-Third's Pov-

Midori: Flame Demon! Flame Demon! Who were you before you were a demon?

The school boy had manage to take the Flame Demon to the park. To be honest, the Flame Demon was having a good time with the mortal despite answering the boy's stupid questions.

Flame Demon: The year that I first drew breath was 1431. I was born into a wealthy family. I enjoyed a life of privilege and luxury. Local peasants, unsatisfied with their lot in life, grew envious of my family's wealth. Eventually, their envy turned to rage. One day, a mob of peasants marched into my family's manor, intent on stealing our valuables. My mother and father attempted to resist, but they were no match for dozens of armed peasants.

Midori's eyes widened...He could only muster and think of what a terrible life that the Flame Demon once had.

Flame Demon: The peasants beat my parents savagely. When my mother and father were at the brink of death, the peasants burned them alive. Afterwards, the peasants raided the manor, taking everything of value. When they were finished, they burned the manor to the ground. I hid during the peasant's assault, and so I escaped without injury. However, I witnessed my parents beaten and burned to death.

The young high school student looked at him with sympathy.

Midori: I'm so sorry.

Flame Demon: For what?

Midori: For what you had to go through...it's so sad.

Flame Demon: Hmph. Well, I was able to obtain my revenge in the end. My desire to take vengeance on the peasants was so strong that I performed a demonic ritual to commune with a demon. The demon took an interest in me. We struck a deal, and I performed a sacrifice, the demon granted me the power to control fire.

Midori:....(Wow.)

Flame Demon: I was reborn into the form that you see before you. I took my vengeance. The peasants experienced everything that they subjected my parents to...and more. I had become a being that was no longer welcome in the human world. And so, once my vengeance was complete, I left the human world for the demon realm.

Midori smiled before asking the dumbest and childish question.

Midori: Flame Demon! Flame Demon! Where do demons come from?

The flame demon rubbed his face as he stares at the green-haired boy.

Flame Demon: You truly are an ignorant human...to think that you made it this far without knowing such a thing...

Midori: At least I can learn from a cool demon like you.

Flame Demon: H-Huh?! I-I mean...Yes! You are given a great privilege to learn from a demon like me.

Midori: (Hehe, playing up on his pride. Great strategy. Go me!)

Flame Demon: A demon is a human that has discarded their humanity in exchange for great power. A very specific set of circumstances are required in order for a human to become a demon.

Midori: (Oh...)

Flame Demon: First, a human must somehow commune with a demon. The human must express their desire to forsake humanity and embrace demonhood. If the demon decided that the human is worthy, the demon will offer a deal. The human must perform a great sacrifice. After the sacrifice has been performed, the demon will grant the human the power that they desire. It's extremely uncommon for a demon to judge a human to be worthy of demonhood.

Midori: How come I only saw three demons when I entered the demon realm?

Flame Demon: There were actually dozens of other demons present, but only three chose to make themselves visible to you.

Midori: What do you do all day in the demon realm?

Good Question. What do they be doing down there in that empty dark space.

Flame Demon: There are very few activities available within the demon realm. From the demon realm, one can gaze upon any person or location in the human world. It is quite amusing. It is much like your human invention, the television.

Midori: Have you ever taken an interest to a human?

Flame Demon: Why would I do that?

Midori only shrugged his shoulders.

Midori: I don't know. I mean, it would be more fun than just watching them, don't you think?

Flame Demon: I've never been interested in humans like that. I am only interested in their souls.

Midori: Their souls?

Flame Demon: A demon's power and lifespan are determined by the number of human souls that the demon has consumed. When my power wanes, I strike a bargain with a human in order to acquire their souls so that I may continue living. Some demons prefer to make their lives more interesting by gambling their souls amongst one another. Gambling with a foolish or gullible demon is an excellent way to quickly acquire a few human souls. Some demons are agreeable, and fraternizing with them can be enjoyable. However, most demons...do not make good company.

Midori: Flame Demon! How many other demons are in the demon realm?

Flame Demon: I have never bothered to count the exact number, but I know that there are over one hundred of us.

Midori: Are any as amazing as you?

Flame Demon: W-Where is this coming from?!

Midori: I'm just curious! You're so interesting and stuff. I doubt any other demon is like you...

Flame Demon: Bah!

Midori: (Haha! He is so adorable when he's flustered)

Midori: So, are you enjoying yourself yet?

Flame Demon:...I...well...speaking to a human in this manner...being asked questions...providing answers...talking about myself...I…

He then saw that a pink tinge began to appear on his flame head, indicating that the demon was in fact blushing. "It's working!" he thought.

Flame Demon: ...it's not...
disagreeable...But make no mistake! You are not wooing me. I am not wooed. You'll have to woo harder than that.

Midori: Hmmm...

He decided to ask another question.

Midori: Flame Demon! Who are the other two demons that I saw with you?

Flame Demon: Are you asking for their names? A demon's true name is a closely guarded secret. To know a demon's human birth name is to have power over that demon. I will not give you such power. When a human achieves demonhood, they are granted a title that reflects their nature. I am the Flame Demon. The two demons who accompanied me when you entered the demon realm are known as the Pain Demon and the Lust Demon.

Midori: (Ok, I think I've done a good amount of wooing. Now to finish it off!) I'd like to mention that you look…hot.

Flame Demon: I will not be moved by such remarks. If you are attempting to make me swoon, you are failing miserably. I…Oh…it is a jest. You are referencing the fact that I have a flame for a face. Your jests are poor quality human! I remain thoroughly unwooed.

Midori frowns a bit. But it soon vanished when his emerald eyes stared at his burning flames, despite her mind screaming to stop looking at them, the irresistible urge to be close to him was like paradise to him. Knots churned inside of his stomach, Midori wanted him so bad.

Midori's cheeks blushed heavily.

Midori: You make my heart burn for you…

The flame demon didn't took too well. He thought he was joking around.

Flame Demon: Your flame puns do not affect me!

Midori: No! I'm being serious! I've never felt this way about anyone before! You're very special to me!

Midori then stood straight and put his  right hand over his heart to show how much he loves the Flame Demon.

Midori: I, Midori Gurin, am in love with the flame demon!

His face showed determination as his cheeks were even redder than the petals of a blossom tree.

It was time.

Midori: I want to be with you Flame Demon! My feelings for you are so great; they burn harder than the flame you can conjure! If you think that I'm not serious, you can take my soul right now and I won't try and stop you!

The flame demon was at loss for any words. He just stood there for a bit, studying how his confession matches with Midori.

Flame Demon:…I…

Midori: Yes?

The blush from earlier came back onto his flame head as he rubbed the back of his neck as he then hold Midori's hands with his.

Flame Demon: I…I enjoyed myself human, or should I say, Midori Gurin. This date was very interesting. I…I don't know how you've done it human, but somehow…within the span of a single day, you've made me feel…fond of you. Have I been seduced? Bewitched? Dare I say it-wooed? I want to belong to you, and I want you to belong to me. I want you to stay by my side for all eternity. I want to be held in your embrace until the end of time. I thought that I no longer had a heart to give…but my heart is now yours. Congratulations Midori Gurin…you've conquered a demon.

Midori gave him the biggest smile that anyone ever saw on a person, and all he wanted to do was hug him and keep him there. It was if their minds weren't concentrating on anything but the one standing in front of them.

Flame Demon: Wh…What are we going to do now, beloved?

Midori knew he could feel his feeling in the vow. He swallowed and brought up the courage to answer him. Midori  had been fighting down the urge to kiss the Flame Demon for so long after and now here they finally has the chance, and he wasn't going to let it go so easily.

Midori: Kiss me...

Flame Demon: I like the way you think.

They both kissed.
