My butt is on you, so please show mercy
Eric took a step forwards. The carousel turned tame. Eric took a step back. Fuck you and your grandparents! You dare to turn away from me? I'll curse all 18 generations of your ancestors! Eric gulped. Well, this carousel had quite the temper. So ferocious.
Was now the whole park trying to exert its possessiveness over Eric? Huh? Was that how it was? Did these inanimate objects think Eric was their lover or what? What bullshit was this? Who came up with a such a bullshit story idea?
No, no, now it wasn't time to break fragile walls. Walls were there for a reason. Eric calmed down.
A step forward. Come here babe~ Let's make out~
A step back. You fucking dare to cheat on me? I'll grind you to dust you bastard two-timing-
A step forward. I'm sorry babe, I was just-
FUCK THIS SHIT! What was this? A fucking high-maintenance and delusional fucking lover and partner?
Kids, listen to me! If you ever come across someone like this, I only have one piece of advice for you.
Run. RUN THE FUCK AWAY.
Don't bother with someone like this! Doesn't matter if they're drop dead attractive, horny or making you rich, it doesn't matter! It's not worth your life to bother with these crazy life sucking vampires!
Eric really hoped this was all just a nightmare. The closer he came to the carousel, the more inviting it was as if it was really seducing Eric. Like fuck you? What's up with you? Act like a bloody inanimate object you are?
Eric gulped. He swore he could hear the seductive voice calling him babe. Yet why the fuck did it sound like a male's and not a female's?
Finally, Eric stood in front of the carousel and it came to a halt. It looked harmless just like a normal carousel. No. Wait. It winked! The fucking horse winked at me! Nope, I'm out! Out! Out! Ou-
You still dare to cheat?
"No, I'm sorry,'' Eric instantly let out a high-pitched shriek and got on the carousel. See, I've planted my butt on you. Are you happy now? Please tell me you are! I've done everything you wanted!
Luckily, to Eric's well-deserved average luck, the carousel slowly spun in a circle as if it was coaxing a child. There were two rows on the carousel. Eric sat on the outer one, on a whatever creature it was that wasn't a horse because for sake of his sanity, Eric didn't want to try out his luck with a man flirting and winking animal!
So, for a good minute, Eric sat there playing ring-around-the-rosie with his sanity until his sanity suddenly became a rabbit and decided to bury itself in the earth away from him. I'm not fucking Alice, you better come back by yourself and stop playing me.
Because each time Eric passed a certain post, he swore he saw something else in the second inner row of the carousel. Ahhhh... there was no way right? Eric was just imagining it. He wasn't a wimp. Yeah, yeah.
But whenever he came across the thing again, a pair of dead eyes looked at him. A-A corpse? Eric was frightened out of his wits but then all of a sudden the corpse disappeared.
Eric breathed a sigh of relief. It was gone . A minute later, Eric still didn't see it again. It was just his hyperactive imagination.
Eric sighed, "How long do I have to ride you until you're satisfied and let me go?"
"Keep it down! I've been here for half-an-hour and can't get out."
"I see, I se-"
SWOOSH!
Eric whipped around faster than whipping cream turning stiff. Indeed! There was someone behind him! Eric almost fell off, if it wasn't for his exceptionally fast reflexes that kept his ass glued and prevented his death.
"Van?'' this time Eric breathed out a sigh of relief. It was just Van. Eric was lucky! He found someone who can help him and-
Wait. What did he say?
"H-Half an hour? You've been on this ride f-for half an hour?" Eric gulped seeing Van's annoyed expression.
"Yeah, are you this stupid?"
Well, Eric knew that Van was prickly but it didn't matter. What mattered was that demons were fucking insane. So, you're telling me that you've been casually enduring this 240km/h death ride here for half-an-hour? No way! Is this something like- once you get on, you can't get off?
Eric wanted to cry. He wanted to die and he wanted to throw a tantrum but he remembered his dignified self and gave Van a hopeless smile.
"Van, help your teacher and let's get out of here ok? It's been hard on you."
Van just rolled his eyes. Eric really thought Van wouldn't say anything but surprisingly he did and unsurprisingly the words that came out of it were vicious.
"If it wasn't for a useless bitch in heat like you coming in here, then we wouldn't be in this mess."
E-Excuse me? What did you just call me? Eric followed Van's line of sight and looked at himself.
He almost choked himself to death, he forgot he still wore Del's clothes. Cough. This was awkward. Van must've misunderstood.
"I-It's not like this. The Demon Lord's clothes were given to me by the butler because mine are being washed after I've taken a bath," Eric quickly thought of an excuse and deliberately referred to Del as the Demon Lord instead of Van's father. That would be only more awkward.
Van gave Eric a 'whatever' look and shut his mouth. Eric had no idea what Van thought and really cursed the fact his only useless skill was still on cooldown! Eric was helpless, completely helpless. One way or another he needed to make Van cooperate with him but Van was really too prickly.
A little hedgehog! The more Eric tried to get closer to him, the more Eric had to suffer. Oh, how Eric wished he could get a demon machete and shave off all of his spikes. Yes, he knew this didn't make any sense and didn't work like that!
Eric wanted to continue talking to Van, at least he didn't have to endure this alone and had company. So, Eric turned around on his creature and faced Van who obviously avoided his stare.
Eric wanted to find a way to make Van acknowledge him but didn't expect he was so desperate to escape that these stupid words flushed out, "You're a demon aren't you?"
Eric quickly stopped himself before he could continue 'so why the fuck can't you get out? Are you that useless?'
Eric almost courted another death! He almost showed his true nature, especially to Van. Out of everyone apart from Nol, Van was the closest who seemed to see through Eric. Wasn't this just throwing fodder to fuel?
Eric quickly smiled the kindest he could and tried to save himself, "I don't really understand the types of demons there are. I've seen Mak having wings, do you have that too?"
But it didn't come over as innocent and chattery as Eric thought. Instead, it seemed more like Eric with his patronising smile looked down on Van and even said that Van, a Demon Lord's son, was lower than a mere butler.
Fuck!
Van sneered.
