Simple lies

Pushing Too Far

Luci's pov:

Maou didn't get home till later, not that it mattered. Nope not at all... It figures that I'm in love with a straight guy. I mean of all people I could like it just had to be him. By the time Maou got home Ashiya had returned from his little trip with Emi and Rika and I had cleaned my mouth out so no one else would notice or know of what happened. Of course it wasn't till the hero threatened him that he actually went of course. When Maou came home he looked exhausted.

"Urushihara, here's your dinner." Maou said handing me one of the generic noodles packages that I was unfortunately used to. I ignored him, as hard as that was; and continued to stare at computer screen, I wasn't in the mood to eat and my mouth and jaw still hurt so eating probably wouldn't help.

"Come on Lucifer I'm not in the mood to deal with your attitude today."

"I'm not hungry." I replied in a monotone.

"Lucifer, I'm not playing around. You need to eat, these bodies need food or they weaken and die and knowing you, you haven't eaten because that would involve getting up." He persisted. Not like either of you would care if I died.

"Huh?"

Shit! Did I say that out loud?

"Nothing" I said hurriedly.

"No. You said something did you hear what it was Ashiya?" Maou said it was obvious that he wasn't going to drop it.

"No sire, but he did say something."

"Fine, I said that I already know that and I don't need a lecture from you of all people." I relented, Maou looked skeptical and Ashiya gasped.

"How dare you disrespect our lord who humbly allows you to live here and feed you?" Maou looked annoyed.

"But I thought I heard you say something about..." he started

"Just drop it! Okay." I yelled and turned back to the computer. It seems my outburst shocked them into silence. That's a first.

"Luci? Is everything... okay?" Maou asked hesitantly. I scowled

"Don't call me that! And everything is fine." I said as my cheeks heated from the name and frustration. I decided they won't leave me be so I went into my cardboard box for what little privacy I could have, but I didn't want to sleep my dreams haven't been pleasant before but they seemed to hit me much worse lately so I hadn't been sleeping lately. Please just leave me alone. It wasn't long till I unfortunately fell into a fitful slumber regardless of my wishes.
