So... had an idea. Continuing one last day with Ember here before I go to different things. Hope no one minds.

Please enjoy.

Wulfric sighed a bit as he watched that Ember kid run around, wishing Yuki hadn't twisted his arm into spending the day with him. Yet one, if he didn't Yuki would have Pyro pummel him. And two... she had a good point. If Ember truly WAS a part of their little group now... he might as well get to know him.

In truth, Wulfric had been dreading this day a bit. He knew Ember was a hyper demon, and he wasn't sure if he'd be able to handle his hyper energy. Ember was... again hyper. He had a tough time handling hyper.

Turning, he looked just in time to witness a group of humans run at the mere SIGHT of Ember, the hellfire making a sad expression. On a plus side, at least that meant Ember was either scary looking, or somehow intimidating. So long as it kept humans away he supposed. Ember had good potential to be a great scared.

" Aww. "

Ember whined, making a slightly pouty face.

" Why did theys run off...? "

Wulfric chuckled a little, walking over to the demon and grabbed his left wing, pulling it open.

" Well, ah, let's see here. "

He said simply, smiling widely.

" It could be because of these. "

The werewolf then grabbed the tip of Embers tail and pulled it towards Embers line of sight.

" Or it could be because of this. "

Letting go, the hellfires tail springing back into place, Wulfric soon pointed to his own ears and having them twitch a bit.

" It could be because of these. "

Finally he pointed right at the others face, smiling wider as he finished up.

" Or it could be because of those fangs or because of those eyes. The point is kid, they ran off because you're in no way human. And they're scared of you for it. "

" They're... scared of me...? "

Ember whimpered, looking... very hurt and sad to hear this. Wulfric almost felt a little bad, but he'd been being straight with the kid. The other was in no way human. He was a hellfire demon. And no human was going to be all "buddy buddy" with him because of it. Better he hear it now before a human burned him at a stake.

... Well, more so just the nailing to the stake, as the fire wouldn't kill him. Or harm him.

Ember sighed, shaking his head before looking up at Wulfric, smiling softly. His eyes still reflected his sadness, but the smile proved he was trying to remain strong and positive.

" Well. That's ok I guess. "

He said in a forced cheerful tone, smiling widely.

" Cause I still have a good buddy. "

" Oh? "

Wulfric said smugly, crossing his arms and smirking.

" And who would that be kid? "

" Why... you, of course. "

Wulfric recoiled a little, his bad boy attitude going right down the drain to this.

" Ah... c-come again kid? "

To his surprise, Ember smiled brighter still, the smile now truly genuine.

" Well yeah. When I was waiting for mum and dad to wake up on my first day you watched over me. When I was getting that test from that purple woman you were there to make sure I didn't accidentally burn her. And you're here now, trying to get to know me. I'd say you're a good, awesome, bad boy buddy. "

Wulfric blinked as Ember gave one final smile and turned away, walking and leaving the werewolf to ponder what just happened. That kid... saw him that way? An awesome, bad boy buddy? But the kid barely knew him. How could he warm up to him so quickly like that?

... Trying to assure himself the kid was just being weird, Wulfric chalked this up as nothing more than a way to score brownie points with Yuki. After all, the kid apparently liked him. Maybe that would get the demon lady off his back.

Rushing to catch up with the demon, he was surprised to find the demon frozen in place, eyes wide. Walking up to his side, he soon tried to find what Ember was looking at. All he could see was a girl with long black hair held up in a ponytail at a vendor (back turned to them). As she turned, Wulfric soon recognized her to be Fatima Ramirez, who now had a cup of hot chocolate.

The werewolf blinked and turned back to Ember, finding the demons eyes lowered a bit, irises sparkling, hands on his cheeks and tongue sticking out cutely, his cheeks blushing a soft purple.

" She's... so pretty... "

Ember murmured, Wulfrics eyes soon widening a little. He soon chuckled, finding this a bit... interesting.

" Really? You've got a crush on the Ramirez girl? "

Ember soon returned to normal, turning to Wulfric with a face full of question.

" What's a crush? "

Wulfric sighed, yet... sliiightly finding the others ignorance cute. Slightly.

" Well, answer this: do you feel like you want to hug her? "

" Yes~ "

Ember said sweetly, looking down and blushing.

" Do you want to spend as much time with her as you can? "

" Heheheh... yes~ "

The hellfire giggled, now closing his eyes and swaying a bit on the spot.

" Do you even want to kiss her? "

" Eheheheh~! "

Ember burst into adorable, gleeful giggles, head up (eyes still closed) and fisted hands near his face, hopping a tiny bit on the spot. Wulfric smirked and crossed his arms once more.

" Well there you go. A crush is when you love someone, except you're not dating them. "

" Heheheh! Ooooh, I's got a crush on pretty Fatima~! "

Wulfric soon burst into laughter, unable to take this anymore.

" Well! Go talk to her! "

" What?! "

Ember yelped, looking at the wolf with a look full of worry.

" N-n-no no! I-I can't! C-cause ah... m-mommy wanted us home now! Come on Wulfric! "

Before Wulfric could even respond, Ember had snapped his fingers and opened the portal to Nerezza, hopping in quickly. Wulfric stood there with wide eyes before snickering and shaking his head. That kid had it baaaad for that Fatima lady. This was sure to end well for him.

It was still sweet though. Only a few days old and Ember already had his first crush. And Wulfric... was wishing him the best of luck as well.

Heheheh... oooh, this was a fun chapter. X3

Hope you all enjoyed!
