Bath House

My favorite part of this AU is probably this chapter 😂😂😂.

DEMONSDEMONSDEMONSDEMONSDEMONSDEMONSDEMONS

As a gift from Mephisto for saving Izumo all on their own, the ExWires and Yukio got to take a trip to a bath house, along with Shura for supervision. Rin was sitting with Yukio and Konekomeru in one of the baths. He looked utterly peaceful. It was such a strange sight that Suguro kept sneaking little glances at him while he washed off before going into the baths.

Rin was short, but slim, like a dancer.  One could almost say he was petite, if not for the solid muscle on his body under unmarked skin. Rin had no scars left over from injuries Suguro had seen him with and he finally looked like a living being instead of half-dead after the attack he'd suffered from Lucifer and whatever happened to him at the Laboratory in Shimane.

Rin's ink-black hair was longer–the longest locks reaching his chin–and his bangs fell into his eyes. His tail was the same color as his hair and was long and slender, resting curled up at the floor of the bath he was in. Suguro wasn't used to seeing it, since Rin usually hid it. And God damn, how did Rin have a waist that slim?

However, as soon as the thought that "Holy shit, Rin was pretty for a guy" popped up, Suguro thought about something else. He was a monk, he couldn't like the same gender. Not to mention Rin was the son of Satan and on top of that, an emotionless brick who probably didn't understand love at all. Or most other emotions, for that matter.

Besides, how the fuck did you tell an emotionally detached asshole that you wanted to kiss the drops of water off his neck and tuck his pretty hair behind his ear?

Izumo, on the other side of the wall, thought about Rin taking the Nine-Tails from her mother so Tamamo could live. It was endearing, even though it could also be thought of as tactical thinking. She wondered if they were also talking about the mission on the other side of the wall.

As soon as she imagined it and saw Rin naked in her mind, she shut it down. Now was not the time to get the hots for a guy who'd never notice you. Still, Rin was a good looking guy. It was unfair for all the girls that crushed on him in their year.

"Eh, thinking about cute boys, Kamiki? Or maybe even....cute girls?" Shura was grinning when Izumo opened her eyes. The woman gestured discreetly to Shiemi, who still had her eyes closed in enjoyment and relaxation.

Izumo's face burned and she shook her head. "No!"

Back over with the boys, Suguro had finally joined them in the bath. Shima and Takara were the only ones not with them. Shima was, for some reason, staring at the wall that separated them from the girls and Takara was off being an asshole in a different bath.

"Is it okay for you to be in there?" Rin asked the puppet.

"What, are you saying I can't enjoy the hot water?" The rabbit snapped.

"No, I was trying to see if drowning you was an option." Rin said, smiling sickly-sweet. They thought he was being serious, but Suguro realized Rin was just being petty and snickered.

"Would that wake your master up, you bastard?" Rin kept pushing.

"I will fight you, demon boy!" The puppet snarled. Rin flipped him off.

"Oh fuck you!"

Rin shook his head. "No thanks." He was not expecting that thing to actually be funny. He really did wonder what was up with the sleeping host body, though.

"Oi, Shima. You gonna join us or are you still mad at me for taking your dream job away?" Rin called. Shima glared at him.

"Don't call out to me, I'm upset." He grumped.
