Chapter 12
Levi picked up a piece of firewood and stood up"are we going?"Arthur nodded and followed Levi"so that's why you didn't tell us your name?"
Levi nodded"but like I said,I had to tell you guys at some point."Arthur hummed and looked around worriedly,Levi smiled and slowed down till he was by Arthur's side"trust me,there's nothing scary."
"Why should I trust you?"Arthur asked,careful not to sound rude"because I'm the only one who can see."Arthur sighed"a unfair advantage to me."
"Hey,we didn't have stuff like flashlights before you guys,not even fire!"Levi lectured"hey you're not that old!"Levi chuckled"true,but some of my siblings are."
"How old even are you?"Arthur asked"16,000.you?"Arthur smiled"same here,you look older then you are."
"And you look younger,now don't you?i expected you to be 14,000 or something."Arthur nudged Levi playfully"just because I'm afraid of the dark doesn't mean I'm a child!"
"Careful sassy pants,I can blow out the fire-"Arthur grabbed Levi's wrist"don't!"Levi chuckled"alright,as you wish."Arthur let go of his wrist and continued walking.
He was right next to the prince of the monsters,and was going to help him keep it a secret!?he didn't know what possessed him to agree,he had no emotional attachment to Levi..at least he thought so.
Levi looked into the darkness,he couldn't believe that Arthur agreed to help him.he expected Arthur to run or attack him,almost every demon thought that killing him was going to help the war,but he knew better.
He didn't even know he was in the demon territory till Venus and Arthur saved him,he wanted to just run home like the scared little boy he knew he was on the inside.
"Is it short for anything?"Levi was snapped out of his thoughts"your name,is it short for anything?"Levi shook his head"my dad just wanted his son to have a easy name."
"Do you know who did it?who killed Rebecca?"Levi shook his head"I'm sorry,I wish I could help."Arthur rubbed the back of his neck"it's fine,you can't help everyone."
Levi saw a rock in the distance fall from the roof making a bang noise,Arthur yelped and hid behind Levi.
Levi turned to face him and held his shoulders"hey,hey.it's ok,it was just a rock."Arthur held his arms to his chest as if hugging himself"s-sorry,you probably think I'm a baby for being so scared."
Levi held his chin so Arthur would look him in the eyes"Arthur,don't say that.everyone has fears,even monsters."Arthur gave a look of questioning"y-you have fears?"
Levi nodded"it's a bit stupid though."Arthur shook his head"no it isn't,it isn't as bad as having a fear of the dark!"Levi chuckled"if i tell you,will you calm down?"Arthur nodded.
Levi sighed and let go of Arthur and glanced away as his face got darker with blush"I'm scared of a couple things actually,I'm scared of those toy dolls demons have.I'm also scared of water.."he listed of,Arthur was quiet as he listened.
"And I'm a bit scared of those..touchy feely feelings you demons get."Arthur held back a laugh"affection?"Levi nodded"when your dad is everyone's dad it's a little complicated to show..um..mating interest."
Arthur chuckled"everyone is related to you?"Levi sighed"yup."Arthur tilted his head"then isn't everyone royalty?"Levi shook his head"only the youngest is royalty,and that's me."
Arthur thought for a moment,this stuff is giving him a headache"well what if you did have a romantic interest in a girl."Levi held back a laugh"try again buckaroo,I'm too gay for them."
"Oh,then when you're romantically interested in a boy?"Arthur corrected"most of us are fine with having romantic intentions with someone that could be a sibling.me on the other hand?"Levi made a gagging motion,Arthur letted out a fullhearty laugh that voiced through the cave.
Levi smiled at Arthur,he had a nice laugh he'll give him that"hey,you there!?"Levi and Arthur turned to see the girls.
"Are you guys ok?"Venus asked,Levi nodded"we just saw something funny,you guys ready to get out of here?"
