[✔] Dark Beauty (boyxboy psychotic demonic)

Chapter 12. The Deal

Adrian stares at the ceiling for the longest of time, contemplating what his next course of action would be like. This was all fun at first. After a while, he tried hard to even remember his anger. Only the memory of the fire kept him going. But after a long time, even that had become meaningless. He tried to want to feel angry and more revengeful but that has become something tiring lately. His constant manipulation and games on other people, his hatred, will eventually become dull to him. This is the price to pay for the curse. He knew he had to act now while he still feels like taking revenge because eventually, with his extended life, he will become even more hollow than he already is now.

Victor and Kevin left him at the hotel early in the morning with a kiss on his forehead. It's disgusting for him to think that those idiots even treated him like he is their lover. He was of course the unwilling lover. Their minds are full of sick perverted thoughts. He hopes they will receive their punishment sooner rather than later so that he will not need to entertain anymore of their antics. That plan was already set on motion. He just have to wait. But his patience is wearing thin. He had to pretend to be hurt this morning when in fact, his body doesn't feel a thing at all. It was just tiring to pretend.

As he was lost in thoughts, the door to his hotel room is knocked repeatedly. He walks steadily to open the door almost forgetting to try to hear the thoughts of the person behind the door. He just feels slightly annoyed at the constant knocking. He just assumes that it's room service but when he opens the door, he is stunned to see that it was Devon standing at the door. He looks to be out of breath like he had just ran a marathon. And there's this concern plus angry looks on his face. "Adrian, what did they do to you?!" He yelled angrily as he storms into the room. The boy looks restless.

Adrian is left speechless and just decided to calmly shut the door behind him. Before he can even speak, Devon yells again as he notices the string on hickeys on Adrian's visible neck. "I'll fucking kill them! They dare do this to you!!!" It was at that moment that Adrian suddenly feels strange... Never before has anyone in his life got angry or murderous on their own without his demonic manipulation. Who is he to Devon? What makes Devon this angry? It's almost like... the boy wanted to protect him? He didn't even use any manipulation on the boy's mind. Then, why? How come?

"Devon..." Adrian manages to call out, perplexed by the boy's behavior. He can't guess. He doesn't know what the boy is thinking. "Why are you here? How did you know?"

"I heard then bragging that's why!!!" Devon shouted. "And I asked their stupid henchmen where you are!" He then takes a glass from the table in the room and smashes it to the ground in anger. "I'll fucking kill them!!!"

After the surprise, the only thing Adrian can feel now is amusement. So he smiles slightly. "Why?" He asked.

"Because they raped you!"

Yes, he was kinda forced but... "Why is it any of your concern?"

Devon then stops being angry for a while and it was like he was hit by cold water to the realization. Yes, why indeed. Only he knows of the reason but Adrian doesn't know this. So should he confess? He contemplated but finally decided against it. How much can he tell? How much does he want to tell anyway? How much can he bear to tell?

Seeing him being quiet, Adrian decided to scheme. "Don't worry. If one day I need you to kill them for me, I'll let you know," Adrian said, appearing to be joking in a calm manner but by hell, he meant every word.

Devon forgets about being angry anymore so he sits down quietly on the sofa, his eyes stares straight into Adrian's. The scar on his eyebrow making that looks in his eyes seductive and dangerous. "Adrian..." he softly called out.

"Hmm," Adrian answered nonchalantly.

"I know you're a demon," he said as-a-matter-of-factly. His eyes didn't even blink.
