"Are you an incubus equivalent or a succubus equivalent?"

"Ex-fucking-scuse me?"

"Jisung, I'm sorry. Let me handle my friend here." Jaemin apologized, taking Renjun to the side. He hissed at him and held onto his shoulder. "Man, don't ask Jisung that. They're not a girl or a boy, bruh." He explained, Renjun furrowing his eyebrows.

"I apologize, but I know enough about human anatomy to know that a human is either born as an incubus or succubus equivalent. Being neither makes no sense."

"It doesn't have to make sense, dude. They're neither, don't question it."

"But how-"

"Shush. They're neither one. Don't ask them that again or I guarantee either them or Chenle will rip your teeth out. Understand?"

Renjun was silent and Jaemin walked them back over to the bench. Jisung narrowed their eyes at Renjun and flattened out their skirt, Chenle holding on of their hands.

"What's with the incubus/succubus thing anyways? That's fucking weird. Came outta nowhere."

"Well you see-"

Jaemin clapped a hand over Renjun's mouth before he could say something stupid. "He studies demons. That's, uh, how we met! On Discord!"

"Ha! Weirdos." Chenle remarked, rubbing his hand gently against Jisung's. "Just don't tell Church Boy over there."  He pointed across the yard at Mark Lee, sitting in the grass reading to himself. The others stared at him before returning their gaze to their little group.

"He has the fattest crush on Lee Donghyuck. Hyuck might as well be a demon his damn self!" Jeno replied snidely, the others laughing. Renjun shifted in his seat.

"For a church kid, he's awfully gay." Jisung whispered, pulling their hair back in a bun. "It's sort of funny."

"Christian perception of Heaven and Hell is quite amusing. I've never met a soul sent to my realm for being a homosexual, usually it's murder or perhaps infidelity." Renjun blurted out, Jaemin spitting out his Pepsi. 

The others looked at him silently and confused before Jaemin nervously added "Because! Erm, he studies demons and the perception of religion! Duh!"

Chenle rolled his eyes and opened his phone. "Yeah, whatever. Anyways, I'm throwing the sickest party on the 18th. Gonna be at my house, bring swim suits and alcohol."

"Chenle, you're in 9th grade. You're not drinking any kind of alcohol." Jeno put his foot down and Chenle groaned.

"Boooo! Jeno's being a prude! Jaemin, tell him to stop!" Chenle whined and Jaemin, placing his head on Jaemin's shoulders.

"Chenle, no drinking." Jaemin repeated, Chenle groaning.

"You know, you're no fun!"

The bell rang and Jisung jumped, their eyes widening comically wide. Chenle helped them up from the bench and the couple headed to sixth period together.

"Are they in love, sir? They seem to understand the abstract concept of human love..." Renjun trailed off, watching them in awe. Jaemin perked up, only half hearing the question.

"Huh?"

"I asked if your two friends understood the abstract concept of human romantic love and if said feelings were reciprocated between them." Renjun droned, Jaemin blushing.

"I think they're in love, as much as freshman can be. They're like, four years old, in my brain. To me, they're too young to probably understand love."

"What about you? Are you in love? Do you understand the abstract concept of romantic human love, sir?"

Jaemin was taken aback. "M-Maybe. I get it, I just... haven't found someone to really love."

And Jaemin had a list of people in mind, but why would he admit that to the thing that he'd only met a day ago?
