even if their life depended on it." he said that last part with not-so hidden anger.


    I,…., give my body and soul to the sin of Pride. In doing so, Pride must complete the task that has been given to him by the user of the contract above. It is non-negotiable and must be done.''


    What about that Alica girl, hmmmm?" Mom asked as she bit into her burger. "See seems nice plus you see close."


    I snorted, "Yeah but when I found out she was already dating someone I had to cut it off. Can''t date someone when they''re already dating someone."


    Mom smiled "Good, no need to be a homewrecker, do you?"


    Nah, I just can''t be asked to deal with that evental confrontation with her boyfriend. Plus a girl like that can''t be trusted." I scoffed"The only good thing about it would be me and the boyfriend bonding over a bad girlfriend where we live happily ever after as the broest of bros."


    Mom gave me an over exaggerated sigh "And here I was, wishing you would get a girlfriend already. You''re smart, somewhat good looking and you keep yourself in shape, especially after what you used to look like."


    I groaned "Alright, I used to look fat. Can we now get over that? You bring it up all the time."


    She smiled again, "Only because I''m proud of your dedication."


    I''m smart because you forced me to read like my life depended on it and I keep myself in shape because I hated how I looked. Plus, I''m not somewhat good looking…" I flip non-existent hair…"I''m fabulous."


    She snorted, "It''s a blessing and a curse…" She flipped her hair. "…To look this fabulous."


    Yes because I get it from my agonizingly beautiful mother who likes to rub in every one''s face whenever she can." I took a sip from my milkshake. "Even if she isn''t." I muttered.


    She still heard it though if the over-exaggerated grimace and hand over heart was anything to go by.


    My own son…" She cried out, ignoring the stares she was getting "…To think he was raised this way. Where has it all gone wrong?."


    I clapped as she kept up her over done act. "9/10 would watch again. Needs more tears if you want a 10."


    Gah. Not a 10. I hate you."


    Yeah, yeah. Love you too."


    mine.


    Where are we?


    Why are we here?


    How do we leave?


    Who is Pride?


    What is magic?


    How do I use it?


    working to the fucking bone." I hissed the last part at him. I wasn''t really angry at him but I needed something to let my anger out on and he was the only one here.
