Chapter Eleven - A Blast (Or Two) From The Past
"Oh, what if Emi crashes the party?"
"Unlikely. I don't think even she has the heart to crash a high school dance."
"I strongly believe she does. She's pure evil."
Holy hell, you are such a fucking idiot.
"... No. You're overreacting. Big time."
Very big time.
"Me? Overreact? Nonsense!"
I try to stop myself from laughing, but that ends up being entirely impossible.
I fall from my position in front of the computer and onto the floor.
This is probably the most hysterical I've been in decades.
"Why on earth are you laughing, Urushihara? This isn't funny."
"Are you kidding? It's hilarious! Hell, this may not be the worst overreaction coming from you, but seriously, Tyra Banks doesn't throw tantrums compared to yours."
"Oh really? Name one time I've had an overreacted overreaction."
"Well,"
It was a nice day out.
The sun was shining, the birds were chirping...
I hated it.
"Oi, Your Royal Pain-In-The-Ass, I'd like to blow some shit up, set some buildings on fire.."
"Hm, that does sound fun, Lucifer, but we have more important things to do."
"What could possibly be more important than destroying people's lives?"
"We'll still be destroying people's lives, but you know we have a system."
"Fuck the damn system, I want to destroy this city."
"Don't disrespect your king, Lucifer. He will kick you out of your position."
"Yeah yeah, whatever Alciel."
"Don't you 'whatever' me. I am in a higher position than you!"
"And that makes you ever so horrifying. Excuse me while I scream my head off and run for my life."
"Stop messing around. Both of you, back to work."
"Yes, Sire."
"Whatever."
I went back to training the soldiers.
Yeah, I thought about wreaking havoc in the current place we were in (wherever it was), but I didn't, so that makes me a good person, right?
Right?
Anyways, I heard a crash somewhere throughout the castle, so I of course went to investigate.
Hey, curiosity gets the best of everyone.
I then heard frantic screaming and found out that it was none other than the shemale itself, Alciel.
I thought I was supposed to be the King of Destruction, but fuck did I think wrong.
The entire kitchen looked chaotic.
Pots, pans, silverware, china, you name it, were scattered across the tile, a lot of it broken or severely damaged.
"What the hell is all this about?" I ask.
Alciel points to the raw meat sitting on the cutting board.
I approach the uncooked animal and almost fall into a seemingly bottomless pit of laughter.
"You're seriously throwing a fit over not slicing meat properly?"
Alciel nods, his face red with anger.
"That's fucking hilarious!" I say, ending up laughing.
"It is not 'hilarious', Sire will be so disappointed in me!"
I continue laughing, toppling over.
"Stop laughing!"
"I.. I'm sorry, I.. Okay, I'm not sorry. It is so fucking stupid and funny how you think that your precious King will be disappointed because you improperly cut his dinner. I know he's picky as fuck, but really, you're overreacting."
"Overreacting? Me? No, I don't overreact."
"Mhm. Yeah. Because what just happened wasn't the ace example of overreacting about something."
"Yes."
"I was being sarcas- Never mind. Carry on with your life. Have fun cleaning up."
"Um, you're going to help me, right Lucifer?"
"Why should I? I didn't make this mess. I'm not the one who overreacts about a dead animal."
"Well you could at least give me advice."
"Advice?"
"What should I do with this.. disgrace."
"I don't know, give it to someone else? Feed it to the hounds? Chuck it? Do whatever the hell you please, this is all your problem."
I left him be, snickering to myself.
"That wasn't overreacting!"
"Are you serious? Are you fucking serious?"
"Yes, I am serious."
"You don't seem serious. If you were serious, you would admit that you were overreacting."
"I can be serious and deny the fact that I am a drama queen."
"So are you finally admitting it, or..?"
"No. I am not admitting to anything."
"So you won't admit to the fact that you go to the library everyday to read teenage romance novels?"
"How did you know that?"
"Just as I suspected. Your mind is fragile, like a toddler's. You'll admit anything so long as it isn't straight forward."
"What are you hinting at?"
"I am hinting that you are naive as fuck."
"I knew that as soon as I came home, the first thing I'd hear would be arguing." Maou sighs, closing the door behind him.
"Oh, Sire, how was it? Are you hungry? Did anything bad happen? Did you kiss her? Tell me everything."
"Dude, chill. I can't listen when you talk faster then the speed of light."
"I'll skip to the important part, then. Did you kiss her?"
I take this as my cue to turn back to the screen in front of me, shaming myself for almost wanting to cry.
"Um, no. That'd be weird. Kissing your co-worker is like kissing your sister."
That's a pretty fucking bad example for this situation...
"Yes, of course, Sire. Are you hungry?"
"I'm fine."
Hell yes you are.
...Bad joke?
He tightens his grip on my hands.
"Promise me you won't forget me." he whispers.
"How could I ever?" I whisper back, removing my hands from his and pulling him into a hug.
"I don't want you to leave Heaven, Lucifer.. I want you to stay.."
"I'm so sorry, Gabe. I'm going to work for Satan. I don't care about getting thrown out."
"You can't leave. Only because he promised you wings? That's not a reason to go!"
"It's so much more than that."
"Then, what's the reason?"
"I... No. You'd hate me even more if you found out."
"I don't think it's possible for me to hate you more than I do at the moment, Luci."
I stay silent, staring into Gabriel's tear-fillled eyes.
"I hope you're happy with yourself.."
"I am, Gabe.. I am absolutely proud of this decision."
"Urushihara." Ashiya says in an annoyed tone, snapping me out of my flashback.
"Huh?"
"You were in some sort of trance or something," Maou says. "We were getting kind of worried."
'We.'
'Worried.'
Whatever.
"I'm fine." I say reassuringly, continuing to read an article about the Bermuda Triangle.
This is probably the longest chapter I've written, lengthwise. (Keyword probably)
I'm ecstatic about this chapter because I finally sat down for more than a minute or two and wrote without getting too distracted.
I'd not the slightest idea where this is going, it just came to me and now I need to figure out how to carry it on...
It's hella good though, so I don't mind too much.
Hopefully I can start writing more lengthy chapters. ^_^
Until next time,
Stay beautiful~
