Whis and Nyx landed in front of the castle and Whis conjured the bag of groceries. Nyx grabs the bag and teleports to her room. She quickly strips her clothes off and takes a shower. Finally she gets in the shower and the water comes on the perfect temp as usual. It was one of the few times she was willing to shower without music. It didnt take long for her to wash her short hair. She scrubbed her body and rinsed herself off. She hurried up, hopped out the shower, and opened the new pack of pads she had. She forgot to get her clothes from her drawer, so she had to walk out of the bathroom to grab them. She began to rummage around when she heard a knock at the door.
"Nyx, Lord Beerus said that he wants to speak with you later." Whis yelled.
"Ok I'll be out in a sec." She got on her sweat pants and blue t-shirt, and rubbed her hair with a towel. Her phone was on her bed so she grabbed it real quick and checked it. Of course there were no notifications from her social media, reading, or texting apps. She had 96% so she shoved her phone in her pocket. She grabbed the pack of red velvet oreos at the last second.
She flung her door open and ran down the stairs. It wasn't long before she got to the bottom and rushed to the dining room.
When Nyx arrived she was greeted with Whis sitting at the table eating what appeared to be cake.
"Where's Beerus?"
"My lord is in the bath currently. I told him that it wouldn't be proper to say hello smelling like he did." Whis took another bite.
"Hey, don't eat that. I thought you wanted to try these?" Nyx peeled back the plastic opening and took out a cookie. Whis dropped his fork and shot over to Nyx and took the cookie from her hand.
"Hmmm, why is it red?"
"Cause it's red velvet. Eat it!" She pushed his hand and put the whole cookie in his mouth. Instantly his eyes lit up.
"Oh these are simply fantastic!" He took the whole container and popped another one in his mouth.
"Hey! Give those back!" Nyx tried to grab for them but Whis took his hand back at the last second.
"Not a chance. These are delicious!" He ate another one. His back was turned to Nyx so she took a golden opportunity. She jumped on his back and wrapped her legs around his waist. With her free hands she grabbed his arm and tried to get the cookies. They were both giggling at this point.
"Whis come on!" Nyx grabbed at the cookies again.
Whis was about to respond when they heard someone clear their throat behind them.
"What is going on?" Nyx saw Beerus standing in the doorway and she smiled.
"Wanna help me get my cookies back? Whis took them and won't give them back."
"They are divine! My lord if you had one you wouldn't want to give them back either." Whis had a fake serious face on and Nyx was still giggling.
The sight of Nyx around Whis's waist, both if them laughing, and Nyx feeling so at ease around Whis made him unusually angry. He didn't understand why.
"Wouldn't you say you are acting a bit childish for your age Whis?" Beerus scolded his attendant.
"My lord, w-" Whis began to talk but Nyx cut him off.
"Look, you can be mad at me for earlier. I don't care about that, but I won't let you push around my friend. Even if you are his lord." Nyx grabbed her cookies back, got off of Whis, and was standing in front of him. Beerus was visibly relieved when he heard Nyx call Whis friend. Unfortunately for him, she noticed the reaction.
"Wait. You were jealous!" Nyx was smiling again. Beerus on the other hand was turning red.
"Why would I be jealous?"
"Hell if I know. But I know what jealous looks like." Nyx crossed her arms and smirked.
"I have no reason to be jealous." Beerus was still blushing so his argument wasn't very strong.
Nyx walked over to him.
"Ok, ever so powerful Lord Beerus, Destroyer of Universe 7. There could be no possible way for you to be jealous. Now, cookie?" She held out the container to him and he turned his head away comically. "Oh, well I guess Whis and I will eat them all." She turned to the angel and grabbed his hand. "Wanna go to my room and binge eat these?"
"That sounds wonderful!" Whis's face lights up.
"Wait!" Beerus struggled to think of an excuse to get a cookie. "I just remembered that as the God of Destruction, I am required to taste all food in the universe."
"My lord, that is not at all a requirement as God of Destruction."
"Well, it is now in Universe 7!"
Nyx busted out laughing and both deities turned to look at her. She was almost in tears with how hard she's laughing and she doesn't care.
"You guys are so ridiculous." She wheezed out. When she finally somewhat gathered her composure, she looked at Beerus. "You guys can have the cookies. I just wanted a few. I love them, but a little goes a long way."
"You were rather adamant on me giving them back. Are you sure you want to give them up?" Whis did his cute head tilt and Nyx smiled.
"Yea I'm sure." She grabbed 5 from the container and handed the rest to Whis. "Enjoy!" She began to walk to her room when she heard Whis open the container and shove a cookie in his mouth.
"She gave them to both of us Whis. That means you gotta share!"
"You can have some if you can get them!" Whis sang.
Nyx began to climb the stairs to her room and started to hum. She had a surprisingly good day. It may have stared off rough with Beerus, but it smoothed out. Seeing Luna was a definite plus to it all. She reached her room and opened the door. Her wine was on her bed and she was excited to open it. It was time for her to relax. She took off her clothes and slipped into a short night dress. It was made of a light blue stretchy material, and had lace at the top of the V-neck. It went to the top of her thigh and was just enough to cover her posterior.
When she was changed, she turned on her music and sat in bed. She had a few books downloaded on her phone, so she opened the first book of her favorite series and began to read. It was about 7 pages into her book that she opened her wine. She could instantly smell the sweet aroma. Looking around she saw a platter with brandy and some glasses. It wasn't wine glasses, but it didn't matter to her. She got up and grabbed one. The cup was full when Nyx took her first sip. Well more like gulp. She downed the glass without hesitation and soon poured another.
Nyx had completely forgotten her book at this point and was just focused on the cake flavor. It was after her third glass, or most of the bottle, that she began to realize that she was buzzed. She was about to pour her fourth glass when she heard a knock on her door.
"Yup." She shouted at the door. The person on the other side opened it slowly, and immediately saw Nyx standing up, pouring another glass of wine. "Beerus! Hi! Sorry I was just getting wine drunk." She waved the bottle in the air haphazardly. "I would ask you to join, but I think i just poured the last glass." She tilted the bottle over her head and a few drops landed in her mouth.
"I think you've had enough to drink." He walked over to where she was and tried to take the glass.
"No! It's not enough until it's gone silly!" She took the glass back and chugged it down before he could react. "Now it's enough." He could smell the alcohol on her breath.
"How could a human drink that much alcohol?" He said to no one in particular.
"Cause daddy didn't raise a bitch." She put her hands on her hips and went to step forward, but her body wasn't having it. She began to fall but grabbed onto Beerus. He caught her around her waist and could feel lines under her gown. That's when he noticed how little she was wearing. "I'm sorry!" She regained her balance eventually, but when she did she saw the god staring at her. "Are you mad?" In her drunken state, she couldn't read any emotion she usually could read.
"No. Not at all it's just..." he trailed off. "Your eyes look like the most beautiful galaxies I've ever witnessed." He realized what he said and instantly regretted it. Nyx couldn't tell and just smiled.
"Well you know what, your eyes look like full moons on a beautiful night."
"You're just saying that because your drunk."
"No silly." She booped his nose. "I'm saying that because it's true." Beerus's grip on her waist tightened. "Let's play a game." She still had her hands on his shoulders and they were only half a foot apart.
"Depends on what game it is."
"I ask you a question, you ask me a question." She smiled innocently, but that couldn't be farther from the truth.
"Ok, but I go first."
"Deal. Can we sit though. I'm not gonna lie," she leaned in and whispered in his ear, "I'm kinda drunk." Beerus chuckled.
"You don't say." He picked her up with a yelp and brought her to the bed. He layed her down and sat on the edge. "Now, why were you so adamant on going to Earth?"
"I needed to buy something from the store." She got under the blankets as she spoke.
"What was it?"
"Hey it's my turn! That's 2 questions!" Nyx shouted and Beerus sighed.
"Fine."
"Ok, um, oh I got it!" She sat up and narrowed her eyes. "Why were you jealous of Whis and I playing earlier?" Beerus began to blush. Unfortunately for him Nyx acts caught it this time.
"I wasn't." He said quietly.
"You can't lie. That's cheating." She waved a finger in his face.
"I'm not-" he was cut off by her finger being pressed to his face.
"I think it's because," she dropped her volume a bit to say the last part, "you have a crush on me." She began to giggle and Beerus's face reddened even more.
"I'm not jealous. End of story." He crossed his arms and raised his head.
"Fine, fine. Don't be a pussy." She laughed at her own pun. "Get it. Your a cat. Pussy." She laughed even harder.
"Why do you want me to admit that I enjoy your company?" He looked at her and her laughter ceased.
"I just wanted you to admit the truth. Which I believe you just did." She smirked. "And while I don't like you romantically, I do think you are a good friend. Even though you can be a major ass." Beerus Beerus heart dropped a bit but he managed to hide it.
"Hey! I didn't admit to anything! And its not very nice to call a god an ass."
"Well I'm not nice, am I?" She yawned and rubbed her eyes. "As much as I like this game thing, this wine is making me a bit woozy. I think I'm gonna hit the hay." She turned over in her bed and closed her eyes. She didn't care the Beerus was still there. Partially cause her judgement was impaired, and mostly because she had grown to trust him. It wasn't a minute before she drifted off to sleep and Beerus was left sitting there, watching her methodically breathing. She looked so vulnerable, innocent, and beautiful in her sleep. He impulsively reached out and gently stroked her blue hair. It was softer than the blankets she was under.
He stayed there for half an hour, watching her, lost in thought. He imagined things that he never thought he would.
He wondered how she would respond to being the next God of Destruction. He imagined her living a normal life. He imagined himself lying next to her. The one thing that caught him off guard was how her imagined how she would sound saying "I love you."
Finally he stood up and thought it time to leave. If she or Whis saw him, he wouldn't stop being scolded.
He reluctantly walked to the door and took one look at her before he left out. The thought of her, every subtle thing she did, made him fall deeper into the rabbit hole.
But he didn't even know he went off the edge.
