[Back to Y/N's POV]

My body was still frozen in place, I didn't want to move-well, it's not like I could anyway.

This.. can't be him.. right?. ..PLEASE TELL ME I'M DREAMING AND THIS ISN'T WALMART ELSA.

As I was still panicking and trying to figure out what had happened, I realized something... ..HE WAS SO DAMN CLOSE TO MY FACE- WAS HE GOING TO KISS ME?? Smh, A date would've been nice first.

As I continued to think like a maniac, he placed a finger on his chin. It looked like he was looking for something.. but what?

Just then, he smiled. He quickly chuckled, wrapping his arms around me as he pulled me into a hug, my face buried on his chest.

I blinked several times, trying to process what had happened as I looked up at his Rainbow Eyes that were carved in Kanji, symbolizing 'Uppermoon Two'. "I'm sorry, but.. Who are you?" I asked softly, knowing damn well who he was. But, I wanted to see for myself.

He looked down at me, smiling widely as he chuckled. "Ah, I apologize. How inconsiderate of me!" He moved his body away from mine, bowing slightly. "My name is Douma." He looked up at me, tilting his head to one side. "What is your name, little doll?"

I nodded, starting to speak in a soft, gentle tone. "Nice to meet you, Douma. You can call me (Y/N)/(L/N).

"The pleasure is all mine. I must say though.. that is such an interesting name!" Douma clapped his hands, laughing softly with a bright smile, except.. it was different. Right.. I forgot he isn't able to feel Human Emotions.

My eyes then widened slightly as I heard him, blinking several times. ..WAS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE A COMPLIMENT?? ..Alright, calm yourself (Y/N). You can just threaten him to sing Let It Go.

I smiled widely at him, chuckling as I nodded. "Thank you, Douma-sama!" He narrowed his eyes, shaking his head. "You don't need to call me that, sweetheart. Douma is just fine."

I AM NOT TRYING TO GET KILLED BY YOUR FOLLOWERS, DOUMA. I thought to myself, still looking at him with an innocent smile. "Alright! If you insist, Douma."

He hummed softly, inspecting me as he narrowed his eyes. "Could I ask something, (Y/N)-Chan?"

I quickly nodded, crossing my arms. "Sure, go for it."

He continued to smile, nodding as he looked around. "Mm.. What are you doing here all alone at night?"

...IT'S ALREADY NIGHT??!?!! I looked around in disbelief, noticing the sun had already gone down. I sighed angrily to myself, looking back at him with a forced smile.

"Well uhm, I was just admiring the flowers here!"

Douma started to chuckle, petting my head as he grinned softly. "I didn't know you were such a humourous person, (Y/N)-Chan!"

I flinched just slightly at his touch, my eyes widening just slightly. ..DID THIS LITTLE GREMLIN JUST CALL ME A CLOWN???! I'LL SHOW HIM-

I quickly snapped out of it, coughing as I tried to control my thoughts. "Hah, yea.. I am quite the humourous person when I want to be."

He smiled, starting to grab his fan as he fanned his lower face. "I can see that, dear. Though.. Can I ask another question?"

No. "Of course!" I continued to smile innocently, wanting to get this long ass conversation over with.

"Mm.." He leaned in closer, raising an eyebrow. "Where do you live?"

My eyes immediately widened, realizing I had nowhere to go. I chuckled nervously, looking away as I murmured. "Hah, you know.."

"I don't, doll." AHHHHH JUST GET THE SIGN AND LEAVE DOUMA-

I looked back at him, nodding as I chuckled. "I uhm.. actually just moved here!"

He continued to fan himself, tilting his head slightly. "Is that so? ...So.. you have nowhere to go? Such a pity.." He made the most unhappy fake sigh I have ever heard.

Just then, his eyes immediately brightened. "Oh, I know! You could stay in my cult!"

PLEASPLEADEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASENONONONONONPNONONONONONO.... "You have a cult?" I ended up saying that, so yay.

He quickly shut the fan, nodding as he started to grab my arm gently. "Yep! It's called the Eternal Paradise Cult. It is where-"

As he was going on with his yapping, I looked around, narrowing my eyes once more. Suddenly, my gaze landed on him. He just looked so... Perfect. ! NO WAIT (Y/N).. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS! INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS!!!

He started to look at me, realizing that I was staring like an idiot. He smiled softly, stopping. It immediately made me react as I snapped out of my trance, stopping as well.

"Did you actually hear anything I said, (Y/N)-Chan?" He grinned, chuckling.

I looked down, embarrassed as I murmured. "Of course I was!. I was just.. looking at the Forest."

He chuckled, nodding as he smiled. "I can tell. It really is such a devine sight to look at, isn't it?" He narrowed his eyes, humming contently.

I laughed nervously, quickly nodding. "Mhm! It really is such a great sight!" I tried to change the topic as I immediately started to yawn, stretching my arms. "Though.. I'm quite tired. Could we possibly go there already?"

He nodded, starting to walk once again. "Ah that's right! It has been such a long day.. You can't miss your sleep. Let's go there now, then."

I quickly nodded, relieved that we were FINALLY changing the topic.

────────────★─────────────

"Well.. Here we are! What do you think?" He smiled, looking back at me as he waited for my reaction.

..HOLY SHIT- THIS PLACE IS BIG. HOW IN THE WORLD-

I continued to blink several times, quickly nodding as I chuckled. "It's really beautiful! Everything is fascinating here."

He smiled, looking around. "I'm glad you think that, (Y/N)-Chan. You'll be living here from now on, and I want you to be comfortable."

I mean.. who wouldn't be comfortable here? There are so many things! Those lotus flowers are really precious.. They fit with the warm and welcoming atmosphere here. You know, I might just get used to- .....Wait, what did he say? ..DID HE SAY THAT I WOULD LIVE HERE FOREVER??? OVER MY DEAD BODY-

I tried to keep my cool, quickly looking back at him as I smiled. "I'm glad to live here now! It really is such a precious sight to see!"

He smirked softly, amused with my reaction. "I'm glad to hear that then, my dear. Let's go inside now!"

He grabbed my arm gently once again, starting to walk inside the temple. I tried not to panic as my heart raced while the doors opened.

"Now then.. I should probably give you the tour tomorrow since you're tired. Such a shame." He sighed, petting her head. "I'll go ahead and bring you to your room then."

[Author's POV]:

As they walked towards her new room, she couldn't help but admire the atmosphere and the whole building. It was filled with such a pleasant feeling, one that you wouldn't be able to find so commonly. She smiled softly at herself, still unsure if she could trust him.

She sighed, deciding to at least give it a chance so he wouldn't lose the trust he had with her. Even if it was just a small portion of trust.

"Well, here we are! Do you want to go in now, Doll?" Douma asked softly, starting to open the door while he looked back at her.

She quickly responded, nodding as she chuckled. "I would love to! I already feel extremely tired." No kidding.. I need at least 20 hours of sleep to survive in this world. Still wouldn't fulfill me though.

He nodded, starting to open the door fully as he chuckled. "Well then dear. Make yourself at home."

Her eyes quickly widened as she saw the room, her eyes filled with amazement. The room was extremely beautiful-the walls were covered with a soft red color while a white-blueish Futon was in the middle, bigger than the ones she had ever seen.

Mm.. Maybe this isn't going to be so bad after all. She smiled to herself, starting to clap her hands. "It's perfect! Thank you Douma!" She looked back at him, smiling.

He laughed softly, his eyes locking with hers as he gave her a small nod. "It was my pleasure. Now.. you should go to sleep. You need the rest for tomorrow."

She smiled widely, walking towards the Futon as she chuckled. "Right! Thank you once again, Douma. Goodnight."

He nodded, starting to walk out of the room. "Of course. Goodnight, sweetheart." He hummed, closing the door behind him as he leaned against it for a bit, grinning.

"Soon, my dear.."
