On the other side

The first touch(es)

The teenage demon looked hurt...he was dirty...he had cuts, he was hiding behind a rose bush, staring at me. I wasn't bothered by it, though...I closed my book and set it beside me. As I stood up I sighed and stretched letting out a groan.

I started to approach the rose bush. The demon must have noticed me cause he hid himself behind it...I may have let out a slight chuckle at the sight, the demon seemed cute. I didn't notice the smile on my face. I carefully approached the rose bush.

Once I approached the bush I crouched down, and pushed some if the roses aside, revealing the demon. "...Hello there, dear..." I said, my tone in my voice soft and calming. The demon looked up at me...his eyes were absolutely beautiful...the color of Ruby...he had horns and a tail with a rounded point.

The demon didn't speak...but he started to tremble, he was scared...thats not what I wanted...i sat down and reached my hand out for him to take, i didn't expect anything as I may come off as scary at first...but one question played in my mind, what was a demon doing here in the heavenly realm.

The demon looked up at me...I just can't get over how beautiful he is...The demon was hesitant at first but his hand touched mine...his hand was soft. Once he grasped my hand I stood up bringing him up also. "...are you alright...?" I said, a hint of concern in my voice. The demon shook his head.

"...Then let's take you up to my chambers and get you all fixed up..." I took my jacket and carefully wrapped it around him, then tucked him under my wing. His hand was still in mine, his grip was soft but tight...like he had no intention to let go.

I held him hand in hand, while he was under my wing, passed the guards and through the halls. Once we got to my chambers, I led him to my bed and sat him down. I removed my jacket from around him and placed it onto my coat rack. "Stay here...ill be back" I said, then I went into my bathroom, looked under my sink and grabbed my aid kit.

As I walked out of the bathroom, I looked up at the demon and then let out a chuckle, He was wrapped up in the blanket that was on the bed. "What are you doing dear?..." I said as I walked up and pulled the blanket off of the demons head, not taking it off completely.

The demon looked up at me, and shockingly spoke, "...its soft...and comfortable..." He said, his tone soft and quiet. "Well then, you can wrap up in it after I'm done healing you, okay?" I said, my tone had a hint of playfulness in it, the demon nodded as he lowered the blanket.

I set the aid kit down next to the demon,  then I opened it and took out some achohal wipes and bandages, I'm so glad I leaned how to do this when I was younger. "Now...this might sting a bit, so tell me if it hurts..." I said, the demon nodded.
