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.

♡ small headcanons on what it would be like to date veterinarian chris!

⚠︎ warnings : none!! all sfw

♡ requested : no

!Veterinarian Chris who starts his day early for his veterinary shifts, and he loves waking up with you, even if it’s just to give you a sleepy hug or a forehead kiss before heading out. Sometimes, he’ll surprise you with your favorite breakfast from a local café or make you something simple before he leaves.

!Veterinarian Chris who occasionally invites you to the clinic, especially when there are puppies or kittens that need socialization. Watching him handle the animals with so much care melts your heart, and you’re always eager to lend a hand.

!Veterinarian Chris who occasionally has late-night emergency calls. He’s always grateful when you stay up waiting for him, and he makes it up to you by cuddling and whispering about his day as you fall asleep together.

!Veterinarian Chris who is always rescuing stray animals or finding ways to help. Your house slowly becomes a haven for furry little visitors that Chris “couldn’t leave behind.” You love how big his heart is, and sometimes you joke that you’re dating a real-life Dr. Dolittle.

!Veterinarian Chris who constantly shares adorable animal facts or stories from work. He can go on and on about how smart dogs are, how cats communicate through body language, or random bits of animal trivia. You find it endearing, especially when he gets excited about something new he’s learned.

!Veterinarian Chris who after a long day at work, loves coming home to you and just unwinding together. Sometimes, it’s just the two of you quietly cooking dinner, while other times, he collapses into your arms, venting about a rough case or sharing the joy of a happy ending for a patient.

!Veterinarian Chris who is always suggesting weekend picnics at the park, where you bring along your own pets or even volunteer to take a shelter dog for a day out. He loves watching you play with the animals, and you can’t get enough of seeing how happy they make him.

!Veterinarian Chris who is big on small gestures. leaving handwritten notes for you around the house or in your bag. Some are little reminders, like “Don’t forget your meds,” while others are just sweet affirmations like “I love you more than I love animals (and that’s saying a lot).”

!Veterinarian Chris who has this gentle way of touching you, like you’re as precious to him as the animals he cares for. Whether it’s brushing hair out of your face or holding your hand absentmindedly while you’re watching TV, he’s always finding ways to stay close to you.

!Veterinarian Chris who loves making you laugh. Whether it’s bad cheesy jokes or ridiculous dad jokes, he always loves to see you laugh. and your shared sense of humor is something he deeply cherishes.

!Veterinarian Chris whose caring nature extends to you in the most wholesome ways. If you’re ever sick, he’s got a whole “care plan” ready, with homemade soup, cozy blankets, and lots of tender attention. He’s attentive to your needs, always putting your well-being first.

[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.

[strnilolover]

[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!!)

[strnilolover]

also a few fluff suggestions would be some of these:

- reader and matt or chris watching her favorite movie but they secretly don't like it, but end up watching it anyway to make her happy.

- vet chris taking reader to the animal shelter and adopting their like 5th pet 😭

- reader and chris or matt's relationship from childhood to adulthood

angst:

- reader having a bad anxiety attack and matt or chris knowing just how to calm her down and it makes her cry more because of how sweet he is

- survivors guilt

- reader genuinely just thinking she's a pain to everyone until matt comes along and loves her so very dearly and cares a little too much abt her
