~(Y/n)'s POV~

Being friends with Noctis and Prompto was difficult. Not because they both were unpredictable, but because I had to always hide my ears and tail from them. I wore the same beanie everyday ever since I met them. It's been three years since I met them and they keep asking why I do wear the beanie everyday.

"Are you bald on top of your head?" Prompto asked. Noctis smacked him on the back of the head. The blonde whimpered as he backed away.

"Really, Prom? That was the first thing you ask?" Noctis rolled his eyes at his best friend in disbelief.

"How rude..." I feign a hurt expression.

"Then, why do you?" Prompto asked, treading carefully.

"My ears get cold easily. That's why I wear it all the time," I lie through my teeth.

"Even in summer?" Noctis asked. I nodded and pulled the beanie down just above my eyebrows. Noctis and Prompto gave me shifty eyes as they shrugged my answer off. I pray mentally and thank Etro that they stopped prying.

We reach my apartment and spot a note on the door. "What?! Inspection?!" I shout. Noctis peers over my shoulder and reads the note. "You can stay the night at my place," he announced. My cheeks began to redden at his words. I tried to hide my burning cheeks, but I knew it was useless. I turn to face the two boys and saw Prompto was wiggling his eyebrows at me. I sent him a glare, which made him cease his childish behavior.

"A-alright," I answer meekly. Noctis smiles and then we head to his apartment which was not far down the road. Before we reached his building, Prompto took off and left us alone. Noctis unlocked his door and held it for me to enter. I thank him and sit on his couch with a sigh.

Noctis closed the door and locked it before he sat next to me. "I'll text Gladio later. For now, you should take a shower." My eyes widened at his suggestion. "N-no! Your place, your shower."

"Alright, weirdo-- I'll go first." Noctis got to his feet and headed into the bathroom. I sigh in relief once he vanished behind the door. With a small tug, I pulled my beanie off to free my ears. My (h/c) hair fell out as my ear popped up. Both my ears were sore from being cooped up for so long. My tail fell out from under my skirt. I listen closely to make sure Noctis was in the shower before I stood up.

I went to the mirror that was not far from the couch. Staring at my reflection, I begin to pull on my ears with a small pout. "Why can't I be normal?" I ask myself. My tail flicked behind my back as I closed my eyes slowly. Another sigh escapes me, causing my shoulders to slump forward.

When I opened my eyes, I looked back into the mirror. When I did, I saw familiar blue eyes wide as saucers. 'Crap!' I mentally shout. I push my ears against my head with my hands. I turned and hid my tail behind my back. "H-hey, that was a quick s-shower," I said with a forced smile. No words left his mouth as it hung open. I shrunk back and spotted my beanie on the couch.

Walking quickly, I snatch the beanie and put it on my head. When I knew it was securely on, I ran to the door.

"Wait, (Y/n)!" Noctis shouts. I ignore him and try to unlock the door. When I continued to fumble, I sighed and hit my head against the door. "Please, stop staring," I tell him. Even though I wasn't facing him, I could feel his piercing gaze on my back. Before I could move, Noctis had moved behind me and grabbed my arm. He guided me to the couch and sat next to me with my hands in his. I refused to make eye contact with him for even a second.

He moves his hands from mine and tried to pull off the beanie on my head. I quickly grab on to the edges and pull it down with all my strength. Noctis grabs both of my wrists in one hand and prevents me from moving my hands. He uses his other hand to pull off the beanie. I try to free myself from him, but he refuses to let go.

"Why?"

I stopped trying to free myself at his question. I hung my head in shame.

"Well, I thought you wouldn't want to be friends with a weirdo who has cat ears," I murmur. Noctis' grip on my wrists tightened as he pushed me down on the couch. He pinned my body down with his.

"N-Noct?" I ask, my voice becoming shaky. Without warning, he pressed his lips against mine. I tensed up at the contact, but soon relaxed. With his free hand, Noctis began to stroke my ears. I squirmed underneath him as his fingers glided over my ears with gentle fingers. Water from his hair dropped onto my nose as he played with my ears while grinning.

"H-hey, stop! T-they're sensitive!" I shout, trying to break free. Noctis chuckled as he enjoyed my reaction. My whole body was melting under his touch. I bit the bottom of my lip to keep myself from moaning.

"Your ears are really soft, (Y/n)," he said.

"Hold on! Why did you kiss me a few minutes ago?" I ask, finally able to compose myself a little.

"Isn't it obvious? I love you," he whispers with a smile. If my body grew any hotter, my blood would boil. My eyes flew wide open at his confession.

"How long?" I question.

"Awhile. I wasn't sure how you would react and pushed my feelings down," he replies. Noctis looks away with a sad look in his eyes. His grip on my wrists loosened and I used that opportunity to free my hands. With free hands, I cupped his cheeks and made him look at me.

"So... you don't find me strange or ugly with cat ears and a tail?"

"Hell no. I think it makes you ten times more adorable," he admits with ease.

"That... is the sweetest thing anyone has said to me," I murmur. Noctis smiles and pats me on the top of my head.

"Does that mean it's not one-sided?" He asked with a raised eyebrows. A short laugh escapes my lips as I nodded. He leans down and seals my lips once again. And, of course, his hands find my ears again.

"Hey, watch where you're putting those," I warn him. He chuckles and kisses me on the forehead.

"No promises."
