Artemis was on his way back to the dorms, his arms filled with groceries and a few fabrics that he placed with the sealed up food. As he got to his dorm door, he set one of the bags down and searched for his key. Before he could find it, however, Shino opened the door for him. "Hey, man. You find the grocery store okay?"
"Yeah, I did. That mall was a little tricky to maneuver through though."
Shino grabbed a couple of bags from Artemis, helping him unload the food into the kitchen. "Yeah, that's pretty understandable. Especially since you still don't use your phone all too much."
"Hey, I was planning on using it... eventually..."
Shino looked at him, an eyebrow raised in challenge. "Mhmm."
"To be fair, I've never used one before so it's been hard to remember to use it myself..." Artemis tried to explain, getting quieter as he continued speaking
Shino snorted. "It's fine, Artemis. You just need to remember to use it more often. We got you that for a reason after all."
Artemis sighed in defeat. "Yeah, I know..."
Shino laughed to himself. "So, how was your day? Did you have enough energy to get through our classes?"
Artemis thought for a moment. "Yeah, I'd say I had enough energy. But something weird happened on my way to the mall actually."
"Oh really?" Shino questioned.
"Y-yeah! As I approached a corner, I thought I bumped into someone and they gave me a lecture and walked away. But before I could talk to them further, they vanished. I'm not sure if it was just me being tired and imagining the interaction or if he had a quirk or what... Either way, I think I might schedule an appointment with the school nurse about my sleeping habits again."
"Hmm... yeah, that sounds like the best option for you right now. Are you sure you don't want to take a nap now?"
Artemis shook his head. "No, I'm fine for now. I actually want to get some designs done sometime today for the Cafe Club."
"Well, okay, Artemis. Just make sure you take plenty of breaks. You know how much you work."
"Right." With that, Artemis took the fabrics from the bags and walked to the staircase. "I'll come back down when dinner's ready."
"Okay."

As night fell, The only light on upstairs was Artemis's lamp on his desk, Artemis himself holding some of the fabric he got earlier in the day to create a vest for his design.
As Artemis was in his zone, one would have sworn that his shadow looked rather strange. It still looked like him however, it seemed to have what looked like a pair of pointed dog ears, a fluffy tail, and a pair of wings. Though, it could be just the trick of the light...

((Sorry for this one being so short, guys. This was going to be part of the previous chapter, but it made it too long and I felt like I needed to shorten it. But don't worry, the next one I'll be sure to make it longer.
Anyways, I just wanted to let you all know that I am not the only one who's working on this au. on youtube, there is a channel that's doing their own version of the au so I suggest you check it out!
you can find the series on bendina the demon on youtube! (I'd send a link but Wattpad isn't being smart right now QwQ)
