Chapter Two: Trixie and her best friend
Trixie concentrated on the TV screen while waiting for Maze to finish her call. Since her mother left her with Maze early that morning the little girl has been thinking how to talk to the demoness what she needed. It was difficult to concentrate on your favorite movie when all she could think was to convince Maze to go to Lucifer's house the next day.
She was brought back to the real world when she felt the couch dip beside her and Maze's bored voice speak.
"Aren't you tired of watching this?" She pointed at the TV screen where Moana was singing her heart out about who she was. Maze would never admit, but Moana was her favorite movie too, the character quest to discover who she was, was too familiar to her.
Trixie turned around and shrugged. "I like it."
Maze also shrugged as an answer and looked at the screen grabbing a chips package and grabbing a handful of the savory potatoes.
Trixie bit her bottom lip and hummed thinking that the best moment to speak with Maze, was then. She played with the hem of her t-shirt and opened her mouth to speak but was cut by Maze.
"Okay, you are creeping me out, Little Human. You've been all day with this face that you want to confess something. So, shoot. I'm not your mother." Maze directed to Trixie one of her gleeful stares, one she just directed to a few people. She was almost sure the child would confess some mischievous thing she did, and Maze was always ready to praise her for those.
Trixie giggled and shook her head.
"I didn't do anything… This time." The young girl grinned, giving the demoness a wink.
Despite the smile that was still in Maze's lips, her eye shone with a bit of disappointment.
"Okay, okay… But still, I want to listen what you want to talk."
Trixie didn't lose time. "Can you come to Lucifer's house tomorrow?"
Maze frowned and tilted her head sideways. "Why?"
She knew the little human was going to be taken care by Lucifer again but was much more a request from both Lucifer and Trixie, not a necessity like the first time. Since that day both Lucifer and the favorite human were close, even exchanging messages. Maze rolled her eyes just at the thought that Lucifer found someone that spoke the same language as him.
"Hum… We want to discuss something with you. He said you would want to know this time." Trixie delivered the words Lucifer said would help convince Maze. "He said he wants to ask you first."
At those words, Maze straightened in her seat and she looked at Trixie with calculating eyes.
"You know, don't you?" Maze's voice was cold, making Trixie flinch and bite her bottom lip again.
"Yes… I always did." At the flicker of fear that she saw passing through Maze's eyes, Trixie smiled. "I don't fear you, you are my best friend!" She grabbed the demoness hand and squeezed. "You are the best of the best person in the world. I am proud to be friends with a demon, the best of all." She said with crescent enthusiasm. "With the most badass attitude and skills! I love you Maze!" She said the last bit while hugging the demoness tight. "Don't go… I will never leave you." She ended with tears in her eyes.
"Oh, Trix…" Maze wrapped her arms around the little human body. When she heard those words from Trixie she was filled with fear, fear to see horror and terror in those soft brown eyes that always looked at her with admiration. She was ready to march to wherever Lucifer was and cut his head off. But those words the little human said to her just eased all the worry she had.
She couldn't afford losing anyone. Not after that.
"You are my best friend too, Little Human." She patted the girl's back a bit awkwardly. Even that know she was much better with human things, she wasn't the most sentimental type either. "I will be there tomorrow." She assured the girl. And in an attempt to comfort Trixie she said: "What do you think of me finally teaching you how to throw a knife like I promised you?"
At those words Trixie shot up with a big grin and shining eyes, all distress gone, only a few tears that were still running down her cheeks.
"Really?"
"Really!" The demoness produced a set of silver knives. "I had these made for you, I think you already deserve your own set. Just don't tell your mother." Maze said with a grin and mischief in her eyes.
"Cool!" Trixie reached for the knives with her eyes shining with happiness. All tears were gone.
"Good. Now let's go, kid, I'm going to teach you how to throw these babies and hit a fly at distance." She said pulling up to her feet followed by a very excited Trixie.
"Can you do that?" Trixie asked with awe in her voice.
"Of course!" Maze replied cockily. "Wanna see?"
Trixie squealed and nodded, making the demoness smile at the child with fondness.
And was that afternoon that Trixie learned how to throw knives. Of course, without her mom even suspect of the feat. Chloe just would learn her daughter's ability years later.
A/N: After the latest episode, I think we needed or dose of Trixie and Maze. I was so heartbroken with that scene… I do understand that Maze is in a really dark place, and she is saying and doing things out of hurt. But she hurt Trixie, man. That was really awful. I hope she realizes her mistake someplace around the end of this season because I can't get enough Trixie and Maze. Honestly.
And one more piece is out~ I hope you like this chapter, that was a little bit Angsty than I had in mind, but well… lol
Next chapter: Linda and her Ex.
See ya soon! Nath :*
