For the first time since he brought her home from the auction Sniv was taking (Y/n) to work with him so she could get some exercise and make her first public appearance; instead of doing his commander duties he was tending the on-site bar because it was his turn again. (Y/n) would be perfectly safe as long as she stayed behind the counter where no one could try anything or make a move on her. She had been living with him for just a little over three phoebs and he wanted to take her out with him instead of keeping her cooped up in his habsuite all the time. Before actually taking her out Sniv gently brought it up that morning and asked (Y/n) if she would like to go with him to work since it would be a slow day, hoping that she would say yes. (Y/n) was surprised he wanted to take her out and had to think about it, deciding that going with him sounded safe enough since she would be behind the counter the entire time.

Before leaving for the day (Y/n) got herself ready as usual by brushing her hair and her teeth, making sure that she looked presentable enough to be seen in public. While she was in the bathroom she looked at herself in the mirror, giving herself a pep talk in order to get some confidence. Sniv already did his morning routine, so all he had to do was quickly polish his armor just as he did every other morning; he felt giddy about taking (Y/n) with him to his secondary job. When (Y/n) finally came out of the bathroom while wearing her robe with the empire symbol on it she walked over to Sniv who was holding her collar and leash. She knew if he had it his way he wouldn't have to lead her around outside like an animal, but unfortunately neither of them had a say in it because of Zarkon.

"I'm sorry that I have to lead you around like this, but we'll be home in a few vargas and you won't have to wear this silly thing. Sound good, gorgeous?" Sniv apologized when he bent down and put the collar around (Y/n's) neck, grinning at her flirtatiously after he assured her it was only for a few hours.

"Y-yeah, sounds good." (Y/n) muttered almost too quietly, looking down at the floor and her feet; she was embarrassed to have to wear a collar and leash, but she felt flustered when Sniv called her gorgeous.

"Alright then, let's get going." Sniv announced before his door slid open and he led her out into the hallway, locking the door after it slid shut behind them.

(Y/n) felt nervous to be outside of his habsuite; she hadn't been out in a long time and being out in the dimly lit hallway made her feel anxious. She started walking when Sniv did, letting him know that she was aware of her current surroundings despite her anxiousness. Sniv walked proudly on his way to the bar, a slight cocky grin tugging at his lips as usual; how could he not act proud when he had a beautiful human pet to show off, although he wasn't going to do anything to humiliate her in public because he wanted her to continue to trust him. On the way to the bar they passed Branko who was at central command because Zarkon summoned him for a meeting; (Y/n) felt scared when she saw the huge male look down at her. Sniv and Branko didn't exactly get along, but they were at least civil when they were in the same area together.

"So this is the pet you got at the auction. Have you 'trained' her yet?" Branko asked Sniv when they both stopped walking, looking directly at the young woman who was trying to hide behind her master.

"Only the basics, she's still young." Sniv answered with a hiss before continuing on his way to the bar, not happy about what the older male was hinting at.

Branko grimaced when he caught the scent of Sniv's discomfort and anger; he could easily tell the younger commander had a soft spot for the human he bought. While he went back to walking to his temporary habsuite where he would be staying for the duration of his visit he decided to avoid crossing paths with Sniv again. In the meantime Sniv quietly reassured (Y/n) that she was very well behaved and he wouldn't be doing anything cruel to her. Once they arrived at their destination Sniv opened up the bar, turned the lights on and led (Y/n) behind the counter only to help her up onto one of the tall chairs before making sure each of the metal bottles were on the shelf. (Y/n) stayed quiet and watched as a few people entered the bar, looking down at her lap and not making a sound so as not to draw too much attention to herself.

"So this is the human I've heard so much about. Hm, interesting." Hepta said when he walked up to the counter, having a long look at (Y/n) who was sitting quietly.

"Yep, that's her. Now what can I get for you?" Sniv answered proudly before asking the young lieutenant in training what he wanted; he knew Hepta because Ladnok was his older sister.

"I'll have a Mesa'ok chili fruit twist." Hepta answered when he turned his attention to Sniv, ordering his favorite drink.

"One Mesa'ok chili fruit twist coming right up!" Sniv responded with a grin, nodding once in acknowledgment before he turned around and grabbed the right bottles.

(Y/n) watched him open the bottles he selected and pour a certain amount of each in the cocktail shaker; he closed the two bottles and put them back in their places before he put the cap back on the cocktail shaker. Sniv made sure to shake the shaker enough to mix the two liquids to perfection, something he was very skilled at thanks to years of practice. Hepta glanced at (Y/n) once or twice out of curiosity, not wanting to offend Sniv who was his superior; he'd never seen a female human before and seeing one up close was fascinating. (Y/n) noticed Hepta glance at her a couple of times, but she didn't mind it since he looked more curious than anything else. When Sniv finished shaking the cocktail shaker he grabbed a cup, took the cap off, poured it into the cup and gave the mixed drink to Hepta before the slightly younger male thanked him and went to go sit with a couple of other lieutenants.

More people started coming into the bar after a while, some of them ordering drinks and others just there to hang out with their crewmates. (Y/n) didn't say anything to anyone as Sniv told her when he brought her home; not because he would get mad but for her own safety. She lightly blushed each time someone said she was cute, although she hated it each time someone looked at her lustfully and so did Sniv. During his lunch break Sniv shared his lunch with (Y/n); he brought some Bolbians chili squares and he gave her a cup of regular water when she got thirsty. All in all the day was mostly uneventful, mostly filled with Sniv serving various mixed drinks and cocktails or talking to people while (Y/n) sat on the chair and looked pretty.

(Y/n) put her pajamas on after she finished brushing her teeth and using the bathroom, more than ready to go to bed after the long day she spent with Sniv. She wasn't able to try any of the drinks at the bar but watching her master mix so many things was pretty impressive; she got flustered every time he proudly showed her off to someone. Once she exited the bathroom (Y/n) turned the light off and walked over to the large bed where she and Sniv slept together every night; after sleeping with him for so long she no longer felt flustered about sleeping in his bed. Sniv had already finished with his nightly routine and was reading something on his datapad while sitting on the edge of his bed, putting the device down and turning it off when he saw (Y/n) walking towards his bed. He helped her up since galra beds were taller than the ones humans had, knowing that it was hard for her to climb up on her own.

"You did well today, gorgeous. What did you think of my expertise mixing?" Sniv praised the young woman once she was tucked into bed, wondering out loud what she thought about him mixing each drink earlier that day.

"You were really good, especially when that group of foot soldiers came in and ordered different things at practically the same time. How do you keep up and remember orders so easily?" (Y/n) answered with awe before asking him how he was able to remember the details of each ordered drink.

"Years of practice and I have a sharp mind. Now, let's get some sleep; I can tell you're as tired as I am." Sniv answered proudly before turning his bedside lamp off and getting under the covers, laying on his side so that he was facing (Y/n).

Being in bed with Sniv was actually very relaxing for (Y/n); he never touched her in a sexual way and even cuddled with her when she wanted to, which was basically every night. (Y/n) was grateful every day that she ended up with someone who cared about her well-being instead of someone who treated her like a slave, even though they had to act professionally outside of his habsuite. She scooted over until she was pressed against Sniv's pajama clad chest, feeling how warm he was against her. Sniv gently wrapped his free arm around her much smaller form, purring softly and fighting the urge to nuzzle her affectionately.

"Goodnight Sniv and thanks for today. It was… It was interesting." (Y/n) practically whispered before she closed her eyes and yawned, feeling her body relax amongst the soft blankets and her master's body.

"Goodnight (Y/n), sleep well." Sniv mumbled sleepily, closing his eyes and falling asleep shortly after the young woman in his embrace did.

Falling asleep after a long day of being in public was one of the most satisfying feelings for both Sniv and (Y/n), both of them dreaming happily once they were sleeping. Sniv usually got a little bored when he was at the bar during slow days, although with (Y/n) with him earlier that day he wondered if more people were there just to see her. He wasn't going to take her to the bar every time he went to work there because he knew she needed downtime, but he would take her on certain occasions. (Y/n) didn't mind being at the bar with Sniv earlier even though it was a little boring at times; she just hated it when some of the foot soldiers gazed at her lewdly or sent hateful glares. She knew that Sniv would never let anything bad happen to her, although the thought of Zarkon making him kill her if she showed emotion out in public often floated in the back of her mind; for the time being though the thought was irrelevant because she was safe with Sniv in bed.
