Coexistence Keitaro

Pov Keitaro

Takashi and I went out into the street, while he was going to show me the neighborhood, as well as important places such as shops, malls, and others. Along the way, I could see that he was very nervous, but he didn't know the reason. Was I so intimidating? Did he feel uncomfortable with my presence? Maybe yes, after all when we met I wasn't very nice, unable to contain myself I decided to ask.

“Hey…” as soon as I spoke he seemed to jump and seemed surprised.

“Oh, y-yes? Tell me” he had blush, maybe it was an embarrassment?

"You..." I couldn't finish because someone interrupted me.

"Ikki, good to see you" was a boy i didn't know. Seeing his appearance, he seemed to be a byakko, since these in the human form usually have peculiar hair, white with black streaks and he was quite tall.

"Oh hi Tadao, how's everything?" he put on a smile that could be said was radiant.

"Well well, I imagine the same for you"

“Haha yes, how is your father? I hope they didn't fight again” he frowned and crossed his arms as if he was going to give his friend a big scolding.

“Oh, that…. Look, the old man and I haven't gotten along, not since my mother's” the stranger looked away while he made a face.

"Aish, you two are a hopeless case" he sighed while shaking his head disappointed "if you fight again, don't be mad at me for going to beat you both up for fools" she looked at him threateningly making him understand that he was serious.

"Hahahaha, I'll take that into account and I'll tell him to fight quietly so you don't listen" he laughed a little more before noticing my presence "Oh Ikki I didn't realize you were walking with your boyfriend, I'm sorry"

Boyfriend? I looked at the kitsune to know what he was saying.

"E-eh, you're wrong Tadao, he's not my boyfriend"

“Then who is he? I don't think I've seen him before” then he opened his eyes, and he seemed to have realized something “Is he a human? Ikki, don't tell me you kidnapped one?"

"That? No, I didn't do such a thing."

"Isn't it supposed to be illegal to bring anyone against his will?"

"Of course"

"Then why-" Was he interrupted by a punch delivered by the blond?

“Could you shut up and listen to me?” he shot her a withering look.

“Ok ok, just calm down okay? That could affect the baby” the blonde looked at him with confusion.

"Baby? what baby?"

"Aren't you pregnant?"

……

The three of us were silent until Ikki looked as if a vein would burst.

"Are you or do you?" he seemed to want to hit him again, but the byakko dodged him this time.

"It could be possible, you never know" he gave a serious look, the blond narrowed his eyes, and the white-haired finally laughed, causing him to roll his eyes "But being serious, who is he?"

"He is my partner"

"So that?"

“Something from the agency”

"Ah, then I'm not interested, anyway, my name is Tadao Yukimura" with a smile he extended his hand to me, and I squeezed it.

"I'm Keitaro Inoue, it's my pleasure" he could be a demon, but manners came first.

“Hey Ikki, now that I think about it, isn't he your type? Are you going to do naughty things or something like that?” he looked at him with a mischievous smile, causing the boy to blush and glare at him.

"Of course not, don't say those crazy things"

"Hahaha yes of course" then he looked at his cell phone, apparently wanting to know the time and being surprised "sorry I have to go, I'll text you later Ikki, Keitaro it was a pleasure meeting you" waving his hand as a farewell he runs off to who knows where.

"That runs away, the next time you won't be saved" I heard the kitsune muttering with annoyance. I turned around, attracting his attention again.

"He seems like someone you appreciate" Ikki looked me in the eye before sighing.

"He is one of the best friends he has since he has been with me for a while, although sometimes I want to shave his hair as revenge, we still go out for a while, so we know each other quite well"

"I see…. Wait, get out?"

"Yes, we were a couple for a while, but due to personal problems we broke up and stayed as friends"

"......I don't know if you should be talking about it with someone you barely know."

“Ah… if you're right, you know what? Forget it, OK?" something uncomfortable looked away, and after a not at all comfortable silence, he spoke "Okay, let's go to a place to eat something, of course, if you don't mind" he looked at me wanting to know my answer.

"Go ahead" I could not refuse, after all, he had invited me.

We walked for a few minutes and arrived at a cafeteria that perfectly resembled any in human land, I'm sure if he had arrived here by mistake he would have thought that he was still in the human city. We walked in, sat down, and a waitress came over to take our order.

"Oh Ikki, how's everything?"

"Hello Mary, everything is going well, I hope it is the same for you"

"Hehe, yes of course, then will you order the usual?"

"Sure" he turned to me "Inoue, have you seen what you want?" I nodded and went to the girl telling her my request.

"Okay, I'll bring them to you" she walks away going to the reception.

Meanwhile, Ikki and I kept quiet, one more uncomfortable than the other, did my presence bother him? Maybe. I haven't exactly been nice to him, always skeptical of his attitude, but I've realized in the short time we've met that he's not fake or malicious at all. When I saw him in that shopping center he seemed full of confidence and smiling, but now in front of me he seemed to hold back, nervous for unknown reasons and that bothers me, maybe I was unfair in judging him without knowing him, decided I started the conversation.

"Hey Takashi, I want to apologize to you" he looked at me confused.

“Apologise? You did not do anything wrong"

"In fact, yes, I have judged you if I met you and it is not fair to you, you have not done anything to me for which I apologize"

"Oh... I... I don't know what to say, I didn't even think about it or realize it"

"You've been very nervous and even uncomfortable, I don't want us to start things off badly"

“Oh… ah…” quickly his face turned completely red, confusing me “Ah… that… is that I felt that I wasn't very nice to you, so I wanted to be something less… how to say… too turned on, do you understand me? Don't bother you or anything like that."

"I don't see it as necessary, if we want to get along as colleagues we shouldn't stop being ourselves"

"Yes, you're right" it seemed that inside her he sighed with relief "in that case let's start again" I nodded with a small smile "my name is Ikki Takashi, my pleasure" he extended his hand wanting me to squeeze it.

"I'm Keitaro Inoue, the pleasure is mine" I squeezed his hand, this surely signifying the beginning of a good friendship.
