BEEL
Furuichi was panting as he ran with all his might towards Oga's house.
His breath left his dry lips in small white clouds, disappearing into the cold winter sky.
The journey from his house to Oga's didn't take long, and Furuichi could actually walk it with his eyes closed. That path that only took a few minutes, now seemed incredibly long to him.
He pushed his legs to run faster, but no matter how much he run, he had the impression that the whole world was against him, trying to slow him down. And when the road was empty, then he blamed his weak muscles for not doing a better job.
After receiving Oga's call, he run out of his house putting on only his jacket. Normally, in such a freezing weather, Furuichi would wear a heavy coat, scarf, hat and gloves, but this time he just couldn't effort to waste time.
After what were merely a few minutes that felt infinity for the silver-head, he came in front of the Oga residence.
Without even ringing the doorbell, he pushed the gate, just to find it open, and the same went for the main-door.
As soon as he got in, he quickly kicked his shoes and run upstair. Furuichi slammed the door of Oga's room open.
"Oga!" shouted the silver-head as he panted heavily.
"Oh, you're here."
"Damn- It's so hot in here!" Furuichi realized how incredibly hot the room was, the heat wrapped him in mere seconds.
Oga was sitting on floor by the side of his bed, and in that same bed, laid a small familiar figure.
"What, you rushed here?" asked Oga calmly, all too calm to Furuichi's liking.
"Ha? You're the one that called me saying that Bell had a fever. Hilda-san and Alaindelon went back to Hell, and your family is not at home, right? Of course I'd be worried since there's so one at home!"
Oga raised an eyebrow at his friend's worn out state and his scolding.
"It's fine. It's not so serious, Beel often has fever." said Oga calmly as he changed the towel on the child's forehead.
"What are you saying? I know that children often have fever, but that's not what I'm talking about here."
Furuichi took off his jacket and threw it on the chair.
He walked to the bed "Beel, how are you feeling?"
With the sweetest voice he could ever make, he caressed the child's cheek.
His fingers barely touched the demon's skin that Furuichi quickly pulled back «He's burning up!»
"Don't touch him too much, he's very hot right now." said Oga as he once again, changed the towel, that dried in a few minutes.
Beel laid on the big bed in his own. The small boy was neither awake nor asleep, his eyes dull and half-closed, staring at nothing. He didn't move, and barely reacted to what happened around him.
"Just leave him be, he'll be fine after some rest." said Oga, trying to calm his worried friend down.
Furuichi bit down his lower-lip as he threw Oga one of his dirtiest look.
"That's not the matter here. You should know how lonely a child feels when they are unwell, leaving them alone might help them heal, but that will only make them feel sad." hissed the silver-head.
Oga just stared at his friend, wordlessly. Even if they often bickered, they rarely fought with each other, and it was even more rare for Furuichi to truly get angry at Oga like that.
Seeing the brunette's dumb face and gaping mouth, Furuichi lost his temper.
"Tsk. Fine, I'll do it. You're just impossible."
His words were heavy with poison and anger, as if he had just been betrayed, his voice was scolding, worried and pained.
Furuichi took off all of his clothes, when he finished, the only thing he had left was his underwear.
Oga only watched in pure confusion as his almost naked friend got into his bed.
"Beel, can you hear me?" Furuichi once again caressed the child's cheek.
Oga heard him hiss in pain at the contact of the burning skin, but Furuichi let his fingers linger on the child's cheek longer this time.
Beel only moved his head slightly in reply, though his eyes were nowhere focused in Furuichi's direction.
"Hey he's too hot right know, it's dangerous to stay so near him!" Oga shouted as he tried to pull Furuichi out of the bed by grabbing his arm.
Furuichi yanked himself free from Oga's grip.
"Shut up. Don't shout. Of course it's hot in here, but if I can make Beel feel just a bit more at ease then I don't mind getting a little burnt."
Furuichi's voice was calm, and his words were spoken as if he lost all hope in humanity, but at the same time, they were so full of affection that it almost hurt to hear.
"Beel." Furuichi turned around as he tucked the sheets up.
Under the heavy sheets, the heat became almost unbearable, and even if Furuichi felt like his skin was being peeled off, his voice trembled a bit as he sweetly called the demon's name.
"Beel."
Oga couldn't get used to such a voice. «I've known him since forever, but I never knew he could make that kind of voice. He never made such a voice even in front of the chicks or even in front of me…such a kind and soft voice…»
"What are you standing there for? Go change the water if you have nothing better to do." even if his words sounded mean, Oga could tell that Furuichi was no longer angry with him, and the brunette unconsciously left out the breath he was holding.
Oga silently picked up the bowl and left the room.
"Beel, are you awake? You should sleep, you know?"
Furuichi wrapped his arm around the small body of the child, stroking the demon's back with his hand.
Beel shivered a bit at the skinship with the human. By now Furuichi's hands were no longer cold, but to the child who was burning up, even those warm hands felt like refreshing ice.
"Beel, do you need anything? Are you hungry? Thirsty?"
Beel heard and understood everything, but he just didn't have the strength to even move or speak in reply.
"Beel, close your eyes and try to sleep, otherwise you won't get better."
Beel always saw Furuichi as a constant in his life. He was always by his contractor's side, and he never thought deeply about it. But if the child had to pick between like or hate, he would doubtlessly pick like, after all Furuichi had always been kind to him. And even if he would never pick the silver-haired human as his contractor, he wouldn't want a life void of him.
"Beel, get better, ok? If not I'll be sad as well."
Beel didn't know if it was his fever, but he felt that both Furuichi's touch and voice, were much softer than normal.
"Beel."
The small demon liked how Furuichi repeatedly called out his name, it made him feel good how his name was pronounced with so much affection.
Furuichi's loving voice and his smooth touch put Beel at ease.
When he leaned in closer into Furuichi's body, be heard the human hiss in pain, but instead of distancing himself, Furuichi pulled Beel closer, until he was fully hugging him.
As Beel's head rested in Furuichi's chest, Beel listened to the human's heart-beat. Beel slowly let his eyelids fall, until his eyes closed.
Furuichi continued to caress the boy and to call out his name until the child's breath became even.
He smiled at the child's sleeping face. «Demon prince or whatever, he looks so harmless and small like this.»
Furuichi knew that Oga loved Beel, that he treasured the child above anyone else, but he couldn't help but mentally scold his friend for being so cold towards the child sometimes. No matter how much Oga cared for Beel, from time to time, he should show his affection, especially when Beel's still so young. And since Oga's so thickhead, Furuichi just taken it upon himself to do it.
Furuichi leaned in closer towards Beel, but when he was mere inches away from Beel, Oga opened the door. He didn't exactly slammed it open, but he still made Furuichi jump in surprise.
"Hm? He's sleeping? He wouldn't sleep no mater what I did. What did you do?" asked Oga surprised, as he lowered his voice a bit.
He put down the bowl of cold water, seeing that the towel was long forgotten as it laid on the floor.
"Nothing, idiot." replied Furuichi as he turned around and kept stroking Beel's back.
Oga stared impassively at the sight before him.
A few moments passed, then Oga made up his mind.
Hearing the sound of rustling clothes, Furuichi turned around, to see that Oga was stripping.
"Wha-"
The silver-head didn't even have the time to finish asking that Oga, with his top exposed, climbed into the bed.
"What what what!"
As he got in, he kind of pushed Furuichi who had to move Beel as well, in order to make more space for the new intruder.
"What the hell? What are you doing Oga!?" Furuichi, not wanting to wake Beel up, even in his panic, whispered.
"What, it's my bed so I can get in whenever I want."
"Are you stupid or what? Did you really need to get in now?"
"Tsk, just shut up, will you? But damn, it's sure hot here."
"That's what I told you, didn't I? Ok, then I'm getting out of here, it's definitely too cramped for three."
Furuichi was getting up, but he didn't even get to a sitting position that he was quickly pushed back down.
"What now!?" asked Furuichi exasperated.
"Shh. You'll wake Beel up." Oga pointed to the sleeping demon.
Furuichi looked at Beel, and noticed that his expression was a pained one, the child wined a bit in his sleep.
Seeing that, Furuichi quickly resumed his position and held Beel close while stroking his back.
The child's face, from a grimacing one, returned to be relaxed.
Furuichi slowly brought his lips to Beel's forehead and placed a caste but lingering kiss.
"Sleep well, Beel."
Beel, even if he was asleep, felt that soft sensation and leaned in closer towards Furuichi.
Omake
Since Beel got better, Oga and Furuichi decided to take him to the park, to enjoy some fresh air after a while.
As they sat on the bench, Oga decided that he needed a hot drink, so he went to buy something warm for all of them from the stand a few meters away.
Beel was left on Furuichi's custody, the demon was sitting on the human's lap as Furuichi wrapped his arms around the child to keep him warm.
As the duo sat there, a cat approached them, stopped right in front of tier bench and sat down, clear and sharp eyes stared at them.
"What a pretty cat. I don't think it's a stray." commented Furuichi.
Beel on the contrary, did not reach well to the cat, and after he removed the pacifier, he hissed at the animal.
He took Furuichi's arm and bit hard into the exposed skin between his jacket and gloves.
"Ouch!" Furuichi yelped in pain, pulling his wrist away.
"What happened Beel? Why did you bite me?"
Beel hissed again at the cat as it was leaving, before getting up, now standing on Furuichi's lap. The human quickly placed his hands around the child's body, afraid that he might fall.
The demon opened his arms and even if Furuichi didn't get what the child wanted, he leaned his face in closer.
Beel started to lick Furuichi's jaw, his small tongue running up and down the human's skin.
"Wha- Hey Beel, what's wro- Ow!"
Beel's tiny teeth bit down on Furuichi's skin, leaving some small red marks. After biting him, Beel continued to lick him.
"Really, what's wrong with you? Hey, stop that, it tickles!"
Furuichi couldn't help but chuckle at the funny sensation.
"Eep!"
But when he didn't expect it, Beel bit him again, this time much harder.
"Hey Beel, cut it out." a voice interrupted them and of course it belonged to Oga, who was holding 3 fuming drinks.
"Hey Oga, he keeps biting me! What did you teach him? Ah, or is it that his teeth are growing?"
"Dunno."
«Animals often mark their territory by licking and/or biting the person they are interested in. There's no way I'm telling him that…» thought Oga as he recalled what the documentary of the previous evening said.
"What!?" asked Furuichi indignant, but then he sighed tiredly "Well whatever."
Furuichi turned towards Beel with a stern look on his face.
"You know Beel, it's not nice to bite someone like that." his voice scolding and his eyes sharper.
He leaned in closer and closer, until heir faces almost touched.
Furuichi opened his mouth and softly bit Beel's nose, then liked its tip.
"Alright, I have no idea why you did that, but now we're even." announced the human as he smirked.
Beel stared at Furuichi in confusion for a while, then he patted his own nose, still feeling the human's lingering warmth.
He raised his head as hid eyes spiraled with joy "Aih!"
