(( Just O//-//O "...")) He wondered to himself of what they were now, sighing softly.

(( PFFFT hes busy probably messing with Ray )) Zian adjusted his position as much as he could being so tightly pushed against Jerneau.

(( honestly that would be possible because of how small Zian is compared to Jerneau which is funny because in the mortal world Hes pretty large compared to humans. )) He looked up at Jerneau questioningly like " So... what now-? "

Zian frowned, honestly not wanting to go back to the hell hole he calls home even though his actual home is 10 times worse, growling softly at the thought of it.

(( yeah hes just internally deciding lol )) " I guess ill stay.. " purring quietly.

(( dinner brb ))

(( probably freak out because hes not to used to affection yet )) He thought about it and it seemed that Jerneau was afraid of EXE and he wondered what bad things would happen if he left.

(( also im back xD ))

Zian jumped a little the crack noise and looked up again smelling the strange scent from the geode.

He stretched his leg out with a small noise somewhat similar to yawn.

(( woop, also... casual angry screaming as my animating Program crashes for the fourth time today)) He smiled for the first time in a while, but kind of worried Jerneau would hurt his hands if he continued to crack open the geodes.

His eyes widened now suddenly wanting to heal it all, knowing he couldnt though he frowned.

He frowned more " sure. " Raising one ear brow.

EYE* dam you auto correct-

(( mksss )) His shoulders tensed up, slightly worried.

He suddenly felt moody again, which was strange since not to long ago he was perfectly happy.

((watching spoofs because wHy NoT? )) He stood up, being the height of Jerneau even though he was sitting down. (( HA ))

(( also sorry I disappeared I was lime ' what should I write.. I HAVE NO IDEA ))

" some kinda of god I assume, why "

Zian just made a confused face, " you know her? "

" oh.. " Looking to side.

" eh... no. Im fine I pretty sure a Demon is not the best thing to bring to a godess. "

"... nahhh. " Looking away moodily.

He kicked the ground lightly, with a bitter expression.

He jumped AgAiN, but relaxed a bit still with the same expression.

he made a small hmph-

He looked up noticed Jerneau's random change in color.

Zian suddenly the small amount of weight from being partially leaned on.

Felt*

He suddenly felt the full weight a wobbled a little.

Delete suddenly from that sentence lol ))

Zian was shocked at how fast Jerneau fell asleep and he kneeled next to him a little worried with how strangely fast he fell asleep.

“ ok.. then? “ walking over and grabbing a few blankets and pillows and set them around Jerneau and under his head with a caring purr.

Zian felt something’s presence a familiar presence which made him on edge and twitchy, then he heard Jerneau wake turning his head.

The presence suddenly grew stronger and he felt a stab of pain run through his head. (( rut roh ))

A black liquid type monster formed near Zian, he looked up in pure horror as one of the monster tendrils wrapped around Zians body. (( It’s a demon, that always tracks Zian when it can apparently in this dimension they were able to somehow find him ))

The liquid from the demon mended it’s neck and it gurgled sounding injured whil the tendrils pulled Zian closer which made Zian frantically grab onto the ground terrified.

(( woop, Zians going to be traumatized after this lol because those were the demons who were part of his past and one of his biggest fears ))

Zian shook immensely his body hurting from the effects of the substance the demon was made of.

The Demon now partially on fire growled fiercely before the liquid seemingly shrunk in on itself and disappeared.

He started to cry from the pain and fear breathing quickening.

Zian coughed the blackness sinking deeper into his skin, his breathing slowing now rather than becoming quick.

Zian suddenly felt the blackness fade of confused he suddenly realized what Jerneau had done which freaked him out seeing as how Jerneau would have a such resistance to the substance as he would being a demon also.

A large amount of worry flooded in “ please give it back I can deal with it I’ve done it many time before… just please. “ crying because of the guilt as well.

“ no- no.. please give it back to me. “ begging Jerneau.

“ it could kill you… but it can’t kill me.. please. “ confirming to himself of this was the reason why he never loved, anyone he loved were in official danger.

“ no.. no… “ crying more uncontrollably, this is all my fault.. all my fault. (( poor Zian TmT ))

He allowed it but just looked off dully letting the black tears dry on his face.

Zian noticed this and was confused, maybe Jerneau had stronger type of resistance.

He closed his eyes for a moment only to open then again when a surge of flash backs came into his head. He hissed, wishing he could escape his own head sometimes.

He made a small sad sound, feeling internally comforted by the purr.

He heard Jerneau but still stared off still fearful.

(( sorry for late response I was playing a game for a bit ))

He closed his eyes holding his head.

He purred at his silliness glad that he was getting better a lot faster than expected.

He went back to staring off, while letting Jerneau snuggle against him.

He made a small noise which emotion couldn’t be identified by.

He curled up, wondering what his species does normally to show affection since demons usually didn’t have relationships due to many of their lovers dying.

He blushed at that purring softly.

He closed his eyes falling asleep shortly after.

He whimpered having a nightmare conjured from the still affective meeting of the one demon.

(( GN cont tomorrow? ))

His body started to shiver from fear.

(( hiyaaa ))

His shivering ceased a little beginning to calm.

He snuggled closer to Jerneau feeling safe around him.

Zian purred softly, subconsciously pushing his face into Jerneau’s chest.

(( HAHaAaa I juSt REaLIzEd XD also sorry- we drive into an area with low WiFi reception))

He continued to purr seemingly a lot better than before.

He made a small noise as if waking up again.

“Hmmm.. “ he opened his eyes slowly.

He looked at Jerneau before blushing madly. (( sorry was drawing Zian hehe ))

He looked to the side with a shy trill.

“ It fine, I think it’s gone for now.. “ looking down.

“ it’s always unexpected… “ face darkening slightly.

“ mhm.. “ knowing what would of really happened if Jerneau hadn’t fought off the demon.

“ ? “ he looked up still with a slightly down expression.

(( it’s gud )) He jumped hearing the voice and instantly was on high alert.

He listened to the other trying to make up his mind on whet her they were friendly or not.

His wings flared out by hearing EXE’s name kinda angry at them still for hurting Jerneau.

(( sorry my last reply as well XD )) He looked away folding his wings slowly.

He folded them fully, confirming whoever this was was probably a friend feeling Jerneau’s feelings

He purred closing his eyes as well and tightening his wings.

His wings faded, and he snuggled against Jerneau purring loudly.

Zian breathed out abruptly, feeeling his magic levels were a lot higher which was a good thing if he needed to use it.

(( haha feeling totally has three e’s- ))

Zian just kinda stayed awake, not feeling tired.

(( brb ))

(( maybe but usually he’s used to Zian doing weird things and getting in trouble a lot ya kinda his reputation XD )) He stared off again listening for any sudden noises.

“ you sleep a lot “ he laughed.

He sighed, standing up and hovering from well to much energy.

“ yes, very much “

He looked at one, even though most of his strategy contained speed.

(( he’s like… How am I supposed to do this without it being weird or embarrassing ))

He looked up in amazement, not really wanting to use his magic because he was used to saving it all for actual fights. Flaring out his wings a bit.

(( he knows it just that he’s like “ waaa I can’t make cool flashy attacks )) He smiled knowing a small trick he usually uses for slaughter without using to much magic. (( heheee he’s gonna show Jerneau his Scythe))

(( https://ibb.co/0mWNYhZ the whole doodle page I was working on now finished XD ))

(( afk ))

(( Hejsjfksnnd I wanna make some but I don’t think I’ll be able to draw them well TmT )) He put his hand out as a small hum of red glowing magic formed a large beautifully designed scythe into his hand.

(( Hhhhhh I’ve tried drawing Jerneau sometimes and I don’t like the outcome I get angry in the middle of the sketch XD )) He took the blade and a chain become visible attached to the end of the blades handle allowing him to throw and spin the blade for deadly mass murder.

(( bad ass Zian is now showing ))

(( I deleted it -cri- )) He took the chain and tugged it making tension before flinging the oddly light but large weapon severing my one of the dummies head before pulling the chain roughly having the blade shoot back into his hand. Before looking at Jerneau happily.

He watched interested in knowing more about Jerneau’s fighting style.

He just stared at the rose blushing. (( HA ))

(( mks )) He took the flower blushing more.

He handed Jerneau his scythe, “ try it. “

(( Srry I went somewhere a forgot to check the rp ))

“ yeah… I made it myself. “ smiling softly.

(( ajdksndkdn Srry bout late response))

He shrugged blushing harder than before.

He shifted his legs shyly, I can make something for you if I have the right materials.

“ I can make something for you if I have the right materials “ *

(( bother late reply TwT ))

“ what would you like?.. “

“ alright… have a smithing area anywhere? “

“ shhhh, I haven’t done the is in awhile, come back in about 5 hours??? “ thinking he might fuse some of his magic with Jerneau’s weapon.

“ alright “ purring back at him.

He began to work on the metal, choosing a flashy yet strong type of metal he found in the forge trying not to get burned knowing Jerneau would not like that very much.

He yelped a little apon burning himself even though he just got done thinking about being careful but yet he was used to burns from his past which he was definitely not going to think about with knives all over the place. Beginning to shape some designs into the now cut out metal blade which was still glowing from the heat.

He flicked the burned part of his arm and lightly ignored it, continuing of the second one now that the other was finished.

He finished the other finally and let them cool before making pretty handle using the geodes Jerneau liked so much and adding some of his magic to give the blade forever sharpness and so they will never rust.

He took both blades which were purposely made bigger than for himself since Jerneau was bigger than himself, and placed in some water to cool completely finished he brushed off some black stains where he burned himself.

He walked out of the forge, putting the injured arm behind his back .

He winced a little hiding the expression quickly. “ there done.. “

He blushed a little, and pulled his arm back more insisting he was fine.

He made a whimper noise, moving away again.

He narrowed his eyes finally allowing Jerneau to heal him.

“ So yeah um… I’ll be back “ going back to the Forge to bring Jerneau’s blades to him since they were most likely done cooling by now.

He came back with the weapons wrapped in a cloth and placed them on the floor in front of Jerneau.

He crossed his legs sitting down, parts of his body semi covered in soot.

(( brb ))

He smiled a little looking to the side to hide a small amount of his blush.

“ Your welcome.. “ he said in a low tone brushing off some ash on his shoulder absently.

He purred to “ you’ll get yourself all dirty “ he laughed.

(( trying to brush my hair and it’s sounds like I’m beating someone with a brush.. ))

He purred now feeling tired again, and snuggled into Jerneau.

He closed his eyes feeling drowsy from so much activity.

He listened to it still awake but just with his eyes closed.

He slowly fell asleep, pushing himself closer to Jerneau’s chest.

His body loosened up and he went limp.

He purred softly in his sleep. (( Brih I did it again I fell asleep with my phone- ))

(( HaH- )) He purred more, sounding very happy.

He moved a little bringing his legs closer to himself. (( sorry, I was unexpectedly supposed to go somewhere- but I can still answer ))

Zian made a small trill noise in his sleep.

(( slow response prob ))

He made another noise smelling the flowers scent and stilled.

He snuggled further into Jerneau even though there had ash covering parts of him.

He had*

(( typo bRrrRr )) He started to purr again falling into an even deeper sleep.

He open his wings providing more heat even though he was sleeping which was actually pretty odd.

He folded his wings around them, even thought they were smaller than Jerneau they were still surprisingly long.

Jerneau’s *

His wings then rested radiating more heat than usual because of his high magic levels.

(( alright I’m with my family rn and I’m reminded of how insane my family is- I want to go home and die )) He breathed out roughly, making a few small noises.

He stirred a little waking up a lot sooner than expected, even though he seemed to be still tired.

He felt the heat of his body a lot higher than usual, and looked up at the flowers.

He fluttered his wings a little to air out the heat that was almost to much heat.

He frowned pulling his wings back to himself locking all the heat.

He felt the remaining outside heat fade away, closing up his wings more.

He sat upright, making a small whimper.

He flicked one wing releasing a puff of hot air.

He did the same with the other wing.

He breathed out again abruptly, looking up at Jerneau.

He aired out his wings again, blinking a few times.

He looked at the holsters then looked back at Jerneau breathing out again.

His arm twitched and he looked up questioningly.

(( Srry lunch I’m back now though )) Zian jolted at the sudden coldness.

He whimpered the large amount of heat against a large amount cold made an uncomfortable mix.

“ stop, I’m fine “ he moved his wings releasing another large pulse of heat.

“ are you alright? “ tightening up his wings again suddenly feeling strange.

He put a hand on Jerneau sending a few waves of healing energy since his magic levels were high he would still be tired but he didn’t really care.

He shook off the weird feeling flaring out his wings again.

Zian let his sleep trying to figure out the problem with the random extra heat he was having so he wouldn’t have to worry Jerneau.

He extended one wing and brushed it with one of his wings feeling the mass heat that might actually hurt him if it continued.

Zian noticed this and walked next to him releasing the heat on Jerneau, kinda confused of how to help.

He folded his wings back into place.

(( sudden company.. again ))

(( Ah yes I love getting yelled at for the stupidest reasons.. ))

Zian breathed lightly feeling it get hotter, still trying to rack his brain of what was going on was he sick? (( Srry for late))

(( went somewhere again ))

He purred as to comfort yes beginning to feel feverish.

Yet*

He continued to purr sitting down and flapping some more warm air as Jerneau.

He pulled his hand up to touch his forehead, surprised by its warmth. Maybe he should use his magic on something if his magic levels were the cause of this even though he had been full of magic several times before drone saving it for important situations.

He snuggled up to Jerneau to make him warmer.

He breathed out heavily a few times.

He was started by the sneeze.

His head was getting clouded which wasn’t good. (( watching my friend spam “ E G G “ In the GC… ))

(( H a a A )) He breathed out again, beginning to sweat a little.

He closed his eyes halfway feeling his pulse speed up.

“ mm.. “ He huffed softly looking around slowly.

He looked at Jerneau’s face twitching a little from the coldness of his hand.

His head lulled forwards with another stressed sound.

Zian blinked sickly looking around again in confusion.

After all the motion he eventually passed out with a huff.

He remained still except for twitching a few time from the sudden cold touch.

He whined subconsciously making delirious purrs.

He inhaled slowly shaking a bit.

Hex suddenly popped into view almost scaring the hell out of Jerneau, before looking and stating with a sarcastic sigh “ what’d he do now-? “

(( Hex go ‘ pop ‘ “ eyooo “ ))

( pfff )) Hex looked at Zian for a few moments walking over “ hmmm strange Zian almost never gets sick, maybe because it’s the change in realms.. “

“ what have you guys been doing these past few days?.. “ placing a hand on Zians head to pull back raising a brow at how high the temperature was.

(( HEHEee )) “ Ah… I see “ he smirked at Jerneau.

“ so like… does he know and if yes what are you “ Hex internally very happy because Zian really needed someone who could support his emotional and physical problems.

(( like relationship wise like are they still debating on what they are like dating partners like how far are they in love basically Lel ))

(( s a m e )) “ mm. alright, I think he should be ok with a cool environment and lots of rest, still don’t know what caused it and you might need to use some ice packs to break the fever. “

Hex followed behind tail swishing behind him, interested in the beauty of the odd realm.

Hex watched in amazement feeling the frozen air. (( sorry I just noticed I won a contest without even knowing lol ))

Zian shivered making a small whimper. - - - Hex looked at Jerneau for a moment “ If you have things handled here I can leave if you’d like “ considering he still had a few things to do.

(( Hex is busy sometimes with a lot of hell jobs, especially when he needs an excuse to hang out with Ray. ))

He nodded “ toddles! “ vanishing with a hum.

Zians temperature started to slowly drop.

After a few long minutes his fever seemed to break finally.

R(( woke up at 4 AM with my phone in my hand again XD ))

His entire body shivered a few times able to feel the cold of the room again.

(( WhEezE PaiiiinNn )) He started to breath normally again and it sounded not as stressed before.

(( HHHhHHhH )) He lay still probably seemingly asleep and out of danger.

(( How the hell do you fall asleep sitting up I wanna know so I can scare my friends shitless. )) His body temperature cooled down thankfully.

Zian stirred a bit being woken up by the cold.

(( heheee ))

He groaned having a massive headache and still felt icky.

He looked up purring back even though it made his head hurt.

Zian snuggled up to Jerneau, feeling his headache get a bit better.

He purred not caring whether it made his headache better or worse still feeling warmer than usual but not to a point where there was something seriously wrong.

(( school so slow response ;-; ))

(( YEaAASS that song is life, dam I wish I could listen to that song rn TmT )) He smiled without showing teeth and purring more.

(( Srry had a test )) His wings faded away becoming cramped in the space between his back and Jerneau’s chest.

(( his wings were being pushed up against Jerneau that’s why they dissolved lol, also now that I think about it a good amount of my male characters bodies look slightly feminine and it irritates me XD)) He just kinda stayed awake not being able to sleep with the headache.

(( p f f t )) He purred back again pulling his legs up to hug them flexibly.

(( dhvfhjgr HA, finishing up another Zian doodle )) He felt another slice of pain go through his head and whimpered.

He relaxed, sinking further into Jerneau’s embrace.

(( not done yet XD and it’s almost full body so HaA PaIn ))

(( Hxhdidyod )) He heard it as well and began to squirm in a large surge of panic.

He continued to struggle, his mental state dropping immensely. (( That thing literally makes him unable to fight from just the huge amount of fear and stress it gives him. ))

(( PffFt T )) Zian shook from the fierceness of Jerneau’s voice to freak out to really pay much more attention than to noise only.

He heard a change in noise direction which was nearer and began to panic more.

(( almost done the drawing UwU ))

(( DoNe and omg I’m so proud of myself. https://ibb.co/wgjNq5Y )) He whimpered closing his eyes feeling tears start to form as a memory came into his head.

The purring seemed to be barely effective as his breathing got quicker.

(( does this mean he’ll still be awake but just like doing nothing lol )) He was mostly in his mind right now memories Surfacing, ones he packed down deep in his head.

(( also thanks XD ))

(( also I’m listening to EPOCH on repeat as well UwU ))

He instantly calmed body slacking and his breathing seemed to calm, and his eyes half lidded.

His attention had completely been drawn away from the threat almost as if all his senses were numbed.

He made a small noise that somewhat resembled a confused chirp.
