Chapter Text
The encounter with Kirio has been annoying Asmodeus since yesterday, he wouldn't for any chance let Kirio try to threaten Iruma ever again, not now that Asmodeus has everything that he could had ask for.
The incubi blood in Asmodeus made him naturally very protective with his things, he always managed to keep his nature in control, to hide his impulses, but every time Iruma was involved in something Asmodeus had a rough time trying to control himself.
Kirio even had the nerve to say that he was going to expose everything that Iruma has been hiding. He is the friend of Iruma, no one knows Iruma better than him, and Iruma could never hide anything from him.
Iruma wouldn't hide anything, at least not from him, right?
Asmodeus ended up not bringing the feather for Iruma's bow, he forgot. Iruma occasionally looked at him and asked if anything was wrong, Asmodeus couldn't tell the truth to Iruma, if he knows that Kirio was here then he will look for him and Asmodeus hates to admit that it makes his throat hurt.
Iruma was very worried since Asmodeus returned from the batora room, it was not usual for Asmodeus to be lost in his thoughts, and every time he tried to ask his friend if anything was wrong Asmodeus would deny it very nervous, he was hiding something from him.
The next day Asmodeus was extremely protective of Iruma, he summoned a wall of fire and didn't let anyone get close to Iruma, Clara was annoyed about this and aggressively waited for the moment Asmodeus went away, so he could grab Iruma and talk with him.
Clara knew why Asmodeus acted like that and it bothered him to see the look in his friend's eyes. When the day was about to end Asmodeus finally left Iruma alone, Iruma was about to leave when Clara grabbed him by the hand and took him out of the school.
"Where are you taking me?" Iruma asked confused.
"We are going to a super special place!" Clara yelled back happily.
They had just left the school, the two were walking side by side, and there was silence between them.
"I'm sorry, I know that this bothers you, but I don't know what to do" Iruma apologized.
"Don't worry Irumachi, I know what we can do to help Azz Azz" Clara said reassuringly, they reached their destination.
It was a small tent, with a lot of toys and candy machines everywhere. Clara opened the door, Iruma was not surprised by how messy everything was. "This is our new house, only for the friends" Clara exclaimed looking at the chaos around her.
Iruma sat down on a cushion, Clara brought a blackboard and started doodling the new hyper duper duper plan to help Asmodeus.
"Listen Iruma, Azz Azz was arguing with someone yesterday and he was suuuper angry"
"With who was he arguing?"
"I couldn't see everything because I was very far," Clara said with an attitude, she can't tell the truth about Kirio to Iruma, he would run to help Kirio, and Clara fears that Iruma will put himself in danger.
"With who he was arguing it's not important, the matter here it's Azz Azz!" She pointed to one of her drawings of the duper plan.
"Azz Azz has been very stressed since the harvest festival and now he is at her limit, in that moment is when you make your appearance!" Clara smiled while doodling another part of the duper plan.
"You should go have fun somewhere with Azz Azz, you two have never gone out, I'm sure that will cheer him up." Clara finished her doodling and showed it to Iruma, he didn't seem to understand anything.
"Clara, don't you think this plan is too much?""
"It's not a dupe or a duper plan, it's a hyper duper duper plan! We are going to help Azz Azz!" Clara said while pointing to one of the doodles.
"Okay, I wanted to discuss something with Azz, so I guess this is a good opportunity"
Clara and Iruma talked about the hyper-duper duper plan almost all day, they were discussing the best places to go with Asmodeus, then someone ran in.
"Iruma, I was looking for you over the whole school, I was so worried!"
"What are you doing here!" Clara exclaimed while jumping off her cushion, trying to hide the blackboard, Iruma saw that and ran to help him.
Asmodeus was so relieved to finally see Iruma that he didn't even notice Clara, when their gazes met Asmodeus saw how Clara and Iruma were desperately trying to hide the board.
"Why are you hiding the board, stupid Clara?"
Clara started shaking like a leaf, she knew that this was not the best moment to talk about this…
"It's just a small thing between me and Irumachi" Clara said. Asmodeus stopped for a moment, his throat started to hurt a little and he started to become dizzy.
"I want to help, please tell me what I need to do" The lungs of Asmodeus started to itch and his body felt strangely warm.
"No, it's not a big deal, it's just between me and Irumachi..." Clara repeated herself. The blood of Asmodeus started to boil, he felt like he was dying.
They are hiding something… From me?
Asmodeus could feel something too solid trying to come out of his throat, tearing at his flesh, his body shakes uncontrollably as he struggles to get some air. He falls violently to the floor as he drowns in his own hot, bubbling blood. Even coughing was painful.
In a desperate attempt to survive he uses magic on his throat, but only makes the situation worse. His lungs are tearing, his tears fall, and something is growing inside him, eating him alive.
Everything around him became blurry, his sight flooded with blood and tears. Iruma grabs his shoulder, yelling something at him. Asmodeus can see Iruma's blurry silhouette, he can feel his tears falling on his own bloody, disgusting face.
Asmodeus can feel Iruma's hands shake, and the blood running through his fingers...Clara sees how Asmodeus tries to gasp for air, trying to escape from his own body. He can't see what it's happening, he is not able to hear anything, and his screams are drowning in his blood.
"Irumachi, take care of Azz Azz, I'm gonna find help!" Clara ran out of the tent as fastest as his little legs let him.
"Don't worry Azz! You are gonna be okay!" Iruma said, but it was already too late.
Panic grips Asmodeus as he struggles to vomit, his vision turned black, and he could hear the pain coming out of his throat and it was so bad that it was making him nauseous. In less than a second Asmodeus can smell the scent of flowers coming out of his throat, beautiful tulips lie on the ground next to the pool of bile and blood.
Asmodeus feels the pain quickly leave his body, his head goes blank and he faints.
