"Mao..."
"Mao!"
"Lord Mao!"
The Dean slowly opened his eyes, red skies greeted his tired eyes "W-what's going on!"
"I don't know!" Almaz shouted, standing as he drew his sword
Mao stumbled to his feet, drawing his own sword. The deep, soulless eyes of an army of greater demons enlarged as they approached the two demons "Almaz, watch your back!" The Dean cried out
Almaz nodded, as the two began rapidly attacking the demons, for every hit they took, they'd counter it twice
"M-Mao!" Almaz shouted, running to the Dean who suffered a strong hit to the shoulder. Stumbling, Mao struggled to his feet
"I'm fine Almaz."
"Be careful Mao..." Almaz whispered, attacking another demon
"Not bad, Almaz."
"Gh, what the, who's there!" Almaz screamed, his hands shaking. His eyes widened as a familiar demon stepped into their sights
"You're slipping though, Dad." Makora cackled, taking the sword of the injured Dean "You've taught me never to mingle with weak demons. Yet you've become weak yourself. You deserve a punishment."
"P-punishment?" Mao stuttered, stumbling slightly on a loss of balance
"You're punishment is your death, dad!" Makora shouted, lunging her sword towards the Dean.
Mao flinched, yet felt no pain, His eyes opened, widening in shock and horror "L-Lord Mao, are you... okay?" Almaz grunted, the sword pierced straight through his chest
"N-no, Almaz no!" Mao cried, not able to hold back tears as they fell from his eyes
"I'm, sorry, Lord Mao..." Almaz sighed, Makora's eyes widened
"You damned idiot! You got in my way!"
Almaz laughed, straining himself in an overly noticeable way "I guess, I did..."
Makora removed the sword, as Almaz fell to his knees, grasping at his chest as he gasped for air. Mao fell behind him "Almaz! W-why would you?"
Almaz smiled "G-glad... you're okay..."
The young Hero fell limp, a sharp pain ran through him as he fell to the ground. Mao sat by his motionless spouse, tears falling from his eyes
"Mao!"
"Hngh?" Mao squeaked, trying desperately to stop the tears from falling down his eyes
"Mao!"
"Dammit Mao!"
-
Mao shot up, blue skies above, plush green grass below, and the demon Hero looking petrified "Mao! Thank God you woke up!"
"H-hm?" Mao stuttered, looking at the Hero as he shook. Mao lunged forward, pulling the Hero into a tight embrace "Y-You're alive!"
"What?" Almaz asked, returning the hug "Is that why you were acting like that?"
"Like what?" Mao shook
"You were incredibly restless, moving constantly, mumbling nervously, and you had started crying. I panicked and woke you up."
Mao looked at Almaz angrily "I don't cry!"
He quickly rubbed at his cheeks, soaked with tears "Mao, what were you dreaming about?"
"Nothing!" Mao snapped, his grip on the Hero tightened as he desperately nuzzled into the Hero's chest
Almaz sighed, "Maybe you've had a little too much fresh air, come on, let's go inside." Almaz sighed, standing up as he extended a hand down to the Dean, who took it gratefully
Mao couldn't understand Almaz's logic, finally catching his breath, he managed to stutter as he shuffled closer to the Hero "Y-yeah, sure. ...Almaz?"
"Yeah?" Almaz replied, gently grabbing the Dean's hand
"Don't you dare go off and die on me!" Mao growled "That's an order!"
"Yes Sir." Almaz smiled
"Fake Hero, when was your last examination?"
"I can't remember, before Mako..." Almaz muttered, Mao instantly pinned him to the wall of the school "M-Mao! Stop it! Enough with your constant curiousity!"
Mao ignored the distraught Hero "Stop moving Almaz!"
Almaz further struggled, as Mao managed to remove his green coat, and in turn, the black shirt. He went for the wings, the contact making Almaz instantly relax
"Your wings have stopped growing, meaning the immortality experiment worked. Remember, you're not literally immortal, you just no longer age."
Almaz shuddered "M-Mao, what are you... g-gah!" Almaz yelped, leaping from Mao who was attempting to examine his tail
"Almaz! Hold still!" Mao shouted, lunging for Almaz who quickly jumped out of the way, and allowed Mao to crash painfully into the ground "Fake Hero! You dare to disobey me!"
"Mao, please listen to me! I don't want these examinations to be so extreme, especially not in public!"
The Dean stood up, his face reddened in a dangerous mix of embarrassment and anger. Grabbing the Hero, he began walking off towards his room
"Mao! My outfit!" Almaz whined, pulling against the young Dean, before finally breaking free and grabbing the shirt and coat
Mao growled ngrily, fiercly grabbing the Hero's arm before storming into the school
Students snickered as the two passed through the school "Have you heard? Apparently their relationship went stale..." one demon whispered
Another replied quietly "Yeah, I bet such meaningless contact like the Fake Hero is getting now, is all he'll get for months..."
Mao muttered something angrily, stopping dead, turning to face the Hero. Almaz shivered fearfully as the two hateful eyes of the Dean stared daggers into him. Almaz opened his mouth to question the Dean, interrupted by Mao smashing their lips together harshly, completely relaxing once he had.
"Mmmm, Mao?" Almaz hummed, anintense shade of red tinted his face, as Mao turned back, grabbing the Hero's arm once more
"Shut up Almaz." Mao growled, storming off towards his room, as Almaz struggled, pulling Mao back towards him before pressing the two together once more, making the Dean shuffle uncomfortably
"Mao, I heard it too." Almaz sighed, nuzzling preciously into the Dean, who blushed in embarrassment, comfort, and disgust
Mao dragged the Hero off successfully as he walked nervously into his room "What was that, Fake Hero?"
"I don't want to hear that either Mao." Almaz replied, an much to Mao's horror, tossed a bloody sword carelessly into the small closet Mao built
"What was..."
"You were still asleep, a few low level demons, nothing more." Almaz smiled, finally putting his shirt and coat bck on "Didn't even get scratched."
"Next time, wake me up Almaz." Mao blushed, averting his gaze from the other "I command it..."
"Okay, Lord Mao, I promise." Almaz smiled, pulling the Dean close as he squirmed, facing the Hero as a devious smirk appeared across his face "Mao?"
Mao placed a hand over his mouth, as he laughed to himself, his glasses began to fog as drool fell rolled down his face, turning the Hero around he grabbed the others tail "Your tail has stopped growing too, Fake Hero." Mao chuckled, his breathing had become unsteady as he laughed, enjoying himself far too much
"M-Mao! What do you think you're doing!" Almaz yelped, trying to nudge away from the excited Dean
"Hold still Almaz!" Mao grunted, before finally releasing the tormented Hero who backed away fearfully, hugging himself as he curled up in the corner "Don't be such a damn girl Almaz! It wasn't that bad!"
"I feel... so violated Mao..." Almaz whispered, as Mao walked up to him, pulling Almaz close to him
"Damn it Almaz, was it really that bad?" Mao asked
Almaz whimpered, trying to nudge away from the Dean, who sighed
"Almaz, next time, tell me when I've gone too far."
Almaz nodded nervously, nuzzling into the Dean as he shuffled closer
"Dad, what are you doing?"
"Oh, hi Makora." Mao hummed, as the Hero cuddled closer to him
"What's going on?" Makora asked, holding her breath
"Almaz was a girl over my most recent examination." Mao growled, tightening his grip on Almaz, who whined nervously
"Mao? I'm sorry Mao." Almaz whispered, looking nervously at the Dean, who laughed at the Hero's discomfort
"Almaz, even for a past human you're still mentally weak as hell." Makora growled, sitting beside the two "By the way, Dad, I'm heading out later."
"With who?" Mao grunted
"Just some other students, I'll make sure to trash the place." Makora cackled
"Go ahead then, have fun Makora." Mao smirked, seeing the nervously shifting Hero beneath him
"Nnn, Mao? Are you sure it's a good idea?" Almaz asked, comfortably rested against the Dean's chest
"She's a demon Almaz, she needs freedom, don't worry, I know when to stop her."
Almaz smiled, as Makora leaped up and ran from the room, leaving the two alone "Nnn, Maoooo?" Almaz hummed happily
"What now Almaz?" Mao growled in return
Almaz smiled deviously "What do you want to do?"
Mao blushed deeply as he looked at the Hero. That tone of voice the Hero was using gave away his intentions, Mao just stuttered as Almaz sat up, looking at the Dean
"Well, Mao?" Almaz snickered, leaning closer to the Dean
"Almaz, what in the hell do you think you're doi-"
Mao was muffled by a passionate kiss, he quickly gave in and returned the gesture
"Damn you two, I come back in for my sword and I see this?" Makora growled, making the Hero yelp and instantly back away from the Dean
"M-Makora! I thought you were going to some thing with the other students?" Mao squeaked, blushing deeply
"I wanted my sword, just in case." Makora snickered "But got the photo of a lifetime as well."
"Makora!" Almaz cried, his entire face reddened "K-knock before entering a room!"
"Eh, that's for delinquents." Makora smirked, grabbing the sword from off the floor "I'll be back later, bye."
The two waited for her to leave, before Almaz smiled once again "What do you want to do?"
"T-the question's yours... Fake Hero." Mao stuttered, nervously standing up, sitting on the bed
Almaz looked at Mao with a smug smile, before cuddling against the Dean "Hmm? Well, you know what I'm thinking."
"G-gh! Almaz?" Mao groaned, looking towards the door "Only if you close the door first."
Almaz nodded, walking towards the door before closing it gently
"Well, Mao? Anything else?" Almaz asked, Mao shook his head
"N-nope, not really."
Almaz laughed, walking back up to the Dean as he wrapped his arms around him preciously "Nnnn, then, what are we waiting for? Maybe we can finally go undisturbed."
Mao snickered, as the Hero tried so hard to convince him, smiling he looked at him "Well, let's consider it an experiment."
"Of course, Lord Mao." Almaz chuckled
