“So, didja wish for anything cool?” Last of the meteor shower fading in the sky, pink fur and a mischievous grin entered Alice's field of vision as Boris leaned over where she lay sprawled out in the grass.
“If you tell someone else what you wish for it won't come true, remember?”
“Psh,” Boris waved a hand disdainfully. “Maybe for normal people, I'm a cat. It doesn't matter if you tell me.”
Alice raised a brow skeptically.
“It's true. Cats are lucky!“ He insisted, bending to rub his cheek encouragingly against hers. “In fact, you probably have a better chance of having all your wishes come true if you just tell them to me in the first place.”
“Is that your ego or your curiosity talking?” Alice bit back a giggle at his pout.
“Che.”
“Besides.” Stretching a hand up, Alice traced a fingertip along the point of a cat ear. “I didn't really have anything I needed to wish for anyway.”
“Oh?” Ear twitching reflexively, Boris leaned closer. The beginnings of a smug smile on his lips. “Well maybe you should hear what I wished for then.”

Summary: [Heart, Julius / Alice] He was still the same cantankerous, workaholic that she'd met that first fateful night in Wonderland.
Word Count: 200
“What are you doing out here?” A hand touched Alice's shoulder, shaking the girl lightly to rouse her from her slumber. “Hey. Wake up.”
“Hmmm..?”
“Alice.”
A second, firmer shake sent the novel laying open in her lap sliding off to hit the ground with a thud, waking Alice with a start as she abruptly found herself staring up at the disapproving frown of Wonderland's resident mortician.
“If you need to sleep do it somewhere else.” Julius stared down at her, arms crossed sternly, and looking every inch the same foreboding individual she had met so long ago on her first night in Wonderland. “The top of the Tower isn't meant for napping. I don't want to be bothered with the mess you'd make if you fell off.”
“You're right.” Alice ducked her head, chastised. “Sorry, Julius. I'll just...”
She brushed out her skirts, reaching for her book, only to pause as Julius cleared his throat.
“Honestly, if you're that tired you should try using the bed.” She blinked and he quickly looked away under her inquiring gaze. “You'll only get yourself lost if you wander about half-asleep like this.”
