Faust
Or The Devil in Me
Brave is in for quite a shock, how dreadful of Faust to do such a thing. Poor boy, I bet The Granter of Wishes will enjoy breaking him.
I awaken to the sound of a rap on my door and the body heat of my Fiend.
"What are you doing?" I sigh.
"Admiring your masculine form, I haven't seen one this nice since the Godwin brothers made me give them immortality. I turned them into fiends." He laughs at the end of the sentence. "You know I am very smart."
"If you try to pull that kind of stunt on me I will make you regret it FIEND" I snarl.
He runs his hands up and down my chest. I grab him by the throat and slam him against the floor, stained a dark brown by some unimaginable fluids. He sighs and lets me bang his head up and down on the floor.
"Kiss me." He breathes.
I punch him, breaking his nose and bruising his face. He waits for me to get off and he smirks and walks back to his tub. I grab onto my clothes and pull them on. I smile as I realize that Brave is mine. I run down the stairs skipping the top on because it fell off. My feet barely touch the ground as I run past my driveway and into my car. The raven-haired fiend, Yu stares at me and points and in an incomprehensible language talks to the sword welding fiend, Primo. I drive off as I glance behind to see if they're still there, they are. I drive faster than allowed to reach the town center. I drive so fast that I tap the extended bumper of the mayor's car. He gets out and screams reaching for me as Aporia restrains him. I walk past and sneer, that serves only to enrage him further he screeches and starts wiggling out of the taller man's grip. I walk over to where Brave usually is. A small orange haired man sits next to me.
"Be careful 'round your Fiend, friend." He says.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I ask.
He grins and disappears. I notice two small blackbird wings from his back. He smells like a fiend too. Obviously an imp. I walk around and see two toned hair I follow it to a dead end. Brave stops short and looks at me. I believe that it did not work.
"D-Dragan?" he asks in a whisper.
"Yes." I reply.
He blinks and wraps his arms around me.
"Where have you been? I was worried about you!" The short man exclaims.
I feel a heavy breathing from behind me. I turn to see my Fiend with a smirk etched on his face.
"Are you happy now, Dr. Faust? I just want your happiness." I hear from everywhere.
He waves at Brave and the boy pales. He looks gorgeous today. He has bright green eyes filled with love and red hair with orange streaks; he is wearing a pair of brown shorts and a white shirt with a makeshift hood on top. In his hands are many jewels and expensive things. I kiss him and he just melts. Ignoring the confused people and the still screaming mayor I take what belongs to me. The mayor stops and blinks realizing what is happening. Aporia stops as well. Everyone in the village staring at me with open mouths and widened eyes. I smile at them and walk to my car still carrying Brave. I put the boy in the car and my Fiend in the trunk. He smirks as I push him in.
I drive back at absurd speeds. Jack is standing outside he waves to me and I grimace.
"Hey neighbor, who's this?" Jack asks with a childlike enjoyment.
"My fiancé, Brave Gretchen." I answer the fool.
"I didn't know that… when re you two getting married?"
"Tomorrow."
"Oh wow. Do you guys need clothes?"
"Actually yes. Make them."
"Okay!"
I rush into my house as usual in sweet anticipation. I rush upstairs with the dreamy eyed boy. I put him down on my bed and hear the breathing again.
"In seven years I will be expecting payment. Alright?" my Fiend murmurs in my ear.
I shrug him off.
The next morning Brave is still there and so is my Fiend. I wake him up and he reaches for my buttons again. I let him undo them. He fingers with them for a bit and starts running his fingers up and down my chest and stomach. He reaches for my belt and fumbles with it. I sigh and he tries harder to please me. What a simple creature. Next my Fiend unbuttons my pants and then unzips them and starts smirking again. He slides them down and starts to pull down my boxers.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" I yelp.
"Getting you undressed Dr. Faust." He says.
I kick him and he collapses on the ground. I finish getting dressed on my own. I walk over to Brave and he opens his eyes.
"Good morning love." He says with a dreamy voice.
I lean down and kiss him he whimpers a little.
"Let's go get the clothes for our wedding Brave."
He beams at that and stands up. He gives me a confused look when he sees my Fiend lying on the floor.
"Oh he's just a fiend he doesn't even have a name." I tell my love.
"But still …"
"Don't worry little one." I coo.
That seems to relax the boy. He smiles and skips down the stairs. I admire him for a while more. His smile is enchanting, his hips hypnotizing.
"Ah I see you are pleased. But please Dr. Faust, remember what you promised." My Fiend says.
"Let me measure you." Jack says interrupting whatever my Fiend was saying.
I follow the two into Jack's horrifically unclean house. I walk carefully up the rickety steps and into his work room. I watch him wipe the white substance of the door handle and led us in. He begins to measure Brave and I feel a tinge of paranoia. But it is quickly interrupted by two long fingered hands making their way around my waist.
"I love you." He says.
I turn around and see my Fiend holding himself in a strange way. He wraps his hands around my neck and starts to kiss up my neckline. I snarl quite clearly and he backs off. I watch his lips curl into a smirk and he swings his hips. He smirks at Jack and Brave and they squirm. Jack runs off and comes back with a large white dress what seems like merely seconds later. I look at the dress and see that it has a red trim of roses and a veil. The veil is made of what appears to be spider webs. He'll look awfully cute dressed up like that. For me he brings out a black suit with a green shirt and a silver tie. He smiles like a child and hands them to me. Brave refuses to try his dress on.
"A bride must never show his husband his wedding dress before the day." Brave says.
"What harm could it do darling?" I ask.
He reluctantly puts the dress on. Jack claps and twirls him around. Yu looks at this scene and ushers my Fiend away. The two of them head off to a dark back room. I wonder what fiends talk about? Perhaps what dogs talk about. I admire my bride.
I talk Brave back home after thanking Jack.
"He can we see the race before the wedding?" He asks.
"Of course." I answer.
We pack our clothes in the trunk and prepare to see the race. A muscular figure with a horn sticking out from his head runs past with a smile. He waves to my Fiend that had to come along. He passes the baton to a blonde fellow with some noticeable stubble and shoves him to get him on his way. I see that fiends are used for literally everything. Next to us Aporia is holding a feminine blonde man with spiky hair above the crowd so he can see better. My Fiend waves to him too. And on our other side a pair of green-haired twins, one with pigtails and the other with a ponytail sitting with a regal looking red head with green eyes that looked like they could see past the crowd. Behind us, the mechanic twins and Primo. Ah I see that my Fiend has gotten acquainted with all the other fiends. Jack is sitting with Yu and the strange winged fiend is smiling at me just above us. The mayor and his fiend are sitting far off to our right in their very own box. I feel all their eyes on me. What has my Fiend been telling them? Grey eyes that chill, red eyes that burn, green eyes that glower, eyes I can not see seeing me, blue eyes boring into me and yellow eyes prying into places where one must never look. A figure walks up to us. It's the racer fiend.
"Hey you do know why they're looking at you don't ya?" He asks leaning in such a way that the entire crowd can see his horn.
"No, why?" I ask in return.
"Because you're gonna do something really stupid." He whispers and then laughs.
A baton whizzes past and gets grabbed effortlessly by the fiend. He waves goodbye and continues racing down the track. I stare at him and he stares back. He winks and blows me a kiss. When the race is over I lead Brave to the church. I see my Fiend standing just outside the gates.
"Oh that's right you can't come in can you?" I tease.
"I can if I am invited." He threatens.
I laugh and walk my bride down the aisle. I ignore the priest's ramblings. The priest here is awfully strange. He has a helmet covering half his face and is wearing female robes. He has metal gloves on his hands and the other half of his face is the spitting image of Yu's. As he continues to ramble on I see the orange-haired imp learning against the gate bantering with my Fiend. As the priest stops I grab Brave and give him a deep kiss. He giggles and playfully slaps me. I carry him and walk him to my car motioning for my Fiend to come he raises one eyebrow and comes regardless. I drive back to my house ignoring Jack trying to start a conversation I open the door with my foot and carry Brave inside. I slam him against the bed and begin to remove the dress.
"Make me yours." He whimpers.
I stumble with the zipper and we begin to join in ways that I had only imagined.
Oh Faust, did you forget about a thing that they call consequence. Seven years, that's what you get. You'll have to pay the piper. Faust spends seven years in intoxicated delirium with Brave. Tomorrow let me tell you how he made the rules change, how he changed everything.
