"And I do appreciate that." Rex replied. "I forgive you, Mom."
"Hmm." Sirzechs 'hmmph'ed. "So you left because you didn't appreciate mine and Grayfia's best efforts to be there for you when we could, Rex? You sound like you're ungrateful for all we tried to do for you."
"Sirzechs..." Grayfia spoke, with a warning tone. "Weren't you listening to anything Rex said? There were reasons beyond us that Rex decided to leave us. And besides, we're doing a better job of being parents to Millicas, so there's no chance of it happening again, right?"
"Right." Sirzechs replied, taking a breath and looking up at Rex, who still looked between Grayfia and Sirzechs, his calm expression still on his face.
"It's fine, Mom. I understand Dad's way of thinking. In fact, I'm honestly surprised that you aren't coming to the same conclusion that he did." He then turned to Sirzechs, and focused on him.
"Dad. I've said it before, I'll say it again. You're not the only reason I left, and though you are a part of it, I don't hold anything against you as a person. I still acknowledge that for the small part of your life that you were able to see me, you were a great father."
"I see." Sirzechs replied, nodding. "Well, now that that's out of the way, I have a question for you, Rex."
"Yes?" Rex replied.
"Well, now that we know why you left, would you mind telling us what you were doing while you were gone?" Sirzechs asked. "You seem extremely different from before when you left. You're a lot taller, and more muscular, too. Have you been working out?"
"Well, in a sense." Rex replied. "I much prefer to call it 'training', but to each their own, I suppose. Apart from wanting independence from a Clan that was far, far too strict and organised in bringing me up as the Heir to a Clan, and not a powerful Devil. Again, sorry to sound selfish, but it's true."
"No, no, we understand, Rex." Sirzechs replied, holding a calming hand up. "Devils are selfish by nature, so we understand your wishes." Rex grinned.
"Alright, then." The silver-haired Nephalem replied. "Though, there's something else that's happened while I've been on my travels. Something you might want to know."
"Okay..." Grayfia replied. "What is it?"
"Well..." Rex replied, slightly guiltily. Now that he was about to tell his parents, it seemed to have suddenly become a lot harder for him to do so. "I'm... married."
Two glasses shattered at the exact same time, from Grayfia and Sirzechs having dropped them at the exact same time.
The Crimson Satan and the Silver-Haired Queen of Annihilation stared at their son, in abject amazement, while Rex waited for his parents to recover from the obvious shock by idly looking up at a poster on the wall that depicted a certain greatest drummer of all time doing his thing, with the simple caption of 'foREVer' written on the bottom, while also waving his hand to pick the broken pieces of glass up, and mend them back into normal glass cups, clean up the water spilled, and return the glasses to the kitchen.
Rex looked back at Grayfia and Sirzechs, who looked like their brains had done a full factory reset, but didn't mean that they were no less shocked.
"M-married?!" Grayfia stammered, in shock. "You? Really?"
"Yeah." Rex replied, seeing no reason whatsoever to sugar-coat it. "I'm married."
"But... but..." Grayfia composed herself, then walked over to Rex and grabbed his ear.
HARD.
"How could you have gotten married without us being there?!" Grayfia asked, a dark killing intent seeping from her body. "Didn't you know that it was the greatest desire of our lives, to see our firstborn son getting married to the woman he loved?" She shook Rex' ear slightly as she held it in an iron grip, while infusing some of her demonic power into it to make it hurt more. "Do you have anything to say for yourself?"
"Y-yes, actually." Rex replied, through the pain, and focused a small, but potent, light-spell into his left ear the one that Grayfia was holding onto, making his mother hiss slightly in pain and let go of his ear. Rex then rubbed his ear, and stood up.
"I wanted to invite you to my wedding. Believe me, I did. But I decided against it because you two, amongst others, would have tried to drag me back to the Underworld, where I 'belonged'. And another thing, Mom." Rex opened a magic-circle with his hand, reached into it, and began to rummage around in it for a second.
"I know it's in here somewhere..." He muttered, reaching deeper and deeper into the circle, before he triumphantly crowded "Here we are!" And pulled something out: a memory stick.
"Here you go." He tossed the memory stick to Sirzechs, who caught it.
"It's got the video that I put together of my wedding on it, in case you ever came asking for it." He remarked, before his voice became slightly sardonic for a moment.
"Maybe you can make a reaction video on YouTube about it, Mom. It'd be bound to get popular for... certain reasons." His red eyes flicked to his mother's ample figure for a second, before looking back at her face.
"I see." Grayfia replied, either having missed the meaning of Rex' remark entirely, or showing no reaction to the fact that she HAD gotten the meaning of Rex' remark. "Thank you, Rex. I'll make sure to watch it."
"I will, as well." Sirzechs added, smiling. "Thank you for thinking of us like this."
"Hmm." Rex replied, shrugging, as Grayfia put the memory stick in her own magical storage space. "Anything else you want to ask?"
"Oh, yes." Grayfia replied. "Rex, who are you married to? I-I'd love to meet her, if you wouldn't mind."
"Oh, I wouldn't." Rex replied.
