The Incubus System Chapter 49. Insecurity

Larry and I walked over to the empty seats with our food in our hands.

"Believe me, their chicken tortilla wrap is so good," said Larry, putting his tray on the table and sitting down.

"I thought you only ate junk food." I also put down my tray and sat across him.

"Don't equate me with you. I've been breaking up with junk food for a long time," he scolded.

"Hey, I already started adding more greens to my sandwich. It should be more healthy now," I defended myself.

"It's still unhealthy. You should eat more healthy food like this." He lifted his chicken wrap and took a big bite.

"Tway it!" he said in mouth full.

I took a bite of my chicken wrap. The crispy taste of the fresh vegetables and tomato filled my mouth, mixed with the creamy, tangy, sour taste of the ranch sauce and the umami flavour of the baked chicken pieces.

"Yow wight ---- tis is gwod." My mouth was busy chewing it. It seems like all the food tastes good for me because I always eat jam sandwiches for almost a year. Well, I had no other choice because my finances were too tight.

"Ah, I almost forgot. Don't forget to do your assignment for next Monday," I reminded him.

He was petrified in shock.

"We have an assignment due next Monday?"

I snorted irritably. I expected this, so I reminded him on purpose.

"That's a final assignment, if you don't submit it you will fail," I warned him.

He was silent for a moment before shrugged indifferently.

"I'll do it on Monday morning." Then he took another bite of his warp nonchalantly.

"I'm not sure you can finish a 50-page research paper that fast."

After hearing my words, his jaws dropped in shock while I could see some of the food dropped from his mouth.

"That's disgusting!" I complained.

"What did you say?"

"That's disgusting," I repeated.

"No, the previous one."

"50-page research paper?" I guessed.

"50-page research paper ?! Is that crazy lecturer trying to kill us?" he grumbled.

"He already gave the assignment from the beginning of the semester," I explained.

"Ethan ..."

"Hm?" I replied soberly as I took another bite.

He looked at me with 'puppy's eyes' gaze.

"My saviour... Please save this humble peasant's grade."

A demon hunter asks to be saved by a demon ... The world has turned upside down.

"Just do what you can do. I'll come to your house tomorrow."

Larry quickly put down his food, grabbed my hand and looked at me deeply.

"What can I do without you, buddy ?" A happy smile spread across his face.

-Tak!

A tray placed loudly on our table startled us, we turned our head towards it in reflex. Olivia stood beside our table and glared at Larry.

"Can I join you?" Olivia said curtly.

Larry quickly took his hands away from me before Olivia broke his hands in half.

"Sure," I replied, inviting her to sit down.

Olivia took a seat beside me while her eyes remained fixed on Larry who was awkwardly biting his food.

"He's just too happy since I want to help him," I explained. Larry's attitude is a little dramatic, that's what makes other people often misunderstand him.

"He's right!" said Larry, raising his head to face her.

"Oh," she replied simply. "But I think it's unnecessary to hold hands like that." Her tone still sounded unpleasant.

"It's just a reflex because I'm too happy," he defended himself. His face turned sour.

"But you shouldn't act like that," said Olivia, giving Larry a 'Don't touch my Ethan' look.

"Why not? He doesn't mind that," Larry replied with a 'Are you kidding me? Since when Ethan is yours? ' look. Looks like he's already annoyed because Olivia is trying to get over me.

"Even he doesn't mind that, but I do," she didn't want to lose.

"Ethan belongs to everyone, you shouldn't monopolize him!" Larry replied.

As they argue, several other students who passed by and overheard our conversation began to whispering to each other while their eyes were still fixed on us. Even my back felt hot from the people's gaze who looked at me from behind. I can already figure out what they were talking about, 'Olivia and Larry are fighting over Ethan'.

"I don't think you need to fight over a trivial thing like this," I tried to calm them down. I don't understand why my quiet breakfast time has suddenly turned into an argument.

They both turned towards me at the same time.

"Trivial thing?!" they said with annoyed faces.

I was quite shocked by their reaction.

"It's about my pride you know!" Larry started babbling nonsense.

"Seriously? What does that have to do with it?" I frowned in confusion.

"Of course there is." Olivia turned her gaze to Larry.

"And I won't lose!"

"What do you mean?!" said Larry curtly.

"I challenge you to a duel!" Olivia said firmly.

"What ?!" I said as I turned my head towards Olivia in shock.

'Do they think we are still in medieval era so they have to settle things through a duel ?! Wait, this is even worse! Did they treat me like a medieval princess ?! Is this some kind of joke ?! '

Hearing the words 'duel', the other students stopped their steps and looked at us like a free circus show.

"Do you think I'm scared?" challenged Larry. I knew he couldn't possibly lose to an ordinary person like Olivia, so far he had only hidden his strength due to the demon hunter's association rules.

"Let---"

-Bang!

I hit the table with the palm of my hand and stood up from my seat, my annoyance clearly visible on my face. Their act has passed my limits, I don't even understand what's wrong with them. Everyone shocked, this was the first time I've lost my calm in public.

"I don't belong to anyone," I clarified.

"Did you hear that? I told you he belongs to everyone!" teased Larry. Meanwhile, Olivia looked down over her disappointment at my words.

"I don't belong to everyone either," I clarified once again. My eyes glared at Larry. My demonic instinct rejected those words because it was the same as lowering my pride as if everyone could have me easily.

Larry immediately pressed his lips.

"We'll talk again later," I said to Larry. I took my bag.

"Olivia, can we talk for a moment?"

Olivia hesitated and looked the other way, but I grabbed her hand and stared at her.

"Can we talk for a moment?" I repeated. I wasn't angry at her but I have to straighten out our relationship. I know this was because I didn't tell her my feelings, so she felt insecure because she could lose me at any time. I guess this must be related with her parents' divorcement. Even though I don't know about this clearly, but judging from Camila's state yesterday, this must be tough for Olivia.

"Fine," Olivia replied reluctantly as she got up from her chair.

"Do you love me?" I asked straight to the point as soon as we arrived at the west corner of the courtyard.

Olivia's face flushed red and she quickly turned her face from side to side in nervousness.

"I---"

I approached her slowly, my eyes gazed deep into hers.

"Can you accept me as I am?" I asked again.

While she retreated slowly in intimidation.

"Of course---"

"It's not about my finances or my status," I interrupted once again. Even though I can't say my true identity as a demon,but I don't want to deceive her about my relationship with other women. Making me only belong to her is impossible.

"Then what is it?" she asked. Her back touched the wall. Now she is unable to run away from me.

"As you heard earlier, I don't belong to anyone. That also applies in the future. " I stopped my steps right in front of her.

She paused in shock as she began to understand what I meant.

"You can't monopolize me," I clarified once again. I knew she and Camila need me, both of them wanted me and both of them wanted to tie me up because they were afraid of losing me. The problem is do they willing to share with each other? They were mother and daughter, sooner or later they would find out that Damian and Ethan were the same person.

She remained silent in hesitation.

I put one of my hands next to her head, brought my face closer and stopped right in front of her, my lips almost touching hers.

"If you don't want it, I'll go."

Our eyes met and looked at each other deeply, her eyes still filled with hesitation but I knew she wasn't willing to release me either. Soon, she turned her face away from me.

"I'll take that as a no." Although I am disappointed with her answer, I respect her decision.

As I wanted to pull my head away from her, her hands hugged and pulled my head closer to her. My lips crashed with hers while I could see her blushing face clearly. But only briefly, she released it in embarrassment and lowered her head, hiding her blushing face.

"I --- I won't monopolize you ... As long as you don't leave me ..." she said in a stammering voice.

"Are you serious?" I confirmed once again.

"I'm serious," she answered without hesitation.

After hearing her answer, I brought my lips closer as I wanted to kiss her. But she pressed her lips and closed her eyes nervously.

Seeing her reaction, I could conclude that she had never actually kissed before because all this time she had only given me light kisses. Somehow, it made me want to tease her.

I licked her lips, tilted my head to her ear and whispered.

"Even though you can't have me, but I want you to be mine." Those are the most selfish words I have ever said in my life.

She opened her eyes and mouth, but before she could say anything, my lips grabbed hers, my tongue slipped and swam wildly in her mouth. She was stunned in shock by my sudden movements, but she didn't push me away.

After a while, I pulled my face away, looked at her shocked face. A smile bloomed on my lips, seeing her innocent reaction. But after that a slap flew to me, I caught it before her hand landed on my face. I know it was just her nervous reaction since I didn't catch the slightest trace of anger on her face. Slowly I brought her hand to my lips and kissed it, my eyes still fixed on her with the alluring gaze.

"Do you still want to hit me?" I said in a soft voice.

"No ..." Her eyes also did not escape from mine and turned soft. She took her hand away from me and rubbed my cheek gently.

"I don't understand ... After what you said , but my feelings didn't change ..." Her hand went down, took mine and placed it on her chest. I could feel her heartbeat in the palm of my hand.

"I want to be with you ..." she whispered again.

"Olivia ..." I called out her name in a soft voice as my heart also skipped a beat.

My hands crawled behind her neck and pulled her closer. Our lips met each other once again, but different from before, she opened her lips to let my tongue in and explore her mouth while her hands hugged my waist. But, her tongue was not moving.

"Move your tongue," I demanded without releasing my kiss and her tongue started moving clumsily with me.

A few moments later, her hand moved slowly to my crotch and rubbed my cock. I flinched in shock with her boldness and let go of my kiss as I stared at her in confusion. Honestly, though I want to do it, but I treated Olivia with care since I knew she has trauma with men and I don't want to make it worse.

"You don't like it?" Her embarrassment was evident on her face.

"I'm just a little shocked." Even though I actually wanted to know why she suddenly did this, but I held back my question after seeing her expression.

After the words left my mouth, an announcement appeared before my eyes.

[Do you want to accept a daily quest?]

[Getting a partner.]

[Target: Olivia Creststream.]

[Reward: Title and EXP.]

[Yes] / [No]

'Yes.' I chose without hesitation. Since she said it then I will make her my partner.

Note: The daily quest has changed due to access and his status that has changed to a high incubus.
