Y/n was walking around the park with her friend Alexander. They wandered around a bit. Alex stuffed his put his hood on when Y/n mentioned Thomas (sue me), Alexander's crush.

"So when are you going to ask him out?" Y/n asked, wiggling her eye brows.

Alex blushed. "Shut up." He begged.

"Never. Hahahhaha." Y/n said, making Alexander groan. "You're just mad because you admit you're gay."

"I'm bi." Alexander said.

"Whatever." Y/n and they continued to walk. "I totally ship it though."

"Please don't." Alex said.

"How many kids do you want? Wait.. you two are dudes." Y/n said.

"Kill me." Alexander muttered under his breath.

"What's a good ship name? Thomander? No, weird." Y/n said. "Hmm.. Jefferton... That just sound stupid. I know! Jamilto--"

Y/n was knocked to the ground. A small white dog began to lick her face. Giggling, Y/n tried to get the dog off. The giggles soon turned to laughs as the dog continued to lick her face.

"Ahaha-St-stop.. haha.. please." Y/n said.

"Nala!" Someone called.

The dog bounced off Y/n and ran to a man holding a leash. The dog nuzzled against the man's legs. The man went over and attached the leash to the dog's collar and walked over to Y/n.

"I am so sorry miss." He said and helped Y/n get up. "Nala gets excited sometimes."

"It's fine." Y/n said and dusted off her clothes.

"I-is there something I-I can do to.. make up for it?" The man asked.

"No. I'm seriously fine." Y/n said. "I'm Y/n L/n, by the way."

"John Laurens." He said. "And I guess you met Nala."

The dog barked happily as John called her name. Nala nuzzled against Y/n's legs. Y/n bent down and petted the dog. Nala spun around and gave a happy bark.

"She's cute." Y/n said.

"Uh.. y-yeah thanks." John said, blushing.

"Hey, Y/n, Thomas asked me out I have to leave." Alex said.

"Alexander." Y/n said.

"Okay, bye!" The small man yelled as he ran away.

Y/n sighed. "People suck." She said.

"That's one of the reasons why I got Nala." John said. He sat down on the ground next to Y/n and Nala jumped on his lap. He petted his dog's hair. "People... people ditch you. They hurt you.. and, you know, sometimes you can't trust a person like-like--"

"Like how you can trust a dog." Y/n finished.

"Yeah." John said, the bright red blush on his face made his freckles visible. "It-It's kinda--"

"Complicated?" Y/n asked. "Yeah, I can tell."

John chuckled. "Yeah. It's complicated." He said.

Nala barked and snuggled into John's stomach. John looked down at hus dog and smiled. Y/n could tell these two have gone through a lot together.

"Nala is the best dog you can ask for." John said, mostly to himself. "She's loyal, kind, and loving. She's bestfriend.... and... my only friend."

"You have me." She said. Y/n couldn't help but feel sad for John. She moved closer to him. She stroked the sleepy dog on John's lap. John looked at Y/n and they met eyes.

John blushed. "I-I g-guess so..." He said nervously, making Y/n giggle.

"You don't have to be nervous or scared." Y/n said. "Not all people will leave you. Not everyone will betray you."

John looked Y/n as she continued to stroke Nala until she fell asleep. John thought about what Y/n. All his life, people left him. They never seemed to care about him.

"Yeah? Like who?" He asked.

"Me." Y/n replied.

"I barely know you." John said, his movements woke up Nala.

"So that means we can get to know each other more." Y/n said.

"Are you asking me out?" John asked, making Y/n blushing.

"N-no. I-I mean.. Like i-if you want to.. I guess." She stuttered.

John chuckled. "I guess that would be nice." He said with a smile.

Y/n returned the smile and Nala bounced up. She grabbed a stick and laid it in front of Y/n and John. They looked at each other and smiled. Y/n grabbed the stick and threw it across the field. Nala jumped and ran for the stick.

Maybe people aren't that bad. John thought.

A/n: I want Nala.
