Okay, this time before working on something nice for Miau's b-day, I've decided to do a little challenge and see if I can make a quick self-indulgent one-shot...
To be honest, even if it was a short-fic, but I had fun working on it ^^
Yup, this is how you realize that this is the true OTP content ♥(ノ´∀`)
And it took more than 3-4 years of writing to realize it...
(perhaps, someday it would be nice to work on more or less canon-like setting... but is it possible to leave a comfort zone called ''alternate universe''? *sigh* who knows...)
Anyway, as always,
Please, enjoy!
It was already an afternoon inside one local inn. Finally, Goeniko opens her eyes. While she lies on the side, the blonde narrows her gaze and silently groans. For now, all she did was stare at the wall. More so, this is the first time in her life when she wants to stay in bed all day and do anything. Besides, it is so warm and comfortable under the blankets.
Suddenly, the memories of yesterday flash inside her head. The touch, the scent, and smell of that silver-haired woman – it felt so vivid, so real. For sure, it made the young nun widen her eyes and cover her mouth. Goeniko could even feel how the sudden heat in her cheeks.
After immediately sitting up, the blonde tosses away the blanket. For sure, Goeniko felt like the heavy rock was removed from her chest, as she perceives with her eyes wearing a sky-blue nightdress.
'Perhaps, it was just a dream. However, why did I see Orochi in a demon's shape? More importantly, why didn't she stop me? I don't understand…' — Or so, the blue-eyed nun wonders. Although, such a dream left her with so many unanswered questions. Yet, Goeniko decides to forget it. Besides, she needs to prepare for a new day.
However, a calm voice next to her returned the blonde to this world ‘‘Good morning~ How are you feeling?’’.
As the blue-eyed nun turns her head towards the direction of that voice, she gets alerted. It appears to be a young man with short silver fluffy hair is sitting at the bedside. He is wearing a black t-shirt and a pair of white pants. Yet, Goeniko instantly moves to the corner of the bed and sits on her lap. Now, she grabs the nearest pillow, the blonde hugs it. ‘Just how this little thief got here? I swear that I locked the door yesterday. One wrong step and you will regret messing with me.’ — Or so, she wonders.
While she silently stares at the stranger, he asks in a concerned tone “Is there anything wrong?”.
“Who are you? And how did you get here?” — Goeniko indignantly asks while tightly holding the pillow in her arms. The fluffy silver-head only smiles at her reaction. Although, the blonde adds while frowning “What's so funny? It's rude to stare at others. Perhaps, such words as “good manners” are unfamiliar to you, foolish boy.”.
Despite her intimidating staring, this fellow only chuckles while holding his chin. “It seems that you still have difficulties to tell who am I, Goeniko.” — The young man calmly answers.
The blonde dumbfounded stares for a while at the fluffy silver-head ‘‘ Wait… How do you know my name?’’. After a short pause, she speaks up in a doubtful tone “It cannot be… is that you, Orochi? But how? I do not get at all…”. Lastly, she puts the hugged pillow aside.
‘‘Took your time~’’ – Or so, Orochi replies in a nearly singing voice. However, the silver-haired man gets confused as Goeniko leans close to him. He only asks while keeping his poker face ‘‘Is everything alright?’’.
‘‘I need to see something by myself.’’ — The blonde replies with such a determined gaze. After taking a deep breath, Goeniko grasps with one hand Orochi’s t-shirt and lifts it. For sure, that interested look on her face while studying his abs and chest amused this young man.
‘‘It does look the same as the one, which that woman had… ’’. - Goeniko remarks on a familiar-looking tattoo.
Yet, she needed something more to convince herself. When the nun releases his t-shirt, she places her hands on his cheeks. As her palms move up, she begins to gently stroke Orochi’s hair. Now, the blonde soften her gaze ‘‘Your hair is so soft as well. There is no mistake. It is you. However, why are you looking like this?’’.
‘‘ ‘Why?’ I wonder… Perhaps, because this is my human form. Thanks to you, now, I can use it again.’’ — The fluffy silver-head casually explains.
However, Goeniko only gives a puzzled look ‘‘Human form? But you look so different since I saw you yesterday. Who, in the Lord’s name, are you?’’.
Orochi chuckles at such a reaction and starts to explain in a confident voice ‘‘Have you figured out yet? I am a shape-shifting demon who invades people's dreams and obtains life force from them by giving the most pleasant dreams. Fortunately, we, demons, do not need to see what you dream about when we feed on you. Unfortunately, when I accidentally peek at what humans dream about, I always feel disappointed. But this is not what you want to know, right? Do such words like succubus or incubus ring a bell?’’.
For sure, her senses that Orochi is not from this world were right. More importantly, what happened yesterday was not just an accident.
However, learning that her experiences were just a dream suddenly upsets the nun and makes her feel betrayed. She even lowers her arms and her gaze. Lastly, Goeniko tells herself in a gloomy voice ‘‘So, it was just a dream… How foolish and shameful of me. I’m so sorry if you have seen it. Perhaps, you feel disgusted and hate me. I am sorry that…’’. The poor maiden could not finish her sentence. It simply feels like the words are stuck inside her throat.
However, the fluffy silver heads question in a calm tone shocks Goeniko “Do you regret it?”. Poor maiden just took it as a harsh slap, and she knew that there is no way Orochi would forgive her.
For now, she feels nothing but guilt. The blonde cannot speak for a while and only dumbfounded stares at Orochi.
Meanwhile, he could read her mind instead of wasting time. On the other hand, that woman is the first human who is still alive after the demon fed on her. Therefore, it was natural that the fluffy silver-head was uncertain of what to do in this situation.
However, he preferred not to kill her. Just because now she knows his secret was not a good excuse. Firstly, Orochi knew that she might be smart enough to leave certain things being unknown. More so, if she tells anyone that he is a demon, she might get killed as a witch. Secondly, Goeniko does not seem to be afraid of him. More importantly, the blonde wanted to befriend him and was ready even to sacrifice her life so that Orochi could live.
However, if this nun wanted, she may already kill Orochi when she could. Even lurking in his created illusion world and using his pet would be useless against her.
In the end, he wanted to hear from Goeniko why did she save his life and why she was so kind to him. It cannot be just pure curiosity, can it?
Finally, as the blonde places her hand on her chest, she starts to confess ‘‘As long as you are safe, I'm fine! I can endure any pain. Even when you appeared as a demon and asked me for the life force in that dream, I agreed to offer you anything – my body, soul, my everything! I believed that you get enough strength to defend yourself from the terrible people who captured you once. At least then I could rest in peace knowing that you are alright. However, what you did…’’.
Suddenly, she starts to blush just by having flashbacks of yesterday. Even Goeniko’s voice becomes shaky. Despite feeling embarrassed, she continued her confession ‘‘You were supposed to take my life away, but… you did the opposite. It was not fair because you let me selfishly indulge into… that feeling while I didn't do anything in return for you.”.
After Goeniko opens up her heart, she genuinely expects the fluffy silver-head will look down on her. She closes her eyes and impatiently waits for the supposed demon to mock her like any other mortal. Or so, the blonde convinced herself.
Suddenly, the blue-eyed nun opens her eyes as she feels the Orochi's hand on her head.
When he is gently stroking the blonde's hair, he explains in a calm and relaxing voice “It wasn't a dream. What you saw before was my created world where everything obeys my rules. I don't even need to maintain myself, unlike in this world. Staying as a demon in human-realm simply drained my energy. I trusted you and wanted to take you to my world. I was certain that it was our final meeting, so, I wanted to make sure that you have a blissful exit. However, I was surprised and relieved that somehow you were still alive. You saved me twice, Goeniko, and this more than enough.”.
In the end, Orochi pulls the blonde into a hug and lets her head rest against his chest. ‘Perhaps, that should calm her down.’ — Or so he hopes.
‘So, this is how sounds the demon’s heartbeat. You are even so warm…’ — Or so, Goeniko wonders while being wrapped in the warm embrace of the fluffy silver-head. After closing her eyes, the blonde lets a deep sigh.
This time, the blue-eyed nun uses her chance and wraps her arms around the silver-haired young man. She wanted to stay like this for a while. After all, she could show her deepest affection to someone whom she cares about more than the so-called god.
At first, Goeniko doubted whether she was doing the right thing. However, she knew – she cannot let go of Orochi, nor did she want to do so. Therefore, the blonde gathers all her courage and makes the right decision. After she opens her eyes, she withdraws from the fluffy silver-head and addresses him ‘‘I want you to have this…’’. When Goeniko removes a golden ring from her finger, she handles it to Orochi.
For sure, he is surprised by such an unexpected gesture, yet the silver-haired young man remains chill and asks ‘‘Why are you giving me this?’’.
The blonde only gives a comforting smile ‘‘I got this ring when I became a nun. It was supposed to be symbolizing my and Lord's marriage and giving all my heart and body to him. However, I cannot wear it anymore. After all, I already broke that oath when I offered my body, mind, and heart to you back then. Although, I do not regret it because it was you. So, it’s up to you now whenever you can accept this ring.’’.
As Orochi clenches his hand, which holds a ring, he replies ‘‘Do you realize what kind of fate awaits you if you stay by my side? If anyone finds out that you aided a demon, you might be hunted down for the rest of your life. You may be tortured to death by someone like Inquisitors.’’.
After the blonde takes his hand into her hands, she confesses ‘‘I understand perfectly that. However, if this is what you are worried about, rest assured. I am not a milky maiden, and I’m capable of defending myself. I've already decided to follow you, no matter what happens. Besides, who else would make sure that you do not get into any trouble? So, let me protect and support you, Orochi.’’.
Orochi only closes his eyes and sighs ‘‘What a stubborn woman you are… Very well. If this is what you wish for.’’. After he opens his eyes, the fluffy silver-haired gives an amorous gaze ‘‘I hope that you are not regretting your decision, Goeniko.’’.
Suddenly, when Orochi leans close to her face, the blonde can feel how fast and loud her heartbeats. Does he plan to take life force again? Was it not enough since the last time? Or so, Goeniko thought after nervously swallowing the saliva. Lastly, she closes her eyes and impatiently waits.
In the end, the demon rewarded her with a soft and gentle kiss. Even if it did not last long, all the blonde could do was just daze. While Orochi adored such a given gaze, he gently strokes Goeniko’s cheek. Yet, the blue-eyed nun closes her eyes and allows herself to enjoy the given affection. For now, she is relieved that her feelings are not just one-sided. More so, Goeniko feels happy and proud knowing that the fluffy silver-haired young man chooses to trust her. That’s why the blonde nun decides to stay by Orochi’s side and punish anyone who dares to bring harm to him.
