Yugioh Arc V Au. A pact with the devil

The mark.

Gili couldn't believe it. She didn't want to believe it. However, no matter how she turned it around, she was really sharing her bed with a man. Or demon if she had to be technically. Sure, they were not doing anything besides cuddling, but to Gili that was something she thought would never happen. Mostly because of her low esteem but also because of the hurtful words Regina had said over time. That being words like her being a coward, stupid, or ugly. All words Gili had begun to believe herself. There would never be anyone around to befriend or even love her. Regina and her crew made sure of that. That until Declan appeared and things changed. For the better. She finally had a friend, Regina and her crew stopped pestering her; they were afraid of Declan, but still, and she had enough money to actually live for. Not that the money was that important to her but having someone to share her daily life with. That was! She could never be happier. She really couldn't. That until Declan had kissed her. That day at the park. Sure, he stated that was the only way he gained energy, but that didn't change the fact that he had indeed kissed her. And Gili had liked it. She couldn't deny that, even though it had been her first kiss and it made her flustered just thinking about it. That was the reason she had avoided Declan at first. Just seeing her brought those warm flustered feelings up and she was stuttering like crazy. She just couldn't help it. A thought in her mind had been that he was a demon and put a spell on her, but if he had, why hadn't Declan acted upon it? No, the only rational reason for this was that she must have fallen in love with him. Or she guessed that. She had after all never been in love before. But she was sharing her bed with him right now. Sure, it was so she could keep herself warm and Declan really was warm. Comforting warm. She could hear his breath, and feel its warm air hit her hair. She could even hear his heart, or maybe hearts were the better term for it. She could hear several heartbeats that just couldn't be from the same heart. Not that it mattered much to her anyway. Demons could have infinity hearts for all she cared about. All she wanted to do was lie in his arms and not care about anything. She just didn't want him to leave.

"Ahrm" coughing sounds could then suddenly be heard as both Gili and Declan jerked in surprise.

Then Declan's arms let go of her, as he turned towards the people who were now in their bedroom for some reasons. Gili shivered lightly at that since the cold air now were present all over her body. It even went through the blankets.

"As much as I don't want to disturb you two sweethearts in your beauty sleep, Herk and I have other things to do" the voice continued, making Gili pique out from the blanket, to see Sorano and his servant stand at the foot side of the bed.

"Sorano" Declan mused as he climbed out of bed to face his friend. "Did you fix the heater already?".

He didn't seem troubled that his friend had just popped out of the blue. Either that was a common demon thing, or Declan was just good at hiding it.

"Well not per say the heater, but we upgraded it" Sorano replied and smirked. Gili noticed they both were holding a bunch of stones in their hands.

"Well let me guess, the tinker prince didn't want to give up his new toy just yet" Declan then said, making Sorano nod eagerly.

"That sums it up, but that doesn't mean we haven't solved your heater problem" Sorano advised and were holding up one of the stones for them to see "These stones are infused with the breath of a fire demon. Herk's actually. By placing them all around your home, it should keep you both warm for a long time".

"But I... how do you turn them off if you don't want it that warm anymore?" Gili questioned as she got out of bed as well.

"We thought about that. No worries" Sorano reassured as he let Gili hold one of these stones. Its warm radiated in Gili's hand now. "Declan is a demon. If he is living here for life, his powers might as well be beneficial. He can turn them on and off by using his own demon fire form".
