Chapter 3: Bloodlust
When Feliciano came to, he saw that he was in his bedroom and not on the roof. How did he get here? And what happened? Maybe he really was dreaming, but all of it had felt so real. There was only one way to find out. Slowly, he got out of bed and tiptoed over to the door, pressing his ear against the white wood. He listened for the voices of the demons. The television was on, but he could have left it on as well. All was silent outside the door! It really was just a dream! But his hopes were shattered when the sound of Alfred's obnoxiously loud laughter filled the hall. He felt the tears welling up in his eyes knowing it was hopeless. Demons were still living with him and the world was going to be destroyed with everything in it. Slumping back over to the bed he crashed face first into the mattress.
There really was nothing he could do to prevent this apocalypse from happening. Whether he liked it or not, the end was near. The end of the world sat in his living room right now. And who was that voice on the rooftop? Feliciano remembered blacking out when he saw those massive eyes appear in the sky, and then everything else after that is a blur. Whatever it was it had frightened him to faint. Of course, he was also very easy to scare. The demons said earlier that nothing bad would happen to him so long as he continued to take care of them. If there was no means of escape or a chance to save the world, then maybe he should just give in to the notion that his world would soon be dark. He didn't want to be enslaved either. He could only imagine humans walking around in rags with chains around their necks as they were forced to do hard labor and be eaten by demons. That too had frightened him. But he would be safe, they said, from becoming a slave. He felt selfish for taking the demons up on the offer to not be a slave but it would be foolish not too. He wasn't that courageous or strong; he hated pain, he hated hard work, and he hated being frightened all the time.
Now that he had himself taken care of it didn't help his brother at all. The only thing he could hope for would be that Romano can come with him wherever he was to go. Would he go with Ludwig or one of the others? If so, would they let him take Romano? Would they be able to keep up with his medical needs? Would it be free? There were so many questions rattling in his head that he whined miserably.
'Romano, I hope Antonio is with you like Ludwig said. That way, no matter what happens, I know you'll be safe.'
He always was one to quickly surrender without a fight. What was that old saying? If you can't beat them, join them?
After some brooding, Feliciano decided to leave his room and see what the demons were up to. Holding his breath, he stepped into the living room. Only Alfred, Ivan, and Gilbert were present. Alfred was laughing at 'America's Funniest Home Videos' while Ivan and Gilbert were making out on the recliner. Feliciano looked at the two kissing, noticing how Gilbert's tail twirled and twisted around Ivan's leg. If Gilbert didn't have pants on Feliciano would assume they were having sex. Strangely enough, the sight of them making out made his lower regions feel a little funny. He was never one to watch or read pornography because it had always made him uncomfortable. Looking at and chasing girls with his brother was a simple pastime but they never went crazy over it. Regular sex scenes in love movies were acceptable, and those he would prefer. He had to turn his eyes away from the two before something 'embarrassing' happened.
"H-hey." He said with a trembling voice.
"Hey you!" Alfred grinned at him. "This show is so funny! That guy got hit in the groin with a baseball bat! Come watch it with me!"
"Um…well…" Embarrassed and blushing, Feliciano pointed to Gilbert and Ivan.
"What? Those two? Gilbert only has five more minutes before it's my turn." Gilbert gave him the finger.
Feliciano took a seat beside Alfred. He stared at the demon, seeing that he had taken off his coat to reveal a simple white sleeveless undershirt. Feliciano could see a bullet hole, which was bleeding yet not dripping. Alfred must have caught him staring.
"Want to touch it?"
Feliciano gasped. "N-NO! I don't want to!"
"It's okay! It's not like it's going to bite or anything!" He laughed.
"But…but don't they hurt?"
"Not anymore. I'm used to the pain. It just feels natural to me. So, how are you feeling? Better?"
"I guess…just what was that thing on the roof? And where's Ludwig?"
Alfred raised a wheat colored brow at him. "Don't you worry about the thing on the roof. Hey, real quick, are you a virgin?" Feliciano turned red. "So a virgin with girls. How about guys? You a virgin with guys?" The Italian turned beet red. Alfred grinned. "That's cute! You're so small and innocent!" He pulled the human in to a hug.
"He's a loser if he hasn't fucked or been fucked yet!" Gilbert said with a grin before returning to Ivan's lips.
"Ludwig stepped out a little while ago with Sadiq. They'll be back soon." He let Feliciano go.
"Where did they go?"
Alfred poked the Italian's nose. "You don't have to worry about that. But don't be afraid! It's nothing bad that they're doing." He squeezed Feli's cheeks. "Don't want to spoil your innocence!"
Feliciano still didn't understand, so he just smiled and nodded if only to get away from Alfred's grip.
"They're probably out fucking somewhere." Gilbert crudely answered while turning around in Ivan's lap.
Ivan saw the uncomfortable look on Feliciano's face. "It's nothing to worry about, Feli." He smiled sweetly. "The five of us have been together for centuries, stuck underground in a whole other world where we are not allowed to venture out of our section of the realm. Since we were once human and not born demons we don't fit in with the rest of the Underworld."
"Plus, demons have twice the lust and sex appeal of a human!" Gilbert added with a lick of his lips. "We can fuck around without a care!"
"Don't listen to him." Ivan wagged his finger at Feliciano. "We still have our boundaries."
"Yeah, and you get bored living for centuries and try out different things just because you can." Alfred had to add in his own two cents. "There isn't any romance behind it, just mutual lust and scratching an itch, you know?"
Maybe it was the sex appeal Gilbert spoke of making him feel this way. He was embarrassed to admit to himself that he felt…horny. He thought only vampires had that power, but since they weren't real then it must just be demons. That would explain the feeling he got when he first saw Gilbert and Ivan together. The image of Ludwig appeared in his mind, and then the demon was on his bed…and then demon was naked. Feliciano felt his skin crawl and he heard himself 'eep'. He quickly grabbed the pillow to hide his face.
"I wonder if I was ever innocent like that?" Gilbert pondered.
"You better not get any ideas." Ivan chuckled. "I like you this way."
"Okay, my turn!" Alfred jumped off the couch to shove the albino demon off of Ivan. Gilbert gave him a glare but quietly walked away to join Feliciano on the couch.
The door to the apartment opened and closed loudly, making Feliciano jump an inch off the couch. All four of them turned to see Ludwig and Sadiq enter, in their demon forms, and covered in blood. Feliciano just stared wide-eyed at them, wondering what had happened. Gilbert jumped to his feet and ran to his brother's side.
"What the hell happened to you guys? Those are demon marks!" Gilbert looked at the torn skin on Ludwig's forearm. "Are you hurt anywhere else, brother?"
"Hm…I'm alright. We ran in to some trouble a couple of miles from here." Ludwig flexed his wings. "A group of demons."
"We don't know which legion they belonged to." Sadiq added. "We made quick work of them, though."
"Most of this blood is from the demons we slaughtered." Ludwig glanced down at his torn arm. "This was me not paying attention."
Gilbert growled. "If they're only a few miles away there could be more! You stay here and rest, baby brother."
Ludwig growled. "Don't call me 'baby'."
Gilbert ignored him and turned to Alfred. "Let's do some adventuring!"
Alfred whined, wrapping his arms around Ivan's neck. "But it's my turn with Ivan and the final episode rerun of 'The Bachelorette' is on soon!"
Ivan pat the other's thigh. "Go with Gilbert and do your job. I'll stay and keep an eye on things here. No one sniffs out demons like you."
"Well, that is true." Alfred slipped off Ivan's lap and moved to join Gilbert. "You guys sure you're okay?"
"Yeah, we're good." Sadiq answered. "Be careful out there."
"Back in a flash!" Gilbert flashed them the 'peace out' symbol before disappearing in to a large black flame with Alfred.
Ivan got up and went over to the others, gazing at Ludwig's wound. "It hasn't healed yet."
Ludwig held it away from him. Ivan was able to heal wounds caused by demons but the act involved his tongue, and a lot of licking. It always made Ludwig uncomfortable; he wasn't his brother who enjoyed getting a tongue bath from the violent demon. "I'll be fine." He turned to Feliciano, who was trembling on the couch. "You. What do you have for wounds?" Sadiq tried to say something but Ludwig slapped the back of his thigh with his tail.
'Ow! You dick, what was that for?'
'Don't tell him anything! Let me handle this. Go clean yourself up.' "Feliciano, where are your medicines for this?" He motioned to his wound.
Feliciano was hesitant to answer, or even to help out for that matter. But he remembered how he wanted to avoid becoming a human slave so he would have to prove his worth to Ludwig somehow. He gulped, feeling like he needed to pee. "There's a first aid kit in the hallway closet."
"I'll be in the shower." Sadiq took off his bloody coat and made it disappear. "Which one is hot, again?"
"The left one." Feliciano answered. "But let's get that wrapped first." He said to Ludwig and turned to the kitchen, grabbing a dishtowel from under the sink. 'Just try to be brave. Be brave. Ludwig won't hurt you if you just do as he asks.'
Feliciano retrieved the first aid kit and brought Ludwig to his room, motioning for him to sit on the bed. Once he got a full look at Ludwig's arm he had to hold back from vomiting. Ludwig had a large abrasion with most of the skin hanging off like a piece of tissue paper. The dishtowel was soaking up most of the blood and for a second he wondered just how much blood Ludwig brought in with him. So much for choosing white carpets in the main entry hall. But this wound was way beyond a simple first aid kit.
"Ludwig, you need to go to a hospital for that! I can't fix it."
"You can."
"No, I can't! It needs real medical attention!" He whined. "We have to get you to the hospital so a doctor can look at you." Feliciano noticed a strange look in Ludwig's demon blue eyes and saw a smile lift at the left corner of his mouth. What was Ludwig thinking about? It made him uncomfortable. "L-Ludwig?"
"What do you think we meant when we mentioned your 'life force'?"
Swallowing hard, he trembled and shook his head. "I…I don't know. M-My…spirit?"
"That's part of it, but there is one more thing that you can give us that no other human can." He let his upper and bottom fangs show. "You can heal us with your blood."
"Veh? EH?" He yelped. "M-My blood? No! I thought you said there were no such things as vampires!"
Ludwig ran his black demon tongue over his top fangs. "I never said demons didn't drink blood." He shot his clawed hand out to grab Feliciano's wrist making the smaller man cry out. Feliciano struggled to pull away but the human was just too puny and weak. "This is your only worth to us, human." He pushed the sleeve up to reveal a delicate, slightly tanned wrist.
"Let me go! Please! Don't bite me! Don't eat me!" He began his long mantra of wailing, something that usually drove his brother and Antonio to leave the room.
"NOISY HUMAN!"
Ludwig felt his demon bloodlust hit its peak once he smelt the flow of innocent human blood. The first bite would make the pathetic human stop whining and crying. The crying was the worst. Pulling the wrist to his mouth he gave a hard bite, taking Feliciano's full wrist in to his jaws as a dog would. The human screamed and tried to pull away but Ludwig only gripped him harder. The blood was exquisite, the best he had ever tasted. While he had drank human virgin blood in the past none had ever tasted this good. It was sweeter tasting than the usual metallic sting on the tongue, plus, the taste of fear always added a bit of 'kick' to it. As much as he wanted to suck this human dry, Ludwig knew he had to keep this young man alive for the sake of all of them. He forced himself to pull away, panting heavily as he savored every last bit of the pure blood on his tongue. The human, on the other hand, was on the floor bawling while holding his bleeding wrist. So pathetic. The human was so useless it was almost hurt to look at him. Best he starts to calm the blubbering baby.
"Feliciano, get up. I can fix your wound and make it stop bleeding."
Feliciano looked up at him with tearful amber eyes and then let out a shrill scream. "YOUR EYES!"
"What about them?"
"They're red!" Feliciano quickly moved away from him in fear.
Ludwig wasn't sure what the other was speaking of. Thinking for moment, he remembered that when he drank human blood his eyes welled up with his own blood. "It's nothing to be afraid of. It will pass soon. Come, let me heal that wound before you bleed to death."
Feliciano shivered. "W-What are you going to do?" What choice did he have?
"Lick it. I can only heal wounds that I inflict. Now come here before I am forced to drag you without touching you."
"Huh? Without touching me- OH!" Feliciano found himself being pulled along floor by an invisible force straight up to Ludwig.
Before he could say or do anything, Ludwig had his wrist once again. This time, that large black tongue darted out to casually lick at the bite wounds. Feliciano shivered at the touch, but not in fear or disgust; rather in subtle pleasure. Ludwig's tongue strokes were gentle, and for a muscle so black and thick it was extremely soft. To his utter amazement, the bite wounds stopped hurting and the holes closed up as if they were never there. He didn't feel a thing! How could a creature so frightening and dangerous have such a tender side to it? Still, the demon had horns, fangs, bat wings and a tail. Not to mention the tongue currently licking him and those thick claws.
"This is what you must do for us whenever we are wounded." Ludwig told him firmly. "Just your presence around us is enough to keep us strong, but for wounds such as the one I just had, we'd need your blood to help us heal and regain our strength in this world." Ludwig knew Ivan could do it as well but he knew the others, just like himself, would prefer to drink of Feli's blood.
"I…I have to do it for all of you?" He imagined what Gilbert and Ivan would be like, which nearly had him pissing in his pants. "Isn't there…another way?"
"Perhaps. But your life force is the best we have…what are you staring at?"
Feliciano was just staring at him. He gazed at those large black horns and the blood-red eyes. "S-sorry…don't be mad at me?"
"Why would I be mad for you staring at me? I know I look like a monster to you, and I just did something monstrous too. In fact," He stood up. "You should rest for awhile. If you overexert yourself too much after being drank from you could pass out."
Why did Ludwig suddenly care? 'Oh, that's right…I'm important to them.' Feliciano looked down at the floor. "O-okay…" Sleep did sound pretty good right now, plus it would get him away from the demons for a while.
"Now rest."
Feliciano waited until Ludwig was out of the room before taking off his pants and switching to sweats. Settling under the covers, he took a few moments to let his body warm up the sheets. Satisfied with the temperature, he rolled over onto his belly and looked at the wrist that Ludwig had bitten. Feliciano ran his finger along the spot, remembering the pain mixed with a tiny bit of pleasure. The bite felt like the time he had to get that hepatitis B shot; but unlike the shot the pain went away the moment Ludwig licked him.
For a long while Feliciano laid in bed, staring at his wrist and thinking about the demons, Ludwig in particular. What was it about the blonde demon that made him so attractive? Both Alfred and Sadiq were very sweet as demons. Ivan was a little on the violent and 'don't want to meet him in a dark alley' side, while Gilbert was the 'come at me, bro' type. The thought of them also drinking his blood made his stomach turn. Ivan's demon form had rows of sharp teeth like that of a shark, which would mean his bite would be twice as strong and painful. Gilbert's bite would be like Ludwig's, he would imagine. He'd seen Alfred gobble down those burgers, so the happy demon would most likely suck him dry until he was a dried out prune. Sadiq would be the gentlest of the five, or so he thought. Too bad there wasn't a blood pump for demons like there was a breast pump for women. That way he could just bottle his blood and hand it to the demons whenever they needed it. Yet it was Ludwig's image that he kept coming back to, and there was a quivering in his wrist- as if it were aching to be bitten again. How could someone so frightening excite him this much? He felt so ashamed of himself for feeling this way.
'Ludwig…just what type of person are you?'
The other demons looked to Ludwig for guidance and answers. Ludwig may not think he was their leader, but Feliciano could tell that he was. From what he has seen, Ludwig is strong and brave, very stern, and relentless. And scary. He admired Ludwig when he wasn't being terrified of him. Feliciano wondered if it wasn't that 'demon lust' element Gilbert and the others had spoken of. The five of them were very open about sex and seemed to do it with anyone when the right moment struck like a pack of rutting wolves. Did they have demon orgies too? He couldn't see Ludwig joining in with the others, he's too mainstream for that kind of sex. Feliciano felt his face flush hotly at the word 'sex'. He'd never had sex before; he'd never even kissed a girl as often as he had chased them. When he would hear his brother and Antonio doing 'it' across the hall he would hide under his pillows to block out the sounds. He was always too embarrassed to ask them to keep it down.
Would the demons try to have sex with him? Or rape him? If they were 'lusty' as Gilbert had said then what's to stop them from coming on to him? That's where he would want Ludwig to come in. If he had to lay with ANY of the demons he would want it to be Ludwig. But what would sex with a demon be like? It couldn't be gentle or sweet. It would probably hurt. Yet figuring that, Feliciano still felt himself blush at the thought of Ludwig doing 'that' to him. Whatever effect the blonde demon had on him it was working to ease his nerves. Only slightly, though.
Feliciano knew that he would have to get used to these demons being around him if he were going to escape human slavery.
Ludwig joined the other two in the living room. Sadiq was gulping down spoonful after spoonful of cheesecake while Ivan was counting the teeth on his amputation saw.
He looked to Sadiq. "Put a shirt on before Feliciano sees that gaping hole. He'll probably faint again."
"Let him get used to it." Sadiq answered between spoonfuls. "He's going to be with us for a long time."
"Hm." Ludwig looked around the room noticing that it was a bit untidy. He should clean it up. The appliances would take some time to figure out, but Ludwig wasn't stupid. He could run that 'vacuum' thing. So heading towards the utility closet he had to past Ivan, who suddenly began following him. "What do you want?" He turned to glare at the Russian demon. Ivan just stared at him, tilting his head to the sides as he drew his face closer to the blonde. "Ivan, what are you doing?"
Ivan started sniffing at Ludwig's mouth. "You drank from him, didn't you?"
"Only to heal my wound." He pushed Ivan's face away. "What have I told you about getting too close to me?"
"Your brother doesn't mind my tongue on him."
"Then he's a better person than I." Ludwig hissed when Ivan sniffed at his mouth again, this time letting his two-prong tongue join in the search for any speckles of leftover blood. "Ivan, I'm warning you. Back away. NOW!"
Ivan did so. "Sorry. But tell me was it yummy? Are you going to tell me or do I have to find out for myself?"
Ludwig narrowed his blue eyes. "You only drink from him if you are wounded. You're the only one of us who doesn't need to drink his blood when injured. So stay away from him. You already have my brother and Alfred, that's more than enough."
Ivan wagged his demon tail. "They are my precious little demon dolls. I love them both." He grinned, showing his shark teeth. "You may have had Alfred once but you won't have him again."
"And you're more than welcomed to him. I couldn't spend an eternity with that loud laugh of his. I'd sooner rip his throat out and eat it."
"Ah, but all the happiness in the underworld is brought on by Alfred's laugh."
Ludwig's brow twitched. Alfred did have the power to put smiles on everyone's faces. He was one of the few demons that could bring light to the dark world with presence alone. Not only that, but he was very popular among demon kind, half breed and real alike. Ludwig himself was no match for Alfred's youthful, cheerful charms. One night had him paying for it for all eternity. Alfred liked to mooch off the other Dukes, and him especially. Ludwig always ended up giving in and helping the young demon with whatever he needed: supplies, money, and so on. It was like having a mistress without being married. At least now Alfred was Ivan's problem and not his. That was a huge relief.
"It's annoying. You're welcomed to him, and to Gilbert. But they won't accept a three-way marriage or relationship, so you'd best make up your mind soon. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must test out this 'vacuum'."
Going to the narrow closet, Ludwig found the vacuum called 'Hoover'. He took it out, rolling it on its back wheels to examine it in full. He could read the button that said 'on' and 'off'. Simple enough. He pushed the switch up but nothing happened. Ludwig scratched his head as he thought. There was a tail wrapped up behind it with the end having two prongs. He studied it carefully before his eyes caught something on the wall. A pair of circles with two slits in them that seemed to match the prongs. Curious, Ludwig shoved the prongs into the slit and the vacuum screamed to life. He jumped and latched himself onto the ceiling on all fours, frightened, angry, and frustrated.
In the living room, Ivan and Sadiq ran away at the loud sound. Ivan ran to hide under the table while Sadiq took the cheesecake in to the hallway coat closet.
Ludwig jumped back down to the floor and stared at the vacuum for a moment. Feliciano had mentioned something about pushing it along the floor and it picks up dirt. So taking the handle he tried to push the vacuum but it wouldn't move. It shouldn't be upright like this. He thought to himself, scanning the machine for any signs or directions. There was a picture of a foot pushing down a handle of some kind. Ludwig found it and did as the picture said, amazed when the vacuum released.
"Oh, that works."
And so began his obsessive cleaning. He vacuumed everywhere first. After the carpets were cleaned he went to the kitchen, reading the instructions on anything and everything. He cleaned the entire area from top to bottom, taking a special liking to the fresh scent of Mr. Clean with Febreeze. Ludwig knew he should be out in the city looking for other demons, but he just could not stop cleaning and organizing. The Swifter Dusters amazed him as they really did trap in dust like the box said. The other two, having come out from their hiding places, just lazily watched him from their spots on the couch. They knew how clean Ludwig kept his castle back in the Underworld. Ludwig then made his way to the bathroom, checking around for cleaner. There were two cleaners, one for the toilet and one for the rest of the bathroom.
"Hmm…" he examined both spray bottles. "One says with…'ble-ach?' What's ble-ach?" He unscrewed the lid to smell it and his eyes crossed. "Blah!" He opened the lid to smell the other labeled 'ammonia'. He coughed. "Ugh! That's horrible!" He smelled the bleach again, and then the ammonia. He began to feel a little light headed. "Maybe if I mix them together it won't smell so bad."
"NO!"
Ludwig almost dropped the bottle at Feliciano's sudden screech. "YOU?" He hollered.
"Veh! You can't mix ammonia with bleach! You'll kill us all! It gives off toxic fumes that are bad for us!"
Ludwig screwed the lids back on the bottles. "You don't have to yell. What are you doing in here anyway? You should be resting."
"I heard a lot of noise throughout the house."
"I was cleaning. Your residence was a mess." Now that he had tasted Feliciano's blood he could smell the human more clearly. He purred a little in the back of his throat as he remembered the rich sweetness of that precious liquid, and Feliciano's body was flowing with it. His wings trembled a bit, but he quickly folded them flat to his back.
Feliciano gulped, not liking the look in Ludwig's eyes so he took a step back. "Um…I was thinking…I…um…I think I'm going…to…to…to open the bakery tomorrow!" He finished quickly.
Ludwig raised a brow. "Bakery? You mean that store beneath us?"
"Yes. I have bills to pay and the store has been closed for so long."
"I'd rather not have strangers wandering around here. I want you to keep the store closed."
"Veh? But…but I need to make money or I can't afford to live here!" He whined. "I have to keep the store open!"
Ludwig found himself smirking. "You still know so little about us. Soon you will not have to worry about such things as human money. You will be living among the demon aristocracy, unlike the rest of the humans. You do not have to fear money."
Feliciano bit his lip. "But…but if I don't pay my bills…the companies will shut off my lights…my water…throw me out of the building-"
"No one will do that to you. This is our home at the moment as well. We demons can easily work this out with your 'companies'."
Feliciano was going to protest, but then recalled Gilbert saying 'demons don't pay' and remembered Alfred walking away with bags of McDonalds for free. The thought of no longer having to worry about money excited him. How could anyone argue with that? He smiled happily at Ludwig and took the demon's clawed hand in his own. "Can you make it so my brother always has the best of care?"
Ludwig frowned deeply, giving a massive shudder as the human touched his hand. Feliciano was smiling at him in the way an idiot would, yet in that smile there was a feeling of joy and peace. For a moment, Ludwig felt happy. Just like Alfred's laugh and friendly face, Feliciano's smile warmed him all over. He quickly pulled his hand away.
"I'll send Sadiq to manage everything with your brother. Right now we are waiting for orders from the Dark One. I hope Gilbert and Alfred will be back soon with information. While I don't mind taking a short break from work, we have been idle longer than I would have liked."
"But you just got into a fight with other demons not too long ago."
Ludwig shrugged. "Yearling demons. Barely an issue for one of my strength and status. That wound was me not paying attention, and it won't happen again." He gave a snort. "I am aching for a good battle." Ludwig glanced at Feliciano, who was staring at him as if he wanted to ask something. "What is on your mind, human?"
Feliciano folded his hands in front of him and lowered his head. He couldn't bear to look at Ludwig as he asked a question that was on his mind. "W-When all of you take over this world…where will I be? Who will I go with?"
"Go with? Oh, you mean which demon house you will be in?"
"Yes."
"Whichever house you like. You have four houses to choose from. I would suggest going with Alfred. He is young and playful, much like you, and the both of you would get along well. If not him then Sadiq. That demon can talk to anyone and is overly friendly."
Feliciano gulped and blushed as he asked his next question. "W-what about your house? Can I come and live at your demon house?"
Ludwig frowned. "My demon house is shared with my elder brother."
"But if Gilbert goes with Ivan…"
The blonde hissed softly. "Human, you will not want to live in my demon house. It is no place for you. While my brother is more carefree he still upholds my strict rules. We are very structured at my house, while you are a lazy slug with no ability to keep things clean and tidy." He saw the sadness sweep over Feliciano's face and in those crying amber eyes he felt his heart flutter. 'Damn it all!' "It will be your choice. If you chose to live with me and my brother then so be it."
Feliciano nodded. "Thank you, Ludwig."
"Hm. What happened to your previous attitude of being frightened and saddened over the destruction of your world? Have you come to accept its fate?"
"Mmhm." He swallowed hard. "There's nothing I can do to stop it and…and I'm not one to fight back. I'm Italian, and I surrender quickly." He told Ludwig with a small smile. "I'm not very brave and I cry a lot. I don't have any magic powers like you do so I can't stop the demons. I have no choice but to just surrender and give in, right?"
Ludwig stared at him for a moment. "Yes. That is all you can do. We high ranking demons will not harm you, so you'd best learn to not fear us."
"Mm. But you all look so scary in your demon forms."
"It takes too much of our power and strength to maintain human forms for a length of time. While we are home like this, it is better to remain in our demon forms and save strength. Perhaps you should go and look at Ivan and Sadiq. See what makes them demons."
Feliciano trembled. "But…I'm scared."
Ludwig bared his fangs. "You have to stop being scared of us!" He raised his voice and the human cowered. "You are so hopeless." He rubbed the bridge of his nose, having to force himself to not look at those fearful amber eyes. "Why don't you look at me first?"
"W-what do you mean?"
"Touch my wings, hands, and horns. Do whatever you must to ease your fear of my physical looks. Come." He tugged Feliciano out of the bathroom and went to the bedroom, shutting the door behind them. He removed his shirt first before taking a seat at the foot of the bed. "Come here."
Feliciano was afraid to. His limbs trembled while he stared at the large demon sitting on his bed. Those large black bat wings were spread wide along the width of the bed while the lizard like tail hung over the side. This was the first time he was seeing Ludwig without a shirt on. The demon was well ripped with each muscle perfectly defined and toned. Feliciano could count each one individually. Ludwig could be one of those male models on those men's workout magazines. He was always attracted to muscular men because they made him feel safe, and Ludwig was big enough for him to hide behind. But now that he was looking at Ludwig like this it gave him the courage to approach the bed. Ludwig didn't move.
The first things he touched were those curved ram horns. They felt like actual animal horns, rough and rippled. He placed a hand on both horns to stroke the length of each one. Ludwig didn't seem to be annoyed so Feliciano moved on, reaching behind to poke at the skin of the wings. He heard Ludwig mumble something as the wing was brought closer to him. Feliciano pet the top and the flaps of skin beneath the bone. They weren't paper thin as he thought but rather thick and bumpy. The feel of them was rough. As he moved his hands closer to the center of Ludwig's back where the wings met, he could feel the body heat radiating off the demon. Ludwig said he is always burning from the inside, and when Feliciano saw the wound from earlier, he noticed that the muscle beneath was black and not pink. Charred muscle. Burnt muscle.
'Because he was burned to death.' Feliciano said sadly, suddenly feeling remorse for the suffering of this demon. The fear subsided, and he placed his small hand over Ludwig's heart, feeling the organ beating beneath his palm. So his heart was beating; Ludwig wasn't dead like he had previously thought. The demon had a beating heart. Feliciano felt himself smiling as the heart started to beat faster, and that was when the demon's skin grew hot to the touch. Gasping, he pulled his hand away before it could get burned.
"What is it?" Ludwig asked.
"You…your body almost burned me."
Ludwig was unsure of how to answer this. The fire in his body grew heated whenever he was excited, aroused, or consumed with bloodlust. He bit his lip, trying to think of the easiest way to say this. "I'm not…used to others touching me. When I get angry, sad, or excited my body burns hotter. It will not burn you, though. It will just feel really hot."
'Even his dick is hot!' Alfred's words echoed in his head, making Feliciano turn bright red and pull away. "I'm done now."
Ludwig raised a brow. "That's it? So…am I scary now?" Feliciano shook his head, still blushing. "Why do you blush?"
It was a stupid question; Ludwig knew the answer already but he felt inclined to ask anyway, curious of Feliciano's answer. Despite his cool composure and strict code of conduct, Ludwig could fuck like any other healthy demon if the opportunity was presented to him. He could smell Feliciano's arousal but sensed the fear and confusion that came with it. The scent of that virgin life blood was slowly becoming unbearable. Ludwig felt his own arousal grow as the rest of his body ached to feast upon the human while taking his pleasure. But he couldn't; not with this human. He wouldn't be able to take advantage of Feliciano with those terrified expressions and constant weeping from the young man. It would be like defiling an angel. A human angel.
"We're done here." Ludwig said quickly. "Alfred and Gilbert should be back soon so why don't you start dinner for us? They will be hungry."
Feliciano, still blushing, bit his lip and nodded. He felt ashamed, and dirty. In all his life he had never REALLY had a crush before. There was only that one time in middle school when he was just discovering his sexuality and was attracted to another boy in cooking class. But he was ashamed and embarrassed to have feelings for another boy when it was 'wrong'. He was bullied enough for being a lazy crybaby who was always picked last for the sports teams. Yet he hid it all very well by constantly flirting with girls. He liked girls too. And then when he found his brother was gay it helped him to open up as well and become more comfortable in his sexuality. They had both been very lucky to have Antonio with them who was their true moral support. Now that all these demons were in the house his body was starting to have feelings, especially towards Ludwig. But the part that scared him the most was that he thinks Ludwig knows of his attraction. He rubbed his wrist where Ludwig had previously bitten, remembering the pleasurable pain that came with it.
'I need to get cooking! Yes! Cooking! Cooking will help me to forget! Gotta cook! Cook, cook, cook!' He hurried to the kitchen to begin.
In the next city over…
Gilbert ground the heel of his black boot in to the shattered skull of a red demon, crushing it further. He cursed the corpse for getting bits of brain on his expensive (but free) leather. They had run in to another group of yearling demons, pawns really. The true demon generals and captains have yet to unleash their armies. When those demons were let loose then they would have a decent fight on their hands.
Gilbert's eye caught a legless demon crawling along the ground. He cocked his gun, aimed, and shot it. "These demons are no more than children. The Underworld should be ashamed of itself." He fixed his sunglasses. "Alfred?"
Alfred was eating the flesh of a yearling demon, sucking up the liver when he turned at the sound of his name. "Hm?" His cheeks were full of raw liver.
"Ugh. Can't you eat like a civilized demon?" He walked over to the younger duke. "Does it taste good?"
Alfred, his mouth smeared with blood, finished chewing and swallowed. "Delicious!" He reached inside and took out the heart next, biting out a large chunk. "You know food fuels my powers!"
"Yeah. Next time you're being fucked by Ivan I'll throw ribs at you and watch you chase them. Then I'll have Ivan." He grinned.
Alfred wasn't bothered by Gilbert's comment, picking out the kidneys next to munch on. "You're just mad because I fucked your brother and now I'm fucking Ivan."
The albino demon let out a growl, bearing his fangs. "You're still young and fresh in demon years! That's all you have going for you. My brother already grew bored of you, and so will Ivan. One night with Ludwig doesn't entitle you to anything." He was speaking of Ludwig's willingness to give Alfred anything he asked for within reason.
Alfred just bent his head back to look at Gilbert and laughed. "Shows how much you know! Oh, did I mention they both LOVE looking into these baby-blue eyes of mine?"
Gilbert's brows furrowed. "Why you little piece of shit! You said that on purpose!" Alfred bat his lashes. "That's it!" Gilbert aimed his gun at the American demon. "If we all do get caught and made into demon slaves, I hope you get raped and fucked until your asshole falls out! Then all you'd be good for is sucking cock and we won't have to hear your goddamn mouth!"
"You want to resort to childish insults?" Alfred crossed his arms. "Okay then. I hope that they use your empty eye sockets as fuck holes. That is, of course, if they'd want to fuck a torso in the first place! HA HA HA HA HA HA!"
"I would like to punch your teeth in, but we gotta jet." Gilbert jutted his thumb to the dark red cloud creeping along the ground. It was the Red Mist that came to suck up the bodies of dead demons and bring them to the underworld. Insulting Alfred further was going to have to wait.
"Gah! Let's go!"
They took off into the air.
Feliciano was just about ready to serve dinner, penne aioli, to his hungry demon roommates. However, there was trouble brewing in the apartment and only Ludwig, Ivan, Gilbert, and Sadiq were currently present. Gilbert had taken a seat quickly after having a private 'talk' with Ludwig. Alfred should be done in the shower because Feliciano heard the water turn off. He saw Ludwig suddenly storm out of the living room from his spot on the sofa, seeming to be thinking about something before getting up. Gilbert smirked. Feliciano looked worried. He placed the pasta bowl in the center of the table and told the others to help themselves while he went after Ludwig.
Alfred was just crossing from the bathroom, dressed in Antonio's robe, when he saw Ludwig coming towards him. He quickly bolted into Romano's room with Ludwig following. He knew that look.
Feliciano hurried after them. He peeked around the doorframe and yelped when Ludwig suddenly slammed Alfred up against the wall, his clawed hand around the demon's throat. Feliciano bit his nails, trembling, as he saw how frightened Alfred looked as he struggled against Ludwig's hold. What was going on? Weren't they all friends?
"Insult my brother like that again and I'll see to it that I eat your tongue and eyes!" He slammed Alfred against the wall again.
"I said I was sorry!" Alfred choked out. "Let go of me! Ludwig!"
"You are still a young demon! Just because you have the title of 'Duke' does not put you on the same status level as the rest of us! We are still your ELDERS!"
That comment made Alfred growl darkly at him. "I'm just as strong, if not stronger, than the rest of you! GAHHHHH!" He screamed out when Ludwig suddenly shoved a finger inside one of his bullet holes, pressing deep and hard. Alfred saw stars, paralyzed by the extreme pain and it brought him to tears.
"STOP IT!" Feliciano screamed. "You're hurting him!" He couldn't help but run to Alfred when Ludwig quickly dropped him to the floor. He knelt beside the other demon, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Are you alright?" He whispered.
Alfred was holding his bullet wound. "Y-Yeah…I'm okay…" He leaned in to Feliciano.
Ludwig saw the look of fear and hurt in both sets of eyes, like two puppies cowering in a corner. Feliciano was easy to frighten, but Alfred only ever showed fear to him. Alfred could play the guilt card yet he was unsure about Feliciano. He sneered, now feeling guilty for attacking Alfred so viciously as he did. Still, he had to please Gilbert for the demon was his elder brother who gave himself up to the Romans so that he could be safe. Blood was thicker than water. He could read Feliciano's confused expression asking 'what is going on?'. Ludwig didn't answer. Instead, he turned to leave only to bump into a furious Ivan.
"Ivan." Ludwig stated the demon's name flatly.
Ivan held out a small hook that rested against Ludwig's chest. "Keep your hands off of my Alfred."
Ludwig, unafraid of Ivan's 'torture toys', just narrowed his blue eyes at burning red ones. Ivan was angry, but Ludwig didn't care. "Tell him to stop insulting my brother. Make your choice so this foolishness will stop. You can't have them both." He hissed in pain as the tip of the hook pressed through his shirt and into his flesh.
Ivan brought the hook to his mouth and smiled with those shark teeth while licking the blood off the tip. "Don't dictate to me what I should or should not do with my demon dolls. Because if you do…you will get hurt." He said sweetly. "And I don't want to see that happen."
Still not phased, Ludwig bowed his head to Ivan and left the room.
Feliciano stood up from Alfred when Ivan came over to hug the young demon. He looked to the door where Ludwig had just stood, wondering what exactly had happened to make the blonde act out so viciously like that. Feliciano thought they were all friends, but seeing how quickly they fought with one another unnerved him. Now he had to watch for fighting and bloodshed among these demons too? He surrendered easily, but making peace was something he was always good at.
Suddenly fearless, he went after Ludwig.
