Chapter 21
He arrived and took a deep breath forgetting for a moment that Starise is an Icy planet or more like a frozen one. The fierce rush of cool air assaulted his insides causing him to shiver.
Someone appeared in front of him, their orange hair temporarily blinding his vision. He didn't need to see their face to know that it's the white ghost of the underworld. Not because of their hair either. This is not his original hair colour.
Alastor stared at him for a while before announcing loudly,"The coast is…".
There was a pause,"-not clear".
Immediately after he finished the sentence, the Demon Ministers appeared,Lilith and Keres.
They both didn't utter a word before disappearing into thin air, leaving them alone.
Pride appeared and Lust had to do a double take.
Is this Pride?
"Sa…yiel?". He observed him very closely just to be sure and was stupified when he confirmed that this is really Pride.
The said demon smirked, satisfied at Lust's reaction,"In flesh and blood".
Lust gaped in disbelief,"Why do you have Sakiel's hair and eyes?".
"My dear Samiel, you're so caught up on the mission that you didn't get to explore this wonderful planet. Well, this is called dyeing of hair and this, contact lenses". He said smugly, pointing at both his hair and eyes.
Lust rolled his eyes,"I know what it is called, dip shit".
People have always claimed Wrath's hair colour is artificial and 'obviously dyed'
"Wow, the demon knows human language". Pride grinned.
"Why Sakiel's though, you hate his guts". He wondered equally puzzled.
"Y.O.U hate his guts and that's why, just to annoy you Miel".
Lust snickered, not believing him at all,"Since when did you start doing things to annoy anyone? everybody is below you, Sayiel, did you forget?".
Sayiel beamed proudly,"You still know me so well. I did it because his hair colour is unique and his eyes…well…charming".
"His hair colour is unique? His eyes are charming? Pride your hair and eyes are literally yellow in colour, what is more unique than that?". Lust couldn't understand.
"Except you're ashamed of both?". Lust tilted his head in amazement, his eyes narrowing.
"It is a good day to be an immortal and witness this rare occasion of Pride not being proud". He taunted him further, feeling generous with his humour.
"Let's go if you still want to meet up with school today". Sayiel hurriedly dragged him after himself, his face crimson with embarrassment.
Lust has almost forgotten how stressful mortal things are, including school and studying.
Not like he ever studied, he doesn't need to pass to get to the next class.
As long as he wants to, it will be granted. There are lots of Lucifer's agents lurking around.
Even though they had been Freshers when they came into the school, a year behind Ashton, they were still able to attend almost all his classes, just to keep an eye on him and make their mission easier.
Now it's still going to be the same thing, they hadn't taken the last semester exams but they will be moving to a new class which means they will be in the same class with him.
Lust didn't think he was ready to face Ashton yet, just the thought of seeing him again is enough to awaken his desire, so he's afraid of doing something selfish.
Thankfully he was able to convince Pride into skipping classes that morning and now they're settled in the cafeteria with Alastor, Lilith and Keres.
"I'm still put out with this 'Greedy' look". Lust complained for the hundredth time that day.
"That is great, you mustn't get used to it". Sayiel provoked.
"It's annoying". Lust remarked, his lips in a thin line.
Pride laughed before pointing out,"Because you find him annoying".
Lust's brow rose and he chuckled mockingly,"He thinks we're enemies".
"Except you don't consider him one". Pride stated, the obvious.
Lust shrugged unapologetically,"I only see him as a minor nuisance".
The demon of pride smirked,"You should be Pride instead".
Lust squeezed his face in distaste,"Only you can be Pride with all your perfections, Sayiel the most perfect demon. I am too flawed to afford prideness".
"Besides being Lust is enough".
He leaned against the wooden chairs, eyes closed while his mind wandered to Ashton. His own Ashton.
The things he would do to him if he somehow gets his hands on him. He had once asked him what it would feel like if he completely let go while using hypnotising seduction and he had only smiled in response.
Even he is unaware of the extent of the spell but he knows that it promises pleasure at its peak but of course there's a side effect, he can only use it if he's willing to be taken care of afterwards but just how much does he trust Ashton?
He brought his head down before chuckling knowing that he trusts him more than himself.
And that was when he felt it, the same gaze that had captured his attention that very first day at this same cafeteria.
'Ashton'.
His non existent heart whispered the name like it was engraved in his demon bone and sealed deep inside his demon blood.
His head shot up to meet his gaze, the same yearning that he feels reflected in those expressive brown orbs.
He saw the flash of confusion but what truly got his body sizzling was the unmistakable desire and adoration that was evident in his sparkling eyes.
His body responded with a thump of arousal slamming hard against his tight pants.
He smiled, because he could see the struggle in his eyes and from his body language, he looked like he was about to…
"And he bolted".
Sayiel whistled, his eyes sparkling mischievously.
Lust sighed but didn't go after him, he couldn't, not with the first fallen angel and the evil spirit demoness watching him like hawks ready to swoop down and feast on him when he's unsuspecting.
