Chapter 4: Dinner.

Nicholas POV

I'm the dragon heir assistant well that's my official title in reality I'm that asshole best and only friend. I'm also a dragon shifter my parents work in the palace for the queen and king. When we were young our parents decided it would do us both good if we became friends since we'll end up working together. The joke on them we became best friends, we got into so many troubles growing up. We weren't allowed to have fun, our parents wanted us to learn the important stuff and become like them, workaholic but of course we refused.

Now that Ethan is five hundred years old while I'm four hundred we're finally allowed to leave home. I know my friend wants to be a good king it's why he decided to get to know the people right from the source. Not meet the arrogant leaders of every species, he's going to make changes I can feel it in my heart.

When the queen decided to gift him a Neko I was so in for the idea until she said she'll be the one choosing her. Imagine a stuck up bitch Neko with us, Ethan would probably eat her for dinner. With the help of the king, we talked her into letting the Neko be compatible with Ethan's personality.

I knew my friend was a daddy Dom, it's why he makes such a good prince, it's in his nature to be caring and giving. Me on the other hand I'm a cold-hearted bastard, I have a bad boy/playboy reputation to keep.

After he gave Mila, who's adorable her name just match her, her rules she asked who am I. I was afraid for a second he won't let me interfere with her, he'll be too possessive and won't even let me talk to her but instead, he called me uncle nick and told her I'll be taking care of her when he's busy.

I think my heart of stone just skipped a few beats, I would love to help him with the Neko, she's everything my friend wants and for that, I'll do anything to keep her safe.

Dinner time came by and Ethan tried to feed Mila the Neko food, she shakes her head no and wouldn't open her mouth. He tried making airplane and train noises making me fall from my seat from all the laughter but Mila's mouth stayed shut.

"Maybe she's not hungry," I said out of breath from all the laughter.

"She hasn't eaten anything yet today she must be hungry," Ethan says frustrated.

I go toward them and take a sniff of her food it smelled bad, I take some on my finger and lick it. I spit it in a matter of a second no wonder she refuses to eat it.

"Man it tastes like shit," I say

"Don't swear in front of her and the manual advice I feed her Neko food for a while" Ethan replies

"Just taste it then" I challenge and he does, spitting it quickly making Mila laugh.

"You're right kitten it does taste horrible," he says and goes to wash his mouth.

I do a quick internet search for what's safe to feed her and inform my friend

"It says she won't be able to chew anything yet so soft or baby food are safe for her"

He gets some yogurt from the fridge and holds a spoon to her mouth she sniffs it first, smart girl, then opens her mouth taking a small lick.

When she finds it tastes nothing like the Neko food she fully opens her mouth, he fed her a whole bowl.

"Good girl Mila" again he praises her and she blushes, when we were young we never heard the words, good boy, all we heard were you could do better and be better we were never enough.

"Add a highchair to our list please," Ethan tells me as he takes Mila off the stool, her legs hardly touching the floor. If left alone she'll probably jump or fall since she won't sit still.

Mila runs around the kitchen investigating while Ethan comes close to me and whisper that we need to give her her vitamins and after the Neko food he's not sure she'll take it easy.

"So there's the hard way and the harder way" I start and he sighs " hey don't look at me like that, you got a better plan"

He shakes his head no and we go in a hard way. He lifts Mila in his arm and I get the vitamin bottle from the fridge, it's mostly iron since all Neko are anemic.

When she saw the bottle she starts crying and trashing around, she's only a few days old and already hates medicine great. Ethan holds her still in his arms and forces open her mouth I let a few drops in and Ethan closes her mouth making her swallow.

"Tomorrow we need a better plan," he tells me sounding hurt.

He didn't like forcing it on the little girl and now I feel like shit for doing it too.

He cradles Mila in his arms and starts walking around rocking her to sleep, she cries for a few more minutes breaking our hearts with her sobs till she finally falls asleep.

He set her down in her bed and come sit with me.

"Not what you imagined for our first night away from home huh," he says

"Yeah not what I imagined at all, in my head the girls screamed from pleasure" he breaks into a smile and punches me in the arm

"Pervert" he mumbles

"You know it and you love it. Now want pizza?" I ask and he nods

Not what we imagined for our first night but not bad, not bad at all.
