The Cosmos' Journey (Obey Me! x OC)

Chapter 19: Beelzebub, Avatar of Gluttony

Ivy was in class at the moment with her idiot of an old friend beside her. "Mmm, this is amazing! Ahh... nothin' beats a fried scorpion sandwich with vinegar and tartar sauce (Ivy shuddered) for a late morning snack! In a bento box with all the fixings, of course!"

Ivy leaned against Mammon and he merely shot her a grin. Beel was silent and Mammon suddenly jolted upon noticing him. "D'ah... Beel! St-Stop it! This is MINE! Don't look at my food like that. It's like you're devouring it with your eyes!"

That was a scary thought. Beel only gave him a look. "I don't want it."

"... Huh? Wait, what's that now?"

Ivy was just as surprised as her contacted eye blinked. Mammon continued. "Did you just say you don't want it? You're actually tellin' me you don't want this crazy good fried scorpion sandwich with vinegar and tartar sauce?! Are ya outta your mind?! Are you sick to your stomach?! Is this the day when hell really does freeze over?! Or wait... is this a dream?! OW!"

Ivy was so glad she kept her chancla in her bag. Beel shook his head. "Nope. None of the above."

"All right, then what's goin' on here?!"

"I don't like your cooking, that's all."

Ivy buried her face in his shoulder to stifle her giggles. She gladly accepted a graham cracker that Mammon had saved for her. He looked dejected by the statement. "Wow, way to say somethin' super rude like it's no big deal, Beel. That really hurts, ya know! Actually though, I DIDN'T make this. I got it from a witch who gave it to me as an offering."

Beel watched as Mammon fed Ivy another graham cracker. His eyes focused on the food. "All right then, I'll take it."

"Uh, what? No you won't. What makes you think you can have this? I don't remember offerin' it to you. Although, if you want it that bad, I guess I could sell it to you as a special favor. If you ain't got cash on you, I'll take precious gems as payment instead. I'd probably settle for sapphires, rubies, Moldavite--"

Beel took it and ate it. Ivy gave him a look as she prepared her favorite weapon. She was soon going to beat manners into him. Mammon looked at him with surprise. "HEY... WHOA! I didn't say you could eat that! ... D'ah, you wolfed the whole thing in three seconds flat! I want my morning snack back, Beel! ... Actually, no... Too late. Give me money. You owe me now!"

Beel shook his head. "Sorry, it's all gone. And I don't have any money, either. Or gemstones."

Mammon growled in anger before turning to her. "Hey, Ivy! Don't just sit there watching! Say somethin' to Beel!"

He still fed her another graham cracker. Beel blinked at this. Was Mammon trying to butter her up? He watched as Mammon's hand snaked beneath her bang and just settled there. Ivy purred happily at this. Beel blinked again. Did Mammon know what was under the bang? Ivy just leaned into the touch. "You guys sort it out. Because I couldn't care less."

Mammon pretended to give her a hurt look. "Hey! How could you not care?! I mean, this is my food we're talking about! I think I'm gonna cry here!"

Beel watched as he withdrew his hand, careful not to show what was under it. The two were hiding something. Beel was sure about it. A certain angel then approached them. "Hey there, you three. It's nice to see how well you all get along."

Ivy felt her heart warm at seeing the familiar dark skinned angel. Mammon only blinked at him. "Wha? Are ya blind, Simeon?! Can't you see that we're ready to kill each other here?!"

Ivy then noticed Luke. Luke was now next to her and grasping her hand that dangled within his reach as he glared at him. "Don't you dare speak to Simeon that way, demon! Show some respect!"
