Vet!Chris taking you to an animal café and he has a little bit of a hard time getting you to leave …

Chris glanced at his watch, then at you, sprawled across the floor with a calico cat purring in your lap. “Alright, baby,” he said softly, crouching down next to you. “We’ve been here for two hours. I think it’s time we head out.” he states.

You didn’t even look up at him. Your fingers scratched gently behind the cat’s ears, earning a contented trill from the feline. “Five more minutes,” you mumbled, clearly enraptured by the small sea of animals around you. A golden retriever had settled at your feet, while a tiny rabbit hopped curiously near your hand.

Chris sighed, trying to hide his smile. He’d taken you to the animal café as a way to unwind after your stressful week, but he didn’t anticipate just how hard it’d be to pull you away. Not that he blamed you — seeing you so happy, your face lit up with childlike wonder, made it impossible for him to be annoyed.

Still, he had a schedule to keep. “Sweetheart, the café closes in fifteen minutes. You know we can’t just move in, right?” he said like it was the most obvious thing in the world — which it was.

You finally glanced up, your lower lip sticking out in a dramatic pout. “But Chris, look at them!” you gestured around at the assortment of animals, your voice full of longing. “They need love and cuddles! What if they miss me when I leave?” you whined, already feeling your chest tighten with the fact you had to leave them for the day.

He chuckled, reaching out to boop your nose gently. “I think they’ll survive, babe. Besides, don’t I give you enough cuddles at home?” You gave him a teasing look. “Not nearly as fluffy, though.”

Chris’ hand came up to his heart, like you had punched it. “Rude,” Chris shot back, feigning offense. “You’re hurting my feelings, baby.”

You giggled but stayed rooted in place, your hand now occupied by a curious kitten batting at your bracelet. Chris leaned back on his heels, watching you with an affectionate smile. “Okay, what if I make you a deal? We can come back next week, and I’ll buy you that strawberry boba you like on the way home. But only if we leave before the staff has to drag us out.”

You perked up at his offer, your lips twitching into a grin. “Promise?” he nodded his head, “I promise.” he said, placing a hand over his chest.

Reluctantly, you scooped up the calico cat one last time, giving it a soft kiss on its tiny nose. “Okay, but I’m holding you to that boba and next week’s visit.” you said, placing the kitty down as your hands reached out for Chris.

As he helped you to your feet, Chris wrapped an arm around your waist, pressing a kiss to your temple. “Well come back as much as you like, i promise. And of course i wouldn’t go back on my word, you know that baby.” he said, walking toward the doors as you gave a quick smile and wave to the workers.

“Yeah, i know..” you muttered, still a little bummed that you had to leave. Chris noticed, pressing another kiss to your temple as he held the door open for you.

“You know i love you, yeah?” he said, pulling his keys out and unlocking the car as he opened the passenger door for you. And you looked at him, smiling.

“I know.” you said, leaning over and pressing a kiss to his lips before situating yourself in the seat.

LITTLE VET CHRIS BLURB. MY SWEET BABY 🥹

[strnilolover]

NNN - vet!chris sturniolo - adopting a furry friend

You knew that with chris’ job as a veterinarian, it came with lots and lots of visits from shelter animals. Some who were on their last few moments, some who were looking for their forever homes, or some who were getting ready to go to their forever homes.

It always shattered you whenever you heard chris talking about how he felt so sad for those who have been waiting for months and months to find their homes. Always sitting there and offering comfort and supports for him.

Though, there was one time chris had taken you to the shelter with him when he had to pop by on his day off — just to check up on a pregnant dog to make sure she and her pups were doing okay. While you were there, you had wandered off — walking to the section where all the other dogs were kept at. You stopped by each one of their enclosures, reading their names and greeting them.

But, when you had gotten to this particular dog — you couldn’t help but feel attached to her already. She was a beautiful chocolate lab, her face sweet and gentle. You crouched down, looking at her paper as you stuck your hand out to her. Her name was Honey, and she was only 2 years old.

Her cold wet snout bumped against your hand, tail wagging excitedly as you interacted with her. You smiled, cooing at her. “Who’s a good girl? yeah you are, such a pretty baby.” you giggled as her tongue came out and licked your hand. You were so caught up in petting her and praising her — that you didn’t hear chris come up to stand behind you.

He watched the scene in front of him, your kindness to the little lab and how happy she seemed to make you. Chris’ hand reached out, softly being placed on your shoulder which made you jump a little. “Sorry baby, didn’t mean to startle you.” chris said, apologizing as he crouched down next to you.

You just smiled, mumbling something as you turned back to the puppy. “Isn’t she pretty chris? can we get her? please?” you asked, turning your head back to look at him — trying to give the best puppy dog eyes you could.

Chris smiled, but sighed. “I’m afraid we can’t babe…they uh — they’ve got a family coming in to look at her.” he admitted, feeling a pang of guilt strike his chest as he saw your features falter.

“Oh..” you muttered, frowning as your hand landed a few more pets across Honey’s fur. “Well Honey…it was nice to meet you when i could.” you whispered, pulling your hand away and standing up. You gave chris a look that told him you were ready to go, and he gave a sad smile, following you out to the car.

-

That had been a month ago, and to say you didn’t think about Honey would be a lie. It just felt like something was there when your eyes landed on her for the first time. You didn’t let it get in the way of your daily life, but it did gnaw away at you a little.

Currently, you were curled up on the couch — flipping through channels and streaming platforms to find something to watch while you waited for chris to get home from work. But, nothing was really catching your eyes. After a while, you gave up, tossing the remote aside as you pulled your phone out to scroll on tiktok or whatever app seemed to catch your interest in the moment.

Just as your finger hovered over the instagram app, you heard keys jingling in the door. The sound making your head snap in that direction, the sound chris stepping in through the door echoing through out the house.

“Baby? you down here?” his voice called out. You replied with a quick ‘yeah’ as his footsteps came closer to the living room. When he saw you, a huge smile cracked across his face — you were confused as to why he was so happy.

“Are you decent enough to go somewhere with me?” he asked quickly, and you just nodded slowly. “Yeah? but where are we going?” you responded, shuffling the blankets off of you and getting up from the couch. Chris didn’t respond, he just walked toward you — quickly grabbing your hand and tugging you toward the front door to where your shoes were. You were so confused, he was obviously in a hurry but you didn’t know why.

“You’ll see, now get your shoes on baby. I’ll be in the car waiting, okay?” was all he said before slipping back out the front door, leaving you to get your shoes on and your bag.

The drive was silent for the most part, only little broken conversations speaking here and there. Though, your eyes immediately recognized where you were when chris pulled the car into the parking lot of the animal shelter.

Your head turned to look at him, his eyes focused on finding a parking space. “Chris, why did you bring me here?” you asked, the sadness already laced into your voice. He smiled, “You’ll see, i promise you’re going to love what i have for you.” You sighed, waiting for chris to park the car.

Once the car was parked and the engine was killed, you stepped out. Chris already coming around to your side to loop your arm through his. He guided you toward the front entrance, stepping in through the automatic sliding doors. It smelt like animals and cleaning supplies, just like last time. But this time, the sound of whining and clanking could be heard.

Your brows furrowed, turning the small corner with chris when your eyes landed on a very familiar chocolate colored puppy. You paused, stopping where you were at as your eyes went wide and flicked to chris. “C-chris? what’s this?” you asked, already feeling the overwhelming emotions bubbling in your chest.

“Well, the family that had checked her out decided they didn’t want her…and so when i had to come back to do some more check ups, i noticed she was still here and-“ he took a deep breath, slinging his arm around your shoulders and pressing a soft kiss to your temple. “-i got her for you.” he whispered against your hair.

You gasped, the tears welling up in your eyes quickly. “Really? You’re being for real?” you squeaked out, and he nodded. “She’s all yours baby.” You smiled, the tears now falling down your face as you quickly hugged him and then made your way over to where the worker was holding Honey on a leash. You knelt in front of her and took her face into your hands, peppering kisses to her fur as she gave you kisses in return.

“You’re such a good baby, i’m going to take such good care of you-“ you sniffled, bringing her onto your lap. “-we’re going to take such good care of you.” you corrected yourself, look back at chris as you held Honey in your arms.

You couldn’t have asked for a better gift — or a better boyfriend.

what about vet!chris with an overly anxious pet owner reader

the small exam room was bright, the soft hum of fluorescent lights doing nothing to calm your frazzled nerves. you sat perched on the edge of a chair, clutching the carrier in your lap like it was a lifeline. inside, your tabby cat, cinnamon, let out another mournful meow, and you winced.

the sound of the door creaking open made your head snap toward it — you already knew who it was but your mouth was quick to spew words before your brain could catch up to what you were saying.

“she’s been crying all night,” you said, your voice barely steady as chris walked in, a clipboard tucked under his arm. “i don’t know what’s wrong, but what if it’s something serious? what if—”

chris, ever the calm and collected one, set the clipboard down and crossed the room to you. he crouched slightly to meet your eyes, resting his hands lightly on your knees. “hey, hey, slow down,” he said softly. “let me take a look before we jump to conclusions, okay?” he said, thumbs rubbing your knees softly.

you nodded quickly, biting your lip as he gently pried the carrier from your hands and placed it on the exam table. cinnamon let out another pitiful cry as chris opened the door, carefully coaxing her out with his gentle, practiced touch. his voice dropped into that soothing tone he used with all his patients. “there we go, sweetheart. let me see what’s going on.” he murmured, tone gentle as he spoke to cinnamon.

he began his examination, his fingers expertly moving over cinnamon’s tiny body. you watched every movement, your heart racing with every slight twitch of his brow. “she’s been sleeping more than usual, too,” you added nervously, wringing your hands. “and she hasn’t been eating her wet food. She loves her wet food, chris. what if it’s something horrible?” you rambled — spewing your thoughts, but nothing was helping the way your chest ached.

chris turned to you with a raised brow, his lips twitching into the faintest smile. “or,” he said, “what if it’s just a furball?” he said softly.

you blinked, momentarily thrown off by his statement. “a-“ you paused, brows drawn together. “-a furball?” you said slowly.

“yep.” he turned back to cinnamon, running his hand gently over her belly. “her stomach feels fine, her weight is good, and she’s just a little tense. if she’s been grooming more than usual, that’s probably it. i’ll double-check to be sure, but I don’t think it’s anything more serious.” he stated, smiling as he gave her a small pet.

you let out a shaky breath, your heart slowly starting to unclench. “you’re sure? really sure?” you say, wanting to make sure he was being truthful — of course he would be, he knows what he’s doing, but it didn’t stop you from asked.

chris turned back to you, his warm eyes meeting yours. “i wouldn’t tell you that if i wasn’t sure, babe. cinnamon’s okay. I promise.”

his reassurance melted the last bit of panic in your chest, and you leaned back in your chair, exhaling deeply. chris chuckled softly, stepping closer to you and tucking a strand of hair behind your ear. “you always get yourself so worked up,” he murmured, his thumb brushing your cheek. “you know i wouldn’t let anything happen to either of my girls.”

his words sent a different kind of flutter through your chest, one that had nothing to do with anxiety and everything to do with the way he was looking at you — like you were his whole world. you gave him a sheepish smile, your hand coming up to cover his. “i can’t help it,” you admitted. “she’s my baby.”

“and you’re mine,” he said easily, leaning down to press a kiss to your forehead. “now let me finish with cinnamon, and then i’m taking both of my girls home. sound good?”

♡ a/n : how do we feel about veterinarian chris? might write more abt him along with bakery owner matt! this is the last post for today/night. tomorrow i’m posting a little thing properly introducing !Bakery Owner Matt and reader!!

[strnilolover]

okay so i have decided i won’t really be posting for vet!chris because i can’t really think of anything for him and he doesn’t get a lot of attention and such. i’ll do little things here and there maybe but not a lot.

[strnilolover]

How does veterinarian!chris feel after losing a patient at work 💔 (this js sad but I must know)

it weighs heavily on him every time. He feels a deep sense of responsibility for every animal that comes through his clinic, and when he can’t save one, he takes it personally. He’ll replay the case in his mind, wondering if there was anything else he could’ve done, even though he knows he did his best. He hides it well in front of his coworkers and clients, but as soon as he’s with you — he lets it all go.

he’ll immediately collapse into your arms, his face burying into your shoulder as he lets out a heavy sigh. “It just sucks,” he’ll mutter, his voice laced with exhaustion and sadness. “I tried everything. They deserved more time.” and in the midst of talking, he’ll start to cry. (he’s never been afraid to cry in front of you).

He’ll spend some time petting your dog, finding a small bit of comfort in their unconditional love. You’d remind him that he did everything he could, that the animal’s last moments were filled with care and love because of him. Even if he doesn’t fully believe it at the moment, your reassurance helps more than he’ll admit.

(making me cry here man)

[strnilolover]

does vet!chris have a favourite animal, like an animal that’s really clumsy and always getting in trouble?

funnily enough, his favorite animal is a raccoon. most people don’t like them, but he finds them cute and fascinating. he’s had a few come into the vet for him to work on — and they’re BIG trouble makers. but he loves it, if he could he’d have one as a pet at home — but reader is afraid of them 😪

[strnilolover]

yk what time it is, send in asks or requests about my au’s!! (prince matt x maid reader, player chris x ditsy reader, baker matt, vet chris, adhd reader)

[strnilolover]

okay i have a few thing in my inbox i’m gonna work on while i’m on the bus to go to work. leave some requests if you’d like and i’m gonna try to work on them!! whether that be for any of my au’s (ex. player chris and ditsy reader, adhd reader, vampire matt and human reader, baker matt, vet chris, prince matt and maid reader) or just random little asks about any of them!!

[strnilolover]

do any other au's have kids or just baker!matt? (idk if this makes sense)

Just Baker!Matt !!

Vampire!Matt and Human!Reader haven’t thought about it, and don’t know if thats even really possible.

Player!Chris and Ditsy!Reader are in college, so they’re too focused on school (and each other ofc).

Veterinarian!Chris and Reader have fur babies as their “kids”. they don’t know if they want any, so fur babies is what they’ve settled for, for now.

Prince!Matt and Maid!Reader don’t think it’s good to have kids…obviously because if his parents found out, who knows what would happen. But, they hope they can one day.

ADHD!Reader and Matt/Chris don’t have their minds focused on that right now. Considering Matt/Chris do youtube and ADHD!Reader just simply doesn’t think about kids often. Though, she’s had little burst of baby fever here and there — but nothing has been talked about.

[strnilolover]

Okay y’all it’s getting close to 3am so i’m going to knock out soon. But, i will get to answering the rest of my inbox in the morning. Feel free to leave more questions or asks for me to wake up to!! ALSO, new au and fic tmr 🤗

[strnilolover]

did vet!cheis know what he wanted to do for a job for awhile or was it sudden?

he knew what he wanted to do for a while. chris had always loved helping animals and just loved animals in general. he’d always bring cats home or little birds and bunnies that needed help (either that had something broken or something) even if his parents said no, he’d always find a way to help them.

so once he graduated high school, he went into college/university to study to become a veterinarian. sure there were some doubts because it was a lot of work to become a licensed professional, but in the end — he knew that this is what made him happy.

[strnilolover]

okay y’all i need nickname/pet names ideas for each of my au’s, of what they call reader. (so player!chris, baker!matt and vet!chris) just so if i’m talking about them in third person, i wont have to constantly say ‘ditsy!reader’ and such.

i’m pretty sure ‘angel’ would be used for ditsy!reader, but what about what baker!matt calls reader and what vet!chris calls reader? comment some!!

[strnilolover]

okay so it’s that time again. ask me some questions about player!chris and ditsy!reader !! or send in some requests because i wanna write abt them!!! you can also send things in for baker!matt or for vet!chris (two different au’s (i need to introduce vet!chris lmao))

[strnilolover]

baker!matt and vet!chris kids have a play date fic when? 🫣

honestly that play date would look something like this

(picture is from pinterest!!)
