From Online to Reality [Voxto]

Chapter 2

This was supposed to be a joke.

Vox didn't expect Shoto would say yes and agreed the two to meet in person.

The demon thought the purple boy would just fluster and went on saying random things before cutting off the line, yet Shoto said YES.

It took Vox some time to recover, then to check the flight tickets and got himself all ready.

But now here he was, walking at the airport, looking for a sign of his demon slayer friend.

Many people recognized Vox and requested for photographs and signatures, and the demon tried his best to stay calm, yet in fact all he wanted to do was to meet Shoto and get out of here right away.

Vox planned to stay for only 5 days in the beginning, but Shoto was being so passionate and excited, telling the demon that he would bring him to different places and all, and now Vox extended his stay to 10 days.

The demon wasn't sure if this was a good idea, after all meeting a person face-to-face was a whole different level kind of friendship.

Could the two really get along well like they were online?

"Vox! Oh my god Vox!"

Girls screamed as they saw the popular demon slayer standing not too far away, waving to Vox's direction.

"No way Voxto is real~!!!"

Vox knew he needed to take Shoto away as soon as possible before the two got blocked by everyone, so he fastened his pace and took Shoto by his arm.

"Woah- Vox!"

"We need to get out of here, show me the way, boy."

Shoto knew he must have blushed by hearing Vox's voice. It was always a distraction by just hearing such deep voice that close to his earphone, and now having to listen to such voice that clear in person... This was a crime.

The two managed to escape the airport and got into Shoto's car.

"Man I swear that felt like GTA in real life!" Vox actually sweat a little. "I need a drink."

"No wine inside my car, sorry." Shoto chuckled. "We'll go grab a drink after we loaded your luggage at the hotel, ok?"

"I'd like that."

Shoto was pleased to learn that Vox was staying at a hotel near his home, he wasn't sure why, but he felt nice knowing that Vox was that close to him.

"You know, my mom would like to meet you too."

"She wanted to know who made her son fluster like crazy as always?"

"God damn it Vox."

Vox laughed, he was glad Shoto acted just like the same as he was online.

His laughs were cute, his hair was beautiful, and his eyes were-

Vox tapped his face to cut-off his thoughts, what was THAT?

"You okay buddy?" Shoto laughed again, having no idea that would make Vox felt uneasy.

"Not okay with you beside me."

"... We're not online, don't make me fluster." Shoto paid his attention back to the road, he admired how Vox could be such a forward and direct person.

Although the two kept exchanging conversations, the two were avoiding each other's eye contact from time to time as well.

There was a tiny awkwardness in the atmosphere.

Perhaps it was the fact that this was the first time they met in person; but there could also be more.

The urge of embracing the purple boy kept rushing into Vox's mind.

"And this is my room." Vox managed to stay cool form the outside and unlocked the hotel room. "Oh the view is nice."

"Wow this room is awesome!" Shoto ran into the room like an excited puppy. "Oh the bathtub is big!"

"... Hey Shoto."

"Hmm?"

"Isn't it exciting that the first place I take you in person is my hotel room?"

"WHAT-"

"And you acted so innocent, saying that the bathtub is big? What are you trying to suggest, huh?"

"VOX YOU-"

"F**k you're so cute."

"VOX!!!"
