Desperate people make strange choices. For Noah, it was whispering into the dark and accidentally summoning a demon. His brother is dying, sickle cell slowly stealing what little time they have left and every door he’s knocked on has been slammed in his face. So when the shadows whisper back and a voice answers his hopeless plea, Eli listens. Enter Kaelith a demon with a smirk sharp enough to cut glass and an ego twice as big as the underworld. He promises to save Eli’s brother, but everything comes with a price. His demand? Eli’s companionship. His presence. His friendship. A window into the messy, beautiful chaos of being human. As they navigate life, one too tired to hope, the other too proud to feel, something starts to shift. Between arguments and late night talks, between near death bargains and quiet moments, a strange warmth blooms where fire and flesh meet. But demons don’t love. And humans don’t survive making deals with them. At least… that’s what they’ve both been told.
