Chapter Six

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Emerging from the woods, the pair looked exhausted from spending the night in the forest. Back at the tents, they found that everyone had packed up and were ready to move on.

“We heard screaming from the woods, but Karen convinced us you were fine.” Elizabeth said while running up to her brother, worry in her blue eyes.

Damian blushed hard at her words, hiding his face in Mikaela’s shoulder while memories of the night before flashed in his once-somewhat-innocent mind.

“You look like you two were in a fight with a bear.” Karen added, a knowing look in her eyes.

“I mean I didn’t say we weren’t.” Mikaela said with a smile.

“What’s that on your face?” Elizabeth asked pointing at something at the corner of Damian’s mouth.

Mikaela saw how embarrassed his boyfriend was and decided to be a devil. The dark male leaned forward and kissed the spot, making Damian’s face turn bright red with a blush.

“Oh no, you didn’t!” Elizabeth seemed to understand what happened last night and left with Karen.

Mikaela shrugged, “I blame the bear.”

“He was really good.” Damian teased.

It was Mikaela’s turn to blush.

Mikaela bent down to talk to him “Damian, where are you’re handcuffs?”

Damian pulled the handcuffs out of thin air, “Why do you ask, do you want to use them again?” Damian asked seductively.

“Don’t tempt me.” Mikaela teased.

“But that’s my job, I wouldn’t want to get fired.” Damian smiled, leaning up on the tips of his toes to press a kiss to his lips. The demon wanted a better kiss, but Mikaela pulled away just to tease Damian.

“Come on, let's go pack and get ready to leave.” Mikaela flicked the top of Damian’s head with his finger.

“Fine, but only if you help me.”

The pair moved towards their tent. Damian grabbed his knife and pillow.

“Hurry up, we’re leaving in five minutes.”

Damian turns to Mikaela “Can I get a kiss for the road.”

Mikaela smiled and leaned forward, pressing their lips together. Damian wrapped his arms around Mikaela’s neck, pulling the taller closer to him. The demon’s small wings fluttered happily on his back as Mikaela traced his bottom lip, seeking entrance.

When Damian opened his mouth slightly, the other’s tongue was already exploring his mouth. The two pulled away after several minutes of hard making out, panting for breath.

“It’s a long road, I might need another.” Damian panted, desperate for another kiss.

“Come on gays, we don’t have all day!” Karen yelled from the caravan, which was being pulled by a team of undead horses. The caravan was loot from having to kill Mikaela’s father while the horses they had were the lich‘s. The horses continued on their way, Damian and Mikaela often walked beside the caravan as the day progressed.

“What do you think will happen when we find my brother?” Mikaela asked, imagining his little brother who had begged to come with him when they escaped prison. It seemed so long ago now.

Damian slipped his hand into Mikaela’s, giving it a comforting squeeze.

“I don’t know, I didn’t know him very well.” Damian wanted to console his boyfriend, however, he didn’t know how.

“He was very energetic, and happy all the time. But when we met you guys… He became very cold and emotionless. I didn’t like how he was spending so much time with Asher.” Mikaela found himself rambling and smiled apologetically at the demon walking beside him.

“I love hearing your voice, I just wish you were talking about something happy.” Damian pouted lovingly.

Mikaela kissed his forehead, though his red eyes remained sad, “Me too.”

They continued to walk in silence for a while, soon the air around them became awkward.

“I didn’t mean to make you upset, Mikaela, je suis désolé” The demon whispered after a while, fearing that he was being insensitive about his lover’s missing brother.

“You didn’t do anything, I’m just thinking about how lucky I am that you chose me instead of Asher. I had the biggest crush on you when I first met you.” Mikaela teased him gently.

Damian’s face turned dark red, “I liked you, too, when we first met. But I also liked Asher. I felt confused. Sorry it took me so long to see you really love me.”

“It’s okay, besides, you’re mine now.” Mikaela kissed the other swiftly. Damian loved this side of Mikaela, being so dominant with him.

As the sun began to set and Damian got an idea.

“Have you ever wanted to fly?” Damian asked his lover.

Before Mikaela could respond, Damian used his magic to make huge white wings spread out of Mikaela’s back. The taller gasped at suddenly having a pair of wings, Damian was blushing hard at how hot he looked.

Damian moved his wings up and down in a flying motion, after a while Mikaela had it down. Then the pair jumped into the air, their wings strongly beating against the air.

“Make sure you get back here before dinner, otherwise we’ll eat without you!” Elizabeth shouted.

Damian ignored his sister’s order.

“Isn’t this great?” Damian yelled over the wind that buffeted them.

“Yeah!” Mikaela yelled back, the new flyer tucked his wings in and shot towards the ground.

Damian circled above for a few seconds before taking off after them. When he reached the elf, they locked hands and plummeted towards the ground faster. At the last second, Mikaela spread his wings wide and shot upwards, pulling Damian under him. The demon flapped his smaller wings as they flew parallel to each other.

The pair doubled back and made their way back to the campsite, where Elizabeth was starting to hand out dinner. The wings on Mikaela’s back began to disintegrate as Damian’s magic wore off.

“Aww, looks like I won’t be eating your share after all.” Elizabeth complained as she handed the boys each a bowl of stew.

“This is really good! What is it?” Damian asked his sister, reaching for another bowl.

“Possum stew, we found a few of them in the trees.” She replied casually.

Damian made a face as Mikaela finished his bowl happily as if it was the most common dinner in the world. Everyone was laughing around the campfire, telling stories and just in general being goofy.

“I’m gay, daba di daba die! Daba di daba die!” Mikaela started singing randomly, leaning over to kiss Damian’s cheek.

“I do hope you mean we.” Damian smiled, blushing in the firelight.

“Aww, lovebird virgins!” Karen yelled from across the circle.

Damian blushed and proceeded to attack Karen with the sticks. Mikaela grabbed the demon as he ran past him, pulling the brunette to sit in his lap. Damian grumbled but leaned his head back against Mikaela’s neck, feeling himself grow tired.

“Oh no, you don’t!” Mikaela laughed, standing up with the demon.

Mikaela grabbed Damian’s hand, and put the other one around his waist. Damian’s other hand rested on his shoulder. They began to waltz around the fire. Elizabeth smiled, stood, and grabbed Karen by the hand and began to mimic them.

“Oh no! I plan to marry a hot guy in the near future, not you.” Karen hissed as she tried to pull away from the angel.

“You can still dance with me though, can’t you?” Elizabeth giggled, twirling Karen under her arm.

“I suppose you are cute…” Karen admitted as she allowed herself to dance with the angel.

Damian watched his sister, feeling proud that she was finally feeling the lesbian vibes.
