I held out my hand to help Philip up, he looked at my hand for a second. I sensed he felt hesitant and nervous, it also showed in his eyes. He took a really long second, but he eventually took my hand and got up.

I was about to ask if he was okay but I had no time to react before Philip had pulled me into a hug. He hugged me pretty tight, and I wanted to push him off but I couldn't. I haven't had a hug in way too long, I've never had any kind of affection in forever either. It just felt nice to have someone hug me.

I didn't know how to react, I hadn't shown love to anyone because nobody had to me. What was I supposed to do? I kind of just let him hug me. I really was trying to push him off! But I needed that. So badly.

So what if I'm a demon?

Shit.

This isn't what I'm supposed to be doing.

No. It's okay to get off track sometimes! This wouldn't effect anything. Just a simple hug.

He didn't stop hugging me, even if I "wanted" him too. I took me way longer than it should've to hug him back, but I eventually did. It seemed like the longest few minutes before he finally got a grip and let me go.

That hug felt really, really nice. I didn't know I needed one so badly until he did hug me but I can't show I enjoyed it. "I'm so sorry! It's quite impolite to hug someone without permission.. But, thank you for standing up for me." He spoke, I noticed his british accent immediately. But it wasn't the worst I had heard, maybe one of the best.

Okay it's weird to think someone's accent is better than another's. It's just weird to think of someone's accent in a nice way. Oh my god that's so weird. I'm literally being so fucking weird! What the fuck?! Jeez I need to get used to having an actual friendly interaction with someone.

"Whatever." I started. I brushed off my shirt where we had hugged to act like it was nothing, but it really did mean a lot. "I just wanted to help someone today, nothing much." I had continued.

A big smile was plastered across his face, I could tell he hadn't felt much affection in his life either. Guess we both needed it.

Oh my goodness, I need to kill him! Not actually care for him. It's okay! It's okay to act as a friend.

"Well, I truly do appreciate it. Thank you so so so much!" I could tell he wanted to hug me again, I honestly wanted him to. I wanted another hug. I needed one. From anyone. My dad never would hug me, and my mom was always at work.

I can read peoples body languages really well. Well, if it's a feeling I understand I'll be able to read it.

"Don't worry. If someone bothers you again I'll make sure to be there."

He looked like he was gonna cry. I honestly felt bad, he hadn't had anyone ever. "I really don't know what to say. By the way, my names Philip. What's yours?"

"Damien. Nice to meet you."

"It's a pleasure to meet you too!" He continued to smile, and it seemed to light up the room.
