Hide And Seek...

δύο

You looked at the man nervous that you were now alone with him. You gulped slightly to try to remove the knot that had formed in your throat, and looked down at your fisted hands on your lap to break the stare you had on him. Lost in your thoughts his voice pierced the silence, "Come closer,.." You looked up to see his kaleidoscopic eyes meeting yours. He patted the pillows besides him with his left hand clearly wanting you to come closer. It took you a second to realize but you stood up fast as you did and walked towards the male. Your steps were small and short, you could feel his stare even though you didn't look at him. He eyed the kimono that you had been given by the two girls which you had changed into before coming here. It was a light golden color with white lotus flowers embroidered on the bottom following up the edge up to the obi, and some on the sleeves. He was rather pleased at the sight, the dress fit You well. Once You came close enough you sat down onto the throne of pillows besides him. He moved slightly to adjust his view, so he could see you clearly. Smiling widely at you admiring the beautiful human in front of him. You turned your face downwards not sure what to expect, you had of-course eyed him as well on your way over to him. Getting a closer look on his features and what he was wearing. A red kimono with black fabric in a pattern that seemed like blood dripping down his shoulders, you also noticed his nails being rather long and glazed in a light blue color. His beautiful eyes with an array of rainbow pastel colors never leaving your body. Having now sat down besides him You could feel the gentle touch of his slender fingers grab a few strands of your hair, You turned to look at him. "What a beautiful color. You take really good care of your hair. " He said still holding onto your soft locks. Feeling your cheeks heat up you were now staring at him awaiting for his next words, or were you expecting a 'move'?

He smiled at your mesmerized look and tilted his head, "Tell me about yourself Y/N, I'd like to know more about my new follower" He said leaning his back to the pillows behind him getting comfortable, meaning he intended to have you here a while. You took a deep breath before relaxing and closing your eyes. You started to tell about you running away from Ume and you were very surprised Douma knew her, you continued with telling him small fractions of your life. "What about you Douma?" You asked genuinely curious about the mans life, he simply frowned a little surprised you asked him something. "Ah sorry i didn't mean to, I just uh.." Seeing his reaction you were scared you had done something wrong. "Theres not much to tell," he mumbled looking down amused at her question. He never thought you'd ask about him and it made him even more intrigued on getting to keep you here. You nodded feeling relieved that he wasn't angry and continued keeping the conversation one-sided on you. You had talked for a long time and were starting to feel your eyes get heavier by the second. Douma realized you were probably getting tired and stood up holding his hand down to you. You watched as he left his seat besides you and reached his hand down to you. He smiled waiting fot you to take his hand while speaking up. "You seem to be getting tired, I'll escort you to your room." He said kindly and you reached out placing your hand in his, he dragged you up to him and you blushed at the contact when feeling yourself against his chest. Starting to walk your thoughts wandered off to how Douma didn't seem tired at all, and it was late so you found this strange. The moon was placed high onto the night sky and it was filled with stars. You glanced out and slowly stopped walking, that caught Douma's attention and he stopped as well. 'How beautiful it is here..' You thought as you were taken aback with the garden scenery being illuminated by the moonlight. "Whats wrong?" he asked turning around to look at you. Snapping out of the thoughts that had made you stop you walked up to him apologizing and seeing him smile softly at you made your heart skip a beat. "N-Nothing.. I just got lost in my thoughts." You said watching him close in on you. Staring down at you his hand moved up to your chin, grazing the soft skin before his nail slightly scraped your cheek lightly. Blushing at the contact you couldn't help but stare up into his kaleidoscopic eyes. The moon lighting up the two of you and the halls slightly illuminated by the cold light. He then moved his hand down grabbing your's wrapping it around his own holding you close, arm in arm. " It's nice here isn't it?." He spoke making conversation while continuing to walk. You did the same and followed, nodding at him you looked down. It was like he had just read your thoughts from earlier stopping to take in the view. "It's more peaceful... At the Red Light District it was always noisy at night.. So it really is nice." You said smiling to yourself. He put a finger up to his lips and sighed, " Yeah, I remember it being quite a ruckus whenever I stayed there. Humans can be so annoying" He said giving an annoyed expression. You looked up at him wondering what he had been doing at the Red Light District, but once he stopped you realized you were at the room you had woken up in. He moved away from you sliding the door open, and you could feel the warmth of his arm leaving your side. Giving him a slight sad look not wanting to part ways, but fast changing it to a smile as he turned to look at you. "If there is anything you need my followers will be in the rooms down the hall, and you can always come to me my dear." He said placing a hand on your back. You walked into the room feeling him lightly guide you in with his hand, turning yourself around his hand left your back. "Thank you for letting me stay, you are a very generous man." You told him as you gave a soft smile to the male. He smiled back reassuring you it was no trouble. "Stay as long as you'd like!" He said happily. You closed the door and walked over to te bed sitting down. You could hear Douma's steps going down the hall again towards his room.
"Stay forever, Y/N:" He mumbled to himself while making his way through the illuminated hallway.
