Heartfelt Apology
Furuichi bit his lip when he walked into the living room. The demon's tail lashed in a decidedly aggravated manner for several minutes until Furuichi tip-toed over to the demon with a glass of water. Oga turned away from the water offered to him, but Furuichi could tell that the demon was touched by the gesture since his tail faded. All that were left were the black stubs peeking out from under inky hair.
Furuichi had seen something similar to this happen in a drama. In the end, it all worked out, so, maybe he could try it too, even if it was a little embarrassing. Setting the water aside, Furuichi reached for Oga's folded arms and used them to wrap around his slim waist. Surprised, Oga couldn't do much else other than accommodate the kneeling human between his seated legs. "Oga, I'm sorry I forgot about the spell. But I know that's not why you're really mad, right?"
Furuichi spoke gently, and Oga wanted to rut inside the little human until they had forgotten all about it, but Furuichi pulled back. It was obvious they wouldn't do anything fun until they had this conversation. Oga heaved a sigh, tried to focus on the question, before shaking his head. "This isn't a power play, and you're not my pet. Do you want to know how I see us now with this necklace on?"
Oga shook his head one more time.
"Equal. I don't have to be scared of you trying to hurt me, even by accident." The last bit was said quickly since Furuichi saw the grimace that crossed the demon's features. "I forgive you. This isn't a punishment, it's just security. I mean you know we weren't even matched before, even if I was a buff human."
Oga rolled his eyes, but nodded.
Furuichi cupped the demon's face and pressed a kiss that turned into something warmer. Guess it does work out in real life too. Furuichi thought vaguely when a hand slid inside his shirt.
