Body & Soul

Chapter two The Contract

Sollux sat frozen in place. The hairs on the back of his neck stood up. The very sound of their voice was infected with a sinister evil that sent chills up and down his spine. A malicious chuckle was drawn from the shadow , seeming to find Sollux's fear quite amusing. A sudden subtle brush of cool air and the swooshing of the shadows wings put him on edge.
"Hm, I don't get it." "You summon me wwithout fear yet, wwhen I showw up your pissing your pants like those small little heathens you call children." A short silence while the creature seemed to be contemplating. Vriska stepped back as it smiled at her terror stricken face before watching her run out. "Wwhats wworse, is that you're so terrified you can't evven look at me." "I don't knoww howw you plan to fulfill our little agreement wwithout looking at me so groww a pair and face me." "I havven't got all day." Fear rose in his chest, the foreboding smirk of the unholy creature digging into his back like knives. Taking a deep breath and preparing himself for anything. Sollux slowly turned to face the demon who'd been staring into his soul for the past five minutes just licking his lips. "Ah, I see, wwith such a delicious looking soul like that you must be a tease. No fair." They pouted with a puppy dog look. Sollux took in his features, the black vest and white blouse underneath with the sleeves rolled up, a dark metal cuffs on each wrist showing his prisoner like roll as a demon, and blue and black striped jeans he wore, and black shoes. A quick flap of his wings brushing the dust from them drew Sollux's attention. The bat-like wings were a tint of purple and maroon, though torn at the bottom they still looked useful. Sollux's eyes traveled up finding another metal cuff around his neck with the Gemini symbol ingraved in it. His sharp looking features were rather intimidating, and like the red eyes weren't enough to scare anyone as he flashed his fangs. His hair slicked back with the odd yet slightly fitting purple streak in his hair.

Being only slightly taller than Sollux, he stared down on him, his pupils sharp like a predator about to strike while he tapped his cheek with his clawed finger. "I knoww I'm absolutely stunning but you don't havve to stare, it's extremely rude." "I mean the least you could do is say something-"
"A-Are you real?" They cocked and eyebrow grinning wider. "Wwhy wwouldnt I be?" "Oh, and just for future reference, my name is Eridan and I'm here to provide my special servvices." Eridan stepping towards him, gently gripped his chin turning his head side to side examining his prey. Sollux flinched, suprised to see that his touches weren't harmful. "I see no bite marks or any real sign you'vve been wwith a demon before." Sollux swallowed the fear building up in his chest, opening his mouth to speak. "II-" "Of course I already knoww you havven't though seeing that it's part of our deal for me to knoww evverythin' about you." Seeing something swing toward him out of the corner of his eye, Eridan's hand flew out capturing it. Karkat stood there being held in place by Eridan. "SOLLUX RUN!" Eridan wrapped his fingers around Sollux's neck to keep him from escaping. The others trying to comprehend the fact that Sollux actually summoned a demon.
"A preacher's son?" "Heh, drop it, tiny." Eridan held his wrist in a bruising grip. "IM NOT TINY YOU FUCKER!" "Aww wwhat a temper." Karkat protest, struggling against his hold on him. "LET ME GO!" Eridan squeezed his wrist tighter, twisting it, rendering him to drop the small knife. "GAH!" "Hmph, cool dowwn wwill ya'?" Throwing him on the ground rather roughly, Karkat glared up at him. "Sit boy." Eridan commanded him as if he were a dog. Unarmed and in pain, Karkat stayed put. "Good boy~."

Eridan taunted. Turning back to Sollux he let go of his neck. "Don't evven think about running, I'll find you either wway, just another side effect to our deal and until I finish my job your soul is bound to me~." Eridan finished, moving close to his face. "What are you doiing?" Eridan frowned. "You really don't knoww wwhat kinda demon you summoned, do you?" Sollux swallowed hard, instant regret filling him. "You're and idiot." Eridan whispered, breathing on his neck. He snickered stepping back and walking behind him. "Oh? You havve more friends?" Eridan waved politely. "Hello there." Feferi gulped lightly waving her shaking hand. "Pretty little thin' you are." "Maybe once I'm done wwith your friend here, I wwouldnt mind making a contract wwith you~." (Oh my god he's so pervy X3) Eridan eyed her seductively gently brushing his nails across her chin. "Leave her alone." Sollux snapped, gathering the demon's attention. "Are you evven awware wwhat I am?" "You're a demon." "Correct, but I'm not your normal evveryday demon desguising myself amongst men, I'm and incubi." "A what?" Sollux stood before him absolutely puzzled. "An incubi, wwe're rumored to kill you through repeated amounts of sexual intercourse and over time you gradually loose pieces of your soul?" Poor Sollux just looked uncomfortable now. Eridan facepalmed. "Look II diid not a2k for a male demon pro2tiitute!" "Excuse me!" "Howw dare you compare me to a prostitute wwhen I am obviously far more sexier~" Eridan flaunted his body. "Also you should really think about reading the summons before actually commensing the ritual." "II diidnt thiink thii2 would actually work!"

Eridan shrugged sneaking behind Sollux while he had a small panic attack. Eridan wrapped his arms around his waist pulling him to his chest. "So, howw long are you gonna make me wwait hon~?" "Okay, no no!" Sollux untangled his hands turning to face him. "You need to leave!" "My dad fiind2 out II 2ummoned a demon iinto thii2 hou2e and II'm dead!" Eridan tsked. "I'll kill you a lot faster then he wwill." "And I can't leavve, I'm bound to you until you die it's part of our contract unfortunately, wwhen you dreww the circle you dreww a contract in wwhich you signed wwith your blood and therefore until I kill you wwe are bound." Sollux sighed. "II can't beliieve thii2-II had a whole liife goiing and now-!" "Shhhshshhhh, c'mon Sol it's not that bad, plus-" Eridan crept up placing his hands on Sollux's chest. "The make-outs and sex wwith an incubi are to die for." "II hate you-waiit wa2 that a pun?" "I dunno, but if I say 'yes' wwill this lead to an argument and make-up-sex?" Eridan leaned in. "Get out." "Nope, sorry you're stuck wwith me." Sollux looked behind him seeing that Feferi and Aradia had already snuck out, leaving him alone with the lilin-demon. Then again he couldn't blame them. "II'm goiing to 2leep." "Wwell I'm coming wwith you." Sollux made his way down the ladder waiting for Eridan then folding the ladder up. "So wwhere's your room?" "Follow me." "Okay." Eridan walked with a smile on his face, looking at the various photos and things on the hallway walls. Figuring he'd break the akward silence being formed, he spoke. "So, any questions?" "Yeah, aren't you 2uppo2ed to be an 2ucubu2?" "I can change into a female, howwevver being male is the closest I get to feeling like myself so I prefer to stay like this." "I don't look the same evverytime I meet one of my clients." Sollux nodded thinking to himself as they entered his room. Plopping down into his bed, a cool brush of air relaxed him. Eridan made his way in minding his wings and the doorway. "Cozy." Eridan walked over to the other side of the bed. His wings recoiled themselves into his back creating eary cracking sounds, allowing him to remove the clothing of his upper half. "What wa2 that?" "Wwhat?" "IIt 2ounded liike you were breaking 2omeone2 arm." "Wwell my wwings wwont exactly be comfortable lying dowwn like that." Sollux sat up. "You're 2leepiing on the floor." "Wwhat?!" Eridan whipped his head around. "You summoned me so noww you must take care of me!" He pouted an crossed his arms. "Ugh, fiine." "But DONT.touch.me!" "Meh meh meh meh." Eridan mocked. Sollux turned over on his side. Eridan lied down on his side facing Sollux's back, his lips forming a scowl. He moved close cuddling Sollux. "I don't givve up that easily, Sol." "Do you wan to diie?" "You can't kill me." "What iif II 2mack you wiith the biible?" Eridan chuckled softly. "Don't wworry Sol, I knoww you're shy so wwe'll start wwith cuddles." "Well enjoy thii2 whiile iit la2t2 becau2e thii2 ii2 the only tiime II'll let you near me wiith con2ent becau2e II'm cold." "Alright, just make sure not to make me wwait to long, or I may havve to take you by force~." "II wiill 2trangle you." "Shhhhh, goodnight Sollux."
