CHAPTER 1

Blanketed in white snow, the town of Port Edeli still slumbered on this cold morning. The sun had yet to rise, the sky still dark, shrouding the town in twilight. In a quiet corner in the Lake District sits Cafe Luna, a place of warmth and sanctuary, where food is served that soothes the soul and reminds us of that which is dear. Food served with a smile, shared around a warm table.

Though the town still slumbered, not everyone was asleep. A certain feline had begun to stir—Luffy the cat. Though he was a new member of the Cafe Luna family, he had much love to give. The people treated him like people, and as a cat, he treated them like cats! As a most loyal and dutiful feline, he watched over his family as the lightest sleeper (though sometimes the heaviest sleeper taking naps). He would chase away the age old enemy of cats, doing battle with them all over the house at night while the others slept! The greebles, that which only cats can see—or say they say.

But Luffy’s current duty was not to do battle, it was to check on his family. With feline agility he jumped onto the bed and peered at those laying under the covers asleep. Lunatya, who healed his wounds with starlight magic, gave him a home, and fed him many yummy things. She had silver hair and a voluptuous figure, her belly being most soft and pleasant to take naps on. Next to her was Zephyrard, who seemed to like Lunatya almost as much as Luffy did, holding Lunatya close as they slept together. He had fluffy black hair and had a lithe, yet muscular physique. Zephyrard had been very gentle and friendly to Luffy, and had fun wind magic that made him fly! Luffy approved!

With a soft headbutt, Luffy pressed up against Lunatya’s arm before curling up into a ball on her belly. Both Lunatya and Zephyrard began to stir awake, feeling their little friend who wasn’t that little walk all over them. Meanwhile Luffy had gotten comfortable and began to knead the blanket, massaging Lunatya’s belly as he rested his head against her.

Lunatya’s eyes fluttered awake and she smiled looking at Luffy. She stroked his back, his fur warm and soft against her fingers. Luffy purred softly, giving off happy and soothing energy. Her heart melted having Luffy here with her. Not only that, Zephyrard was right there at her side, holding her in his arms. She felt so close and comfortable, feeling the warmth of his skin against her. When she turned to look at him, their gazes met, and she was filled with overwhelming joy. Zephyrard had a delicate and gentle face, his eyes so soft and loving as he gazed at her.

Zephyrard was filled with joy as well, he couldn’t help but smile seeing Lunatya so happy. Laying in bed with her brought such comfort and security, such tender intimacy, both physical and emotional. Having Luffy there too made it such a joyful, peaceful, and enchanting morning. It was all so simple… yet so very precious.

“Hehehe… good morning,” Lunatya said, giggling as she stared at Zephyrard. “This is such a wonderful way to wake up with you and Luffy… I can’t believe it’s real.”

“Mhm… good morning,” replied Zephyrard. He stroked her cheek with the back of his hand. “It is very magical, isn’t it?”

“I love you, Zeph…” Lunatya whispered, before resting her head on his chest. She closed her eyes and smiled. “Hehe…”

“And I love you, Luna…” Zephyrard whispered back, pulling her in a bit closer and holding her hand. “So very much…”

Lunatya and Zephyrard continued to lay in bed, cuddling and snuggling as close as could be. They felt the warmth of their bare skin touching, intimate and heartwarming. In each other’s embrace they accepted each other wholeheartedly. Luffy too was accepted and loved, included in their cuddle, receiving lots of pets from both Lunatya and Zephyrard.

But still time marched on and eventually Luffy had his fill of cuddles. Rising from bed, he plodded along and went to sit by the window to clean himself. Lunatya and Zephyrard waved farewell at the fluffy little angel.

“Bye bye Luffy…” whispered Lunatya, letting out a happy sigh watching Luffy. “Thank you for waking us and cuddling…”

“Hehe… Luffy’s such a loving and good kitty,” Zephyrard said softly. He patted Lunatya on the arm. “I guess it’s just us now though. Would you like a hug?”

“Ooh…! Yes…!” said Lunatya, turning to look at Zephyrard with sparkling eyes. She nodded with enthusiasm and excitement.

Zephyrard smiled back. He wrapped both arms around Lunatya, feeling her soft skin. Then with a flex of his muscles, he rolled her over on top of him, holding her close. Lunatya felt the firmness of his muscles as he rolled her, before they relaxed as he held her. She squealed with glee. As Lunatya settled on top of him, he could feel her plush softness pressing up against his chest. They stared at each other for a moment, just smiling, their faces close together. The warmth of the breath could be felt on each other’s faces. Lunatya couldn’t help but smile and giggle.

Then with inviting eyes, Zephyrard tilted his head, giving her a look. Lunatya nodded slowly without hesitation, her cheeks growing hot and rosy. Zephyrard gulped. His heart began to race. Lunatya could feel his heartbeat, their chests pressed together. Her heart began to pound, beating in unison with his. Then he lifted his head slowly, moving closer to her. He stroked her back, holding her in a firm embrace. Seeing his cheeks grow red as he got closer, as he gazed into her eyes… she couldn’t wait any longer. She moved in closer and closed her eyes, kissing him. She wrapped her arms around him and pressed herself against him, holding him tight. There they laid together, locked in warm embrace, feeling their bodies pressed together, their lips touching, so warm, so safe, so… happy.

Then Lunatya felt something. Something touched her tushy. Though it wasn’t Zephyrard’s hand, as she might have hoped. It was a certain someone, who had finished cleaning himself by the window. It was Luffy, Luffy the cat. Luffy climbed the bounteous mountains of Lunatya’s tushy and let out a proud and noble roar.

“Mraoooooooooo!” cried Luffy, in a drawn out and pitiful tone.

Then in a moment of feline agility, he leapt off of Lunatya’s tushy, soaring through the air! He landed on the floor with a soft poomft, before walking over to the door. He looked back over at Lunatya and Zephyrard, with his big, round eyes.

“Luffyyyyyy!” cried out Lunatya, patting her tushy. Luffy was quite heavy and it was quite… impactful when he jumped off her. “My tushy hurts now…”

“Well you do have a nice tushy… I understand why he likes jumping on you,” Zephyrard said, laughing. Then he placed a hand on her tushy and gave it a soft pat. “There there…”

“Pwah… okay…” said Lunatya, suddenly relaxing again. She rested her head on Zephyrard and giggled. “I feel better now, thank you! Hehehe…”

“Mew…” cried out Luffy again, still waiting by the door.

“Sounds like it’s time to get up…” Zephyrard said, giving Lunatya one more pat. “We shouldn’t keep the little fluffy waiting!”

“Alriiiiight,” said Lunatya in a drawn out tone. She pulled the covers off and stepped out of bed. The chill of the morning air was cold against her skin. “Foof… it’s cold this morning.”

Zephyrard got out of bed next and stepped behind her, giving her a hug. “We can keep each other warm then!”

“Hehe… I’d like that,” Lunatya replied, smiling.

Together they waddled over to the mirror and looked at their reflections. Lunatya’s cheeks puffed up in a pout as she looked at herself. Her hair was quite messy from all the cuddles in bed. She started to run her fingers through her hair, tidying it.

Zephyrard gave her a pat on the belly, still hugging her, then leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. Then he whispered into her ear. “It’s okay… you’re still very cute and beautiful, even with some messy bedhead. My hair’s all messy too, so you don't have to worry too much.”

Lunatya relaxed hearing that, a small smile spreading across her face. She left her hair for the moment and together they got dressed. Luffy came over and was rubbing against their legs as they did, wanting to be involved too! Then Lunatya and Zephyrard reconvened in front of the mirror, dressed and tidied up. He hugged her from behind again and they held their hands together on her belly. They didn’t say anything, just standing there enjoying each other's presence, smiling. Lunatya wore a white blouse and shawl, golden trimmed, along with a blue skirt, and knee high socks. Zephyrard a simple white shirt, with durable green pants.

Lunatya got a big smile on her face, looking in the mirror, seeing their reflections together, with Luffy raised up on his hind legs, just peeking at the mirror. Then in a sudden twirl, Lunatya turned around, rose up on her tippy toes, and gave Zephyrard a little smooch. Afterwards she giggled and took him by the hand, and with Luffy, they all went to the washroom together.

Luffy went to take care of his own business with a certain box, while Lunatya and Zephyrard went to brush their teeth and wash their faces. As was their daily ritual, they brushed their teeth together, doing a little silly wiggle dance from side to side to the rhythm of their brushing. After Luffy finished his business, he clambered up onto the counter finding himself a small perch, and watched Lunatya and Zephyrard as they finished washing up. Splashes of warm water, the feel of soft towels, and they were ready for the day.

As the family left the bathroom and started to walk down the hall, Luffy dashed forward on his own. Though once he reached the stairs he stopped to look back towards Lunatya and Zephyrard. Then with a small wave of Lunatya’s hand as they approached, Luffy continued on, plodding along down the stairs. Then he stopped again, this time at the half landing. He waited for Lunatya and Zephyrard to catch up, then raced them down the stairs, zooming along.

They were met with the warm smell of food. The kitchen of Cafe Luna was softly lit, the other members of their recently formed adventuring party, Ardent Hope, already awake. Juli was by the stove, feminine and athletic. She had long, shining black hair, and was dressed in a lilac top, black shorts, with an eastern styled purple haori jacket on top. Lissette was sitting at the island counter, fiddling with her brunette hair. She was dressed in a black top, with a high waisted red skirt. They both smiled and waved, beckoning Lunatya, Zephyrard, and Luffy to join them for breakfast. And so they did, sitting all together, as it should be.
