~21~

You shove Baby away, scowling as he laughs maniacally. You check the bed for Romance, to find him still sound asleep next to you. His hair frames his peaceful expression as his breaths come out in gentle puffs.

Baby finally stops laughing, snorting one last time in amusement. "You- You should've seen the look on your face!"

You grab a pillow to whack him with, smacking him over the face with it. He falls backwards and you sit on his chest, holding the pillow over his mouth to kill him. But you won't actually. Just... make him suffer a bit.

Baby starts screaming, kicking his legs out. He tries to yank the pillow away, but you're stronger at this angle.

Romance blearily blinks awake, making a sleepy sound. He lifts his head and rubs his face. "Love? Are you- Is that Baby?"

"Yeah, he scared me awake." You grunt, reinforcing your efforts as Baby slaps you somehow. "Stop moving and just-"

Romance gently tugs you away from your potential murder victim. Baby gasps for breath, fisting at the sheets as he sucks in air. Romance eases the pillows out of your grasp, being the one of reason for the possible first time in his life.

Or at least that's what you think before he starts to caress the inside of your thighs, his hands slowly drifting closer to something intimate.

"Romance," you dryly say, pushing his hands away. "I just woke up. I'm going to go brush my teeth and eat breakfast."

Romance sighs and lets you go. "Okay... But you'll be ready for today's performance?"

"What?" You slip out of bed, swatting Baby's hands away as he tries to exact his revenge. "There's a performance today? I'm your manager, I should've planned or at least heard of this before today."

"Well Mystery has been doing some of your work while Jinu's insisting on your bedrest." Romance shrugs. He clambers closer to Baby, nuzzling into him before sinking his fangs into the other demons neck.

"What the fuck?" Baby cries out in alarm. "Romance what are you- Ah- What the-"

Romance giggles as he pulls away, stroking Baby's face. "You taste different than her."

Baby hisses before he hesitates. "Why'd you... Why'd you stop?"

"Okay, I'm leaving." You turn on your heel and walk into the bathroom. You brush your teeth, go pee, and return to the bedroom.

You're met with the sight of Baby's glassy eyes and Romance giggling next to him hysterically. You debate whether you should separate them, but decide it's not worth it.

You'll have someone else do it.

You go to the kitchen, watching Abs make waffles for a moment before there's a sudden tap on your shoulder. You spin around to see Mystery smiling at you, in what you believe to be a fond expression. It's hard to tell with the hair covering the majority of his face.

"Uh, Romance is feeding off Baby in my room," you tell him. The fond (?) look crumples into one of irritation. "They're just lying there right now. I dunno if you wanted to go deal with it or something."

"I'll go deal with it," Mystery grumbles. He kisses your forehead gently before leaving.

Abs grins at you, dishing a waffle onto a plate and holding it out for you. "Breakfast?"

"Thanks, Abby." You take it from him, hovering for a moment. "Can I help? You're always cooking alone."

"No, I'm fine." Abs shakes his head and reaches into the fridge. He brings out syrup and places it onto the counter. "Cooking is relaxing. But if you wanted to cook with me one day, I wouldn't mind. It would be nice."

"How about we make dinner together?" you suggest, grabbing the syrup. Abs nods and kisses you before you drizzle the syrup over your pancakes. "Do you have anything in mind?" 

"Oh, I wanted to try making pasta from scratch." Abs' face lights up as he talks. He's very enthusiastic about cooking, and it's heartwarming to see. "But I wasn't sure what kind to make. Marinara, Alfredo, or maybe a spaghetti carbonara?"

"Uh..." You chew on the waffle. "I know like half those words."

Abs laughs lightly. "I'll choose then. You only have to be pretty. In a... non-misogynist way. I meant to compliment you but it sounded sexist. I'm sorry. Women are great!"

"Abby, no, it's okay." You squeeze his arm in reassurance. "I know what you meant." 

Mystery walks back into the kitchen, frowning in frustration. Derpy follows with both Romance and Baby on the tiger-demon-ghost-spirit's back (you don't exactly know what he is).

"How are they?" Abs asks over his shoulder as he turns the stove off. 

"They'll be fine. But today's performance might be an issue." Mystery sighs before glancing at you. "It's not unusual for demons to feed from each other, even if it doesn't satiate hunger. It's a bonding activity."

Jinu pads into the room, smiling widely. "Performance today! And we have a lovely... significant other now. Did I use that right?"

"There's a problem," Abs says, waving a hand at the two incapacitated demons. Romance falls off of Derpy, clambering up onto his feet and over to you.

"Nope," Mystery quickly says, yanking Romance away before he can hump you or something. "Not when you're like this."

"What happened to them?" Jinu demands, rubbing his face. He groans and sinks down to the floor. "We can't preform like this!"

Baby tugs at Derpy's fur, cooing at the tiger. "Aw, a kitty. A cute little kitty."

"That is kinda unsettling," you remark, staring at Baby. Derpy stares into the distance, and you're glad he doesn't seem annoyed. It would be a shame if Baby was eaten in front of you, since you would have nightmares the rest of your life.

There's a knock at the door that sends everyone scrambling. Abs tries to shove Derpy out of the room, but the tiger sits there. He's too big to be moved, mouth falling open to pant.

"Get-" Abs grunts, using his entire body weight to push against Derpy. "Come on! You have to hide!"

"Hello!" Romance cheerily says as he wrenches the door open, having gotten away from Mystery somehow. 

"No!" Jinu tackles Romance and kicks the door shut. They wrestle for a moment before Jinu contains the other demon, dragging him away from the door.

Baby peeks up from behind the couch, claws extended as he growls at the door. "Get it! It can't be near her! It might hurt her!"

"I appreciate the concern, but I think I'm the most put-together person here." You look around, taking in Jinu and Romance as they tussle, Baby spitting angrily at the front door, and Mystery and Abs as they try to shove Derpy out of the room. "So... I'll just answer the door."

"No!" Baby lunges for you as you open the door and slip outside. You shut the door behind you, smiling politely at the man outside.

"Hello, can I help you with something?" You look down at the bag the man is holding before lifting your face to his face.

"I'm looking for-" The man pauses, eyes glazing over. He mouths something silently before a purple hue shines in his irises. 

"Um..." You reach behind you for the door handle as your heart rate picks up. "I just-"

The man opens his mouth, but a different voice comes out than the one you had just heard. It sounds smoother than before, with a slight edge to it.

"So... We finally meet."

Blackness overcomes the edges of your vision as your knees buckle. You lie on the doorstep as the man reaches down and presses his hand against the middle of your chest.

"Your soul... will be mine."
