~Chapter 1~

You could see the lust and hunger in his eyes while he looked down at you.

"I know you want me, Sunshine." He whispered into your ear, his warm breath hitting your skin, "Just say the word and I'm all yours."

Despite all the soft touches and kisses planted all over you and the rough pleasure he gave you that brought you to euphoria, all you thought of, aside from this man, was a single question.

"How did I end up in this situation?"

≪ °❈° ≫

Itto gave you an unsure smile as he got into your car, trying his best to avoid the terrifying glare you had plastered on your tired face. He greeted you while fastening his seatbelt, yet your gaze hasn't left him, which caused the half-oni's shoulders to slump slightly.

"Hey... I said I was sorry." He reasoned. You took a deep breath.

"Arataki Itto..." you started your car, your gaze turning to the road ahead of you, "Do you have any idea what time it is?"

"Uh..." Itto quickly checked the clock that was visible on his phone's lock screen. "It's four eighteen AM!" He smiled.

"Four eighteen AM." You repeated, "Would you mind telling me why you had to get picked up from some random girl's house so damn late in the night?"

"Right! I promised an explanation if you pick me up!" Itto said as he brought his hands together, causing a clapping sound. "So... you remember that girl I met yesterday?"

"The pretty one. With the cute outfit." you sighed tiredly, your drowsy eyes fixed on the road, "Yes, I remember her."

"Yeah. So you see, we both hit it off right away. Personally, I thought she was absolutely perfect. And, you know, we hung around a little bit, had a few drinks. She took me to her place and—"

"Get to the point, Itto." You interrupted the half-oni, too exhausted to hear about whatever was coming next. Itto cleared his throat, quickly apologizing.

"My dear (Y/N), that pretty girl already had a boyfriend -- and I never knew that until he walked onto us earlier. I admit it was scary because he was even taller than me! Can you believe it?!"

"So you had sex with a girl who already was taken." You concluded. Your friend's crimson eyes widened.

"Hey hey, now! I just said I had no idea she had a boyfriend!" Itto retorted, defending himself, "Both you and I know I'd never sleep with a taken girl. It wouldn't be my style."

"Mm." You hummed.

Arataki Itto was not a cheater, nor a playboy. He was just... a man with too many short-termed relationships. The longest relationship he had was with one of your friends, Kujou Sara, or Kujou Tengu as Itto would call her most of the time. It lasted for almost a year and a half, but they both decided that they were better off as friends. That was around two years ago now.

That pattern started ever since freshman year. You've lost count of the number of exes Itto had by now. Some even only lasted for as short as two months.

You'd say that the problem with your crimson-eyed friend was that he was simply too fast when it came to making decisions. He'd never take a moment to think twice before taking action, which was the reason he always puts himself into such situations.

Itto is someone you've known since you were young. You were sure of his problem.

You took a deep breath and continued driving, studying your friend's features from the corner of your eye. With untamed silver hair and dark maroon tips, he somehow managed to look good. Under his bright crimson eyes, he wore red eyeliner, which was now slightly faded due to the current circumstances. Starting from his red eyeliners, oni marks spread down his neck and started to reach his torso, all covered by a tight black button-up shirt, the first few buttons left open to expose his chest. You bit the inside of your cheek.
