We played for a while. At least a few hours. It was really fun getting to know him, he's such a quirky person.
I know demons exist, it's why we have exorcists, but I don't really have a talent for seeing them. I never thought i'd meet one.
"Hey, Amaimon?" I looked at the demon who was currently swinging.
"Yes (Y/N)?"
"I need to go home soon, it's getting dark."
"I can see in the dark."
"But I can't." He stopped swinging and moved over to me.
"Okay. Do you want me to take you home?" Did I really want him to know where I lived?
"Um, sure."
After a short walk, I insisted we walked there, we were at my house. I had ended up really enjoying myself today, it was an odd turn of events.
"Will we ever get to hang out again? How will I contact you?" I questioned Amaimon before he had the chance to leave.
"If i'm bored, we might. I'll find you. I know your scent well enough by now."
"What if I want to talk to you but you're not bored?" I'd really like to be his friend.
"I'll be around. Don't worry (Y/N). See you." He removed a sucker stick from his mouth and threw it on my porch, before putting a new one in.
For some reason, I really wanted to give him a goodbye hug. I didn't though, cause that'd be weird.
Well, I suppose I should get some sleep now. Maybe if i'm lucky i'll get to have some nice dreams.

Amaimon! Why's he here? Where even is here? I looked at my surroundings, it wasn't a familiar place at all.
"Hey, Amaimon! It's (Y/N)." He turned to look at me, only he was different. His ears were longer and his teeth were bigger. His arms didn't look human anymore, they were too big for his body, and green with red markings. He had a long, green, reptile like tail. There were also large green horns on his head with more red markings.
Was this some kind of demon form? "Amaimon..?"
He didn't answer me, but rocks started to float. There were large rocks and small pebbles both, and he looked, hostile.

I woke up suddenly. That was a weird dream. And it was about Amaimon. Huh, weird.
I looked at the clock, it was 5:30 AM. Wow, this is a lot earlier than I usually wake up. It means i'm gonna be tired for a while, maybe a hot shower will fix that.
I headed to the bathroom, and began to undress. The tile was cold against my bare feet. I stared at myself in the full length mirror, I didn't see anything I was especially proud of.
My hair wasn't very pretty, and nothing I did made it look good. My face was even worse, it was pretty ugly. My body wasn't nice either, and I basically hated all of it.
I stopped examining myself and hopped in the shower. The steam felt good as the warm water rolled down my skin. It was refreshing and it woke me up from my sleepy daze.
After I got out it was still early, so I decided to go for a morning walk.
There was a lot of fog out, and it was a little chilly. Overall, there was a nice feeling out. That good one that you can only get in the morning.
At some point during my walk.. okay maybe the entire walk, I was thinking about Amaimon. I guess I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I had met a demon.
I liked his weird fashion choice, and his kind of stupid looking hair. He was actually really really hot...
Was I perhaps falling for this demon?
Maybe.
I was on the way back to my house when I noticed a pet store with a help wanted sign in the window. I needed to get a job pretty badly, so maybe I could work here.
It looks like they might be open. I walked over to the shop, and sure enough, they had just opened.
"Um, excuse me, can I get a job here?" As soon as I spoke a man appeared from the back room.
"Y-yes! Of course! Just um, are you good with animals?"
"I think so, you can test me if you'd like."
"Okay! Good idea!" The man rushed over to a hamster cage and pulled one out. It was green with pink eyes, and it had a spike on it's head.
Why does this remind me of Amaimon?
"Just, uh, see if this likes you. Try feeding it too." He handed the tiny animal to me, and soon I was holding it. It's little pink beads stared up at me for a moment, and then it began to nuzzle my hand.
After a moment, I put it back in the cage and gave it some food and fresh water. It didn't seem interested in the food, because it crawled onto my arm and ran into my shirt pocket.
Somehow it had managed to get the wrapper off a piece of candy I had in there. Very strange, and very familiar.
"W-wow! He really seems to like you!" The stuttering employee was absolutely amazed. "That one hates everyone!"
"Then why'd you give it to me to test with?!?" That just wasn't fair.
"Well it worked out. S-say, why don't you take that one home! You can have it for free since no one else will take it."
Hm. I don't know if I want a pet right now.
Before I could give my answer, the hamster scurried up to my shoulder and gently rubbed my neck.
"Well that's just great, here's his cage." The employee shoved a cage with a hamster wheel and food bowl into my hand. "Come back this time next week for work!"
I didn't even know what to say. I just walked out of the store, and started to head home with my new hamster.
