[A/N: Another AU pet person story based on this meme!]

~

Leanne's neighbor, who lives in the house next to hers was an old lady who lives alone. One day she's beginning to see a tall young man with striking long colbalt hair and a pair of cat ears and a tail. He's one of those pet people where their roles is to live as companions side by side with humans.

The mystery man lives with the elderly lady and over the time, Leanne would often see him working for her by cutting his owner's lawn, helping out watering the flowers in her garden, driving his owner's car to bring home groceries, or when it's snowing, shoveling out snow. He cleans the house, and in the kitchen where Leanne can see them together through the window, he helps with the cooking.

Eventually, when they noticed each other and begin to talk over the fence, she learns his story. His name is Kanon and he was adopted by his owner from the shelter, whom he calls his adoptive mom. Before he was adopted, he was an orphaned stray who lost his family in a storm that flooded his area before the shelter people found him, almost dying from hypothermia. She adopted him because her own children have grown up and they moved out in another state, and they wouldn't come and travel to help her around the house.

One day, when Leanne returns home from work, there's a truck where she sees movers moving furniture out of the house, and the old lady's possessions being left out in the open. Kanon was sitting on the front steps in front of the house, on the steps, his tail swish lethargically side to side as he mourns for his owner, and when she peeked inside through the front door, the house is empty.

"Ah...my mother died yesterday." Kanon said, feeling both embarressed and sad at the state of the house and explaining what's going on. "So these guys are taking her stuff and the house will be put up for sale. Her children will come tomorrow to make arrangements for her funeral. As for me, I don't know where else to go. Otherwise I have to go back to the shelter." With a sigh, "It was very sudden. A heart attack. So she left no will and I can't legally own the house. I can't even afford it or pay mortgage."

The poor cat looks depressed, not suring what to do as he sat there, pouring his heart out to his neighbor.

"Cuddle you, of course." He said, though to be honest, he wants her to forget him, and make her warm. The ginger girl cat stirred some feelings within him, but those feelings are being focused and directed at her, and those feelings are telling him to hug her and be close to her as much as possible, giving her affection, and maybe once he gets a chance, he'll be able to kiss her which was on his mind before the fight, but didn't find the right time to give her a special kiss.

"Okay~." And he followed her to her office, waiting to see what kind of tools she wanted to test with and what she was talking about.

Another giggle and she reaches up to scritch under his chin. "Silly boy..." She was smiling and closing her eyes, enjoying the cuddling and feeling of being loved by him. She was unaware of his desires and feelings towards her. "How did I get so lucky to be picked by such a sweet, gentle and handsome cat?"

Leanne leads him to her office and gently taps a wooden chair for him to sit on. "Please let me know if anyone of it is either too weird or if something pleases you." She moves a strange looking microphone out of the way to give him more room.

"This.... This is usually what my videos have." She is blushing so much, hoping that he wouldn't think it would be weird but, at least he will get some pampering from it as she first grabs a large furry looking ball, and idly squeezes it before juggling it a little, trying to see if this will bring out more of his playful nature.

Should it catch his attention, she will toss it towards him before moving behind him to find some oil which has a floral scent. From behind him, she first leans towards one ear whispering softly before leaning towards the other. "I am going to message your head, hair and ears. Please let me know if I am being too rough."

With that, she pours the oil on her hands, slicking up her hands with the oil, moving her hands from one ear to another so he an ear it clearly in each ear before to start massaging his ears.

"Fate brought us, I guess?" He said, thinking about it. It was luck and coincidence, but he already made his mind up to love this woman for the rest of life, and he's willing to learn more from her.

Cheerfully, he sat on her chair, waiting patiently, and with a hum. "Okay." He said, watching her curiously, wondering what she's talking about.

That indeed brought out his curious nature that brought out his inner nature as a cat. "Meow...?" His meow is a deep baritone meow, and his eyes followed the ball, batting at it, even his moves and reflexes is cat-like.

With a nod, he lets her plays and massages his ears. From playful, he becomes relaxed and close his eyes, began purring softly with a deep rumble from his throat. "Hmm, feels nice. Makes me sleepy you know." Except he isn't sleepy and wanted to play with her like this some more. By the looks of it, he's enjoying and having fun being pampered like this.

"That sounds like a good guess." A part of her still can't believe her luck that he choose her to be his owner.

And she couldn't help but to smile brightly at his reaction to the ball. Okay, note to self, get a ball like this for him to play with and potentially destroy with little to no remorse.

The sound of his meow, it was so deep and baritone... He could easily win over any female cat with not only his purrs and good looks, but also that meow.

She smiles as she hears his purring as she massages his ears before moving to his head and hair to start massaging them. Leanne decided to whisper into his ears again.

"I am glad to hear that. But after I am done, perhaps we can take that ball you seem to like and go and cuddle on my bed." She has noticed him sleeping on it more and more often than his own.

He could attract a girl cat with his voice and handsome looks, but his heart is set already on her. With a deep purr of his own, the sound of his meow is really geared toward one female, which is his owner.

Ears and tail perking up, he's whispering back, "Really? On your bed?" His favorite nap place~. "I would like that." His tail swish lazily, getting an opportunity it can get to playfully brush against her.

"Okay. Is there any more you want to try?" He whispered.

It makes her happy, that his heart is set on her and only she is the targets for his meows.

She giggles at his reaction and goes to nod her head. "Yes, of course. I noticed you seem to like sleeping on it more than your own." But the giggles come out even more as she feels his tail playfully brushing her.

"I think we are done in here. You seem like you want to play more than being pampered right now." A small tease as she finishes the massage. She takes a couple steps back in order to rummage through the box to pull out some ribbon. It will be a small toy for them to play with while cuddling.

"You can stay in here a little longer, but I am gonna head for my bed now." She stretches as she starts to walk out of her office and towards her room. Hoping he picked up on the hidden race challenge in her words.

"The massage of the ears is nice." He said, it's a compliment. The sweet smelling scent of the oil is going to remain on his ears. With some practice, they'll make a good video that can help others, but for now, he's a klutz at patience.

With an excited curiosity, he raced after her toward the bedroom. "Wait for me." He hoped she's not tired. He wanted to play a little more before it's her turn to sleep.

Okay, at his compliment, she couldn't help but to beam a little with pride. Maybe tomorrow, together they can make a video. Just to ease him into it and slowly introduce her viewers to him.

She giggles as she hears him racing after her, before she leaps onto the bed. "I win!" She giggles out. Hopefully before he could reach the bed, she pulls out a ribbon and dangles it over the side of the bed, wiggling it to see if she can get his playfulness back into full gear.

Tomorrow will be interesting then...and ribbon attack! Almost in a trance, he pounced on the bed, following after her. All of this teasing as he tugs and pulls the ribbon as she dangles it for him. The ribbon makes crumpled noises as he plays tug of war with her, seeing if he can win the ribbon from her.

It will be, but fun as well. She giggles as she watches him pounced on the bed and after the ribbon. The tug of war lasts for only a few moments, before she pulls out another ribbon to dangle it, in front of him, as giggles and laughter pours out of her mouth freely. The second ribbon, she was gonna try to see if she can make him chase after it after she gives up on the first one. The chase path would be around her, along the bed and then back around her again.

There's another ribbon??? Double ribbon attack! He reaches for the other ribbon, playing tug of war with that one as well, giving chase after around the bed room, making playful meow sounds as he does, and adding her laughter with his own.

"Hey give me the ribbon!" That ribbon is so his~, so he's gives chase after her around the bedroom of her bed, hoping to win the second ribbon as well.

This... This had to be one of the best nights of her life so far, despite the encounter with her ex. Leanne's laughter never stopping and she goes to stick out her tongue at his words.

"Nah-uh! You are gonna have to catch me first!" Fufufu, the ribbon is hers and hers alone! She giggles as he chases her to the bed again and then she moves towards the center of it. The giggles or laughter never stopping as she lets him catch the second ribbon. She goes to flop onto her back, panting a little but having the brightest and happiest smile she could muster as she pants.

He took that as a challenge and continues to give chase while being careful not to crash into anything. Still determined to win that ribbon, he waited for the right moment, and then when he sees an opening, he gave a pounce on her on the bed, successfully catching her.

The result is that he's on top of her and he caught the ribbon, giving it a tug so he could win it. "There, see? I got it!" He said, giving it a triumphant grin, and then climbs off her, to give her breathing room, not without a soft blush lingering on his face.

Leanne lets out a surprise cry as he pounces her and then tugged the ribbon out of her hand. She just looks up at him, not minding he was on top of her, her own eyes sparkling as she looked up at him.

"Yes, yes you did. You are quite the hunter of ribbons." She teases. She catches sight of his blush but for now, doesn't think about it as she sits up and gives him another kiss on the cheek. "I love you, Kanon. I am so glad you came into my life." Even if for now, it is not quite a romantic love.

She reaches up to start petting him, still smiling. "Do you want to play some more or would you like a break and cuddle?"

He fiddles with the ribbons for a bit...until he shreds and tears it to pieces. It felt satisfying. "That was fun, Leanne." He laughs.

"Let's cuddle." Since it's his favorite thing to do before Leanne is ready to go to bed and sleep, and it's his way to bring comfort to her, and press his body close curling up to him. "You do? Love me?" With a soft smile, grinning ear to ear from the kiss on the cheek. "Love me like..." He paused, trying to put words in what he wanted to say.

"Is being a fiance means being a bad person? I thought it means someone you want to marry. But no way you can marry a bad man." He said, thoughtful. "Because I love you. Not the same way I love mom, but I love you like I want to marry you."

She is thankful she bought the ribbon spools in bulk. Great, cheap toy for him. "Yes, it was a lot of fun."

She shifts a little when he affirms he wants to cuddle and nods her head. "Yes, I do love you, my silly and handsome boy." It was hard to see him as a cat and not a man sometimes.

But then his question and confession and it was her turn to blush quite a bit. She goes to look away, idly reaching up to rub an arm. "No, Kanon... Being a fiance is being a bad person. Usually it is a wonderful title next to being called husband or wife. It's suppose to give joy whenever you are called that." A long slow sigh as she remembers all the emotional wounds her ex has left her.

".... Are you sure you would want to love me like that? I am not someone special. I am just me. Plain and boring me." She forces out a chuckle. It was sweet, his words were sweet. She looks back towards him with a small smile. "It does make me happy to hear you love me back."

With a nod, because he knew it all the long, what fiance means. "Husband and wife...like people marry when I saw that show on t.v. They look so happy, because they're going to be mates for the rest of their life, and when they move in together in a new house, they start a family."

Makes a frown face, thoughtful. "Well, it's good you're not going to marry him and not be his fiance anymore. If you're his mate for the rest of your life, I think you'll be sad because he will hurt you every day and I'm not going to forgive him if he hurts you again and again."

Though it's quite common for owners to marry their own pets, so it's not unheard of, as people make reality shows of it and upload their own weddings to their channels. It just that in society, they are more second class, low-class citizens then their full-blooded human counterparts. Looking at her, he rubbed his forehead against her forehead, purring. "Leanne is Leanne. I love you. While I don't know about marriage, I want to stay with you forever."

Nuzzling into her hair, inhaling her scent, and slowly leans forward to give her a sweet kiss, purring into it.

He seems to have a full understanding of marriage and family. Leanne slowly nods her head. "Yes, that is correct. It is great celebration of life and love."

She then forces a chuckle out of her throat. "I would be miserable if I married him. Death would have been a better option than him." Emerald eyes blink back tears at the sound of his purr and his words. "Are you sure? If you stay with me like this, I won't tolerate if your eyes wonder like his did. Especially not towards any cute cat girls. I would want to be the only one you look at and love..." A small pause before giggling out. "... Besides your mother and any children we may have."

Full-blooded humans had their chance with her, it left her broken hearted that she is still healing from. Her eyes close as he nuzzles her hair and then slowly give her a sweet kiss.

.... Was there anything more sweeter than this kiss? Her arms reaches up to slowly wrap themselves around his neck as she goes to return the kiss. One hand, sliding up to start rubbing one of his ears.

He kissed her for a very long time, lips pressing against her soft lips. In fact, it's the first time he truly kissed her.

When the kiss ended, because he needed air, he presses his forehead against hers and with a nod, "Life and love..." Thinking about it, while his mind is trailing off, thinking about his own family, especially his older twin brother who died what seems like not too long ago....what's there to celebrate when he has nothing left? Except now he decides to stay with her, part of him sees Leanne as his own family knowing her this long from neighbor to best friends, and someone he's starting to fall in love with.

He stayed quiet as he listens and he truly believed she didn't want to be with such a cruel, nasty man. In reaction, he felt guilty again for straying his eyes just for a little bit, but from here on, he'll be more determine to please his owner and having his loyally tested. He blushed, wondering if it's possible for him to have children, to truly raise a family on his own. That would be a miracle...and a dream come true.

He laid his head on the pillow and curled up his body against her. It's something to think about since she mentioned about children...and while he looks at Leanne with such loving eyes and opening his heart, he truly doesn't know.

In his mind, he saw himself drowning underwater in a town where it's flooding with so much water...a recent hurricane storm went through this town and the water was so high up to the neck, flooding the homes and the streets. He's trying to save his brother from drowning...but in the end, he has to let go as he couldn't hold onto him for long...it was a flashback...from his fear. Their true parents, he didn't know what happened to them, and for the first few years, he shared them with his brother, they started life as an orphan on the streets.

Up to now, he never told her about what happened to his family, his brother. It's a past and sadness he buried deeply. He only spoke of day to day things of what he was doing with his adopted mother when they talked to each other over the fence. He never told her his fear of water, since his mother helped him tolerate showers and washing clothes and dishes, but being near large bodies of water made him uneasy, even if it's a beach. Now he's here on his neighbor's bed, her bed.

He's about to say 'I don't know', but then quickly thinking about the fight with the awful man. "Don't see him anymore. That man. I'll be worried about you if you do." He gave her a kiss on the cheek again. "I can still smell his cologne on you, so don't forget to take a shower before you sleep."

She didn't want this kiss to end. She... She never was kissed like this before. Such sweetness and love in his kiss. She was blushing quite a bit when he broke the kiss and she reaches up to pet his hair.

She follows suit and lays her head down on a pillow, just watching him, a hand moving to caress his cheek. His eyes shined with such love.... She could get lost in his eyes. "I love you Kanon...." Yes, she will love him. That is what she has decided for better or for worse.

Her eyes blinked at his words before giggling. "Believe me. I don't plan on ever seeing him." She goes to blush even more now. "I know it was hard on you but still.... Thank you.... Thank you for coming to my defense like that." But then his latter words and she quickly sits up. "Why didn't you tell me that I smelled like his cologne?! I am going to need to soak everything off. Probably burn my clothes." A small joke as she moves to get off of the bed, briefly forgetting Kanon was in the room as she starts to strip as she heads to the bathroom. Pausing to die a little on the inside as she realized that she basically stripped to her underwear in front of him.... OKAY! IT IS SHOWER TIME TO REMOVE ALL THE SCENT AND THOUGHTS ABOUT HER ACTIONS!

He blushes when he caught sight of her panties, though briefly, and then sighed. Then slowly, he went to the second smaller bathroom down the hall to take a quick shower, and then get dressed, so when Leanne returns, she'll find her beloved cat already dressed and ready for being, and waiting for her to join him.

When is Leanne ready to talk to him again, "Do you love me, really? The same way a husband and wife love each other?" He was thinking about it in the shower and thinking about it now as he fiddle with his fingers, his ears perk up tail swish, and his meows have a pleasant, husky tone as he speaks.

Her shower was longer than his to wash away the day's events. But now she couldn't help but to blush as she remembers his confession and his kiss. How soft, gentle and sweet it was. She swears she could hear her own heart beating as she replays that memory over and over again.

Did she love him more than platonic type of love? He was the only on she didn't mind being semi-intimate with, sharing her bed with.... Her blush deepens even moreso as she replayed all the weeks he has spent with her. She finally leaves the shower and put on a set of PJs she had lying around the bathroom, not bothering to put on either her panties or binders again.

When she entered her room again, she couldn't help but to smile at the sight of her beloved cat, already waiting for her to join him on the bed. "My silly boy..." She sighs out fondly before joining him. A hand reaching up to idly pet him, her blush returning as she looks at him again.

His question, his question was the main source of her thoughts and she thought on it for a couple of moments. He was so cute right now and his meows seem to take on a pleasant tone. "Yes, I do love you, my silly and handsome boy." She has made her choice, she will love him until the end of her days. "Do you love me in that way as well?"

At that, he rolls his body on the firm bed and curls up with her, putting his arms around her for an embrace, a real embrace that is warm. He feels truly loved, and begin rubbing his forehead against hers, rubbing his ears on her hair while purring quite loudly. Her scent is so much better now, because now she smells like herself and with a bit of him as he rubbed his cheeks against her. Though he's curious more than anything.

"I do. How does it work though? Do I ask you to marry me? Do I have to buy you a ring?" He doesn't have money, and there are days he wondered if he should go out there in the neighborhood and earned it. "Do we get kisses a lot?" So many questions! But he's a curious cat, as his emerald eyes searching her forest green eyes. "And you shall kittens too?" There's a heavy blush as he asked that question. He loves her, and that love means a chance for kittens. "Our kittens? You said children, so that means kittens, right? That was....on my mind when you're away in the shower."

Oh my! She had forgotten just how affectionate he can be. Laughter starts to pour out freely as he rubs her again, purring while embracing her. This... This is what love should feel and be like. Not what she has experienced before.

"So many questions, Kanon!" She giggles out and the smile is back and not looking like it will go away anytime soon. "Usually you will ask me to marry you. Usually you would need to buy me a ring but... It doesn't have to be a fancy one. Just a plain one would do. Basically a ring is a way to say that I belong to you." First set of questions, done! "Yes... we would kiss each other a lot. Kiss and embrace each other." Blushing so much now cause hopefully he would know the next thing. "Yes, children are kittens so I would be having your kittens."

And now she is blushing as his eyes searches her own. "If we ever have one, I would like to think they would be the product of our love." So much more blushing. "At least, that is how I see them."

"Yes, they will be of love. That was what I was thinking." There's silence because Kanon is really soaking in her answers. "Okay, so that's how it works. So here goes..."

Taking a deep breath, his eyes were filled with love, and deep down he badly wanted to kiss her and hug her again and not letting go, but the question is important. "Um, Leanne would you marry me? If you say yes, then we can mate and have kittens and love each other like a family?"

He hoped this is a proper way to ask, as humans do it, and he fidgets hoping he's doing this correctly! Much less figure out a way to actually find money and buy rings, but the way he asks her, that's more important.
