For a Friend +sope+

20. Work

Hoseoks wants him around just as badly as he does and even if he didn't, Hoseok signed his soul over to him. There's no way out now.

Days had gone by with the duo in as close to domestic bliss as being with Satan Can get. Hoseok was happier than ever as he sat by Yoongi's side on the bed watching movies or anything else. Currently, he was sat on a chair next to Yoongi's art desk, watching as he crafted a little human out of clay.

"Is this for work or for fun?" Hoseok asked.

"Little bit of both," Yoongi replied with a chuckle as he mischievously worked, molding the clay in his hands and adding on to the little base figure he'd just made. He was quick and skilled, almost finished with the basic points in a flash. Hoseok was mesmerized as he watched him work so efficiently. Yoongi took a small tool and carved features and details onto the figure. What takes skilled sculptors hours, days, or even weeks, was completed in merely a few minutes. Though, in their defense, Yoongi has been doing this for thousands of years. He was almost done sculpting, only needing to smooth out a few edges and viola. A little figure of a woman sat in Yoongi's palm. She had an expression of annoyance on her face and she was wearing a baggy hoodie. "Cool, huh?" Hoseok leaned in to get a closer look, eyes shining as he admired the art. Suddenly, fire flickered to life in Yoongi's palm, engulfing the bottom of the figure and surrounding it. Hoseok yelped and flinched away with heavy breaths. Yoongi chuckled at his reaction.

"Hey!" Hoseok whined. The soft flickering of the fire died down and vanished, leaving a toasted white figure in its wake. Hoseok hesitantly leaned in again, afraid Yoongi might pull that fire truck again. "What was that?"

Yoongi held the figure out for Hoseok to grab. He smiled watching Hoseok gasp in wonder as he held the figure in his own hands and inspected it curiously. "I had to fire it up. It means I have to bake it for it to harden. So I just bake those motherfuckers myself usually, makes things go by faster."

Hoseok nodded, handing back the figure and looking at Yoongi in awe. "Now what happens?"

"I let it cool off and work on something else." Yoongi said. "Like making a cat."

"A cat?" Hoseok asked.

Yoongi hummed as he grabbed another clump of clay and got to work, pulling at the chunk to draw out some legs and a head. "Being Satan can be lonely. I never cared about that before but then I met you and being lonely felt like the worst pain imaginable." Hoseok felt fuzzy hearing those words but nodded for him to go on. "So in the event i wanted company, sometimes I'd make a cat. There's like, two or three that roam the building. I just think they're kinda neat." As he talked, he was almost finished with the cat already, only grabbing a tool to carve a few bits before smoothing them over with his finger and he was done. "I'm gonna do the fire thing now." He warned this time, a smirk on his face as he recalled startling Hoseok just a few minutes ago. He held the cat in his palm and fwoosh! ; the fire sprung to life around the figure, crackling and sending sparks floating up. Only a few seconds and it died down again like before, revealing a toasted little animal.

Hoseok followed with his whole head as Yoongi set it down to cool and reached for the first figure he made, the woman. "What's she for?" Hoseok wondered aloud.

Yoongi grabbed a paint brush and opened a built in drawer, pulling out a paint palette with a lid and popping it open. It looked very used, like a painter was using it every single day. It didn't look gross, just doing it's intended job well. Yoongi dipped the brush in a color and got to painting. "A crazy ex girlfriend. She's going to ruin some guys dating life. Smash his windshield when he breaks up with her, a real crazy ex, not the regular ones that guys claim are crazy because they won't take disrespect. I'm talking this lady is going to mess you up." He painted in silence for a few more minutes and the fire blew up again in Yoongi's hand, baking the figure again until the entire outside became a bit glossy. "Well, time to send her out!" Yoongi chuckled and closed his fist around it, the figure began to move on its own once Yoongi opened his palm back up. The figure stood up and wiggled its tiny fingers. Yoongi gave it no time and only sent his arm up and out, the figure sprouting scaly wings like a dragon and flying off. Hoseok stared with his jaw wide open. Yoongi laughed and used his finger to nudge his mouth shut. "Close your mouth or I'll put it to use."
