Shoto couldn't get the question out of his mind.

'Why? Why is he so kind to me?' Shoto wanted to ask the demon but could never bring himself to actually do it.

It was killing him slowly. All the energy he had that was going to go to moving around was gone, all he could bring himself to do was sit or lay down.

He was pretty sure that all the emotions he had locked away since bakumori were catching up to him.

He knew the demon had picked up on the change in adatud but he really couldn't care. When the demon pressed for Shoto talk about it he would try, but in the end make thing worse for himself.

He had wanted to be kinder to the demon but instead he became more closed off then when he first woke up. It was bad, and he didn't know how to fix it.

He was alowed to leave his room today, he hoped that getting to see the la d that the demon called home would help him feel better. He hated to admit it but Vox made him feel better.

Shoto knew this was wrong, to enjoy the company of a demon, one of spices that murdered his people, but he couldn't help it. He was desperate.

Today, shotos door was opened quietly. The now familiar demon walked in and greeted Shoto with a smile. One that Shoto tried to mirror, despite his state of mind.

His effort made the demon smile grow larger and Shoto now felt very accomplished.

"Well Shoto, today is the day you have been waiting for! You ca now leave your room. I have a nice chain for yo caller too. The others really want to meet you, which in the elders case can't mean anything good but it'll be fine I'm sure." Shoto couldn't stop an exasperated sigh at the feather cryptic end part but stood and walked to the demons side.

This was actually the first time that Shoto had stood close enough to compare their height and was pleasantly surprised to don't that they were at eye level.

He could tell Vox ha noticed this little detail as well and was less then satisfied with it.

"Well Vox, you gonna chain me up?" Shoto had said this with a flirtatious tone and shit eating grin.

That didn't last long though as Vox very quickly turned things around

He looped his arm around Shotos waist, grabbed his hand and duped him to where he was almost on the ground.

He then slowly and with a seductive expression hooked the chain the the caller Shoto was wearing and said in a low voice;

" precisely" it was only one word and a simpal movement but it made Shoto a blushing mess.

"W-what? N-no I, I, I, don't look at me." He turned us head as far as he could do he didn't have to see Voxs face. How did he manage to fluster him so much?

Vox laughed loudly as he stood them up right again, very satisfied with himself.

Shoto couldn't stop blushing, and refused to meet his eyes, which only further fueled Voxes mockery.
