Hey readers, this is a story for the Familiar of Zero.

I've always thought that Saito was unworthy of Louise's affections.

Please, R&R!

Enjoy!

It was Louise's birthing day (A/N: it means birthday) and she had wanted to spend it with Saito, her familiar.

She had been embarrassed at first, but soon got over the fact that her familiar was a commoner when she realized that he was a Gandalfr. They were a special type of familiar that would protect their master from harm, giving them enough time to perform their Void Magic.

Louise wanted to spend the day with the one she had thought was the most special to her: Saito. The only thing was, Saito was a womanizer. Just then, he was with Siesta, hugging her around the shoulders, whispering in her ear.

She had had enough! Louise wasn't going to be the one who relied on her stupid familiar to comfort and protect her. She was a Noble, she had soldiers, men and knights that would - no, wanted to protect her. They just wanted to see her safe, unlike someone.

Why can't I have a normal familiar, Louise thought for the millionth time. A dragon would be nice, or a griffin, maybe even a salamander is better than Saito.

As she thought about familiars and pouting to herself, she hadn't noticed the shadow that was behind her. Someone grabbed a hold of her waist and she was hoisted onto a flying object. She was about to scream, but saw the familiar moonlight coloured scales of a dragon. It was Julio-kun's dragon!

Louise noticed at once that there was something/someone warm behind her. She twisted around in the saddle that Seraphine (A/N: the dragon) had on. All at once, she noticed the brilliance of the rider behind her. It was Julio-kun!

"Ohayo, Julio!" As Louise acknowledged the fact that it was Julio, she found her unhappiness drifting away from her. She always had fun with Julio. He would sometimes bring her out with him (skipping class) for picnics, or to just sit under the trees. The best trips were on Seraphine, Louise loved the altitude and the speed of the dragon and Julio knew it.

Saito's airplane was nothing compared to the warm body of Seraphine and the grace that she had.

Over the short time that they had known each other, they had become really close. Julio had more than once confessed his true feelings of love towards Louise, but he had been turned down. Even so, they were able to become great friends, though Julio told her that he would always be there for her.

He had stayed true to his words, he was there for her always, being a friend, brother, assistant, ear, pillow, punching bag, stress relief ball and more. He was just there.

"Dear Louise, did you miss me?" Julio asked as he plucked one of Louise's small hands into his own larger ones and kissed it, causing Louise to blush, which got a smile out of Julio.

"Julio-kun, stop teasing me like that! You know that I don't love you that way." Her blush got deeper and it caused Julio to chuckle. Suddenly, Louise noticed that the sound of Julio's laughter sounded great and she loved it. He just looked so cute, his golden hair in the wind, along with his smiling face and beautiful eyes.

"Louise, you don't even know how happy I am to hear you say that you love me."

"Urg! I meant it differently!" Louise's beautiful long pink hair billowed around her, making her even more beautiful to Julio, who sighed.

"So, I heard that it's somebody's birthing day today." A mischievous glint entered his eyes, and Louise became scared. The regular Julio didn't tease her like he did today.

Finally, she got the courage and asked for the sake of her friend. "Where did you take Julio-kun? You didn't hurt him, did you?"

The Julio behind her curled up in a ball, tears coming from his eyes. That really scared Louise until she realized that he was laughing. But, he lost control of his laughter and fell off the saddle.

In that instant, Louise tried to grab a hold of him, and was successful. They were holding hands, but their sweat was making it hard for Louise to keep hold of both the saddle and Julio's hand. "Let go," he said. "I don't want you to be in danger, if you don't let go, we'll both plummet to our deaths."

"No!" her defiant cry was in vain. He was readily slipping. Seraphine had been flying for a long time, and they both knew that she wouldn't be able to catch them if they fell.

"Why? Do you even care for me? You know I love you but you haven't told me anything." That stopped Louise's tears as she pondered the question.

"Baka, I would never want you to die. You mean something to me, you're someone that I can't live without." Then, their hands slipped and he fell.

Japanese Vocabulary:

Ohayo - good morning

kun - honorific, addressing or referring to male children or male teenagers. It can also be used by females when addressing a male that they are emotionally attached to or have known for a long period of time. Although kun is generally used for boys, that is not a hard rule. For example, in business settings, young female employees may also be addressed as kun by older males of senior status.

baka - idiot/stupid

Don't worry, another chapter coming up.

Cliffhanger, but meanwhile, how about some reviews?
