It trembles and the gloom of the place is only intensified by the fire that burns, everyone wonders what could have caused so much anger to the ruler of the Underworld, the fire burns with more power after he screams is heard for several miles away, for which makes the atmosphere only more lujucious.Most try to act like they won't hear anything, but that doesn't take away their curiosity.Meanwhile, he sees his friend annoyed, skeptical and furious that she seemed offended by hisreaction, if she were someone else he probably would have already ripped her throat out for daring so much."How dare you doubt my word?"She is angry and offended, pouting and crossing her arms."How do you expect me to believe that the love of my life is a goddamn celestial being?"Izuku seemed like he was going to destroy everything in his path and kill every demon that came across him, so even several of his guards and subjects had already moved as far as possible from the room where he was.The only ones who were still there without much flinching were Uraraka who told him this and Todoroki who simply wanted to know more about it.“My cards never lie and you know it, it is what it is and accept it”Izuku laughs and it's more because of the bad joke that his friend is surely telling, but she rolls her eyes even more offended than before.“Oh come on, the King of the Underworld can't accept reality?”She questions this looking for his gaze, Izuku rarely got angry or seemed upset, but she is now worried because she didn't think that could put him like this.Izuku sits on his throne and bites his finger until it bleeds, he needs to get rid of that horrible feeling and he prefers that his skin bleed from him to continue imagining having feelings for a creature as insufferable as the celestials.Todoroki looks at the girl's divination cards and sighs, there are no flaws in them, in three thousand years that he has served Izuku she has never been wrong.He sees Izuku and notes that he still seemed upset."What will you do with this information?"“What are you taking about?”“An angel is out there and you will fall madly in love with them. Aren't you curious? What is will make you love with them?”Izuku is now more upset because that word turns his insides out, the mere idea that the word "love" and "angel" are in a single sentence disgusts him.It wasn't the worst, it was knowing that he would fall for this creature that he didn't even know.The bells ring and he looks up to see the demons descending from the earth, he sees how some are injured and calls his general immediately for this.Kirishima walks in and wears a cold lustful look because he didn't seem to be happy at all either.“Angel’s , they attacked without reason and killed one of my men, I managed to tear off the wings of one but the other escaped me”With that Izuku confirms and reaffirms it, he hated those disgusting beings.All of them were once one angel’s, but they left of their own free will and decided to be free from that corrupt idea of subduing humanity and only preparing for their own desires.Annoyed, he decides to descend to the heavenly realm and claim the archangel in command for what happened and perhaps ask for the head of whoever dared to kill one of his own.He goes to the only entrance that connects both worlds easily and directly, the other entrance had not been used for millennia’s.He enters and is greeted with looks full of anger and contempt, he ignores them and goes long looking for the man who triggered his murderous instincts every time he saw him."What are you doing here Izuku? You should be in your hole with the others”He doesn't even turn to look at him, he's going through some scrolls and going through books from his extensive library.Izuku grabs the desk and throws it to smash it against the wall, the archangel in front of him doesn't even flinch at his action, turning to him and giving him a bored look at what he sees as a tantrum."What do you want? My demons just watched my Leviathan and your angels hurt them, they killed one”"They also tempted some sailors and because of them they succumbed to sins I can't even name."Izuku grabs him by the neck and slams him against the wall and shows his fangs menacingly at him.“You and I know how it works and don't pretend. Who was it? Tell me so I can go for their head”“Let's stop doing nonsense, I won't tell you and you won't get in trouble”Izuku doesn't even doubt it and fits his claws into the archangel's shoulder to burn his skin, he just growls annoyed and pushes him away already irritated.“Izuku, since you are king you think you have power but that is useless if at the end of the day, you are still weak in other ways no matter what”“Shigaraki, insulting a king can be expensive”“I can pay for it, the angel who did it has already been reprimanded, we know we shouldn't bother you, so he must learn, see ya”Izuku isn't satisfied in any way, but he leaves because they will only escalate things to a level that he can't control.Shigaraki sighs in annoyance but adjusts his shirt and leaves instead.He also knows that things weren't right, that soon Izuku would no longer put up with his arrogance and it would be dangerous to deal with.But he would rather have humanity pay for those sins than have to face the devil directly.He tries to accommodate his belongings but it's too much chaos, he better get out of there to find someone else to do it for him.Someone takes his hand and stops him curious to see him irritated.“Everything is alright?”“Oh yes, don't worry, everything is fine, I just had a mishap”He cups his cheek and smiles warmly to appease him, he sees him blush and make a cute expression for it, Shigaraki smiles and moves away from him.“By the way, go to my office and clean up the mess there is, I have to solve some things”He nods and leaves to comply with the order, Shigaraki sees him go and sighs.He really hates demons.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
He was looking at the city from the top of that building in search of some entertainment that wasn't a tragedy, honestly seeing how their souls assent was the worst possible and how they are blessed with a false reality was even more absurd.He goes down and hides his features that could show he is a demon, that did not mean that his aura was not without attention, more than one female approached him and looked for him, touched his arm or smiled friendly to say hello at least.He walks and bumps into someone who sees him terrified, Izuku sighs and pats him on the back as he runs away, then after some steps in front of him falls dead causing everyone to surround him in dismay at the apparently sudden heart attack.Sinners recognize demons. And that man had sinned so much that Izuku's guts turned to know that soon his soul would rot in the abyss of his kingdom.He walks even further and sees a pet store and doesn't hesitate to look at the kittens through the window, they peek out, desperate to get his attention, hypnotized by the attractive aura he had towards them.Izuku smiles and thanks for being able to have a moment of peace in his day. He was still irritated from what happened a few months ago but things had been very calm.A dog growls at him and his owner must pull on his leash or it will probably jump at him, Izuku sees it and thinks about how humiliating it must be to have that chain around his neck and be dragged by another.He rolls his eyes and he better come back before more dogs want to growl at him.He comes back and Todoroki is waiting for him at the entrance as he always, he sees Izuku and hands him a scroll, he looks confused but notices the stamp and quickly takes it.“When did it arrived?”“A few moments ago, a messenger brought it”Izuku enters his room and breaks the stamp, opens the scroll and reads it with some eagerness to know why a virtue sent him a message.It was never a good sign.Although he smiles and gives it to Todoroki to read and understand the situation, Todoroki reads it and follows Izuku, they both go out and he chases him to reach the ruins of the old chapel that the first angels to arrive had built before accepting to become a being of the Underworld.Izuku sits on the stone throne that was there and crosses his legs and rests his chin without removing that satisfied smile.Demons begin to gather, some sit on the stones and others come down to participate.“How many years have passed?”Todoroki asks that curious."At least fifteen hundred years."Kirishima had arrived and he seemed still somewhat annoyed with what he went through a few months ago with his men."How many days did they last?"“Four days, but the demons know what happened a few months ago, this one won't last even two days with what they'll do to him for revenge”Izuku listens to them talking but he just waits for something to fall through that hole that connected his Underworld with the heaven’s.And he does, he rolls and falls onto the hard stone floor, his demons clap and cheer.They see the angel try to get up but his knees and elbows are already scraped from the fall, not only that, Izuku raises his eyebrow because he notices that his wings were full of wounds and his feathers were torn apart, making it impossible to fly.“They left him defenseless, his crime must have really been horrible.”Todoroki says that out and Kirishima laughs when he sees that the angel realizes the situation, his face full of terror at being surrounded by demons says it all.He carried with him a small golden dagger with which he tried to drive away the demons."Stay away! Do not touch me!”He yells that but his voice and legs shake.The demons who were participating in that trial where he was already considered guilty and they were the executioners laugh at his pathetic attempt to avoid what was clearly inevitable.They want to play, they pull him by the arms and throw him to the ground, they pull his wings and drag him laughing."And what did he do?"“The letter didn’t say, but no angel is released to the underworld if he didn't commit a severe crime, right Izuku?Todoroki asks him that but he notices that he continues to see directly the angel who was tortured by his subjects, they tore his clothes, pinched and scratched him, he sees how they imprison him to the ground to probably subdue him until he collapsed."Todoroki, I want it."-What thing?“The angel, I want it to last, an angel in the Underworld never lasts more than six days, I want to be able to decide when I will kill it”Izuku lets go of that and gets up to go back to his castle, Todoroki doesn't know what all of that means, much less what the king's real intention seemed to be for him.How stupid it sounded but he decides to comply with the order but Kirishima stops him.“Is he seriously? That thing must die”“He will, Izuku is the angriest here”Todoroki goes down and sees the angel already in a sea of tears and also about to be rape by the low-ranking demons, he pulls him and takes his arm dragging him with him. The demons are about to retort but going against the second highest ranked demon was dangerous.The angel is trying to catch his breath, he knows they haven’t finished, he knows that an angel in hell was the worst punishment, much greater than death.Todoroki enters and throws it at Izuku's feet as he enters the palace, he is waiting for them on his throne while he drank to celebrate the situation.The angel tries to get up but his knees just hurt."What sin did you commit?"“Fuck you”He barely manages to speak, coughing and gasping.“What?”“I said, Fuck you!He blurts it out furiously but he can only start crying and gasping, Izuku is shocked and his guards look pityingly at the angel who might be killed in a few seconds.Izuku stands up and leans over taking the boy's hair to face him."You really don't understand your situation?"“I understand that you are the idiot who rules this place, so just kill me and leave me alone!”He tries to push him but he has no strength, Izuku lets go and sees him fall completely on the ground again."No, the idea of seeing you like this for longer is gratifying after what they've done, so stay there and…"Izuku has an idea and remembers his visit to Earth that morning."I know, I'll put you on a leash and you could be my pet.""Oh, I didn't know the king was a perv..."He tries to reincorporate himself again but he only manages to sit up, still panting and wiping his tears to try not to continue humiliating himself in front of that man who clearly only wanted to torture him to death.“What's your name? To know what to put on your plate”The boy spits and manages to hit Izuku's shoes and looks at him with contempt.“Katsuki Bakugou”
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Izuku grabs him by the wrists and makes him face him again.He watches him still crying but does not change his look full of contempt towards him, his red eyes and golden hair were annoying to see, skin like porcelain full of scrapes and cuts, he sniffs him and is surprised that he stinks.The angels had probably imprisoned him for a while before sentencing him.“You really must have sinned in the worst way possible to be like this”He smiles at him and Katsuki grunts, struggling to achieve nothing, Izuku looks more attentive and admits that the beauty of an angel is always a pleasure to appreciate."How bad do you think it will be here? The more you fight back the more you will make me angry.”"There's not shit you can do to me that I care about anymore."He says that out and again spits out his words making Izuku sigh."I could fuck you to death."Izuku lets go and walks away seeing the angel tremble at his words."Let him take a bath and give him something decent to wear."He orders that and two of his guards force him out of there, Izuku sits down again and Todoroki approaches him."Are you really going to...?"“No, of course not, but his face irritates me, I just wanted to scare him.”Todoroki sighed with relief, for low-ranking demons to succumb to his wishes was normal, but not for the ruler to do so, he must be the most reasonable demon in the underworld."What will you do with him?""I should have left it to the demons."He sighs but honestly something in him made him take him for himself, he’ll probably end up succumbing to some desire that the infernal side of him wanted. When he is left in that huge bathroom he is grateful that they will go away and leave him alone, he sees his body hurt and full of wounds, he sighs and screams in frustration, he screams so loud until his throat burns. His voice echoes throughout the room, it's full of pain and agony, his crying doesn't stop and he just lets it all out.He cries and hits the ground in despair."I'm a fucking idiot, naive, stupid... I hate myself, I hate myself...!"He screams and his voice is already drowning because of the pain he feels, he gasps and the tears wet the floor and his fists, he sees them and wipes his eyes because he doesn't want anyone else to see him like this, he sees the bathroom adorned with gold and red tiles, It had a small artificial spring with hot water.He is about to take off his clothes but he trembles with the idea that someone will come in and see him, but he needed that bath, his body could no longer take the pain and sensation caused by the dirt and the wounds in him.He undresses and goes all dip into the water, sinks down and remains at the bottom for a few seconds until he finally sticks his head out to catch his breath. He takes the edge with his hands to give himself stability, his bones still ache, his wings are the ones that burn the most when touched on the water, he sees how the blood that is cleaned from them begins to stain the water.The door opens and he leans in to hide somehow, but he knows it's useless, he looks down and hears a gruff voice growling.“The water is dirty.”He sighs and Katsuki looks up."What are you doing here...?"He stops and looks away terrified, Izuku was undressing, Katsuki trembles and begins to flee to the other side of the spring using the support edge, Izuku takes a bottle that was in a box on the edge of the spring and empties it into Water.“You don't even know how to use magic.The water begins to turn bluish and shiny, it begins to create foam, Katsuki looks surprised at the water and begins to feel light, he doesn't know what is happening, Izuku gets into the spring and rest on the edge, he sees how the angel in front of him did not appear to be understanding how the water was healing his wounds.But he notices the mangled wings still, his wounds closed, but they were still practically useless.Izuku takes them and pulls him towards him, Katsuki grunts and jumps, turns and tries to break out of Izuku's grasp, but Izuku corners him against the edge and sees him up close."How can an angel your age not know how to use a simple healing potion?"“Because we use miracles and as you can notice, I was already forsaken by God...”Katsuki looks up annoyed at his halo with disdain, it was opaque without shine, Izuku hadn't noticed, he was about to take it but Katsuki pushed him.“No, it's the only symbol of who I am and I don't want to lose it!”He is desperate, Izuku still takes it and rips it off making Katsuki cry desperately, he takes it in his hands and decides to put it back on the angel's head."It's no use anymore, I would have burned myself if it were."Katsuki sees it relieved, he knows it, he is aware that it is now just an ornament, that at the moment he was sentenced he had lost all traces of divinity and all strength that was given by God as a blessing.Izuku takes him in his arms and takes him out of the water, Katsuki petrifies at his touch, he wants him to let go but the fear of the demon king was much greater.-Don’t touch me...He manages to whisper that but Izuku doesn't pay attention to him, he simply walks to the closet at the back of the bathroom, sits him on a bar and quickly takes out a bathrobe and throws it at him, Katsuki takes it and covers himself, trying to hide his nakedness from the demon, but Izuku had already seen it all and knows it’s stupid at that point.Izuku just takes a towel and places it around his waist, he starts walking away to get out of there."Wait, what are you going to do with me?"Katsuki asks him that and still somewhat upset, he gets up and follows him in search of an answer. When he heard his sentence, he knew that the underworld would be a horrible punishment, that being there was certain death in a slow and horrible way.Izuku doesn't stop and just continues towards the door.“For now, do whateyou want, just don't leave the castle, you know what the demons will do to you if you do.”
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
He sees the clothes he had been given, he is grateful that they are not revealing or tacky, a white shirt with ruffles on the neck and gold stitching on the sleeves, plus black pants and boots, it is nothing like what he use to wear, but it's better than nothing, already dressed, he walks fearfully through the corridors, not wanting to stay hidden in the bathroom, although he was honestly regretting not doing so.He looks out a window to better see the underworld, it is so different from his home, he sees the dark and reddish sky, black clouds and a red sun, as there is no colorful or living vegetation, the castle is surrounded by a dense forest with black leaves and thorns. He can hear chaos around, screams and laments, he knows that deep down is the hole where sinners are usually left.He moves away from the window and tries to figure out what to do or where to stay for now, he is afraid of running into some demon that wants to hurt him.He sees a door where some light was passing through, he opens it and comes across a huge garden, it looks nothing like the forest that surrounded the underworld, he enters curiously and is surprised to see different plants, trees and flowers, he had never seen anything like this .Would they be brought from the earth?It is a possibility, although he has never been there, not all angels were allowed to descend into the human world, although he knows that demons have more free will to walk through it, he is not surprised that this king had his personal garden of plants that he stole.He walks and sniffs curiously, he must admit that it is a beautiful sight, he then runs into a large tree in the middle of the garden, he sees it and notices that it gave red fruits, he looks at them curiously and admits that although he did not have the need to eat, the times he hear that although humans did it out of necessity, they used to very easily fall for the sin of gluttony.For what he imagined that it must be something very tempting to be something already daily in the routine of humans, he sees the fruit doubtful because he is afraid of sinning, although he was already thrown into hell, there could be no more punishment for this, or would it? The sovereign of the underworld told him to do whatever he wanted.He jumps to reach a fruit and frowns when he realizes that it is very high, he sees his wings and sighs because they were already useless after what the archangels did with them. He jumps again and as he falls he collides with something behind his back, he turns and sees his curious look.“What are you doing?”Izuku asks him that with a somewhat dry voice, it was clear that he was not happy to see him there, Katsuki staggers in terror and falls crashing against the trunk of the tree.“I just…You said to do whatever I want.”He says that annoyed because he was questioning him, Izuku looks towards the tree and notices that he was trying to take one of the fruits, he can easily rise a few centimeters and take one, the reddest he found."Okay, eat it then."He extends it to him and now Katsuki doubts it, he takes it and looks at it analyzing it, he sees the demon to understand what intentions he had. They no longer matter to him at that point, he bites into the fruit and feels a flutter in his stomach and palate, he never imagined something like this existed, he blushes and looks away because he can't help but smile, it was delicious.Izuku laughs when noticing the stupid action of the angel in front of him, it was a simple apple, nothing amazing, well, not anymore."You can't blame Eva for eating it anymore."He blurts that out and Katsuki gasps, he's already devoured almost the entire apple, he coughs because he choked at being surprised at what Izuku said."Did you give me the forbidden fruit? Now I can never go back to heaven!”Katsuki drops the apple and starts to cry, Izuku rolls his eyes and cups his cheek and makes him look up to face him.“That wasn't going to happen and you know it, no one goes back, that's the law.”“But, I can still prove my innocence, God is fair, he will have mercy on me and...”Annoyed, Izuku lets go and sits leaning against the trunk of the tree, looks up at the gloomy sky that had his kingdom and sighs annoyed.“If you're here it's because you committed a big sin that will never be forgiven, accept that you're scum like us.”His tone is dry and cruel, almost cold, annoyed Katsuki throws what was left of the apple at his head, Izuku complains about the blow."No, I didn't... It wasn't my fault!"Katsuki is now full of anger and tears uncontrollably, he was losing his composure, annoyed Izuku gets up and grabs his wrists cornering him against the tree trunk. Katsuki complains about the overwhelming pain it causes to his injured wings.“Every sinner wants to justify himself, but at the end of the day everyone will be condemned, so don't try to make an excuse.”With a dry voice he whispers that in his ear, Katsuki trembles and kicks him in the leg, Izuku sighs because clearly that angel didn't understand the situation he was really in. He tightens his grip and looks into his eyes.“You have a peculiar color tone, not common among celestial beings, you will fit well here.”He smiles and finally lets go, Katsuki is still annoyed, he doesn't want to agree with him, or the court, or the archangels, much less who was guilty of him being there.He didn't do anything wrong.
