Red Like Ruby (Mostly RubyxDyrroth)

How To Unsummon A Demon Prince 3

"No, she's here shopping while I get my coffee. Me and the guys are going on a mission." Granger answered. 

"Sucks to be you because this little princess right here is the cutest cinnamon roll in the whole Land of Dawn. Why don't you court her already?" Gusion said slinging an arm around Ruby's shoulder. 

"I don't think Ruby needs a man in her life right now, I think she's rocking it just perfectly on her own. Plus I like Lesley." Wow, that's basically a rejection right there even before Ruby really got on the road, how very discouraging. And he also rubbed it in her face that he likes someone else. Stupid Gusion for opening his damn mouth in the first place. 

"I don't think you'd fare well in that water right now, she's still on the recovering track so maybe take it a little easy. I know what I did was such a bitch but I really loved Guinevere even though it ended up hurting Les. But she'll bounce back and when she does you should be there to catch her." Gusion adviced looking straightly at Granger. Ruby didn't miss the intense stare that the marksman was directing towards the assassin as if he wanted to strangle him without remorse. 

"Hey, Gus. What are you doing here? I thought you and Guin are going on a date today." Ruby said trying to break the tension. 

"Well, Lesley called me to talk a bit, get some closure and stuff, but you know I think she's just making excuse to see me." Gusion informed pointing his thumbed over at the fuchsia ia haired. "She's a really strong woman so I think that she'll get over it quickly. Maybe not as quick as you Rubs, cuz Alucard is shit and easy to forget while you know how cool and good looking I am but I should be going now if I don't want my queen strangling me with her corset so bye now."

"Bye." Ruby smiled and waved her hand. 

"Don't tell Guin and you also look pretty." Gusion said before heading away which Ruby replied with a mouth zip. 

After Gusion left Ruby didn't miss the sad look on Lesley's face as she watched him leave. She soon noticed tears pouring out of her eyes. The witch couldn't think of an insult to throw at her because she herself knew what it was like to see the man that you loved be happy with someone else. How he seemed happier with her more that he ever did with you and it makes you feel inadequate and pathetic. The feeling is crushing and it makes you feel hollow, empty like a pretty shell abandoned by the beach, being repeatedly hit by the harsh waves that slowly break you down and bury you under the rough sand deeper and deeper and deeper unless you pull yourself together and be just like the waves trying to destroy you, relentless and resilient regardless of how much the jagged rocks are trying to shatter you. 

Ruby saw Granger about to go to the fuchsia haired to comfort her but Ruby instantly grabbed his arm to stop him. 

"She's upset. She needs someone." he said trying to shake her away. 

"And that someone is not you. She needs someone who's been to the same situation. I'll handle this trust me." Ruby have a soft yet determined look like that of a mother's and Granger didn't argue any further before backing off back to his friends. Ruby went over to Lesley and handed her a handkerchief. Lesley's sobbing briefly stopped as she looked up at her. 

"Thanks." she mumbled before accepting the fabric. 

"The pain will be duller if you only think about the terrible things about him and do yourself a favor and get yourself a nice tub of ice cream and cry about it until you no longer have anymore tears to shed." Ruby adviced before walking away, leaving the whole thing behind and returning back to where Dyrroth was. 

"Took you long enough. I was beginning to consider flinging your panties at everyone to pass the time but I guess you're lacies are safe for now." Dyrroth joked before accepting the the ice cream and stuffing it into his mouth. 

Ruby laughed before turning deadly serious. "You know that if you really did that I would strangle you with them, right?" Dyrroth chuckled before replying. 

"Well at least that's the number two on my list on how to die happy. My number one is asphyxiation because you sat on my face. I want to feel your soft butt with my face as I draw my last breath against your vag-" Ruby shoved a spoonful of her strawberry ice cream into his mouth to shut him up. 

"Can we not talk about my lady parts or my panties? Please."

"Fine, I guess. I can always look at them back at home when you're asleep."

"Do you really do that?" 

"No. Not yet at least."

"Please don't." 

"Hey why are they hanging those wires with triangles in them? Is that some sort of mage craft to repel demons or corrupt politicians?" the demon asked pointing to the men hanging banderitas across the houses in zigzag formation. 

"No. Those are decorations for the lantern festival dedicated to the prince of Moniyan who disappeared 400 years ago. The people kept the tradition even though the empire has fallen long ago." Ruby explained taking a bite of her ice cream. 

"They must really love their prince too keep his memory alive for so long. Hey let me have more of yours. I didn't know that strawberries are delicious." 

"Fine, but I want to taste yours too. Cookies n cream is one of my favorite flavors."

"Sure. Dyrroth scoped a huge chunk of ice cream and waited for Ruby to do the same. 

"Here." Ruby feed Dyrroth her spoon filled with her pink dessert while the demon did the same for her. 

"You're strawberry have a unique edge. Is that cheese I taste?" Dyrroth commented with intrigued. 

"Well it's a strawberry cream cheese after all." 

"Ohh, that's nice too. Did you like my CNC or is it quite bland? I think it's a little bland."

"Look at those two young couple being so sweet. I still remember back then when we used to eat ice cream together you would "accidentally" drop some on my shirt so that you can lick my breasts, you old perv. That young lad seems to be taking really good care of his wife, look at her she's a glowing goddess." they heard an old lady say from a balcony a few meters to their left. 

"How did you know that they're married?" asked her husband who obviously have a difficult time seeing properly. 

"Because of that shining ring on her finger as bright as the Northern Star. He even got her a nice golden wedding ring unlike you cheaps cake only giving me silver." Ruby looked at her finger and saw her pretty diamond studded purple butterfly ring. The old lady must have mistaken it for a wedding ring but it was a family heirloom. 

"Do you think she's pregnant? I have that certain attractive glow when I was pregnant."

"If she is, at least she didn't get instantly fat like you. Once I squirted our son into your womb you inflated like a hippopotamus in less than two months." teased the old man laughing proudly at his own joke. The two joined in on the laughter although muffling their sounds a little to avoid being caught eavesdropping. 

"I take really good care of my wife alright." Dyrroth wiped the ice cream on the side of Ruby's lips with his thumb and licked it making the witch blush a deep shade of red. 

"God you're so annoying." Ruby breathed out turning away from him and eating her ice cream fast to vent out her frustration on the dessert. 

"But you still like me because I'm your partner in crime." Dyrroth retorted smiling at her. 

A smile bloomed on the witch's lips hidden from the demon's sight. 

"My partner, huh? That would be nice for a change."
