Inner Demons 》 BNHA

Chapter 15

Kitsune bounced along to the music.

She was trying her best to keep calm, and somehow it was working.

Grayson was drunk, and Antony took it upon himself to watch over him. Right then they were in one corner of the warehouse. Grayson was holding on to Antony, trying to dance while blabbering on about how much he loved him.

Ravan went off into the crowd to get Kitsune a soda.

Something rubbed against Kitsune's side, startling her.

An all too familiar demon snuggled into her side.

"Hey Dark Shadow!", Kitsune said. She looked up into a pair of red eyes.
"Hey Toko-chan."

He gave her a little wave. "Hey Kousaki."

"Nice t-shirt", she said, pointing at his raven graphic tee.

"Your outfit is pleasant as well."

She smirked at him playfully. "What's the dark Tokoyami doing at a party?"

He exhaled pitifully. "I was dragged here by my classmates. Kaminari mostly."

"Where is he now?"

"Playing a drinking game with Ashido. They aren't of legal age, so I don't condone it, but who am I to ruin their entertainment? Besides, Iida is steadily yelling at them."

"Wow."

"Indeed. It's a mad bouquet of drinking over there."

Kitsune lightly punched his arm. "Well I'm glad you're here with me."

"Me too", Tokoyami said, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly.

Kitsune's eyes widened. "Did I just see you smile?"

Tokoyami tried playing it off.

"Kousaki!"

The two turned as Sero jogged up to them.

"Kousaki", the tall boy said, "I have a lot of money on the line for a bet and I need you to do something."

"What is it?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I need you to kiss me!"

"What?!", Tokoyami and Kitsune asked in unison.

Sero chuckled nervously. "I made a bet that I can get a random girl to kiss me, so please!"

What was this feeling?

Kitsune hesitantly agreed, and pressed her lips against Sero's.

Why was his chest tightening?

What is this feeling??

Watching her kiss Sero was...

Upsetting.

But why was it so upsetting?

"Thank you!", Sero said when he pulled away. He flashed her a grin. "I owe you, Kousaki!"

As Sero jogged back through the crowd, Kitsune turned back to Tokoyami.

"Are you okay?", she asked suddenly.

"Yes I am. Why do you ask?"

"Your fists are clenched."

Tokoyami looked down at his hands, uncurling his fists.

"Are you sure you're okay?", she asked, stepping closer to him.

He took a step back. "I'm fine", he assured.

Her face softened. Tokoyami felt his chest tighten again.

"What are you doing to me?", he asked under his breath.

"What?"

"I was talking to myself, I apologize."

Ravan suddenly appeared with a red cup in his hand, handing it to Kitsune.
"Do you want to go dance?", he asked her.

She looked back at Tokoyami.

"Go ahead", the dark boy said.

Ravan slipped an arm around her waist and pulled her away.

"Excuse us", he said slyly.

Tokoyami wanted to follow after her. It felt wrong all of a sudden to be apart from her.

He hated this feeling.
