Capable loved being able to walk Valkyrie with Furiosa, there was nothing better than walking hand in hand while their puppy sniffed everything she could from the confines of her lead. “She’s doing so well at classes, her obedience is so good” Capable said with a proud smile, Valkyrie was a little spoilt but she was a good girl and Capable adored her, “I wonder if we should try agility classes too?” she mused.
“Trying to turn her into a world class athlete?” Furiosa asked. The simple, mundane things were a secret joy to her. Sure, she put on a tough face to the world, but she felt like she’d earned this part of life. Fingers threaded through Capable’s, a dog, the soft breeze rippling through the trees. “I can see that.”
“Only if she wants to be one” Capable said with a smile as she considered it, “But I think she’d like it. She has a lot of energy” And agility would be one way to channel that into something even more constructive. Capable felt similar to Furiosa, every day was a joy for her and she treasured these times when they were just a couple in love walking their dog.
“Considering the hoops she goes through trying to get our dinner on a nightly basis, I’m wondering if that’s actually a good idea.” Dinner: Impossible. “I caught her hanging off of the table the other night, about to make off with your burger.”
Capable laughed then covered her mouth, “Oh no. That’s terrible” she said though she couldn’t help but be amused. “Maybe agility isn’t a good idea then, do you think she isn’t getting enough food?” she wondered worriedly, they were following the vet’s advice and giving the occasional treat. Capable didn’t think she was hungry but maybe that was her way of showing it. Or maybe Capable needed to stop giving her scraps from the table which was more likely.
“You’re laughing now, but you wouldn’t have been if we’d had to track down burger remains across the kitchen.” Furiosa shook her head. “We feed her probably a little too much as it is, she just… sees food.” She made a zooming motion with her hand. “And goes for it.”
“No that’s true. Clean up would not have been fun, she definitely isn’t a clean eater” Capable said, the number of times they had to tidy up after she’d had her dinner was proof of that. “She’s maybe a little greedy” Capable admitted, “But at least we exercise her enough that she isn’t going to be overweight. Stealing food isn’t good though, I might speak to Scott and see if he has any tips” After all he’d been the one to recommend the behaviour classes.
“That’s a good idea. And you should probably stop sneaking her table scraps when you think I’m not looking.” Furiosa was guilty of looking the other way, mostly because it made Capable happy, and she still had too many dreams of going very hungry.
Capable blushed at that and looked a little sheepishly at her girlfriend, “Oh, you’ve noticed that? I can’t help it she just looks so cute and sad if I don’t give her something” she defended though it really wasn’t much of a defence.
“I noticed it, but you always seem so pleased with yourself that I don’t say anything.” Which was pretty much the same excuse Capable had just given her about the dog. “And I couldn’t survive if both of you gave me your puppy eyes.”
As shocking as it was, Capable could pull off puppy eyes. They had completely disarmed Furiosa the first time they happened.
Laughing Capable leaned her head against Furiosa’s arm for a moment before looking at her properly, “Okay, no more table scraps and I’ll see if we can do anything about the piggy behaviour” she promised then smiled somewhat coyly, “So you have a weakness for my puppy eyes huh?” she asked, already liking the sound of that.
“Oh no.” Furiosa ran her hand over her scalp, then pressed her hand against her chest. She acted like she’d doomed herself. “Did I say that out loud?”
“Yep” Capable said with a bright smile, “Now I know, I’ll be getting my way all the time” she teased, not that there was ever really anything they disagreed on anyway.
“That’s terrible,” Furiosa deadpanned. She reached over and took Capable’s hand. She was suddenly hungry, and she suddenly wanted to get to a place where she could be closer to Capable without attracting looks from people. She wasn’t ashamed of being with her, but she tended to be a private person where romantic affection was concerned.
Laughing Capable squeezed her hand, “Don’t worry I won’t abuse my new power” she promised, leaning her head against Furiosa’s arm happily as they began to walk back towards home.
“You can abuse it. Sometimes,” Furiosa told her, leaning her cheek against the top of Capable’s head. Capable’s hair was so soft, that she almost forgot where they were. She squeezed her hand and whispered, “I love you.”
Capable gave Furiosa the bright true smile she held especially for her and leaned up for a brief kiss, knowing her girlfriend wasn’t the sort for public displays. “Let’s get home” she said with a mischievous glint lighting her eyes now before they walked slightly more urgently than before.
