Shane's PoV -
Devin and I had been something for quite a while now. I don't know exactly what we were though. I kinda liked him as more than a pet and I think he kinda cared about me a little too. I had been giving him more and more freedom so now he was allowed to roam the majority of the castle during the day an was only caged at night. I still felt kinda bad about that but I was worried he would run away. I moved his cage to my room so he wouldn't feel so self conscious being kept in the throne room.
The only problem was Devin kept getting himself into dangerous situations. He would get into fights with the guards, run along the castle rooftop, or jump out of cabinets and scare my poor advisor. Currently I stood outside the castle listening to my advisor drone on about why we should build better fortifications. "Listen, Karmo, our castle is safe enough, no one even knows we exist," I replied but made the mistake of glance at the highest level of the castle in the process.
"What the hell is he doing?!" I gasped as Devin jumped from windowsill to balcony, "I have to go!"
I quickly shoved a notebook into Karmo's hands and took off running through the castle, which had been happening quite a lot lately. I took the stairs three at a time and rounded corners so fast I nearly knocked my help out of the way. Finally, I made it to the top floor. I ran down the hall glancing through open doors to look out the window. Then I caught a glimpse of Devin's thick cat tail. I ran over one room to the right and charged in. Some woman may have screamed but I didn't care, I ran to the window and hurriedly opened it before grabbing Devin in my arms. He let out a caterwaul and I pulled him inside, "What the hell were you doing!?" I may have been a bit too harsh but I was worried for him.
"Awwww, you care about me but I'm part cat I have good balance," Devin replied in his usual sassy attitude.
I couldn't help but pull him close, "You scared me, don't do that again!"
"No promises," he hugged back and purred a little.
"Well this is heart warming and all but please get out of here I'm trying to get dressed!" the lady, who's room we were standing in, yelled causing Devin and I to slap our hands over our eyes and scurry out of the room.
"Well that was amusing..." Devin smirked.
"Whatever... do you want to stay with me so you don't almost get yourself killed anymore today?" I suggest.
"Your life is so boring though," Devin complained, "all you do is talk and sit on a throne."
"To bad," I grabbed Devin's hand and pulled him after me downstairs.
I always wondered what my kingdom thought about Devin and myself. He usually hung around me when he wasn't getting himself into trouble and we hugged quite a bit. I didn't even know what Devin and I were. Was it weird that I might possibly be in love with a cat hybrid? What would my people think about that? After all my advisor, Karmo, had warned me that I should be keeping more distance from Devin. I choose not to listen to him.
I currently sat on my throne, it was late in the day and no one had came in to ask something for several hours. Devin sat next to me, half on my lap and half on the throne, with his head on my shoulder. He was asleep and snored a little. I smiled at the sight, Devin really was cute. My heart swelled for him and I planted a small kiss to his lips. He didn't wake up but he let out a quiet purr. I think I was in love...
