Pierce didn’t question you, he simply brought a hand up to your head, gently patting your hair as the tears rolled down your cheeks. His expression was one of shock and confusion as you made eye-contact with him. You looked up to come face-to-face with none other than the blue-horned daemos: Pierce. They were faint at first, but they eventually echoed louder and louder. You backed against the wall and slid down, hugging your knees to your chest. The sound of your heels clanking against the floor echoed throughout until you found a place to sulk in. without thinking you did something foolish: you ran into the daemos’ common room and proceeded into the many hallways. But not in here, you didn’t need anyone witnessing your mental breakdown. Tears welled in your eyes, threatening to spill down your cheeks. As soon as you passed the threshold, something inside you collapsed, you couldn’t take it anymore, you broke down. You were only the sidekick, the disposable one… The reality set in, you would never have him… it wasn’t meant to be.Īfter all, Ava was the protagonist of this narrative. Or so you thought… normally, you wouldn’t be bothered by the sight of Ava and Noi together, but today was different.


There was no need to, it was a silly crush, after all. You promised yourself that you wouldn’t cry. They looked so… happy… you could never gather up your courage and tell him your feelings… maybe… just maybe… if you told him about your feelings sooner, he could have been yours. You whipped your head toward the source of the laughter.

At that moment, you heard a familiar laugh: Ava. “A Toast!” You chanted before downing the entire glass. “To a wonderful and prosperous life!” Your friend continued as you hesitantly raised your champagne flute. You looked around the brightly lit restaurant as your friends joined in on the toast. “Cheers!” One of your friends raised a glass. You had always been there for the daemos, from when he burned his hand on the heat box, to when he caught his horns on a bush – you still couldn’t figure out how the hell he ended up in that situation.īut there was something in his eyes that sparked when he set eyes on your roommate. There was no denying the chemistry between Ava and Noi, and it hurt you deeply. Yet, you knew that Noi’s heart was in Ava’s hands. Something within you still clung to the last sting of hope that maybe, just maybe someone like you could end up with the daemos that you had fallen for. It was a battle between your brain and your heart. Every time you passed an advertisement selling a product of sorts, you couldn’t help but reminded of him. But you couldn’t help but pay mind to a certain thought lingering within your consciousness. The day started out great, you and your friends went crazy at your favorite stores and filmed each other clowning around. Your friends had dragged you out of seclusion, they had noticed that you were silent recently and wanted to cheer you up. But how long could that last? Seeing the two of them together slowly chipped away at your resistance. But it was fine, your friendship with Ava meant more to you than your feelings for Noi. You had to admit, it hurt you to see them together. It wasn’t exactly love, nor could it be considered infatuation. There was something more to your feelings towards Noi. His smile lit up the room… It was evident that this wasn’t just a crush anymore. His laugh radiated an energy that comforted you. Synopsis: Noi: the daemos of your dreams… he was never meant to be yours… and you knew that. Noi x Reader (a lil bit of x Pierce) | Chasing Hope
