[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Paine: Okay, hello people! Welcome to my first DD fan fiction! I just got into Demon Diary a few weeks ago and I've been itching to write a fanfic about it. ^^
Disclaimer: I do not own Demon Diary in any shape or form; I only own the plot in which I subjected the characters to…T_T
Title: Butterfly
Warnings: Self-Mutilation, cross dressing, yaoi (boy/boy love), OOCness and OC/OC's
A warning about chapter one, it maybe a little dry because I'm introducing all the characters and whatnot…
Chapter One: The new kid
“I don't care what we do. I'll tag along anyway, you know I will.” Raenef stated, his voice deadpan.
Erutis and Chris exchanged worried looks to one another before the group went into a small silence; the only sound was that of cars and other pedestrians making their way through the crowded streets and sidewalks of downtown, San Diego.
Raenef ran a hand through his unkept straight blonde hair and yanked on one of his black highlights in irritation. “Why don't we just take a bus to Plaza Bonita and go to Tilt?” He suggested; he didn't feel like walking around very much. In fact, the only reason they were downtown was the fact that their school, High Tech High, was just outside of downtown; the three of them often meandered through the crowded place until they decided what they wanted to do.
None of them had curfews since they had managed to get all A's. However, the fact that Chris had been held back a year because he didn't take Inventions and Raenef had started kindergarten a year late, made Erutis the youngest and even though this meant special treatment from the guys, she sometimes did feel uncomfortable since most of the other girls thought she was too much of a tom boy they didn't accept her, that really didn't have anything to do with anything, but that would usually be the main reason she would be a little sad sometimes.
“That's a good idea, I just got paid from one of my customers, and I already sent her the stuff she ordered, so I'll pay for you guys if you decide you want anything.” Chris chirped as the three of them got to the bus stop.
“How much?” Erutis asked.
“Two thousand bucks, and a thousand is in my college account, so don't worry about it.” Chris said with a smile.
The bus arrived and Chris paid for the three of them and stepped aside for Raenef and Erutis to get on.
“Three thousand dollars.” Raenef muttered. “What on earth did she order?” His dead blue eyes turned to Chris and waited for an answer.
Chris stopped dead in his tracks and his face went from a creamy tan to a dead white in a matter of seconds. “A costume from every single battle mode of Yuna, Paine and Rikku from Final fuckin' Fantasy 10-2.”
Raenef decided to speak his mind when he saw Chris's pale face. “No wonder it took you six damn months to make all that.” His eyes flickered with weak amusement before he focused back outside, finding that less boring then Chris talking about his business.
However, he turned his attention back to Chris and Erutis when he heard the young girl ask the tall brunette a question. “Was all that hard to make Chris?”
“Naw, the only minus was I had to lock myself in my room so no one would disturb me while I worked,” Chris rubbed his temple. “It's seriously hard to find peace and quiet in our house, huh guys?” Erutis nodded vigorously and Raenef just grunted his agreement.
Chris sighed. He's been like this way too long! He thought to myself, looking out the window so he could think. I've got to snap him out of it! I thought moving in with me and Erutis would be enough for him to be his happy and cheerful self again, but I guess not. Maybe I'll call Rain about it.
Chris turned and stole a glace at Raenef who looked as dark and gloomy as ever. Yep, I'm calling Rain.
The rest of the day went by rather quickly. Erutis managed to get Raenef to play a few round of DDR Extreme in Tilt, which Raenef smoked the poor redhead. Then the gang went to Suncoast and they bought a bunch of their favorite anime DVDs, soundtracks, manga, Pocky and Lichi Gummies.
They'd just stepped out of Suncoast when Chris's cell phone rang. “Hello?” He answered. “Hey Krayon. Right now? Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't remember that. Oh, okay, bye.” Chris closed his flip phone and placed it back into his pocket.
“Shit.”
“What's the `shit' for?” Erutis asked. Chris shook his head. “We gotta get home. Rain and her brother are coming for dinner and I totally forgot.” Raenef, who was staring into space, snapped out of it when he heard that piece of information.
“She…has a brother?” He asked quietly, an eyebrow raised. He turned to see Chris nod.
“ Rae, no taking blades or anything she may offer you. I know you get all your stuff from her, and I'm not saying she's all that bad, but please…” Erutis began only to be cut off by the blonde teen.
“What I do in my spare time is absolutely none of your business Erutis.” He stated, his cold voice sending shivers up Erutis' spine.
Why is he like this? The green-eyed girl asked herself. She knew that Chris had let Raenef live with him for the same reasons she was allowed to live with him; her parents had died as well. But she wasn't like Raenef. When his parents died, it was as if Raenef wanted to stop living as well.
But before she could ponder any further, Chris's older brother picked up the three of them and they started heading home to get ready.
~@~@~
“What is taking Raenef so long?” Chris asked.
Erutis shrugged. “I don't know, but I hope he's not borrowing my black dress again. Chris, is your tie supposed to be like that?”
Chris raised an eyebrow and looked down. “Ah, damn it!” He moaned, for the silver piece of shit was once again undone and sitting on his black silk dress shirt. He paused when he pulled the damn piece of material off his neck.
“Wait. Not the one I made for you for Halloween. Right?” He asked.
Erutis sighed. “Yeah, that one. He keeps borrowing it so much lately I think I should just give it to him!” She exclaimed as she finished fixing up her best friend's tie.
“There, try not to mess with it.” Erutis looked back to Chris and saw him starring at something above the both of them in awe.
This made Erutis frown. “Chris, what are you starring at?” She followed his gaze and her eyes widened.
Raenef was walking down the stairs in Erutis' dress. The dress itself was black, long sleeved and came down to Raenef's ankles. The cuffs and hem of the dress was decorated with white ruffles. He had a black choker around his neck with a silver cross as the pendant and his ear piercing was a cross with a chain hanging from it. His face wasn't untouched either. Instead of only having white face powder and eyeliner (which he wore to school), he added black lipstick and eye shadow to the mix, the eye shadow was made to be dark at his eye and it slowly got lighter until it turned into silver then white at his clearly visible eyebrows. He'd also added a line down his right eye with liquid eyeliner, which he made look like a falling tear.
“Geez Raenef.” Chris had managed to get out of his little shock. “You make a better girl than Erutis does.”
This earned him a death glare from the redhead. “Shut up you asshole!” She squealed and landed a smack on Chris' right cheek.
“Really Erutis, was that necessary?” Raenef asked. Erutis turned to stare into Raenef's empty blue orbs before letting out a heavy sigh. “No,” She mumbled and turned to Chris. “Sorry man.” She muttered quietly but sincerely.
Chris nodded his acceptance and turned his attention to Raenef. “What are you doing in Erutis' dress?” He asked.
This earned a small glare from the blonde. “She never wears it and I take a liking to it. Other then that, it's really none of your business. And anyway, Rain cross dresses as much as I do and it doesn't bother you.”
Erutis glanced suspiciously at Chris. “He's got a point,” she stated. “Anyway Rae, I think you look great!” She flashed a warm smile and earned a bow in return.
“Thank you Erutis.” He said quietly.
“Hey, Rae looks pretty snazzy!” The three turned to find Krayon leaning against the dinging room doorframe. He ran a hand through his long, thick blonde hair and got up from his resting spot.
“They'll be here any minute, you guys ready?” The others all nodded in time for the doorbell. Krayon raised an eyebrow and went to the front door.
“Hey guys!” He said cheerfully and beckoned the two people outside.
“Hey, Krayon!” A cheerful female voice chirped. The tall blonde male stepped aside to allow Rain and her older brother in. The said teen gave Krayon a big hug before entering the front room to greet Erutis, Chris and Raenef.
“Hey guys.” She said, bowing to emphasize her politeness. Raenef bowed his own head in response and took a moment to take in the girl's appearance. Her attire consisted of a white men's peasant shirt, black leather pants and a long black overcoat. Her face was decorated with make-up similar to Raenef's minus the tearstain.
“Rae, I love your dress!” Rain exclaimed, taking in the other teens beauty. She winked at him before turning around. “This is-” She began, only to find no one standing behind her. She growled in frustration and went back to the front door.
“Eclipse, get your ass in here!” She yelled. A few seconds later, another teen, whom looked like a teenager walked into the front room. Raenef felt his breath catch at the sight of the stranger. He was at least as tall as Krayon, who was six feet tall, and had gorgeous long raven black hair that was currently pulled back into a low ponytail.
“I still do not understand why you brought me here.” The one named Eclipse mumbled. Rain glared at her older brother with crimson eyes.
“I brought you here with me tonight to introduce you to your new classmates. I did manage to get you into our class.” The raven-haired god (in Raenef's opinion) narrowed his eyes at Rain, however, only briefly as he turned around and introduced himself.
“My name is Eclipse if you haven't caught that already.” He bowed slightly for the sake of being polite.
Erutis smiled. “I'm Erutis.” She stuck out her hand in a polite gesture. Eclipse took her hand in a handshake and pulled back.
“I'm Chris.” Chris smirked. He crossed his arms across his chest as if it would make him seem manlier. This earned a sweat drop from the seemingly older teen. Eclipse fought not to roll his eyes and kept an emotionless mask on his face. He turned to the last younger teen and his breath caught.
“And whom might you be?” He asked, breathlessly. His eyes widened ever so slightly by the boy's beauty before him. Everything about the smaller blonde was attracting! From the simple black dress he wore down to his well done make up. The other's crystal blue orbs were what attracted Eclipse the most. Empty as they were, beauty still radiated from them.
Raenef felt butterflies in his stomach and he squirmed slightly under Eclipse's gaze. He, like Eclipse, had to fight to keep his face emotionless. He also found it hard to stare the other in the eyes. His were the most intense shade of black (a/n: Those are his eye color, right?? O.o) and felt like they were burning right through him.
“My name is Raenef.” The words slipped off the boy's tongue like velvet to Eclipse. It made him want to just take the boy and ravish him on the spot. When the being known as Raenef held his hand out for a handshake, Eclipse merely raised an eyebrow at the younger boy. He grasped the offered hand and brought it to his lips, his lips lightly grazing the other's skin, it felt like electricity was flowing though his lips from Rae's skin.
Raenef fought from gasping, the sensations running from Eclipse's lips were so memorizing! “Thank you.” He whispered in response to Eclipse's compliment. He let out a small smile and something behind Eclipse caught his eye. He ripped his gaze from Eclipse's eyes and looked behind him. Rain was standing a few feet behind her brother, holding up a piece of paper that had, `Go Rae, my bro's gay too!' written on it with black sharpie.
Eclipse noticed Raenef's gaze was no longer on him and curiosity got the better of him. He turned around and saw the sign his sister was holding up. “Rain!” He shouted, his sister jumped and hid the sign. This didn't stifle Eclipse's anger.
“Rain! Do not go advertising my sexual preferences to people!” He growled. This earned a stuck out tongue from the younger girl.
“You need a boyfriend! You're so uptight you get on my case all the time! I'm just trying to help you out, you stick in the mud!” Rain accused.
Eclipse rolled his eyes. “I don't get on your case at all, Rain.”
The said girl's brown eyes widened. “Don't get on my case? Ha!” She expressed, her voice a decimal high than usual. Then she lowered her voice, trying to mimic her older brother. “Rain, have you finished your project? Rain, you're not going out with her, she's not your type. Rain, your not going anywhere without me. Rain, Rain, Rain!” The brunette ran a hand through her short hair.
“I mean, another reason I brought you was to introduce you to Rae,” Rain waltzed right up to Raenef. “You gotta admit, he is sexy.” She winked at Rae who was starring at her with a blank look on his face. “If you weren't gay, Rae, I'd be all over you.”
As uneasy as he was in this situation, Raenef let out a small chuckle. “Thank you, Rain. That's very flattering.” A charming smile came to the girl's lips. “Your very welcome, Rae! Now…” She trailed off, holding her stomach. “What's there to eat here, I haven't eaten all day!”
During this whole conversation, Erutis and Chris were both off to the side, now laughing their heads off. This earned glares from the other people in the room. “Knock it off guys!” Krayon muttered under his breath, smacking the two on the back of the head.
Erutis looked to the ground as if embarrassed. “Sorry.” Rain titled her head to the side in confusion. “What, not used to seeing two gays and two bi's?” She asked, speaking of herself, Raenef, Eclipse, and Krayon.
This caused giggles to emerge from Krayon. “I don't think she's had much…” He trailed off and gave Rain a wink. “You know. `Interaction' like that.”
Rain smirked and had that familiar twinkle in her eye that usually meant she was plotting in her mischievous ways. “Oh yeah, I forgot. Sorry Erutis.” Both Erutis and Chris were more than a little uneasy with their friend's reaction.
“Well, dinner's ready.” Krayon said wit ha yawn as if dinner didn't even matter at all.
This didn't go to deaf ears, for at those words Rain lit up like a birthday candle. “Really?!” She shouted with excitement. “Food! I'm hungry!” She ran past the door that Krayon had opened for the guests and settled down at the table. Following her suite, Erutis, Chris, and Krayon followed. Raenef started for the door when Eclipse reached out and grabbed his wrist.
Eclipse didn't know why he'd reached out for the blonde's wrist. Maybe it was his desire for contact for the other's beautiful creamy skin. Maybe he wanted more of that electricity that surged though his body at the slightest brush of skin against skin. Without knowing what he was doing, Eclipse moved close to Raenef's ear.
Raenef stiffened at Eclipse's closeness. His eyes drifted close and his breathing became rigid at the affect the other's body had on his. He shivered as he felt Eclipse's breath on his neck.
“My sister is right about one thing.” Eclipse whispered into Raenef's ear. “You are sexy.” He then walked past Raenef to the dining room and turned his head as he went to catch a glimpse of Raenef blushing madly.
~@~@~@~@~
“Raenef! Rain! Wake up, the both of you!” Erutis shouted past the door. She groaned when there was no reply. I knew Rain and Eclipse shouldn't have spent the night last light! “Hey, lazy asses! Wake the fuck up!” She yelled, banging on the door. All of a sudden, the door burst open, knocking Erutis down in the process. “Hey, Eru! Sorry, me and Rae were still getting ready when you knocked on the door!”
Erutis winced as she got up from her position on the ground. “It's ok.” She groaned.
Rain looked around the top floor of the house in search of her brother. “Hey, where's old yeller?”
The nickname earned her strange looks from both Raenef and Erutis. Rain laughed nervously and had a sheepish grin on her face. “Yeah…that's one of my nicknames for Eclipse.”
“Right.” Raenef nodded. “Well, I'm hungry. Are you guys coming?” Rain asked. She smiled and hopped over to the stairs and rode the banister down instead of actually walking down the stairs.
“Hey, Rain!” Erutis squealed, running after the brunette. “Don't slide down the banisters, it's dangerous!”
Raenef sighed and began to make his own way to the stairs when a voice stopped him.
“Yes, that's my little sister, always doing something stupid.” Raenef spun around to see Eclipse leaning against the bathroom doorframe. He pushed himself from the frame and glided down the stairs in search of his sister.
Raenef sighed and turned to Chris' room. He knocked gently on the door before laying a hand on the brass doorknob and turning it. “Chris?” He whispered. “You gotta get up, we need to go to school.”
Raenef heard a groan of protest and peeked his head into the sleeping being's room. “I'm coming!” Chris shouted, throwing a pillow at Raenef.
Raenef blinked and sighed, as if this occurrence happened everyday. “Okay, hurry up then…” He trailed off, and with that said Raenef turned around and closed the door behind him.
“Might as well go get some breakfast.” The blonde mumbled to himself. He rubbed his eyes sleepily and dawdled slowly down the stairs, even though he was dressed and all ready for school, he was still as tired as a log.
“Hey guys, we're leaving ten minutes early!” Eclipse snapped out of his little daydream as he stared at his cereal bowl and turned to Krayon.
“We're leaving early?” He asked. “Why?”
Krayon flashed Eclipse one of his smiles. “Well, yeah! You're new at HTH, so you have to meet with the Dean of Students to get your schedule!”
Eclipse nodded at Krayon's statement. How in the hell could the man be this peppy and cheery this early in the god-damned morning? “Right...Schedule…” Eclipse groaned to himself.
“Come on bro! Look more not dead man!” The beating pain in Eclipse's brain grew into the pounding of a migraine as he heard his sister's loud voice in his ear.
“Damn it Rain! Not so early in the morning!” He shouted. He growled and shoved the last bit of cereal in his mouth before taking his dish to the sink and washing it.
Rain sat on the kitchen table watching her big brother, a question burning on her lips. She bit her lip and heard Eclipse let out a large sigh.
“What is it?” He asked. He turned his head to her and she felt uneasy under his intense gaze. She knew he never meant to do that, be he'd told her before that it was a natural thing for him to do.
“Well, I did have a question for you…” Rain trailed off, her eyes settling on a nice spot located on the floor.
Eclipse rinsed the bowl and set it in the disk rack.
“What is it?” He asked. He didn't like when his sister was nervous. The last time she was like this, well, he didn't even want to go there. Her little habit of biting her lower lip when she was nervous didn't ease Eclipse's nerves.
“Well, I was wondering what you think of Raenef…” Rain trailed off. She knew that with what she and her brother were, they couldn't have human lovers, but she couldn't help but think her brother needed someone that cared about him other than her.
Eclipse sighed and bent down to retrieve his backpack and slung it over his shoulder. “We've gone over this. We can have human friends, but to take a human as a lover? You know father would kill us, not to mention all the other lords. That kind of act is simply preposterous!”
Rain sighed. “But brother, you need someone in your life.”
Eclipse shook his head. “No, I have you and that's all I need.” He smirked at his little sister and ruffled her hair. Rain giggled and retrieved her backpack as well.
“Fine.” She sighed. “But that doesn't mean I won't keep trying.” Giggled came from her throat once more and she raced after Krayon.
Eclipse shook his head at his sister's actions and went to slip on his boots. “Good morning.” The voice didn't startle Eclipse, merely took him by mild surprise. He looked up to see Raenef all dressed and ready to go to school.
“Good morning.” He replied. He put on his boots in silence as Raenef sat beside him to place on his own boots.
“You're not going to eat?” Eclipse asked. The delicate blonde beside him shook his head.
“I always eat breakfast at school.” He replied. The taller one nodded and stood. He brushed off his black collared shirt before offering a hand to the one still sitting.
“Need a hand?” He asked, trying to be polite. Raenef nodded and reached for the offered hand. Neither he nor Eclipse expected to feel the sensations. To Raenef, having Eclipse's warm hand wrapped around his own cold one felt so wonderful. The warmth emanating from the raven haired being was creating a warm pool of strange sensations in the blonde's gut.
To Eclipse, this felt strange. So many times he'd shaken hands with a wide range of people, demon lords, demons that had taken a fancy to him, but none of them had ever felt like this. It felt like electricity was flowing through him and Raenef's hand was creating tingling sensations on his.
“I think we should go now…” Raenef whispered to break the silence. Eclipse nodded and their hands let go of each other. Raenef immediately missed that warmth and wanted it back, but he knew better.
“You're right. Let's go.” Raenef snapped out of his small daydream and followed Eclipse to the car.
