This Dave human is really intriguing. He's a mutant too, and very brave, for a human. He'd dared lie to you, after all. You find yourself becoming more and more interested in his character and refuse to leave him alone from now on. You'll learn everything about him, even if it's against his will!

That's why you're climbing down the stairs of his building with him. He thinks the other humans will be scared if they saw your horns and wings and the moment you both step outside, on the sunlight, he looks at you and you get exactly the reaction you were waiting for.

"Where the fuck did your wings go? And your horns? And why does your skin looks like mine instead of grey?"

"Demons can do that if they want. They can hide such features. This little ability has allowed us to live among humans and torment them for centuries." You begin to walk and Dave soon catches up.

"Torment humans, huh? It makes sense and all, but, why aren't you tormenting me?" He asks.

"I've tormented humans for a long time, but I got bored. That was when I saw you and made you my little observation project."

He merely nods in acknowledge. You keep walking until you reach Dave's destination: a fast-food restaurant. You should have guessed. His eating habits are terrible for human standards. He goes in and you follow him. You both keep quiet in line, waiting for your turn. Dave orders for himself and looks at you questioningly. It takes a moment for you to get what he means.

"The same as you." You say when you realize he was asking what you wanted to eat.

Dave orders a takeout and you head home. When you're at his apartment again, he asks:

"Do you even eat human food? I mean, I didn't know and I wouldn't ask 'hey demon, do you eat this shit too?' in front of all those people, 'cause it would make me look like a crazy person, asking about demons' eating habits and shit…"

"I understand. And yes, I enjoy human food, but as a practically immortal being I actually don't need to feed. Demons often enjoy the taste of human emotions, though, specially fear." He seems to think about what you said while eating his French fries and a thought occurs to you.

"I came to you to asks questions and satisfy my curiosity, but instead I'm answering your questions." He looks up at you.

"That's your fault, not mine." Then you make up a little rule.

"From now on I will ask the questions and you will only answer them. You're not allowed to ask me anything. Is that clear?"

"Yeah, sure, whatever." He shrugs, not taking his eyes off his fries.

His phone buzzes you look curiously over his shoulder to see John is pestering him again. The other human was asking Dave for dating advice, it seems. He was talking about this girl he met in a club last week and was describing her and telling Dave how perfect she was. When you read the description of the female you start to laugh. Dave looks at you questioningly.

"What are you laughing at?"

"This John human, friend of yours. He has absolutely no idea what he's getting into with that female." You say, still snickering a little.

"What do you mean? Do you know her? You said you didn't know other humans besides me." Did you just detect a pang of jealousy? No, you certainly didn't.

"I know her, but she's not a human. She's a demon." Dave's expression is unreadable again.

"Should I warn John?" He sounds worried. Did he not trust demons could be perfectly civil if they wanted to? Why do you feel disappointed? Whether Dave trusts demons or not doesn't matter, you're here just to satisfy your curiosity about him.

"It's no big deal. She's a bitch, but she won't harm your human friend. She's only aggressive towards other demons."

You watch as Dave types date tips and pickup lines to his friend. When he turns his attention to you again his expression changes completely. He looks really scared, but he's not looking at you, he's looking at some point behind you, so you turn around to see another demon standing in Dave's apartment. It's actually another demon, Sollux. You start to worry a little bit, because he never comes to the human world…

"KK, you need to come back. Now." That doesn't sound good.

"Why? What's going on?"

"The Boss had gone crazy and he's threatening to kill everyone." That's definitely not good.

"Damn! I'm coming right away." With that, Sollux disappears in a cloud of dark smoke and goes back to Hell. You look back at Dave, who doesn't seem to get shit of what's going on.

"I have to take care of a problem down there now, but I will come back. Don't think you'll get rid of me so easily, human." And you too disappear in a dark cloud of smoke.


When you get home Sollux comes to fill you in about the situation. He is one of the few demons who know about your power. You think it's no big deal, but it comes in handy in cases like this. He leads you to the Boss' lair and leaves you to your mission. You knock on the huge door before coming in.

It's pitch black inside and you rely on your great night vision to see where you're going. You hear a faint noise coming from further inside the lair, like a deep laugh. It gives you shivers, but you're the only one who can talk the Boss out of his insanity. You finally spot him painting the wall with something you desperately wish is not blood.

It is blood, though, and you can see the corpse of the demon lying beside the Boss. You carefully approach him, as quietly as possible, but he hears you and tackles you to the ground. His pupils are dilated and blood-shot. His grin is wide and scary, the face of a crazy murderer.

You tentatively put one hand on his arm and time seems to stop around you. You look intensely into his eyes and soon he is as docile as a baby human. You leave the lair as soon as you can and go back to Sollux.

"He's dealt with. But keep in mind that next time I may not be here to help."

"Why? Did a human sweep you off of your feet, KK? Maybe that human you were talking to earlier?" He says, wriggling his eyebrows in a suggestive manner.

"Shut the fuck up, Sollux! I am not, nor will I ever be in love with a puny human!" You feel your cheeks getting warm and disappear from Hell, back to the human world, before Sollux could notice.


It's nighttime when you make it back to Dave's apartment and you notice he's not there. You find a note addressed to you on the coffee table.

hey demon

im out for a bit didnt know how long itd take for you to come back

anyway if you come back before i do im at johns

You read the note over again and wonder why he would tell you where he was. He probably knew you could find him if you wanted to.

Would you try to find him immediately if he hadn't left this note, or would you wait for him? The answer is obvious: you would look for him. You start to wonder if all you've been doing is really just curiosity and Sollux's words come to your mind.

You dismiss those thought immediately, because they make absolutely no sense whatsoever.
