The Little Succubus

Diana's POV.

... Oh boy...
Ok here we go, looks like the only way to resolve this is by actually talking about it... fuck me.

My mind was completely racing along with all my emotions. I'm not sure when it it started but suddenly I was hyper aware of everything that was happening all at once and I was shaking.. why am I shaking? The worst he could do is reject me. That's nothing to be afraid of, right? It's not like it could end our friendship.

..Could it end our friendship?..
no no no! This is not good! What if I just pussied out and not give him an answer, that's a thing I can do right?

While I was all wrapped up in my spiraling thoughts I hadn't noticed the the gentle hand now resting on my cheek. At least not until he spoke up. "Dia, you're shaking.. let's go and talk inside. Besides you also seem like you could use some tea to help calm you down." I looked up and my eyes briefly met his concerned ones. I didn't give much of a response besides looking away from his gaze and nodding.

We walked back inside in completely awkward silence. We walked till we made it to my current room. I unlocked the door and we both went in. He made me a small cup of tea while I took a seat on the bed. My eyes kept flickering from my clasped hands to the floor and back again. My foot bounced anxiously while I tried to gather all my words together so nothing came out like a meaningless rambling mess.

Krampus's POV.

I noticed Diana started to shake when I asked for an answer... Weather it was out of nerves, fear, or the cold I have no clue. I had gotten her back inside and was now making us both tea. While making the calming drink I began to think back and wonder what she meant by calling me blind..
what am I not getting?

I sighed as I finished up making the tea and taking the two cups back to where Diana was seated. She gave me a polite "thank you" and I gave her a nod. We sat in silence for a bit until I decided to break it. "So... you ready to talk?" She looked over at me then back down to her small cup of tea. She took a deep breath and looked back at me. "You're an idiot." I sat there confused not entirely sure of what she was talking abt but waited for her to continue.
"Ok.." I said slowly
"You're a huge idiot. I was hoping that maybe you weren't completely clueless but it seems like you actually are and I don't know would be worse; you actually being clueless or you just choosing to ignore and over look everything." Her words made me raise any eyebrow in confusion. That clearly wasn't the reaction she wanted to get out of me since she let out a groan of frustration.

"If I'm so clueless then why don't you make me understand?" I watched as her face got a tint of pink that spread across her cheeks. It made me smile at how adorable she was.
"I don't want you to be partners with zoë for that class anymore.." I leaned back in my seat and took a sip of my tea.
"Oh? And why would that be?" I liked watching as she grew more frustrated and her cheeks got brighter.
"Because I want to be your partner for that class. I don't wanna be submissive like that for Sierra or anyone else in that class." I started to understand what she was saying or at least I thought I did.
"Then why didn't you tell me sooner? I mean I help you out in other classes so I don't see why I can't help you out with that on" Her eyes glanced up to mine but she didn't necessarily look happy with my answer.

"Krampus... this is a lot more then just wanting familiarity and for you to help me out with a class.."
I gave her a confused look.
"Then what is it you want?" My question clearly upset her a bit and she gave me a look that told me I was over looking something pretty important in the conversation.

Diana's POV.

".. I want you.." my voice came out low as I choked back tears knowing that he wouldn't accept my feelings. "and if I'm being honest I don't know if I'll still be able to see you as 'just a friend' anymore." I continued. "I really like you and I don't want to lose you."

After my confession he stayed quiet with a perplexed look on his face. He took a moment to process my words carefully but when he gave me a look I knew I had been rejected. A tense silence filled the room until Krampus decided to speak up. "Why?" His voice came out rough and like he didn't want to ask the question.
"Sorry?" I questioned.
"Why do you like me? What about me makes you attracted to me? And even if you are right now there's no guarantee that you'll stay attracted to me when I'm no longer in my human form. You find this version of me attractive not the actual me." I stay quiet or really more like stunned. Did he really think that? Apparently I stayed quiet for to long because he had gotten up and started heading to the door and before I knew what I was doing I quickly spoke out the first thing that came to mind.

"...Show me..."
