It’s a form of shapeshifting. Like I can’t change into a dragon or a guinea pig, but I can change my appearance.

Oh! That is really cool. I wish I could do that. 

Yup it is a cat.

I love cats. 

It’s kind of a joke from my power. I have the ability to human morph so I’m kind of like a variable…X.

Oh! What does that mean? Human Morph? 

When he felt her nose touch his, he just stared at her. He stopped listening to her and just stared at her perfect face, her perfect eyes, her perfect lips. He kissed her. For a second, it was pure bliss until the realization struck him. He was kissing her! He pulled back suddenly and stared at her, waiting for some of response. 

Mandy didn't even realize she was being kissed until about a second in, and she felt like her heart literally skipped a beat. It was a second later that he pulled away, not even giving her a chance to respond. She let out a little breathe she didn't know she held in, looking at him for a moment her eyes slightly wide. When he was brave, she was brave. So she leaned back towards him and pressed her lips to his. 

It doesn’t seem to make a difference, they act like they’re protecting me from something. As if that justifies everything.

What do you believe they are not telling you? I mean maybe they are trying to protect you, but if you feel very strongly about it you should just be open with them and tell them you don't want the protecting.

At the sound of her laugh, a grin broke out on Dante’s face. When she leaned towards him, he followed by doing the same so that they were almost nose to nose. “Well second place isn’t something to be ashamed of. In fact, I think you can take the title from me one day.” 

Mandy leaned forward just a little more so that her nose was pressed against his with a giggle. She had her hands cupped over her coffee, holding back more laughter that was dying to escape at his comment. "Oh you think? Maybe I will. I do wanna be number one prettiest girl in the world one day. It is my life aspiration." 

There’s nothing more disappointing than realize that everyone you should trust seems to hide things from you.

You should tell these people how you feel. 

Dante watched Mandy take another sip of her drink and did the same. When he noticed her blush, he grinned a little to himself. It was a nice feeling to know that he has caused that. “Exactly and I’m the prettiest girl here!” He teased back with a wink. 

Mandy couldn't help but let out a loud laugh, her hand clamping over her mouth. "Oh of course! That was a dumb question. You are the prettiest girl I have ever seen in my whole life." She joked, leaning forward towards him a little. "I am even a little jealous."

As they walked, one thing Dante definitely didn’t expect was the feeling of Mandy’s lips on his face. At first he was just surprised. He looked at her and then ran his finger where her lips touched before a grin formed on his face. He didn’t mention it but he was definitely in a better mood now. He sad opposite from her and took a sip of his own drink. “Sitting in Starbucks with a pretty girl, what more could I ask for?” He asked with a smile mirroring her own. 

Mandy watched as he ran his finger along the spot where she kissed his face and couldn't help but giggle a little. It was such a small little thing, but to her extremely cute. Taking another sip of her coffee she felt a blush creep onto her cheeks and tried to play it off like it was just the warmth of the coffee, looking around the coffee shop. "Pretty girl? Where? Me you and that old guy over there are the only people here!" She teased, giving him a little grin. 

Dante quickly followed her inside and sighed happily at the sudden rush of warmth. It wasn’t as if he didn’t like the cold. He was born and raised in New York, the cold was fine but he was usually better equipped for it . He tapped her nose again before nodded intently at her statement. “Seems defrosted to me,” he laughed before ordering his own drink. Once they got their drinks, he wrapped his arm around her and guided her along to find a seat. He was feeling bold. 

Feeling his arm go around her she couldn't help but smile, biting her lip a little. Mandy liked it when he felt bold, because it made her feel it as well. When he was brave, she was brave. Leaning up she gave him a quick kiss just under his chin before she sat herself down in a chair, taking a sip of her coffee. "Mmmm, pumpkin spice. This is the life ain't it?" She took another sip, looking over at him with a big smile on her face. 

He looked down at her hand rubbing his arm and gave he a small smile. It didn’t do a hole lot but he appreciated the sentiment. He supposed to was time to switch from fall clothes soon. “Well it definitely feels cold but it’s a nice cold,” he laughed. “Let’s go go go!” He exclaimed walking faster. 

Mandy skipped a bit, pulling him along as she laughed. Once she got to the Starbucks she swung open the door, feeling the heat from inside hit them as they walked inside. "Ahhh yes, the defrosting of the nose." Pulling him closed against her she smiled up at him then lead them to the counter ordering her drink. 

For someone who’d lived a rather lavish life, just walking out in the cold with a girl would’ve been a boring activity but for some reason Dante felt more content at this moment than he had for a long time. “I guess you’re right but I just wished I wore something that covers up a bit better,” he said looking down at his thin cardigan. “Is the tip of your nose cold?” he asked, reaching over to tap her nose. 

Reaching up with her sleeve over her hand, she started to rub the boys arm a bit, knowing it wouldn't do much but she wanted to at least try and help him warm up a bit. Her sweater was warm enough to keep her cozy for the short walk to the coffee shop. When he tapped her nose she giggled and wiggled it again, nodding her head. "It is cold yes. I love it. Then when we get to Starbucks we will defrost and it will be lovely."
