Chapter 10 - Memories & Touch

"Now leave, head to your room and get some rest, I need to think about this." Black Hat tells her as he pointed to the door. 

Rachel nodded and agreed to let him think about it. She gets off there and walked out. 

-----------------------------------------------------------

Black Hat watched her leave, then he sighed again. He holds his head, for a second. 

After that, he sat down now, to think about everything. Especially this. 

He remembered when he realized that he had feelings for Rachel and the night they got together. 

At first from him being a demon and evil, he didn't know or understand these feelings at all. It was strange to him. 

Black Hat thought that he had a disease, honestly. 

-----------------------------------------------------------

They had stayed away from each other for two days, no one in the mansion noticed. For awhile they did this, until one day. 

It was night. 

Black Hat was in the shadows, in that darkness, watching Rachel. 

Then, he got closer to her until he was behind this human female. He trapped Rachel in the lab (Flug is sleeping in his room). 

Rachel gets a little bit scared. 

Which was unusual and shocked that demonic being, slightly. 

Black Hat pinned her against the wall.

It got them to talk. 

"Rachel, I don't know what's going on with me. It's weird. I have these strange feelings for you." 

"I have feelings for you too, Black Hat. More than you just being my boss." Rachel smiled at the end. 

Black Hat had a smile as well. He also leaned down, over her and into those soft lips. 

He kissed her, staring in these dark green eyes of hers which he secretly loves. 

Rachel hummed softly, kissing him too. She stared at him, deeply into his crimson red eyes. She loved them, as much as him. 

They both were smiling, still letting that kiss last a little bit longer. 

Black Hat promised himself, to protect and love her. He would probably try to be a better man too. 

Rachel felt glad to just be closer to him. She wrapped her arms around him, tightly. 

Black Hat was also wrapping his arms around Rachel's body, holding her close. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That next morning, Black Hat wakes up in his bed. He hoped that it wasn't a dream. Which is rare for eldritch demons to have. 

Black Hat was sighing in relief when he notices someone else in that bed with him. 

It was Rachel, of course. 

Rachel was still asleep, peacefully. 

Black Hat smiled, quietly, silently at that. He turned from his back, onto his side, he lays down with her. 

He snuggled and nuzzled against her, he saw that Rachel had a smile in her sleep. 

They cuddled now, with each other again. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After that, everything got better. 

They are loving and affectionate to each other. Both of them always cuddling and kissing. In secret, naturally. 

-----------------------------------------------------------

Black Hat snapped out of it. Out of his thoughts and thinking these memories. 

He decided on something. 

That he will stay with her, even if he was a demon and she is a human, having a child together too. 

Black Hat knew in his undead heart the truth, he loved her. Even if he can't say it out loud yet, he admits that to himself, his love for Rachel. 

He gets off there from where he had sat down, walking out of his room. 

-----------------------------------------------------------

Black Hat walked down the hallway and into Rachel's room. He noticed that she wasn't there. Which was strange to him. 

He turned around, about to leave and look somewhere else for her. Until he feels something. 

Black Hat felt someone had wrapped their arms around him, giving this eldritch demon a hug from behind. 

He tensed slightly, before he realized who it was there. 

It's Rachel, naturally. 

Black Hat sighed softly (maybe in relief and comforted by her presence). He puts his clawed hand over Rachel's arm, as he holds it. 

He closed his eyes (especially that visible one), staying where he was. 

Rachel did the same. She stayed there. 

Her warm body against Black Hat's cold being.

Eventually, after that, it seemed that Black Hat opened his eyes and turns himself around again. 

His stare is on her, once again. 

Black Hat got close slightly, as he was leaning in. He kissed Rachel, almost gently. 

Rachel lets him do that, getting another smile against Black Hat's icy lips. 

A nice shiver ran down her. In a good feeling. 

They stay there, still kissing, holding each other even closer again now.
