You were walking home from the 24-hour library with tired eyes, puffy too. Red nose from crying in the library. You felt pleased seeing Simeon and Luke there, and then comforting you about your grades. But all you were scared of was Lucifer. Ever since your first failing grade, he would always pressure you. You were okay with it at first, but then it got too pressuring to the point you had enough and nearly lashed out on him. But out of respect and fear, you didn't.
You arrived at the House of Lamentation, you immediately saw Lucifer on the sofa with his average Ellen DeGeneres pose. You had shivers running down your spine as you went near "Sorry I returned late." You bowed slightly and tried to return to your room while trembling. "Do not think I don't know about your grades." Welp, there it is. You hated it when someone would mention something, slightly a big deal, but your grades could be fixed. You sat down in front of him and felt scared, was he gonna yell at you like he did last time? At least Satan came to the rescue.
"You need to better up your grades. What is Diavolo gonna think?"
'There it is, it's always Diavolo this, Diavolo that. Why do I need to better up for some sort of demon prince. Well, nearly king. But I hate it when you mention the slightest things possible. Leave me alone already.' You thought, not even listening.
"What are others gonna think of you? Stupid? Dumb?" That was your final straw. You slammed your hands on the table and walked away. Leaving him shocked. You arrived inside of your room and slammed the door too hard to the point that it re-opened a little. You fell on your knees in front of the wall and started weeping. Not caring of the footsteps near you, they were probably just Leviathan's or Asmodeus's footsteps. You continued weeping on the floor, head rested on your knees with hands covering your head.
"You're so stupid.." You mumbled to yourself. You continued sobbing and rubbing your puffy eyes as your pants were soaked from your tears. "MC.. I'm sorry if what I said hurt you." You looked up and saw a crouching Lucifer in front of you. He opened his arms and pulled you into his embrace. "You're not stupid MC. You just need a little more time to advance now.. I'm sorry for putting too much pressure on you." You don't remember the meeting both of you had earlier as you cried because of his comforting words.
You yawned as you saw Lucifer in front of you, asleep. You felt shocked feeling and seeing yourself in his arms. "Good morning MC." You saw Lucifer smiling at you, genuinely.
You smiled "Good morning to you too, Lucifer."
