Chapter Twenty - Coming Out (dedicated to Chibininjah)

"So.. Let me get this straight; you two are.. a thing?" Ashiya says weirdly, stacking cans or something in the cabinet.

"Yup." Maou shrugs simply.

"How does... Okay, explain this to me; how in the world did the King of Hell fall in love with... with Urushihara..?"

"You say that like I'm some sort of fucking low-life," I laugh angrily. "Just because I don't hound your beloved King like you and everyone else doesn't mean I'm unimportant, and just because your ranking is slightly higher than mine, doesn't mean you can treat me like a piece of shit. I'm fucking sick of it. You're not better than me, asshole."

"Okay, okay, calm down," Maou says both gently and sternly. "Both of you are really important to me and your fighting is going way too far. I don't know why you guys hate each other so much, but you need to chill out. For me, and for yourselves."

Everything is quiet, except for the birds chirping their heads off outside. How nice that dull-minded, careless life must be.
I look from the floor to the man at the cabinets, who is staring back at me.

We both nod, knowing that our differences will have to be put aside around him.
Only for him.

"Good."


(A/N): OKAY BUT THIS CHAPTER IS REALLY SHORT OMG I'M SORRY BUT I HAD AN IDEA FOR IT AND THEN I SAT DOWN TO WRITE AND THE IDEA WENT AWAY AND IT HASN'T COME BACK I'M SORRY
