Sunsets

II

My thoughts ran around my head as I slipped into the tub I use as a bed. I pull my thin blanket over my face as I think about what (y/n) said.

"Levi, did you see the colors too?"

Yes. I did. I saw the colors that are so bright when you're around. The colors that I'm still not used to seeing when I wake up. I saw them too (y/n).

My face heats up as I remember the conversation I had a few days ago. I haven't seen her since. She's supposed to be my soulmate isn't she? I should talk to her today. As I go to get up to find her, I hear a knock at my door.

"Levi are you in there?" She asks through the door.

I quickly open the door and check the hall to make sure no one is out there before pulling her in. Can't be seen with a normie. Even if she's not as much of a normie as I thought. "I was just about to go look for you." I say looking at the ceiling, then back down at her. "Thanks for making it easier to find you."

She smiles. "Of course. Did you have something you wanted to talk to me about?"

My eyes widen at her question as I realize, I didn't come up with an excuse. "Gah, uh, no. I mean, yes. I mean, uhhh..." My face turns red and she giggles at my flustered state.

"Well I wanted to talk to you, Leviathan." She said.

The sound of my full name being said my anyone besides my brothers was different. "Y-you wanted to talk t-to me? But I'm just a worthless o-otaku." I stutter out.

"I disagree." She sits on the lip of my tub watching Henry swim around in his tank.

This is unfair. How is she so comfortable around me. We just met like less than a week ago. "Uh, what did you wanna, uhm, talk about (y/n)?"

She turns around to face me, a soft smile playing on her lips. "Ahaha, excuse me, I'm not usually very good at talking. I heard from lucifer that you aren't fond of it either, so I brought you something." She walks towards me slowly, pulling something out of the pocket of her hoodie. An envelope. She hands it to me and i see my name on the front in loopy handwriting.

And just like that, she was gone.

•••

I shoot out of my bedtub (hehe) later that night trying to catch my breath. After binging all of The Magical Ruri Hanai: Demon Girl for only the 80 millionth time last night, the first time ever for me in color, I guess I didn't sleep too well. Asmo's words ring in my ears, "it's not healthy to stay up all night. It's bad for your skin too." I've never been affected by my lack of sleep before.

As my breathing calms down, the envelope I got from (y/n) catches my attention. I crawl out of my tub and stumble over to my desk, falling into my gaming chair. I stare and the loopy lettering that spells out my name.
Leviathan

My full name. I'm not used to anyone but lucifer calling me that. My thoughts stray to when she said my name yesterday, the syllables rolling off her tongue, sounding as smooth as Ruri-Chan's pigtails. Leviathan. I slip a TSL dvd into my console before I walk back to my tub, tearing the end of the envelope open with a fingernail. Switching into my demon form, I settle in, wrapping my tail around myself, and pull out a letter. She wrote me a letter?

I stare at the folded paper in my hands, dumbfounded as to why she would write me, a stupid, worthless, otaku shut-in, a letter.

Leviathan,
You don't know me. Not yet at least, but I know we'll get to know each other. Yeah sure it's kinda cheesy and probably weird to you that I'm writing a love letter to a guy I don't even know, but when I saw you for the first time, my entire world lit up. I'm still not used to all the color I've been seeing. Lucifers eyes, the most stunning red color, Satan's hair, a vibrant golden yellow, and you. You and your red face whenever we make eye contact and the blueish purple hair that almost hides your eyes completely. I'm a stranger to you, but you feel so unstrange to me. I get that a love letter from a stranger is probably weird, but that's not the only reason I'm writing this. I know you don't like to leave your room much, I've heard a lot about you from your brothers, so we don't have to go anywhere if you don't want to, but I would like to invite you to a picnic of sorts. Nothing fancy, just some sandwiches and drinks. I wanna hear more about you from you. You have my number I'm sure, so if it's better for you, you can text me, but also feel free to come to my room. I await to hear your response. Lmao, who says await. Let me know what you think of my idea.

(Y/n)

Loosening my tail, I get up to grab my d.d.d. looking for her contact name. Where is it? I thought I put it in here... crap. I forgot to when she came to talk to me. Returning to the messages from Lucifer I find her number and save it. As i type out my message I think about the words written at the end of her letter. Feel free to come to my room. I feel myself blush as I think about what lies behind the door to her room. A bed where she can sleep, a place for all the clothes Asmo went and got with her after she arrived. A girl who filled my life with color after I had lost hope in ever seeing it.

Suddenly I find myself at her door. Looking at her sleepy gaze as she tries to figure out why someone would want her in the middle of the night.

"Oh, Levi, *yawn*, it's you," she looks at me, more alert but still visibly confused.

"I accept your invitation," I say looking at her with certainty, "but can we have it in my room, I don't want my brothers to see me with a normie." I finish, scratching the back of my neck again.

"That's uh, okay we can, uhm..." she stares at me

"What is there something on me? Is it a bUG?!" I jump around stupidly trying to get the imaginary bug off, when my tail flashes in my peripheral.

Oh no.
