The Demon's Angelic Love

"He mentioned my name?" Elias looked surprised when he heard the information from Azren.

The surprised look on the man's face was apparent, and Azren also could see the hint of happiness on the face.

However, Azren didn't comment and just nodded his head. "He mentioned your name in his dream when he was sleeping in the car some time ago," he explained further.

Back then he was also surprised when he heard Michy utter the unfamiliar name in his sleep. Not to mention how the idol kept frowning in his sleep.

Michy looked uncomfortable in his sleep, and Azren was curious about the person who caused the discomfort even in the idol's sleep.

He didn't expect that he would meet the owner of the name so soon. That person even sat opposite to him right now.

"I didn't expect that Michy would still remember me," Elias spoke again. Golden eyes on the table, lips formed a small smile.

"If he didn't remember you, he wouldn't treat you so coldly," Azren replied. "The moment I saw how the two of you looked at each other, I know that you have a special relationship with him."

Elias finally brought his eyes to look at Azren again, and he chuckled heartily. "You sounded bitter, Azren," he commented.

Azren snorted, but his face reddened. He didn't even realize that he sounded bitter just now.

"Someone who mentioned someone else's name in his sleep must be someone who is thinking about that person a lot, right? I won't force you to tell me what's your relationship with Michy, but if you want to share it with me, then I'll gladly listen to it," the demon chose to ignore Elias' tease as he continued interrogating the other man.

Even if he was curious, Azren didn't want to force Elias. Even if he knew that Elias was hiding something from him, he didn't intend to force that man.

He was a demon, but he didn't like it when he had to force someone to do something they didn't want to do.

Elias was indeed mysterious, but he wanted to test the man now. He wanted to see what would the man do now.

"I indeed had a special relationship with Michy," Elias finally replied, and Azren focused his attention on the word "had" mentioned by the man.

The man used "had" to describe his relationship with the young idol, so Azren concluded that their relationship had ended now.

He unconsciously heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't know why, but he felt glad upon hearing the man's statement.

'But wait. Elias confirmed that he had a special relationship with Michy, so it means Michy is gay for real, right? So, what's the point of him starting a relationship with a girl now? He will only hurt himself and the girl,' Azren wondered in his heart when he noticed something from Elias' words.

Perhaps he forgot that aside from the terms "straight" and "gay," there were also the terms "bisexual." Azren didn't notice the possibility of Michy being bisexual instead of gay.

The demon was clueless about that, and he couldn't stop himself from worrying about the young idol.

However, he decided to brush off his worries as he focused on Elias once again. "Your relationship with Michy ended in a bad way, right?"

Even though he was still shocked by the fact that Michy indeed liked men, he still managed to bring himself to ask the question.

All of a sudden, Elias' face turned gloomy. "You can tell about it?" He asked the other man without looking at the man.

"I just made a random guess," Azren replied while shrugging nonchalantly. "Michy often scolded me, and sometimes he would say something mean about my blonde hair. At first, I thought he hated my blonde hair, but I could sense something aside from that. And when finally I got a chance to meet you, I know that the blonde he hates is you."

Talking about Michy behind the boy's back was not a good thing, but he ended up revealing everything in front of Elias.

The case related to the blonde hair had bothered him, and if he couldn't ask Michy about that, then maybe he could get an answer from Elias instead.

Meanwhile, Azren just gave him a rather long explanation, and Elias smiled bitterly at the man, "Michy used to like my blonde hair so much in the past, but now he hates it because of my mistake."

"..." Azren couldn't even reply to Elias' words.

He didn't understand why the man suddenly reminisced his past with Michy.

Hearing how the man talking about how Michy admired the blonde hair in the past, caused a little discomfort in his heart.

"You admitted that it's your mistake, so you can't blame him for hating you," Azren replied again even if he didn't know what kind of mistake was made by Elias in the past.

All of a sudden, Elias chuckled. "I didn't blame Michy," he denied. "It's you who's overprotective of Michy, Azren. Just like how you wanted to disturb Michy's date with the girl earlier."

"..." Again, Azren wasn't able to find a reply to Elias' statement.

He was indeed overprotective of the silver-haired idol, but he didn't mean to disturb the idol's date. At least, that was how he told himself.

Getting no response from the green-eyed man, Elias smiled softly, "It's interesting because someone who managed to replace my position in his life has blonde hair as well."

Elias stopped teasing Azren, but what he had just said confused the latter.

"Pardon?" Azren immediately asked with a frown. "I've told you that I'm just Michy's assistant, right? You shouldn't misunderstand our relationship."

This time, Elias' expression turned a little brighter, probably because he could forget the pain in his heart by teasing the other man. "I think you better ask your heart more, Azren. If you keep denying your feeling, someone probably would steal Michy from you."

Azren's heart skipped a beat upon hearing Elias' words. He didn't know why his heart suddenly acted uncontrollably like that, but he knew that he felt uncomfortable upon hearing the words.

Glaring at the other man, the demon spoke again, "You want to win Michy's heart again?"

"Ah! Now you're jealous!"

"I'm not jealous!"

"Your expression is like that, so what is the meaning of the expression if it's not jealousy?"

"..."

Azren couldn't immediately reply to Elias' question. The other man was so cunning, but he couldn't counter the attack. How was he supposed to counter when he didn't even know the answer in his heart?

The owner of the pair of emerald eyes didn't even know what kind of expression he was making just now, and he also didn't know what feelings he had in his heart. He only knew that he didn't like Elias' previous statement. That's all.

"I asked you that question because Michy has a girlfriend now. Having a girlfriend is better than having a boyfriend for him. At least, being straight wouldn't ruin his reputation," Azren finally managed to respond to Elias.

Elias sighed before looking away from the green-eyed man. "I understand," he replied. "But, love is love, and love is seeing things with heart, not with eyes nor brain. If Michy is happier with a man, then so what?"

Azren gasped upon hearing Elias' careless statement. The golden-eyed man was indeed a carefree person. When most people in the country were against homosexuality, Elias could say something like that lightly.

Elias didn't even look hesitant at all, and Azren was speechless when he saw the man's expression. 

'Ah, but he had a relationship with Michy in the past, so he's also gay, right? That's why he dared to defend the homosexuals,' Azren finally came to a realization.

Elias was bold, and if all people in the country were as bold as him, then Michy's scandal wouldn't be an issue.

Azren knew that humans were such hypocritical creatures, and they tend to lie a lot. Not only lying, but they often pretended to be someone that was not them.

The public was slandering Michy now, but among those people, probably some cowards were hiding their real sexuality.

Azren remembered the incident with the radio DJ Reno, and he was sure that there were other Renos in the world who was pretending to be straight but bent on the inside.

They were just being hypocrites, and when they were trying to appear just like angels on the surface, they were probably similar to demons in the heart.

"You sound so confident, and I wonder whether Michy will be willing to accept you again or not," Azren replied again after giving it more thought.

Elias finally turned to him again, still with a small smile on his handsome face.. "Do you want to bet with me? Let's see who will be able to win Michy's heart in the end. Is it me, is it you, or is it the girl named Trissa?"
