Goods Gods, Bad Boys : Series

"Tense, aren't they?" I asked.

"Did you say "tense" or "intense"?" he asked.

"Aren't they both, though, really?" I asked.

"Definitely," he said, nodding his head.

"Remind me, was this little trip really just for me, or was it just because the rest of the council likes watching Divinity Fenikkusu and Prime Legion face-off?" I asked. I managed to tear my eyes away from the god and devil facing off, glancing over at my friend.

"Would we really all bother putting on our uniforms if it wasn't for you?" Wakai asked innocently. Unlike me, he could easily take his eyes off of the two.

"It's requirement when meeting with the Prime Evil Council for our uniforms to be worn. Though I don't know why, since they don't bother being proper enough to don their uniforms," I stated.

"Don't sound so grumpy. You've willingly worn your uniform to every council meeting we've had," Wakai replied airily.

"That's only because I'm not an accepted presence yet. Once I'm actually welcome, you can bet your buns that I'll ditch this itchy, stifling uniform," I grunted in reply, pouting as I turned my eyes back to the not-quite-fight. However, what I saw when I looked back was not Fenikkusu and Legion, but a neon green-eyed devil whom I did not known the name of directly in my face. I couldn’t keep my surprise to myself. I let out a startled shriek, jumping back and grabbing my friend’s arm to use as either a weapon or a shield. Immediately, all attention was now turned to myself and the devil that had been invading my personal space.

Smirking, seeming quite proud of himself, the devil—whom had bent down to be at eye-level with me—now straightened up. “New one is a bit jumpy, hm?” he purred, looking at me but obviously speaking to someone or even everyone else.

“New one isn’t fond of fuckers in his face,” I spat out without thinking. Of course, a split second after shock and surprise shot across all of their faces, it occurred to me the impropriety of my words. I swiftly released Wakai’s arm and stepped away from him, clearing my throat and gathering my composure. “I would appreciate you not speaking as though I were not present,” I swiftly amended my words. Sort of.

The smirk reappeared on the devil’s face. “New one’s got fire. Nice. I like fire,” he said, giving me a look like he might jump and rape me any given second. I would have very subtly moved to use my friend as a shield again, had I not been frozen to my spot by the look he gave me. I didn’t doubt for one minute that he would rape me any given second, if only he were given the chance.

When I didn’t respond (and didn’t breathe or blink or display any other signs of life), Wakai cleared his throat much like I had, dragging at least a little attention to himself now. “Well, now that we’ve all gotten the familiar greetings out of the way, Divinity Fenikkusu and Prime Legion,” he said, tossing less-than-happy looks at the two mentioned, “I believe it is time for the one greeting that is not familiar.”

“Right you are, Divinity Wakai. If I may now have the attention of everyone, I would like to introduce the Prime Evil Council to the newest member of the Gods of Divinty Council,” Kizoku said, stealing the spotlight before forcing it on me. Even if the whole purpose of coming to The Other Place was for me to meet the P.E., I really quite suddenly didn’t want to. Taking a gander around at all of their faces, I could see they were all more than happy to meet me, and would probably all be more than happy to eat me.

“Sound off,” Wakai hissed at me from the corner of his mouth, when all I did was stand there, still frozen.

“…Divinity number sixty-eight, Rauhl,” I said, snapping to attention, though I was now switching from feeling frozen to feeling dazed. This was too much. This was definitely too much. I’d only been a Divinity for five weeks. I couldn’t even handle my fellow council members yet. There was no way I could handle a council full of devils. They were infamous for being the “bad boys” of all of time and space.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, and it will be even more of a pleasure to get to know you,” the devil that had been in my face purred, “I am Prime Asper.” A low bow accompanied his name when he spoke it, but not once did he take those neon eyes of his off of me.

“And I am Prime Jalice,” purred another devil, who all at once had come up and subtly pushed Asper away from me with a bow of his own.

“Yes, well, we’ll do the rest of the introductions over lunch. Everyone will get their turn to greet Divinity Rauhl, so there’s no need to vie for his attention right now,” Wakai said, coming to my rescue. Quite thankfully he slid a protective and somewhat possessive arm around my shoulders, so I didn’t feel like a complete sissy when I clung to his side like he was a life preserver and I was a drowning man.



“So, what did you think of your first cross-council meeting? Wakai asked, glancing at me as we walked. We had just arrived back at the Divinity complex, and he was all smiles. He knew I had hated going to The Other Place. He was enjoying my suffering. He was evil. Absolutely and wholly.

“If you keep smiling like that…” I growled, trailing off since I couldn’t really threaten him. He was more powerful than I was. I would only ever be able to take him if I got really lucky. Still, it didn’t hurt to try a partial threat, as long as he didn’t call my bluff.

“What’ll happen if he keeps smiling like that?” Fenikkusu purred, sliding an arm around me and resting his head on my shoulder, wearing a smile of his own. But of course he would call my bluff, even when my bluff wasn’t directed at him. While he had at first seemed mostly void of emotion, after five weeks of being around him, Fenikkusu had come to reveal himself as quite an in-your-face person. He wasn’t blunt, just bold. He wasn’t asinine, just annoying. Were it not for the fact that he seemed so interested in forcing me to reveal myself to him as well, he might actually be a kind of fun guy to be around.

“Too close. Remove yourself from him,” Wakai said swiftly. Fenikkusu immediately straightened up and stepped back. He didn’t appear particularly bothered by being ordered around like that by Wakai. However, the corners of his smile curled just a little and his eyebrows furrowed a bit closer together now, these being the slightest signs of annoyance. I was only able to notice these small things because I spent so much time studying the other Divinities when we were in the council chambers.

“Wakai, I want intercourse,” Kizoku said out of nowhere. Thankfully, after five weeks, I had become used to these such comments by him. He seemed to quite often ask for sex out of the blue, and so bluntly, too.

“I’m not in the mood, Kizoku,” Wakai said with a sigh.

“When will you be?” Kizoku asked.

“I don’t know. This is my room. I’ll see you later,” Wakai said. He all at once veered away from the rest of the group, all but diving into his room.

“Is he always like that after meeting with the P.E. Council?” I asked curiously, throwing a glance back at my friend’s door as we walked on.

“No. He’s actually just avoiding sex with me lately. I think he slept with someone else and feels guilty,” Kizoku said, sounding rather casual for what he was saying.

“Why should he feel guilty? You guys aren’t boyfriends. You explained it to me yourself,” I said, my gaze moving to the number one Divinity.

“Yes, well, even so, we’re quite exclusive. I myself haven’t slept with anyone other than Wakai in over a year. That’s probably why he feels guilty, if he really did sleep with someone else like I have come to believe,” Kizoku said.

“Why not tell him it’s okay, then?” I asked. He didn’t respond immediately this time. “…Kizoku?” I asked when, after several moments, he hadn’t replied.

“Because it’s not okay, Rauhl. Kizoku is about in love with Wakai. The only reason he hasn’t asked Wakai to be entirely exclusive is because he fears that will make Wakai end the relationship they have currently,” Enzeru jumped in, explaining swiftly and calmly.

“What? Really?” I asked, my eyes widening in shock as I looked at Kizoku. He let out a softly shuddering sigh, averting his gaze as the faintest blush came to his cheeks. He really did love Wakai! “Oh my! You know, I could—” I started to speak, but he swiftly turned his eyes back on me, cutting me off with his gaze alone, “….Or not.”

“Best not. You should worry about your own affairs,” Fenikkusu said.

“What affairs? I don’t have a relationship with anyone,” I said, glancing with confusion at the flame-haired man.

“Exactly. You need one. How ‘bout one with me? Or Enzeru? Or us both?” he asked, smirking as he wrapped his arms around me.

“I haven’t needed a relationship thus far, and I don’t need one now,” I said. I swiftly removed his arms from me, but he was just as swift to embrace me again.

“This is my room. Farewell and Godspeed,” Kizoku said, suddenly departing from our little grouping.

“Hey! Wait! Kizoku! You’re just going to leave me with these two?!” I blurted out, not really meaning to.

“Why do you think I wished you well?” Kizoku asked, throwing me a glance over his shoulder. With those words, he was gone. He’d left me in the hands of these two?! Was he absolutely insane?! I suppose I couldn’t blame him. He was obviously more upset over the Wakai issue than he let on. Still, it was pretty bad of him to leave me like this.

“…I don’t suppose asking nicely with a pretty please would get you to leave me alone?” I asked weakly, looking at Fenikkusu and Enzeru.

“If we left you alone, someone else might come to try to steal you,” Enzeru stated.

“So, what, you’re acting as my bodyguards or caretakers or whatever in Wakai’s stead?” I asked.

“Bodyguards works. I’m more than glad to guard your body,” Fenikkusu purred, the focus of his embrace moving a bit lower.

“Caretakers works, too. We’ll definitely take care of you,” Enzeru said, smirking in the same way that Fenikkusu did. This did not bode well. I still wouldn’t put it past them to gang up on me and rape me.

“I think I can guard my own body and take care of myself,” I said, again removing myself from Fenikkusu’s embrace. I turned around and immediately let out a shriek of terror, jumping back and grabbing onto Fenikkusu for protection. There, standing perfectly upside-down on the ceiling, intense eyes fixed on me and a smile fixed in place on his face, was one of the members of the P.E. Council.

“Prime Legion, how lovely to see you here. Lose something, did you? Your direction? Your sanity, perhaps?” Fenikkusu purred with all of the loathing he felt for the other. As he spoke he swiftly wrapped me in his embrace once more, more than happy to provide me with the protection from the upside-down devil that I was seeking.

“Actually, I misplaced my heart. I was thinking that I had perhaps left it in Divinity Rauhl’s pants,” Legion returned, not taking his eyes off of me.

“Really? I’ll check for it when I take his pants off later. If I find your heart—or your brain, for that matter—then I’ll give you a shout out,” Fenikkusu returned.

“I think I should check for my heart. I don’t believe you’d recognize one if you saw it. And I don’t believe you’d recognize a brain if it bit you in the ass,” Legion said. His tone was airy, but his words were heavy with hatred.

“Nobody needs to check anything. Nothing that belongs to either of you is in my pants,” I growled. By now, of course, I was blushing furiously. They…didn’t pay a single lick of attention to me. I doubted they even noticed I had spoken. They both seemed to tune out everyone and everything else when they were having their little face-offs. From what I had seen so far, anyways.

“Ha! You wouldn’t recognize a brain if it slapped you across the face and poked you in the eyes!” Fenikkusu exclaimed with utter immaturity.

“Enzeru, help?” I asked weakly, looking in the other Divinity’s direction.

“Separate them?” he asked.

“No. Just separate me from Fenikkusu. His grip is growing increasingly tight, and I fear for my ability to breathe,” I admitted.

Enzeru smiled just softly, moving over now. He stood directly behind Fenikkusu and leaned in, running his tongue swiftly along the shell of the other Divinity’s ear before pressing his tongue actually into the ear canal. Almost immediately Fenikkusu released me, his hands swiftly moving around behind him to clutch at some unknown part of Enzeru.

The green-haired Divinity let out a pleased purr, now wrapping his arms around the other’s neck and taking the entire ear into his mouth, sucking softly. “Enzeeeerrrruuu,” Fenikkusu groaned as he leaned back against the one he moaned the name of. Only upon feeling something more than his legs against my back did I actually move away from him.

“Going to fuck right out in the open? Do I have to purchase a ticket to this show, or is it free for any visitor in the Divinity complex?” Legion asked. Though he sounded smug, he actually looked somewhat disturbed. He obviously hated Fenikkusu so much that he couldn’t manage to find this erotic, even if all of the P.E. Council members were as gay as the G.O.D. Council members.

On the other hand, I didn’t hate Enzeru or Fenikkusu, they merely annoyed me to an extent. And, while I was asexual, I found myself quite transfixed by the pair right then. I simply stood there, my eyes somewhat wide and a blush still strongly colouring my cheeks as I watched them.

“Fenikkusu,” Enzeru returned the groan with one of his own, though his was much lower. He’d released the other’s ear from his mouth and was now placing steamy kisses on his neck. His arms were still wrapped around the other, but loosely so as they now slid down his body at a teasingly slow rate.

“Enzeruuu!” Fenikkusu cried, his body jolting. And suddenly I could see why he was reacting so strongly to such small actions on the other’s part. Their auras…they were mixing together. No, they were more than simply mixing. Enzeru’s aura was slithering and curling around Fenikkusu’s aura, even bursting through it in some small areas.

“Oh my Gods,” I breathed, my jaw dropping.

“He’s aura-fucking him,” Legion said, now looking completely disturbed.

“Can he do that?!” I exclaimed, unable to keep myself calm.

“He sure fucking can and he sure fucking is,” Legion said.

“Oh my Gods,” I gasped. I still couldn’t tear my eyes away from them. This was too good. This was too much. It was absolutely overwhelming. Just watching those two, just being near them when they were doing that was making my own aura excite in a way I hadn’t known it could. I couldn’t stop myself from wondering how much more my aura would excite if I was actually in on the activity.

I let out my third shriek of the day as suddenly an aura that was most certainly not holy plunged through mine. Fenikkusu and Enzeru were almost immediately upon me, trying to fend Legion and his aura off. However, having the both of their auras right up on top of mine did not help any. As their auras surrounded my aura, still attempting to connect and mix even if it meant going right through mine, I burst into tears. I no longer was wondering or wanting to see what it was like having your aura mix with another’s. Maybe it was just because they’d both swiftly gotten pissed at Legion daring to try to mix his aura with that of a god’s, but it really didn’t feel good at all to me.

“Stop it! I don’t like this!” I screamed past my tears. I was thinking about nothing other than getting all three of them and their stupid auras away from me now. Therefore, it was both something expected and yet a not-so-pleasant surprise when my two fellow Divinities and the devil let out short shouts of pain, swiftly being forced away from me by my furiously flaring aura.

“Fuck! Rauhl, calm down and settle your aura!” Fenikkusu shouted after backing up out of the range of my aura.

“I can’t!” I shouted back, shooting him a tearful glare. I had no idea what all had transpired in the last few minutes, but it had fucked up my aura very well. I also had no idea how to settle my aura down now that it was so upset by whatever the three idiots had done to it.

“What the fuck is going on here!?” Kouga screamed out, appearing seemingly out of nowhere. I looked in his direction and then did a swift look all around me. There were a lot of the other Divinities here now, actually. I hadn’t noticed them coming out of their rooms and coming over.

“Rauhl, control your aura!” Kizoku shouted, drawing my gaze to him as he made himself noticeable amongst all of the other Divinities.

“I can’t!” I shouted, my voice a little more shrill as horror began to creep through me, not flushing out my panic but making it worse.

“Rauhl!? What’s going on?!” Wakai shouted. He moved swiftly past the others to come closer to my dangerously out of control aura than anyone else.

“Wakai!” I shouted, practically sobbing his name out. He took one look at my panicked and frightened face, and then dove headfirst into my aura. I closed my eyes tightly, my whole body tensing as I used every ounce of power I had to keep my aura from harming my friend, even if I couldn’t keep it from consuming him.

Wakai swiftly pushed his way through my aura, keeping his carefully in check so as not to likewise lose control. I’m pretty sure that not only we both let out a breath of relief when he reached me, but that all of the other Divinities did, too. “Rauhl, I’m sorry if this hurts,” he whispered in my ear as he hugged me tightly to him.

“I’m sorry if it hurts, too,” I whispered back. I could feel it begin a moment later. His aura slowly but surely began eating away at mine, forcing it from within to withdraw. Sure enough, it did hurt. It was only to be expected, though. There was no painless way to handle an out of control aura, unfortunately.

Ten painfully long minutes later, and my aura had been reduced to only a portion of its normal radiance and strength. Wakai and I were both panting hard, gasping for breath after the painful power struggle. I ached all over and was feeling extremely weak and weary, but I managed to just barely cling to both my friend and my consciousness. “…Who…did what…to do that to Rauhl…?” Wakai growled lowly between pants. I weakly lifted my head to look up at him, watching his dark, narrowed eyes roam the faces of the other Divinities.

“…It’s not like we meant to,” Fenikkusu said. Wakai’s eyes fixed on him, narrowing even more now into slits, flashing dangerously.

“I’ll assume that “we” includes Enzeru. Even if it was an accident, you had to be doing something foolhardy to accidentally unsettle and upset Rauhl’s aura. Engaging another’s aura in activity without consent, even accidentally, is a punishable offense,” my friend growled. He was really damn pissed. There were actually a fair few things that were punishable offenses, but rarely were punishments brought up, let alone handed out. We had rules, but we didn’t really keep to them. They were simply there in case we ever needed them. Just like with our uniforms.

I should have very much wanted for both the two gods and the devil to be punished. I’d just gotten both a good scare and a bad pain. It would only be expected of me to desire to see the three of them punished, even if what they had done wasn’t entirely intentional. …But I really didn’t want to see them punished. Well, maybe Legion. It wasn't just because I was achingly weak, either. I really didn’t want Fenikkusu and Enzeru being punished over me. “Wakai, I’m tired,” I whispered, my voice so low even I could barely hear it.

His eyes fell to me now, still dark but also very soft now. “In a few minutes, Rauhl. If punishment is to be handed out, it should be proceeded with immediately,” he said. He wasn’t going to let go easily.

I had two options now. Option one was keeping my mouth shut and allowing a swift punishment to be handed out, saving face. Option two was to act even more pathetic than I currently was, saving the other two from punishment. “…I’m really tired and it really hurts and I just want to sleep, Wakai, please,” I whimpered, managing to force out a few of the retreating tears I’d carefully worked to hold in.

Naturally, he looked quite startled that I would so openly act like this. “…Alright, Rauhl,” he said softly, frowning both softly and sadly. He raised his eyes once more, glaring at Enzeru and Fenikkusu.

“There will be a meeting of the Gods of Divinity Council tomorrow. Prime Legion, you will be present, and you will not drag any of the other Primes into this. If you do not show, you will be forcefully fetched and brought before the G.O.D. Council nonetheless,” Kizoku announced in his bold meeting voice.

“I wouldn’t dream of skipping out on a trip to the chambers of the Divinities,” Legion purred.

“Bastard,” Fenikkusu and I simultaneously muttered under our breath. We both paused, sliding each other a look unreadable and yet obviously surprised.

Wakai stood up with me in his arms now, still holding me close and curled up to his chest. “Come on. You can sleep with me tonight, Rauhl,” Wakai said softly. He threw one last nasty look at two-thirds of the idiots that had put me in this state, and then moved off.

“I’ll be fine in my own room. You don’t have to worry about me, Wakai. Nobody will be stupid enough to come near there tonight,” I mumbled, closing my eyes as I allowed myself to now drift off.



I forced my eyes open, letting out a weak growl at whatever stupidass jerk had woken me up. So much for nobody being stupid enough to come near my room tonight. There were a two whole idiots in my room that didn’t belong there. “Sleeping. Leave,” I grumbled. They didn’t move to leave. “Don’t make me call Wakai,” I growled, slowly sitting up now as I glared at them.

“We want to talk,” Enzeru stated.

“Why do you two always want to talk when I’m absolutely exhausted?” I asked.

“This is only the fourth time,” Fenikkusu said.

“Fifth. I’m counting the time I came in to find you already here and waiting for me. Even if I wasn’t asleep, I was planning on in when I walked in to find you two lounging in my room,” I grunted.

“That’s still only an average of once a week. We talk more often than that, though,” Enzeru said.

“Not one on one. …Or, rather, two on one,” I said through a yawn.

“Point taken. Still, we want to talk,” Fenikkusu said.

“About what?” I asked.

“Today,” he said.

“What part of today? And don’t just say “the bad part”, because, as far as I’m concerned, all of today was bad,” I said flatly.

“The part where you delayed our punishment, thereby making it most likely that one won’t be handed out,” Fenikkusu stated.

“I was tired. I still am. Now that we’ve talked about that, please leave. As I’ve stated multiple times now, I am tired,” I said, already closing my eyes and laying back down.

“You’re not that type,” Fenikkusu said quickly. I peeked my eye open at him, but didn’t sit back up. Seeing he had my attention, he plunged on. “You would never show your weakness like that, no matter how tired you were or how much you ached. And you most certainly wouldn’t show your tears. Even if you actually were hurting that much or felt that weary, you wouldn’t normally show it,” he stated rather than asked.

“…Why did you?” Enzeru added.

Now I opened both of my eyes, slowly sitting up once more as I watched them both. “…I’m….peaceful. A forgive and forget kind of guy. No matter how foolish or foolhardy what you did was, an accident is an accident; and I don’t think accidents merit punishment, no matter the severity of what occurred,” I explained.

“So why didn’t you just say so, instead of giving away your pride to stall the possible punishment?” Fenikkusu asked.

“Because I’m not about to let the entirety of the G.O.D. council know that, let alone even one of the P.E. Council. That would hurt my pride and image far more than looking a bit wounded after such an upset of my aura,” I said matter-of-factly.

“Hmm… That means you won’t be saying you don’t think we should be punished at the meeting tomorrow?” Enzeru asked thoughtfully.

“No. I’m just not going to give my exact reasoning for not wanting to see you punished. I’ll simply say that I’ve recovered swiftly enough, so there’s no reason for punishments to be handed out. Not to you two, anyways. Nobody will question me if I let you two off the hook but don‘t let Legion off so easily. He is a devil, after all,” I said lightly.

“What if you haven’t recovered so swiftly?” Enzeru asked.

“I’m already mostly fine now. There’s no reason I won’t be perfectly fine tomorrow,” I replied without giving it a single thought.

“…What if your aura is disturbed again?” Fenikkusu whispered the question in my ear. In the blink of an eye, he was directly behind me and Enzeru was directly in front of me, both resting on their knees on my bed and almost on top of me.

“Th-That shouldn’t happen…” I said. Already it was happening, though. Our auras weren’t visible yet, but I could feel both of theirs kindly curling around mine. I must say, it felt far nicer than the impromptu mixing of our auras earlier.

“Shouldn’t isn‘t couldn‘t,” Fenikkusu said, still whispering softly in my ear.

“Shouldn’t isn’t won’t,” Enzeru murmured as he placed butterfly kisses along my jaw line. I tilted my head far back, giving him access to me and leaning into him with a low moan. Even while my upper half leaned towards him, though, my lower half was sliding back into Fenikkusu as he traced his hands down my sides with a feather-light touch.

“Shouldn’t is bad,” I said softly to myself, already feeling quite a bit dazed as their auras wrapped around my aura and their bodies wrapped around my body.

“Does it feel bad?” Fenikkusu asked.

“….No. It‘s a bad thing…but it feels good,” I mumbled, another low moan accompanying my words.

“Then it’s fine, whether it’s good or bad,” he murmured, kindly but quickly removing my clothes with his feather-light touch. He was wrong. This wasn’t fine. This was fantastic. Despite my good senses telling me better, I gave in to the part of me that badly wanted this to continue.
