Mica's POV

With a heavy sigh I step out of my room. Isaac is back in his apartment and Aoi is fast asleep on the couch. I look around my new house. The main door and the living room are connected by a small passage. Once you enter the living room the main balcony is on the left and the kitchen door is on the extreme right. A little ahead of the kitchen are our rooms. Eu and my rooms are located opposite each other. Both rooms are super spacious and both have bathrooms and mini balconies. It’s one of the reasons why I agreed on living here beside the fact that I was literally begged by Eu because he wanted to live with the demon again.

“Took you long enough,” Eu is sitting on the couch in the living room and stuffing his face with marshmallows. “Ew! Don’t talk with your mouth full.” I curl my nose with disgust because Eu opens his mouth wide to expose the slimy food within.

Why boys are so gross!?

Whatever! I'm too preoccupied to teach this monkey table manners.

I trail off thinking about my past. I sit next to him, “Eu, I will never find true love. No one will be willing to love me. Once they learn the truth about who I really am, they will run away to the other side of the planet.” I say it while stretching my hand out to point the other side of the planet.

Of course! Eu is aware of my little secret. He is the only person in this world I could trust my secret with. I told Eu my secret right after mum came back from the hospital. I had become supremely snappy and Eu was really worried for me. In my defense I was only 14 and didn’t know better. After I told him the truth I expected Eu to avoid me or make funny of me but I was wrong. He became my biggest strength.

He is my refugee. I run to him for shelter. I can pour my heart out to him and he swallows everything up. He is always there to protect me from my dark and wounded self. He is the reason why I haven’t given up on life. He is to me what Isaac is to him. I love Eu and not in a romantic way obviously, he is more like a brother to me. Sure I have mum and dad but because of my past I can never really open up to them. He is the best-est friend anyone can ever ask for.

Eu tries his best to shallow the marshmallows all at once which he fails at miserably and chock. I roll my eyes and fetch him a glass of water. I pat Eu’s back really hard to stop him from chocking. “Oww! Oww! Stop, it hurts!” Eu begs and then glares at me. You know the glare which says I'm all bark and no bite.

“Mica, don’t say that.” Eu says gently. I nuzzle my face in Eu’s chest and Eu wraps his hands around my back. His warmth is very comforting. I can feel tears welling up in the corner of my eyes and they start rolling down my face. “Eu, I don’t wanna die alone...,” I felt a huge lump form at the back of my throat. I don’t bother hiding my pain and I let my emotions take control of me.

Eu starts rubbing my back in circle to comfort me. I nuzzle some more into his comfortable embrace. “Mica, please stop crying,” I hear Eu’s gentle voice again. I nod and focus my attention on Eu’s hand that is trying to calm me. “Mica, you will find someone. This world is too big. Someone somewhere is eagerly waiting for you, to meet you and spend their entire life with you. Your fate is tied to them. Your soul mate. The one that is just made for you. The one that was placed on this planet to become one with you. There will be times when you’d want to run away from them but they will tie you down in a really strong bond that even the Gods will not be able to break.” I look up at Eu with a smile. He always knows what I need to hear.

“Really?” I ask him becoming a little hopefully. Eu smiles smugly, “after all you and I can't be the only weirdos in this world, right?” We start laughing when the main door opens. I look at the door and roll my eyes. “Definitely! Because the last one is your ‘Zak-nii’. I'm soooo doomed!” I drawl. I point towards the thing that just walked into our apartment, “nice nightgown, Isaac.” I look at Isaac with reproach.

Isaac is wearing light green pjs which look more like a jump suit with a red pretzel printed on it. Isaac puts his hands on chest and says like he means it, “I really like pretzel!” “Zak-nii I like them,” the idiot with brother complex gives Isaac a thumbs up. I roll my eyes and go back to resting my head on Eu’s chest.

I can’t help but smile remembering Eu’s words. I close my eyes while tuning out the Oyama brothers voices. ‘Even the Gods would not be able to break!’ I like that.

I hear a yelp and open my eyes to see Aoi running in circles around the couch while Isaac is trying to catch her. “She is so cute,” I say while admire my bag of sweetness. “Kawaii! But Zak-nii does look weird while running in that nightgown. Baka!” Eu’s nose is curled up in disgust. I roll my eyes at his excessive use of Japanese. “Mica, Eu lets go to my apartment. I ordered pizza,” Isaac’s smile is as warm as ever. Isaac lifts Aoi in his arms who is unable to contain her laughter.

I wait for everyone to leave the apartment before locking it. “Hurry up slowpoke or I'm going to eat all of it,” I hear Eu call from the other side of the lobby. I smile and lean against the door and softly whisper to myself.

“Eu, I really am doomed.”

I'm in love with the demon.
