You were on your way to the Cafe as you strolled the busy bustling streets. The branches of the trees are howering the pathway, forming an arch as if walking under a bridge. As you were happily humming Starish's song, you heard a familiar voice singing along with you.

His voice is somehow sweet and calming like an idle tree. You quickly checked for the source of the voice, leading you to a young man with dark brown hair and naturally tanned skin. Currently, he was basking under the sun while lying under the tree, asleep at the same time.

Before you could even call his name, he woke up and saw you. He smiled and said:

"It must fate to meet you here."

You just stare at him, full of shock. He then stood up; approach you and knelt down as if he wants to propose to you AND kisses your hand at the latter.

"May you be blessed by the muses of music," he told you with a smile.

You just looked at him in an awe as you are expecting something else. The sweet(maybe not) moment ended swiftly as soon as a deep voice yelled out his name angrily.

"Oh no, they must have found out that I'm skipping work!" He said as he scampered around to find a hiding spot. "If only I'm a cat..."

'No wonder he's relaxing here...,' you thought to to yourself in silence.

"Oy, Cecil! Come out right now before I come and tear you into shreds!!" the voice yelled as it kept on getting louder.

Cecil was hiding behind you in cowardice. He couldn't even face whoever is shouting his name right now. You decided not play along with Cecil's tyranny act and answered the voice's doubts.

"Cecil's here!" You called, which made Cecil frantically jumped like a cat, knowing that it's going to be chased by a dog.

The person then appeoached to you two and pulled Cecil's collar angrily.

"Thanks to you idiot, that stupid count made me an errand boy!" He began angrily as he dragged Cecil all the way back to the Cafe. "Thanks for telling me, (first name)."

"Um...I hope I did the right thing..." you replied softly but in your mind is like: 'Oh no!!! I didn't want Cecil to get hurt but...it's his fault for slacking...'

And so, the three of you made way to the Cafe, to be welcomed by the 'being-forced-to-smile' Camus.

"You are finally back, fools!" Camus bellowed as his eyebrow knitted together to form a 'V' on his forehead. "Did you know how many customers need your presence?!" While jabbing his index finger onto Cecil.

"I'm sorry...I just couldn't take in all the fortune telling that I made earlier. I actually made a customer cry with that..." Cecil apologised while looking down to his feet guiltily.

"If you mean that girl over there, she's now smiling happily," Ranmaru pointed out bluntly.

"Eh...? How did that happen?" Cecil asked, puzzled.

Camus sighed in relieve as he seen the situation but decided to pry further about what Cecil did just now to make that girl cry.

"She asked me if she can get a boyfriend this year so I told her that her significant being will appear in 3 years time. She then cried," Cecil explained.

Ranmaru just sighed as he entered the Cafe while muttering to himself.

"Did you see the way she cried? It must have been happy tears," you told him with a smile to make him feel better.

Before Cecil could answer you, the girl called for him. Cecil nearly ran away but you stopped him just in timeby tugging on his sleeve. The girl then, apologised with a bow and said that she was happy that she didn't have to worry about her life that much anymore. Cecil was relieved and at the same time shocked due to his failed attempt in understanding the girl's expression. He smiled and said:

"I'm happy that I cleared your doubts instead of making you disappointed."

The girl smiled and thanked him for helping her and left the Cafe. Cecil waved at her as she left. You looked at Cecil while thinking that if he could do that to you one day.

"Thank you for stopping me from escaping just now. If you didn't, I may not be able to overcome this problem," Cecil told you as he held your hand which was tugging onto his sleeve.

"I-it's nothing..." you told him shyly as you retrieved your hand from him. "I'm just trying to help, that's all."

"Let me repay you with a free fortune telling. Would you be up for one?" Cecil asked. You agreed to his proposal.

Cecil then lead you to the fortune telloling station but was filled with a line of never ending customers. Feeling disappointed, you decided to let the customers who have been waiting for a long time to do the fortune telling earlier than you.

"Are you okay with it...? Forgive me if I couldn't be of any help," Cecil apologised as he walked to the station and began fortune telling.

Until all the customers have had their fortune telling done, you decided to chill with a cup of beverage and some snacks.

1 hour later...

"Sorry for the wait, (first name)!" Cecil said as you sat infront of him. "What would you like to know?"

"Hm...how well do you know about me?" You asked him, trying to test him whether his ability to read is real or not despite the fact that you actually seen it an hour ago.

Cecil then remained quiet as his turquoise orbs began staring right into you as if he is trying to unravel the mysteries in your soul. You just stared at him, somehow intimidated by his stare.

After that, he began telling you the things that he know and the things that will happen in the near future to you. The parts regarding you were all true. As expected of Cecil.

"How did you...?" You questioned him as you didn't quite believe his truant.  "Did you check on my backgrounds without mw knowing?!"

"I wouldn't do such under handed tricks!" Cecil protested as quickly as possible.

"Fine I believe you..." you told him as you pouted. As you succumb into your disappointment until you remembered that you used to play fortune telling with your friends. You decided to try it on him.

"Um...Cecil, would you like me to try foretell your inner self?" You suggested out of the blue as you took out a set of playing cards. Cecil only replied you with a confused nod.

The event began as you shuffled the stack of cards and lay them on the table. You asked Cecil to pick a card and he picked one. You asked him to show you the card and after that, you explain how much you know about his innerself.

"You are the kind of person who would help someone when in need and will always protect them. You love singing for your muse and for your country," you explained. "Despite being a person from a distant country, you are quite open and is always there to cheer others up even if they are strangers."

Cecil remained silent as he listened to your theory. He was surprised and at the same time amused. Did everything about him got exposed by you? Or was he just laughing because you didn't got it all correct?

"Good job, you nearly got all of them," Cecil complimented as he pats your head. You pouted in response because you thought that you got them all correct.

'She's amazing. It's the first time that there's someone who understands me more than I do,' Cecil thought with a smile.

"Cecil, treat me a cake!" You said as you couldn't admit defeat. "If you do, I will be happier than ever."

Cecil let out a slight chuckle as he stood up. He then leaned his face near yours and peck on your lips.

"Before letting the taste of cake ruin your cherry lips, I shall be the first and the last one to devour you," Cecil teased with a smirk. You just blushed like crazy. Cecil is just so full of surprises.

"You should have told me before you do it!!" You exclaimed, embarrassed by his actions. Cecil turned around to face you and winked.

"If I did, you might not accept me," Cecil replied playfully as he left to somewhere.

"So...no cake...?" You asked yourself as you remembered what he said a while ago(...the first and the last...).

See you again~

Cecil: May the muses bless each and every of my princesses.
