Couple… Yes, he supposed that was what they were. A couple. He lightly gazed at the other as he shifted and cuddled into his chest, promising there would be no other next time. Oh, he doubted that. He found himself to be quite the irritating person at times, it was a wonder how some people dealt with his strange distant behavior. It seemed in the midst of falling asleep, Julius remembered something, a bark of laughter escaping his lips. Revealing that he talked in his sleep at times… ah yes… That little embarrassing and worrisome detail. Julius slowly trailed off in his sentence, falling asleep on his chest.
He slowly reached over, pulling the messy sheets over them despite the fact they were still clothed and tucking the sheets neatly around Julius as he encircled his arm around him and gingerly began to stroke his hair. For a long while, he laid there, staring up at the ceiling in the dark, lightly caressing the other absentmindedly. His mind would not lay at rest, bothered and unwilling to let him sleep. At some point, however, he did manage to fall asleep. The traces of a dream corrupting his usually rather empty sleeps.
Julius… He could make out his form in his hazy dream. The background soft and inviting as the man stood beyond him. A sweet dream, as he took the other into his arms- or not. Julius’s form shifted into that of a larger, daunting form, the world growing dark as green glowing slits of eyes stared down at him, a long thrashing tail sweeping him up and suffocating him. Only in times of dreams did he find himself capable of muttering while he slept.
When he did awaken, it was slow and fuzzy, the bright light from the unfixed hole in the wall filtering down on them. He saw a face and instinctively flipped out, flailing uncharacteristically and fighting the covers as he hit the floor with a loud thud, kinking his neck in the process.
“Sh-t.” the profanity flew from his lips as he kicked the sheet away from him, trying to sit up. Was it morning already? He lightly rubbed his neck, realizing he felt a bit clammy. Remembering that god-awful dream that had collapsed into a torturous nightmare. He cringed at the memory.

‘Julius’ a familiar voice echoed, ‘Come find me one day, and when you do, I want-‘ Want… Want? Want to what? What is it? Why didn’t he finish his sentence? Master…
A shiver had woken him up as he opened his eyes slowly and stared at the tossing body beneath him. Was he having a nightmare? The demon finally opened his eyes and as he saw Julius’ confused face looking at him he reacted sudden. Julius groaned at the sudden noise, forcing himself to sit up, as he rubbed at his eye while yawning. “So noisy…” Julius teased looking down at Cain who’d fallen out of the bed, “What’s your problem? Is my face that hideous?” He yawn once more before getting out of bed, scratching the back of his head. “What a horrible way to wake up” he walked over the demon and towards the kitchen, “I’m so hungry~” he lied. Not like a reaper- or ex-reaper in his case- could ever actually feel hungry. But Julius just wanted an excuse to watch Cain move about. He chuckled at his strange thoughts.

He stared at Julius for a few moments as the man got out of bed and stepped over him. He simply fell back and collapsed back on the floor with a soft “uhn,”. Horrible way to wake up, he was telling him. Jeez… He supposed he was having a lot more ‘dreams’ as of late. Maybe it had to do something with Julius and his inevitable power to unknowingly screw with his emotions. Cain sighed and lightly turned his head, watching Julius head towards the kitchen.
Instead of immediately getting up, he laid there for a few long moments. Slowly adjusting to the memory of last night’s incident, as well as the strange nightmare that had occurred. Strange considering he hadn’t had a nightmare in so many years. But usually bad things happened after he received any sort of nightmare. Wonderful…
Cain slowly picked himself up off the floor, briefly rubbing his aching neck before going to button his open shirt- only then realizing it was a mess. He sighed. Really? He shrugged the shirt off, feeling the fabric tickle at the soft risen scar on his back, making a shiver run down his spine.
“I can cook you something to eat.” he finally motioned, offering to make him some food out of whatever he had left of the raw materials he had. Which wasn’t much, just eggs and potatoes… not the most intricate meal could be made out of it.

Julius looked around the small kitchen, rubbing the back of his head. They really needed to go out and get some food… And leave this place altogether really… Ugh, but with what money…?
“What a horrible morning…” Julius sighed annoyed at his own thoughts, then turned to look towards the bed room. Cain was taking an awful amount of time to get off his ass. Julius moved the curtain away, which separated the kitchen and bedroom from each other, and stared at the demon who still lay on the floor, his eyes staring up at the ceiling. They looked so hollow... If only Julius had a way to get into the demon’s head. He never knew what the demon was always so distracted about and it pissed him off. Julius grit his teeth, watching the demon rub at his sore neck and take of his ripped shirt. His eyes then went up to his still uneven purple hair. If the damn demon keeps this appearance up, Julius was going to go insane with guilt.
Julius ignored the man speaking to him, while going back into the kitchen. He retrieved the scissors from the night before which lay on top of abandoned purple hair. “Keh” was all he uttered at his mistakes, as he walked into the bedroom, heading towards the demon with the scissors in hand.

Finally up, it only proved to be that perhaps he should have stayed down on the floor as Julius came towards him with scissors in his hand. Oh god, not scissors! Cain pointed a finger at him accusingly, "No. No no no no no. You are not going near me with those." he said, backing away from Julius. He did not trust this one with scissors, and was not going to let him clean up the mess he made. Hell no! If he believed he was going to let Julius cut his hair again, he was terribly mistaken.
He didn't trust anyone with his hair but himself, and he especially did not trust Julius. Sure, he guessed the other just wanted to fix his poor hair, but he didn't even know if the man was capable of a proper haircut! He had chopped it pretty badly enough the first time, he was not going to allow a second time and be left with some sort of super short mess!
"I will fix it myself later!" he argued, but he was pretty much cornered- not that he wasn't going to run and avoiding Julius if he had to. Julius plus Scissors summed up to a horrible trajedy. It wasn't going to happen.

Julius blinked at the horrified man, and couldn’t help a chuckle. He rubbed the back of his head nervously, “I know you probably don’t trust me with your hair right now…” He looked at the demon’s amusing expression and smiled. He was glad the demon could show him so much emotion unlike before when his face was statued with coldness. “…But, I’m actually really good with these things, believe it or not” he cornered the demon. He was going to fix his own mess. He’d hurt Cain enough.
Julius inched closer to the man’s face, scissors hidden behind his back, as he petted the man’s hair gently. “I won’t hurt you anymore…” Their foreheads touched, “Please trust me.” His voice came out as a soft, yet confident whisper. He was glad to see that his body was finally growing to match his lover’s height. The demon’s body wasn’t growing anymore it seemed, but Julius still had some growth hormones left in him somehow. He stood tall, full with confidence and grace, staring the demon down. He wanted to do everything for this one. Anything to make him happy. Anything to bring a smile to his face, which he hadn’t seen yet. Julius frowned at the thought. It was true. He’d seen the man smirk in amusement before, but he’d never seen a genuine smile ever. It annoyed him a little. It was another thing to add to his list. Making Cain smile.
The two stood there, Cain, cornered against a wall, and Julius over him, breathing warmth onto the other’s face. He waited for a response from the still demon. Dammit. He was distracted again. Julius grit his teeth in frustration. What the hell was the demon always so distracted about?! Why wouldn’t he just tell Julius?! He needed to know! It pissed him off. Julius threw the scissors on the bed, never leaving the demon’s hallow eyes, as his fist rose above the demon’s head and connected with the wall hard enough to flinch the demon back from dreamland, but not to make a hole in the wall. “What the hell are you thinking about all the time?” Julius’ voice came out raspier than he wanted, but it just showed how much it pissed him off. Even though his voice was harsh, he tried to sound as calm as possible. They were really good at arguing and fighting, weren’t they?

Probably? Make that definitely. There was no trust with those scissors, no matter what he said to reassure him. He dropped the run tactic when the other got really close, his back touching the wall and Julius especially close to him, slowly inching towards him as if he were a skiddish cat ready to dodge and run. Which he quite was. As their foreheads touched, and he told him to trust him, he did not move. Running was not the option as he stared almost emptily back at Julius.
He was jarred roughly from his thoughts when the other punched the wall, forcing him back to reality. Cain shifted his gaze from Julius before quickly ducking under his arms and avading him. "It is not relevant." he commented, obviously not going to willingly share the information. Pff, like he would. He was probably one of the most secretive and stubborn people you would meet. But then, alot of demons were the same, weren't they? Secretive, charming, usually well kept. If you were ever lucky to meet more than one in your lifetime, they always seemed quite the same.
"For your sake, I ask that you do not pry." he added in a reserved manner.

Julius didn’t turn around to look at the demon right away after he’d managed to get away. His chest was in a knot and he felt like being violent. How could this man make him feel so frustrated and stressed all the time? He felt angry and hurt. Did his lover not trust him enough to simply tell him what was on his mind? Did he not trust him enough to allow him to redeem himself? Did he… not trust him enough to say he loved him? Julius’s fist slowly slid down the wall and to his side. He glared down at the floor, swallowing back tears of anger. All Julius ever thought of was Cain. How to make Cain happy. How to make himself a better man for Cain. How much he loved Cain. How beautiful Cain was. Everything he’d done… everything he’d given up… was for Cain. He felt hopeless and trapped. Was Cain playing him? Did he even care? He was a demon after all…
Julius sorely turned around not looking at the demon. He didn’t want to look at him. He didn’t want to know the possible truth that the demon was only toying with him. Only forced to cooperate because of that damned contract. He grit his teeth, not daring to look up. He’d slept with him… Multiple times… Was the demon that low…? Dammit, why was Julius so insecure! So frustrating… Julius headed straight for the bathroom. Passing Cain while heading there made his heart stop for a second as tears finally escaped his eyes. His body began trembling. How could Julius be so damn weak…? He’d never cried so much in his life. Actually he doesn’t remember crying ever, before meeting Cain. “I’m taking a bath…” He said weakly, inches away from the bathroom door, reaching for the knob.

Damnit... why did it seem he always did everything wrong... He'd never screwed up this much before. He wasn't sure what to do as the other seemed to start breaking down again. It was becoming a common cycle and he did not know how to stop it... God Fudgeing damnit! He was angry at himself for letting this happen, again. It seemed all he ever did was hurt the poor man, again and again.
He let out a large breath of air before quickly stoping Julius, lightly grabbing him by the hand and pulling him back into a hug before the other could enter the bathroom and lock him out- he knew that move, it was all too familiar. And he did not want to have to break a door down just to get to him.
"Please be patient with me..." he spoke. "It has been a great while since I have last been through this... My last experience did not end well..." so that was what he had been caught on these past days. Perhaps this long past love he spoke of now. A very long past love at that, so it was irelivant now. It wouldn't change anything to bring it up, of course. Which is why he didn't. But it seemed it would at least ease Julius's heart if he did. And if that was all it could do besides hurt him, than he supposed it was worth it...

Julius allowed himself to melt into Cain’s embrace, hiding his face in the man’s strong shoulder. Be patient…? Hm. Maybe that was what he was supposed to do. He was never good at that. It was another thing to add to his horrible personality. Even so… He wanted Cain to tell him everything. And he wanted to tell the demon everything about him too. He wanted to lay down his life out for him. Everything for him. He wanted to crush those damn boundaries between them. An idea sudden came to mind. The demon was tied to the contract. He was to do everything he was order by his master.
By… Julius…
Orders…
“Cain…” Julius began without looking up, speaking into the man’s bare shoulder, his lips softly grazing his skin as he did so. “Let’s have a bath… together…” the words came out slowly. No. How could he possible force the information out of him? He couldn’t order the man to tell him against his will. He couldn’t do that. Not to Cain. Not to the idiot he loved so much. It wasn’t that he didn’t care that the demon didn’t love him back, but he just wanted to forget about that. He just wanted to stay by his side as long as it took. He didn’t want to pressure him anymore. He didn’t want to force himself on his lover anymore. He just wanted to see his face and exist together. A simple bath wouldn’t do any harm… right?

"A bath?" he repreated as if it was a strange offer. "Well, I suppose we need one, do we not?" he smirked a little. They had slept together more than once and neither of them had bathed yet. "I will let you cut my hair if you promise to make it proper~" he added. "Just don't make it too short." he as well mentioned as he opened the bathroom door. The bathroom wasn't very big, just enough for the neccesities, and untouched by their wrath...

Julius looked up at Cain, shocked. He’d let him cut his hair! Colour rose to his cheeks and his heart raced in his chest. He pouted, staring a hole into the floor as he followed Cain into the bathroom. How could he be so happy over something so small? Pathetic. “Tch…” he still didn’t dare look up, afraid to show Cain his embarrassing red face, “I already said I’m good at it…” he grumbled childishly. Warm evaporation filled up the small bathroom as the hot water was turned on. Pants fell to the floor, catching Julius’ attention. The demon was undressing for the bath, it was something completely normal. He’d seen his fully naked body before, so why was his heart racing so quickly? Why did he feel so suffocatingly hot? He watched the oblivious demon, hoping not to get caught. He was so beautiful. His strong shoulders, his wide, firm chest. His muscles… everywhere… His hips and… his… Julius flushed deep crimson and looked away quickly. What was he doing…?
Julius stomped over towards the tub, avoiding eye contact, and shrugged off his clothes. He swiftly got into the warm bath, sighing from the sensation and waited for the amused demon to get in as well.

It was so adorable that he was all pouty that he was good at cutting hair. It made him want to squish his rosey cheeks together. He turned on the water, ensuring it was nice and hot, the steam easily starting to warm the bathroom. He wasn't shy, or hesitant, as he undid his pants, dropping them and lightly stepping out of them. He didn't leave them there in a mess, it had become a habit to keep clean as he folded them and laid them over the sink.
He looked up when Julius quickly went over to the tub, stripping down just as quick and getting into the tub. He stared at him for a moment, finding he was a little red in the face. Oh? He chuckled a little, closing the bathroom door to keep the nice warm air locked in the bathroom- he hated stepping out of a nice hot bath and getting hit with cold air. "You really are adorable." he said as he got into the tub, settling himsely right behind Julius, reaching over him for the soap and washcloth, lathering it up and running the soapy, slick cloth over Julius's shoulders and chest, intending to wash him all over. And all over he would wash him.
Cain dragged the cloth down his arm briefly before down his chest, quite intentionally brushing it over his nipples while making it seem like an innocent motion. Oh no, not innocent at all. Cain smiled, he loved to tease~

He flinched then statued himself. He couldn’t move at all as the man he loved washed his body for him. Could this damn bathroom get any hotter?! He felt dizzy, as his body shivered from the mixed sensations of the calming warm water and the demon’s gentle touches. He also felt some strange coldness itching from beneath his skin. His vision began to become hazy, consciousness slowly slipping away. What the hell was going on? Why was he getting so light headed? Was this normal? He’d planned to not do anything… sexual with the demon anymore, trying hard not to force himself on him, and yet here was the demon, teasing him intentionally. His head hurt. His body was so hot, and his member was raging with excitement. Oh no… What is he going to do..? No. He couldn’t do anything to Cain. He won’t!
Julius turned his body around in the small tub, not making eye contact with the demon as he snatched the cloth from his hands, “I…” he began, his voice weak. He was breathing heavily as if he’d ran a marathon. “I…can wash myself…”. What was going on? Were his eyes closed? He didn’t remember closing them. Did the power cut? Something was off. “I... can’t see” the words came out one at a time, and not very clearly. His face was burning, but he felt cold. He couldn’t breathe. Was that water against his face? Shouting? Cain’s voice sounded worried… Was Cain hurt…? Julius hoped not. He hoped Cain was alright. What was this feeling? His body felt so light, so weak. Was this what death felt like?
Ah. Damn. He really wanted to see Cain’s smile before he died. He wanted to hear those three words from him so badly. How cruel…

Well, that was a surprise. He let the other take the cloth as it was stolen from him. But then something was strange... He was acting as if he was already doing something strenious- they hadn't even done anything yet! The moment he said he couldn't see, he knew something was horribly wrong and barely had the time to catch the poor guy before he pretty much slumped over into the water.
"Julius!!!" Cain quickly grabed him by the arms, pulling him up from the water and grabbing him, pulling him out of the hot water, nearly slipping from the quick and frantic motions, laying the man down on the floor. "Julius!? Wake up!" He called, sitting over him on all fours, water dripping from his body, creating a large puddle on the floor. "Julius!!?" he called again, getting no responce. Sh-t! What was he supposed to do!? He wasn't even sure what happened, he just fainted! Was it the heat, or maybe something he'd done.... oh god please let it just be the heat. He quickly got up, finding a cloth and running it under cold water, placing that on his forehead and hoping he would come to soon.
"Please be okay..." he begged in a whisper, taking Julius's hand in his own and squeezing it tight, sitting beside him.
