Deus sighed heavily. His previously spotless clothes now showed the wear and tare of a day spent in the woods. His body was exhausted and his feet held the signs of an intense day's travels. Even so they were finally done. The bus stop where she could go home, and his apartment where he was staying, were just a bit farther.

In reality he'd just gotten this place from a somewhat eccentric person. The guy had agreed to let him loan out this apartment in exchange for repairing it. The place had been pretty old and ragged when he had found it but since he left his butler there to clean it all day perhaps it looked much better now? Either way he was excited just to have a roof to put over his head.

He exhaled a long low breath. For quite some time he and the girl had traveled in silence. He still didn't even know her name. And after he'd blown up on her he wasn't sure he wanted to try to learn. Not that eh EVER had wanted to learn it but now more than ever he was eager to be away from this awkward encounter.

He approached the bus stop and tucked his hands deep into his pockets. He eyed the stops which were devoid of people. Long ago it had become quite dark and cold. A fresh blanket of snow fell over the city and the whole town had become uncomfortably cold. He checked the times on the bus schedule.

"......."

He checked his phone.

The times again..

"....No way.."

He groaned a bit slapping his hand into his face. "You missed the last bus to campus.." He eyed her with a small awkward frown before turning. "Well, see you later. Luckily I live nearby. I hope you find somewhere to stay!" He said walking away quickly. He knew what came next. He had to escape now or else he'd be drug even deeper into this fiasco.

She couldn't believe her ears. First she missed the bus and now he was really going to.leave her in the street. Why? Does he hate her so much that he would just let her freeze to death in the middle of town? She had no where to go and no money or food.

"You can't be serious!" She shrieked. "I just helped you out of the forest and you would just happily leave me in the middle of town in the snow with a broken wing?! You can't be that cruel!"

Even though she said this she knew he could be. He was an evil man no matter how good he looked in a suit. Maybe she was wrong about him deserving love because at this moment in the frozen air, he seemed to easily fit in. This weather was unloving and could care less about what it did to you. All these things resembled him.

The cold was taking its toll on her as she tried to ignore her shivering wings. She didn't deserve this. She hadn't done anything but help him!

He groaned slowly, planting his face into his hand with a sigh. He turned looking towards her with a glare before looking back to his own home. It would be so easy.. so very easy to just go home and forget her. But more than anyone he knew how rough it was being left out in the cold.

He let out a long drawn out sigh of utter defeat. "Fine. Come on." He said annoyed.

There was still a bit of a problem. When he left earlier his apartment had been a dirty run down old room. Now he was going to show her? She'd know instantly that he was hiding something about his wealth. Despite being rich he had cut off his own inheritance and because of that he was extremely poor. Due to this he'd been homeless for weeks before finally finding this cheap place.

But this place was dirty, somewhat smelly, and not that luxurious. Definitely not suited to his image. He could only hope his butler had made it presentable..

~~~~~~

The two exited an elevator for his apartment. He stopped, taking a breath and closing his eyes, hopeful..

He opened the door.

The entire place had been transformed. Immediately within was the living room Hardwood floors, polished and stained, lead into the room. Crisp white walls. The entire room flowed back to the back wall which was a solid wall of only glass. From the window you could get a view of the whole city.

The counters were polished marble. All of the faucets were brand new. The entire building looked crisp. There was a sparsity of furniture. Only a couch and a small end stable in the living room area with no actual table for dining. All the dishes were done, floors were cleaned, and counters sparkled.

'....how?! HOW DID HE TRANSFORM IT INTO A PARADISE LIKE THIS?! HE PAINTED IT ALL? STAINED THE HARDWOOD? FIXED THE COUNTERS?! AND HOW DID HE EVEN PAY FOR ALL THIS! THERE WAS A WALL BACK IN THE BACK OF THIS APARTMENT YESTERDAY?! HUH?! WHAT?!?'

"Ah.. Welcome to my home.." Deus said managing to keep the shock from his face. This was incredible.

"Welcome back, master." Thanatos said emerging. He had a butler's uniform minus the jacket. He wore a crisp black uniform with long tails in the back. A white button down under a vest with black shoes and black gloves. He looked no older than Deus himself and had silver hair. "I was beginning to get worried.. You look filthy.." He took Deus' coat before walkign off to the laundry which was in a hallway closet. He then returned to the girl..

".. Make yourself comfortable. I'll be back shortly." He bustled off for a bit.

Deus sighed slowly. "Come in..." He said stepping into his apartment. He walked over to his stove pulling off a pot of freshly brewed tea. He poured up a cup for himself and the girl before moving to the living room.

She couldn't believe her eyes. She tightened her wings closer to her body self consciously and followed Dues inside. She inhaled heavily, taking in the fresh paint and polish smell. She had never EVER been in a house this nice before. Her and her previous foster parent just lived in a little old abandoned house that he found and "restored." She wasn't sure how CPS really felt about this but she would have given anything to live in a house like this. She didn't understand how a boy could afford all this but she wasn't too worried about it and it wasn't her business.

"This place is really nice," she whispered as she followed him in and took the tea from his hands. It felt so warm in her hands and she shuddered happily in pleasure. She followed him into the living room and sat down with him. After an awkward moment of silence she decided to break it.

"So..." she started calmly, trying no to make him anymore made than he was, "how did you end up in Hyakuji?"

She glaced at him, not really sure what else she could say to him. He apparently had a heart or else he wouldn't have brought her to his home. That's intriguing.

Deus sighed heavily. "I'm an elf prince" He said with a grin. "The elf king and queen fell ill after the elf king's wicked brother poisoned him and so I had to escape the elf kingdom.." Deus said planting his hands on his sides with a suppressed laugh. Although the story itself wasn't far from reality there was no way for her to know that, He walked over to a picture in a frame. He picked it up and turned it down so she couldn't see it.

"Ma'am." Thanatos said emerging. "I've drawn a bath and picked out some clothes for you to wear while I wash them. If you wouldn't mind I'd very much like to clean your clothes." He said bowing his head towards the girl.

Deus smirked somewhat. "good, she's stinking up my apartment with those sweaty clothes. I'll change as well in my room."

"I'll throw in yours with the wash as well, then sir." He said before motioning to a basket. "If you'll leave them in this basket and set it outside the door then I will wash them."

~~~~~~
TIME WARP
~~~~~~

The clothes left for her were obviously Deus'. Sweats with a draw string and an over sized t-shirt. Both were quite obviously too big for her but then it was all they had.

Deus himself was finally back in the living room, he was wearing a pair of light slacks and a button down. On the table was some hot soup for her. Deus' portion had already been mostly consumed. He was starving after having spent so much time in the woods. For the time being he was idly reading the paper.

"'An elf prince' my ass," she muttered as she finished her tea and followed his butler into the back and took an awkward bath - due to the fact that she's used to showers because of her wings. The sweats were huge but waaaay beyond comfortable and warm. When she came back into the living room she watch Deus eat his soup and stare out the huge window. She glanced at the picture frame that he had laid face down and tried her hardest not to look at it.

She walked to the couch and sat with her legs crossed and her hands deep in her lap. She wore gloves and long sleeves for a reason. Short sleeve t-shirts revealed her all-too-noticable scars that covered her arms and now there was no use in trying to hide them. They were disgusting to her and even though they weren't as bad as the rest, they still held painful memories.

She took the soup from the butler's hands and grinned up at him. "Thank you."

He walked away and left her alone with Deus. "Thank you for letting me stay here for the night..."

Deus eyed her warily. "Wearing a man's clothing somehow suits girls. Even so it's not like I can say a girl like you is cute." He said before stretching with a yawn. He listened to what she said with mild disinterest before finally replying. "..It could be worse." He said with a shrug.


"And you DID lead me out of the woods so I owed you a bit.." He eyed her before shifting and picking up his bowl. He walked over to the sink and placed it within. He turned around and leaned back with his arms crossed. "So how did you like the soup..?" He said idly. "I made it. It's an elf recipe." He said with a wry grin. He wasn't exactly sure how to deal with having a person here.


It felt strange. For quite some time he'd been alone in the cold. So having a roof again and living back in his usual state of luxury was beyond relieving. Even so this person being here managed to throw all that into chaos. "Oh, and how's your wing?" He said motioning towards her, noting that his make-shift split was gone after her bath.

"Did you just call me ugly?" She asked as she leaned back, glaring daggers at his cocky little smile.

She sighed and nodded when he asked her about the soup. "It's good," she replied, simply ignoring his whole elf cover. "And my wing is fine I guess. It's as good as its going to get."

Him looking at her in his clothes made looking him in the eye a little difficult. She unconsciously ran a finger softly on the long scar under her forearm as she looked out the window. She had some questions.

"Why were you in the woods and DO NOT say it involved some secret elf business."

Deus picked up a glass and drank from it slowly as he listened to her. The really was no end to how amusing she could be. Getting upset over every little thing and taking him so seriously. Not to mention her flustered expression telling how uncomfortable she was. And yet stubbornly she refused to admit it. It was too much fun to watch these various expressions, and it made him want to tease her more.

"Ohh.. It's good..?" He said with a frown. "It's just good. i'd heard i'm something of a culinary genius. I even got first place in my competitions when I was a child. But if it's just good then that's fine.." He set his cup down wandering towards her. "Why not be a little more honest and admit how much you love it?" He said with a grin.

"I had to dance with the faeries." Deus said walking over and placing a hand on the table as he leaned over and eyed her. "My private life is not your business.. please recall you're here on my own kindness.." He said in a cold tone before turning from her. "i'm going to catch a quick shower. You can eat out of the fridge but access to my room is forbidden. pervert." He said before walking away.

The room she was in was now empty.

She sighed and pulled her legs up to her chest. She didn't know what to make of him. He was hot but his personality totally ruined that for him. He had a heart but it was hidden under this crazy, rock hard exterior. She wanted to know him and she didn't understand why or why he wouldn't even acknowledge the fact she wanted to are about him.

She buried her face in her knees. This was totally eating her up and there was no way was going to get an ounce of sleep. God please make this night just a little bit more the way she wanted it to go.

Deus stepped into the room a few minutes later with his towel around his waist eying the picture frame. He smirked a bit. "You didn't touch it..?" He said as he walked across the room and grabbed it. "I'd forgot I left it out in plain view but.. you didn't touch it." He said planting a hand on his side. "I'm glad." He said before turning and walking away. He stopped halfway across the room.

".."

He glanced back to her. "The fairy prince had a mother and a father that both loved him very much.. Then one day the prince's dad, the king, died, so the prince suddenly felt sad. A curse was placed on him and he had to do a job he hated. And he got even more sad. And after that the queen fell sick... That's the truth.. In a sense." He said placing a hand on the door frame. He walked into the other room and changed.

~~~~~

After a bit he returned with his button down and slacks back on, now freshly washed up for the night. He felt much better. His aching feet felt better and his soreness was decreased quite a bit.

"So what's you're name anyhow." He said sitting down on the couch and leaning back with a yawn.

She blinked and stared at him with wide eyes. He just told her the truth. Well...kind of and on top of that he walked in half naked. God loved her.

His words were still ringing in her head when he turned and walked out. Cursed? Why was he sad and most importantly, was his mom okay? Was he alone? No wonder her was so hard to get through to: he had no one else to worry about. But why was it such a burden to him to worry or love people.

These questions still shot in her head and she barely noticed him walk in and ask for her name. "I...um its Asami," she muttered.

She looked over at him. "Is the prince still sad or does he not really care anymore?"

She looked back down. "Do you wanna hear a story?

"The elf prince is living an annoying life because this queen of misfortune won't go away from him." He said with a perfectly cheerful expression flashing a thumbs up. His overly cheerful facade might even come across as frightening.

He shifted back in his seat looking up a the ceiling. "No. I want to go to bed." He said flatly towards her at the offer of her story. Of course he was just teasing her a bit. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and smirked, planting his hands behind his head. "But I guess it can count as a bedtime story." He said, relenting a bit for her sake. It was obviously tit for tat. She was going to tell him something now since he had told her something. That's how it seemed at least.

"But it has to be about a duck." He said raising a single hand into the air as if to point at this imaginary duck. "These are the laws of the elf prince." He said, for some reason sticking with his stupid cover identity. The only thing more mysterious than his past was the screwed up way his brain worked and how he had developed such an odd sense of humor.

"Okay," she muttered as she planted her feet on the ground and sat back againt her wings. "Once upon a time there was an average little duck who had great arents, great friends, and a great life. One day however, the duck became abnormal. She sprouted two extra limbs and gained an unusual power. Her parents tried to hide her but her neighbors ratted her out. The government came and took her away. Her parents didn't even put up a fight. These crazy government scientists came and they put the duck in a cage where she couldn't even stand or straighten her legs. They would always cut her open without putting her under or they would inject her with some type of chemical. They left scars everywhere but her face..."

She fell silent...thinking about all the things they did not knowing if she could go on.

"... I see.." Deus said eying her from the corner of his eyes. He patted her on the head with his right hand before exhaling. "Sounds like a sad story. But the story hasn't ended so long as it's still alive." He said gazing distantly from her, retracting his hand. He couldn't help but want to pat her head when he heard her say something like that with tears welled up in her eyes.

He wanted to see her other expressions. But this was one he didn't want to see again for a long time.

He smirked. "A tragic story doesn't have to be a tragedy. All you have to do is smile at the ending and suddenly it becomes a happy ending." He leaned forward and exhaled a long slow breath. "Not that you'd know anything about that, I'm sure! Since this is the duck we're talking about and not you.." He said planting hands on his sides. He paused and stood in the doorway.'

"People like what did that to..the duck are just like people all over. It's amazing you think I'm weird for hating others having seen cruelty like that.. I dunno whether to commend you or call you an idiot.." He said before walking down the hallway to his room.

~~~~~

He walked back a moment later tossing her a blanket and a pillow. "Despite being a girl and boy in the same house we're not going to indulge in any of that ecchi boy's anime comedy situations. You're going to sleep on this couch and i am going to sleep on my luxurious bed."
