Did you know, that if you kill a contract demon, they kinda just- pop?
I didn't. And now, my clothes are ruined. They're currently covered in what I call 'ozzing black goop'. Along with a few bits of latex, which I can only imagine what was they're skin.
I need to go home. I want a bath.
I think my new buds won't appreciate the mess I'll bring with me, so I'll just wash up here.

"Tobias! I killed your boss!"
"WHAT!? HOW?! WHEN?"
"I split him open like an hour ago."
"Wʜᴀᴛ ᴡɪʟʟ ᴡᴇ ᴅᴏ ɴᴏᴡ! Wᴇ'ʀᴇ ɢᴏɴɴᴀ ʙᴇ ᴄᴀᴜɢʜᴛ ʙʏ ᴘᴏʟɪᴄᴇ! Aɴᴅ, ᴀɴᴅ , ᴀɴᴅ-"
"Chill. That dumbass couldn't stop a fly even if they tried. I'll do a waaaaaay better job protecting you guys anyway."
"Dᴏ ᴡᴇ.. ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴋɪʟʟ ғᴏʀ ʏᴏᴜ?"
"Uhhhh, no. Haha, I already get power from the forest."

"Simple. Just keep it nice and well kept. Ya know?"
"Lɪᴋᴇ, ʟᴀᴡɴ ᴡᴏʀᴋ?"
"Extreme lawn work. But, it'll be easy, cause there's a lot of you here. You'll all basically have your own factions of the forest to take care of. Unless one of you gets sick. Then one of you guys will have to take over either Jack's, or mine."
"Yᴏᴜ'ʟʟ ʙᴇ ᴡᴏʀᴋɪɴɢ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴜs?"
"I mean, yeah! There's a shit ton of forest. Oh, and can you spread this info around? I gotta go talk to Jack."
"Yᴇᴀʜ! Sᴜʀᴇ,,,, [Nᴀᴍᴇ]!"
Your POV
I leave Toby to go and run off to 'spread the news'. Honestly, we all knew this was going to happen.
Jack.... I smell something on him. Can't tell what it is, but something is off with him. Maybe, he's sad? Anxious? Lying? I haven't been near him long enough to figure out his emotions well enough.
Speaking of Jack- he's sitting very patiently on his bed, criss-cross applause.
"Hey Jack, what's up?"
"[Name]! I really need to talk to you!"
"Really? Me too! You go first."
"Um. Okay." Jack takes in a huge breath. "Alright. At first, I didn't know what I felt. But, I sure do now!"
Holy shit. He's going to try to mily rock my ass. I'm going to die. I don't have it in me to fight back against him. He's finally found out he doesn't like me as a person.
"I love you, [Name]."
"AAAAAAA! Jeez! DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT!"
"W-What?"
"I though I was going to get my shit rocked. Yes. I love you too. Jesus."
