The Monster in my Bed

• Roommate •

Work was growing more irritating the more I went. My ex-bff was giving me strange looks the entire time. She acted as if she didn't want to talk to me and I became very tempted to go up to her and see what the problem is. However, I kept my peace and finished working.

I was finally coming home and ready to relax. When pulling up to my apartment and going inside, I entered in on something I did not expect to find. Dark had just finished showering.

"Oh wow-" I chirped, my eyes widened as I flinched back a bit before covering my eyes and walking in the opposite direction.
A heated blush spread across my face as I made my way into my room.

"Hello, sweets, is something the matter?" He asked with an innocent yet sinister undertone.

"N-no..." I muttered whilst settling into my home, putting my belongings away into there designated places.
"...I- I didn't think it was necessary for you to shower-" I spoke, however, stumbled on my words once my eyes landed upon his smooth defined abs that were damp. Water dripping sensually from the stringy wet hair dangling in front of his dark alluring eyes. His pecs decorated with a few scars and also glistening from the wetness of his shower.

"U-uhm~" I mumbled and he cocked his head to the side, giving me a concerned look.

"W-well-" he started as he began to walk pass me and continue getting dressed.
"I don't really need to shower, however, it really helps me feel relaxed." He explained, dropping his tower from around his waist. I spun around shocked, not wanting to see his genitals so soon. I blushed madly, waiting for him to dress up.

Once I turned back around a few minutes later, assuming he was finished, he was just pulling his black shirt over his head and down his chest. He looked so buff, something I didn't notice before, but now I could see that he indeed has a nice body.

Wait what!?

I shook my head from the humiliating thought.

"Why thank you, princess. Only the best for you~" he spoke suddenly, with a deep lustful tone.
I blushed even hotter, my jaw dropped as I glared at him.

"What did I say about reading my mind, prick!" I squealed and he just smirked, getting used to my ways by now.

I giggled inwardly as I turned to go make myself a snack.

I made some cheese crackers. I don't really eat much, but this is usually one of my favorite snacks. I made a little extra just in case Dark wanted some.

I can't believe I'm already accepting this... whatever he is.

I sat on the edge of my bed, and clicked on the TV. Dark was on the other end of my bed using his phone. However, it wasn't just some cell phone, it was some weird intergalactic device.

What the fuck is that?

"It's none of your concern, sweetheart." He calm stated, reading my thoughts again.

I rolled my eyes as I picked up a cracker and began munching.
I lightly pushed the plate towards him, offering.
"Would you like some?" I asked and he thought about it for a second.
"Ahh- sure." He grabbed one off the plate shoving it in his mouth.

I watched him chew, looking for approval.
After he swallowed, I decided to ask.
"You like em?"

"Mmh- yummy." He replied and I giggled, outwardly this time. For some reason that sick feeling I used to have was slowly but surely fading away, and being replaced with a warm feeling, whenever I'm around him.

We both settled in our spots and watched TV as we ate our snack together.

Later that night, it was time to rest. I have work early that morning, so I took it upon myself to shower and get my things ready for tomorrow before going to bed.

Dark just ominously sat on my bed, minding his business. He had an odd look on his face as if something was troubling him.

"What you thinking about, demon?" I asked and he just snapped his face up to look at me, surprised.
"Oh no. Nothing." He lied.

I rolled my eyes as I picked up my pajamas and made my way to the bathroom. I threw my gown over my head. I couldn't help but think about him. What was he thinking? I wish I could read minds in this moment. There are so many things he is hiding from me. It's unsettling. After I finished my business, I made my way back out to where he resided.

"Hey, sweets?" His voice broke my train of thought. I turned my attention to him and he took that as his cue to speak.
"Have you had the pleasure of finding a new place yet?" He asked with concern. We need to work on his slang.

"I have actually. I've seen some two bedroom apartments that we-" I stopped in the midst of my sentence when noticing his eyebrow arch at what I said.

"-can live in- That is if you want to, of course!" I clarified and he just let out a soft snicker.

"That would be great." He spoke with a hint of a smile. He hardly ever smiles.

"So it's actually pretty expensive for me, but I'm willing to live there, if you are. But you may have to get a job and pay for the rent as well." I explained, swinging my laptop and showing him the prices.

"No need, sweets." He replied before balling his hand into a fist and a smoky black could bursted from his fist. Upon opening his palm, my eyes shot open in pure shock.

He was carrying a wad of fresh cash in his palm.
I almost fell out of my chair at the sight.
"Wh-what the fuck~" I stuttered as I backed away from him.

"Relax, beautiful. It's an ancient custom from my world. You wouldn't understand." He explained as he pocketed the cash.

I shook my head in disbelief.
"I was just forgetting about your other world or whatever." I sighed, the fear of not knowing what this guy is, settling back into my bones.

"In due time you will find out. Remember why I am here, princess." He spoke softly as I tried gathering my composure. That's when it came to me. Ever since, he first showed up, he has been relentlessly asking me to marry him and come back to his void world with him.

I gulped as I began to realize all over again that what I was dealing with is no joke. It snapped me back to reality, the fact that this being wants me and is hoping to take me away from Earth to God knows where.

"It's fine if you hadn't made up your mind yet. I understand it must be hard to comprehend a sudden change like that." He broke the silence. I just nodded, feeling very uneasy again, that sick feeling coming back for just a few seconds.

"You know what-" I spoke up, attempting to change the subject, "I should go get going to work."
I grabbed my belongings and made my way to my way to the front door.
"Don't do anything crazy, demon!" I scolded and he just scoffed at me.

"I'll try not to."
