Chapter 1: The Summon

Worn out from studying, Fran takes off her glasses. She checks the time on the clock. 3:06am, it reads. She takes a deep sigh and slowly makes her way through the kitchen. She rubs her tired hazel eyes and fixes her hair bun. She checks the fridge for anything sweet. All that studying burned out all her glucose and she needs her sugar fix ASAP. Eyeing the box of pancakes on her cupboard, she closes the fridge and grabs the box. Well, whatever. It's almost time for breakfast anyway. She starts cooking the pancakes and hums to the tune of Greedy by Tate McRae. I should stop watching too much tiktoks..

After a few minutes, the pancakes are now cooked and she sets it on the table. Fran opens the fridge and grabs the maple syrup. She grabs the butter knife that was sitting on her counter. God knows how long its been there. She rubs the butter knife clean onto her hoodie as she plops down the chair.

Hehe. I'm gonna form one of those demon-calling star symbols. She chuckles to herself as she pours the syrup onto the pancakes. She grabs the butter knife in order to spread the syrup evenly when suddenly, she cuts one of her fingers and a drop of blood fell onto the pancakes. Huh? This knife isn't sharp at all. Strange.

Suddenly, all the lights in her apartment went all off. Is it a blackout? She gasped when the lights suddenly turned on all at once and a strange figure is seen standing in the middle of the kitchen.

"A college student, huh?" The figure says as it turns around and faces her. Its mysterious blue eyes shone through its sunglasses. It fixes its black shirt and dusts off its baggy pants as it stares at her. It looks around the room and spots her books. "Oh, a law student."

Fran, with her mouth still wide open from the shock, points the butter knife at the figure. "Who the hell are you?! How did you get in here?!" she said, breathlessly.

"I'm a demon aaaand you just summoned me. Congrats" it said nonchalantly.

"What?! Demon?! Summon?!" were the only words that could come out of her mouth. The demon pursed its lips to point to the pancakes and the syrup that had mysteriously formed a symbol and is now blood-red.

"Wha-"

"You summoned me using that. Strange, I know" it said in an exasperated tone. "I don't know how you did it but well done, Lady."

"What? No! I most certainly did NOT summon you" Fran said. Still raising the blunt butter knife towards the strange figure.

"Look. We can do this aaaaaaaaaall night" it said as it slowly makes its way towards her. "Or you could give me a task and I'll be on my way" it smirked as it pushed the butter knife away.

Dumbfounded, Fran stared at the strange figure in front of her. Its face just inches away from hers. I must be really going crazy if I think that this dude is really reaaaaaally hot!

"Yeah, I get that a lot" it said, as if reading her mind. It turns around and plops itself onto the other chair in the kitchen.

"Look. I know I must be really tired and I'm being delusional" Fran said as she rubs her temples. "Judging from your outfit, you must be a homeless burglar that snuck in during that short power shortage."

It said nothing. A small chuckle escapes its lips as it stared at Fran.

"There is nothing to steal from this apartment. My fridge is older than me, some of the keys on my laptop do not work, I have no money and I work 2 jobs just to pay rent" Fran said as she grabs the pancake with the blood-stained syrup. She throws the pancake and says, "You can eat the rest and you can go. There's water in the fridge if you need some. I'm going to bed. I have to go to work at 7am." She says as she makes her way to her bedroom.

The figure says nothing, as it stared at her in disbelief.

Without a care in the world, Fran throws herself onto the bed and immediately falls asleep. Soft snores soon escaped from her mouth. The figure makes its way to her.

"Oy. Lady!" it said in an irritated tone as it poked her cheek. "Wake up!" she doesn't budge at all. Defeated, it sighed as it sat on the foot of her bed.

This apartment is really small. AND dirty. I can't believe a LADY lives here! Spotting a broom and a dustpan, the figure decides to clean up the apartment. After sweeping the whole apartment, it makes its way to the kitchen sink. Even the dishes are piling up! What a pigsty! It let out a deep sigh. Conjuring pink dishwashing gloves, it started to wash the dirty dishes in the sink. Putting away the dishes onto the drying rack, it started to walk towards the dining table. Demons don't eat human food. How stupid can this lady get?! With one click of its finger, the pancakes disappear. Sigh, its almost 6am. It stared at the clock. I should just get breakfast started. Another sigh escaped its lips as it conjured ingredients for an egg fried rice with a click of its finger.

Smelling something good, Fran woke up and groggily made her way to the kitchen. Her hair disheveled and drool was clearly on her hoodie. Food was set on the table. It was egg fried rice and a cup of coffee.

Disgusted at the sight, the figure scrunched its nose. It said nothing as it stared at her. Fran stared back. After a few seconds, Fran finally realized it. The strange figure was still there!

"Wait! I thought I told you to leave?! What are you still doing here?!"

The figure let out a sigh for the nth time of the day. "I told you. YOU summoned ME" pointing to itself to make a point.

"I did NOT!" Fran shouted, her stomach growling because of the scent.

"Look sit down. Eat and then talk" it said commandingly. The blushing Fran makes her way to the dining table. "You have drool on your-nevermind.." it said as it sat across her.

"My name is Gojo Satoru and I'm a demon. I did stuff when I was alive and now I'm serving time as a demon"

Fran stared at him as if he was crazy. "My name is Francine Fine but you can call me Fran" she said after swallowing a spoonful of the egg fried rice. "I know you're a homeless person, and I'm sorry I called you a burglar, and thank you for this lovely meal, but this is trespassing, Gojo-san."

"Look, Miss Fine, I'm not homeless AND I most certainly am not a burglar"

"Are you, perhaps, a drug addict? I don't judge. There's a gene that makes a person an addict-"

"I told you I'm a demon!" Gojo shouted, breaking the lightbulbs one by one. His horns and tail slowly appear as the room becomes dark. The temperature turns freezing and frost starts to appear on the window pane. His blue eyes become even bluer as he stared at her.

Shocked, Fran stared at him with her mouth wide open.

"Look, I need you to give me a task so that I can leave you alone" Gojo says as he calmed down. The room goes back to normal. The lightbulbs turn on as if nothing had happened and the frost on the window pane disappears.

"Task?" she muttered.

"Yes. All demons are summoned for a reason. Most people want riches and fame. Some just want to kill someone" he says as he crosses his arms and leans forward "What about you, Miss Fine? What do you want?" a smirk forms on his face.

"Honestly? Nothing.." Fran shrugs and continues eating her egg fried rice.

"What?! You can't want nothing! Look around you! You're poor for God's sake!"

"Yeah, I know. But I'm getting by" She shrugs again, taking a sip of her coffee.

Gojo is beyond shocked. This is the first time in 500 years someone had summoned him and did not want anything. "But you know," he starts "you can't get rid of me unless you make a request" he crosses his arms as if in triumph.

Fran ponders for a while and nods. "You're right. Now, I've read a few things about demons and I know that there is ALWAYS a payment. What sort of payment do you expect from me? You said it yourself, I'm poor."

"Why, silly Miss Fine! Your soul of course!"
