When You Meet:

Your meeting was brief, but it stuck with you.

You were the student of the retired Ice pillar just yesterday, and while you were running an errand for them they were attacked by a Kizuki and killed. You came back to their body, and for the second time, you were an orphan. Now with nowhere to go, you stumbled upon a cult and a man with a plastic smile who called himself their leader. You politely refused his offer to stay, only meaning to stay the night before finding your hometown to make a new life. You left the next morning with some new friendships, food and a little more money, but his false endearing smile burned itself into your mind. You vowed to meet him again when you got your life on track.

You Meet Again:

Several years passed, and you got your life together again. You went through the Final Selection in the first year, became a slayer, and got to work climbing the ranks. Now you were one of the top ranks and you had your own young orphans to care for. You were on track to becoming accepted to become the new Ice Pillar, the first one in around twenty years. Now you went back to that cult who showed you kindness, and when you met Douma again, you were saddened to know that most of your friends were gone, but you were glad to see him again. You stayed for a while before leaving, promising to keep in better touch. He seemed glad enough to see you again.

But that false smile was still there, making your heart clench uncomfortably at the sight.

You Become Friends:

After a few more meetings with each other, you felt like you were getting closer to Douma. You spent lengthy afternoons together in his inner sanctum, talking, and cool nights walking around him compound. You really felt touched by his kindness to you, although you wished you could see him express real emotion around you.

Meanwhile, Douma greatly appreciated your company. Though you were a slayer (he made sure to keep his real status away from you), you treated demons you killed with relative sympathy. The only one you couldn't forgive was the one who killed your former master (affectionately-nicknamed Iroha-sama), and he could get that. While he didn't know the identity of the one who killed them, he felt intrigued by your strong feelings. You amused him and made his days a little brighter (especially since Kotoha's death), and he liked keeping you around.

You Hang Out:

Now that you've both gotten busier, the times you hang out are few and far between. But as stated above, usually if you hang out you spend time in his inner sanctum, where he spends most of his day. If you must go out somewhere, you take strolls outside at night around the compound. You do find it kind of odd that you never go out during the day, but you let it slide, considering that Douma is pretty busy.

He Makes You Blush:

Douma smiled from behind his fan at you. You were still caught up in a fond story about one of your orphans, a young girl named Maria. Every time you talked about them you got this gleam in your eye that made his heart ache. He so wished he could feel what you felt, but resigned himself to basking in your sunlight.
