Chapter 27 - Chapter 27

Aiden woke up not long after he was knocked unconscious, his head hurt so bad, but that wasn't the worst thing that had happened to him.

He was currently lying on a bed in one of the guest rooms Augustus had in this place he called 'house'.

Hiro was sitting next to him. He sat quietly by his side looking quite conflicted. He saw that his fiancé was awake and he smiled gently at him. "You woke up fast," he said.

Xavier reaches out his hand to hug him. "I'm sorry, I lost," he said.

Hiro laughs a bit. "Yes, you did," he replies. "You looked so cool while you were fighting."

Xavier grins. "I know right," he said. Before his mood became down. "Now that I've lost, I need to keep my end of the deal."

"So what was the deal you had with Phoenix?" Hiro asked.

Xavier grunts. "I proposed a deal that if I won he would let you go from being his servant for the rest of the week," he explained.

Hiro felt his heart move, and he felt incredibly guilty. So before Xavier could say what Phoenix's part of the deal was Hiro decided to confess.

"Phoenix and I have been hanging out during the past three days!"

"What?" Xavier said in disbelief.

Hiro holds his shirt nervously. "Phoenix told me to pretend to be miserable in front of you. But I didn't know you would get this worked up and go ahead to challenge Phoenix."

Xavier felt incredibly dumb. It's no wonder Augustus stared at him like he was some kind of idiot yesterday.

Seeing that Xavier was quiet, Hiro assumed he was very angry. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that," he said, apologetically.

Xavier smiled and took Hiro's hand. "It's fine, I'm not angry," he said gently rubbing Hiro's soft hands.

"You're not?" Hiro says, using his free hand to wipe his tears.

"No," Xavier replies reassuring Hiro. "Unfortunately, I lost, and now I have to keep my end of the deal."

He sounded disgruntled and Hiro was curious what his end of the deal was. "What is your end of the deal?"

Xavier folds his hands and scrunches his face angrily. "I have to be Phoenix's underling for the rest of eternity."

"Pft," Hiro laughed a bit.

Xavier glared playfully at him. "Are you making fun of me?" he said in a fake hurt tone.

Hiro laughed cheerfully then he leaned in to give Xavier a peck on his lips. "I love you," he said.

"I love you too," Xavier replies and they both smile at each other lovingly.

"How sweet." They both looked up to see Phoenix, Augustus, and a dark-skinned man with thick curly hair and brown eyes.

It was Phoenix who had spoken. He was wearing a fresh pair of clothes and his mouth was covered in chocolate frosting.

"Why do you look like that?" Hiro asked pointing at his face.

Phoenix blushed in embarrassment and hid behind Augustus, who laughed at him. He takes out his holopad to show them the security footage of why Phoenix's face was covered in chocolate frosting.

Lucifer saw what Augustus was about to do, and pinched him, hard.

It had hurt, but Augustus gave him a frightening-looking smile. Lucifer pouts and huffs at him.

Meanwhile, the man had gone to check out Xavier's nose. "Wow, how are you not in pain right now?"

"I am," Xavier replies, flinching when the man lightly touches his nose. "Oh, it isn't as bad as it looks," he said.

It was initially very bad, but Xavier healed his nose very slowly as he was talking to Hiro, the changes weren't too noticeable either.

"There's no need to do any surgery, just a quick adjustment and healing session, and your nose should be good as new," the doctor explained.

Xavier nods. The doctor then looked at his hand which was still holding Hiro's. "You might want to release your fiancé for this procedure, so you don't break his hand."

Hiro gently squeezes his hand before releasing and the doctor takes out a pair of gloves from the bag he was holding. Wearing them and said, "This is going to hurt."

The doctor leaves and Xavier's nose is back to normal. He was given painkillers to help with the pain and headache.

Augustus escorted the doctor out since he was from the military and his acquaintance.

"So are you ready to become my underling for the rest of eternity?" Lucifer said dramatically to Aiden.

Aiden looks at Lucifer blankly. "Shut up," he said. "Just because I am your underling doesn't mean that we are not going to stop being enemies."

Lucifer yawns at him, indicating that he is bored before he goes to Hiro and clasps his hand. "I'm sorry for tricking you into acting miserable," he said pitifully.

His heterochromatic eyes were teary completing the look.

Hiro smiles at him. "It's fine, Xavier wasn't angry, so I am not going to be angry."

Lucifer scrunched his face when he said that. He knows Hiro wasn't angry, he was just radiating with innocence and positivity. "But I still hope that we are still friends," he said.

Lucifer didn't have the heart to say no to Hiro, it's like capturing a nice forest fairy and tearing out its wings.

He nodded then looked at Aiden with cold deadly eyes. "Protect this child at the cost of your life," he commanded.

Aiden rolls his eyes. "Don't tell what I already know," he said.

"Hmph," Lucifer huffs and drags Hiro away. "Let's go and make videos together for your channel."

Aiden follows behind them because there is no way in the nine circles of hell is he leaving Hiro alone with the Demon King.
