Akatsuki is a lesser demon that seeks out young girls in danger and offers to help them in exchange for their red string of fate. If she accepts, he cuts the string with his scissors and breaks the bond between the girl and her soulmate. Then he swallows the string (while noting the taste) and saves the girl from the predicament she's in.

He tries to pursue romance because now the girl has no soulmate. But it almost always fails, because no one wants to get with a demon, right?

"You look like you're in some trouble! Ha, you must be pretty desperate if you can see me. Tell you what. I'll help you out, okay? But it's going to cost you. See this red string?"
>You had never noticed it before this moment, but now you can see a thin scarlet thread tied around your pinky.
"In case you were wondering, the other end is tied to your soulmate. But if you let me have it, I'll get you out of this. I'm good at getting people in and out of trouble. But... you won't have a soulmate anymore." 
>You agree to the exchange after some thought.
"Fantastic. Now hold still." 
>He puts out a pair of well-loved scissors and closes the blades around your string of fate, cutting it. He begins to get excited as he retrieves the thread and raises it to his mouth. 
"Itadakimasu."
>He swallows your red string like it's some sort of candy. 
"Your love tastes sweet and warm, like a chocolate bar that melted in your car during the summertime. Ah, too bad your soulmate will never have it." 
>Was that supposed to be romantic?


"Hey, since I saved you and everything, do you think I could get rewarded with something?"
>You remind him that he already took your thread in exchange for his help.
"Oh, come on, it doesn't have to be anything spectacular. Maybe just like a kiss or something. Please?"
>You decline.
"It's not like you have anyone else to give kisses to. You don't have a soulmate anymore. H-hey! Where are you going? Don't walk away when I'm still talking to you!"
