Shroom x Salsa [Demonic love] (On Hold)

Chapter 1: The meeting

Seventy million years ago our normal time. Mechikabura, a makaioshin, put his army together. Corrupting himself and different people of other races. The dark empire was born. The demons first met in the dark demonrealm. In Mechikabura's tower. His most trusted underling's were: Demigra, Putine, Gravy, Robelu, Chamel, Shroom, Salsa, Towa and Dabura. Everyone was gifted with an unique power.

In Mechikabura's tower. In the dark demonrealm. The demons met in the throne room. Mechikabura sat on his throne. The underlings stood around in the room. They silenced and waited for instructions.

"Since everyone seems to be here now.."
Mechikabura started his welcome speech.
"I know, some of you may not know each other but you have enough time to greet each other. First, everyone of you should make yourself at home here. It's the demonrealm. I prepared houses for everyone of you. Which one each of you take and how you design the interior is up to you. Second to all, there are rules and duties. They may change from time to time. Depending on how I feel. And third is, if anyone of you ever visit the mortal's world, please, do as much chaos as possible there."
He spoke softly, yet with a deep voice. Mechikabura told them the rules and duties. After that he told them to leave for now. Make themselves homes.

Chamel, as Demigra's student, moved in with Demigra. The house next to them was taken by Robelu. In some way, she admired Demigra. Towa liked the lake. She and her brother Dabura moved into a house near the lake. Gravy moved into a house far away from the others. He quitely enjoyed being alone. As did Salsa. Salsa moved into a cabin in the forest. However, Shroom moved into the house near the forest. And Putine moved into the other house next to Demigra. To Robelu's trouble.

Mechikabura left them time to get used to live in the demonrealm. Everyone seemed to be ok with each other. However, Salsa was rarely seen. They just saw him when they had a meeting with the dark king.

"Hey, Salsa. Are you busy today? Why won't we spend some time together?"
Putine took the initiative to invite Salsa to a dinner. Salsa silenced for a moment.
"I am not busy. But I am rather alone."
He answered and quickly rejected the idea of the demoness. The little man walked off to his own house. In the forest.

Even though it was the demonrealm it was quite peaceful there. Something he needed. Time to think. He leaned against a tree near his house and slid down to sit. He closed his eyes. The rustle of the leaves calmed him down. The fresh breeze of the wind almost put him to sleep. The demon is not used to being invited. Maybe he should have accepted? He shook his head and shook this thought away. It was probably a joke of her anyway. Putine was pretty, cute and .. lovely. There was no way she would like to hang out with him. Despite his past. Before Mechikabura found him Salsa lived in a place with people who actually bullied him. He was still a kid. Somehow. Rumors spread. And with that the hate towards the young man. He saw it as an escape from this. He was eternally grateful to Mechikabura. But what he wasn't sure about is.. Would he want revenge on all those people for the humiliation he had to live through?

"Hey."
A voice called out to Salsa. Salsa opened his eyes and jumped up. He saw.. Shroom. Shroom was one of the cooler guys. Not someone who would just befriend anyone. He sat down next to Salsa.
"You seem lonely alot. Is lord Mechikabura the only one you trust? We are allies now."
Salsa sighed, slightly annoyed. He felt uncomfortable near Shroom. It was like Shroom felt sorry for him. Salsa stood up.
"Are we? I am going inside. You can come, too. If you want."
He walked inside. Shroom followed him. He looked around.
"Hm. Nice house."
Shroom sat on the couch and put his feet on the table.

"So, Salsa. You are calm and quiet. Do you have reasons for that?"
Shroom asked. His usual grin faded as he looked serious at the demon.
"I don't want to talk about it."
Salsa put a glass with lemonade on the table for Shroom. Which he grabbed and chugged down. Salsa leaned against the wall.
"I understand. You know. I had a father and siblings. But my father despised me because I was different from my siblings. They were his little angels. I was just the missbuilt son. Nothing worth. I am glad myself to be here."
Shroom talked about why he decided to join Mechikabura. It seemed no one of them were really aware that Mechikabura corrupted them.

"I lived in a village. In an orphanage. There was a boy who spread rumors about me. For example a wrong reason why I wear this hoodie. The people in the village avoided me for that. More or less did they bully me."
Salsa told his story. Shroom sat up.
"Was it so difficult? So, what rumors?"
"Well.. I had.. an unpleasent problem."
Salsa's face turned a bit red.
"Oh. An emotion."
Shroom chuckled.
"The lemonade is good. Did you make it yourself?"
He asked. Salsa nodded.
"I have a guestroom. If you want you can stay here for the night.. I am just tired."
Salsa's dog like ears on his blue hoodie twitched slightly.
"Wait.. Your hoodie.. The ears moved."
Shroom mentioned. Indeed, it was weird. Salsa explained, that he is more a dog demon than people would think. This hoodie covers not only his red hair but also his injured ears. With that Salsa walked into his room, leaving Shroom in the living room.
