It didn't take long for you and anos to make your way back to the demon realm to have a meeting with the elders to strategize and equip for battle. Upon arriving at the conference room; you quickly realize that the majority of the demon lords and soldiers had sided with avos dilhevia instead for this war. Your suspicions were right as Melheis confirmed your guess that the demon lords were already gathering toward the border for war.

"so that means the demon subjugation army is probably already at the border waiting then" you say as you make your way to take a seat on the window edge. You tried to avoid making eye contact with everyone as you looked outside the window and watched the flowers moving by the wind. Anos could tell that you were dodging the attention that everyone was giving you as they hoped that you'd be able to think of a battle strategy since you were trained for battle and war. Anos didn't want to unlock that past trauma for you so he proceeded to redirect things back to him.

"This is the battle I left unfinished 2000 years ago. It is a battle that I will fight alone and no one should die because of me" anos says as he takes a step into the center of the room. His comment throws everyone off guard as ivis and ydol demand anos that they were created to serve him and that no one disrespects the king's name. You didn't want anos to do this alone, but you also knew that the fate of the battle would result in you losing your best friend. Your mind was in knots as you tried to straighten out your thoughts and think of a plan that can save everyone. You quickly snap out of your thoughts as you see Sasha barging into the room with misha.
"You better be taking us with you too"Sasha demand as she turns to misha and smiles. It was cute that they were now on good terms since you remembered how close militia and aberneyu were 2000 years ago. Seems like things really don't change even 2000 years later. Misa and the fan club were also there to show their support as well. It was nice seeing how many people supported anos and had his back;however, your smile quickly faded when you saw Ray at the door. You played it off as anos scanned the room at all his subordinates. You didn't want him to catch on so you tried to hide your emotions the best you could. As Everyone was showing their support for anos, you had realized that anos was looking at you as if he hoped that you'd be by his side during the war as well, which causes you to blush slightly.

"What... you think I'll just go with you to war? You'd have to be crazy to think I'd do that so easily..." you say as you huff and cross your arms in a playful manner. Anos was quick to return a snarky remark. "I would've thought that you'd be the first to volunteer as tribute. Considering you'll definitely be the one to miss me the most when I die..." anos says as he winks at you with his arrogant smile. To others, it sounds like a fun joke between you two, but you knew exactly what he was getting at, which causes you to blush. The fact that anos knows that no one can make you feel the way he made you feel down ~there~ definitely inflated his ego and he knew that you'd miss him a lot if he were to die. "No! shut up like I'd go to war for you. I'd go in order to protect my home. NOT for you" you say as you sulked in your corner as everyone started to laugh this ends up lightening the mood of the room as you and Anos looked at each other and smiled. you can see him mouthed the word 'thank you' slightly as he smiles at you and proceeds to tell the room to get some rest and they'd be leaving at daybreak. That night you couldn't sleep because you started to feel guilty as you realize the reality of tomorrow. So you decided to go to the roof to get some fresh air. Since you figured that you wouldn't be out too long you ended up not changing out of your pajamas. Hearing the sounds of the wind blowing through your hair made you appreciate how far you've come since Bodiam. You came here on a mission to kill the demon king but now you're trying your best to save him. You let out a loud sigh as you leaned on the railing on the roof. Little did you know that you weren't alone.

"shouldn't you be sleeping, my love." You knew immediately who that was before you even turned around. It was ray. Seems like he was having trouble sleeping as well " just wanted to step out and get some air. what about you. What's your excuse" you say as you turn around and cross your arms to hide your chest from him. You didn't expect to see anyone and you were getting a bit cold as it shows your perky nips through your top. Ray slowly makes his way next to you as he takes off his coat and covers you with it. " I was just thinking about things tomorrow and appreciating my last day" ray says as he looks on out into the distance. You can hear some hesitation and sadness in his voice as the air remains quiet between you two. You both knew each other's fate tomorrow, but we acted as if we didn't. You finally had enough of it and decided to say something. "Ray—" before you could even get another word in, ray immediately went in for a kiss, which caught you off guard. You completely freeze up as your lips were interlocked with rays. The kiss was gentle and warm as you stood there trying to process what was happening. Though it was a quick kiss, those seconds felt like minutes. As ray pulled away, you could think of any words to say. "Thank you Y/N. For everything." Ray says as he smiles at you. A confused look covered your face. " what do you mean? I didn't do anything" you say as you try to shake off the kiss. " I know that you love anos, but you still care about me whenever I'm not around. I know that you're trying to change my fate so that I don't have to die, but this is my future. I have to do what's right for peace in this nation. I don't want you to worry about me. " you tried to interject, but ray was quick to hit you with the line that ended it all. " I love you. Alway and forever. " ray says as he holds onto your cheek as he goes in for one last kiss before walking away. Leaving you in tears and emotional as you were filled with anger, sadness, frustration, everything. You weren't crying because you secretly loved him as a lover, but you were crying because you'd be losing your best friend. The one you'd crack fun and flirty jokes with. The one that will give you sassy remarks whenever you were feeling down or lazy. It pained you that this was going to be the last time you'd see ray and that's what pained you the most. Your tears fell down your fast as you watched Ray walk off with his hands waving to you from behind as he yelled "good night Y/N. we do have a long day tomorrow. Don't stay out too long or you're going to catch a cold. Your chest is showing it already..." he says as you hear him giggling at the distance. You sign as you hold rays jacket tighter over your shoulders. It smells like him. You think as you slowly made your way back down.

A/N: HELLO EVERYONE, how has everyone been? Sorry about being MIA, my mental health was not the best the last couple of months with everything going on with my life and stuff, but I'm back! How did we like this chapter. Are we simping for ray or nah? HAHA I figured since this would be the last ray fluff I'll put in the story, then might as well make it cringe. HAHA. Let me know what you think about the chapter in the comments and don't forget to like the chapter so I'll know how much you all want me to release the next chapter where the war starts. It'll be ANGST and LEMON for sure. >:3
