"Who is it?"

The election. Something that not everyone can understand. The power, the love of citizens, the glory... that's just like a dream. Everyone want it, right? For sure, everyones here. That's what I want. My hands went on my hips and I look up to the Great, Great President of L'manburg — William Gold, otherwise known as Wilbur Soot. He was speaking softly to others on the meeting. I was in silence, I didn't want to interrupt him. All eyes on him, huh... as always. Always he gets the most attention. I hate it. I just fuckin hate it. My efforts are wasted. This man... this man is a walking mess. I don't think it's a good leader for this country. In addition with this golden hair boy? It's gonna be a one, big jungle. I wiped my face with my hands.
— I know it's almost the end of the meeting, but I want to introduce someone to you. — the oldest son of The Crow and Goddess of Death went sideways. From the depths of the darker part of the room, entered a person who we had not known before. The tall, elegant man with ram horns, hooves and soft beard. His red eyes inspected everyone in the hall.
— Good evening everyone. I'm Johnathan, but you can call me Schlatt.  — the man bowed and straightened his tie. Everyone looked at the gentleman with interest.
— It's a new candidate. Can you introduce yourself mister? — Soot looked at the smaller one with a smile. Ram nodded his head and coughed.
— So, I'm just a simple man. I mean... more than just simple. — his gaze wandered around everyone in the room. I wasn't really listening. Like, another enemy? Jesus Christ. Plus he looks rich. Women would recommend it and cast their votes... another like Soot. At one point I felt a strange sting. I looked up. At that moment, I saw red, cold eyes. They were staring straight at me. I swallowed and smiled tentatively at the goat. Fuck... is he noticed that I didn't listening?
— I'm not going to bore you, after all, not everyone is interested in. — he looked away and clasped his hands together. I feel slightly attacked. Some people were still talking, but I wasn't listening. At that moment, I had those cold, red eyes in front of me. This "Schlatt"... I don't want him as an enemy. Wilbur is enough for me. All in all, everyone was like my opponent when it comes to candidacy, but this one seemed to be ... different. His strange aura made my wings flutter.
— So, thanks everyone for coming. Have a good night and stay safe. — with these words, Wilbur ended the meeting. Everyone started clapping, including me. Finally, we can go home, but first I have to sort something out. As everyone started to leave, I took the opportunity walk over to the goat. I tentatively tap him on the back of the arm. I felt a strange cold as he turned around.
— Um, good evening Sir! — I smiled crookedly. The man raises his eyebrows slightly.
— Hello. Do you need something? — his voice didn't sounds very friendly. Honestly? He seemed much colder towards me than before.
— Y-yes actually! I mean, eh... I don't want you to take it the wrong way. I was distracted, it's not like I wasn't listening to you. — I nervously bite the inside of my cheeks. The businessman immediately shook his head and laughed. I looked at him questioningly like an idiot. Did I said something wrong?
— Relax, nothing happened. You look like I'm about to kill you. Don't worry duckling, it's fine. — his gaze softened.
— You're Alexis, right? — he gave his hand to me. I blinked a couple of times and squeezed his hand.
— Yes! I mean, how do you know? — I took my hand and placed it on my hip. Schlatt puts hands in his pockets.
— Wilbur introduced me to each candidate at the beginning. Besides, I wouldn't run for election if I didn't know the others, right? — I automatically felt a prick inside. That's right, what a stupid question! Soot must always have everything fastened to the last button.
— Ha ha, right, sorry. Also, you can call me just Quackity! I'm totally okay with that. Most people have spoken to me that way anyway. — the ram looked at me with obvious interest. The moment of silence made me feel a little uncomfortable.
— You have very pretty wings. — he leaned down slightly to touch one of them. Instantly, I felt warm in that place. With a slight, confused smile, I nodded.
— Ah, thank you so much! I care about them a lot. — it's pure truth. I always try to allow myself to look well.
— Your horns... are great too! — I tried to give him a compliment. The man straightened up and smiled slightly.
— Thank you. It's cute that you're so stressed. There's nothing, really. — he looked towards the exit. At that moment, I didn't know what to say. Cute? Do he really thinks so? Uhh, he definitely wants to weaken me. Plus, he doesn't look like the type to say that to a man. Theoretically, myself was not interested either.
— You know, I really enjoy talking to you, but it's late. I need to find a hotel and look around this place. — he muttered under his breath and looked at me. I sent him a smile and nodded.
— Don't worry, I understand. You must be tired after such a long trip. In that case, see you soon Schlatt ! — the man patted my shoulder and walked past me to the exit.
— See you soon Pumpkin. — I watched him as he disappeared through the door. Pumpkin? Interesting. I didn't stay long in the room myself and I went home. I was greeted by my ginger cat at the door.
— Well hello, Mango ! — I patted the purring redhead. I went to clean his bowls and give him fresh food and water. Of course, the little one had to get under my feet.
— Ha ha, chill little man. — Laughing, I put the bowls on the floor and watched him eat for a while. After everything I grabbed an apple and a banana. I wasn't that hungry, but I didn't want to go to bed with empty stomach. After eating, I took a quick shower and brushed my teeth. Ah, typical routine. I put on my pajamas and laid down with my phone in bed. I yawned covering my mouth with my hand.

"Hello there."

I raised my eyebrows slightly. Unknown message.
"Um, hello?"
"Ah, dw. It's me Pumpkin."

Schlatt? How did he get my number? Probably from Wilbur... screw you.
"Oh, okay! You need something? And why your'e calling me a Pumpkin?"

"I don't know. Is it bad?"

"Ah, no no, it's okay! I'm just curious :] Also, answer the question!!"

"Ha ha, okay. You are so impatient. I just wanted to invite you somewhere."

I blinked a couple of times. Invite? For what?
"Where? I mean, why? We just met."

"You're quite interesting. In the restaurant."

"Interesting? What does that mean—"

"Well, you're definitely not a boring person like Soot."
I smiled under my breath. Did he not like him either?
"Hah, gracias. That's nice :]"

"Oh, you can speak spanish. Damn, that's obviously, you're from Spain. Puedo hablar español."

"Huh???? FOR REAL???? OMG THAT'S SO NICE. I mean— noone on the server speaks spanish... until now."

"Well, you see now :). Soooo... you wanna come or?"

"Ah, ye ye, I mean is it expensive?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Ummm, it does??? You know, money and things, duh."

"I'm gonna pay."

"Hell no??? We just met dude!"

"And what? I just want to know you better."

"It's not an argue."

"It is patito."

"Okay, you don't have me with cute, spanish words. It's still expensive!"

"I have a lot of money, don't worry."

"Bruh, I'm jealous."

"That's why I'm gonna pay Pumpkin."

"You know what is no?"

"No."

I rolled my eyes and groaned. What a stubborn man!

"Okay, I get it. You can pay."

"Great. Do you have time tomorrow at 7.00 PM?"

"I guess?? I mean, sure."

"That's what I wanted to hear. I'll pick you up from home."

"YOU KNOW WHERE I LIVE?!"

"Yeah, Wilbur told me."

"Fuck him."

"Nah, he would enjoy it."

I giggled.

"Ha ha, yeah :]"

"Soooo, go to sleep, it's late."

"Yeah, you too!"

"Good night patito."

"Good night Schlatt!! Sleep well:]"

I put the phone aside and petted Mango. I actually enjoy talking to him. I thought he was a bit of a dork, but... he seems really fine! Honestly? I can't wait for this meeting!
— Okay, buenas noches gato. — I kissed gingers lil head and I put my head on the pillow. I need to rest...
