💛 Chapter 18: Our Feelings 💛
~~~~~~~~~Your POV~~~~~~~~~
About a week had passed. Bill has been going to town with me almost every day as a normal person, and we've grown a lot closer together.
However, as time went on, I noticed that his personality had changed a little bit. It wasn't anything big, but definitely there, and it worried me..
When I first met him, he would always throw in jokes at everything that was said in done, he didn't care whether the moment was serious or not. He just always made light out of every situation, without a single care in the world.
Now though, he barely jokes around. Sure he'll say one or two a day, but compared to before, it's a lot less.
I kind of.. miss his humor..
He had also gotten more quiet, more serious; he wouldn't jokingly tease me, he wouldn't read my thoughts just to annoy me, he'd simply stare off into nothingness, and would only talk to me if I talked first.
Had I done something wrong..?
Was he angry with me..?
He didn't seem to be..
Maybe he missed his freedom, or- ...
... maybe he missed her..?
Isabella, right..? That girl from the 13 hundreds, was she on his mind..? Is that why he had gotten more distant..?
And.. why did that thought bother me so much..?
Was I jealous..?
I didn't have a reason to be, the girl has been dead for hundreds of years..!
Besides, he's a demon, I could never.. I wouldn't- ...
Well... I'm not against the idea of being with him, actually...
But I highly doubt that he'd ever like that...
I'm just a human, I'm weak in his eyes, I have a really, really short lifespan compared to him. Why would he ever choose to stay with me?
... he did want to stay with Isabella though...
Maybe... maybe we could be...
"Could be what?"
"EEP!" I jumped at the sudden voice, seeing tiny Bill floating in front of me as he tilted his head. I did say he'd been more quiet, but this is clearly not the right example.
He snickered at my reaction, though normally he'd laugh his guts out, placing his hands in front of him in surrender. "Sorry, couldn't resist."
"I- it's fine."
He raised an eyebrow at me. "Why so tense, (f/g)?"
"I just have a lot in my head right now."
"I can tell, it's like a tornado in there."
Rolling my eyes, I stretched my arms above my head before taking my hair brush, getting ready for bed. As I sat on my bed, I noticed him staring at my with a more.. saddened expression.
"... what..?"
"... You wanna go somewhere?"
"Somewhere? Like, in town?"
He shook his head. "Anywhere. Anywhere in the world."
"Uh.. I-I mean, I certainly wouldn't mind it, but I don't have the money or time right now."
His look quickly turned into the sad one to one of 'look who you're talking to'. Right, all powerful demon, who could take us to the other side of the universe in the snap of a finger.
I let out a small sigh. "Well, where do you wanna go?"
Turning to his normal size, he took a bow, offering a hand to me. "How about a surprise?"
I stared at him for a few seconds. It's not that I didn't trust him, but it still sort of worried me. Still, I placed my hand in his, and he pulled me close to his chest, feeling my cheeks heat up at the action. Everything around me was pure white for a second, and when I reopened my eyes...
"U-Uh... where are we...? Why are we so high up..?!"
"What, have you never been in the Eiffel Tower before?"
"The what?!?" Slightly peeking down, I saw a gorgeous city underneath us, the sunset sky giving it the most beautiful glow. My eyes had grown so wide from amazement. "We- we're in Paris?!?"
"Yep, at the tower's very top. You like it?"
"I love it!! This is so beautiful!!" Getting some caught up in the shocking moment, I wrapped Bill in a tight hug, unable to hide the wide smile that had grown on my face. "Thank you thank you thank you!!!"
He had froze a bit at the action, and soon awkwardly patted my back. "Uh, yeah, you're welcome.."
I pulled away, noticing the redness in his cheeks, making me let out a giggle at the sight. He was definitely cute..
We stayed behind the railing for a good five minutes just staring at the breathtaking view. When I looked up at Bill, I noticed a strange, vacant look in his eyes as he stared at nothing in particular, lost in his own mind.
I bit my lip; I was afraid to ask anything, but...
"... Bill..?"
"Hm?"
"I've been worried about you.. You've been awfully quiet recently, like, a lot more quiet than normal.. You're usually always so chatty.. I want to know what's bothering you.."
He didn't reply to me, looking down at the tiny people that walked through the streets, then let out a sigh. "There's something I've been thinking a lot about.. or.. more so, someone.."
I knew it..
The reason he'd been like this was her..
"... you really miss Isabella, huh..?"
"Isabella? When did we start talking about her?" He turned to me, clearly confused.
I slightly gripped my shirt sleeve. "Is that not what you're sad about..?"
"No, of course not, I've had centuries to forget about her."
"O-oh, right.."
"... ohhhh." He suddenly leaned a lot closer to me, a wide smirk on his face as my cheeks heated up. "Are you jealous~?"
"H-Huh?! Of course not! Why would I need to be jealous?!"
"I dunno, you tell me."
Jealous...
...
I... I was a bit jealous... Strangely enough, I wanted that sort of attention from him...
That... love...
Was that bad...?
"Love..?" Bill repeated, his eyes widening a little.
Shoot! I forgot, mind reading!!
I immediately grew ten times darker out of embarrassment, turning away. "I-ignore that, I didn't say- th-think! I didn't think anything."
Everything grew for a few seconds, and he then walked to stand in front of me, looking down. "(y/n), what do you mean by that..?"
(y/n)...?
He had never called me by name before, it's always been (f/g) to him...
...
Swallowing back whatever fear I head, I gripped my arms, looking away. "I mean that... m-maybe in all this time we've spent together, I've... g-grown to have deep feelings for you, you crazy demon..."
He didn't respond, and when I looked back at him, there was something blocking his eyes.
Pain...
Sadness...
Despair...
(Danganrompa? O-O)
"Bill..?"
"... Why?"
"Why what..?"
"Why do you love me? I'm a crazy demon who has done nothing but annoy you for as long as we've been together, you have no reason to even-!"
His words came to a stop when I grabbed his face, kissing his lips. He completely froze at the action, eyes so wide when I pulled away. I don't know why I kissed, but it hurt to hear him talk about himself in such manner.
Especially when I thought so highly of him.
"You're.. completely right about being a crazy demon, and even though we had a bumpy start, I really love being with you.. I love your jokes, and your weirdness, and how you always have comebacks for everything, and you're probably one of the smartest creatures ever..!"
Another pause of silent as he stared at me. I was going to apologize for the kiss, realizing it might've been too much, when he grabbed my face, kissing me this time.
Neither of us pulled away from the long kiss for five, maybe ten minutes? I don't know, I was completely spellbound by the moment, all I knew was that I didn't want it to stop..
If anything, I wanted more..
"More you say..?" I grew darker, I really had to learn to seriously manage my thoughts.
He picked me up bridal style, and I wrapped my arms around him out if instinct. "What do you have in mind..?"
"... I-I don't have to say that, you should be able to see it yourself.."
"True.."
And a second later, we were back in my room, on my bed. "I know exactly what you mean.."
My life was now a strange book, the human and the demon..
But I didn't want it to end..
Not now, and not ever...
Thanks for reading!!! 'Till next time!!!
❤️❤️❤️
