Obey Me - Brothers and Sister (BEING REWRITTEN)

Part 12

Barbatos was laying in his bed, embarrassed. The demon lord would not shut up about the day before, being hyper with his best friends. Diavolo found it cute and refreshing to see Barbatos act his age around him, but Barbatos thought the opposite, it was embarrassing for him. For some reason he felt like crying when he remembered how Diavolo had constantly brought it up throughout the whole weekend, and some of the maids looking over fondly at him, as if he was their son "growing up." He was already grown up, he proved that, he was more mature than Diavolo 99% of the time, but a slight glimpse of his true bubbly personality that he only shared with Victoria and Satan slips and suddenly he is the average hyper 14 year old in everyone's eyes. Barbatos huffed and shook his head. "I disciplined and trained myself to be a respectable and mature demon, and I decide to have fun ONE time and it ruins it all. I'm never hanging out with demons my age ever again." Barbatos grumbled as he angrily gets up to put his uniform on and make breakfast for Diavolo, but oddly enough he smelled breakfast already. Who was in his kitchen? He walks downstairs and see's one of the older maids, Leslie, cooking. "Morning Barbatos!" She calls. Barbatos was confused. "Good morning? Why are you making breakfast?" He asks quietly. "Oh, Master Diavolo asked me to, he wanted you to get some rest." She says in a sweet tone, pinching Barbatos's cheek. He forced a smile and simply walked away. He made a beeline straight to Lord Diavolo's office and knocked on the door. "Come in-" Barbatos swung open the door with a smile. "Good morning My Lord. May I ask you something?" Barbatos said to Diavolo. "Of course, anything." Diavolo responds. "Why were one of the maids cooking breakfast instead of me?" He asked with, yet again, another forced smile. "Oh, I simply wanted you to rest, I will bring you your work from school, just stay in your room for today, you have been working very hard and I don't want you to end up as a workaholic. It can sometimes hinder performance." Diavolo said. 'It can sometimes hinder performance...' These words threw Barbatos through a loop. Was he truly doing a poor job for Diavolo? Without showing any worry on his face, he smiled again. "Thank you My Lord, I will do as you wish." He bowed, and left straight to his room. He slid down the wall inside his room as he closed the door and wept quietly. He was panicking. What if Diavolo was feigning the happiness that he showed with Barbatos the past weekend. What if he was truly disappointed in him for acting his age in his presence. He felt as if he threw his entire life away. Why did he allow himself to be immature in front of anyone? Even Satan, even Victoria? Speaking of the those two, a message was sent in their group chat. 

Vic- "Hey Barb, are you coming to school today? We're in first period already and we don't see you." 

S8n- "Yeah, you didn't even show up to walk to school with us halfway like you usually do, are you alright?"

Barb-"I'm alright, Lord Diavolo requested of me to stay at the castle, please do not text me while you are in class."

Vic-"Uh, ok then...

Satan and Victoria looked at each other confused, he normally doesn't text so formally when it is addressed to them. Victoria shrugged her shoulders, but in the back of her mind, there was a lingering feeling that something was wrong, but what did she know about feelings? She sat down next to Satan and waited for her first class to start. The new teacher that is supposed to replace the awful Mr. Lawrence, was finally hired, so no more substitutes. A middle aged demon man with a sweet smile on his face walked in, he had the look of the chill history teacher that everyone liked, but he was teaching Algebra. "Good morning class, my name is Mr. Perez." He wrote his name on the board with neat handwriting. "I'm here to finally replace Mr. Lawrence, that god-awful teacher." He muttered under his breath. The students heard and giggled. He briefly told the class about himself, he was actually a RAD graduate, and he had Mr. Lawrence for over half of his classes for all his highschool and college years. The students gasped. "I know, crazy right? Thankfully, you student's don't have to deal with him anymore." Mr. Perez said. Victoria didn't know how to feel about this new teacher yet, she knew that he was significantly better than 'Mr. Douchebag', but by observing, she noticed that all teachers in RAD are especially nice and easygoing during the first 2 weeks. Then, they either get more strict and some even become fully fledged assholes, or they stay the same. There was never a way to truly tell. Though, she still hoped that Mr. Perez stays the same.
