Demon's Summoning (Noise Prince x WolfDog12) [18+]

[Noise Prince]

Inmai was concerned about Izuki's attitiude. He wasn't sure if he was willing to talk about it, and it'd be a little awkward, he was sure. He must be going through a lot, and Inmai wasn't sure if he'd know how to help him. He had medicine, he had food, he had a bed, he had all these things he could give him physically, but he wasn't sure if he was equipped to take care of his familiar emotionally. This was all relatively new territory for him, he'd never really been responsible for something on his own. He knew all the basics from schooling, he knew how to take care of another living thing. But there was no textbook chapter about what to do about emotional trauma. He was on his own here on out.

 

He wasn't sure about what to do for school, either. He had skipped today, and he could probably get away with one or two more days. Professors could be really forgiving about needing time to care for a familiar, and this was a lot more grave than a sky weasel with heavy-liver, when a sky weasel has too much dairy, their liver has to process it and gets heavy, making floating around nearly impossibly, so they can't really move. It's a short-lived illness that mainly serves to worry the sky weasel's owner.

 

But it would be troubling to miss too much, it would be hard to catch up on his schooling. It seemed so selfish to worry about, and of course Izuki came first. He was willing to miss as much class as needed, but he had no idea how long that might be.

 

He prepared dinner, trying not to dwell on that too much. It was more important to take care of Izuki right now, not worry about taking care of him in the near future. That sort of thinking was best done while trying to fall asleep at night. He ate slowly, watching Izuki. He tried to subtly nudge him into eating, but the human only stared at his food.

 

"Why, what's wrong with tomorrow?" He asked Izuki gently. "What is it that you can't do? You don't have to, I'll take care of it if it's troubling you." He moved a little closer and put his hand on his leg. "I'm here, I'm going to help you, Izuki,"

[WolfDog12]

"I'm scared... I don't want tomorrow to come because you will have to go to class... those council people will send me away if your grades plummet because of me... The spell on the door hasn't even been fixed and yet... I know you can't miss any more school than you already have..." Izuki was being selfish... all he did was push his problems onto Inmai and expect everything to be fixed... Sure, the human was weak and told not to fight back but could demons even understand human emotions? They are said to be the most complex beings on Earth so why shouldn't they be just as complex here?

 

Izuki would feel better if he had a charm that deflected demons but there was no way demons would or even could create something like that.... Humans had things like pepper spray but this was a very different world and demons were a lot more powerful.... If only Inmai could stay here and just protect him for.... no, that can't be right... Izuki really was pathetic.

 

"Please just forget about me for now..." No matter how he thought about it, being raped was a terrible and scarring thing that made Izuki want to dress in so many layers that he passed out from heat stroke. He never wanted that to happen again... Of course, it was getting so bad that Izuki didn't think he'd even be able to show his naked body to Inmai again... That wasn't good because after all, the demon had helped him so much...

 

"Inmai? Can I ask for one more favor? Human psychology can be difficult but I only know of one way for me to at least get over my fears enough to be able to let you go to class without having a panic attack... Sometimes, the best therapy for fears is exposure...." Why couldn't he just come out and say it... Heck, he said it once already when he was horny off the medicine. "Please have sex with me!!!" Why couldn't he just say that out lo-..... Oh... wait... That was out loud..... Izuki turned bright red and stared nervously at his feet.

[Noise Prince]

 

I'm sorry… work is just… a lot. I hope you don't mind if we cut down the word count slightly? I think it'd be easier for me to reply more frequently… Hope you don't mind…?

 

 

 

Inmai sighed softly and shook his head.

 

"Listen, I'm prepared to miss a few days. I certainly wasn't going to leave you alone after just one." He told him firmly. "Don't worry about school stuff. If you still need me after a few more days, then I'll bring you to class with me. Maybe I'll teach you our alphabet and you can practice while sitting next to me." He added, just as a passing thought. Izuki might not exactly be in the right mindset to start learning a new language. Or it might just be the distraction he needed.

 

"You don't need to worry about that stuff now, okay? We'll deal with it when it is an issue." He promised him. He stroked his hair again, feeling the volume of his fluffy purple hair.

 

"I'm not abandoning you for a-" he paused when Izuki seemed to blurt that he wanted. Or supposedly wanted. Inmai might have been just as mortified and he shook his head, mostly in disbelief. That really couldn't be what was healthy for humans… could it be? Inmai knew he could ignore it when he was desperate for it with the medicine but right now… this was him. Wasn't it?

 

"I-Izuki… I know you're hurting… but I don't think I should. You're still hurting, you might not be completely healed…" He bit his lip. Was this the right thing though?

[WolfDog12]

"I'm fine, I can still walk and move!! I'm not in any pain... I'm just scared and I don't want to be!!! I don't know how long it will be before I'm ok alone and I don't even know if I can handle going to class with you unless it was a one on one lesson!! I can't stay holed up in here, scared for my life jumping at every demon that walks by me!! Please Inmai!! I know you won't hurt me so please..... please just hold me....." Izuki had stood up suddenly when he lost it but then he crouched down again.

 

The human was in tears right now and hated himself for it. "Man... I never cried.... I was never scared.... But you wouldn't know that because ever since I came here I've done nothing but cry and jump at my own shadow for god's sake...... I just don't want to be scared anymore...." Izuki was basically begging Inmai to reconsider and help him with this problem. It was all he could do.

[Noise Prince]

Inmai was afraid he might have given Izuki whiplash he grabbed him so quickly and held him tightly to his chest, sitting back down with him. What was he supposed to do? He was so afraid of traumatizing him- what if he became just another demon he was afraid of? That he'd forever be terrified even in the presence of his master. Shit… this was hard.

 

"Okay, okay, you're fine…" Inmai whispered, cradling him slightly, rocking back and forth. "I don't want you to be scared and feel helpless. I'll help you in any way I can." He promised. "But… I'm not doing it until you eat dinner." Inmai added.

 

"You don't have to eat all I prepared, but you have to eat enough so that you don't get sick or pass out later. Your body has gone through a lot, it needs to recover, and you need food for that." Inmai explained. "After that, I'll take you however you want."

[WolfDog12]

Izuki thought he was going to get whiplash when he was jerked forwards and into his master's arms. The human sat there for a moment in utter surprise before finally calming down. He felt safe here, comfortable as Inmai held onto his and spoke softly, yet he was also quite firm. Izuki knew he had to listen and eat his dinner but wasn't sure of he could stomach food. Still, if Inmai was willing to compromise, then it was up to the human to do the same and he finally nodded.

 

The little familiar didn't say anything as he was finally released and moved back over to the table. He sat down and took a breath looking at what was on his plate. It looked good. Izuki stared for what felt like forever but finally picked up the sweet fruit and began eating it. It was the tastiest thing he'd ever eaten and tasted sweeter than usual. Not too long after, all the fruit had been eaten and Izuki started to eat everything else as well. Inmai's kind words had been enough to calm the human's nerves and he was eating properly.

 

After the plate was cleared, Izuki sat back and breathed a sigh of relief. He placed his hand on his belly and noticed he'd lost quite a bit of weight over the time. That meal wasn't going to make him healthy again. "Thank you," he whispered. Izuki was so great full to Inmai for everything he had done.

[Noise Prince]

Inmai needed to make sure Izuki was at least as physically healthy as possible, he couldn't let him whither away. Even if he had to spoon feed him, he'd make sure Izuki was eating. He pet his head for a little longer before letting him up to go to the dinner table. He thought it was pretty convenient that the food had cooled down to a more comfortable temperature now. Inmai sat with him and ate his own dinner, watching as Izuki started eating the fruits first- naturally. He took his sweet time before actually starting to eat, but when he did, the fruit went fast. But fortunately, Izuki wasn't going to 'cheat' and just eat the fruit, and he moved on to some of the other things Inmai had prepared for him. Inmai ended up finishing after him, since he was so preoccupied with watching his familiar eat.

 

Inmai took it as a sign that he was feeling better, he ate everything he made him! That was a relief, it wouldn't be good if he could only stomach the sweetest fruits, after all. He was glad that he was able to eat so much, and thought that it would do wonders for his recovery to eat nice, hot meals regularly.

 

"You're welcome," Inmai told him, smiling before finishing his own dinner. He had saved the fruit for last, but left half of it, and slid his plate towards Izuki. After they digest their meal, and if Izuki still wanted it… then Inmai would give it to him. But maybe the meal would be enough to satisfy him for the night.

[WolfDog12]

Izuki didn't even think about how Inmai wasn't eating all of his meal because when he offered it to the human, of course it was accepted and devoured. Of course, even though the kitten wanted to do it and stop being so scared, at this point he found himself going into a food coma. That was bad because all he did was sleep and he needed to start doing things. Sure, he was skinny from not eating anything but if all he did was eat and sleep... well he was Inmai's cat so why wouldn't that be acceptable?

 

"Maybe I can hold off until tomorrow... I think I'm alright for now," Izuki admitted. After that meal, it probably wasn't best for him to get right into an exercise. For now, he wanted to listen to some music and hopefully start feeling better physically. Sure, he was mentally ruined but for now, a sound mind needed a sound body and getting a sound body sounded a hell of a lot easier.

 

"Mind If I listen to some music before I go to sleep?" He wasn't sure why he was asking but he did and was just hoping for his master's support even though it was just something as simple as trying to relax before going to sleep. Maybe he could avoid having nightmares if he was completely relaxed before going to bed.

[Noise Prince]

Inmai smiled, watching his kitten eat the fruit so eagerly. He really was so cute, and quite predictable when it came to sweets. He couldn't wait until he was better, and he could take him for some ice cream. He was sure their special friend was missing them a great deal. But that could always wait, what was important now was Izuki's recovery. Inmai really couldn't imagine how he was feeling, he couldn't fathom the trauma he had undertaken. He was supposed to be able to rely on his master, and instead, he got kidnapped by a bunch of petty demons and…

 

He was in no position to question how Izuki wanted to heal, but having sex with another demon seemed very unusual to Inmai. But the demon was responsible for him, and this was partially his fault, so he'd do what it took to make him feel whole again. Hell, he'd slap and bite and hurt him trying to help, so why should he view this as different? The demon was mentally preparing himself to be asked again, when instead his familiar said they could wait a day.

 

A day! The suspense would kill him by then!

 

"Of course, go ahead, Izuki." Inmai told him gently. It was really cute that he was asking for permission for something so mundane. What a good kitten. "You go ahead and sleep, I'll try to get some schoolwork done."

 

 

Thank you so so much for putting up with me and my absence! I know this happens a lot, and I really appreciate this. I'm in Florida, so I wanted to reply to this earlier this weekend but as you probably guessed, Hurricane Matthew came in like a dick

 

[WolfDog12]

Izuki was happy just having Inmai there in the room with him. For now, the kitten got up and crawled into the bed to sleep some. Hopefully, the demon would be prepared to help in the morning. After all, he'd been protesting this method of healing the whole time when he really shouldn't have. Heck, there were other things that Inmai did that should have come into question a heck of a lot more than this. Izuki's master had slapped and hurt him so many different ways just to make him feel better... why couldn't he do this as well?

 

It didn't take long for Izuki to finally fall asleep but it wasn't falling asleep the he had the problem.. in fact, it was staying asleep where the issue lied. About 30 minutes into sleep, the small human started to be filled with nothing but nightmares. His body tensed up under the blankets and eventually it turned to twitching. Inmai probably was still in the middle of his homework when Izuki woke up, sitting up screaming.

 

Once he stopped screaming, he looked around desperately until he saw where he was and caught sight of his master. Feeling as if he disturbed him, the kitten lowered his head. "S-Sorry...." he breathed.

 

 

 

Hey, don't worry about it. There is someone else I rpg with who lives in Florida so I know all about the struggle. Plus, she is a med student who is always disappearing so don't you worry about it.

 

 

[Noise Prince]

Inmai was feeling a lot better about Izuki, he seemed to be recovering quite a bit, he seemed to be in a better mood. Of course, his psychological wounds would likely always leave scars, but at least Inmai could help make sure they healed. He was his pet, his responsibility, he should have never let it happen in the first place. It was a little hard to concentrate on his work when Izuki was on his mind. He glanced over at the kitten in his bed, and saw that he was already asleep, looking quite peaceful. He relaxed a little, and was able to focus on his school work better once Izuki was asleep.

 

Until after about a little more than half an hour, he suddenly screamed. Inmai jumped a little, and looked over to Izuki, sitting upright, eyes wide and mouth wider. He looked so pale, he was shaking. Inmai bit his lip, and shook his head. His writing could wait, and he could read the chapters he needed to in bed, right? He put away his papers and pen, and took two books with him.

 

"You're not bothering me," He told Izuki, ruffling his hair with a free hand. "Want me to read in bed with you, do you think you'll sleep better that way?" The demon master offered, already climbing into the bed with him.

[WolfDog12]

It tore him up inside to keep making Inmai accommodate everything to take care of him... Why were humans so weak and pathetic? Izuki covered his face with the palms of his hands and dug his fingers into the fringe of his hair, curling up tightly out of frustration. The small human felt so tiny and insignificant and yet, here he was being a huge burden to such a kind demon.

 

Once Inmai was in the bed, Izuki moved over to give his master as much room as possible and laid back down on the very edge of the bed. The human stretched out his legs so his knees wouldn't take up extra room and he covered his face with both arms just trying to avoid all contact. Sure, his master may be extremely kind but right now, the familiar didn't want anything to do with anyone. It was terrible of him to be reacting this way but with each nightmare, he grew more and more afraid and with that more and more withdrawn.

 

It was so nice of Inmai to come over to protect his little kitten but after that nightmare, Izuki seemed even afraid of him. While the memory of what happened was clear as day, the nightmares were distorting it and Inmai was the main predator in this last one. While it was a little more mild, the demon master had given permission to the other demons and it was only a matter of time before his dreams made it so the kind demon was the one hurting him and tearing him to pieces, breaking his hips and tearing his body open.

[Noise Prince]

Inmai frowned when he saw how much Izuki withdrew from him once he was in the bed. He figured it would be wise to not touch or engage with him too much while he stayed like this. He could respect that he needed to be left alone, but Inmai felt it was better to stay close to him. Or maybe that was just his own insecurities. He wanted to feel as if he could be of comfort to Izuki, even if he didn't want to be touched. Plus, he didn't like the idea of him sleeping alone.

 

He opened his textbook and started scanning the page. It was hard to concentrate, to be fair, with a frightened, broken kitten pressing himself as far away as possible, but hey, it wasn't like he was taking serious notes here or anything. Just a review. His priority right now was Izuki, anyway.

 

After several pages, he paused.

 

"Izuki," He whispered. "Are you asleep?"

[WolfDog12]

Izuki just stayed completely still for a very long time. Of course, it stopped when Inmai suddenly called out his name making him jump. The human didn't reply right away but he was clearly awake. Finally, he shook his head a little. "I'm awake.... M-Maybe I should try sleeping in my own bed tonight.... I'd probably keep you awake with all my fidgeting," he quickly said as he started to sit up.

 

Clearly, his last nightmare really had him shaken and the kitten was too scared to even stay this close to Inmai. If his nightmares did get any worse, Izuki certainly didn't want to wake up to the dream's predator right there with him. The human tried crawling out of the bed going to the foot of the bed to try and avoid Inmai the best that he could... That last dream wasn't the worst it could become and yet, he was still scared....

[Noise Prince]

Izuki was still for a long while, which Inmai hoped was a sign that he was asleep, but he jumped when his name was called. So he either woke him up, or he was awake and rigidly still until now. Turns out, it was the latter. The demon frowned, clearly distraught. He didn't want to push Izuki to explain why he felt the way he did, or to create solutions for himself, but it was incredibly frustrating to feel so useless when his pet was hurting so bad.

 

He almost suggested he sleep in his bed, instead, and Inmai would take the cot. But it would be counter-productive to letting Izuki have his own space to be away from Inmai if he needed it. And honestly, now it was as important as ever for Izuki to have some control. He'd been accepting his loss of freedom since his appearance here relatively well, all things considered, and Inmai hoped having his own corner would make up for it, just a little. So he moved his legs out of the way so Izuki could get out of bed more easily.

 

"Let me know if you need anything from me, Izuki. I won't be going asleep myself for a while."

[WolfDog12]

Izuki crawled off the bed and continued to keep his eyes away from Inmai at first. Once he was on his feet again, he thought about what the demon said and wondered if now was a good time to do it. After all, if they waited any longer then the human would only have worse nightmares that scarred him farther. What was he going to do? He was already scared enough now and didn't really want to do anything but that would only get worse soon. The struggle.

 

The human looked over at the bed in the corner... It was scary and lonely over there... He noticed his ipod and headphones still next to his pillow and smiled a bit. "I think I'll be alright," he stated and walked over. The human placed his headphones on and started to listen to all the music that made him feel like he was back home. He closed his eyes and everything just started to melt away. Hours passed and Izuki hardly moved at all.

 

Finally, he sat up in the middle of the night knowing that Inmai was probably asleep by now and that he couldn't sleep in his bed at all. He was trying the last hour and a half only to feel more and more awake. He turned off the music and walked over to Inmai's bed and crawled in really close to him. So close that Izuki actually nuzzled into his master before closing his eyes for a bit more rest.

[Noise Prince]

Inmai was a deep sleeper, he barely stirred when Izuki crawled back into bed, and nuzzled against him. He had an easier time falling asleep than Izuki did, but that didn't mean he fell asleep quickly. He had been pretty used to Izuki sleeping with him in such a short while, the bed felt too large and cold when the pet slept on the other side of the room. He felt it was so much more natural to share a bed. When he wasn't there, Inmai could only think about Izuki, worry about him.

 

When he woke up, there was a human curled up with him on the bed. He was a little surprised, since he seemed so uneasy with him the night before. He wondered when he crawled into bed with him. Could he not sleep? Did he have another nightmare? Did he decide that whatever problem he had sleeping with him, it was more bearable than being by himself? No matter what it was, Inmai couldn't help but be happy that he ended up choosing to be with him.

 

He didn't know how long Izuki had been asleep, and he didn't want to wake him up if he'd only had three or four hours of sleep. He really needed to rest. And Inmai certainly had no complains about sleeping in.

[WolfDog12]

Thankfully Inmai was kind enough to let Izuki sleep because he'd only been asleep about 2 hours by the time the demon had woken. When his master shifted, the human stirred slightly and just pushed in even closer before relaxing again. The human just wanted the comfort of his master and after hearing his music the night before, he was feeling much better. A little while before noon, Izuki did finally wake up. He stirred slowly before opening his eyes and noticing how much light there was in the room. Inmai skipped school again today... three days in a row.... nearly a full week.

 

The purple-haired male sat up and rubbed his eye looking over at Inmai. "You should have gone to class today.... but thanks for staying..." Izuki smiled. "Maybe the seal on the door should be fixed so you can go to school and not worry about me. I'll be fine waiting here for you." Izuki was putting on an act to some extent but at the same time, he did feel much better and it showed. He wasn't as terrified today. "I'M not the only person to have been raped. Sure, the only one to have it done by a demon probably but I can't live my life hiding under a bed or something," he explained. "Still, the next person I do have sex with, I want it to be you.... is that ok, Inmai?"

[Noise Prince]

Inmai lightly stroked Izuki's hair, not even touching his head, just brushing over his thick purple hair. He seemed so peaceful now, it was bizarre to think about just how much pain he'd been suffering. Or what he might be dreaming of now. Hopefully it was a good, restful dread. Izuki deserved that much. Inmai himself was dozing a little time to time. Izuki finally did wake, and the first thing he said was about his schooling.

 

"I haven't missed class." Inmai told him, smiling. It was really so sweet that he was so worried about his attendance when Inmai himself really wasn't too concerned. "I don't have an early class today. It's later in the afternoon." He resisted the urge to hug him tightly, fearing he wouldn't be satisfied until he popped him. He was just so darn cute.

 

"And I haven't been skipping class because I can't get the door fixed, even if I had it fixed on day one, I still would have stayed home with you, Izuki. I want to take care of you here. I'd be pretty useless in class worrying about you the whole time, anyway."

 

He did seem better though. Skipping class really was worth it to see Izuki seem so much more confident and safe. The fact that he was advocating him going to class and leaving him alone for a few hours at a time was a strong indicator. Maybe he could go to class today. While he knew he could catch up in class, it was going to be a bit strenuous, and he'd like to avoid having too difficult a workload. Plus he did have a test at the start of the next week.

 

"Of course that's fine," Inmai told him, gently sitting up with him still glued to his side. "How about I make some lunch, then we can go together to get a new, stronger seal? And if you still feel safe, I'll go to my afternoon class. But if you don't, that's fine. I'll stay home with you."

[WolfDog12]

"Good idea," Izuki stated. He was still a bit unsure about going anywhere or doing anything, but he knew if Inmai was there then he would be fine. But then, the real question was whether or not there was a spell strong enough to lock the door that couldn't be nullified by that demon that managed to break in last time? What if he returned and continued to break the spells until Izuki was left alone with no defense so just anyone could sneak in.... Just then, he remembered something that Inmai had told him.

 

"When we go out to get the spell replaced, it would be a good idea to get a collar as well, wouldn't it? There has to be a collar that will prevent anyone but you from touching me without permission.... Right?" How was he suppose to know if there was or not? Izuki was still unsure about the different types of magic in this world but he certainly was hoping that there was something that could keep him safe from all these attackers and demons that found him so interesting. You'd think because he'd been here a week that things would calm down but it was probably going to get worse with the number of classes Inmai missed, the rumor about him being raped, the new collar, and no one seeing the human for so long either. It was going to be really rough when Izuki left this room again...

 

For the time being, the human just patiently waited for lunch. He had a lot on his mind now and just went about thinking as Inmai did his thing. That charm the shop owner was making for him was probably done yesterday but neither Inmai nor Izuki were able to really leave the room... though that felt like Izuki's fault even though he knew he wasn't the one that asked to be raped and mentally scarred.... What a terrifying experience.

 

The human lost his train of thought when lunch was ready and he got up to have some. Izuki ate slower than usual but still ate a good amount of the food. He didn't eat all of it, claiming that he was full but at least he ate just over a quarter of the food. It may not seem like much but his appetite may now have been all there like it was the other day when he scarfed everything down.

[Noise Prince]

 

god, time gets past me so much! I'm so so sorry, I don't know why this is the rp I'm always losing track of, since you're probably my most active partner. I'm so sorry >

 

 

Inmai pondered that for a minute. A collar like that… it might be tricky to find something that specific in a short amount of time. But that was the best way to keep him safe if all else failed them. Plus, with as strong a lock as he intended to get now, it could be a safety hazard if Izuki needed to get out of the room, and was trapped. Of course, he'd get one anyway if it would take a while to get a collar that would keep Izuki safe.

 

"I'll see what we can get for today. Something like that might take a while. But such a thing exists, in some capacity." Inmai told him.

 

Inmai made a quick, light lunch for the two of them, hoping something lighter would be easier for Izuki to eat. "I need to set time to teach you how to read, and how magic works here." He reminded himself out loud. It had been weeks and Izuki couldn't read any better, nor did he even understand the basics of magic. He'd seen the effects, he knew it existed and could do virtually anything from his point of view, but he'd be pretty clueless if Inmai left that to be his only source of information about it. Magic was a complex science, even if it didn't look like it to a human.

 

He set the plates down on the table and gestured for Izuki to join him. Right now, Inmai wasn't too concerned with anything outside the walls. He was probably being a bit too serendipitous about everything, considering just how far behind he was in class, and that he had neglected his basic chores and errands. But he had to take care of his familiar, it was necessary. So he felt calmly at ease ignoring making a grocery list or remembering to pick up the charm.

 

Inmai watched how Izuki ate, wondering if he had spoiled him too much with his sugary fruits. His favorite was quite heavy and filling, so not the best to have constantly, so he didn't give him any now. He didn't complain though, and ate a good deal of what he had made him.

[WolfDog12]

That's right.... Izuki still had to learn about magic and how to read. Part of him didn't want to learn but he couldn't live like this forever... Who knows, maybe one day he'll be able to go out and run an errand on his own or something. That would take a long time and people still wouldn't approve but no one ever was. There was also a part of him that wanted to go home... even if it was just to be able to see his home one more time.. Too bad that was impossible.

 

Izuki just went on to eat a bit of his meal before stopping and waiting for Inmai. Once the demon was done with the meal, the human stood up and stretched a bit. He knew he needed to bathe but also still was a bit apprehensive to leave the room for any reason. How could he get rid of this terrible fear of leaving the room or by being seen by any demon other than Inmai? Heck, he was already showing signs of distancing himself from his master...

 

"Why do I always feel so scared? Please, I have to do something to fix this. I'll die of stress if I am always so scared of well... everything. Please, Inmai... I don't know what to do anymore..." The human placed his hands around his center and looked like he was about to throw up. What if those demons were bold enough to attack them as they tried to get to the bathroom or something?! Could Inmai take them on again?!

 

If Izuki couldn't learn to get over his fear, he probably would die from stress...

[Noise Prince]

Inmai had a lot on his plate now, he could feel it building on his shoulders like a weight. He had made a list, but he didn't really consider how to go about completely everything. He only had so much time in a day, and it had been feeling like less and less with Izuki's recovery. Looking at the human, Inmai realized that his hair seemed a little greasier, and that he had forgotten about taking him for a shower. That couldn't feel good when he was trying to feel less filthy. Izuki never brought it up himself, but it made him feel neglectful. Luckily Izuki hadn't built up an odor or anything. Yet.

 

Inmai ate the entirety of his meal with ease, and watched how Izuki took his. Even with a lighter meal, he couldn't eat the entirety. He was already so small, Inmai worried about his wasting away.

 

"H-hey now, calm down, Izuki," Inmai told him, placing a hand on his shoulder. "It's okay to be scared, and it'll go away soon. Once you feel safe again, which hopefully will be soon. Because nothing like that will ever happen again." He promised again.

 

"We'll get the seal, we'll get the collar. I'll teach you to read, so you can preoccupy yourself. And, if you're still up to it, I'll have sex with you. However you want it."

Izuki looked over at Inmai who tired to comfort him and finally agreed to do whatever it took to help him not feel so scared. He smiled lightly and nodded before sitting next to his master and leaning against him for a moment. "Think you could teach me a little now of how to read? Even just your alphabet would work. I will translate it into my language and I should be able to learn from there." The human was pretty good at picking up on new languages and being in a strange world where he didn't understand anything would force him to learn fast. At least he could understand spoken language.

 

The purple-haired male got up and went to grab the paper and pencil that Inmai had brought and placed it down when he was allowed to learn the language. Here's hoping they had similar building blocks so it would translate easier. I would suck if their alphabets were so different that proper translation was impossible.

 

"I'll try to save the whole sex thing to be for emergency only so that you don't have to think about it..." Honestly, Izuki was going to give the nightmares one more week. If he was still having them by the end of that or if he were attacked or something, then he would beg his demon master to have sex with him. If it went away then there was nothing to worry about now was there. Here's hoping that everything went smoothly and the nightmares stopped.

"Yes, of course," Inmai told him, putting his arm around him lightly when he leaned into him. "The alphabet is a good start. It's probably quite different than what you're used to, though. You probably won't learn it in a day." Demonic languages didn't follow any human languages' alphabetic rules or grammar, and had no related language families between them. But since he was in complete immersion, and he seemed really smart and quick to learn, he should be able to pick it up. And he could already speak, so that was half the battle, more or less. He was really excited for him to learn to read, and what better distraction?

 

Inmai began listing the pictographs that made up the language, and sketching them down as neatly as possible. The good news was, the stroke order was not important. The bad news was, there were a lot of characters, thanks to the language having a lot more phonemes.

 

"It's easier to memorize them in groups, instead of in order like this," he started writing them again under the alphabet, this time in groups where they had smilier forms. Anything that was a box or in a box was one group, anything that had horizontal lines that weren't box-related in another. Rounded shapes in a third.

 

"We'll work on these over the next few days," Inmai told him. He was now worried about if the fact that since Izuki heard everyone speaking in his own tongue, if that would interfere with his understanding of the words on paper. He'd never learned a language just to read or write, so he wasn't sure how to go about that. That'd have to be something to figure out later.

 

Inmai was a little relieved to hear that Izuki wanted to wait for sex. Even though Inmai had been building himself up for the task since Izuki seemed to really need it, and it felt weird to suddenly accept that he didn't need it now, he was ultimately happy. He'd hate it if Izuki was rushing into it in hopes that sex with his master would 'rewrite' his past experience with being raped. He kissed the top of his head.

 

"Okay. You know I'm here for you, whenever." He promised.
