Cavall's POV

"You just take a seat." Guila told me as she pointed to the kitchen "I'm just gonna put Zeal to bed really quick."

"No problem, take your time."

Guila headed down the hallway and I took a look around the cottage she shared with her brother. It was simple, rustic yet comfortable. There was wood furniture around the house and the table had some books on it, they seemed to be for school, I assumed they belonged to Zeal.

"I'm back." Guila said walking in "I'll put the kettle on."

"No rush." I told her taking a seat "I've got time."

Guila turned on her stove and waited for the water to heat, we sat in silence.

"I should get the Tealeaves down." She said opening a cabinet.

Guila reached for the top shelf to try and get the mixture for tea down, but she appeared to be struggling to get to the box in the way back.

"Here let me." I said getting up.

"No I can get it…Hup!"

Guila caught the edge of the box with her finger and it fell out of the cabinet and onto the floor.

"Oh rats."

"Let me help."

We both crouched down the pick up the box…and my hand brushed over hers. We both looked up and into each other's eyes.

"Sorry…I'm clumsy some times." Guila said staring back at me.

"It's fine…" I smiled "But don't worry about doing it all yourself I'm fine with helping…"

I don't know how long we were sitting there staring at each other. Neither of us said much, but it seemed like we were drawing closer together…where we so close I could feel her breath on my lips.

*Whistle!*

"The Kettle!"

Guila got up and ran over to the stove.

What was that…did we almost…?

I pushed the thought from my mind and took a seat at the table and Guila poured me a cup of tea. I took a sip I hissed as I burnt my tongue.

"It's delicious." I smiled "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Guila and I sat and sipped tea, conversing about whatever, mostly about her life. She asked me a few questions about my life, and what it was like being a werewolf, I was happy to answer.

God imagine what Ban would say if he saw me sipping tea.

"Something bothering you." I asked Guila since she was looking away from me.

"I just…"

"Hmm?"

"I want to talk about what just happened." She said.

"You mean with Gowther?"

"No." she shook her head "just a few minutes ago…with the tea on the floor."

"What about it…it wasn't-"

"You know what I'm talking about." She looked at me "You had to notice we almost…almost kissed."

I just looked away "Sorry."

It got uncomfortably quiet for a bit.

"It's fine." She mumbled "I moved too…"

"Guila I-."

"Cavall-."

We both blushed.

"You go first." We both said again.

"Haa…" I sighed "Ladies first."

"We need to talk." She said "the two of us…it's obvious we both…"

"Yeah." I shrugged.

"Have feelings for each other."

The air in the room got awkwardly quiet again.

"Well this is awkward." I mumbled.

"Yeah…" Guila responded "I just…don't know what to do."

"Guila I've never had something like this happen." I told her "I've never had feelings like this…what am I saying this is ridiculous."

"Huh?"

"I can't be with you." I said standing up "I'm a monster…you should just keep away from me."

"Cavall…"

"Besides, I'm too old for a kid like you." I said.

"I'm not a kid." She said "I am an adult woman…actually how old are you? Because you don't look much older than twenty or so."

"I don't know." I shrugged "I don't remember when I was born. But I was around 14 years ago when I met master and I looked like a teenager then…werewolves live longer than humans and we age very slowly, we usually stop physically aging around twenty or so…hence why I still look young."

"Well that has nothing to do with how I feel." She said.

"Guila…"

"You are not a monster." She said sitting on the couch and patting me to come sit with her.

"You are not a freak or a monster." She said grabbing my hands "You are a handsome man…a man who saved my life twice? Would a monster have saved some strange girl like me?"

"You're not strange." I said.

"I drank demon blood." She said "We were both monsters."

Guila was getting close.

"I'd say that makes us perfect for each other."

Again…our lips were just…inches apart. Closer and closer…

"Guila…"

"Cavall…"

"Guila!"

We both jerked back as Zeal walked down the hall.

"Oh you're awake." Guila said "What's the matter?"

"Hey kid." I waved.

"I'm hungry." The boy mumbled.

"Okay." Guila said "I was just about to make some soup in a few minutes so why don't you go wait okay?"

"Okay." The boy said running off.

"Sorry about that." Guila said.

"It's nothing…I never had any siblings so I really can't say I know where you're coming from."

"I enjoy it…he's very important to me."

"Yeah I know." I said "Well I should get out of your hair."

I was about to sit up and leave when Guila put her hand on my shoulder.

"You're going to go…we…" Guila leaned in close "Were just about there."

"Guila we can't…"

"Sshhh." She hummed "I want this."

Guila moved forward…and our lips pressed together. The kiss was long…warm and tender. I had never kissed someone before, but being this close to Guila…felt so wonderful.

After a few second we each pulled back, staring at each other and blushing.

"That was…weird." I laughed nervously.

"I liked it." The girl smiled back.

It's like she's shinning in the light.

"Are you sure you don't want to stay for dinner?" she asked me "I could use a hand with dinner?"

"You don't want me anywhere near a kitchen." I said looking at the clock "But…I'm sure Master and the others can wait a bit for me to get back."

"I'll set the table for three then."


Later

I ate dinner with Guila and her brother. It was nice…kinda weird though…it just felt so…normal. Throughout the meal Guila would smile our stare at me. But after a while I really needed to leave.

"Heading back to that bar?" Guila asked me as I stood outside her door.

"Yeah…Listen Guila we're supposed to be going to Camelot in soon…I don't know when we're leaving. But I'm going to be gone for a while."

"How long is a while?" she asked.

"I'm not sure…" I responded "But…you shouldn't wait for me…you're a young girl and I don't want you wasting you're life sitting around for someone like me."

"I will wait for whoever I please." She said hugging me.

"Guila…" I put my hands around her waist "You can't…"

Guila leaned up and kissed me again.

"Just promise you'll be careful…" she said.

"I'll try…"

"Good, cause I'll be here waiting for you." She smiled "So come back to me in one piece okay."

"I'll try…"

"Don't try…do it. Come back to me Cavall...so we can be together." She said.

We separated from our hug and Guila watched me till I was out of view.

Is this what I want in my life…to live dangerously…away from someone who cares about me…is the life of one of the Seven Deadly Sins really what's best…
