Chapter Text
Dan feels the not quite physical sort of tugging sensation that means he's being summoned, and sighs. He could resist of course, but it becomes increasingly uncomfortable the longer he does and a strong enough being could just force him to appear anyway. He sets his hand of cards face down on the table and looks up at Ross. "I guess we're going to have to finish our game later. Some asshole is summoning me again."
Ross grins wide enough to show his fangs. "No problem man, we can pick it up another time. Holly wanted to do something today anyway."
Dan glares at the vampire. "You better not look at my cards, I'll know" he warns before letting himself be pulled to the summoner.
As he appears, Danny decides on a whim to go full on theatrical, willing a cloud of black smoke into existence. He manipulates the smoke so he's cloaked in darkness for a few moments, before letting it dissipate and reveal his presence. He let's his eyes bleed black with a grin.
The man standing outside the summoning circle yelps and back-peddles away from the demon.
Dan cocks his head to the side. This was the person who summoned him? He certainly doesn't look very threatening. "You summoned me?"
The human looks at Dan with wide eyes. "I...fuck...did I?" He starts flipping through his spell book quickly.
Dan frowns in confusion and let's his eyes turn brown again. "You didn't purposely summon me?"
"Umm n-no? I was trying to cast a cleansing spell on my house."
Danny looks at him for a good silent five seconds, before he starts laughing. "You- how do you accidentally summon a demon? I mean, how did you manage to fuck up that badly?"
"Ah, I don't really know?" The summoner offers, a light blush on his face. "So does this mean you aren't going to kill me?" the man asks.
Dan rolls his eyes. "No, I'm not going to kill you. You did interrupt my poker game though."
"Sorry...? In my defense, I didn't mean to summon a demon into my house. I'm Arin by the way."
Dan shakes his head. "I'm Dan. Or Danny. Or master, but that usually doesn't come until later." Arin chokes out a surprised laugh making Dan grins in satisfaction. "Why were you trying to cleanse your house, anyway?"
Arin sighs. "I have a bunch of pixies that wont leave me the fuck alone."
Dan snickers and holds his hand out. "Let me see your book."
Arin hands it over with a 'have at it' gesture.
Dan scans the page Arin had been reading. The demon kneels down and smudges a few lines of the sigil that Arin had drawn, before fixing them with the piece of chalk. Satisfied with his work, Dan stands back up and begins reading from the book, perfectly pronouncing the Latin words that Arin had been fumbling with. He hands the book back to Arin. "Alright, that should take care of it. They won't be able to enter the property anymore.
"Wait really? That's it? Do I owe you my soul now or some shit?"
Dan leers at Arin. "You would know if we made a proper deal. You gotta kiss to seal that shit."
Arin snickers. "Good to know. So, you said I pulled you away from a poker game? I don't want to keep you if you should you be getting back to that."
Dan shrugs. "Nah. Ross, my buddy who I was playing with, left to go have date night with his wife."
"Oh, cool. Good for them. Well now that my pixie problem is gone, I don't have anything planned out for the day. Want to play Xbox?"
Danny grins. "Depends. What games are we talking?"
