Giggling (away) Love

Secret.

I was wondering for a long long time.

Zero had those red veins under his bangs.
Could he be...a demon?
Like me?

If so,what rank is he?
Does his horns face forward , upright or backwards?

What power does he have?

I have dream manipulation..
What about him?

I didn't realize I was so deep into my thoughts that class was already over.

Wow, couldn't believe the teacher didn't call me out.She would have but I guess not today.

I looked over to my side and saw Zero ready to leave for lunch.

I reached out and tugged his sleeve.

I needed answers...
The suspense was killing me...

"What's wrong?" He asked as he sat back down,looking concerned after seeing my facial expression.

He placed a hand on my shoulder and waited for me to talk.

I opened my mouth but closed it.
I could be wrong and he would think I'm weird...

Zero stood up,took my arm and dragged me out.

"Wha-Where are we going?"I asked as I nearly fell when he dragged me.

"Rooftop."He replied as he walked up the stairs with his hand still on my arm.

I felt the wind hit me as he kicked open the doors.He let out of my arm and locked the doors behind us.

He beckons me to sit on the floor under the roof of the entrance.

I made myself comfortable and looked at him.

"So?" He asked as he sat there,ready to listen to everything I had to say.

"...What were those red veins under your bangs?" I muttered out.

His eye widens as he heard my question and looks down.
He looked up again and opened his mouth to speak.I saw his fangs.There was no mistake.

"...Do you want to know?" He questioned.
He sounded like he would get killed if he told me.

I held up my pinky finger towards him.

"Pinky swear ,I won't tell anyone."I told him as I inched my pinked closer to him.

He took out his pinky and promised with me.

"I will kill you if you ever tell anyone,got it?" He said as he tried to look intimidating but he just looked cute.

"Got it." I said with a smile.

He took a deep breathe.
I was prepared for it.

"I'm a demon..."He said.

Silence fell between us.

"I KNEW IT!!" I screamed out as I pointed my finger at him, standing up.Birds that were on the roof started to fly away,that's how loud I screamed.

Zero looked taken back as he was expecting me to not believe him.

"I thought you wouldn't believe or get scared.."He said as he held my arm to pull me back down.

I put my hands on his shoulders and looked into his eyes.

"You know why I'm not scared?"I asked him.

"Why?"He replied back.

"Because I'm a demon too!"I declared as I grinned.Proud of being one.

"Y-you are?"He stuttered as he questioned me.

"Yes!"I shouted out as I moved my bangs from my eye revealing my power.

My eye had the universe in it.
And a nebula similar to fire.

"I can use fire as a weapon and I can manipulate people's dreams!" I told him.

Zero moved his bangs and revealed his.

His eye was green but red was fusing with that green but could never mix.
It had a clock.
With it's hour hands moving as well.

"I can manipulate time."He told me.

"But...I'm a low rank demon.."He added ,saying it in a sad tone.

He showed me his horns.
They were facing foward.
The signs of a low ranking demon with no money or social status in the demon world.

I showed him my horns.
They were slicked back.
The signs of a high ranking demon with wealthy bloodlines and aristocratic social status in our society.

"I envy you...being able to enhance your powers while I can't even afford one training class where I lived."He said as he laughed with jealousy.

There were other ways to advance rank.
Not just money or status.
But simple determination and practice could advance you further.
The disadvantage is that it could take years.

"I can help you!"I told him.

Zero looked up at me.
I saw light in his eyes.
I knew he wanted it.
I could see himself wanting to become stronger.

And so,training started...
