My Neighborly Demon (Eustass KidxReader)

Cucumber

The fall came with the coming of October.

Eustass Kid had been busy between the weeks, let it be him looking for new parts, making deals or traveling far to meet up with clients. You barely saw him and you understandably thought nothing bad of the busy co-business owner doing his due diligence.

However: within two weeks- three incidents happened.

The first incident you were in for a surprise when you saw Killer lift your sofa like if it was feather weight while he was vacuuming the food particles that he saw fall down underneath it.

"Killer."

"Yes?"

"That's a sofa."

The silence that followed was a little unnerving. With an awkward chuckle, you walked towards the sofa he just dropped to the floor carefully and tried to budge it up, but to no avail. This piece of furniture was heavier for you.

"This is at least 250-300 pounds, Killer."

"I had a pre-workout before this?"

The glare that you gave him that made him sigh and lifted the sofa once more in his hand, getting the remaining filth out of the way.

"I already know about Kid. He confirmed that you, Heat and Wire are the same."

"Not technically the same but sure" he explained, sitting down on the once-more-grounded-sofa and patting the seat next to him.

"How much of demonology do you know of?"

"Not a whole lot." You whispered as you took a seat next to the blonde. You had a hunch at what type of demon Kid might be but that was it. "All I know is that from what I gathered- Kid seems to be a demon? Certainly more incorrigible than the things I've read they do but that's pretty much it."

"Okay, you're off to a good start. Technically he's an incubus, and a powerful one at that. But he was raised on Earth's plane of existence. He could be considered a Wrath dweller just with his attitude and strength alone. The correct term for what Kid could be is a son of the Prince of Lust." Killer explained, making you nod and look at your feet. "But horniness aside, he resembles more a child of Wrath, now that I think about it."

"What are you?"

"Cambion." The blonde said with a smile. You looked at him for more details and he chuckled. "It means I'm Half Demon-Half Human. From who? I don't know and I really don't care. Not very liked between all parties, though. " he finished, sighing as he rests his back comfortably against the couch cushion. "Before you ask: I found Kid scrounging some trash when he was barely a brat."

"Pfft- I can't imagine him being a good kid." You giggled, looking at your phone to see if you had any messages and so far none.

"Yeah, that's what I get for adopting a kid being a kid myself." You turned to look at Killer, who seemed to smile softly as if he remembered a fond memory. "I have all his embarrassing teenage dirtbag moments."

"You have to dish."

"If you make dinner, maybe I'll regale you with a tale."

You nodded, grinning from ear to ear as for some reason, you knew Killer was going to talk more than he thought he would about a scruffy little boy named Eustass Kid if you made his favorite pasta dish.

"-and then someone said that he had tulips for hair. After beating the dude up, he wore a beanie for at least a week."

"Is this before dyeing his hair blue or after?"

"That's what prompted the blue hair dye!"

You couldn't stop giggling. It's been at least an hour since you and Killer had sat down and made his pasta dinner. He just kept firing these memories between him and Kid that it was impossible to stop- even if you wanted to.
