Demons can love? (HakuKoyu/Akakoyu story.)

I'm guessing you want me to leave?

(Quick apology! I haven't updated the story for a while and I'm so sorry! I lost motivation and basically gave up but I'm deciding to try and get back into it! Thx enjoy!)

Akaza POV:

Excuse me, what? No way she just called me cute! I'm not cute, am I? I was speechless. I mean, what could you say? I sat there, staring at her. I think the thought hasn't completely sunk in yet. Finally, it hit me. She actually called me cute. I felt my face heat up as I got a weird feeling in my chest. It was strange. Was it a good or bad feeling? I finally was able to muster up some words.

"W.. what?"

I watched as her face turned a shade of red. Her eyes widened as she shook her head repeatedly, waving her hands in a 'stop' motion. She spoke nervously.

"I didn't mean that! Sorry! So sorry! I didn't know I'd say that!"

I let out a heavy, quick sigh and said words I didn't even realize I said, louder than I wanted to.

"It's fine. Calm down."

Did I just say that? I didn't even think to say that! This girl is going to be the end of me.

I saw her eyes widen what seemed like more than they already were. She stuttered unledgiable things. I just turned my head away and huffed, acting like I didn't say that and continued to finish eating the humans.

I finished. The whole rest of the time was just silence as I ate. I think she didn't want to make anything weird by speaking, and I'm glad she didn't because I probably would have slipped again. I acted like I had no interest in her by resting my head on my palm and looking away, but I couldn't help but to wonder how she was feeling. I wanted to see her facial expression to possibly read the situation a bit and see if it's okay to make some sort of move.

My eyes shifted over to her. She sat on her legs and had her hands in her lap as she fiddled with her fingers. Her face was slightly red and she had an embarrassed expression. Her eyes were focused, causing me to believe she was in thought. Good, I didn't want her to catch me looking at her. I was just trying to examine her body language to get an idea of what I should do in this awkward situation, but I found myself doing more. I was staring at her hair and how it laid perfectly around her face. I stared into her beautiful, deep amber eyes. I felt like I had read the words 'lowermoon one' in her eyes over and over just looking into them. Then her lips. Her pink, large, soft lips. I wonder how it would feel to kiss them..

What. I'm. Going. Insane. I grunted in anger quite loudly at my thoughts as I felt my face heat up. Of course when my face was red I made some sort of noise to catch her attention.

Kiyaka POV:

I felt at loss for words. The whole situation was so confusing. There was nothing to say or do. I just called him cute which I was sure was going to deliver another blow to my face, but he said it was okay instead! I really didn't understand this guy. Maybe he likes praise? If I complement him more can I stay with him? I didn't even notice myself fiddling my fingers. I was just deep in thought, thinking about that moment and what it could've meant. Probably nothing to be honest. I felt like I was never going to snap out of the deep thought I was in until I heard an angry grunt from Akaza. I looked up and saw his face turned away. I could see the side of his face, which seemed a little red as he had an angry expression. Did I do something? I haven't even spoken? Is that it? Did he want me to? I don't know! He's too confusing!

"Are you okay? Did I do something? Did you want me to speak? I'm sorry for whatever!"

I really was desperate. I'd do whatever for any kind of company. This moment felt so nice. This is the most amount of time I've spent with anyone as a demon. I don't think he understands how much this little time means to me.

He held the same expression, still red in the face as he turned his head to face me.

"Quiet. Don't assume that you are the reason I'm upset. You aren't enough to anger me."

"Oh!"

That's relieving. I think?

"So, what is it that angered you then?"

He sighed. The red on his face faded as he turned his face more into an angry pout.

"Nothing. It's none of your business."

Wow. Nothing ever is, is it? As expected. I didn't really expect him to tell me everything on his mind. I was just hoping he would say something so that we could possibly get closer. I sighed a bit and crossed my arms.

"Alright.."

The room went quiet again. It was kind of awkward. I was hoping something would be said. I was thinking of something, anything. We sat there at least until dinner. He had just finished his food and I ate before that so none of us are that hungry. It's not like that matters though, because the second he gets whatever is on his mind out of his head, he'll get me out of here as quickly as possible. I just waited for the signal. I sat there a bit longer, and still, no one has said or done anything. I might as well do it for him. I really enjoyed the company despite how boring it was just sitting here. I sighed and spoke.

"I'm guessing you want me to leave?"

He quickly snapped out of the trance he was in. He looked over at me, his eyes looking into mine. For some reason, it sent chills down my spine. His whole face and everything about him drew me in for no reason. It was hard to look at him in the eyes.

"No. The sun is coming up soon."

After he said this, it was easy to look him in the eyes because I wasn't thinking about it now. I was just completely surprised he'd let me stay. He was so determined to get rid of me and so uncaring and now he's telling me to stay? So what if the sun is coming up soon, I figured he would throw me out in the sun if it meant getting rid of me.

"Okay? I'm sure I can find a different cave somewhere else, and if I didn't, what would it mean to you?"

He groaned and threw his head back. I know I get on his nerves, it's just fun, even if I get a punch to the face. He stayed quiet for a second, thinking about what to say. There was an obvious, true answer that he already knew and wouldn't admit. It's clear that he cares. He's just taking his precious time to think up a lie, which will probably be good since he's scarily good at lying from what I can tell despite how many times I've read straight through him.

"Because, if you die burning in the sun Muzan will know you had some sort of setback because you're strong. If he figured out that it was me he'd kill me or give me some sort of threat. I don't feel like dealing with that."

Wow. Great lie. We both know I wouldn't get caught in the sun nor that Muzan would kill him for something as stupid as that. Why won't he admit that he cares?
