My partner is a demon

14. My partner is an angel

Fluke woke up feeling a terrible headache and an inexplicable stomach ache. He was feeling off balance and dizzy, almost like after a rollercoaster ride, but without the fun part, just a terrible sense coming from inside out. It took him a lot of effort, but he managed to open his eyes. It didn't help, though.

He was in a completely dark room, with no source of light be it natural or artificial. Yet, he was capable of checking himself and his body seemed to be fine, fresh new clothes and all. Which was at least weird, since he clearly remembered being beaten off several times by S. He heard a low moaning coming from his right.

Fluke narrowed his eyes and slowly the figure by his side became more than a fuzzy silhouette. It was Ohm. His Ohm.

"You're alive! I can't believe it worked! I'm so happy!", the petite demon jumped on his beloved mundane's lap, showering him with kisses and never loosening his tight hug, which was effortlessly corresponded.

"Hey, love! I'm happy to see you're fine too!", Ohm said, kissing his forehead, his voice trembling a little. He was afraid to blink and realize it was all just a dream. He had seen Fluke's lifeless body before his eyes a few minutes ago… or at least he thought it was just minutes.

"What the Hell happened, Fluke?! Where are we now?!", he asked, standing up and taking his partner with him.

"I don't know either…", the other was about to say, when they both were startled by a sudden change in the room.

Strange images started to appear at the walls of the place they were in. They looked like a movie trailer, yet they couldn't hear any sound coming from the videos playing non-stop.

One of them caught Fluke's interest. It was showing a college student talking to other, probably a senior and a freshman, judging by their looks. But when he looked closely at it, it was clear that their faces were swapped in those strangers' bodies. He didn't remember having lived that situation, yet he could see Ohm and himself talking to each other and curiosity made him reach the image with a hand.

To his surprise, when Fluke touched Ohm's cheek in the image from the wall, he suddenly was able to listen to the students' conversation.

"Nong Pharm, how are you? Did you eat breakfast already?", the shock brought by the novelty of such a remarkable experience made him remove his hand. He was completely disoriented, the taller one had just called the one he thought was him by "Pharm" and it made everything more confusing. He touched the video again, determined to gather as much information as possible.

"Yes, I did, P'Dean! And what about you?",  the one called Pharm asked with a bright smile and flushed cheeks.

They were all the same, but different at the same time. His mind simply couldn't connect the dots and Ohm was about to combust in worry watching all that. The detective then touched the image on the wall and heard the young men there giggling softly.

"Fluke, what is that?", he whispered, too scared of whichever could be the answer.

"Do you wanna know how that's possible?", a voice called from behind them.

The sudden realization that the dark room could be occupied by someone besides them struck Fluke, catching him off guard. Still, he was quick to regain his cool, but nothing could ever prepare him to face what was before them. 

"Who…?", he turned to ask but was confronted by a long deer snout. "What the hell?!", he jumped back scared.

There were two deers. Two large animals with small tails, slender legs, antlers and everything else. At the same time they looked like regular deers, they were completely different because -- besides the fact one of them had just talked human language --, their eyes showed a hint of consciousness.
