I grabbed my bag and peeked outside to the hallway where Dallon and Frank talked.

"Here's a list of all the foods he won't eat and some of his favorites," Frank said. "And make sure he takes a nap after lunch even if he protests. He usually only naps for about two hours but don't let him nap for more than three or else he won't go to sleep at night.

"His bedtime is at ten thirty sharp. He usually likes a warm bottle of milk first. Only fill it up halfway though. He likes it when you scratch his ears until he falls asleep. He hates storms too so make sure you're close to him when it's storming.

"Here's Lola, he loves Lola. And here's his paci, that usually helps calm him down when he's scared. He really likes bubble baths but hates big bodies of water. He has never been on a plane before so he'll probably get scared but he feels better when you hold him and scratch his ears.

"Make sure you always carry around one of his sweaters with you. Whenever we go out I always bring a sweater because he gets cold but always forgets to bring his own. And keep in contact with his brother, he likes updates on how Gee is doing.

"Make sure you don't give him too many sweets no matter how much he asks for it. You don't want him having a sugar rush or a tummy ache. Make sure he brushes his teeth, he only likes mint toothpaste but not one that's too minty."

Wow, Frank must care for me a lot.

"That's...extensive," Dallon muttered.

"He's a kitten, he needs to be taken care of," Frank stated.

I walked out and they smiled at me.

"You ready?" Dallon asked and I nodded.

Frank wrapped his arms around me, holding me tight.

"I'm gonna miss you," he whispered. "I love you."

"I love you too," I mumbled sadly.

"I'll mail you the rest of your stuff," he said.

I nodded and he pulled away, wiping away my tears.

"You go have a good life now," he said.

"This is what you do for a living?" I asked.

"Yeah, I do just this," he said. "You're gonna go live your dream now."

I nodded and he kissed my cheek.

"Go on now," he said with a small, sad smile.

I nodded again and Dallon took my hand.

"Come on, baby, let's go," he said softly.

Dallon and I walked out and we got into his car. I sniffled, looking back at the house as we drove off.

"My mom is so excited to meet you," Dallon said. "And she knows you're a neko so you don't even have to worry."

He squeezed my hand, frowning softly.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"I-I'm just nervous," I said.

Dallon nodded, kissing my hand.

"It's okay to be nervous," he said. "But soon we'll be home. We have a big yard too and I can build you a big playground."

I nodded, smiling happily. We got to the airport, which wasn't far. The two of us grabbed a snack after going through all the checks before they started calling people for the plane.

I froze as Dallon handed her the tickets and we were just about to board the plane. He looked at me in confusion, caressing my cheek gently.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"I-I can't go with you," I whimpered.

"Why not?" Dallon asked, he looked panicked and scared. "Baby, I know you're scared, you've never left home before but trust me, everything will be okay."

"I'm sorry," I cried. "I can't go."

"Gee, baby, please," he begged.

"No, I-I need to stay here," I said.

I couldn't tell you why I needed to stay but I just did. All I could think about was Frank. He cares so much for me.

"We can stay the night," he said. "And tomorrow we can go out instead after you have had a night  to relax."

"Daddy, I-I want Daddy," I said. "Please, Dallon, just go."

"Baby, no, I-I love you," he said.

"I love you too b-but I don't think I love you the same way that you love me," I said.

I need to go back to Frank, what was I thinking?

"Baby," Dallon whispered.

His eyes were watering as he looked at me.

"I-is this it then for us?" He asked, his voice wavering.

"Sir, the plane is boarding now," the flight attendant said.

Dallon shook his head, hugging me tight.

"Baby, please, just come with me and I can promise you that everything we'll be fine," he begged. "We can get married and start a family like you've always wanted."

I shook my head, crying softly.

"Baby," Dallon sniffled.

"I'm sorry," I cried, shaking my head.

"Sir, i'm sorry but this is your last chance to board the plane," the lady said.

Dallon nodded, looking at me sadly before he went through the door. I wiped my eyes, fixing my hat on my head. I got a cab and spent the entire way home crying. I clutched Lola to my chest, looking out the window.

When we pulled up to the house, I paid the man and he drove off. I grabbed my bag and walked in quietly as I sniffled. I found Frank on the couch, crying as he hugged one of my favorite blankies to cuddle with.

"Daddy," I whimpered.

Frank looked up, hurrying over.

"Wh-what are you doing here?" He asked. "You're supposed to be with Dallon on your way to Utah. You're supposed to be living your dream."

"I-i need to stay here with you," I said.

Frank held me tight and I cried into his shoulder.

"I love you," I whimpered, clutching onto him.

Frank held me tight, crying quietly.

"It's never hurt this bad when a neko leaves," he muttered. "But letting you leave was the hardest thing I've ever had to do."

I sniffled as Frank pulled away. Frank wiped my eyes, smiling softly.

"How about I run you a bath?" Frank asked.

I nodded and he held my hand. Frank didn't pull me to my bathroom, though. Instead, he took me to his huge, marble filled bathroom. The in-ground tub was huge and Frank filled it with bubbles and hot water.

Frank got me undressed and I stood there shyly, completely naked. He put a towel on the heating rack and grabbed some shampoo. Frank held my hand as I stepped in, not wanting me to slip.

"Good boy," he muttered.

I closed my eyes as Frank rubbed shampoo into my hair.

"Daddy, do you always see your nekos naked?" I asked.

That thought upsets me.

"No," he said. "But usually I don't get little kittens who need help being taken care of."

I nodded and Frank's fingers ran over my hair, making me purr.

"Daddy, I'm sorry I was gonna leave," I said. "I thought I loved Dallon like a boyfriend but I think I realized I didn't. I don't know why but something was just telling me that I shouldn't go with him and that I should stay here with you. Oh, he was so upset. Am I a bad person, Daddy?"

"No, of course not," he denied. "You were just listening to your heart is all. Dallon might be upset now but he's going to realize that this really was for the best."

"You think so?" I asked.

"Of course," he said. "You could never be a bad person, you're my little princess."

I sniffled and nodded, letting Frank rinse my hair.

"You're okay?" Frank asked.

I shrugged softly and he smiled.

"We can set you up with another date," he said.

"Not yet," I mumbled. "I didn't love Dallon like that but my heart still hurts from it."

"Then we'll give you some time before you go on another date," he said.

I nodded. "Daddy, can we buy another neko? I feel bad for hurting someone's feelings today so I just want to help someone."

Frank was quiet for a moment. "Okay, I can find out when another auction is, there should be one soon."

"And I can go with you?" I asked.

"I'm not sure if that's a very good idea," Frank mumbled. "You'd be a little kitten in a place where people are buying nekos to keep as slaves. Someone can just pick you up and take you away."

"Then you can tell them no, tell them you already own me," I said.

"I can't actually seem nice," Frank said. "I have a way to bring you but it might make you uncomfortable. It's okay if you say no."

"What is it?" I asked, looking up at him nervously.

"On a collar and leash," Frank said.

I looked at him, my eyes widening slightly.

"To show people you're mine and I control you," Frank said. "Even if it isn't true, I can't let them find out I actually help nekos live their dreams, they'd never let me buy another one. You don't have to, like I said, it's just--"

"I want to," I interrupted. "I want to be there to help you with the new neko."

"You gonna make them all comfortable in the house?" Frank asked and I nodded excitedly.

"Are you gonna get another kitten?" I asked.

"Oh, I think one little kitten is enough for this household," he said. "We'll get a big neko."

"You always get big nekos," I pouted. "I want another little kitten to play with."

"Baby, if I get another kitten then you won't get as much attention from me," he said.

"No kitten," I said. "I want all your attention because you're one of the first people to ever be nice to me and I really like that."

Frank smiled softly and kissed my cheek.

"So, we'll get another big neko then," he said.

I nodded my head and Frank washed the rest of my body. I used to get uncomfortable at first but now I was so comfortable with Frank after being here for almost two months.

I smiled as his hands ran over my shoulders, soapy suds covered my pale skin. His hands ran over my chubby tummy and legs but Frank never touched my princess parts, he didn't wanna make either of us uncomfortable.

"Daddy, I really want to make you happy," I said.

"What are you talking about?" He asked. "Of course you make me happy."

"Good, I'd be sad if you weren't happy and I'd be a sad boy," I said.

Frank smiled, cleaning me up. The two of us curled up on the couch, watching movies the rest of the day.
