MC's Family Finds Out that They're Actually Dating a Demon the Hard Way
Demon boys more or less going demon on the MC's family. Bound to happen really. This one ain’t so cuddly guys. Special thanks to @anonimo324 for the inspiration for this one. Literally never would have occurred to me if they hadn't have said something and I love the excuse to revisit this idea. 😄
Check out the Masterlist for more!
IMPORTANT: Continuation to "Demon Brothers Meeting the MC's Family" The general setup to this post is in that one.
Lucifer
You know what they say about things that seem too good to be true, right?
Oh, their MC's new boyfriend was smooth, put together, intelligent…
And prideful. So very prideful.
It radiated off of him like no tomorrow, there was just a subtle but constant air of superiority to everything the man did or said. Some may find it attractive but others? It can drive other people right up the wall.
And that's exactly what it did to some members of the MC's family. Even if he seemed educated and well-spoken what made him think he was so special? What made him think he was just so much better than the rest of the world??
They couldn't have known just how angry he'd get when they confronted him about it.
They couldn't have known that they weren’t questioning an arrogant man, but a prideful demon who'd take offense at the mere thought of being anywhere near their level.
It was only when he stood towering before them, demonic wings and horns in full view, did they learn the folly of their actions.
In their hospital beds, bones broken and bodies bruised, they'd rant and rave to anyone who'd listen "He's a demon! A demon! My child/sibling/etc. is dating a demon!!"
The MC disappeared with Lucifer that night, however. Their family writes them off as either dead or kidnapped for torture purposes.
In truth, they returned to the Devildom and Lucifer will never hear the end of how he lost control and attempted to skewer the MC's family members. Surely such a mighty demon should have better control than that... 🙄😑
Mammon
His dumbass let it slip a couple months in, but not without good reason for once.
He had actually been doing pretty well with their family. Sure he wasn't perfect, but he made it clear enough he was looking out for MC and honestly the rest of them as well.
It was small things. Checking up on them sometimes. Making sure the little ones, if any, were safe. Not stealing anything that isn't nailed down (though that's something the MC notices more than their family of course).
It takes a lot. A lot. A LOT to make Mammon break out his demon form. He's better at keeping it in than Lucifer. But showing him something that’s threatening MC is actually a pretty quick why to do it.
The family was out together on a shopping trip, a giddy Mammon included because he knew that meant he could beg ask the MC to buy him stuff.
They really should have checked before they started strolling down the damn crosswalk, but they didn't, and an impatient taxi went hurtling towards them.
Before they could even open their eyes Mammon was already lecturing them about their stupidity, holding them on the other side of the street. Shirtless because his demon form was out and the dumbass forgot to hide it again. Even though they were in public.
He was quick to change back once he noticed, but the damage was done. You can say their family was a little surprised that he straight up grew wings and horns. Only one of them fainted anyway.
To avoid causing further panic, Mammon just legs it away with MC still in his arms, shouting back an quick expletive laced "apology" over his shoulder.
MC smooths things over with their family later by phone. No one can quite wrap their head around the fact that Mammon is a demon, despite what they had seen, but it helps that he did seem to want to protect them.
The MC is not allowed to come home if they want to bring their demon boyfriend too, but their family isn't as worried about them as they could be. Mammon's looking out for them after all.
Leviathan
Okay. They always knew the boy was a little weird but hot damn did that opinion suddenly go from 0 to 60 real quick.
Levi was distant and off-putting at first but in time it became pretty clear that he was just pretty awkward. He wasn't the best with people, but he seemed harmless enough.
It was the MC's idea to bring him along on a family weekend trip to the beach. They honestly couldn't understand why at first. He never seemed to like being with them...
It DID start to click for them a little more when they saw the guy in the water though. They can say it's probably the first time they'd ever seen him so comfortable in his own skin. He even started smiling!
Things were actually going smoothly for them all for once… until other people started taking notice of MC in their swimsuit and one bold gentleman decided to make a cheeky comment on it.
Now, Levi had always stuck close to MC when he was around them. He was practically a second shadow. But it seemed like the second he took notice of those glances he got extra clingy and after that comment.. he started to have a meltdown.
The once bold gentleman was kindly picked up by the neck and hurdled into the ocean like a Frisbee. It would have been hilarious if it weren't so horrifying.
It was about the time that the lad grew a snake tail that the MC's family peaced out off the beach, screaming in terror. MC and Levi left too, mostly because Levi was hellbent on dragging them back to the Devildom in a jealous rage. Obviously THIS is the kind of shit that happens when he leaves his room!
No plans are ever made to go visit again, which he's very happy about. He hated being out in "the real world" anyway.
Satan
Nice as he could be, that temper was bound to catch up to him eventually…
There would be small incidents. A kid cuts him off on the sidewalk and he'd get a little loud and snippy about it. A dog won't stop barking at him and he'd just glare and send it away with a terrified whimper. These things were… worrisome. But not all that demonic.
Then other red flags started showing up. A person on the street would be rude to him and he'd look honestly ready to kill. It'd take MC physically holding him back to keep him in place. Their family was worried about them… Had they'd fallen victim to a possible abuser...?
MC had never listened to what their family had to say, always claiming that they were perfectly safe with their boyfriend. That he had to listen to what they said. But no one really bought that…
Well if there is one way to piss Satan off (and there are many) probably the fastest and most lethal is to doubt his intelligence. Especially if you're only one of those everyday, average humans...
That poor employee at the bookstore had no idea what kind of mistake they made when he told Satan he wasn't looking for Camus but Kafka then refused to double check. Satan doesn't make mistakes about his authors. Ever.
What was originally just supposed to be a relaxing afternoon with the family turned into a night in the station as everyone was questioned about the employee whose head got flattened against the store counter-top. The police weren't entirely convinced a demon did it, but they would look for a blonde.
Said demon had chucked MC over his shoulder and took off before the police arrived to investigate, which as far as they're concerned also kind of amounts to kidnapping.
Satan's now a fugitive in the MC's hometown and on the FBI's Most Wanted List so safe to say that they won't really be visiting anymore.
Asmodeus
Not as surprised as you might think. There were some signs…
Asmo had a bewitching quality to him that went well into the unnatural. He could soothe and win over right about any person or animal to an… uncomfortable degree.
He also kept bringing up and babbling about nonsense products all the time. He always seemed to have the perfect hair treatment or know the best drinks but no one else had ever heard of any of it. What the heck even is Demonus…?
But the real kicker was, well, just how lustful he was. There were horn dogs and then there was this guy. It felt like he could flirt with a potted plant sometimes.
Though he was nice, no one in their house thought Asmo was faithful to MC. And even if he were, his blatant willingness to tease right about anyone he came across was showing them disrespect.
Unfortunately, they had made the poor decision to confront him about it and claim that he didn't actually "love" MC….
There are few things more brutal and less forgiving than an enraged Asmo. Here he was with these humans, people he had been nothing but nice to, and they were doubting his love for MC?? What gave them the right!?
He had his demon form out and his whip already raised to teach these slanderers a lesson! Even if he had grown to like some of them, his anger took over his reason and he had to vent his displeasure NOW.
The MC stepped in before he could crack the whip and made him stop. Their family was terrified but he charmed them into calming down while he and MC talked things out.
They (by which I mean mostly a fuming Asmo) decided that since their family couldn't understand their love for each other, they didn't deserve to see it.
They leave the house calmly and don't come back. MC still sometimes calls their family, but they refuse to leave the Devildom or their beautiful fallen angel, no matter how much their family pleads for them to come home.
Beelzebub
On the one hand, absolutely no one wants to believe it… But it also does make a lot of things make more sense in hindsight.
Like, he was built like a linebacker so it was sort of understandable just how many calories his body seemed to need but there was a limit.
He. Just. Kept. Eating. Never-endingly hungry. Always poking through the kitchen or ordering a mountain of pizzas. More impressively, he never made any leftovers… Ever.
He was such a sweetheart though… They tried to turn a blind eye for a while. Make excuses and rationalize the impossible… but it couldn't last.
It was only supposed to be one nice dinner out. MC had gone over the rules with him ten times before going, "This is a human restaurant and I'm paying, so you HAVE to stop at thirds. Okay? Okay??"
He tried. But the food was sooo good, he just couldn’t stop! And, like clockwork, here comes the manager to cut him off and there goes an angry Beel. Full demon form, tossing tables and wrecking chairs to everyone's absolute horror.
MC had to use the pact to stop him. They could only leave their family with a quick goodbye before they had to book it from the cops on Beel's back as he flew away.
To say there was a mini-meltdown among the members left behind would be an understatement. What the HELL just happened to the sweet young man they had come to know???
The damages were paid for by Lucifer a "mysterious donor" and everything was explained to their family by MC over video call from the Devildom with a very guilty and apologetic Beel in attendance.
When it was clear that the MC wasn't going to leave him or literal Hell despite their protests, they either had to accept it or never hear from them again. Members made their choices, but it's pretty hard to stay mad at someone they've grown to like so much...
He's no longer allowed to go visit them in the human world (which is probably for the best) but shows up on MC's video calls regularly. They still kind of think of him as family even if he could eat them all. He's just such a nice lad, you know?
Belphegor
…. You know, there was always something kind of off about that kid.
It was always hard to place what made Belphie so… different. It could have been the way he never seemed to take any of them seriously or the kind of amazing lack of energy he brought to things.
It also could have been the fact he kept making comments about being a demon, going to "hell," knowing Satan personally, etc. but always played them off as jokes.
Honestly when it finally came out that yes, he was actually a demon, it was almost a relief because it made waaaay more sense than not.
Still fucking terrifying, though.
One of their family members had made the mistake of waking him up from a nap when he and MC were there for a visit
Now. It's not easy to wake Belphie even on a good day but an airhorn to the face is probably not the way to go about it.
When he sent said family member soaring out the window, one-handed, with his horns and tail on full display and a familiar look of murder in his eyes, MC knew the charade was pretty much up...
True to his word, Belphie doesn't let some humans keep MC away from him. He scooped them up and hopped out the broken window before they could really even protest or explain anything.
Which, I mean, how does one even go about smoothing over the fact your demon boyfriend just yeeted one of your family members out of the house?
Their family is kind of able to put two and two together themselves regardless. Which is good because neither Belphie or MC are probably coming back any time soon. If ever. Hope they enjoy postcards...

DEMON & ANGEL MONSTERS AU BATAROU <3
by: Little1993lamb
Yayy it's my birthdayyy~! On September 6th, btw 😚🎉🎉🎊
Let me share Demon&Angel Monster Batarou AU as my treat for you, Temperans-sama!
Summary:
At some point in his life after living together with reformed Human Monster Garou, Badd suddenly underwent a monsterification which allowed him to transform into a new form: a six-winged Seraphim-like Angel Monster.
And today is Badd's birthday, but he's must still going to do his daily duty as a professional S-Class hero along with Garou. What Garou can do to cheer his beloved Angel up on his birthday?
Disclaimer:
The headcanons that have been mentioned in this AU are not 100% mine. Some ideas were created by @the-goddessfighter, @beautifulnightmareus, and @kaincuro .
I only combined and mixed all of them together with my own ideas into one (hopefully) coherent AU headcanon. So, thank you so much guys for giving me brilliant ideas!
Warning:
Nothing was explicit here, so it's safe I assure you. But there are some soft yet passionate kisses between Garou and Badd, and some loving embrace/hugging from this Demon&Angel Monster couple.. 😚💋❤
OOC characterizations of Badd and Garou, I'm pretty sure of it. There are many amazing authors who can nailed their characterization perfectly and rest assured I'm not among them *sobs*
No beta. So many typos, grammar mistakes, very limited vocabulary, and broken English. I'm so sorry for my bad English, it's not my mother language I'm still learning on it, so I apologized if it makes you feel very uncomfortable during reading this writing, forgive meee... 😭🙏🙇
Please enjoy it 😉💕
--------------------------------
Badd was deep in thought, contemplating his life journey together with Garou for the last 4 years.
It's been 4 years since Badd was harboring a fugitive Garou in his home, just a day before his 18th birthday. It's been difficult to play some cat-and-mouse game against Heroes Association, knowing they were still hunted the ex-Hero Hunter, who currently hiding in his own house.
He realized that Garou is actually not a bad guy, they quickly became bestfriends without knowing there's something else was blooming between them.
It's been 3 years and a half since Badd partnered with Garou after he was getting pardoned by Heroes Association and became a hero, climbed up his way from the very bottom of C-Class rank until he could stand beside Badd as a fellow S-Class Hero in no time. Badd was so proud of him.
It's more easier to have Garou as his partner, fighting along side-by-side, sharing their glorious victory together just like old friends, or maybe more than that but nobody have a courage to confess it out, resulting on them hopelessly pining for each other like idiots in love.
It's been 3 years since Garou finally asking him out to be his lover, that he accepted immediately. They started living their love life together while still continuing their heroes works as partners.
Everyone had already know them as inseparable hero couple duo or power couple duo, while their friends just feel deeply relieved that at long last they become an item after too many obvious mutual pining moments for years.
He's grateful to have a very caring boyfriend like Garou, as it turned out Garou is secretly a softie and sweetheart, even though he always denied it immediately. Everytime Garou showering his love to him, Badd feels like his life is complete now.
It's been a year since Badd underwent unexpected monsterification which allowed him to be turned into an Angel Monster, a six-winged Seraphim kind of Angel, complete with a halo above his head and pure white light emanating from his entire body. Total opposite from Garou's own monster form, which looked like a Demon.
It confused the hell out of him because it occured so suddenly, made him freaked out and slightly afraid of people's bad opinion for him if not for Garou's presence that soothing him and always taking care of him during the transformation.
Garou always comes to comfort him whenever they'd just transformed into monsters together, ensuring that he will always be there for him, telling him no matter what Badd has become he’ll still loving him unconditionally.
And it's been half a year that Badd had accepted his new form and learnt how to control his monster transformation, thanks to his lover's teaching and neverending supports. He later learning from Garou that his monster form was born from benevolent intent to protect people he loves, and his kindhearted personality. Unlike common monsters especially the criminal scums, Badd's motive is considered very pure.
It's kind of similar to what happened to Garou when he wanted to become monster: a noble intention to make himself a sacrifice target for humankind, so people would be united together and wont have to hurt eachother anymore, just focusing to defeat him only. Even though the plan was failed, he's glad that now he already found a new purpose.
Garou had said to him back then, as a human monster himself, he understand how it feels to be transformed into something frightening and facing people's harsh misjudgement. But that's before Garou met Badd, who patiently coaxing him, giving his humanity back, and never afraid of his monster form.
Now it's time for Garou to do the same things for his beloved "Angel", he wanted to make sure Badd feels loved despite after getting his new form so suddenly.
During the process of learning with Garou, they also always make time to talking heart-to-heart about their own experiences when they're turning into monster form. That way, Badd slowly understand what hardship Garou had been through after all this time, and how much suffering his lover had felt during difficult time.
It makes Badd became more empathetic towards Garou. They have bonded over the struggle to overcome their disadvantage under the same fate...
--------------------------------
Speaking of the same fate, Garou once asking Badd, could they be considered as Soulmates?
Because their monster form are like a matching pair: Demon and Angel. Polar opposite, hellish versus heavenly, dark versus light, evil versus good, villain versus hero, always depicted as mortal enemies, but somehow looked fit together as dangerous complement pair.
It's not coincidental they also become a couple before Badd's monsterification, made it seems like Garou's Demon finally found its other half: Badd's Angel. Like Yin Yang, they complement each other.
Not to mention, their first time meeting actually had Badd fell from the sky in front of Garou, just in time after Garou wished to meet Badd as soon as possible. Hence whenever someone asking how they met before, he always jokingly says that Badd was a godsend angel who has fallen from heaven and he caught him. Never thought that it would become real once Badd completed his monsterification: Badd is really an Angel!
And not some random Angel form, he got the form of highest rank Angel, the most beautiful and also most powerful, depicted as "fiery angel" who has a duty on performing purification. All of those descriptions suits Badd perfectly.
Garou could say he was too stunned when he saw Badd's majestic new form at first time, he fell in love so much deeper than before. Finding out that your lover has a matching monster theme made you become extremely happy! That's what Garou was feeling at the time. Now they could be Demon-Angel monster pair together!
But of course, Garou's first and main job is to make sure Badd feels comfort enough on his transformation, to teach Badd controling his monster form, and the most important is to give all the support and unconditional love for him.
Slowly but sure, Garou would guide his lover to accepting himself. Just like what Badd had been doing to him in the past, when only Badd the person who brave enough to love and giving so much care for a "ultimate evil monster" until he can love himself for what he is.
Badd has taught Garou that lesson, and now Garou wanted to do the same for him.
With lots of patient and support, now look at them.
Heroes Association has giving Badd permission to use his monster form while fighting, just like what Garou received years ago. Thus, Badd is allowed to transform whenever the situation required him to do so, as long as Garou supervised him.
They also already have people’s approval about their monster form, even people thought they’re really cool monster hero couple. People have a special nickname for both of them, something like “Knights of the Last Judgement”.
Badd also have their family’s full support. Zenko, upon knowing his big brother's new form, never seems afraid for his intimidating figure. Not at all.
She even said Badd becomes even more cooler with that appearance, complimenting nonstop about the beauty of his "angelic" form. Badd is like, courtesy by Zenko, live-sized pretty angel doll.
And those fluffy six wings! Zenko asked Badd if she and Garou can buried themself into it and snuggle it, also if he can take her flying someday after a mission it seems very exciting for her! Badd can't say no to her.
Bang didn't say much but Garou can see how much his master (or father, honestly) is very proud of Badd. He trusted Badd can handle his new form easily, just like the way he tamed Garou's monster side and helped Garou to become a better person.
That way, Bang gave his blessing for both Garou and Badd to use their other form, wishing them for the best.
Those evidences had proved they all understand fully that deep down Badd is still remained as himself, nothing has really changed. Not even his new monstrous appearance can chance that fact...
---------------------------------
As usual, Badd and Garou attended Heroes Association meeting along with another fellow S-Class heroes. Each of them were given a dangerous important mission, because on that day there are so many Dragon-level monsters attacking many cities at the same time.
Heroes Association executives under Sitch's order hoped that S-Class Heroes could aided A-Class heroes who currently battling the monsters and helped on evacuating civilians to the safer place.
Everyone already got each of their own job to manage at different cities, while Badd and Garou were ordered to work in pair to fight a bunch of biggest monsters that heading towards City-S' border. Considering the huge amount and size of those monsters, also after receiving reports on how severe the monsters causing damages on the cities they have destroyed, Heroes Association recommended to send both Garou and Badd together at once, as their combined power could demolished those monsters without wasting much time.
So, the S-Class heroes couple quickly heading towards the mission's location. As soon as they arrived, those monsters were already attacking city border while many B-Class heroes still in the middle of evacuating people, and some A-Class heroes trying to buy time by fighting or distracting the monster.
Understand what they should do, Garou and Badd begin their job. At first, Garou divert the monsters' attention to him and riled them up so they only focused on Garou and Badd only. Then they're doing collaborated multiple attacks with coordinated strikes, cornering the monsters without stopping so they moved towards outside city border.
It must be done like that to minimalize the destruction that both the heroes and the monsters caused in the city, also to reduce the risk of civilians getting involved into dangerous areas during fighting happen.
This new protocol was applied after the Hero Association reformed themself back then when Garou still being fugitive, so much things must be re-evaluated from the inside to make Hero Association better in the future.
Succeeded at beating back and leading the monsters bunch into a remote area outside the city far from any population, now it's time for Garou and Badd finishing the job with their ultimate power. Concentrating on their aim and purpose, both of them begin the monsterification.
As soon as their "Fighting Spirit" activated, their human bodies slowly changed.
Garou's body was engulfed by spinning dark spirals which growing from his left abdomen scars he got from Orochi's attack years ago, made him entirely covered by black hardened skin "armor" of his monster form, all of the nails on his long slender fingers turned into sharp claws, his bright yellow gold irises changed into vivid gold colored irises and his normally white scleras turned into red colored ones, and finally his snow white colored hair turned into black-and-white sharpened spiky hair before it formed into big pointy menacing horns.
Now, Garou was returned again on being the "Demon" Human Monster, bringing back his brutal satanic monstery image. He's ready to hunt again.
Badd's entire body was glowing bright of white blinding light while emanating a dangerous aura, there's velvety ribbon-like white clothes appeared and wrapping his torso, Badd’s jet black hair rapidly turned into pure white colour, along with the halo-like appendage that circling around his head. And the last thing, he's sprouting six pairs of wide feathery wings from his back, all of them were beautiful fair white colored, at first the wings looked soft but as the "Fighting Spirit" building up in his body those feathers changed into razor-sharp needles.
Now, Badd revealed his other self to the enemies what is the meaning of "Avenging Angel", showing them how terrifying his Angel monster side is and how much he's fully capable to put the fear of god into their mind.
Monster Garou smiling maniacally when he saw the monsters' terror-stricken expression on their face when they witnessing Monster Badd's imposing figure. Apparently they never heard of Hero Metal Bat's monsterification rumour before. Poor them, though. This will become the first time and the last time they ever seen Angel Monster Badd in action.
Monster Badd has already in his fighting stance, signaling Monster Garou to be ready for their ultimate finishing moves.
With devilish smirk (Garou) and triumphant smile (Badd), together they shouted:
[It's time for "slaughter party"/"punishment"!!]
----------------------------------
In the end, everything went alright for the heroes, mission was successful just as planned. All of the monster attacks on several cities has been stopped. The Dragon-level monsters themself has already annihilated. Total building destructions and casualties has been minimized. Civillians who had been evacuated before can go back to their home and continuing their daily activities.
Still standing in the middle of monsters remains and carcasses, Monster Garou and Monster Badd were basking in glorious victory of successful mission while calming themself from the rush of pumped up adrenaline in their bodies.
Badd thinks he should be happy that at last they could finished their mission as soon as possible. It's just... Badd feel so tired. Not only physically, because of his monsterifaction had been eating most of his energy, but also emotionally. He's practically drained.
Today was supposed to be his 22th birthday celebration, where he originally wanted to spend his family time with Zenko and Garou only. It's one of few times Badd could be taking a day-off so he would arranging a private small party with Zenko (now also with Garou) in their home without any people trying to disturb them.
But unfortunately, he got a sudden emergency call from Heroes Association, who gave a dangerous mission and it's the very important one because only S-Class heroes could solved it, so Garou and him must go to do their work. Despite with heavy heart...
Badd just couldn't reject the hero obligation, it's always been duty come first then their own life. That's the contract and consequences of become S-Class hero, he already knew it very well. But still... It's feel disheartening.
Decided to take a rest until his body reverted back into human form, Monster Badd gave a cue for Monster Garou that he will moving to more comfortable place to lay on at the area around them. He's flapping his enormous fluffy wings and then takes off from his previous spot, began to searching where he could rest on.
The battle against the monster enemies took a place near a meadow, not too far from where they stand before, which consist of both grass field and flower field.
Monster Badd carefully landing on the flower field, walking towards the center of it, then proceed to flopping down face first in the middle of flower field, made the flower petals bursted in the air from the impact. He's incapable of sprawling on his back because of his huge wings so it'll be better to lie his tired and worn out body down just like this.
He hated to feel let down and disappointed, when he should be stay energized or at least feels cuddly enough to have some "monster-loving" moment with his lover. Badd could sensed Garou has already noticed what he's feeling right now, that's because Badd acted unusually dejected since they have finished their mission. He didn't want to make Garou worried but he can't help it.
It's already bad that he's already depleted of his stamina, now his emotional burden makes it worse. He didn't have energy for flapping his wings to both fly and carrying Garou who still in his monster form back to their home anymore, so he's just take the last resort to stay lying down horizontally on the dirt until his body shifted back again.
Maybe after this he could ask Garou to carry him back instead. For now, Badd just wanna sleep for awhile, surrounded by flower bush.
Where is his boyfriend right now? Shouldn't Garou followed and joined him like usual? Like, suddenly appeared next to him without warning and immediately buried himself on his huge fluffy wings and snuggle them while holding him tightly? Whispering soothing and loving words to calm him down from battle adrenaline, or kissing him tenderly to remind how much Garou love him..
Good. Now he's craving for all of Garou's affections. He needs them, right now. But he didn't have any energy to call him anymore..
Slowly closing his eyes, Badd was waiting for Garou's arrival for any seconds.
---------------------------------
It hurts Garou's heart terribly to see his lover in a miserable mood. He can't watch him moping in sadness like this, especially on his birthday date. Of course they still could celebrate his birthday party later on the day, as it's still much time left.
But Garou understand Badd's feeling, that deep down he felt disappointed his anticipated plan was ruined by this emergency mission.
No matter how Badd trying to hide or deny it, Garou just. Know.
Afterall, they have been bonded since long time ago, right? That their heart practically become one: they would know what they are thinking or feeling without saying any word.. or maybe they just sharing one functional braincell?
It's time for Garou to cheer Badd up! Maybe he could find something that would lifted Badd's mood. He observed their location's surrounding and environment, so far he's only seeing flower field with various flower plants on it. All of them kinda looked pretty--
Oh, Garou got an idea! Even though it's just a simple thing, Garou was sure Badd would appreaciate it...
-----------------------------
In half-sleeping state, Monster Badd could hear Garou's voice from afar, or rather his monster form's voice, there's a bit different. Followed by the sounds of both his footsteps and soft rustle of grass leaves. Until it stopped just right a few meters from where Monster Badd was sleeping.
He called Monster Badd gently so he would wake up and sit for awhile. But he also asked him to close his eyes until he tell him otherwise. Monster Badd didn't understand what Monster Garou was planning but he complied to his requests.
Slowly but surely, Monster Badd lifted his worn out body from the ground, brushing the dirt off from his velvety clothes, enormous wings also starts flapping to shake off any leftover dust or dirt on his body.
Once Monster Badd was awake and changed his position into a sitting position, he was told by Monster Garou that he can open his eyes now. Right at the moment, Monster Badd could feel something was poured on his body from above.
Curiously, he opened his eyes and looked around.
He was surprised by Monster Garou hovering over him, while sprinkling, or more like throwing, a lots of tiny colourful flower petals on Monster Badd's hair and his pretty wings. Soon enough, Monster Badd's entire figure was decorated by those pretty flower petals.
Still confused about what had just happened, Monster Badd found Monster Garou already standing very close, just right before him, slowly and gently tilted his chin up, and kissed him softly yet passionately. It made him letting out a whimper followed by soft moans.
He really loves it whenever Monster Garou kissing him, it feels like he consumed all the fire that "the Demon" has been offering to him from the kisses. He was in bliss.
When Monster Garou released their kiss, he cupped and caressing Monster Badd's soft cheeks tenderly, gaze deeply into his eyes and whispering,
"Happy Birthday, my beloved Angel. May happiness will always given to you",
with a raspy voice, yet in very affectionate tone, before giving a lingering kiss on Monster Badd's forehead.
Monster Badd was strucked by Monster Garou's sweet gesture. He didn't expected that his lover would gives him a thoughful surprise present like this. Yes, it was a simple thing but it's really brings him a lots of joy.
And the huge amount of love he was receiving from Garou... He feels like his heart would bursting from the happiness.
Garou really care for him, and that single truth was enough to make Badd back to his happy self.
Then, the next thing happened truly made Monster Garou left astonished for a hot minute:
Monster Badd was giving Monster Garou his sweetest smile and laugh in his majestic angelic form. Complete with bright light that emanating from Monster Badd's figure whenever he's in happy mood or in fighting mood. And those various tiny colourful flower petals sprinkles on his flawless body, on his silky smooth pure white Angel hair, and his soft feathered wings, somehow made him even more beautiful than before..
For him, it was the most gorgeous thing Garou ever seen in his life. He was too stunned to move or even blinking his eyes just from witnessing majestic angelic Badd's precious smile.
And his laugh was the most mellifluous voice he ever heard, it sounds like a heavenly music in his ears.
Is this how an angel sings in heaven? He was lucky enough to have one performing it to him right now.
Watching his lover finally back to being happy again today, in the most beautiful monster form that Garou have ever seen, on this beautiful and serene flowery scenery, it made Garou's heart fluttering.
He wants to pampering Badd more and spoiled him rotten after they get back to their home.
Make his lover's birthday feel special today! Heroes Association's mission report be damned. Those can go to hell, Badd's well-being is the top priority right now.
Monster Garou noticed that Monster Badd still smiling softly at him, who suddenly opened his arms wide, enthusiastically asking Monster Garou for some loving hugs. The Angel wanted to hold his Demon as tight as possible, as he also wanted to convey how grateful he is for the heartwarming gift he received before.
With a grin full of fondness, he picked Monster Badd up and held him in his strong arms, kissing his silky soft white hair that full of tiny flower petals. While Monster Badd encircled his arms around Monster Garou's neck, and his huge white fluffy wings covered them both so they would be as close as possible in an intimate embrace.
Neither of them had realized that some reporters and photographers were approaching while taking videos or pictures of them from afar..
And neither of them seems to care for that, all that matters are the warm embrace, sweet nothings words and love vows they whispered softly to each other, and the love they have been sharing during their intimate moment together...
-------------------------------
Hours later, Badd and Garou, who are already back in their human form, were seen walking side-by-side together on their way back home in City-S. Despite still being tired as hell, in tattered clothes, and also looked a bit bloodied with some monster blood smeared on them, too. But they both seems happy, nonetheless.
They just don't care for people around them, who are either admiring their heroic deeds or giving weird look on their battle-ragged appearance. Both only have focus on eachother, enjoying quality time by chatting casually while handholding together, re-planning for Badd's small birthday party with Zenko once they get back to home, or just sharing sneaky kisses on the cheek during walking.
Just when they're taking a stroll in the middle of S-City downtown, something happened unexpectedly. On a big screen in the S-City downtown, there's a birthday celebration video broadcast for Badd. It consist of 3 main video contents:
Firstly, a beautiful angelic Monster Badd smiling sweetly with many tiny and pretty colourful flower petals decorating his form and his white fluffy six-wings, surrounded by flower field and green scenery, his expression looked so majestic and heavenly, truly like a godsend Angel because he rarely showing this special kind of softest smile ever,
Secondly, a scene of Monster Garou hugged Monster Badd very tenderly, full of affection, revealing the softer side of both Garou and Badd, also showing pure sweet intimacy, emotional support, and huge amount of unconditional love that have been shared between the S-Class monster heroes,
Lastly, a huge congratulatory message "Happy Birthday, S-Class Hero Metal Bat!", followed by the compilation of many smaller congratulatory messages from fellow heroes or important figures.
At the end of video broadcast, people around them clapping simultanously together while apparently Garou, being the best boyfriend ever, start to sing "Happy Birthday song" for Badd in the midst of clapping. Hence everyone can't help but also followed his lead to participate in singing the song along with Garou.
Those spontaneous and voluntary actions quickly brought Badd to tears, he's very touched by the fact everyone around him actually cared enough for him, despite he didn't ask anything from them. He feels so loved right now.
Not to mention, once again Garou doing something wonderful to him, successfully giving a lots of joyness just to make Badd's spirit lifted again. He couldn't think if he can pay all of Garou's kindness he did today, because he knows Garou would says, "No, just let me pamper you in YOUR SPECIAL DAY. Please don't fight me on this I beg you".
At the end of Birthday song choir, everyone cheered on him and giving a loud standing applause. Badd just flopped down sitting on the ground, he's crying so hard from the sheer happiness. Garou immediately come to his side consoling him, wiping his tears off. Once Badd stopped crying, Garou congratulate Badd again before kissing his tears streaked cheek, which causing even more louder applause.
Applause sounds then also added with many other voices, such as cheering, cat calling, hollering, praises, congratulatory, complain for their PDA, and many more noises. Seeing all being very caring to them, Badd wanted to cry happily again. And then he’s really bawling in the middle of City-S main street, in the arms of his very confused dorky boyfriend, in the center of equally confused people’s attention.
After a lot consoling by Garou to make Badd calmed himself again, both of them thanking all the people for their kindness. Of course it followed by everyone thanking them instead, for being very good heroes who always protected people.
Just when Badd and Garou start to continue their walking, Badd's phone suddenly ringing. It was a call from Zenko. She questioned where are they right now and why did they still haven't at home at this hours. They feel so bad for making Zenko got worried alone in their home.
But of course Zenko didn't forget to congratulate his dear big brother for his 22th birthday, wishing for all the happiness and prosperities for Badd. She then ended her call by saying,
"I love you, Badd-niichan! Please go home ASAP with Garou-niichan I just finished baking your birthday cake we can eat it together. Hurry up before Tama stepping on your birthday cake frosting again like 2 years ago!".
With that, Badd urged Garou to quickened their steps, basically asking Garou to have impromptu race competition against him. Seems like got an energy boost from Fighting Spirit, Badd immediately start running towards their home leaving his boyfriend behind. Garou just smiling amusedly before joined running to catch up to his lover in a race.
Badd was very grateful for everything that happened to him today. This is his BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!
-THE END-
-------------------------------
EPILOGUE
The next day, so many weekly heroes magazines or fashion magazines begin to publishing Monster Badd's beautiful pictures. From the photo collections, pin-ups, posters, magazine covers, or even as aesthetic photographs using his famous Birthday documentation that has been made from yesterday. The one with flower petals is the most favorite.
Those are really loved by people, all of them. It also indirectly helped raising Badd's popularity as an S-Class hero among civillians and fellow heroes. Badd was so happy, because it seems everyone was accepting his monsterous (or angelic) form completely by now. No more ill-judgement towards him, only enthusiastic acceptance.
Of course Garou enjoyed this trends as well. He proceed to hoard all of newest "Angel Monster" Metal Bat merchandises and premium edition of Monster Badd photo collections in their bedroom. Badd wasn't sure if he should feels flattered, happy, proud, exasperated, flustered, or embarrassed.
While Badd still blushing hard by Garou's antics, Garou hugged Badd from behind, keeping his adorable lover in his strong arms. He whispered,
"Don't worry babe, I just wanted to support you. Beside, I already got the best one that nobody else have: YOU. You're my beloved Angel... and I'm so lucky to have you in my life. Thank you Badd, for being the most beautiful monster, most amazing Angel for my own Demon".
Badd smiled happily in respond, he turned his head a bit to catch Garou's lips in a heartful kiss.
"You're welcome, Demon-boy", he answered as Garou tightening their loving embrace.
-TRUE HAPPY END-
😈💙❤😇🌸🌸🎂🎁🎉🎊
Notes:
If there’s anyone who still haven’t know about the origin of this AU, these are the illustrations for Angel Monster Badd, drawn by @the-goddessfighter, which are used for the story (he looks so beautiful in these drawings, tysm Temperans-sama! 💖):
•https://the-goddessfighter.tumblr.com/post/625111244297453568/ (Badd's monster form concept art)
•https://the-goddessfighter.tumblr.com/post/626035692265488384/ (NSFW! with Demon Monster Garou)
So, this idea was created when I was thinking about,
"What if Angel Monster Badd smiling sweetly for Demon Monster Garou with tiny flower petals decorating his hair, his body and his six-wings while surrounded by colourful flower field?".
I really wanted to see him like that, the imagery seems beautiful in my imagination. So soft, so pretty, so majestic...
I know Badd is already a very beautiful man, but his Seraphim-like monster form, especially his angelic feature combined with tiny flowery decoration... While giving his special smile for his lover..
I'M MELTING FROM THE SWEETNESS 😳💕💖😇🌸🌺🌼🌷🌹
If there's someone willing to make an illustration for this particular image, or just any scene from this story, I will be forever grateful for that! 😳😍👍💖✨
Pleaaseee make this happen aaaa-- 😣💦😭🙏💝
I hope you like it, Temperans-sama! Just think of it as my birthday cake treat for you, please enjoy it 😉🎂🍰💝
Also, this is my grateful gift after you gave me the MAJESTIC Monster Demon&Angel Batarou (the HOLY F*CK™ art 😋👍😈👉👌💦🔥💕💖😇) on last month, thank you so muuuch I LOVE IT! 😘💋❤💜💙💖💝💐
On the other hand, although my writing skill is very far from being decent or enjoyable (actually I don't have that talent whatsoever I'm just trying to scribble down a bunch of random headcanons, lol), I still want to share happiness by sharing it to everyone in the fandom!
Because this year I can celebrate my birthday with Batarou fandom. I love you guys! 😚💕
Thank you so much for accepting me in the fandom *bows deeply* 😭🙏🙇💕💖
Temperans_ First: this is beautiful by any measure, second: this must be the most passive-aggressive media stalking ever. They were lucky they were just doing sweet things. And if the temperature rises, doing what we already know in the field of flowers???? OMG what would they have put on the screens? I want to think that they "respectfully" would have left them alone. Anyway, this gave me a lot of encouragement to start classes again tomorrow. I am so grateful that you took a whole month to prepare for this. You are a valuable member of the fondom and no one can deny it.

26 But With Prinxiety
Genre: honestly? only god knows but i’d say kinda fluffy and a little angst
Word Count: 863
Prompt: “I’m stuck! Help me!”
—–
Virgil couldn’t decide whether to laugh or walk away. It wasn’t too long ago that he’d been in his room, listening to MCR—they were making a come back and he felt utterly nostalgic. Not that he had ever really stopped. MCR was banger regardless of the year.
That was what he was thinking, when the music suddenly stopped. At first, he thought that Spotify was just buffering. It wouldn’t be the first time and school Wi-Fi was god awful. But when his pocket started vibrating, he knew someone was calling. The was a moment, a brief moment but a moment all the less, where he was debating whether to let it ring out. He’d just come back from a midterm that he was sure he failed. It doesn’t matter that Logan was the one who helped him study for it, the sciences flew right over his head. He just wanted to relax while he was still ignorant of his terrible grade.
However, it could have been Patton calling and there was no way he wanted to miss that call. Patton had his practical culinary test today and could take any leftovers with him. Not to put too fine a point on it, but Virgil was, as the Youths would say, poor.
With that thought in mind, he pulled out his phone, not to see his friend Patton’s face happily beaming at him, but his dork of a boyfriend making a kissy face at him. Knowing Roman would pitch a fit if Virgil ignored him, he picked up.
“I told you I don’t want anything from Starbucks.”
“I wish so much I was at a Starbucks right now.” Virgil paused, trying to catch the cadence of Roman’s voice as he continued. “But I have a very big problem right now.” Roman continued as Virgil let out a deep sigh. “Okay, I know, but listen. Listen, babe. You know that mine tunnel like a mile into the woods?”
“Of course, I do. You dragged me there like yesterday.”
“Okay, well—and promise not to get mad?”
“I am far too tired to be mad.”
“Yeah, but, like, promise.”
Virgil sighed, knowing exactly where this was going, but still trying not to be disappointed. “I promise.”
“Right, well, I was exploring around the mine, like adventurers do, and I might have maybe tripped and fell in and can’t get out.”
Silence fell between them as Virgil rubbed his temples, debating whether he should just go back to his music. This wasn’t the first time Roman had called him saying he needed help with whatever nonsense he had gotten himself into.
“I’m on my way. Please stay in one place so I don’t have to look for you.”
“Thank you so much no promises love you bye.” Roman hung up and Virgil spent several minutes wondering why he had fallen for him. Virgil couldn’t actually remember when or why he loved Roman the way he did. If he had to guess, it was a bunch of little things that added up over the years. How he had always protected his friends, how he was viciously loyal, and how he worked to make up for his mistakes.
All of these reasons were going through his head as he looked down at his boyfriend, covered in soot and favoring his left foot, so he wouldn’t just walk away.
Roman smiled nervously, trying, Virgil guess, to read his facial expression. “Hey, babe. How’s it going?”
Virgil squatted down, shifting the rope on his shoulder. “A normal college student wouldn’t have rope on hand,” Virgil grumbled, throwing down one end. “A normal college student wouldn’t get stuck in an abandoned mine shaft.” He walked away, the roped trailing behind as he went to a nearby tree to tie it off. “A normal college student would stay away from the creepy woods.”
With a grunt, Virgil tugged the rope to make sure it was secure enough before walking back to the edge of the drop and tossing down a pair of gloves. More than Virgil was willing to admit to the average person, Roman was good at climbing rope, not because he was athletic (though he was), but because he often got stuck in places he couldn’t climb out of alone.
He couldn’t remember how many times Roman had texted him at two in the morning (“Help me! I’m stuck!”) in high school so he could rally Patton and Logan to help get him out of whatever mess he’d gotten himself into.
Roman’s hand appeared, flailing for Virgil to grab onto and after a moment, he did. And then it all went sideways. The edge of the drop started to shake and crumble, faster and either of them could realize. Virgil panicked, trying to haul up Roman faster than he could climb, slipping on the shifting earth. They both pitched forward, tumbling into the dark earth, dirt and soil falling in after.
The last thing Virgil saw was Roman’s dirt smeared face as he clutched Virgil close to his chest, eyes closed and head tucked down, protecting Virgil from the fall.
And then there was darkness.
And then there was nothing.

ok i don't have time to flesh this out rn but i HAVE been thinking a lot abt blupjeans lately, so for ur consideration:
barry bluejeans is an angel who falls from the sky.
why this??? not sure. probably he disrespected the natural order of life and death as barry bluejeans is wont to do.
anyways he's Fallen now, he's on earth for the first time in centuries, and probably also he's been hunted down by another angel??? except this angel has not Fallen. this angel is kravitz, and its his job to track down runaways and bring them to Justice. he's very good at his job, even though he’s kind of a weirdo with a thing for fake accents and human casinos.
so he’s hunting barry down, and one day he gets real close to actually catching him, except at the last minute barry gets saved!!! he gets saved... by lup
the rest of this story is all about lup harboring a fugitive from heaven and also they fall in love. also taako probably meets kravitz at some point and they fall in love too, except it's Forbidden Romance b/c kravitz is trying to kill his sister's new boyfriend. very dramatic. the end

eightysixed:
She tells a story and nothing prepares him for it. His worst fears, things he had guessed in his mind but didn’t want confirmed aloud, here they were now. Sasha telling him how there had been a Tyson before Tyson, how somebody had liked her enough to want to get her out. That didn’t surprise him, she was an angel and a half, fallen into this horrible trap of a life that she didn’t belong to. A part of him upset even that the guy never succeeded, even if that meant he’d never have met her, that she’d probably be living somewhere normal now, far away from all this. But if it meant she’d have been living a decent life sooner? He’d have wanted that for her. He loves her that much.
But that’s not where the story goes. It takes a turn for the worse, once again confirming every horrible thought he’s had and he can’t hold it in anymore. A single tear rolls and he wipes it off with the back of his hand quick as anything. Doesn’t want her to see, doesn’t want to face this story but here it is, whether he wants it or not. A brief sliver of it she’s dared to share with him and god knows how many more instances of that there have been. The realization that underneath all the laughter and jokes and happy moments they’d shared, lies this.
He knows he’s supposed to be compassionate here, that the girl he loves is telling him as much as Emma had told him. He’d gotten the full story about Tomo this year. That one had been a lot to process too. But Emma was so clearly traumatized by it all, and Sasha…Sasha brushed these things off, swept them under the carpet like they weren’t a part of her, like she didn’t want him to see. But he saw. When he looks at her this time, small as a mouse on her end of the couch, he sees her for what she really is. Beyond what she pretended to always be, which was fine. She was not fine. None of this was fine. He’d offered kind words to Emma, reassurance, anger at her ex-boyfriend, all the appropriate responses that someone would give to a person admitting they were a rape victim. And here was the girl who for all intents and purposes was essentially his girlfriend, the one girl he thought of nonstop, and he couldn’t offer her a single thing. Not a single word of compassion. He disappointed himself before anybody else.
He won’t tell her about running into Frank yesterday. That would just add more salt to the wound.
There’s children playing outside, a scream that filters in through the window that he ignores. “So that’s just it huh? You’re indebted to this fucksack for life, there’s no way out and that’s that?” He doesn’t realize when he’d pulled out his keys with the swiss army knife attached, flipping and unflipping the knife part, hand trembling just a little. “Why didn’t you tell me all this before? Why lie and say you could get out?” Then again, he probably ignored the imperative word she had used back then. Try.
God, it was so hard to speak, and he was saying all the wrong things now. “I know I said what I said back then…but I didn’t think it’d have to come down to murder or fleeing town like a fucking fugitive.” He really did know guys, guys who’d back him on this, but after all was said and done, whatever bloody outcome happened there — prison or no prison term, would it be worth it? Would it be worth going through blood and hell just to end up with a relationship on the other end of it, a girlfriend? Only to end up like Elaine and Benjamin on the back of that bus, no clue where they were going, not sure what they were doing, and deep down wondering if they’d made horrible, terrible mistakes of their lives?
Marlon had said as much. And now he realized Marlon had been right all along, as much as he hated that. Now he’s just angry, and bitter, poison working through his veins, spreading to every part of him. He sniffles, wipes a hand under his nose. “Yeah, you right. I’m out.” There was nothing else to do, clearly. Frank won. He mumbles the next under his breath, barely audible but still there, swallowing down all the bile in his throat. “Wish I’d never moved to this fucking dump.”
Why did she share this again? What kind of parting gift is this, making this shitty storytime of herself, degraded and second-hand heartbroken his last memory of her before he leaves to go find the next one, the real one, his equal? Sasha feels her frame tremble as a full-body shake settles in, wondering what the fuck was the point. But there was one. This is a warning, a very belated one that she thought she’d never have to resort to, because at the end of the day Tyson doesn’t even come to Frank’s, because she’s getting out, because, because because. But hey, turns out she needed it, something to make sure he’s disgusted enough to leave and never look back.
So that’s just it huh? You’re indebted to this fucksack for life, there’s no way out and that’s that? Why didn’t you tell me all this before? Why lie and say you could get out? Sasha winces again, rubbing up and down her arm with a shaky hand. “I don’t know. Guess I loved him enough to forgive him, and if I did it didn’t matter. And then when I loved you I didn’t want you to think of me this way. And when I realized you loved me too I — “ Her voice shakes too, trembles around a sob she’s not swallowing back fast enough and she takes a moment to will it out of her system. She can’t cry. She did in May and he stayed.
“I said I’d try, Tyson. I know people who’ve left. I’ve met them and shit. And yeah, it was expensive or dangerous or took a while, but they did, so I thought maybe I could — maybe there was a way out for me too. So I saved up, it’s under my mattress. Stole from Frank himself, not enough to notice, but I did and Christina said she’ll lend me. She’s been going to that gas station over in Pasadena, said I was welcome to come work extra, she’s made this deal with the owner. But I’d either have to tell you that I’d be doing even more of this or lie to you and I couldn’t do either.” She pauses and for how heavy everything feels she has to take a moment and marvel at how stupid that plan sounds when said out loud. Her seventeen year-old self would have done better and she was a high school dropout left high and dry on a highway.
She hasn’t dared look at him so far, knowing his expression will burn itself into her mind but she can’t help a double take at his next words. “You didn’t? When you said that, about your friends in Crenshaw, what was the big idea there then?” Sasha lets herself fall back against the couch, letting out a sigh. “I did. Think it might. And I’d sooner — you don’t deserve that. Not for me. Not for anyone else.” Is there a point in talking about all this? He’s right, she’s in it for life and that’s that.
She’s in it for life. And that’s that.
She knew this, didn’t she? It’s always been this way. She knew and was ok with it, and then she decided she wasn’t anymore but that she could get out. She never had to live in a world where she’s going to die one of Frank’s girls and be not-okay with it. There’s bile rising in her throat again. “I’m sorry. For wasting so much of your time, for — for everything.” It’s true, every last word of it. If she could shave off a year of her life to pass on to him she would. If she could she’d give him all the years left, now that she can tell what’s going to happen and how ill-equipped she is for it. She lets out a long exhale, realizing how long this day is going to be after Tyson walks out of her life. She has to throw up. And get Christina’s other dealer’s number. And get ready for work. And how many more identical days will come. She can’t stop shaking, on god she can’t.

'Need More Road' Book Review By Ron Fortier
New Post has been published on http://esonetwork.com/2017/05/26/need-road-book-review-ron-fortier/
'Need More Road' Book Review By Ron Fortier
NEED MORE ROAD By Stephen Jared Soltice Publishin 202 pages
Stephen Jared is one of the more promising voices in New Pulp fiction working today and his past titles have shown a real flare for both heroic adventure and tightly plotted noir crime thrilles. Whereas with “Need More Road,” he sets out on a much more ambitions journey to create a poignant character study of a lonely man living in quiet desperation. Sadly, even his talent can’t save the book’s rambling second half. The tale is set in the post World War II years. Eddie Howard is a fifty year old bank clerk living the sleep desert town of Barstow, California. He lives alone in his dead parents’ house where he was raised and the only real joy he has are his trips to the small movie house. Eddie loves the movies and sees each new release multiple times. They are his ticket out of the mundane routine of his boorish life.
Then one day a beautiful young woman walks into the bank and from that moment on Eddie’s world is sent spiraling out of control. A Marilyn Monroe clone, Mary Rose has come to Barstow to set up an account for her father, Mr.McCoy, who is still living back in Los Angeles. Eddie befriends her and they soon become close. He can’t believe his good fortune. When her supposed father eventually arrives in town, the reader is miles ahead of this familiar noir plotline. The man calling himself Mary Rose’s father is actually her criminal boyfriend and they are in town to rob the bank. By now Eddie has fallen totally under the blonde femme fatale’s charms.
All this is classic noir and Jared does a great job moving the story along carefully with no sense of urgency. It is this deliberate pacing that builds the tension and as poor Eddie falls deeper and deeper into the couple’s web of lies, it is impossible to put the book down. The heist is carried out and then the characters begin their escape with the stolen cash.
Even when Eddie manages to outwit McCoy and his safecracking buddy, and escape their clutches with Mary Rose in tow, the suspense rolls along at breakneck speed taking the fugitives on a twisting, rambling road. All the while their relationship seems to flounder and have no clear purpose; it’s as if despite everything that has happened, Eddie and Mary Rose are doomed to remain strangers.
The hallmark of noir fiction is a climatic finale that is most often tragic. Whereas Jared’s last third of “Need More Road” doesn’t go anywhere. It just stops. The book has no solid ending to justify its powerful first half. At the end we are left with an exercise in good writing. In this genre that is just not enough.

There was very little Roman wouldn’t do for his friends.
For Patton he had come to his house in the middle of the night to kill the spider he’d bravely managed to quarantine to the bathroom.
For Logan, he’d stayed up all night helping the nerd study for a test they all knew he would ace.
On the flip side of the coin, he never asked anything of them. He didn’t feel like he need to. He was the strong one. The one who always rescued the others when they were peril and emerged victorious from every struggle he’d encountered.
Almost every struggle.
Nights like tonight had always made him rethink whether he was as brave as he thought. His unwavering confidence was a shield against thoughts like the ones running through his head, but even the best shields would be warn away after so many battles.
He sat in the oversized black jacket his boyfriend had loved watching the movie he adored, trying with everything to remember the way his voice sounded without looking at old videos. He found himself thinking back to the first time they had met and the first time he had put on the jacket.
Normally he hated slipping into the past, it swallowed him so completely, he didn’t know what was going on in the world around him, but right now he needed this. He needed more than what life had given him.
Roman was exhausted. He’d stayed up all night with Logan, the damn calculator watch, going over note card after note card until he knew what Roman was going to say just by how his lips formed the words.
The bags under his eyes didn’t look princely at all and it was bothering him. If only he could get some shut eyes, even for a few minutes.
“Roman!” He turned as his energetic friend bounced toward him, a jacket on one arm and a person he’d never seen before on the other. “Look! I’ve made a new friend!”
“Really?” Roman eyed the jacket. It looked extremely comfortable. Maybe even comfortable enough for him to sleep through first hour. “I need that jacket. For, like, all day.”
“Oh, well, it’s—”
“Thanks.” Roman snatched it from Patton, barely even looking at the person he had brought in. Normally Roman liked to size up anyone who had the audacity to try and befriend his friends. Not that Logan or Patton would ever love anyone more than they loved him, but that wasn’t the point. This time, though, he was too tired for that.
The entire, it didn’t take more than laying his head down for him to fall asleep in the jacket. It was soft, just oversized enough to feel comfortable, and it smelled amazing.
By the end of the day, he felt more refreshed than he’d had in a while. He sat on the side of the wall, waiting for the other two to finally get outside, dozing in and out at the wind blew softly.
“Rise and shine, sweet thing.”
He jerked awake, leaning away from whoever decided to say that was a good idea. His eyes focused on a person with the most beautiful brown eyes. Though the sun was shining directly in his eyes, he didn’t blink, letting the light make his eyes look ethereal. The person smirked and leaned away.
“I’d like to have my jacket back, please.”
“This is yours?”
“I don’t know whose jacket you thought it was, but yes.”
Roman wanted to get mad—how dare he talk to him that way?—but he couldn’t find it in him. He was too flustered by how beautiful he was.
“Go on a date with me.” The words fell out of Roman’s mouth before he could stop them.
The person raised his eyebrows. “You don’t even know my name.”
“And you don’t know mine, but we could know each other’s if you said yes.”
The person blushed to his ears. “I’m Virgil.”
“Roman.” He smiled. Virgil was the cutest person he’d ever met outside of the mirror. “So when are you free?”
The tears rolled down his cheeks as he settled back into the present. That had been before the accident. Before his parents had pushed him too far. Before Roman had fallen head over heels for him and before either of them knew what it meant to love another person so wholly.
He let out the sobs that had been hiding his heart from the moment they’d heard the news. His chest, his stomach, his throat ached with pain that almost made him wish he’d never met Virgil. Almost wish he’d fallen in love with someone else.
Almost.
Almost wasn’t enough.
