A Sheep Among Demons

Lesson Five Chapter Forty-Two - A Pet is a Big Responsibility (2)

"Even though you hate demons?" Beel looked at Luke with a raised eyebrow and Luke frowned at him as they crossed their arms in front of him.

"Well, what choices do I have?! ...This is the only place I could think of to go." Luke's expression was really sad and I couldn't handle it anymore. I knew Beel wouldn't really like this but he could blame this on me if Lucifer found out about this.

"I think we should let him stay here." I couldn't even think of letting him leave this house and some bad demon found him alone...! What if he gets tricked by a shady demon and gets kidnapped!? I couldn't live with myself if that happened at all!

"Oh Yuki... I knew I could count on you! You've got the heart of an angel!" Luke hugged me happily and I couldn't keep a smile off my face. I didn't even think of Lucifer's disapproving stare if he found out what I just did. I looked over to Beel who was silently watching this and I was worried he would throw Luke out.

"...Okay, Luke can stay here. I do owe him for giving me that cake, after all." Bell nodded his head in agreement with me and Luke stopped hugging me to look towards Beel with a smile on his face.

"Really? I can stay?!" Luke looked so pleased with getting the okay from Beel as well and I felt an urge to squeeze his cheeks due to how cute he looked at the moment. I feel happy knowing I would see this cute angel for a while whenever I came back to Beel's room.

"Just make sure that my brothers don't find out about you. If they knew I was sheltering an angel, they'd kick me out of the dorm." I almost forgot about the other brothers since I was more focused on Lucifer. It would be bad if they found out me and Beel was keeping Luke in the house without telling them.

"All right, got it! Leave it to me! I'll make sure no one ever finds out! You think I'm about to let some demons find me?! I DON'T THINK SO!" I tried not to flinch when Luke's voice increased in volume. I looked quickly at Beel's closed door and let out a sigh when no one stormed into the room.

"In that case, do us all a favor and be quiet." Beel covered Luke's mouth and told them that in a firm voice. Luke quickly nodded his head and then quickly went to my side. I tried not to let out a sigh when I realized how this may be harder than I thought.

In The Morning...

"...Hey. What's the deal, Yuki? Is that all you're gonna eat? If ya don't have yourself a proper breakfast, you'll run out of gas before lunchtime." I tried not to react to Mammon's voice as I finished smaller than what I am used to for breakfast. I couldn't help but think about what Luke said earlier before I came downstairs.

Flashback....

"So you're really willing to bring me back something to eat so I can have breakfast too? That would be amazing, thanks...! Wow, you're so nice Yuki!" Luke gave me a bright smile and I felt the urge to hug him close to me.

"Oh, but I can't eat any of that weird stuff demons like. Like fried bats, monkey brains... that sort of stuff. Also, I hate anything tomato-flavored. I can't handle ketchup, either. And there are some cheeses I don't like...it depends on the variety. Oh, and also..." Luke started to list off more things he didn't like and I tried not to groan at how much of a picky eater he was.

'This is for Luke so just bear with it Yuki for this one time!' Giving myself that encouragement I continue to listen to Luke list off the things he hated to eat.

Back To The Present...

"Are you feelin' sick to your stomach? Is that it?" Mammon looked at me concerned and I didn't really want him to keep asking me questions since I didn't want to come up with an excuse for the reason I am like this.
