The Demon I Love

Chapter 3

Kyungsoo's P.O.V

"Who?" I asked Tao softly, my voice still uneasy, slightly shaky. He looked worried, as if the person might get mad.. Or as if I would get mad. I frowned slightly. "Please tell me Tao.. I- I need to know the truth.." I asked softly and looked down into my lap.

"I can't give you the full truth.. But.. I know that The King would be able to but.. I know your not ready for that. Hell im not even sure if your ready for my suggestion.." He began to ramble on into nothing that made sense and my frown deepened. "Yah." I tapped on his hand, to get him back to focus as he looked back to me. "Who?" I asked again, firm yet friendly. "Yifan.." He said softly.

My head snapped up and I stared at him.  "Are you serious?"  I questioned, swallowing thickly as my eyes drifted elsewhere as I am in thought.  Out of the corner of my eyes I see him nod.  "He is his general..  And best friend, of course he might know."  Tao explained, placing a hand on my knee.  I looked back up, my eyes meeting his.   "So..  You've..  Met him?"  I shook my head after asking the question, as I already know the answer.

"I'm not ready for that quite yet.."  I spoke softly, moving my right arm to rest my hand on top of tao's.  "I only just got my best friend back.  I not ready for all that quite yet."  I said and in turn he nodded.  "I know..  It could be.."  He paused as he thought for the correct word to use.  "Overwhelming." 

Nodding in agreement I stood up.  "I have to get to work."  I spoke and glanced at Tao.  "Come with me?"  I asked him, my eyes wavering as if unsure of asking so.  "Are you sure that's wise..?"  He asked me while standing, his head tilted only slightly. 

I shook my head.  "No..  But I'm not worried about that right now."  I replied, my eyes locking with his again.  "Follow me."  I said, turning to head towards the door, pulling it open with little effort.  I heard his footsteps behind me, my eyes traveling around. 

"So where do you work..?"  He asked me as we traveled down the sidewalk.  I pushed my hair from my eyes and gestured to a building some ways away.  "There.  I work in a Cafe."  I noticed him smile from my side and allowed myself to smile slightly.  "I open it today so there shouldn't be anyone by the time we get in."  I stated as we continued our journey. 

As we approached I found myself beginning to feel a lot better then I had recently.  I opened the door and allowed Tao to enter before me.  "Hey Tao do you want anything?"  I asked him and watched his movements.  They seemed..  Odd. 

"Oh I don't know..  It's been a while since I've been to a proper cafe."  He turned around to grin at me and sat down in on of the tabled.  "Surprise me."  He added afterwards.   I headed to the front counter, and set out to make the first cup of coffee of the day for my oldest friend.

No ones P.O.V: 

The tanned male glanced up at the taller from his seat, watching him gaze into the mirror at his front.   "So that is what young Zitao is doing there."  The tanned one had pointed out, watching as the tallers gaze had shifted to him. 

"That's okay."  The male, Jongin, had added quickly.  "That only means I will meet my love sooner."  He turned back towards the mirror after smirking up at The Dragon.  After some time of watching the mirror, a genuine smile had crossed his lips as he watched his short love. 

"I haven't seen you smile in a long time."  Yifan had pointed out as he watched Jongin.  He watched him nod and glance back up at him.  "I haven't had a reason to until I discovered my love.."  Jongin said softly, watching the male on the mirror move around in distress as he made multiple drinks at once. 

"I'm glad you have, Jongin."  Yifan said as he took a seat beside Jongin, clearly having been bored of standing for as long as he was.  Jongin merely nodded in reply. 

After they had watched them for a few minutes longer, the two had decided that it had been time to take care of some real business.  "You may check on Zitao if you would like."  Jongin spoke as he waved his hand over the mirror, the image disappearing and replaced by the reflection of the two across from it.  "I have some business I need to take care of." 

Yifan nodded.  "Thank you."  Jongin replied with a quick 'welcome' as he stood up, watching as Yifan did the same.   "And if you could Yifan- ". He began and turned towards the taller.  "Don't allow Kyungsoo to know whom you are just yet.  He doesn't know what we look like."  Jongins voice was smooth and deep, however not as deep as the taller's.  His voice always has a hint of danger behind it, along with his eyes.

"Of course."  Yifan spoke deeper, a smile crossing him.  "I wouldn't dream of it."

Tao's P.O.V

My eyes linger on Kyungsoo and a smile creeps on my face as I watch him narrow his eyes at a customer and tell him what he thinks.  Not much has changed..  I tap my fingers against the table and sip on my 5th cup of coffee.

I glance down at the ring around my finger- a dragon.  My mind wanders to Yifan, a bigger smile crossing my lips.  Someone places a hand on my table, tapping their finger against it, almost impatiently.  I glance up and see a the face of a man I've never seen before.

"May I help you..?"  I ask, making sure my voice is laced with sass as it tends to be.  He nodded and the corner of his lip quirks up into a smirk.  "How about you come with me."  He spoke in a seductive tone.  My eye twitches in irritation yet I do not object.  "This better be important."  I state and stand up, following the man outside and into an ally. 

"Now what do you-" my breath leaves my lungs as I'm shoved into the wall, a knife pressed against my neck.  I grit my teeth and attempt to move to push the man away as he attempts to undo his pants with one hand.  My eyes widen as I see Yifan appear behind the man.

I could feel the danger, and power radiating from Yifan as he grabs the man by the back of his neck, growling in anger as he throws the man into the wall behind him.  "H-hey!!  What the hell man!"  The man shouts, his hand on his shoulder and the knife laying at his side. 

Yifan tilts his head almost curiously at the man, a smirk on his lips as he raises a finger and watches the mans vision float to the finger.  Yifan moved his finger in one motion to the right, the mans head following and his neck snapping in one clean motion. 

Yifan turns his attention to me- yet not in time as I wrap my arms around his neck, hugging him and listening to him gasp in surprise, yet he places one hand on my lower back, the other moving to stoke my head.  "Hey baby."  He spoke softly into my ear.  I sigh happily and bury my face into his neck, not willing to let go of him. 

"Baby doll," his voice chuckled softly.   "I missed you."  I stated without regards to the dead man a few feet away.  He gently moved to look me in the eyes, his forehead resting against mine.  "I missed you too, love."  He gently places his lips against mine, in a kiss.  As he pulled away I grinned in delight.  "I will never get enough of that."  He smiled.

"And you'll never have to."  He spoke in between showering my face in kisses, making me feel like the most loved human being in any world.  "I can't stay long.."  I said softly and looked down after he had stopped his loving antics.  

He frowned and it was his turn to hug me.  "I know.."  He answered and perked up as a thought crossed his mind.   He stood up stright and grinned down at me.  "How about you meet me at that club later tonight?"  He pointed to a club across the street that didn't seem to be open at this moment.   "You can bring Kyungsoo with you."

I nodded in agreement.  "I'll ask him."  I said and I pressed out lips together again.   After I had finished my conversation with Yifan, we parted in a sad goodbye.

"Hey Soo?"  I asked as I stood in front of the counter, biting my bottom lip.  "Hm?"  He asked as he continues his work.  "Wanna go to a club tonight?"  I asked.  He glanced up and he grinned.  That was my answer.
