Storm off.

“Screw this!” Random shouted, tossing the piece of clothing off his face and across the room. Quickly he recovered himself, getting dressed and passed the bathroom. The boy slammed the door behind him provoking a yell from his mother.

“Bitterly cold and humid, such an enchanting combination." He sarcastically mused to himself. He was not at all used to leaving the house this early. Random strolled down the paved streets with no real destination. He wandered for a time, the rain soaking his hair, keeping the boy calm, while both his hands were in his coat pockets, balled up into fists.

His mind tried to process something he probably never understood. Thoughts that enraged and scared him crawled inside his skull. “Was I doomed to live a life of constant fear and torment? Why did I have to act so fucking childish in that fucking dream?!” Random’s inner voice erupted before he heard feet hitting puddles from behind.

“And what the fuck do you want?” The young man spoke quietly before facing the person who ran to him. He already knew who they were.

Even though he knew who was there, he wasn’t any least surprised when he saw Crimson standing, out of breath with a look of fear drawn on her face. Her hair drenched and uniform loosely pulled together. She was the opposite of her usual sophisticated self she didn't even bother covering up her more monstrous features.

“W-why ...” She tried desperately to speak but hadn’t the breathe to do so.

“Damn, demons have to breathe, that's new.” He mocked no longer caring if it pissed her off anymore.

The girl gave herself a moment to recover. “I wouldn’t have to if your soul wasn’t affecting me so much, you humans are so limited, don't worry my soul will… Never mind W-why… you leave without me?!”

She filled him with angry like no other and shouted back. “Oh I don’t know, might be the little demon just brainwashed my Mother and expects me to be her ****.”

She barks back. “And how else would I be able to protect you or avoid anyone getting in the crossfire.”

He had fired his final round of hatred towards her and she had an answer waiting to counter it. Random needed a new approach. He took a few seconds to shake his damp hair then looked at her, then again. “Wait…” He chuckled the air of confidence around him, leaving a puzzled face on his unholy amigo. “No makeup? not that you need it. Loose clothing and revealing your horns to the outer world? Even I am not that careless. You're worried about me.” Random moved his hand behind their head and laugh into the air while the rain struck his face.

The young man’s words shook the unfeeling Hellspawn, freezing her on the spot like a scared cat. “I am not worried about you! I just don’t want you to get yourself killed if you’ve forgotten if you die I die, Idiot!”

“So you’re only looking out for yourself. Sure.” He smiled as he'd finally have gotten to her “This morning you wanted to be my abusive mistress now it's my protector it's cute when you can’t decide.”

Cheeks filled with crimson she takes a final yet humorous stand. “DON’T CALL ME CUTE!” Her eyes burst into a fiery glow and the rainwater covering over her body turned to stream. “ARRRRRRRR…. Wait! What are you doing!?” Random removed his coat and placed it over her. “I don’t get cold Idiot!” She yelled.

“Yeah, I guessed that but I doubt you’d ...” flipping the hood over her head mid-sentence. “... want people knowing you got horns…” He mistakenly touches one of said horns making the demon slightly close her eyes and let out a small moan “Now calm the fuck down people are probably still asleep, plus this is my favourite coat and I don’t want it to go up in flames.”

“Who?… Whom do I have to kill for you to stop being so nice to me am a demon for fuck sakes.”

He’d laugh again enjoying this side of her far more. before he turned to face the bus stop. “Hey, let's skip school today.”

Crimson looked curiously at his suggestion. “Won’t we..." Correcting herself immediately."Won't you get into trouble?”

“Trouble? Seriously? What happened to ‘Am a demon for fuck sakes.’?”

“Nothing happened!” Crimson shouted then that coy smile returned. “Just didn’t know you might grow some balls.” And then lightly knees me in said bulls. “Come on a worm!”

This time he didn’t take it as an insult but played it off. “‘Worm’? I kinda liked ‘Little mouse’.”

“Can’t believe you remember that out of everything.”
