My Inner Demons Asch x Reader

Chapter 8.

Y/n pov: 

All of us walked to Ava's favorite pizza place. Dad and Pop walked in and talked to the host. Me, Ava, Noi, and Asch were waiting outside. On the way here, I made sure that Asch knew what is going to happen, what to do, what to say, and how to act while we were walking. I just hope Ava did the same for Noi. 

"Should we be doing what they're doing?" Asch asked. I looked to where he was looking and saw Ava and Noi holding hands, both of them looking like tomatoes. "Uhm, maybe? I mean, I guess it will make us look believable?" I said, more as a question than a statement. I looked down in embarrassment as I grabbed Asch's hand. 

I looked up at him and saw that he was blushing more than I've ever seen anyone. "Why the hell are you blushing!" I said, feeling my face heat up. "Because you put some kind of spell on me, human sorcerer! What did you do?!" Asch said looking angry and flustered which only made his face redder. 

"I didn't do anything!" Suddenly, I heard the door of the restaurant open and looked to see Dad and Pop walk out and start gawking over Ava and Noi. "Just tone it down a bit, will ya?" I whispered to Asch as I tried to do the best I could to do the same. 

"Aww look! They're holding hands too!" Pop said with stars in his eyes. Yeah, the blushing isn't going away anytime soon. I grumbled internally. Dad and Pop led us through the doors of the restaurant and the host led us to a table with six seats, to which we all took our seats. I sat in between Ava and Asch because I wanted the least bit of attention I could get. 

"Just let me do the talking and don't eat before our parents. It's just gonna be a bit of small talk anyways. Got it?" I whispered over to Asch. He nodded in understanding, looking down at me, still blushing slightly and looking a bit panicked. 

"So, Noi and Asch was it?" Pop started. "How did you know?" Noi gaped, clearly astonished for some reason while Asch just raised a brow, looking confused. "Ava and Y/n mentioned your names back at the apartment." Dad laughed. "Oh uhm, yeah." Asch said. 

Wait, was Asch being polite just then?! Nah there's no way! He was just being nice. Wait, nice?! I said in my head. I looked over at Asch who looked extremely nervous and red. "Yeah, we uh, we did." Ava laughed nervously, giving me a side glance. "Trust me, I listen to things closely." Pop said. "We both listen closely. The only difference is that Devon will bring it up three weeks later when you don't wash the dishes." Dad said with a small eye roll. 

"How hard is it to put em' in the dishwasher?" Pop rushed out before clearing his throat. "Sorry, back to the conversation." I looked down and chuckled to myself a bit before looking back up, feeling like someone was staring at me. "I did want to ask, how did you meet our sweet babies?" Pop said, going back to the original conversation. 

Meanwhile, all I could do was sweatdrop and blurt out the first thing that came to mind, that being, "Uh, me and Asch actually met through Ava and Noi. How did you guys meet again?" I asked, accidentally putting more preasure on Ava, earning me a glare from her. I glanced at her apologetically, trying to think of a way to get us out of this situation. Until Noi spoke up. 

"Oh, well you see, I met Sorceress Ava in the back of her home where noone could see us-" he was cut off when Ava slapped her hand over his mouth and Asch pinching his side behind me and Ava's backs. "Oh, whoops, you got some pizza on you." Ava laughed nervously, trying to justify her actions. 

"But, we haven't even gotten the pizza." Dad said, raising a brow at her. "Oh, god I'm so hungry I didn't realize." This is going to go horribly wrong and I know it. "So uh, we met at the, arcade...dance." Here it is. Lord, thank you for dying for our sins, but it looks like you missed one. "The arcade dance?"
