"We feel pain like how humans do, we just heal faster but it still hurts." Mingi says as he laid on top of Yunho, silently asking for the human to pet his head.
Yunho hummed and complied, softly ruffling the devil's hair, "So you can heal yourself?"
Mingi nodded at the question, making Yunho hum again.
"Say.." Yunho suddenly started, "Why do you think I'm the only one that can hear you?"
Mingi was obviously taken aback at the question. He kept quiet for a few minutes before shaking his head, "I honestly don't know.. I was surprised too when you replied me."
Yunho took a deep breath and looked down, locking eyes with the devil and smiled, "Well, I'm glad I could."
Mingi blushed and nodded, hiding his face in Yunho's big sweater.
Yunho plopped his head onto the headboard and heaved out a sigh, although he looked like he didn't mind, his mind says otherwise. He was always thinking about his situation with Mingi, not letting his mind rest as he thought about all the outcomes of getting involved in Mingi's devil life.
He love Mingi so much that he would sacrifice his life for the devil, but he didn't want to die without understanding the whole situation. He needed to find out why and how he was the only one who could hear Mingi, and why him of all people.
It wasn't a normal thing to be able to read people's mind, but it seems like he could only hear Mingi's, but why?
Yunho sighed for the Nth time and closed his eyes as he let his thought run wild in his mind. Mingi noticed Yunho's stressed state and pouted. He gently hold on to Yunho's palm and kissed it softly, making Yunho flinch at the sudden contact.
Suddenly, Mingi's wings glitched, his horns started appearing and glowed.
The devil instantly jumped up from the bed and growled, "Yun, hide in the bathroom, we have company."
Yunho gulped and obeyed, he quickly ran into the bathroom and locked the door. He whimpered softly when he heard a loud crash coming from the living room, following by a few ear piercing shriek that Yunho swore it's not humanly.
"Don't come out until I tell you to." Mingi's voice rang in Yunho's ears ever so deeply, gently yet sternly assuring the taller.
Yunho squatted down onto the bathroom floor. The shrieks so loud that Yunho find it hard to tolerate. He clamped his palm onto his ears to hopefully block out the sound, but to no avail.
Yunho could hear Mingi growling and the other creature shrieking back, ignoring Mingi's warning. A few loud crash following after the shrieks of the creature, Yunho whimpered when he felt a loud bang on the bathroom door. He quickly hid himself into bathtub, pressing his body against the tub as further away from the door as possible.
Yunho pressed his eyes closed and felt a tear dripping from his cheeks, heck, he was shivering from fear, he was scared to his life, worried about his lover who was out there fighting the weird thing.
Until, "I said stand down."
Yunho opened his eyes when the familiar voice hit his ears, was he hearing things? He swore he heard Mingi's voice, but it wasn't directed to him. It came from outside, but it's impossible, Mingi's mute..
The owner of the voice was obviously trying to keep his tone as low as possible, considering the fact that the command was close to no threat. A few crashes followed after and everything was back to silent.
It ended.
Yunho tip-toed his way towards the door and creaked the door open, allowing a small gap for him to peek through.
He saw his lover standing infront of the living room, with his black wings spread and him towering over a smaller male. Mingi was panting and his horns glowed slightly as he walked his way towards the male.
Mingi leaned down and gripped onto the male's collar, pulling him up from the groud and glared at him in disgust, "I told you to stand down yet you wouldn't. Look what've you done to yourself."
The male was dripping blood from all parts of his body, yet he managed to squeeze out a cheeky smirk, which made Mingi furious.
"How did you find this place?" Mingi asked, his voice deep and challenging, an overwhelming aura leaking from his voice, the familiar pressure once again pressing against Yunho's chest. This time, Yunho was sure it was Mingi. His boyfriend who came out as mute is now speaking, with his own voice.
"Hehehehehe, you'll die, soon enough. Along with that boyfie of yours.." The male giggled, oblivious to the change of expression of Mingi's.
Mingi wasted no time and teared off the small pair of wings presented on the male's back, igniting a heart-wrenching scream from the male.
The male thrashed around at the burning, intolerable pain. His face scrunching into a weird expression as gushes of blood poured out of the wound where his wings used to be.
"You don't deserve to become a devil." Mingi ended and his horns glowed. He gripped onto the male's shirt and jumped off of the balcony, possibly going to end him somewhere else.
Yunho let out a huge breath that he didn't know he was holding and collapsed onto the ground. He couldn't believe what he had saw or heard. Everything was a mess to him, he couldn't process his head properly at the moment as he eyes the living room, all wrecked up and bloody.
But what happened next shocked him. All the blood started to disappear, along with the messed up furniture and decorations. Everything started to move, returning into its initial position. The once broken glass started to mend back to its original state, as if the fight never took place.
Yunho gasped in surprise and fear as he scans his house, what the hell is going on?
A few minutes later, Mingi came back, with a box of cake in hand. He was going to apologize to Yunho for bringing his work into the house and for scaring Yunho.
He knows that Yunho was peeking through the bathroom, that's why he dragged the male out of the house so that he wouldn't see him in his deadly state.
He was ready for everything that's going to be thrown at him. He was ready to get an earful, and he was also ready to explain.
"Yunho..?" Mingi called out softly while he opened the bedroom door, finding it weird with how quiet the house was.
"Yu-" He was cut off when the door suddenly closed, and his back was suddenly slammed onto the door harshly. He was trapped between the door and Yunho, who now had both his arms slammed onto each side of his head. His eyes glaring straight at Mingi, and if looks could kill, Mingi would've died on the spot a million times now.
"I-I can explain.." Mingi could feel Yunho's eyes dripping anger and disappointment, so he quickly said.
"You're so gonna get this." Yunho's voice lacing coldness and he gave Mingi a smirk which the devil knew it's not going to be fun.
