Sehun’s lips were warm. It was as if Kai was kissing the sun that he so dearly missed. Sehun timidly pressed his lips harder against the demon’s. Kai brought a hand to Sehun’s cheek and caressed the soft skin tenderly.

For a few blissful seconds, everything seemed right. Normal. It was as if the balance between good and evil was suddenly equal. Nothing could touch them.

And then Kai came to his senses. He pulled away from Sehun sharply. Sehun stared at him, stunned. Kai’s mouth opened and closed and then, in a split second, he was gone.

Sehun had never kissed anyone before. He now wondered if Kai could sense it and that maybe it was his lack of experience that drove the demon away. It seemed like a stupid reason, but Sehun had nothing better to do than to try and rationalize the situation.

Sehun sighed and clicked away at his keyboard. He’d gotten a lot of writing done in the last few weeks. He was actually pro
