The bright sun poured through the curtains of the dark room, going directly into Asmodeus’ eyes. He blinked them open and immediately closed them at the light shining down. After a few moments, he fluttered them open once more and looked around.
He was cuddled in between his two favorite people. His girlfriend, Clara, on his right, had her arms wrapped around his, head shoved in his side, with her leg slung across both of his. His boyfriend, Iruma, was on his left, head rested on his chest, arm slung across his chest.
Asmodeus smiled down at the two, warmth flooding his heart at the sight. The night before was wonderful. They stayed up eating and laughing and dancing together until they finally retired for the night, cuddling close to him. All three fell asleep fast in their new home together.
He didn’t know what he would do without the two. His heart was warm every time they were around. This was their home, but they were his home.

“What if we moved in with each other?” The bluenette looked at the green and pink haired demon with a blush. He paced around his room at his grandpa’s manor.
Well that came out of nowhere. They had just graduated from Babyls a couple of months ago. It was already nearing June now. Asmodeus and Iruma had finished top of their class, with Clara doing a bit better than they thought she would. They were all proud.
“I mean unless you guys don’t want to! Which would totally be okay. I just thought that it would be fun to, since we are all together now.” Iruma giggled, with a hand behind him, scratching his neck nervously.
The other two demons look at each other, their shock turning into wide smiles.
“Yeah! I wanna move in with Azz-Azz and Iruma-chi!”
“I would be honored to, Master Iruma.”
Iruma gives them a wide smile and wraps his arms around them in a tight embrace.
“Iruma.” He corrects while his face is muffled in Asmodeus’s chest.
The pink-pink haired giggles and nods his head. “Right, my apologies Iruma. I just have so much respect for you still. And it is quite new getting used to this now that us three are partners.”
“I can still call Iruma-chi, Iruma-chi, right? And Azz Azz, Azz Azz?” Clara looks up from the hug and switches her gaze between her partners.
“Of course!”
“Yes, Clara.”
They both say in unison while smiling at the green-haired demon.
“So, Where should we look?” Clara asked her boyfriends as she grabbed their hands in hers, dragging them to Iruma’s bed.
The two followed, and plopped themselves down, having Clara sitting in the middle, hands still clasped together.
“Well, I suppose there should be some on the marketplace, yeah? We can take a look online later?” Asmodeus suggested, getting comfortable on Clara’s left.
“Yeah. That sounds good!” Iruma responds, getting comfortable on Clara’s right. He grabs the remote to the projector Opera had set up for them earlier and looks to his two partners. “How about we watch a movie for now?”
The two nod and Iruma turns on a movie none of them had seen before.
Iruma leans his head down to rest it on top of Clara’s shoulder, pulling their arms to link as well as their hands. Asmodeus smiles down at the two before kissing their heads to see them giggle and smile, then lays his own head down on top of theirs. Before the movie even gets half way through, they are dead asleep.
If Opera comes in, takes pictures, and wraps the three in a blanket as they sleep, they don’t stir, resting peacefully in each other's arms throughout the night. Their limbs tangled with each others under the blanket, snores fill the silence of the night.
-----
Which brings us back to present time. The three of them, with the help of Opera and David, brought up their boxes to their new found home. They had picked a pretty house, close to all three of their original homes in a comfortable spot in the forest. It was nothing like Iruma’s or Asmodeus’ manor, but it wasn’t as small as Clara’s house either.
When the three saw the ad online for this house, they knew it would be the perfect fit for their trio. It had three bedrooms, one of them being a master with a bed, tub, and shower big enough for the three of them to fit in. It also had a big kitchen and living room.
Soon, when all the boxes were brought up, the trio insisted Opera and David that they could handle the unpacking on their own. They left after a bit of reassurance from the three that they wanted to do this themselves.
“Alright, Azz Azz, Iruma-chi! Let’s get started!” Clara exclaimed excitedly, hands on her hips.
Clara walks over to their speaker and plugs up her hellphone, turning on a playlist they all added songs to. She starts to dance around, taking different things out of boxes and putting them in their perspective places.
The other two boys watched in awe for a moment, then started to follow her lead, spinning and being silly with each other while unpacking their boxes. They all unpack for a bit, having casual conversation as background and humming the tunes to the songs playing.
Iruma’s favorite song soon turns on, and his eyes light up.
“Azz! Clara! Dance with me!” Iruma laughed and grabbed a hold of their hands.
“Oh!” The pink and green haired demons say in unison with bright, wide smiles on their faces.
The three of them dance around in circles, looking into each other's eyes. They only met a little over four years ago, and all of them had come so far in who they have become as a person. They grew together, helping each other along the way. Asmodeus had become less blunt and rude over the years, Clara finally learned what real friendship and love was, and Iruma had built up his confidence. And together, they all collectively found a place where they felt at home.
Now, to actually have that home be a physical place, instead of just where he felt at home, is an amazing feeling. He gets to create a home with the two people he loves most in this world. Each of them knew that if they had to go away, this place, this home, they would be here waiting for them. No matter what.
“I love you two so much, and I’m so happy we are here together now.” Iruma looked into his partner’s eyes with happy tears hanging in the corners of his own.
“We love you too, Iruma-chi!” Clara giggled.
“Very much so.” Asmodeus smiled. He lifted his hand forward and wiped the tears that were about to fall from Iruma’s eyes. Then, he kissed the top of Clara’s head.
“We have just come such a long way with each other. I never thought I would be here.” Iruma leaned into the hand on his face, nuzzling against it.
“I can’t say I did either. I would have expected to still be on my own.” Asmodeus thought.
“Yeah, I probably would also be on my own. Iruma-chi and Azz Azz were the first people to show me what friendship is!”
Iruma laughed as he heard the two’s answers.
“What is it?” Clara tilted her head.
“Just. If you think about it… If Azz would have never tried to fight me the first day of school, or if Clara wouldn’t have run into… or rolled into us that day… We three would have never met. It’s kind of like fate. We were destined to meet and complete each other.” Iruma smiled at them.
A shiver ran through the demons’ spine at the thought of the three never having met.
“Don’t say things like that, Iruma!” Asmodeus said with a small frown.
“Yeah! That’s a scary thought. I don’t know what I would do without you guys!” Clara frowned, sticking out her bottom lip, a bit more upset than Asmodeus was.
The two boys smiled at their girlfriend, then looked at each other with sparkling eyes, glinting with mischief. They then turned their head back to Clara and started pampering her face with small kisses, in an attempt to cheer her up.
“S-Stop! Iruma-chi! Azz Azz!” She giggled at the kisses, but made no move to push them back.
Asmodeus and Iruma loved to tease their girlfriend with harmless, ticklish kisses like that when she got a bit upset. It would always do the job in cheering her up.
After a few moments more, Clara’s cute giggling filling the air, they both pulled away with a big, slobbery kiss on both cheeks. She gave them an disgusted, yet amused face at the wetness now on her cheek. The two boys giggled as well, and pulled her into a hug where she was sandwiched between the two.
They remembered the song was still playing, so they started dancing like that, Clara sandwiched between Iruma and Asmodeus. All of them laughing and giggling.
“Should we call it a night? I’m getting hungry!” Iruma licked his lips.
“When are you not hungry?” Asmodeus lifted an eyebrow with a small, teasing smirk.
Iruma blushed and Clara giggled.
“Come on! I’ll cook some of Mommie’s Muffle Wuffle Crackle Bang!” Clara announced, slipping out of the crack between the two boys and heading to the kitchen
“The… The what??” Iruma glanced at Clara with a confused look on his face before looking over to his boyfriend for answers.
“Fried chicken. It’s fried chicken.” Asmodeus sighs and looks like he just remembered a stressful memory. He then walks to the kitchen to join Clara.
Iruma looks between his partners questioningly, before shaking it off and joining them as well.
“Iruma-chi! Can you go get some tomatoes?” Clara glances over at him with a weird look in her eye which Iruma seems to catch up on.
“Yeah! I can do that!”
“Wait, you two. The recipe doesn’t call for tomatoes?” Asmodeus looks between the two, confusion plastered on his face.
“Oh It’s-”
“It's a new recipe! Mommie hasn’t updated it yet!” Clara cuts Iruma off. “And it’s all up here!” She taps her head. “Now Iruma-chi…” She nods to the door.
“Right! Be back!” Iruma kisses Clara’s head and Asmodeus’ cheek before grabbing his wallet and heading out the door.
-----
When Iruma got back with his grocery bag, he snuck through their back door and put down what he had in the bag. He walks into the kitchen, tomatoes in hand and puts them on the counter.
Clara and Asmodeus welcome him back with a smile, and the three of them continue to cook. Clara does indeed find a way to incorporate it into the recipe, making a nice tomato based sauce for the three of them to use.
They finish up the meal, and set it up on their island counter. They would use their dining table, but it is currently covered in various boxes.
They ate, with conversation filling the gaps about different things. Iruma brings up that Lied wanted to throw a housewarming party for the three of them, which they agreed to and were discussing a date for.
Iruma notices the three of them have finished, so he slips out of his chair, taking the plates to the sink. He disappears through the other room before Asmodeus has any time to ask where he’s going, so he continues his conversation with Clara about the new Akudoll that popped up recently.
“ Happy Birthday To You! Happy Birthday To You!”
Asmodeus turns his head and sees Iruma holding a cake and singing a strange song. Soon, Clara joins in as well. He just sits there and lets them sing, bringing up the cake to him with candles on it.
The two finish the song and smile at him.
“Happy Birthday Azz Azz! Blow out the candles and make a wish!”
Asmodeus raises an eyebrow, but Iruma and Clara wave their arms for him to continue. So he scoffs, amused and makes a wish, blowing out the candles. When he opens his eyes, his two partners are staring into his eyes, sparkling.
“I sort of forgot it was my birthday, with everything going on.” He giggled.
“We didn’t!” Clara stuck out her tongue and placed her head on Asmodeus’ shoulder where he sat.
“I know you said you wanted to learn a bit more about Human culture…” Iruma wrapped his arm around Asmodeus’ neck. “So I wanted to show you what I used to do!” He smiled at him with the brightest smile.
“You did all that for me? Both of you?” Asmodeus looked between the two of his partners with his face flushed red, and a happy smile on his face.
“I mean, the song was pretty easy to learn! Though I did have to go digging to find these party hats!” Clara smiles, slipping behind the counter and pulling three party hats out. Two of them were matching stripes, while one had polkadots.
Iruma grabs one of the striped hats and places it on his head. While the other two demons go for the striped hat to match with Iruma. They look at each other, playful glints in their eyes. Then Clara sighs and lets go.
“You better be lucky it’s your birthday.” She giggles and picks up the polka-dotted hat.
They serve the cake and eat together, somehow smearing cake all over themselves in the process… Ahem Clara.
They spend the night with board games, video games, and dancing around their new living room. A warm feeling filled their hearts as they played and laughed together in the comfort of their, now, home .
They all began to get a little sleepy, so they headed towards their bedroom. Already having put on the sheets and blankets and pillows, they easily slid into bed. All tangled together with Asmodeus in the middle.
“Mm, Today was amazing. Thank you Iruma and Clara.” Asmodeus snuggled up into their embraces at either side of him.
“Any time Azz Azz!” Clara said with a yawn.
“Always.” Iruma yawned when he saw Clara do the same.
Not too long after, they drifted off to sleep, content in each other's arms and thinking about all the memories they will be able to share in this space they have together now.
