Dawkins is a really smart canine. When others were still trying to learn their ABCs, he was already speaking in full sentences, and it only took him a few months after that before he is able to pronounced big words. When others are still trying to learn how to walk, he's already able to do just that.

He's passionate in math, science, and engineering. Especially engineering. All of the amazing devices that are used by his family in a regular basis are all his invention. From the kibble machine to the bowl dispenser, it was all his work. It's safe to say that Dawkins is a genius.

Plus, having a wonderful family that cares for him, awesome friends, and a boyfriend whom he loved and who loved him. Yes, life is good for the dalmatian.

His name is Alex. A golden retriever from Australia with a passion for being a police dog. He loves many things, such as Southeast Asian culture, Hollywood, playing fetch, soccer, as well as Dawkins. Especially Dawkins.

The two had been dating for a year and both had made sure that every day is filled with only happiness and love for each other. Sure, they've had some disagreements and different opinions, but they still love each other, nonetheless.

But lately, his boyfriend had been distancing himself from the genius quite frequently. Being late for dates, spacing out a lot, always being distracted. It sometimes worried him. It made him think that he's... interested in someone else.

Dawkins knew that Alex isn't like that. He's sweet, caring and honest and he always convinced himself of that, but now, he's starting to doubt it. He knew that thinking like that about someone who you've been dating for so long is ridiculous, but there is still this heavy feeling inside his chest that begs to differ.

'Oh, Dog... please, let me be wrong about Alex...'

Today, Dawkins and his best friends, Albert and Rosalind are hanging out at the Camden Town Museum, where they're studying the new Neolithic Exhibit.

Albert is a male mixed breed between an English Cocker Spaniel and an English Spaniel who loves medieval roleplaying (including LARPing), reading fabels and fairytales about such topics, as well as admiring arts. He has an auburn fur and wears a royal blue collar with a golden yellow shield-shaped tag. He also possesses a cockney accent.

Rosalind is a female powder blue-furred poodle with an affinity for crystallography, chemistry, practice-hunting, and yoga as well. She wears a dark purple collar with a teardrop-shaped rose-and-lavender colored charm. She may not like being stereotyped, but she still loves a few girlish hobbies such as makeovers.

As the two are admiring and observing the remainings of the Knossos settlement, Dawkins is too busy scrolling through his messages for any texts from his retriever boyfriend. It had been an hour since he'd texted Alex, but still no reply. This made the dalmatian teen worry for his mate. What if something had happened to him? Or worst? What if he's hurt? Or...

"Hello? Earth to Dawkins? Anyone there?" said dalmatian snapped out of his trance as he came face to face with the blue-furred poodle, a curious look etched into her face. "Are you okay?"

"Uh, yes. I'm alright, Rose. I was just thinking." answered the teen, rubbing the back of his neck as he blushed in embarrassment.

"Oi, what's going on 'ere?" asked the mixed breed as he approached his best friends.

"Dawkins is thinking about something." answered the poodle teen.

"Really? What about?"

"I-it's about Alex. He... he hasn't answered any of my texts and I'm starting to get worry." said Dawkins.

"Seriously? Some boyfriend 'e is. What kind of a dog would go off and not at least texted 'is boyfriend that 'e's alright?" commented the male as he rolled his eyes at the labrador's behavior. If there's one thing that he can't stand, it's some jerk that dares to hurt his friends. As a knight and a best friend, it is his duties to protect his comrades. "Don't worry, Dawkins, everything is gonna be alright. 'Ey, you wanna come to my 'ouse for lunch? My mum is making beef wellington."

"Thank you, Albert, but... I think that I'm just going to head back home. Thank you for the offer. Tell your family I said 'hi'." and with that, the genius teen walked out of the museum towards 101 Dalmatian Street.

Along the way, Dawkins' mind wandered back to Alex. What is going on with him? Why is he ignoring him? Is it because of something he did or said? He tried to figure out all the possible reasons for why his boyfriend is acting the way he is, but nothing comes to mind.

He hadn't even crossed the road when he heard a familiar voice coming from an alleyway a few feet away from him. His brain tells him to just walk away, but his body disagrees and heads towards the source.

That was a mistake.

What he saw made his heart shatter into a million little pieces. His boyfriend, Alex, is holding a box with a ring inside in front of another dog. The sight destroyed the teen. Everything in his world came crashing down as he could feel rage, shock, and sadness all building up inside him.

Dawkins let out a 'Oh, kibbles' that caught the attention of both canine, since they turned their heads towards the dalmatian with a look of surprise plastered on their features.

"Alex... h-how could y-you?" muttered the genius, his tears flowing down his spotty cheeks and his breath ragged and uneven. The more he look, the more his heart hurts. How could Alex do this to him?

"I-I-I love you... I l-love you w-with my entire b-b-being! I'm willing to do EVERYTHING for you! I let you took my virginity away from me! How could you do this to me?!"

"N-No, Dawkins, this isn't what it loo-" the labrador was cut off by a slap in the face, courtesy of the crying dalmatian. Without saying another word, Dawkins ran out of the alleyway with tears in his eyes.

It's been an hour ever since he witnessed his, now ex, boyfriend broke his heart. The spotted fur teen had locked himself in his room, assaulting his pillow with waves of his salty tears. His sobs and screams echoed through the house, capturing the attention of his family. All of them, including Albert and Rosalind, who had come to check on his condition, are worried for the genius. They've never seen him this despondent before.

"Wow... sounds like he's really hurt." noted the eldest sister, Dolly, as she continued to listen to her little brother's sobs. She's torned between wanting to rip that paphetic excuse of a man to shreds or to stay put in case Dawkins needs anything.

"Yeah, I never seen him like this before." agreed Dylan. In all of his 17 years knowing the dalmatian, he had never once seen him in the kind of state he is right now and it made him worry.

As everyone is gathered in front of the room where Dawkins resides, the sound of knocking from the front door caught their attention. The mixed breed decides to open it. Once he saw who is standing in front of him, Albert growled and bare his teeth as he pounced on the labrador. "What are ya doin' 'ere, you no good thwack!?"

The auburn-furred teen pressed his paws on the labrador's shoulders, pinning him down. However, Alex manages to power out and turned the table on him, switching their positions with him now pinning the mixed breed. "Listen, Albert. I'm not here to fight. I just-"

"I don't care what you want! Just stay away from my best friend!"

"Stop!" the two males turned around, only to be met with an angry Delilah Dalmatian. In an instant, the blonde-furred canine was off of the mixed, who scrambled to his feet. The two shrunk under the stare of the mother, who looks like a bear looking down at a couple of hares.

"W-We're sorry, Ms. Dalmatian." apologized Alex and Albert. They know better than to get on the woman's bad side if they still wanna continue breathing through their nostrils, instead of through tubes on a hospital bed.

"Now, what is all the ruckus about? If you haven't noticed, Mr. Labrador, that my son is currently crying his heart out because of your little act of betrayal."

"I know, ma'am, and I'm terribly sorry for doing that to Dawkins. But the reason I came here is to explain myself. I would never intentionally hurt him like that. I love Dawkins with everything I got and more."

Delilah could see the sincerity in his eyes as he said that. She could judge a person by how they act, and she could see no signs of deceit from the labrador. And he's right, him and her son had been dating for a long time and everyday, she could see the genius so much happier. And she wants that. She wants her children to be given a life filled with happiness and love. And it's clear that Alex will be able to give just that to Dawkins.

"Alright, my dear, I believe you. Explain yourself." the female dalmatian smiled, which is gladly returned. Said male thanked her and began to explain his earlier actions. Once he's finished, all eyes are fixed on him. To say that they can't believe what he just informed them is an understatement.

The labrador stands outside of his lover's room, the sound of his crying made his heart ached in pain. Alex tries to come up with what to say to the dalmatian, but can't think of anything so he decides to just went for it. He outstretched his arm and knocked on the door with his paw.

"H-Hey, Dawkins, it's me, Alex." no reply. Sighing, he continues, "Listen, I'm sorry for hurting your feelings and... for acting like an idiot earlier. But you left before I can explain-"

The labrador was cut off by the other being forcefully opened by a puffy-eyed Dawkins, who looks pissed, and hurt at the same time, his spotty, freckled cheeks stained with his tears. "Explain what? Explain how you proposed to some other dog behind my back?! Well, if so, you don't have to, because I already saw it! I hope you're happy with her!" the genius yelled angrily, a new batch of tears streaking down his black pool.

Alex grabs Dawkins' paws and wrapped them in his own, much to the dismay of the dalmatian. No matter how much he struggles, he knew that it was a waste since Alex is much stronger than him. The genius cursed the teen's physical strength under his breath as he finally stopped wrangling after several minutes.

"Dawkins, please, just... hear me out..." begged the male. Dawkins reluctantly agreed and intently listened to what the male in front of him has to say.

"Listen, I... I just wanted to say I'm sorry for... hurting you and making you cry. You know I will never intentionally hurt you. I love you so much, Dawkins."

"If you love me, then you wouldn't have done what you did. Who is she?" Dawkins look right into his eyes, trying to see if he'll be honest or not.

"She's my stepsister. She's helping me with something." said the male. "What was she helping you with?"

"It's better if I show you." as those words left his lips, the labrador took out the black box that Dawkins saw. The genius is stunned, knowing what will come next. His eyes began to tear up and a bright blush illuminate his features as Alex opened the box to reveal a bright silver ring with the phrase 'A + D' etched onto it.

"Dawkins, I love you so much. You are my world. My guardian angel. My prince charming. You mean the galaxy and beyond to me. Words can't describe how happy I was when you agreed to be mine. To be my ride or die. Now, I want to be with you for as long as I live. I'm ready, love. Will you marry me?"

Millions of emotions are swirling around inside of Dawkins right now. Joy, shock, happiness, love. He couldn't believe it. His boyfriend is proposing to him. Tears of happiness streams down from his orbs as he chocked out a 'yes', nodding his head. Alex slipped the ring to his collar and captured his new fiance's lips in a gentle kiss. All of the emotions both canine are feeling being let out through their lip lock. Their hearts beating 1000 miles a minute, their cheeks flushed deep red, and the butterflies inside flutter like crazy.

As they parted their lips, everyone around them awed at the sight. The couple looked around them and smiled. All of them congratulate the two.

"You two are so adorable!"

"I'll accept the cheesiness once. Next time, go get a room before you two make me barf!"

"Congratulations, brother. I'm so happy for you."

"I only have one condition!" Delilah announced, capturing the attention of everyone. They all listened intently to what the mother is going to say.

"I get to plan the wedding."
