While the fanfic didn't go into a lot of the specifics about Iruma as an angel as IruKiri was the main focus of the fic, I put an idea in my mouth and suddenly I'm vomiting up some idea about lore.

Iruma had an angelic ancestor and the blood was watered down through the generations until it reared its head in Iruma. Iruma kept his wings hidden because he didn't want to have them taken away, believing that he was a freak.

He keeps it hidden in the Sullivan household too. ... Until he sneezes hard enough that his wings just pop out of his back to fluff up (he never learned how to control his wings). Opera gets the fright of their life and Sullivan is making Windows error noises when he realizes that two humans had an angelic child. Sullivan is still raising Iruma though.

The Guardian of Cutthroat Valley and their chick are the first two to clock Iruma for what he really is. They would never harm him though. The Guardian considers Iruma a hatchling angel (and therefore harmless and in need of protection) and their chick thinks highly of Iruma since he healed them.

Iruma continues to keep this secret to himself until he meets Balam. While he does manage to fool Buzzer initially by saying he's a human (which is technically true since he has human parents and therefore should be human), he is found out later.

How? Iruma was in an empty room and weaving a protective spell around Babyls with holy magic, and he had just finished up when Balam came in after looking for Iruma. Iruma practically shrieked and jumped like a cat, but it was too late. Balam had seen the white wings and halo and had passed out. Iruma was now crying as he tried to wake up his teacher.

Afterwards, Balam questions Iruma, asking a lot of questions (and helping Iruma preen his wings because the boy clearly hadn't preened his wings at all). Iruma answers every question as truthfully as possible, never once setting off Buzzer. Iruma then starts crying, begging his teacher not to tell anyone about it. Being human was bad enough, and he didn't want to figure out what anyone would do to an angel. Balam agrees because he's weak to the little hatchling's tears and because he's protective over Iruma.

(And later, when the protective spells put little markers of holy magic over Shiida and Atori while they work at Babyls, it's enough to have Balam watching them like a hawk and that in turn leads to the rest of the teachers noticing the markers and also watching the two. Atori is found out during the exam while Shiida's marker flickers occasionally. The rest of the teachers realize that the markers indicate threats. Balam in particular is realizing why Iruma expended energy to put wards on the school.)

A lot of time later, during the incident at Levialon, Balam has an idea to have Iruma place protective wards on that school too. He calls Opera about it, and they get the chair demon over so he can also confirm it. After a lot of planning, they get a plan in place.

Once the incident is resolved, Balam goes to Lady Levi and talks about laying protective wards on the school that will indicate potential dangers. Lady Levi agrees to this plan and Balam goes to Babyls and grabs Iruma. Before Balam is allowed to take him there, Opera makes it clear that no one is allowed to know about Iruma being an angel and that if Balam doesn't keep an eye on Iruma while Iruma isn't setting up the wards, they will thoroughly discipline him (Balam shudders and agrees).

So, Balam brings Iruma to Levialon. Lady Levi and Leiji are surprised that Iruma will be laying the protective spells, but Balam makes sure to tell them about the spells he laid to protect Babyls. Iruma is flustered by the praise and asks to be shown to an empty room since he will need a silent space to focus on weaving his magic throughout the academy. So he is led to an empty room and is left to his silence.

While Balam and Lady Levi are speaking, Leiji gets extremely curious about the wards since he's never felt the power that Iruma radiates from behind the door. So, when Iruma starts wrapping up, Leiji takes a quick peek... and proceeds to get blinded by angelic radiance. Leiji closes the door quietly and then knocks after a moment, asking Iruma if he is done. Iruma confirms that he is and Balam also confirms with Buzzer that Iruma is indeed done. Iruma steps out looking normal, but Leiji can't forget the sight that is now burned in his mind.

Before Iruma leaves with Balam, Leiji follows them out and thanks Iruma for his assistance, proceeding to take Iruma's hand and kissing the back of it (Lady Levi is crying tears of joy thinking that her grandson is practicing manners). To Leiji, it is respecting the beautiful angel that cared enough about the school to protect it with his magic and also something he just wanted to do. To Iruma, it is an unprompted gesture that is making him short circuit. (In the background, Balam is radiating murderous intent. Stay AWAY from his hatchling, Leviathan—)

After a while, Iruma then goes to Jackapo to lay protective wards there too. This time, Kalego joins him and Balam (Balam ranted about what Leiji did and Kalego will never admit he felt murderous). Lord Belial is happy to greet Iruma and Razberry is there too because he wanted to see Iruma again. Iruma is happy to say hello to Razberry and the two immediately get to talking at a mile a minute.

After some idle chatter, Iruma is led to an isolated room and he goes in to get to work. Razberry isn't subtle about his curiosity at all though, constantly trying to get in when he gets curious which leads to him getting tied up by Balam's vines as Balam scolds him. Razberry is far too happy because it's amusing, and Balam sets him down after a while.

When things start winding down and the adults are busy talking, Razberry sneaks a peek inside the room... and gets blinded by angelic radiance. Razberry stares for longer than necessary before he closes the door. Then he decides to kick it open once he senses everything is done, only giving the warning of "I'm coming in!" before busting the door open, making Iruma hide his angelic features quickly. Balam is quick to restrain Razberry and drag him out of the room. Iruma emerges looking normal, and watches Razberry laugh as Balam and Kalego both scold him.

When Balam, Kalego, and Iruma go to leave, Razberry comes running up and hugs Iruma while Balam and Kalego watch suspiciously. Lord Belial is a little invested. Balam and Kalego are right to be suspicious though, because once Razberry finishes thanking Iruma, they watch as Razberry kisses Iruma! On the cheek! Both of them are feeling murderous while Iruma is short circuiting. Lord Belial just gasps like he's witnessing a new pairing come into being (y'all know the gasp). Razberry only chuckles before waving goodbye with a cheeky smile. Iruma manages to wave back and then proceeds to collapse once he's back home.

Leiji and Razberry are teaming up together to court the pretty angel that is Iruma, finding all the knowledge on angelic courting that they can. Sure, they may be rivals for the throne, but they also want to court Iruma (who is supposed to also be their rival). If they play their cards just right, they'll have their angel and no one will be stopping them.

So, on one of their outings (w/ detection warding glasses, of course), Leiji and Razberry decide to put their courting to the test. Leiji is the one who keeps others away, shielding Iruma from others and snapping if they show too much interest (protection is a part of angelic courting, and only really works if the angel is okay with being the delicate one on occasion and trusts the one courting them). When they sit down to eat, Razberry orders a lot and ends up hand feeding Iruma (providing is a big thing in angelic courtship, showing that you will put their needs before your own). Iruma is incredibly flustered, but he lets it happen.

One thing they both do together is physical contact. Leiji has his arm mostly wrapped around Iruma's waist for the outing and is rubbing small circles while Razberry is either clinging to Iruma's arm to get his attention or has his arms around Iruma's neck. Everyone around them is seeing an overly affectionate triad. Iruma doesn't garner why they are so affectionate, but it makes him feel warm so obviously they shouldn't stop.

Leiji and Razberry also try out nicknames just to see how their pretty angel reacts to them. Leiji uses "treasure" and "my pearl" often, which flusters Iruma enough to make Leiji think it's cute. Razberry decides to throw subtlety with the force equivalent to a bullet out the window and immediately goes for nicknames like "little dove" or "angel" which nearly gives Iruma a heart attack as he tries to find out whether Razberry is teasing or if he knows (Razberry gets scolded by Leiji later).

Razberry and Leiji do invite him on more outings, courting him not in their way (because it is far fetched to assume an angel knows about demonic courting) but in what they believe to be his way. Iruma is having a crisis where he realizes he is definitely not straight (he probably knew and just wasn't ready to accept it) and that his instincts as an angel are reacting favorably to two demons. So miniature crisis.

The two demons have also been getting quite bolder, marking him with their scent (Opera definitely had a field day the first time Iruma came home smelling like two possessive demons), and getting more touchy. Razberry is still clingy, but he also starts adding kisses to the mix, peppering Iruma's face with them just to make him shy because Razberry thinks it's cute. Leiji still does the arm around the waist and the circles with the finger, but now he's also nosing at Iruma's neck to take in the scent of an angel and leaving small nips. Iruma always short circuits.

Iruma does end up shyly confessing after one of those outings and sharing the secret of him being an angel. Razberry and Leiji accept because they had been courting him specifically because they wanted him and assure him that it must have been a hard secret to keep (they knew). They keep their relationship on the down low though. Mostly because they still have their roles to play.

The rest of the Misfits don't know what's happening with Iruma, but they definitely get suspicious when they see him smiling at his phone and then he hides the screen from all of them. They're all planning to find the person and give them the most intense shovel talk in demonic history. They make intensive plans and Ameri walks in on them while that's happening. After learning about Iruma's new behavior, she gets in on it once they suggest that Iruma got a girlfriend (not right, not wrong). So now they have to find out who Iruma is seeing.

Iruma, Leiji, and Razberry also end up getting engaged because Iruma had a bad feeling after nearly getting sent to the human world and only managing to get out through changing his look. Since the two have been reading up on angelic customs, Razberry happily suggests an engagement seal. Angelic seals of engagement not only mark a person as taken, but because they are connected by magic, it means that when the bond is still fresh (it remains fresh for a good decade), the partners must stay in the same realm and any attempts to separate realms ultimately end in failure.

Not to mention that engagement seals can be hidden and only show up when the marked partner wants them to. So no one would know. Leiji agrees with Razberry (one of the times they will agree) on the points and both of them look at Iruma. Iruma takes a while to consider it before he agrees to it and places the engagement seals on Razberry and Leiji (on the left hand for them both as it is most proper).

That means that when DBC tries to shove Iruma into the human realm, he just flies right out. They try again and again until they're all trying to keep calm. Opera is definitely confused, but they aren't complaining about how difficult Iruma is making things. Iruma tries to go, but he shows that even that doesn't work when some invisible force sends him flying away from the human realm. DBC is trying to pull their hair out because they don't understand what's happening. Meanwhile, Opera has realized what is happening and is trying not to break their restraints to go hunting because who the FUCK got engaged to their kit?!

Iruma is watching the chaos happen and decides to fuck all the way off, making his grand escape. Which is helped by Opera throwing hands because why you fucks so incompetent? So now they not only have to worry about Iruma, who has already escaped, but they also have to worry about Opera who is attempting to bash all their heads in.

Iruma just goes to Jackapo and hides from the chaos. Razberry is more than happy to see his angel, and most of the other students there just watch with complete shock as the significant annoyance that is Razberry actually chills out while cuddling with Iruma. They know to steer clear though. Except for the ones who think that Iruma is up for grabs and proceed to get their asses handed to them by a possessive, pissed off Razberry.

Iruma then goes to Levialon to cling to Leiji and while most of the students there are confused (Urara is definitely confused), the confusion is lifted when they realize their supreme commander will NOT let Iruma out of his sight for a second. In fact, anyone tries to take him out of Leiji's sight for a chat. Suddenly Leiji is there like an omnipotent presence and gives no warning before beating them up. He then proceeds to spend the rest of the day biting Iruma because clearly the people who work with him don't know that Iruma is taken. Needless to say, all confusions were cleared up.

Lady Levi and Lord Belial definitely have a field day realizing that their grandsons are possessive over Sullivan's grandson and are internally weighing the pros and cons. Leiji, Razberry, and Iruma will reveal their engagement when they want. Many people will lose bets. Many people will also give Leiji and Razberry an intensive shovel talk.

Just the chaos.
