I curled up closer to my fiance. Heh, its been almost two weeks, but it still feels weird to say. Fiance. I'm going to marry my soulmate. I smiled.

"Hey, Virge?" Roman asked.

I hummed in response, not opening my eyes.

"What animal would you want most?"

I thought about it for a minute, "A cheetah."

Roman laughed, "Why a cheetah?"

I shrugged, "Cheetahs are the most anxious big cats. In zoos and exhibits they'll often have support dogs with them."

"Interesting." Roman said.

I looked up at him through my bangs to see him smirking. I squint at him.

"What are you planning?" I asked.

"Nothing!" Roman said quickly, trying to hide a laugh.

"Sure..." I said slowly.

Roman smiled and kissed me. He tasted like strawberries and cigarettes. We pulled away.

"Hey, Ro?" I asked, "Why do you taste like cigarettes?"

Roman froze a bit before laughing, "I don't know. Maybe it's from fighting Dragon-Witches?"

"So you don't smoke?" I clarified.

"And ruin my perfect body with chemicals?" Roman said, "Goodness no."

I smiled softly, "Okay, I was just making sure."

"I know." Roman ran his fingers through my hair.

I melted into his touch, sighing contently as my eyes slipped closed. Roman chuckled and I cuddled into him more.

"Hey, Virge?" Roman asked, "I know you're all comfortable..."

"Yes..." I drawled out.

"But Patton made some cookies yesterday and I haven't had a chance to grab any yet." He said, smiling.

I half-heartedly glared at him, "You're lucky I love you."

Roman laughed, "that is very true."

I gave him a quick kiss and rolled off the bed, "I'll be right back."

I passed the commons on my way to the kitchen. Big mistake.

Patton and Logan were making out on the couch.

"Oh my god! Get a room!" I groaned.

The two jumped away from each other, red faced and panting slightly.

"O-oh, hey there kiddo..." Patton chuckled, "we were just... um..."

"Nope!" I said, walking quickly into the kitchen, "I do not wanna know about that part of your relationship!"

I shook my head as I entered the kitchen. Grabbing a plate and some triple chocolate chip cookies, I went back to mine and Roman's room. Logan and Patton weren't in the commons anymore.

"Hey, Ro, I got your- WHAT THE HELL?!" I almost dropped the cookies when I opened the door.

A real, live king cheetah was draped across Roman's lap, purring contently as Roman laughed.

"Surprise?" Roman said.

"I- wha-? Why?" I stuttered.

Roman laughed, "You've done so much for me, I thought I'd get you a little gift."

"So you got me a cheetah?!" I asked in shock.

"Yes." Roman grinned, "Do you want to pet her? She's really soft."

I nodded, setting down the plate of cookies and walking over to the bed. The cheetah opened her gold-brown eyes and meowed, which was adorable. I ran my hand trough her fur and she stuck her tongue out, trying to lick me. I gigg- laughed lightly!

"What are you going to name her?" Roman asked.

"Jana," I said.

"Jana?" Roman smiled.

I nodded, "She was a cheetah in a show called 'Wild at Heart'. She was killed by poachers."

"Oh..." Roman said.

I smiled and climbed back into bed. Jana put her head on my chest and started purring. I scratched behind her ears and she rubbed her cheek against mine.

"OH MY GOSH, KITTY!"

Jana and I jumped at the sudden voice. Patton was standing in the doorway.

"Oh my gosh, I wish I could pet it!" He squealed.

"Actually, Padre, she's hypoallergenic." Roman said, "she won't trigger your allergies."

Patton gasped, "really?"

"Do you want to pet her?" I asked.

Patton nodded excitedly and reached out to stroke Jana's fur. Jana purred and leaned into his touch. He giggled.

"What's her name?" Patton asked quietly.

"Jana." I said.

Patton smiled as the cheetah licked his nose, "she's beautiful..."

"Yeah." I agreed.

Roman kissed the side of my head and whispered, "not as beautiful as you."

I blushed. Then Jana ruined the moment by flicking her tail in Roman's face. I laughed.

"Hey! What's the difference between a lion and a cheetah?!" Patton asked, "Cheetahs have the mane part missing!"

I laughed a little, "nice one Dad."

"Awe! Thanks kiddo!" Patton said, "I better go now."

"Going to make out with your fiance more?" I joked.

Patton smiled. His answer made Roman almost choke on a cookie.

"Yes!"
