Crimson colored love

"What does love mean for you?"

Felix squeezed her hands. "For once, little one I can not answer you in a more explanatory way, for I lack the knowledge upon emotion such as love. For never in my existence, I experienced love." his other hands reach towards her chin turning her head in his direction. "All I know is I wanted to make you happy. After all, you are the only one that stayed. Nobody ever decided to stay. Nobody ever wanted me around. So, how could I not give you everything you wanted?" he said in his deep melodic voice. 

A bead of tears rolled out at the side of her eyes. She can't. She can't love him more than friends. If she does she had to choose between him and her family. She can't leave her parents. And she can't leave him. He already gave her everything she wanted. So she guessed it was her turn to give him what he wanted. 

She looked away from his beautiful radiant eyes swallowing the pain, she looked up in the sky again. 

"Of course, what kind of a friend am I if I leave a lonely demon like you right?" she giggled as she repressed the ache in her chest.

If she only knew her demon friend would react differently to her decision, she should have been more honest.

. . .

She was just another homeless girl wandering the street. Another human filth in a city which populated mostly by monsters. A nameless girl with a troublesome past that forcefully shoved and buried six feet under. Until she met a man that is willing to help her. Offered her the help she needed, to build a new life she always wanted. In exchange with a deal from the man's boss. 

But why her?
