Y/N's POV~
                          
I look at Blake and his hopeful eyes and loving smile. I couldn't say no to that face of his. I nod and say "Sure, I'd love to." All the others looked at me and said "WE'LL GO TOO!!!" Blake holds me close to him and says "Sorry, but this weekend is exclusively for me and Y/N" A dark aura emanates around them. I quickly go to the others and say "Don't worry! I'll all go to your houses some other weekend." They nod and all hug me at the same time in a big group hug. It's so soft and fluffy! Blake managed to pull me out and hug me. Unlike the others, it was a soft and gentle hug. He kisses my forehead and I blush. He chuckles and nuzzles his face into my hair. Probably taking in my scent again. "Are you sure you don't want to know what kind of shampoo I use?" He chuckles and says "I'm sure." Anthony and Fireoy both look at me. They both say "creepy" in a quiet way. They were probably referring to Blake's little 'habit.' Soon, our meeting was concluded, but before I would go and spend the weekend at Blake's, I asked them all to come home with me and explain to me what the 'top 6' is or whatever it was. When we got home, I went into my bedroom and they all followed. I sat on the floor, only to be placed into Ace's lap. The others glares at him and he stuck his tongue out at them before licking my cheek. The others sat on the floo- er Ace's lap. The others sat down on the bed and Alex sat at my desk. I then said "Okay guys, please explain me the whole 'top 6' deal, please?" They all chuckled and just said that I was cute. Blake was the first one to answer my question and said "The top 6 is a thing between the students of our grades. It started when three popular girls from each of our grades decided on who the hottest, nicest, and cutest people in our grade were. They each chose two people and they were all from different activities. Soon, it spread throughout the grade faster than the plague." I nodded and Ryan continued. "Just so you know, this thing started when we were in elementary, so the people who made it up have long passed graduated. And they all were in different grades too. That's what brought about the whole 'top 6' thing. They each chose two guys from their grade. However, for some reason, the tradition stayed. And well, all of us just happened to be part of the top 6." I wait and think for a moment. "Wait, this whole thing was made up by girls, right? And still is?" They all nod and ask "What are they all going to think when they find out that you all like a guy?" They all shrug and Jonathan says "Who knows? Who cares? Let them think what they want. It gives the lgbt's in our grade hope. As long as I'm here with you, no one is going to even think of hurting you." There was a moment of silence. I sat their quietly and a few seconds later say "Excuse me, what?" Ethan walks to my side and pulls me away from Ace. He then says "Try not to panic, but there has been years when people would actually fight someone else. Mostly because they like the same person." I nod and gulp. "So are you saying they will try to hurt me, knowing that you guys love me?" They all sigh and Alex says "Yes. But I won't let that happen. And I'm sure none of us will." They all nod and say "We love you, Y/N. We'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe." I nod and Ace pulls me back and nuzzles into me. Ethan gets jealous and pulls me away so he can cuddle with me. The jealousy spread like wildfire as they all started to nuzzle me in a huge pile of fur. It was interrupted when Blake's watch went off. He pulled me out of the fur pile and said "We should be heading home soon. It's already passed 7." I nod and they all give me a quick hug before leaving to their houses. Once they left the house, Blake gives me a quick hug and we get ready. I pack my things for going there and we head out. Blake sighs and says "Hey, want to walk around a bit before heading home?" I smile and say "Sure." He smiles back and we walk around the empty park. I'm surprised the dew hasn't fallen yet. We walk around and talk about random things. I start to feel a little guilty. I'm not having thoughts about who I like more, but more of thoughts about what the others who I don't choose will think. I sit down on a bench and look at the stars. I ask in a guilty tone "Blake, can I ask you something?" He looks at me and says "Sure, anything you want." I sigh and ask "What will you do if I choose you?" He smiles and says "I'll be the happiest fur out there. I'd give you as much attention as you need. Give you the foods you like and try to maintain your health while doing so. I'll take good care of you and make sure you're always happy. Because your happiness, is my happiness, and I'd hate to see you upset." I then ask sadly "And if I don't?" He thinks and says "I won't be upset. I understand if you like any of the others more. It would be your choice. And if it's what makes you happy, then I'm fine with it. Your happiness is most important to me. But if you do choose someone else, can you promise me something?" I gulp and say "Anything." He hugs me close and says "Can we still be friends? Still be like this? That's the one thing I don't want to lose. Sure, I'd love to kiss you, hug you, and keep you close all the time, but if my fate doesn't go that direction, then can we still keep the way things are now? Because if you do choose someone else, remember that doesn't mean I don't love you anymore. So please? Can we stay like this?" I hug him back and nuzzle into him a bit. "Yes. You can." We stay in this hug for about five minutes. Soon, we let go and start to head back to his place. About halfway there, I feel something touch my hand. I stop and look to see Blake's hand. He blushes and asks "M-May I?" I smile and say "Yeah." So he takes his hand in mine as we walk back to his place. When we reach his place, we take off our shoes and head to his room. I get in bed after him. He spoons me against him and says "I love you, Y/N." I chuckle and nuzzle into his chest and say "I know you do." After that, we both soon drift off to sleep.
