"Who is the one who takes the initiative?"
Nix has never been a reserved demon. He always reaches for what he wants directly, regardless of the means, or even regardless. But on the other fall, Ellis is the only thing he can't take.
Therefore, when he finally summoned up the courage to express his feelings to Ellis, he thought that the cold man would at least be stunned, hesitate, or even frown and think. However, Ellis just looked at him quietly, as if he had known that he would do this, neither surprised nor resisted.
What's worse, Ellis didn't back down, but took it all for granted.
——It's like...acquiescing that he has always been his own.
Nicks didn't realise anything was wrong at first. He was still immersed in his bold declaration, hoping that Alice would at least give something to respond. But not long after, he realised the subtle changes in things--
Ellis's attitude is not like a person who is being pursued at all.
For example, when Nix is a little emotional, he will logically rub his hair to calm him down; when Nix complains that he is tired, he will naturally hand over a cup of warm drink, like coaxing a child; sometimes, even deliberately make trouble to see if Ellis will show a different expression because of his "arrogance", but Ellis just looked at him indifferently, with gentle indulgence in his eyes, not like a person who was "teasing" at all, but like watching a child playing his temper.
Nix suddenly realised that--
I was the one who was held.
This discovery made him angry on the spot. How could he accept that he was the one who was controlled by Ellis? He is a devil! How can the devil be led by a human?!
So he decided to resist.
First of all, he wants to take back the initiative.
Nix began to create opportunities intentionally or unintentionally. For example, he would deliberately approach Ellis, trying to make him lose his cool in a charming way; when Ellis was working in the case, he would get close and say some seductive words in his ear with a smile on his mouth to observe whether Ellis would panic; he even tried to pretend to take Ellis' hand carelessly during a walk one night to see his reaction.
However——
Ellis is still the same Alice, calmer than Nix. He is not like a seduced person, but more like an adult who tolerates children's pranks.
"Knicks." When the devil deliberately got too close, Ellis finally reached out to hold his forehead and pushed him away a little, "Don't make a fuss."
Nix was so angry that his tail exploded: "What do you mean by don't make a fuss?! I'm serious!"
Ellis blinked, his eyes fell on his cheeks, which were slightly red with anger, and smiled in a low voice: "Well, I know."
——This is the most angry part. Ellis knows everything at all, but he is as stable as Mount Tai, even calm as people gnashing their teeth!
Nix stared at him, and finally pounced on him and grabbed Ellis' collar viciously: "Do you think you've eaten me?"
Ellis looked down at the demon nearby, and his expression was still so calm that he wanted to beat him. His fingers put on Nix's wrist with a slight force. Instead, Nix was pulled closer by him.
"Knicks." Ellis's voice was slow, low and steady, "Are you declaring war on me?"
Knicks was suddenly speech-strecked.
He did want to take back the initiative, but why, at this time, he is more like the controlled party?!
No, no! He is the devil, he is the one who should control the situation!
He bared his teeth and tried to say something to save the situation, but Ellis just looked at him with a little silent smile in his eyes.
In the end, Knicks was completely blown up. He pushed Alice away and turned around angrily: " Forget it! I don't care! I don't want to be a passive party!"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Finally, he said angrily: "From today on, you are mine!"
Ellis laughed in a low voice, standing still and looking at the demon who was leaving in anger, his eyes were so soft that he didn't even notice.
"Hmm." He whispered, as if responding to Nix's declaration just now.
