The Girl That Caught His Eye - MID - Leif X Reader

Shopping! Yay! note sarcasm

I was meditating in my room, dreaming about the lush mountains, the endless countryside and beautiful ginkgo Bonai trees back in China, Then I heard light tread in Ava's room. I swiftly dashed over to her room without anyone noticing me. I heard someone say human your sacrifice will be remembered. Without thinking, I threw my kunai close to the invader halting their action. He whipped round, looking everywhere to see who threw the
Kunai. Then the dark blue daemos appeared, halting at the sight.
"Your majesty, put down the knife!" The smart one warned. Then the one above Ava challenged.
"Why should I?"
"Knives kill humans."
"And..."
"Your Majesty, i am all for your way of doing things but now is not the time, one human isn't going to solve the magic crisis."
"Which part would be most tender to stab?"
Then 2 more came into the room.
"Hey have you guys seen one of my daggers around, it's missing."
"Quiet Noi or you'll wake her!"
Then I decided to step out of the shadows.
"You know I would really recommend that you all leave this room, right. Now. " They all turned around to see me leaning on the door of Ava's room. I stalk up towards the so called prince with my face practically in his. He was trying to stop his blush from showing but failed.
"Listen here b*tch. Don't come into Ava's room with the intention to kill her, heed my warning. Cause if you don't I won't hesitate to strike your head off clean." In the middle of our stared down Ava stirs in her bed. We all panic.
"Human sorcerer do something!" Noi said.
"Does it look like I know what to do! I'm not a stalker. " I whisper-yell to the orange one. Then the quiet light-blue dude walked up to Ava and started stroking her head. I put my hands up and made two half of a heart and put them in the inside veiw. Then I said.

"Out if you want to to live." They all rushed out of the room. I sat at the end of Ava's bed on the floor. I pulled my phone out to check the time. 7:30. I'm pretty sure Ava wasn't going to get up any time soon. I got up from the floor and walked to kitchen and started making dim sum. Char sui bao, lai wong bao, dumplings, har gau and tofu. I put them all in wooden handmade bowls in the meile to cook. All of the Daemos are in the living room discussing something, I was curious so I got on my knees and crawled over behind the couch listening to their conversation.
"I had everything under control. "The hothead said.
"Your Majesty, you almost got us killed." Haha as if Ava could kill them. Maybe their referring to me.
"I grow tired of this charade we are playing." He argued back.
"You and me both." Leif said, I recognised his voice easily.
"Leif!" Rhys said losing hope. I almost felt bad for the guy. Almost.
"I kinda agree, why are we dancing around here? We know the humans have dangerous weapons but we've had a lot of chances to take on the shorter female human here. Not the taller one, she's terrifying. " I smirk. I love asserting dominance. Rhys sighs losing more hope.
"Prince Asch, this mission is everything to you. Is it not?" Haha! Guilt tripping always wins.
"Wel-. Yes. " He said steadying his voice.
"If we go back to Daemos without a soild source to renew the magic, there isn't going to be a second chance. We single-handedly killed the last source of magic if return with nothing to show for it but a weak source of magic. That's it we will lose everything. We will suffer from Humiliation or worse . "
"Our heads." That is what hit me. They die? Sure they killed the last source of magic but death. But you know what they say 'A Blood Debt Has to Be Paid by Blood'
"Precisely, no matter how valued we are in the ranks, we will die and asch, you out of all of us will suffer the most."
"lighten up will ya."
"Huh?"
"We aren't at that point yet, besides Asch is just doing things like we would on Daemos. Can't shame him for that."
"I can shame him."
"Well you can't shame me."
"You do that enough for yourself already. "
"Point is. We'll do do things your way for now, Rhys. Right Prince Asch."
"Exactly. "
"Huh?"
"For now things are going according to plan the female humans will teach us to be humans so we can learn their weaknesses. Then once we know how they work, we will bring the strongest back to Daemos, to extract their magic. "
"That's a good plan!"
"An impressive strategy. "
"See he had a plan all along."
I chuckle to myself. I quietly sat on the head of the sofa and start slowly clapping. The room becomes silent. All you can hear in the room is clapping. Well paced. Clap. Clap. Clap.
They all turn to me. Asch was ghostly pale.
"What did you hear." I have a poker face on so they can't tell how I feel.
"All of it. So, energy crisis, huh? Cute story you came up with, your charade was quite convincing until Noi made a little slip. As you can tell I'm not as nice as Ava but we can help. You. Guys." I said the last bit with a little difficulty but managed. They were quite confused but Leif managed to splutter.
"How will you help us?" I walk up towards him and my face is barely an inch away from his.
"Well I can teach you how to actually flirt," I look to the others when I say this.
"Plus I'm pretty sure you don't want to eat Ava's 'Food'. Breakfast is on the table." I face back to Leif and wink at him, pink spreads across his face. The Daemos walked over to the table and started poking the bao.
"We won't have enough room on this table, can one of you help me by grabbing 7 bowls please." I say while I picked up the plates with the dim sum on. To my surprise, Asch grabbed the bowls and brought them to the table. We all sat around the coffee table with the Dim sum in the middle.
"Leif go and wake up the prisoner." I cough.
"Ugh. The human." He said rolling his eyes. I look over to him and batted my eyelashes with a fake smile.
"Thank you."
"With pleasure." Then Rhys asked a question.
"What are these? Are they poisonous?" I look at him and explain what they are.
"This one is a Char sui bao, in English this basically translates to pork bun. It is a white bun with pork slices inside. Try one." They all looked at it suspiciously then Noi picked it up in his palm. He broke it in half and slowly took a bite of it, then his eyes lit up like a little child. He started scoffing it down quickly.
"You guys have to try it!" They all take a bao and precariously eat it. They all were commenting how good it was. Then we heard a scream from Ava's room. I jumped up and flipped over to the door. I kicked it open.
"I'm just kidding!" Ava yelled.
"Leif what did I tell you!" Asch yelled.
Time skip ~
They are trying to persuade us to teach them our 'HuMan WaYS'
"Asking like that isn't going to-"
"If we do will you guys leave?"
A/N - Ava doesn't know their real plan.
"Faster than you can imagine." Asch says.
"Really?"
"Really."
"Really Really?"
"Really." Asch says more stern.
"Really." Peirce says.
"Really." Noi said with much more enthusiasm. Leif also joined in.
"Really." Then everyone looks at me expecting me to say 'really'.
"I'm not saying really."
"Really?"
"
