donghyuck was lying on jaemin's bed, on top of the covers.

the demon knew that he would get scolded for making the bed messy when jaemin will come back, but he couldn't care less at the moment.

jaemin was in school, surely hanging around mina and trying to keep his secret the best he could.

donghyuck could be with him, but he didn't want to witness jaemin and mina's cuteness added to the unnecessary flirting of mina's angel.

no, donghyuck wanted peace.

he wanted calm.

he needed to think.

these past days had been... eventful.

jaemin's attempted suicide.

the policemen getting a sample of his blood.

jaemin and him burning the lab down.

roman's death.

all in all, it had been pretty busy.

and in addition to all those not-so-joyful events, donghyuck realised he had caught feelings for the human.

great.

donghyuck knew since the beginning that his feelings would get uncontrollable at some point.

when he had first met jaemin, on his 18th birthday, the boy was looking ethereal, and so peaceful.

donghyuck envied him, his calmness, his beauty... everything.

and then, he discovered how much of a broken boy he was.

no parents.

no money.

no love.

and it's this little detail that made donghyuck's feelings switch.

jaemin was the first human donghyuck had been assigned.

the demon was devoted to what he was doing.

the fact that donghyuck has to take care of jaemin is not questionable.

it's what donghyuck is supposed to do.

it's his job.

his duty.

but then, with jaemin pushing him away – what donghyuck never expected could be possible – he started to get way more interested in the boy.

and when he discovered his psychopathic side, donghyuck felt completely repulsed.

he hated the duality of the boy.

he wanted it gone.

but now, it's as if he got used to it.

jaemin is the way he is, and that's what makes him lovable.

donghyuck realised this when jaemin tried to commit suicide.

that day, he got worried sick for the human he had to take care of.

the sole idea of the boy leaving him broke his heart.

and that's when he started questioning his feelings for the human.

and he was quick to realize that he had fallen for him.

who could blame him?

jaemin was a pretty boy. he was shy and reserved, and he was so kind...

and then, he would become NA, a hot and mature man, the exact opposite of jaemin.

if this duality repulsed donghyuck at first, it now attracted him.

donghyuck was completely mesmerized by his switch of personalities.

he wanted to take care of jaemin and tease NA all night.

he loved how the two personalities made him feel different feelings.

complete adoration for the shy boy, and mad attraction for the violent one.

"i really need to stop thinking about him." donghyuck groaned, rolling around the bed and breathing in jaemin's scent from the pillow.

donghyuck placed the fluffy object on his chest, hugging it as if it was jaemin, making a few feathers fly out. the hole jaemin had made by throwing a knife at donghyuck was still open.

donghyuck cringed when he realised how tight he was holding the pillow.

jaemin would never let him hug him that way.

heck, jaemin would never even care for donghyuck as much as the demon cares for him.

jaemin had mina.

donghyuck turned around again, trying to think about something else.

he glanced at the closed window above the sink, noticing that the night had set.

jaemin should be home in a few.

donghyuck stood up from the comfy mattress, knowing that he should tidy the bed before jaemin arrives and gets mad at him.

as he was placing the pillows neatly above the covers, his demon instincts kicked in, as if a 6th sense was telling him that it was his time to shine.

donghyuck knew what it meant.

every demon lived these kinds of episodes.

it meant that it was time for them to interfere in their human's life because their human was doing questionable things.

one problem though, jaemin was too pure to do bad and questionable things, which only meant one thing. NA was there.

"what is he doing now?" donghyuck asked himself before snapping his fingers and teleporting to jaemin in a magical swirl.

he appeared in a dark alley, a few meters behind jaemin who was pinning a struggling girl to the floor, holding her face into the mud.

it was only a matter of seconds before the girl would get her respiratory ways clogged.

jaemin pulled her head out of the mud by her hair, approaching his face from the girl's ear.

"riles' songs aren't songs you can sing out loud anytime..." he whispered as the girl under him whimpered.

jaemin pushed her face down in the mud violently once again.

"jaemin, stop."

the human turned around, his grip on the innocent girl loosening for a second.

"don't tell me what to do."

donghyuck stepped forward, hoping to get a clearer view of the person under his human.

"jaemin!" donghyuck gasped. "that's a child!"

jaemin didn't bulge, he used one of his hands to grab her chin before pulling it up in a swift motion, the crack of her neckbones signalling that she was dead.

"she was singing riles' songs." jaemin told, using his hand to dig the letters 'NA' next to her body.

"this is not a crime, jaemin." donghyuck said.

the killer stopped in his movements, slowly standing up and glaring at donghyuck.

"riles was my mother's favourite singer." jaemin growled. "every single song of him i hear reminds me of her. and whenever i think about her, i see the two ugly red eyes that killed her. and that makes me mad." he continued, taking slow steps towards donghyuck.

"s-stop m-moving." donghyuck said, holding his hand out, ready to stop jaemin by using his magic.

however, jaemin didn't. he continued approaching donghyuck as the scared demon took a few steps backwards, soon colliding with a wall.

seeing that jaemin wasn't about to stop, donghyuck concentrated on his magic, trying to take possession of jaemin's body.

"this shit doesn't work on me anymore." jaemin spat.

donghyuck panicked, looking left and right for something to help him, but there was nothing.

"i am the one to have control over you." jaemin smirked as his body was so close to donghyuck's. "i could kill you."

with that said, jaemin choked donghyuck by placing his hand around the demon's neck.

donghyuck looked at the boy, tears welling to his eyes as jaemin tightened his grip on this throat.

he couldn't do anything.

the human was so scary.

he had control over donghyuck.

he had his life in his hands.

"j-jaemin..." donghyuck let out as air started to lack inside his lungs.

a stray tear escaped donghyuck's eye, rolling down on his tanned cheek before wetting jaemin's forearm that was strangling him.

the human's eyes followed this tear until it crashed onto his arm.

it acted as an eye-opener.

"donghyuck?" he asked, seeing the demon's eyes slowly closing.

he immediately let go the demon's throat, looking at his surrounding with widened eyes.

donghyuck collapsed on the floor, coughing loudly.

"donghyuck, i- " jaemin tried approaching donghyuck to help him, but the demon held his hand out, palm facing jaemin.

"don't... i don't want you near me..." donghyuck said, more tears escaping his eyes.

"let me- "

"no!" donghyuck yelled, startling jaemin. "leave me alone..."

donghyuck disappeared in a snap of fingers, leaving jaemin on his own, with the corpse of a teenager.

the tables had turned.

violently.

i was wondering...

does any of you actually know riles?
