Description
"You've been called for a hearing, brother. I assume you know why?" Mephisto naturally asked his younger brother, Amaimon.

The King of Earth sighed and hung his head, only mildly irritated it seemed. He's been in the courtroom only once before, after becoming enraged he had lost a battle with his younger half-brother, Rin Okumura, and broke into the room, and essentially getting himself killed by Rin. However, he was here again, in Mephisto's room in the True Cross Academy, sitting on a small sofa next to a young girl, about __ years old, ______ colored hair, and ___ eyes. It was his familiar, Behemoth, who had bitten you when you were just a girl, and you'd seen demons your entire life, eventually leading you to see Amaimon, who had quickly fallen for your quirky ways. Quirky, as in you didn't seem entirely mentally stable, you lashed out at times, and you acted almost childish, somewhat around eleven years old.
He first enjoyed your company, and the treats you brought him, then he cherished the time you spent together, though the majority of it included, but was not limited to: Making rude comments about eachother, fighting, arguing, punching, sword fighting, and chasing eachother throughout the forests nearby.
All of which you were no match for Amaimon, but you enjoyed it nonetheless.

You two had been together now for around five months, and even though the King of Earth didn't entirely understand the concept of liking someone, he was willing to try for you, and was patient with your sometimes idiotic ways.

"Yes, I know brother." He replied, and you knew as well. Since Satan and Rin and Yukio's mother, demon/human relationships had been outlawed, and any sign of one was to be dealt with immediately. Meaning you two.

"Actually, both of you are wanted there. It's a hearing regarding your relationship." Mephisto smirked beneath the brim of his thick white hat. Amaimon looked down with only his eyes and asked when, to which the answer was the next day.
You had 24 hours to be with him before who knows what happened at the hearing.

The first five of those hours were spent in Mepphy Land, closed to the rest of the public courtesy of Mephisto himself, to let you spend quality time together, and next you were sitting in the forest in the trees, jumping from one to the next with the help of Amaimon of course, and you sat beneath the thick pine woods, back to back with him, talking about the possible outcomes of your trial.

"What if you're banned to Gehenna, what then?" You asked. "Hmmm, not likely, I am the King of Earth after all, and they can't replace me." His voice mildly raised in pitches as he spoke. He sounded like a child sometimes, and an emotionless one at that.
"What if we just aren't allowed to see eachother?" "A law can't stop that, people break rules all the time."
"If they execute you?"
He froze and you felt his body tense against yours at the thought.
"Again, not likely, but after what I did last time I was there, they might not hesitate actually." He popped a sucker into his mouth and thought about it, would he be executed? They almost killed Rin.

Nightfall came faster than expected, and with it the urgency and stress of the possibility of losing one another.
Instead of spending the night separately , you lay there holding eachother for hours, him eating three times as many candies as usual, due to worry, which was something he didn't do often.

~

Daybreak. The morning of your trial. You hated this. You hadn't done anything wrong, nor had he, so why did they care so much? Because of one thing that happened over sixteen years ago now? You weren't pregnant, what did it matter?
Sighing, you didn't bother eating breakfast; you weren't hungry. Amaimon however, had two lollipops in his mouth along with a jolly rancher, a piece of taffy, and finished it off with a slice of cake and a bag of chips, downing those with a glass of chocolate milk.
Wishing you could eat like that and maintain your figure, you showered and dressed, in not yours, but Amaimon's favorite outfit you had. If today was your last day ever laying eyes on eachother, you wanted him to remember you the most ideal way possible.

"Amaimon, and you, child," Mephisto gestured to you two, "It's time."

~

"Is it true that you, Amaimon, King of Earth and Prince of Gehenna, have been seeing a human girl as a romantic interest, and pursued her as such?" One of the Clergymen asked.
"Yes, your accusations are correct, but your ideas are all wrong." He said coolly.
"What do you mean by this? Explain yourself." Another demanded.
He held a straight face. "I mean by your definitions of our relationship, you assume we are to be the parents of another half demon child, but the reality is that I simply enjoy her company. It does get lonely while brother is teaching his students, and when we get free time, we only talk to eachother. In fact, we've not even kissed." They whispered to eachother and he simply looked them straight in the eye.

Turning to you, they asked you to define the relationship between you and the demon.
"Well, just like he said. Whenever possible, we spend time together, generally fighting or talking. Forgive me for saying so, but your ideas of our relationship are confined to a marriage in my opinion, whereas we act more like acquaintances than people who are actually interested in one another," Growing bolder, you raised your voice, "I ask you to broaden your mind and take this into consideration that we rarely even have physical contact with eachother!"
"How dare you, telling me what to do in my own courtroom, the very nerve of it! However, it only goes to show the lengths and borders you would be willing to cross, simply to have me reconsider your sentences, an-"

"Reconsider?! You mean you already had them thought out? Before our very own trial?!" Amaimon raged. It was the most emotion you'd seen or heard him express in all the time you'd known him.
"Amaimon, your crimes are already enough to throw you back to Gehenna, I advise you bite your tongue. Do you know how long it took to rebuild this area after you and your familiar destroyed it?"
"That familiar's name is Behemoth and he's also the reason I was ever even seen by her! Now you want to take her away from me, too?! After you killed my Behemoth??!"
"Amaimon, calm down, lest we have another incident like last time here!" He grit his teeth and stepped back.
"I won't let you have her! She's mine, and mine alone! I earned her, and so I'll keep her! You can try to separate us, but I'm staying with her and she's staying with me, and that's final!" He raged.

His arms started turning green with a red arrow down them, and he sprouted horns.
He was entering his demon form once again in order to protect you from being taken away from him.
It was a terrible time, but you felt truly loved, no matter how little he understood the point of wanting a significant other.
The serpent tail showed itself and Exorcists jumped into action, shooting at him to no avail.

The ground shook and you lost your balance, landing into the arms of a nearby young man, and to Amaimon, whether he only caught you or not, was unacceptable.

"I'm the only one who holds her!" He roared. Jumping to your side, he wrapped his left arm around you and yanked you away, but not without delivering a punch straight to his face, tossing him across the room effortlessly.

"Amaimon, cease this at once, so help me, you and the girl will be executed!" One of the Clergymen yelled.
"Nobody touches her! NOBODY!" He drew out the last word and the walls crumbled, Exorcists desperately trying to stop the raging King without shooting you.

"Mephisto, control your brother!" They ordered.
He smirked and closed his eyes at the command. "Now why would I do that? So you can kill him, and a student of mine? Not likely, but if you're willing to strike up a bargain~" He purred.

"What are your demands?"
"I'll tell you what, I stop him from ruining your courtroom again and ensure you he will never return under the circumstances that he is in trouble with the law, that is, only if you let him live, and the girl, and let them be."
Amaimon, hovering above everything, silenced after hearing his elder brother finally take his side, when it came to him and his battles, Mephisto often couldn't care less if he died or was threatened.
"I'm afraid I cannot do that Mephisto Pheles, they either separate or someone, by the law, must die."

Amaimon lost it again, walls and floor shaking worse than before, chunks of ceiling falling down and injuring a few people, while drawing up earth and forming a wall around your body to keep you from them and their weapons, which had yet to cease firing at him.

"I don't wanna die, so I guess you're gonna have to." He whispered.
Yelling obscenities at everyone and everything, he raised his hands and jerked them down again, like pulling on a puppet's strings, and with his fists came large amounts of dirt and rock, and he sent them flying towards the jury and the Exorcists. A few boulders came falling and he shielded your body with his own.

"Fine! You win! Mephisto, take the boy and the young lady away from here! As long as you keep your end of the bargain and prevent us from EVER having to deal with him again, they may live."

The purple haired demon grinned and went on. "And?"
A sigh, and a wave of silenced, save for Amaimon's ongoing wave of curses, overtook the room.

"And they are hereby granted permission to remain together. On one more condition. A human and demon coupling is still outlawed, therefore, if you want to stay with one another, she must become a demon, and rule by your side as the Earth Queen."
The King of Earth immediately hushed at the statement. That's alot for only five months, and for rarely even touching eachother.

"I'll take it!" Mephisto sang as he held his hat out by the brim with a smile that would put the Cheshire Cat to shame.

"It's possible to make me into a demon?" You asked.
"My dear, I am positive Mephisto has a few old books on the subject, now then, will you take the offer?"
Blinking, you replied, "Of course."

A nod was received, and they turned to Amaimon. "Do you as well accept the offer, King of Earth?"
"Absolutely." Came immediately.
"Then it is done. Sir Mephisto Pheles, kindly take them away, and do whatever ungodly ritual you must. I don't ever want to see either one of them here again."

"Wonderful! Brother, brother's dearest, we must away!~" Mephisto cheerfully rang out. He always enjoyed winning and getting what he wanted, and it was rare he didn't. Pulling out a key, the three of you walked through a door, back into your own promised land.

~

It's been a while. About four years. Only four though.
As Queen of Earth, Mephisto found it appropriate to call you "Mother Nature" and though fitting, you didn't enjoy it, as opposed to Amaimon, who got a little bit of a kick out of it every time.

And speaking of little kicks, Amaimon and you were starting a family.
Mephisto adored the idea of being an uncle, and Amaimon liked the idea of having his own tiny hell raiser around.
"Due any day now." Speak of the devil, or his son, Amaimon stood behind you, offering pocky.

Taking it, he sat next to you. "What started this? What started us?" You asked out of the blue, never getting what caused an emotionless wreck like himself to end up fathering your child.

"You're different. Since brother showed me you, as his student, all the way until now, you've had an interesting perspective on life. Your view on reality is altered forever, but it's perfect. You set out to find yourself.You aren't afraid of the unknown, like so many are. You've welcomed Gehenna, and it's residents, into your life. You welcomed me into your life. Though I still can't fathom why."
You smiled softly and tried to think of your own disjointed reason as to how it all began.

"Maybe it's because you just give me feelings of happiness like Behemoth, but meant for people." He pondered on. "Did you just call me a hobgoblin?" You jokingly asked.
"A pretty one."
"Nice save."
