Blue-Eyed Demon
Hey-Diddle-Diddle

Iruka has a blue-eyed demon. It's three years old, and it cries like a baby. He doesn't like it, hates the way it looks at him and laughs, with tears still in its eyes. He hates the way it follows him, but that's not anything that amazing. The demon follows anyone who doesn't kick it, tugging at their pantlegs and petting their hands. Yes, Iruka has a blue-eyed demon, and he hates it.

He hates it when it looks up at him with its blue eyes (-his mother had had blue eyes, beautiful and clear. His father used to say that's why he married her, for her pretty blue eyes-), looking almost human. He hates the way it smiles (-his father used to smile like that, wide grin and squinting eyes-) at him. More than anything, he hates that his parents got traded in for this demon. He wants his parents, not some sniveling little thing that laughs too loud and cries too hard.

"Leave me alone," he growls as threateningly as he can, but it just smiles up at him, face red and tear-stained, and pets his hand. "Leave me alone," he repeats, and it laughs, daring to grab his pantleg, holding on tight. He wants to kick it, or hit it, or push it away, but he never does.

After all, it's his blue-eyed demon.
