You were laying on the bed as you were in a half asleep half awake state. You looked up at the roof as you saw that it got darker and darker for every minute that passed. It was soon night and the flame world was becoming even more darker then it usually is.
You didn't want to sleep though. Not yet. You promised you would wait for him today since he told you he would come home later. It was hard though when you felt your eyelids get heavier and heavier every minute that passed.
But you refused to sleep. You promised to wait for him. You promised that you would wait for Emalf to come home so you and him could spend some time with each other. Emalf have been pretty busy recently so he would most of the time come home very late on the nights which made you both not talk to each other so much.
You wanted to talk to him more. I mean you were his boyfriend after all so of course you wanted to communicate with the flame demon. You smiled happily at the thought. You didn't think he would actually want to be with you let alone a guy.
I mean he had told you he had a crush on a girl so you thought he was straight and since he seemed to not be interested in guys you wouldn't have guessed that he was actually bi. That was something that kind of surprised you to be honest.
Then not long after that he actually confessed he had a crush on you and that also surprised you. You didn't actually think he would ever like you but he honestly did! So of course you wanted to be with him and here you were right now, laying on his bed trying your best to not fall asleep.
You decided to come and visit him more often since you thought it would be convenient. You had seen that the flame demon didn't take care of himself all too well so you did most of the house work so he would at least come home to a tidy house.
After for what seemed like forever you finally heard a door being unlocked and opened which made you sit up quickly and walk out from the bedroom door. You smiled when you saw that Emalf was finally home. "Hello Emalf!" you said happily, walking over to him. He looked at you and you hugged him softly.
You felt him hesitate for a bit but then he returned the hug softly. He may be cocky and seems like he is confident but from what you had witnessed he was pretty insecure when it came to being in relationships. Especially towards you. It was probably because this was his first time being with a guy and angel from what you have known of.
You let go of him after some seconds and looked up to him. "How was your day?" you asked. He let out a sigh. "'effing boring, as usual..." he spoke. "Sorry to hear that..." you mumbled. "Well, i made some dinner so dig in, okay?" you said and he simply nodded. So with that you both ate with each other as you let the flame demon talk about his day and also about things that have happened these past few weeks.
He also let you talk about some things and how your god was doing. Sadly your god was not in a perfect shape as of now, making you feel a bit stressed out since you felt like you had to take control of a lot of things. Emalf saw that you were stressed out to since recently when he saw you you had bags under your eyes, a dull look inside your eyes and you looked much more paler.
"Hey, how about you sleep here for the night?" he asked, making you look up at him. "A-Are you sure?" you asked and you saw him nod. You smiled at him happily once again. "Thank you!" you beamed.
Soon night came and you both walked into his bedroom. You laid onto the bed and let out a sigh of relaxation when you felt it's soft surface under you. Emalf joined shortly after. You had turned your face so you faced the wall, knowing that the flame demon wasn't the kind of boy that cuddled much.
You heard him put his shades on the counter and he laid down now properly on the bed. Emalf narrowed his eyes towards you, making his heart thump hard against his chest. He really wanted to cuddle with you since he just wanted you to feel relaxed. All this stress you were feeling made him worried about you so he just wanted to make you relaxed. He gulped softly and let out a shaky sigh. Here goes nothing.
You suddenly felt something wrap itself around your waist, making you open your eyes and look down only to see a familiar scaled red hand around you. You also felt his body getting closer to you.
You soon also felt that he used his other hand to run it's fingers through your hair, making him feel your body relax by his touch. You smiled at this and let out a relaxed sigh once again, making the demon feel slight happiness inside him.
"Is this okay...?" you spoke, making the demon perk up. "Yeah, it's fine" he responded as he continued to play with your hair softly. Much to your surprise his scaled hands was not uncomfortable at all. They actually felt kind of nice. Well, he was really careful though which you could tell.
He suddenly saw you turn around and you buried your face against his chest. He looked at you with a bit of surprise until he finally wrapped his arms around you and once again let his other hand run through your hair while his other hand gently rubbed your back.
And just like that you both fell asleep, holding each other happily~
