Karl POV.

Quackity carried me into the grand lobby of his Casino, and my eyes darted around nervously as my heart rate sped up. I felt like I shouldn’t be here, all of Quackity’s employees kept looking at me cautiously. The man holding me sent them all a sharp glare which caused tme over to a glass faced elevator. 

My legs were wrapped around his waist, and my arms were wrapped around his neck while my head rested on his shoulder. Quackity wrapped his arms around my back, as we looked down at all the floors of the casino. There were floors for gambling, bars, indoor pools, restaurants, shopping floors, and a grand hotel. 

I wanted to go explore it and Quackity clearly knew what I was thinking and ran one of his hands through my hair. “Do you want to look around baby?” he asked me, and I hummed a yes, as the elevator moved up past a giant aquarium full of brightly coloured fish.

“You can do that soon okay, but first I need to go get some work done and we could come down here for lunch.”

I gave him a nod as the doors of the elevator slid open with a ding.

We were in a large office with a large oak desk in the centre of the room. Behind it was a glass window that covered the length of the room and showed the busy street below us of the city. A large row of shelves covered half of the wall to my left, with books, files, plants, and a bunch of different photos, and there were 3 couches in the corner which I assumed Quackity would use to talk with guests.

The demon lowered me onto the couch so I was laying down and he kissed me gently on my forehead. “You stay here okay baby, then we’ll go down for lunch in a couple hours or so.” I gave a nod and watched as Quackity moved over to his desk and sat down.

Quackity POV.

I began typing on my computer, but always kept Karl visible in the corner of my eye. He was curled up on the couch and reading one of the books from the bookshelf. I was surprised when I saw the book which didn’t seem like something he would read… mainly because it seems like something that a human wouldn’t learn when he was last in class, almost 10 years ago. Still I ignored it.

We were in a content silence until there was a knock on the door, both of us looked over to it and I told whoever was there to come in.
In came another demon with glowing green eyes, glasses, and brown hair. I smiled at him, showing my fangs, “hi Charlie it’s good to see you.”
The other demon smiled back at me, “you too Quackity. I was wondering if I could talk to you about a problem with the alcohol and some of the other stuff we sell… do you mind if we talk about it?”

“Sure.” I nodded, standing up from my desk to move over to the couches.
Karl was looking at Charlie curiously and I smiled, “this is my human Karl, Sapnap and I got him just over a week ago,” I turned to look at the human and moved over to sit beside him, “Karl this is one of my business associates Charlie Slimecicle.”
Karl gave a smile, “it’s nice to meet you Charlie.”

My hand moved up to run through his hair and Charlie smiled. “It’s nice to meet you Karl,” then he looked over to me, “I haven’t known a human who took any less than a month to warm up to their demon. I kind of want him.”
Karl shifted from beside me awkwardly, and I let out a growl, “you already have a pair of humans Charlie, you don’t need more, and I’m sorry but I am not going to give my baby up."

Charlie sighed and shrugged, "I was kidding, I'd never take your human from you Quackity."
"Good," I protectively replied, before the two of us sat down to talk.

We were there for a while talking, and Karl was listening and trying to make sense of what we were saying. One of my hands stayed in his hair, stroking it the entire time. After a while of talking my phone started vibrating in my pocket, and Charlie smiled, “I think that we’ve discussed enough sir, I need to go do some work.”
I nodded and he stood up to leave. As I pulled the phone out of my pocket, Sapnap was facetiming me.

Immediately I answered the call and saw my boyfriend's face. “Hey Sapnap, how are you?” I asked him.
“Good, now how is Karl?” the other demon asked, or demanded. He seemed desperate to talk to our human but not me.
“Harsh. You don’t even consider your boyfriend.” I pouted, before Sapnap responded I passed Karl the phone.
“Hi Sapnap.” the brunette greeted, smiling slightly.

“How are you, baby? Want me to pick you up?” Sapnap asked. I could tell he wanted to spend time with the human.
“I-I am fine with Quackity… thank you.” I heard him mumble before I nuzzled my head against his neck as a form of thanks and he craned his neck to the side.
“Ok Karl. Just get Quackity to call me if you want to come spend time with me instead.” The ravenette demon instructed. Karl nodded before passing the phone back to me and I hung it up.
“Sapnap gets very clingy.” I stated for the human to hear. “I mean all demons do get clingy over things they consider theirs, but wrath demons get exceptionally clingy.”
“What’s a wrath demon?” Karl asked, looking at me curiously.

“Well there are 7 types of demons, one named after each of the 7 sins.” I explained. “Wrath demons, like Sapnap, can get really angry easily and tend to like to keep things special to them close. They are also very strong.”
Karl nodded as I explained. “So what demon are you?” he asked.
“I am a pride demon, so are Dream and Skeppy.”

"What's special about a pride demon?" He asked.
I shrugged, "we just tend to work harder, we are often organised and can often earn a lot of money… we are also the best at sex." I slyly commented afterwards.
Karl blushed and I couldn't help but think about how cute he was, "I'm kidding Karl. Lusts are the best at sex."

I glanced at the clock and realised it was almost lunchtime, so I picked the human up and carried him to the elevator. "Want to stay here for lunch or go somewhere else?" I asked Karl.
"Here's fine." He replied, his head resting on my chest.

With a brief nod I pushed the button on the elevator and it took us down to the floor with the restaurant. "So that Charlie guy… what kind of demon is he?"
"A greed demon. They can be very good leaders, always trying to improve what they have but they can often be…"
"Greedy?"
"Exactly."

I took the human down to the restaurant and a member of my staff came over to me and Karl, and directed us to sit at a table for 2 in a quiet corner. Karl sat opposite me and the two of us looked over the menu. “Is there a certain amount of money that can be spent on food?” he asked me.
“Anything you want, baby.” I replied, watching his face light up. I’d never cut him off from something that keeps him happy or healthy like food.

“Thank you,” the human said with a smile which caused me to nuzzle into the side of his neck.
