Today was a day off for the Human of Hell. Safe to say, he had nothing to do that day. No plans, no nothing. Just lying in his bed with the cat creature by his side, sleeping peacefully. He sighed before hearing his phone ding. He took it and held it over his head.

Verosika: Hello ~

He saw the text and looked surprised. Then he remembered that Verosika had given him her number the day before when he had gotten help from her on his mission. He decided to text back.

Minato: What's up, V?

Verosika: Oh, good, I wanted to make sure that I had gotten to you

Minato: Good to know.
I would probably do the same thing.

Verosika: Anyway, how are you?

Minato: Just bored today.
Don't got work so I got nothing to do today.

Verosika: Oh, so you're free then?
Would you like to go out sometime this evening?

He thought for a second. This clearly had to be her asking him out. He still figured it could've been weird to be going out with a girl that was literally over twenty years older than him, but then again, he was getting a chance at an actual relationship with someone, might as well take this chance while he can.

Plus, he didn't think he had a shot with Loona considering she didn't see them as anything other than as they both put it 'coworkers with benefits'. Even though he thought that he still had a chance with her.

Minato: I'm down.

Verosika: Then it's a date
I'll text you back what time

He smiled at that, feeling better already. He hopped out of bed, and left the mansion looking happy as ever, making his way into the Imp City.

Of course, the demons that once hunted him still didn't show, but he didn't care as he had grown used to it by that point. It was almost cliche to see a guy be so happy-go-lucky knowing that they hit it off with a girl, but hey, it wasn't anything to not be happy about.

Well, he was smiling widely before he was suddenly grabbed had his back slammed against the alleyway wall. Minato was ready to throw hands before he heard who did it to him.

"So, you wanna fuck around with other demons, huh?" He heard before he got a good look, seeing that it was a hellhound who had him pinned.

"Wha... Loona? What're-?" He was about to say.

"I can smell that whore's scent miles away!" She hissed with venom in her tone as she looked furious. "You were fucking around with her all that time during your mission weren't you!?"

The boy was shocked by how aggressive she was being. Then he finally registered what she had just said to him.

"N-No, but... if I was, so what?" He says as he glared back at her.

"So what!? SO WHAT!?" She yelled as she pulled him back and slammed him into the wall again, cracking it. "You think that just cause I let you fuck my ass that you can just fuck any demon you want now?"

"Why do you care? You said it yourself, we're not a thing. What's it to you if I want to start a relationship with someone who actually wants to have a shot with me?"

"Listen here, you little wanker!" Loona pulled him close into her snout was almost against his face. "If you dare try to do shit with that slut-cubus, I will know."

She then shoved him before she walked off. Minato winced as he rubbed his chest before looking in the direction of where the hellhound left. He growled in annoyance before he decided to continue on with his day.

However, he couldn't help but think about why she had such a fit against him in the first place. She made it clear that she didn't like him, and yet it was like she turned into a jealous girlfriend that caught her boyfriend cheating on her.

Truth be told, he did think that her saying she didn't like him was just a tsundere faze, but he stopped thinking about anime stuff and actually started to believe she meant it. Then again, there was that one time when she teased him on the roof.

All that thinking made him rub his head in frustration as he couldn't put a finger on how she really felt.

"You doing okay?" He heard before looking around, then down and sighed.

"Hi Moxxie, Millie." He says, seeing the imp couple in front of him. "Yeah, just feeling a little shitty this morning."

"Aw, what's botherin' ya, bud? Ya didn't get enough sleep last night?" Millie asks.

"No, I did. Just not exactly feeling the best, right now."

"Hey, if want someone to talk to about it, we'd be happy to listen." Moxxie insists.

"Thanks, but it's really not important."

"Well, we can't have ya been all moppy like that all day." Millie says as she was about to reach out before realizing her height. "Ya mind?" The boy couched down and she patted his back. "Let me guess, you tuckered out from all the missions?"

"Um, yeah, pretty much." He tells her.

"Don't let that get to your head. Happens to the best of us." She reassures him.

"Yeah, we get overwhelmed by these missions too." Moxxie says as she did the same. "Well, that or Blitzo not respecting our personal space. Just gotta push through and the chances we get to relax, we take it."

"True. So don't let that it get to that fuzzy lil' head of yours." Millie then ruffles his hair. "How about ya hang out with us for today?"

"What? Aren't you two on a date or something?" Minato says, puzzled.

"Somethin' like that, but that don't mean that you ain't allowed to join us. 'Sides, I'm sure we'll easily brighten your day, no trouble."

"That and you're the only other coworker who actually holds a sentence with me without insulting me." Moxxie spoke up.

"Alright, alright, you win." Minato says as he stood up. "I can third wheel around for a bit."

"That's the spirit." Millie then says while grabbing his wrist and tugged him along. "Whatever thing messing with ya, we'll give'em somethin' to mess with alright."

"Alright, I can walk on my own."

And so, Minato spent the first part of the day with the imp couple, and they were as expected, kinda a blast to be around. Millie always seemed to bright and cheerful despite how vicious she can get during missions and Moxxie was the calm and sweet type who was just as loving towards her wife. It was a perfect balance in their relationship. Then again, what would Minato know about that?

For the most part he was pretty much the third wheel, but they did try to include him in some conversation. Only problem is that it was stuff that he really didn't have an opinion on whatever they were talking about as he didn't understand most of such.

"You really didn't have to pay for those." Millie says as the three were walking while the boy had bags of groceries in his arms.

"Hey, you already paid for the restaurant earlier. Might as well return the favor." Minato tells her.

"Ain't you just a little sweetheart." She then says while hopping up and pinching one of his cheeks before she landed.

"You sure you don't want one of us to carry some of those bags?" Moxxie asked while holding her arms out.

"I got it. It's no problem." The boy insisted. "This really isn't any trouble for me."

"I'll say. ~" Millie says in an almost flirtish tone. "Someone must work out often. ~"

"How do you think I became an assassin in the first place?" The boy says before getting a laugh from the two. "Really this isn't a problem for me. There's a lot of things worse than just carrying groceries." He says before he stopped and looked behind him.

"Hmm?" Moxxie says as she and Millie stopped. "You good?"

"Sorry about this." Minato then says.

"What?"

Before either of them could ask, he crouched down, wrapping each arm around their waists and jumped high in the air, avoiding bullets that hit the ground. He landed on one of the buildings before he started running across the buildings avoiding gun fire. While running, he did some flips and spins in the air to dodge further.

"What the hell!? What is going on!?" Moxxie says as she held on tightly to the boy.

"Well, when you're a part of a family that has a business centered around assassins that kill people who don't pay their debts, you make a lot of enemies." Minato explained before avoiding more bullets. "Sorry about this."

Again, before he could be asked anything, he reeled back and threw the couple up into the air with the bags of groceries. Then he flipped in the air, wiping out his pistol and revolver, having targeted three imps with SMGs. He pulled the trigger on his pistol twice and the one on his revolver once, hitting all three in the middle of their foreheads.

He put away his guns then jumped into the air, catching the groceries and the couple before he began running across the buildings once again as Millie was laughing while Moxxie was scared shitless, clinging to the boy's chest for dear life.

"And since they now know I'm in Hell and since I look exactly like myself when I was alive, they're on my ass for vengeance." Minato continued to explain. "Either it's them or those other demons that wanna sell my body parts decided to come back."

He ducked, avoiding more bullets before he put Millie and the other groceries in the arm with her wife then spun while wiping out his pistol. Catching a Hellhound on sight and an imp just getting up to shoot, he fired and landed a double headshot before he continued running.

"So yeah, sorry to get you caught up in this mess." Minato apologizes.

"Don't be sorry, hon. It's completely understandable. Actually, pretty relatable now that I think about it." Millie says before he skit to a stop.

"Someone's full of energy." The boy says before reloading his pistol. "How about you let that out, Mills?" He then says while holding it out to her as her eyes sparkled with glee.

"Would I ever!?" She says while swiping the gun before she climbed up and rode on his shoulders. "Giddy up, now!"

"Don't need to tell me twice."

And so, Minato took off once more. Despite the bumpy ride, Millie was able to aim and shoot, gunning down many that were aiming at them without missing a single shot. He jumped down and began running down the street, narrowly avoiding some more bullets as the imp kept firing and hitting more targets along the way.

"Yeehaw!" She shouts with glee before pulling the trigger one more time and hearing a clicking noise instead of a shot fired. "Wait." She pulled the trigger several more times before checking the clip. "It's out."

"Okay, just give it here and you can-" Minato was saying as he turned a corner then skit to a halt. "Ssssssssssssssssshit." He says as he finds hellhounds had blocked off the area.

The mutts all started growing as imps surrounded behind them, the boy putting the couple down before getting on guard. Then they heard clapping and turned in the direction of the sound, seeing what seemed to be a taller, bald, gray-skinned demon wearing a white suit with a matching fedora. He lifted the hat up, revealing his yellow eyes and wide smile with sharp yellow teeth.

"Well, look we got here." He laughed. "Three heads for the price of one."

"Oh great... good to meet you again." Minato says while putting the couple down. "Uh... I'm sorry, I don't know who you are."

"Oh, very funny, boy."

"No, no, seriously. I've seen a lot of faces. I don't remember every single one of the guys I fuck up."

"The name's Bringel Phenex."

"Ahh, right, Pringles Penis. I missed ya man." Minato then laughed while the imp couple and a few of the other demons snorted before covering their mouths.

"You just can't go for a second without mocking me, can you?" The gray-skinned demon says while glaring at the teen.

"I can't go for a second without mocking any one of your guys' asses."

Bringel glared at his men before looking back at the boy. "Ya know, I lost a lot after the shit your parents pulled on me. My clan has-" He was cut off by a short chime.

They all looked around before Minato took his phone out. "Sorry, that's me."

"Right, well, as I was saying. My clan-" Another chime went and he glared.

"Hey man, it's not my fault I got friends and you don't. Maybe you should try to-"

"SHUT UP!" Bringel yelled. "My clan has... probably suffered greatly thanks to you-"

"Actually, it's kinda been disbanded-"

"Oh. My. Fucking-CAN EVERYONE JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!" The demon shouts in fury... then Minato's phone chimed. "AND TURN THAT OFF!"

"Alright, alright. Chill." Minato says before checking his text.

Verosika: How about we meet 10 before 5.

Verosika: I know a good place where we can start our date.

Verosika: I'll make sure it's the best date you ever get. ❤

"Aw geez." He chuckled before texting back.

Minato: One second. In the middle of something.🔪

He then put his phone away. "Alright it's all taken care of."

"You're done? You're not gonna interrupt me again? You're gonna let me finish?" Bringel asks.

"Yep. So uh, what were you saying?"

He stared for a bit as if waiting for something to happen before sighing. "My clan has been through hell on Earth since you Kirigayas started acting like the big shots. So, what do you have to say to yourself now?"

"Hey man, you guys were the ones who came to us for a loan. You should know how things like this work. You don't pay your debt you suffer the consequences." Minato states. "I mean, what did you expect?"

"Nonetheless, now that I finally get an opportunity to get back at you for what you did to me, I'll make sure you're begging for forgiveness by the end of this."

"Ha, okay, Pringles. Not exactly very threatening here." The boy says in a snarky tone.

"How can you be so calm in this situation?" Moxxie asks while referring to the other imps and hellhounds.

"Relax, he doesn't know what's coming." He whispers to her.

"You're not gonna be talking like that for long. There won't be any mercy on your ass." Bringel says.

"Heh, funny. That's what I used to tell your wife before I died." Minato then says.

Millie snorts, the henchmen all stifle laughter, even Moxxie's cheeks puffed from holding her laugh. One of Bringel's eyes twitched.

"Oh, you're dead now."

Without another word, he whipped out a combat knife and charged, roaring with pride. But almost like in slow motion, Minato's fist ignited, and he extended his arm out in front of him. Having no time to react Bringel's face collided with his fist and exploded, sending blood flying everywhere along with his brain matter, eyeballs and skull shards.

The imp couple looked shocked. The other imps and hellhounds had the same look. Watching his headless body land with a splat. With that, the boy sighed before brushing his coat.

"Well, that was disappointing." He says before looking at the others. "Anyone else?"

The other demons had a fearful look on each of their faces before some of them started to back away. However, one seemed to have more confidence than the others as he wiped out a pistol. Minato saw and quickly grabbed Moxxie, lifting her out of the way, avoiding his shot. She looked freaked out, but then as soon as it registered in Millie's head what happened, her eyes turned feral.

"Oh, hell, naw."

She then charged at the hellhound that fired, latching onto his head before whipping out a knife and began stabbing his head with no mercy. As his body fell limp, she growled like an animal as she looked at the rest.

Minato had wide eyes before shrugging and placing Moxxie down and pulled out both pistol and revolver and began lighting up the others. Millie killed the last remaining demons before heaving.

"No one, fucks with my Moxxie!" She yells before stomping on a corpse's head.

"Damn, you got a real one." Minato says as Moxxie nodded.

They heard a clicking from behind and turned to see one imp remaining, holding up a glock, shakily while sweating bullets. The two gave each other a deadpan expression before Moxxie pulled out a gun and shot the other demon in the head.

"Yeah, still pretty disappointing, but at least it's some action I get down here." Minato says before picking up the groceries. "Can't guarantee that some of this are in top shape though."

"Ah, it's fine. Nothing like a little bit of murder to lighten your afternoon." Millie says with a wide smile.

Without further ado, the three continued on with their walk until they made it to the imp couple's house. The two then took the bags from the boy before turning to face him.

"Thanks for helping us." Moxxie says.

"No problem. Sorry to drag you into my troubles with my ol' pals." Minato says.

"Aw, it ain' no big deal. Nothing out of the norm for us." Millie tells him while waving him off. "Also..." She then crouch and bounced up before giving him a kiss on the cheek before she landed. "That was for savin' us." She then says casually.

Minato blushed a bit before putting his hand on his cheek. "Uh, no problem."

Millie then looked at her wife. "Well? Go on Moxxie." She urged. "He saved ya too."

Moxxie blushed before looking back at the boy. "O-Okay." She says before walking up to him shyly. "Could you...?"

The boy shrugged before crouching down and letting her kiss his other cheek before shyly backing away. He chuckled a bit before he stood up.

"Welp, I should probably get going. I got some plans to get ready for." He then waved as he began walking down the street. "Have fun."

The two waved as they watched him until he was out of sight. He thought nothing of the kisses, thinking it was just a kind gesture. He took out his

Minato: I'm back. Wasn't waiting long, were you?

Verosika: No, glad to see you're back.

Minato: So, where do you wanna meet up?
