long night

We came home eventually

"well I guess its time for me to go" I stopped when we were close to their house

I decided to escort them back after the festival, after all, Yumika is now my food source so I need to come here anyway, while she sleeps I'll eat I'm rather hungry right now also

"ah, are you sure?" Hana asked and then continued "its rather late, we have spare futons if you'd like" she finished

"while I would love to stay I rather sleep at my home, I just feel more comfortable in my own bed" I smiled awkwardly at her feeling guilty to refuse her kindness

"no! I insist!" she looked at me with a hard look and continued "in the morning you can go and explain to your parents" she closed her eyes and walked inside

""…"" me and Yumiko slowly looked at eachother

She seemed like she wanted to say something but I don't really care for her thanks… I did it for Hana anyway, I walked inside and heard her walk too after a couple seconds of standing in the same place

'don't get attached, its already dangerous for them just knowing me' I unconsciously pushed them away 'master Muzan will eventually visit considering my rapid growth in power' my face hardend at the thought of my 'master'

(time skip)

"…why are we sleeping in the same room" I looked at Hana deadpanned

"this is the only room we have aside from mine, and I won't allow you to sleep in the living room" she closed her eyes while smiling a little "so you will have to sleep here for the night" she narrowly opened her eyes and smiled at me smugly "is there a problem?"

'… this old lady sure knows what she is doing' I smiled warily at her

"than its settled" she walked out of the sliding door of the room and closed it while saying "good night~"

"…U-um, I'll go wash off first, do you want to shower after me?" she looked at me awkwardly smiling knowing exactly what her grandma just hinted at

"no, demons don't really sweat" we looked at each other for a second

She seemed like she had enough eye contact for today and then fast walked out of the door

I looked around the room and looked at the two futons that are in either side of the room, there was one window in the room at the side of my futon

'I think I'll go fetch my sword for clean cuts of meat' I than jumped out the window and ran from roof to roof, I memorized this side of the town at least

(time skip)

Yumiko returned with her sleepwear and slightly wet and scented hair and she noticed me sitting in one of the corners of the room with my back to the window wall, and of course I closed the curtains to be able to stay here even after the sun came up

"why aren't you in your futon?" she asked while closing the door behind her and walked to her own futon

"demons don't sleep" I answered unemotionally

"that's it!" she turned to look at me with an angry look "what is it with you?!, why do your moods change so fast! One time you are happy and friendly and a second later you are acting distant! Why are you acting like that!" she furrowed her eyes at me

"…" I clenched my teeth at her audacity of getting angry at me for trying to protect them

"answer me! Is it something I did?" she had the audacity "is it because I asked if you were huma-"

I stood up sharply and she flinched back a little

"I'm sick and tired of you acting like we are friends" I said calmly while walking slowly towards her while returning my demonic features, she slowly backed away too "to me you are nothing but food, a livestock" I said with sharp pain shooting through me with every word I said

Her back eventually bumped into the wall behind her and I towered over her with my height

"don't act like you know me" I said lowly while shooting my most menacing stare I could do at her

The look on her face hurt me, it was one of fear, she had tears in her eyes and her pupils shook in fright, that was sort of a wake up call for me, I now realized that all the talking and getting to know eachother were destroyed just because of my outbreak, my eyes widened a little when I realized it and slowly turned away

I walked to where I once sat slowly while hearing her slowly slide her back on the wall and finally sitting on the floor with a thump

I wanted to apologize, but I couldn't, I wouldn't admit it but it was my fragile stupid pride,

*thump* I sat in the corner with a thump and refused to look her in the eyes, I don't want to see her fear or contempt towards me

'UGHH I'M SO STUPID' I thought when I heard her getting into her futon, she turned to the other side and with my hearing I can tell she is stopping herself from crying

(time skip)

…the night is very silent…

I prepared an excuse to Hana about me having a skin disease that makes me very sensitive to sunlight…

…I looked at the figure of Yumiko which is washed with moonlight

'…she is asleep' I concluded from her breathing and slowed heartbeat

I stood up silently to not wake her up and walked towards her and towered over her

'she doesn't deserve the way I treat her' I grimaced remembering the way I talked to her and the face she showed me

I crouched down while thinking about trying to upgrade one of my spells, and touched her as lightly as I can on the shoulder

'[BDA: ideal insensitivity III]!' this spell shuts off a sense for 10 minuets so I tripled its effect to three senses at once, I turned off her touch/pain, smell and hearing

'I really don't want her to wake up seeing me eating her hand' I grimaced on the picture in my mind

*shiiiing* I slowly drew my grey Nichirin katana as to not wake her up even though I knew she wouldn't hear it

'*sigh* never thought I would not enjoy eating' I thought while thinking about how the thought of human meat doesn't appetize me after today

I wanted to make a realistic relationship, and sometimes once people get close enough the other person will instinctively push them away, 90% of the time we hurt those who are close to us I wanted to convey it here

it also shows how troubled and worn out mentally he is about his situation and how scared he is of Muzan

how was it? good? bad?
