TRIGGER WARNING: BLOOD

I squirmed out of Joji 1's grip, backing away.

"Joji (2) was right about you... you're a demon."

"Aw, come on... I'm not that bad. Just a little... off the rails as they say." He smirked.

Tell me why the fuck my thirsty ass finds this kinda attractive. I'm the insane one here.

"That's an understatement. You just threatened to kill yourself if I left."

"Well, I'd rather kill him than kill myself, but it's less work that way."

"Why do you talk about each other as if you're two separate people!?"

"Because we very clearly are. I'm the sexy one and he's the wimp who occasionally threatens to burn my house down."

"You're not sexy, you're rapey."

He snickered. "That's not what you were thinking 2 minutes ago."

I FORGOT HE CAN FUCKING READ MINDS!

"Yo, fuck off. You're my boyfriend, of course I find you attractive."

"So then you like rapey?"

"No, I do not like rapey! No one likes rapey unless they're from an alternate univer- oh wait."

"Yeah, someone wasn't thinking until now," he smirked, "Now, how about those cookies?"

"No, I don't really... actually yeah let's make cookies."

It was the shard of glass Joji was pointng at me again that made me change my mind. He smiled wickedly.

"Good! We're gonna make 'red velvet' cookies today."

The way he said "red velvet" was very unsettling.

"Um... ok... do we need groceries?"

"Nope! I did the shopping to get ready for you." He smiled brightly.

He rushed downstairs to the kitchen excitedly. I followed warily. His emotion could change at any second. He hummed to himself as he took some ingredients out of the fridge and the cabinet, then put them onto the table.

"Eggs~, butter~, flour~, human blood~"

"Human blood!? What the fuck!? Where did you-

"Calm down, it's my blood. It's for color!"

"JOJI YOU CAN USE FOOD COLORING!"

"Pssh. It's not a bonding experience if my blood isn't in it, silly!" He said with an innocent smile.

The smile then quickly disappeared as he gave me a death stare. He slowly lurched toward me. I backed away.

"Now, all we need is yours..."

"Joji, this isn't funny..."

"Oh, I'm not joking, honey." He chuckled as he attracted a shard of glass to his hand.

I desperately searched for something to fight back with. He backed me into one of our wooden chairs. They weren't too heavy so I could probably lift it and swing it around. I decided to do just that, hitting him over the head with the legs of the chair. Joji wasn't having it.

"You fucker! You will bond with me!" He said as his other eye began to bleed.

Joji tightly gripped the shard, grabbing my arm and pulling me toward him. Just as he did so, something hit him on the back of the head, rendering him unconscious. As he fell over, I realized that Joji 2 was standing behind him.

"Joji..." I hugged him.

"I told you to be careful."

"Can we not have an 'I told you so' moment right now and just go home?"

He nodded and carried me in his arms. He frowned.

"He got you..." Joji said as he stared at my arm.

I looked down. There was a deep gash on my left arm. The glass shard was lodged into it.

"Owwww..." I whined.

"I'm taking you to the hospital." Joji said as he rushed to the mirror in the bedroom.

He mumbled the spell as stepped through. I saw Joji 1 very slowly crawling behind us, but he sighed and gave up. I didn't feel bad at all this time.
