Derrick and Mark reappeared in Derrick's room.
"So much for not hurting Andrew…" Mark said.
Derrick shot him a glare, "Whatever… just get back across and call your boyfriend before he worries."
"He's not-"
"He might as well be after all of that. Now go," Derrick said.
Alex nudged his unconscious owner until he was firmly swatted- scratch that- smacked, away.
"Why do you want me to leave so badly?" Mark asked, "I mean sure I didn't expect us to be friends after this but I wasn-"
"Because Andrew is going to be here any minute."
A green eye and a pure black eye opened as sharp teeth gritted into a growl.
"W-what?" Mark stuttered, "But that shock collar knocked him out when it exploded!"
"Something like that only gives you a few minutes to get out of here now go!" Derrick growled.
Mark realized there was no use in arguing. He stepped through the mirror, shivering a bit. Once on the other side he turned back to look at Derrick, "Thanks, Derrick."
"You can just call me Dark. Now cover your mirror. Don't uncover it until tomorrow."
Mark nodded and grabbed a blanket. He threw it over his mirror.
Derrick turned to face Andrew as he teleported in. Andrew glared it him, black dripping from his black eye. His burns already healing. Ciara started barking but one glare from Andrew and a swipe of black liquid that burned through the floor sent her running.
Derrick stood his ground though.
"Where is he? He's first. I'm going to make you watch-" Andrew stopped as he seen the black on the other side of the mirror, he let out a growl, "Fine… I'll deal with him and Sean later…" his nails grew into claws and he rushed at Derrick. Andrew swiped a clawed hand at him and Derrick grabbed his arm before throwing him against the wall. Andrew was at his feet again and threw all his weight into tackling Derrick. His claws dug into his chest before he clawed at his face. Derrick felt his skin burning as he threw Andrew off. Andrew slammed against the mirror and shattered it, on both sides.
Mark jumped back as he heard his mirror suddenly shatter. Chica yelped away from him.
The same black liquid that dripped from Andrew's eye now covered his claws as he launched himself back at Derrick. Derrick did his best to dodge Andrew's frantic attacks.
A nail caught his cheek however and the burning started. It would heal but it didn't change that it burned like hell.
Derrick grabbed Andrew's arm when he swung again. He swiftly pinned him to the nearest surface, the bed. "Andrew thats enough. Stop it," He growled.
Andrew struggling below him, "Let go of me! I ain't finished with yas!"
Derrick watched as he struggled. Andrew may be smaller and weaker but he had a lot of fight in him. It didn't really surprise Derrick that he was still ready to fight.
It was one of the reasons why Derrick liked him so much. He had was a perfect example of a demon in nature. Then without much thought Derrick leaned down and kissed him. That got Andrew to stop struggling.
Andrew was completely frozen. He had no clue what to do but as the kissing continued his body started to move at its own accord.
Mark had called Sean on Skype. They had talked about what had happened and how about how they meant to each other…
"I think I love you," Sean was the first to actually say it.
Mark stared at him and smiled, "I think I love you, too."
"That doesn't mean we're dating though huh?"
"Long distance would be hard… plus our subscribers would freak out…"
"Lets just keep it between us then," Sean tried, "I want this to work…"
"Alright," Mark started, "On one condition."
"Name it."
"If it doesn't work out. We remain friends."
"Deal."
Derrick rolled off of Andrew, panting he looked at the shorter demon and smiled at his disheveled appearance, part from the fight and their recent activities.
"Don't… don't think what we jus' did means anythin'…" Andrew grumbled before turning over and pulling the comforter over him.
"Mhm… thats why I heard you say that phrase."
"You heard nothin'," Andrew growled.
"Mhmm… then why haven't you left yet?"
"I'll leave once I can move my legs…"
"Really?.."
"Well once I can move my legs after another roun'... er two…"
Derrick found himself chuckling at his words.
"This doesn' mean I like ya er anythin'… I jus' like what ya can do fer me."
"Fair enough… friends with benefits it is now."
"Drop the friends part, stupid."
"So just benefits then?"
"Mhm…" he turned back over, "Now lay on yer back, I'm in control now."
