under the moonlight

6

it's already the next day and andrew stayed at your cozy apartment, he wakes up with a blanket around him and notice that you weren't on your bed but felt a light tapped on his shoulder, he turns around and you were facing too close to him.

you stared then move away from him, you set up a foldable table and place a tray with a food and snacks on it. he feels odd when you haven't said anything about last night or just now, you left the room then came back fast with a glass of milk.

"good morning andrew." she greets him, "did you sleep wel—"

"are you.. okay? is your head alright?"

"hm.. my head is okay, thank you for your concern about me."

andrew ate the breakfast you made then he remembered that it's already weekdays, you were supposed to attend to school but perhaps you missed your time to attend to. the breakfast you made was an omelette and inside of it was a fried rice, the snacks you served was baked cookies. andrew look at you, you mentioned back then that you were a college broke but it doesn't look like you're broke.

".... are you really a broke..? you don't look like you're poor.."

"i am, well i pay my rent and bills then bought essential materials and food to survive...." you went closer to him and sat quietly, "....what are you going to do now..?"

andrew couldn't help but remember what happened last night and sigh, "i don't want to stay with her any longer.. so will you be kind to let me stay here?" he stared blankly at the tray then felt a gentle pat on his head.

"i will let you stay here, andrew."

"thank you."

after he finishes his breakfast meal, you clean up the table and put the tray away so she could wash it. andrew sits alone at the floor, he notices a book under her bed then reads it..

it's a sex education book.. filled with fully detailed sticky notes on it.

he carefully put the book away and pretend that he didn't saw that, to the point that there's full highlights of every detail that you wrote on sticky notes, the fact (y/n) puts a lot of questions you written there judging of your curiousness.

THUD

he heard a loud noise coming from the kitchen, he checks up on you to see what's going on. his eyes went wide open as he saw the plate is broken and you lying on the floor while the water is running on the sink, he immediately turn off the water then panicking shakes your body.

"(y/n), what happened? wake up..!"

you wake up but your vision still blurry, he carries you then place you gently back on your bed, "i lied.. i lied that i'm okay.. my head still hurts from that impact, i need to... i need to regenerate." he didn't notice that you have cuts on your arm from the broken plate.

"i'll get you a first-aid kit, can yo—"

as he turns around to you, the room turn into sinister red aura with weird symbols written all over the wall. your eyes turn red like blood, grunting as if she was struggling, your cuts on your arm suddenly disappeared and heals. things went back to normal but however, andrew seems terrified yet confused about what happened, he checked on you and it seems you passed out from the exhaustion.

"....... what the fuck...?!" he thought. "hey! wake up.. wake up, (y/n)!" he shakes your body violently, you groan and slowly open your eyes.

"......."

"aren't you going to explain of what the fuck was that??! ......who are you exactly?"

"i'm sorry... i am still me, i am half-human and half-demon."

the gaseous came out on your feet, andrew sees the worry and panic of your face, afraid that he dislike you. you look around and found your violin, not knowingly the pain creeps in your body as you feel the tears rolling down on your cheek, you start to play the tune to calm you down.

the gaseous dissolved into thin air, you feel awful as if you wanted to go back to where you belonged to. ".... are you done now?" he speaks.

"mhmm.. you can lea—"

andrew gently place his hand on your shoulder, "i'm not.. to say the least, you can control yourself than my sister. even though you told me that you're half-demon, i don't see you as a bad person.. or demon." he smiles sweetly while patting your shoulder, "you were kind and honest that i've met, (y/n)."

andrew grabbed your violin and put it carefully on the table then embraces you, "i'm not the type of a gentle person but all i did was to comfort you." you could feel his head move a little, you look down and realize what he meant.

"thank you.."
