My Neighborly Demon (Eustass KidxReader)

Lychee

You finally did it.

It took a bit of planning (and a little begging) but you finally achieved your goal.

You got to go to the beach.

It took you by surprise when you found out that Kid and Killer were islanders, born and raised.

This made things easier since Islanders, one way or another, craved the sandy shores and sunny skies eventually.

So here you were, sandwiched between Heat and Wire in the back as Kid and Killer were driving and co-piloting.

"It's a three hour trip but we're making good time. Are you excited, (Y/N)?" Heat asked, the emotion in his voice not reflecting the outside of his face. But you didn't mind, you knew that deep down, he was told ecstatic to go to the beach as well.

"I am! It's been so long! It's been a hot minute since I did camping, too!"

"Well, we're camping with amenities so it isn't a complete backpack camping. But for the beach we need fresh water showers, sandy skin is not good for this perfect complexion." Killer said, gesturing his whole self as you and Kid let out an ugly snort. "Hey, a man has his needs. Mine is going to sleep clean and sand-less." Killer huffed and sniffed.

"Admit it. You can't sleep without a fan~" Kid perked up, giving his friend a grin.

"It's hot and it's summer, bite me."

"Turn around~"

"I will make your food so salty you won't be able to eat it..."

The scenery was beautiful.

The campsite was spacious, had a few electrical outlets and public bathrooms with showers on the far side of the area for the campers.

Thankfully for today your group was the only one enjoying the campsite.

Once settled you all made two tents. One for you and one for the hoard of men that came with you. You texted Hip and Emma a photo of the campsite and one of them said "Have fun with the harem!".

You had gone inside your tent to organize a few things and heard the zipper go down, seeing Killer's head pop inside the tent with his eyes closed.

"Are you decent?"

"No, lemme just put on my lingeri- I'm kidding! I am, what's up?" You jest with a giggle, but you could see Killer's face get a little red for a moment as you joked about the underwear.

"We're going to start food in a few hours  and it's sunny... wanna head to the water?  The blonde asked, tilting his head as he saw yours nod up and down vigorously. "Great, lemme tell the others. I think Heat needed help with his hair before we left."

"Oh, I can help with that. Tell him to come over here and I'll fix him up quickly." You offered, with a quick thanks from Killer, he disappeared. Only to be replaced by the ever shy Heat as you beckoned him inside.

He sat in front of you, looking at the tent door as you stood up, hands on his hair as you began to do your "black magic" (as he called it).

You sighed in the hammock you were laying in. The sun had gone down and after dinner, you had come to your cozy spot, it was hidden between the trees and close to camp.

The lazy breeze that was hitting your cheeks was soothing and the soft crash of waves could be heard against the shore. If healing had a sound: it could be this.
