The Demon And The Angel | Brypu Cult AU

Chapter 15

Bryan's POV

With everything going on as of recently, I was taking any chance to get out of the house and get some fresh air.

Normally, Inpu would leave with me, but instead of going with me like he normally did, he sent a few of the maids with me, which I found strange, but decided to shake it off and just go on my normal walk.

I was just walking around the city, not really going far from where the maids were, but I felt like eyes were constantly on me.

The maids were sort of blocking me so people couldn't view me, but my wings didn't make it easy for me to hide from people.

All I could do was keep looking at where I wanted to go, but this felt weird, I guess it was because Inpu wasn't with me so people were willing to look at me since they wouldn't have an instant demise.

Despite the attention I brought to myself, I was enjoying the time outside, it was a nice day after all.

We made our way back home around two hours after we left, but when I entered the house, it was very quiet and no one seemed to be in the house.

I began to walk around the house and look for anything that told me where someone was.

The maids and guards were all in the break room, so I decided to ask them if they knew where Inpu was, but all they said was that they didn't know and to check upstairs.

After doing a full check around the first floor, I finally made it upstairs where I found candles lining the hallway that led to the bedroom.

Not knowing what to expect, I hesitantly followed it, and when I entered the bedroom, I saw a small handful of items on the dresser and more candles.

"Inpu..? Are you there? I swear if you're leading me into a ritual-"

"I'm not, I'm not, this is for something else"

"Where are you?"

"Bathroom, I'm just finishing up with something"

"And what would that be?"

"Just wait on the bed for me, I'll be out in a minute"

Not knowing what to expect, I did what Inpu told me to do and just waited.

After a few minutes, he told me to close my eyes while he came over to me.

I felt him sit behind me before he started to gently rub the base of my wings.

"What are you doing~?"

"You've been on edge recently, I want you to relax but it seems like whatever you seem to do adds to your stress, so I figured I'd at least relieve you of some stress"

"And how do you plan on doing that?"

"I was thinking I massage your back while we cuddle, that way you feel more comfortable then you normally would"

"That sounds nice, may I ask why you needed the more romantic environment though?"

"Because its nice, plus it sort of adds to the calm"

"You're not wrong, I would've thought you had other plans in mind"

"I thought about it, but I'm saving that for later~"

"Later? We get married in a month and a half, still a good amount of time for that"

"Yeah, well, I'm starting to get a bit impatient~"

"In due time, my love, I want you to enjoy me on a special occasion"

Inpu began to let out slight growls before he began to massage my back, making sure to be very careful around my wings.

It felt nice, something I wasn't used to feeling when I was touched on my back, and once he finished, I just leaned into his chest.

"You ok?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Something seems off about you, mostly as I was touching around your wings, did you have issues with your wings before?"

"Many people in the cult, mostly the teachers and priests, would touch around my wings and make comments like how they'd cut them off and sell them for money, so my back is a very sensitive spot"

"Why have you never told me that before?"

"Because you've touched my wings slightly, never for long periods of time, when I've placed your hands near my wings, its been on a pressure point where I don't feel pain"

"Does my touch make it feel better?"

"Well, sort of, the anxiety of something happening is still there, but I trust you to not mess with my wings the wrong way"

"My job is to make sure you feel safe and protected, speaking of which, how was your walk this morning"

"It was fine, but I couldn't help but notice tons of people were staring at me"

"Good stares or bad stares?"

"Most of the ones I made eye contact with seemed more in awe, but I'd be lying if said I didn't notice a few that seemed more sinister"

"Any idea what they look like? I can pay them a visit and make sure they know to never do that again"

"I'd ask the maids, they got a better look at them over me since they were trying to hide me"

"Alright, that will be my task tomorrow morning then, any ideas on what you want for dinner?"

"Its your turn to pick what we eat, so don't ask me"

"Why do you put the task on me? I just want to watch you for hours, not worry about what we eat"

"Then just do what you normally have the maids cook whenever you feel like this"

"Yeah, but I'm not in the mood for red meat tonight"

"Who are you and what did you do with Inpu?"

"What do you mean?"

"You always prefer red meat, what changed today?"

"I've been in a sea food mood, I figured lobster and shrimp"

"I'd never complain about that, so if you feel like having the maids make us sea food for dinner, go ahead"

"You are very easy to win over"

"I never knew anything apart from the cult which was just listen and pay attention, so if you suggest anything, there is a good chance I'll agree"

"And that is what worries me, one of these days I'm going to offer something completely random just to see if you actually agree despite it being completely random"

"Yeah, yeah, go make sure dinner is being made, then maybe we can start a movie before dinner and finish it after"

Inpu perked his ears up before running out of the room to make sure we'd have dinner.

I stretched out my wings a bit before I made my way downstairs so I could put on a movie.
