Various anime one shots book 2

Demon Queen (Maddie)

You're small. Thick, yes. But short, A nd being so small, you're just the slightest bit feisty, but not that bad. And, having an attitude greater than your height, your opening ceremony is interesting.

It starts out with you starting on your way inside. You cross paths with a blonde boy who's very big muscles and height and he even seems strong. And is picking a fight with a teacher. To which he loses Very quickly.
Noticing your gawking, he yells, "What're you lookin' at?! Oh, yeah! The next Demon King!"
He laughs merrily.
Automatically repulsed, you start to step away, but then he's already in front of you, taking three steps when it would have taken you eight. Glaring up at him, you fold your arms.
"I highly doubt that you are the next Demon King."
"I will have you know that I am the most eligible for it! Once I make Yud, I will be the greatest Demon King ever! And you will bow to me!"
"I will do no such thing. I have absolutely no reason to do something so degrading."
He tilts his head to the side, seeming to hardly notice what you just said. "You're really tiny."
Now fuming, you snap, "Excuse me?! I will have you know I am a very strong, intimidating-"
"You're actually kind of adorable. I'm pretty sure I could wrap my entire hand around your waist."
Heat rushes to your cheeks. Flustered, you say just leave me alone.
You stomp inside, calling him every name you can think of. Pervert, Weirdo, Idiot. Delusional, Stupid blonde.
Somehow, you ended up seated beside the blonde at the ceremony. The kid who gives the honors speech is also pretty small with blue hair and big eyes. What's more, is that he's the grandson of the Chair Demon.
"How's it feel to sit next to the next Demon King?" asks the stupid boy.
"I wouldn't know."
"I'm Sobnok, by the way."
"I'm gonna rip your vocal chords out, by the way."
"What? Is this you challenging me?"
"Maybe it is. What'll you do about it?"
"I don't like hitting girls."
"Oh, what? Scared I'll win?"
"Fine, fine. After the ceremony, well take it outside."
"Bet."
What the heck did you just do?
After the opening ceremony, you tried sneaking away, but Sobnok grabbed hold of your collar and carried you outside.
"Maybe this isn't the best idea." you say. "I mean, we could get into trouble 'n stuff."

"That matters not to the future Demon King!"
"Okay, but it matters to me."
"Art thou scared?"
"No! Just concerned..."
"So scared? Is this you forfeiting?"
"Ngh- no-."
"Then let's do this!" He drops you and pulls out a giant sword.
With a big gulp. you say a silent prayer.

0.0.0.o.o.

Needless to say, you lost. But, surprisingly, he was gentlemanly enough to not hurt you. Just get you on the ground.
As in, he picked you up and put you down onto your back, nodded, and said, "I win."
"Jerk." You sit back up and fold your arms.
"I went easy on you."
You glower.
"Aw, are you pouting now?"
"I do not pout."
"Ha! It's hilarious!" He pulls out his demi-phone and snaps a picture of you.
Fuming, you say, "Did I give you permission to take my picture? Delete it!"
"No."
You try to snatch the phone, but he lifts it all the way up in the air. For him, he's not raising his arm that high, but you sure as heck can't reach it. Stubborn, you try to climb on him to get it, earning a laugh from him.
"You won't be able to reach it."
"I can still try!"
By now, you're climbing his arm like a tree branch. Like the jerk he is, he switches the phone to the other hand.
"Oh, come on! Just delete it!"
"No, it's my prized photo, I'll print it out and frame it."
"B- but you don't even know me! Why print out my photo? I'm not that cute. Find a really pretty cute girl to do this to, She'll look better for your décor."
"I did use a really pretty cute girl for it."
"No, you didn't! It's me!"
"Exactly." He plucks your collar, now holding you in the air in front of his face. "Hahah! Every Demon King would need a Demon Queen, huh? Whaddya say?"
Now redder than a tomato, you stare at him wide eyed, fumbling around like a fool. "I- what?! I'm- you're-"
He bellows out another laugh. "Give it some thought, short stuff."
Carefully, he sets you down on the ground, giving your head a little pat.
"I'll see you later, then."

∙0.0.0.0.

On your way inside the school, you make it a point to avoid Sobnok. You've been put into the misfit class for fighting another student, even though it wasn't much of a fight. Likely, Sobnok will be in the same class, for a similar reason. That and he tried fighting a teacher.
His comment yesterday never fails to put a blush on your face every time you remember it. He couldn't have been serious, could he? There's no reason a good-looking guy like himself would be interested in you, right? You're surely not the prettiest demon around. And you were so mean to him! There's no way he's interested in you. It's a joke, perhaps? Maybe you've been reading too far into this.
"F/N!!" calls that very blonde as you enter the classroom.
He's already seated, beckoning for you to come over.
Swallowing the lump in your throat, you will yourself forward and go towards him. "Hello, Sobnok."
"Why don'cha sit down?"
"Sure." You sit beside him, tense and you look at him with what you hope is no emotion.
"Did you think about what I said yesterday?" I haven't stopped.
"A little. But please specify now-were you serious, or was it a joke?"
"Joke? Why would I joke about that? I'm not gonna talk about a future Demon Queen jokingly-"
"Okay, enough about the whole Demon King ordeal. I wanna know if you're genuinely interested in me."
"Yeah? I felt that was obvious, I was checking you out, like, since moment one."
"Y- you were?" Suddenly, you feel very stupid.
"You didn't notice?"
Embarrassed, you avert your eyes. "No, I didn't."
"Hey, look at me." Pressing a palm to your cheek, he turns your head to look at him. "You may as well agree because I'm future Demon King so it only makes sense."
"Oh my gosh. Do you think about anything else?"
"You."
"Well- get a life. I'm too boring to think about."
Folding your arms, you reel away from his touch.
"Not at all. Those pretty e/c eyes haunted all my dreams last night. You're very beautiful and I like your feistiness. Perfect for a-"
"If you say 'Demon Queen,' I am going to literally murder you."
"You can't even beat me in a normal fight."
"I'll play dirty and kill you in your sleep."
"That's not very nice. Though a good Demon Queen should be cunning-"
"That's it. We're done." You stand up and find another seat, ignoring him when he calls out to you.
Later, at lunch, Sobnok sits beside you, resting his chin in his hand at he stares at you affectionately. "I think you've gotten prettier in the past four hours."
Picking up some rice with your chopsticks, you say, "I haven't."
"Hm, I must be falling more and more for you, then."
You glare at him, "Will you ever stop?"
"Probably not. But, when I'm Demon King, I can spoil you-"
"For the last time! Stop making this about being demon king! It's stupid!"
"It is not. And it's not a bad idea to use it as leverage to get the girl I like."
"It's not going to work, I'm not so easily bribed."
"Come on. I'm obsessed with you. What more could you ask?"
"A lot, I could ask a lot more. Like depth beyond obsession."
"Depth?"
"Get to know me. Fall for my personality."
"I can do that."
"Don't make promises you can't keep."
"But- I'm not. You say the weirdest of things, you know that?"
"Just shut up and eat." You shove food in his mouth, hoping to silence him.
With a smile, he chews and swallows. "Feeding me now? We already look like a couple."
"I- I just wanted you to be quiet. Don't get the wrong idea."
"Of course not." He leans in and kisses your cheek. "The general idea is that I'm future Demon King and you're future Demon Queen. Simple as that."
"N- no! J- just no! You're crazy!"
"Well, you sure as heck won't be a mistress." He tilts his head to the side. "So what else would you be?"
"I- just shut up!"
Poking your cheek, he tells you, "You're blushing."
"I'm seething with rage."
"No, you look flustered."
"Just be quiet."
"Is that a challenge?"
"Yes. It's the quiet game. You're not allowed to make any noise, okay? Winner wins one wish from the loser. Fair?"
He nods.
"Okay. Start."

•O.0.0.0.

It's been three weeks. He won't leave your side, saying he has to make sure you don't cheat. Finally, you decide that you've had enough.
You look at him and say, "You win. Just stop stalking me."
"Okay! Now you owe me a wish!"
"Let me just clarify. I'm no genie. I have limits."
"I already know exactly what I want."
"Fine. Go ahead."
"Be my girlfriend."
Heat rushes to your cheeks. You do like him a little. Even though he was silent, he was very gentle and respectful, always smiling at you and seeming to fawn.
"Well- I did say a wish. I guess I have to."
"YES!!! PROJECT FUTURE DEMON QUEEN F/N IS A GO!!!"
"Slow down! That's way too fast!!"
"Not fast enough! I'm gonna make Yud, marry you, and well rule the Netherworld! Hahah!"
"No." You walk away, smiling.
