Demon and Demon Slayer - Voxto (English)

What are you doing to me?

Vox POV

"Vox?" Shoto looked at me with so many questions in his eyes. We could talk later. I pulled him into a tight hug, crawling my hands into his back. I was so worried. Why? Why was I? He wanted to kill me. Nothing more. And still... I couldn't stand seeing him cry. He didn't flinch. He pressed his head onto my chest while still crying and sobbing. I slowly rubbed his back. He tensed at first but slowly relaxed while his tears were soaking into my shirt. That wasn't important right now. I carefully pushed him away to look at him, my hands holding his shoulders. He looked at me again. I didn't want to see him that way. His eyes were red and he couldn't stop his tears from running down his face.

Shoto POV

He pushed me back while still holding my shoulders. What was this demon doing to me? Why was I trusting him so much? He looked at me with worry and fear in his eyes. Was he just acting? What should I believe? But why would he want to... was he just trying to... I couldn't think right. Was he really caring for me or was he just pretending? He started to talk. His voice was as deep as always and it calmed me down a bit. What was happening to me? "Shoto? Can you tell me what happened? I know you hate me... but I really want to know what bothers you. You are making me worry, darling." Darling? I could feel my cheeks heating up a little bit. Why was I blushing? He was right. I hated him. I... hated him? Did I? "I-I..." Why couldn't I speak? I wanted to tell him that everything was alright. It wasn't, but I still wanted to tell him. He shouldn't be worried.I wanted to say something, but nothing came out of my mouth. I was weak. I was embarrassed. I've kept Vox awake for two nights now. I disappointed Ether. I was useless. 

"I-I'm f-" He interrupted me. "Don't you dare to say that you're fine. I can see you're not. You don't have to tell me what happened, but can you try to calm down? I don't want you to look like this. It's breaking my heart. You shouldn't be sad." I knew it. I was just an obstacle. I was hurting him by just being there. Wait. Wasn't that what I wanted? To hurt him? No. He was a demon but... I didn't want to kill him. I should. But I didn't.

Vox POV

Why couldn't he stop crying? I wanted to see his normal, pretty face. "It was just a nightmare. I'm fine... Go away demon! I don't need your help." Really? I should go away, so he could see that he did need me. But I wouldn't. I wouldn't be so cruel. I pulled him closer again. He seemed like he wanted to back off, but he didn't. Ha! He was happy that I helped him. He just wouldn't admit it, but he didn't need to. It was enough that I knew this. For now. He would admit it someday. I was sure he would. 

He was asleep after a few minutes. His sobbing stopped and he finally calmed down. I looked down onto the sweet boy who was leaning against my chest. Huh? Oh shit. Nah, I surely wasn't catching feelings for him. Even if, he wouldn't feel the same and he would die... like every other human I've ever loved. No. I wouldn't think about that right now. The only important thing in this moment was Shoto. The demon slayer who was snuggled against me. God, he was cute. I closed my eyes, and I could feel an arm wrap around my stomach before fading into the land of dreams.

Shoto POV

My thoughts came back to me. I slept really well this night. My pillow was warm, and it was really comfortable. And it was... moving? What the fuck? Why was my pillow moving? I slowly opened my eyes. I was laying on someone's chest. I looked up. THE DEMON?! He had his arm wrapped around me, his hand laying on my hip while I was hugging him too. I jumped up. The demon seemed to have a light sleep because he woke up. He yawned. I looked at him with shock. He noticed it and simply smiled. "Good morning Shoto. Are you okay? Your cheeks are pretty red, boy." What? Oh shit, he was right. My face was hot, and it must've looked like a tomato. Why was I blushing again? What kind of trick was that? How was the demon doing this? God there were so many questions in my head. "I-I-I need to go to the bathroom." Why was I stuttering? God this was embarrassing. I quickly ran to the bathroom. What was this feeling? 

Vox POV

He looked so cute when he was flustered. I yawned again and stretched my back. It was really comfortable tonight. Shoto had his arm around me, and his head was laying on my chest all night. It was really sweet. He was really sweet. Wait. No that couldn't be... Shit. I liked him. I knew the feeling. I had already felt it many times, but I had lost everyone who made me feel like this because my feelings weren't strong enough for them. Great. Shoto was another human who I would love, try to make immortal, fail and lose. Man, that was the only thing that shouldn't have happened but of course it did. Stupid fucking love. Well, it didn't really matter because he wouldn't feel the same. He still wanted to kill me. Right? He would never fall in love with me. The only thing I could try was showing him that not every demon is bad. That was usually what demon slayers thought about demons. I would give my best and if it didn't work, I wouldn't have to worry anyway because he would just weaken me. Oh, if only he knew that I was immortal. I would love to see his face after realizing that all the effort he put into killing me was for nothing. But he didn't need to know that. He could just believe and live with this lie forever. I wondered how many immortal demons he already "killed". There was only about 300 of us. We all had yellow eyes. It was the sign of immortality.

I've heard that if a human becomes immortal, his eyes will only turn yellow for a day before turning back into the original color. There were only a few existing immortal humans. Every one of them had loved a demon. Every one of them was loved by a demon. True love. I was still searching for that. Maybe I was destined to live alone for eternity. But I wouldn't give up. I would keep searching. I wouldn't give up and maybe someday I would find my true love. Someday...
