What I think when I see companies saying they want 1 year experience but no more than 2:

"We want someone already trained so we don't have to pay for that and we can underpay them because they lack experience."

[twopoppies]

Sorry to go back to Bg but I'm convinced Louis team was intending to let it fade into irrelevance until nobody remembered it until B's sugar daddy exposed her and he/his team did what they always do and overreact instead of using it and backdating the whole thing they went in the opposite direction and pushed to try and cover up the fact he had nothing to do with the kid for years. ( just like with larry,, there was no reason to do all that it just made people more interested in them) all they've done with it is made a bigger mess that's going to be MORE sus and make MORE people look deeper into everything when it finally ends or more likely gets exposed (disclaimer: i dont want him to be exposed it's just the fact is the bigger the lie the harder it is to keep 🤷‍♀️)

Yeah, I agree that Boobgate seemed to be the turning point. I don't think it was entirely an overreaction because they could have course-corrected if so. They haven't yet and it's been two years at this point. I really think there's some kind of legal issue he's trying not to get caught in. There's no way Sony would take the fall if the truth came out. It would all fall on Louis.

I'm not an attorney, but from what I can understand, falsely claiming to be a parent on a birth certificate can lead to serious legal consequences. At the federal level, there is no specific law criminalizing falsely signing a birth certificate, but this type of fraud can have various legal repercussions based on state laws.

False Information as Fraud: In California, knowingly providing false information on a birth certificate is considered a form of fraud, and the state may impose both civil and criminal penalties. California law treats falsely establishing paternity as perjury if done knowingly, which can be a felony with significant fines and potential jail time.

Paternity Presumption: In California, when a man signs a voluntary declaration of paternity, the law presumes he is the legal father. If he later claims he is not the biological father, he may face legal complications, especially if he signed the declaration while knowing he was not the biological parent. Depending on the state, this can be classified as a misdemeanor or felony offense with penalties including fines, imprisonment, or both.

Federal Involvement in Fraud Cases: If the false claim is part of a larger fraud scheme involving benefits, such as falsely claiming dependency benefits, federal charges could apply. For instance, fraudulently claiming a dependent on tax filings (if connected to a fraudulent birth certificate) could lead to charges for tax fraud or other federal offenses. I doubt Briana is filing taxes claiming Freddie as a dependent, but Tammi and Brett may be. Or Louis might be required to do it but isn't. I have no idea, but it's something to think about.

Consequences Beyond Criminal Penalties: Falsely signing a birth certificate can also have serious civil repercussions, especially in cases where paternity or custody rights are contested later. Courts may impose penalties, order repayment of child support or benefits fraudulently obtained (ie: requesting government assistance), and adjust parental rights or responsibilities (would this affect who has the right to care for Freddie and make decisions concerning his well-being?). Additionally, Louis' ability to keep his US Visa (thus being able to visit/tour/work in the US) could be compromised if he were found tp have committed fraud.

(If there are actual Family Law attorneys out there, please correct me if I'm wrong)

This is not to say he is stuck forever. But I think he needs to establish that he THOUGHT he was Freddie's dad for a long enough time to then have a DNA test and prove that he's not, but he can't appear to have known the whole time.

This, IMO, is why fans are better off just shutting up about it right now because constantly pointing out the pregnancy discrepancies, or how much he didn't do in those first five years, probably makes things more difficult for him.

[vin-taege]

i love your shower hc! anddd could you do a fwb chishiya? ly <3

For Your Benefit

Summary: Chishiya is your friend with benefits, and he may or may not have feelings for you.

Genre: fluff, smut

Note: I'm so bad at writing no strings attached content jsjs

your relationship initially starts out as Chishiya thinking he could manipulate you and use you for later

what he doesn't know is you're thinking of the exact same thing 

you struck up a "companionship" with him because you knew his wit could get you far into games

and supposedly, when the time was right, you'd drop him and never look back

all your interactions since were full of friendly-ish arguments and nagging (mostly from your side)

you haven't exactly hit his soft spot yet but he was growing to long for your presence

after a huge argument imploded between you two, mainly because of differing strategies during an eight clubs game, that's when it started 

despite his sharp tongue and your headstrongness, you found yourselves making out in his hotel room

which is unarguably the best way to diffuse the fight altogether

it was about time for you to find a way to relieve stress too

notably, there wasn't much aftercare

man gave you a glass of water then went back to bed 

the morning after, you didn't really talk about it

he didn't bring it up and you figured you wouldn't either

save yourselves from the awkward talk, that type of thing 

then after another stressful game, it happened again 

you were scavenging for food in an abandoned shop while waiting for hatter's car to come back 

after feeling a tap on your shoulder, you turned around only to find him staring at you blankly

the tips of his shoes were just about touching yours

then he pinned you to the shelf

since that incident, it was just another norm you've come to welcome in your "friendship"

expect an abundance of hungry kisses, a stark contrast to his calm demeanor 

he's surprisingly a giver, never neglecting foreplay 

he likes making you cum on his fingers at least once

generally loves seeing your thighs slicked up by your wetness 

doesn't get to eat you out much because of how frantic your fucking is

they're mostly quickies in empty hotel rooms, janitor closets, abandoned shops 

but when you finally get alone time thanks to the visa days you've saved up, his mouth never left your clit

you never left the bed that day, and half of the time, your legs were shaking

OH and he tries to be quiet as much as possible 

it's been your personal challenge to make a few moans slip from him

the best results were yielded from sloppy blowjobs and riding 

you've never seen his face when he cums

it's probably part of his ego thing to stay in control

either he buries his face in your neck or he finishes during doggystyle

over time though, you start to notice that he's slowly turning soft 

yippee, there's more than just a glass of water on your bedside table

there are also clean clothes now ! a pastry sometimes

he leaves a bath for you too

he just never cuddles

not yet 

he's also more protective of you, steering you away from Aguni and Niragi 

Kuina definitely knows what's up 

she gives you knowing looks but she doesn't say anything

you have a running joke now where she started leaving condoms around your hotel room

OK I JUST HAD ANOTHER EPIPHANY

chishiya definitely loves playing with your nipples

he likes how whiny and breathy you get

the sound of you alone makes his head swim

the first time you had slow sex was after you almost died in a seven of hearts game

some guy had wanted to sacrifice you and Chishiya tazered the shit out of him

when you went back to the Beach, he followed you into your room 

chishiya was kissing you gently, but you could feel his heart pounding in his chest

he took his time with you that night, trailing kisses all over your body and repeatedly asking if you were okay

it was early in the morning by the time you finished

you were doubly tired, but felt euphoric nonetheless 

and as you were falling asleep, you felt it

his arm wrapped around you uneasily

he was tense at first, then you shuffled a bit closer to him, a form of silent encouragement 

he held you tighter, pressing his chest against your back

and as you fell asleep you thought that maybe you could make something out of this after all

[sgiandubh]

Wonder if Sam will take his new legal American bride to Italy? He will be married, although unlike Caitriona's it will be a fake marriage, by 31 Dec. He needs the residency.

Dear Married Anon,

Three possibilities on this one: a) you watched 90 Days Fiancé for way too long and with no attention to details; b) you think I am an idiot, with no legal knowledge or experience; c) you are an idiot, with no legal knowledge or experience.

Your question comes with two strong biases, too: a) that you somehow are privy to such nonsense and b) the old & stale fake vs. organic marriage refrain, regarding C (that, by the way, proves that I did hit a nerve).

I am not very sure to whom exactly do you think you are talking, here. But if I do know one thing is that you, honey, are a Mighty Twat. If you wanted to be consistent with the crap the Gay Crowd spreads around, you could have gone for 'he needs a more solid/credible beard than that', instead of the completely inane 'he needs the residency'. What is he, Burmese? Oh, FFS. And by 'Burmese', I mean exactly this: are his life/personal safety in clear and present danger, in his home country, because of his ethnicity and/or political views? The answer is no, and he could still use his right of asylum. Does he need the US residency in order to secure a better paid job for himself? The answer is no: lots of other avenues can be explored and are routinely being used by thousands of foreign actors/performing artists, in order to legally work and reside in the US. I have even mentioned it before:

(Full October 2023 post, here: https://www.tumblr.com/sgiandubh/729979831079649280/mordor-says-he-returned-only-for-visa-reasons)

But let's suppose even a nanoshred of what you wrote could technically be correct. When you are an US citizen and you want to bring your significant other to live with you there, you basically are offered two options:

Scenario One: you want to bring your fiancé(e) to the US and get married there. You will need the K-1 visa, as anyone even remotely familiar with that reality show I mentioned knows. That doesn't exactly click with a hastily cobbled 'new American bride' he would marry until December 31 and this is why, according to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) own website:

[Source, LOL: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/guides/A2en.pdf]

'You have met each other in person within 2 years before you file this petition'. Who is it, then? The whore? She is French. The chatty influencer? She's 'so over him' (FFS, LOL). Alice 'he's mine and will never be yours'' Panikian? If you think so, you are aff yer heid on cheap gin. Hm? Ashley Hearn? Met her too late and you all know it. A secret lover? ROFLMAO. And psst: Raya girls are just for fun, they don't think homestead. Cross my heart, Anon.

Current and official USCIS average processing time for fiancé petitions at their (logically) California Service Center is:

But it could be as long as 26 months and a half, if he decides to settle for a Vermont beauty (LOOOOOOOL).

You should also know a couple of other things, Anon. First thing is he will not be able to enter the US under the type of visa he currently more than probably holds, in order to do so - that would be a heavily punished immigration fraud:

Mhm. Restrictions on his ability to future immigration benefits/permanent residence, fine and imprisonment. I hope I do not need to further develop, on this one.

Last thing you should have taken into consideration before writing this bullshit is that the fiancé visa would restrict his ability to go back to his own home country during all the waiting time. Why would an actor refuse work opportunities in the UK or in Europe for the sake of a fake marriage, as you called it yourself? Oh, if you only had a brain!

Need I say more about the grueling in-person cross-check interviews ? You should watch a wonderful movie starring Gerard Depardieu (a pig alright, but he is perfect, in there) and Andie MacDowell: it's even called Green Card, LOL. Few things changed since 1990, and if anything, the screw got only tighter. Not to mention the fact he will be unable to work in the US during the waiting process and she will have to prove she can sponsor/provide for him! ROFLMAO.

Scenario Two: you get married abroad and want to bring your spouse to the US, afterwards. You will need to file the Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative):

[Source: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/guides/A1en.pdf]

All this does, in reality, is put the spouse in line with thousands of other similar applicants. Residency will be granted only after extensive background checks and this is where I would like to stop for a while, Anon. You are with the Gay Crowd, right? Then how does this logically click with your long established talking point about his 'once very public gay life? Ah: he isn't gay? ROFLMAO. You see, being gay is a bit like being pregnant, Anon: you can't be 'just a little bit pregnant' and you certainly can't be 'just a little bit gay', either. Spare me the drivel 🙄. Kindly note those background checks are dead serious and could result in deportation - thought you should know, before you spew idiocies again.

Onwards with that residency thing:

If S were in Scotland/the UK when the 'legal fake bride' would file in the petition, he would not be allowed to come visit or work in the US: why would an actor be forced to turn down lucrative opportunities in Hollywood or elsewhere in the country, for the sake of bearding or circus only? And while S could technically apply for permanent resident status if he already were in the US at the time of the application for I-130, he would still not be able to work and therefore must be sponsored by the 'legal bride'. ROFLMAO, again.

I mean, this is so ridiculous I could cry. He would be invited to come to the US only after the petition is approved, which does not click with your suggested timeline and the seeming 'emergency situation' ('he NEEDS the residency', your ask shouts at the Entire Universe) . Why the haste? Just because you wanted to somehow shoehorn it in, somewhere before Inauguration Day? I have no words, but my paunch hurts with laughing right now.

Finally let's have a look at processing current times:

But it could go as long as...

I cannot stress enough that permanent residency will be granted only after the processing time is completed.

Why, oh, why would someone so inextricably complicate his entire existence in such an idiotic fashion, Anon? And finally, give me and yourself a break and read the damn political room, here, too. I will not elaborate, but I surely hope you do not live under a rock.

I rest my case, thank you, fuck off.

Permanent Residency in Thailand

Dreaming of a tropical paradise as your permanent home? Thailand, with its stunning beaches, vibrant culture, and affordable cost of living, has long been a popular choice for expats seeking a more relaxed lifestyle. If you're considering making Thailand your permanent residence, here's what you need to know.

Understanding Permanent Residency in Thailand

Unlike many Western countries, Thailand does not offer a traditional permanent residency visa. However, there are a few pathways to secure long-term stays:

O-Visa: This visa is granted to individuals who have made significant investments in Thailand, such as buying property or starting a business.

Retirement Visa: Designed for individuals aged 50 or older, this visa allows for a long-term stay based on a monthly income requirement.

Marriage Visa: If you marry a Thai citizen, you can apply for a marriage visa, which can eventually lead to permanent residency.

Requirements and Process

The specific requirements and processes vary depending on the visa type you choose. However, some common factors include:

Financial Stability: You'll need to demonstrate sufficient funds to support yourself and your dependents during your stay.

Health Insurance: A valid health insurance policy is often required.

Background Check: A clean criminal record is essential.

Documentation: You'll need to provide various documents, including passports, proof of income, and possibly medical certificates.

Benefits of Permanent Residency

Long-Term Stay: Enjoy the freedom to live and work in Thailand without the need for frequent visa renewals.

Quality of Life: Experience Thailand's unique culture, beautiful landscapes, and friendly people.

Affordable Living: Enjoy a relatively low cost of living compared to many Western countries.

Business Opportunities: If you're an entrepreneur, Thailand offers a favorable business environment.

Considerations and Challenges

Language Barrier: While many Thais speak English, learning some basic Thai can significantly improve your daily life.

Cultural Differences: Be prepared to adapt to a different culture and lifestyle.

Healthcare: While healthcare is generally affordable, the quality can vary.

If you're considering permanent residency in Thailand, it's essential to do your research and consult with an immigration expert. They can provide personalized guidance and help you navigate the complex visa application process.

Hey Ranger Rai? Is it possible for Sableye to be native to snowy mountain regions? Because if not, I may have just found something a bit concerning. I was up in the mountains with my camera taking some nature photography after a blizard, and I noticed a Sableye that was not only out in the open instead of in a cave, but it seemed to be traveling with a small group of Sneasel. The Seansel seemed fine with the Sableye and visa versa, and it kinda seemed like the Seasel had taken it in as part of their group. I watched em for a bit from a distance, and it seemed like the Sneasel were leading the Sableye to an Alolan Sandshrew they were trying to hunt. I lost sight of them for a bit, but spotted them again as I was leaving, the Sneasel and Sableye carrying off a now-hunted Sandshrew that had a massive bite mark on it. Sneasel can't get through a Sandshrews armor, but a Sableye can easily bite through diamonds, and I think these lil Sneasel have figured that out and is why they've taken the Sableye in. What worries me though is I don't think Sableye are native in this type of climate, much less outside of a cave? I'm worried the little guy might be misplaced somehow, and if this is safe for the Sableye or the local environment? Sableye fur is shorter and less insulated than a Sneasel, the Sableye looked like it was struggling to navigate the snowy terrain without the Sneasels help, and I worry if this may have a negative impact on the ecosystem up here with a new possibly-invasive pokemon hunting with the Sneasel?

Wow, what an observant find.

Beleive It or not, this isn't too uncommon.

While they aren't built for extremely cold climate, Sableye do live in cold and damp caves, so they can be tolerant to cold weather.

Sneasel and Weavile are group pokemon who are pros at survival and adaptability.

Much like Murkrow, Sneasel have been observed taking in certain pokemon that might benefit their hunts.

It's pretty common here in Sinnoh.

My associate, Ranger Eddie, has observed Sneasel and Weavile taking in steel types.

There's a group apparently that has adopted in a Lucario to help them take down pesky poison types like Drapion.

They don't tend to take in more than one at a time, usually to keep control of their numbers and to go uncontested.

In return for the pokemon's help, they usually provide them with shelter, warmth, food etc.

In this instance, it doesn't sound like it's a serious issue.

Sneasel are pretty smart, and the Sableye seems well taken care of.

Now, if you happen to see larger numbers of Sableye mimicking this behavior in this environment, then we might have an issue and need to contact your local rangers.

Yunjae Analysis

Part I

I'm a yunjae believer but i don't think they are together anymore.They broke up years ago

My analysis is based on my observation of JJ since he is very honest with his feeling.Yh always tries to hide his feeling especially since he is in SM:

It is an open secret for everyone that they were couple in TVXQ.

Post split, JJ was devastated and his songs are mostly sad love songs.

Kcassie and C cassie said that the two were meeting starting of 2012 but jj songs at that time were always sad wich make me believe that they were sort of friends with benefits with no commitment (the commitment jj always expected from Yh)

By the end of 2014,JJ seems more calm , less depressed,he started gaining weight and his emo tweets are less frequent indicating the start of his ''healing period''.For me, before this, he was in his bubble refusing to move on from TVXQ and Yunho.In one of his songs he even said ''i'm living in the memories of loving you" but in 2014, his enlistment was set and reality catches him so he started reflecting on his life and choices

He started accepting that he is not a TVXQ member anymore and will not be with YH anymore.This thought was reinforced in yh 2015 birthday, he was in Japan and said that he was feeling lonely since no one wishes him Happy birthday.See,JJ who , in all those years, always tweeted some ''non obvious'' tweet about yh in his birthday didn't even wishes him happy birthday in private.This year , they weren"t seeing eo for sure.

The same year,in jj concert the beginning of the end,two days before his enlistment,he said that he was reflecting on himself and regretted not spending time with the people around him, those who loved him.In the segment after the concert when asked about the best three moments in his twenties (by the ways his twenties started from 2006 when he was still a member of TVXQ) he replied : winning the case against SM,releasing jyj album in japan,when JYJ members comes to see him before his enlistment and they spent two days together.See,he never talked about tvxq despite having a good memories with them.

From all this,i believe jj was moving on from yunho around this period (2014 to 2015).It took him a couples years to do so since he loved yh with all his heart, he didn"t left a little for himself.5 years to move on

Part II

Their relationship after military service is difficult to undertand so i will try to analyze jaejoong first then Yunjae

JJ after MS (military service) is another man, different from the one he was before MS. He is happy,in peace with himself, no emo tweet , no sad love songs,no crying on stage He is becoming more like his older self , the jj at the early days of TVXQ:cutipie,Shy,Happy pill

He reconnected with hismeslf during his MS and understood that he must live his life since he is getting older. He was asked through the years if he wanted to go back to the past (which mean his days as tvxq included) and he has been consistent in his answers for the last 07 years, he always said that he is happy in the present and doesn't want to go back

In his documentary on the road , he said there that after MS, he want to live his life day by day , he doesn't want the days to end and it scares him that the time passes fast

Each person in their thirties have this thought, since in our twenties we don't care about time ,we believe that the youth is eternal but once you reach thirty, you want time to pass slower and want to enjoy each day

As for yunjae, in 2017, people have said that the two were meeting, jj gave a lot of hints

Also, JJ said he thought about having a 02 years hiatus after his military service (so 2017-2018) to go to study in the UK, he even said he searched for all type of visas and was ready to go but something happened that made him change his mind and stayr.I honestly think yh aked jj to stay and maybe even proposed to him cause they were wearing Cartier wedding rings in 2017

Disclaimer: i don't consider matching items/clothes etc as hints since they are probably gifts from fans so they wore them (except for rings cause that's too personal)

But starting from 2018, everything was different,so maybe something happened? (maybe they had an argument, keep in mind this is the year yh renewed his contract with SM).JJ left korea for japan without hesitation and stayed there for almost two years and almost half a year each year afterwards and he stopped giving hints about yunjae (remember his hints in his pre-military era, he was always obvious) And yh renewed his contrat with SM so i believe they are not together I'm sur about this cause :

-If JJ was with the love of his life,he will share love songs and heart and roses each day.He can't hide his hapiness nor his sadness. -if JJ was still in love with yh like before his MS and can't be with him, you will see the emo jj he was back then but JJ is neither of the two, he is happy but doen't share much romantic posts etc…

And for the future , i don't think they will ever be together They are in their late thirties, completed their MS, they had almost 10 years after MS, if they wanted their relatioship to work out,they would have find a way

Setting Investment Goals

Define Your Objectives: Start by defining your investment objectives. Are you looking for rental income, capital appreciation, or a combination of both? Clear objectives will guide your property search and decision-making process.

Risk Assessment: Assess your risk tolerance level. Higher-risk investments may offer higher returns but come with increased volatility. Lower-risk investments provide more stable returns but may have lower potential gains.

Investment Budget: Define your budget and consider financing options such as home loans and mortgages. Ensure you have sufficient funds for the down payment and additional costs.

For property purchase options, explore Buy Houses in Dubai.

Market Research and Analysis

Market Trends: Stay informed about current market trends, including property prices, demand and supply dynamics, and future developments. Utilize online resources, real estate reports, and market analyses to stay updated.

Location Analysis: Analyze different neighborhoods in Dubai to identify areas with strong growth potential. Consider factors such as infrastructure development, proximity to business hubs, and planned projects.

Rental Yields: Research rental yields in various neighborhoods to identify areas with high rental demand and attractive returns. Properties in central locations or near key amenities tend to offer higher rental yields.

For mortgage services, consider Dubai Property Mortgage.

Choosing the Right Property

Property Type: Decide on the type of property that aligns with your investment goals. Apartments, villas, and townhouses each have their own advantages and considerations. Apartments generally offer higher rental yields, while villas may provide better long-term appreciation.

Developer Reputation: Research the reputation of the property developer. Established developers with a track record of delivering high-quality projects on time are usually a safer choice.

Property Condition: Inspect the property thoroughly to assess its condition. Check for any structural issues, maintenance needs, and potential repairs. Hire a professional inspector if necessary.

Legal and Regulatory Considerations

Title Deed Verification: Ensure the property has a clear title and is free from any legal disputes or encumbrances. The DLD provides title deed verification services to help buyers confirm the property's legal status.

Sales Agreement: Review the sales agreement carefully and seek legal advice if needed. Ensure all terms and conditions are clearly outlined, including the price, payment schedule, and any additional costs.

Residency Visa: Property buyers in Dubai may be eligible for a residency visa. The visa duration and requirements vary depending on the property's value and the buyer's nationality. Consult with the DLD or a legal expert to understand the specific visa requirements and benefits.

Financing Your Investment

Home Loans: Explore various home loan options offered by banks and financial institutions. Compare interest rates, loan terms, and eligibility criteria to find the best deal for your needs.

Mortgage Pre-Approval: Obtain a mortgage pre-approval to determine your budget and streamline the buying process. A pre-approval demonstrates to sellers that you are a serious and qualified buyer.

Down Payment: Ensure you have sufficient funds for the down payment, typically 20-25% of the property's value for expatriates. Consider additional costs such as registration fees, agent commissions, and maintenance charges.

Strictly Professional (Chapter 1)

After living with your family for most of your life, you finally get to move out and find an office job in Devildom. The cost of living is low and the income is high and you make Devildom your new home. But no one is nice to you and ignores you. Except for the white-haired, tall demon that works a few floors above you. You want to get to know him. You even get a crush on him. You want to ask him out but is that a good idea?

Characters: Mammon, Reader, MC

Ship: Reader x Mammon

Genre: Romance

Tags: Office romance, Office AU, Alternate Universe, Slow Burn, Eventual Romance, Reader character is not the MC who went to RAD but is a post RAD MC, Mammon has changed after going to RAD, I do not know if there will be smut in this so I’m tagging it T for now, fluff, gender-neutral reader, race-neutral reader.

A/n:  I'm not sure how many chapters there will be but this is a multi-chapter fic. I thought of this while working at my office job and wished I had a coworker like Mammon to crush on. I think he'd make a good office worker because then he'd find a reason to try to work towards something. Check it out on AO3.

Masterlist

Shit

You’re running late for work. It’s the first official day of work after they finally trained you for the job, and you’re late.

You have 5 minutes before you can leave to catch the train. You allocate that time to throwing on business casual attire that’s not ironed but less wrinkled than your other clothes, throwing on some shoes and shoving your reusable water bottle in your backpack, which you’d fill at work. You thank the heavens that you showered the night before. You step out the door, lock your apartment and walk swiftly to the train station.

You make it on time for the train and sigh with relief when you take a seat. You look through the window at the dark atmosphere of Devildom. You are starting to get used to it and getting used to being one of the few humans who lived and worked in Devildom.

Years ago Lord Diavolo started allowing humans and angels to work and commute to Devildom after the success of the RAD student exchange program. At first, humans were critical of traveling to literal Hell, but there were benefits to living and working there on a visa. You make a lot more money in Devildom compared to the human world and the cost of living is very low. You’re not sure of your long-term goals but for now, you knew you wanted out of your family’s house and to explore the novelty of Devildom until you made enough money to buy a place of your own in the Human World.

Demons are a bit scary to be around but there is a law allowing humans to live safely without fear of being eaten or abused. You hope that most demons would follow that, at least. So far with months of living there, you were fine.

You make it to the nearest station to work, making sure to gather your bag. You do not have time to grab coffee at the local coffee shop, so you will be getting the shitty drip coffee at work.

You trek the fifteen-minute distance to work, trying to avoid breaking a sweat and made it to the door. You are cut off by a demon taller than you but he holds the door open for you. You thank him and were given a, “It ain’t a problem” from him.

It’s a simple act of kindness and most demons let the door slam in your face. This is refreshing. You both make it to the elevator door and you push the call button. You finally glance up at him.

Holy shit. He’s hot. He’s a demon and you know you should not be seeing him in that way, but he was totally your type. He stands taller than you, busily tapping away on his phone to notice you. You observe his silver-white hair contrasting his light brown skin and his ocean-blue eyes with a hint of gold.

Ding.

The elevator’s here. You both step on and press the button for your respective department floors. Silence hangs between the two of you. Should you be talking to him? That would be weird, right? Talking to a complete stranger that does not even work on your floor? You let your thoughts on how to open a conversation with him swim in your mind and before you know it, the elevator stops at your floor. Wordlessly, you exit the elevator and the doors shut, leaving the hot demon in your memories. What would be the chances of seeing him again with how large your company was?

 Your first official day of work is stressful. You work in the customer service department and every client you speak with over the phone is rude or just straight-up nasty. You wonder if it’s because they’re all demons. How can this be worse than when you worked in the retail industry in the Human World?

Nearly every call has to be transferred to your supervisor because they refuse to take the only plausible solution to their problem. Your supervisor becomes vexed with you and yells at you for not doing your job well enough to prevent the call escalations. This makes you spend your lunch break crying in the bathroom. Nothing prepared you for how terrible this day would be.

By the time you clock out, you are completely burnt out. You sit at your desk, head in your hands, taking a breather before your commute home. That’s when you hear the thundering and pelting rain.

Fuck.

You did not bring an umbrella. You did not even know you would need one in Devildom. You sigh. Can this day get any worse?

You get on the elevator, trying to mentally prepare to be drenched on the way to the train station. And there he is. The nice, hot demon from this morning. He has an umbrella in hand. Could this be a second chance?

You want to say something to him this time, but what?

“That rain is coming down real strong, huh?” you say.

Talking about the weather. Real creative.

He chuckles, “Yeah. First storm in a while.”

“I didn’t know that storms like this existed down here in Devildom. At least one of us has an umbrella.”

“Oh, you’re from the Human World? Yeah, someone should’ve warned ya.”

You laugh. “Yeah. But I guess it is what it is.”

The elevator arrives at the ground floor, now. You both step off and make your way to the exit. He stops.

“Here.”

He hands you his umbrella. You are surprised by his kindness.

“Are you… sure?” you ask slowly.

“Yeah! I mean, wouldn’t want ya first Devildom storm to drench ya, right?”

You smile. “Thank you!”

“No problem,” he says with a smile wide enough to show that his canine teeth were a bit longer than what you are used to.

You go to ask him his name but he is already running out the door and into the rain.
