[Romeo POV]

I left the guild with my new pet or more like family member in my hand. 

She was beautiful, she looked at me with brown childish eyes, she had dark blue fur but with light pink fur on the tips of her ears and on her paws. 

But what made her look extra cute was that she was much smaller than the rest. 

"Hm... What should I call you huh?" I pet her head making her eyes widen.

Well she is small and cute, and looks especially like...

"I got it! I will name you Ten! I read in a book once that Ten means sky and heaven."

I paused for a moment.

"You know? You kind of remind me of this girl I know..." 

I looked down at her and saw her head tilted to the side, "She is nice, sweet, gentle, and well cute. I like her but I don't know if she feels the same... She probably has no interest in me..."

Ten moved up my arm and locked eyes with me. I saw a glint of something in her eyes... something that I have seen before... something that was precious to me... Where have I seen that?

[Wendy POV]

We sat down on a bench at the town park.

"What's her name?" I asked, I knew he wouldn't understand me but I asked anyways.

I was kind of jealous of this girl he was talking about, I have had a slight crush on him since I had came back from Tenrou. 

I guess if he's happy that's fine but... UGH! That's not fair! I want to be that girl! I mean- that is JUST FINE!

"You know..." He put me down on his lap and put his hands behind his head, and laid back on the bench and closed his eyes. I did almost the same, I turned around to face the park, I put my tail around me and sat down but I laid my back on his stomach or more like abs.

"I think I should confess to her but..." He seemed to be struggling with his words, then he just sighed. We sat there for what felt like an eternity.

Man! Why is he so cute? And why does he like someone else... so unfai- I mean.. like I said, it's JUST FINE! 

..just fine...

He lifted me up from his shoulder and put me in his palm as he jumped up from the bench and started walking the opposite direction of his home.

"Wha-? Where are we going?" All he could probably hear were meows but somehow he knew.

"Well, we are going to the beach cause I know you love the beach, right Ten?" What?! How does he know I love the beach, I'm his new cat and there is no way he could of figured that out in less than a day...

At this point we were already down at the beach front, and it was sunset.

Beautiful pink and orange filled the sky as the wind was blowing on us softly, you could hear the water coming up to the shore and then flowing back down, you could smell the food coming from the town, and you could even taste a small bit of salt in the air from the ocean in front of us.

"Pretty awesome, right Wendy?" *gasp* But why does he-

*POOF*

"AAH!" I was in the most awkward position. The sun had already gone down and I was in his arms on the beach front, in my pajamas, in human form! "Uh- uh.. um.. I didn-.. mean to- um.. sorry" I couldn't get my words out properly.

He just smiled, it was almost a smirk. But not an evil smirk but a happy smirk, like he had known that I was the cat since he first saw me.

I felt my face burn.

He put me back down, I felt the sand on my toes since I didn't have my shoes on. I looked down and fiddled with my fingers, not quite sure what to say.

"You know..." I looked up at him and he was also looking down with a slight blush on his cheeks, "that girl that I was talking about earlier..." 

He's probably gonna ask me for advice or something... Like how to ask her out or how to kiss her.. Not sure why he would ask me since I have no idea but still.. And I would have to go support him and-

"Her name is Wendy Marvell"

[Romeo POV]

I looked from the ground to see her reaction, she flinched and looked up to see me.

Then she did the worst thing of all, she started tearing up! What did I do?! Does she hate me that much?

"What's wrong? Did I do something bad? I'm sor-" I went up to her and was brushing her tears off her face with some cloth I had in my pockets when she pushed my hand away.

"No, I am not interested in you!"

My heart sank, it hit the bottom and cracked. It was the worst feeling I have ever felt, I thought I was going to cry but then she hugged me and buried her face in my chest.

She moved her head to look up at me, then I saw it, that glint I had saw earlier.

"I like you! Really like you! Not as a friend but as in like-" 

I stopped her with a kiss on the cheek.

I saw it again, that glint, it was the glint of Wendy, her heart.

"You have the most beautiful eyes, you know that?"

She giggled.
