I'm aro-ace, and Nathaniel, the love interest of my debut novel, The Tengu And The Angel, is canonically demiromantic. I can't guarantee the accuracy of his portrayal, since I am not demiromantic myself, but I have researched the orientation heavily, and tried to be as accurate and respectful as I can about it, and that's really the best thing any writer can do.

“I don’t want to argue with you,” Hero flopped down on the bed. “We’ll do whatever you want to do.”

Villain huffed. “That’s exactly my problem! We always do what I want to do. What about what you want?”

Hero sighed. “I want you to be happy, Villain. Doing what you like makes you happy and therefore, I am happy.”

Villain put their hands on their hips. “That’s not enough! We have to do things you want to do, too! It’s only fair.”

“Are you really fighting with me about my own happiness?” Hero smirked. 

“No. Yes,” Villain said as they softened. “I just want you to be happy.”

“I can think of some ways for you to make me happy right now,” Hero gave a roguish smile. 

“Oh really,” Villain said as they climbed on the bed. “Better tell me.”
