*********************************************

It was rare for a vampire and werewolf to get along, hell it was unheard of, but somehow Simon and I managed to become good friends. We were hanging out at Dumort playing video games.

"What is she doing here?" we hear Santiago's voice but ignore him. "Simon!"

"Dude we're busy right now can you come back another time," I respond, trying to focus on the game. He sighs heavily before sitting pouring himself a 'Bloody Mary.'

It's quiet for a while before we hear a commotion downstairs, "what's that?" I voice my thought.

"We're being attacked," Raphael answers. I look at Simon and I start shifting into my wolf, "What is she doing?!"

"Helping," is all Simon says before a demons start swarming in. I immediately start tearing through them, I hear Simon and Raphael fighting their own fights.

I look over to Simon and see he's cornered, I growl and run over killing any demon around him. "Thanks," he says before jumping back in. I look to Raphael and he quickly turns away. What was that about?

Some of the other vampires come and help us with the demons left. We finish them off rather quickly then. The vampires look at me in disgust, two of them try coming towards me, I growl readying myself for a fight but Raphael speaks up, "Leave her, she saves one of our own." The two vamps look at each other then at me backing away and leaving the room, as do the others.

Simon leads me to one of the rooms so I could shift back.

"Thanks for saving me Y/N," He says once I step out.

"Don't worry about it Simon," I smile at him.

"Y/N," I turn to see Raphael. "Can I talk to you for a moment?"

I look at Simon and he's looking at Raphael with a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Sure," I walk over to him. He leads me to one of the many rooms there are.

"I wanted to thank you, for looking out for Simon," he starts.

"It was nothing, I'm sure he would've done the same had our roles been reversed," I say.

"You didn't have to protect him, he's a vampire and you're a werewolf, you two are suppose to hate each other not be friends," he explains.

"Yea well I don't like following protocol so if I want to be friends with a vamp then I'll be friends with one," I reply.

"Thank you," he says with sincerity.

"Your welcome I guess. Um it's getting late, I should get going," I say walking towards the door.

"I'll walk you out," He passes me and opens the door and true to his word he walks me right to the door and he takes my hand placing a kiss on it, "Have a nice night Y/N."

Raphael's POV

I go into the hotel and find Simon playing his game. "Simon, I need to ask you something." I say as I sit next to him.

He pauses the game and looks at me, "sure, what's up?"

"It's about Y/N," I get out before Simon cuts in.

"You like her," he says with a grin on his face.

"Shut up Simon! I just want to thank her for saving you and I wanted to know how I could possibly do that." I say glaring at him.

"Okay well, she loves books, animals, looking at the stars late at night. She loves sweets, her favorite color is (f/c) and she'd never admit it but she's a sucker for red roses," Simon responds, smiling the whole time.

I nod my head, absorbing this information, "thanks Simon," I get up, leaving the room.

"You should smile more! She likes when you smile," Simon shouts.

She likes my smile? I smile at the thought. I walk into the library and walk around finding something I think she might like. I settle on a book about a girl who defies society and makes a difference in the world by being herself.

Tomorrow I'll buy a her red roses and some sweets from the nearby bakery. I go to my room and get ready for bed.

Next Day/Night

I wake up and get dressed before going out into the city, I stop by a little flower shop and get a bouquet of red roses. Next I go to the bakery and buy red velvet cupcakes and a half a dozen chocolate chips.

I get back to the hotel and enter the main room, stopping when I see Y/N already there.

"Hey Raphael. Wow, do you have a date or something?" She asks, I see disappointment cross her eyes.

"Or something," I say walking over to the table.

"Dude, are you serious?" Dammit Simon! "I didn't think you would do all this," he says smiling widely.

"What are you two talking about?" Y/N asks looking between us.

"Raph wanted to properly- ow!" I cut him off by throwing a glass cup at him. Y/N stares at us with wide eyes, slowly backing away.

"Y/N, I wanted to properly thank you you for saving Simon so I got you all this," I gestures to the roses and the sweets.

She stares at me, her cheeks turn red, "You d-didn't have t-to d-do all this," she stutters out.

"I also wanted to ask if you'd join me on a nightly stroll around the city," I admit.

Before she can answer Simon interjects, "She'd love to!" he pushes Y/N towards me and then picks up a cupcake handing it to her, "Don't forget the cupcake and the cookies," he says shoving them in her hands.

I glare at Simon the whole time, "go on now, go. The stars are suppose to look beautiful tonight," he shoves us out of the hotel.

Once we're outside I speak up, "I'm sorry. If you don't want to go on the walk it's fine." I say a little sadly.

"No, I-I want to go on the walk with you," she whispers, looking at the ground.

"I'll hold the cookies while we walk, if that's fine with you," I extend my hand out. She lightly growls before handing them over. "I know the perfect spot to look at the stars." She looks up at me and smiles.

We walk to the park, she eats the cupcake humming in appreciation. We turn off the path and her eyes light up with recognition. She walks ahead of me, leading to one of my favorite places. She looks back to me and smiles, eyes full of light.

"How did you know about this place?" she sits on one of the rocks.

"I come here when I want to get away from the hotel," I respond sitting next to her, I push the cookies towards her and she quickly grabs them.

We sit in silence looking at the sky, it's relaxing really.

After a few moments she leans on me, placing her head on my shoulder. I tense before placing an arm around her, pulling her closer. I hear her grumble happily.

Werewolves might not all be bad. I think to myself as I look down at her.
