Um, hey guys. I know I am a bit late, but I really didn't expect such enthusiastic answers. That's what I love smut for. I write something connected with sex, people are ten times more happy ;D Well, I wish you good read. Oh and again sorry for mistakes.

And as always I don't own.

Waking up to yellow eyes gazing at him intently was not a big surprise. The attention wasn't unwanted either.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jerry said sleepily.

"Shut up." Said Tom returning to his previous focused state "I'm counting your freckles."

"Why?"

The mouse didn't get a reply to that. Well, he could sleep a little more. Closing his eyes proved difficult however, because he couldn't stop observing his cat. He always wanted to be in the centre of the other's attention. Even when he got it, he only wanted more and more. His desire was endless.

"Twenty seven" said his partner with a strangly serious expression.

"So I have almost thirty freckles on my face. You think it makes me unattractive for humans?"

"I think it makes you look like a kid." Answered Tom smirking.

"Oh, shut it kitty-cat." The mouse said affectionately, leaning over him to attack his mouth.

Suddenly, they heard a noise from downstairs. Something has fallen on the floor and it was not something light. They carefully went to the living room. What they saw terrified them.

A real, alive lion was sitting on their couch. The thing that created the noise must have been a coffee table that was laying on the floor. The big cat looked at them with it's incredibly intelligent light-brown eyes. It didn't seem alarmed by their appearance, just looked them over calmly, like a king observing his new servants.

They weren't stupid. There was no point in doing anything, other then escaping. They were shoving each other in hope to be the one that gets out first. Caring that they're naked seemed unreasonable.

When they opened the door a man was blocking their way to safety. He had a nice face and was a little plump. Looked about forty years old. Jerry immediately recognized him.

"Ben Stricher!" he exclaimed loudly.

"Who?" asked Tom, although it really wasn't the best time for that conversation.

"You remember that guy who travels around the world and helps people? We watch him on TV on Sundays."

"Ah! Tell the bastard to take his lion away!"

Ben Stricher was looking at them with curiosity and amusement. He rose up his eyebrow questioningly hearing the word 'lion'.

"Boys" he said in his nice, but very low voice. "I don't think the neighbors will be happy seeing you unclothed." They looked down at themselves. "Well, some might, but I don't think you pin for this kind of attention."

"Stop looking pervert." Growled Tom low in his throat. The man just laughed in answer.

"Shall we go in?" the TV star said.

"We can't. There is a lion, like we said." Jerry explained.

"Oh, you don't have to be afraid of any animals when you're with me."

They seriously doubted that but went in anyway. Something like an invisible strength was pushing them in.

When they got to the living room the lion was still in the same place.

"You know what, I might have been a bit wrong about your safety." Said Ben "I said you don't have to be afraid of animals, but this isn't an animal. But then, I am not human either, so…"

"What do you mean?" asked the cat terrified.

"Ah, don't worry Tom. We are Peace's friends."

"Speak for yourself." Said a female voice. Suddenly, there wasn't a lion anymore. In his place sat a young women with golden hair, wild features and the same light-brown eyes. She was no less scary then when she was an animal. "I'd never call her my friend."

"So are you… are you gods too?" asked the mouse, not sure what to think of the situation.

"We used to be." Said Ben with a hint of sadness. "But we have fallen."

"Wait." Tom was trying very hard not to look moved by the whole matter. "I don't understand what you're saying at all, Ben."

"A fallen god decides to live among humans. Or- in Peace's case- is cast down from the kingdom. And my name's not Ben. It's Love."

"L- love? You mean that the God of Love has decided to live among humans just like that?"

"Kind of? You know, down here everyone needs me."

"Oh, shut up, you're making me sick." Said the women. She then proceed to look Tom up and down with approving eyes.

"Um, excuse me Miss…" Jerry started, feeling uncomfortable with someone looking at his lover like that.

"It's Pride. Don't mind her. She has such strong cat obsession she fell because of it. That is a main reason she's helping me."

"Helping you?"

"Peace asked us to watch over you a little."

"Wow, that is … very nice of you."

Jerry was very uncomfortable. Love was just sitting there looking at them with curiosity. The fact that they were clothed now didn't help one bit. Pride was enjoying Tom's company and when the women proved to be no threat, the cat let her pet him and even smiled when she said something funny. She completely ignored the mouse. It was strange, considering that most gods showed open dislike to his partner. Well, at least Jealousy, Innocence and even Justice did. Nature and Peace were something of their mother figures, so they didn't count. Love probably had liking everyone in his job description.

"You're wrong." The god said unexpectedly.

"Excuse me?" Jerry asked dumbfounded.

"I don't have to like everyone like you're thinking. You and other gods must understand that gods aren't that different from humans. We have likes and dislikes, we experience feelings."

"Can you please not read my mind?"

The boy was sure that any god who would read his mind would get a bit…scared. They could call his obsession with Tom unhealthy.

"Other might. But I hold the power of lust too."

"I thought that lust is different from love."

"Love's complicated." Said Ben with a smile. "And as for your partner, I must say I'm not surprised."

"What do you mean?"

"He's a cat." Said Pride suddenly. For a minute Jerry thought she would leave it at that, but then she spoke again. "People usually find things related with cats attractive. They're symbols of flexibility, freedom and double character. Never watched cat-women, did you?"

"Uh… no."

"Shame. You really should. Judging by your…" she looked over at Tom "… tastes, you would enjoy it."

The conversation ended and Jerry was desperately looking for a safe topic.

"I remember that someone said Innocence spent a lot of time with you." Said Tom directing it at Love.

The god's face suddenly became sad and all signs of a smile were gone.

"Oh shit." Pride gave her input. "Now we're gonna hear the soppiest story of all times."

"Me and Innocence…" he stopped to let Pride say her 'someone, please kill me' and continued "we used to travel together. We were very close to becoming soul mates. But… you have seen her wings, haven't you? People sins, their dirty natures influenced her. She tore them out when she couldn't take it anymore. I had to get her back to paradise. I begged the council and they agreed on one condition, that we won't see each other anymore."

"That is-" Jerry started "-really heart breaking."

"That really does explain some things." Added the cat.

"Oh please." Started Pride "nobody cares that your heart got broken. Even you must suffer from your power."

"It is not my fault that Nature choose Peace over you, sister."

"Shut up, I know! It's all that bitch's fault."

Jerry understood something. The paradise they were talking about was corrupted and no longer a happy place. The war really might be unavoidable.

"You're right." Said Pride. For the first time she was looking directly at him. It was really scaring the shit out of him. "And in this circumstances you need something for protection."

She handed them a knife. It didn't look very terrifying. A normal knife used to hunt animals.

"It was covered in my blood." She said. "You have a small chance of killing a god with it, but if you stab them in vital places they should escape to recover." She looked at them seriously.

Both Tom and Jerry gulped noisily.

"Don't worry" said Love, trying to ease the atmosphere "Nature will do everything to stop the war. You just leave it in her hands." He smiled reassuringly.

They talked some more. Love told them about many things going on around the world and Pride told them her adventures as a lion in Africa. By night time they decided it was time to go.

"We will protect you when the need arises, just pray to us." Said Love. Tom was further in the house saying his goodbyes to Pride. "And I have something for you." He whispered giving the mouse a small bottle with a transparent liquid "This is a love potion. If you ever decide that you want Tom to love you back use it. But be careful. There is no antidote."

"Why would I need an antidote for a love potion?" Jerry asked surprised.

"There are things you must understand about love. But in this case it may be important that Tom feels drawn to you. Or may not. I don't see the future."

"Thank you."

When both gods were gone he hid the bottle in his personal locker. He thought that he probably wouldn't use it.

Well, how did you like it? Sorry if it seems a bit… boring (for lack of better word). After Christmas I have so much food that this slows down my thinking. Because I just looove food. Funny thing is I'm really skinny and I eat like a man. I hope I don't have this horrible thing in my stomach that eats everything I eat. Should check it out. Sorry for boring you again.

Anyway review. You might flame me (but I can't guarantee I won't sulk). This time I request 6 review, because I got more then I asked for before this chapter. Bye, then!
