~Y/N's Pov~

I sat on the couch watching F/Sh as he cooked dinner, the aroma of creamy garlic chicken filling the house.

"I hope you don't mind having chicken again, I'm just trying to use up leftovers."

"That's fine." I smile a little and I hear him grumble, followed by the oven closing quickly. "Burn yourself?"

"Yeah, it'll be okay though." He places a piece on his plate and cuts it in half, splitting it between us. He cuts it up for both of us and wanders over, sitting down and setting a plate next to me.

"Thanks..." I begin to eat slowly and watch the TV, the silence between us killing me.

"So I heard the guys moved down the street also... What do you think made them move?" He says, trying to have a conversation.

"Aphmau." I laugh and he chuckles a little.

"Sounds about right..." He looks at the TV and sighs. "What made you... choose to move in as my roommate?"

"You're an old friend of mine... You're also someone I can trust out of the friends I know who I could move in with."

"Ah. So I'm trustworthy? But aren't I... cold?"

"Eh?!" Does he know what I said to Aph?!

"...I'm sorry, I just feel as if I'm being really distant to you. Honestly, I don't know how to talk with you. I don't know this you, the you now. I only know the you from back then."

"I understand... I feel the same way."

"You do?" He looks at me, our eyes meeting... except I can't see his.

"I-I do."

"That... makes me feel better." He smiles a little and stands up, taking my plate of finished food to the kitchen. "I'll be upstairs, I'm gonna get ready for bed."

"Alright."

I wait a few mintues before going upstairs and sat down on his bed. As the amber sky begins to disappear into the dark sky, I was dangling my legs on the bed nervously. I got up and grabbed my pajamas, wandering into the nearby bathroom to change. When I got back, I found him sitting on the bed, leaning back and watching TV.

"Good now?" He scratches his black hair, leaning back onto the blackboard, his shirt pulling up a little.

"Yeah..." I stand and stare awkwardly. "Where do you want me to-"

"Here." He pats the bed right next to him. "If you don't mind."

"A-Alright..." I pull myself onto the bed and sit next to him, pulling my knees close.

"Cold? It is getting colder, so if you need to, cover yourself up."

"I'm fine..." I say, shivering a little.

He grumbles a little, and takes the blankets from the bed and covers me with them. "You're not."

"...Thanks Aaron."

"You're welcome... I guess." He pulls the blankets over himself, accidentally bumping our legs together in the process. "Sorry."

"Y-You're fine." Gosh, he's warm also... I must have given him my cold already. I probably should apologize. "Are you feeling a little ill?"

"Not really, just warm." He adjusts himself again to look at me.

"O-Okay... That's good."

"Do you have a cold or something?" He reaches his hand out and touches my forehead, seeing if its warm.

I fluster a little. "I think I have one coming on."

"I can tell... You're flustered a little, feeling a bit feverish?"

"P-Probably!"

"Okay... Let me know if you feel worse, alright?" He smiles a little and sighs.

"Aaron, are you feeling alright?" I scan his posture, as his crossed legs and straight back shows off his nervousness.

"I just... I feel awkward... I have never slept by anyone in my life."

"Not even by your mother?"

He shakes his head no. "Not really, maybe when I was a toddler, but not since."

"Would you like to pet my ears...?"

"Y/N... How do you remember...?"

I let my ears and tail out, smiling a little. "Why would I forget?"

We always knew of each others secret, it was the thing that bonded us together as kids. As he was a lonely child, I felt as it was my duty to help him. That's when we told each other, he was the Ultima and I was the Suprema. We would go in the back and I would teach him to bring out his ears and tail himself, although he never told this achievement to anyone because he was scared of being made fun of. It was a thing for us to have the red tipped ears and tail, and many people would question us, so we hid them.

"Time goes on Y/N... I don't know if you'd remember or not." He moves closer to me and I fluster.

"O-Of course I would. I would feel stupid if I didn't remember."

"You don't have to feel stupid..." He looks at my ears. "Can I...?"

"Go ahead."

He smiles and begins to gently rub my ears with his hands, relaxing and growing a little tired. He stops for a moment and leans over, grabbing the remote for the TV and shutting it off. He sets it back down and looks at me. "Oh right..."

"Huh?"

He lets his ears and tail out, making me fluster. I couldn't ever describe how beautiful they were. Soft to the eye, the black blends into the whites and reds so perfectly, making me smile. "I thought it would only be fair."

"Aaron, you don't have to."

"Actually, I have a proposition." He presses his forehead to mine, making me burn with fluster. He'd do this as a child to get my attention, but this time my heart begins to pound almost out of my chest. "Why don't we let our true selves out at home? We have to hide them all the time, and it makes us exhausted. It would be fair that we know each others secret."

"A-Alright. It's a deal then." I mumble and he chuckles.

He pulls away and sighs. "I didn't mean to invade your personal space like that. I'm sorry."

"Its alright."

He yawns and lays down, curling up a little in the blankets. "Good night Y/N..."

"G-Good night Aaron." I lay down and look at him, scanning his tired expression.

What the hell did he do to me?! Is he placing this cold on me?! No! This is a spell! He's cursed me...

Wait, we are cursed.
