“Gyaahahaha!!! This is sooo exciting!!” Yuto screamed out loud when the roller coaster jumped off the edge while Ryosuke shut closed his eyes tight, scared to death. How is this happening at first place? He was peacefully sleeping on his bed on this peacefully Sunday morning when Yuto forcefully woke him up.
“Ne, ne, let’s go to the amusement park!!Hayaku! Hayaku!!” said Yuto excitedly. Ryosuke sighed. No doubt, Yuto must have known this place from the TV and it piqued his interest to explore. Seriously, he can’t believe that this demon can be so childish. This is not the first time though. Previously, Yuto asked him to bring him to the Aquarium and because of his selfish demands, he had to used up all his saving money from his part time job. Ryosuke buried his face into the pillow, so lazy to wake up. But if he thinks this from the bright side, this is just like another date. Ryosuke’scheeks were blushing at once. He sat up immediately made Yuto surprised with the sudden movement.
“Ikou, Yuto!”
Ryosuke open up his eyes. Yuto’s bright smile on his face was the last thing he saw in his dream before he woke up and it hurts so much that he can’t see that smile again. He pulls up his blanket and covers his face as his tears are starting to flow for God know how many times.
[I shouldn’t have said that I will give my soul to you]
“I wished I never said that. Gomen, Yuto…gomen. Please…come back” he cries helplessly but no matter how many times he begs the same thing, Yuto never show up in front of him anymore. It has been six months since Yuto disappeared and Ryosuke has been suffering since then. He never thought that losing that demon from his side can make him suffocates in deep loneliness. He can see Yuto’s presence in every inch of his room. Yuto’s noisiness, touching and breaking his belongings as he like which once he thought so annoying are the things the he misses so much right now. He never thought that his small and cramped room can be this big and empty when Yuto is not around.
He seldom goes to school but went to multiple part time jobs instead and works himself out until he too tired to think of anything else. His saved a lot of money from his job but there is no point of it since he can’t use it to bring Yuto to various places anymore. So he is wasting his money into something else. He went to the club and drinks a lot every night, bought himself expensive clothes and suits to make his appearance look like an adult, find some hostess and sleep with them throughout the night.
He went to school if he felt like it but he never intends to study. He only mixed around with bad guys and then he started smoking, bullying and fighting. Screwing around with girl students and sometime he let guys screwed him although he despise that the most and it’s painful because every single touch from another guy reminds him of Yuto’s touches, his forceful kisses and somehow he longs for it instead of hate it. Day by day, he ruined himself hoping that Yuto will come back to him to claim for his tainted soul. That is the only reason he can think of for that demon to return, for him to see Yuto again even for a short time before he let Yuto eat his soul and disappear from this world. However, does Yuto will ever come back for his soul after he said such thing? Does he still even want his soul? Didn’t he already lost his desire for his soul the moment he gone? Same questions keep repeating inside his mind but he denied every single of it because that is the only hope left.
“Aahh…I should go to school” Ryosuke sighs while lazily getting up from his bed. Thinking of the new transfer student who is currently his bully target makes his hands itchy. He is a beautiful guy and weak, he can see himself in that guy and it’s irritates him.
~~♣~~
“P-please…give me back my glasses” a guy in drenched clothes, sitting on the toilet floor pleaded. Inoo Kei, a transfer student who enrolled in this school a month ago and in a few days he already became Ryosuke’s bully victim.
“Dame dayo~ I don’t want to wet your glasses, it’s troublesome deshou?” Ryosuke who is pointing the hose with running water on top of Kei’s head only smirking. He can see clearly the bruise on Kei’s face from his beating yesterday and it’s still red. Pity? That word had long gone from his vocabulary. He enjoys doing this. He feels like all weight on his shoulders lightened every time he abuse this guy and it became addiction like a drug that can soothe his shattered heart.
“Today’s homework, make sure you do it for me. I really can’t stand teacher’s nagging, I’m so tired of it” Ryosuke throws the hose beside Kei then he wipes his glasses before he placed it on Kei’s face carefully. “Jya ne, Kei-chan~” he said playfully before he walks out from the toilet. Kei hugs his knees onto him chest and starting to cry. He is too scared of Ryosuke to even defense himself. Ryosuke not only bully him inside but also outside of the school. He can’t escape from his grasp. He can’t even tell the teacher about the bullying because of Ryosuke’s threat. When he imagined the worst things could happened on him if he tell teacher about this, he can’t even breathe.
Takaki saw Ryosuke is walking out from the toilet. He took a glimpse inside the toilet and he saw Kei on the floor. Takaki sighs heavily. Ryosuke changed so much over the past three months and he doesn’t know the cause of it.
“Yamada-kun” he called and Ryosuke turn towards him.
“Ah, it’s Bakaki-sensei” Ryosuke answered, nonchalantly. Before, Takaki can still smile when he being called like that by Ryosuke because he knows that he was only joking but now it irritates him because he actually mean it. He was being called “baka” plenty of time from this brat every time he tried to stop all his wrong doings. He is not listening to any single of his advices. Takaki can’t even recognize this person anymore. Ryosuke now is even worse than Ryosuke that he helped before. However, he never gives up on him. Ryosuke is his precious student and he cares about him a lot. He doesn’t want his students taking a wrong path and ruining their future.
“Please stop doing all these things. Your grades are getting worse. Think about your future” said Takaki even though he knew that Ryosuke will give him the same answer, the answer that he can never understand what it’s mean.
“Baa~ka, I don’t have any future. Oh, wait. I did have one, to give my broken soul to someone but because of your unnecessary help, I lost myself and I tried to run away from that future made that someone angry and lost his interest in my soul. So sensei…the one who ruined my one and only future is you” Ryosuke is pointing his finger at Takaki. This is the fact that he only came to realized when Yuto is no longer by his side.
“What are you saying? Please for once, tell me the real reason why are you acting like this?” Takaki snapped. He is tired hearing the same thing over and over again.
“Getting involved with you is a mistake. Stay away from me, Bakaki-sensei” he said before he steps away, leaving Takaki in disappointment.
~~♣~~
In the middle of the night, when the moon is full and silent is the only sound that can be hear, Ryosuke is sitting on the fence of the bridge, the place where he met Yuto for the first time, waiting like the other night before and before and before but his waiting has never come to an end as Yuto never appear in front of him, never answer when he called for his name and like the rest of the nights before, he end up crying until no more tear left to shed. From far, a bat is resting on the top of the bridge watching Ryosuke quietly. Yuri knows what happened between that poor human and his master and he feels bad for him but what worries him more is his master. Yuri sighs before flapping his wings and vanished into the thin air.
"l've come to you, My Lord" back in hell, Yuri kneels upon his master after he transformed from bat into his demon form.
"Yuri, where have you been? You've been disappearing a lot lately" asked Yuto.
"Pardon me, My Lord" Yuri dare not to tell his master that he has been visiting human world to watch over Ryosuke. He once told Yuto to meet Ryosuke but he was burned by his master flame and it took a while for him to heal himself. His master has warned him not to speak of that name ever again.
"Never mind. More importantly, it's time to collect my soul. I'm starving" Yuto grins, showing his sharp fangs.
"Yes, My Lord" Yuri answered with a painful look. He had lost count of how many souls has been devoured by his master and The King is upset. For making the The King of Hell upset, it is the most terrible thing.
'I'm sorry, My Lord but this has to stop' Yuri determined even if it's mean that he has to disobey his master's absolute order.
..........
Ryosuke open up a wallet that he forcefully took from Kei after he punched him on his stomach. He takes out all the money before he throws the wallet back to Kei. "Ne~ doesn't it seem that your money is getting lesser and lesser?" Ryosuke said while counting the the money.
"I-It's all I have, really" Kei is crouching on the ground while holding his painful stomach. A sudden kick on the wall right beside his left ear make him freeze and he can't even move a muscle.
"It's not good to lie, Kei-chan. You're a rich bastard deshou? You live here by yourself but your father will send you money every month. I can't satisfy women with this much can I?" Taking money from Kei is like his extra income beside his part time jobs to support his "night life".
"I'm sorry, p-please forgive m-" he can't finish his words as Ryosuke already grabbed his jaw.
"Don't you dare lie to me ever again. Wakatta?" Ryosuke threatened. His fierce eyes make Kei nodding his head repeatedly.
"That's a good boy" Ryosuke releases his jaw and pats his head.
"Yamada-kun!" Takaki-sensei shouted from behind.
"Tch, a troublesome sensei has appeared so I better go. Bye bye, Kei-chan~" Ryosuke walks toward Takaki, bump into his shoulder purposely and stepping away without saying anything. Takaki sighs and helps Kei to stands on his feet.
"Inoo-kun, please let me help you" Takaki put his hand on Kei's shoulder. Takaki is the only teacher who knows about Kei's situation but no matter how many times he tried to help him, he always rejected his help.
"No, sensei. That guy, he warned me to stay away from you. If I let you help me, things will only get worst. So please, don't worry about me sensei" Kei pushes away Takaki's hand. Takaki just watch Kei's back is getting smaller and then he let out a heavy sigh while looking up at the cloudy sky.
............
The night is becoming late and Ryosuke is fixing his hair in front of the mirror, getting ready to go out when he heard a noise outside the window. Wondering what was the noise, he nervously slides open his window. "Woah!!" Ryosuke fall on his butt when a black bat suddenly flies inside his room through the window.
"Yamada Ryosuke" the bat spoke as it flapping its wings before Ryosuke's face.
"Eh? Eh?" Ryosuke blinks his eyes for couple times, disbelieved of what he saw. A bat can actually talk? But he almost fainted when the bat transformed into a beautiful guy.
"Y-y-you! Who-what are you?" Ryosuke asked with a breaking voice.
"I'm a demon" answered Yuri and then only Ryosuke realized the he has a same tail as Yuto's. Ryosuke gasped as he suddenly become hard to breathe. Yuto is the first thing that came into his mind.
"Yuto, where is he? Where is he? Where did he go all this time?" he asked impatiently.
"He went back to Hell."
"What? Jya...he never comes back? Not even once?"
"He still visit human world, plenty times if I must say."
Ryosuke fall on his knees, dumbfounded. Yuto still visiting human world but he never comes to see him. Does he really hate him that much?
"Why? Why he never show up in front of me even though I called for him thousand times" Ryosuke sound so hurt and his tears are threatening to fall.
"You see human, a demon can appear before you if he chose to but if human want to summon a demon, there must be a ritual" said Yuri.
"A ritual?"
"Yes and I will teach you how to do the ritual and what are the things that you need to prepare in order to perform the ritual."
"Really? You really gonna teach me? But...why do you want to help me?" Ryosuke find it's weird a demon that he never met before is trying to help him.
"My master, he has gone mad. He has been seducing humans to make deal with him and claim their souls when their wishes came true. You can't even imagine how many souls he has taken over the past six months. However, he still can't satisfy his hunger."
"If he can takes other human souls that easy, then what do you need me for? He doesn't want my soul anymore" there is disappointment and a bit jealousy in Ryosuke's voice.
"Don't you know? You are the reason why my master became this way" Yuri sighs looking at Ryosuke's face who looks stunned with his words. "But what more important, The King is upset with his behaviour. My master has taken lot of souls that supposed to belong into Hell. You see, bad, evil humans and humans who commit suicide their souls will go straight into Hell when they die but if human make a deal with demon, their soul is belong to that demon to be eaten. My master took advantage of those human's desires. Do all evil things for them, seducing people who wants to take their own life, fulfilled their deals and take their souls all for himself. You know, there is a rule for demon to make a deal with human."
"What it is?" Ryosuke is curious, he never thought there is also a rule in demon's world.
"We could only make a deal to human who summoned us and asked for it. But my master breaks the rule. He shows himself upon human and offers them a deal. He also offered you a deal when you first met him right? At first, The King just let him loose because he is his son but master has gone beyond control and The King is angry. If he takes one more soul by breaking the rule, The King will chain him up and lock him into the deepest hell's pit. He won't be able to go to human world forever. I don't want that to happen to my master" Yuri kneels down in front of Ryosuke and lowers down his head.
"Your soul is the only soul that he need. Dakara, please...save my master."
~~♣~~
After a week, Ryosuke finally gathered all the ingredients needed to perform the ritual. It was really hard to find those ingredients as it's consist of rare item such as black cat's bone, dirt from dead man's grave and mix of herbs that really hard to find. But with Yuri's help, he managed to get all the items and tonight he will perform the summoning ritual. To be honest, he is really terrified to do this ritual but he misses Yuto so much and he wants to see him again. For that sake, he will do anything.
The night has come and Ryosuke is preparing for the ritual. He lit the several candles atop of pentagram symbol and the middle of it, there is a bowl contained of the mix ingredients. After he lit the last candle, he takes out a knife and places it on his palm. He takes a deep breath before he cut his palm.
"Et ad congregandum...eos coram me" he recites the ritual incantation as he drops his blood into the bowl. Lastly, he lit a matchstick and throws it into the bowl. The bowl explodes a flame, burning all the ingredients inside the bowl at once. Ryosuke tries to find Yuto's figure behind the smoke but he doesn't see anyone. The ritual, does it failed?
"Ryosuke?"
Ryosuke's heart almost falls when he heard the voice that he misses so much. He turns around and Yuto is standing right in front his eyes. "Yuto!" Ryosuke pounces on Yuto and hugs him tightly. Yuto is trembling all over his body when Ryosuke in his arms. His hand clenches on Ryosuke's back and his other hand on the back of his head, running through his fingers into Ryosuke's hair and buried his lips on his neck. He misses him too, a lot but what makes his body trembles is Ryosuke's soul, it's driving him crazy. He can sense the difference, his soul has become this beautiful, desirable and...delicious.
"Why did you summon me?" Yuto breaks the hug even though he doesn't really want to.
"Gomen...gomen, Yuto. I didn't mean what I said before. So please, don't leave me again."
"Aren't you happy that I'm gone?"
"No! I can't stand the loneliness when you're not by my side!" Ryosuke grabbed Yuto's arms firmly. Yuto's heart aches. He also feels the same way but he can't do this.
"You're such a foolish human. I'm not going to follow you around anymore. I've already lost interest in your soul."
"And you're such a foolish demon. Do you think you can lie to me? I know you desire my soul more than ever", Ryosuke steps toward Yuto closely and reaches for his cheek. "I can see it in your demon eyes, you yearn for it." Yuto swallowed his saliva. He didn't expect that Ryosuke can see right through him.
"Yuto...I want to make a deal with you."
"What? No!" Yuto pushes Ryosuke away, his sudden request surprised him but Ryosuke grabs back his hand.
“Please, Yuto! Make a deal with me and my soul will be yours!”
“Why are you doing this? How can you simply offering your soul to a demon?” Yuto shouted.
“Because I love you and I want to be with you forever!” Ryosuke confessed and his tears are flowing. Yuto stunned. He is completely shocked with Ryosuke’s confession.
“D-demon and human are not meant to be together” Yuto tried to speak even though his mouth can barely utter a word.
“That’s why I want you to have my soul” Ryosuke buried his face on Yuto’s chest. “At least, I can be part of you forever.”
“I...I can’t” said Yuto, slowly. Ryosuke’s shoulders are shaking rapidly from crying out loud. It hurt so much that Yuto keep rejecting him.
“Why, Yuto? Why? You want my soul but why you don’t want to take it?” said Ryosuke between his cries.
“Yes, I want it. I want to devour it right here, right now, I want it so badly! But If I take your soul, you will disappear forever. I won’t be ever to see you, to touch you...” slowly Ryosuke feels Yuto’s arms across his back, returning his hug as he continues to speak -
“...and I love you too much that I can’t bring myself to hurt you” Yuto’s tears are falling on his cheeks as he tightened his arms around Ryosuke.
“Y-Yuto...Yuto...Yuto” Ryosuke cries into his heart content inside the demon’s embrace. Yuto loves him too, that alone brings him unimaginable happiness. This love is completely wrong and forbidden, he doesn’t care any of it but he can’t ignore what Yuri told him. If Yuto didn’t take his soul which the only soul that can satisfy his hunger, he will continue taking other soul by breaking the rule and if that happened, Yuto won’t be able to come into human world forever. To be separated from him, it’s as good as dead.
“I won’t change my mind. I still want to make a deal with you” Ryosuke determined.
“I can’t and I won’t change my mind either!” Yuto replied strictly.
“Fine! Then let see if you still won’t change your mind if I do this” Ryosuke takes out the knife and aim it on his own throat.
“Ryosuke! What are you doing? Put down the knife!” Yuto panicked.
“If you don’t want to make a deal with me, I’ll kill myself and my soul will go straight to hell” he threatened. Yuto’s lips are trembling. For his precious, beautiful soul to belong into hell, to be tortured, tormented endlessly, he can’t let that happen! He won’t give Ryosuke’s soul to anyone else, not even to The King of Hell.
“I understand...” said Yuto, weakly. It’s hard for him to accept but Ryosuke leave him no choice. Ryosuke’s lips curved a painful smile and then he put down the knife off his throat.
“Tell me, human. What is the deal?” Yuto asked with sadness in his eyes.
“I want you to love me and be with me forever” Ryosuke’s tears are flowing fast but he keep smiling. Yuto reaches out his hand to Ryosuke’s cheek and wipe off his tear. This is the most difficult deal to carry out. Human and demon can never be together so in order to fulfil the deal, he has to take Ryosuke’s soul because that is the only way he can be with him forever, at least as part of him.
“Ryosuke, a deal has to be sealed by a kiss” said Yuto in a low voice and at the same time, his face is getting closer to Ryosuke’s. The moment Ryosuke closed his eyes, he feels soft lips pressed on his smoothly and then the kiss become deeper and hungrier, a very passionate kiss along with tears from both human and demon.
“Our deal has been sealed” Yuto said while panting heavily after he breaks the long kiss. “I’ll give you time to say goodbye. On tomorrow sunset, I will fulfil our deal and your soul will be mine” Yuto meets their forehead together and both are hoping that tomorrow will never comes.

“Yamada-kun” he called and Ryosuke turn towards him.

Ryosuke open up a wallet that he forcefully took from Kei after he punched him on his stomach. He takes out all the money before he throws the wallet back to Kei. "Ne~ doesn't it seem that your money is getting lesser and lesser?" Ryosuke said while counting the the money.
"I-It's all I have, really" Kei is crouching on the ground while holding his painful stomach. A sudden kick on the wall right beside his left ear make him freeze and he can't even move a muscle.
"It's not good to lie, Kei-chan. You're a rich bastard deshou? You live here by yourself but your father will send you money every month. I can't satisfy women with this much can I?" Taking money from Kei is like his extra income beside his part time jobs to support his "night life".

"Inoo-kun, please let me help you" Takaki put his hand on Kei's shoulder. Takaki is the only teacher who knows about Kei's situation but no matter how many times he tried to help him, he always rejected his help.
"No, sensei. That guy, he warned me to stay away from you. If I let you help me, things will only get worst. So please, don't worry about me sensei" Kei pushes away Takaki's hand. Takaki just watch Kei's back is getting smaller and then he let out a heavy sigh while looking up at the cloudy sky.

The night is becoming late and Ryosuke is fixing his hair in front of the mirror, getting ready to go out when he heard a noise outside the window. Wondering what was the noise, he nervously slides open his window. "Woah!!" Ryosuke fall on his butt when a black bat suddenly flies inside his room through the window.
"Yamada Ryosuke" the bat spoke as it flapping its wings before Ryosuke's face.
"Eh? Eh?" Ryosuke blinks his eyes for couple times, disbelieved of what he saw. A bat can actually talk? But he almost fainted when the bat transformed into a beautiful guy.
"Y-y-you! Who-what are you?" Ryosuke asked with a breaking voice.
"I'm a demon" answered Yuri and then only Ryosuke realized the he has a same tail as Yuto's. Ryosuke gasped as he suddenly become hard to breathe. Yuto is the first thing that came into his mind.
"Yuto, where is he? Where is he? Where did he go all this time?" he asked impatiently.
"He went back to Hell."
"What? Jya...he never comes back? Not even once?"
"He still visit human world, plenty times if I must say."
Ryosuke fall on his knees, dumbfounded. Yuto still visiting human world but he never comes to see him. Does he really hate him that much?
"Why? Why he never show up in front of me even though I called for him thousand times" Ryosuke sound so hurt and his tears are threatening to fall.
"You see human, a demon can appear before you if he chose to but if human want to summon a demon, there must be a ritual" said Yuri.
"A ritual?"
"Yes and I will teach you how to do the ritual and what are the things that you need to prepare in order to perform the ritual."
"Really? You really gonna teach me? But...why do you want to help me?" Ryosuke find it's weird a demon that he never met before is trying to help him.
"My master, he has gone mad. He has been seducing humans to make deal with him and claim their souls when their wishes came true. You can't even imagine how many souls he has taken over the past six months. However, he still can't satisfy his hunger."
"If he can takes other human souls that easy, then what do you need me for? He doesn't want my soul anymore" there is disappointment and a bit jealousy in Ryosuke's voice.
"Don't you know? You are the reason why my master became this way" Yuri sighs looking at Ryosuke's face who looks stunned with his words. "But what more important, The King is upset with his behaviour. My master has taken lot of souls that supposed to belong into Hell. You see, bad, evil humans and humans who commit suicide their souls will go straight into Hell when they die but if human make a deal with demon, their soul is belong to that demon to be eaten. My master took advantage of those human's desires. Do all evil things for them, seducing people who wants to take their own life, fulfilled their deals and take their souls all for himself. You know, there is a rule for demon to make a deal with human."
"What it is?" Ryosuke is curious, he never thought there is also a rule in demon's world.
"We could only make a deal to human who summoned us and asked for it. But my master breaks the rule. He shows himself upon human and offers them a deal. He also offered you a deal when you first met him right? At first, The King just let him loose because he is his son but master has gone beyond control and The King is angry. If he takes one more soul by breaking the rule, The King will chain him up and lock him into the deepest hell's pit. He won't be able to go to human world forever. I don't want that to happen to my master" Yuri kneels down in front of Ryosuke and lowers down his head.
"Your soul is the only soul that he need. Dakara, please...save my master."

After a week, Ryosuke finally gathered all the ingredients needed to perform the ritual. It was really hard to find those ingredients as it's consist of rare item such as black cat's bone, dirt from dead man's grave and mix of herbs that really hard to find. But with Yuri's help, he managed to get all the items and tonight he will perform the summoning ritual. To be honest, he is really terrified to do this ritual but he misses Yuto so much and he wants to see him again. For that sake, he will do anything.
The night has come and Ryosuke is preparing for the ritual. He lit the several candles atop of pentagram symbol and the middle of it, there is a bowl contained of the mix ingredients. After he lit the last candle, he takes out a knife and places it on his palm. He takes a deep breath before he cut his palm.
"Et ad congregandum...eos coram me" he recites the ritual incantation as he drops his blood into the bowl. Lastly, he lit a matchstick and throws it into the bowl. The bowl explodes a flame, burning all the ingredients inside the bowl at once. Ryosuke tries to find Yuto's figure behind the smoke but he doesn't see anyone. The ritual, does it failed?
"Ryosuke?"
Ryosuke's heart almost falls when he heard the voice that he misses so much. He turns around and Yuto is standing right in front his eyes. "Yuto!" Ryosuke pounces on Yuto and hugs him tightly. Yuto is trembling all over his body when Ryosuke in his arms. His hand clenches on Ryosuke's back and his other hand on the back of his head, running through his fingers into Ryosuke's hair and buried his lips on his neck. He misses him too, a lot but what makes his body trembles is Ryosuke's soul, it's driving him crazy. He can sense the difference, his soul has become this beautiful, desirable and...delicious.
"Why did you summon me?" Yuto breaks the hug even though he doesn't really want to.
"Gomen...gomen, Yuto. I didn't mean what I said before. So please, don't leave me again."
"Aren't you happy that I'm gone?"
"No! I can't stand the loneliness when you're not by my side!" Ryosuke grabbed Yuto's arms firmly. Yuto's heart aches. He also feels the same way but he can't do this.
"You're such a foolish human. I'm not going to follow you around anymore. I've already lost interest in your soul."
"And you're such a foolish demon. Do you think you can lie to me? I know you desire my soul more than ever", Ryosuke steps toward Yuto closely and reaches for his cheek. "I can see it in your demon eyes, you yearn for it." Yuto swallowed his saliva. He didn't expect that Ryosuke can see right through him.
"Yuto...I want to make a deal with you."
"What? No!" Yuto pushes Ryosuke away, his sudden request surprised him but Ryosuke grabs back his hand.
“Please, Yuto! Make a deal with me and my soul will be yours!”
“Why are you doing this? How can you simply offering your soul to a demon?” Yuto shouted.
“Because I love you and I want to be with you forever!” Ryosuke confessed and his tears are flowing. Yuto stunned. He is completely shocked with Ryosuke’s confession.
“D-demon and human are not meant to be together” Yuto tried to speak even though his mouth can barely utter a word.
“That’s why I want you to have my soul” Ryosuke buried his face on Yuto’s chest. “At least, I can be part of you forever.”
“I...I can’t” said Yuto, slowly. Ryosuke’s shoulders are shaking rapidly from crying out loud. It hurt so much that Yuto keep rejecting him.
“Why, Yuto? Why? You want my soul but why you don’t want to take it?” said Ryosuke between his cries.
“Yes, I want it. I want to devour it right here, right now, I want it so badly! But If I take your soul, you will disappear forever. I won’t be ever to see you, to touch you...” slowly Ryosuke feels Yuto’s arms across his back, returning his hug as he continues to speak -
“...and I love you too much that I can’t bring myself to hurt you” Yuto’s tears are falling on his cheeks as he tightened his arms around Ryosuke.
“Y-Yuto...Yuto...Yuto” Ryosuke cries into his heart content inside the demon’s embrace. Yuto loves him too, that alone brings him unimaginable happiness. This love is completely wrong and forbidden, he doesn’t care any of it but he can’t ignore what Yuri told him. If Yuto didn’t take his soul which the only soul that can satisfy his hunger, he will continue taking other soul by breaking the rule and if that happened, Yuto won’t be able to come into human world forever. To be separated from him, it’s as good as dead.
“I won’t change my mind. I still want to make a deal with you” Ryosuke determined.
“I can’t and I won’t change my mind either!” Yuto replied strictly.
“Fine! Then let see if you still won’t change your mind if I do this” Ryosuke takes out the knife and aim it on his own throat.
“Ryosuke! What are you doing? Put down the knife!” Yuto panicked.
“If you don’t want to make a deal with me, I’ll kill myself and my soul will go straight to hell” he threatened. Yuto’s lips are trembling. For his precious, beautiful soul to belong into hell, to be tortured, tormented endlessly, he can’t let that happen! He won’t give Ryosuke’s soul to anyone else, not even to The King of Hell.
“I understand...” said Yuto, weakly. It’s hard for him to accept but Ryosuke leave him no choice. Ryosuke’s lips curved a painful smile and then he put down the knife off his throat.
“Tell me, human. What is the deal?” Yuto asked with sadness in his eyes.
“I want you to love me and be with me forever” Ryosuke’s tears are flowing fast but he keep smiling. Yuto reaches out his hand to Ryosuke’s cheek and wipe off his tear. This is the most difficult deal to carry out. Human and demon can never be together so in order to fulfil the deal, he has to take Ryosuke’s soul because that is the only way he can be with him forever, at least as part of him.
“Ryosuke, a deal has to be sealed by a kiss” said Yuto in a low voice and at the same time, his face is getting closer to Ryosuke’s. The moment Ryosuke closed his eyes, he feels soft lips pressed on his smoothly and then the kiss become deeper and hungrier, a very passionate kiss along with tears from both human and demon.
“Our deal has been sealed” Yuto said while panting heavily after he breaks the long kiss. “I’ll give you time to say goodbye. On tomorrow sunset, I will fulfil our deal and your soul will be mine” Yuto meets their forehead together and both are hoping that tomorrow will never comes.
