Demons can love? (HakuKoyu/Akakoyu story.)

I'm actually doing really well.

Akaza POV:

I was half awake already. I heard noises that sounded like shuffling but I just kept my eyes closed, not thinking about waking up.

I thought I heard something or even sense something in front of me but I wasn't quite sure. I definitely knew I wasn't tripping when I felt it land on me.

I woke up quickly, startled. I don't know what I was expecting, but it was Kiyaka. I didn't get a chance to speak before she was stuttering away, clearly embarrassed.

How did I get here?

"H-hey, it's okay. Don't get yourself worked up over this. Tell me, what were you do though?"

She stared at me, a tint of red on her face.

"I was.. thinking about waking you up. I got food for you.!"

She's already doing something for me? I just woke up? I nodded my head.

"Okay.. thanks."

Her eyes shot up to look at me when I thanked her. Her face lit up and she smiled wide like she was glowing.

"No problem.!"

She stood and hurried out of the room.

I slowly stood up, stretching and waking up. I thought about how she was on top of me earlier and found myself getting flustered again.

I brushed it off and left the room. There was blood smeared on the ground and it took me a second to realize the corpses on the counter. Kiyaka noticed that I saw the blood and smiled nervously at me from behind the counter.

"I'll get that cleaned up soon. Sorry for the mess."

I snickered and shook my head.

"Why do you think I care?"

I unfamiliarly sat at the bar as she offered me the corpses to eat. She smiled at me as I started to eat. She wasn't looking away.

"What are you staring at?"

She caught herself and laughed.

"I was just curious about something. Last night, did you take me to the bed?"

I didn't want to answer that and I had a feeling she knew I didn't want to either. I might as well just be nonchalant about it and make it not seem like utterly embarrassed to admit it.

"Yeah, I did."

I kept eating after, hoping she'd leave it alone. Like her, she didn't.

"Thank you. I appreciate it, you didn't have to do that for me, I would've been fine on the couch."

I shrugged, continuing to act like this didn't embarrass or pester me.

"It really isn't a big deal. Don't thank me."

She smirked and leaned in slightly.

"You put blankets over me and let me have the only bed. That was very sweet and caring, Akaza."

She was so obviously teasing me. I had a feeling she knew this was tearing me up.

"I don't even sleep in beds, I prefer the ground. I actually think you are really weird for liking beds. I don't get blankets or laying on a mattress. And I am not caring nor sweet. I don't care about you at all."

She snickered.

"The fact you fell asleep right beside the bed to make sure I was safe says otherwise, but okay! I believe you!"

I felt a warm feeling in my chest as my face heated up. So embarrassing. I know she would normally anger me with a comment like that because I know it's true but instead it formed a lump in my throat. I just stared at my hands, staying quiet. What was this feeling? I don't want to like it but I do.

Kiyaka POV:

I looked at him as he fell silent. He knew I was right and didn't have anything to say back. I thought he would've at least told me to shut up or something but he just stared at his hands in silence.

I didn't care about this silence. I didn't say anything after either. I felt content. Something about this moment gave me a familiar but unknown feeling. I liked it. It made me smile, genuinely. I think I'm happy.

After sitting quiet for a while I realized this unknown emotion had no intentions of leaving.

"Akaza. I think I'm happy right now. Like, being here with you."

I don't know what compelled me to say that, but I said it and I didn't regret it.

Akaza looked up at me, something in his eyes was different. I saw innocence, purity, and happiness.

Akaza smiled. A genuine smile.

"Me too, Kiyaka."

In that moment, there was so much I wanted to say and do. I stared into his eyes and just kept finding more to him that I liked as more emotions swirled in my chest. His eyes. I feel like a flame sparked in my heart. I'd felt something faint this whole time but it's really peaking right now. Again, it was familiar but unknown. I just shook my head and smiled even wider as tears welled in my eyes.

Akaza took notice of my tears and seemed concerned.

"Are you okay?"

I laughed softly, wiping the tears.

"I'm okay. I'm actually doing really well."
