Demon's greeting

ch 10

I blinked and my face started to heat up as I saw how close we were. His ocean blue eyes stared at me with worry and wonder as I ungritted my fangs. I pulled away and scratched the back of my neck.

"Sorry Double D, I didn't mean to scare you." I could feel my fangs disappearing and a small sting in my eyes telling me they were returning to human normal.

I look at the dork and my heart breaks. His skin paled to the color of paper and his soft aqua were wide and pale. His bottom lip quivered as he stared at me. I felt bad for the dork.

Tears leaked from the corners of his eyes and dribbled down to his chin. They gathered there before falling against his red shirt. One hit his dogtag pendant and splattered against the cool, hard surface. I felt a tug at my heart and decided to try and comfort him.

"Look, Dee, I know this is a lot but I'm sorry I left you. That is the whole reason I am here. It's kinda hard to explain but I can try if you listen to me." I spoke and crouched to look up at him. His tears had stopped but he still had a very worried look on his face. I leaned forward and gently grabbed his face. He filched slightly at my touch and I frowned.

"Edd, please forgive me. I wanted to tell you how I felt from the beginning and I just never could express it." I say slightly in a sad tone.

Edd looks up at me with worried eyes and I begin to speak again,"But... I believe I know how to now."

The dork's eyes widened and he opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out. He closed his mouth and looked away while covering his face. I frowned and placed my fingers on his chin. I directed his face towards my direction and he looked into my eyes. I was lost instantly in the ocean of blue as I leaned forward.

I close my eyes as our lips meet. His soft lips were, for a second, unmoving against my own but he soon returned the kiss.

I moved my hands to gently hold his face as I wiped the tears from his eyes with my thumbs while I pulled away. Edd kept his eyes shut for a moment longer after the kiss. It was almost like he wished it were not a dream. Good thing it is not.

"Edd, I know how I feel about you. I love you. That is why I came back to earth. To help you get off the path of total destruction and help you go to heaven." I say with as much affection as I can. Deep in my chest it hurts because I am a demon but I ignore it for him.

"Why would you do something like that for the likes of me. You bullied me all my childhood then killed yourself then after four years you come back with these feelings!" Edd yells and pulls my hands away from him. I back up slightly to give him room and he stands up too.

"This whole time I've been trying to get the town, the city to be a better place. I've been depressed and still fighting the fact you left and I would never see you again!" He walked over and hit me in the chest. His balled up fists stayed against my chest as he laid his forehead also against my chest.

It was silent for a few seconds before I heard Edd sigh. I was against the wall with my hands raised slightly to the side. I was unsure what to do for the long moment of silence.

"You have no heartbeat." His voice scared me for a second before my mind caught onto what he said. I looked down at him and saw he had his head turned so he was trying to listen. I never paid attention to my body.

Edd's cold fingers pressed against my neck and I hissed while he prodded for a pulse. He grabbed my wrist and did the same. His eyes were wide and he reached over at his counter for a needle. My own eyes widen and I jerk my arm from him.

"I still hate those things dude*." I spoke up roughly. I heard a small chuckle from him and looked at him from the needle and saw his little smile. My stomach felt like it was doing flips. His smile was what I will live for. Why I came back.

"My apologies Kevin." The dork said as he put the needle back in its precise place. I smiled, this definitely was my dork I left four years ago. Almost nothing has changed. Except the fact he was not wearing his beanie.

I shook my head and smiled wider as I grabbed the dork's shoulders. I pulled the smaller boy into a hug. He tensed up at first but then relaxed and hugged me back. Even something as simple as this can mean the world to someone.
