Cat: A little bit of romantic angst. I've never written this before, so don't be surprised if it's bad. Also, the first person who reviews and knows that pairing (very obvious, I know) gets this dedicated to them!
Disclaimer: I don't own Card Captors, Kero, or a puppy. I wish I did though.
Kero's POV
Some days I hate life. I hate drifting here, waiting. Waiting for her to turn around and see me as something more then her best friend's guardian. Waiting to feel her soft skin on my golden fur. Waiting for her to finally realize how I feel about her. But there's really no point to it.
She'll never put down her camera long enough to notice me. And I mean, really notice me. I'm not just a stuffed animal, or a cute fuzzy thing. I hope that one day she'll finally see that, but I know she probably won't.
I can't name the day that I stopped seeing her as Sakura's best friend, as a tag along, or as someone who could capture me on film and make me a star. I wish I could, because then I could say that maybe, just maybe, that's the day that she stopped seeing me as an object before the camera. But there's no chance of that.
When she's not around, I lose myself in video games, pretending that nothing's wrong. Sometimes I even start to believe that.
But most days I know the truth. And the truth is that she'll never see me. Not really.
So I sit on her shoulder whenever I can, breathing in the smell of her shampoo. It's apple most days, but strawberry on first Fridays. Don't ask me why, but it is.
On days that video games don't soothe me, I curl up and cry myself to sleep. I don't think Sakura notices, she just thinks that I'm lazy. I don't care either.
I use the phone as a pillow. The one that she decorated. It isn't the most comfortable, but I always hope that it'll ring. And then she'll come on the line and tell me that she loves me, like I know I love her. But that doesn't happen.
She hasn't called in a while now, and I'm getting tired of waiting. But at the same time, I can't stop waiting. Because some day, maybe she will call, and then all of this waiting will be worth it.
Cat: There's that story, please review so that I feel warm and fuzzy inside.
