Counting The Ways

Asmo x MC

Prompt: Five things that Asmo loves about MC.

--------------------------------------------------------------

1.) Their smile.

If there was one thing Asmo would always notice about MC, it was their smile.

Asmo loved the way their smile lit up their entire face, even if it was a small smile, the way it reached their eyes and made the corners of their eyes crinkle in the cutest way.

He loved when they smiled so wide that their teeth showed, even if they thought they looked weird, he loved it, he loved how happy and relaxed they looked like that.

MC's smiles were just one of many things that Asmo cherished about them, even so, they were special, pure in a way that a demon like Asmo could never be. That made them something worth treasuring and protecting.

They also looked so pretty with a smile on their face and Asmo couldn't help but adore them.

"What are you thinking about?" There it was, that smile, right there on their face.

"Just how absolutely darling you look right now~" Asmo responded with a practiced ease.

An embarrassed blush briefly broke the smile on their face, eyes looking anywhere but at Asmo's face.

Not longer after, their smile returned, it was smaller than before, but Asmo found it just as endearing.

2.) The sparkle in their eyes.

Asmo loved having fun with MC, both in the bedroom and anywhere else.

The look they got on their face when they were having fun was something beyond bliss, closer to ecstasy, at least that's what Asmo thought.

The sparkle in their eyes captivated Asmo every time it appears, their eyes always shone a little bit brighter and it was beautiful.

Asmo could go on for hours about that little sparkle, how it made him feel just a little bit weak in the knees, how he might just do anything for them if they asked.

The first time he saw that precious little sparkle he thought he might've just been blessed.

"What do you think, MC? I look stunning, don't I?" Asmo was wearing one of Majolish's tallest pair of heels, and well, he knew he looked gorgeous, but he wasn't going to pass up the opportunity for getting a compliment from MC.
MC giggled lightly, eyes lighting up, striking Asmo silent, "You look great Asmo, you always do."

Asmo may have blushed just a little bit at that, "You should try them on too! I bet you would look marvelous!"

After a moment of convincing, and almost pleading, MC put the heels on.

A moment of hesitation, "I'm gonna fall if I stand up, I know it."

"I'll catch you~"

A sigh, then a fond smile, and then... yep, they totally fell over. But true to his word, Asmo did catch them.

"See! I told you I would fall!" MC huffed.

"I caught you though! And that just means we have to buy them so you don't fall next time~" Asmo refuted.

MC pouted, or tried to, a smile was very clearly struggling to break through the pout, and it didn't take long for it to do so, peals of laughter falling from MC's lips.

The sparkle returned to their eyes, making Asmo fall that much deeper in love.

3.) Their voice.

MC always spoke so kindly to him.

Always such sweet and loving words, softly spoken.

"Asmo, it's okay. It's okay," Silky smooth words.

"It's not okay, I look a mess!" Asmo was in an extreme state of distress.

It had started raining on their way to RAD, which had ruined Asmo's hair and makeup. How was he supposed to go to school looking like that?

"Asmo, I promise, it's okay! We'll still have ten minutes before class starts by the time we get to school, we can fix your hair and makeup, it'll be okay," MC's delicate, euphonious voice reaches his ears, bringing him down from his panic, "You've got the things you need in your bag in case of emergencies, right?"

Asmo nodded before sighing in relief, "Thank goodness, I'll be back to looking beautiful before class! MC you are an angel!"
"I'm glad you feel better," So gentle. Words, voice, smile, all so gently. Asmo loved it, "Although, I think you still look beautiful now."

Asmo might've just cried if it wouldn't ruined his look that much more.

4.) Their hands.

Contrary to their voice, MC's hands were not the softest. They were a little rough at times, calloused in some spots... but they were really really nice to hold.

People usually describe hands as being always warm or always cold, but MC's weren't exactly cold or warm, he found that they typically changed with the weather. Maybe they were a little bit on the warm side, seeing as Asmo was always overcome with a wave of heat every time he and MC held hands.

Asmo liked holding their hand, even if they were a bit reluctant to do so, claiming that their hands tended to be sweaty and it was gross.

He didn't mind, not that much, it was still worth it just to hold your hand, feel you being there with him.

He loved it when their thumb rubbed the side of his hand, or when they squeezed his hand just a bit tighter.

Asmo's hands were small and delicate, MC's were a perfect match for his, whenever they held hands it felt like two puzzle pieces coming together, like a lock and key.

It was like they were made for each other.

5.) Their sleeping face.

MC was so cute.

They looked so relaxed like this, curled up in the corner of the couch, wrapped up in a pile of blankets.

Asmo nearly cooed, they just looked so small and squishy. He would pinch their cheeks if it wouldn't wake them up. Instead he resigned himself to watching their chest rise and fall with every breath, the slight fluttering of their eyelashes when something bright was on the TV, the way they wiggled around when they got a bit too uncomfortable.

They really were too cute and Asmo loved it.

He loved seeing this side of them, being able to see them at their most vulnerable, it made him ecstatic that they trusted him enough to fall asleep beside him.

Asmo loved that they trusted him, he loved that they always treated him so kindly, he loved everything about them, but he loved these five things the most, they're what made him fall in love.

And Asmo was absolutely, without a doubt, in love with MC.
