Simple lies

Confusion

Maou pov:

What was that all about? I was a little more than surprised at Urushihara's outburst and I think Ashiya was too. I walked over to him and whispered

"Did something happen while I was at work?"

" I don't think so sire, at least not while I was here but maybe something happened while the hero Emilia dragged me out of the house."

"You went out?" I asked surprised that he'd leave Urushihara here alone and willingly go with Emi.

"Yes Emilia threatened me see her friend Rika or she would burn all our coupons sire." I sighed. So if anything happened we won't know unless he tells us. Damn it! I then sat down to eat as did Ashiya; I could hear Urushihara's slowed breathing, which meant he had managed to fall asleep. Dinner was heavy with silence.

"Sire?" Ashiya said as he placed his chopsticks down.

"What is Ashiya?" He glanced over to the cardboard box that lay next to the laptop.

"Do you think he's just acting this way to get us to purchase something for him later or better dinners?" I paused. That could be true seeing in how he complains about it all the time, but I don't think that's it after all he had muttered something about death.... I sighed

" I can see where you'd get that idea but I don't think so, if that was the case don't you think he would have tried this idea long ago, besides him hiding what he has to say is a little odd for him even if he's acting." Ashiya sighed

"Let's ask him in the morning sire. Maybe he will be in a better mood by then." I nodded in agreement and began to get ready for bed. I was having issues falling asleep; my mind was still stuck on why Urushihara was acting this way. I need to stop worrying about this. I have work in the morning. A small whimper brought me out of my complaints. I sat up and looked around trying to see where it came from. I first looked at Ashiya but he seemed to be sleeping perfectly fine. I heard another small whimper as I turned to Urushihara. Is he having a bad dream? I took a look into Urushihara's box and saw that he was curled in on himself. I was tempted to wake him up but he'd probably yell at me for waking him up. I decided that he'll be okay; after all he's a demon general he can handle some bad dreams.....right? If this happens again I'll wake him up or talk to him about it.
