[Akito’s heart flutters momentarily at the almost purr-like sound Rui makes. He promptly tries to ignore it.]

…yeah. i will.

…being alone with a human is the worst, i think. i kept thinking tsukasa was gonna stab me in the back that whole time… he didn’t have a reason or anything, it’s just… instincts, i guess.

[Akito gets back from his tour with Tsukasa, exhausted from running around so much.]

rui… hey. i think i met that friend of yours…

- @demon-akito-official

(*rui smiles in surprise at akito's voice- and what he actually says, beaming at the other.*)

ahh, really~? i hope he was nice to you too! he is really sweet, isn't he?

[demon-akito-official]

[Akito almost laughs at Rui’s statement about the cafe.]

rui, that cafe might have been the best thing i’ve done up here. it’s actually where tsukasa paid for me. i went back, if that says anything…

[When Rui grabs his hand, Akito can’t help the small blush that creeps across his face.]

rui…

…i wanna try. i know that much. i’ll try not to be such a downer from now on, heh…

[Akito gets back from his tour with Tsukasa, exhausted from running around so much.]

[demon-akito-official]

…!

…i see.. i guess i can’t blame you.

[Akito looks guilty for a moment, backing down slightly.]

…i’m sorry, rui. i don’t want to tear you away from here. truly. but… it’s hard. trying not to look over my shoulder every few seconds.

i’m glad you’ve found something, but… i’m not sure it’s so easy for me.

[demon-akito-official]

yeah… forgot that humans have to pay for stuff. he paid for me, then offered me a tour of the city.

[Akito sighs, his brows furrowing.]

he was nice, sure, but… only because he thinks we’re human, rui. …i know you’re happy, but i just want you to be careful. ok?

(rui…?)

…ah… i get it.

well… i’m glad you two got along, then.

[Akito tries not to let his new sudden mixed feelings about the human get a hold of him.]

[Akito had decided to stop by the cafe he and Rui had went to again, since his last time was interrupted by his sister. This time he makes it in without issue, managing to order his food successfully. However, he finds himself in trouble when the cashier states the price, and he looks like a fish out of water. He hadn’t even thought to bring money. He barely even knew what money was.]

uh… shit…

- @demon-akito-official

[Tsukasa was behind Akito in line, waiting to give his order to the cashier. He was planning on taking his food to go, wanting to bring Saki and Toya lunch for a special occasion. Imagine his confusion when he sees a situation occurring before him.]

Hm...?

[Tsukasa can see that the guy before him is clearly having trouble paying for their food. No wallet, no money in pocket, nothing. Feeling bad, he decides to change his plans a bit.]

Uh, excuse me? I can pay for his order.

[The cashier seems to be puzzled by Tsukasa's statement.]

Here, let me just...

[Tsukasa takes out his credit card, using it to pay for Akito's order. The cashier asks for his order as well, since he's already in front of the counter.]

[Once Tsukasa gives the cashier his order, he ends up paying for his order as well and is told to wait. This was not how Tsukasa was expecting his afternoon to go.]

#ic: akito

[demon-akito-official]

[Akito follows along as best he can. With how fast Tsukasa moves it’s a little hard to keep up.]

it’s… cool, i guess. i’ve really only been to that pancake place.

[Akito can’t help but be on guard. He keeps glancing at Tsukasa more than his surroundings, or wanting to give the other boy a chance to catch him off guard.]

…never really been to a big city like this. we don’t have much to do where i’m from.

[demon-akito-official]

is that so? i think that might have been my friend, actually… he mentioned something about getting a tour.

…sure. i’ll go.

[Akito has a dreaded feeling he’s going to regret this.]

hm? uh… yeah, i did. with my friend. don’t really know my way around here that well.

[demon-akito-official]

it’s my fault that i couldn’t pay. you don’t need to help me.

[Akito is about to leave the conversation there, but he doesn’t exactly want the humans more upset with him for being “rude”.]

…thank you.

…why’d you do that..?

[demon-akito-official]

rui wants to tell him the truth. by the way

what?! does he realize how bad of an idea that is?!

#ic: akito

[demon-akito-official]

again, i know. trust me.

i just… i don’t wanna force him back down there, ok? he’s happy right now. that’s what matters.

…if that human hurts him, i’ll send him to the underworld myself. the human, not rui.

[Akito had decided to return to the cafe after a few days of consideration, making sure his glamour was foolproof despite the energy it took to keep it up for long periods of time. He sighs as he goes to open the door, immediately crashing headfirst into someone else exiting. He stumbles back, muttering an apology before he realizes who it is.]

….ena?!

- @demon-akito-official

[Ena had to move quick. She had a stolen plate of cheesecake in her hands, it was only a matter of time until they noticed it was gone from display. She got dangerously close to dropping it, having bumped into someone while she went towards the exit. Luckily, she managed to save it in time.]

hey! watch where you’re-

[Ena pauses when she recognizes who she bumped into.]

… oh shit.

#ic: akito

[demon-akito-official]

oi. he’s not stupid. just… overly optimistic.

…i can’t say i disagree. but… apparently he was being mistreated down there too. and if a human’s nicer to him than them, it’s natural he’d want to stay.

what say you about this

wait until he finds out rui’s a demon. then i’ll pass judgement

#ic: akito

[demon-akito-official]

rui exhibited a inhuman trait and the human didn't react badly. yes he doesn't know it's because rui himself is inhuman but he still thought it was cool.

that doesn’t mean anything! humans being weird according to other humans is nothing to how he would react upon finding out that rui is a demon. we’re evil to them. the embodiment of it, even.

#ic: akito

[demon-akito-official]

well, so far, we've had the human finding out rui can purr and not being weirded out by it. he thought it was cool.

that doesn’t mean anything.

#ic: akito

[demon-akito-official]

rui does seem pretty happy, since meeting that guy..

…humans are like that. they lure you in and then stab you in the back. it’s how they catch us.

it’s how they caught me.
