Who: Alec and Navi
What: Getting a Pet
When: Tonight
Where: Various Places
Warnings: Extreme cuteness? Maybe more

Knowing that Navi had picked out the perfect pet for the two of them really came at no surprise. She had that quality about her, something that didn't have a name, but definitely existed. With one look, or just a smile, sbe could completely change a situation. If there was real darkness in the world, then she was the light, the brightest there had ever been. She just made everything feel perfect. That was her magic. And it could be applied to picking out pets. She had a brilliant mind, of course, but more than that she just knew. After looking at the picture, Alec was sure she was right, and now he was looking forward to coming home even more than usual, which was quite a bit.

Home. That's right. They lived together now, everything was settled into the apartment that they shared, and it had instantly became the home he imagined it always would be. Going to sleep with her in his arms, waking up to the sight of her, it was like a dream come true. A dream he enver realized he had, but a dream nonetheless, and things couldn't get better. He'd just finished up some lessons at the gym and was in the process of cleaning up. A quick shower, just enough to rinse the sweat off, and a change into clean clothing. He was saying bye to everyone as he was jogging across the mats and making his way to the door. No time to spare, as far as he was concerned. His trusty means of transporation, the bike, was waiting for him outside. He'd already figured out a short cut to getting home, it happened when you went back and forth every day, and it wasn't any time before he was parking at the apartment complex.

The stairs all the way up to their aparment were even't a hastle anymore, especially when he was in such a good mood, he took them two at a time with a smile on his lips. She was already home, so he left his keys in his pockets and stepped inside, not being able to help but grin that much more. "Baby? Not hiding, are you?" Oh, she loved that, didn't she? One time he'd come home and she had almost scared him to death. Of course the way she giggled afterwards, he couldn't help but laugh.

Without Alec, Navi wouldn't sleep as well, laugh as much, or have a pet to love. She wouldn't have a human to love, and for that, she owed him a lot.

She grinned as she flew up the stairs, and moved inside, flopping down on the floor with Turbo to watch Alec put the cage together. She took one of the books from Alec's arms as he passed, and nodded. "Okay. Childproof locks, bought those." She went to her room to put the plastic things on the cabinets. They didn't have any foam, or rocking chairs, or anything that folded out, so she ticked it off of her list.

Navi went to kiss Alec as she proceeded to doublecheck that there were no holes in the air conditioning or heating that the ferret could crawl into. Upon deeming the apartment clear, she scattered a few toys around from their shopping bags and let Turbo out.

If there was anyone that was going to be able to make sure that the apartment was ferret proof, at least as far as the animal getting into things he shouldn't, it was going to be Navi. She learned things really quick, especially when she read them, and he knew that she was always thorough. He grinned a little when she took one of the book's she'd bought and started to do the research he knew she would.

Assembling the cage was fairly easy, it was big, of course, but that didn't make it hard. He pieced it all together, sliding things into place, making sure that the door would latch shut. Of course he wasn't done yet. He set up the food and water dishes, filling both of them up, an then put the hammock in what he thought would be a good position. There were multi-colored tubes and other things inside that should keep Turbo interested. Not to mention some bedding on the bottom.

He tilted his head and kissed her back softly. By the time that he had finished, she had already scattered toys around on the floor and let Turbo out of the carrier cage. He grinned and sat down on the floor near her. "He should be happy. He has a palace, as far as ferret housing goes."

Navi grinned as Turbo scrambled headfirst into a crinkly purple ball and batted it around like a ferret possessed. "Well, he also has us to snuggle onto. I know you're comfy." To illustrate, Navi sat down on Alec''s lap, letting her hair out of its ponytail and relaxing.

"We just have to be careful whenever we open or close stuff now. I got all the little places he could go, but now we just have to make sure he's not in our clothes when we put them in the laundry, or that he's not in the washer or whatnot. Stuff like that."

They were various toys for Turbo scattered across their living room, a large selection of what they'd bought at the pet shop earlier, and he laughed a little when the ferret pounced the purple ball, knocking it around at will. "True. And I know how much he's going to love it when you hold him." He wrapped one arm around Navi when she sat on his lap, pulling her in close, smirking a little when she let her hair down.

"I know. Make sure he doesn't crawl under the fridge...everything. We'll be careful, won't let anything happen to him." He kissed her neck softly before he stretched his foot out to push one of the stuffed mice towards Turbo, watching the ferret spin around to look at it.

She couldn't help laughing at Turbo freaking out about the mice, moving and putting Alec's arms around her hips. She kissed his neck, beaming. "He seems so happy," she murmured, referring both to Turbo as well as Alec.

Navi poked Turbo in the rear with a toe, giggling when he eepd and pounced on her toes, mock attacking them. "This is... I don't know how I could be happier."

Alec willingly slid his arms around her hips when she shifted slightly, bright smile still on his lips, eyes watching their new pet. "Hard not to be happy when you're around." Turbo was pouncing on the stuffed mouse which was an amusing sight, to say the least.

He pulled her a little closer when her toes were being attacked, laughing a little to himself. "I don't know if it's possible to be happier than this."

	Navi kissed his neck before giggling and trying to get her feet away from Turbo. "I don't know either. This is perfect, you - ack! Alec, tickles!" She flailed and fell off Alec's lap, laughing. "Alec, save me!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He'd been watching the little ferret attack her feet, jumping back and forth on his hind legs before pouncing, making a quick retreat, and then repeating. He could feel her squirming on his lap as she tried to get her feet away before she finally fell off and onto the floor. He grinned a little and started to sit up.

"Save you, huh? I guess I can rescue my girlfriend." He arched an eyebrow before moving towards Turbo, sliding his hands back and forth on the carpet to get the animals attention. Of course when Turbo pounced, he gathered the ferret up in his arms, smiling even more.

Navi didn't move from the floor, just rolled over and looked at Alec and their pet. She realized that in that moment, she was completely happy. One hundred percent at peace with everything. To be in love and to be loved at the same time was the most perfect thing she'd ever felt.

"Thank you," she grinned. "That was a very daring rescue." She reached out to scritch Turbo's belly, chuckling when she heard him laugh. "Guess I'm not the only ticklish one."

Of course Turbo had squirmed in his arms, but Alec didn't let go, just grinned down at the animal. It was weird, feeling a connection to a small creature like that, but he definitely did. He was glad that they had decided to adopt him, now they'd both be able to tae care of him, and there'd alwayss be somewhere there when Navi was at wor or out with her friends.

"Well, you know, I love rescuing the damsel in distress." He couldn't help but laugh a little when Navi was rubbing Turbo's belly, causing the ferret to make that laughing sound again. "Wanna see how much he likes his house?"

Navi nodded, sitting up a bit and opening the cage door. "C'mere, Turbo! Lookit your house!" She got up to find the blanket that they'd purchased at the pet store so she could put it in the cage. She watched as Alec put Turbo in the cage, and grinned as he bounced over and started to eat. Once he'd had his fill of ferret kibble, he moved over to the blanket, turned around a few times, and flopped right down. "He falls asleep like you," Navi laughed.

Alec had tried to put the cage together the best that he could, including the hammock and everything else was inside, so he was pretty curious about how Turbo was going to respond. The small furry bundle didn't resist at all when Alec put him in the cage, instead he started to inspect things, before slinking over to his food and eating as much as he wanted. Navi had put down the blue blanket for him, and it amused Alec to no end, watching the little ferret get himself comfortable before plopping down.

"That just means he's even smarter than he looks. Best way to fall asleep." Alec tilted his head slightly before crawling towards Navi. "Well, second best way, at least. First being holding you."

	Navi giggled at Toby getting settled, and she moved to stand up. "He's adorble, and that does seem like pretty much the most awesome bed ever." She reached out her hand to pull Alec up, smirking. "I like falling asleep in your arms. But who's tired?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I think you're right about it being the most awesome bed, especially or ferret, he looks comfortable." Alec took her hand and pulled himself closer to her, still unable to stop grinning. It was contagious, her happiness, it always had been, one of the millions of reasons that he loved being around her so much.

He gave her a small innocent shrug when she asked who was tired before pulling her in close. "Personally, I'm pretty far from tired."

	Navi kissed Alec's neck and grinned. "I'm glad you're not tired, 'cause I had some ideas of what we could do to make you tired." She shrugged, fluttering behind him and rubbing his shoulders. "Turbo's probably out for the night. He's had a big day. Are you hungry or anything?" Navi's first concern was always Alec's well-being and happiness. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I love the way your mind works. You always come up with the best ideas" Of course Alec had his own ideas on how to make sure the both of them were tired, but he wasn't rushing into it ust yet, he loved enjoying the evening with her just the same.

"Good, he needs plenty of rest, he'll have a big day tomorrow too." They still had a lot to learn about their pet and he was glad they were going to do so together. He leaned back into her touch slightly and gave a small nod. "Yeah actually, I was going to ask you the same thing. I could use some food."

"I was kind of going off your ideas from earlier," she grinned, and wrapped her arms around him, running fingernails gently up and down his back. She liked the way his muscles felt under her hands, all lithe and taut and ready to pounce.

"He'll have a lot of big days," Navi smiled. "It's a huge apartment, if you think about it as something his size." She giggled, kissing Alec's chest. "It's weird. Before I got here, Turbo would've been so much bigger than me." She shook her head to free herself from the memory; being a fairy had been wonderful, but she was a human sized one now.

"What do you want to eat? I'll go get us something."

"Were you now? I hadn't forgotten either." It was still thrilling to think about, what they had done before they left, more importantly, what Navi said she was willing to let him do after. His own arms slid around her small frame, holding her close to him, something that he always found himself wanting to do, no matter how long he got to hold her.

"Hadn't thought about it like that. Must be like a huge mall to him." One hand had moved up and started to idly stroke Navi's hair, almost doing so without thought. "Can't imagine you being that small. I know you were...just hard to picture." He flashed her a grin after a few seconds. "You're a lot bigger now, but you're not exactly a giant." He teased.

"Actually, I was planning on getting us one of the greatest treats known to man."

"Oh, I haven't either." Navi blushed faintly. She didn't know if it was appropriate to be so wiggly about him while there was an animal in the room, but she was, and she didn't know how to stop it. She inhaled contentedly; Alec always smelled good, even when he wasn't wearing cologne or anything.

She sighed happily at the fingers in her hair, her eyes closing and purring aloud. "It's probably like a mansion to him. I know I would've liked it in there." When he teased her about her height, she giggled and kissed him on the chin. "What treat?" She leaned back a bit before bouncing on the balls of her feet.

He kissed to top of her softly after she had spoken, arms tightening around her body, holding her as close as he could. He really did love her being within such a close proximity, he would have held her forever if he could, it was something that he could never get tired of, that much he was sure. "Keep it in mind, 'cause we're going to have plenty of things to do later."

He liked hearing the soft sigh that came from her lips, so he didn't stop stroking her hair, letting his fingertips slide through slowly. "A mansion...I like that. He deserves as much." It must be a huge difference between the shelter and their apartment. A good one, but still a big difference.

"The awesomeness that is known as sno cones."

"I know, I'm kind of excited." She bit her lip, nuzzling into the warmth of his chest. "There's always plenty of things to do with you. It's... good." She let her fingers stroke the downy hair on the back of his neck, pulling him down for a kiss. She gently nibbled his lower lip, knowing full well that he liked it as much as she did.

She smiled at how fond Alec was already of their pet, nodding. "He deserves the best. Kinda like some other creatures I know." She squeezed Alec's hand, then giggled at his dinner idea. "Sno-cones? What're those?"

"I am too..especially after earlier." There were still a lot of things for the both of them to explore together, and it wasn't any stretch to say he could hardly wait, but he enjoyed the time they spent together no matter what they were doing. He didn't resist at all, instead, he leaned in an kissed her back, arms lifting her up closer when he felt her bitting his bottom lip. She knew what he liked by now and he was glad for that.

He squeezed her hand back, not releasing her just yet, though he knew he would have to at some point. "Um..shaved ice, with lots of flavor. You'll see. I can't do them justice."

"That was... nice," Navi murmured, her blush betraying just how nice it had been. She didn't know how to describe it, and nice would have to suffice. She purred loudly when he lifted her closer, gently touching her tongue to his for a moment.

She blinked at the idea, then shrugged. "You knew those funnel cakes things were awesome. I trust your tummy." She patted it gently, then went to go put her shoes on.

"Glad you agree with me." Alec told her with a sly smile on his lips, able to see how much she was blushing, which let him know exactly how much she had meant those words. He parted his lips when he felt her tongue pressing against them and groaned softly into her mouth when he was allowed to taste her.

He gave a slight nod of his head, setting her back down on her feet after a few seconds, a bit reluctantly. "You'll see, just wait." He let out a small whistle when Navi turned around and started to search for her shoes, enjoying the view.

"I think it comes with you being a genius. You know how to make me happy." Navi wasn't really teasing; he was brilliant, anyone could see that, and with his intelligence came an uncanny ability to remember what things set her squealing more than others. But all thoughts of how he pleased her so easily flew out the window when their kiss deepened, and she purred faintly. He tasted familiar but it still consistently sent heat down her thighs, and she had to pull away to take a deep breath.

Navi had completely forgotten about her "knickerless due to no clean clothes and wearing a skirt as well" situation until Alec whistled. She stood up sharply, blushing and giggling. "Whups."
