, don't do that", Sapnap chuckled, scratching him behind his ears.

"You called him buddy?", Karl asked, holding in a laugh, "That's like the most overused dog name"

"What do you wanna call him then?"

"I don't know, like Oscar or Steve", Karl said and Sapnap laughed. "Oscar or Steve?", he asked, "So either our dog is gonna be named after an award show or after minecrafts most known character"

"I think those are good odds", Karl said and they both laughed.

"What do you think? What name do you want?", Sapnap asked the dog, who just looked at him pretty happy, wagging his tail, "I think so too. Yeah, Karl he wants to be called Buddy"

Karl chuckled. "How about we write down the names on paper and let him decide?"

"Fine, I'll get the paper, can you give him food? It's in one of the bags", Sapnap replied and Karl nodded. "Yeah, sure"

While their dog ate they wrote the names down, placing them on the floor.

Sapnap carried the puppy to a spot right in front of them and pointed at the papers.

In a baby voice he said: "Come on, pick your name, buddy"

A bit confused the dog turned to him and jumped up on him instead, barking.

"I'm not a name", he pointed to the papers again, "Pick one"

He turned the puppy back around to face the papers and quickly he walked towards them, sniffing on all three, before he stopped at one of them.

"Yes!", Sapnap exclaimed picked up his new friend cheering, "You know that Buddy is a good name, don't you, Buddy"

He petted Buddy with a wide smile and Karl looked at him with a mix of amusement and love. Buddy barked and licked Sapnaps face, tail wagging excitedly.

"See Karl, he knows a great name when he sees one", Sapnap said and giggled, "Yeah, you're such a good dog, aren't you Buddy?"

"You're so cute, I'm not even mad", Karl said, with a chuckle, before he placed a kiss on Sapnaps head.

Sapnap looked at him and said: "I'm really lucky to have you. I love you" "I love you too"
