It wasn't easy to get the little human to let go, but Lutz managed. After assuring feliciano that he was fine and didn't want to discuss it just yet, the Italian hugged him once more, sobbing into his chest.

Great.

Was it necessary to stay with this man while Lutz stirred up trouble? No, not at all. Would it be easier? Probably not. He shoved Feliciano off him, frowning. "I don't want to talk about it, alright?!" His deep voice was laced with malice, and he could see the stunned and trembling man before him take a step or two away from him.

"Luddy..please tell me what's wrong...!" He begged. Lutz furrowed his brow. Even after that small display of violence and frustration this guy wouldn't give up?!

"I'm just stressed, alright?" The blond finally answered. "I'm tired, I just need to get some rest. The kids I teach'll be having a week long break from school in a couple'a days and they're getting excited,rowdy, and really hard to deal with. If you'd stop hanging off my arm like some kind of attention starved brat then maybe I'd be able to get some rest!" Lutz then paused, a different idea coming to him. He put a hand underneath the trembling italian's chin, looking him in the eye. "I understand that you're very angry right now, but I think if we get some sleep then you'll feel better. Ok? Go to sleep."

Nodding with a small from, feliciano pushed his hand away. The brunet gave him one last look before heading into their shared bedroom.

Lutz showered, ate some cake that Ludwig had left in the fridge, and finally collapsed onto the Queen sized bed, occupying the part of the bed that feliciano wasn't sleeping on. One notable thing was that feliciano didn't move to hug Lutz when the other man got into bed. His back remained facing the German and his breaths sounded harsh, as though he was having difficulty sleeping.

The demon smirked, shutting his eyes. Humans were so open to suggestion, one firm insistence that he was getting angry and feliciano had already lost any trace of any emotion other than anger. It was strange, really. Humans were just so easy to influence.

Short chapter! I'm horrible at updating but this is better than nothing, right? A little look into Lutz' demonic ability to influence human's emotions- a necessary skill if you're a trickster like Lutz is!
