Daylight bathed Diavolo's tired features as he twitched from the brightness hitting his face. Slowly, he opened his eyes and looked at the clock hanging by the wall: Six fifteen AM, it read. He laid on the couch for a few more minutes and recalled the recent events last night, bright emerald irises travelling on his side as he made sure that everything wasn't just a dream. Seeing no traces of you, he quickly got up and frantically looked around before deciding to fold and neatly settle the fluffy blankets and pillows on the corner of the couch.
Diavolo then bolted outside, the sound of his footsteps following behind him as he checked every room in panic. His ankle still hurts but he couldn't care, he needs to make sure that everything that happened isn't just a dream-or worse-a hallucination. A quiet curse brushed against his lips as he headed downstairs in a hurry. In an instant, his worries were washed away as the soft tune of music was heard in the distance. With a sigh of relief, he walked towards the kitchen while brushing his hair with his fingers.
"Oh hey, goodmorning! "
Your lively voice sang in the ears of the man as the smell of bacons and pancakes welcomed him. Diavolo sluggishly sat on the table and blankly returned the greetings, resting his head on his palms as you began to babble about the small and uneventful things recently while he silently listened and hummed ever so often in response. You were already wearing a white button-up and black pants as you cooked breakfast.
"So how was your sleep? The neighbor's cat didn't wake you up, did it? ", You asked with a soft chuckle as you flipped the pancake, dancing a bit to the music playing in the background.
Diavolo snickered in response, "Well, it was alright. That's probably the longest sleep i ever had too. "
"But you only slept for eight hours though. ", You replied with mild worry laced on your voice.
"Exactly. ", Diavolo groaned.
Freeing a light-hearted giggle, you stated, "Well here, that's going to be your daily sleep now. You gotta be healthy so you won't get sick, you never know what kind of stuff you'll get these days. ". The fire was immediately distinguished as you turned the stove off, your other hand holding the plate of pancakes. As you were placing the plates and coffee on the table, Diavolo spoke, "Didn't you talked about not being able to go outside last night? How are you still able to afford all these things? ", He asked.
"I do work online. Technology is more advanced in this time just so you know. ", You briefly answered as you took a seat, placing a pancake and a couple of bacons to your plate as you proceeded, "I'm working as a teacher and i also do some part-time jobs for extra money. I should be able to provide for both of us so you really have nothing to worry about, y'know. ". A reassuring smile painted your lips as you coated the latter with honey, "It's actually my day off today but Eve's father, my boss, requested help with something. I can't decline of course, i owe a lot to him and to Eve so for now, i'll have to leave you here. It won't be long, i promise. Also, i'll have your documents made later with the help of my brother. I'll also buy you some clothes on my way home, so yeah...im going to be pretty busy today. "
