First of all, happy early Halloween! Second, this month continues to remind me of how big of a paranoid freak I am. I usually do something stupid that makes me lose sleep for days, like watch horror movies and stuff. This year's stupid thing is that I've been reading what is known as Creepypastas. I've read Jeff the Killer, Eyeless Jack, BEN Drowned, and Laughing Jack. The one that I am losing sleep over at the current moment is Laughing Jack. I'm sorry, but I am fucking TERRIFIED of clowns enough as it is. So. I am. A fucking idiot.

I do not own Diana Twining (Yumi does). I also do not own Makai Ouji (Madoka Takadono-sama does).

A month had passed since then. Dantalion had started his old habit of sneaking out to see Diana again, having to be more than careful not to get caught by William. The Nephilim didn't want to relive the stinging pain of the rather hard slap that the Elector had dealt him after leaving the infirmary on that day one month before. Just thinking about it made the male shiver slightly and hesitantly rub his once swollen cheek. That had been a rather painful slap, after all... Shaking his head, the noirette slipped out of his window, took a quick shortcut, and appeared outside of Diana's dorm room. Climbing up the side of the wall and opening the window, he slipped in, unseen and without consequence.

"There you are," smiled Diana when she saw the male. She scooted over in her bed slightly, reaching back and grabbing a spare pillow off of the floor. She placed it beside her, lightly patting it. "Why don't you come over and join me...?"

"Diana," gasped Dantalion in a teasing manner. "William would kill me if he found out." He then grinned at her. "But I love you, so yes, I will join you~." He closed the window before walking over to the bed. Slipping under the blanket and resting his head on the pillow that the girl had provided for him, he gazed lovingly into her green orbs with his own scarlet ones. The look in her eyes was kind and loving, gentle and sweet. Just like Diana, herself. "Did you miss me today?"

"Of course, I did," Diana informed him, reaching up and resting a hand against his cheek. "I was worried that my brother was going to get mad at you again for whatever reason and just slap you again. I'm glad to see that you are swollen-cheek-free..."

"I'm a mighty Demon general," teased Dantalion, relaxing under her touch. "A mere slap across the face is nothing more than a small nuisance to me." He closed his eyes slightly. All cockiness left his voice with his next words. "Thank you, though, for worrying about me, Diana..."

Diana giggled softly and leaned over, pressing her lips against the Nephilim's own gently. After a small moment, she pulled away. "I'll always worry about you. Demon or not, you're my boyfriend... I love you, so I would be upset if you got hurt." Giving him a small eskimo kiss, she smiled warmly at him. "I would hate for you to get hurt, after all..."

"Are you going to beat up all the nasty, mean, old bullies for me, Diana~?" teased Dantalion, beaming at the girl happily. "After all, Hell hath no fury compared to a woman scorned~."

The blond poked the male's cheek, beaming as well. "Perhaps. Though the best that I can do is a bad 'your mom' joke. And that isn't very lady-like, now is it~?"

They both laughed, snuggling into each other happily. Dantalion would admit to having been surprised at how easily the girl accepted him for what he was, for who he was. He had feared her rejecting him, knowing full well that he would easily out live the girl and that if he ever wanted to (which would be never, by the way) kill the girl, he could easily do so with just the mere snap of his fingers. But she had accepted him. She had accepted that at one time that he was a human. She had accepted that at one time, he had been a murderer. She had accepted that he had sold his soul to Lucifer and that he had become a Nephilim. She had accepted everything about him.

And that was more than Dantalion had deserved, he was sure of it. Nobody was so deserving as to get such a wonderful, beautiful, smart, funny, perfect girl... Especially him... A murderer, liar, deceiver... So on and so forth.

So the Nephilim was happy that he was able to be with such a girl like Diana. Wait. Exactly Diana. Nobody could ever replace her. Not one person ever, let alone at all. So that left the question that had been burning at the back of the male's mind all day...

"Diana... How would you like to be a Nephilim?"

Diana looked at him slightly, blinking slowly. She thought about it for a small moment before laying her head on his chest. "I would like to be one if that means that I can stay with you..." she admitted to the noirette. "But..."

"But...?" frowned the male.

"I want to wait a little while. A few years to be exact... So I can fully mature my body and get my diploma from this school..." Diana looked at him a little hopefully. "I hope that that's alright with you..."

"Of course, it is," assured the noirette. "I understand." He knew that school meant the world to her - it seemed to with the Twinings, and he knew that her current age was still an awkward one to be at, so the need to mature physically would be a good thing... Perhaps even mentally, as well. Not that Diana Twining needed to mature mentally or anything! It was just the whole hormones dictate emotions thing... "For humans now-a-days, at what age is the body completely finished developing?"

"Hm... Maybe eighteen or nineteen? I would suggest waiting until twenty-one just to make sure... If that isn't asking too much, I mean..."

Dantalion pulled her up slightly, brushing his lips against her own. "You could never be asking too much of me..." he assured her softly, reaching up and brushing some stray locks of blond hair out of her face. He looked lovingly into her eyes. "I'm willing to wait a few years if it means that I can spend eternity with you..." He smiled a small smile. "I love you, Diana Twining..."

Diana pressed her lips to the male's own, closing her eyes. She then pulled away slightly, opening her eyes to stare lovingly into his own. "I love you, too, Dantalion Huber..."
