Chapter 2
I'm a mortal?!
-the boy-
Usagi opens his eyes and freaks out. I sigh as I hear it, I'm sitting in the dining room with a bowl of cereal.
ever since last month my life has drastically changed. It all started when my inner voice seemingly disapeared, and I woke up inbetween 1am and 3am, the Haunting hours. Something would be watching and touching me. Eventually it was too much for me to handle so I took my problem to a friend, Eri Aikawa. She used to be a demon herself, though it has been many years ago.
She was a child demon who had attached herself to a very sick woman who was got to have a baby. She protected the woman from the demons who made her sick and the woman got better. Eventually Eri began noticing differences, little at first. The woman lost the child, yet she continued to prepare for a child, a little bit older but still a child.
At the time Eri didn't think anything of it as long as the woman was healthy. Then one day the woman began seeing Eri, and after that the woman found an ancient chant and ritual to give Eri what she wanted. Life, flesh and bones, color, and most of all the love of a mother.
Whenever Eri tells me about it I tear up, it's touching.
Im pulled from my thoughts as mr. Freakout, stumbles into the table while groaning and complaining the entire time.
"human boy, there is something terribly wrong with me." He says and I roll my eyes.
"no shit Sherlock, you have issues shall I list them? You jerk of to death, you look like you are the living dead, you faint at the sight of blood, and ohh yeah you basically tried to rape me every night for a month before you were a mortal. So pray tell what is the new thing wrong with you today." I say propping my head up on my hands.
the look on his face goes slightly paler and his eye lids fall slightly. "I feel as though you are mocking me. My insides are freaking out and I feel as if I'm going to fall over, and possibly spew stuff from my insides." Usagi says and I snort.
I get up. "Ohh that would be hunger, you havnt had anything to eat, it's normally not that bad. The feeling of weekness also goes with not eating, you feel like ur gonna spew stuff?" I say a little confused and he taps his throat.
i nod. It makes sense now, I remember not eating once all day and once I was hungry I threw up. It's not that I purposely didn't eat either I simply wasn't hungry but I slept all day, and when I went to eath I threw up first then I was fine.
"you feel like you are going to puke, that's the feeling there. You just need to eat. I say and hand him a piece of toast.
As he eats it I go get dressed and when I return he looks a bit better, still pretty dead looking though.
"Usagi, you sajd you had fallen to the 'good side' what does that mean?" I ask and fix a cup of coffee for him. He needs help not looking so dead, it's like he died a week ago, it's kinda creepy.
"you had other demons always around you, they were not good. They would whisper horrible things to you, about you. They lust after horrible thoughts and depression, they were trying to wear you down. I kept them away, and technical banned them from the space inbetween realms. Demons can't leave that realm though technically speaking and sooo I kind of killed them. Though apparently there is another way to leave that space." He says and I nod.
I hand him the coffee and he understands that it's a drink...thankfully. "So there were bad demons around me a lot, and I'm aware that there was an almost sudden quietness when u first attached yourself to me. What was that about?" I ask and he looks to the wall.
"Well I was sick and tired of the little voice that was about to tell you about me, and I honestly didn't want to know. But it was accurate and I was done with it so I shut it the fuck up. honestly it should have shut up years ago after it first appeared, whatever happened must have been tramatic. It's rare for the gift to stay so long but it's gone, what can I say except you welcome. I mean it was annoying right?" He says and I shrug.
"Well it helped me get through some risky times. And did you just? Naa you obviously never payed attention so it's just me imagineing it. Look I called in and I've got the day off work. We have work to do. You are dead looking and you need stuff of your own." I say and he nods.
-the former demon-
the boy is more relaxed today, he definitely looks like he's not old today...probably because he got sleep.
"you have less wrinkles today." I say and they boy glares at me.
"Let's just go before I smack you." He says and I smile.
its fun playing stupid for now, he's actually babying me. I coul Definately get used to this. And how dare he, I do not look dead!
"I'm a sexy fuckin beast over here what the hell does he mean 'you look dead'? " I say outloud on accident and he freezes.
-Misaki-
"there that's better! See ou look not so dead now!" I say and smile.
Putting Usagi in dark greys made him look better, along with a haircut and a lavender tie. He looks so nice.
He looks his reflection over then looks to me. "I don't get you, you think this looks good? I look horrifying, I was a fuckin sexy beast, now I look like a nightmare." He says and I shake my head.
"What do I have some mortal nightmare on me?" He asks and chuckes for a moment.
I've never heard him do that, it's strange for some reason.
"No, it's just that you look really good even by our standards actually, despite now looking like you never sleep. Lots of guys would love to look as good as you do right now." I say and Usagi perks up.
"ehhh! So if I heard you right I'm still a sexy demon...err, mortal?!" Usagi says surprised and I half nod.
I mean whatever helps boost his ego for now. His whole existence was flipped on its head less than 24 hours ago, why not let him have it.
-Usagi-
i yawn as we walk back to his apartment, it was a long day of making me look like I fit in. Like who would t be exhausted after this kind of day?!
"let's eat, then after that sleep because today was exhausting. You are so damn picky." Misaki says and I smile when he's not looking.
several peanutbutter sandwiches later I'm in my new pjs. And by that I mean I threw them at a wall and began falling asleep without anything covering me but the blankets.
-still Usagi just thought I would let you know-
"Usagi!" The boy shouts in my ear and my eyes snap open.
"The fuck is wrong with you?!" I complain and a blanket is thrown at me. I hold it in my hands and then it clicks. I kicked it off in my sleep...hahahahaha that's funny who knew he would react like that.
"put some damn clothes on! And wear them when you sleep!" He says and turns and faces the wall away from me.
With a sly grin I pull out all the stops. "But they were so uncomfortable to sleep in. I couldn't sleep it was so unbearable. Not to mention it was hot as I was trying to fall asleep." I complain with the most convincing and innocent voice I can when put on the spot.
"gahh! Just get dressed!" He says and leaves. My grin widens, it worked this is going to be fun.
Alright! That's this chapter down! Haha yes usagi did reference moana's Sony your welcome. Haha did Usagi need the ego boost? Probably not, was he being over the top on purpose? Hell yes! How long will it work? Drop a review and let me know what you think and feel free to give ideas on what should happen!
