Just before you completely fell asleep you felt Jevil put your hands under his.

--------------------------------------------------------------

You woke up slowly, as you looked around your surroundings you remembered what happened yesterday and realized Jevil's hands were still on top of yours, you looked behind you and saw Jevil looking at you "Peek-a-boo" He said softly with a smile, you smiled back and pulled apart from the bars. You stretched your arms and realized about the pain in your back. "Slept well?" He asked.

You made a 'hm?' noise and looked back at him, his hands were now on the bars. "I did, surprisingly. The bars kinda messed up my back though" You said getting up and stretching more. "I should go back up, I don't know what time it is, you grabbed your candle holder with the burned out candle on top of it along with your blanket, waved Jevil goodbye and got on the elevator, you pressed the corresponding button and slowly went up.

When the doors opened you saw some of your co-workers already working. So you're late for both breakfast and work. You just walked faster to your dorm, ignoring stares from different creatures living in the castle. I mean, who wouldn't stare? You see a random person appear out of nowhere in pajamas along with a candle holder while using a blanket as a cape. Like, what kind of situation did they get into?

When you finally got to your dorm you closed the door behind you and slid to the floor leaving out a loud groan. 'Fuck, I shouldn't have fallen asleep' you thought. You got up quickly though, you couldn't stay like that, you had work to do, god knows what you'll do if you get fired. You put the blanket on its usual place, got into uniform, made yourself presentable and went outside.

You asked some rando if they knew what you were supposed to do. Of course they didn't know because why the hell would they know? You wanted to avoid Rouxls but that wouldn't be an option if you wanted to work. Not that you wanted to, but you had to.

You searched for him and eventually found him. You took a deep breath before approaching him, his back was facing you so you gave him a light tap on the shoulder. He turned around and looked at you with disgust. 'Well, dang, I don't look that bad.'

"Y/N, does this looketh like an appropriate time to start working?"

"Uh..." You realized you didn't even check what time it was "No...?"

"OF COURSE NOT!" He exclaimed, you just stood in place, as it wasn't usual for him to start shouting out of nowhere "THEE ARE 30 MINUTES LATE TO WORK!" 'Ohh... Crap.'

"I'm so sorry, Rouxls! This won't happen again!"

"Of courseth not! Next time this happens, you're fired" He said walking past you.

"... Well fuck off then." You said boldly once he was out of sight "He didn't even tell me what I'm supposed to do! Bastard! What should I do?" You said out loud. "Whatever! You're the loss!" You started to walk in the opposite direction.

"Who the hell does he think he is? Ooh, look at me I'm Rouxls and my name is weird as fuck. Also! I speak like Shakespeare because just when you thought you couldn't hate me more I'll come up with another ridiculous trait of mine and make you regret your existence!" You said imitating his voice. You mumbled angry thoughts under your breath before bumping into someone. Sidra. Of course.

"Y/N? You're here? I thought Rouxls would fire you on the spot." She said.

"Looks like he gave me another chance."

"He must be in a really good mood then"

"Well not anymore." You said, angry.

"..." Sidra looked at you with a mix of a confused and worried expression, and soon she spoke up "Oh! By the way, what the hell happened?" She asked.

You looked at her and just swung your head towards a direction where you wouldn't see Sidra. You didn't want to tell her anything. Not that it was your plan to tell her, but the fact that she went down to Jevil's just to bother him made you angry. Jevil just wanted to be with you. You were the only one he cared about.
Wait.
What?

"Uhh... You look centered, I'll leave you be." Sidra just walked away and you stood with a dumbfounded face. You lost balance and nearly fell out of nowhere but was able to stay up thanks to a nearby wall.

You thought about Jevil's behaviour towards you.
Out of all the maids he only talked to you.
He shared his freedom with you.
He wanted to be your friend.
He was so excited to be your first friend.
He held you the entire time you slept.
He found you funny.
He liked you.
He liked you?
"Wait, but, like, actually, like, like?..." You said outloud to yourself. "Nahh..." You laughed "Actually, what..?" You said lower, still trying to figure out what was happening.

You regained posture and got cleaning. What were you cleaning? Everything. You were cleaning to get your brain to focus on another thing. You skipped meals and just waited until your work schedule was over. Co-workers stared confused at your behaviour, they had never seen you cleaning so fast and efficiently. Rouxls stared as well. He even asked you if something happened, to which you just answered 'No time for talking. Just cleaning. No thinking.' Basically everyone in the castle was confused. You even felt the king occasionally stare at you.

When the sun finally fell you went straight to Jevil's. No pajamas, no blanket, no candle, no waiting for everyone to sleep. Just going down. When the elevator's doors opened, greeting you with the familiar view of the staircase your feet were paralyzed. You hadn't thought this straight. You were too distracted cleaning.

You got out of the elevator so the doors wouldn't close on your face and stood there. You tried to regulate your breathing before going down but the more steps you took, the faster your heart was beating. When you got down you were also met with the familiar sight of an empty cell. You just sat on the ground, trying not to make any noise that would make Jevil show up. 'Alright, I'm probably just overthinking this, just like everything else.' you thought. You then heard some noises coming from the cell, like something falling over. You remained quiet, you figured Jevil was trying to get your response.

You remained quiet and nervous, only a few seconds after, though, his head popped out of the shadows "Why are we playing the silence game? Game?" He asked

"The what-"

"The silence game! How long can one stay in silence?!"

"Oh, yeah, it lives up to its name" At this point you were both in the same familiar position, sitting in front of each other, bars in between.

"Have you thought about some game for us? Us?"

"You have all the time in the world and I'm the one who has to think?" You asked monotonously.

"...You might be right, right" He got into a thinking position and you just looked at the ground, trying to avoid your intrusive thoughts. Jevil noticed this behaviour on you "Hey, hey" You perked your head up.

"What is it?"

"Is something wrong? Did you sleep overtime? Time?" He asked.

"Oh, uh, well, I did, but I'm fine! For now. Rouxls didn't fire me" You laughed awkwardly, it seemed like Jevil got mad at just hearing the name Rouxls judging by his face. He scoffed in disbelief.

"I don't understand why he's still in charge, charge..."

"Me neither man, me neither." You said laying back.

"If only I was out..."

"Aren't you already out though?" You asked still on the floor.

"Not quite Y/N" He laughed, he grabbed the bars tightly, making you look at him "If only I was there with you! You can't even imagine what would happen" He laughed.

"I can't imagine it? What about you?"

"I've been imagining it for the last years, years!" You just gave him a thumbs up before your stomach growled. "Someone's hungry, hungry!"

"Heh, yeah... I haven't eaten in all day" You said thinking about today.

"Why is that?" He asked, suddenly worried. "Did Rouxls have something to do?" He added.

"What? Oh no, nononono... I was just too busy working, I forgot that food was a thing." You didn't forget at all, but eating would've meant a break, and a break would've meant thinking, and thinking would've meant 'Am I right?'.
