"so?" yuta raised a brow. "have you asked him out yet?"

"no..." jaehyun replied with a long sigh.

"what are you waiting for?!" yuta exclaimed. "you two are in love! it hurts to see you turning around each other without actually doing something!"

"yuta, if ever he came to like me, we wouldn't be able to get together because of his parents and the realms' situation." jaehyun answered, obviously annoyed by yuta's hyperactive behaviour.

yuta rolled his eyes, sitting on the bed next to jaehyun.

"why did we kidnap him for, stupid?" yuta asked.

"to make him convince his parents that demons weren't that bad." the demon heir replied nonchalantly.

"yes! and imagine if you two were together! imagine if you came to want to get married!" yuta yelled.

"lower your volume for fuck's sake!" jaehyun groaned. "this won't happen if he doesn't like me back!"

"imagine your union being the reason to merge the two realms into one again!" yuta continued on the same tone.

jaehyun picked up a pillow next to him and used it to hit yuta's head with it, in an attempt to shut him up.

it was a big fail since yuta dodged it and started laughing loudly.

"all those propositions are very interesting, yuta. despite being done a bit too loudly." jaehyun spoke. "but they all suppose that doyoung has feelings for me too."

"jaehyun, you're one blind mole to imagine that he could not like you!" yuta replied.

"how can you be so sure of this?" jaehyun raised a brow.

"because he told sicheng. and sicheng told me." yuta said proudly.

jaehyun sighed once again, using one of his hands to massage his temples.

"so... i assume that sicheng knows about my feelings too?" he asked.

"well... i think so." yuta nodded. "but he would have discovered it on his own anyway because of your obvious gayness for the human heir."

jaehyun rolled his eyes. "well, tell your boyfriend to keep his mouth shut until i ask doyoung out then."

"so, you're going to do it?!" yuta exclaimed. "wait, sicheng is not my boyfriend!"

"not yet." jaehyun rolled his eyes. "you two are obvious."

"funny hearing that from your mouth, lover boy." yuta smirked.

"shut up and go tell your future boyfriend about it then."

yuta nodded happily, jumping around.

"will do!" he clapped his hands. "aren't you happy that doyoung likes you back? you seem like you're going to a funeral."

"i'm the happiest person in the world, but i won't let it be shown as long as you're in this room with me!" he exclaimed. "i don't need your mocking!"

♨/❄

jaehyun was walking back and forth inside his bedroom, nibbling at the skin around his nails.

he was nervous.

this was so not him.

he wanted to ask doyoung out today, but he was in a doubt period.

did doyoung really have feelings for him?

or were sicheng and yuta playing him?

would jaehyun be rejected by doyoung?

or will the human accept his confession?

and how will he confess?

damn, all those questions trotting inside his mind were too much for him to the point he was starting to ask himself if asking doyoung out was a good idea.

"man up already!" jaehyun scolded himself. "you're the future king! you can't be impressed by a simple confession."

jaehyun continued his journey across his room, the skin on his fingers having completely disappeared by then.

it took him a long time, but he managed to find what to say.

he had come up with a cute confession, and a good plan.

he knew how to do, and he just needed confidence for that.

confidence, and doyoung standing in front of him too.

♨/❄

"sicheng, why are you dragging me around like that?" doyoung asked, trying to make sicheng let go of his wrist.

"it's important, i swear." his best friend assured.

"and where are jaehyun and yuta?" doyoung asked. "they're usually walking with us to school."

"they're already inside, they had something to do."

sicheng had been dragging doyoung for a dozen of minutes, assuring him that it was very important.

in fact, yuta and sicheng had a plan to make jaehyun and doyoung realise their feelings for each other.

yuta had claimed that jaehyun was too much of a coward to confess on his own, without a little bit of help. and so, they were this little bit of help he would need.

sure, it was childish, but it will be worth it.

"here they are!" sicheng exclaimed, seeing the two demons in a conversation a few meters away from them.

"they seem to be talking about something important, let's not bother them." doyoung said, trying to pull sicheng towards him.

"come on! go greet jaehyun!" sicheng rolled his eyes, stopping next to his best friend, a meter away from the two demons.

"later..." doyoung whined.

"nope!"

before doyoung could react, sicheng pushed him with all his force towards the two demons.

yuta saw what was happening, and didn't hesitate to place his leg in front of doyoung's feet, making the human stumble and fall on jaehyun.

the demon heir didn't expect the shock and fell backwards holding the human's body to prevent it from getting hurt.

jaehyun fell down, back to the ground, and doyoung fell right on top of him.

however, neither of them expected their lips to meet at this very moment, making both boys widen their eyes in surprise while their two best friends were high-fiving behind them.
