"Those are still interesting," Kain managed to say, his voice sounding a bit hoarse. He was finally able to stand normally now without needed the help of the counter, although he did feel a bit light-headed, but that would soon pass as well. He watched Vos move across the room with a curious gaze.
So that was his true form huh…? Damn this demon king! He's too sexy for me to kill. It would be such a waste…
(nah, that was his halform. close enough lol)
"Usually appearance changes tend to happen within a week, if they happen at all. Though I can't be certain in your case," Vos continued. He usually didn't even bother with explaining this sort of thing, but he figured he needed to help Kain as much as was acceptable if he wanted to avoid potential danger or resentment from the new demon
(Kain doesn't know better lmao) (also physical changes how?)
"Ah… physical changes would be… appreciated…" Kain attempted to compliment the process as he looked down at his human-looking body in contempt.
Some enhancements would be nice…
(it depends, but things like different colored hair, horns, tail, etc. Vos ended up getting horns when he died, but he can hide them and stuff. he also used to be blind, but he can see now too. just stuff like that)
"Well, enjoy figuring your newfound form out. I have a meeting to attend to, and I am not leaving you in my apartment alone," Vos said before adjusting the cuffs of his button down. He wasn't looking forward to his meeting, but it was a requirement all demon kings had to answer to
(Idk why but I really wanna have Kain get a tail and his hair change some colors lmao)
"I'm not leaving without my goddamned flower crown," Kain grumbled as he meandered his way back into Vos's bedroom. He shuffled around the nightstand and scooped up his flower crown. He took a moment to collect his dignity and turned back around, making his way out of the bedroom, proudly wearing the flower crown atop his pretty blonde hair.
(lol I feel like he would enjoy having a tail or something. that and like those twisty horns or something)
"Enjoy your new lease on life," Vos called, not looking up from where he was tracing the various tattoos on his forearms idly with one finger. He was doing his best to seem uncaring about Kain's wellbeing, despite the odd urge he felt to coddle him. He was a demon king, he did not care, and he certainly did not coddle
(yes of course he would love having a tail are you kidding? that's like the sexiest addition to his body lmao. and yeah he'd probably have those spiral horns just cuz it's him)
"Oh I will. Thank you for the transaction, business partner," Kain chuckled darkly as he made his way over to the door. "You don't want to seal the deal with a kiss?" He teased Vos with old demon folklore before opening up the door and letting himself out.
Vos was about to open his mouth to respond, but didn't get the chance since Kain had left. He let out a slow sigh before running a hand through his hair. Now that he thought about it, Kain might have been fun to kiss. Oh, how he hated how tempting the scientist was
(lmao god dammit Vos just realize how gay you are for the tree scientist already omg xD)
Kain took off his flower crown and twirled it around his fingers, wondering what his new body will develop into. He walked into an empty elevator and pulled out his phone, calling an Uber driver to take him back to his house. After the call, he sent a text to his wife stating he'll be home soon, and that he had some very important information for her. He exited the elevator, went out of the lobby, and waited on the curb for his ordered cab.
Vos gave a slow sigh before getting up and walking into the bedroom. He rummaged through the desk before pulling a strangely shaped pendant out. It was a silver pentagram with what appeared to be a closed eye in the center of it. He tossed it gently into the air, and it began to float and spin. The blue and yellow eye opened, and what appeared to be a large circular screen materialized from the pendant
(Do we time skip or have them continue separately? Either is fine by me, I just will be last in my responses either way lmao)
(we might as well skip. maybe Kain freaks out about something and goes to Vos for help? or we could do more romance and have Kain invite Vos out for a murder spree or something lmao)
(Both sound pretty good to me. Time skip to a week then and we can have Kain freak out over his powers in his laboratory? Are we gonna assume he has Vos's number too or does he run all the way to his apartment?)
(Lol he should totally run to Vos’s apartment)
Im gOIng tO InvItE yOU On A mUrdEr sprEE!//
(Alrighty. I'm going to go with the plan and start us off. Kain will totally run to Vos's apartment then lmao)
Kain ran his hand through his messy hair, trying to calm himself down. He had stayed up nearly all night as he was working on fixing the kinks in his programming. He had strewn about written codes and data across his desk and around the floor at his feet. He felt another rush of anger go through him, except this time something jumped out of his body so fast he would've missed it if he blinked. His anger morphed into curiosity as he poked around his computer, wondering what the flash from his body was, flicking his new tail in annoyance.
His screen flickered, the program flashing between the normal colors and then to red text with a blue background, finally ending on the differently-colored screen. He poked at the different screen, causing the computer to leap away from him and levitate in the air. Kain stumbled backward out of his chair, not expecting the quick movement. Kain and the computer stayed a moment, seemingly eyed one another before Kain turned tail and ran up the stairs, through the door, and out of his house, closing and locking all doors behind him as he progressed away from the possessed device.
"Shit shit shit," Kain didn't realize he was cursing under his breath as he raced down to the curb from his house, frantically flagging for a cab at 3:00-ish am in the morning. The lights from streetlamps flickered and burnt out as he approached them. A cab began to approach him, however, the closer it got to Kain, the more it began to grow wild as the electronic system in the car was overrun with whatever power Kain was unwittingly emitting.
"Nevermind!" He shouted at the cabbie before taking off down the block, leaving a trail of broken lamp lights in his wake. He knew exactly where to go, it would just take him a while to remember the route back.
(Damn son, that was a trip to read)
Vos was relaxing on the couch, his tie undone around his neck and a bottle of bourbon on the coffee table. He was wearing his usual formal attire, though he had taken off his suit jacket and hung it up prior to sitting down. He had been out late on a job, where he had had to deal with a group of unruly demons. He didn’t feel like sleeping since he was still high on adrenaline, and it was obvious from the violet glint in his eye
(yeah sorry it was kinda rushed. I tried my best to add some background information but I had to hurry or you'd be reading an entire 5 page essay of just Kain freaking the fuck out)
Kain burst through the lobby doors, obviously panting as the lights flickered out in the entire room while the securtiy cameras and computers at the service desk detached from their stations and began swirling around the room. The possessed devices went after any being in the lobby at that time besides Kain. He had attempted to use the elevator but the door went haywire as soon as his hand touched the UP button. He sighed ran to the side door, using the stairs to get up to Vos's floor instead.
Finally, on Vos's floor, he began knocking on every door and yelling for Vos as the hallway lights fizzled and burst around him. He didn't have time to remember which apartment was Vos's, all he needed was a response from the handsome demon.
(Lmao it’s fine, I enjoyed reading it)
Vos scowled when he heard shouting, but when the lights in his apartment began flickering, he became more confused than annoyed. The hair on the back of his neck stood on end though when an incredibly powerful electrical signature appeared behind his door. He felt a tingle go up his spine, and he had to take a moment to keep himself from turning and pounding on the signature. He got up and unlocked the door, his eyes now solid violet and an almost excited look in them
As Kain was more or less distracted with the haywire electronics, he didn't notice Vos open his apartment door. Kain, running like a chicken with its head cut off, ran right into Vos's form, muttering a small "oof" as he collided with the Demon King.
Vos full-body shuddered when Kain ran into him. He stumbled back a bit, electricity racing through his veins. Just Kain being near him felt like feeding off a power plant, something that made it very, very difficult to restrain himself
(restrain himself from what, hmm? raises eyebrow)
Kain held onto Vos as he stumbled but steadied himself. He recognized Vos's scent from being so close to him and looked up to see it was indeed Vos's face attached to that perfect body of his. "Pardon me Vos, but what the hell is going on?!" Kain let a small amount worry creep into his voice, holding onto Vos's arms with a death-grip.
(Well basically Vos can “feed” off of electricity and if there’s a bunch of it around he gets a little…excited lol)
Vos licked his lips slowly, containing himself before speaking. “I warned you of changes that might occur once you became a demon. It appears you have finally experienced such changes,” he answered. Though when he spoke their was an undertone of something…hungry, and his voice sounded a bit deeper
(alright so Kain has his powers and his tail does that mean he has his little spiral horns too?)
Kain's body was visibly shaking from the amount of electric current flowing between him and the nearby electronics, though he did feel a slight shudder at how deeper Vos's voice sounded but passed it off quickly. "Indeed I have. Now how do I make it stop?" Kain tried to ask Vos as politely as possible and forcefully keeping his worry out of his own voice.
