That Awkward Moment When...

Ch. 3-Forgive and Forget

As the three men started to exit the study hall,Beel grabbed Solomon by the shoulder. "Hey, can I ask you a quick question?"
"Sure..I'll try to answer you if I can."
"Is is possible for the Avatars of Sin to end up with more than one sin in their character?"
Solomon looked puzzled at the question,which prompted Beel to go into further explanation.
"After I told them what had happened, Asmo said I was smelled strongly of a gluttonous lust. And well, it's not like that right now. But I'm definitely not as obsessed with eating any food."

"I'm sure it is possible. But, I think in your case there's some other variables to factor in. Aerith was naked,coupled with the unrequited feelings you both have may have elicited an overabundance of her pheromones to release in that moment. And depending on if she is nearing her curse of Eve for the month could also be a factor."

It was Beelzebub's turn to look puzzled. So, Solomon continued his explanation. " Human females have a cycle of menstruation, or bleeding every month for a period between 5-7 days. But, a week or so before that,their pheromones will increase because they are looking to mate. There could also be an x-factor on your end as well."

Belphie turned to the conversation behind him and grinned sleepily;"In other words Beel, she could just be uber horny and wanting to fuck like bunnies before she starts to bleed for seven days. " Beel blushed rosy pink," Thanks for the graphic review ",as he shoved past them to get to his next class.

What could be the factor I added? And I don't remember ever feeling like this. Not since we've been in the Devildom. My main priorities have always been delicious food, working out and my family. I'm not faulting Aerith alone in this. There's always more than one person at fault with any kind of issue.

Beel's thoughts were kind of getting away from him. He shook his head trying to silence the questions in his head as he went to his Spells and Enchantment class.

Aerith kind of wanted to skip out on her favorite class, Spells and Enchantment. Beel was going to be there and he was her lab partner. That's part of the reason they had become close. That and some common interests like food, dogs, and metal music. She had eventually found herself liking the second youngest brother of the demons as more than a friend.

But, she couldn't tell him how she felt. It felt like high school all over again for her. And she knew what revealing her feelings would do. It would lead to a harsh rejection. Just like after ahe had told someone she liked him, and he basically told her to go play in traffic. There had been other rejection after that as well. So, she decided she wouldn't tell someone how she felt first.

Even though all those events were far in her past now,a pang of hurt threatened to well up in her,as she felt the sting of oncoming tears.
"Come on Aerith,get a grip," she told herself. Can't skip out on class,cause Lucifer would have her ass strung up before dinner for punishment.
She managed to compose herself as she sat down at her lab table.

As she rifled through her bag getting her stuff out, she felt Beel's presence next to her as he sat down.
" H..Hey Aerith," he stammered out,as he brandished an adorable half cocked grin at her.
She turned in her seat toward him. "Hi Beel", she tried to manage a warm smile for him,but it was strained.
"Aerith, I need..." he started, and she cut him off. " I know. You want to talk about what happened this morning?"
" Well, yeah. "
" It...it's really ok,Beel. I know you didn't mean to do it. And I'm not mad at you. We're all good."Aerith explained rather hastily.

" Are you sure? Cause I get the feeling it's not all good. You won't even make eye contact with me now."
She placed her small hand on top of his reassuringly. But still didn't quite look at him. Her touch affected him. He felt like a pit in his gut had been filled with embers of a fire being stoked slowly. And it hurt that she didn't look at him.
"It'll be ok. Trust me." And she removed her hand from his.

The instructor droned on about the history of faerie glamour,and before the end of the class announced that there would be a lab working on seduction magic within the following days.

Aerith looked like she was going to fall out of her chair. Beel happened to look over and caught her by the arm.
"Are you ok? Do you need me to take you to the nurses office?," Beel asked, full of concern.

" I... I'll be fine. I think I'll see if I can leave early today. "

" Do you want me to come with you?,"he asked.

" No...I know I'll already get in trouble with Lucifer for this,and I don't want to drag you into it too."

"See you at the house then?,"he asked still concerned.
"Yeah",she reassured, rubbing his shoulder before excusing herself a few minutes before the class ended.
Maybe I should stop by the nurses office...Aerith thought to herself as she headed in that direction.
When she arrived,the door was open,and she could see the nurse at a filing cabinet her back to the door.

"What seems to be ailing you Ms. Winchester?", the nurse asked ,as she turned to face Aerith.

Aerith stepped into the sterile room,but before she could go into anything that was making her feel off,Nurse Boggs leaned into and smelled her up and down.
Aerith jumped back a bit surprised.
"Don't be afraid. That's just how I do a preliminary exam. Now then,please take a seat," she gestured to the bed.

Aerith did as she was instructed, and hopped up onto the bed. She adjusted her glasses, and nervously tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"So, what did you find out from that examination?,"she asked with trepidation.
"A lot of self consciousness, accompanied by an extreme fear of rejection. But its mixed with affection for one of your caregivers at the House of Lamentation. " Nurse Boggs sniffed her again. "Beelzebub, if I'm not mistaken. " "So, tell me what's going on?"

Aerith blushed hard at the mention of his name. With a sigh of resignation, she proceeded to tell the nurse how they were always hanging out together,in alot of the same classes. Her eyes were practically glowing, and then dimmed as she explained what had happened that morning at the house. But,her hormones had raised to where the nurse could smell it on her.

The nurse wasn't akin to that coming so strongly off a human. But,it was clear that Aerith was love sick.
"From what you've told me,I really don't think Master Beelzebub sees you like you see yourself. I think this could be a catalyst for you two to move forward. "
Aerith's expression was one of nervousness.
Nurse Boggs stood from the chair she was sitting in and went toward one of her medicine cabinets.
"However, it sounds as if this event has started to stress you out.Which would be counterproductive to curing your condition. "
Aerith looked puzzled. "And what condition is that?"

"You humans call it a crush. And while that may be true in your world,if it happens between a demon and a human it's a love sickness. And if left to fester in the human heart untreated can be detrimental for both involved. And so I'm going to give you something to forget your embarrassing moment today," she finished up the explanation, and handed Aerith 2 pouches of ingredients.

"What are these?," Aerith asked,as she took the pouches from the nurse.
"They're labeled, but one has Sedam petals and orange peels. The Sedam will erase what you want it to. The orange peel is to off set the bitter taste of the tea. The other is a blend of African dream root,lavender and valerian root. To help with your sleep for the next few days. I'm also giving you a note that excuses you from the academy for the next few days as well.I will have to inform Master Lucifer and Lord Diavolo of your absence. The oblivion tea is gonna hit you at different times. And the side effects could range from dizziness to fainting. But,it should only last for a few moments at time. By the weekend you should be good. But don't hesitate to call me if anything out this range happens," Nurse Boggs concluded,as she handed Aerith a card and smiled.

Aerith gave the nurse a heartfelt smile, "Thank you so much."
"My pleasure, " she returned, as she watched Aerith leave.

Nurse Boggs went to her desk drawer and pulled a can of air deodorizer, and started spraying furiously.
"I don't understand how she's still walking or alive with all that pent up sexual energy. Unless it's only started to affect him due to the recent event. But,if that keeps building in the Avatar of Gluttony, she's done for," the nurse speculated to herself.
