"start to open your heart to salvation!!" the mic squeals in feedback, i quickly hit it a few time it's finally working again, "let us pray and say "fuck you satan!" i take off my chullo as the other men in hats take theirs off in respect, we go through basic prayers you know the drill. "thank you everyone for coming Sunday service is over." everyone starts to leave i set my mic down going into my office. i look in the mirror my dark circles even more present than usual. "damn- i need more sleep." i mutter. i look away from the mirror changing into my usual blue jacket and grab my keys. i head out into the main room seeing someone huddled in one of the rows, luckily i can project my voice without the microphone. "hey you okay? you lost or something?" the shape seems to be small maybe it's a child? "are you looking for your parents?" i carefully make my way back get to the silent lump, noticing something very odd, this person has a tail!! and wings?!" i carefully shake them, "hey you gotta leave why are you-" they look at me with huge red eyes, i step back.
"GAH! did i startle you?! i'm so sorry!" the thing sits up criss cross and continues to stare at me. i look at it in horror.
"what are you who are you?!" he grins showing sharp teeth.
"i'm Tweek! and i'm an imp!" he now has a name.
"okay Tweek. why are you here? in MY church?"
"not even gonna introduce yourself stranger?" he looks at me waiting.
i sigh, "i'm pastor Craig but go ahead and just call me Craig." Tweek grins.
"i like that name! what's a pastor? what's a church?!" he looks at me with those huge eyes.
"i run this place, and a church is a place of worship."
"what do you worship?"
"god." Tweek crinkles his nose.
"ew, i've met him not as high and mighty as you'd think." he notices the pins on my jacket. "what are those?"
"this one is a pride pin, i'm gay." he looks confused. "and that one is just a stupid thing telling people i have autism ."
"what is gay? what's autism?!"
"can i explain in the car please." he nods.
"what's a car?!"
"you'll see." he quickly stands up and follows me, i lead him to my beat up black kia. "cmon Tweek you can sit upfront with me though do something to hide those horns and wings, they'll have pitchforks after you for sure." he goes even more wide eyed and quickly shakes revealing him with big blue eyes and he looks even shorter.
"now tell me this gay stuff." i buckle him up starting the car.
"it just means i like guys."
"that's gay? i thought it was normal?!" i laugh slightly.
"yeah that's gay." i luckily don't live far from the church and manage to get home quickly. i park outside the apartment building and unbuckle Tweek. i unlock the door letting him is he quickly transforms back and starts sniffing around.
"it smells good in here! it smells like you." my face goes slightly red.
"oh. really?" he nods his tail curling up and down slightly.
"Craig. is it normal for humans and demons to date here?"
"i wouldn't know why?"
"i like you." my mouth opens in surprise.
"you just met me?!"
"no i've kinda maybe been watching you, not the point. do you like me?" he looks at me his big eyes staring me down. i think for a second a weird fluffy feeling in my chest.
"i think so." he grins and floats over to me. his tail wraps around me making me unable to move as he smells my hair and clothes. "what are you doing?"
"making sure i remember your sent incase i'm lost and need to find you." he says casually. he takes my hat and puts it on his head while playing with my hair in between his fingers. he puts his forehead on mine and looks my deeply in the eyes. he moves to my neck and places a small nip.
"ow!"
"sorry i'll be gentle!" he purrs. he bites me again drawling blood. before i can react he cleans the wound. he lets me go.
"god- that hurt!"
"i'm sorry Craig." he lowers his head in embarrassment.
"it's fine." i go to my room Tweek following curiously.
"where are you going?" i point of the door labeled "CRAIGS ROOM FUCK OFF" he nods slightly confused. i walk in and sit down on my bed the drag of sleep very welcoming. i yawn slightly.
"Tweek."
"yes Craig?"
"come here." he does so quickly, i pull him to me in an embrace pulling him into bed with me. his face is slightly red as i sleepily nuzzle into his neck.
"what are you doing?" his voice low and curious.
"i want to sleep and i don't know where Stripe is so your my cuddle buddy." he raised his eyebrow.
"what's Stripe?"
"guinea pig stuffie." he nods and gets comfy i fall asleep to him stroking my hair.
