Hell Born

*Faded...*

Note: I changed the beginning of the last chapter, so if you want to see a good two minutes of Yeosang not being an asshole there you go.

And I also want to clarify that this chapter, the previous one and the next one all take place in the same day <3

Yunho wasn't often the type to seek advice. For the most part, he thought it should be within his capabilities to solve whatever issues he had all on his own. Yet there he sat. A cup of tea in his hand, his gaze down cast and a fire demon sitting across from him. Never did he think he would come to ask a creature meant to be his adversary for help with an emotion he was never meant to experience. Yet here he was. In the home of two demons.

What he thought would be met with ridicule received a soft grin and a relaxing proposal from the older supernatural. Though he was shocked, it was a response Yunho welcomed. "I'm not sure where to start..."

"Take your time. I've got all day. Or, until Seonghwa gets back." Yunho nearly smiled at that. It was, of course, a jab at the way Seonghwa despised him, but he enjoyed the way Hongjoong never failed to consider his partner's feelings. "Let's start with something simple. How do you feel towards Mingi?"

"I feel..." It wasn't hard for him to get his thoughts clear on the matter, the problem laid in how to put it into words. So after a few moments of careful consideration, he was able to answer. "I feel as though the Sun is shining on every part of my body. Displeasure is nonexistent when I look at him. I've seen angels that cannot compare to his smile, his eyes, every little feature he has. My heart is always seconds away from leaping out my chest when I see him. And when he holds me...it's like magic. When he's with me, I feel complete and there isn't a single being in the universe that can make me feel the way he does."

The angel didn't realise, but he began to smile as he spoke. The act still tended to hurt his cheeks because of how little he did it, but he didn't mind. Yunho heard Hongjoong giggle, then watched him shake his head. "That was beautiful," He said earnestly. He chuckled yet again at the way Yunho blushed. "Never in my life did I think I would hear an angel speak in such a way, or even blush for that matter. Now, let me ask you this: Do you love him?"

This time, Yunho was hesitant to respond. "I can't truly say...I've never felt love before. I don't want to mistake a phase for such an intense feeling..."

"Trust me, it's no phase," Hongjoong told him, a smile resting on his face. "I know how it feels to be emotionless and suddenly start experiencing a whole new world of feelings. It can be frightening and I don't blame you if you ever want to go back to feeling stoic. It's not my place to tell you how to feel. You are now a living being, your decisions are your own. But, I'll say this. Don't be afraid to make a move, Yunho. You may have all of eternity, but he doesn't. Don't let fear be the thing to overpower you."

Fear, another emotion Yunho had only experienced once he left the safety of heaven. He never thought he would fear losing someone until today. The thought of losing Mingi haunted him. So much so that he didn't even want to imagine it. "What if he doesn't say it back...?"

"There's no way to predict what he'll say or how he feels," Stated Hongjoong right before he took a sip of his tea. "If he doesn't, you'll simply have to accept it. You can't force someone to admit their feelings for you. Hell, it took Seonghwa and me years to say 'I love you' to one another. It takes time."

Seonghwa. He was the key. As long as he remained on Earth, Yunho would get to stay with Mingi. He could wait for his heart to heal and maybe, just maybe, he would get the chance to make it his.
