Summary: I made a demon king my familiar but it's weird since I'm the one treated like a follower. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? Somehow I feel like there's another contract residing in our relationship. He's a demon and I'm an exorcist…
PERPLEXED CONTRACT
Let's Play Pretend
"We're engaged," he said nonchalantly. "Because of that mark,"
"That's bull…" I fainted.
It started with that confession…
I think I got hit by a metal pole, a metal pole filled with utter bullcrap. I don't recall anyone hitting me with a metal pole though. Wait, it was the green menace who told me I was engaged to him.
He said we were engaged because of that mark. My mother cursed me by marrying me to a bastard? Not just a bastard but a cute looking demon asshole, the cute demon asshole that stole my first kiss.
Did I define him as cute? Shit! My brain is contaminated because of the kiss and the mark. Shit just shit. My female fantasies are converting me to a girl!
Dream State
"Suzume-chan!" I heard someone call out my name. I turned around to see him, Amaimon? He was wearing the True Cross Academy uniform and it actually looked good on him.
"Amaimon? Why are you here? What do you want from me?" I asked and he cocked his head.
"We're engaged have you forgotten?"
"You're my bride…let's get married." He said boldly. My face was burning up. My face was so red it shamed the color of the tomato. "Do you promise to be faithful to me in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health…" I cut him off. "Yes I do…"
MY DREAM STATE SELF JUST SAID YES! WHAT BULLSHIT IS THIS?
I rather marry a striped hair asshole that looks like thug than marry the bastard!
Screw him!
"Amaimon?"
Wait there's more, SHIT!
"I don't have a ring with me Suzume-chan, so here's the sweetest ring I could give,"
That's the candies that are shaped like rings. Sweetest ring? Is that a pun!
"Eh…eto…"
What the hell am I saying! Is this is a shoujo manga? Those words are taboo!
"I love you, you're my sweetest sweet that I could ever have,"
THIS IS CLICHÉ! Sensei you contaminated my innocent mind!
"Amaimon…I l..o…"-
BULLSHIT! Dream State Self! Don't you dare say those taboo words. You'll get karma when I pummel you!
"You don't have to say anything. I love you and that's all that matters now,"
FUDGEOMFGWTH is this? My brain! My sanity!
"I love you…"
SHE SAID IT! I'll make sure she dies a painful death. Horrible damnation! Go to hell!
I'll make sure this never happens! Because this is just fucking NIGHTMARE!
Why the hell am I dreaming crappy stuffs like that, in my mind? I'm insane! My sanity left me, someone bring me to a mental asylum!
Anyways at the moment, my neck hurts and I don't know why! I'm lying on something soft and squishy. Am I on a bed? If I am, this bed is so nice I'll sleep on this bed forever. This would be my death bed and all my misery would be over. I spread my arms and hugged the pillow on this awesome bed.
"Stop making a spectacle of yourself, you look like an idiot."
"Where the hell did I hear that before?" I replied, sarcasm in my tone.
"Uhmmm…I think it was two days ago or three, I'm not sure." The voice deadpanned. That familiar voice…it's him, the green menace. I quickly opened my eyes. My eyes met a pair of bored emerald green orbs staring at me. I felt a pair of hands on my waist and I screamed. I was lying on Amaimon , that's why it smelled so sweet! This position is totally inappropriate. I blushed.
"What are you doing!"
"That 's my line," he said nonchalantly.
I ignored him to check my surroundings. There were sweets in the room, figurines of bunnies, mangas scattered on a table and a comfy bed couch which I'm occupying. I'm still in Sir Pheles's office. There is no Sir Pheles in this room! Where is he?
"Are you looking for anue?" I heard him say and I looked back at him. His face was so close!
"I need some space!" I exclaimed.
"Say's the person who actually made this position possible by fainting and pulling me towards her," he deadpanned. "You initiated this position you sly girl,"
"I didn't, you're lying!"
"You did actually, even ask anue but he's not here at the moment so ask him later," he said. I forcefully removed his hands off my waist.
"That is not necessary, I don't even want to ask Sir Pheles. He'll just deceive me and say utter bullcrap just like you did," I stated and he sighed.
"That's not necessary? Who are you going to ask to prove you that you did what you just did? The bunny figurine?,"
"I'm not dumb!" I exclaimed.
"If you're not dumb…you're mentally challenged," He deadpanned and I glared daggers at him which he ignored.
I got off him and the couch. I brushed off some bangs covering my blushing face. Yes, you heard me I was blushing the whole time. I felt a tingling sensation which pissed me off. Am I actually starting to like the guy.
"Hey you, you don't like the idea that you're engaged to me right?" he asked and I looked back at him, he was reading the damn shoujo manga that he was reading before. I'm actually not a fan of that type of manga. It was too girly and to cliché. I just saw a scene from a shoujo manga in my dream. Amaimon and I were the protagonist/lovers in the damn dream.
"Fuck yeah!"
"You know I don't mind you swearing and being rude and all but do you do that just to prove that you're a guy?" he asked while reading the contents of the book and I blinked. I averted my gaze away from him.
"I have my reasons so mind your own business and I've been doing that since I was ten years of age," In my vocabulary the F word and The B word doesn't exist during my childhood. I used damn it and damn when I was a kid.
"I see…Since you're good at pretending. Let's play pretend," he stated and I gaped.
"I beg your pardon?"
"Let's play pretend," he repeated.
"That's childish!" I exclaimed and he sighed. He closed the book shut and stared at me with piercing eyes.
"You're childish, you've been pretending almost your whole life. Hey, are you lesbian?" he asked.
"I'm not lesbian! I have a reason that's why I'm pretending and also I am not childish!" I retorted.
"Then kiss me to prove that you're not a lesbian because a simple answer like that won't please me," he said boldly and I gaped again. This guy does he have no shame! What the hell! Does he not have the word 'embarrassed' functioning within his body? He's too blunt and too bossy. He sat up and patted the seat beside him. I'm not his fucking sex slave!
"You're a fag,"
"You're a lesbian," he smiled and I twitched. That's son of a bitch! I'll pummel him!
I gulped and took a step forward. I stood before him and he smiled innocently. Why can't I just walk away and tell him to fuck off? I hate myself…
"Let's get this over with. Kiss me," I can't believe I said that!
"You initiate it, I'm not going to kiss you." He said and I blushed. I can't do that!
"I'm not good at kissing or initiating it,"
"You just close the distance between us and place your lips here," he said and pointed towards his lips. "It's not that hard but if you're an idiot I guess it is…" I cut him off by placing my hands on his shoulders.
He smirked. He was taunting me and its working! Shit, my will power! I was trembling and he looked up to me. He caressed my cheek which made me shriek. He chuckled and my eye twitched. He's fooling around.
"You actually fell for it! That was a good practice. Pretending is easy.." I cut him off by pressing my lips against his. I shut my eyes closed. The tingling sensation before, the sweetness of his lips…I like it and I hate myself for liking it. This is so wrong! I'm an exorcist and he's a demon. He's not just an average demon but the Earth King, one of the princes of Gehenna. I'm so screwed. I'm such a fool.
He's not responding to my kiss, is that a good thing? I opened my eyes to see the green orbs I saw prior gazing at me with mild surprise. So he didn't expect it? He was faking around? The 'kiss me' antics were just a joke? Oh yeah, I should've been used to this. I was a big joke after all. I pulled away from him and I forcefully smiled. I felt my eyes getting teary. Why am I making a big deal out of it. Being angsty and all would just make my life miserable. Sensei told me to be gay, he said gay means happy in the dictionary.
"Hey you, you're crying." I heard Amaimon say and I blinked. I felt tears pouring down on my cheeks.
"I…I'm not crying! Its tears of joy," I stated and he pulled my hands and placed it around his neck. He buried his face on my shoulder. "Why the hell are you crying?"
"I don't know…" I stammered. The closeness is too much for me to handle. I feel my face burning up because of this damn closeness. I kissed him already what does he want from me!
"I'm engaged to you for a reason…I can't be serious with you," he mumbled and I blinked.
"We have to pretend and figure out how to end this, you don't want to be stuck with me right?"
I removed my hands that were around his neck. WHAT WAS THAT FOR! He's so random! It pisses me off. I pulled away and cocked my head.
'I can't be serious with you?'
Did he just say that, was he implying that I was crying because I was getting serious about the kiss!
Does he know how to read minds? "Hey you can you read minds?" I asked him and gave him a skeptic look.
"What makes you think that I'm able to read minds?" he asked.
"Well…you see…it's complicated…" I stammered and he removed his head from my neck and looked down on me. He was taller than me by the way. My height only reached his damn shoulder.
"I can read what you're thinking because you're an open book." He replied and I pouted. I'm an open book he says!
"Why are you engaged to me anyways? Hey by any chance have you met my mom?" I asked
"I don't want to answer the first question but yes I have met you're mother before," he replied annoyance in his tone. He sat on the couch and grabbed the forgotten book that he was reading.
Why is he annoyed when I mentioned my mother? My mother was an admirable exorcist, she was a brave and strong-willed woman. I heard from sensei that my mom was beautiful…what is so bad about her. I'm being an idiot again, he's a demon and my mom is an exorcist so they can never get along. He hates mom because she exorcises his own kind. Off course that's the reason. What was I thinking?
"You make weird faces all the time," I heard him say.
"I was thinking," I retorted.
"You were talking to yourself and doing hand signals," he said and I blinked. I did what!
"Did you hear anything?" I asked.
"Not much, you started talking about your mother and all that crap," he said while turning the page of the book that he was reading.
"Hey, do you hate my mother?" I asked and he looked up to me.
"Yes, as a matter of fact I do hate your mother." He said and I glared.
"Tell me, why the hell would you save her daughter?" I asked.
"I don't have a choice that's why, if you want a reason, she cursed me." He said angrily.
"Stop it then!" I yelled and he stared at me with piercing eyes. He stood up and lifted my chin with his free hand.
"You want me stop it?" he chuckled. "Then have an agreement with me."
"What kind of agreement?" I asked slowly.
"Let's get over it over with, the contract engagement." He said. "But we have to pretend to love each other,"
"What…you say it like it's really easy to pretend loving each other!" I exclaimed and he smiled.
"It is easy, you've been pretending you're a guy!" he exclaimed. "I'm fascinated that no one noticed you're a girl."
"Stop making bullshit!"
"Stop making outbursts like that. You're proving that you're an actress." He smirked. Annoying prick! He never shuts his trap! But If I agree with him, the engagement will be broken. I don't have to deal with him! Maybe it's not a bad idea…It's worth a try. I just have to make sure I don't fall…for him. I'll kill myself! I swore to myself that I would not make that nightmare a reality because it's too gay and cliché! I hate clicheness! My life consists of agreements, contracts and deals? What is this!
"Alright…" I spoke softly and he smiled.
"Well then, let's make it official." He said and I cocked my head. 'Eh?' What now.
He stood up and leaned down to reach my blushing face. I'm burning up! Am I getting sick?
"Oi…what do you mean by official!" I was cut off by him when he closed the distance between us and kissed me. The kiss it wasn't like my first which was forced, the second which I forced myself to do…this kiss it was gentle. He pulled my hand and placed it around his neck. He pulled away but his face was still just inches away from me. "Suzume, return my kiss." He whispered softly and I blushed. My face was so red it shamed the color of the tomato. It was really burning up. All of this is so new to me! My heart is beating so fast. This guy is he trying to kill me? He's giving me a heart-attack!
"I'm making our agreement official and I can't do it alone, so kiss me back," He cupped my cheeks.
"B…u…t are you trying…to mole...mnnn," he cut me off again by pressing his lips against mine. This guy…does he have the habit to cut off sentences, he's just plain rude. Shit my knees are getting weak…Screw this! I deepened the kiss. I could feel him smirking. He removed his hands off my cheeks and placed it around my waist. My eyes widened due to shock and I opened my mouth, accidentally. Shit my habits! I always make outbursts and he's going to take advantage of it and he did. He licked my lips. Is he going to do that...? He didn't because he pulled away and pressed his lips on my forehead.
"You passed with flying colors" He smiled and my face went blank. It was a test? Oh right, it's the start of the pretending love affair. "You made weird expressions again, it was cute." Shit he just said I was cute. I glared and he just grinned sheepishly.
"So what now?" I mumbled and he blinked.
"Yes…that" he paused and I twitched. "I like you, let's go out." He said boldly. His face looked like he was damn proud. Shameless bastard!
"What was that pause for and also I've heard that line before!" I exclaimed.
"Off course you did, you read shoujo mangas right? I got that line from the manga I was reading just a while ago," he pointed out and I clenched my fists. He's such a jerk! I have to deal with him until the contract engagement is finished. Will I ever survive this torture?
"Screw you!"
"Amaimon are you finished with the…" I heard Sir Pheles say while entering the room.
"Anue you're back," he deadpanned and Sir Pheles blinked. He stared at us which made me blush.
"Oh Suzume-chan, I'm sorry for intruding please do continue." He smirked and left the room. I blinked. Please do continue? What do you mean continue?
"He means to continue making out," Amaimon whispered and my eyes widened. We're still in that position. I pushed him away from me and slumped on the couch. "He saw us!" I exclaimed and he shrugged.
"Yes he did. Now Anue knows, I don't have to explain." He stated and I groaned. "Are you embarrassed?" he asked and I gave him a look. 'WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU JERK?'
"No I'm not," I said sarcastically.
"I see that's good,"
"I was being sarcastic!"
"Oh…I thought you were being a bitch," he deadpanned and I gawked.
"It's impossible to love you!"
"That's good then, we don't have problems." He said.
"Damn right!" I shouted and he sat beside me. He pulled my head to lean on his shoulder.
"Whenever we're together you are to wear the female uniform of the school." He commanded. "I'm the only one who's allowed to see you wearing it," I stared at him dumbfounded. I was about to complain but he stared at me with menace in his eyes. I'll die!
"A…lright…" I stuttered and nodded. I actually said yes, shit.
Is this a nightmare? If it is, Sensei slap my head. I need to wake up!
I'm going to pretend loving him? What if…
To be continued…
