If I were a human, would you still love me?

Chapter 62. 3am Calls.

"So you miss sleeping together..?"
"Yeah.. but thats not what im getting at.."
"What else is there then?"
"Don't worry about it, im not telling, its embarrassing."
"Don't worry, I won't judge. Im asking."
"Once you're older, or more mature."
"Whyyyyyy?"
"Because you still don't know what 'protection' means.."
"Yes I do."
"Then tell me, what is it..?"

It was silent for a while before I replied. "... Why are you so mean to me suddenly, Azz?"
"Oh, sorry, I don't mean to be. I'll give you another tip for competition. Its something you learned about recently. And today I accidentally thought you wanted to do it.."

"Marriage?" I asked. It stayed quiet between us, before Azz finally replied. "Well.. no.. its about something else, but marriage would be much better.." I could hear him laughing trough the phone, obviously enjoying making me guess. I thought hard about what else it could be, before I realized what he said, and feeling embarrassed.

"Y-you want to marry me..?" I asked him. He stayed quiet. "..Eventually.. sometime in the future.. I'd love to.." He said. I smiled to myself, embarrassed to the point my cheeks were red. "..That would be lovely.." I replied, smiling.

After that it stayed quiet, untill I yawned again. "We should sleep.." Asmodeus said, his voice high, as if he was really really happy. "We should." I said back.

"Goodnight master Iruma.." Asmodeus said trough the phone. I could hear his embarrasment. "Goodnight, Azz.." I said, smiling from ear to ear, embarrassed. "Love you, Iruma.." He then said, making my heart flutter. "Love you too.." I then said before hanging up the phone.

I smiled to myself slightly, before getting off my bed, and putting my phone away. Suddenly I felt how tired I really was, and walked to the living room, to get my glass of warm milk.

As I waddled to the living room, Opera was already sitting on the couch, with a glass of milk on the table, and some snacks around it. I sat next to him as I approached slowly, my legs feeling heavier than ever before.

"Is everything okay?" Opera asked me. I nodded. "Yeah, it is. I talked to Azz about it, he isn't scared at all." I said, yawning as I grabbed the milk. It wasn't very warm anymore, Opera had probably expected me to be here earlier, wich I understand. If I was in his position Id have expected it too.

"Im sorry it took so long, Opera." I said, rubbing in my eye as I began drinking my milk. "Its fine, don't worry." He replied, grabbing his tea. I stared at the television, wich was on again. "Are you watching that one show again?" I asked. He nodded. "If you'd like you can join me untill this episode ends. It won't be long, about five minutes." He said, drinking his tea. I nodded, finishing my tea while I grabbed one of the snacks he brought, wich were mostly cookies.

"Is it okay for me to eat sugar this late?" I asked before I ate my cookie. He nodded. "Today its okay. If you do it tomorrow however we won't be playing anymore." He said, looking at me seriously. I smiled while I began eating the cookie, wich was pretty large, about the size of a plate.

I smiled happily, humming from the happy feelings coursing trough my body. Opera stared at me, his ears going from flat and worried to normal, and maybe even a bit happy. "Im glad you're alright." He said, grabbing a smaller cookie himself, dipping it in his tea, confusing me.

"Its milk." He said, showing me his cup, wich indeed had milk in it. "Ohh." I said, understanding him better now. Once he took a bite of his cookie he went to drink the milk. I however, had a fact pop up in my head, making me question reality.

"But aren't all cats lactose intolerant?" I then asked, making Opera, who was drinking his milk spit it out, coughing. I stared at him, a bit worried before he answered me, smiling, surprising me. "Yes, yes they are, but im a demon." He smiled.
