I yawn, stretching, as light seeps through my closed eyelids. Opening them, I see that the girl beside me has already woken up. Age stares at me, (E/C) eyes widening in shock and confusion before flashing with recognition.
"Hey there, boy. Sleep well?" She asks, smiling.
I'm about to reply before I remember that I can't give away my identity. So, instead, I squeak my approval and nod. Her eyes widen in surprise.
"So you're intelligent. You can understand?" She asks, eyes shining.
For a moment, I hesitate. But then I nod, squeaking. She beams brightly, her fingers scratching my back. I mentally groan in bliss. But, all too soon, she stops.
I squeak angrily, viscously scratching her hands with my claws. She winches, especially when the scratches start bleeding.
"Well, you little bastard. That hurts." She just sighs, stroking my head.
I squeak impatiently, nipping at her fingers.
"What do you WANT?" She sighs.
'I WANT SOME FUCKING FOOD!!!' I scream in my head.
"You hungry?"
I freeze. Dafuq? Since when could she read minds? But then she puts me in her (COLOR) jacket's pocket. She keeps a hand on me, making sure I don't fall out as she climbs down.
Well, more like JUMPS down. Ow. Then I feel her jogging. After a bit, she stops and pulls me out.
"Sorry bout that. That uncomfortable? I guess you could ride in my hood. Or on my shoulder."
I hurriedly scramble to her shoulder, clutching onto her jacket. She checks herself before stepping out of the alley and runs into a man. I barely stifle a chuckle upon recognizing my bro.
"Oh! S-sorry!" She yelps, jumping back.
However, I notice his wallet in HER hands. Damn. She's good. However, my brother shrugs, walking away. Oh, he noticed. He's the Demon King Of Time.
Hurrying towards an alley, she leans against a wall.
"Damn..... That bastard gives me the creeps....." She mutters, opening the wallet.
I watch as she sorts through the shit. Coming across five hundred yen, she gasps. Holy shit! He only carries THAT much?! Hell, I thought he had like a million or so....
"Holy fucking shit....." She breathes, eyes wide.
Slowly, her shock turns to rage. Confused, I look down..... And see her holding a piece of paper. I squeak questionably, sniffing. She clears her throat harshly.
"'Dear reader-chan, I'd like to formally invite you to join my school, True Cross Academy. It'll be free as long as you take care of my friend, Amaimon.' AMAIMON?!? WHO THE FUCK IS AMAIMON???? WHAT THE HELL?!!" She shouts.
I squeak, wincing. Suddenly, she puts me down and stares into my eyes.
"You're...... Amaimon, aren't you?" She asks, getting into her knees.
I freeze, unable to think of an answer.
"Yes, yes he is. Nice to finally be able to talk to you face-to-face."
We both whip around to see Brother standing there, a smirk adorning his face.
"HOLY SHIT!?!" (Y/N) shrieks.
Mephisto chuckles.
"Well, let's talk more in my office."
And with that, he poofs us to his office.
"Amai, go ahead." He laughs, noticing my squirming.
"FINALLY!!!!!!" I shriek, jumping off (Y/N)'s shoulder.
She yelps, but then I'm sitting directly in front of her, my facial expression conveying boredom. She shrieks, falling over backwards. Instantly, I am hovering above her.
"You fell...." I mumble, offering her a hand.
"No shit, dumbass." She growls.
"Hey, don't be mean. You'll be stuck with him." Mephisto chuckles.
She glares at me for a few moments before nodding and taking my hands. I swear, I meant to gently pick her up!!!! But she's so damn light, I jerk her into my chest.
Her face turns beat red. Tilting my head, I get in her "space" as Brother put it.
"I didn't know humans could turn red..." I mumble, poking her face with a clawed finger.
"Aw!! Someone's embarrassed!!~" Mephisto laughs.
I stare at him blankly.
"No I'm not."
Both (Y/N) and Mephisto facepalm.
"The keys to your room are right here."
