Joshua's Pov
"Shua!"
I love the it when you call my name: like a milk, sweet in their ordinary sort of way. You have a voice that sink me in and wraps me up, yeah, I could listen to it all day.
"I miss you," you said and hugged me tight.
From the day I opened my eyes, I know I am different.
"Did you miss me too?" you asked then followed by a peck on my lips. It was so sudden that my heart skip a beat. So I tilted my head on the other side, although I know you'll never notice how flustered I am. "Are you sulking because I came home late?" you added. But I remain silent. "Actually, I met with my boyfriend."
Luke. Luke again.
I walked away from you and sat on the couch. I hate that guy. He always said that he loves you but behind your back, he is a bastard who dates ton of girls around the block. Why can't you see it?
"We broke up."
My eyes widened when I heard those three words I longed to hear. I thought I am going to be happy but... your sobs told me I shouldn't.
"I saw him kissing a girl inside the cinema," you cried as your knees weakened and fell down on the ground.
I hopped down from the couch and stared at your hopeless face. If only I am big enough to hug you, if only I am strong enough to wipe your tears, if only I could talk so I can ease your pain, and if only I am a human, so we could be together. But...
"Meow," the repetitive words I can only replied even the times of your misery.
"I'll be okay right?" you said with a smile that breaks my heart. I leaned my head on your palm, maybe in this way I can comfort you. "At least I have you Shua. I know you won't leave me."
"Meow."
I won't. I will never leave the girl I love.
Sunlight shines, and the curtain add an orange glow to the morning light. As I blinked my eyes, I feel a heady pull of my dreams, beckoning me back to play.
Sleeping beside you in one bed starts my perfect morning.
In the wash of the new light, your face takes on the appearance of an old photograph, one of nostalgia, so beautiful. I watched as it brings your skin into focus, not animated with the warmth of who you really are, for you are still in the land of dreams.
And since there is no better thing to do but to bring my body close that I can feel your deep breath, I'll stick closely at you until you wake, when the light is so strong that you come into the present me, eyes open.
"Hmmmm," you groaned. "Good morning Shua," you greeted while your eyes are still closed.
So I opened my mouth and greeted good morning, "Good morning my princess."
Something is odd.
We were supposed to hear "meow" but we heard a voice of a man coming through me.
You awake without warning, eyes flung so wide. After a second or two, your head turns in speed. The you shouted, "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
You sat up and get a pillow.
Why are you looking at me as if I am a stranger? It's me. Shua.
I sat up from your soft bed, quite puzzled that you suddenly became smaller to my eyes.
"Who are you?! What are you doing here you naked pervert!? Tell me or I'll call the police?"
Naked pervert?
I know I was always naked but...
Wait...
I just saw my reflection through the mirror.
I slowly tilted my head and then I found out... that I suddenly became a human.
"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?!" I shouted.
