"i want a dog."
sakusa kiyoomi pauses his movements, freezing mid-tucking himself in under the covers and instead turns his head towards you. he stares at you with a slight frown on his face as if you've just insulted him in some way, meanwhile you hold your ground and look back at him with eyes filled with determination.
"...why?"
"because!"
and at that moment, kiyoomi knows neither of you are going to sleep anytime soon.
"they're so cute, omi! and they're so much fun and they make such great companions. maybe you can even take it with you on your morning runs. oh, and we can take it to the park for walks!" you continue to list your rationale for getting a pet as kiyoomi listens silently. he has nothing against dogs. he doesn't dislike them but isn't particularly interested in owning one, either. truthfully, he's more worried about the mess it's going to make – he's been to atsumu's house which he shares with his several dogs a few times and there's always some dog fur clinging to his furniture or stray squeaky toys scattered on the floor.
"just imagine how great it'll be to have a dog around the apartment." you finish off your speech and look expectantly at the man beside you.
kiyoomi snorts in mock offense at your last statement. "sorry, is living with just me getting too boring for you?"
you lightly swat at his chest, rolling your eyes although the smile on your face doesn't go away. "that's not what i said," you whine, and for a second, kiyoomi wonders what's the point of getting a cute puppy when there's already one next to him on the bed.
your husband chuckles at your antics as he gestures for you to come closer, wrapping an arm around you as you oblige and nestle into his side.
"i've thought about it, y'know," you murmur, sincerity more evident in your tone, "i'm pretty sure we can handle a dog if we get one. if you want to."
kiyoomi hums thoughtfully. he knows you've always had a soft spot for furry friends and that you've longed for a dog for years, but with how busy the both of you were with your respective careers, it would've been unfair to get a pet you couldn't properly care for. however, he's aware that you're both married and settled down now, with steady jobs and no plans for children in the foreseeable future, maybe a dog isn't such a bad idea after all.
"that sounds good, actually," he finally admits out loud.
you immediately squirm in his arms to look up at him with wide eyes. "wait, really? you think so?"
kiyoomi grumbles at your sudden movements and waits for you to still again before answering. "yeah. why do you sound so surprised?"
you shrug. "dunno," you mumble, almost timidly, "i thought i heard you complaining about atsumu's dogs once, so i didn't think you'd want to get one."
a short laugh escapes him. "probably complaining about how atsumu doesn't brush them enough or something. i'm sure we'll be better dog parents, though." he smiles at your giggle, brushing away a strand of hair from your face and planting a soft kiss at the top of your head before he properly tucks the both of you back under the covers, sending you off to sleep with dreams of pawprints, squeaky toys, and a rather adorable image of kiyoomi wearing floppy dog ears that you're definitely going to tease him about in the morning.
