Kingdom Of Demônios {4halo AU} {Complete}

Humans Expire

"Are you really set on that one?" Mouse asked as Bad helped her style her hair the next morning. "You want the one that wants you the least? You're being a total incubus."

"I'm not an incubus!" Bad clipped Mouse's hair up. "I just think Forever is the cutest out of them all."

"He can't speak English."

"I can't speak Portuguese."

"Exactly... I know we can learn, but it'll take a long time to become fluent. And this arrangement needs to happen soon or mother will be annoyed."

"Can you just be supportive? I think I can win him over."

"You have my support. And if you can get him to love you, you can have my fucking solid gold egg."

"Heh, deal." Bad giggled, stopping abruptly as a scream echoed down the hall. "What the fudge?" Bad ran down the hall, but slowed down when he saw what was going on.

Skeppy sat on the floor, chewing an article of clothing. Forever stood a healthy distance away, shouting. "O que é essa coisa?! O que é essa coisa?!" {What is that thing?! What is that thing?!}

Bad rushed over and scooped Skeppy up. "Sorry, sorry!" He pulled the shirt out of Skeppy's mouth. "I-is this yours?" Bad gulped, the man was shirtless.

Forever snatched the shirt back and pointed to Skeppy. "Que criatura demoníaca é essa?!" {What demonic creature is that?!}

"Don't be mad, he's just a little guy." Bad nuzzled his face into Skeppy's soft hair. "This is my Skeppy, have you ever seen a Skeppy before?" Bad realized Forever didn't understand him. He pointed to Skeppy. "Isso é Skeppy." {It's Skeppy.}

"Skeppy?" Forever reached out towards the diamond. Skeppy blinked slowly, not a thought behind his eyes. He stuck his tongue out as Forever pat him on the head like he was a puppy. "Isto é estranho..." {This is strange...}

Bad let Skeppy crawl onto his shoulder and rest. "Seguro." {Safe.}

Forever crossed his arms and started walking back to the infirmary where him and his friends were being held.

Mouse came into the hall. "What's going on?"

"Mouse, I saw him shirtless." Bad whispered.

"Who?"

"Forever."

"Oh...I guess there's no changing your mind now."

Bad poked the diamond on his shoulder. "But I don't think he likes my Skeppy."

Eggpire disturbed her son's quiet reading time with a loud knock. She entered the room with a specific task. "Well then, did you choose one?"

"I don't think any of them like me." Bad closed his book.

"Well which one do you like?"

Bad looked down timidly. "I suppose I like Forever. He intrigues me."

"Fair enough." Eggpire rubbed her forehead. "But you'll be the one dealing with him. He's been nothing but a pest. Just now he hit one of the guards and I was gracious enough to not have his head bitten off by a hound."

"He's scared, mother. He doesn't know what's going on, the codes have him confused. And he can't understand much of what we're saying."

"I suppose..." Eggpire put her hands on her hips. "So you'll marry him then? Pick a date and I'll set up for the wedding rituals."

"Wait, wait. I can't just marry him unless he's okay with it. It wouldn't be fair to force him. Especially since demon weddings are more...rituals than actual weddings."

"Well how long do you expect to spend trying to make a captive love you?"

"He's not a captive, we're helping them."

"Right, sure." Eggpire stepped back. "A month, you better work fast. Humans expire." She left the library.

"Oh gosh..." Bad put his book down and held Skeppy close to his chest. "How can I do this without feeling terrible?"

Skeppy made a little Nmmya sound and started chewing a button on Bad's shirt.

The door to the library swung open again and a guard pushed Forever and Bagi into the room. "Your mother said the month starts now, I suppose you know what that means." The guard bowed and left.
