“Ah- um… aren’t you disgusted?”
You look up into the demon’s eyes and frowned. You currently had your arms wrapped around Gyutaro’s shoulders in an embrace.
“Of course not,” you murmured while burying your face into the demon’s neck, “I like hugging you.”
It was true. You always felt warm and safe in Gyutaro’s arms. Although, It didn’t go unnoticed that he always stiffened and remained silent anytime you hugged him.
You worried that he might’ve not liked being touched but he never pulled away either. This was the first time he said anything while being embraced by you, so you were a little surprised.
“Why?” Gyutaro asked, “My body is all skin and bones and my hair is damaged beyond repair. It’s… gross.”
“Gyutaro…” you began before being interrupted.
“I’m ugly, Y/N. People take one look at me and are revolted. You’re the only one who even dares to touch me like this… so why?” Gyutaro asked, his voice shaking.
Taking a step back, you looked into the demon’s eyes before placing your hands on each side of his face.
“Wha-“ before Gyutaro could finish what he was saying, you gently kissed his cheek.
“Y/N!” He stuttered, his face becoming red. You smiled, kissing his other cheek.
You kissed his jaw, his nose, his eyelids, and his forehead.
Gyutaro’s face became a deeper shade of red with each kiss, making you grin.
“I like you, Gyutaro.” You confessed, “I like everything about you. You’re so strong and caring, especially towards the ones you hold close.”
“But I’m-“
Knowing what he was going to say, you cut him off, “Handsome.”
“…”
The demon didn’t say anything and just stared at you with an unreadable look on his face. The silence was unbearably loud and you started to become nervous. Maybe he didn’t feel the same way?
“I’m sorry, I- I should’ve asked before…” you stammered, embarrassed “I don’t know what I was th-“
Suddenly, you felt Gyutaro’s lips pressed against your own, his strong arms wrapping around your waist.
Gyutaro pulled away, a wobbly smile on his face, “I like you too.”
You stood there shocked, still recovering from the unexpected kiss. When his words finally registered, you pull him back in for a deeper kiss.
Several minutes passed when a voice suddenly rang out.
“Hey brother, do you know where I put my-“
You quickly pulled away from Gyutaro, cheeks flushed.
Standing in front of them, was Daki, who was smirking at the two.
“Oh?” Daki said in a teasing tone, “Took you two long enough. Watching your awkward pining was embarrassing!”
“Hey!” Gyutaro exclaimed, blushing.
“What? It’s true!” Daki laughed, “I’ll just come back later then!” she turned and began walking away.
When Daki was out of sight, you turned and made eye contact with Gyutaro.
“…”
You both bursted out laughing, finding the whole situation to be funny.
Calming down, Gyutaro grabbed your hand and placed a light kiss on your knucles.
“I’m glad you feel the same way I do” he smiled, looking up into your eyes.
“Me too.” You said, returning a smile.
