The Demon's Wolf

The Demon's Wolf

Homicide had called him into his office and Nightmare was all, but hesitant to go where the currently psychotic demon was at. He was cautious due to the list and he hated that wretched thing, but with reluctance the wolf went, only to see the demon remove that ring from his finger.

His change to Homishideru was noticeable as markings appeared on the dark haired ones face and his eyes seemed to change too. The aura around him generated a dark feel that made Nightmare shiver inside, but he dared not let it be seen as he watched his superior figure set the ring down on the desk and then move eyes to look a the wolf.

The wolf’s ears perked down instantly, cautious of what the other would do. He didn’t back down, nor move as the other advanced to him with a knife, that he must’ve pulled out while the other wasn’t paying attention and sat in front of him. That was when Nightmare got up to go.

“Eh, sorry I have other things to do ” He smiled sheepishly, giving away the fact that he didn’t want to be that at all, but before he can even so vanish, Homishideru pounced him back to the ground. “Get off of me ”

“No, you’re gonna stay and play with me, wolfy-chan.~” Homishideru practically purred, causing Nightmare to flick his ears down once more.

“Play what, exactly..?” Nightmare asked, sitting up now.

“This kind of game,” the demon purred sliding a knife down his wrist blood appearing upon the cut, and Nightmare quickly looked away.

“I don’t heal easily...”

“That’s a shame,” the dark haired one stated, watching Nightmare look away.

“That’s a nice wall ” He lied, before the bleeding wound was placed in front of his face and the wolf looked he other way. “That one’s even better ”

But he couldn’t escape as the wound followed him, and out of desperation, he shut his eyes quickly, closing them tight. Then something wet was felt upon his lips and he hesitantly slipped his tongue out to lick up the liquid substance, the metallically taste of blood upon his tongue.

His eyes opened as the fingers was moved away from his mouth and he eyed the returning wrist. He reacted to it somewhat, eyes dilating and fading to a certain extent and he leaned in and ran his tongue along the bleeding cut.

Homishideru allowed this for a few seconds, before pulling it away. “Mnm.. You have to retain a state of semi-cautious humanity and being.~”

Nightmare folded his ears back, watching the wrist, but nodded, still able to respond. “Hm..” He was only half aware though, as his tail idly swayed side to side.

A hand was placed upon the wolf’s head and began to run along his hair and pet it gently. “Alright. Now can you keep it for that long?” He said with a grin, moving the wrist back to the wolf’s lips, simply curious as usual.

The brunette reacted to the petting hand and rubbed against it slightly before seeing the wrist return and he graciously lapped up the blood. But much to his demise, the wound began to heal over as the other petted him, who wasn’t consciously keeping it from doing so.

As it healed, Nightmare pulled away, tilting his head ever-so-slightly.

“So you’re not so vicious,” Homishideru commented, leaning and nuzzled the wolf.

“If your wound didn’t heal, I may’ve been..” he replied, returning the nuzzle half conscious of what he was doing still.

“I doubt it.. Let’s try this theory, hm?”

“I guess...”

The demon chuckled a bit. “Your one chance to be a rebel and you half decide.”

“That was more of my smarter half..”

“Here then...” He handed the brunette the knife and Nightmare just stared at it.

“Hm?”

Caught off-guard, he was pounced once more, and with a squeak he did his best to keep the knife out of the way so he or the other wouldn’t be cut. The pounce also snapped him back to his original self as well.

“At least you’re not clumsy,” he chuckled again, and the wolf rolled his eyes and set the knife aside.

“Baka.”

Now Homishideru pouted. “I don’t like you either, Wolfy-chan.”

Nightmare blinked and folded his ears down. He didn’t want to get in trouble for the comment so he quickly made up an excuse in my head. “I never said I didn’t like you.. I just called you an.. My best friend ”

The demon laughed and picked up the knife. “Best friend?”

“Eh.. Yeah?”

The subject was seemingly dropped as the other held up the knife to look at the blade. “It looks sharp, doesn’t i–“ A quick movement to go and show him cut his sentence as he had placed a small cut on his own cheek by accident.

“Yeah..” Nightmare responded, his ears folding down to look at the new cut.

“Pity.. I used all of my healing powers for today,” the demon replied with a blink from the blood being delayed before a small trickle dropped from the cut.

He watched the blood drip out, before leaning up and running his tongue along the cut, that metallically taste filling his tongue once more.

And Homishideru blinked to this, the eye above the cut closing as the wolf drew near, but he allowed it.

Nightmare liked the cut till it was clean then pulled back. “Gomen..”

“No no~ You kept sane.” the dark haired one grinned.

“Yeah.. hardly.”

“Ah.. Well.. It doesn’t feel that bad at all anyway. See..” He leaned a bit to slide the tip of his own tongue along the wolf’s cheek in a similar fashion as the other had just done, but minus blood.

He allowed the lick, closing the eye where the other had licked and nodded slightly. “You’re right. It doesn’t feel that bad..”

The subject was changed again. “You know.. I found this list on my desk.”

He folded his ears down to that. “Oh..?”

“Hai.. Technically~ you owe me a lot.”

“Yeah.. So?” Nightmare tilted his head a bit. Homishideru used this to his advantage to connect lips and steal a kiss from the unsuspecting one, whose eyes widened and a slight pinkish hue appeared on his features.

The demon then pouted somewhat.

“Hm..” he blinked, seeing the pout.

But the other only responded with another stolen kiss, nipping the other’s lower lip and applying pressure with a fang to draw blood.

The wolf sort of returned the kiss and gave a small squeak to the sudden nip and licked at some of the blood which filled his mouth.

Homishideru chuckled to the squeak, causing Nightmare to huff a bit. Though the other just wiped the rest of the blood away. “Not my fault you squeaked..”

“It was.. You caught me off-guard with that.”

“Tsk~ You didn’t think about the fact that I bite?”

“No.. Not really..”

“Shame on you, wolfy,” the demon said, nuzzling at him.

“Hn..” he slightly returned the nuzzle.

“Maybe I should make sure you don’t make the same thoughtless mistake again?” And with that said, Homishideru nipped his neck, careful not to draw blood this time.

Nightmare folded his ears down and winced only slightly to the start of the nips as the demon slid his tongue lightly over the nipped area. Then suddenly the demon tilted his head and drew back in to sink fangs into the neck without warning. This made the wolf gasp and winced greatly, attempting to pull away, but Homishideru pressed his hands to the other’s shoulders to keep him from pulling away.

Nightmare grabbed onto the arms, continuing to struggle to get away from the bite, but his attempts proved futile, and finally the demon moved back a bit and licked the wounds clean. He kept his hold on the other’s shoulders and pressed a gentle kiss upon the bitemark, mumbling against the skin.

“Now you won’t forget, will you?”

The wolf growled silent as the other licked it off and nodded slowly. “No, I won’t.”

“Good,” the dark haired one replied, moving a hand to pet him again, and a defeated wolf just refrained from moving away and rubbed against the hand gently.

“And guess what?~” The older one said, moving away from him now. “You remained quite sane.”

“I’m fighting from losing sanity, and there really hasn’t been anything that would cause me to lose it to say..”

“Ah. So your consciousness doesn’t recoil from pain? Interesting..”

“I guess so.. It reacts more to blood or if someone riles me up to an extent.”

“Hm..” he grinned suddenly, causing Nightmare to blink and tilt his head again.

“What..?”

“Nothing.”

“Okay..”

“I think that’s all you owe me, ne?”

“I guess.”

“Of course, being that I own you now..” Homishideru chuckled a bit, the wolf folding his ears down in reaction.

“What to do now?.. Hm.”

“I don’t know..” the other blinked again.

The demon chuckled and teased the wolf. “I’ll let you bite me back if that’ll make you feel better.”

“Not like it’ll change anything?”

“It won’t, of course.”

“Then no point,” Nightmare huffed.

“You’re so smart.~”

“Eh?”

Before anything else could be said, the demon stole another kiss, changing back to Homicide at the same moment and the wolf just blinked, caught-off guard for the third time that evening.

Homicide blinked and turned away, pulling away from him immediately with a cough. “Good evening.. Uhm.. Nightmare.”

“Good evening, Sir..” The brunette replied, adverting his gaze away some.

The superior glanced down and dusted off his shirt compulsively as if checking something, like seeing if it was still there. “Ahem..”

“Yeah.. For the record that was you and not me ”

“I figured.. Yes.. Figured.. That.” He coughed again. “How are you today?”

“Erm.. I’m fine.. You?”

“Dying inside.”

Nightmare pulled at his jacket, covering the bite on his neck. He could only guess how Homicide would treat him if he knew that he bit him.

“Can I ask a question?”

“Hm?”

“I didn’t do anything stupid..?”

“Eh.. No. Not at all ”

“Oh.. Okay.. Great ” The other brightened up noticeably.

The wolf blinked. “Okay then.”

“Yes. Why was I kissing you? Please tell me I tripped over my own two feet.”

“Don’t ask me. I don’t really know myself.”

“Ah.. Good then.”

“I guess.”

The superior patted him on the back and began to wander elsewhere and with that Nightmare vanished quickly to his room to attempt to cover that bite to keep from him and others noticing.

Later that night, Homishideru snuck into Nightmare’s room, avoiding the monsters as he curled up in the other’s bed to sleep.

“No ”

The demon just cling to the wolf. “Good night.~”

“..Night.”

The dark haired one whispered to the other. “Ten.”

“Ten what?”

“Ten ‘o clock.”

“Oh.. I know,” the wolf pouted.

Homishideru petted and snuggled the wolf before going to sleep, and Nightmare rubbed against the hand slightly, pleading in his head to be free, as he fell asleep himself.

“Be up at ten ‘o clock.. Or else.”
