Perhaps he should have noticed that something was off the moment Shine went still, but his mind was too busy rejoicing over their reunion to notice anything out of the ordinary. It was only when he finally pulled back to give Shine some space that he realized how odd this behaviour was for the bi-coloured feline. And then Shininglight spoke, and Luca's smile dropped just as fast as his stomach. He frowned and backed up a pace, suddenly feeling a lot colder due to the wave of hurt that washed over him. "Ah... you don't remember me?" Luca asked, a fresh bout of tears welling in his eyes and spilling over hot cheeks. He bit down on his lip, lowering his head. "Shine, it's me... Luca. I'm in love with you, remember?" He gave his rump a weak, half-hearted shake. Perhaps it was selfish, but Luca really hoped that Shine was suffering from amnesia. If it wasnt amnesia that meant that Shine had just stopped thinking about him enough to forget him entierly, a thought that made Luca feel absolutely sick to his stomach. "We met ages ago, we were super close!" To anyone else that had known Luca back then, those words would seem like a major exagguration. It's true that Luca had strong feelings for Shininglight, but they were very obviously one sided; Shine had never shown any indication at all of feeling the same about Luca. However, the hellhound wasn't known for having a rational and reasonable mind.
