Demon Time.

Nine.

❗TW: Slight nsfw at the end I guess?

"Okay…so…you're just gonna protect me or something?" I asked curiously. He nodded his head quickly.

"Mhm! Please, just let me go wherever you go. Or the other way around." He pleaded as he moved closer to me, sighing and hugging me tightly.

I patted his back and shrugged my shoulders. Well, I guess this is a plus since I won't be alone anymore. That was getting kind of depressing.

"Alright…so…I'm gonna go eat now since I'm hungry." I said, watching as he pulled away from the hug.

"Okay! You always loved my cooking, so I just know you'll like what I made for you!" Ryland said before grabbing my hand, quickly rollerblading back into the restaurant. Well, he practically dragged me since I couldn't really keep up with him.

"Geez- slow down." I rolled my eyes.

"Sorry, sorry." He slowed down a bit with a smile, letting me sit back down at my spot.

I started to eat, humming in content. He was right, he is good at cooking. This tastes pretty damn good.

"Soooo~?" Ryland said as he stood there, a wide smile on his face. I glanced at him and nodded.

"It's good…"

"YAY! I really tried my best for you Damien, I'm glad you like it." He said softly.

I couldn't help but feel my face heat up slightly. This bitch…

"O-oh…um, well thanks. I wouldn't mind if you cooked again for me sometime…" I shrugged my shoulders as I spoke, continuing to eat.

Ryland clapped his hands and smiled widely "Oh goody! Hm, you might be falling in love with me already~!" He giggled and watched me.

This weirdo might be right…

I looked down at my plate, pushing my food across it. I mean, I guess there's nothing wrong with falling in love with him.

Wait, if I like him…that would make me gay, right….?

"Wait, I'm gay?" I said suddenly as I looked at him.

"That was kinda random…well, you don't have to be gay to like guys…you could be bisexual, pansexual, queer, or Uranic. You never know!" He said with a smile. I blinked.

"...I only know what bisexual is- why would I like pans?" I shuddered. He giggled and smiled.

"You might be pansexual. Or bisexual. But that's not important right now! Eat, eat eattttt!~"

I just looked at him before continuing to eat.

A few minutes later, I was finished. Ryland had watched me the entire time, that same smile on his face. I sat up and then looked at him.

"I'm all done…" I said, he clapped and took my plate.

"Okay! I'm gonna go wash these, when I get back, you're gonna come with me!" He took my plates and then rollerbladed off with them.

Well…he didn't even ask. He just said I was gonna go with him. Welp, looks like I am getting kidnapped.

I rolled my eyes and relaxed in my seat, leaning back. As I looked around, I met eyes with someone….they were staring at me. They were wearing a black hood over their head, their face not visible. The only thing I saw…was their glowing red eyes.

I stared back…I couldn't look away. I felt sick to my stomach as I stared. I also felt a migraine coming on. It was like…it was like he was hypnotizing me as he maintained eye contact.

Then, I saw him smile. Not a friendly one…not a welcoming, calming one. One that would show up in my nightmares. One that would haunt me.

"I'm backkkk~!" Ryland smiled as he stepped in front of me, breaking my line of vision with the guy. I let out a sigh of relief.

Thank God…

"Um…alright. So, we're gonna go now, right?" I said, getting up and dusting myself off, turning to him.

He nodded, taking my hand into his.

It made me feel….calm. The total opposite of what I was just feeling a few seconds ago when I was looking at that guy. Speaking of him…

I looked over Ryland's shoulder.

He was gone.

What the fuckkkkkkk…

My eyes widened slightly, a chill going down my spine.

"Damien? Are you okay?" Ryland placed a hand on my shoulder, the other still in my hand. He looked worried.

"Huh? Yeah um- I'm fine." I put on a smile and nodded, gently squeezing his hand. He smiled and guided me towards the exit.

"My shift is over so I'm gonna take you back to my place!" He said with a look in his eye. It looked…mischievous. Very suspicious as well. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"...what are we going to do at your place…?" I questioned as we walked down the sidewalk, hand in hand.

"Oh nothing~" he smiled and looked at me.

This bitch.

I just stared at him before slowly just looking forward. He laughed and leaned his shoulder against mine, looking at me with a smirk.

"Okay okay, I plan to do…someeeee things to you~" his hand snaked around my waist, suddenly pulling me against his chest.

"Uh–" my face went red as I looked up at him, my hands on his shoulders as I was blushing bright red. Who does he think he is? Making my face all red like this…what a bitch.

"What is it, Damien? You're adorable when you're like this, heh." He giggled, moving his other hand up, gently caressing my cheek, leaning in slowly.

I blinked, my heart pounding in my chest. Is he really…about to…?

"Don't tease me…asshole…" I muttered as I looked away.

"I'm not teasing…" he whispered before pressing his lips against mine. I blinked as I looked at him.

Well, I've never been kissed in my entire life before. This'll be my first, and better fucking NOT be my last from this bitch. He's a hella good kisser.

I groaned slightly into his mouth as I closed my eyes. He wrapped both his arms around my waist, pressing my body against his tightly. I was practically melting in his arms.

"Mmn…you taste so sweet…" he muttered against my lips, his tongue sliding into my mouth.
