Touch Me

>6<

•Azrail P.O.V•

"Touch me and we'll see." Her words leave me stunned.

I move my finger closer to her, the silence was deafening. The tension in the room was suffocating. Both of our minds are racing with the same thought.

What if last time was just luck and something happens this time?

Finally, I allow my pinky to touch her, she lets out a small gasp and I pull away looking at her.

"Is something wrong?" I quickly ask, worried that I just signed her death certificate.

Aisha shakes her head, her chest going up and down as she breathes. "Sorry, I forgot how to breathe for a second."

I look at her dumbfounded while she just smiles at me. "Stop being so scared,"

She grabs my hand with hers and I try to pull away but she stops me. "See nothing is happening."

"Yeah, nothing."

We both stay quiet, not breaking eye contact. "Feels nice doesn't it," She gesturing at our interlocked hands.

I nod. The warm feeling was extremely comfortable. I never realized how much I missed skin-to-skin contact until now.

"C-can we stay like this?" I stutter out, my cheeks heating up when the words left my mouth.

Before I could take it back, she nods. "Let's make it better, lay back."

I gulp and follow her direction. I lay back on the bed and watch her actions, already missing the warmth from our handholding.

She gets on the bed and lay her head on me. I watch her take my hand and put it around her. When she's done adjusting us, she looks up at me and gives me a big squeeze.

"Let's cuddle."

I nod. Too scared to say anything, enjoying the interaction.

•Aisha P.O.V•

My phone ringing wakes me up. I groan, searching around and picking up. "Hello."

"Hi honey, did I wake you up?"

"Hi ma, whats-up."

"Just checking to make sure you ate, I'm staying in the city with your father today so I won't be coming home till tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll go get something to eat now," I mumble. We say our goodbyes and I focus on the warm body next to me and try to go back to sleep.

Wait.

My eyes open and I look at the chest in front of me.

I quickly move back and gasp, Azrail was still sleeping next to me and by the looks of it our body was intertwined pretty nicely. I let a sigh of relief when I noticed we were both clothes, and the memories of what happened early rushed back to me.

I thought I did something stupid again.

I gather my stuff and make my way out of his room, giving the sleeping boy one last glance before closing the door. I make my way out the door to put on my shoes.

"Leaving so soon?" The voice of Azrail's mom makes me drop my phone. "Sorry dear, I didn't mean to startle you."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to fall asleep." She shakes her head at my apology and takes my hand.

"It's alright dear, you guys looked peaceful and it's nice seeing that Azrail met someone like you." I nod, understanding the weight of her words. I am the only one able to touch Azrail for some reason.

"I'll be leaving now," I mutter. "Thank you for your hospitality."

"Nonsense, eat something first, and then you could leave." His mom says, taking my hand and dragging me to the dining room.

I look at the plates in front of me and nod. Her food looks delectable, I'm definitely staying now.

"Dear, close your ears for a second please." She says and I follow her strange request.

"AZRAIL DINNER," I flinch at her voice. For someone so soft-spoken, she had some base in her voice.

She sends me an apologetic smile and soon enough, her son is in the dining room. His hair was all over the place and he looked like he was trying to make sense of the world. He looks at me and I quickly look down, feeling my face warm up.

"Sit and eat." His mom says, pulling the chair next to me.

I don't look up when he sits next to me, I just focus on the food in front of me.

"So are you guys dating?"

The question sends both of us on a coughing spree. I take the water and drink it.

"Mom," Azrail mutters embarrassingly. I look at him and saw that he was blushing.

"What, I went to check on you guys and I saw the cutest thing." She says showing us her phone. It was Azrail and I cuddling. His head on my chest and my arm wrapped around him securely. Azrail turns scarlet at the picture.

"We aren't dating." I finally speak up, trying to save us both.

"Aisha was the only one I can touch without hurting and things happen, and I guess we fell asleep," Azrail explains to his mom.

She nods but still has a smirk on her face looking at us, "Alright, eat and I'll stop teasing."

"Sorry about that," Azrail whispers when his mom walks away.

I nod, "It's okay, sorry for not leaving sooner."

"I don't mind, I was more disappointed when I didn't see you."

Now it was my turn to blush even more. Good thing mine is not visible.

A/N: Reminder that Azrail is Japanese it's just hard to find bwam pics that fit the mood I'm trying to give. But the pic on top is them cuddling.

Also, I felt like the other pov wasn't the best so I changed it to how I usually write my book. I don't have an updating schedule for this one. It's more spontaneous, so bare with me, please.

Love you guys.
