CONCEPT: ANGST & FLUFF

WARNING: DEPRESSION

//Angel and Devil. Everyone has a set of them, sitting on each of their shoulder. And depending on which one they listen to more. That one, would be more visible. This has been the ability you have growing up. Able to see the angel and devil on everyone, one more opaque than the other. And you have never seen anyone with only one left on their shoulder. Until now//

Ren: Hi, I’m Ren. Nice to meet you.

Y/N: Hi. I’m Y/N. It’s nice to meet you too.

Ren: It’s nice to finally meet you. I was actually worried you’re not going to show up.

Y/N: Why wouldn’t I? Didn’t we agree on meeting?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ren, you met him through Tumblr a few months ago. Coming across his Tumblr page by accident. It was just another typical day you’re browsing through Tumblr, until you saw a drawing that peak your interest. A fanart of Gaara from Naruto. You can’t deny that, one of the reasons you were captivated was because it was your favourite character from Naruto. But what draws you in was the detailing of the art. And the fact that, the fan artist uses water colour paint.

Peaking your interest, you went to the Tumblr page and saw the variety of water coloured panting of anime characters. All the paintings were all very well done. And you found out that, this fan artist, does painting upon request from his followers. And the person has quite a huge following on Tumblr. It’s funny how you didn’t find him or her until now. The person blog was intricate and artistic, fill with colours. But there is no information about the artist or is there any his or her picture.

With that you started requesting fanart from the person. Stating a simple fanart request of Conan from Case closed. And to your surprise, the artist actually replied you straight away. Stating that he or she will work on it. And that was the start of everything.

Both of you start out as a fan requesting from an artist. But slowly both of you started talking about your love for a certain anime character you both like. Slowly these conversations faded away, and both of you started talking about other things instead of your interest of anime. Such as your hobbies, what food you like to eat and so on.

With that you found out a few things about him. Yes him. You finally found out his gender and how old is him. 22 just like you, trying to get a degree. He was studying sonic art while you are studying business management. And you found out that both of you actually live in the same area. Which leads to today meeting//

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

//Staring at the devil on his shoulders. You freeze. Making sure your eyes are not playing tricks on you. You have never encounter this before. No one has only one of it on their shoulder. And to say the worst, he has only a devil on his shoulder. Should you make a run for it? What is going to happen? Are you in danger?//

Ren: Hey you alright?

//Looking at him with his doe eyes. Round specs, sweater and sweatpants. How can someone like him only has a devil on his shoulder? Is he a murderer? Is he a psychopath? This just doesn’t make sense. He is such as nice guy. Or is this all a trap?//

Y/N: Sorry. Ya. I’m alright.

Ren: Let’s go grab a seat.

Y/N: Sure.

//Taking your seat with him sitting opposite you in a restaurant booth. Going through the menu, you can’t help but glance at the devil on his shoulder. He could clearly see that the devil was talking to him. Telling him something you couldn’t hear. But you could tell from his expression, he was trying hard to ignore it. As if having an internal battle with himself. What is he really like? Do I need to excuse myself and get the hell out of here?

You notice that even though he was trying to not make it obvious, he was actually tugging on his sweater sleeves. Making you even curious of what he was hiding. As the waiter came and took your order, both of you give your order and the waiter was off. Hence, as the waiter leaves, Ren started out a casual conversation. Talking about how he started to find his love for art. Just how can someone with so much passion for something. And how his eyes were shinning have just a devil on his. Just what was he hiding?

You didn’t know you would find out the answer so soon.

As the waiter came back with both of your food, placing it on the table. Proceeding to place your drinks on the table, when he lost his balance. Toppling the drinks on Ren. Which took 3 of you in surprise. With your heart beating hard in your chest, you’re wondering how Ren would react. But I only took you by surprise when, he gives a small smile to the waiter, telling him it was alright. Going back to clean his shirt and sleeves.

Weird, Definitely weird.

Dropping your sigh from his face, he was tugging on his sleeves again when he cleans it. But this time, you manage to catch what he was hiding under his sleeves. Which took you by surprise. But it didn’t go unnoticed by Ren. His eyes when wide, tugging his sleeves down as much as he could, as if it wasn’t hiding already. You look up at the devil on his shoulder. Whispering things to him, that you couldn’t hear. While he looks clear uncomfortable, close to tears even.

It all makes sense now. Those scars he has been hiding under his sleeves. The devil whispering to him. The devil wasn’t there because he was a bad person. Definitely not because he listens to him and hurt others. But instead, he listens to him, and hurt himself.

With that you took his hands to yours, making his look at you with his wide doe eyes//

Y/N: Don’t. Don’t listen to him.

//Squeezing his hands in your eve tighter//

Y/N: You’re worth it. You’re much than what he tells you of you. You’re important. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Especially not the voice in your head.

//As tears fell from his eyes, his tense expression loosen. And was replaced with a smile bright smile instead//

Ren: Thank you.

//And slowly you saw a small white translucent angel appearing and sitting on the end of his shoulder. Accompanied by a less opaque devil on the other end of his shoulder//

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*1 year later*

//Him curling up between your arms, resting his head on your shoulder. While your hands curled around his back. Both of you lounging on his couch. Placing a kiss on his head, he lifted his face that was buried on your neck. Looking up at you, smiling widely//

Y/N: I love you.

Ren: I love you too Y/N. Thank you.

//Rising up to meet your eyes, he placed a tender kiss on your lips. Before breaking into a smile. Looking at him with so much love in your eyes. You smile at the opaque angel left on his shoulder//

You brought the angel out of my devil. And I’ll forever be grateful for that.
