Peaches and Cream [jisoo fluff]

Requested by @ohpapiseo (even if she tried to fake being an anon). It might not be exactly what you wanted, but I hope you enjoy it anyway.

word count: 1480 pairings: jisoo x reader genre: pure fluff, there maybe a puppy and kitten involved.

Jisoo knew from the first date that you were a special and tender-hearted being. In fact, the boy had met you at the animal shelter you volunteered at, after he witnessed a dog getting hit by a car on his way to University. The driver left without even slowing down, and Jisoo couldn’t bring himself to walk past the scene. He wrapped the animal in his sweater, not caring that the cream colored material would be stained and tattered and rushed to the nearest place he could find, the Animal Hospital too far away for him to walk.

He was panting and exhausted by the time he rushed through the doors, and all of the volunteers in the facility sprung into action, the on-scene Vet Tech coming forward to take the dog away from him. You stood behind the counter, genuinely worried for the dog as Jisoo stood there, his shirt covered in red. With a blink, you shook your head and composed yourself, gesturing for the male to come forward so you could take down the information.

“It’s not mine, I just saw it get hit and didn’t know where else to bring it.” He stumbled to say, far too anxious and on edge to calm down. The poor boy was near tears and it was a surprise to him when you reached forward and placed a gentle hand on his bicep, a sad smile on your lips.

“Thank you for doing this. Most people would’ve ignored it and walked away. You may have saved the puppy’s life.”

Your words eased him, and he was able to calm down after a while, waiting for the news of the dog’s status. It was one of the biggest reliefs he had ever felt when the Veterinarian come out to say she was stable, only suffering a minor fracture that would heal almost perfectly with proper attention. After scanning the dog for a microchip, they determined her to be a stray, and despite Jisoo struggling to get by with his own expenses, he couldn’t bring himself to leave her at the Shelter.

When they handed her to him in a kennel, wrapped in blankets and out cold from whatever drugs they had used to sedate her, he turned to you with a pleading look.

“I’ve never had a dog before. What do I even name her?”

Your smile was warm as you walked around the front desk and knelt down in front of the kennel, your hand reaching through the bars of the door to rub along her paw. She twitched unconsciously from under your touch, and you tilted your head as you thought.

“She’s a pretty color, kind of like a peach. You should name her that.”

“Peach?” He questioned, his eyes shifting from you to the small dog. Peach did seem like a rather cute name. Your nod of approval was enough for him to fully agree and he gave a nervous smile at the thought of suddenly being a pet owner.

You waved as he began to walk out of the Shelter, a few days supply of dog food and treats packed away neatly for him to start off with. He paused when he heard you call after him, jogging outside in the autumn air to catch up.

“Bring Peach by any time you want a break, or help, even just to say Hi.”

He wasn’t too sure if the pink tint to your cheeks was from the chilly air or if you were blushing, but he decided he wouldn’t be too upset if he ever had to see you again, and he nodded in return. “It’s a date.”

--

Your love for animals was something Jisoo had discovered early on. You were going to school to be a Veterinarian, your days outside of University spent volunteering at the animal shelter or taking care of your friends pets while they went on vacation.

Yet, somehow, you had never gotten a pet of your own.

Jisoo had questioned it many times, especially after seeing you grow so attached to Peach over the course of the two years he had come to know you. Even more so when the two of you began dating and you spent practically every night at his apartment, to the point where people questioned if you lived together.

But, you had always brushed it off with a simple “I’m just not ready for a pet of my own.”

“You take care of them so well, though. How could you, of all people, not be ready?” He frowned, stroking Peach behind her ear as you lay on his sofa with the  orange-beige colored dog on your lap.

You chuckled and shook your head. “I don't really know, Jisoo. I guess I just don’t want to take on the responsibility of one animal when there’s so many out there that need my help.”

“Then you can just buy a farm.” He nudged your arm, earning a giggle from you.

“Maybe when I become the world’s number Vet and can afford to do that, sure. I’ll buy a farm.”

The conversation almost always ended like that, with you beating around the bush. Jisoo never pushed you into getting a pet though, even though he was certain having one would only make you happier.

The day, however, did eventually come.

Jisoo brought Peach to the Shelter to visit you, only to find you seating at your desk with a beautiful gray-tone white kitten walking back and forth over the surface as your fingers laced through its soft fur. Your eyes flickered up to Jisoo as he made his way to the desk, a fond gaze landing on his face. Peach let out a whine, gaining your attention as you shifted your eyes to her, finding her staring longingly at the kitten under your fingers.

You watched as the little furball hissed at the dog, but still knelt down curious to observe it. Peach’s nose wiggled as she sniffed the kitten before excitedly barking and licking it. The cat hissed again and jumped back walking to the other side of the desk and, if you and Jisoo didn’t know any better, glared at Peach dangerously.

The dog, however, seemed amused by the interaction and sat there wagging her tail as she watched the kitten clean it’s face where Peach’s drool had managed to clump its fur.

“She just came in today. They were going to go put her in the cat room, but she managed to bolt at the last second and decided she was quite fond of my desk.” You explained, reaching out to brush the kitten gently. She purred and nuzzled against your hand, and Jisoo’s chest warmed at the sight.

He glanced down at Peach still watching the kitten happily, but patiently waiting for her to make the first move. “I think Peach would enjoy a new friend.” He stated, patted the dog on its head before giving you a teasing look. “But, I’m not really a cat person.”

You rolled your eyes and sighed, your hands returning to busying yourself with the paperwork on your desk. “I suppose someone will come in and adopt her soon enough.”

The kitten, seeming to understand your words mewed and pranced over your desk until its face nudged your chin rather forcefully until she was able to jump down into your lap.

“I think she wants you to adopt her, y/n.”

You frowned as you watched the kitten curl into a ball on your lap, and unknowingly you willed yourself to grow attached a little more to the precious creature. “You said you’re not a cat person.” You mumbled quietly, trying to find some excuse to keep telling yourself getting a pet wasn’t a good idea.

But in all actuality, the desire for one had long been in you, and you only held off on the thought that it wouldn’t feel right adopting one without adopting them all.

“But, I can live with something as cute as that if it’s what you wanted.” He smiled, trying hard himself to convince you.

The kitten purred and it’s tiny paw began to knead at your thigh gently and you found yourself sighing in defeat.

“What will we name her?”

Jisoo tilted his head, much like he remembered you doing when he first got Peach and made his way over to the other side of the desk, kneeling down beside you so he could run his fingers over the kitten. “Cream.” He chuckled, Peach nudging his leg for her own attention.

“You want our pets to be named Peach and Cream?” You scoffed, shaking your head. Jisoo simply nodded, finding his choice to be rather clever. But, despite the cheesiness, you nodded in agreement, accepting the name and allowing yourself to feel the excitement of getting your very own pet for the first time.
