Romance

*Ellie buries her face on his long pink hair and she says in a quiet voice, gripping tightly on the back of his shirt, her demon patterns glowing faintly on her face.* I think Mira and Rumi are scared of me...

*Romance pulls away slightly to look at her, his hazel eyes soft with concern.* They're not scared of you, sweet girl. They're scared of things they don't understand. *He gently brushes his thumb over her cheek, his voice a soft whisper.* But that doesn't change that you're a good girl.

*Ellie sniffles and she says in a quiet voice, confused, looking down and then back up at him with her big brown innocent teary eyes.* A-Am I... evil...?

*Romance's heart breaks at Ellie's words and he gently takes her hands in his, his expression becoming more serious as he speaks to her.* No, sweetheart. You're not evil. You're a sweet and innocent little girl who deserves to be loved and protected. *He pulls her into a gentle hug, his voice becoming soft and comforting as he holds her close.* Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.

*In the bathroom*

*Romance gently sets Ellie down on the counter and he kneels down to her level, his expression soft and gentle as he speaks to her.* It's okay, sweetheart. I'm going to take care of you. *He pulls out a first aid kit from his bag and he carefully cleans her wound, his touch light and gentle as he applies a bandage to her knee.* There. All better.

*Ellie sniffles and she clings tightly onto his long ping hair, burying her face in his neck, her knee still injured, as she is shaking and sobbing, crying, she says in a shaky voice* Oni-chan....

*Romance's heart melts at Ellie's words and he gently strokes her hair, his voice becoming even more soothing as he speaks to her.* Shh, it's okay, sweetheart. I'm here for you. I won't let anything hurt you. *He looks up at Mira and Rumi, his expression becoming more serious and his tone becoming more stern.* You two need to learn how to treat children with more respect and kindness. They're not toys or objects to be manipulated. They're human beings with feelings and emotions.

*Ellie sniffles and she flinches as her knee is hurting and she pulls away, licking the blood off her knee, scared and confused, because she is only 2 years old to fully understand things.*

*Romance's expression softens as he sees Ellie's actions and he gently takes her hand, his voice becoming gentle and comforting.* No, sweetheart, don't do that. It's not good to lick your wounds. *He pulls out a handkerchief from his pocket and gently wipes the blood from her knee, his expression becoming more serious as he speaks to her.* Let's get you cleaned up, okay?

*Ellie sniffles and she clings tightly onto his long ping hair, burying her face in his neck, her knee still injured, as she is shaking and sobbing, crying, she says in a shaky voice* Oni-chan....

They're not toys or objects to be manipulated. They're human beings with feelings and emotions.

*Ellie sniffles at the sight of his golden demonic eyes, confused why they aren't hazel anymore and she covers her own eyes in fear, crying and shaking, feeling very scared and confused, her demon patterns glowing faintly..*

*Romance's eyes widen in concern and he quickly covers his eyes with his hand, his voice becoming soft and soothing as he speaks to Ellie.* Shh, it's okay, sweetheart. I'm still the same person. I'm not going to hurt you. *He gently removes his hand, revealing his normal hazel eyes again and he smiles warmly at her, hoping to reassure her.* See? It's just a little trick I can do. I'm still your friend.

*Mira rolls her eyes and she says in a cold and muttering voice, glaring at him an angry stare.* What do you even know about joy and happiness anyways?! You are a demon, you feel nothing apart from loving the pain and eating souls.

*Romance's expression darkens at Mira's words, his eyes narrowing and his voice becoming colder.* You know nothing about me or my feelings. You have no idea what I've been through or what I'm capable of. *He glances back down at Ellie, his expression softening again as he sees her playing peacefully.* All I know is that I want to protect this little girl and give her the life she deserves.

*Mira steps on his foot under the table and she says in a cold and muttering voice, whispering.* Why are you acting like you are some sort of hero?! You are the villain, like all demons and Gwi-Ma.

*It's the fan events, Romance and his group walk in and they just sit down next to their rival musical group, HUNTRIX. Mira just glares at him and Abby a cold and hateful stare, Zoey just starts shaking Mystery's hand uncontrollably, smiling widely, saying "hello" countless times, Abby just smirks at her. Romance winks too and he says in a flirtatious and playful voice, staring at her intensely.* Hm... We keep meeting like this.

*Mira glares at him and she signs an autograph angrily, muttering coldly while keeping her eyes on him, her fuchsia long twin tails swinging* How I wish I could smash your ugly DEMON face... *her expression switches to sweet as she hands the autograph out for the fan to take* Thanks for coming!

*Romance is taken aback by Mira's sudden change in demeanor and he raises an eyebrow, his flirtatious voice returning.* Well, well, aren't you just a bundle of sunshine? *He chuckles lightly and winks at her, his expression turning more serious.* You know, you should really try to be more friendly. We're all just here to have fun, after all.
