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

Chapter 59. Halucinations.

I stared at Clara, in shock. She stared back. Asmodeus's hands were now back where they belonged, on his sides, away from my neck. I kept staring, my body stopping from functioning normally. My eyes then finally looked away from Clara, and looked at Asmodeus instead, who had his eyes on Clara.

"So you two..?" Clara asked, tears flowing down her face. I nodded slightly, too embarrassed to look at her face. "I wanted to explain it.." I whispered, feeling my own tears welling up now.

Clara just stared. It felt endless, the staring, the silence, even if it was just for five seconds. "So you don't love me..?" Clara whispered at me. I nodded slightly. "I do, just not romantically.." I whispered back. "I'm sorry." I then said as she turned around and ran away.

I waved, a stupid smile on my face before breaking down crying. Asmodeus put his hands on my shoulders and pulled me close, whispering sweet nothings into my ear. Things like "Its going to be alright." and things like "Im sure she will talk soon." even if I knew none of those things would happen. And I wasn't sure they would ever.

I took deep breaths, trying to calm myself down. I think Asmodeus helped me more than I could help myself. After taking a few minutes to calm ourselves down we strolled out the classroom, to my home.

We slowly walked there, our journey mostly quiet. Once or twice I would crack a joke to feel better, and he would make some too. Then I had the idea to hold his hand, just to ease my anxiety, so I did.

I smiled a sad smile as I looked down the cliff. The road home was a cliff for some reason, it looked like it should have fallen apart ages ago, but for some unknown reason still exists. Kind of like me in the demon world.

I should have died here a long time ago.

The sound of a voice got ne out of these thoughts, it was Ali, who was finally awake again. But I was with Asmodeus now, and couldn't talk to him.

"Hey there, Iru-boy!" He said, floating around my head. I smiled, signalling that I could see him. He smiled back slightly, putting on a dramatic act.

"Oh, Iru-boy.. I heard the love drama.. so much love, so much heartbreak. Are you alright, Iru-boy?" He asked, playing as if he was an actor on the spotlight.

I looked at him, nodding slightly. Asmodeus gripped my hand tighter, making me look at him. He had been staring right at the back off my skull.

He watched me, as if he wanted to say something, but then didn't, looking back at the road. And so I put my attention back at Ali.

"Im glad, Iru-boy. After all we are one mind and body. If you suddenly get depressed it will affect me too, ya know! So don't become some sort of suicidal." He said, looking at me seriously for once. I snickered slightly, thinking the serious him was a tad funny before stopping as I saw Asmodeus looking at me again, with consern this time. "Are you alright?" He asked me, I nodded at him, and stared back at Ali.

"Do you see someone?" He then asked me. I thought he already looked away, but I guess he didn't. I slightly shook my head, not staring at him because im a terrible lier.

Eventually we reached home, where Grandpa was already peeking trough the door, probably wondering where I was. In the meantime Ali was being mean about me laughing at him. I mean, I get it, but its just so funny for some reason.

I gripped Asmodeus's hand tighter, a bit nervous to face grandpa now that I look like I have cried. After all, I didn't want him to worry about me.

Asmodeus then tightened the grip aswell, and let go, signalling a 'Its going to be fine' at me. I walked up to grandpa, who was staring at me curiously.
