Two Equals One

Highschool Musical Lied

I don't even remember most of middle school! Rin groaned internally as he sat through the first day of regular school.

Lucky for you, I have a fuck-ton of information crammed in my mind from when I was held captive as a confused piece of demon soul in a body. There was a huge imbalance–I could absorb information easily and read through everything they gave me until their library was empty, but I didn't understand or process emotions properly. I've spent the past several years in a state of constant incoherency and madness. It wasn't as fun as one might think. Satan claimed proudly.

As soon as I made this deal with you though, I was able to think clearly. It makes me think that you're probably a part of me that split off and combined with Yuri's soul to be more attuned to emotions rather than information intake and that's why you struggled with bookwork so much. Most demon children growing inside human women eat their way out and consume any siblings in the womb with them, but you seem to have fed off of her emotions instead of your puny little brother and your mother and gained an advanced understanding of emotions. I didn't mean to create you, but damn this worked out great!

So you're saying we're an incomplete being when we're apart, but together, we're an all-powerful being equipped with both knowledge and power and connected to everything in both worlds?

Satan nodded, though Rin had no idea how he could tell, he just....felt it. He didn't dwell on it.

He spent lunch alone and was allowed to use the kitchen that school lunches were made in to make himself tea. He was also given an allowance and permission to use the dorm kitchen to buy and store his own ingredients(and tea) and make his own food. Rin was the fucking King of saving money after growing up poor, so he had no problem with the amount he was given.

He finally made it to his assigned dorm building and had to find his room. It was on the third floor. If Mephisto and Shiro thought that would stop him from sneaking out, they were sorely mistaken, because there was a huge tree behind the dorm not too far a distance from his dorm room window. He could jump and make it onto a sturdy-looking branch outside his window no sweat.

As he was planning ways to sneak out(You have serious Authority Issues, kid), his roommates arrived. Their stuff was already there, so they'd probably been there for a few days like Yukio had.

"You the new guy rooming with us?" One of the boys asked. Rin turned around to see his new roommates and barely restrained himself from laughing. They were....an interesting bunch, to say the least. One was taller than all of them, tan, built, had a blonde mohawk through his styled dark brunette hair, several piercings in each ear, and a brooding look on his face.

That's a mean resting bitch face right there. I can't tell if I wanna punch him or if I want him to punch me. Satan mused.

Gross. And back off, if anything, he's mine. You're just along for the ride.

Well, you've got the "fuck sharing" part of being a demon down. Satan grumbled pettily.

Rin nodded instead of saying anything back to whoever spoke, giving an awkward little wave and a smile.

Nice people skills.

Fuck off.

He looked over the other two boys. One was taller than him, lanky, with caramel-colored eyes, bright pink hair that made Rin smile, and a lazy grin. He seemed like a chill guy.

The last boy was much shorter than all of them and had a shaved head, dark walnut-brown eyes, and red plastic-framed glasses. He seemed very timid, but friendly nonetheless. Cute.
