(Content; demons doing demon things, floof chapter!)

I admired the way hyunwoo used his powers.

He was skilled but of course he was, the seven devils of hell didn't have that learning curve that almost all demons have at some point.

They were trained at a young age, been given the best teachers around so that their demon powers would unlock at a timely manner, not to mention their ties with their demon god ancestors.

And then there's me, a regular demon with no god ties, approaching 25 and still can't move a can with my mind.

*Why I am so down and out about this anyways? There's tons of demons with powers not unlocked yet, clearly when it happens to me I'll know!*

*Some of my clients are like that! And what do I tell them?*

I was hovering around the house, I couldn't full on fly, only float and hover, yes I could read other demons minds and speak to them using telepathy but...

*Every demon can do that. You're practically born with it.*

I sink down onto the floor, face down on the wooden boards.

I let out a powerful groan, "IM SICK OF THIS."

"Sick of what?" Hyunwoo was behind me, I turn around, laying on my back, "Hyunwoo..." I pout, "How old were you when your powers unlocked?"

He thinks back, "I was 7." I lay flat, "No, no, NO!"

I whine, "My powers aren't unlocked and I'm 24! This is so... ugh..."

He kneels down to me, "Hey, don't be upset. It isn't that uncommon for someone our age to not have their powers unlocked yet." I pout again nodding, "I guess."

I sit up, "But... if I'm being honest here, you look so cool using your powers! Even though you're not showing your horns or tail... I have both and all I can do is hover."

He raises my chin and smiles, "Don't beat yourself up shortie. I find it adorable when you hover."

He hugs me, his fingers lightly combing my curls, my tail wags hitting the floor a couple times.

"But." He puts me on his lap, "If you want to, I could teach you how to fly." My eyes widen, "Really?" He nods, "Really."

"When I learned it was very intense for no reason whatsoever when thinking back it shouldn't have" He sighs, rubbing my thigh, "So, I'll teach you but in the way I wish I was back then."

I nod, "Okay... yes I'd like that." He smiles, "Alright."

He gets up, "Okay let's go." I raise my eyebrow, "n-now?!" He nods, "Yeah."

"Unless you're not ready."

*I have been pouting about this all weekend I might as well..*

"Okay..." I put my hand in his, "b-but be gentle..." he smirks, chuckling sinfully, "Alright baby, I'll save the roughness for later then."

*This motherfucker.*

We get outside on his deck, it was a bit chilly but not as cold as it could get in hell, knowing it doesn't snow here.

He undoes his magic, showing me his tail and wings, "Okay baby, let's see those pretty little wings of yours again."

"Why must you make everything sexual?" I groan as my wings pop out, "Oh no reason..." I see his tail wagging and I roll my eyes.

The wind blows through his long black hair as he stares at me, I gulp waiting for what he was about to say next.

"Show me how you usually fly." He says, "You mean when I hover?" He nods, "Okay."

I get into my usual position and I start to float a little bit off the ground, that's what always happens, I didn't hover for that long either.

"Try standing up straight."

"While hovering?!"

"Yes."

I attempted but it was a bit difficult as my wings hadn't been used to that kind of weight on them.

When I succeeded I noticed I was still hovering but more higher than usual, I smile, "I did it!"

Hyunwoo looks at me curiously, "Okay you can stop now."

I float back down, "Is there something wrong?" He rubs his chin, "Yes."

"I believe it's your magic that's making you fly." He says, "I never noticed it but your wings don't even move an inch."

My jaw drops, "Wha? How is that possible? I thought my magic isn't unlocked yet? How in the world has it be making me hover this whole time?"

"Well how long have you've been hovering for?"

"Since I was 16." I start to think, "It was right after my beloved cat bingles died... I was really upset... but then I started floating and suddenly I felt so happy."

He smiles as I continue, "But I couldn't control it at the time, I didn't fully know how it worked until I was 18."

Hyunwoo steps closer to me, "And you never noticed your wings never flapped?" I nod, "I was just happy I could fly..."

He caresses my cheek, "So... that's out of the question, I guess I have to teach you how to fly manually."

"Manually? I'm confused what do you mean?" He sighs, "Your magic isn't locked away Cheyanne. It just spread to different places, this can happen as my brother went through it, I'm gonna have to reteach you things on top of helping you fly."

I gulp, "Okay... is there a but?" He smiles, putting his hands on my shoulders, "No, honestly this might be a breeze since your powers aren't locked away."

I let out a sigh of relief, mostly because my powers aren't locked away, but also I wasn't sure what any of this means.

"Can you explain more?" I look up at him, "If they aren't locked away what are they doing?"

Hyunwoo sighs, "I'm not really sure. There's not scientific consensus on what the rest of your demon powers could be doing, but I'm here to help you in any way I can."

He smiles at me, "You'll be lifting those cans in no time baby."

I raise my eyebrow, "Did you read my damn mind again hyunwoo?" He smiles, "Maybe, maybe not, you'll never know."

We get back inside and I stop him in his tracks, "Did you know about any of this?" He raises his eyebrow, "Yes and no."

"I didn't know you thought your powers were hidden because the few times I saw you hover I thought you were using them, it was only today you told me and only today I got a look at you and realized the truth."

I nod, "Doesn't seem like you're lying." He grins, "Why would I lie about that of all things?" I giggle, "I don't know! I don't understand you sometimes hyun."

We walk downstairs and he turns me around, "It'll be alright, besides you have an attractive tall demon teacher to help you, that doesn't sound that bad."

I chuckle, "You know you can't fuck your students." He turns his head, "What if I'm your tutor instead?" I shake my head, "You're a mess."

We decided to start tomorrow with trying to get me to move a can, I could tell this would be an interesting couple of months.
