He gave his everything to escape and even after snapping the "Grabbers" neck and killing him it still didn't bring his friend back.
His only friend Robin Arellano, the only one who cared about him besides his sister, who protected him and let him stay over at his house when the world got to loud.
He missed him so much
So much so he gave into the the call screaming release.
He hears it when he walks out the front door barefoot with the gun in hand, he walks slowly to the edge of town and sees nothing but Forest and it calls to him
Calls for him to enter it
For release
And he does
He wanders for awhile before coming across a lake and decides this is it.
He slowly puts his hand over the trigger and-
His eyes shoot open as he feels a stab of pain shoot his head and he jolts up from his.... Bed? He looks around and sees his room but it's more... Clean? He grabs his phone and sees the date.

In which Iruma gets injured for the first time in the demon realm.
This fic contains ✨tickling✨ so if that might bother you, then I suggest you keep scrolling!
A/N: I’m really happy with how this turned out!! I wanted to write some good old angst/comfort. I also felt like challenging myself to write what would happen if Azz was angry/frustrated with Iruma. I feel like it's a side of him we haven’t seen yet. Also, Iruma is generally a cheerful guy, but I feel like the inside of his brain must be a mess sometimes. He had a really hard life and still probably struggles with believing he deserves love (show him otherwise, everyone!). I feel like he would be quite reluctant to ask for/accept help since he’s so used to taking care of himself.
Also, LOL. This started because I wanted to write a princess carry scene. It wasn’t even meant to have any tickling. Then it became this. I’m not upset at all, just amused.
CW: Some cursing
Well, shit. Now he’d really done it. Iruma looked down at his ankle, already beginning to swell slightly, and sighed. It’d been a minute since he’d felt so human here. He stopped to think for a moment; he knew enough about the demon realm by now to know that weakness wasn’t something to go flaunting around. But then, he was used to taking care of himself from his time back on earth. There was no need to bother anyone; getting home by himself would be no issue. That left what to do after... Should he ask Opera or his Grandpa for help once he got back? It was only a sprained ankle, so he didn’t want to overthink things. After all, how many injuries had he patched up over the years back in the human world? He took another deep breath as he realized there was no point in making a deal out of such a minor injury. First he’d get home, then find some wraps, and take care of it. He’d be careful on his way to and from school and this would be over within a few days. Problem solved. Thank devils Clara and Azz hadn’t been here to witness his blunder... He had a feeling they might have overreacted some. Feeling satisfied that he’d worked through everything, he picked himself back up and began hobbling home.

Everything was fine. Everything was just fine. All he had to do was focus on the next step. Then another. That’s all there was to it. Or at least, that’s what Iruma was telling himself so he didn’t lose the will to walk and just sit down. For the past few days, he’d tried icing it, elevating it, and wrapping it. The whole nine yards. It had helped a little, but devils did the thing hurt. It hurt so bad. It didn’t seem to get any better either, only worse. It looked more swollen than before and he couldn’t put most of his weight on it. But he was stubborn and a little scared. He’d gotten through worse and now wasn’t the time to fold. Not to mention that the idea of missing school and not seeing his friends sounded so much worse.
He was currently walking to his next class with Azz. His attention was torn between staying focused on their conservation and focusing on his footing. It was just his luck that a rock would appear the moment he took to look up at Azz’s face. Before he knew it, he had stumbled and found himself falling forward.
Damn, was I always this clumsy?
He braced himself for pain, hoping it wouldn’t make his injury worse than it already was. This is fine. I’m fine. Everything is fine.
“Iruma-sama!”
He didn’t hit the ground. He blinked, trying to process what had happened. He felt Azz’s arm was wrapped protectively around him, steadying him.
“T-thanks Azz-kun! Whoops, haha, silly me. Have to watch where I step...”
“Iruma-sama, are you alright? Are you tired? I could carry some things for you?”
Iruma took one look at Asmodeus’ worried face and gulped. I don’t want to make anyone worry about me. It’s fine. I’m fine.
“Nothing to worry about! Especially thanks to your reflexes,” he added.
“You may be able to fool others, but you cannot fool me, Iruma-sama.” Azz said seriously. “What is going on?” He still hadn’t let go.
“I-I don’t know what you’re talking about Azz-kun! Come on, let’s get going to class”, he said with what he hoped was a convincing smile.
He gently shrugged out of the demon’s grasp and took a tentative step forward. Then another and another. Asmodeus followed after a moment. As Iruma gained confidence, he began to walk faster, determined to prove to Azz that he was fine. Unfortunately, pure determination was not going to heal his ankle that fast. Within a minute, he managed to tweak his sprained ankle again.
“Guh!” he said, crumpling to the ground.
Iruma closed his eyes. This was so embarrassing... He didn’t want to see Azz’s reaction. While deep down he knew it would be fine, he was still scared. What if Azz laughed at him? Or called him weak?? His heart twisted painfully at the idea. Plus he’d just told the demon he was fine. I am fine. I’m...fine. He repeated the mantra to himself, as if that would make it come true. Iruma was so caught up in his ruminations, that he didn’t hear Azz approach. He only noticed when he felt a soft hand above his ankle; the injured one. He frantically tried to pull away, but Azz’s grip was as firm as it was gentle. He heard an audible gasp, which he knew there could only be one cause for. Shit. Even though he had it bandaged, Azz would still be able to see that it was purple and definitely swollen. Iruma reluctantly looked up into Azz’s worried eyes and immediately felt so, so guilty.
“Iruma-sama, why didn’t you tell me??”
He was having trouble looking into those eyes.
“I-it's not that big of a deal... just a sprained ankle...”
“What do you mean, not a big deal?? A paper-cut is not a big deal, Iruma-sama. A stubbed toe is not a big deal. Hells, a scratch wouldn’t be that big of a deal. A sprained ankle is. a. big. deal. This is a big deal! Look at how swollen it is!! And purple! When did you even injure it? Has it gotten better at all?!” Asmodeus’ voice steadily raised in volume.
“Just a couple days ago... I’ve been elevating and icing it after school. I didn’t want to miss class.. I wanted to see everyone... I didn’t want to appear weak...” his voice got quieter and quieter.
“I see you have neglected to answer the more important question. Has. it. gotten. better. or. worse.”
Iruma was silent.
“For devil’s sake, you shouldn’t even be walking on this; it will take even longer to heal!! What in the hells has gotten into you?”
Iruma screwed his eyes shut and tried his best to curl up into a ball. Not only had he failed to keep his injury hidden, but now Asmodeus was angry with him. He couldn’t even remember the last time that had happened..
He heard a sigh and suddenly Asmodeus spoke,
“Look, I do not want to be angry at you. I am.. not angry. But, I am frustrated, and a little hurt. Iruma-sama, how would you feel if you were in my place?”
Iruma’s heart throbbed painfully.
“I would.. be worried about you, of course.”
“Then please, you have to take better care of yourself. Do not treat yourself any differently than you would if I or Valec got injured. And it would not kill you to let us help you either.”
“But I can take care of myself just fine, Azz-kun!” he pleaded. “Look, it’s wrapped and I’ve been trying my best. I’ve gotten through much worse!”
Azz’s eyes widened at this. The frustration seemed to melt out of him, replaced with intense concern.
“What do you mean...?”
Iruma looked away as he said,
“I’m not used to receiving help from anyone! I don’t want to be a burden!”
“But, your grandfather..? And Opera-san..? Are you saying they don’t....? That they wouldn’t help..?”
“N-no! Of course not!” Iruma hurriedly said. “I... haven’t always lived with them, though.”
Asmodeus waited to see if Iruma would elaborate, but after several moments in silence decided that today was not the day he would hear about it. He pulled Iruma into a hug, careful not to disturb the injured ankle.
“Fine. I will not pry further today. Just.. understand that we care about you. We are here to help you.” He murmured into Iruma’s hair.
Asmodeus noticed the way Iruma’s shoulders relaxed at this, and it made him feel a bit more like he’d gotten through to his friend.
“All right, we need to get you to the school nurse.”
The shoulder tension was back immediately.
“Are you sure...? I thought it would make me seem weak?”
“Hells no, there’s a difference between sustaining an injury and just being weak. I do not know how you could even question something so obviously wrong. You? Weak? With your rank? It is absolutely absurd to even consider it. Now, let’s get going.”
Asmodeus gathered their things. Iruma moved to try to stand.
“What in the hells do you think you are you doing?”
Iruma tried to recall if he had ever heard Azz curse this much before.
“Um, trying to stand up?”
“On that ankle? I should think not,” Asmodeus scoffed. He returned with their bags on his back. With a quick motion, he swept his arms underneath Iruma’s knees and around his shoulders.
“Wah!?” Iruma spluttered. “A-Azz-kun?? W-what are you doing??”
“What does it look like, Iruma-sama? I am carrying you to the nurse’s office of course.”
“I-I must be heavy though! A-and you have the bags too?”
Asmodeus’ eyes flashed dangerously.
“Are you trying to imply that I am too weak?”
“N-no that isn't what I meant! I just don’t want to trouble you!”
“Trouble me? Please.”
“But… Azz-kun…,” Iruma stammered.
“Would you please stop squirming and just let me take care of you?!” Asmodeus huffed.
The magic word did its thing. Iruma was still very much embarrassed, and still wanted to protest but well... Asmodeus had said please. He never could say no to that.
“I-I suppose..”
“A simple thank you would suffice at a time like this, Iruma-sama. It is my greatest honor to support you in any way I can. Never doubt that.”
Iruma turned a few shades darker red and mumbled “thank you..”, but found himself still quietly fidgeting. It didn’t compare to the actual fight he’d been putting up a minute ago, but it was clearly irking Asmodeus. After a few more steps the demon said,
“If you want to squirm so badly Iruma-sama, shall I give you a reason to?”
Iruma looked up at Asmodeus’ deceivingly bright smile and shivered. His whole face screamed,
Danger!! Do not engage!!
But before Iruma could say anything at all, Azz slipped his fingers into Iruma’s armpit and began lightly scribbling. Seeing how Azz was also carrying him, and had a pretty tight grip, Iruma was totally stuck.
“You’re lucky that I need to get you to the nurse’s office, or I think I would tickle you silly so you would never consider doing this again. My goodness, what am I going to do with you, Iruma-sama?”
“Pffft! I-I’m ehehe!! I’m sohohorry! I won’t do it ahahagain, p-promise!!”
Asmodeus seemed to consider this for a moment, then flashed his fangs in another blinding smile.
“Actually, no. I have decided. I will tickle you silly after your ankle has properly healed. Please prepare yourself, Iruma-sama.”
Iruma gulped. He felt flustered and embarrassed, but also a little giddy at the thought.
“For now though, I’ll just distract you with tickles until we get to the nurse’s office. Maybe that’ll stop these ridiculous notions that you’re bothering me from coming out of your mouth.”
“Ahahahazz-kuhuhun! Nohohoho!”
“Oh, Iruma-sama. You got yourself into this mess, you will just have to take it. Tickle tickle, you’ve got nowhere to run.”
“Nahahaha! P-plehehease s-stohop!”
“The tickling or the teasing?” Asmodeus asked with a quirked eyebrow.
“Hmmm, no. That doesn’t sound like my problem. Maybe you should have thought about this before you kept your injury from me, tried to walk it off, and implied I was too weak to carry you and our bags”
“B-buhuhut! I-I cahahahan’t mohohohove! EEK! Wahaha, it tickles!! Ihihihit tihihihickles!!”
“Does it now? A fascinating revelation, Iruma-sama.”
Iruma’s laughter went silent for a moment. Azz continued,
“At this rate, you’ll be lucky if I don’t carry you around the rest of today. And the next few days. We shall see what the nurse says. And no matter what, you will be going home in your grandfather’s carriage today.”
Iruma laughed and giggled the whole way to the nurse’s office, all worries of being perceived as weak completely gone. He went home in the carriage, at Asmodeus’ suggestion, and apologized to his Grandfather and Opera-san for keeping the injury from them. He resolved to work on letting his friends and family help him in the future. It was easier said than done, but whenever his resolve wavered, Asmodeus was there to give him a gentle, giggly reminder.
