Could I request a pierce x daemon reader who was like on earth before he and his friends got there they kinda just live next to ava

He been kinda my favorite besides Rhys

Pierce X Daemos! Reader

Pairings: Pierce X Reader

Warnings: Angst, Cussing, Fight scene, Pierce saying 'yes' A/N: *clears throat* AHEM AHEM! *clears throat again* Yes - Pierce doesn't speak much and it was known it was always hard to get him to speak up. - Noi though would bother pierce sometimes which worked but Noi would ask pierce if he had stories and would tell some when the others weren't around about him and his right hand when they fought in the battlefield - The both of them unstoppable with eachother as Noi would stare with sparly eyes at the blank faced pierce who explained a battle and how the both of them killed most of the defiers of Asch - Noi would ask Pierce questions yet when Noi asked if Pierce missed ‘his partner’ Pierce would say it was weak that he still would care for his dead partner - Noi frowned nodding listening to him as he said that they had to go now and check on Ava

- Pierce and the other daemos creature when they first went to ava's place smelled something familiar a scent of a fellow daemos but they didn't know where - The five of them wanted to investigate it but needed to follow the spirit - They forgot about the scent entirely after a few days and ere adapting with 'Eauarthhhh' - That was until the five of them saw you enter ava's apartment calling out to the girl "Ava wass up girlieeee- What the fuck" Your eyes were wide as they were still in their Daemos clothes as you were hit off the scent of magic and daemos blood as You paled the five of them standing up straight taking out their weapons - Asch eyes widened as leif spoke up "What the hell..." nearly dropping his sickles when recognizing the famillar face of the so called 'Human' - Soon ava came out of her room "(NAME)!" Y/n held eye contact with pierce the whole time as Y/N gave a shaky smiled "I'll come back another time... yeah yeah" - The five of them shared an stared before Asch tried to demand answers to ava who was confused until Rhys spoke up "That Human is-" Rhys got cut off by Pierce "Daemos..." - Ava was confused and denied it saying that you were like any other person - Everytime you tried to visit you felt like you were being watched which you were by the daemos men but mostly Pierce - You were obviously always try hiding beside Ava even though you were taller then her but it was awkward when maintaing eyecontact mostly with pierce - Ava asked pierce to hand you some treats that she made when she larnt how to bake to try do new hobbies so she made cookies and sent pierce off! - Pierce knocked on your door as you stared at him confused "oh- uhm pierce hello!" You welcomed him in with an awkward smile - He kept silent staring you down once he entered and sat on the couch while he sat on the one infront of you quietly - You were freaking the fuck out as he spoke up "You are one of us" you started to freak out more denying everything as he walked over and bent down to your height and held out his sword "How did you get to this place before us?" He questioned as you were waving your hands around telling him to stop - You decided to kick his chest as he was pushed away by the force

- nobody could move general pierce so when he saw you push him away with great strength his gaze hardened "You think I wouldn't have recognized my right hand?" Pierce stated as You looked away as you slowly sighed raising your hands and showing your f/c horns well horn your left horn was damaged and some part was cut off - "Pierce just listen" You started before he darted towards you with his sword "You have betrayed the prince it is my duty to eliminate all betrayers and enemies even if we were close" "I didn't betray you! you fucking left me out on the field!" "We thought you were dead" "WHO THE FUCK LEAVES THEIR PARTNER OUT ON THE FIELD?! WITHOUT CHECKING!" You shouted summoning a bladed fan weapon in both your hands taking a stance. - Your fans were coloured with f/cs and had elaborate patterns that glowed slightly as your horns and eyes glowed with pierces horns and eyes glowed in return

- Pierce glaring at you in return as you flicked your wrists as the fan slowly started to summon razor sharp projectiles to pierce who dodged them and hopped around your apartment the both of you shouting at each other well more like you shouting at him while he was slowly losing his patience - You quickly kick away from his attacks, and as he approaches again, you send your fan flying towards him. He raises his sword to block the attack, but the projectile manages to slip through his defense, scoring a direct hit. The razor sharp projectiles continue to fly through the air, which Pierce is able to dodge, but they still manage to cause several cuts. - "Pierce listen to me ACK- WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU AIM FOR MY NECK ASSHOLE?! I GET YOU LIKED MARKING ME BUT NOT WITH YOUR SWORD- HOLY SHIT WAIT!" You start to shout as he charges forward with his sword before pinning you against the floor the cookies ava got you long gone and probably fucking ruined - "Good job you win... You gonna kill me by hand" You glared at pierce as you stared at your former lover "This is the most I ever got you to speak" You snickered as he hardened his grip onto his sword "Do it" "Don't rush me" You glared up at him as you slightly made eye contact with him eyes softening - You stared at him as he slowly loosened his touch on his sword and laid his head onto your shoulder gripping onto you - As you froze for a moment before you clinged onto him tightly sobbing loudly as he kept quiet only shedding a singular tear as he held onto you in return Im so not sorry for this - Bright

Hey! Idk if you do requests but if you do do you think you could do a platonic my inner demons x teen reader? She lives with Ava and (projecting cus why cope when silly demon men) had a pretty shitty life before that and had issues opening up to people so maybe after one particular night she broke down and idk but I’ve had this idea of Leif and Asch watching tv into the night, just imagine them as older brother figures as the reader is just slumped on one of them after a really shifty day but finally admits to themselves that they accept and trust the guys and found family troupe lol

LMFAO SORRY THIS IS A LOT I HAVE A LOT OF IDEAS

Ofc I do requests! And this is just an overall platonic one as you asked and I hope this pleases you! If I missed or messed up something do tell me! <3

Summary: My inner demons boys x teen!reader (platonic)

You live with ava and the daemos boys and finally show that you trust them and their like your older brothers.

Tw:SLIGHT angst(?)

Big demon brothers!

One night you were just in your own room and thinking back on your past and it was upsetting you. It cause you to be on the verge of tears.

Trying to think of a way to cheer yourself up you think maybe you could go find Pierce and see if maybe you could get some head pats from him. But remembering it's really late it may not be the best idea and you could upset and just decided that all the bad memories and thoughts would go away in the morning.

When you wake up to your alarm the next morning you get ready and do your daily routine and head to work. As you head out of your room you find Noi sitting on the kitchen counter talking to Ava.

"Morning Y/N." Ava says with a yawn. Usually she isn't up this early but it seems Noi had somthing or other to talk to her about. Some how Noi noticed your still slightly off from last night and asks if your okay. You reply saying your fine and hurry out the door so not to have any of the more demanding Daemos boys (*cough* Asch *cough*) get up.

While you worked all you could only think of was the boys and how close you all got. They were kinda like your older brothers! They treated you like your their own flesh and blood even if your human and them Daemos. But thats silly. They probably just see you and Ava as prisoners. Nothing more.

It was just a bit after the sunsetting when you finally got home. Ava had ordered food from the nearest restaurant that delivered so when you got home you found all the boys trying said food. Rhys was asking Ava questions on how it was made and who were the 'servants' that brought this food.

Leif was the first one to notice you come in.

"Hey Y/N." He says showing off his sharp teeth in a grin. Pierce gives you a small smile. And Asch grumbles "You took your time coming back, prisoner." You grab yourself a portion of the food it was one of your favorite foods. Noi asks "So what did you do today Y/N?" And you came up with somthing to make your job seem more exciting then it actually is. In doing so you entrap all the boys in your story and they seem very interested and asked questions here and there. They seemed to actually care about what your saying. Even if they all have odd ways of showing it.

After you all finish eating Ava ends up going to bed early and leaves you with the boys. You guys are watching that socky show that the boys seem to adore! While you sit in the middle of Leif and Asch on the couch you let your mind wander.

Slowly some of the boys go to bed. Pierce leaves with a quiet goodnight and gives you some more lovely headpats. Noi gets sleepy slouching on his place on the edge of the couch and you finally get him to hed to his room he gives you a sleepy smile and mumbles a goodnight and heading to bed. Then finally Rhys heads to bed too and tells you three not to stay up to late, cause he is the sensible one. Asch scoffs and Leif shrugs it off. They were to into Socky the sock puppet. Rhys sighs and bids you goodnight. Then its just you three. As it gets closer to midnight you end up slouching and leaning on Leifs shoulder.

He notices after a minute. He is kinda confused about but he remembers how Pierce always pat your head and believes maybe thats what he should do in this situation. He may not have the best headpats but they were still nice.

So as you drift off to sleep you think of these Daemos. Who seem to care about you. Who seem to see you more then a prisoner. More then just a friend. Your like their own flesh and blood. Your part of their found family. They care about you even when others won't. Their your brothers. No matter what!

The end.

Okay this is like my first request so I hope you like it! If I didn't do it as you hoped please let me know and I can try to re-do it! Anyways it's like three in the morning for me. Goodnight/day to you all!<3

I was 1,000 % was going to do this, also I didn't want any confusion so I made it in multiple ways 😅

Brotp: Asch, Pierce ,and Leif- This three in my opinion have the biggest bro relationship ever.

OTP: Pierce x Ava, Noi x Lorelai, Asch x Ocs, Leif x Ocs, and Rhys x Ocs- Yeah for OTP's I had to. The only ship on here that I really liked, which is Pierce x Ava, everything else is meh... To me...

Love: Asch x Noi and Leif x Rhys- So... I'm not saying I'm against the guys being shipped together I just don't see them together like that. However, I do think these two ships are really cute for some reason! 😊

Like: Asch x Ava and Rhys x Noi- I do like to mention that at some point in my life, I accidentally shipped Asch and Ava together but stop liking it some where down the road. As for Rhys and Noi, they just have a "I understand your pain" bond, again to me.

Neutral: Asch x Rhys, Leif x Noi, Pierce x Noi, Leif x Ava, and Rhys x Ava- I really don't know what to say... I don't hate these ships but they're not my favorite either.

Dislike: Asch x Leif and Pierce x Rhys‐ I really don't like those two ships that much. I think it's because of how Asch and Leif treat each other in the series that makes me not really like the ship. As for Rhys and Pierce, they don't interact with each other like at all with just the two of them, in the entire series, yeah so no...

Hate: Pierce x Leif- they give off a whole brothers vibe or an we hate each other, there's no "love" between them

NOTP: Noi x Ava- I can make a whole rant post (and I will) of why I don't like these two together, but to sum it all up, I just think it destroys Noi as a character if his in a relationship with Ava

I also did not make this post to be like which ships are superior than the others, this is just a silly little post I wanted to do for fun, and I hope you guys like it 💚💚💚

#aphmau #aphmau my inner demons #noi my inner demons #ava my inner demons #lorelai my inner demons #pierce my inner demons #my inner demons rhys #asch my inner demons #leif my inner demons #ships #shipping chart #something I did for fun #💚💚💚

Leif x Reader | Savior

Synopsis: Leif has another nightmare about his past. It's up to you to comfort him.

Word count: 640

—————

It was quiet in the apartment. The clock was ticking, and the bustling city continued to illuminate the skyline while you worked tirelessly on your Physics 101 assignment. You let out a yawn and checked your phone.

2:38 AM

Ouch, College was tougher than you had anticipated, especially physics... you heaved a sigh and left your room and headed to the kitchen. It couldn't hurt to make yourself another cup of coffee, right? There'd be another 4 hours before you would finish studying for your exams. Or maybe you should call it a night? Perhaps against your better judgement, you decided to turn the Keurig machine on and brewed a fresh latté. The aroma wafted through the kitchen as your eyes scanned the living room. You stopped at the red marker by where the Daemos resided.

"Not good! Not good!" A voice called out through the room. It was enough to draw your focus away from the physics textbook you were reading. Noi rushed out of the wall in a panic. Tears threatened to spill down his cheeks as he ran to you. His hands clutched yours. "_____(Name), please help us!" Noi choked through his tears. "It's Leif! We can't wake him!"

You coughed out your coffee in surprise. "What!?" Your eyes grew in shock as you jumped out of the chair. Noi led you through the wall and around different hallways before finally stopping in front of an open door.

The others were gathered around the bed as you heard whimpering coming from the center of the room. You rushed into there faster than the wind could carry you. "WHAT HAPPENED!?" You shouted before pushing Rhys out of the way. You took a mental note to apologize to him.

"D-don't leave... please...." Leif groaned. A nightmare... you took a deep breath before sitting down on the bedside. You remembered what your mother would do in this situation. She'd pat your head and embrace you in her arms and tell you everything's ok. She even did that for you last week when you failed your Chemistry exam.

You turned to the others. "I'll take care of him, please get some rest." You ordered them to leave so you could find a way to comfort the daemos in bed.

"Shh...." you began. "Leif, if you can hear me... I'm here for you, so please wake up and I can help you...." you softly cooed while stroking his hair. The tears flowing down his cheeks came for a stop as Leif's breathing calmed down.

It wasn't long before his eyes shot open. Leif has finally awakened from his nightmare. "Good morning, Princess," you smiled at him before turning serious. "Are you ok?" Leif shook his head before casting a glance to the floor.

"I had a nightmare..." You were well aware. "I felt so... alone..."

"Do you wanna talk about it?" You helped him sit up and shot him a look of concern. He heaved a sigh.

"When I was younger... I was abandoned... I was left to rot... I'm all alone in this world..." his voice cracked as he choked back remaining tears. You ran your hand up and down his back.

"Shh... it's ok, I'm here now. I'll listen to any concerns, any woes..."

"Then promise me... promise me you'll never leave me behind..." he shook. You pulled him into a tight embrace.

"I promise... neither will your partners leave you... we all love you..." Leif's tears continued to stream down his face as he rested his head in the crook of your neck. His hands wrapped around your figure. He was truly grateful for you: his guardian angel, his savior.... you gave him the strength to continue in this world.

Conversation

There's more

The entire main cast: *Staring up at a beautifully starry sky in the park in silence*

Ava: It really is a beautiful night huh?

Asch: *awkward silence*

Rhys:

Pierce:

Leif:

Johnny: *sleeps as cricket noises play in the background

Noi: ...Sometimes... I used to have these dreams where I'd kill Asch, wear his skin as a daemos jumpsuit and take his life.

...

They are nice dreams.

Leif: Dude,bro, you have never turned me on more than you have right now in my LIFE.

Ava: Wait.....WHAT THE FUCK!? I-...I-...wah?Why?I-...but...Noi...I-

Asch:*with a self satisfied smirk* WElL It's only natural. He IS a lower ranking daemos after all. One with good tastes might I add, for he dreams about taking my place instead of my-*He goes on and on for a bit while Ava just stands there very confused and CONCERNED about how okay all of them are with this, *

Pairing: Pierce(MID) x M! Reader

Warnings: Suggestive(?)

Request: ✔

It was a (not)peaceful day at Ava's apartment with Asch and Leif fighting over what they wanted to watch as Rhys was reading a book and Noi was sleeping against Pierce on the couch. M\N then walked into the apartment with bags of groceries, Pierce laid Noi down on the sofa before walking to his boyfriend M\N "I'm glad your back M\N." Pierce said calmly as he watched M\N put groceries away "Your adorable you know that Pierce?" M\N said as Pierce blushed slightly from the compliment "Thank you M\N" Pierce said flustered as Ava walked out of her room running to M\N "OH MY GOD M\N YOUR BACK" Ava said as she hugged M\N tightly making Pierce slightly jealous "Yes I'm back Ava it wasn't that long" M\N said hugging Ava back, Ava snickered "That's what she said-" Ava said quickly "AVA" M\N said giggling as he smacked Ava's head gently "What did I tell you about that damn joke?!" M\N said giggling as Pierce grabbed his arm "I require M\N for a little bit" He said as he dragged M\N to the deamos palace thing in the wall pulling him to his bedroom pushing M\N through the door and pinning him against the wall and lowering down to whisper in M\N's ear "You think you can get away with that huh?" Pierce said teasingly.

I'll let y'alls imagine go wild

With You Till The End

Ship: Ava X Noi

Summary: Ava has been dealing with some deeply-rooted fears lately, and it’s taking a toll on her sleeping habits. Luckily, Noi is here to save the day...or, night.

A/N: Hey, babies first MID fic! X3 We’re kicking off with the first fic I ever completely finished for this series. Gotta appreciate a pair of flustered and clueless dummies in love, eh? Fair warning, this was little over 8 pages on a google doc, so its...longer, I think I can say? Regardless, I hope you guys enjoy!

------

“We’re leaving today.”

Crash

“...what?”

Ava’s voice comes out as barely more than a breath, feeling as though she’s just been full-force punched in the stomach. Something inside her twists sharply and tightens. No way. She couldn’t have heard that right-

“We have to leave.” Rhys’ voice repeats behind her, sounding almost...annoyed. Annoyed? Why would he be annoyed? What had she done wrong?

“But-” She presses the heels of her hands into her already watering eyes. The words she’s looking for drift aimlessly in her head. Everything sounds like she’s hearing it from underwater, the violent rhythm of her heart becoming crashing waves that shake her to her core. “-but the magic crisis...and I thought...thought-”

“You thought we’d sit around here any longer than we absolutely had to? Please,” It’s Leif’s voice now. Through clouded eyes, she can see him leering at her, “the crisis is over. There’s nothing else for us here.”

“As Leif said.” Asch now. “I have a kingdom to return to. There’s no point in toying around here any longer.”

“I-” Her throat seems to constrict to the point where she can hardly breath. She’s taking in air too hard, too fast. The world in her peripheral seems to darken. At first, she wonders if she’s going to faint again. But it isn’t a trick of the mind- around them, the world honestly and truly disappears, leaving them all stranded in an open and black void. And yet, they don’t react. The boys...her boys. They only stand there, staring at her. Under the pressure of their combined gaze, she fumbles, “Can’t you just...please, I don’t…….Pierce?”

The heavy frame of the somber man shifts towards her slightly, but he doesn’t even grace her with a glance.

“...Noi…?”

He, at least, looks at her. But she almost immediately wishes he hadn’t, because all she finds in his eyes is pity.

“Don’t make this harder than it has to be Princess Ava.” Rhys once again takes over, watching her with an eyebrow raised, “You didn’t actually think we would stay here forever did you? We do have our own lives to return to.”

“Please...I’m sorry, but please- please don’t go!” She cries out.

But her words fall on deaf ears. Already they’ve turned away, taking their first steps deeper into the empty expanse. Beginning to leave her. Beginning to disappear forever.

“No-! Wait!” She tries to call out to them. Tries to convince them to turn back. But all of a sudden, she can’t. It’s as if all the air has been sucked from her lungs. All that she can force out is a desperate heaving as she sprints after them, screaming muted pleas. “I don’t want to be alone again!”

Running in a swimming pool. That’s what Ava is reminded of as she’s putting all of her force into growing even a step closer to their receding figures. Her feet slip against the ground as if there is no friction at all. In fact, she realizes, she not only isn’t moving forward; in actuality, she’s being dragged back. A cold, unbreakable force seems to wrap itself around her entire body. It draws her farther and farther into the now rippling floor, and panic seems to emanate from her very soul, warping the air around her. Still, she can’t seem to tear hear eyes away from the small specks in the distance that were once her only company- no, her only friends. In her distress, it takes her a moment to hear the sound of someone calling her name.

“Ava..? Ava. Ava!” It seems to echo from every direction of the inky blackness. She sucks in a breath to beg for help, but the quicksand beast has already swallowed her up to her ears. The voice calls again, its alarm seeming to mimic her own, “Ava! Ava wake up!”

Another moment passes and then...she does.

Ava wakes up to her dark, October night-chilled room, opening her eyes to find the familiar white ceiling staring back at her. Through instinct alone she sucks in a rapid breath of the stale air. Her fingers ache, and, upon realizing that she has been clawing deep into the mattress, she relaxes them, embracing the pins and needles that shoot along their tips as the blood flow returns. Something tickles down along her cheeks, and it doesn’t take her long to work out that it's the same hot and salty tears she’d been shedding in her dream. Not dream. Nightmare. A single hiccup escapes her before she can regain control over her emotions. And when she finally does, she pushes herself up with nothing more than a sigh.

“Another one. This is happening way too often to be healthy.”

“...Ava?”

A gentle voice falling out from the space beside her causes Ava to jump and gasp. She turns her head towards a silhouetted figure next to her, rose pink eyes squinting as her vision adjusts to the lightless room. Eventually, she’s able to make out a figure whose general presence allows her a wave of reassurance. She breathes out softly.

“Oh, it’s you Noi.”

As she says it, the curtains are drifted apart by a draft, and for just a brief moment a bit of moonlight is able to creep in and catch on the Daemos’ horns. They light up into a faint, watery orange glow; one that remains for several beats even after the light is gone, dimming like a dying ember. Still sifting through the haze of sleep, Ava finds herself spacing out, staring at them with consideration.

Noi, with his enhanced vision in the dark, takes full notice of her line of focus, and feels his face heat up in the way that has become so familiar to him as of late.

“U-uhm...Princess Ava? Are you alright?”

“Hm? Oh! I-I uh-!” Blinking and snapping back to reality, the ravenette, in realizing what she’d done, suddenly becomes invested in a loose piece of fuzz, “S-sorry. I’m okay.”

“But-”

“Really Noi, I’m fine!” She flinches as she cuts him off. As if that wasn’t the most telling reaction ever. Still, she tries to show him a reassuring grin, hoping to throw him off the subject, “Hey uh, not to be rude, but why are you even in my room? Were you watching me sleep or something?

The throws in a small chuckle for effect at the end, but from what facial features she can make out- and the poorly muffled gasp that escapes him- she’d pretty much hit the mark. Part of her says she should be angry, but beneath the cover of darkness she really can’t help but to give in to the small twitch at the edge of her lips. She’d be lying if she said that she doesn't appreciate the boys checking in on her.

“I’m sorry!” Noi squeaks out nervously, “I didn’t mean to go against your orders, I just like to-to make sure you’re alright sometimes, and I just h-happened to be in here when you started talking in while you were sleeping, and-and at first I was just going to leave, but then…” Here, his flow of words seems to begin failing him. Ava tilts her head in a silent encouragement. After a few seconds, he continues, albeit much more composed than before, “...then you started crying. I didn’t really know what to do...the tee-vee mentor says that humans cry when they are sad, and I don’t...I didn’t want you to be sad. I thought maybe if I woke you up…”

As Noi trails off for a final time, Ava feels something in her chest wrench. He’d been worried about her. He’s still worried.

“Of course he is. He’s Noi. He worries more than all of the others combined it seems.”

And yet she can’t seem to find anything to say that might help ease his fretting. How do you explain a nightmare to someone who believes that dreams themselves are merely a source of magic? And even more so than that, how could she possibly admit what said nightmare was about? She won’t do it. She won’t tell him something that would certainly either drive him away or guilt him into staying. It just wouldn’t be fair. And yet, isn’t it even more unfair to leave him wondering? To look him in the eyes and lie after he was so kind?

Ava just doesn’t know.

And as an unintentional result of her inner conflict, she ends up just sitting there, silent and unreadable. Once again, she’d spaced out staring at Noi. The poor daemos fidgets under her silent scrutiny, watching as- unnoticed by Ava- her brows furrow together in deep thought. He immediately assumes that she’s going to kill him, and currently she’s only deciding on how. Why else would she seem so conflicted? But to his slowly settled confusion, she never says a word. Never even responds. Now it's his turn to frown.

“Do you...want me to leave?” He asks timidly.

The mild echo of her passed horror is enough to shock her out of her struck-stupid state. Panic strikes like a hot iron, and her hand jerks forward on the bed sheet, not quite making a grab for his wrist, but landing very close to where his own lies. A far to loudly yelped “No!” escapes her before she can quiet it. Her own voice seems to bounce violently off the walls of the room. Before it even fades, her cheeks flare up, and she wishes she could just curl up and pass out right then.

“N-no.” She repeats in a much weaker tone, “Please don’t...I mean, y-you don’t have to. If-If you want to y-you can of course!” Her own nervous laugh here makes her wince,”Bu-but uhm, I was just-I mean-ugh, sorry. I was just thinking about...things.”

“What kind of things?”

“Dammit! Why would I say that?”

“Oh, uh-uh...well it was uhm…” She gives an unconvincing cough, buying herself a few precious moments to concoct a lead-away. “You said earlier that you heard me talking in my sleep right?”

“Hm, oh yeah?”

“W-what did you hear me say?”

Perfect. That should be enough to keep him nearby for a little while. Tension eases from her body as he seems to settle back again into his place next to her. And perhaps her mind and the night is playing tricks on her, but Ava could swear that he’d come back just a little bit closer than he had been before. At the very least, she now is much more aware of the mere foots length of distance between them.

“Well…” He starts, facing down at the bed with careful thoughtfulness, “I really couldn’t make out much. A lot of what I heard was just you yelling the same few words over and over again.”

“And those words were..?”

Now his eyes come to her, gleaming with worry.

“No.”

“No?”

“That was most of it. No and please wait. And you...you said the others’ names a couple of times, but a lot of the time you were calling out for me. At first you just sounded really scared. But then you started crying and I felt really sad for some reason. So that’s why I…”

“...why you woke me up.”

He nods. Both human and daemos seem to slip into a momentary loss of words as an air of unspoken emotions surrounds them. Noi never once releases Ava’s gaze, causing any sense of proper thought she might have had fizzle out like a sparkler dipped in water. He clearly wants an explanation. Even more so, he deserves one. But she still can’t bring herself to answer his unspoken question. Would he judge her? Surely not...surely empathetic Noi would at least feign understanding.

Wouldn’t he?

“I’m sorry.” She ends up whispering lamely.

She fully expects him to try and leave again. And she’s sure that, despite her fears, she’ll let him go this time. Forcing him to stay again would only be cruel- especially considering he doesn’t even know why he’s here now.

What she certainly doesn’t expect is the feeling of his warm and gentle hand coming to lay atop her own. As he links their fingers together, Ava can imagine her face being the physical portrayal of an error screen, and she gives a mild squeak.

“I don’t like it when you cry Ava.”

Whether it was his intention or not, with that one sentence he manages to completely shatter the emotional dam.

A hard lump forms in Ava’s throat that becomes impossible to swallow away, and it gives way to the hiccups that begin bubbling their way to the surface. Those same tears from before- which had sat poised at the corners of her eyes for some time now- now spill over in fast-falling drops. They trace paths down her cheeks and paint her lips with their salty taste. Before she can even comprehend what she’s done, Ava has fallen those few meager inches forward into Noi, who uses one hand to brace himself up against the mattress as her weight nearly pushes him down. Her arms latch around his neck, and she buries her face into his shoulder. Suddenly, all of her previous terror and sadness and grief is escaping her in heavy sobs. For a few seconds, he’s startled and tense. But then he shifts their combined weight so that- following through with an instinct he never would have guessed he had- he can return her embrace. With one hand, he rubs comforting circles into her back as she gathers her breath for an admission.

“You all were leaving me.” She says finally, “You-hic- you didn’t even look back. You s-hic-aid there was nothing for you h-hic-hi-ere. Like I didn’t-hic-didn’t mean anything to you, and I just…” She pauses through a series of shuddering breaths, “I’m just so scared of being alone again.”

The soothing motion on her back quick halt as she feels him twitch beneath her. Ever so quietly, so far under his breath, he mutters something almost angrily. Something she can’t make out through her whimpers and sore-throated coughs. He moves slowly beneath her, not pushing her away, but instead trying to bring her in closer. And through a bit of shuffling on both of their parts, they eventually end up fitted together like two slightly awkward puzzle pieces. Curled up against Noi, with her head tucked carefully beneath his chin, Ava wraps her arms around her stomach to make it easier for him to envelop her in a strong and protective grasp. To anyone who might have seen them, they would have found him cradling her, almost like one would a child. She- although still sniffling- is now more preoccupied with being overwhelmed by the rapid beating of her own heart and the dizzying heat that spreads over her face than any fear that still simmered within her. It doesn’t stop her from gripping tightly to his shirt; although at this point, neither of them could move away if they wanted to. Not that that’s the case by any means.

Pressing her cheek to his chest, she can feel his own uneven rhythm.

“You won’t be.” He murmurs determinedly into her ear, awakening goosebumps across her skin, “I promise. I’ll never leave you for as long as I live.”

“But...what about Daemos? Don’t you have to go back soon?” She asks warily.

“You are more important to me than any position on Daemos.”

A small part of Ava wants to warn against believing him. But being wrapped up the way she is; hearing the way he speaks that promise-as though he’s swearing this to himself as much as he is her- she can’t help but trust that sort of finality. A powerful, electric sort of feeling blossoms in her chest and spreads across her body, and it takes her a moment to recognize it as love. Pure, unfiltered love. It encompasses every inch of her, inside and out, causing her heart to swell. It overtakes her. It controls her.

It controls her as she slowly pulls her head back to gaze up into Noi’s amber-lit eyes. Controls her as her fingers unclutch from his shirt and splay out across his pounding chest. Controls her as her hands snake back up around his neck, just as they had been before. Except now, there is no sadness. No fear. No tears. Just love, pushing her on as she tries to bring his face down towards her own.

And she isn’t the only one it’s driving.

As Noi gives and brings their foreheads together, he’s nearly shaking with emotion. He’d never felt this much...well, anything before. For anyone. The entire realm of feeling had just flown past any possible expectations he could have had. One of his hands comes up to gingerly...so, so gingerly trace down her cheek and across her jaw, before coming down to cup her chin. There it lingers, holding her like one might hold a priceless artifact that they’re afraid to break. Meaning drifts between them just as the moon’s rays drift in the space before Earth- in a confident, dancing sort of way.

“Ava…” Noi breathes shakily.

Nose to nose now, they both close their eyes in anticipation.

“Thank you.”

The words hardly have a breath’s moment to fall from Ava’s lips before she presses them to Noi’s.

She starts off patiently, giving him plenty of time to move away if he were ever going to. But he doesn’t, which is the best sort of sign she could ever hope to receive. That is until he takes it upon himself to deepen the kiss; or caress, although the human definition of that term is also needed at the moment, so perhaps kiss will do. With the hand under her chin, Noi’s thumb continues to brush against and caress Ava’s skin. The one that had been resting on her back now pushes them more tightly together. If life were a movie, then this would be the scene where small fireworks erupt into the air behind them.

It has to have only lasted a few seconds, but when Ava falls away the surging feeling in her stomach certainly doesn’t. So close now, she can make out the mystified expression on his face when their eyes open. Briefly, she feels utterly ashamed for letting her emotions get the better of her, and she wishes she could just curl back up into his arms and die. Her eyes drop from his face and fixate on the small line of light sneaking into the room from beneath the curtains. It’s the unique yellow-grey that comes with the first hints of sunrise. Dawn will be here soon enough.

She figures she should say something...anything really. Her attention flickers back to him, only to find that he still stares at her with the same wonder-struck expression.

“Noi?” He jerks to attention as she tentatively calls out to him. She recognizes that he’d been lost in his own thoughts, “I’m sorry, I- EEP!”

Instead of finishing her apology, Ava instead ends up giving a startled yelp. Noi, now snapped out of whatever trance he’d been in, has suddenly thrown himself backwards into Ava’s pile of pillows, taking Ava, still held tightly in his arms, down with him. Her eye’s squeeze shut as they fall the short distance into the feathery mess, and when she opens them again the first thing she sees is his beaming expression. Before she can even raise a question, she’s cut off by a sudden onslaught of nuzzles from her most beloved carrot-top, who proceeds to laugh boyishly to himself. Beneath the shower of affection, Ava can feel doubt get high-kicked from her soul and is immediately replaced with a happy sense of amused confusion. Soon, she finds herself unable to fight back her own wave of bubbly giggles.

“N-Noi!” She chirps between bouts of laughter. After a moment, she’s able to bring his violent snuggling to a pause by once again pressing their foreheads together. Nose scrunched and smiling, she asks, “What are you doing?”

“I’m not sure!” He twitters back, not at all deterred by this fact, “I’m just really happy!”

Ava has to admit that she too is in a pretty fantastic mood at this point. All of her previous frights are impossible to recall when right here, right now, she has Noi. Noi, whose uncontainable joy is coaxing forth all of her favorite feelings. Noi, who even now is trying to cuddle her into oblivion. Noi, who cares for her so much that he woke her up from a nightmare despite the fact that (he believes) it could have gotten him killed- just because he couldn’t stand to see her cry.

All the love that floods her petite frame makes her wonder how she doesn’t just burst on the spot.

“You know what?” She finally whispers, planting a quick peck on his cheek, “Me too.”

She feels him give a slight gasp as she steals his lips one more time, just for a moment. And in the next moment, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, she’s curled up against his side, her head resting on his shoulder. When he lifts up a hand to comb through her hair, she finds herself sinking into a deep, coddled, and sleepy sort of feeling. She does try to fight it for a few minutes, but in her defense, she hasn’t slept very well tonight, and the fast-pumping adrenaline that had fueled her up until now is beginning to transform. It molds and reshapes itself into something lovely and heavy. Something that weighs down her limbs and drops her focus into a velvety haze. Tucking her chin to her chest, she manages to whisper:

“I love you.”

The last thing she remembers is a kiss being pressed to the top of her head. Then, she allows herself to drift off to sleep under the cover of his faithful watch.

Had she lasted just a few beats more, she might have heard his reply.

“I love you too Ava.”

***

(Two Hours Later)

In the earliest part of morning, Noi finds himself still lying half-awake on Ava’s bed, staring down at the sleeping human in his arms. In truth, he’d tried to sneak away not long after she’d falled asleep, simply out of fear for the others finding them in such a compromising position. However, she had been- and still was- clinging so tightly to him that he couldn’t think of a way to do so without waking her. Which was the last thing he wants to do. And, if he’s being honest with himself, he doesn’t care much what the others might think of him. In his mind, all of tonight was a far greater achievement than he could ever be brought down from.

Watching her molten dark hair move in slight shifts and falls around her with every slowly rising breath, he’s filled with some feeling. The same strange new feeling he’s been experiencing for the better half of the night. Thinking in Daemos terms, he reasons that there isn’t really a proper word for it. So much more powerful than the human word ‘affection’, and yet not exactly the same as ‘love’. Although, that is certainly present as well, lingering in the background of this nameless emotion.

“Maybe,” he ponders, “it's something I just haven’t learned yet.”

He hopes that to be the case because, he’s decided, he wants to try and understand all the strange sensations he’s been having since he arrived on Earth. They’re far too overwhelming to ignore at this point. And he fully plans to stay true to his word. He won’t leave Ava behind in the end. If that makes him an outcast to his own kind, then so be it. He’ll fight whoever he needs to, if only to stay by her side.

Because he never wants her to feel afraid or alone. Never again.
