Desert evening air, windows down, a long stretch of road, and his trusted hellhound are a deadly combination in combatting a foul mood. Keith sings along with Bad Moon Rising while Kosmo hangs his head from the passenger’s side window.

Just a demon and his dog.

“There are only two things that can make this moment better, Kosmo. Donuts and hot wings,” Keith says as Krispy Kreme’s sign comes into view on the horizon.

“Stop calling me hot wings.”

The serious camber of Shiro’s voice almost causes Keith to startle and flee his vessel. Luckily, he is no spring demon. “Holy Christ , don’t do that when i’m driving!”

Shiro sits in the backseat, still dressed ridiculously in the trench coat and suit. Stupid, wonderful angel can’t even dress. Keith makes a mental note to take Feathers shopping.

“Do not take His name in vain,” Shiro scolds to which Keith sticks his arm out the window and offers the Lord a rude gesture.

“Shove that Holier than thoust bullshit up your tight ass, Feathers,” Keith replies. “You didn’t call last week.”

Admittedly, his bad mood rested in Shiro not calling like he said he would. Hadn’t seen or heard from Shiro in two weeks.

Two weeks, three days, five minutes, twenty seconds – but he isn’t counting.

“I was busy,” Shiro replies shortly.

“Playing God?”

“Why do you have a vehicle? You do not need it to travel,” Shiro asks, glancing out the window as the flat landscape goes by. “Do you not feel contained?”

“I like to drive,” Keith snaps. “It’s comforting. You want some nuggies, Feathers?”

A McDonald’s looms ahead across from the Krispy Kreme and a quick midnight fast-food snack sounds good. Plus, part of him wants to extend Shiro’s stay.

“Nuggies?”
