Choosing Between Them

Never Alone

Dustin's P.O.V.

When we got to the zoo I was jumping up and down yelling at Tobias to park faster. Of course all he did was laugh and nod his head. Sometimes I wonder if he'll ever take me seriously, but I guess not when I'm squealing like a six-year-old about the zoo.

I can't help it though, I love the zoo so much. I love the penguins and the reptiles and that one cute stray cat I always see when I come here. Finally Toby parks and we both get out, but before I could run through the gates of the zoo Toby stops me.

"Don't forget about our deal Dustin." He says smiling and waving a finger in front of my face. I pout and nod my head before lifting my arms letting him pick me up. He smiled as he picked me up and set me on his hip like a child. "There that's not too bad right kitten?" He asks while poking my cheek.

I just continued to pout and crossed my arms in front of my chest. Of course when I did that Toby had something to say. "Awe you're so adorable Dustin." He cooed and hugged me tighter. If I wasn't so excited to see the penguins I would have complained.

When I saw where we were walking I immediately started bouncing in Tobias's arms begging him to walk faster. Much to my chagrin he did not walk faster, but luckily he didn't slow down because if he had then I would have freaked out.

Once we finally got to the penguins I jumped from Tobias's arms and ran to the exhibit squealing happily as I watched the black and white animals waddle around with their children in their icy home. They were adorable and I couldn't help but awe at them when a baby penguin waddled over to me and fell when they got to me.

They got up and squeaked at me and I meowed at them making them waddle away. I meowed happily as we continued walking through the zoo looking at all my favorite animals. I even forgot about Tobias holding me, that is before Michael came out of nowhere with the cutest little girl ever.

He walked up to us a frown set onto his face and I blushed when I noticed that Toby was still holding me and he didn't seem like he was going to let go easily. "Hey, you two seem extra close today." Michael growled and the girl beside him giggled before walking up to us. "Kitty!" She squealed and I couldn't help but chuckle at that.

She is so precious it hurts. I got down from Tobias's arms and the sweet little girl lifted her arms towards me silently asking my to pick her up.

Of course I didn't say no. I lifted the adorable little fluff ball and kissed her cheek. She almost smelled exactly like Michael earthy and woodsy but she had this air of innocence and happiness around her.

While Michael had something else..something enticing about him. Soon I was pulled from my thoughts by the fluff ball of cuteness. "Dusteeeeen!" She yelled trying to get my attention.

She had all my attention.

This cutie seemed to be nothing but an angel. "Michael who is this adorable little fur ball?" I asked while hugging her tight as she giggled.

"This is my sister Marissa." He chuckled. I was too engrossed by Marissa to listen to him though.

"What's your name little cutie?" I asked her.

"M'rissa! I'm thwee!" She told me happily. I awed at her little voice.

"That's a very pretty name." I told her while squeezing her in my arms again before putting her down.

"Uh, Dustin I think it's time to go." Tobias muttered and I frowned before stepping back.

"Oh come on Tobias look at him, he just wants to stay a little longer." Michael stepped in pulling me into a hug sort of. I was turned around in his arms but that was fine as long as I could hold Marissa again.

Tobias nodded reluctantly but still lifted me in his arms. Michael growled but didn't say anything as he lifted his sister into his arms while walking beside Toby.

I politely asked Toby to take me to the food court, and by politely I mean I told him to hurry up and feed me. He chuckled and we all went to the food court.

When we sat down Marissa was in Michael's lap and I was in Tobias's lap.

"This wasn't a part of the deal Toby." I whined and tried to move but he just held me still and his grip tightened.

"I'll buy you ice cream and candy." Was all he said and I stopped fighting. Don't judge me, I like sweets.

Michael didn't seem to like it though he didn't say anything and just got up to get food. I yelled at him to get me pizza and he gave a thumbs up.

When we left the zoo me and Marissa had burned holes through the guys pockets. But I didn't really care because I knew Toby was exaggerating and Mar was too cute to say no to.

We were on our way to the ice cream and candy shop and I was bouncing excitedly in my seat the whole way.

"Dustin sit still." Tobias said for the tenth time and for the tenth time I replied with a simple, "No."

He just sighed and kept driving but he was still smiling. Whenever we hang out together he has the biggest smile on his face. I never understood why., but I was happy that I was the cause of it. I like seeing Tobias smiling and happy.

We finally got to the shop and Michael and Marissa came with us. We found a table but Toby still wouldn't let me sit in a chair. Jerk.

Tobias's P.O.V

Once we got to the ice cream shop we all sat at a table with Dustin in my lap again. I was so happy he didn't try to get up too, he's just so adorable I just want to hug him all the time plus this is an excuse to hold him. "Dustin what kind of ice cream do you want?" I asked getting up and setting him down in the chair. "Vanilla with gummy bears and sprinkles please!"

His adorable smile spread across his face. I went up and ordered his ice cream along with a bottle of water for me. I don't eat a lot of sweets so I never really go to places like this unless I'm with Dustin. He's like a ball of sugar with a set of sweet teeth.

I brought the ice cream to Dustin and immediately started shoveling ice cream in his mouth. The kid never gets brain freeze. I slowly sipped my water and Michael fed his sister who was bent on feeding herself.

"I do it!" She screeched again as Michael held the spoon with her trying to reach it. "No you'll make a mess if you do it yourself." Michael countered laughing as she huffed and crossed her arms. She was cute but not as cute as my Dustin.

She pouted as Michael fed her and she tried to hide her smile. I was okay with them being there as long as Michael left Dustin alone. Dustin is mine and mine only.

Once Dustin finished his ice cream we said bye to Michael and Marissa as we went to the car. Dustin seemed upset but he didn't look like he wanted to talk about it. I just hope he had fun and maybe the next time we go out we could be alone.
