Once again (Y/n) found herself sitting on a chair behind the counter in the bar; she didn't mind accompanying Sniv to his little side job even though it got a little boring sometimes. Being out and about in public was good for her mental health and she was grateful that Sniv cared enough about her to take her with him, especially since being cooped up in his habsuite all the time made her feel a bit trapped despite all the things she was given to occupy herself. (Y/n) was allowed to bring a small bag with a few things she needed that day, namely some snacks, a bottle of water and her datapad so she wouldn't be too bored. The young woman kept herself busy by reading something she downloaded, smiling during certain parts of the story; she didn't want to watch anything because she didn't want to attract any attention to herself. While she was busy reading Sniv tended to the customers, quickly mixing each of their desired drinks before pouring them into cups and serving them.

"I see that your pet is occupied at the moment." Trugg commented when she sat on one of the bar stools in front of the counter, giving (Y/n) an unimpressed glance.

"What can I say, she enjoys reading the stories I let her read. Now, what can I get for you?" Sniv replied with a hint of pride before asking the female commander what she wanted to drink.

"I'll have a Kayetti fruit twist." Trugg answered casually, thinking about it for a few seconds before deciding on what kind of mixed drink she wanted.

"Coming right up!" Sniv said with gusto before he walked over to the back shelf, selecting the two separate drinks he needed.

Trugg watched Sniv for a few moments, glancing at (Y/n) every few seconds; seeing the younger commander taking care of a human was strange given his usually frivolous behavior. It was no secret that Sniv was known to be on the promiscuous side, almost everyone in galra central command knew it, but to see him actually take care of another living being was a strange sight. Sniv mixed Trugg's drink perfectly, showing off his skill because of the others who were looking at him; everyone who visited the bar enjoyed watching him mix drinks. (Y/n) didn't miss the glances Trugg gave her and it made her feel a little unnerved, although no one could hurt her because she was wearing a robe with the empire's crest on it. As soon as the drink was ready Sniv poured it into a cup and handed it to Trugg who got up off of the stool, walking over to one of the booths where her lieutenant was waiting for her.

"It looks like it might be a busy day; you wouldn't want to help me, would you?" Sniv inquired while beaming at (Y/n); more and more people were beginning to come in which meant he might need a little help serving them.

"You want me to help you?" (Y/n) quietly asked Sniv with a mixture of curiosity and shock, not expecting him to want her to help him at the bar.

"Why of course; I would love to have someone as cute as you helping tend the bar. Let me mix up a few requested drinks and you can take them to what you humans would refer to as 'booth A', right over there." Sniv answered with sincerity, winking at the young woman before he turned towards the back shelf again.

(Y/n) couldn't believe it, Sniv actually wanted her help to serve drinks around the bar; it was a big job but she knew that she could do it. She put her datapad down and waited for him to mix the three drinks, a slight smile spreading across her lips. Sniv mixed each drink with gusto, shaking the cocktail shaker and imagining (Y/n) serving drinks; his mind wandered to other things, thoughts that consisted of his pet wearing sexy lingerie and him being the only one allowed to touch her. He poured each drink into a different cup once they were mixed and placed each cup on the smaller serving platter so (Y/n) wouldn't accidentally lose her balance or something. Once the round serving tray was ready Sniv turned around right as (Y/n) slid off of the chair she had been sitting on, carefully giving it to her to hold.

"Alright gorgeous, off you go." Sniv spoke flirtatiously while standing to the side, gesturing for his pet to go where she needed to in order to serve the three drinks he prepared.

The young woman blushed as she started walking out from behind the counter, heading straight to the nearby booth where Sniv pointed to earlier. She held the tray of drinks steady as she sauntered over to booth A, a slight smile on her face; she kind of liked serving drinks at the bar, especially since it seemed to make Sniv happier with her. On the way to her destination several people, particularly the other males, kept staring at (Y/n) with a mixture of surprise, curiosity and desire; it wasn't exactly unheard of for pet owners to allow their pets to help out with daily mundane tasks. When (Y/n) made it to the correct booth she saw Hepta sitting across from two other galra she didn't recognize, although she didn't really know too many people around central command aside from Sniv, Zarkon, Hepta and now Trugg. Hepta grinned when he saw it was (Y/n) serving him and his buddies instead of Sniv; he was already slightly drunk but he also thought she was low-key sexy.

"Here's your drinks." (Y/n) announced when she placed the tray on the end of the table, watching the three individuals grab their requested beverages.

"Yoza ylik, would you consider joining me and my friends today. We- I would very much enjoy having a good looking specimen like yourself sitting on my lap." Hepta flirted with the young human woman while sitting sideways and patting his lap; his friends snickered at his attempt to flirt, both of them thinking it was hilarious even though Hepta thought he was being suave.

(Y/n) was stunned by what Hepta said; she didn't quite understand the first two words but he was clearly flirting with her and it made her feel incredibly uncomfortable. She kind of froze, unsure of what to do, say or respond to the situation she found herself in during that particular moment. Hepta took her silence as permission to continue shamelessly flirting with her and used nearly every pickup line he knew, much to his friends' amusement. Meanwhile, Sniv had been cleaning out his cocktail shaker when he decided to see what was taking (Y/n) so long, feeling furious when he saw a slightly drunken Hepta flirting with her. He sneered as he placed the items occupying his hands down on the counter before walking to where his pet was standing as though she was frozen; once he was right behind her he let out a growl that left everyone in the bar speechless.

"If you flirt with my pet ever again I swear that I'll have you transferred to the farthest corner of the universe." Sniv snarled loudly, startling everyone and snapping (Y/n) out of her shocked state; seeing someone flirting with her really pissed him off.

(Y/n) wasn't expecting Sniv to snarl so loudly but she was very thankful that he came to her aid so quickly, especially since all she could do a few moments prior was just stand there in pure shock and stare at the drunk lieutenant. She let herself be picked up by her master who returned to his place behind the main counter; (Y/n) made sure to hold onto him as best as she could even though she knew he would never drop her. Sniv sat (Y/n) in the chair she'd been sitting on earlier before making sure she was alright; he would kill anyone who tried to hurt or take advantage of her. He went back to cleaning his cocktail shaker after he made sure (Y/n) was okay, knowing that she would be shaken up for a while considering what she just went through. Sniv decided that if he was going to let his beautiful pet help him at the bar in the future she was going to serve drinks to those who came to the counter; (Y/n) went back to reading her story so that she could get her mind off of the things Hepta said earlier.

After his shift at the bar ended Sniv took (Y/n) back to his habsuite, her bag of stuff in one hand while he held the end of the leash in the other. Sniv was still angry about what happened earlier; it wasn't uncommon for those of lower ranks to flirt with commanders' pets, although (Y/n) was his, only his, and he was not going to share her with anyone. On the way home (Y/n) didn't miss how stiffly her master was walking; she knew he was still angry about earlier and to be honest she was still a little shaken up from the experience of what happened. As soon as they were in the safety of Sniv's habsuite and he removed her collar and leash Sniv removed his boots, his chest armor, carefully picked (Y/n) up, carried her to the couch, sat her on his lap and gently hugged her against his broad muscular chest. (Y/n) blushed heavily when he hugged her in such an intimate way while a soft yet deep purr rumbled within his chest, getting a feel of his perfect abs underneath his bodysuit.

"U-um Sniv, are you alright?" (Y/n) queried despite feeling hot and bothered, stammering slightly when she spoke.

"I am now that we're alone, gorgeous. I'm sorry that I sent you over to Hepta and his friends all alone." Sniv purred while apologizing to his beautiful human pet; he felt bad for unintentionally putting her in danger and he wanted her to know how sorry he truly was.

"It's alright, y-you didn't know he would do it." (Y/n) shyly responded as she relaxed against his warm body, her heartbeat quickening while she breathed in the scent of the cologne he sometimes used.

It was no secret that galra were horny during their downtime, especially those who were younger, but (Y/n) never thought that Hepta would try openly flirting with her even though he was drunk when it happened. Sniv wanted to make (Y/n) feel safe in any way possible and during that time it meant cuddling with her on his couch, he didn't have to worry about being seen so it was perfectly safe to be affectionate with her. He felt very protective of (Y/n) while he sat on the couch with her on his lap, smelling her pheromones which made him feel slightly turned on as well. As much as (Y/n) enjoyed her little cuddle session with Sniv she still thought it was a little strange how he was being clingy, although it felt nice having him act so affectionately. After what felt like forever (Y/n's) stomach rumbled loud enough for both her and Sniv to hear, an obvious sign it was dinner time.

"I'll go prepare dinner and afterwards I'll draw you a bubble bath." Sniv told (Y/n) before he placed her next to him on the couch, a gentle smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

"I- okay. And thanks for saving me earlier." (Y/n) responded with a quieter tone than she originally intended, shifting a little on the couch so that she could sit comfortably.

"Anything for you, (Y/n)." Sniv replied with a wider smile and a wiggle of his ears before he stood up and walked to the kitchen.

As Sniv walked away (Y/n) couldn't help but watch him, glancing at his perfectly firm arse; she mentally slapped herself for looking at it because she technically wasn't supposed to like him in that way. After the day they both had she knew that he was probably going to make a big dinner for them to eat together. As much as (Y/n) could hardly wait for dinner she was really looking forward to the bubble bath Sniv would draw for her after they ate together. Meanwhile, Sniv was preparing dinner in the kitchen like he did every evening; he couldn't get a hold of the ingredients for (Y/n's) favorite food but he could still make a bowl of goo taste like it. He would refrain from taking (Y/n) to the bar for a while for her own safety, that way she wouldn't have to go through the experience of someone else making a move on her.
