It was a cold, wintry morning, and you were walking home from the Grocery Store - walking, since you didn’t own a car and since you were only fifteen.
While walking, you felt a tug on your scarf. You walked two steps back and saw that the end of your scarf was inside a box.
You bent down and looked inside the box, and you saw the cutest little neko - those wondrous cats - cuddling in your scarf, looking for warmth.
It’s a kitten! How cruel! Who on earth would put this kitten inside a box?! You think.
You were a sucker for animals, so you picked the little guy up out of the box while taking your scarf off and wrapped the neko in your green scarf to keep it from freezing.
After a while, you entered your home and looked at Ticci Toby who was sleeping on the couch, and you went over to him and rubbed his back.
“Toby, I’m home,” you stated. “And I have the cutest thing! You wanna see…”
Toby woke up with a yawn.
“Oh, [your name], I didn’t see you walk in,” said Toby. “What’s wrapped up in your scarf?” The neko wrapped in your scarf poked its tiny little head out, making Toby’s eyes sparkle.
“Aw! Such a cute little kitty!” Toby shouts as the neko pokes his head back in your scarf.
You blushed at how shy the neko was, so you petted its soft head, making it purr from inside your scarf.
“It is so cute, [your name]. Where did you find the little guy exactly?” Toby took the Neko and made faces at it.
“I found him outside a nearby grocery store cuddling in my scarf.” You watch the neko play with Toby’s orange-tinted goggles.
“Does he have a name, [your name]?” Toby asked.
“I don’t know actually…” You mentioned as you looked on his neck for a collar. Spotting one, you read the name that appeared there. “Luno…” You stated, as the neko purred when you carassed its head again.
Luno mewed cutely as he played with Toby’s goggles even more, getting tangled in them.
You saw the neko playing with the end of your scarf and wrapping its body around it too which made you giggle at how playful the kitty was, thinking you couldn’t be happier if you tried.

3 Years Later
(You are now 18; Luno is much bigger, more human)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You were reading a book on the couch, with Luno by your side, cuddling into you while he slept feeling safe next to you.
You looked over at the neko next to you and smiled while petting its head. Luno woke up and looked at you.
“[your name]?” started Luno. “Will we see Toby again?”
You looked at your beloved now teenage neko. “Of course, we will. He’ll visit us too…” You smiled and kissed the top of Luno’s head making him blush bright red as you blushed too.
“I’m glad you found me in that box when I was just a baby,” said Luno. “My old owner must have been mean. He just abandoned me, even left a couple of scars on my neck…”
“Me too. I’m glad because now you don’t have to deal with that old owner, since you have me…” You stated as Luno smiled and cuddled into you.
Your phone rang, and you were getting a video call from Toby so you answered it. Toby waved through the screen. His friend Tim stood next to him, waving as well.
“Hey guys! What’s up?” You asked, as Tim and Toby answer with a simple shrug.
“So, Tim and I were thinking that we could come over so Tim can see Luno! We wanna see how big he got!” You handed the phone over to Luno.
“Hi guys!” Luno shouted as Tim and Toby waved to him.
“Wow, you got big!” cried Tim.
“Yep! I’m 13 years old, and 5 years old in neko years!” Luno shouted as he smiled and purred when you petted behind his neko ears.
Luno handed the phone back to you, so you could continue talking to Tim and Toby.
“Alright, well Toby and I are gonna hang out for a bit! Wanna come with us, [your name]?” Tim asked.
“Sure, and Luno will come too!” You hung up the video call and went outside with Luno, heading to hang out with the guys. It was always an adventure with them.
While sleeping that night, after the long day of fun, you heard Luno whimpering by your bed. You woke up and gently shook him awake as well. Luno looked at you, and you looked back at him. He'd been crying and shivering, so you took him in your arms.
"I had a nightmare," said Luno softly, sobbing. "About when I was younger...being left alone...they didn't want me..."
"You are stronger than then," you said. You hugged Luno tighter. "I want you, and that's all that matters."
As he continued to cry, now out of happiness than sadness, you thought to yourself, "How did I get this lucky?"
