“Is it because you’d think I’d leave you if I found out you only like me because I’m a demon?” Shimmer said with a raised brow. She didn’t sound angry when she said that, just… curious.
“I-I mean, I-I don’t only like you because of that! That’s.. why I liked y-you at first, but.. but you also watch r-really good movies.. and.. and have pretty hair.. and the way you get crushes on people is kinda funny…”
Savanna gulped. “B-But yeah, I thought.. you’d leave me if you thought I…”
Shimmer giggled softly at the last part with a blush on her face. “Yeah, I do get pretty silly when I’m like that, especially around… well, you-know-who.” She said with a wink and light nudge.
“But can I tell you a secret?” Shimmer said, leaning in close. “I always… kinda knew that was why you liked me. At least after we got over that rocky first meeting we had. Which, I never properly apologized for… but, then I got to know you. You’re smart, kind, funny, and while you can be a bit… impulsive sometimes, you’ve got a good heart, with a lot to still learn. You’re young, Sav. And stuff like this does happen.”
She ruffled her hair a bit, say “It wasn’t right of Nero to do what he did to you. He needs to understand that your still young. You’ve got a lot of idols that you look up too, and that it isn’t just him alone, ya know?”
