"Don't rush," Akaza's voice was low. His hand interlocked with yours to keep you steady. "I don't want you to fall."

The sound of the waters hit your ears as he took you across the river. You relied on him to take you places that you probably wouldn't be able to if he hadn't come across you.

Since you couldn't see, he preferred if you hadn't known he was a demon. Maybe this would be different for him. Something inside him made his insides tingle whenever you needed him for basic things. If you knew what he was, you wouldn't act this way.

"Slowly.." he helped you off the rock, before pulling you close. "There." His hand brushed a strand of hair out of your face.
