~~~~~~~~~Your POV~~~~~~~~~

I spent most of the day with Bill in town. It was fun to be able to talk to him normally without peeking at my shoulder and see people give me weird glances.

It was already dark out, and I was pretty hungry, so we decided to stop at Greasy's Diner. Bill was a bit hesitant about it because of what happened, but he gave in soon enough.

We sat at a booth in the corner, and I searched through the menu, a question came into mind.

"Hey Bill, do you ever eat anything?"

He leaned back against his seat. "Nope, I've never had the need to eat."

"That's pretty sad."

"Sad?" He raised an eyebrow. "What's sad about that?"

"Well, it's true the main reason people eat food is to survive, but we also eat because food's delicious. Have you ever tried any sort of food?"

"Nope."

"What if you try some now?"

He thought for a while, then smiled. "I'm down for the challenge, sure!"

When the waitress walked over, I ordered two of the same meals. It was my favorite thing to eat in the entire world, and I wanted him to try it too!

Once we get our food, I began to eat. Bill, on the other hand, had grabbed the fork and lightly tapped the food in front of him. Was he checking for poison or something?

I snickered. "Um.. do you know how to eat..?"

"I'm not an idiot, (f/g)." He took a small piece, and though he hesitated at first, he took a bite.

His eyes then lit up, and he immediately gobbled down the rest of his food. I couldn't help but giggle at the sight, he was so cute!

Turning to me, I could see the bright sparkle in his eyes. "Can I get more?"

"You can order some more, but I don't exactly have that much money."

"I can make money appear, I'm ordering more."

And he did order more, but it was already pretty late, and I had to get home, so we left the diner.

The more I thought about it, the more it was strange to me. This demon, this crazy powered demon, trapped in a stone statue, and I set him free. He was forced to stay with me, and although I'm still against him being some servant, if that had never happened, I would've never been able to know him like this.

Like.. another person.. Another mind, with normal emotions..

But.. I know I would hate being someone else's servant, so..

"... Hey Bill..?"

"Yeah?"

"Does it.. bother you that you have to be with me at all times..?"

He didn't reply right away, a blank stare on his face. I had expected him to say yes, and I couldn't blame him for it, no one likes being forced to be with someone, especially a complete stranger.

"It did, at first."

"At first..?"

"When we first met. I hated the idea, more than anything." He then stopped in front of me and gave a shrug. "Now though, I think you're pretty cool, for a mortal."

"Ey!"

We both laughed a little, but there was something there that bothered me.

Something in his eyes.

There was an uncertainty, a cloud of disappointment that covered them. There was something seriously bothering him, something he didn't want to share with me. Was it that serious? What problems what a demon have?

"Are you really that curious?"

I tensed up a bit, but nodded at the question. He crossed his arms, and thought for a little longer. "It's.. a complicated subject.."

"I'm all ears if you're okay talking to me.."

"... (y/n), I was never.. I've never been-.. It wasn't-.."

He tried to make his words make sense, but he was never able to finish his sentences, it was as if each word was a pain to say.

Did this really hurt him that much..?

"It's okay, Bill.. You don't have to tell me.." I gave him a small yet reassuring smile, trying to make him feel better.

He stayed silent, his expression unreadable. A thought crossed my mind, and before he had a change to read it, I leaned over, placing a kiss on his cheek. His shoulders tensed up almost immediately, eyes a bit wide as I pulled away, and a bit of pink on his cheeks.

It was a cute sight to see..

"When you feel comfortable enough to tell me, I'll be ready to listen, okay..?"

He didn't reply, only nodded in understanding after a second, and we continued to go home.

For him to be like this.. it really worried me..

~~~~~~~~~Bill's POV~~~~~~~~~

...

Things weren't suppose to end like this...

I wasn't suppose to get close...

And yet... this girl...

This weak, pathetic, worthless human girl...

...

Worthless...?

If she really was worthless, then why did I care so much...?

Why did I get angry when she was in danger...?

Why was I sad whenever she was hurt...?

Why did I smile whenever she was happy...?

Why did I care...?

(y/n)...

What did you do to me...?

...

It...

It doesn't matter.

My plan is still set, it won't change. It can't change.

I will continue this until the very end, no matter what.

Thanks for reading!!! 'Till next time!!!
