Demonio watched Royal’s hands as he brushed out theng, blue, low ponytail. Royal’s thin fingers running through the hair...Royal’s soft humming...it all sparked something in Demonio every time he saw it. He’d never admit that, but it was true...he may be in love (love? When did he feel that again?) with Royal, and he may have blushed a bit every time Royal spoke to him, but...he’d never be able to tell Royal.
It’d just make things awkward between the two friends.
Demonio sighed softly, continuing to walk past Royal’s room. Royal smiled softly, looking in the mirror corner, seeing the long white hair just vanish behind the door. He knew Demonio was watching him, after all, he was still half demon! He still had senses! But...he didn’t mind. After all, Demonio needed to learn how to brush out all his hair...Royal didn’t mind doing it for him, really, but sometimes he was too busy…
Royal got up and closed the door, pulling his nightshirt off and getting himself dressed for the day. Indeed, all the Lu’s were going to be asleep for the next few hours, but...he should have breakfast ready for them when they wake. It was his duty. He hummed, tying his hair in the low ponytail with the blue ribbon, pulling his jacket on and leaving the room.
He ran directly into Demonio, who fell back, holding his head. They did butt foreheads, and even though he could easily get stabbed in the arm and play it off, getting his in the forehead damn hurt! Royal also tripped, falling back against the wall, groaning softly. Demonio felt the need to say sorry already.
“Are...you okay, Royal…?”
“Y-Yeah...j-just hurt a little...w-what were you doing?”
“Oh...I was coming to ask when you’d be out...we should start making breakfast, since Dread won’t help…”
“Oh, how typical of him...alright, well...I’m out now.”
Demonio got up, holding out a hand, Royal taking it and getting pulled up by Demonio. Demonio actually felt his heart speed up, just a bit, when he had Royal’s hand in his. Then, it was gone when Royal let go, brushing himself off. Demonio loved Royal’s hands...how thin yet strong they were, how they could easily hold up a heavy weapon, all while able to perform the most delicate of tasks.
Demonio often thought about Royal’s hands in his own, thought about Royal’s hands holding his-
That was enough of that. After all, Diabla could probably read his thoughts, even though she was asleep.
“Oh, Demonio, would you go wake Dread?”
“He won’t help us.”
“I know. It’s about something else.”
Demonio nodded slowly, turning around and heading toward Dread’s room. He knew to knock on the door first after he walked into some...awkward times where Dread was having some strange thoughts. He got a gruff “come in” said quietly, so he opened the door and walked in, Dread yawning and sitting up from his bed.
“Hey, Dreadlord...Royal wants to talk to you.”
“Damn...what’s that nag want this time?”
“Nag…?”
“Yeah. You know, when all he does is lecture me? He’s naggin’ me.”
“He didn’t say what…”
“That’s no good.”
Dread climbed out of bed, sighing softly and ruffling his bedhead, Demonio walking out. He...didn’t like being in Dread’s room, especially since he knew what happened in there. He didn’t particularly like Dread either, knowing full well that Dread had done...things with Royal in there, on that same bed. He heard it. He felt it in his bones that they did. That time he accidentally walked in on Dread’s free time, Dread was quietly moaning Royal’s name...and he was the only one who could have Royal.
No one else could. Not Dread, not any of those damn Add’s, no one.
Royal was all his.
He walked back to the kitchen, seeing Royal mix some eggs in a bowl, watching him look so...focused as he did. He just wanted to sweep Royal up and kiss him all over, distract him from his work and see what would happen. But...he couldn’t.
He didn’t want to make things awkward.
So, he silently took his own jacket off, opening the fridge and pulling out the salmon. Him and Royal agreed on making a salmon omelette for the Lu’s today, and Demonio was pretty good at cooking fish, surprisingly. He got a chopping board out, lying the hunk of fish on on it and and getting a knife out.
Time to get cooking with his princess, right? This is a place they could touch hands, even if accidentally, and Demonio cherished it every time.
