Author Note: So this one is going to be more cheery and explain the whole "I like Maou but not his demon lord-ness" and there's going to be more Chiho, Lucifer, and Ashiya (I'm not sure how to write Suzuno in here so she may just float by every now and then) so hopefully there are some funny moments too. Well enjoy!
Maou walked back to his apartment, his head was reeling from what had just happened. Shaking off his giddy school boy smile, he walked up the slippery stairs into his apartment where he found Lucifer typing at his computer and Ashiya cleaning.
"There you are sir!" Ashiya popped up, rubbing his hands over his pink, ruffled apron, smoothing it out, "We saved you dinner again,"
"Thanks Ashiya, sorry I was out late again,"
"It's no trouble my lord, I know how busy work must get," Ashiya humbly bowed excused himself to take out the trash
"I thought you got off work early today," Lucifer said in a monotone voice
"I decided to walk around for a little while, get some fresh air," Maou lied, shoving noodles into his mouth
"If that's what you want to say happened, then fine," Lucifer nonchalantly replied, causing Maou to raise his eyebrows and halt the slurping of noodles
"What do you mean?" Maou played stupid
"All I'm saying is that if you want to hang out with a certain," Lucifer turned his head and smirked, "hero," with that Maou's eyes kind of bugged and he choked on his noodles, "then that's none of my business," turning back to his computer he resumed typing away. The Demon Lord furiously coughed, falling onto the floor,
"It's not like that!" he managed to sputter out. Lucifer let out a slight chuckle at how defensive he got over the subject. As Maou was still coughing, Ashiya walked into the room and immediately threw himself at Maou
"My Lord! What seems to be the trouble? Do you need assistance?"
"No…" he cleared his throat and sat up, "I'm fine now, I just choked a little bit," he shot a glare at Lucifer and wiped his mouth. Lucifer saw the glare through the computer's reflection and merely smirked. Ashiya moved on and proceeded to tell Maou all about his day and different ways to cook noodles and wash clothes, Maou just sat there, trying to focus on the words coming out of his mouth
"… and then I figured, with this knowledge, we could easily destroy the first half of the city, as soon as you get another promotion that is," Maou snapped his head to attention at those words and thought of what Emi said about liking his good side,
"You know Ashiya," Maou chimed in, "Maybe we should hold off on that plan until we have better resources," looking for a way out he glanced around the tiny apartment, "for starters we should focus on getting a larger house,"
"Excellent idea my Lord, a bigger castle could mean bigger plans…" Ashiya rambled off again and switched subjects completely and addressed everything from what they would eat to the decorating scheme of this hypothetical 'demon castle' that would probably never exist. It was about midnight before two of the three demons fell asleep. Lucifer, still awake, glanced at a snoring Maou before shaking his head slightly and turning off the glowing computer.
The Next Morning
"Good morning Mr. Maou!" Chiho cheerfully called from behind the MgRonald's counter as Maou walked in the front door,
"Hello Chiho" Maou greeted with a smile, "How are you this morning?"
"I'm great!" she gave him a cute smile, "How are you, sir?"
"I'm doing great too," he put on his MgRonald's visor which caused his hair to ruffle into messy clumps. Chiho blushed as she watched him run his hands through his hair, smoothing it out and untangling the strands. Quickly turning away as the sound of someone walking in the door, she greeted them with a standard 'MgRonald's' welcome.
"Good morning sir, and welcome to MgRonald's how may I help you?" after taking his order, it was only a couple minutes before his food came out on a tray, "Here you go, thank you and come again!" she called out, hoping Maou was looking, she did a little calf raise, causing all of her to bounce slightly. Maou didn't even turn as he was taking the order of the woman in front of him, but the man who grabbed the tray added some change to the tip jar on the counter and with red cheeks, quickly walked away. Chiho's eyes widened with embarrassment that caused her to grow three new shades of red. The day continued like normal, with Maou unaware to all of the chesty girl's flirts and attempts at making him notice her. He always assumed that she was just being nice. Close to closing time, Maou and Chiho were the only ones left in the store, he sent the rest of the workers home because of the slow day, he tried to send Chiho home, but she refused to leave. Knowing her stubbornness, he decided it wouldn't hurt to have one other person here and let her stay. He went into the back to start closing up shop. Chiho was counting the cash in her register when the door closed, signaling another customer,
"Good morning ma'am, welcome to MgRonald's, how may I help you?" Chiho looked up from the register and saw a familiar red haired hero standing somewhat awkwardly in front of her, "Oh hi Emi!" she cheerfully greeted. Emi forgot that Chiho worked her and found herself feeling a familiar heat rise to her cheeks, "I didn't know you liked eating here!" she obliviously smiled
"Well I forgot to eat dinner, so I just figured I'd come here," she explaned, trying to make it seem logical to why she would show up to her 'sworn enemy's' workplace
"Aw, well what can I get for you?"
"Just a coffee, and um, maybe a hamburger?" Emi questioned unsure of what was even on the menu
"I'll get that right out for you!" Chiho smiled and walked into the back to quickly make the food. Maou walked out of the storage room and his heart stopped when he saw Emi standing by the counter, waiting for the food. Looking back at Chiho, he let out a disappointed sigh when he realized that they'd have to pretend to be enemies,
"Hello Emi," Maou tried to sound cold as he greeted her
"Hello Maou," Emi returned his cold greeting with an even icier reply. He flashed a secret smile to make sure she knew he didn't mean any of this. Emi melted a bit at his smile, and looking over his shoulder to make sure Chiho couldn't see, she lifted herself up using the counter and quickly kissed Maou. Returning to her original position, Emi resumed her cold demeanor as Chiho brought out her food. Maou's face was frozen in a pink hue of surprise and when he tried to walk away, he found that his feet felt heavier than normal and stumbled into the employee's room. Leaving a snickering Emi and a confused Chiho,
"He's been acting weird all day," Chiho said nervously, "I'm not sure what's gotten into him,"
"He always looks like a goof to me," Emi said, trying to sound mean. Chiho thought about it for a moment and glanced over at the hero, who was munching on her burger,
"Emi, can I ask you for advice?"
"Of course, you can ask me anything," she said between bites
"How am I supposed to get a guy to notice me?" Chiho almost wailed, "I try to be nice and act cute, I've even tried wearing push up bras, but nothing!" Emi thought about Chiho in a push up bra and then looked down at her own small breasts, "I've never seen him with another girl, so I assume he's not dating anyone, but he won't even think of me as anything but a friend," she pouted and folded her arms, "Mr. Maou is so hard to understand," Emi was with her up until that point, she knew Chiho liked Maou, but how was she supposed to give advice to her about a guy who liked someone else without throwing herself under the bus?
"Um, well I'm not very good with guys," Emi started to speak, "But if you really like him, maybe you should just tell him instead of hinting at it,"
"What if he doesn't like me back?"
"You are preaching to the choir," Emi thought to herself
"What if he's so appalled by me liking him that he quits?" Chiho was rattling off impossible scenarios that existed in her school girl mind
"Now that's ridiculous," Emi looked up at the girl, "You are a bright and beautiful girl, Chiho, any guy would be lucky to have you," letting out a little squeal, the busty girl hugged Emi
"You're such a good friend, thank you," Maou walked out of the room and looked over at the young girl holding his girl.
"My girl," he thought, "I like that sound of that," walking over to the duo, he thought of something very demon lord-like to say that wouldn't raise any suspicion, "She's not saying anything bad about me, right?" he mentally slapped himself in the head at how lame that sounded
"Oh, hi Mr. Maou, we were just talking about girl stuff," Chiho giggled
"I better go, it's late," Emi glanced away from Maou's stare and picked up her bag, purposely leaving her wallet on the seat, "Goodnight Chiho," she paused and let out a sigh, "Bye Maou," and with that she walked out the door into the night. Chiho began a small conversation with Maou about her school as the two cleaned and closed the store. Maou was wiping down the seats when he saw Emi's wallet sitting on the red leather cushion. Realizing her plan, he smiled to himself and walked over to Chiho,
"Emi left her wallet here," he tossed the wallet onto the counter
"Oh! We better give it to her before she needs it,"
"She can pick it up tomorrow," Maou said, trying to sound indifferent about helping her
"Nonsense, she has to work in the morning! I can run by her house tomorrow and give it to her before school," the girl smiled
"I wouldn't want you to be late Chiho, I can drop it off on my way home tonight," Maou smiled, gently rubbing the girl's hair, much to her delight
"You're such a good person Maou," she happily replied. Letting out a grin, Maou ushered the girl out the door and he switched off the lights before locking the door. Walking the general direction to both Chiho and Emi's house, at the corner where they parted ways Chiho launched a hug at a very surprised Maou,
"Goodnight Mr. Maou, thank you for walking me home,"
"Um, it's no problem Chiho, if anything happens, just call me," he smiled and patted the girl on the shoulders as she let go of his waist. Walking away with pink cheeks, Chiho returned home to daydream about her and Maou's wedding. Maou, on the other hand, walked through the dark streets and upon getting to Emi's apartment, knocked twice on her door. He was in complete shock when she opened up the door in her pajamas, which happened to just be a long t-shirt that barely reached her mid-thigh. Trying not to stare, he started to sweat and tensed up. Emi let out a little laugh and pulled Maou inside.
"What took you so long?" she casually asked, plopping herself on the couch
"I… I uh… um I had to close… the shop?" Maou, unable to form coherent sentences, still stood by the door in her apartment staring as Emi walked passed him in her short night shirt. Smiling at the effect she had on him, Emi gestured with her head to the couch, signaling for Maou to sit by her. He stumbled over and sat an awkward length away, causing Emi to frown,
"What's wrong Maou," she slightly purred, scooting closer to him
"Nothing… I-" cut off by Emi's lips he started to finally relax. He released his clenched hands and caressed her face, tasting her lips with his. She smiled into the kiss and drew back, much to Maou's disappointment,
"I've wanted to do that all day," she admitted with a bit of a blush
"Really?" he asked unsure whether to be proud or surprised. She nodded and he pulled her back to his lips. Falling onto his back with Emi on top of him, their tongues fought for dominance, with Emi eventually giving up and letting Maou take control. Seizing the opportunity, he wrapped his hand around her lower back and without missing the beat, swirled her around so that she was now on her back. She laced her fingers through his smooth hair as his tongue continued his assault on her mouth. Removing himself from her mouth, he noticed her breathing heavy and slightly panting, smiling at his accomplishment, he moved down to her neck and placed light kisses on her neck before moving her shirt down her shoulder and kissing her collar bone, producing slight squeaks as he gently nibbled at her skin. Maou didn't dare look at the clock, but when he heard his phone ring, he paused and a groan of disapproval escaped both their mouths.
"Hello?" Maou answered a little angry at the interruption
"My Lord! It's almost midnight, where are you?" a concerned Ashiya almost yelled
"I stayed late at the store, there was something I needed to take care of," he glanced over at Emi who was sneaking her way up to his exposed neck
"I was so worried, even Lucifer thought something might be wrong," Ashiya's voice was flooded with relief. Emi started to gently kiss his neck and he tried his best to stifle a groan, "even Lucifer thought something was wrong," Emi bit down slightly, causing a surge of heat to run through his body
"Er… Lucifer?" Maou questioned, trying to ignore the gorgeous red haired girl sucking at his neck,
"Yes, Lucifer said he worried you and Emi might be fighting, for some reason," Maou was forced back to reality at that comment and sensing his discomfort, Emi stopped
"Well, I'm fine, I haven't seen her in a while," he lied, "I'll be home soon," without saying goodbye, he closed his phone and pushed it back into his pocket and looked into the girl's lustful eyes, "I have to go,"
"I figured," Emi sighed and pulled her shirt back to where it was supposed to be, hiding the love bite that Maou gave her,
"I'm really sorry, I would love to stay," he looked her up and down once more, "really love to stay,"
"But you can't, I understand," Emi finished his sentence and led him to the door. Grabbing his face, she pulled him down for one last kiss before he walked out of her small apartment, "Goodnight Maou," she closed the door and walked to her bed. Maou stared at the door for a few moments longer and walked home.
"I am going to give Lucifer hell when I get back," he angrily muttered under his breath.
Ok so this may be more than T rating, I'm not really sure how the rating system works, I read a bunch of different things. Anyways, I hope you guys liked it!
