The Devil's Secret Crush on an Angel

[Blurb posted on February 2; screenshots saved] The main story and extras are complete. Gong’s POV, mutual pining, demon gong × angel shou Ametis recently realized that he had fallen for a boy at his school named Helier. Unfortunately, nearly half the school thought the two of them hated each other. He liked Helier and wanted to get closer to him, but he was afraid the rumors were true and that Helier really did hate him. All he could do was sit glumly in front of the wall covered in doodles of angels and demons, thinking over and over about Helier’s shining silhouette, as radiant as an angel’s. But how could Helier possibly be an angel? Ametis laughed at his own imagination. Sure, Helier looked like an angel from a myth, but he dressed as coolly as he could, usually in ragged-looking jeans and a skull shirt. He always had a sour look on his face when he went out, making anyone who wanted to approach him think twice. Yet on December 21, 2012, as the world teetered on the brink of destruction, Ametis saw Helier amid the crumbling ruins, his six enormous wings of light dazzling brilliantly. So he really was an angel. Ametis looked down and saw dark scales faintly appearing on his arm. And I’m a demon. …Could an angel fall in love with a demon? With that question on his mind, Ametis cautiously approached Helier. He hid his excessive possessiveness, and as they went on adventures, the two of them grew closer and closer. Holding hands, embracing, even sharing a light kiss… Gradually, Ametis realized that Helier had no limits when it came to him. Because his angel seemed to have a crush on him too. [Angels only feel physical desire for their true love.] That was what The Book of Angels said. Helier turned to the next page without giving the sentence much thought. After all, he’d never been interested in romance, from childhood to adulthood, and had no idea what people found so appealing about it. If he wanted a companion for life, finding a friend to spend his life with seemed like a good choice too. That might be difficult, but he was lucky enough to find the friend he loved most, the most important person in his life. Helier hid half his face behind the book and secretly looked at the profile of the demon beside him. They could hold hands and hug. In battle, they were each other’s shield and spear. At night, they could sleep side by side, giving each other warmth in body and spirit. But the unfamiliar flutter in his heart grew more and more intense. One night, his body’s long-suppressed reactions erupted. Helier looked at Ametis sleeping and fled in a panic. Leaning against the bathroom wall, he blushed at his own reaction and kept thinking back over all the moments they had shared. I think I fell in love with him a long time ago. Helier only realized it belatedly. A refined, gentle demon gong with a slightly mischievous streak × an angel shou who looks like a delinquent but is actually very innocent Reading Guide: 1.
