Such a Cute Mortal | Shyan

Chapter 10

Ryan woke up, sweating. He took in deep breaths and looked around his surroundings. Frantically, he looked over at his watch. 3:04 am. He groaned and slumped back into bed. He stared at the ceiling for a while before deciding to get up.
While it was "late", time was weird down in hell. Since he knew that there were people still up and at it, he decided to do the same. He got up, dressed and walked out. At this point, he hoped that he would get killed by some demon guard or whatever else was down there.
He walked out of the room and looked down at the long hall filled with multiple doors and many more hallways. He tried to remember where the hell the training place was. He stopped dead in his tracks.
Shane. He'd forgotten about Shane. A wave of emotions flooded him. Sadness, guilt, worry. Everything. He felt like he just got punched in the gut.
Even with those emotions pounding on the back of his skull, he kept going. Until he heard a squish, and a scream. He jumped at first, then looked around, confused and scared.
"How hard is it to see me!?"
Ryan jumped backwards. There, the size of a small dog, was a man. Probably a demon but it could also be some new monster trying to kill him. He wouldn't be too surprised.
"Sheesh! Don't you have eyes!"
Ryan seized up. He knew who he was. He just kept on looking at the small guy.
"It's you. Anthony", he said, fear slowly crawling up into his throat.
He looked up at him with a confusing look.
"What? How do you know my name?" he said, attempting to make himself look taller.
"I had a dream within a dream and you were in it"
Anthony cocked his head.
"Don't know whether to be flattered or concerned. But yeah. Names Anthony", he said, sticking out his hand.
Ryan shook his hand, smiling slightly. He liked this version of Anthony better than his dream version. Whether or not it was a coincidence that he looked the same, if some monster played a trick on him or if it meant something, Ryan was just glad to actually be able to talk with someone who didn't try to kill him first.
"So, where you heading?"
"What?"
Anthony scoffed. He crossed his arms as he circled around Ryan.
"No one comes out here around this time unless a) They're bored to death. b) They actually have very important things to do. Or..."
Anthony uncrossed his arms and spread his wings. He flew up and landed on his shoulder. He sat down, adjusting his suit.
"You've got some difficult emotions you're going through that you're trying to get rid of. Right?"
Ryan stuttered. He picked him up and placed him in his hand. He tilted his head, confused.
"Yeah. How'd you know?" he said, slowly.
Anthony chuckled.
"I know from experience. Being a demon with some emotions? Not the best pair. It practically eats us from inside out. Right?"
Ryan gulped.
"Yeah. It really is eating me up. It fucking sucks."
Anthony hopped down and sprung up. He began walking but Ryan just stood there. He stopped promptly and turned around.
"Well? You coming or not?"
"Oh! Right. Sorry", he said, following him.
The two walked in silence for a while, leaving Ryan to ponder about his emotions.
What was with that dream he had? Why did Sebastian want his necklace so bad? Did he like Shane? He can't like Shane! He's.. He's..
"Different."
Anthony looked at him.
"Pardon?"
Ryan looked at him and smiled slightly.
"Sorry. Just thinking."
Anthony smiled.
"I get it. Don't want to tell your but secrets to any demon. I mean we've all got secrets. Some more darker than others but me? I'm just working out some anger problems."
Ryan nodded.
"Yeah, what is up with that? I mean you guys are so angry all the time."
Anthony shrugged.
"Could be 'cause we've been here for so long. Or could be' cause we come from human souls, formed and corrupted by hells fire and our sins and now we're forced to be here with no chance of redemption until the end of time."
He fell silent.
"Or 'cause some bitch took my rice pudding when it clearly had my name on it!"
Ryan laughed nervously.
"Yeah. And her name is?"
"Amanda."
Ryan sucked air between his teeth.
"Yeah I think I might know her. Yeah she kinda tried to kill someone back in chapter 3."
"What?"
"Nevermind."
They walked in silence once again. Anthony finally led him to the a door. Anthony cleared his throat and cracked his neck. He suddenly grew to Ryan's size and opened the door. Ryan just stood there, amazed.
"What? Didn't know I could do that?"
After he opened the door, he went back to his normal size. Ryan followed him inside.
"Can everyone do that?" he asked him.
"Nah. Only us lesser fortunate ones. We're made to get into smaller spaces. You know? Kinda like the secret weapon. We can get smaller or gigantic. I like to stay small. Feels right but.."
He grew back to Ryan size.
"Sometimes you just gotta grow up."
He snickered at his own stupid joke. Ryan chuckled slightly. He walked around not really knowing what to do. He picked up a sword from a rack and walked over to a dummy.
Unsure of what to do, first he poked it. Then he kinda tried to slash at it but failed. Anthony looked over at him and sighed/chuckled. He walked over, making himself grow up to Shane's height. He brought his arms up to Ryan's, holding his hands along with the sword.
The two were very close now, touching. Ryan looked behind him.
"Relax. I'm gonna help you. Now, what you want is a strong firm hold on it but not too firm since you still have to be able to move around."
He tightened his grip around Ryan. Ryan did the same on the sword.
"Focus on your target. Learn how they move, how they strike, when they'll strike. Use their own moves to your advantage. Never lose sight of your prey", he said in a low voice.
Ryan brought the sword up and in a position as if to strike. The two moved as if one single entity. Ryan could feel himself heat up. He could hear Anthony's low breathing while he was breathing at a quickened pace. Anthony slowly took his hands away from his hand and moved them onto the mortals hips, tightening his grip ever so slightly.
"And.. Strike."
Ryan struck with all of his force, driving the sword into the dummy, nearly tearing it in half. He breathed heavily. Anthony wrapped his arms around him, chuckling into his ear.
"Good, good", he said lowly into his ear.
Ryan let go of the sword, hearing it clank and clatter as it collided with the floor. Anthony burrowed his head into Ryan's neck. Ryan could feel his legs starting to fail him.
Anthony let one of his arms explore up into Ryan's chest while the other took hold of his eyes, parting his index finger and middle finger to let one of his eyes see. Ryan put his hands on Anthony's.
"They were right. You are adorable. Mm. I can't wait to taste you, Ryan", he purred into his ear.
He nibbled at his earlobe. Ryan gasped, a small moan escaping from him. He breathed heavily before finally managing to say something.
"Anthony, you can't. This isn't right", he said in between breaths and taking Anthony's hand from his eyes.
Anthony stopped. He held both of Ryan's hands. He held him tightly, almost sweetly.
"I know what Shane's done. He's not as good of a person as you'd think he is. "
Ryan eyes widened slightly.
"What. No I mean I know he's not the best person but he's. He's a good guy. ", he said slowly, as if not believing it himself.
Anthony smirked.
"You really believe that? Come on Ryan. Don't you want to know why everyone's so scared of him? Why he's even here?"
Ryan hesitated.
"He said he was captured. That he used to be an angel and he got corrupted so he wouldn't get killed. "
Anthony laughed, letting go. Ryan turned around to face him. He was so confused.
"Is that what he told you? He really must be desperate to gain your trust. No. He was simply too violent for the winged fellows up there. He fell. Lost his grace. Kinda like ol Lucy. "
Ryan's mouth opened slightly.
"Not only that, but what he does to all of his pets. First, he chooses someone who he thinks is gonna be fun to play around with. Then he uses them. Like toys. And once he's bored of them or wants to play with someone else, he tosses em aside like garbage. "
Ryan felt as though his whole world was a lie and was coming crashing down. He couldn't believe it. He knew Shane had secrets but. This?
"Wait, wait. How-How do you know?"
Anthony sighed.
"From experience. I was his pet at one point. He said he loved me. He said he couldn't believe how I was down here and not up there in heaven. He said he'd never love anyone the way he loved me. But then he met someone else and I got tossed aside. "
Anthony sighed. Ryan didn't believe it. He couldn't believe it. Shane would never do something like that. But he did lock Edgar away in that closet for so long. And he did rip the wings off of Amanda..
"Oh God. He can't. He couldn't. He wouldn't", Ryan said slowly.
Anthony took his hands.
"But he did. "
Anthony brought him close and kissed his cheek. He put his hand underneath his chin. His thumb on his bottom lip. The two locked eyes. Ryan's filled with disbelief and yet clouded with anticipation. Anthony's clouded with lust and mischief.

"But don't worry..

Ryan was now pressed against a bed, Anthony's lips against every inch of him. He took off any unecessary clothing and began to attack the exposed skin.
Multiple moans escaped from the mortals lips. Anthony's hands explored every inch of his body. He went downwards, nipping and kissing at Ryan's waist, and thighs and before he could even say anything, his mouth was on him, filling him with pleasure.

I'll treat you..

He could feel him touching everywhere around him. He could feel him inside of him. Noises he didn't know he could even make were spilling out of him at an embarrassingly fast pace.
To say that Anthony was good at this would be one hell of an understatement. He couldn't say anything but moan and yell out his name as he became closer and closer with every passing second.
He couldn't believe what was happening. But it was. Every moment. And he was enjoying it. Every moment. He never wanted this to end. If he and Shane couldn't be together, he wouldn't even mind. He was Anthony's. And that's all that mattered to him. Just Anthony.

So much better"

"So you gonna tell him?"
Shane chuckled, putting his cup of alcohol down.
"You know what, Edgar? After that entire talk, I think I am. "
Edgar smiled, putting his cigarette out. He walked over to Shane, who was sitting down and patted his back.
"Finally. The big bad king finally decides to fall in love. And with a mortal no less. "
"Shut up. But yeah. I'm gonna tell him.. Ryan..

I love you"
