"It's okay, I don't mind." He put his hand in his sweatshirt pocket, hoping it would warm then up a bit. "There, now they won't be cold,"
Kinda want a demon and human ship so...help?
The sudden motion pulled him closer and Jay blushed lightly, hoping Jasper wouldn't notice it. "R-Right, let's get going." He started towards the park, hoping Jasper wouldn't say anything about his stutter.
Jasper laughed softly and nodded, following Jay to the park. He told himself the reason why he was being so bold was because he was still riding the adrenaline rush of the other relationship. It had to be the only reason why, right?
Jay really had to admit it to himself, Jasper was cute. There was no way around it. He was cute and Jay was just going to have to deal with it. And sure, maybe he just missed having someone for his own but this was different and he knew that.
"he was never violent in the beginning." Jasper started, not knowing why he talking about it but needing to say something. "It was the little things that made me think but I loved him so it didn't matter…" He looked away "but when he started hitting me and…forcing me to do…things…" He shook his head and glanced down
"Hey, you don't have to explain to me. I know it can be painful to talk about." He smiled softly, pulling himself to Jasper's side. "Don't worry about it, really."
He shook his head "Problem is I want someone to know, in case it becomes too much later and i decide to…you know…end it all just to stop the pain…"he glanced away, "for what it's worth, thank you for sharing your story, and thank you for listening to mine."
Please don't kill yourself, Marcus will be super pissed if you die before I get a contract out if you. He smiled softly. "Hey, don't sweat it. Friends are supposed to trust each other, aren't they?"
He nodded "from strangers to friends, is that how this works?" He asked with a fsmall laugh "At the rate we'll be married and dead in the ground by next week," he teased, blushing a bit.
He flushed bright red, looking away from him. "T-That's not what I m-meant I mean y-you are really cute b-but still…" He froze for a second as he realized what he said and blushed even harder, if that was even possible. He buried his face in his hands, mumbling under his breath about how he was such an idiot.
Jasper laughed and blushed deeper than before "I know! I was joking," he said through giggles "thanks, you're not too bad yourself," He rubbed Jay's back, knowing that he was just as embarrassed as he was.
He peeked up at him through his hands and smiled a little. "T-Thanks." His voice was shy and quiet, still majorly embarrassed.
he smiled softly and nodded "for making you blush like a tomato? no problem," he laughed and glanced up as they neared the park
He dropped his hands and smiled but didn't say anything. This guy really made him flustered. He wasn't used to it. A small voice in his head reminded him that he was only doing this for the contract and his smile fell a little. Jasper genuinely seemed like a nice guy that Jay could really be into but here he was, a demon trying to get his first contract. He felt the skin on the back of his neck start to crawl, the feeling he always got when he felt bad about lying.
"so what do you do as a job?" Jasper asked, trying to find something to talk about other than their broken love lives
Collect souls. "I work as a library assistant, as boring as it sounds." He chuckled. It wasn't a complete lie, when he was still alive he did work as a librarians assistant.
Jasper stopped dead in his tracks "did you just say library assistant?" He bounced in place "as in an assistant to the the best place ever with access to a million free book at any given time?!"
(Mind if I change my character? the image of him doesn't fit with what I'm writing, at least in my head.)
(Fine by me!)
"Yeah, I suppose." He laughed. "I've never seen someone so excited over books. Well, other than myself."
(thanks!)
Raz bounced in place and nodded "oh yeah, I love books! Any kind just something to get as far away from reality is possible."
"Yeah sounds about right." He laughed. "I'm kinda the same way, doing anything and everything to forget about the rest of the world."
"Wanna head there after the park? the librarian loves me and lets me stay after hours," he asked, blushing a bit at asking him to join him somewhere.
He smiled a little, blushing red. "Sure, I'd love to." Haven't been at that library in ages. Let's home no one recognizes me…
Raz clapped his hand's happily, momentarily forgetting how cold it was and quickly shoving his hand's back in his pockets. "You're sure? I didn't mean to imply that you had nothing else to do afterward. If you have something better to do, you don't have to come with."
He laughed softly. "What friends do you assume I have? I've got nothing better to do, I'd love to come with you."
Raz smiled brightly "yay! For coming with, not because you have no friends, though I guess that's untrue since now you have me." Raz rambled, happy to finally have someone to talk to that wouldn't criticize his every move. "I mean unless you dot't want a friend then I could just be this random guy that you hang out with once and never see again and I guess thas's okay too,"
"No no no!" He chuckled. "I'd love to actually have a friend for once." And maybe something more?
Raz smiled and nodded beeore glancing around the park "it's so beautiful here," he said
"Yeah, I used to come here a lot but…something happened and I couldn't for a while."
Raz looked over at him "your boyfriend I'm guessing?" He asked, concern in his eyes
Nah, I died. "Yeah, he happened. It sucks."
