Little steps towards your heart

Ch2: Little cuties

*The next day*

Lucifer was staring at me intently and I shot him with puppy dog eyes.

"Please~" I pleaded.

"Not even a day has passed and you are already creating problems for me" Lucifer sighed.

"Oh C'mon Lucifer.. Aren't they cute?.. How could you say no!" I directed towards the two kittens I was holding, Smokey and Jerry. Its been only two months since I bought them. Smokey has a grey and white colourd fur whereas Jerry has a Ginger colour. As they were my pets, obviously I couldn't leave them behind.

" I promise that they will behave themselves" I said breaking the silence.

"That is not the reason I am not allowing." He looked at me with forlorn eyes.

" Then what is it?"

"Beel, the Avatar of Gluttony will be sure to devour them" He sighed.

I was shocked by his words. I mean who can stand to kill these little two cuties, devouring them is at bay! I subconsciously tightened by arm around the pet carrier handbag which was in my arms. At which my little cuties started meow-ing in pain. I quickly unfastened my grip and quickly hugged them back lightly but in a protective gesture to make them feel safe. It still didn't work so I started whispering 'Its okay' which had a little effect but they didn't stop completely.

"I will protect them and make sure to keep them away from him." Fear and determination can be clearly understood in my voice. Only to look up and see that he was observing me all along.

*Lucifer pov*

This girl is something else. Does she not know that keeping her alive will be a hard job enough with addition to keeping her kittens away from Beel's grasp.

Her eyes has the determination of a mother to protect their kittens but her voice was instilled with fear of loosing them. She is not a bit worried about her own safety but two little kittens than herself. She claims she will protect them, the question is wheather she knows that she will need our protection 24/7?

I chuckled at the thought.

"Is... something funny?" She asked with confusion in her facial features.

"No.." I shook my head in hopelessness. "But if one of your kitten dies the responsibility will be solely yours. Do you accept that?"

"Yes, I do. I do not except any protection from you at the first place anymore." She said with anger in her voice. Although I know Satan will be downright sparkling after seeing these kittens. Maybe I should interchange Mammon with Satan.

I opened the portal and took one of the two suitcase and wondered what was it filled with as she was already provided with clothes at Devildom.

*Your pov*

"What does this suitcases filled with? You are already provided with everything." He asked as we were binded by the lights.

"Cat essentials" I replied "And some mine and an instrument." I peeked to see his reaction.

Confusion in his eyes,"Which is?"

"Kalimba" I answered.

"What is that?"

"Its a wooden cuboid with long metalic keys attached to it." I explained. As the lights decreased and we were engulfed in darkness, we were infront of a big manor. My eyes widened with look of it. It was big and beautiful as climbers were all over it giving an ghostly but royal essence.

"Instrument is not a necessity of life", he said, irritated.

"People who do not play instrument will never understand their necessity." I glared. I hate when people say that.
