Tell me Something - Third Day/Third Night

So, lately, I've been having issues with my life, but I promise I will try and get these out faster! 

So I hope you're ready for the second Arc to start, this is where we get into the Meat and potatoes! And what better way to start off this arc than with more backstories?? :DD and some more explanations of how demons work of course! So this chapter is longer than normal :)

Uruha POV

Why did he do that... Why did he give me his name? Was it for some intense reason that he tricked me into? I hope not... Otherwise I'll have to find a good reason to hit him in the face.

It had been a long day so far. Aoi.. Or, I mean, Yuu, and I met the other demon that came to our world when he broke that seal, and to say that I was nervous is an understatement. He was still on the Second floor, where we found him wandering around wondering where he was. He saw us and immediately gravitated towards us. 

He was kind of on the short side, but had corded muscle all over his arms and was covered in many tattoos like Aoi, except his were human made and not demonic. His demonic Mark, however, was on the back of his neck, disguised as an eye tattoo. The brunette hair framing his face was short enough to show it off.

Yet it was strange to see how he acted. Despite being a demon, he reminded me a lot of Kai. A cheerful disposition under a frightening face. But maybe that was just his human personality bleeding through the demon one. 

His name was Tsuzuku, and he was young, having come here for some kind of disability in his brain. But now that he was a demon that must have died away. If only it worked that way for humans. 

Despite that though, he still seemed unusually cheerful for his position and new body. And when he learned we were the ones who brought him here, he was thanking Aoi like crazy and smiling all the while. His voice is raspy, as though unused for a long time. 

Aoi decides to leave and takes him to the fourth floor and doesn't stick around long enough to know if he got along with Shinya or not. What was he in a rush for? To find more seals?

"Are you sure we should just leave them there?" I asked him as he dragged me back downstairs. "What if they get in a fight?"

With a roll of his shoulders, he seems less than convinced that anything will happen. 

"He's a seventh level, Kou. Seventh levels get along because they're the weakest. Numbers give them strength. Of course they will be fine, don't worry. We have more matters to deal with right now."

"Those being..?" 

The entire first floor was as deserted as ever, and that seemed to work in his favor. 

"I want to take a walk," he answered. "I still want to tell you some things."

"Some things? Does any of it involve me?"

His smile is coy, and I can tell he's deciding on whether or not to tell me. 

"Come on, we can go outside today. I feel like walking towards the pond in front of the building."

Oh dear, he was in another one of his wistful thinking moods. And when that happens... Well, I can expect he'll want to chatter my ear off. But I guess it's better than trying to suck my face off like he did at first. Which was still annoying, but... I know why he was doing it now. He can't help it, and if this keeps on, I won't be able to either.

Lately, I've been feeling... a weird shift in my body patterns lately. Like every time he was here with me, be it beside me or even in a nearby proximity, all o wanted was to... not stray far. Like he was a magnet and I was a hunk of squishy fleshy metal. Kind of a disgusting metaphor but it was all I could think of.
