"Is everything alright?"

How couldn't he hear you open the door just a few seconds ago? Even though you were still standing in the door frame he quickly slammed the laptop shut so you couldn't see anything on the screen.

"Until now I was doing pretty good." he muttered and wanted to run his fingers through his hair to put some strands back in place, only to notice he still had the blanket on top of his head.

For the last few hours he had been sitting in the same position, desperately trying to find a way he could connect his laptop back to his old working place. Of course there were multiple security system and no one could just take some information from him. No, he always made sure he was the only one that had complete control over everything, not even Doppio knew about this.

But how could it be that there was nothing?! No matter where he looked he couldn't find a single hint of where to get back in contact with his workers. No one was supposed to be able to do this, but as the boss he should know exactly what to do, but not even his usual strategy he used to hack into any system he liked had worked.

It was frustrating how everything he built up just completely vanished from existence. There was just nothing, and how could it be possible that the boss of Passione couldn't enter his own system anymore? Anger was quick to build up in his veins as he resisted the urge to just slam the laptop against the wall out of pure frustration.

All he ever got were some messages popping up that those websites he used might be unsafe, the constant need to disable the cookies nearly everywhere was asked for, and his laptop was annoying him with all those updates.

The thing that made his anxiety rise up the most were probably the messages he got on that one website, where it said some women in your neighbourhood wanted to meet him or show him a good time. Did they find out that he was here and tried to lure him in? No, he would never fall for such a simple trap and successfully ignored them.

"I'm going to make some food, if you are hungry you can get yourself something in the kitchen." you quickly said, halfway on your way out of the room again. Seemed like he didn't want you to see what he was doing with his laptop, which kind of raised your suspicion but you respected his privacy. You just hoped he wouldn't get hacked or download a virus, but the way he had taped more than one piece of paper on the camera told you he was probably pretty careful about what he was doing.

"Good, I thought you would never start doing something productive." he muttered, while he glared at you. How badly you resisted the urge to give him a piece of your mind, you weren't the one that blocked the living room for hours just to be on his laptop. So you decided to not say anything and simply left the room, while pulling the door close rather loudly.

For a moment you thought about what you could eat, but just decided to open one of the cans in your cupboard. It wasn't the most delicious thing, but you were too lazy to make something else. As soon as you put the entire content into a pot and turned on the stove you wanted to sit down at the table for a moment to just look through your phone, but a pink haired devil shouting from the living room was quick to interrupt that.

"(Y/N)! Come here this instant!" with a groan of annoyance you put your phone on the table and made your way over to the living room. "What is it?" you called back and walked inside only to see him standing behind the couch with the laptop still on the small table.

"What is happening?" he asked and pointed at the screen with an expression between frightened and pissed. You took a closer look and upon lifting up the screen a bit for you to see better, you immediately realized the device was overheating. Even worse was that the whole screen was frozen and many tabs still tried to load their website. "What were you doing?" you asked and tried to press a few buttons that would close everything again, but nothing changed. "Just some research." Diavolo answered and you looked at him and then back at the laptop.
