"Sounds good to me!" Larkin grinned brightly up at Samul, his sharp teeth shining. "What kinda meat?"
"Sounds good to me!" Larkin grinned brightly up at Samul, his sharp teeth shining. "What kinda meat?"
"Well, bacon for sure," Samul said, thinking. "Chicken for sure, and either pork or beef."
Larkin nodded eagerly, sprawling out on Samul's lap. "Sounds great! Are we heading out now?"
"Mhm," Samul confirmed, moving to kiss Larkin's head. "Are you ready?"
Larkin nodded again and hopped up from Samul's lap, hurrying over to the door to wait for him.
Samul smiled some at Larkin's newfound energy, standing to grab his keys and wallet before walking over to the door. He opened it, stepping out and heading for the car.
Larkin trotted over to the car ahead of Samul, getting into the passenger side with a happy hum.
Samul held back a laugh, climbing into his seat and starting the car.
"Love you, dear," he said, smiling and kissing Larkin's cheek.
"Love you too!" Larkin happily returned the kiss and buckled himself in. "Now c'mon! Let's go!"
Samul did laugh at that, but he nodded as he started the car and backed out of the driveway.
Larkin watched out the window excitedly as they drove along, humming happily. "Are we almost there?"
"Yes, dear, we're almost there." Samul glanced over, making sure Larkin had his ears and tail tucked away as he pulled into the parking lot of a small, locally-owned meat shop.
Larkin grinned brightly and hopped out of the car, running up to the door with Samul in tow. "Let's go, Samul! C'mon!"
Samul smiled as he was led along, stepping up to open the door for Larkin.
"Okay, okay dear!"
Larkin headed inside and put his hands on the glass, grinning as he examined all the meat in the case.
The butcher came out, smiling some as he wiped his hands.
"Hello, boys!" He greeted, seeing Larkin and Samul.
"Hey, Jeb!" Samul said, smiling some.
"Hello, sir!" Larkin smiled brightly up at the man. "We're back for some meat!"
The man behind the counter, Jebadiah, nodded, smiling back with a laugh.
"And what meat would you two like today?" He was already reaching for the bacon, seeing as they ordered it every time they came.
"Mmm… what all did you say we were getting, Samul?" Larkin asked, tearing his eyes away from the meat for a moment to look up at his boyfriend.
"Other than the bacon, we'd like some chicken breasts, and…" Samul trailed off, thinking a moment. "Pork chops."
Larkin nodded eagerly, grinning up at the butcher. "How much are we getting, Samul?" He asked.
"Five pounds of the chicken and six of the pork chops," Samul said, already reaching for his card. As usual, this was going to be a large chunk of money out of their savings, but it would last them for a week or two.
Larkin hummed happily and headed over to take Samul's hand, trying his best to keep still so his tail wagging wouldn't be visible.
Samul gave Larkin's hand a gentle squeeze as Jeb got their order, weighing it out.
"That'll be… one hundred and ten dollars," he said. He took Samul's credit card as it was offered, packing up the meat for them.
Larkin held a bit tighter to Samul's hand, humming nervously. He always hated that they had to spend so much money on him every month, but there wasn't much that could be done about it, and Samul always insisted.
