The daemon wasn’t thinking. He might say his true job was a cop but the reality was he was the executioner. Asher sneered down at the poor man who made the deal with him. 

The man was bloodied on the ground, begging for his life. The pathetic pleads of being a better person that Asher knew would never come through. He was read to pick up his mace, make sure to put this man out of his misery. When he saw her. 

Rani. 

The memories of her face, her laugh, her lips were etched into his memory. Just everything flowing to approached her. But he remembered his form, how his eyes were blackened and his hair was all over the place. He closed his eyes, one black tear streaming down his face. The daemon sighed to himself. No, he had to be strong. He had to be truthful, even though his first words were. 

“This wasn’t what it looks like.” 

It was a simple task. Just knock on her damn door. It has been so long since he saw her- Rani. Asher closed his eyes remembering the last interaction. A killer thats what he was to her. Asher gritted his teeth. 

 Well he was the Ruler Circle of Hell now. And he didn’t have to kill anyone-well not directly. So why not have a queen. He knocked on the door holding out the flowers.

“Special Delivery for Rani Hua.” 

Asher was furious. To say the least. Maybe he was actually heartbroken. A healthy person would have gone to see someone or talk their feelings out.But Asher wasn’t a healthy person-he was a deamon. And a demon that wanted revenge. 

Asher remembered the name that left his angel’s lips- Bambi. Asher knew who Bamb was- to him Bambi was a plaything, someone to taunt. Someone that reminded him too much of his old self. Defenseless and always trying to do the right thing- only get pushed down. He hated how he can be so damn happy all the time. Asher didn’t want to face that small human part of him.

That’s why he was wearing Kihwan’s uniform. He was borrowing it- it looked different enough that Bamb wouldn’t recognize at first glance. His hair covering his eyes. as he pulled off his disguise. The tree sap actng as blood, and scattered notebook paper. That obsolete fool will come running. Finally he cleared his throat. The plan was about to begin. 

“Help!” Asher cried in fake voice “I can’t get up.” 

Asher was holding her close. “Rani....Rani please.” The daemon whispered. He let the tears stream down his face. “I would do anything for you to stay.”

He pulled her into a desperate kiss. Maybe he was foolish but he wanted to show her his compassion or whatever was left of it. The rain started to fall harder, drenching them both. 

“I’m sorry Asher,” Rani whispered pulling away slowly. Asher pulled away but not before kissing her forehead. 

“I’ll be back my love.” He sighed. “Even if it’s the last thing I do.” 

Asher looked at Basil shuffling his hands in his pockets. The daemon hadnt intended to kill someone it just happened. Asher finally spoke. “I’m sorry you had to see that.” Asher said brushing back Basil’s hair. “You know I wouldn’t intentionally hurt anyone.” They arrived to the doorsteps of the house. The daemon looked at the other. “Next date I wont hurt anyone I promise.” He pulled the other into a kiss. 

The kiss was slow but passionate. Tender but rough. He might be a daemon but he was also a prince charming. He kissed the other’s forehead. There was a smirk. 

“Until we meet again, Basil.” 

🏹 - have they ever committed a murder?

“I have committed many murders.” He replied with a hum. “I might commit two murders if those two hooligans aren’t careful.” 

Asher wasn’t perfect. He wasn’t going to pretend he didn’t look at her chest from time to time. The daemon smirked. “You caught me.” Asher said, pushing his hair back. He walked towards Rani, his feet floating on air. The former debaucherous demon became a one-woman man. The daemon wrapped his arms around her waist. 

“Oh you caught me.” He said with a smirk. The daemon started kissing her neck. “Shall we go to the dungeon for my punishment, Officer Rani.” 

Under a cut because holy cannoli this might get long
