(Demon Urata x Human Sakata)

~Mini series~

————————

He said that Urata was lying but their actions say otherwise. Mafu thought as he looked at the redhead and short brunette just up ahead; the short brunette would occasionally lean in to whisper to the redhead and laugh when the male would push him away with a blush and glare on his face.

He giggled to himself which made the raven-haired next to him raise his eyebrow. Mafu could sense the gaze and turned his head to smile at the male.

"Sakata seems to have found someone~"

"Seems so."

"Is the older brother getting protective~" Mafu teased, laughing at the male's annoyed look, he looked back at the other two, his eyes landing on the short brunette.

"Though, I don't know why but he kinda has a strange aura around him," Mafu went back to looking at the raven-haired, "I get the same feeling around him like when I'm with Amatsuki."

Soraru just awkwardly shifted his eyes around, slightly nervous that the albino might find out.

"It's strange but I sometimes imagine seeing horns on those two," Mafu let out a short laugh, "imagine Amatsuki and Urata as demon."

"Yeah, how stupid would that be." Soraru hoped that the sarcasm and nervousness didn't sneak into his words.

Well if Mafu ends up finding out then it wouldn't be that much of a problem, the tanuki could just make him forget.

"How would you react if I said I was a demon?" Mafu jokingly asked as the raven-haired gave him a blank look.

"With your personality and actions I'd might actually believe you."

"Hey!"

Soraru smirked as the albino glared at him before puffing his cheek and crossing his arms.

"Well same could be said for you."

"Oi—"

The two then heard the sound of someone tripping and landing on the ground, and sure enough when they looked at the other two they could see that the redhead was the one that fell.

Once they caught up they could see the redhead sulking. Urata just rose his eyebrow in slight confusion.

"Oi, don't you know how to walk?"

"So he fell on his own, I kinda assumed Urata pushed you." Mafu said, ignoring the short brunette's protest, "are you okay Sakata?"

"I'm fine," the redhead got up and sheepishly laughed, "I just tripped."

"On what? Thin air?" Soraru didn't seem convinced as the redhead twiddled his thumbs.

"I-I'm just that dumb to do that..." Sakata gave him a reassuring smile, "I'm serious, I'm fine niichan!"

"I think we can all agree that that is a lie." Urata stated which made Sakata let out a small laugh.

He then noticed the few scrapes that were caused from the fall. Urata was about to crouch to heal them before remembering that the albino was there, plus the possibility of other passerby seeing.

"You look kinda pale Sakata..." Mafu's concerned voice caused the raven-haired to look at the redhead worriedly.

"If you're feeling sick then you can go home and rest."

"I know I always get a few colds and such but I'm okay this time," Sakata stated as he got up, slightly wincing at the pain from the scrapes.

"I just felt a bit dizzy and tripped." Sakata continued to reassure them, "I'm fine, really."

Urata sighed as he grabbed the redhead's hand, looking at the other two as he waved his hand.

"I'm taking this idiot back to your house, you two can enjoy your little date. See ya."

"Hope you get better Sakata." Mafu shouted as the two left from their sights.

Urata glanced back once they had made it farther away, looking at the redhead who just kept repeating that he was fine now.

"Seriously, I am fine." Sakata said as the short brunette gave him an annoyed look.

"Yeah and I'm just a tanuki that can turn into a human."

"I mean, that could be believable— ow..." Sakata rubbed the cheek that had been pulled while the male glared at him.

"Great idea, hurt the one that's already injured..."

"So now you admit that you're injured."

Sakata was going to retort but just kept opening and closing his mouth, he sighed in defeat after a few seconds.

"I wanted to hang out with niichan and Mafu some more~" He whined as the short brunette rolled his eyes. "Plus you can just heal me right now and things will be okay."

"Let's just get you home."

Sakata let out a yelp as the short brunette casually picked him up bridal style. How's he shorter than me yet strong enough to carry me?!? He was embarrassed at how he instinctively wrapped his arm around the male's neck.

"E-Eh?!?"

"The scrapes on your knee look painful and you were kinda wincing so I might as well carry you." Urata nonchalantly said as the redhead blushed even more.

He looked around, when no one was looking he teleported the two back inside the house. Sakata was burying his head in the male's shoulder, trying to hide his red face.

Urata just chuckled, "how innocent do you have to be that this embarrasses you?"

"Y-You try having someone just casually and suddenly carry you like this!" Sakata retorted as the short brunette rolled his eyes.

Either he's oblivious, hiding his embarrassment to keep his pride, or he just doesn't care about his actions. The redhead just pouted at the short brunette, who returned the look with one of amusement.

"Well if you don't like it then," Urata said as he playfully dropped the redhead on the bed, snickering at the male's annoyed look.

"D-Don't do that!"

"Like you say, it's fine, you didn't get hurt."

Sakata just stuck his tongue out before playfully pouting, "but there's no point in being here~ just heal my wounds and we can go back to Mafu and niichan~"

"Still, it gives your foul-mouthed brother a bit more reassurance that you're not in harm's way. Plus I got tired of being a human so it gives me an excuse to turn back."

"And here I thought you were being caring of me..." Sakata playfully whined while the short brunette sighed.

"You know, I've been curious, where'd you and niichan go that one day?" Sakata curiously tilted his head as the short brunette remained silent.

I don't know if telling him would be a bad idea. Urata debated with himself over the thought before settling on a vague decision.

"Just somewhere, your brother was just curious about something and I went to show him."

"What was it?"

Urata had to restrain himself from smiling after looking at the redhead's innocent and cute look of confusion, one similar to that of a curious puppy.

"Nothing that you should worry about."

Sakata just stared intently at the male, who didn't budge. I suspect a secret~ maybe if I pry hard enough he'll say something.

"Okay~ I'll just ask niichan then~" He said, wondering if it'd cause a reaction from the male but when he received nothing he just sighed. Okay so it probably isn't anything important if Urata didn't react worried or anything like that.

"Why do you even want to know?" Urata rose his eyebrow before a teasing smirk appeared on his face, "were you jealous or something~"

"N-No!" Sakata blushed, he hated how quickly he replied and how his voice stuttered slightly.

"Oh right, might as well heal the scars," Urata stated as he ran his hand along the redhead's wounds.

Sakata blushed at the fluttering sensation, his skin feeling warm in the areas the short brunette touched softly. H-He's definitely doing it on purpose!

"There." Urata then stifled his laugh at the redhead's cherry-red cheeks, "what were you thinking about~"

"Nothing!" Sakata shouted, puffing his cheeks out in annoyance at being teased.

"You sure you're brain didn't think of anything perverted~"

"I-I'm not like you!"

"Oi." Urata was irritated at the accusation while the redhead stuck his tongue out.

"Oh well, at least now you're better and can rest. I'm sure you're happy that your fishcake brother can have a date now."

"But now I'm bored~" Sakata whined as he recovered from his blush, "how about I get to ask you a few questions~"

"Why?"

"Cause why not," Sakata grinned at the male's annoyed face, "plus I only know that you're a demon and sadistic when you want to be."

"Oi."

The redhead continued to grin as the short brunette rolled his eyes.

"Fine, what do you want to know?"

"Was there ever a time you weren't mean?"

"Oi!"

"www just kidding~ Next question, are you scared of heights?"

"You—"

"I'm joking, I already know you are~"

"Oi—"

"Since when did you have the tanuki?"

"It's Yamadanuki, and I've had her since forever."

"Eh, I'm surprised you actually care about it," Sakata muttered in amusement. So he does have a soft side~

"I'm not that heartless I just care about different things than others."

"Okay next question.....uhm...has Urata ever liked anyone?"

Sakata wanted to take back the words he accidentally blurted out, his cheeks flushing as the short brunette stared at him. Why'd I ask that? He's gonna be suspicious of it!

"Why that sudden question?" Urata asked in amusement as the redhead awkwardly looked around.

"J-Just curious, I mean are demons even allowed to fall in love with anyone or is it like arranged marriages and stuff?"

"I guess it's a mixture of both," Urata stated as he pressed his finger under his chin, "I just give people the special treatment or fanservice if they want but that doesn't mean I like them."

Sakata pretended the words didn't hurt him, "so you can fall in love with anyone?"

"I'm free to do whatever I want~ I can be with 100 people and no one would say anything." Urata jokingly said as the redhead rose his eyebrow.

"Eh? Really? You don't have any restrictions despite how you act?" Sakata looked at him in disbelief, "then again with the way you act I'm not really surprised that you'd be a flirt."

"Oi," Urata glared at him for the comment, hating that that is how he saw him, "why do you even care about whether I like anyone or not?"

"I was curious so see if the sadistic demon was able to have people fall in love with him~" Sakata teasingly said as the short brunette stared at him blankly.

"Does the idiot-that-tripped-and-summoned-a-demon have people confess to him?"

"You didn't have to add that..." Sakata crossed his arms and pouted, "and yes, there are people that adore me."

"Didn't know you could be narcissistic." Urata crossed his arms, an intrigued look in his eyes as he stared at the redhead, "but you're being too curious about any of this for nothing."

"L-Like I just said I was curious...." Sakata shifted his eyes arounds as if looking for a lie, he really wished he held back his words and didn't spill them out.

Urata chuckled as he lifted the redhead's chin, leaning closer, his eyes full of teasing with a mischief smirk on his face.

"Is there a reason why you're so interested in my love life~"

Sakata blushed at their closeness, shifting his gaze away from the male's eyes because he felt like he'd be exposed by staring into them. He was wondering if the short brunette could feel his heart racing.

"J-Just curious, nothing else..."

"Is that so~ so then you wouldn't care if I did this~"

Urata didn't know what got to him, maybe the redhead's shy expression or flustered cheeks, but the next thing he knew, his lips were on the redhead's in a soft kiss.

Sakata's eyes quickly shot back to staring at the short brunette's, shocked by the action yet he didn't move away. The redhead timidly returned the kiss and the two remained like that for a few more seconds before parting their lips.

They stared at each other as their brains began to register what happened before they immediately blushed and quickly looked away. The room was filled with an awkward silence that the two wished to be buried in a hole and never get out.

Why? Why? WHY? I was just teasing him, I didn't think about actually kissing him. Urata constantly shouted in his head as he tried to shake off the embarrassment. Sakata felt like his face was burning up as his mind constantly thought back on the event. Urata kissed me...Urata kissed me...Urata kissed me....

"..........."
"..........."

The two sat in the silence for what felt like an eternity until the redhead finally mustered the courage to speak up.

"U-uhm......I....." he felt all the words that he could say suddenly drift away from his mind. S-So much for not wanting to expose myself...

"So I guess that answers why," Urata finally said as he turned to look at the redhead, who blushed even more.

"Y-You were the one that kissed me first!" Sakata retorted as the short brunette shifted his eyes away.

"Don't remind me," the redhead could see the small blush, "but you didn't push away."

"I-I was just surprised," Sakata tried to reason, whether to himself or the short brunette he didn't know.

"Yet decided to kiss back?" Urata rose his eyebrow as the male covered his face with his arm.

"I....." Sakata then frowned as he gave the short brunette an annoyed look, "j-just say you were teasing me and it meant nothing..."

"Eh?" Urata was surprised at the redhead's slightly harsh tone. I guess that makes sense since I just kissed him after saying how I just play along with others and being called a flirt....

Though saying he wasn't upset by the words would be a lie, he felt his heart ache seeing the redhead try to hold back the hurt in his voice. He would've done something to comfort the male but was worried that'd just make things worse.

Urata covered his cheek with the back of his hand, I realized I liked the idiot before but I tried to hide it from myself and this is what happens. He let out an annoyed sigh, this is what I get for always teasing people.

"I'm....not one to be good with words..." Urata admitted as he carefully removed the redhead's arm away from his face, placing in onto the bed, his grip firm but soft, "and it takes me a while to admit things but..."

Urata had an annoyed yet embarrassed look, his cheeks just as flushed as the redhead's. Sakata blushed at the expression, his heart melting at the warmth of the smile.

The short brunette kissed him again, a short and simple kiss filled with gentleness. He shifted his eyes away in slight embarrassment once he parted their lips, "you're....the only one that made me do something like that without thinking...."

Sakata tried to shake off the warm fuzzy feeling in his stomach. He felt like believing it would be too good to be true.

"Y-You're just saying that to make me feel better....i-it could just be because I'm the only one you've had to be around for a long time...."

"And that's why..." Urata nervously laughed, "I've never bothered staying by people, and at first I didn't want to be stuck with you but I started trying to find excuses to be around you."

"You—"

"Ironic how I said I didn't care about you before yet here I am, confessing to you."

Sakata wanted to hide his face, he wasn't even sure how bright red it was now after hearing all that. Urata let got of his arms and cupped his face, giving him another short kiss before the redhead buried his face in his shoulders.

"How can you say that in a cool tone without being embarrassed~" Sakata whined as Urata just chuckled as he patted the male's head.

"Same way you can be cute while still irritated. Well, what's your answer? Gonna deny not having feelings for me after returning the kiss~" Urata teased as the redhead gave him a mini glare.

"Look who's talking!"

Sakata let out an annoyed huff before squirming at the soft kiss on his neck. He glared at the smirking short brunette.

"Y-You're already teasing me!"

"Haven't I always teased you?" Urata grinned mischievously, "now I just get to tease you like this."

"H-Hey!"
