(Castiel's view)

I hate to admit it but I felt so weak and helpless right now. This isn't how I expected my first break up to be...hell I didn't expect it from Rosaline of all people! I can't what a little monster like her said to me! I-is it really my fault?! I didn't care right now she's gone right now and good riddance.

I had no one else to turn to except Yuuta. As a child I would have imagined myself going to my parents if I ever had a nasty break up but...there gone. I went straight to Yuuta, he's always been a good friend. I'm glad he didn't mind my need to hug at the moment or how weak I was right now.

I felt like such a child. Crying on Yuuta shirt because of a break up...how old am I? It's not like the end of the world! But to just hold onto someone and get rid of some of the pent up sadness, it feels so good...and the heat...coming from the fireplace and Yuuta's chest is...is.

I gasped as I realized how much I was enjoying Yuuta's body warmth and his arms around me...it was as strong as my father's yet as gentle and caring as my mothers. I want to say something is different about them but-I swear the way Yuuta holds me is like my parents use to!

I can't be sure but I almost feel like Yuuta is very happy too for some reason. Like he's happy to hold me...I'm sure I'm wrong and he's just doing this out of kindness but this strange feeling in my heart. I feel it race whenever I'm near Yuuta. It sounds like-

As I readjusted my head I heard another similar heartbeat to my own...but this one was coming from Yuutas! He must be...excited for some reason. Or maybe he's just nervous or embarrassed. As much as enjoyed holding onto him I had to suck it up and let go of my childish need. I removed my arms from around Yuuta but he didn't for quite some time.

I felt myself getting lost in a trance...Yuuta holding me...this feeling...like being cared for and loved like my parents. Its-its been so long since I've really hold someone. I thought I was over it but Yuuta must know that deep inside even when I don't show it...I want to be held onto forever by someone.

And not just anyone...someone strong...someone brave and independent. Someone who can take care of me. I'm so tired, tired of working so much. I know it may be selfish to say but can't someone ever do something for me? I always give things and services that help and please people but...when will I get mine?

I thought if I worked hard enough I would get my reward and earned rest someday...but it's been 10 years! I-I've never had this comfort feeling until-until now holding onto Yuuta. But I still felt like something was up...like my guard was up or something inside was still sad.

I remember my still moist clothes...the towel did help and the heat is certainly comforting and nice but...I hate wearing these clothes. I-I want to take off my shirt. I-I want to be held onto when I'm completely vulnerable and need protection...but I also want my partner to be vulnerable. I want my partner to trust me as much them so we find comfort in the others touch and just the thought of having a built strong tiger prince holding me naked was....was.

I felt a small stir in my pants as I pulled Yuuta back and standing a bit awkwardly from the hold before. I tried to act cool but I think it was impossible at the moment.

W-What was I thinking?! Holding Yuuta naked?! The both of us?! What is wrong with me?! I-I must still be slightly upset that Rosaline broke up with me and I'm looking for the person I trust the most to fill the gap...but I-I felt like I could trust Yuuta a long time ago. I noticed Yuuta's tail flick like it was curious why I suddenly pulled away from the hug...but it also looked a bit sad.

"I-I'm sorry Yuuta...I didn't mean to put us in that awkward situation." I said looking down in shame...if I did this when Yuuta and I were enemies...god he would have been laughing and teasing me.

"Castiel...if you don't mind me asking, what happened with you and Rosaline?" He asked as some part of me wished he didn't but I think my...friend...deserves to know.

"I'm sorry Castiel!" Yuuta said bolting out of the bar.

"Wait! Yuuta I don't mind that your tail was-"I said before I felt a tug on my arm.

"Forget about him Castiel. Come one were at a party! Yuuta's just being a snob right now...thinking he probably doesn't want to hang out with you." She said as I raised an eyebrow.

Did she say Yuuta didn't want to be around me? No...that can't be. That confession at the park bench...our training in his gym. These secret talks and hangouts...he's putting so much effort to hand out with me. It can't be that he doesn't like hanging out with me!

Well Rosaline doesn't really know Yuuta so what does it matter? Yuuta must be embarrassed by the whole tail thing but I really didn't mind...it felt nice and strange, but in a good way. I honestly wouldn't mind having his tail around my leg again.

The party for me got pretty dull after Yuuta left, everyone else was having a blast including Rosaline but without Yuuta it felt...empty, like I couldn't relate to anyone. My conversations with Rosaline went as well as they ever did, awkward and totally different views.

All I could really do was drink and watch others play poor card games. I know I could easily beat these guys, so much in fact it wouldn't even be fun...now if Yuuta were here, that would be fun! I know he be an excellent bluffer and it was make the game much more interesting! Too bad he left.

Is it because of me? Did I say something bad to him? I think I might have sounded a little harsh when he placed his tail on me, I was trying to say I didn't really care but he ran out before I could tell him. I'm starting to-no...I know I much prefer to hang out with Yuuta rather than Rosaline.

Rosaline and I decided to leave the party early because it was getting dark and the people in there were getting drunk making the atmosphere unpleasant.

"Come on Castiel! I want you meet my parents!" She said happily taking me by the arm. I was practically dragged the whole way to her house as I admit I was feeling a bit tipsy myself and probably wouldn't set the best impression with her parents.

"Um..okay sure." I said reluctantly.

Rosaline was about the same as the average mid town house. 2 visible floors, a little front yard, and nice sturdy wood foundations. Her yard was well kept and clearly someone put a lot of effort into taking care of it. It was fairly unremarkable yet it was so much better than my own house. Shouldn't I be more impressed with her house? Well then again I've seen the inside of Yuuta's castle and it makes both of our houses look like spare firewood.

The only I really noticed as Rosaline dragged me to the front door was the family name, "Alavire" on top of the door and that was it. I tried look in awe of her house but it simply didn't interest me...was I really drunk or something? I can't think straight, because right now I swear I almost want to say I would prefer to go to Yuuta's castle.

My drunken thoughts were stopped by Rosaline's knocks on the door and then I heard hard footsteps hitting the wood floor from inside. The size of this man must be legendary! If I didn't already feel small and weak compared to Yuuta this man will make me feel like an ant!

I saw the door knob slowly twist and I felt myself shaking either by pure fear or how my legs couldn't support my beer filled body. The door was quickly opened and it hit the wall on the outside and the man in front of me was.....not what I expected him to be.

He was about my size, heck I might even be a little taller than him! He did some muscles on his arms though as he was still wearing his blacksmith apron and looked like he was cleaning himself up. His gray fur looked a bit darker than most wolves but I noticed it was mostly because of the dark charcoal all over his apron and exposed fur.

I thought I would be greeted by a death glare and stern look of observation but instead I saw him smile at Rosaline and held out his hand to shake mine.

"Rosaline! Your back home! And this must be Castiel! Pleasure to meet you! My daughter can't stop talking about you!" He said as I shook his hand and I admit he did have quite a manly grip, a side effect of being a blacksmith I suppose.

"The pleasure is mine Mr. Alavire. Well I was just dropping off Rosaline and-" I said about ready to walk away before I felt him grip onto my arms and pulled me into his house.

"Nonsense! The Mrs and I have been dying to meet you! Don't be shy come and have dinner with us!" He said practically dragging me into his house.

Mr. Alavire seems to be a nice man, I have heard that he is very nice after his work hours but if you so much as scratched one of his newly forged blades...well then they call him the Demon Alavire from the forges of hell.

I kind of chuckled at the idea at first that such a nice man like this could be called a demon. I might even want to invite him for a drink sometime! I can understand he must take his work seriously but I think underneath all that he must really be a fun guy.

The dinner table was set up and it looked like a healthy meal. There was a medium sized turkey glistening from the sweet juices on top of it. There was a large knife in its back and it was prepared to be carved. There were also mashed potatoes, vegetables, cranberry sauce, buns with butter, and stuffing on the table and my mouth began to water as my stomach growled in desire to devour the food.

Mrs. Alavire came out of the kitchen and smiled and bowed when she saw me like I was royalty or something.

"It's a pleasure mysir." She said in a funny accent. She looked foreign but looks quite young for her age. Her fur looked like she was only in her late 20's but she is 45 according to Rosaline. Her eyes sparkled in pride for some reason as she looked at Rosaline.

"The pleasure is mine madam, but really if you have no room for me I can-"I said before a heard some plates begin taken out.

"Come now but keep on being humble. Rosaline said you were a shy one but no need to be shy here!" Mrs. Alavire said setting down another plate with some extra silverware. Mr. Alavire came out with a wine bottle and some wine glasses but I think I've drunk enough alcohol for one day.

We all sat down and said our prays before Mr. Alavire started carving the turkey and Mrs. Alavire brought in some gravy for the mashed potatoes. We started talking about current events and I admit there seemed like easy going people.

There were some things I didn't agree with but all and all very fine and good people. Rosaline though always gave me a look out of the corner of her eye as her parents started talking about me. She smiled with an evil grin but I just assumed she was embarrassed that her parents teased us a bit.

The conversations went on.

"This house belong to my great-great grandfather and he too was a smith, the whole Alavire bloodline has been related to blacksmithing and I don't regret taking in my father's responsibilities one bit!" Mr. Alavire said getting a bit tipsy from a few wine glasses he already drank. I found myself getting tired but I had to stay awake and looked interested. I was kinda interested but my eyes probably looked like they were telling them differently.

"Yeah I know...my father wanted me to take up the woodcutting business but...you know..." I said realizing my tired and drunken state made my lips move on their own without knowledge of my brain about what I was saying. They looked at me with puzzled faces and tilted their heads which all wolves have the tendency to do when confused.

"What do you mean? Did something happen to your father?" Mrs. Rosaline asked as they all including Rosaline waited my response. I debated heavily in my mind wither or not to tell them but Rosaline is a good girl and I like her family...I think I could trust them with my story.

"Well...yes...not just my father but my mother also. You see I was orphaned when I was only 7." I said a bit sad as Mrs. Alavire gasped softly and placed her hand on her mouth as Mr. Alavire shook his head in despair for my past. Rosaline though didn't look at me at all...like she was thinking about something.

"My parents were killed during the plague over ten years ago. Many of us died and when finally it passed low town was a wreck and many were forced to either move or go to surviving relatives. My parents never talked about any relatives so I would have no idea where to start. So here I am...7 years old and barely old enough to cook for myself and do basic chores. It was hard at first...I was weak and little but I got tough, years of constant work and helping came to me so naturally. I found myself only able to work and help but I was happy working for other people. Low town needed a hero and I just thought to myself 'why not me?' I don't really have any plans for the future but I either wanted become a famous knight or noble and help the poor from where I came. B-But Mr. Alavire...um if that doesn't work than could I work at your smithy? I've read a lot about working the forge but I swear I'm a hard worker and I'll make you proud." I said with a soft smile as he still was a bit puzzled.

"Well sure but...but did you say you're from low town?" He asked

"Yes I-" I said before Rosaline got up and took my arm.

"Oh Castiel sweety you got a bit too drunk at the party in the tavern. Can I take him out for some air mother?" She asked as I was the one confused now.

"Um sure be back soon." She said as Rosaline dragged me once again and we were outside in the streets and it was close to midnight. The party sounded like it was over as I heard a few shouts in the distance but no music. We walked along a bridge line as we both felt a bit awkward but still what did her father mean that I lived in low town? Didn't she tell them that I'm poor?

"Rosaline what did your father mean when-"

"Castiel! I know I may have lied to my parents but you must understand!" She suddenly pleaded..so she did lie to them. There better be a good excuse, I hate when people lie during things like this. I crossed my arms and waited for her response.

"Castiel I-I did tell them a little fib. I said you were...a noble from a distant land."

"WHAT?!" I screamed as she covered my mouth and I calmed down again.

"Rosaline! Why on earth would you do that?! You know I'm from low town and you know I'm poor! You need to go back there and tell them the truth!" I said pointing back at her house as she was silent for a moment and shook her head.

"No I can't. I got their hopes up so much I can't say I lied to them now."

"You have to! I don't have the money! I can't provide another castle or house for you if that's what you were thinking!" I said as her head shot up to me and looked at me right in the eyes.

"Y-...Yes...I'm sorry. I've been very foolish. You can go home Castiel go to back to...low town and I'll see you tomorrow in school." She said turning around and walking back home without a single sign of affection. She just turned around and walked away.

I wanted to say goodnight and that I loved her but something felt different. I managed to get home alright by myself but I have to think about what I've done. Who knows maybe she lied to her parents because she really believed one day I could be rich and famous. Maybe I was too harsh on her, I should get her some flowers to show I was sorry.

I collapsed on the bed so tired and still drowsy from last night drinks I couldn't even remember what I was dreaming about. The night seemed to speed by as before I knew it it was morning and I didn't want to get up. I moaned and my body ached but I had to get up and go to school.

I did some stretches a book told me to do in case of days like this and I felt awake enough to get to school. That's right I should get Rosaline some gifts when I see her. I don't have much but maybe flowers would be enough for an apology for now?

I walked outside and noticed a storm brewing in the distance and seemed to heading this way. I hope my repairs last summer will keep the wood from leaking through like last year. The reason why my house is in such shape is because of storms like these. But at the same time I don't have to get water from the nearby river for my plants so rain is half liked and half hated by me.

I walked over to the flower shop and they gave me a free rose to give to Rosaline. I knew the florist and I helped her on numerous occasions, she was actually telling me to take more but I insisted that this would be enough.

By the time I got to school the storm was moving closer and it looked like a few kids were staying home. I got into the classroom and was shocked to see Yuuta's seat empty! I don't think the storm will be that bad! Yuuta's never been one to miss a day of class! In the past when we were rivals a hurricane probably wouldn't stop us because we were always determined to beat the other.

I can't help but look back at those times and smile at how foolish we were. We were always so determined an d passionate about beating the other, now we slow down and try to talk whenever we can. I chuckled softly to myself as I twirled the rose in my hand before-

"Ow." I said softly as a single thorn stabbed my finger and I dropped it to the ground. That's right I need to give this to Rosaline! Yuuta's absence saddens me but we'll always have tomorrow and our training! Many of my classes were canceled as the storm front hit us hard and all the outside classes would be impossible to complete in such mud but...

I started to daydream again. I remember when Yuuta and I were only 12 and our rival had only begun that we found ourselves in a similar storm. The outside classes were also canceled but that didn't stop us from complete our exercises. I remember the growls and scowls we gave each other and how childish they really were in the end. Why couldn't I see how tough Yuuta was back then? I should have known better than to think I could have taken him on.

I don't remember how but I remember halfway in the exercise we got into a fight. Or more like a wrestle match. The hard blowing wind and the heavy drops of rain ramming themselves into our faces made even the most simplest of exercises a hundred times harder. I remember we had to shout to the top of our lungs so that the other could hear our taunts and insults to the other.

I remember mid way through the exercise I decided to attack him tired of the insults and the damn storm we were in. I suddenly ran at him and tackled him in a big pile of mud and we wrestled the other trying to show who was better once and for all.

I chuckled again as I looked right out the window our teachers did when they saw us wrestling before. None of them were brave enough to go outside in the storm so they simply watched us wrestle the other. It wasn't a bloody or violent fight at all. I was more like grappling and pinning because we were both already so tired from the training routines before.

We were like little children in the mud as our clothes we messed and eventually both our shirts were torn off. Before the victor of the match could be decided a guard came out to stop us and dragged us back in the school and no one told Yuuta's parents what happened.

I smiled to myself as I remember the aftermath insults we gave the other. Yuuta calling me 'a pig who was experienced in the mud' and with me calling him 'a scared little princess afraid to get a little dirty.' I laughed softly to myself looking back at our rivalries...and then when I would get home I couldn't help but admire him as an equal.

I wonder what it would be like now? To wrestle him in the mud like we did before. If he were here and with most of the other students gone I would have suggested it. It would be fun to experience our past differences and maybe even finally settle all those unfinished matches we had in our childhood.

Oh yes...I could see it now. Yuuta and I going out to that field and I tackled him down in the mud. We're both giggling and chuckling like idiots as we roll around the other covering ourselves in mud. Eventually our shirts become so mud stained that we take them off and continue wrestling the other.

I could see his mud covered body all over mine. His nice features battling mine but not in the aggressive way. Then heavy rain would pour down and we would eventually get somewhat cleaner as-...as I imagined Yuuta on top of me and I was pinned down. Both of us breathing heavily and still chuckling about how fun the match was.

We would then go back inside and take off our wet and mud stain pants and under garments and head into the showers together. I-I could just see him perfectly in my mind...him underneath the shower and the light shining off his perfect, wet body making me blush and tingle with delight.

Then he comes up behind me, making me feel weak yet protected. He wraps his arms around my waist and holds me closely to him. I feel so weak as if Yuuta was like some tornado and I would swept off into whatever he wants to do.

Yuuta then whispers into my ear.

"Let me wash your back for you." He said as I felt myself tense up in excitement but yet also relax in passion as I felt Yuuta's hands gently rub my back with soap making it squeaky clean and I was completely lost in a trance.

I blushed in reality lost in my passionate day dream before I heard a familiar voice break my concentration.

"Oh David you're so sweet and passionate." A voice said coming down the hallway which made me turn to them and-...I couldn't believe my eyes!

"I must admit Rosaline I never noticed what a sweet young girl you were. How did I miss you before?" A leopard said having his arm wrapped around Rosaline and holding her tight. I felt my heart strain...is...is this real? Am I still dreaming? C-Could Rosaline be cheating on me can-?!

"Oh hello Castiel." David said as Rosaline tried her best to hide herself but we both knew it was hopeless. I knew who she was and-and! I felt my emotions get the better of me as I looked at both of them with a slight glare.

"Hello David....Rosaline..." I said looking down at her as she coward in David's chest.

"Rosaline? Could we speak in private? You know about last night's party?" I said with a slight angered tone as she didn't want to but I grabbed her by the arm and went down the hall as David just shrugged and waited for her to return...with all this anger and rage in my heart she would be lucky to return in one piece.

"Ow! Stop! Your hurting me!" She said as we barged into an empty classroom and after hearing her pleads the whole way I let her go. She tried to go towards the door but I blocked her and confronted what she was doing.

"What were you doing with David?! You looked like you were dating each other!" I said loudly as Rosaline continue her futile effort to get free.

"This is none of your business!" She said trying to shove me but she knew I was stronger.

"It is my business! You're my girlfriend! Why would you suddenly cheat on me?!" I demanded as she stepped back angry that she couldn't get past me.

"Because David is richer that you!" She screamed as I felt a needle pierce my heart...that's why?!

"Your cheating on me because he's richer that me?! That's it?! I told you to only tell your parents the truth! Didn't you even try?!"

"Of course not! I told them that you broke up with me and that you shattered my heart! You just a low town scum! They'll believe me way over you!" she screamed back as I-I didn't even know the person I was talking too!

"So you thought you could just cheat of me without ever having to see me again?! You go out with another mid town guy simply because he has more money than me?! Do you really think you'll ever find love that way?!"

"Oh get real Castiel! The only reason why I dated you was to see what kind of person you're like! Your nothing but words! No action! Just like all you low town filth!"

"You're a heartless bitch! After all the kindness I gave you?! I'm the one who's all words but no action?! Coming from the girl who chose to lie to her parents still rather than face the consequences! I may be poor but I'm no person who deserves an ass kicking like you!

"Oh please spare me from your useless talk! You're useless Castiel! You're poor, pathetic, and no person could ever really love you! Your parents got they deserved! Died from the plague or did they die from their own dirt and filth! HA! Your parents were weak and stupid! You could never honor them in anyway! Your low town nothings and that's all your ever going to be like that snot nose Yuuta!" She said as the mere mention of Yuuta's name made me freeze.

"You heard me Castiel! Your little buddy Yuuta is a little prick! He should do the world a favor and die! Give the workers of mid town the gold and keep the low town scum in place! Yuuta is nothing more but a useless and utterly pitiful tiger! I know Yuuta deserves nothing more than-..!" She screamed before.

A hard slap was echoed through the empty room as Rosaline stood back stunned and shocked as she touched her right side cheek looking offended beyond words. I almost expected her to attack me but I was just about ready to start a fight with her. I-I don't know what kind of monster does this to another person! Rosaline was just about ready to yell and curse me

"Shut your mouth you filthy harlot!" I muttered as Rosaline silenced herself seeing the serious look on my face and sensing no hesitation in my tone. I was looking down at the floor wondering really if this is what I want...yes...yes I need to do this. She doesn't deserve someone like me.

"Sure I may not be rich, maybe I can't give you the world maybe I have poor manners but that gives no excuse to treat me like this! I am a human being! I have feelings! I have emotion yet you think yourself an angel by chosing someone richer than me?! You know what you whore, go ahead, date David. I am sad to say that but David is a good guy...he doesn't deserve to have such a curse like you on him! David is smart and will realize that your nothing more but a little monster! AND I'M GOING TO MAKE THIS CLEAR!" I screamed grabbing her shirt as she coward in fear.

"IF YOU EVER INSULT MY PARENTS OR MY BEST FRIENDS EVER AGAIN! I WILL SHOW YOU WHAT LITTLE MANNERS WE LOW TOWN 'SCUM' HAVE FOR SUCH HEARTLESS HARLET!" I screamed tightening my grip until I snapped back into reality after seeing Rosaline crying in fear but I could sense anger beyond that face. I was about to walk out the door before I heard her say.

"Its over between us...no girl would ever like a bastard like you..."

I turned to her looking at that pathetic piece of fur and realized something in my mind. I turned back towards the door and opened it.

"Seems more like a gain than an a lost to me. Good riddance Rosaline." I said before shutting the door looking back at her angered face but I knew her type, she won't do anything about it. At worse she'll spread a few stupid rumors but nothing to major.

I walked out to see lightening striking down but it was more like a realization to me rather than fear...women...is this all they cared about? Money, looks, and fame? You know...I am better without them than with them. I certainly don't hate all women but it seems they always want that prince charming in their lives.

Prince charming....I wonder what Yuuta is doing? Its not like him to miss school despite the bad weather right now. Maybe I should check up on him. Most of the classes were cancelled anyway so it shouldn't matter that I miss the last class I have left.

I went outside and found myself almost completely soaked within the first minute of walking out in the rain. It was little pouring like someone was throwing buckets of water on me. This...This reminds me when my parents and I would cuddle next to the small fireplace I too out years ago. I didn't want to part with it but I needed to in order to survive.

I remember father and even neighbors coming by with marshmallows and sticks and we would eat them...with my face covered in the white stuff and people laughing and having fun. I felt safe...I was happy. What does Rosaline know?! She doesn't know all the hardships I had to endure!

All the struggles I suffered through! My parents could have given up anytime but they didn't! They made the best of what they had and still found time to love me! They didn't deserve to die in the plague! It should have been people like Rosaline who should have died! How dares that little wench insults my family and friends!

Friends...yeah...I know it now. Yuuta is my friend! I really like being around him I-!...I started to go back to the memories of me and him in the showers...with him touching and feeling me. I just broke up with my former girlfriend, shouldn't I be more concerned and focused on her?

No...I have to move on...maybe-...maybe I do like boys. I knew same gender relationships are found here in Riften but I never would consider myself one! But look at these women! Low town ones are a bit ugly...mid town ones are secret devils and according to Yuuta rich girls are open devils! Yuuta-...

I-I've only known you, the real you, for only a month now but I want to know more. I want to be around you more! Maybe you could even help me find my real partner!

Yes...my partner...right now my partner being a female looks slim. I don't mind I guess still I need to know what I would like in a person or in this case...a guy.

I entered high town as I began to think about the perfect guy for me.

"Lets see....he has to be strong, really strong! Strong enough to help me with my house and farming. He also needs some money. The exact amount doesn't matter just enough for basic things like furniture or better wood, I know all relationships shouldn't be based on that but...well I'm tired of working having money to get better things sounds so much easier now. He also has to be kind, charming, humorous, and easy to talk too. I want to feel comfortable around him. I-I don't know though that if-if I want him to protect him or be protected by him. I would love to be held again like by my parents.

To have him hold me so tight or to hold him so tight that all my fears go away. I-...I want to hug someone right now. I got to Yuuta's door thinking deeply as I was tired from the walk and still a bit sad about the Rosaline situation before. The desire of wanting to hug something was over powering me and when Yuuta was in sight I just couldn't hold back and here we are.

"Castiel...I'm glad your okay but I need to know, what happened to you and Rosaline?" Yuuta asked as I debated in my mind to tell him or not. I let out a sigh but Yuuta is a good man and he's a good friend, he deserves to hear the truth.

After I told him everything he seemed just about as upset at Rosaline like I was at the time. His tail puffed out in disgust and hate. He must have taken it very personally as he jumped out of his chair clenching his fist.

"I knew it. I knew she was no good! I should have her exiled or jailed! Not wanting to date you simply because you're too poor! HA! Like you're a trophy worth fighting for Rosaline! Castiel deserves better than you! Castiel can get anyone he wants and that person should feel like the luckiest person on earth to have such a great, noble, and capable man desire them!" Yuuta said proudly almost like forgetting I was there in the first place.

I couldn't help but blush and feel honored by Yuuta, a prince of renown, would say such things about me. My body shivered as I hesitated what to say next. My lips quivered for a moment before words finally started to some out of my mouth.

"Y-You really mean that Yuuta?" I asked almost thinking I was dreaming.

"Of course I do Castiel! You're the best looking and strongest guy I know! Nobles with all their time and riches come no wear close to you in looks and spirit!" He said proud of himself for defending me.

In most cases I would try to act humble as Yuuta reminds me a bit of the patrons at the low town bar boasting about how tough I am. I would try to stop the patrons but with Yuuta I-I just can't stop him...to hear him praise me was...heartwarming.

"T-...Thank you Yuuta, that really made me feel a lot better, Thank you." I said with a smile. Not just any regular smile but it felt familiar to me, it was like the smile I gave to my parents, that feeling of comfort and protection. I started to feel weak as my heart was racing almost wanting to jump out at Yuuta and hug him again...but this felt stronger than that.

"I-I need to hit something, I'm sure you need to too Castiel! Come on lets go hit some punching bags!" Yuuta said clenching his fists eager to train but I was drained at the moment, from Rosaline a bit but mostly from Yuuta's words. I felt too relaxed to train right now.

"Thank you Yuuta but I just wanted someone to talk to at the moment. Thanks for putting up with me, I know I must have been a pain." I said walking towards the entrance door as Yuuta followed me.

"You're not a bother Castiel, I'll listen to you anytime. I mean it." He said as I felt ready to melt on the spot. Yuuta opened the door for me and thankfully it looked like the rain had pass and even cracks of a clear nighttime sky were appearing.

As I began to walk out the door I felt something strain in my heart. I felt like I forgot to say something but I swear I told everything I wanted to tell Yuuta. My mind was barely keeping it a secret as my heart pressed onward and when I heard the castle door shutting I turned around and said.

"Yuuta! I would like to hang out with you more!" I said as Yuuta froze and looked at me stunned at what I said.

"W-What?" He asked as his tail began to twist and curl around his leg as if wondering if he heard right.

"I-I'm going to ignore women for awhile and...hang out with instead if that's okay?" I asked putting my head in shame as I knew Yuuta was a prince and-

"I'd like that Castiel. Let's hang out tomorrow after school." He said as my heart felt like feathers as I looked at him expecting an evil smile of trickery but it was a sincere caring smile. I felt a swarm of ways to thank him but all I could manage to say was.

"Thank you."

"Thank you Castiel. I look forward to it." He said closing the door...now it may have been just me but I could have sworn I saw Yuuta place his hand on his heart as if he was just granted a miracle...oh well Yuuta and I are really great friends and he must as happy as me to be hanging out more.

(Yuuta's view)

YES! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! CASTIEL IS SINGLE AND HE WANTS TO HANG OUT MORE! THANK YOU GOD! THANK YOU! IT WAS LIKE HE WAS READING MY MIND! LIKE HE COULD SEE THROUGH MY DEEPEST DESIRES! CASTIEL IS MINE! YAY! Now....

Now somehow, someway, I must try to seduce like the book said. Castiel said he'll be ignoring women and this is the best time to try my luck. I'm a prince of course and I could easily take care of him and let him move in-Heck! If it weren't for my over protective and possessive parents I would already have Castiel to myself.

I need to think of ways to make him become mine willingly hmm...I could try to lend him some clothes and let him join some of the royal parties. He did convince royals that he was a butler before and playing noble is hardly a step up from that so that might work and-

Oh who am I kidding those noble parties are boring! Sure Castiel and I would talk to each other a lot but there wouldn't be anything else to do except eat food and drink some wine. No a party should be one of the last options...maybe I should just let him decide what we do tomorrow.

I blushed to myself as I snuggled myself as my heart almost didn't believe what I was talking about, just this morning I was worrying about dying now I'm going to be around the sexiest human around. I didn't even try to stop my tail from twisting around my leg as I could just imagine walking and talking with Castiel...to see him shirtless and...

I started to go into a fantasy as I imagined ourselves on some beach the nobles use to get a tan, the view of the ocean and the perfect warmth of the sand and sun made the place a paradise and better yet my parents owned a couple mile long beach about 20 miles from here.

I could almost see Castiel and I going to the beach in a carriage playing games and joking around during the ride there. Then when we get there we get changed into our swim trunks. My swim trunks are the usual Michael colors, blue, gold and silver but I could see Castiel stepping out of the changing room in a black and red swim trunks but better of all to see his excellent physique.

I blushed a crimson red under my fur and I started purr and feel a stir in my pants. Castiel and I would then go into the water splashing water in all directions as we had a water fight then went diving. I see him and me looking at all the tropical and exotic types of aquatic life but I would always look at Castiel and his perfect body. Just staring at him for hours on end if my lungs would allow me.

Then after we had our fun in the water we would build a little camp with a fire as the sun was setting. Maybe fish being cooked in the fire as Castiel and I were still in our swim trunks and we would be talking about personal stories, dreams about our futures.

We could both tell we had secret feelings for the other but we also feared when it would be the best time to come out with it.

Then with the fire still going and the fire still going we lay down completely on the sand looking up at the beautiful stars still talking about each other and how we always admire and respected the other. Then as a last minute treat we would make smores with the dwindling fire.

Castiel dug into his smore and left a little bit of melt marshmellow on his face as he was oblivious about how silly he looks but he was dead sexy. Then after taking a bite into my smore I make a chance I lean over to him place my hand on his cheek as we look straight into the others eyes wondering if our deepest desires and fantasies were about to come true.

"You got something on your face...I'll get it" I say softly as lean my muzzle over to his lips and then like the marshmellow right off his lips with my tongue sending shockwaves of bliss of pleasure through my entire being. I grip down slightly on his cheek as he was taken aback from the lick kiss but didn't resist it either clearly enjoying it as much as I did.

Then after a several moments of a thorough and clean licking I take my tongue away and once again we look into each other's eyes both knowing what we wanted to say but both wanting the physical pleasure right now after such an action. Both of us wanted to say we loved the other but our physical desires got the better of us as Castiel wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into a kiss which I gladly received.

Both of us still in our swimtrunks and bodies pressed against the other as we began to moan from the incredible feeling by our lips against the other. Our tongue entwine and our breath was shared as our trunks pressed against the other showing our excitement as Castiel laid back on the sand pulling me along with him as I was on top of him moving my hand to remove his trunks with the moon light shining down on our bodies and-

A sudden loud ringing noise interrupted my greatest daydream ever as the clock read 10 PM meaning it was time to go asleep. I admit I was disappointed that my dream was ended sooner than I wanted it to be but the fact that Castiel and I made me happy enough to get to my room and pull the blankets over my body.

I wonder what were going to do? Maybe he has some special places he wants to go to! Maybe he wants a nice dinner date and a walk through the park, I could bring him to the high town park there are much lovelier flowers and plants there and hardly anyone goes to the park except on special days even though its open year round.

I giggled and purred like a little school girl as my tail tighten the grip around my leg and I hugged myself just fantasizing about all the possibilities and romance Castiel and I could share. I can't just come out to him but if I make ever chance count I could have him all to myself in the matter of days! No wait I want him to come to me when he wants to-oh what should I do?!?!

When morning struck I barely got any sleep but I was by no means tired what kept me awake was all the ideas and excitement of Castiel and I finally hanging out after school. I'll let him choose first but he doesn't know or decide then I will for him. Oh this is so going to be great!

When I got dressed and headed out the door I couldn't help but think of Castiel and what brought him to me in the first place. A sour and bitter mood took over me for a moment as I began to remember who made Castiel sad in the first place.

Damn Rosaline, if she even tries to do something to Castiel like report him I'll accuse her of being a liar. A word of a prince far outweighs her and when they hear about a prince defending a low town resident people would only be more inclined to believe my side of the story.

I suppose I kinda owe Rosaline for making Castiel realize he doesn't want to hang out with women for awhile and giving me my chance but still I wish it would have been on better terms. Oh well Castiel is strong like that...

I blushed again as I walked into the mid town and purred softly to myself remember my last daydream. To see his muscles and bare skin...oh you know I think I like everything about that beach plan except one thing...

I'll tell Castiel that it is a nude beach.

When I got into the classroom I saw Castiel sitting at his desk but our eyes went straight towards the other. He was hiding his mouth with his knuckles but I saw a friendly smile and soft eyes and it made me copy his expressions back. My tail swung around happily as I sat at my desk and looked at Castiel every chance I got during class.

I can't deny it...I'm head over heels for Castiel, I love him madly. I need to have him as my own. I can take care of him, spoil him, and give him everything he wants. These other people will never understand true love like I do for Castiel. I'm selfish but I can't help it...its got to be him.

Class both went by slowly and fast for me. The classes with Castiel seemed to fly by as I looked at him and thought about perverted fantasies but when he was gone the classes literally seemed to drag on. Without Castiel its like time itself slows down and gets depressed but when hes around it races and enjoys his presence.

Thankfully today was a nice sunny day and the rain puddles from last nights storm disappeared almost instantly. I took this as a good sign that the gods wanted me to be with Castiel and I swear not to let him down!

The school day ended and Castiel and I stayed in the classroom as everyone left, we still played rivals but as soon as the last student left the school doors I jumped up out of my seat and eagerly pulled a chair next to Castiel with my tail swinging side to side happily wondering what we should.

"Castiel! You ready to go hang out?! I'm so excited for this! Do you want to go somewhere first? Anywhere you want to go is fine with me!" I said happily like a child receiving the great Christmas gift. Castiel chuckled at my excitement and also got excited as he got up.

"Totally! I want to show you something I found when I was little!" He said which made me interested and curious. Something he found when he was little? Like some sort of item maybe? Hmm well what the heck! I'll do anything for and with Castiel!

"Alright lets go!" Castiel said as we left the school and then headed for low town. When we got to low town I had to wear a hat Castiel brought to hide my face but it still didn't hide my clothes from the low town people. They looked at me curiously but didn't seem bothered.

Castiel led me all the way out to the wilderness around Riften which had a forest and some high mountains along with streams and rivers. I never went out this far before and my clothes started to get stained with dirt, but I didn't mind Castiel and I were having a blast going out there while talking...he still wouldn't tell me what were going to.

"Come on Castiel! No secrets between friends! Just tell me!" I whined in a playful tone as Castiel pretended to be annoyed but was having as much fun as me.

"Do all you nobles complain this much?!" He said as we were going up a steep hill.

"But my clothes are getting ruined! I demanded compensation of you telling me where we're going to make up for the clothes cost!" I demanded as Castiel threw a little piece of dirt at me and we both chuckled happily.

"Come on princess! You afraid to get dirty? Don't worry they'll get clean at some point." He said making my pout like a child as he told me another unspecific thing...get clean again at some point? What does he mean?

We walked for about another 5 minutes before the sound of water reached my ears and when Castiel pushed some bushes out of the way I saw a beautiful and little majestic stream rushing through the forest. It didn't look that deep but I was in awe in the simply beauty of this place. Mother nature was far more beautiful than me but no where near as handsome as Castiel. I looked at Castiel with awe struck eyes thinking this is what he wanted to show me but he shook his head before I could ask.

"No Yuuta this isn't what I wanted you to see...come on we have to get across, it isn't that deep and your clothes will be clean of the dirt when you get across." He said jumping in the water that went up to his waist and he slowly walked across the lake.

I had a sudden fantasy to tackle him in the water like he was my prey and play with him in the water but I think that would go under 'coming on too fast' I jumped into the water thinking it would be ice cold but when I did it was actually quite relaxing! My tail that would usually puff out in cold water gladly let the current of the stream wash over it making me feel oh so relaxed.

The steady stream put my body at ease and it was just at the right temperature to not be too cold or too hot yet you can feel both as you relaxed your body. I started to make my way across about 10 feet from behind Castiel, most nobles would consider this disgusting and not worth it but I didn't mind at all. I like doing dirty things with Castiel I thought to myself as I purred at a different meaning in my heart and pants.

(Castiel's view)

I always enjoyed going across this stream, if it weren't so far away I would clean my clothes here but it would take too long to get it done. I looked back at Yuuta to make sure he was doing okay, strangely when I did he had a cat like grin on his face and looked like he was in some kind of trance. He looked fine thankfully he know to avoid...wait!

"Oh wait! Yuuta! Don't-!" I said trying to warn him about an underwater rock but it was too late. Yuuta tried to take his step but it was interrupted and he looked like he was going to fall over like a tree but I rushed over to him splashing water in all directions as I managed to reach him in time as his...

I blushed at what happened next, I felt my whole body tingle with excitement and I felt so warm I swear the stream water around me was going to boil. Yuuta's face landed on my chest and on instinct he wrapped his arms around me to keep him above the water. He held on to me like he was my lover and...and...his fur was...so soft, I had my arms around his back and for the first time I realized how soft and nice his fur was.

From a distance I bet this look romantic...one person rest his head against the others chest in the middle of a beautiful stream...I felt an impulse to look at Yuuta and pull him into a kiss...I think I almost I-...WAIT! WITH YUUTA! HOLD ON! THIS WAS AN ACCIDENT!

I pushed Yuuta back on his feet as we both looked away realizing how awkward that position was for the both of us...but it still felt so nice to have him rest his head against me...I almost want him to do it again.

"Ummm...sorry I should have told you about that rock, I tripped on it a few times myself." I said scratching my arm to take away the strange tingling in my body. Yuuta began to scratch the back of his head and I think we could both tell the other was blushing.

"Its....okay I should have known. Thanks for umm being there to catch me." He said as we both stood there in awkward silence, only the sound of water rushing keeping us from going deaf with silence.

"H-here listen I've been meaning to remove that rock but...I'm not strong enough...c-could you help me?" I asked as Yuuta looked at me somewhat shocked but he nodded his head in agreement.

We made our way to opposite ends of the rock facing Yuuta who took a few deep breaths preparing himself for a heavy lift, I did too as all the times I tried to remove the rock were futile but hopefully with someone as strong as Yuuta we could easily get the rock out.

Yuuta submerged his arms in the water placing a grip on the rock as did I and we both looked at each other.

"On 3......1............2.............3!" Yuuta said as we both started jerking upward and we already felt the rock coming loose but the dirt was so strong it was almost like it was handing on by a rope. Yuuta and I continued our efforts feeling the rock get looser and looser until finally with a unison of our muscles we both gave a burst upward and the rock was lifted out of the water and thrown on the nearby earth

I would have said that was a victory if only I let go of the rock sooner and didn't underestimate Yuuta's strength. When the rock came loose Yuuta tried to throw it behind him but I removed my grip to late as I flown right into him and we both landed on the shoreline.

Things were happening so fast but when I finally regained reality I found myself laying right onto of Yuuta with my head on his chest this time! With both of our clothes soaked and both us stunned beyond words all we managed to say was.

"U-Uummm" We both stuttered as I suddenly felt a loud beat...from Yuuta's chest. The beats were getting louder and faster as I felt Yuuta giving off heat from his chest and...I felt sleepy for some reason...like I wanted him to hold me and cover myself in his warmth. I was lost for a moment on top of Yuuta before a woodpecker attacking some wood on a nearby tree snapped me back into reality.

I jumped off of Yuuta utterly embarrassed out of my mind but when I did I felt cold. I almost wanted to jump back on top of him but...he could never be interested in someone like me.

"I'm sorry Yuuta, I should have let go sooner instead of letting myself getting flown into you. It was a dumb mistake." I said trying to hide my blush but I knew it wasn't working.

"Um no its okay...I didn't mind it too much...glad we got that rock out of the water though" Yuuta said awkwardly as there was another silence between us.

Why are we having accidents like this? Its almost like fate wants me to fail! Its like fate wants me to admit having secret feelings for Yuuta but I know such strong, handsome, and smart tiger like him could never see me as a lover! I have to fight this out, I have to beat this bad luck chain until it is obvious that Yuuta doesn't have the same feelings for me.

(Yuuta's view)

Oh thank you fate! Thank you! As if it weren't great enough that I could land on that sexy human's chest you make him land on my chest moments later! Even if they were accidents it was still the best feeling in my life! I hope we run into more accidents like that! Like maybe Castiel runs into sharp bushes and can't wear his shirt anymore...I think I would also run into those bushes so I could find the same excuse. Then I could get us intentionally lost for awhile and have to set up camp in the forest. Then I'll say something like

"The fire won't keep us warm enough Castiel...we should cuddle for body heat" I thought to myself as I imagined the scenario in my head.

Castiel suggested we should move on and show me this 'thing' he wanted me to look at. He still wouldn't tell after all that but I was satisfied at the moment. We walked for about another hour going up some more hills and bushes before I could see sunlight peaking through the trees.

"Were just about there Yuuta" Castiel said with a smile as the sunlight was so bright I had to cover my eyes for a moment and when we pierced through the edge of the last trees....my breath was taken away.

Castiel and I found ourselves on top of a big hill overlooking Riften and the area surrounding it. You could see the endless fields of wheat of gold and the distant forests of green. The city of Riften in the middle of it, a beacon among the rest but still a beautiful yet small in its own way compared to the surrounding wilderness. It made me feel...small yet nature was allowing me to take a magnificent view of this heavenly scenery. There was hardly a cloud in the sky as the sun as nearing its sunset as it reminded me of fantasy or perfect romance settings I-

R-romance....I almost wish Castiel showed me this as...

"Its beautiful isn't it Yuuta?" Castiel asked in a trance but clearly he had been here before.

"Yes its completely majestic. It makes me feel so small yet special that I can see such a lovely view of nature. I feel....lost yet in heaven." I said in a trance as Castiel gave a soft giggle

"Yeah that's pretty much what I thought when I first saw this. As a kid I couldn't help but stare out at the wilderness and imagine the whole world beyond this place, I've never lived outside of Riften but...part of me is conflicted. Some part of me wants to stay and admire the beauty of Riften territory but another part of me wants to see the rest of the world...I love this place Yuuta." He said as my heart jumped.

"I think I love this place too Castiel, thanks for showing it to me." I said hanging my head slightly as I was still in awe of the view but that last thing Castiel...I wish-I wish he could look at me and say that but Castiel couldn't be interested in me...compared to him I'm ugly, uninteresting, and snobbish I-

"I-...almost love this place as much as you" I heard a faint soft voice say as I thought it was coming from Castiel's direction.

"Hm? D-Did you say something Castiel?" I asked wondering if maybe my ears were playing tricks on me. My heart began to race thinking maybe Castiel brought me out here to confess his undying love for me. I could have sworn I heard "I love this place as much as you"

Castiel jumped as I asked him and a blush came over his face as I thought maybe this was it...maybe he had returned feelings!

"Oh um...nothing. I think it was just a gust of wind or something." Castiel said as my tail that twisted around my leg in excitement went down and my happy expression turned into depression.

"Yeah....it must have been the wind." I said as we looked out at the view again.

(Castiel's view)

Idiot! Idiot!! IDIOT! You stupid fool! Why would you say something like that to yourself?! I was blessed by fate that Yuuta didn't hear what I said! If he heard that he would have started yelling and hitting me! I can't say things like that out loud! Not even if it's a soft whisper!

The walk back was awkward but we still chatted about other things but as soon as we parted ways and I got inside my house I crashed my head in frustration. What possibly makes you think someone like Yuuta would ever be interested in you Castiel?!

Am I?....am I really in love with you Yuuta? Do I have a crush on you? I thought about as I sat down against the wall looking into my hands wondering if I was....if I was really attracted to Yuuta. I remembered that I said I was off girls for awhile, a part of me wanted to go back to it but look at my options.

I couldn't handle another Rosaline incident...I thought that was meant to last but I was clearly wrong! Low town girls are...uninteresting to say the least and high town girls are not interested in me. Should I fall in love with another boy?

I remember what I said to myself if I ever did decide to be around a boy he would have to be strong, brave, gentle, and at least somewhat rich. I pondered at my options as I knew no boy would ever look at me in such a way. I don't really even have friends, more like bar pals...well there is Yuuta hes more than my bar friend I-

Well...he is certainly strong...and he is Michael and he is born to be brave, then gentle...Yuuta almost seems calmer than usual when I see him he looks relaxed and calm....does that mean hes gentle with me? Yuuta is definitely rich...he could easily take care of me but does he....

Does he even love me back?

I went to bed but I hardly got a wink of a sleep as I imagining me and Yuuta somehow together...could once pure born rivals become lovers? Would such a thing exist? If I overstepped my friendship I could be jailed if he wish...or worse. But why did he seem so okay with hanging out with me suddenly? Wouldn't a noble have so much to do that he would hardly have time for me? Yuuta are we friends or something...more?

When morning came I remembered it was a off day which meant no school and I would usually being doing chores, and since I've been around Yuuta more often I have a lot of work to make up. I hope the other low town residents don't mind working a bit without me.

My first task of the day was to wake up at 5 AM and go into town and retrieve my seed bags for planting season coming up pretty soon. The bags were always heavy and either I'm already getting old or the bags just keep on getting heavier and bigger!

I carried the three 70 pound bags to my house and placed them inside a closet were I will take them out in 2 weeks and use every single last seed. Next was to soften the dirt with my hoe.

I went outside and it was 6 AM and the heat of the sun was just about peaking in. I hate it when its hot, I don't mind working in the heat but when it gets above 90 degrees I start to get a bit cranky and overwork myself.

All farmers prefer planting season in the rain so the dirt is already soft and hoeing would be easy but it doesn't look like it this year. Instead of thinking about how much work this dirt would take I went back to Yuuta...A prince and a farmer...could they fall in love?

Its rumored that a few maids and common folk could get lucky with a noble but...I surely can't be one of them! Besides I am another guy! Yuuta couldn't possibly have any feelings for me besides a friend! But still to have him say something like "You are mine Castiel, don't move as I ravish your body and drown you in pleasure of touch" The thought of it made blush a bright red but...its just wild fantasies.

Before I knew I got lost in my fantasies and the hard ground work seemed to fly by even though over 3 hours passed. My next chore of the day was to wash my clothes in the river. Many of the low town residents don't have the luxury to order new clothes or have them professionally cleaned so we have no choice but to use the waterway separating low town from mid town. Its not so bad, its almost an necessary skill for most low town people now.

You could usually find people by the river with their scrubbers and cleaning rack along with buckets with their 'fresh clean' clothes and my way of cleaning was no different from anyone else. I grabbed my clean rack, my scrubber, and a big bucket load of my worn clothes and headed over to the waterway.

The water was strangely not the dirty considering people clean filth in it and sometimes throw trash in it. It almost seemed to move the pollutants along the river and made the water tolerable. No fish are in it of course but it is a great way for travel for merchants and sometimes peaceful.

I found myself standing in my usual washing spot and place my gear down on the ground and got to scrubbing and washing my clothes. It felt like a routine day for me, nothing out of the ordinary and nothing to special. Hmm maybe I could go visit Yuuta today and train some more? Hopefully if washing doesn't take to long I could in a few nice chats with him before the day is over.

I finished about one third of my dirty clothes load before my concentration was broken off by a distant voice.

"Hey! Castiel!" Someone shouted as I turned around to see who it was. I saw a figure waving up one of his hands trying to get my attention but he already kind of stood out. He had orange fur and...Oh ITS YUUTA!

"Yuuta! What are you doing here?!" I said waving up my hand while trying to scrub a bit with the other. Yuuta came over to me walking all cool like before sitting next to me.

"What are you doing?" He asked with his tail curled up in a ball.

"Just washing some clothes, I was just thinking about maybe going over to your place and working out a bit more if thats okay?" I asked as Yuuta's tail smack the ground in happiness and his happy grin said it all before he opened his mouth.

"Sure! Lets go right now!" He said standing up but I couldn't leave my clothes here. Yuuta looked at me a bit curiously.

"Whats the matter?" He asked as I got back to scrubbing.

"I have to finish washing my clothes. I was planning to go over after I got this done."

"When will you be done?"

"Well...I'm one third done and this has taken me awhile. Sorry but I think it'll be another hour or two." I said as his tail slumped down but his once happy grin turned into one of great displeasure.

"Well thats unacceptable, I have nothing to do today and I want to do something with you...do you need any help washing your clothes?" He asked as I stopped scrubbing and looked at him almost about ready to laugh.

"Yuuta washing clothes takes awhile to master. Your a prince and had your clothes washed for you or you simple got new ones." I said before realizing that sounded a bit harsh, I decided to change the mood with our fake rivalship.

"I mean after all, a prince would be a louzy washer and he couldn't possibly handle a scrubber." I said shrugging and with sarcastic voice as Yuuta looked down at me pretending to be offended. Suddenly he dropped down grabbed one of my dirty shirts and the cleaning rack.

"Oh Yeah?! Well I'll show you!" He said roughly scrubbing the shirt against the rack but his fake anger was cut off by the sound of a rip. He looked at the shirt and there was a tear from the armpit to the middle.

"Great you ruined one of my shirts. See I told you, you have to be both gentle yet tough enough to get the stains out. Here let me show you." I said taking the scrubber and cleaning rack from Yuuta as he looked a bit guilty for ruining one of my shirts but it was no big deal, I had plenty of poor shirts and they were bound to tear sometime soon.

I started to show Yuuta the proper technique to scrubbing clothes and he looked at my hands and arms carefully catching every detail and specific movement. I handed him the cleaning supplies again and he clearly put more effort into getting it right but his scrubbing was off by a bit.

"Yeah thats about right here like this" I said going behind him and he seemed to froze as I place my hand on top of his and led his hand the way I scrub clothes. I was oblivious to the fact that my chest was right against his back until I felt his fur stood up in embarrassment before I realized the position we were in. I stepped back almost not believing the last few moments just happened as Yuuta seem troubled as much as me.

"S-So yeah just like that." I said before Yuuta nodded his head and we got back to cleaning.

When we were done washing clothes Yuuta tore through 3 more shirts but it really didn't matter, I tried to change the mood of the washing scene by teasing him about ripping my clothes. But as I lifted all my supplies back home I felt conflicted...it was awkward but I would really like to be in another position like that with Yuuta again.

I set the supplies down in my house and headed right back outside. Yuuta said he would be waiting on the bridge separating low town from mid town so we could go train again in his castle. I was happy though my heart and mind were feeling a bit out of place...I really enjoyed being around Yuuta...even if he doesn't feel the same way I do about him its great to still be around him.

(Yuuta's view)

What I wouldn't give to go back in time and relive that moment over and over again. The very touch of Castiel on my back...to feel his warmth and toughness against me, ohhh it gives me shivers just thinking about it.

Castiel caught up with me on the bridge and we headed to my castle but he didn't bring up the position we were in awhile ago...maybe it wasn't a big deal to him as much as it was to me. We arrived to the castle and entered the gym again. Castiel and I got changed in different rooms this time as he suggested working on our kicks with each other. I offered to place pads on my arms first to work on his high kicks.

I really tried to my best to ignore his chest as we talked throughout the training but his muscles were almost like calling out to me for my attention.

"-Planting season will be a bit tough this year because of how hot it is but if we get another storm like the one a couple of days ago I might have more time to be around you." Castiel said delivering a kick to my face but I blocked them with the pads. The force of the kicks knocked me back into reality but his chest brought me just as quickly out of it.

"Y-Yeah" I said once again looking into his chest as Castiel continued to kick oblivious to my staring. It felt more like torture to be able to be so close to his bare chest with mine but not tackle him down and claim him as my own. Castiel's talking was nothing more but a distant voice as I imagined us actually in a little fight.

We were in the same ring we are right now and both of us looked tired and sweaty, neither of us looked injured or bruised but we were both clearly in a exhausting fight. Castiel pushed me to the ropes and pressed me against them. Both of our sweaty but excellent fit chest against the other as he wrapped his arms against resting his head against my chest and I rested my head on the top of his, both of us were panting and breathing loudly and it seemed like both of us were drained from all energy and effort. But still to imagine his gorgeous body against mine was still a major win for me...

I think we both rested there for several moments as I could tell we were smack talking each other. Both of us giving competitive glares at each other.

"You can't beat me Yuuta" Castiel said giving a smirk

"And you can't beat me Castiel...look at us, we're both equal matches in strength and speed what chance do you think you have to beat me?" I asked giving him a glare as he glared back not knowing what to say back as he knew it was true too.

"O-Oh Yeah?! Well...I......Take this!" He said before placing his lips against mine and for a moment stunning me as dominated my mouth. I let his tongue beat mine for a moment as I was lost in the fiery romance and passion as me fighters side took over again...but in a different way.

"Oh yeah?! Thats nothing! Take this" I said inbetween breaths as I hugged Castiel tight and he did the same as a new fight was taking place...but this time with our tongues and lips and the ring was inside our mouths. We both began moaning as our hands explored the others body and muscles.

Despite taking a new turn in our fight it did nothing to settle the stalemate between us as neither our tongues could take and hold an advantage over the other. I felt both us getting so warm that our true passionate warrior types taking over as we looked at the other pretty much forgetting about the previous fight and it was all about who could love and ravish the other more. I took a few steps forward as Castiel slipped back and fell the ground but we didn't part lips or tongue the whole time as I was on top of him and-

"Yuuta heads up!" Castiel said noticing my blank face and with a splint second I saw his foot heading for my upper arm while my pads were only covering my chest. I saw Castiel trying to take back the kick but it was too late. I tried to get my pads up in time to defend myself but his kicked slid off the top of the pads and landed its mark on my upper arm. I let out a grunt in pain as Castiel took back the kick and looked horrified that he might of broken my arm or something.

It wasn't that bad, probably a bruise but nothing too bad. I dropped the pad and touched my inflicted area with my other hand. I let out another grunt, yep definitely a bruise. Castiel looked at me and started apologizing like crazy.

"I-I'm so sorry Yuuta! I thought you were ready! I didn't think I kicked that hard! I didn't mean to honest I-"

"Its alright Castiel, it was my fault anyway I got distracted and let my guard down...yeah I think your high kick has enough power." I said touching my arm again as Castiel still looked guilty. I chuckled a bit thinking that maybe he forgot about how physical we really were.

"Castiel don't look so sad...what do you want me to hit you back in order to be fair?" I asked as Castiel nodded like a true warrior. It made sense because Castiel is the warrior type and believes the old warrior code of an eye for an eye. Hmm hit Castiel in some way...I went back to my fantasy and I decided to get something out of this mistake when I could I stood up so did Castiel. I then charged at him and tackled him to the floor as he landed with a grunt and looked up to see me on top of him...both of our chests together. I smiled evilly as I was now experiencing a fantasy...my chest against his....

Oh it was true! His chest was so hard and smooth! I liked this, I liked being on top of him, I liked both of us shirtless and sweaty. I wanted to start humping him slowly and remove our shorts but Castiel's breath that was mere inches away from my face brought me out of it...no...not like this...

"There...we're even" I said getting up and giving him a hand as Castiel look distant like he too was experiencing a dream.

"Y-Yeah. Were even now. See you tomorrow?" He asked as I smiled.

"You know it."

When Castiel got dressed and left I touched my chest softly not believing what I did. Oh maybe I should do that all the time! Let him 'accidentally' hit me and in return I get to tackle him down and press our chests together...no wait better yet! I remembered a book I read about ancient Tigers. Oh I could imagine telling him what I read in the book. I imagined he was in the gym looking around as I laid out a wrestling mat looking at him with a serious glare. He looked a bit confused but looked ready for a fight...but I had something special planned.

"So Yuuta you really want to wrestle huh? Fine I guess I'll go get changed and-" He said about ready to go over to the changing room as I nonchalantly said.

"Oh no...were having a special kind of wrestling match. Get over here" I said as he Castiel came over curious about this as I smiled with a lustful grin

"Special kind of wrestling match?" Castiel repeated as I told what I found in that book

"You know in ancient times when Tigers were tribal they had special ceremonies. One was a wrestling match for pure rivals." I said as Castiel looked at me and nodded.

"It was usual rules, no punching or kicking, just grappling and holding, winner was decided if opponent was pinned for ten seconds, knocked out,or surrendered but there was one thing they particularly believed in..." I said with a teasing cat like grin as my tail wrapped around my leg.

"What was that?" Castiel asked.

"They believe the match should be held purely and the opponents were their true selves meaning they wrestled........naked."

In real life I snuggled myself closely and my tail was twisting around my legs so hard imagining the possibility of Castiel and I ever wrestling naked...but of course I wouldn't share the what the winner could do to the loser until after he or I won...well who ever would win in that match I would feel like a winner either way...

(Castiel's view)

Thank goodness Yuuta wasn't listening to my heart during that! If he did he would have felt it race like crazy as I was tackled down by him and he pressed his massive chest against mine. I never thought I would enjoy someone beating me like that! I-I never would have thought to enjoy the idea of anyone on top of me but-but it was soooo nice.

Yuuta's muscle fur against my body, if I had some potion or way for me to control him for a day without remembering any of it I would have let him handled me right there.

I blushed and stopped right in the middle of the street as I thought that....l-l-let him h-handled me?!?! What is wrong with me?! How can I even think that?! It was only fair he returned a blow for me accidentally hitting him thats all! How far are my fantasies going to go?! We're not even dating and already I'm thinking about-ARRGGGHH!

I was frustrated at myself, not at Yuuta. Yuuta is just being himself and I am dreaming about personal desires! What am I going to do? I don't know if I'm a person who can usually contain themselves and have self control, I've never been greedy about anything until Yuuta...I-I just can't get enough of him.

On the bridge I thought very hard about myself and Yuuta...could-could love exist between such different people? I'm a low town scum and he's a legendary prince...but...at the same time I-I want-...I want to be his, I know how unlikely it is, I know how fortunate to just be his friend but these feelings...

I-I....I love Yuuta. I'm not ashamed of myself for thinking it. Yuuta is rich, handsome, strong, brave, funny, and kind...everything I wanted my true lover to be like he probably wants the same...but look at me poor, barely able to get and hold a girl, weak, cowardly in my heart and mind, awkward to be around, and greedy about him...I'm the complete opposite from him. Looks like friends will be the furthest I'll get.

As I walked home I started to accept the idea of just being friends with Yuuta, but that doesn't mean we can still have fun and hang out! When I got to my house I noticed something on the front door. When I got closer it looked like a box, a package.

I picked it up and it was fairly small...hmm did maybe someone send me a thank you for helping them? Didn't I tell them I don't need something in return for kindness? Despite receiving such gifts before there was something different about this one. It was cleaner than the other packages before. It wasn't that large it was barely bigger than my hand.

It didn't have a name of who sent it but it did have my name on it. I debated a bit in my mind but curiosity got the better of me as I went inside my house with the small box and placed it on my table and opened it. Inside was a smaller box but this box was clearly not from a low town person.

The outside box was made of a special black leather that I had never seen before and on top of the box was a mystical symbol written in gold on top. Curiosity got the better of me again as I opened the extravagant box and I couldn't believe my eyes!

It was a beauty amulet! It looked like it was made of pure gold and there was a strange looking symbol from the golden chain. I couldn't possibly describe all the swirls and curves the lines did but it made an beautiful symbol of some kind and I knew it must of meant something to the person. At the bottom of the box was a note and it looked royally written it read

I give you this because our time together though quick meant a lot to me. Enjoy my gift.

Hmm it didn't say who it was from but...oh it must obviously must be from Yuuta! Only he could get something like this, that or someone else noble but I really don't know any royal people so I guess Yuuta must be the sender. He didn't have to get me anything! Still I don't want to seem ungrateful for the gift.

I think I'll wear this tomorrow! The school is looking for some cleaners to organize the place and Yuuta and I volunteered. Strange...in most cases I would turn away such a gift like this but when it comes from Yuuta...I-I want to keep it, I-I'm selfish I want it all to myself its special to me...

(Yuuta's view)

I awoke early and went to school early so I could some of the cleaning done and get time to talk to Castiel more rather than work. A few teachers and other students were around but I don't think we'll have to be worried about being caught talking.

You know...I've been thinking about if I should really worry about being around Castiel in the middle of school. I mean for the top 2 students of the class to talk and be friends is that really so strange? Maybe I should try to be friends in public! Besides we're the best fighters in class and anyone who tries to give us trouble will have to get through us! I should ask Castiel if he wants to come out being friends.

I got finished putting away and organizing the books in my assigned classrooms and the next task for me was to mop the hallways. Midway through I heard someone say from behind.

"Hey Yuuta you must have got here early!" Castiel's voice said as I smiled to myself.

"Yeah I did I looked at your assignments and the first thing you have to do is-...." I said turning to him but when I saw him I froze...Everything about him was sexy and handsome as usual but....th-that amulet...where did he get that amulet?! WHAT IS HE DOING WEARING SUCH A THING IN PUBLIC?!

"W-What is that around your neck?" I asked as I was shaking in fear.

"Oh this I got it yesterday and I wanted to thank you for sending it to me." He said as I was now both confused and angry at him. D-Doesn't he know what he's wearing?!

Wait! Of course he doesn't know! This is a noble and royalty knowledge! He's wearing a property crest! Nobles put these around their pets to show ownership but when it comes to a human being its like almost saying-...saying that Castiel is like their sex slave or something! Theres no way in hell I would ever give such a thing to him!

This is bad! If any noble people see this they'll laugh at him! His honor is on the line and I must save him! Aren't you suppose to be smart Castiel?! Aren't you suppose to know everything?! Or do you know and your doing this to mock my feelings for you?!

I was pretty sure Castiel really didn't know what he was wearing but still I was jealous! No noble besides me should have him wear such a thing and he is not my property! He is simply mine! No! I won't allow Castiel to wear such a thing! EVER!

"Castiel! I-" I said before noticing a few students walking by also cleaning up and they noticed us talking in the hallway. They looked at us expecting us to fight but I didn't want people to see him. Castiel was about to turn and look at the people I was staring at but I quickly dropped the mop and grabbed his arm and started to almost drag him to a different place. I can't tell him off in a place like this!

"Castiel I need to talk to you in private." I said with a growl as he looked at me a bit frightened. From behind me I could hear the students gossiping and whispering to themselves.

"Oh man I really hope they don't get into a fight." A panther male said.

"No I think I see whats going on. It makes sooo much sense now! Castiel and Yuuta, pure born rivals and hatreds in public but in private passionate and romantic lovers. Holding and kissing the other and-oohh" A female fox said giggling as the male panther looked at her with somewhat disgusted eyes.

"Yeah right! Are you joking?! Castiel and Yuuta falling for each other?! Trust me in about a minute your going to here crashes and things breaking when they fight." The male panther said looking triumphant

"No that will be the aggressive loving." She said as the panther blushed at the blunt comment.

Eventually I couldn't hear them anymore and I lead Castiel into a hallway that sounded and looked deserted. I let go of his arm but I couldn't bare to look at him. I didn't know how to put this but I have to get the message out.

"Ouch! Yuuta what was that for?! Why were you dragging me?!" Castiel asked as I muttered.

"Take it off." I said lowly.

"What?"

"You heard me take it off!" I said pointing to the amulet. Castiel grabbed it, looked at it for a moment then protected by closing his hand.

"No I want to keep it on!" Castiel said back.

"I'm not asking you again! Take it off!" I demanded but Castiel quickly hid it behind his shirt but I growled not liking this resistance he was giving me.

"No!"

"I swear I'll rip it off!" I said getting closer to him.

"No please don't!" Castiel said as I tried to rip open his shirt but he blocked it using his hands and before I knew It we were in a tussle. I was using all my force to make sure Castiel's honor is intact but he is resisting me!

"Take it off right now! I want you to rip it off right now!" I said stepping for forward.

"No please!" Castiel said taking a step back but he slipped down and I got on top of him trying my best to get the amulet underneath his shirt but so far it looks impossible!

"Thats it! I'm going to rip your shirt off!" I growled loudly as I placed my hands on his shirt and started to pull hearing a tear starting. Castiel looked a bit helpless.

"No please! You always rip my shirts! Why do you always rip open my shirts?!" He begged as he referred to the time when I was washing shirts with him at the river. It only gave me more motivation to get the amulet off of him.

"I don't care! I'll rip open your shirts whenever I want to! Now take it off now!" I demanded but Castiel got a bit defensive too and place his hands on my shirt.

"Oh Yeah lets see how you like it!" He said also starting a tear.

"See what I care!" I said before completely ripping open Castiels shirt as Castiel succeeded in ripping my shirt half way. Castiel struggled to keep the amulet away from my hands but I had to do this! To keep his honor! But his damn hands kept block mine! In frustration I grabbed both of his hands with mine and pinned them down to the ground as I growled loudly.

"You think I like doing this to you?...you know I think I do, I'll do it some more!" I said not realizing what I was saying as Castiel and I gave glares at each other, just as Castiel was about to speak a door were in front of slid open.

Castiel and I froze but we both looked up to see a teacher looking at us and she blushed a bright red. Why is she blushing when-...oh no. I forgot all about the position Castiel and I looked in right now. Castiel with his shirt ripped open and mine half way ripped open....me on top of him and pinning his arms down....OH DEAR GOD! WHAT WERE THINKING?!?!

Castiel and I looked at each other then down at each others chest then back at each other and we blushed at what we were just doing...and probably how we even sounded...take it off....please don't?...oh gods it probably sounded like Castiel was the helpless submissive while I was the aggressive dominate! AND WORSE WE'RE DOING THIS RIGHT IN FRONT OF A TEACHER THE WHOLE TIME!!!!

I got off of Castiel and we both started to pleade with the teacher.

"NO WAIT! THIS ISN'T WHAT IT SEEMS!" Castiel begged.

"IT WAS JUST A MISUNDERSTANDING! I WAS JUST TRYING TO GET HIS AMULET!" I begged at the teacher back who was still shocked and stunned to see us in such a way.

Wait...the amulet! With one quick reflex I reached out my paw and ripped off Castiel's amulet and he looked at me realizing I had won the 'fight' either way. The teacher looked at us with a blank stare before coming back to reality.

"Oh um...wow I guess it makes sense now. I mean at first I thought you two were such bitter rivals but it makes sense now. You two are just aggressive with each other." She said with a blush as Castiel and I felt ready to die in embarrassment.

"THATS NOT HOW ITS LIKE!!!" We both yelled in unison as the teacher giggled.

"Oh if I had just let you go on I might have seen a little more clothes tearing" She said as Castiel and I knew it was helpless at this point.

"P-Please don't tell anyone...I'll pay you whatever you want. Castiel and I aren't like that but please don't spread this incident around." I admitted defeated but the teacher giggled again.

"Oh don't worry this place was getting a bit boring anyway. Your secret is safe with me....oh and if you two really wanted to go that aggressive with each other you can always use a classroom, just make sure you clean up the mess." She teased as Castiel and I were about ready to faint but we only stood there in complete awkward silence.

I should have handled that better. I should have told him the truth. I have to now.

"Castiel theres something about this amulet I have to tell you..." I said breaking the silence.

I told him everything about how this is a noble amulet but not my amulet. I told him its meant for a pet rather than decoration and he understood wanting to protect his honor even though he admitted I could have handled it better.

Gods ripping off his shirt like that without a reason. Of course people are going to get the wrong idea like that! Still....I really didn't mind it though...I was in some sort of trance or dream when I was doing it like....I was meant to do it.

How many more accidents are we going to have like this?! Can I really contain my deepest desires?! I have to hold out for Castiel! I have to make it up to him somehow! Maybe I could invite him to another royal party! But this time as a noble! No maybe more like a knight or bodyguard! He certainly has the skill for being a knight and my bodyguard and I certainly wouldn't mind his body guarding...no more perverted thoughts Yuuta you promised yourself.

Castiel went into the boys locker room and put on one of his spare shirts as we were still a bit awkward around the other. They totally got the wrong idea...well...at least for his case. They can go ahead and say I loved him, that was true, but he they say he loves me Castiel might-might go away from me...the party is the only way to fix this right now.

"Castiel....I know this might be a bad time to ask but...would you mind coming to a royal party tonight? Dressed like a knight or bodyguard? I-I would really like you around and get a chance to apologize to you. I-I have to make it up to you for todays incident!" I confessed as Castiel looked at me but hid his face.

"Y-Yeah I would really enjoy that...should I sneak in?" He asked as I could tell he was still probably upset with me.

"Yeah just come in a bit early. They will arrive at 5 PM so come in at 4 or so...I'm sorry Castiel" I said

"I-its alright Yuuta its no big deal" he said as I walked away saddened.

(Castiel's view)

Thats right....it would be such a big deal to you...your not the one in love Yuuta. I-I was lost in my desires when you forced yourself upon me, how easily you handled me. I-I can't...I can't say I love because of how much I respect you and your Michael honor but-but my heart wants to just say it!

Maybe a nice party is all I need. Yeah just go to the party and realize your place in life Castiel...realize how far Yuuta is away from you...

Hours pass before I made my way to the castle after Yuuta got done with his school chores early and I looked at the massive doors again....they were so high and mighty...compared to my house door its just...its like a symbol of how different we were. Yuuta tall and proud and me...small and unnoticed.

I opened the door to see Yuuta already right there and eager to make up for today's incident.

"Good I was worried maybe you wouldn't show. I picked out the best armor to suit out a human. You can wear your average clothes beneath it. Here in the dressing room." he said but I knew where to go thanks to the butler day....I still chuckle at how I fooled everyone...maybe this time will be easy too.

When I got into the dressing room I saw something that made my jaw drop. It was indeed a suit of armor the likes of which I had heard of in fairy tales! It was pure silver with golden strikes that formed mystical vines like from an enchanted garden and beneath the beautiful armor was elegant silk and it looked suited for a king not just some average knight.

"I'll give you some time to put it on." Yuuta said leaving the room as I started to put on the outfit.

A while passed before the whole thing was on but it felt different to what I was use too. It was actually lighter than I expected and the silk hardly felt noticeable. I was worried I put it on wrong somehow, I decided the only way to know for sure was to ask Yuuta. I walked out of the dressing room to see Yuuta.

"Yuuta did I put this on right I-..." I said before noticing him in an elegant prince suit. It was blue silver and gold like the Michael colors but there was something different. There were more silks on it than usual and it looked completely new.

I knew something now...Yuuta was prince charming...he was the one you hear about every girl in the world trying to get, that handsome prince thats so kind and gentle but noble and proud. You didn't need the prince suit to tell you that. Then theres me...how has to use a suit of armor to hope to impress. I truly am nothing compared to you Yuuta.

I was waiting for Yuuta to say something but he looked entranced when I came out. He looked at me so closely as if my beauty was anywhere near his. I was pathetic compared to him, he doesn't need to act humble but I should still be thankful that he is such a great friend to do this for me.

"C-Castiel you-you look...amazing" He said touching his heart as I blushed as I looked at him.

"No you are clearly the one who is amazing here Yuuta. So..I have some questions...did I put this on right? It feels lighter than armor should be."

"Thats just party armor Castiel knights here get two sets of armor, one for battle and one for parties. Sorry its consider barbaric to wear battle armor in a party so...I hope you don't mind." Yuuta said looking away and he looked speechless as he glanced at me every so often.

"Also...what should I tell the others? I mean I can't tell them the whole truth can I?"

"No but Castiel...Listen I want to tell a bit of the truth....that your from low town. I'm going to lie about your name but everything else I'll tell them the truth. This is party from different places in the continent there sure not to recognize who you are. And Castiel...lets have fun." Yuuta said with a smile as I smiled back.

"Of course my lord." I said acting knightly.

(Yuuta's view)

The party began quickly as the castle was getting fill of knights and nobles from other kingdoms. Castiel stood beside me and thankfully unlike the butler day he could actually talk to me freely. We were actually having fun as we tried the royal food with Castiel around everything seemed better, the food, the music, the wine, even the entire mood of the party seemed livelier and better with him around.

Castiel's suit got some praise from nobles and other knights, most of which who were males though as I knew he didn't want females around him. But then again...Castiel could be waiting for that special someone in one of these parties.

Castiel...you look so handsome and noble in that armor its no wonder you could fool these people, royalty is in your blood, you deserve to be famous and rich after all the work you've done. Everything you are is noble and royal. Why?...Why can't I have you as my own?

Everything seemed to be going well. Mother and Father were off doing there own thing and I could just lie to them about Castiel from being out of town if they noticed me being around this particular handsome knight for so long. Castiel you are the knight the princess hopes for in childrens tales...I almost wish some dragon or evil wizard to kidnap me now and for you to save me and we could kiss.

I-I can't hide these dreams about you and me together in my head but you simply to good to be mine...you are so much better than me. The party was coming to an end and a few nobles were already leaving. Right now it was what we called the hangover or relaxing stage of the parties.

Castiel and I sat down besides 3 other nobles one human, one lion, and a one cheetah. They looked quite smug but hopefully they'll leave soon. When Castiel and I sat down they instantly looked at us.

"Prince Yuuta Michaels! I must say this party was simply wonderful! It seemed more livelier and happier this time for some reason!" The human one said as I nodded my head.

"Thank you Togar Kingsdred. I noticed that too." I replied to him playing with my empty wine glass.

"How is this you're beside? I don't believe I've seen him at any of my parties before. You were around awfully a lot during the party I saw" The cheetah said as Castiel introduced himself.

"I am Sir Tristan. I am new in the knight order and this is my first parties my sirs. It is a great honor to be here." He said as the human and cheetah tipped there glasses but the lion only narrowed his eyes.

"Tristan actually hales from here, I have never seen such a knight like him before. I actually dueled him a few times and I think we'll be well protected if we had more knights like him." I said as Castiel smiled at the compliment.

"From where in Riften does Tristan hail?" The lion suddenly asked as Castiel and I both paused but he came out with it first.

"I hail from low town sir, I am not that rich but it was always my dream to be at a royal party someday." Castiel said as all the other nobles started to-to glare.

"You came from low town?" They asked

"Yes low town." Castiel said as the all gave evil grins.

"Oh you must be strong in order to get out of that dumpster. Tell me how was it like living in such filth?" The lion asked as I started to get offended.

"Kregan! You will not speak such-" I said as Castiel grabbed my arm to show he was actually alright with it. Thats right I always use to taunt him from being from low town when we were rivals. I suppose these nobles won't tell him anything he's already heard from me.

"It was difficult sir but I got out and now I am here." Castiel said not looking the least bit offended and the others noticed it too.

"Indeed but the filth is still in you. You are not noble born!" The lion said.

"I do not need to be royal born in order to be a good warrior."

When we said that...I knew in my heart for certain that he was correct. Castiel is better than all these people. If they were the ones offending me I would killed them by now but Castiel cane show such patience!

"Sure but your parents are nothing more but pigs!" The lions said as Castiel's wide widened and everyone in the chairs including myself notice a hit had been made.

"E-Excuse me?" Castiel asked

"Your parents. I mean you must be better than them in some regard in order to be here but your father must not have been a man himself in order to make it himself. Your mother though must have been a harlot as I can only imagine such a woman being with such a failure like your father." He said as Castiel was almost visibly shaking and I saw his fist clench around his leg.

"I-I-"Castiel stuttered as I was about to tell them to stop.

"Where are your parents? I heard awhile ago there was a plague here and much of low town was...oh...let me guess...your parents were killed in the plague. Strange though you would think such people who were use to filth would be immune to such a thing." He said as Castiel...his eyes...they were watering up.

" Hmm I bet it must have been awful living with the fact that if you were born only sooner that maybe you could have moved them to somewhere like mid town at lease to save them. You are a knight but you can't save the very ones you love." The lion said as I noticed Castiel and I were sitting below a decoration with a real sword...I-I was considering to kill this lion on the spot.

"Oh sir Tristan...you must have something in your eyes because it looks like your about to cry. A knigt crying...isn't that considered shameful in the knight order? Your a man aren't you? You could probably never hold onto a woman if you wanted too." The lion said as Castiel gasped remembering Rosaline probably.

"KREGAN I TOLD YOU TO-" I shouted before Castiel stood up and said.

"Excuse me my lords...I need to be alone for a moment." he said hiding his face but when looked at me for a quick glance I saw-...I saw the thing I never wanted to see...Castiel crying. His tears staining his gorgeous face as he walked away and the other nobles giggled to themselves.

"Why would a low town-any low town born be invited to a-" The lion mocked as I stood up also grabbed the sword above me and pointed it at Kregan. Kregan looked at me stunned that I was visibly threatening him. No one else except me and the 2 others were around so I didn't have to worry about shaming mother and father.

"P-Prince Yuuta! What are you doing?!" Kregan asked as the other were as shocked as him.

"Draw your blade..." I demanded as he looked around nearly panicking.

"W-W-What do you mean I was just-"

"Draw your blade or leave..."

"Y-You can't be serious! What did I ever do to-"

"You destroyed one of my friends honor...now pick up a blade and die...or leave" I growled meaning every word.

"I-i don't have to leave. I'll call your parents and-"

I pressed the tip of the blade right against his throat as he was whimpering as the others stood back thinking they were next. The lion whimpered like a child.

"Either draw your blade like a man for run like a coward...DO IT! SEE IF YOU CAN TAKE ON A MICHAEL IN A DUEL!" I threatened as I saw water on the chair...the stain leading up too his pants around his groin area. I growled again and pulled the blade back.

"Such a pathetic excuse of a noble like you isn't worth dueling...leave....before I change my mind...and none of you are ever to come back here or else I will kill you!" I shouted as the all got up and ran for their lives...it felt good to scare them like that...serves them right!

Just as quickly as those cowards took off running my mind went back to Castiel. I entered the hallway he left and I saw a piece of his armor on the ground. I followed the trail and I found all the scattered pieces of the once magnificent armor on the ground...left behind....torn apart.

The pieces lead outside into the garden area and it didn't take me long to spot Castiel...he was sitting on the fountain as night took over and the moonlight brightened the water to a mysitcal blue color. Fireflies were dancing around the flowers and exotic plants blew to the wind....despite all the beauty around me I was focused on Castiel...I-I heard sobs and sniffles coming from the fountain as my tail slumped down in pity for Castiel.

I ruined everything if we had only leave early this party would have been great. Now here he is broken...I am such a terrible friend.

I-I had to make him feel better somehow. I might have insulted him about being from low town but I never went so far as to insult his parents. Its just cowardly, I'm starting to regret not killing those nobles already.

I went over to Castiel and in most cases he would try to wipe away his tears and act tough but he didn't even hide it...he just looked up and looked back down. I felt an overwhelming feeling of pity and sadness.

"Castiel...I'm so sorry for letting it get out of hand like that. I should stop him the second he mentioned your parents. Don't worry about ever seeing him again because I scared him so much he peed his pants on the spot. I also told them there never welcomed back into Riften so...please...cheer up." I said sitting next to him and patting his back not for comfort of myself...but for him I felt so guilty.

"He was right...it is my fault." Castiel whimpered in between his sobs and shook my head.

"No its not Castiel. No one is-"

"IT IS MY FAULT! ITS BECAUSE I'M LOW TOWN RIGHT?! THATS ALL PEOPLE WILL EVER SEE IN ME RIGHT?!" Castiel suddenly screamed as I was taken aback.

"IT WON'T MATTER IF I BECOME A KNIGHT IN REAL LIFE WILL IT?! ONCE I SAY I COME FROM LOW TOWN THATS ALL PEOPLE WILL EVER THINK OF ME! IS IT MY FAULT FOR BEING BORN?! IS IT MY FAULT FOR EXISTING?! THEY ARE RIGHT YUUTA! I AM POOR! I AM FILTH! I HAVE TO LIE ALL THE TIME! I WANT TO BE NOBLE BUT ALL I AM IS DIRT TO THEM!" Castiel screamed as my heart ached from what he said.

"T-Thats all I ever am...I can't get a girl...I can't get rich...I'm hideous...and I have no friends. Don't even try to lie to me Yuuta, you only saw the benefit of our friendship for yourself! I-it was still kind of you to pretend to make me feel better but-...look at me. I'm pathetic. Crying like a child, its no wonder why Rosaline hates me...its no wonder why I will never get a lover, a family or a life. I could die the next day without anyone ever noticing!" He screamed as my heart took control as Castiel began to sob and he stood up looking at my castle.

"I can never be anyone...no one will ever love me..." He said as stood up in a trance and walked right up to him. I turned Castiel around as he expected more 'it will be alright' lectures but-....not now...if thats what he really believes in than-

"Castiel...Do you want to know why I stay around you? I stay around you because I like being around you. I know you hate nobles but look at me, I have to live besides those kind of people for the rest of my life...then when you came into my life I-I felt real. All these talks these weren't to please you they were really from me. I admire you Castiel beyond anyone in the world." I said leaning in a bit closer inches away from his face.

"When I was dating those girls I couldn't stand to be around them...all I could ever do was think about you again and again. When you were dating Rosaline....I became jealous not of you...but from her. That she had your full attention, I panicked thinking you would forget all about me and become someone completely different. I don't want that...I don't want you being someone else. I want your attention all the time, every day, every minute...every second."

"You are right though Castiel...all nobles are awful. We are greedy and we have everything in the world we still want more....I am exactly like them Castiel...because I can see you and now-" I said leaning in more closing in on the few inches separating our lips as I felt Castiel gasp wondering if I was really going to do this.

My heart was racing but I was still in my trance as I said perhaps a half inch away from his lips.

"I want you...I want all of you and I want you to be no ones...but mine" I said as Castiel was about to say what but leaned just a bit closer and...

Our lips connected. I wrapped my hands around his head as I pulled him into a kiss....my first kiss...My heart felt ready to burst in joy as our lips fit into the others and our breath blew against the others face. I saw Castiel's eyes wide in surprise as he looked at me stunned and utterly frozen about what to do.

My tail wrapped around both my legs and his as it shiver in pleasure from the kiss. My lips felt numb but warm as I ran Castiel's hair through my fingers making me moan. My whiskers brushed against his face causing me to tingle and my fur to stand up in sheer ecstasy.

I opened my eyes slowly as I wanted to see if Castiel would somehow in someway show some interest back...Please....love me back Castiel...I want you and only you.

(Castiel's view)

I felt...gone...like I was either nonexistent or just a puppet as I was-was kissed by-by YUUTA! HE-HE'S KISSING ME! HE'S KISSING ME!

I felt a swarm and mix of emotions as I tried to sort them out in my mind. Yuuta's lips were so gentle and warm but yet they knew where exactly to kiss in order to make me feel-feel so soft and weak. I-I thought I hated feeling weak but this way is-is...

He....He must be mocking me in some way...he-he's probably teasing me by thinking I'm like a girl crying so much but...I-I have to resist them but his lips...those words.

In my heart and mind I knew something....this was it...the final test. Either I really do love Yuuta as a lover or-...I think of him as only a friend. No to do this he must either really love me or...hate me.

To kiss you like this Castiel?! He's obviously mocking you! Hit him! Tell him you never want to see him again! Take control of your body again! A voice rang in my mind as my heart felt like it was simply saying 'Lets see what Castiel really wants.'

I narrowed my eyes a bit but it probably only looked like a weak glare. I raised my right arm and placed it on Yuuta's royal outfit. Good now hold on tight and smack him with the other.

I gripped down hard with my right hand and slowly raised my left hand until it was parallel with his face...that gorgeous face...whos lips were touching mine. NO! SMACK HIM! PUNCH HIM!

I felt my left hand shake before it opened up showing a flat palm. Yuuta's eyes looked at the hand as if waiting for it to hit his face but he was trying get every last enjoyable second out of it...I-I kinda do too but if I didn't hit him I-

NO SLAP HIM! HE DISGRACES YOU WITH THIS KISS! SLAP HIM...NOW!!! The rival part of my mind screamed as I did hit something....I hit the inner part of my mind. I smacked away the doubt and rival in my mind as I placed me left hand at the back of Yuuta's head and pulled him into a deeper and passionate kiss. I felt both of our bodies shake and shiver from the others touch as my nose brushed against his muzzle...his fur is sooo soft, so smooth...like that perfect blanket I would use to hide away from my fears. I wanted Yuuta to protect me...I wanted his protection and feelings! I-I LOVE YUUTA!

The fireflies around the dance and flew all around me and Yuuta making the moment all the more romantic as we felt a gasp of needed air and we part lips slowly. Both of us still held onto the other as we both looked into the others eyes and shared the others breath. Years seemed to fly by as I waited to hear Yuuta speak his beautiful voice again.

"Castiel..."

"Yuuta..."

"I love you Castiel...I've always loved you." He said making my heart skip. I placed both of my hands on his cheeks and whispered.

"I love you too Yuuta....I'm all yours" I said as Yuuta once again looked like he was in a trance like he wanted to hear that for such a long time. Our next kiss became more aggressive as Yuuta pressed against my lips with such force I laid down against the fountain edge and tried my best to keep up with Yuuta's fiery passion.

As we were both lost in the moment I felt Yuuta's hand against my shirt and he traveled a bit below and his hand went underneath my shirt. I gasped and on reflex pushed him away as Yuuta looked at me curiously.

"I-I'm sorry...it-its just this is going so fast I-" I said probably sounding like such a girl as Yuuta smiled.

"No I got just a bit too excited. We'll take this at a pace we both want. I love you Castiel" Yuuta said with a smile that warmed my very soul.

"I love you too. Yuuta"

From now on...I had something others didn't...I had something I wanted to keep with me forever...I had the most beautiful tiger in the world and...I don't plan on sharing him. For once I felt.....rich.
