I woke up the next morning to the soft pitter-patter of the rain drops hitting the roof of the apartment building. I shivered, as it was cold in the house, so I snuggled up more to Maou, who was very warm. A few minutes went by and I fell back into a deep slumber. That is until I felt something cold drip on my nose. I looked up sleepily and I felt something drip on me again.
Then I realized that the ceiling is leaking. I huff and I try to wake up Maou. I try. "Maou." I whispered and he groaned. I shook him a little but it didn't work. "Maou come on. Get up. The ceiling is leaking." I said to him and I pounded lightly on his chest, but he still refused. "Maou come on." I said again and I tried to wiggle out of his grip, but he just held on to me tighter. "Maou get up now." I tell him.
"Noo." He whined and he rolled over onto his side, letting go of me. Frustrated, I moved him to where I was laying and the water dripped down on him too, waking him up as well.
"What the hell?" He mumbled sleepily and he sat up quickly when he realized it too.
"Oh, crap!" Maou said and the water dripped down on him again and he quickly wiped it off. "Dammit."
"I told you the ceiling was leaking, but you were being a baby and wouldn't wake up." I say to him.
"Why do you have to be so noisy in the morning?" Emi asked, waking up, probably because of us.
"Sorry. The ceiling is leaking water." Maou explained.
"Sucks to be you." Emi said, rolling over so she wasn't facing us anymore.
"Thanks!" Maou exclaimed. "Ashiya! The roof is leaking."
"Do something, our trusty housewife!" I said and Maou chuckled.
"Can you be any cuter?" Maou asked and I grinned at him.
"Can you be any stupider?" Emi asked and my smile when away and I looked over at her.
"Can you be any ruder?" I asked her.
"I bet if she tried, she could." Maou said and she glared at him. Then another water drop fell on him. "Dammit. Ashiya! Do something!"
"Did you die?" I asked and he opened his eyes and looked at me.
"You'd like that, wouldn't you?" Ashiya said and he rubbed his eyes and yawned.
"It's too early for all of this. Can't you deal with this yourselves?" Ashiya asked annoyed.
"But we don't know how." I tell him.
"How do you expect me to?" Ashiya asked.
"You're the housewife. You're supposed to-" Ashiya went and whacked me in the face with his pillow and went back to sleep.
"How dare-!" I was interrupted by water dropping onto my face. "Guess we could ask the landlady."
"She still freaks me out." Maou said, coming back inside.
"What did she say?" I asked him, laying on the floor, by my desk.
"She called a guy to come and fix it." Maou said and he sat down at the table, where Ashiya, Suzuno, and Emi were sitting too.
"That's good." I say and I yawn. "Ugh. It's too early for this."
"Yeah. Good going, waking everyone up." Emi said and I scoff.
"You're just jealous that I got to sleep next to Maou and you didn't." I said that and Emi's face turned a bright shade of pink.
"No, I'm not!" She squealed and I rolled my eyes.
"Right. Just keep telling yourself that." I say and the lights flicked back on. "Ugh. Finally." I said and I stretched my arms and sighed. "Now we don't have to deal with Emi."
"Why you little..." Emi growled and Ashiya stood up and walked into the kitchen.
"What are you doing?" I asked him as I rolled on to my stomach.
"Making breakfast." Ashiya said and he opened the fridge and picked up a carton of eggs and looked inside it. "Who all wants breakfast?"
"Me." I said first.
"Leech." Emi growled.
"Bitch." I say back and she threw a tissue box at me. It hit my face and I picked it up and threw it back.
"Children, enough." Ashiya said and he turned to Maou. "Are you gonna want anything to eat?" Ashiya asked.
"Yeah." Maou answered. He looked at the two girls.
"Yes please." Suzuno said.
"No thanks. I'm gonna go home and eat." Emi said and she stood up.
"We don't have enough food for everyone if the leech eats," Ashiya shot me a glare, "so I have to go to the store." I looked at Maou like, did you see that?! Maou huffed.
"Don't call him a leech." Maou defended.
"When he stops being a leech, I'll stop calling him a leech." Ashiya said.
"Maybe when you stop calling me a leech, I'll stop being a leech." I said back.
"So you're admitting that you are, in fact, a leech." Emi said and I growled at her.
"Hey." Maou said in response to my growl.
"Can't you just leave already?" I say and Emi headed towards the door and she started to put on her shoes.
"Let me walk you to the train station." Ashiya said.
"Do you need some assistance at the store? I can come with you." Suzuno said.
"Okay." Ashiya agreed.
"Now leave." I said to those three and they all glared at me.
"Don't order me around." Ashiya said.
"Whose's stopping me?" I snap back.
"I will, if you don't-" I crawl over to Maou and I wrap my arms around his neck and I hang on to him like a child.
"Maaaooou. They're being mean to meee." I whine and they all three look at me shocked like, seriously?!
"Are you five?!" Emi shouted and I looked up at her innocently but with a devilish grin across my face.
"See?" I say and I look up at him with puppy eyes. He blushed a little and smiled. Gosh, I wonder what he's thinking right now. Probably about how cute I look right now.
"Be nice to him." Maou gave in and I snuggled into his chest and I turned and grinned at them. Their jaws dropped probably as how easily he gave in to me.
"What?! What just happened?!" Emi shouted.
"I could ask the same question." Suzuno muttered.
"Sire! You can't honestly give into him like that! Remember how he betrayed us? How can you be so forgiving?!" Ashiya shouted and my smile faded away and I frowned. So what if I betrayed them? The past is in the past, he should just let it go. And yes, that is a Frozen quote. I've been watching Disney movies a lot lately online.
"Okay, that's just going too far." I tell them. "As long as Maou has forgive it, then it doesn't matter anymore. You don't have to throw it in my face every time. What's done is done."
"What's done is done?! You blew up an entire bridge and you almost killed us! How can you act so lightly about it! Just because he has forgiven you, doesn't mean we have." Emi said.
"I don't care about what you guys think about me at all. You guys hate me and you act horribly to me-"
"Because you deserve it!" Emi shouted at me. I paused and I looked away. Do I deserve everything I've gotten since I've been here...?
"Okay that's enough!" Maou said and I looked up at him. "He doesn't deserve it. He's already been punished for it so just drop it." Maou defended and I gave him a weak smile. "Don't listen to them." He says to me. I nod and I crawl over to my laptop.
"Ugh." Emi said and she walked out the door.
"We'll see you two later... Don't do anything... weird while we're gone." Ashiya said.
"Is it okay if we leave them home alone together?" Suzuno questioned.
"Yes, because they know we will be back in roughly an hour. They wouldn't dare to do anything." Ashiya said.
"There's a lot of things we could do in just an hour so don't think we wouldn't take the chance." I say, not looking over at them, I just kept clicking on useless websites about magical places and urban legends.
"We're not gonna do anything." Maou reassured Ashiya and Suzuno both.
"Whatever." Emi said and they all three left. I closed my laptop and turned around to face him.
"Why did you say that?" Maou asked me, irritated.
"I was just joking. Sorry." I said to him and his expression softened.
"So what do you want to do for the next hour?" Maou asked. I opened my mouth to speak but he interrupted me. "Without doing anything sexual." He said sternly.
"No kissing?" I asked innocently.
"You can barely kiss me without getting turned on." Maou said and I blushed.
"No I don't. Shut up." I mumble, embarrassed, and he smirked.
"So what else do you have in mind?" Maou asked.
"We could just talk." I say and Maou looked at me weird.
"What? We barely do, just the two of us." I say and he smiled.
"Okay then. What do you want to talk about?" He stands up and walks over to me and sits back down so now we're face to face.
"Mmm. You have so many people who love you and care for you. So why me?" I ask him and he smiles gently.
"Because you aren't like any other person." Maou said and he kissed me sweetly.
"Why do you have to be so cute?" I asked and he gave me a look.
"Be serious." Maou said smiling.
"Okay. Okay. Do you think I'm a leech? Like, do you think I mooch off of you?"
"No. I'm letting you live here because I love you. You shouldn't have to jump through hoops to keep staying here like they want you to. What else?"
"Why didn't you want anyone to know about us?" I asked and I held my breath while I waited for his response.
"I... You should know."
"Well I don't." I paused and I felt my heart racing and I looked at the ground. "Were you ashamed of dating me?" I barely even mumble.
"What? No of course not. Why would you think that?" Maou asked me.
"You never told me why. You told Emi that it was none of her business... but I don't really believe that's true. If you loved me, you would want to tell the world. Is it because we're guys... or is it because its me?" I asked and I felt my eyes water. I would break if it was because of me.
"Babe. Of course it's not because of you. I do love you... it's just that... " Maou paused and I looked up at him.
"Well?" I say and my voice cracked. He went and held me closer to him.
"Don't cry." Maou said and wiped my eye.
"I'm not crying." I say and he smiled.
"I do love you. Don't ever think otherwise." Maou said.
"I know you do. I think now that you're just avoiding the question."
"Of course not." Maou said.
"Then why didn't you tell them?" I asked again.
"Why didn't you?" Maou said and I frowned.
"This is why I think you were ashamed of dating me before."
"I didn't know if they were gonna accept me." Maou blurted out.
"You? If they were gonna accept you? Just you? What about me? Do you only think about yourself?" I asked harshly.
"I don't just think about myself. I think about you all the time." Maou said.
"About how you wanna fuck me. You don't think about anything other than that." I yelled.
"You always make sex jokes and you're accusing me of thinking that's the only thing I think about?!" He yelled back.
"You always wanted to have sex when we were left by ourselves!"
"Don't you think you're overreacting a little?"
"You think I'm overreacting? I'm gonna knock your ass out." I growl at him.
"Fight me then. I'll win the first round." Maou said and I glared at him. "Damn, you're so bitchy I think it might be good for you."
"Hostile much?" I say to him.
"Annoying much? Damn. Nobody can ever hold a conversation with you without you either yelling at them or crying. You're a fucking bitch." Maou yelled at me and I slapped him across the face.
"I'm not a bitch!" I scream at him and I ran out the door.
"Come back here I wasn't finished talking to you!" Maou yelled at me.
I hit the bottom on the stairs and yelled, "Well I am! I fucking hate you!" I ran off, not even bother turning back to see if he was chasing after me. Probably not. I turned the corner and saw Ashiya and Suzuno walking along with Emi.
"Lucifer?!" Suzuno said and I pushed past them.
"Wait- hey!" Suzuno called out to me but I wasn't stopping anytime soon. I just wanted to leave.
A/N: So, I'm back after a month, my procrastination of anything and everything is killing my life and school. I am 95% sure that I failed 3 of my high school classes this semester. Hopefully I'll be able to pass the finals. That's on December 3 so if I get slow on updating again it's because I'm either studying (probably not) or my mom killed me because I'm failing school. Do you like this chapter? Yes? No? Please tell me!
Until next time~
