Ice Cream Cat (Neko reader X Neo)

Chapter 10

(Y/N)'s P.O.V

All the smells going through my nose are wonderful. The breeze feels nice going through my hair. I start to run my hand through Neo's hair and it felt so smooth. Suddenly my mind starts to wander thinking about how much Neo and I have been through and how much we could still do. A couple of thoughts that come to mind is enough to make me blush. Even though I'm loving the wonderful silence I decide to break it.

"Hey Neo, do you think Cinder would pay me to just protect you guys?" I ask. Neo shrugs. I won't be a bad guy, but if Cinder is sending Neo on dangerous missions it wouldn't be that bad to get paid to protect her. I let myself think of how much I've changed since I met Neo.

If I'm willing to risk my life for Neo, does that mean I'm in love with her? I think to myself. Neo gets up only to sit back down on my lap with her face next to mine. The scent of her hair is amazing, she's so light it doesn't even bother me that she's sitting on my lap and to finish it off she's just short enough to let me see over her.

Everything about her is practically perfect. I sigh causing Neo to turn and look at me. She gives me a look asking 'What's wrong?'

"I learned something." I tell her. She gives me a more curious look now. "I'll tell you when we get back, promise. For now though I just want to enjoy the view with you," I say holding Neo close to me. I can feel the heat from her blush, but she leans against my head with hers anyways. After awhile Neo falls asleep.

"Guess it's time to go," I say quietly lifting her up with my telekinesis. I stand up and stretch a little before pulling out my scroll to check the time.

"It's almost midnight," I say to myself with a sigh. I look over at Neo and start to think.

I could be lazy like usual and just use my telekinesis or I could actually carry her. I sigh to myself as I hold out my arms and gently use my telekinesis to set her in my arms.

"You've changed me," I say quietly, while looking down at Neo. She smiles in her sleep. "Whatever you're dreaming about I really hope it isn't another guy," I say quietly as I start to walk back to our base. Right before I leave I decide to do something pretty cheesy.

I walk back over to the tree we were sitting under and carve a heart into. On the inside of the heart I carve out the first letter in mine and Neo's first name. Then I head back to the base for real.

Time Skip brought to you by (Y/N) lifting up Neo on his shoulder so she can grab ice cream

I walk through the door to Neo's room so I can set her down on the bed.

You know what, even if you are thinking about another guy, I'll help you out. I'd prefer if it were me, but all I want is for you to be happy. I think to myself laying in the bed next to Neo. "You know what, I did make a promise," I take a deep breath, even though she's asleep, I'm kind of embarrassed to say it.

"Neo, I'm in love with you." I say quietly as I let sleep overcome me.

Neo's P.O.V

Neo's Dream

Me and (Y/N) were on the beach. "Hey, Neo let's go swimming," I hear (Y/N) say.

"Ok, let's go," I respond in my own voice.

(Y/N) grabs my hand and pulls me into the water with him. He tackles me into the water and when we come back up he's smiling brightly. "I love you, Neo."

"I love you too, (Y/N)." I say back as he pulls me in for a kiss. Right before the kiss I wake up.

I slowly open my eyes and see (Y/N) laying next to me. I try to say I love him out loud in my own voice, but it just won't come out. I feel myself start to tear up.

I pull (Y/N) close to me and rest my head on his chest. I love you, (Y/N). I say in my head, only wishing I could say it out loud. I feel (Y/N)'s arms wrap around me pulling me as close to him as possible.

"Go back to sleep Neo, I'll protect you no matter what," He says sleepily. I look up to see him smiling, only barely awake. I move up just a little so we're face to face and place a small kiss on his lips before going to sleep.
