But he's a demon... and I'm just a mere human. He's already dead and I've still got my whole life ahead of me..
But I love him.

(A/N: Imagine the dresses however you want! You're the reader and not everyone likes everything)
I was on a video call with Astro, trying on new dresses I has bought. We were planning on going clubbing sometime this week as we haven't done so in a long time.
I wore a long, silky red dress with a leg slit and spaghetti straps. It was beautiful, plus looked good on my figure and made me feel fancy. However, it wasn't really a dress i'd wear out at the club. Astro complimented me before I turned off my camera to try on the next dress.
The next was a shorter dress. It reached my upper thigh - definitely one I wouldn't be able to bend over in. It was black but textured, with off the shoulder sleeves. It was by far the best option as I scanned through the previous dresses.
I turned on my camera for Astro to see the dress and they loved it. I agreed that it was the most suitable and decided I'd wear it.
We chose to go to the club tonight as neither of us had anything special planned as well as having no work to do tomorrow. This means we can drink as much as we want.
Gosh.. I really need to quit drinking I thought to myself, sighing as Astro had to go pee and would be back in a minute. I flopped down on ny back, starfishing over my double bed. But I'm sure a little more couldn't hurt right..? Oh well.
I closed my eyes, relaxing into the fluffy blanket covering the end of my bed. I thought about Alastor, about how we can't be together much longer. Not if we're the species we are.
I felt my heart ache at the thought of it, the thought of leaving him forever. Goosebumps rippled up my bare arms as I ran against the early spring wind and the smell of freshly cut grass dominated my senses.
I jumped into Llyris' arms, he held me tight - like he would never let go. I could feel both our hearts drumming against each other as moved his arms, letting me fall down to my feet and freeing me of his somewhat muscular grip.
I smiled brightly in the moment of ecstasy. A moment of joy - we had just finished school forever, I had met him outside like he promised.
Llyris gave me a hug before kissing my forehead and opening his mouth to speak. His words sent warmth through my body, a contrast to the chill breeze. He gave me his jacket to warm me up - cliché but thoughtful and selfless.
We walked together, linking arms underneath the blossoming trees which lined the street. That night we went on a date, leading to a special moment in which I lost for pleasure.
It felt good at first. I felt like I was at my peak - I loved myself, I loved Llyris, I loved life.
So, what happened? I thought to myself. Llyris' sweet words were washed away by the wind, carried up among petals in the breeze only to eventually fall.
I opened my eyes and stared at my bland ceiling. Damn.. life sucks and I'm only 19..
I heard a rustling from the other end of the call, Astro must be back.
I rolled over onto my stomach with my camera turned off. I watched my phone as Astro sat down and took a sip of their soft drink.
"Do you want me to pick you up?" I asked.
"Yes, please!" They replied with a smile like always.

I stood in front of my floor length mirror in the tight black dress from before. My necklace reflected the golden rays of sunset flooding through my blinds as I brushed my hair and stepped into my heels.
Before leaving I made sure to double check my makeup, then I did a few quick poses in the mirror and left.
I locked the door behind me and turned around to my car. I opened it and sat in the driver's seat, before remembering we were both going to be drinking. I huffed but still started the engine, what's the worst that could happen?
I swapped my heels for some better shoes to drive in which were stored in the compartment on the passenger side. I then drove off to pick up Astro.
Astro opened the door and got in, they wore a slightly baggy graphic vest and a pair of low-rise combat trousers. A thin line of skin was exposed between the two garments, though the combat trousers were accessorised using a chunky belt and chains.
Their dark teal mullet looked as fluffy as ever and their eyeliner was thick, complimenting their reflective eyes.
We drove to the club, music playing in the background as we chatted on our way.
Finally, I pulled into a parking space nearby and we got out the car after I changed back to my heels.
"If we both get wasted, what are you gonna do? About your car?" Astro asked as a gentle breeze ran through my hair.
"I'm not exactly sure, probably call someone like Opal who lives nearby? She would definitely drive us back"
"Oh yeah, the one who picked us up the night that creepy guy paid you to pole dance..?"
I cracked a small smile, "Yeah, her. That guy was really creepy though, eugh" A shiver ran down my spine at the thought of the guy. "At least I got money I guess."
"Would you do it again? Would you do it for me?" Astro asked with a teasing smirk.
"Without a doubt" I replied back.
We stood outside the club, getting scanned so we could be let inside. Neon lights illuminated the place and music blared through powerful speakers.
There were some people already pretty drunk and most people were dancing on the main floor. We took a seat at one of the tables that were lined up by the wall. They all had sofa chairs, which were surprisingly clean and comfortable, I guess we did get here pretty early.. lucky us.
I gazed over to a small platform with a pole in the middle, cushioned chairs were situated around it and a sign saying "free use" meant that anyone could dance on it for now. Astro followed my gaze and looked over to the pole, "Why don't you give it a go, then?" They took out some money notes from their bag and held them up.
My eyes widened but I flashed a smirk before grabbing the money, stuffing it down my bra and strutting over to the pole.
I still remember when I used to practice this.. hmm
I stood up on the platform and grabbed the pole with both hands, watching Astro as they sat wide-legged in a chair directly facing it.
