“We are here”

Gulf says as he opens the door to his apartment. 

It was a cheap apartment with only one room and a bathroom, while the bedroom and kitchen were joined together.

‘Huh? You expect me to live in this crappy place?’

Mew thought as he looked around the house. It was slightly messy from a few clothes scattered on the floor and some things out of order.

“Feel free to look around. There isn’t much but this is my home”

Gulf says as he starts quickly fixing his room.

Now, Mew might not be human or understand them but non the less he does know hospitality when he sees them. Gulf was trying to please Mew and Mew was happy to see that.

It was already night and everything outside was eerily quiet. The neighbourhood Gulf’s house was in,

was very far from any roads or cars and it didn’t seem like many people lived in this building to the point that if someone were to scream there wouldn’t be any people coming to save them.

“Foolish human bringing in a complete stranger to your home. If stupidity was a sin then you would be rotting in hell by now.”

Mew thinks to himself as he stares at Gulf bringing out some clothes from his closet.

“Here you can change into this”

Gulf says all of a sudden with clothes in his hands trying to give them to Mew.

“Huh? You want me to wear this?”

Mew asks, shocked. 

‘Me? Wear filthy human clothing?'

Mew shakes his head in disapproval. 

"Then are you going to sleep wearing those? They don't seem very comfortable."

Gulf was right, they were uncomfortable. Mew was wearing a very heavy silk gown with exquisite embroidery and lavish jewelry. It was not the best clothing to sleep in. Usually Mew would not need to change or sleep as he was a demigod and the concept of rest never applied to them. But now that he was in a semi human form he needed to restore his energy for the next awaiting day so that he could find this human's sins and drag him down to hell with him. 

Mew saw Gulf staring at him with his large bambi eyes, waiting for a response. 

"Ughh"

"Give me those"

Mew snatched the clothes from Gulf's hand as he walked straight into the bathroom slightly annoyed. 

"Ughhhh I can't believe I am wearing disgusting human clothing"

Mew grunted to himself as he got out of the bathroom and looked down at himself.

He was wearing a soft cotton T-shirt and long loose pants. 

Gulf, who was making the bed notices Mew's grumbling and turns around to look at him. 

"Wow, those look good on you"

Gulf compliments with a big smile, making Mew freeze again.

"By the way, I am sorry but I don't have any extra mattress so I think we have to sleep together."

"Okay…."

"Wait What?!"

Mew snaps out of it as he realizes what Gulf had asked. 

"Sleep together? Me and you?!"

"Yes"

Gulf answers calmly. 

"Why?"

'I might get talked into wearing human clothes but there is no way am I sleeping with a human. NO WAY!'

"As I have only one bed and I can't let a guest sleep on the cold hard floor"

"Then you sleep elsewhere"

"Why? It's my house"

Gulf answers matter of factly, rendering Mew speechless. 

"Come on it will be fun"

Gulf says as he pulls Mew towards the bed. 

"No!No!"

Mew protests but they are all rendered useless as Gulf pushes Mew on the bed. 

Gulf giggles and plops downs next to Mew which makes Mew stiffen up as in to minimize the skin contact with him. 

"See it isn't so bad"

Gulf says as he stretches his arms to relax but Mew doesn't answer him as he tries to avoid any and all touching with this "disgusting human"

"Hehe I can't believe we are sleeping together… "

Gulf stops mid sentence and turns to face Mew. 

"Oh my I don't even know your name. Silly me"

Gulf laughs at himself.

"My name is… Mew.. "

Mew answers first. 

"Mew… Nice name.."

Gulf says softly.

"My name is Gulf."

"I know."

"Oh really?!"

Gulf askes with excitement in his voice and gets up slightly and looks directly at Mew. 

"What else do you know?"

"That's it…" 

Mew answers looking away. He can’t tell he knows about this boy’s death can he?

"Oh….."

Slightly disappointed Gulf plops back down on his bed. 

"Then how about I tell you about myself and then you tell me yours?"

"...ok"

"Ok then. I am Gulf, 22 years old, couldn't graduate college as I didn't have the money and an orphan"

Gulf says all of this cheerfully. 

"Orphan?.."

Mew asks, slightly intrigued.

"Oh they died by the hands of loan sharks when I was 5"

Mew turns his face slightly and sees Gulf with a smile on his face but this smile made Mew's human heart feel heavy. He couldn't understand it but he hated that smile. He wanted to hold Gulf’s hand but he quickly controlled himself not to.

‘Why? Now do I have to comfort this human for having a tough life?’

Mew turns around frustrated to face Gulf only to see him already dozed off. 

"Heh"

Mew sarcastically laughs at himself. 

'This is the boy with supposedly no sins.' 

'That has to be a lie'

Mew stares at the sleeping Gulf

'For the first time it seems that the book is wrong'

A strand of hair suddenly drops on Gulf's face. Mew instinctively reaches out to move it and says,

"There is no such human with no sins and you will be my proof of that"
