Chapter 11 - Crush

— — — — —

Jimmy stood there in shock even after the door closed after Scott. His cheeks were warm and his ears were red. He was trying to comprehend what happened in the last couple of minutes.

One. The demon offered an alliance.

Two. The demon was flirting with him?

Three. The demon KISSED him?!

Reviewing over it did not help at all. Jimmy groaned in defeat. He threw his head back and covered his face with his hands.

That night, Jimmy couldn't sleep. He felt as if he was missing something. But he didn't know what it was. He never felt like this in his life. He kept getting a tingly feeling in the pit of his stomach no matter how many times he tried to disregard it.

And no matter how many times he tried to block it, the same image and feeling kept coming up over and over again. Scott. Scott's grin never left Jimmy's memory as if it had engraved itself in there. The ghost of Scott's lips never left the Codfather's skin. The feeling of Scott's fingers on his waist was still there even if Scott wasn't there himself...

"No," Jimmy whispered softly to no one in particular. He finally realized why he couldn't sleep. Dear cod, he couldn't possibly have a crush on the demon! Out of all the people to possibly have a crush on, it HAD to be the demon?!

Jimmy let out a small cry and buried his face into his pillows.

The blond's thoughts were interrupted when he heard the slam of the door flying open. Jimmy sat up in a panic and withdrew his Codfather sword.

"Jeez, okay, maybe barging in wasn't a good idea."

It was Scott. It was the demon.

"What do you want this time?" Jimmy scoffed.

Scott shrugged. "Thought maybe you might be happy to see me. Guess I was wrong. I guess I'll just go now."

Just as Scott reached the door, Jimmy spoke up. "Wait!"

The demon turned back to look at the cod hybrid, a sly smirk on his face. He hummed questioningly.

"Uh-" Fuck. Why did he say that. Why did he stop him.

"Yes?" Scott dragged out his words. Oh god dammit. How could Jimmy not answer him now?

"Can you- Can you stay with me," Jimmy whispered softly.

Scott hummed softly. "Oh, I don't know, Codfather."

"Please," Jimmy pleaded.

"What if you change your mind?" Scott said. Oh, this was just bullying at this point.

"Please Scott," Jimmy begged.

"Aw, when you say it like that." Scott wrapped his arms around Jimmy. Jimmy sighed contently, gripping onto the arms, tightly.

Dear Aeor knows what happens next. Most certainly, Exor didn't approve. But why would Scott care? He was fond of the cod. He liked the cod. Oh, dear Exor, please forgive him. He was in love with the cod.
