(Gamer's Pov)
The whole class was in the classroom for a lesson of Human Studies and currently, a couple of the guys were loudly 'joking around' about the subject and the textbook. "All this crap is completely outdated" Wilford stated "Whoever written these have just made a dumbass of themselves" Wilford slurred as Chase and Broody silently laughed a bit whilst Erik paused his writing on the chalk board "Oh crap..." I mumbled to myself as Erik lowered his head, blank expression on his face. I've only really known Erik since the day we all arrived at EU for the first time and even though that a little over two years ago, it doesn't change the fact that it was long enough to see the reactions and outcomes that come if Erik is feeling a certain way.... especially absolutely pissed off angry. "Wilford, I can tell you right now that you are actually at the bottom of this class due to the lack of concentration you have each lesson you go to" Erik stated as the silent laughing came to a dead stop "Also, those books were designed to make you extend the 'knowledge' within it, even a 'dumbass' would know that" Erik silently spat. "Oh, burn..." Noah whispered from the back as Wilford rolled his eyes "But fine, I'll make this interesting for you" Erik turned his head, mostly looking at all of us guys "We'll make a bet between you boys" he stated, turning around and folding his arms. "No matter the number, whoever gets over ninety percent on their Human Studies test which will take place on the last day of this term... will be rewarded an unsupervised roadtrip" Erik stated, the 'reward' easily getting all the guys' attention. "But... those guys who get ninety percent and under will under go 'extra credit' classes" ...and by saying that, Erik had brought absolute horror to most of the guys' faces... except Leo and Death, I on the other hand nearly choked when Erik told us the 'punishment'. "Not so funny now, is it?" Erik smirked at Wilford as Wilford himself had such widened eyes, it looked like they were gonna pop out of his head. Meanwhile, you've got the girls now trying to control their own laughter as Erik turned back to the board with his dark smirk.

(Death's Pov)
Me, Leo, Dark and Anti managed to gather the whole house in the boys' living room, all of us crowding around my radio whilst me and Alex tempered with it exactly like last week on Open Day: my left hand glowing crimson red as it lightly laid on top of the radio as it sat on the coffee table whilst Alex was turning the dial, trying to find the same station we heard the word 'killen' come out of. "I'm starting to think this radio station doesn't exist" Seraphina spoke, folding her arms as she slowly got impatient "Sera's right- we've been here for nearly twenty minutes and nothing" Angel chimed in, tiredness rotting her voice "Maybe you imagined it-" "All ten of us?" I questioned the reaper behind me... also accidentally snapping at her at the same time. Gamer kneeled down beside me "Death, maybe we should give it a rest" he quietly suggested "It could've been a random news station-" "-curdourc" all of us froze at the foreign word spoken from the radio, none of us daring to breath nor move, as if each one of us actually had a loaded gun to our heads. "Did we find it?" Alex hesitantly asked, being the first person to speak after a minute or two of silence "I'm... really not sure" I answered, thumbling with a dial a little more before the station we found sounded clear enough. "Ravgrud Roucacrudqou curdourc" we all gave weird faces "What fucking language is that?" Akire questioned, yet neither of us really knew "Ravgrud Roucacrudqou curdourc, qubou ad" Angel angrily signed "Check the next station" I went to turn the dial yet Gamer grabbed my wrist "Wait..." he said quietly, listening to the radio, patiently waiting for the person to speak again. "Ravgrud Roucacrudqou curdourc, qubou ad" the person repeated "Livblod Resistance soldiers, come in" Gamer somehow translated- "Wait, you understand the gibberish they're saying?!" Anti asked, rather too surprised. "It's Ukromanic, an old language very little angels now know" Gamer answered "So wait... the whole time, you could speak and understand an ancient language barely anyone uses anymore?" I questioned him "Yeah".
"How?" Dark asked "Archangel Michael taught me when I was six" Gamer answered, turning back to the radio "Vadukruduv qhouqgadk ad" "Rouddud qhouqgadk ad" "Uqghrourgubr ghourou, uvour" I turned to Gamer "What are they saying?" "Vinogradov checking in, Lennon checking in, Achterkamp here over... they're 'checking in' with whoever's broadcasting on the station". "Rouddud, ordurou ud raou cruraud" "Urrarbaravou car" "The broadcaster is waiting for Lennon to affirm that the station is clear" Gamer interpreted "Cruraud ac couqorou, car" "Lennon said the station is secure" Gamer translated "Bucr rouurrou uroud'r raur kuud ur qudoud rudkoukou varaad raou kurracud, raouroururou vou ghuvou raou 'orrour-ghudd' vara qubbodaquraudc add roucruddudqou". "Uh Gamer, it'll help if you constantly keep translating for the rest of us" Angel said "Oh sorry, Lennon just said 'most people aren't that good at coded language within the garrison, therefore we have the 'upper-hand' with communications and respondance' " "So Lennon's kind of making fun of everyone who can't speak 'Ukromanic' right now" Akire folded her arms "Guess so, the problem with Ukromanic as a language is that it's hard to read the emotions within the words" Gamer shrugged his shoulders. "Plus a disadvantage is that you can't use words with the letters 'J, Q or Z', there's nothing to translate them to" Gamer pointed out as the station went dead "Fuck" I swore under my breath, controlling the urge to punch the old radio as I leaned back "We lost it again" I announced to the rest of the room, earning disappointed signs and groans. "Hey, at least we got to hear as much as we could" Leo told them "Leo's right- we now know that there's a resistance that's against the Killen cult" Angel stated "For now, I'd say we just hope that these guys are on our side-" "I have a suggestion" Gamer interrupted Angel. Everyone looked at him in confusion, including me "What?" Angel asked "What if there was a way to know for sure?" alright, even I'm worried about what I was about to hear come out of his mouth.
(No One's Pov)
Lev walked down the corridor before having someone grab his arm and drag him into a room, door closed behind him. The hand removed itself from his arm as Lev tried to comprehend what had happened before his eyes settled on the devil standing in front of him "John?" Lev questioned, raising a brow and tilting his head a little to the right as he looking at John in confusion. Lev then noticed the room itself... it was John's room. John had his head down, looking ashamed of himself "I'm sorry" John spoke in a quiet voice as Lev froze up "I don't want to lie to you... I-I... I-" "Hey" Lev placed a hand on the devil's shoulder as he continued to struggle with his words "What happened?" Lev asked "No-" "John, you can trust me" Lev assured him. "I-I... sent Cyprise to Rieannie by herself..." John started as Lev's brows frowned "She was disguised and it was only to make the fallen aware of something" John finished, still not daring to look up at the demon in front of him "She hurt or-" "No, everything went according to plan". John then looked up at Lev "I'm sorry I-" "Hey, you've got nothing to be sorry for" Lev told him, lifting his right hand to caress the side of John's face "You're the Leader of the killens, you make the calls... you don't have to apologise- especially to me" Lev said. "But..." John paused for a bit before looking into Lev's eyes "I really don't deserve you- you deserve so much more than me" John stated, hating himself more by the second "But here I am..." Lev said quietly, and for much longer than a second, the two looked at the other in a completely different way.
John slowly yet hesitantly kissed Lev, being as gentle as he could be. John gently wrapped his arms around Lev's waist as Lev's arms hung loosely around John's neck. After a minute or two, the sweet and gentle kiss grown into something else as the two stumbled back a bit until they hit the bed. John swiftly lifted Lev a bit before laying the demon gently on the bed and by own instinct pinned Lev's wrists down as the two continued to kissed. Yet a couple seconds later, the demon weakly pulled his wrists a bit, a pathetic attempt to free his wrists from John's grip. John pulled away, looking down at Lev to see an unreadable expression he's only ever seen once before. John let go of Lev's wrists then watched as the demon slowly move his hands; his right gently on the back of John's neck and the left cupped John's cheek. Lev's eyes fluttered a bit as his gaze slowly shifted to the devil's lips, Lev then gently kissed John before pulling away, gaze staying on John's lips "Wh-… what was that?" John asked quietly "I… don't really know-" before Lev could finish his sentence, John kissed him as Lev kind-of kissed back, right hand now in the tangled light-brown hair of the devil on top of him.
