"I knew marathoning something as girly as Doki Doki Pretty Cure the other night would bite me in the ass but I didn't think something like this would happen because of it.." Silas grumbled to himself. The blob demon was drawing nearer and nearer to where Silas and Ran were standing. The large amounts of drool flying out of its mouth was enough to make Silas wince. "S-so uh..What kind of weapon do I have? A sword? A staff? A--" Just as Silas was talking a white horse crop with a pink ribbon tied around it appeared in his hand. "...Horse rider..doohickey." He scrunched his nose at his new weapon and sighed in dismay. But there was no time to complain about his weapon as his life is currently at stake if he doesn't figure out how to even use the darn thing.
The blob finally got close enough to Silas and lunged straight for him. "Whoa!" Silas had managed to swiftly jump out of the way of the demon's jaws before he became blob chow. "Alright, asshole, take THIS!" Silas began frantically whacking the blob demon with his crop but all it was doing was making the demon's body ripple. "My weapon isn't working!" Silas exclaimed, continuously jumping out of the way of the demon's attacks. "A little HELP here?!" He called to Ran who was just casually watching the fight go on in the distance.

Ran rolled his eyes. "It's a riding crop, you idiot. It's made to sting horses without doing any real damage, what do you expect it to do against a demon? Unless you're trying to do BDSM with it," he called to his new human charge. "It's magic, so use it like magic! Just point and shoot!" He paused for a minute, assessing the level of his own strength. "And figure it out fast, that kiss didn't give me enough energy to keep you transformed for more than ten minutes."

"This thing's a wand?" Silas said, staring down at the crop in his hand. He front flipped into the air, a skill acquired through his newfound powers, and turned his body towards the demon. Silas aimed his weapon and felt a surge of energy flowing through his wand. Suddenly a string of words were reverberating through his mind, somewhat prompting him to yell them out. "Pretty Heart Shooter!" A glittery blast of magic flew out of the crop and blew an enormous hole through the demon.
Silas floated back onto the ground and stared at the hole that was put through the demon in awe. "I..I did it..!" He grinned and hopped around jovially. "I did it! I won!"

"Nicely done, boss," Ran said, trying to choke down his laughter. He failed.
"Haha... 'Pretty Heart Shooter', huh?" he snickered, wiping away a tear. "Still at least you're not totally useless." He waved his hand at the boy, and the frilly outfit disappeared, leaving him in his normal clothes once more. "Also, don't be alarmed, but you may feel woozy or pass out for a few minutes soon. Side effect of me consuming your energy and then putting it back into you in the form of demonic power."

"Hey, don't laugh at me!" Silas pouted and folded his arms. He was glad to have been out of that embarrassing outfit, but he was starting to feel extremely tired, just as the demon boy said. "I can't..go to sleep now.." Silas was soon beginning to wobble around and his words becoming slurred. He took a seat on a large rock nearby to keep himself from falling over and rubbed his eyes. "I need answers...why am..I even here..? Why not Heaven or Hell if I really am dead..?" He squinted at Ran, trying as best he could to stay awake.

"Basically, Heaven didn't want you but they thought Hell was too harsh for such a pansy so they shipped you here instead," Ran said boredly. He looked over at the boy who was now slumped against an outcropping of rock trying to hold himself together and felt a small spark of pity. "Eesh... Come on, boss, I'll get you back to the city. If you fall asleep out here and another demon comes by we're both in deep shit." He walked over and helped Silas up, allowing the boy to lean against him for support. "If you want more information, you're just gonna have to wait until you wake, you're not in much of a condition to be remembering things. Eurgh, I hope people don't get the wrong idea when I drag your unconscious body through the city, I'm not THAT low."

"Y-yeah..o..kay.." Silas replied groggily, trying to keep his arm around Ran's shoulder. Not even a minute after, Silas was out like a light.
--
Silas's eyes slowly fluttered open at the sound of police sirens passing outside. He noticed the scent of his bed smelled unfamiliar to what it usually smelled like. "Has Mom been using a different kind of detergent or something..? 'Shit smells sweet for some reason.." He mumbled to himself then switched from the position he was laying and saw Ran sitting in a chair across from him. Silas flipped out of the bed and slammed against the floor. "Oh GODDAMMIT, IT WASN'T A DREAM!" He yelled. Silas quickly realized that the bed he was in, wasn't in fact his bed and the room he was in didn't belong to him either. A mortified expression appeared on Silas's face when he started thinking of what the demon could've done to him while he was passed out and helpless. "You..you had your way with me didn't you..?!" Silas said, covering his mouth in disbelief.

Ran looked up from the laptop he was hunched over and blinked in surprise. Then he burst in to laughter. "Had my... Oh, that's rich! Haha, don't flatter yourself boss, even if I was that desperate I could still pick up someone way hotter than you. Besides, it'd be against our contract."
He shut his laptop and put it on the small table next to the twin-size bed. "You've only been out for like, fifteen, twenty minutes, and most of that was spent carrying your sorry ass here. You're welcome, by the way."

"O-oh.." Silas put his back against the wall and slid down to the ground, pulling his knees into his chest. The reality of him being dead was finally starting to sink in and he was beginning to feel severely isolated. Being around no familiar faces and practically everything in the realm wants to have him on a platter isn't what he'd call the best thing in the world. Silas lifted his and looked at the demon boy. "Hey, what the heck do you mean 'picking someone up would be against our contract'? What even is our contract anyway?" He asked.

Ran leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms. His bondage-y getup was gone, replaced with a simple t-shirt and boxers. "Well, I meant it'd be against the rules of the contract to take advantage of you like that. You have to willingly give me any energy I get from you, unless you say that I'm free to help myself," he explained, picking absentmindedly at his nail polish.
"Normally I'd go over the basic rules before making a contract, but you didn't exactly have the luxury of time. So go ahead and ask any questions you have about it while you've got the chance." He looked up and saw Silas's troubled face, and his expression softened a bit. "Hey, don't worry, boss, this place isn't as bad as the name implies. You'll get along just fine down here."

Silas tried to feel a little encouraged by Ran's reassurance, but it didn't help much. He didn't want to say much of anything to his new demonic roommate, but he figured not speaking to him would get him nowhere and make things even more unbearable than it already was. He then lifted up one finger. "First, why did you want to make a contract with me?" He said and lifted a second finger. "Second, what was that magic shit earlier?" He continued and raised a third finger. "And third, is there any way for me to get out of this hellhole? No pun intended."

Ran raised his own pointer finger. "Demons make contracts to feed on humans. It takes more effort than just killing you right away, but it gets us more in the long run. The typical example is 'selling your soul', but few demons actually feed directly on souls; most eat some other form of life force, like blood or emotional energy. I'm an incubus, so I feed on sexual energy; any arousal I cause in others is like a tasty snack." After explaining the last bit, he winked at Silas.
He raised his second finger. "That 'magic shit' was what you get out of the contract. Not many human can last here long without getting killed by a demon, and the only thing that can hurt demons is demonic magic. When I feed on your energy, it gives me an overflow of power that I can then pour back into you in the form of magical abilities. So you get the ability to defend yourself, and I get a portable buffet. Don't ask me about the form your powers take, though, that one's all you." He snickered.
"And getting out?" he said, wiggling three fingers. "The only way to get out is to die again, and I'm not sure where you go after that. Maybe you just disappear. Hard to say." He paused to let everything sink in. "So, anything else, or are we done for now?"

Silas grimaced and recoiled a bit at the incubus's wink then shook his head to regain his train of thought. "Well, I do have two more questions," He said, scratching the back on his head a little. "What's your name? I just happened to notice I never got it this entire time. And am I seriously going to have to, erm..y'know.." Silas looked away, his cheeks slightly tinged red with an obviously annoyed expression. "Kiss you everytime I need to transform?"

"Oh!" Ran said, leaning forwards. "Yeah, we never actually did introductions did we? My name's Randicarnelascivoretiel, nice to meet you." He held his hand out to shake Silas's. "And yes, you will have to kiss me every time, I can't transform you otherwise," he added smugly. "Lemme think of an easy to understand scale... A quick kiss will get you about five minutes, a longer one will get you ten like we did back there, a french kiss gets twenty minutes, add various amounts of groping for half an hour to an hour... Any longer than that would require, ah, more intimacy." He smirked. "Afterwards, you'll pass out for about twice as long as you were transformed, though when you get better at it you can hold off the fatigue until a more convenient moment."

Silas blinked at the demon's lengthy name. "I'll..just call you Ran. And the name's Silas." He slowly lifted his hand and clasped onto Ran's. He flinced at first, expecting something weird to happen after literally shaking hands with a devil. But oddly enough, nothing out of the ordinary happened. "I guess that's all I needed to know." Silas retracted his hand and looked away again. "Still don't know how I could've died though. I mean, Me? Dead? Really? What the hell happened?"
