The Little Succubus

⛓Chapter 36⛓

Emily M's POV.

Diana looked between their hands for a brief moment and slightly hesitated before accepting his hand. When she had gotten down to where he was; she let go of his hand and glanced up at his face. He met her gaze with an apologetic one. She stepped away from him a bit, not really knowing what kind of creature he'd be and wanting to give him room. Before he started taking off any of his clothes he gave her one last look as an out but all he  was her smiling back at him and giving him an approving nod.

With that he sighed and started off by taking off his shoes, pants, and shirt. Diana looked him over with interest curiosity. She was eager to find out what he really looked liked. She was sure and had convinced herself that it couldn't be anything that bad. She was hypothetically sitting on the edge of her seat and it killed her knowing she was just seconds away from seeing him. Really seeing him.

These second felt like long drawn out minutes. Krampus was nervous about all this and was starting to sweat a little bit hey he had already just committed to it, right? I mean if he didn't do it now then when? Would he ever do it or even get this close to doing it again? And well his clothes were alright off his body and discarded to the side. It was really now or never, and when he had finally done it. When he had finally let go of his nerves and just done it. It felt like a breath of cool fresh air, that is till he had heard the small little gasp that had escaped Diana.

His blood suddenly ran cold and he slowly turned his head to look at her. He had expected her to be terrified or regretful but when he looked back at her wide eyes all he could see in them was surprise and something close to.. familiarity? But why would that be? They had never met before school had started, right? So why did her eyes look at him like he had someone she'd seen before? Did he at some point have to visit her when she was little? His head was reeling with questions and mind was beginning to race.

When it had all happened Diana knew he was supposed to have horns and goat legs and stuff like that but seeing him now.. in person and realizing that he had been the guy that she ran into on the day that she had arrived... it all fell weirdly surreal. Honestly she didn't expect to run into the guy again and thought that if she did he'd be more of the stand-off ish bully type of person.

When she had realized that he looked panicked and she was practically gawking with her mouth to the floor she quickly closed it and her eyes softened. She walked towards him a bit, and once she with in arms length of him she reached a hand up and placed it softly on his cheek. The touch seemed to ground him and soon his eyes fell calmly onto hers.

"You're beautiful." She breathed out. Her voice was almost at a whisper but Krampus seemed to hear it clear as day. "Have we.." Krampus started to speak but the word seemed to get lost on him.
"Have we what?" Diana questioned while tilting her head. Krampus swallowed his next breath and he searched for the words he wanted to say and once he had them he began to speak again. "Have we met before? Erm.. it's just that when I looked back at you you kinda seemed like... ugh I don't know.. Like you had seen me before?"

She let his words process in her mind a bit before she let out a little bit of laughter. "Oh, yeah we've met before. The day before school started I accidentally ran into you and you told me to 'watch it' then checked me out and walked away." At the mention of what he had done his cheek grew a pink tint of embarrassment and shame of how he had treated her. "Sorry.." he mumbled out with a groan. Diana responded with a giggled out; "that's ok, but we should probably start heading back now so we don't wake up late for classes tomorrow." Krampus nodded in agreement and retook his human form.

Once he had gotten his clothes back on he had helped Diana back up the small hill and they walked back to the school in comfortable silence.
