It's All Fun and Games Till You Fall in Love
Chapter 2: First Capture
Mephisto had yet to find Rin, even with him going to his regular and cram classes. It had nearly been a full day, and the younger man was starting to feel like this was all just a big joke other than an actual deal. He sighed, leaving his final class of the day, waving goodbye to his fellow cram students, earning confused glances from everyone but Yukio, who was busy tending to some papers on his desk. Of course everyone was bound to notice his sudden change in attitude during class. He was much less outspoken, he hadn't fallen asleep once, and seemed more alert than ever.
He growled as he came to a realization. Maybe the stupid clown had come up with this deal to make him more active in class? He shook his head, deeming that plan to dull for the drama-loving old man. Ignoring his surroundings, he failed to notice the small white dog, following him all the way from the cram building, to where Rin was stalking off now. He counted from German, then waltzed up behind him, placing his hands on the younger man's shoulders.
Rin looked up, and blinked as the taller man leaned over, and kissed his forehead, "Didn't think you'd be this easy to catch, all I had to do is walk in plain sight and you came right to me," he stated, smirking widely. The boy was about to make a run for it, but found himself unable to budge as the man held onto him. His emerald green eyes flashed as he laughed, leaning down and picking him up bridal style as he started to walk.
"Aren't I a bit heavy for you, sir?" he asked, hoping the man would let him down if he mentioned it.
"If you want to be dropped from a hundred feet above ground, by all means just say the word and I'll drop you."
Rin blinked, looking down, eyes widening as he noticed how high up they suddenly were. "Why the hell are you doing this?" he snarled, glaring up at him.
Mephisto let out a sigh as he walked towards the building that his office was in. "Again you prove to be as dumb as you look. I thought it would be clear that I simply would like to win," he stated, as they neared a balcony. He stepped down on it, and carefully let him down. "As punishment for being captured, you will be staying the night with me."
Rin's face paled as he watched the other man enter the door that the balcony was linked up to. He had to what? His cheeks turned a pale sort of pink as he found himself almost blushing at the mere thought of spending the night in the same bed as the other, and what exactly could happen while in said bed.
After a minute of standing still, Mephisto came back outside and blinked seeing the dumbfounded expression on the younger man's face, and laughed. "Oh we won't be doing anything like that, I assure you!" he called out, putting a hand to his chest dramatically, "Unless, of course, you find yourself drawn to me in such a way?"
Rin scowled and crossed his arms, looking off to the side, unable to hide the blush that still lingered on his cheeks. The older man smirked, and gestured with his finger for him to follow. Reluctantly, he did so, letting his hands drop as he was greeted with an aroma of food of all sorts that was placed neatly and orderly on a table. "Eat whatever you'd like," he stated, walking to the table and sitting down at the head, waving his umbrella around the plate, making the food he wanted float onto it and place it's self down neatly.
This was too nice for Mephisto. Rin was expecting torture, anger, anything demon like, just not being fed. He sat down as far away from the other as he could, taking a pair of chop sticks and serving himself some sort of noodle looking dish. From his previous experience with the older man's cooking, he found himself reluctant to even put a single bite in his mouth. He watched as the other ate at the other end of the table, and deemed it alright, taking a bite and chewing.
He was shocked. It was actually good! He wasn't daring to ask what exactly it was, but whatever it may be, it tasted surprisingly sweet, and almost creamy. It wasn't long before the younger boy was on his thirds of the same dish, not noticing the green eyes peering at him from the other end of the table. Feeling full, he dropped his chop sticks, sighing as he felt suddenly tired. "I don't trust you...damn clown," he grumbled through his drowsiness. Mephisto smiled wide, and stood, walking over to him, and scooping him up, bringing him into a separate room off to the side. He walked over to the large, fluffy looking bed with pink sheets with white poke-a-dots all over them. He laid him down, covering him up and smirking as he tilted his head to the side.
"If you keep this up, he'll be yours in weeks."
Mephisto turned his head to see the green hamster that was his brother, sitting on a small table off in the corner of his room. "Mmm, yes. I love winning," he replied, rubbing his hands together.
"What are you going to do with him once you own him?"
The man thought for a moment, stroking his beard absentmindedly. "I'll figure something out... I haven't quiet decided yet."
"I say you let me fight him again... I'd love to smear his blood all over the walls," Amaimon stated, spinning in a circle, nearly falling off the desk.
Ignoring the comment, Mephisto turned to face him, placing a hand on his waist as he tilted his head to the side, "When are you going to show yourself, anyway?" he questioned, his normal smile no where to be seen. He almost seemed to look angry, a deep frown on his lips.
"When I feel necessary," the other responded, hopping down on the ground, leaving the demon alone with the sound asleep Rin.
Rin awoke to the smell of food once again. He blinked, sitting up and looking around the room. His nose scrunched up as he noticed the sheets, and rolled his eyes. He looked around the rather plain room, noticing that the only vibrant and out there thing in the room was the bed. It was a little hard for him to even really believe that this was Mephisto's room.
He got out of the bed, and walked over to the window, rubbing his cheek as he looked out at the sun beginning to rise. He casually pulled his phone out of his pocket, and checked the time, pressing ignore on the text messages from his brother, then put it away knowing he still had almost two hours till he had to head to his classes, and didn't want to deal with Yukio.
He stepped out of the room, seeing the table that held all the dinner food the night before, seeing a full table full of normal-looking breakfast. Mephisto was off to the side, signing papers at a desk, seeming to not notice the other in the room.
"Um... Thanks for dinner last night," he thanked, avoiding looking to the older man, who was now smiling, his hands folded in front of him as he peered at him.
"Well, I couldn't let you go hungry, now could I?" he asked in return, standing and stepping closer. "I had breakfast prepared for you as well. Eat all that you'd like."
Rin's ears twitched slightly as he looked over to the other, blinking in surprise at what he saw. His normally toothy smile was no where to be seen, but a almost kind smile was in it's placement. He nodded his head in his thanks, walking to the table and sitting down looking at all the food. "You sure you aren't just trying to make me fat?"
Mephisto let out a laugh and shook his head, the smile returning, "I suppose I could do that. But no, that is not my intention."
The answer seemed to convince Rin, because he was soon scooping food onto his plate, and eating it right away. The principal smiled, and turned his back to the other as he walked over to the door, taking his hat and placing it on his head, "I have some business to attend to. When you are finished just leave your plate and the food."
Before Rin could swallow to speak, he was out the door. He blinked, looking around, feeling odd at being in the man's room alone. He poked at his food with his chop sticks, biting his lower lip slightly. Maybe it wasn't all bad that Mephisto was trying to win him over. He didn't seem interested in sex, and he got free food. He took another bite of his food, then stood up, walking to the door and blinking as he saw a key on the counter, with a note. He raised a brow and picked up the note which read "The key to the room if you ever want to come willingly." He picked up the key and shrugged, pulling out his cram hall key and attaching it to the keyring that the room key was already on.
He recalled his brother telling him that the more keys he had the more access he had, and thought it would be fun to tease Yukio about him having a key that the other didn't have, or even make him think that it was very important. He snickered as he imagined the look on his brothers face as he told him the news, and slipped the keys in his pocket, smiling wide as he took a hold of the strap on his sword's bag.
He headed out the door, and glanced down the hall at Mr. Tsubaki, who was peering at him curiously. Rin flashed him a smile, and waved, earning a half wave in return as he rushed away. He blinked, and shrugged as he headed down the hall and left the building, heading to his cram classes. He walked into the classroom, avoiding his brothers gaze as he plopped into his seat next to Shiemi. "Morning Rin!" she squeaked, smiling at him.
"Mornin'" he replied smiling to her, downcasting his eyes as Yukio walked over to his table.
"Where were you last night?"
Rin opened his mouth, but his voice wasn't the one being heard.
"I sent him out on a mission."
Rin's head shot to the side, looking as Mephisto was walking in.
"You sent him?" Suguro hissed, nearly jumping out of his chair, causing the principal to smile wider.
"Indeed. Yukio, please come with me, I need to discuss something with you really quickly before you begin your class," He turned, gesturing to the door with his umbrella, and stepping out. Yukio sighed, not looking happy in the slightest as he headed out the door after the other.
"What exactly did you do, Rin?" Konekomaru asked, pushing up his glasses with his finger.
"Yes. What?" Suguro asked, sitting down in his chair, glaring at Rin.
"I can't exactly talk about it, the stupid clown swore me to secrecy," he replied, looking back at him. "What's your problem anyway?" he asked, raising a brow to Suguro, who simply rolled his eyes and looked away.
Rin shrugged, and turned around looking to Shiemi who was smiling, "I'm glad to hear that you are doing something so important, Rin," she stated, looking to her shoulder, "Right Nee?" Her familiar squeaked his 'yes' hopping up and down, smiling.
"Alright, time to pass out your papers..." Yukio stated, walking into the room once more.
The day was long, and no doubt tiring, ending with P.E. Rin sighed, loosening his tie, pausing and looking to the side, eyes narrowing at the white dog that was staring lazily at him. "Again?" he asked, bracing himself to run. After turning back to normal, he smirked, walking towards him. Rin shook his head, "Not today!" he yelled, dodging him and sprinting away, the older man laughing.
"You're learning!" he shouted back at him, not bothering to follow him as he shook his head, smiling wide. "Tomorrow then..." he said softly, looking off to the side at his brother, who was peering at him from behind the bushes, no longer a hamster.
"Going soft?" Amaimon asked, tilting his head to the side.
Chuckling, Mephisto shook his head, "If I let him go sometimes, he'll grow to trust me more... I'll have him in no time," he answered, putting his hands behind his back, turning and walking down the road.
