The Star's Demon

Chapter 8

I groaned sleepily as I cuddled into his chest.  I smiled feeling his warmth against me. He was back home, he was safe, he was with me.

    "Aimasu." I whispered to him only half awake. He hugged me to him and nuzzled my hair. I laughed a bit cause it tickled and snuggled into his chest.

    "I'm sorry if I hurt you last night..." I heard him mumble.

    I shook my head. "You didn't I'm just tired." I told him.

    He slowly nodded and kissed my cheek. "You're my goddess." He told me.

    "And you're my god." I told him.

    "You wanna get up or go back to sleep?" he asked as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

    "Hmmmm, tough decision." I said resting my hands on his chest.

"And up we go." he said playfully before rolling us both into floor.

We had landed with him on his back, and me laying on top of him.

"Pft hahaha! How you doin' down there?" I laughed.

"I'm doing quite well, how are you doing?" he asked cooly.

"Quite well indeed." I answered before kissing him.

"Mmm, we need to get up." he said after pulling away from the kiss.

"Yeah, I guess so." I said kinda dreamily.
He sat up which made me slide into his lap. He smiled at me and picked me up as he stood, and took us downstairs.

He gently put me down in the dining room and kissed me on the cheek. What happened next was to be anticipated from the night before. I heard two people tapping their feet impatiently.

"Heeeeey." Grayson nervously greeted as we turned around.

"Hey guys, what's up?" I awkwardly asked the boys.

They walked up and grabbed Grayson by the collar, and drug him out to the porch. I quietly followed and tried to listen through the door, but was unsuccessful.

After a few minutes they came back in.

Riley looked my up and down and said: "Sis, you might want to put a shirt on."

I simply folded my arms and replied with: "So you two can run around shirtless, and I can't run around in a shorts bra that is crop top length?"

He stood there a moment trying to formulate a response.

"That's fair." he said before walking off with Bryan.

"So, what did you guys talk about?" I asked stepping closer to Grayson.

"They basically made me swear never to leave." He told me rubbing the back of his neck.

"What else did they say?" I asked.

"I also can't leave the house without you or your permission, I can't talk against you, and many more related." He said a bit nervously. He almost seemed jittery.

"Basically, nothing that could remotely hurt me. Well," I said stepping closer and holding his hands, "that shouldn't be too much of of a problem, will it?"

"Not at all. I would do nothing to hurt you." he said gently. I smiled at him and swung our hands back and forth.

I began to think about what had happened just a few days before. How I had hurt him... I felt absolutely awful. I still do.

"I'm terribly sorry that I stabbed you..." I said as I hugged him tightly.

"It's fine... You saved me from my brother! At least for now..." He said to me as he stroked my hair.
