(Finally... It's been 5 months. I'm so sorry, but it's back again. And it's Ryan's turn >:3)

Y/N's POV~

It was around 7:00 in the morning and I soon awoke. I was still being held onto by Ace, and I have to say, he's really cute when he sleeps. I grabbed my phone and started to play some games with a low volume.

After a little bit of that, I turned it off and just rested in Ace's grasp. I actually enjoyed cuddling with him. I love the feeling of his fur so much. At this point, I couldn't help myself and I held onto his arm, nuzzling it a bit. It's so soft. It was then I heard a chuckle from behind me.

Turning around, Ace was looking at me with heart filled eyes. "You really like me, don't you?" I blushed. I didn't know what to say or do. I was choking on my own words to find an excuse. However, as I was trying to say something, he puts his finger on my lips and shushes me.

"Don't worry. I understand, Y/N~" With that, he places a kiss on my cheek, making me tomato red. He soon gets up off the bed and puts a shirt on. He then heads out to the kitchen and I follow. I sit down at his dining table, watching him get stuff ready. He looks back at me with a smile and asks "Any requests?" I put some thought into it, eventually choosing waffles.

As he was cooking, we both heard a knock at the door. Ace looks at me and asks me to go check who it is. I walked over by the door to see a familiar lion. I was soon picked up and hugged tightly. Ryan held me close to his chest and stroked my head. I'm not gonna lie, this is very comfortable.

I was able to get out of his grasp and head back over to the dining table, letting him in. Ace looks over and just smiles a bit. Not as much as when he looks at me though. Ryan sat next to me, hugging me really close to him as Ace continues to make waffles.

After about 15 long minutes of cuddling and waiting for waffles to be done, Ace finally makes his way over with a plate full of waffles. He brought out some maple syrup too. He handed us a plate and got one for himself.

I was about to start eating, until Ace picked me up and set me in the chair next to him. Ryan kind of glared and asked "What was that for, huh?" Ace kept a forced smile. "My house, my rules. No matter who all else is here, if Y/N is here, he sits by me." Ryan's glare softened and he sighed. "Fair enough."

The three of us ate our waffles and drank orange juice with it. Soon, we were done with our food. Ryan and I thanked Ace for the food and we're about to head out. However, before I could leave, Ace stopped me for a second. "So, how was it?" I smiled and said "It was great!" He smiled and nodded, hugging me real quickly before finally letting us go.

We were walking out on the sidewalk to Ryan's place, and I could see Ryan was very happy. As we were walking, I could feel his hand wrap around mine. I just held it back, making him even more happy. We continued to walk and we talked a little bit about homecoming.

I don't know how long it is from Ryan's place, but I want to assume we're close. Suddenly, I felt Ryan's grip get a bit tighter. Suddenly, I was scooped up into his arms, bridal style. "I can't take it anymore! Let's go and cuddle!" Ryan started to run with me in his arms and soon enough, we made it to his house.

He set me down and I entered the house. It's pretty nice. I looked around his home and saw another lion on the couch. She looks over and sees Ryan and me. She smiles and walks over. "Hey there, my name is Riley. I assume you're the cute human my brother is always talking about." I blush a bit and rub the back of my neck nervously. "Maybe?" She smiles and says "Yeah, you definitely are."

Ryan smiles and pushes us toward his room. Once we get there, I see a huge lineup of trophies and medals. He smiles and says "These are my rewards for sportsmanship that I got throughout my life." I nod and soon got curious. "If I may ask, what all sports have you played?" He smiles and lists them. "I've played football, soccer, volleyball, baseball, tennis, basketball, and predator and prey." I nod but then realized what he said. "Predator and prey? What kind of game is that?"

I then notice that evil looking smirk on his face. "I'll show you~" I laughed nervously, knowing what was to come. I ran out the door and it seems he gave me a head start. Probably because he knows he's faster than me. I didn't know where to run or hide, so I kept running. However, I ran straight into his chest. He smirked down at me as I backed away a bit. However, I didn't get very far. He hugged me close and said "How about best two out of three? I set a timer on my phone for 2 and a half minutes. If I can't find or catch you by the time it goes off, you win and get to sleep wherever and however you want. But if I win, well, you already know~"

I knew I wasn't going to win, but I agreed anyway. It's like hide and seek almost. I nodded and he smiled widely. He gave me another head start and I found a place to hide. I hid inside of his shed, so I could see him through the crack of the door. He was looking around for me, and I could tell he was confident. I knew my fate would lie in his bed, being cuddled to his chest. And I don't mind. It didn't take long for him to find me though, and he smiled.

After another, I actually managed to hide long enough, and it was in a tree. It was the final round right now and I was currently hiding behind the shed this time. I was looking over the edge to see if I could find where he is. That is, until I felt those strong, furry arms wrap around me. I could hear him chuckle and he smiles. "Found you~" I just chuckle and let him carry me to his room. It was still day, but he insisted on sleeping.

I wasn't ready to sleep though, I was still very much awake. He smiled and dragged me down so I was lying on him. He took off his shirt and held my head against his chest. He stroked my head and hummed some sort of melody. "Come on, Y/N. You don't have to sleep, just take a little cat nap." I sighed and did what he wanted, earning a small kiss to my head and him starting to purr.

After about an hour later, we both got on the school's website and looked at the homecoming court. We started off with the female side.

2. Sophie
3. Samantha

2. Kyle
3. Ron

I looked at Ryan, and he had a surprised face. I smiled and congratulated him. He smiled held me close, hugging me tightly. Soon after, we had dinner
