Asmodeus's pov:
"I love you too, Asmodeus."
He looked at me with tears in his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly twitching. He was smiling.
I couldn't help but smile too. He loved me back! He actually loves me back!
I laid down next to him, moving my hands to his chest, wrapping them around and pulling him closer. I couldn't help it. All I wanted to do was to be with him, cuddle him, kiss him.
When I changed my position, wrapping my arms around his back to try and reach him, he shot up.
"I'm sorry! I didn't know that you would feel so uncomfortable. I just thought that maybe I could calm you down with a hug." I screeched.
The atmosphere had turned a little emotional. I was so happy, but I won't ever forgive myself for making him cry.
I really didn't think that he would shoot up like that however.
I won't ever try to do any filthy things to him. I would never! I won't ever become someone like my mother. We won't do this, not on our first night together. Plus I should ask him for consent first. After that, we will see when he wants to!
I didn't mean it in that way at all!
"Ah! Ehm- sorry! I just.. I don't feel comfortable with anyone touching my back." He said, laying back down again.
So he wasn't talking about..? Oh. That's embarrassing.
"Iruma?" I asked, having a question on my mind.
"Yes, Azz?" He answered.
"Are we a couple now..?"
"I-" He answered, pausing. "I guess we are..?"
I looked at him, he seemed strangely bothered, as if he was holding something from me.
"Asmodeus?" He than asked, shifting his position so he was looking in my eyes.
"Yes, master?"
"Can we keep our relationship a secret, just for a while?" He than asked, a careful smile on his face.
Well yeah, of course we can.. if he really wants to.
"Yeah.. we can if you would like, but could I ask, why?" I then replied, trying to keep the tone of my voice from leaking disappointment.
"Well, you see, I don't know if my family is okay with it. And I know Clara will be very upset. Plus, how am I going to tell them that I like guys? I don't even know if they are okay with it." He looked away in shame, re-directing his gaze on his pillows.
Huh? Ever since demon kind has been created, demons have been fine with men dating other men. You follow your desires, it's natural. Does he not know that?
Ofcourse he wouldn't. He has been extremely distant from the outside world ever since he was born. Especially with him being the grandson of Sullivan. He didn't even know what a familiar was after all. And since these kinds of things are such basic and common knowledge, class doesn't learn us about it.
"Iruma, it's very normal for demons to like someone of the same gender. Why would you think that its wrong?"
"W-well My parents would always point to gay couples and call them disgusting.." He muttered.
I wasn't able to make out what he said, so I asked him to repeat what he told me, but when I did he told me that it was nothing.
It isn't just nothing, is it?
All I know is that it had something to do with his parents.
I've never heard him talk about them.
"Don't worry about it. No one will judge you for liking guys, and if they do, I'll roast them untill they turn to ashes." I then jokingly said, poking him.
He laughed, and I couldn't help but smile.
After a while of laying down next to each other, Iruma seemed to be much more comfortable.
"Asmodeus?" He then asked out of thin air.
"Mhm?"
"Do you wanna go to sleep, or do you want to play games? I'm getting tired." He yawned, stretching out his arms and sitting up.
"I think its best we sleep for today, master Iruma." I replied.
"Alright!" He said, standing up from the bed. He still had red circles around his eyes, proof that I made him cry.
I was now standing aswell. We went to the bathroom, where there were two bags with clothing and other supplements. One was labeled "Asmodeus" and one was labeled "Valac."
Did David fetch me my clothes?
I then picked up my bag. Me and Iruma promised each other to change in separate rooms, me in the bedroom and him in the bathroom.
He had always changed somewhere else. No matter if it was gym class or when we would go to the beach. I think it has something to do with his wings. He has always kept them hidden, even during battle. I have never seen them before either. He is probably wing shy, however, lets not jump to conclusions either way.
After I had changed clothes, I knocked on the bathroom door. "Come in!" Shouted a muffled voice from the other side.
I opened the door, taking a look inside. Iruma was standing in front of the mirror, brushing his teeth. He looked at me, a sweet smile planted on his face. He then concentrated back on his job, brushing his teeth.
I went back to the bedroom, looking trough my bag.
"Ah, there it is."
I then took my toothbrush back to the bathroom, brushing them aswell. Once master Iruma was done, he waited for me to finish aswell.
Even though Iruma doesn't have fangs, he still has to take care of the rest of his teeth.
I wonder why Iruma doesn't have any. Its quite rare not to have fangs.
Maybe he just had to grind them down. Its not uncommon for demons to have large fangs. Its possible that his fangs hurt him while eating, or talking.
I shook my head, and spit out my toothpaste. I held my brush under the water, cleaning it off. I then sat it on the side of the sink.
Iruma was still looking at me, smiling. I smiled back.
You are so adorable, I love you so much.
We went back into the bedroom, Iruma took my hand, dragging me there. He was giggling.
"Whats so funny, master Iruma?" I asked, curious to what would have made him so happy.
"For the hundredth time, just call me Iruma. And its nothing really, I'm just so happy when I'm with you."
He then led me to the beds, jumping into his own. However, when I went to mine, I got stopped by somebody grabbing my arm.
"Iruma?"
"I- can we maybe- Ehm.." I waited for him to finish. He cleared his throat, and took a deep breath. "Could we maybe sleep together?"
I looked at him, he was looking away, embarrassed. His cheeks were red and he was stuttering.
"Ofcourse, master Iruma."
I then walked over to the light, flicking the switch off.
I walked back, slowly getting into the bed next to him, making sure I didn't accidentally lay on top of him. I could still see parts of his face, even though it was dark. I knew he was staring at me.
I hurdled closer to him, seeking his warmth in the bed, he did the same. He then slowly put his arm around my hip, as if he were asking for permission. I let him. He then got closer to me, putting his head against my chest.
My heart was beating fast, loudly thumping against my chest. It felt like it could jump out any second. I just hoped Iruma wouldn't notice. I swallowed. My head felt foggy. I was so nervous.
If he were to see me right now, I would be as red as hellfire.
His embrace felt warm and comfortable. Yet it felt fragile at the same time.
"Iruma?" I asked.
"Yeah?"
"Can I put my hands around your back?"
I didn't hear a reply for a while. After a minute or so, he nodded.
I slowly put my arms around his back, careful not to feel around his wings too much.
I didn't feel any wings at all actually.
He must have tucked them further down. Hes so timid and shy, its adorable.
He was moving his legs, a lot. Did he feel uncomfortable?
I moved my legs too, trying to give him some space. I slightly felt his leg brush against mine. It felt nice.
After a bit more moving, his legs stopped.
I closed my eyes. I think he already had his closed.
I let myself drift off. His warmth on my skin, hearing his soft breathing.
It felt endless. It felt great, but after a while, I still wasn't asleep. I slowly moved my arms and legs. I didn't feel uncomfortable, so why couldn't I sleep?
I closed my eyes again, and laid there, in silence. Iruma wasn't moving anymore, and his breathing had become rhythmic. Did he fall asleep?
I suddenly heard a loud sound, it was coming from the windows. I shot up, looking at the windows and I shut my eyes again, pretending to be asleep, yet I was more vigilante than ever.
Who was this, and what businesses do they have here?
They walked up to us. I could hear them breathe from above me.
Was this some sort of assassin?
They then began talking.
"I put a few traps out to make sure that there was no security to stop me from tasting you, my sweet, sweet Iruma~ but it seems that your butler isn't the only problem. Ahh~ and it was my only day off too!"
He sounded strangely happy, it was making me nauseous. What the hell was he trying to do to my master?
He continued. "My brother won't ever let me come here..
I just want to take a bite out of you..
I can already imagine you squirm underneath me, begging me to stop. I can already see the desperate expression on your face, filled with pain and despair.~
I even brought some tranquilizer with me~
Aahh~ I was so exited.~
But well, I guess I can't tonight.. I'm quite sure that butler of yours will be back soon.
So goodnight my sweet, sweet Iruma.~ I'll see you soon, very, very soon.~"
I was listening to every move this person made, I listened, hearing them walk away, them closing the window.
What the actual fuck? Is that who I think it is? Was that Kiriwo? Why the hell is he here?
What the fuck does he want from Iruma?
If I wasn't here, what would he have done to him? I heard him say something about biting. Was he going to torture him?
Or was he trying to..
Thats not okay. Thats seriously not fucking okay. You don't fucking do that.
Is this the reason Iruma has been so upset lately, is he the reason why he has been so scared?
Did he do anything to him? He better not have.
If he dares to even lay a single finger on Iruma I will fuck him up.
Seriously what the fuck did he do to Iruma?
Wait.
Ever since a few weeks ago he has been constantly hiding away. He never let me go near his back, and even now he doesn't, it's gotten even worse.
Did Kiriwo do something to his wings?
No, even him wouldn't stoop that low, break the most valuable thing we demons have.
I know its not alright of me to check him, but could I atleast check if his wings are okay?
I'll just check the leather for any signs of damage. I can feel that trough the shirt, right? I'll just make sure he's safe.
A demons wings are the most important part of a demons Identity after all. If you don't have any, you are nearly worthless.
I slowly grabbed Iruma closer, careful not to wake him up. My arms slowly traced the back of his shirt, trying to find his wings.
I traced once.
Huh? did I miss them?
I traced twice.
Where did he tuck them?
I traced trice, this time tracing his back from his wing roots.
Wait, where are his roots?
How tired am I? Am I hallucinating? Dreaming?
I must be.
There's no way.
Forgive me for I will do something unacceptable, but I have to make sure, master Iruma.
My hands slowly made their way up his shirt, my fingers slowly tracing up his back.
I felt around his skin, it felt damaged in some places, it felt ragged, as if the skin had turned to leather, as if he had old wound tracing down his back.
I went further up, my heart beating loudly in my chest, my mind filled with worry.
...
Nothing.
There's nothing there.
The only thing that is here is a wound, a large wound.
It almost felt flat, like it has been healing for over a few years.
My breath got cought in my chest. I felt like I was choking.
I felt again.
Nothing.
My eyes stared in the darkness, shocked. I looked at Iruma. He was sleeping soundly, as if nothing was the matter.
Much to my suprise, I heard a slight sob escape from my mouth. And another one. I slowly pulled him closer, putting my legs between his.
I can't believe it. No. No this isn't happening. It can't be.
Iruma, what happened to you? Who took your wings away from you? Who took your wings?
Who took your wings, Iruma?
Who took them?
And what happened to you, Iruma?
I slowly retreated my hands from his back, laying them near his neck. Iruma was moving too. Had I accidentally woken him up?
Shit.
He moved his head, putting it closer to my chest.
"Mhm.."
"Whats wrong..?" He then asked, yawning.
"Can't sleep.. ?"
"Yeah." I said, my voice coming out hoarse.
He then wrapped his arms around me, burrowing his head against me.
"Feel sleepy.."
I then closed my eyes, trying to forget about the things I just found out. I did exactly what he told me to do. And eventually drifted off to sleep too.
Opera's pov:
I closed the door behind me. Its horrible what happened to Ms. Valac's family. I wished I could have done more than that I did.
Nonetheless, I have to get back. I already let master Sullivan know about me talking Valac home, but I have this uneasy feeling.
I have the feeling that something went wrong, or that the boys did something to make this night a mess for me.
Fox example cook something in the kitchen or knock over the television.
I began walking my trip back home, feeling a slight breeze against my skin. It felt quite pleasant.
The moon was already out, shining brightly. It felt piecefull, yet it didn't ease my anxiety.
Something must be wrong.
I swiftly made my way back home. I had my eyes and ears open.
The longer I walked and the closer I got, the worse the feeling would get. It made me feel uneasy.
Maybe Sullivan set something on fire again.
I made my way down the path I usually took. I was getting closer to the mansion.
I walked to the gate, but stopped when a knife suddenly flew my way.
I jumped out the way just barely, the knife making its way to hit the iron bars. I then opened the gate, running away from the attacker behind me, looking around and spotting a dark, cloaked figure.
I ran behind them, but then stopped when I saw another figure leave Iruma's room.
Shit.
I then ran up to the window, checking if Iruma was alright. Instead of seeing Iruma in pain or gone, I saw him cuddled up with Asmodeus wrapped tightly around Iruma.
No matter how curious I was though, it was interrupted by footsteps, leaving and jumping over the gates.
I ran after the footsteps, picking up the dagger that had been thrown at me, running to the cloaked figure and tackling them to the ground once I got close enough.
I held the dagger to their throat.
"If you dare move I'll slit your throat right here, right now." I spat out.
Disgusted, I pulled off their cloak. Trying to take a look at their face.
But when I did, the figure stabbed me in the leg with some liquid and a needle, running away.
I chased after them, running as far as I could. Eventually though, my legs were too tired to run anymore.
"Fuck, did that guy poison me?"
I hissed once my vision got blurry.
I need to get back.
I slowly walked back to the mansion, the gates were wide open. I leaned against it for support.
What kind of tranquilizer did they use?
Normally I would be fine with almost any tranquilizers, they wouldn't even slow me down. So why is this one making me so tired?
I closed the gate behind me, locking it as I slowly made my way to the door.
My vision was blurry, and my legs were about to give out.
Keys.
I searched my pockets for the keys to the door.
Here they are.
I opened the door, only to lock it behind me again. I hissed as I almost tumbled to the ground.
I need to sit down.
The couch.
I looked at it, it was far away but I could make it.
I then slowly walked over, my legs finally giving out underneath me as I plummeted to the ground. I was almost there.
I then pushed myself up, my arms and legs trembling. Eventually, I made my way to the couch. I sat down, my head spinning out of control.
I let my head fall to the couch, my vision getting darker.
And it wasn't much longer untill I passed out.
