He was warm, so warm; warm and safe. But, that wasn't right, was it? Ever since his mother had married the squid, forcing them to move into his mansion under the sea, Sky hadn't slept well.
So, why did he feel like he had just had the best night of his life? In the most non-dirty, non-innuendo inducing way, of course.
He kept his eyes closed, trying to access the situation. Why did he feel so safe, so warm? By the large amount of heat radiating next to him, he was most likely sleeping next to someone, but who?
He didn't remember bedding someone, so it definitely wasn't that…. Unless he'd managed to get drunk, but that was impossible seeing as he'd never had even a sip of alcohol in his eighteen years of life.
He felt his hands clenched around fabric and his head tucked underneath something, lips barely an inch from the source of heat.
Deciding to get it over with, he slowly opened his eyes, blinking to clear any and all bleariness from his vision. Holding back a yawn, he jerked away from the heat source as chuckles vibrated from the chest he had been snuggled against.
Wide eyed, he ignored the heat rising to his cheeks as he took in just what- or rather who- he had been snuggling against, rather comfortingly might he add.
Deadlox was laying on his side, chin resting on his hand, hair messy and eyes half lidded as he watched Sky with amusement dancing in his bright red orbs.
"Hmm, you sure looked comfortable," Deadlox murmured sleepily, running a hand through his hair before sitting up, the silk sheet pooling a round his waist as he stretched, Sky fighting himself not to look at the bear chest in front of him.
"If I had known it was you I was sleeping next to, I sure as hell wouldn't have looked even remotely comfortable," Sky snapped back, looking away as Deadlox only raised an eyebrow.
The demon leaned against his headboard, deciding not to comment further on the situation as his eyes darkened slightly, Sky watching on curiously.
The demon sniffed the air delicately, Sky watching on, eyebrows scrunched in confusion as the demon king's eyes narrowed dangerously.
"You smell," Deadlox whispered, not turning to look at Sky as the younger male blushes furiously in embarrassment.
"I do not!" Sky protested, the maid from last night having showed him the bathroom the night before. Of course he'd taken a shower!
"Not like that, you smell of demoness…" Deadlox continued, trailing off as he eyed Sky out of the corner of his narrowed eyes.
Something clicked in Sky's mind as he recalled the demon maid from last night.
"Oooh, there was a demon maid last night-" Sky was cut off as Deadlox practically pounced on him, straddling his waist as he leaned his face towards Sky's own.
"You're mine," he whispered darkly, fangs flashing as Sky gulped, feeling razor sharp claws graze his bare sides.
Sky stuttered, trying to find the words to answer Deadlox. Face red, he but his lip, eyes defiant.
"I'm no ones," Sky murmured, glaring at Deadlox. The demon only let out a low growl, chest vibrating as Sky shrunk back.
"Who touched you? You reek of her, I can barely smell you," Deadlox said, bringing his face to Sky's neck, sniffing at the skin there with a frown, ignoring how Sky desperately tried to push the larger male off of him.
Pulling back, a frown still marring his face, Sky looking away as Deadlox's red eyes bore holes down at him.
"I don't like the smell, at all," Deadlox complained in a rough voice as Sky tried to squirm out from beneath him.
"F-fine! Jeez, I'll just take a showe- what are you doing?!" Sky yelped as Deadlox repeated his previous action, running his tongue along Sky's neck with a dark grin.
"As I said before, I don't like her smell on you, I much prefer you smelling like me," Deadlox said, voice muffled as he grazed his fangs against the sensitive skin on the human male's neck, watching as goose bumps spread across the skin there, the action eliciting a gasp from Sky.
"Hm, a shower will still be necessary," Deadlox murmured against Sky's neck, chuckling as Sky sputtered in response, finally managing to push the demon away from him.
Deadlox let himself be pushed off, allowing the momentum to push him off the bed. He landed with a thud on the ground, a demented grin on his face as dots danced around his vision.
"Deadlox? You okay?" Said demon caught his bearings in time to see Sky peering over the side of the bed, worry shining in his hazel orbs. Deadlox gave a shrug, not minding the slight sting as he stood.
"The bathroom's over there," Deadlox murmured, running a hand through his hair with a lazy smile.
Thanking him, Sky scurried over to the bathroom, quickly shutting and locking the door behind him as Deadlox watched on with a fond smile.
Said smile quickly turned sly as he realized Sky didn't have an extra change of clothes.
Laying back onto his bed, he crossed his arms behind his head, staring at the ceiling as he excitedly waited for Sky to leave the bathroom.
He wondered if humans were anything like demons. Especially when it came to finding mates.
For demons, you mated for the rest of your almost eternal life.
But, humans didn't live that long.
Humans weren't as durable as demons.
What would become of a demon and a human mating? If even said human would agree.
He pushed these thoughts out of his head. Sky would just be a quick rut, he wasn't special. It wasn't like Sky would ever even agree to being Deadlox's mate, so why even bother pondering over such a silly idea.
Deadlox did his best to ignore how his heart clenched painfully.
