It was a dangerously cute smile that seemed to stab into Mutsuki’s heart The expression could capture the heart of both boys and girls Mutsuki saw it on a daily basis but his heart still skipped a beat and he looked away I’m glad
That you aren’t afraid of me anymore You used to be so on edge when I would get close right But now you act normal even when we’re alone
Mutsuki realized the boy was right They had been classmates for two weeks now but this was the first time they had been alone together It felt like Lucia had made sure only to stick around him when Ange could see Was that not to scare him
Mutsuki raised his head and looked the boy directly in the eye
He had been thinking about this for a month now
His first impression of Lucia had been too frightening Lucia was clearly the one who had dragged Mutsuki into his current abnormal life and he had heard a lot about how frightening the demons were from Micha and Ange But he had held a certain thought in his heart ever since seeing the boy’s smile for the first time
I have a question
Was it possible this boy was the farthest of anyone from being his enemy
Demonscan’t get along with angels can they
He tried asking and Lucia must have been able to tell he was not joking
The demon boy continued smiling and did not hesitate to answer
The relationship between angels and demons isn’t simply divided between good and evil as humans like to interpret it but our very existences are eternally at odds There’s no way we can
get along
Really There isn’t even a slight possibility
Nope
There was no hesitation at all in his voice
This was unfortunate but Mutsuki had honestly expected it After all Machina had told him pretty much the same thing
Thenwhat about you
I’m asking your personal opinion not your view as a demon Can’t you get along with the angelswith Ange
He placed his hopes on that question and took a step forward
Ibekusa Machina had said she would not oppose the angels on a personal level
That was good enough for now so he hoped he could get a similar promise here
Lucia blinked his eyes from the other boy’s overwhelmingly earnest plea but he seemed to have caught on He swept back the bangs that were hanging down from the running shower water
Not a chance I hate angels
He coldly turned the other way so Mutsuki frowned
They’re violent and don’t have a lick of tact They call themselves bodyguards but that’s just an excuse to drive away whoever they don’t like Isn’t that Ange angel nothing but trouble for you too Mutsuki Th-that isn’t-
Ange was nearly family to Mutsuki and he just about jumped in to say she had her good side too but the demon sidestepped him with a mischievous smile
He grabbed Mutsuki’s blue striped tie and pulled to bring the boy’s face down toward him Some
shower droplets bounced from Lucia’s face and onto Mutsuki’s cheeks
The demon boy who had captured the hearts of boys and girls throughout the school looked up at him with truly bewitching eyes
If you tell me to I’ll stop
He whispered from lips so lovely that Mutsuki wanted to abandon reason and suck at them
I’ll do anything you tell me Anything
———
The demon’s sweet whispering voice seemed to freeze his heart He felt completely glued to the spot as if he had been paralyzed
No It was him himself that could not take his eyes off of Lucia
The demon boy brought a finger to the boy’s unguarded lips
Give me any command and I’ll obey It’s all up to you
He brought his face close while tracing his finger around the boy’s lips
Ever since I was bound by Avalon I have been your eternal slave
His lips were two millimeters away but he stopped and narrowed his eyes in a smile
Mutsuki trembled as he felt the same sweet breath of another boy he had felt when his first kiss had been stolen
He could not help but recall how soft that fruit was
That boy’s aura transformed any disgust toward homosexuality into mere guilt He had a strange
charm similar to Micha’s It was forceful and yet it made Mutsuki do whatever he was told
Indeed Mutsuki felt no displeasure from facing the boy so close
Then
The eyes peering into his from point-blank range had endlessly deep green irises that seemed to suck him in
Get along with everyone
Okay
Lucia readily nodded and Mutsuki recalled what the boy had said that morning demons generally only act out of their own self-interest
Oh b-butnot like this
However he lowered his head as far as his tie would allow
This isn’t about you being a slave or me ordering you We’re um all the same I just want you
to um uh
Lucia’s quizzical tilt of the head was incredibly cute Mutsuki had started speaking before organizing his thoughts so it came out awkwardly
b-be everyone’s friend
But he still got it out without averting his gaze
Lucia widened his eyes and looked a little confused He lowered his head as if trying to figure out what to do
Once he looked up again his bewitching smile had been replaced by a childish one
Eh heh heh
The boy tugged on Mutsuki’s tie They had already been close so he was easily pulled forward and dragged into the shower space while still wearing his uniform Lucia wrapped his hands around Mutsuki’s back and placed his small forehead on Mutsuki’s collarbone The demon boy rubbed his cheek against his friend’s chest like a baby and gently stretched his back to bring his lips to the side of Mutsuki’s face
I love that about you
Eh U-um
Hey
The whisper tickled Mutsuki’s earlobe but he was not allowed to escape
If we’re all the same
Closing the accordion curtain’s magnetic latch and wrapping up the rope used as a handle created a simple private area within
Mutsuki just accepted that his clothes were going to get wet and sat on the shower floor Lucia sat on his lap such that Mutsuki embraced the demon boy’s slender body from behind
Um are we really doing this
Of Course Or what Are you not going to treat me the same as that angel
When the demon put it like that he had no choice but to go along with it
If we’re the same then do to me what you did to her
Or will you go even further and do
what you did with Ibekusa Machina
Mutsuki had nothing to say when the boy used his own words against him
That was a reference to the day he had first had sex with Machina two weeks before He had also ended up in a heavy petting session with Ange He had stripped her nearly naked and caressed her breasts and butt until she pissed herself He had no idea how Lucia knew about that but the demon was telling him to do the same here
He could not say no He decided this was better than treating him the same as with Machina so he began caressing his body which was even smaller than Ange’s
NnHa ha
The hands on the boy’s belly slowly began to move and Lucia narrowed his eyes ticklishly
Your handsare so warm And so wonderfully gentle
Lucia acted like a spoiled little brother wanting attention from his big brother Or like a teenage girl receiving an embrace from her crush His innocent expression seemed to melt
(Wow)
Mutsuki felt his heart pounding at this expression he would never see from mature Machina or dignified Ange
He could hardly believe this was a boy In fact it was so cute the distinction between sexes stopped mattering to him Even a normal person like Mutsuki felt a strange arousal from caressing this body (This body is so delicate It’s a little bonybut also squishy)
He was easily captured by a dangerously enticing homosexual attraction and his hands moved from the boy’s belly to his chest armpits and thighs
His smooth skin was still wet from the shower so it was amusingly slippery
His height was similar to Ange’s and they were similarly slender but the feel of his skin was quite different Ange had the springy skin of a Caucasian while Lucia had the more elastic skin found in the black and Asian races His body was slender but not quite enough to see his bones and Mutsuki found himself gathering strength in his hands at how raw it felt
