    Summary

    Steve hadn't known what to expect. Even with all his training he feels unprepared.

    Any presumptions and expectations he did have went down the drain at the sight of him... of the demon with those ice-cold eyes that watch him. One blink and then the demon is upon him, metal arm wrapped around his throat, like a lion pawing a mouse.

    The cold fingers against his pulse don't hurt.

    The demon portrays no evil intent, choosing to wrap its shadows around Steve's limbs as he leans his human form closer to the cadet, pink lips ghosting over the shell of Steve's ear as he breathes the human in.

    Steve's heart is racing so fast, so quick, it would have been hard for the demon not to have heard it, to have seen his weakness. But by then it's too late: the demon lets out a deafening scream, hair shadowing his eyes as he crumples to the floor.

    This is his chance.

    Steve's only chance.

    It's now or never.

    No regrets.

    Even if it is the most foolish decision Steve will ever make.
