The Seven Realms Series belongs to Cinda Williams Chima.

"Cat!", he said.

This was unexpected. Han had not expect Cat to be here. He thought she was at practice. Not that it was a bad thing but still, it was surprising.

Han stood up from his chair and turn fully towards Cat. "Cat! What are you doing? I thought you'll be in practice." "It doesn't start in two hours.", Cat said. Han smiled, "that's nice, means you get to enjoy your morning for a little while." Han was about to ask Cat if she wanted to eat something but realized Fiona was still here with him. He looked back to Fiona and then back to Cat. Then thought how this would look. Him and Fiona at this Cafe, sitting at this table, eating, and talking. Sounds like a date, and sounds like a misunderstanding. Han open his mouth to explain.

"Um... Cat. This- this is not what it looks like.", Han said nervously. "You s-see, Fiona-." Cat put her right hand up to Han's face. "I know... I heard you." His face looked confused. "You... you heard?" Cat nodded. "Everything, everything that you said about me." Han was taken aback. Cat heard everything, this made him looked down with embarrassment. "Oh um... I...", Han didn't know what to say next. Cat giggled and grabbed his face. "You look cute when you're embarrass." Han had a defensive look. "Oi... I ain't cute!" Cat smirk, "You're right, you're handsome." She pulled him into a deep kiss.

Han went wide eye for a bit before closing them. People around started to stare, even Fiona who just smiled and the group in the alley watched as well. Both Rebecca and Annamaya Smiled at the couple, Amon smirked, and Talia was teary eye a bit but it wasn't sadness.

They both stopped kissing.

Then both were staring at one another and smiled. "You still really mean all of that?" Cat said. Han kissed her again, "I swear it." Cat giggled and began hugging Han tightly. "You better." Han hug back tightly as well. They hugged for a few moments before letting go. Neither of them was looking away from one another.

"Now, my turn. What are you doing here? Ain't you suppose to be in class?", Cat said. "Yeah but when I was about to turn the corner to my classroom, I bumb into Fiona here." Han then thought about the kiss Fiona gave him, " A-nd after I helped her up, she told me that Adam had partner up the class for a assignment. Fiona was the last to not have a partner and I was late so he partner up Fiona with me. She was gonna tell me about it and that's when I bumb into her. The assignment was to practice magic on each other. In order to do that, we have to go around the campus and find a place where to practice magic without burning down the school. So that's why we are not in class."

"That's nice, practicing jinxes on each other. Shame you didn't partner up with Micah, you would have fun flaming that snob.", Cat said smirking. "But... what are you doing here?" Han rub the back of his head and had this nervous look. Cat looked at Fiona, she looked a bit guilty. That's when Fiona stood from her seat. "Well... we... had this accident.", Han said. Cat looked confused and a little worried. "It's my fault.", Fiona said.

Fiona was now side by side with Han. She grabbed her arm and looked down at the ground. "While we were using spells, I was doing offensive ones while Alister was doing defensive. I shot a fire spear at him and he put up a ice wall." Fiona closed her eyes, starting to tear up a bit. "The wall did not hold... it exploded and sent Alister flying hard to the ground."

"What?!", Cat shouted. She put both her hands on Han's shoulder, checking for damage, feeling concerned. "Are you okay? Where are you hurt? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you go to the infirmary? She looked back at Fiona, with a angry frowned. "Why did you do that Bayer? Why didn't you hold back with your jinx? You could've killed him!"

Fiona was beginning to cry. Han grabbed Cat gently, "Hey hey... I'm fine. The only thing hurting is my leg but other then that, I'm fine. Don't be mad at Fiona about it. Yes she did blasted me to the ground but she helped me after that. Then as a apologie, she bought me breakfast." Cat frowned, "But-." Han put a finger in her lips, "no buts. I'm fine Cat... I'm fine." Han lower his head, closed to Cat's ear. "Come on... look at Fiona." Cat looked away from Han to Fiona.

She was crying. She felt guilt. Cat was surprised. From what she knew about Fiona from Han, she thought she never cried. Han would always tell her how Fiona was cold to everyone, that's why she was nicked name The Ice Queen.

Cat lost the frowned, now replaced with guilt.

Cat lets go of Han, and walk slowly towards Fiona. Fiona still had her head down, eyes closed, and was still crying so she did not notice Cat walking towards her. "Um... hey...", Cat said. Fiona open her eyes and raised her head slowly, looking at Cat.

Cat took a deep breath.

"Look... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell it's just... I was concerned about Han... and I...", Cat looked like she was having trouble saying something else. She was never really the best at apologizing, but she was trying. "Just... don't cry.. ok. I'm not mad." That was sorta true, she did anger towards Fiona but it's not much. Cat went as far as putting her hand on to Fiona's shoulder. She patted it awkwardly. Fiona stared at Cat, still weeping a bit. She then rub her eyes to wipe away her tears.

She then breathe in and out, trying to control her sadness. "It's just that..." It was a little hard to control. Cat then put her other hand on Fiona's shoulder. "Hey... listen. It's fine, I might've overreacted a bit but I can't help it. So of course I'll be worried and might not be thinking straight. But if Han says his okay, he's okay. So... don't be sad ok? Because now you're making me feel guilty for once." it wasn't the best apologies but it will do.

Fiona's cry was coming to an end.

Han took out a handkerchief from his vest pocket and handed it to Fiona. She grabbed it and began blowing her nose. As she was done, she gave it back to Han who just picked it from his fingers and dropped it on the table where they were sitting. Tears were now gone, eyes were red from crying. Fiona took a breath in and then out. "Better?", Han said. Fiona nodded. "Thank you... Cat.", Fiona said. Both Han and Cat looked at Fiona with wide eyes. "Did she just said thank you?", both thought in unison. Another surprised from the list of surprises they had today.

They both chuckled now, with Fiona slowly joining them.

"I'm glad we got that out of the way.", Han said. Both girls nodded in agreement. When they stopped laughing, Cat remembered something. "That's right! I came here with people." She turned around. "Come on out guys!" The first to come out was Annamaya, followed by Talia. "Hello Hanson.", Annamaya said. "Annamaya! Talia?" , Han said with shock on his face. "Hey Alister.", Talia said. The next to come out was Amon which shock Han even more. "Amon?! What are you doing here?!" Amon waved his hand awkwardly. "Well uh... same as everyone I guess." There was someone behind him, Han couldn't see. It wasn't just someone behind, they were hiding too.

"Why are you hiding behind him Rebecca?", Cat said. Now Han was beyond shock. "Rebecca?! She's here too?! Cat nodded. "Me and Annamaya met them at the market. Talia thought it was a good idea for us to come together this Cafe.

"So... Rebecca, why are you hiding?"

"Because I can!", Rebecca said in clan. Cat was confused. "Why are you speaking in copperheaded language now? I can't understand it." "Who is Rebecca?", Fiona said curiously. "She goes to the warrior school, she and Han had these private tutoring sessions somewhere where she was teaching Han on how to be a blueblood.", Cat explain. "Ooooohhhh... no wonder Alister's speech is getting better.", Fiona said. Fiona walked up slowly to Amon.

She the crossed her arms and smirked. "Well well, look who is here. You know, I'm not all that surprised you're here in Oden's Ford. Me and Micah were expecting you to show up." Fiona put her finger on Amon. "Micah was also expecting someone to be with you. I don't really expected it but... is she here?" Amon was sweating a bit. "Who are you talking about?" Fiona giggled, "you are such a bad liar. It's written all over your face." Fiona lean in to Amon's face. "Tell her to be careful, Micah has been talking about going to the warrior school, said someone he thinks is there." Fiona moved away from Amon before winking.

This caught both Amon and Rebecca's attention.

Both Cat and Han had to so many questions to say.

But didn't speak up.

Han did had one question in his mind. "Why did Fiona ask who Rebecca is? Didn't Rebecca said she used to tutor the Bayer twins back home? Rebecca peaked over Amon's shoulder to look at Han. She was worried what Han might think now he knows Fiona doesn't know who she is.

"Anyways, all this tense stuff is making me hungry. Let's eat now.", Talia said. Annamaya smiled, "yes... lets." What a great way to move along.

Talia and Annamaya proceeded to sit at the table where Han and Fiona sat since it was right there. "Come here Amon, Rebecca. Pull out a sit from this table next to us.", Annamaya said. Amon was afraid to move, because of Fiona. Fiona knew what was up. "I'm actually about to head back. I'm tired anyways to stay.", Fiona said. She looked at Han, "And don't worry Alister, I will bring your stuff later. I'm going back there to get the books. I'll bring it to your dorm." With that said, Fiona pulled out her purse and took out some girles and gave it to Han. "Here, for the food. Take care of yourself Alister." She hugged Han and left.

Both Rebecca and Amon were now comfortable... for now.

Rebecca stepped out from Amon's back. She was now visible to Han. "Hello Han.", she said. "Hello...," he said awkwardly. Han wanted to asked his question but couldn't. He felt like it wasn't the time nor place to discuss this.

"Listen Han... about what Fiona said I-." Han put his hand up. "We'll talk about it another time." "But-" "Another time. All this talking is making me tired. About tonight's lesson, let's reschedule. I'm going to Cat's recital." Han put the money on the table. "Enjoy."

With that, Han began to walk.

Rebecca didn't get to say what she wanted to say. She just let it go for now and went to grab a chair and sat next to Talia. Amon took a seat next to Annamaya. "Cat, would you-." Annamaya was surprised to see that Cat wasn't with them anymore. She looked around. "Where did she..."

Later on the way to the dorm.

"Han!", Cat shouted. Han looked back. "I thought you were gonna eat with them." "I was, but then I thought about you and wanted to know if you would like some company?", Cat smiled. Han smiled back. "Sure, why not?" Cat giggled and grabbed Han's hand. They started to walk.

"Are you ok?", Cat said, concerned. "Yeah... I'm okay, just... thinking." "About?" "Things..." Cat frowned. "Don't start hiding things." "I'm not Cat, don't worry." Han wrapped his arm round Cat. "I'll tell you later, I promise. Right now, let's go back to the dorm. We probably have an hour before you go to practice."

"An hour huh?", Cat thought.

Cat moved away from Han and grabbed his arm and pulled him into an alley. "Whoa!" She pulled him into and alley where they turned a corner and a dead end was there. There were crates too, and not that dirty. "Cat, what are yo-" Han didn't get to finish his sentence when Cat put her lips on Han's and pushed him into the dead end wall. Han didn't know how to react but he kissed her back in returned.

Cat pulled away a bit. "What was that for?", Han said. "You said we have an hour and I ain't gonna wait untill we get to the dorm." "You wanna do it here?", Han asked. "Yes", Cat said bluntly. "Now, more kissing, less talking." Cat kissed Han more deeply.

The kiss was now more rough, fighting for dominance. Han began kissing Cat's cheek, then her neck. He started to unbutton her shirt. Cat helped him with it and removed her shirt. Han continued kissing her chest, licking it a bit. Cat moan softly. Cat began to unbuckle Han's pants and pulled them down. Han did the same with Cat's trousers. Cat was only in her undergarments with Han only with his shirt. Han pushed her slowly to one of the crates and laid her down. Han took off Cat's underwear and threw it to the side, and pulled down his undergarments and entered her. Cat moan very softly. She pulled Han down into a deep kiss before letting go. Han started to move his hips in and out slowly. He started to pick up the paced and Cat was moaning a bit loud now. Han kissed her to muffled her moans. Cat cling onto Han's back, digging her nails in. Han grunted a bit.

They continued this for a while before stopping, getting dressed, and leaving the alley, satisfied.

Han walked with Cat to the theater.

To be continued.

Finally done with this chapter, took to long to type down.

I feel relieved now.

As for the last scene, I'm not that good with scenes like this so sorry if it was short and I didn't really want to go into too much detail about it.

Soo... yeah.

Just wanted another Han and Cat moment.

Now then, Next chapter will be the last for Act 1.

I wanna do 10 chapters for each Act.

I believe I know how many Acts I want.

After Act 1 is finished, I'll be taking a break from it for a while, I've been putting out chapters each week and I'm buring out.

It will also help me plan for the next Act.

Anyways, Thank you for reading.

Final Chapter for Act 1 coming soon.

See you next time.
