If there was one thing Angels didn't like doing, it was admitting their genuine feelings. So the moment Micheal felt something that even resembled something beyond platonic love, his first instinct was to quite literally go into denial…
Yeah, it wasn't exactly the best strategy but given he was eons old, the idea of possessing romantic feelings for anyone just felt preposterous. The fact Ada was a demon who served his brother was hardly helping matters.
He had enough problems on his hands as it was, the last thing he needed was to catch genuine feelings for a demon.
Say it was a bad idea, but Micheal was adamant about not causing another fuck up…
Still, it was fairly difficult to ignore, especially because Ada was the person he interacted with most. She was always by his side and he didn't have the heart to tell her to leave the premises. It didn't help that she thought he was her boss and would act more akin to a servant than a person around him.
To counter this behaviour, he did his best to reach out to Ada's freewill and goad her into being more comfortable around him, treating her like a person than just a servant.
The problem was that Ada had very little freewill to speak of, she rarely ever thought truly for herself, mainly thinking of how her 'Master' would react and what suited their best interests. Whenever Micheal tried to do things by himself, Ada would come over and ask him to let her help out and when he told her that wasn't necessary she stared at him like a deer in headlights.
Despite this, Micheal refused to give up on her, refusing to believe she was just a mindless drone only capable of obeying orders. He knew Ada was more than that, though it didn't appear she was aware of that part as every time he complimented on her improvement, she said that she was doing it for him and not for herself…
Thankfully, it was approaching the end of the month and by then Ada had stopped calling him 'Lord' or whatever other titles she had for him. It was small progress but Micheal was going to take what he could get, especially since by then it was only a matter of time before Lucifer and Lilith came back with the baby.
'Today is probably the last day…' He mused to himself,'Everything Lucifer neglected is at least somewhat taken care of. Hopefully by the time he and Lilith return, they're satisfied with what I've done…
"Lucifer?" Ada called out to him, peeking from the door.
"Yes?"
"You have a meeting with Lord Asmodeus in Lust today. Don't you think we should get there as soon as possible?"
"I suppose we should. It wouldn't be good on my part if we were late. Hold on, I just have to take something with me before I go…"
Micheal then reached into the front desk and pulled out Stolas's book and tucked it inside his suit to ensure it stayed with him at all times.
"Have you got everything you need?"
"Yes…"
When they arrived at the Lust Sector, it didn't take long to find Asmodeus' home. Though he had never stepped foot in Lust, it was fairly obvious which buildings were owned by the rich and the ones that weren't.
Poverty was rampant just about everywhere and the only visible difference Micheal could really see from Lust was that the skies were purple instead of red and that the population was made up of sex related demons instead of a varied mix of sinners and hellborns. You couldn't go five minutes without seeing at least a dozen strip clubs and bars.
Thankfully Ada knew her way around and drove up to the front of a large castle. When Ada and Micheal went to the front, they saw several identical maids waiting for them patiently.
Upon closer inspection, Micheal just how...inappropriately dressed they were. They looked like they had brought those costumes from an adult store and wore them to work and it was hard for Micheal to take them seriously.
"Um Ada," He whispered,"Why are they dressed like that?"
"Lord Asmodeus has certain tastes. He likes his servants to be dressed for the occasion and to look as pleasing as possible even if others may deem this state of dress as rather questionable…"
"You talk from personal experience?"
"Not really. I've never really spoken to Asmodeus before, but I've listened to your conversations with him. Never really said anything because this situation didn't involve me, but I got a good feel for how he was just by how he acted. Not exactly a pleasant individual and he's a bit slimy when it comes down to it."
He narrowed his eyes,'Can't say I'm surprised. Better approach this situation with a bit more caution than usual…'
"Excuse me, Lord Lucifer?" One of the maids asked,"You're going to come inside right?"
"I'll be right there…."
Micheal motioned for Ada to follow him as they moved onward, the maids welcoming them inside Asmodeus's home with overly wide smiles on their faces. Their gazes never moved from them and Ada could pick up Micheal's sudden discomfort as they continued to track their every move.
"Are you alright?" She asked in a voice barely above a whisper.
"For the most part. It's just I wish these creepy girls would stop following us. They haven't blinked the entire time and it's disturbing me. If I didn't know any better I'd think that Asmodeus has sex robot maids following us wherever we wnet…"
Ada didn't respond, choosing to study his expression. He looked somewhat uncomfortable and seemed to be eyeing the girl behind them every few seconds, as if he was paranoid they'd try something while they weren't looking…
Without thinking, Ada chose to grab his hand. His neck snapped in her direction, staring at her in utter bemusement,"What are you doing?"
"Helping you relax. You looked like a source of comfort and I heard mortals in the Earthly realm hold hands to comfort another person they are close to…"
'Must be a mortal thing…' He then smiled and squeezed her hand,"Thanks, Ada. I don't quite get it, but I do appreciate the gesture…"
"Anything for you, Lucifer…"
He winced, like an arrow to the heart. An arrow that reminded him of Ada saw him as his brother and not who he really was. It was a cold reminder that all the time he had spent with her would be for nothing and that she'd go back to her old ways the moment the real Lucifer returned.
Still, he decided to take what he could get...he wasn't supposed to have these feelings anyway. Better go get this meeting over with for his sake if anything…
-
Eventually, they got inside of Asmodeus's private quarters, they saw him lying back against a couch with glass of red wine with a purple cigarette in the other.
Micheal didn't know what he was expecting when he saw him but w
Micheal saw a singular chair across from him and sat down with Ada placing her hand on his shoulder.
"Ah, you've finally arrived, Lucifer. I've been wanting to talk to you for quite some time. It's been a while since we've seen each other face to face…"
"And what pleasure do I owe you for today?" Micheal asked calmly, examining the taller demon with narrowed eyes. So far, Asmodeus looked just how he pictured him, tall, purple and on the attractive side of the coin.
Regardless, Micheal knew Asmodeus was the Demon of Lust and someone he wanted little to do with and desired to end this 'meeting' as soon as possible…
"I wanted to see if the rumors of your newfound attitude were true," He admitted, sipping on his drink,"Everyone's been whispering about it but I just had to see it for myself…"
"Newfound attitude?" Micheal asked, raising his eyebrow.
"Don't play dumb, Lucifer. It's noticeable that your mood has 'improved' so to speak in the past month. You've been overly invested in matters that normally were no concern to you prior. "
The 'King' showed no sign of faltering from these accusations, calmly inquiring in a faux curious tone,"What do you mean by this?"
"For one, you actually give a damn about the lower class demons and their state of beings, as you've demanded our taxes go to their sake as other causes that would help them, like food services and whatnot. That doesn't even mention your sudden urge to...punish those who have been messing with the mortal realm. "
"I don't know what youre talking about."
"Yes you do. I remember hearing that you confiscated Stolas Grimoire after he had allowed a group of assassins to use it every so often to kill anyone on Earth. Is that rumor true?"
"Even if it was, what's it to you?"
Asmodeus frowned,"Because it's rather out of character for you, Lucifer. It's one thing to care about the poor in your own realm, but why do you care about the lives of those residing on Earth? It's hardly your concern what happens."
"Actually you're wrong," Micheal cut in,"It is my concern. Remember the overpopulation crisis? Where do you think all the wicked souls go when they are killed by those Imps? That's right, into the Pride Sector, the place that I reign. Hell itself is already overpopulated and I don't need a group of Imps constantly killing people left and right and bringing more problems into my realm. You may not see the problem considering Sinners aren't allowed to traverse the other Rings, but since Pride is the only place they're allowed to exist in, it's a valid concern of mine to have. That and Heaven will likely take issue if this goes on too long…."
"Even if I do take your words at face value, I find it odd you didn't kill them or Stolas for what they did. Considering how you went as far as to take his book from him, I'd think you'd cut your losses and kill Stolas for being irresponsible. You've killed people for doing far less than this and it strikes me as odd you let all these people who upset you live. You were never the type of mercy Lucifer, what gives?"
"Does it really matter? I saw no need to kill Stolas. It was simply a waste of time and energy. Had he not been cooperative I would've considered it but since he fell in line and handed the book over without posing a fight I let him go. It's not like he's off the hook either, he has to find a way to do his job without the book in the time being and I'm certain that'll keep him from repeating this offense. And the Imps are no real threat without the book in their possession."
"And Verosika Mayday? From what I heard you rarely punished her at all. She's allowed to do whatever she wants and the only restriction is that she doesn't bring those drinks with her on her tours to Earth. That's barely a slap on the wrist. I've seen you do worse to people who looked at you in the street in a slightly funny manner.``
Micheal rolled his eyes,"Because like the Imps, Verosika is not a threat that warrants being put down. She's just a celebrity with a large ego, that's hardly a rarity down here. Besides, unlike the Imps, she was at least on Earth legally and she only had one incident out of the many years she's been on tour. She's also rather cooperative and I see no reason to go overboard with her. Still, I don't see how this is relevant. Did you call me here to discuss my behaviour or do you actually have a reason for summoning me? My time is precious and I'd rather not be wasting it with you."
"Your behaviour is relevant to this conversation, Lucifer. Especially since you've been heavily taxing the rest of us and using the tax money to support. These new policies are rather unpopular and I doubt I'm the first person to complain to you about this…."
Micheal scoffed,"Believe me, I've heard plenty of whining about my new policies. What about it?"
"Do you not care how unpopular your policies are, Lucifer?"
"Why does it matter? You're not exactly poor, you and the other Deadly Sins are the richest people in your sectors and I don't understand why you are so whiny. For once your money is actually being put to good use and it's not like you're going to spend it on anything better anyway," Micheal then tilted his head to the side,"Tell me, what do you do with your money anyway? Buy slaves who you break mentally and physically to the point their bodies and mind are shaped to idolize you and you alone, drugging them whenever they get out of line? Or do you spend it on the latest limo? Perhaps a piece of furniture that you never use. Either way, the money is being used more wisely than before to make things at least somewhat less awful. Regardless, my decision on the matter is final, nothing you say can change my mind."
"Since when do you care about the suffering of others? This realm is built off of pain and misery and only now do you decide to do something? What caused this change of heart? Did your brother fucking your wife somehow cause you to care or something? Or did your new sex-toy whisper things into your ear? I know she's got a nice ass but I didn't think you'd let that get into your politics."
Micheal twitched, his eyes growing with rage.'This no good bastard..how dare he...
"Who are you calling a sex-toy?" Ada asked in an offended manner.
"Damn, you didn't say she could speak, Lucifer. Here I thought your sex-toy was completely mute…"
Michael's eyes narrowed,"Ada is not my sex-toy Asmodeus. I'd appreciate it if you stopped speaking about her in such a manner or else. Ada had nothing to do with my behaviour and I don't like you insulating me otherwise."
"I wouldn't speak of her if she wasn't acting all warm and cozy around you. It's pretty noticeable that you have a new girl at your feet again. It's fairly distracting to have one of your minions getting up close and personal when we're trying to discuss business. You should tell her to leave."
"Ada has every right to be here. She is someone I respect and I won't tolerate you treating her as a lesser person. You may be the Lord of Lust but I'm the one at the top and I demand you treat those under my wing with respect…"
Asmodeus flinched before reluctantly sighing,"Alright, have it your way…" He then averted his gaze,"Say, you two want a drink? It'd surely kill the tension in the room…"
Micheal shrugged,"I don't see why not, a little tea wouldn't hurt honestly. What about you, Ada?"
"I already drank beforehand…"
"Perfect," Asmodeus cooed before calling a male servant and whispering something in his ear that neither could decipher. When he came back, he refilled Asmodeus's wine while handing Micheal a glass of apple flavored tea.
He took the cup from the servant's hands and drank it, staring at Asmodeus as he drank the entire time. Once he finished the whole thing he chuckled when he saw the Lord of Lust's bemused expression.
"What's wrong, Asmodeus? You look rather pale today. I have to admit, the tea wasn't bad, probably would've tasted better without the ludicrous amount of poison , I don't know what possessed you to make you think that was a good idea, but I'll tell you one thing, you're as cocky as your are stupid, and you are very cocky for pulling that on me. Especially since it doesn't feel like you know who you're dealing with…"
Micheal then stood up from his seat and looked at Lust Demon right in the eyes, gold orbs glistening with an eerie calmness in his voice.
Gold..' Asmodeus thought,'His eyes are gold...Lucifer's eyes are black…'
"You're not him.." Asmodeus heaved,"You're not Lucifer…You're just an imposter. A fake wearing his face. I knew there was a reason for this odd behaviour. The real Lucifer would never act this way…"
"Oh, it appears I've found it. Guess you aren't a complete idiot after all. I had everyone fooled for a while but it seems someone has finally seen through the act at long last. Too bad for you that you won't get to brag to anyone else once I'm through with you…"
Without a moment of hesitation, the Arch-Angel charged forward, gripping Asmodeus's neck tightly in one hand. He writhed, trying to free himself by digging into Micheal's sleeve to no avail.
"L-Let me go you monster!"
He paused,"Monster?" Micheal then chuckled,"Oh now that's rich. You're calling me a monster. If I'm a monster, then you're something far worse. Your presence has been nothing but a stain on this wretched world and I won't tolerate it for another second. I've had to put up with a vile presence for far too long. I know your sins, I can just sense them off of you. You just reek of degeneracy and filth, it sickens me to the core. You are a repulsive creature with far too much power granted to you. You may think you're tough, but I'm far stronger than you'll ever be…"
As he continued to struggle, Micheal tightened his grip on his neck,"Your resistance is futile. I can do this all day, but that would just be a waste of time. You don't deserve me time, in fact, neither Ada or I should waste another second in this godforsaken mansion. You are nothing but scum and I refuse to allow you to slide through the cracks like the snake you are. Not only do you disrespect me, but you disrespect Ada, believing she's nothing but a sex-toy. Though I can't be surprised given how you view those around you as puppets for you to use. Which is why...I'll make sure you never hurt anyone again…"
"Y-You can't kill me! Lucifer still needs me! Someone needs to rule after this sector, if you kill me then no one will be able to run it!"
"Is that supposed to be my problem? Because that's hardly a concern of mine. Besides, Lucifer will just replace you with some other demon, I'm certainly out of the many children you've fathered that are running around on the streets, Lucifer can find one and let someone raise them to take over in your stead. And it's not like anyone will miss someone like you anyway. You're better off gone and I'm certain everyone in this damn Mansion will say good riddance once you're out of the picture…"
Micheal then held out his hand in front of his face,"Normally I'd just turn you into a fluffy creature or something like that, but I believe the punishment should be a bit more severe than that. You're far too dangerous to be allowed to live as you are meaning that erasure is the only option…"
Mentally, he prepared himself to erase Asmodeus from existence from the body to the soul. Unlike the last time he messed with another person's soul, Micheal intended to be through with causing any unwanted consequences….
So he took it slow to ensure the intended outcome, taking his time to erase the Lord from existence.
"Don't worry," Micheal said,"you'll be dead soon enough. It'll be over soon…"
However, as Asmodeus was getting erased, Micheal noticed he was...opening his jaw for some reason….
At first, he thought was going to try biting him but was caught off guard when a gust of harsh air attacked him, forcing its way through his nostrils, nearly suffocating him as he fell to the ground, heavily panting as he fought to regain his breath.
"Grak! His breath is about as foul as his pitch black soul! Sweet heavens, it's the worst thing I've ever had the misfortune of smelling in my entire life! Don't think I'm ever going to forget that smell for over a century…"
"Um…"
He turned, eyes wide in surprise. He had forgotten about Ada being present and she looked somewhat scared.
"Ada...I know you're scared but I swear, I'm not going to hurt you," He slowly stood up,"Don't be afraid…"
"Who are you again?"
"Micheal. I'm Saint Micheal Magne, Lucifer's twin brother. I am the King...er...Former King of Heaven," He mumbled bitterly,"My siblings kind of kicked me out after I slept with my brother's wife by accident. You know the story…"
"Oh I heard. Just didn't think I'd ever see you in the flesh. And now that I think about it,. It certainly explains a lot, "She sighed in relief,"Knew something was off about you, I'm impressed you managed to fool me for so long. Height should've been a dead giveaway yet I still fell for it."
"So am I…"
"Wait, if you were serving in Lucifer's stead, where's Lucifer?"
"He and Lilith went on vacation somewhere. I don't know where they went but I assume they headed out to get away from the press and the stress of the job. The only reason I dressed up as Lucifer was so that his work could be done without anyone noticing and until now, it worked."
"So now that the ruse is up, what do you plan on doing?"
"Head back to the Mansion of course. Lucifer's probably already there with the baby if I had to guess. We should get going, I despise being in this Mansion and I don't want Lilith getting ahead of herself and naming the child before I get a say in it."
"Are you alright?" She asked,"You didn't look too well when Asmodeus threw that...gust at you.
"Course I am, Ada. I'm just...a bit...tired. It's nothing major, it'll pass eventually. Whatever Asmodeus threw at me isn't something to be concerned over…"
"If you say so, Micheal…" She said before sighing in relief.
"OMG MOM! He's so cute!" Charlie cooed as she held her new baby brother,"Who's my adorable baby brother? You are! You are! I love you so much!"
"Charlie, you're gonna suffocate that baby with affection if you keep it up," Vaggie warned.
"Quit exaggerating Vaggie, he's my baby brother!"
"Half brother," Lucifer corrected.
"I don't care, he could be my second cousin for all I care and I still would want to hold him!"
Lucifer seemed ready to retort but Lilith elbowed him,"Let her have her fun, dear. You know Charlie always wanted a sibling…"
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I have to be happy with how that happened…"
Most of the other residents of the Mansion quickly began to crowd around Charlie as they tried to get a good look at the baby. Some even tried to snatch the kid but Charlie shoved them away,"Hey! Hands off my brother!"
"We wouldn't be trying to grab him if you just let us hold him!" Velvet growled.
"Yeah!" Angel shouted,"Come on Charlie, let us at least see him dammit!"
"I would if you guys weren't trying to grab him!"
"Well at least let someone hold him!"
Charlie made a face before making a decision. If she was gonna haul the baby off to someone, she wanted it to be someone who didn't look like they'd try running off with him…
And then she saw Vol in the corner of the room by himself.
She smiled,"Hey Volastor, wanna hold him?"
The fusion blanked,"Excuse me?"
"I said do you wanna hold the baby? He's my new baby brother! Wanna give it a try?"
"Err…" Vol stammered,"Charlie I'm not certain I can do that...I've never held a child before…"
"Don't worry, it's really easy. Just be gentle and everything will be fine!"
"But I-Gah!" Vol suddenly had the baby thrusted into his arms without warning. He tensed, unease sweeping in as the baby laid in arms. Utter panic ensued as his breathing became silent,'Oh god..what do I do with this thing? It's just a small squishy creature that's laying in my arms. What am I supposed to do now? Drop it?'
"Aw," Velvet cooed,"Look how cute he is! He's just snuggling up against you, Vol! That's so adorable!"
"I wish that was," Vanny whined,"Why does he get to hold the baby and not us!? It ain't fair!"
"You know why…" Charlie said, before silently thinking to herself,'Also I don't trust half of you around children…'
"Vol?" Vincent asked, noting Vol's panicked expression,"Are you alright? You look frightened…"
"Oh he's probably just a bit nervous, he's never held a baby before! Maybe a bit of music will calm everyone's nerves..." Alastor then pulled out 'Victor' and began playing the Radio, gently rocking the inanimate object himself as he hummed.
Vol's eye twitched,'Is that fucking bastard playing with that damn Radio!? I can't believe he still carries that around,it's been the bane of my existence since it got here!'
So many times Vol tried to get rid of Victor, but Alastor refused to let the Radio go, much to Vol's utter annoyance. It was so hard to resist the urge to pull your hair out when your father figure was coddling his Radio pet and forcing everyone to act like it was sentient….
Thankfully before anything got out of hand, Micheal and Ada entered the scene.
Lucifer smiled,"Hello brother, long time no see. Have you managed to handle my affairs while I was away?"
Micheal nodded,"I have. All the paperwork is done and I've handled the things you were...neglecting to the best of my ability…"
"Neglecting?"
"Oh you know, just affairs you really should've dealt with by now. And I mean nothing personal when I saw this brother, but you really need to keep a better eye on certain demons," He then oh so casually mentioned,"By the way, I hope Asmodeus wasn't your favorite or anything because I...got rid of him…"
"You did?"
"Yes. Permanently."
Lucifer shrugged,"Honestly I never liked that fucker. Way too handsy for me. Though I'm going to need to find a replacement now that he's gone…"
"Glad you don't mind that one. Though I do suggest you heed my advice because if you keep having demons escape to Earth it's going to come back to bite you one day. "
He scoffed,"Whatever. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for tending to things while I was gone. I really did need that break…. Though why did you bring Ada here?"
"She was the one who I traveled around with the most. She drove us back here and I didn't want to leave her by herself."
"Not to mention we came to see the baby…" Ada mentioned before looking at Lilith skeptically,"You know, for someone who just went through childbirth you don't look all too affected."
"I am actually. I'm beyond exhausted. It's just that I used my magic to get the baby out instead of having the child naturally…"
"You did?"
"Why wouldn't I? Did you really think I was going to sit there and be in labor for over nine hours? No thanks, that life isn't for me. I did that once and I swore to never go through that pain again. Thankfully magic makes everything easier and the entire procedure was rather painless and only took thirty minutes to complete…"
"Have you named the child?" Micheal asked,"You better not have done it without me…"
"Relax, we haven't even given him a name yet. Honestly I don't know what to name him. I was expecting another girl and the names I had in mind wouldn't fit…"
"Then I shall see…" Micheal headed over before asking,"Hey Volastor, mind handing my child over to me?"
"Uh...sure...Here…"
"Thanks…" He stared at the baby, awestruck at what he saw. The baby was so beautiful. He looked just like Micheal, the only real difference was that he had feminine eyelashes and medium length hair.'By the heavens, what a beautiful creature…Too beautiful even…It's like looking at Heaven's Light. He'd be fit to rule Heaven…'
It would be perfect. To have a child of his own that'd be able to rule Heaven. While he never planned on having children, the prospect of a child fascinated him and now that the baby was here, an heir to the throne was an interesting prospect.
Only for it to all come crashing down at one little detail…
'I'm still banished...He'll have to stay down here with me…' His dream would be nothing but a pipe-dream as long as he was banished and he doubted his siblings would ever let him be King after this…
"Micheal," Ada said, putting a hand on his shoulder,"Did you not hear me? What's going to be the name of your child? Everyone wants to know…"
There was silence at first before Micheal said,"Samuel sounds like a good fit…"
Lucifer flinched,"Did you seriously just give him my old name?"
"What? It's not like you're using it anymore…"
The King of Hell said nothing in response,"Still, I hope you know that you can't send him to Heaven. They'll never accept him and you know it…"
"I won't deny that…" He replied bitterly,"I'm well aware of my position, Lucifer. There's no need to rub it in."
"I'm not rubbing it in, I'm stating facts…. You know that if it comes down to it, you can always join me if you want…"
"I appreciate the gesture, brother, I really do but I'm not in the mood for this. Please just leave me be with my child. I'd really appreciate it if you did.."
Lucifer was about to protest but Lilith said,"Honey, leave Micheal be. He has a lot on his mind, let him have a break, he's earned it…"
"Fine…Come on everyone, let's give Micheal his alone time with the baby…"
Everyone took their leave, Lucifer giving his brother a weary look as he left. Ada stayed behind only for Micheal to say,"You too, Ada. It's nothing personal, but I'd really like to be left alone just this once…"
"I understand…"
Once she left, Micheal heaved a sigh of relief. With everyone gone, he decided to focus his full attention on the baby. He allowed the baby to grab his finger, the infant grip holding onto him fondly. The newborn then blinked for the first time and cooed.
"My son…" He sighed,"You're too good for this awful Realm. I'm so sorry you were brought into this horrible world. You don't deserve this. Down here, the only future we have is being an accessory to Lucifer and his family. You won't ever be able to rule, at least not the way I'd want you to…" The white parts of his eyes then turned a ghastly black, now burning with malice at his siblings,"But don't you worry, Daddy is going to fix will rule Heaven, one way or another alongside me. The throne will be ours. I'll make sure of it. Mark my words…"
The baby then whined, causing Micheal's eyes to revert to their normal state,"H-Hey now, don't cry..Hush hush, little one. Daddy's here...Daddy's here…"
Samuel stopped crying, much to Micheal's delight. It wouldn't last, but he wanted the happiness in his heart to last a eternity...
Thanks for 12,551 views, tell me what you think below and ask a question if you want.
Enigmus-288: Yeah, I felt like adding Wally and Stolas in. And Micheal is kind of a having a bit of 'fuck what do I do' kind of crisis because he's currently 'grounded' from Heaven. He wants to raise the kid there but his siblings banned him from coming back without any real clarification of when exactly he's allowed back in.
Mitusuru6: That's just a thing that happens, I just don't want anyone getting confused or anything. Though yeah, Vol is super jealous of an inanimate object, that was probably the funniest thing I had one that doc while writing honestly.
TheColoristDemon: Yeah, for the sake of character development and me being too far into this story to quit, I'm gonna keep going. Honestly I didn't anticipate this thing being over 30 chapters. Kind of got carried away and the least I can do is at least finish the damn arc without leaving anyone hanging. And yeah, Micheal kind of fucked up and after this chap you're gonna see why it's gonna take a turn.
