Hard life of Mr. Wilde

Ch. 2: Storms

Characters belong to KOG games.


Rufus did not like or dislike storms. Sometimes they were nice – namely when he was in warm room supplied with thick warm blanket with interesting book to read. Sleeping with thunders roaring outside wasn't for light sleeper like him.

Yes during storms he was reading. Sitting in his room in Chases mansion with flame loudly crackling in fireplace. Peaceful evening indeed, at least till someone started banging at his door loudly.

"I'm coming." Haros sighed standing up. He was wondering who could it be. After all he purposely chose room in emptier part of building. Only weirdos lived there beside him... and Dio.

Speaking about... wolf? On his door step stood Dio, only his magenta hair and horns visible from under his blanket. Without word asmodian walked in past Rufus who was too surprised to say a thing. Just when he was about to ask drakar what he was doing loud thunder roared outside and Dio let quiet 'kya' and jumping up a bit.

Now he got it. Almighty leader of Burning Canyon was afraid of mere thunderstorm. He would laugh if not Dios eyes watering a bit despite him doing all he could to stay calm. Sighing Rufus did las thing anyone would expect from him. He... "You may stay here but just tonight."...let other demon stay.

Dio only hymphed something – thanks possibly and lied on Rufus' bed.

Shaking his head soul taker took his previous seat and returned to his book. Each thunder roaring outside was making Dio, or more like blanket he was completely hidden under fidget.

Soon soul taker found himself unable to read. Dios fidgeting was taking his mind of book for some unknown reason. Sighing he put book down and decided to do most out of character action he could. He hoped no one will come before he wakes up. Sighing once again he took off his blanked and lied next to Dio embracing taller demon awkwardly.

"Wha..." Dio muttered emerging from under blanked, eyes still water from silent sobbing he was hiding this whole time. Rufus instantly thought that drakar is dangerous for his health. Especially with his hair down and scared. "Just sleep." he said as calmly as his racing hearth let him. With widening eyes Dio snuggled to him. He'd never expect magenta haired man to be snuggle type. 'Well world is full of surprises' Rufus thought. Lass was one of those surprises.

Dio quickly fell asleep. On other hand Rufus was unable to sleep wondering when he let someone get this close to him. Well it's not like anyone tried to get all that close to him. And it's already common fact for all chasers that Dio and Rufus became kind of friends. If you can call just sitting next to each other in dining hall waiting for Alfred to make breakfast friendship. It wasn't like Rufus ever asked Dios butler to cook for him, it was Dios idea.

Yet it was pointless to say haros disliked it, he quite enjoyed stygians company which, as much as he generally disliked company, was surprising fact. From time to time he found himself hurt when Dio was fighting with Sieghart. Quickly women in chase started noticing something and Rufus could swear they formed some kind of alliance to pair him up with Dio. No that... Stop there. "You're not Sieghart to let people hook you up with whoever they please. If you fall in love, which you possibly did, you decide what to do with it." he muttered gently stroking Dios hair.

He didn't even notice when he fell asleep, but he noticed loud scream as he waked up.

"W-w-why were we sleeping together." Dio shuttered. Yawning widely Rufus barely recognized his surroundings. When his eyes fell on Dio sitting on floor, half naked, blushing he remembered what happened last night.

"You came here yesterday and fell asleep." Rufus said stretching.

For while Dio was silent for while processing what other said. "Oh. Sorry." he said calming down. And blushing. He really was hazard to Rufus' health. Cuteness should be forbidden for Dio. Just then he realized something.

Leader of asmodian Burning Canyon clan was sitting on floor, in his room, half naked like blushing like virgin school girl in front of her crush. Rufus face palmed on his comparison.

"You okay?" Dio asked kneeling on bed.

"Yeah..." Rufus answered a bit surprised by how close to his face Dios own was.

"Yhym. I'll use your bathroom. Alfred should come soon with my clothes" Dio said just going to bathroom like he owned place.

Rufus thought it's quite convenient. At least he got time to take control of his body. He barely stopped himself from hugging other demon. Shivering at thought he shook off the thought.

"You sure you're okay?" Dio asked walking in.

"Huh?" Rufus turned around to see... naked Dio in door to bathroom. "Put something on!?" he panicked falling off bed in attempt to make some distance.

"I just want to know where are towels." asmodian said sighing. 'Something on' his face was saying.

"Cupboard next to sink." Rufus quickly said and Dio backed to bathroom still wondering what happened to shorter demons usual calm style. 'Messing with it a bit will be fun way to kill boredom.' stygian thought getting towel.

In meantime Rufus put on dressing-gown and decided to finish his book. After all he was close to finishing when Dio interrupted him last night.
