Ross's POV

I start walking down the trail in front of my hut. Leaves and sticks, crunching under my feet. I looked around, the only thing I loved, the vast emptiness of these woods.

I hear a soft snore. No, it wasn't the wind, or an animal. It was a female human.

Twenty yards away. Twenty yards away, lay a female human. (H\L) (H\C) hair falling over her right shoulder. She had a bag. Not any bag. A jewel in crusted bag. She had to be royalty.

I take a step closer to the human. And another. And another. Until she jumps up, whipping her head around, looking dead into my eyes. She stares for a moment. Then her startled look, turns into a small grin of victory.

(Y\N)'s POV

I stare. It was him. The neko. The neko from years ago. I jump up and run to him, stopping one foot away.

" I know you may not remember me, but I'm the princess, Princess (Y\N)," I say, hoping he remembers me. He just stared, looking into my (E\C) eyes. Then he hugs me. " It's you," he whispers.

He pulls away. " What are you doing here? You should be at th-"

" I ran away," I interrupt.

His eyes widen, growing the size of a meatball. (Now I'm hungry... Great job me!)

" They were trying to get me to marry a Prince, and I'm not ready to get married. I don't even know anything about him..." I start.

" I hate it there. I'm not free. I'm tucked away, like some precious jewel. And I just want to be free, happy,"

" I understand, how about you come live with me? Hide from the castle guards who are soon to come,"

I nod happily. " Thank you,"

(Magic time skip of KAWAII awesomeness)

We arrive at the nekos, I mean Ross's hut. He holds the door open for me, and I enter. I look around, same as last time. He comes up behind me.

" Want something to feast upon, M'lady?" He says.

I softly laugh, nodding my head. He goes to his bedroom, I follow behind him. He goes over to a corner in his room and finds a old rusty chain. He pulls at it for a bit, until it opens. He starts his climb down, only going a few steps before popping his head back up, " Are you coming, Princess (Y\N)?"

" Yes, and just call me (Y\N), please.

He flys back down the ladder and I follow behind.

I reach the bottom and turn around. There was an entire house down here. I could almost say two houses!

Ross walks into a room, and I followed. It was just like the castle kitchen. He walked over to a small, silver box. He opened it revealing at least a pound of fresh mutton.

My smile grew wide showing my pearly white teeth. Ross held the box put to me, and I happily took a piece of the mutton. Ross took one for himself and closed the box, and placing the silver box back where it belonged.

(Super times skip of awesomeness cuz I be lazy!)

Ross and I returned to the upstairs area of his home. I stare out the small window, looking off into the sunset. I look back at Ross and smile, " Thank you,"

" My honor,"

Ross's POV

I stare at (Y\N) as she looks back at the sunset. The reds, oranges, and pinks of the sunset illuminated her beautiful face.

The sun sets and (Y\N) turns to me.

" So... Where will I be sleeping? " She asks.

" Ummmm... " I feel a bright red heat cover my cheeks. " You could sleep with me," I offer.

She nods, smiling. I take her hand and we return to my bedroom. I release her hand and she sits on the bed as I sit in an old chair across the room.

We sit there in an awkward silence for a moment. Our eyes meet and I immediately look down at my lap blushing.

I've never felt this way... What's wrong with me? She's just so... Beautiful and kind, and loving, and sweet... I've never felt this, what do I do?

(Y\N) outstretches her arms yawning. " Maybe we should get some rest" I recommend. (Y\N) nods slightly, getting under the covers. I go over to the opposite side of the bed and get under the covers as well.
