Small piles of gray ash sit around variously sized charred holes on your comforter. Your brand new comforter. There is only one culprit you can think of.

“Daehyun!”

“Yeah?” he shouts back from the living room.

You rush into the room, tugging the large comforter behind you.

“Look at this!” you lift it up in front of his face, pointing out one of the many burned spots.

His eyes grow wide and he shrinks back into the pillows on the couch.

“You’ve burned my brand new comforter and left piles of ash all over my bed. Honestly, can’t you control yourself at all?” you huff.

Daehyun gives you a half-smile, “I’m sorry, I got really, um, excited with you earlier. Sometimes I can’t control my flames when I’m that, well, you know. Excited.”

You slap a hand over your face and shake your head. This is what you get for going against the rules and dating a demon.

“Hey,” Daehyun soothes, “Come here. I’m really sorry.” He tugs you down to straddle his lap and you begin to melt instantly under his touch. “I’ll buy you a new one,” he murmurs against the skin of your neck.

“And a new pillow,” you bargain, already running your fingers through his hair.

“Promise.”

He finds your lips and kisses you deeply, distracting your mind from your ruined bedding. But you pull back when an alarming scent reaches you.

“Do you smell something burning?”
