Mittens' P.O.V.
„But why me?", I asked silently. „Because I couldn't imagine going anywhere without you!", a soothing voice replied next to me. I cuddled up more into the white dog's fur, purred and felt him smile.
„Do you realize how crazy this all is? You are a TV star, have millions of fans everywhere who would want to be with you, but an alley cat living off pigeons and luck..." - „Yes, I thought about that, but at least you were willing to help me out and-"
„I wasn't actually willing to help you at first, you know..." - „And now?" - „Now I would risk my life to help you." - „Don't say that... I wouldn't want you gone... I wouldn't know what to do then!"
„But you're home now, so even if I wasn't here, you could still lead a normal life..." - „It's not a normal life without you anymore!" He rolled around and put his eyes in front of mine. „Remember the dream I told you about? After you rescued me, we were in the same field I was in at the beginning, but this time together. I wouldn't want it any other way!"
„Really?" - „Really really." His smile returned and he added: „My list of great things about you is still incomplete, you know? I haven't told you the rest of them!" He kept a list of great things about me?
„You helped me out, you are funny, sarcastic yet soft in the right moments and also the most beautiful cat I have ever seen in my life!" I couldn't contain my blush anymore, rushed my face towards his and kissed him.
„I never thought I'd say that anyone, and for sure not to a dog, but I love you. So. Much." Bolt's smile grew into a grin as he whispered: „I love you too. Don't you ever leave me, ok?" How could I? The last thing I wanted was to be without him!
There might have been a lot of things going on in that night for other people, but for me, only one thing mattered: My dog. I knew he would protect me in hard times, confort me in sad times and be happy in good times with me. I knew that I would do everything for him, even if I had to become a whole new cat.
Who knew that one day I'd find someone who loved me? Who knew that it would be a dog? All those thoughts overwhelmed me, and my eyes started swelling up with water.
Bolt immediately noticed and pulled me closer. I dug my head into his neck and cried. As I was sobbing, everything came back to me: My old owners, how they left me, the alleys, the pigeons, the day that I met Bolt and everything about our journey home.
„Shhh... it's ok. Let it all out, you'll feel better soon." I couldn't believe how caring he was! Cats used to be his worst enemies, now he was comforting one... a special cat to him. I've been thinking only thinking about myself for all my life, now I thought about someone else's feelings and interests aswell.
I felt his paw moving up and down on my back, as I slowly cooled down from the emotional rollercoaster of my past. „It's all good, Mitts. You're with me now, and I won't let anyone or anything hurt you."
I looked into his eyes, beautiful as ever, and wiped a tear off my eye. „You are the greatest dog I have ever met." He blushed and replied: „I'm just trying to make you happy..." I smiled and kissed him one more time before lying down between his chest and arm to sleep.
I could feel his heartbeat, soothing, just like his voice. Soon I found my peace again. Just before I was sent into a dream, I heard him say: „I love you, more than you could ever image. Goodnight, Mittens..."
With a smile on my face and a warm feeling in my heart, I faded away into a dream: I was in a big city with noone to talk to, nobody who liked me, until suddenly I saw a big, white dog getting attacked by another dog. I just had to help him.
THE END
I know, I wanted it to last longer aswell, but I feel like this is what an ending should be. Special thanks to Advina for reviewing all the time on every story I ever made, and ShadowScare for talking to me a lot. Welp, I guess that's it then... See you somewhen somewhere else!
