18 - devils can love

:: Jimin's POV

The fact that my wings were out wasn't the main reason why I was panicking; what I was absolutely fearing was that y/n had heard that. My eyes quickly landed on her and I hoped, so damn much, that for some weird twist of fate she didn't hear Lexi. Unfortunately, my wish wasn't fulfilled because I could see in her stare that she was thinking hard about something. And when her eyes moved towards my back, where my wings were freely moving, I was afraid my heart would've exploded.

Why was she looking at me with that amazed glare?

Why did she have to look at me like no one else had ever done? Why did she have to look at me as if I wasn't the most dangerous creature she had ever seen?

And why did I like it?

Why did I like the way she seemed to care about me?

Why did I like and disliked at the same time the way she had healed me?

And why could I still feel her hand on my torso, right where that big and painful wound had previously been?

The answer was simple: because I was an idiot, that's why.

And now y/n was going to know about those stupid thoughts I had, and she was going to take advantage of the fact that I felt the tiniest bit of affection towards her. Something was telling me I wasn't going to get angry at her for teasing me, because if she kept looking at me like that... Well, how could I ever get annoyed when her sweet eyes don't see even a little bit of evil in me?

"Do you feel threatened?"

I frowned when y/n spoke, because that was the last thing I expected her to say.

"Threatened?" Lexi was as confused as me, but for a different reason. I was sure she knew too well why my wings were out. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"He told me his wings come out when he feels threatened, that's what I was wondering" y/n explained that normally, but with furrowed eyebrows as she really was confused about that.

Lexi chuckled, and that confirmed the fact that she knew exactly why my wings were out. I mean, everyone knew why a devil's wings would come out. Everyone but y/n - though, I was pretty sure I had told her about that. "You're totally wrong. His wings are out bec-"

"Because I thought your father was coming down the stairs for a second." I interrupted Lexi just in time - if y/n believed that, who was I to tell her otherwise? I wasn't dumb enough to tell her the truth about me being secretly admiring her kind heart.

"Oh."

But... was she really so naive?

The blonde hybrid was again chuckling while taking a look around my cage, probably laughing about the ridiculous situation I put myself in. Unfortunately.

"You can put them in..." y/n spoke again, seeming a bit uncomfortable. "The wings; my dad is sleeping so..." she averted her gaze but then she quickly looked back at me, concern written all over her face. "Is he really so mean? Your wings came out so fast, it means he really hurts you a lot..."

I could see in her eyes that she was feeling guilty, and I didn't know if that was exactly what I wanted or if it made me feel bad. There were so many mixed feelings inside of me, that I just couldn't stop overthinking every action of mine and everything y/n did.

I still wanted to get revenge on the magician, that's one thing that wouldn't have changed for sure, but sometimes I also felt like taking advantage of y/n wasn't the right thing to do anymore. It had been centuries since I had last felt guilt; that's something else I didn't know if I liked or hated. That was something y/n was responsible for and I was constantly wondering if I was going to hate her or thank her for that.
