Episode 2: Seduced And Fed

The clear difference between an angel and demon is that an angel has no need to delve to earthly pleasures nor attend to humanly needs, even as a human, maintenance of the body is optional; wounds inflicted by other mortals are cauterized by the holy flame. In the other hand, a demon enjoys spoiling themselves with earthly pleasures and flaunting their wealth, they eat and mess with humans all for the sake of pleasure.

The clock on Tord's wall chimed, he snapped out from his trance from staring at the ceiling. The bookshelf on his side was filled with books he already has read and has no intent in reading a second time. There was nothing to invest time on since his work really isn't suited for this environment. He needed a hobby, to at least spend his time on something while he's on Earth.

Tord left his room and went to the living room and turned on the television, there was a cooking show playing with some celebrity showing how to make buttered pasta. This grabbed Tord's interest, he grabbed a pen from his pocket and started writing down things on a piece of paper. Cooking has never been his forte, although he has been friends with Bartolomeo Scappi, his books never really spoke to him at the time. Tord walked back to his library and pulled out his own copy of "Opera di Bartolomeo Scappi, mastro dell'arte del cucinare, divisa in sei libri" (it was originally dedicated to Francesco di Reinoso but he managed to snag a copy for the library).

It was the crack of dawn and he was still reading through the book, his phone vibrated against his left pocket, he picked it up and saw a message from Edd.

'go to my place Tord, I have a surprise for you, I live in 17C just take a turn from your left'

Tord placed his phone in his pants pocket and went up the stairs quietly, making sure that he was silent enough to not wake up Tom. He opened the wardrobe in his room and took out a coat and enough money to be able to purchase some of the recurring ingredients from the book, alongside some utensils. Tord his money inside a safe and wrote a quick note for Tom.

He put on his shoes and started walking to Edd's house.

Tom woke up afterwards, it was quiet, there was no one inside the house but him. Tom squeezed his legs in excitement as he thought of the possibilities he could do to mess with Tord, there's a very strong aura radiating from him and consuming his life force would be beneficial. He rolled around in his bed and set a picture of his thighs to Matt.

While waiting, Tom decided to start organizing his closet; he rubbed Dante's stomach until it threw up several articles of clothing and shoes in front of Tom. Dante continued splattering jewelry into the carpet, Tom picked up the accessories and wiped them with a cloth, he kissed Dante's forehead and let him sleep on the bed again. Tom fished out a violet lingerie from the messy pile and put it on, he covered it with a dark blue robe and continued arranging his closet.

Dante suddenly stood up and walked out the door, his claws scratching against the wooden floor as he excitedly ran to the front door. Tom followed after him, trying his best not to slip as he practically glided against it. There was knock on the door, and Tom slicked his hair back and arranged his posture before opening the door.

"nice vintage house, care to invite me in?"

"sure"

Matt walked in and started looking around, Tom followed behind him and hugged him from behind. Matt picked up a note and read it, he crumpled it afterwards and kept it in his pocket.

"your roommate left to do some errands, he really writes in unnecessary calligraphy, anyways I kind of saw him on the way here"

"speaking of that, how'd you find this place anyway?"

"I have my ways on knowing things"

Tom beamed at Matt and squeezed him tightly,

"You voyeuristic little shit, c'mere you"
