It was usual day for the young servant, he had finished his chores for day and was in the library, reading up the literature, most of it was on demon and god kind, with very few limited human text. He came here every so often to brush up on his knowledge, he had to be re-taught basic things after his death and arrival in the underworld. 

Just then he heard something shatter, and a voice. Quietly sighing he closed his book and headed to the source of the disturbance, in the large living room some thing had been knocked over, including a now broke vase which was the shattering sound from earlier, it had been trashed so quickly, and there in the middle of the room was his master.

“Sir...” He said as he heard weeping coming from the god, this was one of his outburst, probably to do with his son, the current ruler of the underworld, their relationship was... Complex. That’s all he could say about it.

“You shouldn’t damage your property like this master... It’s pointless.” Sora said slightly scolding his lord who just groaned and weakly gestured his arm.

“That’s what I have you for...” Vain responded, his voice slurred, his behaviour was as if he was drunk but he hadn’t consumed any alcohol, he just dealing with his grieve, problems with Vanitas, and just overall an emotional wreck.

“Why doesn’t he just accept my love...?” He groaned out throwing some glass sculpture across floor as it broke while the young butler just sighed again, he then walked over to his master, throwing his arm over his shoulder, helping him to his feet.

“Come on sir, let’s get you something to eat, get your head clear, and talk...” He was firm with the other who didn’t even fight as he followed.

In the kitchen he had sat Vain down on a chair, placed some cutlery and glass of water before him. He then got to work cooking, he knew how much his master enjoyed meat, so prepared a rare steak, he didn’t where it came from exactly but he cooked up like the recipe he read in of the books. It was seasoned, cooked medium well, served with a side of vegetables as then placed the plate before Vain.

“You think meat is gonna make me open up?” He snorted at his servant who didn’t responded.

A few minutes had passed, Vain had finished the steak, the now empty plate was before him as he leaning on the table with Sora started washing up. So much that earlier comment he thought to himself as he the demon began speaking...

“I just don’t know sometimes... Have I served my purpose? Is there nothing left for me now? Vain would rather spend time with mortals than his own father... No offence.” He said as Sora just shrugged at it as he didn’t mind.

“He holding things together here in the underworld... I just wanna be useful. I want... I want him to need me, to want me by his side.” The banished god gently tapped at the counter, thinking about all his troubles.

“Is that wrong?” He looked at Sora, the youth then returned to his master side, Vain looked at him for a response. 

“No. You want to be near your son, that’s alright, though your methods of going about it are a little forward, sometimes childish, irresponsible, and no regards for boundaries...” He said as Vain looked annoyed at Sora’s response. “But... I also think it’s sweet how much you love him.” He said smiling faintly, the god eyes widened a little as he stared at Sora for a moment.

“Your intentions are mostly good, and you mostly stay out of the way as not bother him, but I know that he loves you too.” Sora continued smiling at Vain.

“So whenever you’re upset or having an outburst, or doing something foolish... I will be there to clean up after you, make sure you’re healthy, and support how ever I can. Because you gave me a second chance, a new beginning, even though it would’ve been easier to eat me, or turn me into a demon.” He said as he dusted off some trash on Vain’s clothing.

“You have a loving heart, deep down under all that craziness... At least that my opinion of you, when you’re not behaviour immaturely.” The human soul said all serious but smiling still.

“Well I’ll go clean up the living room, you should probably rest up master, it will be good for you.” He said as he started to leave the kitchen, Vain just sat there watching Sora leave him.

“Sora...” The brunette stopped just as he was about to leave as he turned to look at the god.

“I... Uh... Thanks...” His tone was quiet as Sora faintly smiled, bowing before his master as he then left to attend to the mess.
