Elise put a moment of silence in the room. She pulled many of her questions that popped inside her mind when she learned she had the chance. But then Ian told her that soon he would tell his past. She thought to ask only one question that had been haunting her mind.

"Before in the past," started Elise and she saw Ian watching her with his eyes studying her expression like he always did to her and any other people he met, "Were you a human?"

She wondered when this question stemmed from. Ian said he acquired his black wings. It should be clear by now that he was not a Demon since birth, but that was only her drawn conclusions. Hallow told her that no humans could turn to demon. But Ian had always been different from others, thought Elise. He was always unique and special. A one of a kind.

She looked at Ian whose body was still leaning on the side of the wall. He then pushed himself as she waited for his reply. "I was a human." Ian dropped the statement.

Elise felt surprised even though she had a feeling her thoughts were correct, "How did you turn to a Demon-" before she could continue, Ian pressed his index finger on her lips, stopping her from continuing.

"One question is all I promised you," Ian reminded her who almost asked another question. "I would like to answer you, but there is just this side of mine that wants to do the opposite thing of what you want me to do. Like now, hanging you on, but maybe this would help you learn what you also did to me."

Elise raised her brow, "What I did?" What did she do? She didn't remember doing what Ian did to her, striking her curiosity high only to let it stay there for her curiosity to haunt her.

"This," Ian's eyes trailed on her appearance, making sure his gaze boldly tell her what he saw, "Dressing me like this, making me feel stirred to want you on my bed, despite not thinking of doing it now until marriage, that's what you do, Elise."

Elise was once again reminded of her clothes which she had forgotten, and quickly she shyly pulled the blanket to cover her front, trying to cover what she could. "That wasn't what I wanted to do, I was about to cover myself, but y-you didn't let me to."

"Did I?" Ian posed an oblivious expression as if he can't understand what Elise was saying which had her to frown. 

She saw Ian walking, and she said, "Hallow told me that humans can't turn to Demons."

"Well his thinking is flawed, there are set of rules made but I broke them, like how I am now breaking the rules, and God to be with you," Ian smiled at Elise and he pulled her hand which was holding the blanket to cover her front. Elise felt her heart skipped on both his words and his hand that firmly pulled her in one swift action, "You know I don't do things that is futile. I never did this for anyone— I have never held any patience as much as I do to you. To love someone is the first time I have ever known and all of this is only for you."

"It is my first time too, to love someone," she whispered and a smile appeared on her lips, "We have similarities. Not just this but I believe inside you too," she smiled at the end.

"But there is also different things between us, Elise. Unlike you I don't weep for the dead. There is a part of you which is very humane. For the first time when I am with you, I feel myself being a human even though I don't really care to be a human," said Ian to her. Elise listened to the words quietly, thinking that Ian wanted to be heard.

He never want to learn of other's emotions at some point along with his memory that began to fade he didn't think it was important to feel emotions. But with Elise he learned that having an emotion wasn't a bad thing. Each day he looked forward to see her, and to feel the emotion she currently had. And at some point, Ian just want to look at Elise's expression without feeling a bore.

He said, "There are other things that set us apart but I feel like we were made for each other, and for that God did a great job," Ian smirked and say, "Maybe one day I should pray and thank God for his doing. To unite us together. Although I'm not fond of church once in a while like last time should be alright."

"I could do that on your behalf," Elise said to him. Her heart was feeling fluffy and woozy, "Or we could go together."

"Not sure if there would be Angel who wait for us, but let's do that," Ian pulled the fabric upper to cover her collar bone.

Elise saw him walking from her side going to leave her room and she pulled his sleeve, stopping him which garnered his gaze on her. "We have another similarities."

Ian looked interested in the words, "And what may that be?" 

"Kindness," she said for a look of a small evil smirk pulled higher on Ian's lips, and Elise who expected the reaction continued, "I know you have kindness. Like the time you helped Maroon and Lilith. There is a kindness in you Ian that shine brighter. I think that what's make you different from other Demons." 

Elise had seen many of Ian's kindness she thought that it was weird he didn't see this as kindness. But perhaps there was only some things that others could see in you that yourself couldn't see.

"It might look so for you," said Ian as his smile softened. For the first time there was someone who called him kind which felt somewhere strange to Ian. "I will wait at the entrance. Take your time."
