Asa had that nightmare again,
The one where Yoru forced herself onto Denji. Forced her body onto Denji. She could she the pain in Denji's eyes. Despite being such a long time ago, she cant stop having nightmares about it. Yoru has been dead for a long time. She has been living a life with Denji for a long time. Denji shouldn't hate her right? He has always been pretty easy to read. But what if she was wrong? What if he really did think of her as a slut and the only reason he stayed with her was because he felt sorry for her? Or maybe without even knowing she has been forcing him to stay with her? Fuck, she is just as bad as Yoru or Mr. Takana-
To stop herself from spiraling anymore she got out of bed, careful to not disturb Denji's sleep. He has that face again, dumb but in a pretty way. So pretty. But then she remembered how those pretty eyes were filled with pain in that damned alleyway. She went to the kitchen to get herself a cup of water. She just kinda stood there looking out the window. She just kinda lost track of time like she used to before meeting Denji. Whenever Denji talks about his past before meeting her he always had a nostalgic smile while doing so, maybe it would have been better if he had never met h-
"Babe, is something wrong?" Said Denji while yawning and scratching the back of his head,
"Denji, please be honest. Do you think I am a predator or a slut?"
"Huh? Why would I ever think you are a predator or a slut? What are you talking about?"
"BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT ALLEYWAY! IT WAS YORU WHO DID IT BUT I STILL FEEL RESPONABLE! AND DESPITE LIVING WITH YOU FOR SO LONG I FEEL LIKE L-LIKE YOU ARE ONLY WITH ME CAUSE I AM FORCING YOU OR YORU SOMEHOW RUBBED OFF ON ME!"
Denji had a worried expression, "Back then I wasn't sure but now I know that wasn't you. I know I don't talk about it but I have been hurt alot in that way, but I know that you would never do something like that. Also being a slut isnt a bad thing, cause you know sex is awesome as long as anyone involved wants it, anyways I dont think of you as a slut. I think of you as the smart pretty girl who used to yap my ear off about starfish. I love you"
Asa felt so fucking stupid and lucky and relieved at the same time. Of course he didn't hate her or think she was a slut. And she was so stupid to think that being a slut was a bad thing.
"Denji, can I hug you?"
"Of course"
Asa hugged Denji as tight as she could and they awkwardly walked back to bed. Now is not the time but Asa wanted to know what other similar bad stuff Denji had dealt with in the past, mostly just in case if they were alive so she can give them a beating with what was left of her war devil powers. She is going to make sure no one ever hurts the pretty idiot she is in love with never gets hurt again.
"I love you", Asa said as she and Denji drifted off to sleep in each other's warm embrace
