Hey guys!
I don't really got anything to say.
Enjoy the show!

I am bad at basketball.
I know, I know, I'm a disgrace to black people, but it's not my fault I was diagnosed by NTCPB (nigga that can't play basketball) syndrome at a young age. Regardless, I think I can easily school Niffty and Daki here. I mean, I love her, but Niffty is literally like 4'8, Daki is like 5'7 and they're both Asian so they probably never played basketball in their lives.
Now ignoring my height, Angel is just like Wemby, he's like 7'8 or something. I'm pretty sure that as long as he doesn't blow a 30 point lead like a certain OTHER basketball player, we'll probably be good. Angel and I got the ball first, Angel dribbling down to Niffty and Daki's hoop while I followed closely behind.
I got behind Daki, motioning for Angel to pass the ball to me. Thankfully, Niffty wasn't some cracked God at basketball and Angel could easily jump over her and pass to me. Unfortunately for me, Daki decided to use her obi to intercept, bouncing the ball up and running towards our hoop and getting a slam dunk.
"Ref!" I cried, "Do something about this, she's cheating!" Yelling towards Charlie, I realized that not only was she not listening, she was somehow in a swimsuit and on a tanning bed with sunglasses on and the sun shining down on her… We're in a building without windows, so I don't know where the hell that sunshine is coming from to be honest.
"I dunno James, I never said anything about not using your powers." She said before raising her sunglasses up and sticking her tongue out before going back to her 'tan'. Oh I get it, if that's the case then fuck it, I guess we ball then. Instead of swapping in some abilities, I'm gonna play some good old ball purely by myself!
Right now the score was up 0-2 and it was their ball now. Nifty had it and instead of doing something normal like walking or running or even just plain out throwing the ball, she instead had the galaxy-brain move of creating a tsunami of bugs and riding them down to us.
"Holy fucking shit!!!" Very fitting words, Angel Dust. I could point out how she was technically traveling with the ball, however, I think that we can both recognize that this game of basketball is just chicanery at this point. Fitting in with the bullshit, instead of running away I decided to face it head on, summoning my armor and scaling the tsunami.
Thankfully, I was strong enough that I could just run up it, using the little bugs as stepping stones like geppo from One Piece. Wait, why am I thinking about One Piece? Nifty has ass, but not that much ass. Whatever, I soon was able to get close to Niffty, seeing her wild grin before she made her bugs blow a kiss at me and shot the ball.
THUNK
YES, SHE BRICKED IT!
Angel didn't waste a moment, swooping in and running to their side of the court. Now it was my turn to blow a kiss at Niffty through my armor before jumping over her to run alongside Angel Dust to the hoop. "Pass it to me, I can deal with Daki." I say, Angel Dust nodding before handing the ball over to me where I managed to get over to Daki already on guard with multiple of her obi out.
"Master, your road ends here." she says, cracking her knuckles as she glared at me. "There is no such thing as a painless lesson and teaching you to not underestimate me will be very pain–"
"Talking ain't a free action!" I told her before shooting the ball while she was caught off guard.
FWISH
AND THAT BITCH IS GGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNN
After that, the match started to rage on with our competition becoming fierce. We were playing for up to 20 minutes and it was pure doom, despair and everything unfair. Me and Angel only had about 14 points split between us equally while Niffty and Daki had 35 respectively. I wanted to say that it was all Angel Dust and I was actually good, but I couldn't lie, I was hot ass at this.
"How the fuck do you miss a dunk, James!?"
"I don't know, okay?"
Right now, the both of us were sitting on a bench, drinking up some water bottles that Charlie had conjured since right now it was 'halftime' she decided. What's surprising is that even though we were down and we probably wasn't coming back up, Angel Dust seems to have a light smile on his face, something like nostalgia in his eyes.
"What's got you so happy?"
He leaned back onto the wall, staring up at the ceiling instead of me. "It's good, y'know? Playing games with friends, basketball specifically. I mean, it's the last game I played before Val found me and…You know how that goes." He said, his naturally happy tone shifting into a fake smile and happiness after mentioning Val while taking a swig of his water.
Crap, I did forget about Valentino didn't I? Contracts persisted until a sinner holding the keys was permanently dead, so Angel Dust is still enslaved isn't he?
"But…" He said, interrupting my inner thoughts. "Val's been pretty damn quiet lately. I haven't heard a damn peep from him since you fucked him and Vox up a month back. So I guess I gotta thank ya." He turned his head to look at me, an honest to god smile on his face that shone like the gold tooth he had.
I…He looks beautiful.
I shook my head of the thoughts, focusing on the moment right now. He still wasn't free from the contract with that fucking rapist, but I could change that. I was still an Archfiend, whatever that was, and I still have the ability to see souls, I just don't because it's personal. I never tried to interact with a soul before, but I see no reason why I can't go to the deep end to swim.
"Angel Dust…" I say, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Do I have your permission to dig in you?"
"..."
"..." Fuck, that came out wrong.
"I mean, I'm not exactly saying no, but–"
"It came out wrong, look, I'm gonna try to separate you from that contract." I say, slotting in armament haki and using it completely on my arms.
"...You know what? Fuck it, go ahead and try it. If you're really able to separate the contract, I'll let you do whatever you want with me for a day." He said, obviously not believing me at all and facing me with his arms crossed under his…Breasts? Whatever, I close my eyes and concentrate, focusing on being able to see souls before I open my eyes and look specifically at Angel Dust's chest.
I said before that looking at someone's soul was very personal, as it was the very culmination of a person's being. What I saw inside of Angel's souls wasn't as much of a soul but more like a collection of all of his past experiences constantly. I intentionally looked around, not wanting to pry in his business, but I soon found a constant within the memories.
At the edge of the memories or on the borders were pink chains. I reached within Angel Dust, my arms fully going inside of his chest, but not out of his back, into his soul in order to interact with the chains. I simply grabbed the chains and pulled them back out of Angel's chest, holding them in my real hands as he looked at me with profound shock.
They already looked pretty banged up with little bits of rust along with some wear-and-tear making it seem much more brittle than I thought it would be. I shrugged my shoulders and simply began pulling at the chains. I started slow at first, not knowing if Angel Dust would feel some kind of pain from this, but when he didn't react, I continued to pull even harder.
It wasn't budging however, no matter how hard I pulled. I considered just giving up, but right when I least expected it, dark tentacles began to creep up from my wrists and pulled alongside me, the same tentacles that swallowed up Silver Chariot. I never knew B2A could do this!
Regardless, me and B2A pulled until the chains shattered in my hands, dissipating into the wind as shards.

[Infernal Engine]
|Elite Ability|
Your heart is an Infernal Engine, when activated your regeneration speeds increase and you gain the ability to wield Hellflames. But when using the Infernal Engine, your body starts heating up, and the longer you use it the more it heats up. The hotter your body the more effective the Infernal Engine is, but be wary of going over the edge and burning yourself with your own Hellflames.
Holy shit, that's actually really good. With the Permafrost concoction that I lowkey forgot to drink, I could most probably use this for a long time and get a free ability out of it. However, while I was contemplating my new ability, Angel Dust looked down at his hands, seeming almost out of it in a way.
His breathing picked up before his eyes focused on me and then…
He hugged me.
He held me tightly, resting his chin on mine while my face was buried in his chest fluff that I thought were tits. "Thank you so much." he said quietly, hugging me a bit tighter and not letting go. I'd think he was just exaggerating if I hadn't seen just how deplorable Valentino was along with the little memories I got of him from some of Angel's memories that I tried to gloss over.
Even if I tried not to see, I saw a lot of shit, especially the past 35 years of service Angel had done for Valentino. It was horrible, having to do his 'shows' almost everyday, getting drugged and sleeping with random people along with Valentino. All I can say is that I am thoroughly shocked with how bad this nigga's life sucks, God damn it's horrible! I hope that his life when he was alive was better, cuz he needs some TLC.
"MMph MaM MMu MeM Mo MMem Mpp mMMP?" (Translation: Okay, can you let go of me now?") I asked, not wanting to pop a stiffy when we were about to get back on the court. After a little bit more smothering, he finally let me go, actively looking even looser than he was before…Not like that, I meant he looked more open, okay? It's like a burden was released from his shoulders.
"Alright, half-time is over!" Charlie yelled, the benches disappearing and forcing us to get back up. You know what? Angel Dust is feeling good and I am so confident that I'm gonna do something that I think I've never done before.
"Oi, Niffty!" I yelled from across the court as she perked up. "If you win, I'll do that thing you like, but if I win, you can't say no to me for a whole day!" Truthfully, I was being vague with the 'thing she likes' as that can me a multitude of things, but from her wide smile and vicious nodding, she accepted anyway.
Going against Niffty and Daki would be hard for sure, but if there's a question on if I would lose, I only have 3 words.
Nah,
I'd
Win
***THE NEXT DAY***
I lost.
I missed 12 FUCKING FREE THROWS, FUCKING 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Hey Charlie, didya buy some new milk?" Angel Dust asked, sitting in the lobby while eating some cereal. I was sitting on the couch next to him as he ate his cereal like a mad-man. "Seriously, this shit is amazing!"
"No, but I agree, this is really good." Charlie corroborates, taking a whole container out of the fridge and taking a long swig. I didn't even realize we got some new milk, I wonder where it came from–
"It tastes kinda familiar though, and a little chewy…" Angel Dust says, analyzing his spoon for a second before shrugging and continuing to eat.
Soon enough, Niffty came down the stairs, greeting everybody before heading to the refrigerator. "What?" She exclaimed. "You guys already drank it all? I put 2 bottles in there yesterday!"
Wait a minute, Niffty brought the milk? She didn't even go to the grocery store yesterday and… And…I gave her 5 bottles of my nut yesterday for that 'thing she wanted' so Charlie and Angel are drinking my…
I'm gonna go kill myself.

THE END
This chapter was mostly to develop James and Angel Dust's relationship since I realized that they aren't as close as I thought. I'm also going back on Lucifer being in the harem, I don't think I can juggle more characters than I am right now and I have a very specific dynamic for him and James.
Also, I think I can pump out two chapters a week on Monday and Friday after this.
Ok bbbyyyeeeee!!
