Odyssey - How To Tame A Demon

Chapter 24: Fistfight in the Dark

Fyo got intrigued by the smaller ones' reactions. "A slug, you looked like a slug" called him again. After a while, Chuuya did not move nor react to the words of the tall guy. Chuuya felt intensely self-conscious about how he looked in general. It may just coincidence that Fyo called him that but the fact that Dazai used to call him that and the fact that the intelligence of the two is not something to underestimate so he repeatedly asked himself whether he really did look like a slug. All his insecurities about his looks resurfaced at that moment.

"Do ...Do I really look like a slug?" Chuuya finally voiced out his thoughts. His face was red his eyes wandering around except for the person he just asked. Chuuya is unsure to himself whether he does look like a slug. "But what if I am" he complained in his thoughts.

Watching the different and changing emotions that dawned on the smaller one Fyo burst out laughing. He was expecting the redhead to be mad or snap at him just like the usual reaction he had but it was different this time and he has to admit the beautiful redhead looks pleasing in his eyes, after all, he is someone who appreciates beauty.

A few moments later Fyo manages to suppress his laughter to that of giggles. And Chuuya finally snaps off his embarrassment and just wants to beat the tall guy to shut him up. "Stop it!"

"Hey! I said stop it" Chuuya warned a little louder.

"I really don't want to be loud at this time, because the auction personnel might be coming and hear us" Fyo answered still suppressing a smile with his hands, but it did not help because an ever bigger smile appeared on Fyo's face while looking at the redhead.

Chuuya not able to contain the annoyance and embarrassment, launches at the tall guy, he intended to hit him with his bag however, Fyo anticipated his attack and blocks the redhead's bag with his own. Unfortunately for Chuuya, because of his sudden step forward to attack, his heels broke. Since wearing shoes for women or high heels shoes are new to Chuuya, it was unexpected to him. It took a few moments for him to realize that he is out of balance. His bag bounce back from Fyo's defense before he could use his ability. The bag was thrown into the water, the ricochet also made Fyo loosen his hold on his own bag. However Fyo manages to save his own bag, but because of its no zipper design, some of its contents including his laptop were also thrown in the water. A few pieces of clothing were the only thing left on the dry ground.

Looking at the dark waters that swallowed his belongings, anger surged in him but closing his eyes he felt rather exhausted. He really needs to find a way how to handle this subordinate of his.

"Argggg" Chuuya lets out his frustration. Good thing he hides the key in his jacket because he will never swim in that sewage water. Calming down Chuuya took his other shoes and breaks the heels, to match the other broken ones. He throws the pointy object into the water.

After a while, they heard footsteps entering the tunnel. "This is bad, we've staled too much time in here"

"Tch if you have moved a little quicker earlier we ..." Chuuya was unable to finish because Fyo shushes him by putting his index finger on his lips. Chuuya smacks the hand on his face. "Tch I could beat them down you know, there not many people to witness anyway" Chuuya whispered

"Yeah and be hunted down for the next days, we don't want that" Fyo replied sarcastically and drag the redhead after taking what was left in his bag. Chuuya was dragged forward where there was a small intersection. Unfortunately, the new road is a dead end where the water flows down. On the side of the wall where there is a small niche that one person could fit, but even if they squeeze themself in there they will be visible to the passerby. The footsteps are getting louder.

Fyo grab the smaller one and pushed him inside "Step in the platform" Fyo instructed. Chuuya was confused "Platform?" Chuuya looks at the bottom of the niche, there is a small stepping block and one more above it that one could sit on. Chuuya steps on the bottom block when suddenly Fyo squeezes his own body inside causing Chuuya to sit on the upper block. Fyo deliberately spreads Chuuya's legs so that he could also fit inside facing the smaller one. Chuuya wants to retaliate but with the many auction personnel passing by their location, he stops himself, at least they now both fit in the small crack in the wall and get away with the key quietly. "This will be over soon" he chanted in his mind.

But what Fyo did was not going to help him. Chuuya suddenly felt a hand caress his legs. Chuuya's lips twitches, this is not going to be good for him.

...

Inside the dark niche in the tunnel, Chuuya was throwing punches at the tall guy trying to knock him off, but Fyo managed to avoid them by either deflecting them or touching Chuuya's body. To his behind, his thighs, his hips, legs, and anywhere where his long hands could reach and thus making Chuuya uncomfortable and making his guard down while the sound of their enemy footsteps could be heard in their hiding spot.

The smile on Fyo's lips never left while Chuuya has been all red due to anger and the amount of restraint he is mustering. If it were not for the mission this tunnel has been destroyed.

When all the enemies had left, only Fyo released the smaller one and stepped back to the tunnel road. Chuuya with a scowl followed him.

"Pervert!"

"What can I do when there is a beautiful redhead in front of me" Fyo shrugs him.

"I'm a man, damn it, can't you see that, or are you blind?" Chuuya almost shouted but remembered that the enemy was still around.

"Yes, I am blinded but your pretty face, pretty chibi"

"Oh come on enough with crappy lines," said Chuuya to the smiling Fyo then walks ahead.

"Where are you going?" He heard the tall guy.

"Over here"

Chuuuya was so annoyed he didn't want to talk to him anymore, just the sight of him angers him therefore he walked ahead.

"Insufferable Jackass" He curses at the tall guy.

He already lost count of how many times he had to calm himself throughout the mission. Unlike Dazai, Fyo is not challenging him, its Fyo's advances and childish behavior towards him that annoy him the most. It's like his dealing with a perverted four years old!
