Stars Can't Shine Without Darkness

[Scroll to the end for a surprise]

*Beep beep! Beep beep- Smack!*

Oreki throws the alarm clock away. He snuggles into his blanket only to be waked by his bedroom door slammed open. "YOU BRAT! YOU THREW IT OUT FROM THE WINDOW! IT ALMOST HIT ME!" Oreki immediately sits up, eyes fully open.

"Oniichan! I bought groceries." Kyojuro enters the apartment unit where he, his twin, and Senjuro lives. Where's Senjuro? He went to school.

"It hit me instead." Douma who is standing behind Lord Lucky raises his hand. But he's not particularly angry or anything. I mean- he literally doesn't feel anything.

"What's wrong?! Oreki are you okay?!" Katsuki appears at the doorstep after he heard the commotion. By the way, he and Douma live next door.

And for Lord Lucky.... never mind. He owns the whole apartment. They won't get kicked out no matter how much ruckus they caused. It appears in Lord Lucky's world custom, a Demon Lord must not only be powerful, but rich as well. Small fights like this make the apartment more lively.

After resolving the small conflict, Lord Lucky walked out of the apartment with a sigh. "How should I fix my unstable emotions? To become angry over some alarm clock that didn't even hit me... I seemed immature." Lord Lucky mumbles.

"Emotions are harder to handle than I thought." Douma walks beside Lord Lucky because Katsuki doesn't want to spend time with him. About their skin problem, Lord Lucky applied a thin layer of magic onto Kyojuro and Douma so that they won't burn under the sun.

"Say, Douma, wanna go to some interesting places? Humans in this era invented a lot of entertainment. They have an arcade, theme park, giant aquarium, and whoa! Food stalls!" Lord Lucky skipped happily while reading the tour guide.

"...So this is what it feels to be happy?"

Douma has no other explanation for the bubbly feeling inside him. The first time he met Lord Lucky, Douma was astonished. A majestic dark dragon cuts through the wind, soaring high in the sky. The sunlight illuminates its wings as if there were golden linings. And his strong reaction during his mood swings made Douma have a better understanding of emotions further.  Lord Lucky showed him the wonders of the world by letting them ride over his back in his dragon form while casting concealment magic. The view is just breathtaking.

"The world is indeed beautiful." Douma continues. But that isn't enough. He wanted to see more.

Both demons, despite being born in darkness, still craved light. Because being in dark is too lonely and boring. Douma wishes to see what the world has to offer. But he can't do that alone or he'll be lost. He needs Lord Lucky to guide him.

Douma eyed an angry-looking doll on the shelf. It is labeled as 'Katsuki Bakugo plushie'. "Katsuki? *Chuckles* They look the same when they're angry." Douma bought the plushie as a souvenir. Believe it or not, despite the verbal abuse he received throughout the years they have spent together, the only thing in his head is the thought of his little brother being cute.

"Hey! You're so slow! We're gonna miss the bullet train!" Lord Lucky crosses his arm.

"Okay!~" Douma catches up. Little that he knew that he had found a friend.
