Daemon is a name for a sweet, caring guy that will do a n y t h i n g to win a girl over. No matter where you end up, if you move or transfer schools, he will somehow always stick around for you. Even if it means staying up all night just to hear your voice. Has a super dirty mind, and is always making nasty jokes... but that’s who he is, and it’s kinda grown on you at this point.
