Flowers That Never Leaves

This is my first story; please be gentle. No flames other than criticisms but be polite about it. I will take it to consideration and see if there will be improvements by the next chapter or story.

Chapter 1

Hanae knew what he was getting into when he works off his debt to Abeno-san.

Well technically, Hanae kept telling himself that in order to not run away every time a youkai keeps trying to kill him or eat him or something that involves so much pain. He thought everything went well so far until that day of the "Rescue Fuzzy from Unjust Arrest Incident!"

Hanae knew there will be some youkai that hates humans and would rather see them dead; it was just his luck that one of them happens to be the Executive, a scary-ass bird (crow or raven?) youkai who is also one of the three most powerful rulers that helps govern the Youkai World.

It also didn't help with the fact the Legislator is an alcohol-loving, lazy, womanizer, but he did let Hanae keep his job even if he questioned the Legislator's work ethics. Justice seems kind, level-headed, and fair if you ignore the fact he could turn into a suppose vegetarian beast.

Hanae knew he was getting off topic, but can you blame the poor boy?

It was nice to know he wasn't allow to be in the Youkai World because of the dangerous consequences, but Hanae didn't want to abandon it.

He would have to reject the world he became fond of. He would have to reject the world his youkai friends live in. He would have to reject the Mononokean and Fuzzy. He would have to reject the world Abeno-san loves and cares for.

He would have to reject everything that is Abeno-san; abandoning Abeno-san who already doesn't care much for humans already, but he saved Hanae many times before so it got to mean something.

Abandoning Abeno-san. NO WAY IN HELL!

He would rather let the Executive kill him than leave Abeno-san alone.

Hanae knew that his feelings for his employer goes beyond the professional and friendship lines. When he realized what he felt for his boss, Hanae didn't know what to do other going through the stages of denial (which became impossible if you see your suppose crush everyday) then acceptance (which was literally painful if you face-planted soon after that). He knew he would have to tell Abeno-san about them someday, but it seems that day is much closer now.

So, how does one tells a man who happens to be his boss/friend he has the hots for him?

Seriously, Hanae's luck is just as bad as a black cat.
