Evil Hearted You.

Grant was excited. It took a lot to get him to that state too, but the idea that the tasty morsel that was his nephew needed a favor from him brought great delight to his most sadistic thoughts. He always wanted a taste of the boy, but his brother and quid pro quo made that impossible, but the law of the land was that a favor must be repaid in any way the giver wanted and Grant wanted him.

"Is you gonna humiliate him first Master?"

"Oh yes, I do believe he needs to see that I have that power."

Grant stroked the head of one of his many hell hounds.

"Perhaps I shall give him to you my pet, would you like that?"

The hell hound just whined and Grant laughed.

"Yes, you need a bitch right now. Then when you are done with him, I will take him."

Grant grinned evilly.

"Oh yes, this is going to be a night he will never forget."

"YOU WHAT!?..."

Bob punched a wall hard. It crumbled under his strength.

"Frank this is by far the dumbest shit you have ever pulled in the history of your short ass life!"

"Wow...thanks Bob, cause I didn't already fucking see that. Thank you for being so enlightening."

Frank growled at him. The shadow creature was huddled in the corner. The Nightmare was not kidding that his buddy was intimidating.

"And who the fuck are you?"

"R-R-R-R-Ryan."

"Oh so you do actually have a name."

Frank glared it.

"Where was that when Gerard and I asked you who the hell you were?"

"Listen you transparent puff of smoke, if you get my friend killed, I will hunt you into your next life and the life after that."

Bob growled at the creature and then flopped on Frank's bed, deflated.

"Frankie..."

"Yeah, Bob, I know. I'm a fucking moron. You've made that abundantly clear."

Frank shook his head and rolled his eyes. Bob pulled Frank to him. On the outside Bob was one of the scariest Nightmares out there. There were legends about what he had done to destroy the minds of the most intelligent humans, but...when it came to his best friend...

"I don't want to lose you."

Frank snuggled his face into Bob. When all else failed, this was safe. His best friend was always there.

"You're not gonna fucking lose me."

"I better not cause you know I will drag that bald bastard back here by his ass hairs and singe them off one by one as I consume his very existence."

Bob knew who Mikey's uncle was and he hoped the price wasn't what he thought. Frank chuckled.

"Yeah, I don't doubt that you'd try."

"Um...can we go now?"

Bob growled at Ryan and he pulled back into the shadows more till he was just two eyes.

"You will go when I am done with my Frankie."

Frank chuckled and hugged Bob tight, content to not move.

Ryan was confused. How did these two end up being such good friends? What power did Frank have that he could tame a beast like Bob and catch the eye of the Prince? If he survived this, he would definitely be taking notes.

"Geeze Gee, when you go, you go all the way don't you? Fucking with the Prince of Darkness, messing with his kid, pissing off the devil population, AND needing a favor from one of the most sadistic fucks in our Realm that also happens to be related to the Prince...which I will admit I did not know..."

Ray flopped onto Gerard's bed.

"Plus, what is with this guy?"

"I have a name you know."

Ray stalked over and grabbed the guy’s broken horn that may or may not have been an accident.

"I don't give a fuck who you are, I give a fuck about you endangering the life of my brother."

Gerard laughed, shaking his head fondly.

"Ray, Ray, Ray...you wonderfully protective fro. This..."

He pointed to the creature with a smirk.

"...is Esmeralda...at least that's what I'm calling him right now, cause he's not seen fit to introduce himself at all...very rude."

"Fuck you, My name is Brendon!"

"Esmeralda suits you better."

Brendon growled.

"So Esmeralda...you're not gonna get me hurt, right?"

"What, you can't take care of yourself? Are you too delicate?"

"Honey, I may look like a pretty china doll, but I could knock you on your ass."

"Whatever."

"Can we get back to this situation please. Gee, how are you gonna handle Grant?"

Gerard sighed, frowning slightly.

"Not sure...that asshat is one of just two creatures I've met that my charms don't work on...the other being Gabriel. I guess that makes sense though. I suppose I'll have to wait and see what he wants."

"As long as he doesn't want you."

Brendon watched as the two incubus hugged. He thought they were cut throat creatures, but here they were showing a softer side. Maybe this was what the Prince saw. On this journey, he would be paying more attention for sure.

"Hell Hounds...fucking hell hounds!"

Mikey was face first on his bed as Pete and Patrick surrounded him.

"I'm going to be humiliated because of my dad."

Pete shook his head.

"Yeah, I mean I know he's your dad and all, but sometimes he a real dick."

Patrick rolled his eyes in response.

"Sometimes?"

"Do...do you think I should tell him...like that I am going?"

"I...don't know. He will not be happy about you trying to break this and going to Grant is probably going to piss him off even more."

"You're right, I better not."

Mikey rolled and buried his face in Patrick's chest.

"Do you think Frankie will leave me after this?"

Honestly Mikey was not worried about the incubus. He probably saw worse things in his lifetime, but Nightmares were not known to be overtly sexual creatures.

"Well...he seems to actually care about you..."

Patrick hugged Mikey tight and rested his face on the top of the Devil's head.

"But people have been known to surprise me before. I don't think he will, he's a Nightmare, he's probably seen some shit, but this may be beyond even him."

Mikey whimpered and turned to Pete.

"Pete, what do you think?"

"I think both of those boys were brave enough to come into Gabriel's house, despite neither of their species being exactly in favor...they both had the guts and the heart to take on that asshole Devil to rescue you, and now they are willing to face your uncle...I don't see either one of them running away...do you?"

"I hope not."

Mikey sighed and snuggled in more.

"Stay with me while I take a nap?"

"Of course Mikey, where else would we go?"

"You too Trick?"

"Of course, Mikey."

Mikey sighed and relaxed between his two best friend, pushing aside what tonight may bring.

*

"Fuck!"

Mikey nearly collapsed when they arrived at the front doors of his uncle’s domain. Five was so much harder then three for sure when it came to exhausting his powers. Gerard grabbed for the young Prince, catching him as he wobbled.

"You ok Mikey?"

"Just a little out of breath."

Gerard smiled softly, slipping his arm around Mikey's waist.

"Here, lean on me."

Mikey smiled gratefully.

"Thanks Gee."

"Oh man look at him, aren't you worried about that?"

Ryan looked at Frank and Frank had to resist the strong urge to kick the creature in the head and sighed heavily.

"No, I'm not, now shut up and let's go."

Mikey moved forward with Gerard. He stepped up to the huge doors and went to knock.

*creeeeeaaak*

"I guess he knows we're here."

"Cause that's not creepy at all."

Frank wrinkled his nose at the door. Mikey walked in quietly away from Gerard.

"Welcome Nephew."

A dark almost indigo man was on the top of the grand staircase.

"Good evening Uncle. Thank you for hosting my friends and I."

Gerard shuddered slightly in the Devil's presence. He'd never wanted to be a Nightmare for even a second of his life before, but it occurred to him that the ability to disappear into the Shadows would actually be quite welcome right now. Frank looked at the Devil and he didn't feel any better about this than he did when he had to deal with Gabriel.

"Yes...your...friends."

Gerard swallowed nervously; he didn't like how Grant said that. Frank looked from Gerard to Mikey, something was not right here.

"Of course I have made full accommodations for them and...you dear nephew."

"Thank you Uncle, but we shan't be staying..."

"Oh but you must...I insist."

Mikey swallowed hard. Being a Devil made him powerful enough, but being part incubus...

"Of course Uncle, we would be honored to have you host us."

Gerard frowned slightly...he'd recognise the subtle change in the air. No one else would actually catch it except another Incubus, but it would affect whoever it was directed at. How could he have never realised? This meant trouble.

"Uncle, I would like you to meet Incubus Gerard and Nightmare Frank. Also um...Sorry I didn’t..."

“It's quite alright my Prince. I am Horned Demon Brendon."

"And I am Smog Demon Ryan."

"Yes..."

Gerard muttered.

"But they aren't exactly friends."

Frank snickered quietly at Gerard's comment and nodded in agreement.

"They are the reason we have come Uncle. Father geased them to my suitors."

"For what purpose?"

"I'd say to fuck with us..."

Gerard growled.

"But that's just my opinion."

"For his own amusement more than anything."

"Actually Uncle, it was because he disapproved of my choices. He had his own agenda."

Mikey shivered at the thought of the now deceased Devil.

"Yeah, and that choice was a slimy asshole."

"I don’t see why my brother in law would not like to have another Incubus in the family."

Frank wrinkled his nose at that. Of course this guy would like Gerard. Mikey rolled his eyes. He knew why his father didn't like his uncle. He moved to Frank and pressed against him slightly.

"I don't think it is up to him either way."

"He seems to think it is."

Gerard huffed, moving closer to Mikey's other side. Frank put his arm around Mikey and let him lean into him. Grant raised an eyebrow to this movement. It made him take on a feral grin. This evening was going to be fun.

"Well then let's show you to your rooms and then we can eat and...discuss…payment."

Gerard frowned...that really didn't sound good.

Mikey let himself be led up the stairs. He was not surprised to have himself veered off towards where his uncle's bedroom was and the others towards the guest wing. Gerard wasn't surprised either, but he was definitely less than happy. Frank grumbled quietly but didn't protest any further. As Mikey was led away by Grant, he looked back at his two suitors and gave a small whimper. This made Grant very excited. He leaned in and whispered something to Mikey and then boldly licked up the side of his neck while his hand trailed down to his ass. Frank growled seeing what Mikey's uncle did to him, Mikey did not look ok with it at all.

"Get your hands off of him. Now."

Grant stopped and Mikey stilled. He turned and looked at the shorter then he creature.

"Do you have something to say to me Nightmare?"

Gerard looked back at that moment. He growled and pulled away from the creature who was leading him

"Yeah, I do. He doesn't want you touching him, if you don't see that then you're stupid. Get your hands off of him. He's not your Omega."

Grant's nostrils flared.

"He is not your Omega either tiny Alpha and you will do well to learn how to respect one that is over you."

He then turned to the Incubus.

"And you are so far beneath me that you will address me as Sir."

"Like fuck I will!..."

Gerard growled.

"You have yet to earn that respect. I may not be his Alpha but neither are you so if he doesn't want you near him then you don't get to touch him."

"And who is going to stop me?"

Frank growled viscously.

"We are!"

Gerard hissed. Grant laughed and it was sinister sounding and echoed throughout the hallway. The other two creatures stood frozen.

"Well Nephew, It seems that I have been challenged."

Mikey just stood there in shock. Gerard moved forward, baring his fangs. Grant stood there daring him to do something. Frank growled low in his throat, glaring at him and trying to judge how best to take this on. Their attempts with the last Devil seemed all but useless. This one was stronger. They needed to try something else.

"Please, stop all of you."

Gerard froze, turning his eyes to the young Prince. Frank frowned at Mikey but stopped. What the hell was he thinking? Mikey started to tremble. Too many Alphas in the room throwing off so many pheromones. Gerard took a breath and noticed how thick the air was with Alpha scent. He purposely put out a neutralizing scent to help calm the situation. He looked at Mikey and offered an apologetic smile. Frank looked at Mikey, he frowned and calmed himself down. The last thing they needed was Mikey getting caught in the middle of this, especially when they were trying to protect him. Grant grabbed Mikey to hold him steady.

"It seems we have exhausted our poor Omega. Come let us get you to rest before dinner."

Grant, much calmer now led Mikey down the hall to one of the rooms. He waved his hand and the door opened.

"Thank you uncle, I will see you all at dinner."

Mikey trudged in and then the doors closed.

"Now what?"

Frank looked at Gerard.

"Now I guess we go see our rooms."

Gerard said with little enthusiasm. Gerard turned to the goon who'd been practically dragging him to the guest rooms before, he only realised now that it was a Vampire.

"Well? You just gonna stand there, Fang, or are you gonna lead the way?"

He said with a smirk, cocking one hip out sassily.

"Mmmm well as much as I would love to watch your ass, I am sure you would enjoy mine in your view."

"Fang, you couldn't handle my ass...so, after you."

"So be it."

The vampire wiggled his ass as he led Gerard to his room. Frank shook his head and followed, unsure of where he was actually supposed to be going. Gerard scoffed.

"You call that an ass?...Frank's is better."

The vampire wasn't sure who the incubus was talking to. Hr stopped and opened the door.

"Here you are boys”

"What?!...we're not sharing!"

"You have got to be kidding me."

Frank glared at the vampire.

"Orders...although..."

The vampire slinked up to Gerard.

"...you could room with me."

"I'll pass. I don't do coffin-bunnies."

The vampire pouted.

"Well then enjoy your room boys."

He flipped them off and went to guide the other two demons to their room.

"Hey!..."

Gerard grabbed the blood sucker by the arm.

"Don't take them too far, they're joined to us."

"Oh? So if I accidentally hurt him...I'll hurt you?"

The vampire leered with this new information.

"I wouldn't try it if I were you."

Frank gave him a threatening glance.

"You don't scare me Nightmare. You are just a puff of smoke to us vampires."

"Listen fangboy..."

Gerard hissed.

"I may not like Ren and Stimpy here..."

He nodded toward the two creatures that he and Frank were joined to.

"But I like me, so you even think of hurting them, and I'll make you fall in love with the first four legged bitch you see...got it?"

Frank chuckled to himself and grinned at Gerard. He kind of liked that idea honestly.

"Oh I see. You don't want me to join your little harem."

The vampire flipped them off.

"Absolutely not."

"I'd rather fuck a tree frog!"

The vampire grabbed the other two demons and pushed them to the next door.

"Hey!"

"Watch it!"

He tossed them in and smirked at the Incubus and Nightmare as he snapped his fingers and the door clicked shut.

"Sweet dreams darlings."

He disappeared in a puff of smoke. Gerard rolled his eyes.

"I really hate Vampires."

"There are very few of them that are tolerable."

"Few?...I've never met one."

"Not all of us have the luxury of avoiding such lowly creatures."

Frank rolled his eyes.

"So I've met a few that weren't total parasite dickbags."

"Lucky you..."

Gerard said dryly before turning to scan the room.

"Fuck!...one bed..."

He looked at Frank.

"Go for it."

Frank moved away from him. He preferred curling up in a small space anyway. He saw a comfy looking chair and could steal one of the blankets from the bed if he really wanted to. Gerard raised an eyebrow.

"Really?...you're not gonna fight me on this...you don't want the bed?"

"Not worth the effort."

"Well ok then."

Gerard took off his jacket, then unbuttoned his pants. Frank curled up in the chair and tucked his legs as close to himself as he could manage, leaning against the arm of the chair and resting his chin on his knees. Gerard kicked off his shoes then stripped off his skin tight leather pants, leaving himself naked. Frank snuggled down into the chair and wrinkled his nose at the Incubus. Of course he slept naked, what else was Frank expecting. He rolled his eyes and then closed them, letting his mind wander to the edges of the Shadows a bit; just poking around to see what it was like right here.

*

*

*

*BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG*

A loud noise reverberated throughout the room.

*DINNER IS BEING SERVED IN THE MAIN HALL NOW*

Gerard groaned with annoyance and sat up.

"Fuck!...I was having a good dream too."

Frank jumped awake and rubbed at his eyes.

"What in the fuck was that and why?"

Gerard stood up from the bed and stretched.

"Dinner."

He grabbed his pants and shimmied back into them. Frank groaned as he untucked his legs and stretched the kinks out of his joints. He could hear the pops and cracks. He was comfy like that but that didn't mean his body appreciated it. Gerard didn't bother with his jacket, he was more comfortable without it anyway. Actually, if it was up to him, he'd probably go naked 24/7...he just didn't think everyone else would survive 24/7 boners. Frank ran a hand through his hair to make sure it wasn't sticking up weird and headed for the door.

"Guys, you up yet?"

There was a timid knock on the door.

"Yeah, we're up Mikey..."

Gerard said as he walked to Frank's side.

"Can you open the door?...there's no handle on this side."

Mikey pushed the door open.

"Are you alright? Did you have a good rest?"

"Yeah."

Frank nodded and gave him a small smile. Gerard nodded too.

"Yeah, I had a really good dream."

"Careful with your dreams here, they turn them against you."

Mikey sat on a chair.

"I am not looking forward to this."

Frank raised an eyebrow.

"Sometimes I'm really glad I don't dream."

"You don't?..."

Gerard asked with a tip of his head.

"That must be very dull."

"I make dreams, why would I dream. That's just redundant. And no, it's peaceful."

"Well shall we get this over with?"

Gerard groaned.

"If we must."

"Sooner it's over the sooner we can leave."

"True. And the sooner we can leave, the sooner we can get far away from Yogi and Booboo."

"Where are they anyway?"

"Next door. Well that's where Fang put them anyway."

"Next door? There is no one next door. The room is empty."

Gerard frowned.

"Then where the fuck are they?"

"What the fuck...they can't be far, can they?"

"I don't think so...how far does a geas stretch anyway?"

"I'm not sure."

Frank frowned and looked at Mikey.

"Maybe they went to dinner already."

Mikey walked to the door.

"Come on, we don't want to be late and upset my uncle."

"Oh no, wouldn't want to do that."

"No, not at all."

Mikey rolled his eyes and led them out the door, letting it close behind him with a click.
