Random angst au Maggot made that I wrote a scene for
People probably aren’t gonna see this so I won’t be embarrassed too much hopefully-
Tw: Throwing up ig
Opera stared.
Kalego was hugging Iruma tightly, the younger boy sobbing into his chest as their kouhai shushed him gently. His face still bruised and his movements slow and jerky from when they had fought him earlier.
Except, was it really a fight?
The hellhound didn’t fight back at all, simply lying there and taking the beating with empty eyes. Back then they had been too angry- too upset to think much about it, but now they wished they had. They felt as if they'd been pierced through the chest as Iruma started sobbing quietly. Stepping forward the butler reached their hand out, eyes wide.
“Kalego-kun—“ they jerked their arm back with the Naberius only fell back at the sigh of their proffered hand. Eyes wide and shaking as he clutched the younger boy in his arms with panicked breaths. Iruma looked worried as he began shaking the older demon gently while asking about his well being in a panicked tone.
.
Stepping back the hellcat felt a dark pit form in their stomach, as if they’d eaten something bad and it was messing with their stomach. Their ears drooped until it pinned against their head, tail stiff behind them.
“Kalego-kun…?” Opera’s voice only seemed to cause more panic in Kalego, he scooted back until his back hit the wall. The demon let out a sharp hiss of pain but still his eyes remained on them, wide and shaking.
Sudden memories surface, of earlier when their anger had taken over and they hadn’t pulled their punches. Their precious kouhai limp on the floor with the smallest trickle of blood sliding down his chin.
They wanted to puke.
“K- Kalego-kun wait please—“ how odd, normally the hellcat would never allow themselves to sound so vulnerable. It was awful, but the way the Naberius backed up- despite there being no room to -was worse. Their mind was filled with the clashing images of the hellhound somehow being able to hurt their own fledgling. And yet somehow, they hadn’t even considered the idea that it was all some messed up misunderstanding.
What a pathetic excuse of a senpai they were, having beaten their underling until nothing but fear remained in his eyes whenever he so much as looked at them. Their mouth started to taste sour, and they could feel their chest begin to constrict painfully.
How could they have done such a thing? Their tail was still, ears twitching in irritation as they began to pant heavily. The butler let themselves take another step back, and then another…and another. At some point they recognized they had fled the room entirely, tail between their legs as their footsteps echoed through the hallway.
.
Dali and Oswell passed them as they ran, silently screaming at them for not realizing the horrible mistake they had all made by throwing away their precious kouhai so quickly. They knew Sullivan wouldn’t be upset with them for running, he was never upset with them about anything. Opera could probably commit every crime possible in the Netherworld and he’d still look at them with that fond look he always had.
Normally the thought of their charge lifted up their mood, but now it only made them want to cry.
Finally, after running until their legs felt as though they’d fall off and tears had prickled in the corner of their eyes. They stopped at the vacant cafeteria, eyes wide and tail lashing as they growled and flung a trash can over.
The hellcat’s violent destruction continued for what seemed like an eternity, until their hands were bruised and nicked. Their legs sore and throbbing, and yet they continued. Everything they knocked over and demolished only reminded them of how much they had hurt their precious kouhai. Every object they shattered to pieces reflected Kalego’s fear filled face. Or even worse the defeated look in his eyes as blood trickled down the corner of their mouth.
.
Until finally they stopped and collapsed to the ground, hands bruised and covered in small nicks. They could barely feel the pulse in their limbs over the blood rushing through their ear. The butler retched once, twice before throwing up on the floor with tears dripping down their face as the acidic taste filled their mouth and throat.
Opera only stared into the vile mess of vomit with tears sliding down their face and desperate gasps. Before finally they let out a sound that was the mix of a sob and a laugh, weak in their chest as they chuckled and cried gently.
“I’m sorry…” they muttered, wiping furiously at the tears staining their face. The hellcat couldn’t even remember the last time they had been so violently sick. It made them chuckle at how utterly pathetic they were. Crying over something they had caused.
I’m sorry, they thought weakly, I’m sorry…
Angst
Lol
AUGGHHHHHHHHH

Maybe the reason I dislike Kirio so much is bc of how much I resemble him…
Eh whatever
Cry more, your tears feed me^^
I’m just gonna dump Opera fanfiction ideas in here now
“Opera, come out please?”
They didn’t move an inch, the door to their room remaining locked as they buried their face into the pillow they were clutching. Tail curled around their body as they stayed silent, they listened as Sullivan continued quietly pleading for them to come out.
What’s the point…? Opera thought as they stared down at the ground from where they were curled up on the floor. Their ears were pinned to their head as they gently chewed on the bottom of their lip. The older demon didn’t open their door, even if he technically could if he really wanted to, so they were quite thankful that he wasn’t barging in.
What kind of security devil could they be when they didn’t even have a bloodline ability? How would they protect or serve their charge if they didn’t even have an official status… They let out a bitter sigh, glancing at the door Sullivan was behind.
Sometimes they wondered if he made a mistake taking them in, the clanless fledgling with no bloodline ability and no real talent. Turning away, the hellcat let out a long sigh with glazed over eyes. With a soft huff they curled up and closed their eyes, they were determined to simply forget about the whole situation for at least a few hours.
As sleep slowly began dragging them down, Opera could only think a single, bitter thought born out of their self hatred. Ears drooped and tail coiled tight around their body as their eyes gently closed.
Perhaps, Sullivan should’ve chosen a fledgling more suitable than them.
Opera angst lol
Theory that Opera has no bloodline ability (probably not true but eh)
@dim steppe i honestly wonder if opera is able to use any mana at all. iirc we've never seen seen them cast a spell
iruma assumed they used fractal on that couch that one time, but opera's probably strong enough to just pick up a couch raw
Ooo
To be honest I thought they had used a spell somewhen but honestly maybe not
Let’s be honest, Opera 100% could’ve destroyed that couch without magic
I think it’d just be interesting if one of the stronger characters that’s also close with Iruma didn’t have any magic, of course I doubt this is canon but it’s what I believe till Nishi says otherwise. I can’t exactly think of a time Opera used magic and we’ve never been shown their bloodline, even as a student Opera was beating up kids with their fists and legs alone.
I just think it’d be cool if there was a strong demon like Opera who didn’t have any magic
they meleed cerberus itself
(Also sorry late response I was sleeping)
(its all good, i figured)
Cerberus got flung lol
i agree w/ all of this, i think opera not having magic and being part of the babyls trio, being the HEAD of the babyls trio, opens up some new insight on power dynamics in the netherworld. and how someone can carve a place for themselves when they can't follow the traditional methods.
very like opera too to sidestep the "how did you get this far w/o magic!?" interjections or underestimations by just not saying anything about it. they will beat you up it, isnt your business how they do it. incredibly on brand
Opera will either beat you up (if they don’t care about you or you’re Kalego) if you ask
Or they’ll just go ‘think whatever’ if they care about you
Also it’d be really interesting since for the uh, I forgot execution cannonball thing Opera technically trained Iruma
Iruma said he didn’t want to use magic, and so Sullivan appointed Opera
Who didn’t seem to use magic at all
yeah! sullivan outright said "oh for nonmagical traininv you should talk to opera"
Maybe I’m getting too into this from a writer perspective but for a main character without magic of his own and dropped into a suddenly very magical world, it would be an interesting part of the story if one of the closest and strongest characters in Iruma’s life was without magic
I feel like I’m repeating myself
Someone take away my device I just woke up-
opera without magic maybe, clara without flight maybe, and azz refusing to use bloodline magic
Oh shit yeah Clara and Azz too
I mean for someone who’s a noble and as powerful as Azz he refuses to use his bloodline
And we don’t know bout Clara’s wings
Gonna throw this in here-
Also small headcanon, Opera showed their emotions a lot as a fledgling
Very expressive when they were younger
