Incubus insists that Maguro is part of his clan because of his beautiful face. Maguro flatly insists that he is not but ends up presented to Incubus' clan anyway. Succubus certainly doesn't approve. Requested by a tumblr anon!
Kinship
"...and that's why you must join our clan."
Maguro Sasaki was very, very close to slamming the door in Incubus' face, but he was raised a proper child. If he had a tuna, then he would have smacked him with it and then slammed the door in his face just like his father told him to do. Tuna always slipped people up.
"Uh, thanks for the offer, but I'm not a demon, " he said, beginning to shut his front door.
"Oh, but you are!" Incubus clutched the door before it could fully close. He set his foot in the doorway much to Maguro's chagrin. "Your face! It's beloved by so many girls and possibly even boys. Am I right?"
"Well, I mean, no girl can resist it and neither could Klug… "
"And there we have it! You're coming with me now, my distant cousin. You're probably four times removed, but we're bound to find one of your half-siblings in my throng of relatives!"
"Wait, what?"
And that led to the present. As Maguro stood on stage with Incubus praising him for "seducing" hundreds of girls to a crowd of demons in Puyo Hell, he felt increasingly uncomfortable. Being presented to a strange clan of strange entities had not been on his agenda especially with Ringo and Risukuma coming over to experiment with some chemicals in his bedroom. He fixed his bangs, making sure no demon could get a good look at his stunning eyes. The last thing he wanted was to be forced into a romantic situation with a bunch of older demons.
"...and that is why we will be accepting Maguro Sasaki to our clan right away. With him now on our side-!"
"Stop this right now!"
Incubus heaved a tired sigh. He glared over his shoulder as Succubus stormed up to him, snapping her whip at her side. Behind her were Ringo and Risukuma, each looking mildly interested in what was happening.
"Did you kidnap this human?" she barked, storming up to Incubus.
"Of course not! I didn't kidnap him!"
"He kinda did, " Maguro interjected.
"This doesn't involve you, cousin."
"I'm not your cousin! "
"He's definitely not part of our clan! Did you bring every single one of our clan members into this stupid shebang?" Succubus threw her hand out to the throng of demons exchanging wary glances, some convinced Maguro was part of them.
Incubus snorted, drawing his fingers through his hair. "As if you'd understand. You can't sense the level of love within him."
"Oh, yes, I can!" She pushed past Incubus, her lips curving into her cheek. She cracked her whip at her side and made Maguro yelp. "Let me test his-"
A hand clapped on her shoulder. Tense fingers dug into her bone and forced her to suppress a yelp. She jerked her head over her shoulder and found Ringo narrowing her eyes at her.
"Nope, no, no, no," she spat, quickly pivoting between them. "You're not hitting on Maguro. He's way too young for you."
"Thanks for the save, Ringo! " Maguro chirped only to grimace as Succubus snapped her whip again.
"Are you implying that I'm old? I'm nothing like Kikimora!" she snarled, earning the laughter of her clan.
"Well, that's not at all what I was saying, but it's pretty weird that you're flirting with a teenager." Ringo cracked her knuckles. "If you want, we can play Puyo to settle the score, and hey, Ris? Mind telling me what you're doing?"
Risukuma was currently jotting down notes on a tiny pad of paper. He looked up, holding a rather large pencil. "Not now, Ringo. I'm studying love."
"How's any of this studying love?"
"Love takes many forms. Clan love, weird demonic love, it's all very powerful."
"Ris, when we get out of here, I'm going to Puyo battle you into the sun, " Maguro said.
"Understandable."
"Enough!" Incubus barked, breaking between Ringo and Succubus. Huffing, he fixed his hair and felt a sheen of sweat dampen his brow. Glaring at Succubus, he whipped out his rose and aimed it at her nose. "Begone with you! I don't have time to deal with girls who dye their hair such a bright shade of pink!"
"Wh-what? How dare you say that to me! Pink looks nice on me, you jerk! At least I don't sweat enough to make my foundation run!" She smeared her finger on his cheek, wiping clean a line of murky foundation.
"Wh-why you-! I have to kill you! No one can see my true face!"
"Hey, Ringo, maybe we should vamoose? " Maguro whispered, and she sighed, guiding him by the shoulder to the portal she and Risukuma had arrived through as the demons started a wild Puyo battle for the entertainment of their cheering clan.
