FIONA's POV

After my part-time jobs I took a shower, wrapped my hair in a rough bun dressed in a white top and pink pleated skirt. I was thinking of sitting on the chair waiting for an hour or two "Oh! Cookies" I grabbed my white apron and hurried to the kitchen.

I ran to my bedroom as I heard the sound of the soft landing of a life force

I ran to my bedroom as I heard the sound of the soft landing of a life force. Louis froze when I saw him in the spiderman pose.

"I told you to come by 1 pm" I looked at him as I waited for him to say something stupid or impossible.

"You know what they say... it's always good to be early hehe" Louis faked a smile

"Ahh... nobody says that" I shook my head

"...why can't you use the door like a normal person?" I pinched the bridge of my nose with a sigh.

"Doors are boring" he jumped to his feet and dusted his hands.

"I-I made chocolate chip cookies, wanna eat?" I flashed a small smile

"How can anyone reject chocolate... and cookies?" Louis closed his eyes and sighed softly as if he could taste it already.

"Alright, I get your point" I entered the kitchen and returned with two plates.

"Your cookies" I gave him the white plate on my right hand and sat on the bed, beside him.

He threw a cookie in his mouth "Hmm... delicious, excellent as always" Louis commended with his mouth full and gave me a thumbs-up as he munched on more.

"Be careful, you'd choke" my eyebrows furrowed as seriousness was written all over my face, Louis paused and stared wide-eyed, his stuffed cheeks reminded me of Mint, his bunny. Instantly I burst into laughter.

I couldn't stop smiling, it's always like this when he's around, like my emotions are battling with each other as I try to be indifferent.

I wish it could always be like this, just the two of us enjoying a nice day together. I felt the smile on my face turn to a grin "Urgh! Stop messing with my head!" I shook off the white cloud above my head.

We could only hear the sound of us crunching for a while before I said something"so... what have you been up to, how is your life going?"

Louis took a deep breath "Nothing much apart from Lessons! Lessons! And more Lessons! My Dad never listens to me, it's like I'm doing the same thing over and over again"

"...the only time I can skip lessons and hang with friends is when he's out of the country. My Mom is usually busy with her restaurant, Mint is doing great too" Louis explained without a pause. If I didn't have exceptional hearing I swear I couldn't have understood a thing.

"Lessons? If you don't mind, what are your lessons about?"

"Everything! I get lessons for business, dancing, singing, acting, sports, martial arts, art, games, cooking and so much more!" Louis half-yelled

".... I might die anytime soon, someone needs to remind my Dad I'm not a machine, other rich kids don't go through the same thing... well actually they do but mine is a million times worse!

"...It's like he's trying to make a perfect person, I can't do it, I feel like I will break anytime soon" he said almost in a whisper with his head facing the ground.

"What did I do to deserve this? And I try so hard but I'm never good enough for him" Louis sniffed and wiped his eyes with the back of his hand.

I paused, staring at him wide-eyed. I would not believe it if someone told me the cheerful Louis I knew could be like this, crying right in front of me. He tried so well to mask those feelings.

I hugged him so tight and rubbed his back "I'm sorry... if you need anyone to talk to I'd be right here" Louis sobbed harder and hugged me back as if he never wanted to let me go.

When he finally stopped we stayed in that position for a long time before he let go of me, he spaced out for a while with his eyes fixed on the floor then he raised his gaze and caught me looking at him, Louis quickly lifted up his hand to block his face like he was telling me not to look at him.

I pulled his hand gently "you're still as handsome as ever" I gave him a reassuring smile. Louis dropped his hand fully with a shy smile "thanks"

We shared a shorter moment of silence then he spoke "Fiona" I turned my head as I waited for him to continue.

"...Thanks for listening and cheering me up, if you have something important to say I'm always ready to listen to you" Louis gave me a small smile.

The first thing that came to my mind was to tell him I'm a Salvin, the hybrid of Elevanas and Glorindians in the Mystic world. Was it the right time to tell him? I may not get an easy opportunity like this to tell him the truth, maybe I was overthinking

Is there a need to tell him in the first place? I don't think so... or maybe I was just afraid he would hate my real form and call me a monster. Louis may be afraid of me and never come close to me again.

My heart ached at the thought of these things, he might yell at me for not telling him earlier. What will I do if he never trusts me or despises me for everything? I don't want Louis to hate me.
