LAMIA

They were at Oga's house, all sitting on the floor, doing one thing or another.

The two boys were playing with Furuichi's fresh bought game, Beel was playing with one of his demoniac toys, Hilda was knitting and Lamia checking her tools.

When the match ended with Oga's victory, the brunette put the console down and wined "I'm hungry~"

A drop of sweat run down Furuichi's cheek, knowing all too well how this was going to end up.

"Hey Furuichi, do something." commanded rather than requested the delinquent.

"What do you mean do something? If you're hungry then go get something to eat." scolded the silver-head.

"Yeah, well…There's nothing downstairs. Yesterday Misaki ate all the snacks." and as he said so, Oga turned towards Furuichi and their eyes met. Furuichi knew that look in the other's eyes.

"If you're going to the store, then buy some milk for Young Master." said Hilda.

"Then I'd like some yogurt." requested Lamia.

"Wait wait wait wait. Who's going?" asked Furuichi, even if he knew that the chances of him going where pretty high.

Oga smirked "Who, you ask. Of course our kind Furuichi-kun will go to get something for all of us!"

"No way, idiot! It's always me going! It's so cold out, I don't want to! And this is Japan so let's decide in a fairer way!" protested the tactician.

The top-delinquent clicked his tongue "Fine. Then let's go with rock-paper-scissors."

The four of them, Beel excluded, played and the one to lose was Lamia.

She was asked by Hilda to buy a few things, while Oga listed her an infinite quantity of snacks he wanted her to buy.

Furuichi sighed "Ok Lamia I'll come with you. There's no way you can carry all that stuff alone."

Lamia was grateful, but still didn't show it "If you really want to come then it can't be helped."

Furuichi rolled his eyes, already used to her tsundere attitude, "Yes yes."

Oga sent them off with a waving hand and a smile, the devilish and idiotic one.

If was a very cold way. The previous night snow fell and covered the whole city in white.

As soon as they passed the gate, they turned right. Lamia was walking with Furuichi on her right, when suddenly, the other pulled her and switched their positions.

Lamia yelped from the surprise "W-what?"

Furuichi only side-glanced her as they kept on walking "You stay near the wall."

Her face showed compete confusion "Why?"

This time his eyes stayed on her for a few some seconds, before focusing in front of him again "It's safer if you stay there. There are cars around and you never know what happens when there's snow."

Lamia's eyes widened «H-he did it for me? For my safety?»

"N-no one asked you to!" said the demon-girl, embarrassed.

They quickly got to the store and went in. They split the endless list that they were given: Lamia was in charge of what she, Hilda and Beel wanted, while Furuichi had to get the stuff for himself and Oga.

After getting everything, they went to the register. The total amount of the shopping was a half-full bag and two very full bags.

When the cashier stated the amount of money due, Lamia opened her purse, ready to get the money out.

"Let me." said Furuichi as he placed a hand over her smaller ones, in order to stop her.

"It's fine I can do at least this much!" protested the girl.

"Just let the older ones spoil you from time to time. Just keep the money Oga gave you to buy something nice. And it's not like what he gave you is enough to pay for all the stuff he wants, the idiot just wanted me to pay as well." sighed the silver-haired human as he took out his wallet and paid.

They got out of the store, with Lamia caring the smallest bag and Furuichi the other two.

As the quietly walked, something cold fell on Furuichi's nose…a small snowflake.

He lifted his grey eyes to the white sky, and indeed, it was snowing.

"It's snowing. Let's hurry." said the demon.

Lamia looked at the other quizzically when, despite her words, he stayed there, gazing at the sky. He looked lost and somehow sad.

She called out to him "Hey-" but stopped when Furuichi snapped back and looked at her apologetically "Oh sorry, sorry. I'm coming."

When they were side by side again, Furuichi said "By the way Lamia..."

"What now?" asked the girl, sounding a bit annoyed but not actually meaning it.

"Here, put this on." Furuichi wrapped the scarf he was wearing around her.

"W-what? I don't need it idiot! What are you doing?" quickly panicked the girl, not getting what was going on.

"You must be cold, right? You're wearing a skirt after all, and it also started snowing so it's colder than earlier."

And as he said that, he also reached out to grab the bag she was holding. "And let me carry that."

She protested, her voice indignant and scolding "Will you stop it? I'm not a child! Don't treat me like one!" her face was red from anger.

Furuichi was taken quite aback from her sudden shouts, but then sighed. «Ah, I know that feeling…when the others treat you like you're helplessly weak and need protection…it's not very pleasant.»

"It's not like that. I'm saying you should take better care of your hands. Aren't you going to be a doctor? I have my gloves, so I'm fine. Hurry and put them in the pockets, a doctor shouldn't hurt their hands." scolded in a kind voice Furuichi.

Lamia said nothing as she obeyed his half-order half-request. She pulled the scarf higher, and hid her face under it. This time the redness of her cheeks was partially because of the cold, but mostly because of embarrassment.

"…Thank…you" muttered the demon-girl before burying her face under the warm cloth.

"What did you said?" asked Furuichi, since he couldn't quite hear what the other said.

"Nothing, idiot!" shouted exasperated the girl.

As they walked in silence, Furuichi spoke up "Hey Lamia, it's not like I want to treat you like a child, but you and Honoka are around the same age so I can't help treating you two the same way."

"I'm not your sister." said quietly the pink-haired girl. She felt her heart tighten when she heard Furuichi's words, but she couldn't get why.

"Yeah. I know you're not a child either. After all, you're going to grow up into a beautiful lady one day. On that topic, I really hope you get your mother's genes! I'm sure you'll be a wonderful doctor, so… when you grow up, don't forget about his useless human here, alright? I'll be lonely."

Lamia looked at him, her eyes fixed on his face…was that expression happy, sad or both? Her big eyes stared at him until he turned to look at her as well.

He smiled at her, one of those cheeky, toothy but sincere smiles of his.

Lamia's mouth opened and closed a few times, until her voice finally came out "I-"

"Furuichi-kun, welcome home~!" Oga was leaning out of the window, his deep and loud voice echoed in the quiet streets.

"Darling, did you get what I asked you to?" teased the brunette all the while wearing an idiotic grin and waving at them.

"Of course, Honey. And since I did such a nice job, next time you'll be the one to go shopping, no matter what!" shouted back the silver-head in counterattack.

Oga could be seen clicking his tongue "Tsk, whatever. Move your slow ass and come in. I'm freezing here." companied Oga as he wrapped his arms around himself, but still not closing the window.

As Furuichi walked towards the entrance, they both continued to bicker pointlessly.

Lamia was a few meters behind Furuichi, and as she looked at his wider back, she whispered "There's no way I would forget you…idiot."


Omake

Oga and Furuichi were playing while eating the snacks the silver-head just bought, and Lamia was staring absentmindedly at them.

Hilda, who was holding Beel and feeding him, noticed this, so she called out to the younger demon "Lamia, is something wrong?"

Shook out of her thoughts, the pink-head jolted, her words came out confused and stuttered "E-eh? No no, w-why do you ask?"

Hilda raised an eyebrow at the other's reaction "You've been staring at them for a while now. Did something happen?"

The assistant-doctor's cheeks became pink "N-no, you see…" she started to play with her fingers as she avoided eye-contact. She looked anywhere but Hilda's general direction, when her eyes landed on Furuichi. She looked at him for a few moments…

"Actually…don't you think Earth is a wonderful place?" said Lamia in a soft and sweet voice.

Hilda blinked a few times, surprised by the other's words. Then she hummed as she went back to her task "If you say so."

The blond demon decided to not comment on the fact that Lamia was actually smiling from ear to ear.
