Chapter Text
August stared at the person on the other side of the screen, smiling as they both talked.
“You want me to kill someone and take their aorta for you, Ronin?” He said so calmly, like he was used to this.
“That’s right, Darlin’.” Said Ronin, eyes fixated on August like a predator watching his prey.
August didn’t mean to fall for the Devil, but yet here he was, staring at said devil, who was on the other side of his screen.
“I feel like you want proof too.” August said, leaning his head in his hand as he fidgets with his pen.
“Of course I do.” Ronin said, his smile grew wolf-like as he chuckled. “Show me you can kill, Darlin’.”
“….Fine.” Said August, he had already done the research and his new friends taught him some things.
“Can’t wait to see what you do, Darlin’.” Robin says before the two hung up.
August sat in his chair for a bit. Mind racing as he thought of what to do. He stood grabbing the knife that his father had gotten him. The handle of the knife was a red color, but engraved on the blade were pentagrams and other demonic symbols that he found cool because of Ronin. Before he even knew Ronin was his favorite.
It was cold as he headed towards Purgatory, the alley where Ronin was the devil becoming. He wanted to give Ronin a show. He walked into the alley, hiding his knife in his hoodie pocket. He looked around, staring at everything around him.
He waited for a bit before claiming his target.
-TRIGGER WARNING FOR BELOW-
He stared at the body below him, their aorta in his hand. Blood coated his hands as he slowly stood, staring at the heart..
He shook his head, cleaning off his hand as best he could as he took his phone out, taking a photo of the body and the aorta.
He sent the photo of the aorta to Ronin, smiling as he thought of what Ronin would say. He sent the photo of the body to the killer shit channel. Replies to what he had sent were sent way too fast for his own liking. He laughed as he felt eyes on him. He turned, staring at Ronin.
Blood on his face, his hands, his hoodie, his pants, and his shoes as he walked closer to Ronin.
“Did I do good?” He looked up at the killer, smiling like a deranged killer.
“You did, Darlin’.” Ronin said as he looked at the body behind his darling.
August smiled more before heading with Ronin back to Ronin’s house to clean up.
They got to Ronin’s house after a bit of walking through alleyways and hiding behind things so no one saw them. Though August looked like a lost puppy in a way as he followed Ronin.
“Welcome to my house.” Ronin opened the door for August, leading the shorter inside.
“Come here.” Ronin pulled August to the bathroom, making him sit.
Ronin grabbed a washcloth from a cabinet, wetting it before trying to get the blood off of August’s face.
August just looked up at Ronin. “Told you I had it in me.” He laughs out a bit as Ronin tries to clean him up.
“You proved me wrong, the others have been blowing up the server it seems like.” Ronin placed the wash cloth in the sink. “I’ll get you some of my clothes, especially since I don’t think you want to go home in bloody clothes.”
“Thank you, Ronin.” August said, still smiling, he is a lovesick man.
-TRIGGER WARNING OVER-
After a while, August was out of his bloody clothes and in some fresh clothes that were a bit baggy on him.
“You really took out someone’s aorta.. you’re just full of surprises.” Ronin said as the two laid on his bed, just looking at each other.
“Well, you gave me a choice, I just chose to listen.” August was looking into the Devil’s eyes, he reached out taking Ronin’s hand in his.
“You good, Darlin?” The man looked at the brown haired man that laid next to him.
August nodded, just smiling at the man.
“Mhm, just wanted to hold your hand, gotta be used to holding the Devil’s hand when I go down to hell.”
Ronin laughed at that, pulling August closer, the two laid there, slowly falling asleep….
A few hours later, Ronin drove August home, the two talked about random things before pulling up to the house.
“Would you like for me to wash this and give it back?” August asked, looking at Ronin.
“You keep it, it looks good on you.” Ronin replied.
The two got out of the car, and walked to the door.
“Thank you again for giving me this and allowing me to sleep and shower at yours.” August said, smiling softly at the killer.
“Of course, and you can come over at any time.” Ronin suggested, holding August’s hand as they walked to the door.
They get to the door, August facing Ronin, Ronin facing him. August reached up, getting on his tiptoes and balancing a kiss to Robin’s cheek.
“Thank you again.” He smiles.
The door opens quickly.
