[Discontinued] A Demon's Cry | Yandere!Demon x Female!Reader

Prologue

"Are you real..?" A young girl, the age of 8, asked a mysterious figure that was towering over her. Not showing any fear, she reached and tried to touch the creature. The figure immediately teleported away from her touch, fearful as to harm the child. 

"I am very real.." A deep voice replied, trying not to scare the young child. The little girl gasped and smiled, "Will you be my friend?" She asked, looking around for the figure and spotting it in her closet. She skipped over to the shadow and stood in front of it, waiting for it's reply. The figure, relaxed a little, and touched the girl's soft hair. "I am always your friend, (Y/n) (L/n).." the shadow said, removing its hand from (Y/n)'s hair.

(Y/n) looked at the figure, wondering how it knew her name. The figure, reading her mind, replied "I know everything about you.. since we are friends after all.." It said, carefully placing its words. The child, not looking deeper into his sentence, smiled. "May I know your name then?" She asked with big bright eyes.

"Hotaru. Just Hotaru.." (Y/n) giggled and hugged her new found friend, Hotaru just stared at the girl, knowing that she.. was his.. and his alone.

A 10 year old (Y/n) slammed open the door to her room, immediately jumping into her bed, sobbing. Hotaru, not knowing what to do, sat on the bed a petted the girl, trying to find some way to comfort her. The girl hugged Hotaru, crying into his chest. "T-they won't believe me!" the girl yelled, Hotaru's clothing muffling her voice. "Who won't believe you..?" He said, already knowing what happened.

"People won't believe that you're real! They say that it's just a figment of my imagination!" The girl cried once more, clinging onto Hotaru. The said demon, knowing just what to say, rubbed the girls back and said, "Who cares if they don't believe you? You know that I'm real and that's all you need."
(Y/n) sniffled, looking up into Hotaru's eyes and nodded while smiling at the demon.

A calm 14 year old (Y/n) walked into her room, sitting at her desk getting ready to do her homework. Hotaru, surprised that she didn't greet him, walked up behind her and hugged the girl. (Y/n), sighing, she pushed his arms away, completely ignoring him. 

The demon, confused by her actions poked her cheek repeatedly. "Hotaru.." (Y/n) said gently, catching the demon's attention. She sighed once more. "Hotaru isn't real.. he's just a figment of my imagination.." she whispered to herself as she continued to scribble notes. Hotaru, saddened by her words, silently and swiftly moved to the closet, infuriated at the girl's actions.

She will regret ever saying that. She will regret pushing him aside. She will regret not loving him.
