SEOLUNAR

🕷

seonghwa spun his glass of whiskey over the glowing bar top letting a cigarette hang lazily out of the side of his mouth. the bartender gave him a questioning look and he returned his gaze with a slight nod. hongjoong poured him another glass of amber colored alcohol and slid it in front of him. he raised his scarred eyebrow at the older male and seonghwa smiled knowingly. they'd known each other for so long they didn't even need words to communicate. he flicked some ash into a tray and hongjoong cleared his throat.

"rough night hwa?" he asked as he wiped down the counter top. seonghwa chuckled mirthlessly and downed the shot, feeling the heat of the alcohol warm through his stomach. "you could say that. you'd think with the state that the world is in my job would be easy but some people are just too set in their righteous ways..." he sighed rubbing his forehead in an attempt to assuage his mounting headache. his fingers brushed against the rough black horns that curled out from his head and hissed when pain shot through his skull.

hongjoong hummed and turned away to start putting away some clean glasses that were stacked haphazardly behind the bar. seonghwa had been around him long enough to know that the younger boy was biting his tongue. "you got something to say just fucking say it joong." seonghwa said letting irritation creep into his voice. he strummed his claws over the counter and hongjoong shot him a sharp look. "i'd just be careful if i were you hwa," he said with a sinister glint to his eyes. "i can tell just by looking at you that your heart isn't into damnation like it used to be..."

seonghwa felt a retort dry up in his throat and he turned his attention back to his glass. "i've been doing this shit for a millennia," seonghwa reminisced. his dark eyes are clouded over by some sort of emotion. something harder than bitterness but far more painful than regret. he had lost any sense of purpose he felt long ago and it was as though his existence had become cold and empty. "there just comes a point where your soul is just fucking worn out, joong." he said with a scowl.

hongjoong seemed to quietly contemplate his words before setting down his rag with a sigh. "i know hwa. and you know i'm your best friend right? i'd never turn my back on you no matter what path you chose but..." his eyes darted around the sparsely populated bar before he leaned over to whisper. "just be careful okay? your father isn't exactly the forgiving type. when he decides to step down from the throne he'll expect you to descend in his place—"

"don't you think i know that?" seonghwa snarled as he gripped his shot glass in his hand. his father ruled with an iron fist and expected his son to follow in his blood soaked footsteps. but if seonghwa was truly honest... his heart had never been into leading human souls astray and condemning them to an afterlife of pain and suffering. "my life's never really been mine to begin with..." he whispered before resting his head on his arms.

"what the fuck?" hongjoong muttered. seonghwa looked up from his arms and followed his friend's line of sight to the door. three men looked around the room as they made their way into the dark bar and seonghwa could tell right away that they didn't belong there. from the way they seemed to glow from within to the feathered wings that laid folded against their backs. they wouldn't receive a warm welcome in a place like this but purgatory was neutral ground for angels and demons alike.

as they got closer seonghwa couldn't seem to keep his eyes of the red haired male that led them. he was... absolutely stunning. his hair lit up in a crimson halo above his sharp eyes and his pouty lips were drawn into a defiant line. the older male recalled seeing him here a time or two and in passing at other demonic hotspots. the boy walked ahead with regal authority even as his two companions shot wary glances at the other underworld patrons. they sided up next to him at the bar and seonghwa could overhear their tense conversation.

"why're we here mingi? you know your father is going to be pissed when he finds out you've been hanging out here again—" one of the males with glossy silver hair whispered. mingi shot him a glare before turning to hongjoong. "could i have a shot of whiskey please?" he asked. seonghwa's best friend stared daggers back at him but set a glass down on the counter. he grabbed a bottle of their cheapest liquor and poured him a glass. seonghwa sighed and sat back in his chair, feeling like that headache was coming on whether he wanted it to or not.

hongjoong slid the glass down the bar to the angel named mingi and the male immediately downed the shot. the other taller male with fair blond hair gripped the red head's shoulder. "okay you got your drink now let's go before someone tries to pick a fight min." he said nervously looking over at seonghwa who'd been staring at the trio the entire time.

"oh there won't be any fights in my bar," hongjoong announced as his eyes slid over the angels. "but i can't guarantee your safety out in the parking lot." he said menacingly. the one with silver hair stepped in from of mingi and gave hongjoong an icy look. "are you threatening us demon?" he said with a hard glint to his eyes. hongjoong looked the younger male up and down and ran a forked tongue over his bottom lip. "hmmm well for a pretty angel like you how about i take you somewhere nice and dark and show you a side of heaven you've never seen before." he said hotly. the angel backed away with a furious blush to his cheeks and turned to leave the bar.

"yeosang!" the blond called after him worriedly. he looked between yeosang's retreating back and mingi who remained in his stool at the bar looking conflicted. he chewed on his lip as he debated on chasing after him or staying to protect the red haired boy. mingi ordered another drink and waved off the blond. "go and find him yunho. i'll be okay here by myself." he assured him. yunho sighed and gave mingi a look. "i'll be right back so don't leave min." he warned as he turned and ran out of the bar.

mingi scoffed to himself and down another shot. "i'll do what i want to do." he muttered under his breath. it was at this point that he felt the sharp gaze of the black haired boy and shifted to look back at him. "are you just going to stare at me all night?" he snapped as he placed his head in his hand. "i know you probably don't want an angel sitting next to you drinking your liquor but... i think it's bullshit," mingi stated cheeks flushed from alcohol already. "i'm sick of being told what i can and cannot do with my life. so if i want to drink i fucking will..." mingi said as he shot a glare back at hongjoong.

seonghwa found himself smiling at the defiant angel. here he was going through the same crisis with his own father and he found a kindred soul in someone who lived in a completely different world from his. he found it all extremely amusing and slid one of his shots of whiskey down the bar. the younger boy raised an eyebrow at him which he answered with a raise of his own glass. "propriety be damned," seonghwa said turning his lips up and smiling wickedly. "doesn't it feel good to be bad, angel?"

mingi stared at him for a few moments before throwing his head back and laughing. the sound was like music to the older's ears and he joined in. in purgatory, if only for a moment, he felt a strange comradely with the beautiful angel. mingi gripped the glass in his hand and raised it in seonghwa's direction. "hell yeah it feels good." he chuckled before they both downed their drinks at the same time.

it would take many more drinks than this to get seonghwa tipsy, his body burned through it far too fast, but mingi began wobbling in his seat. there was a fire building in seonghwa's stomach as he watched the other boy, entranced by every move he made. mingi fluffed his red hair and gave seonghwa a flirty smile and it was so unexpected that it sent his stomach into somersaults. "my name's mingi," the younger boy said. "and i really don't belong here..." he laughed covering his face with his hands.

the older boy returned the smile tracing a finger over the countertop. "my name's seonghwa," he responded before fixing mingi with his smoldering gaze. "and i wish i belonged anywhere else." he said looking down at his hands. he ran them through his raven black hair and closed his eyes. there was nothing but the hushed murmur of conversation around them and the clinking of glasses from hongjoong behind the bar. seonghwa was surprised when he felt something brush against his side and opened his eyes to see mingi had come to stand next to him.

"well if i don't belong and you don't want to belong," he said before his eyes flicked up to meet seonghwa's. "they maybe we both belong somewhere else? like... your place maybe?" he asked sounding hopeful. seonghwa's eyes went wide at the proposal and he quickly looked around to be sure he hadn't been overheard by anyone. an angel and a demon, doing anything other than openly hating each other, was definitely forbidden. but maybe some of the alcohol had affected seonghwa because he found himself opening his mouth to whisper. "black harley outside. five minutes."

mingi blushed a bit and gave him a slight nod before he returned to his stool to finish his drink. after a quick scan of the bar seonghwa got up and made his way to the glowing red exit sign. the air was bitingly cold outside as he made his way over to his bike, a vintage and shining jet black harley night rod. he swung a long leg over the seat and turned it on. the powerful engine roared to life beneath him and he loved the feel of her. after a moment he spotted a head of red hair as mingi quietly exited and sauntered over to him.

"nice bike," he commented as he looked over the machine with excitement. he climbed on behind him looping his arms tightly around the older boy's middle. "but i bet you've got something better for me to ride than this, hwa." he whispered seductively before biting the older's earlobe. seonghwa shivered at the breathy way he said his name and felt a smirk creep onto his lips. "we'll see before the end of the night if you can handle what i got, sweetheart." he said darkly before flipping up the kickstand and peeled away from the curb, disappearing into the night in a flash of steel and fumes.

🕷

the cage of the elevator rattled as they made their way down to the basement floor of the warehouse seonghwa had brought them to. mingi hadn't raised any questions but the older could tell he was a bit apprehensive when they walked inside of the crumbling building. the cage they were in jerked a bit and mingi leaned against a wall to keep himself steady. a smile crept onto seonghwa's face as he stalked towards the younger boy.

"having second thoughts my little cherub?" he said teasingly as he put his arms on either side of the other's head, caging him there. mingi scoffed and crossed his arms looking him fiercely in the eyes. seonghwa loved the fire he saw in them and found it irresistible. "do you think you're being cute or something?" he demanded, sounding more than a little irritated. at his tone seonghwa felt his aggression spike, he was done teasing him.

"now," he whispered sinisterly as he leaned in. "what," he continued as he brushed his lips against his jawline. "gave you," he finished warmly against his ear. "that idea?" mingi trembled a bit at the sensation of his breath and noticed how the older boy had pushed his body flush up against his. he was turned on and frightened of the demon as he began to question what his intentions were in bringing him here in the first place.

"so... what exactly are you going to do to me?" he asked as seonghwa nipped down his neck. he hissed a bit at the pain from his sharper incisors as they grazed his skin. the older boy smiled against his neck before trailing back up, tilting the younger's head back against the wall. right as he got to his mouth the elevator shuddered to a stop and the doors creaked open. "are you asking me if i'm going to kill you or not?" he asked.

mingi nodded as his heart rate sped up inside his ears. his mouth was claimed roughly and seonghwa bit down on his lip hard. mingi cried out allowing the other to slip his tongue inside as he kept him trapped against him. he was delirious in his terror to get away, his wings fluttering behind him as he tried to fight against the other's demonic strength. it was utterly useless though and after their dizzying lip lock seonghwa finally pulled away from him gasping. "a little death never killed anyone." the older boy said eerily as he grabbed mingi by the collar and pulled him out of the elevator behind him.

mingi was surprised to discover that they were in an actual apartment. it looked industrial with it's brick walls and modern pieces of furniture made of studded black leather. seonghwa whirled him around and pushed him down onto the nearest couch. his breath left him in a whoosh as he landed on top of his folded wings. before he could replace his breath however, seonghwa descended on him, pressing his lips against his and grinding harshly down onto his now aching member. "f-fuck—" mingi panted as he felt himself grow instantly hard against seonghwa's hips.

the older chuckled at his reaction and sat up so he could rip his shirt off, pulling the shreds from his toned torso. mingi reached up and fumbled with his pants until he got them loose enough to tug them down over his narrow hips. seonghwa's cock bounced free and mingi rapidly began stroking him until he was fully rigid. while his hand worked his magic seonghwa gasped and threw his head back. he felt the younger's hot breath on him for a second before he enveloped him in his mouth. he grabbed the side of the couch digging his claws into the leather the further he went inside.

it was so warm and wet in the younger's mouth as seonghwa continued to let curses fall from his lips. he wound his slender fingers through the younger's hair so he could guide his head over him. the other gagged a bit around him but dug his fingers into seonghwa's ass to bring him in as far as he could. his shallow thrusts grew a bit faster his cock rubbing the roof of his mouth.

"shit cherub," he groaned as mingi sucked on him while running his tongue over his sensitive underside. "you're good at this. do you suck a lot of cock or something?" he asked jokingly. this earned him a sharp slap to his thigh and mingi looked up at him with raw lips. "i-i don't do things like this all the time you know..." he mumbled with a small pout.

seonghwa felt his heart rate speed up at the flustered way the younger looked up at him. it only made him think of just how adorable the angel was so he slid himself over the top of him, dipping his head so he could drop kisses all over his chest. he flicked and sucked at his nipples causing mingi to squirm in pleasure. frustrated when he reached his remaining clothes he yanked mingi's shirt up over his head and tossed it behind him. then he surprised mingi when he flipped him onto his stomach and lifted his hips high in the air.

seonghwa wrapped an arm around his shoulders so he could tug him up higher and growled when mingi rutted back against him. he threw his hair of fire onto his shoulder and looked up at him through half lidded eyes. "are you going to fuck me hwa?" he asked raggedly as the demon pulled his pants down around his knees. seonghwa placed an open mouth kiss on his cheek and jutted his hips forward so his length slid between mingi's ass cheeks.

"oh sweetheart i definitely am," he groaned. mingi smirked and in one swift move knocked him back onto the couch. seonghwa landed on his back gazing up at the mischievous smirk of the angel above him. he turned around and straddled him grinding their leaking members together. "i already told you that i was going to ride you." mingi responded drawing his nails over seonghwa's chest who savored the red streaks his nails left behind. he steadied himself on seonghwa's heaving chest and lifted himself up.

"hey don't you need some prep?" seonghwa asked concerned as mingi guided him to his ass. the younger boy spat on his hand and rubbed it down his length before lowering himself down onto his cock. "we'll just take it slowly—" mingi moaned. seonghwa bit his lip at how tight he felt and unconsciously raised his hips to meet his. "fuck whatever you want sweetheart..."

it took a few minutes as he eased himself down inch by painful inch until his ass met seonghwa's thighs. he sat there feeling full for only a second before raising up and slamming back down. seonghwa's eyes rolled back as he grabbed harshly onto the younger's hips. his claws dug into the pale flesh there until he drew blood and mingi cried out. but the younger never stopped moving, slowly building in intensity as he fucked himself over the older's cock. seonghwa found his dominance incredibly sexy and laid there letting the younger use his body.

"mmm so g-great," mingi whimpered out as he continued to bounce on him, their sweating skin slapping against one another's. mingi sat up straighter and let his wings shakily unfurl as he whispered seonghwa's name between his bruised lips. the older boy watched him from beneath captured by his otherworldly beauty and grunted as he snapped his hips up suddenly speeding up the pace. mingi looked startled at the change and screamed at the brutal way he was being pounded into.

"o-oh s-shit h-h-hwa—" his voice came out jarred with every audible smack of skin. his ass began clenching down onto him and seonghwa never slowed his animalistic thrusting as he chased his own high. he knew that if he watched mingi come undone he would come not long after. he grabbed onto mingi's erection that sat on his heaving stomach and began jerking him off as fast as possible. the younger screwed his eyes shut, the feeling of being fucked mercilessly and being touched was almost too much to bear.

"cum—" mingi whispered as the thrusts reverberated throughout his whole body. "s-soon..."

"do it sweetheart." seonghwa demanded. the way he said it almost sounded like a dare and mingi's wings completely unfurled. the feeling was explosive and numbed everything from his toes up as ecstasy took him. he came in pearly white streams all over the older boy covering his stomach and chest. seonghwa gripped both of his thighs and snapped up a few more times upwards before he too came. he drove himself in as far as he could emptying himself inside the angel with a low moan.

mingi held onto the side of the couch to stay upright because he couldn't trust that his legs wouldn't give out trying to walk. "seonghwa... what was that..." he gasped still coming down from his daze. seonghwa flashed him a wicked smile and sat back on his arms. "i don't know, but it was a hell of a good time." he answered as he ran his claws over mingi's quivering thighs who sighed at the caress.

"i should get cleaned up." mingi stated trying to stand only to be stopped by seonghwa's vice grip. the demon's eyes had grown impossibly dark and he shivered at the way he looked up at him. "why would you do that when i'm not even close to finished with you yet?" he said in a dangerous tone. mingi felt his heart stop at the words and seonghwa abruptly stood. he tugged him over to his bed of black silken sheets with a backwards glance full of desire. "i have many more littles deaths in store for you my angel..." he promised.

🕷

after they were both completely spent from their multiple sessions they laid side by side beneath the sheets of seonghwa's bed. mingi watched the older boy, who had his eyes closed, lazily run a hand up and down his side. he marveled at how attractive he was and all the things they had done in the dark. a flush of goosebumps raised beneath warm fingertips and he was perfectly content to stay that way for as long as possible. but reality would soon set in and they both had to figure out what to do next.

"so what is this?" mingi finally asked breaking the silence. "if anyone found out about this we'd both probably be banished—" seonghwa's chest rumbled as he chuckled stopping his hand on mingi's hip before giving it a squeeze. "i won't just be banished my angel, i will cease to exist," he said as his dark eyes opened to look into his. "it's a fate worse than death. the only fate in store for those like me who crossed the line that we just crossed."

mingi clenched his jaw when he let the gravity of the situation settle in the air around them. he hadn't considered the consequences that seonghwa could face because of this. because of what they had done, what he had propositioned him for. but if there was one thing he did know it was that he wouldn't let anything happen to seonghwa.

"i'm so sorry hwa," mingi murmured as he felt tears well up in his eyes. "if i had known what would happen to you—" he was stopped when the older boy pressed his mouth against his own. they moved together languidly creating pretty sounds between their joined lips. mingi began to feel another fire burning in his stomach until the older boy pulled back to look at him.

"before tonight i was so lost in this world. honestly min, i don't want to be the 'me' i was before i met you. don't be sorry for what you gave me my angel. don't be sorry for freeing me," he said fervently. mingi nodded and let the other's arms encircle him and pull him tightly to him. his heart was thundering in his chest as he breathed him in. he felt as though he could never get tired of this feeling. "which is why i'm leaving," seonghwa said while kissing into his fiery red hair. "and i want you to come with me."

mingi blinked and pulled away to study his face. seonghwa had a defiant gleam to his eyes that softened as soon as he ran a hand through mingi's hair. the younger boy was terrified of the idea of leaving his life and everyone he'd ever known behind. but for some reason he was more afraid of never seeing seonghwa again. the idea made him sick to his stomach.

"i understand its sudden and that if i'm gone you'll be safe. take some time to think about it and—" mingi placed a hand over seonghwa's mouth to quiet him and when he looked at him his face broke out into a brilliant smile. "what a stupid question. of course i'll go with you," he assured his lover. "who the hell is going to keep an eye on you if i don't?" he inquired teasingly.

seonghwa returned the smile and then rolled on top of the younger with a growl. mingi laughed and easily coiled his legs back around him. they kissed until they were breathless and writhing together once again working each other up into a frenzy. the older pulled back and stared down at him affectionately. "forever then?" seonghwa asked as he brushed some red hair behind the younger's ear.

"there's no force in heaven or hell that'll change my mind." mingi replied intensely before their mouths connected again sealing their vow with a kiss.
