We sat down at my tiny round coffee table with plastic plates stacked high with Eggos. I took the first bite, it tasted like literal HEAVEN. Yang watched me as I ate, taking a few slow bites every couple of minutes.
"So," he said, "You told me... something... last night."
"Mhmm," I said with a mouth full of chocolate heaven.
"Do you remember it?"
"Nophf"
"You said... you aren't a virgin and..."
Oh god.
Oh god.
Did I actually tell him?
Let go of me!
I was back in the fear of the moment, my breathing quickened.
Not today, pretty boy.
I could feel his weight on me, I dropped my fork
Y-you're hurting me! Stop!!
Yang said something, but I couldn't hear a thing.
Aw come on, I'm just having some fun.
I felt warmth around me and heard something in my ear.
It was Yang, it took me a while to notice but he was hugging me and... praying?
And I was crying, crying like the stupid little baby I am.
And Yang was praying, I didn't know he religious. He's a literal demon after all. I took a few deep breaths and nestled close to him, he felt so warm...
"Are you alright?" Yang said. He sounded a little scared.
"Y-Yeah... I just gotta b-breathe..."
"I'm sorry"
"It's o-"
"I'm sorry."
"Y-Yang really it's-"
"I'm so so so so so so so so so sorry"
"Aw Y. Wait, can I call you Y?"
"Only if I can call you Yu"
That's how we got our pet names.

A few days after that incident, I texted Yang to see if he wanted to get some coffee with me.
Y: Sorry, can't.
Me: Why?
Y: I'm at an art show in Tokyo, they accepted me by some grace of God.
Me: Wow! That's really cool Y :-)
