Did The Angels Kick You Out?

Chapter 18

Right now we're in a cafeteria of a small inn. The whole place made of oak gives it very cozy look. Though the atmosphere within us look anything but cozy.

Cyan might often get grumpy and all but this time he looked seriously upset... I understand that he cares but I don't understand why. Why would someone go for such lengths for a stranger..

"Umm are you still angry..?" I asked.

He lifted his eyes from his food to glare at me and then started eating again not giving me a glance.

Zen sighed beside me. "C'mon Gramps! If you're gonna act like this then I'll tell all your embarrassing secrets to her.

"Try that and You. Are. Dead" He glared at his best friend.

"Scary.." i commented.

"By the way, Evan and Chris would be in the castle. Do you wanna meet them? Zen asked Cyan.

I looked at him to ask who he was talking about and he continued to me.
"They are also our friends. They both are fairies."

"You sure has lot of friends moreover of different races for a devil of your personality.."

"Better than being a lone shut in geek" He said without looking up.

"I had friends!"

"I doubt 'friends' is the right word to call them"

This was my turn to pout...

He then got up and left muttering, "I'm tired"
"He didn't look like a massive worrywart as he is.." I said.
"He doesn't used to be... But now he is overprotective" Zen smiled. A hint of sadness?

I didn't speak again. After we finished our dinner. Zen bid me Good night in front of my room which was just next to theirs.

I went in and sighed in relief. Today was a long day... I looked over at the balcony. I bet I could see entire milky way galaxy! The night sky at this place was superb! I can stare at it forever. I sat down at the balcony seeing the sky and getting some fresh air though it was a little chilly.

After half an hour I heard a knock at the door. I got up and opened to find Cyan.
"..Hey!" I said.

He came in and shut the door behind.
I looked at his back as he made his way to the balcony. "Still careless as ever no? He turned his head to look at me. "Don't you think it's better to ask who it is than opening the door recklessly in the middle of the night?"

I looked at him embarrassed. I mean yeah i get it but still he is such a ..Daddy

He then leaned against the balcony.
I went to him copying his actions.
"What is it?" I asked. I hope he wasn't here just to test me for the door.

"Nothing"

"Then why are you here?"

"Can't I be?"

If course not! I need sleep! How am I supposed to sleep with a devil wandering around my room!? But I keep that to myself.

"Then let me ask, I've never got to and you never stated clearly. Why are you helping me? You won your bet, and I'm supposed to stay dead. So why?"

He looked me in the eye. His eyes... I've never seen them so sad before... Is he hiding something?

"I-" he said as if he wanted to say something. But then looked away. "Because I want to. I do whatever I want"

I wasn't satisfied with this answer. And was aware that wasn't true in the least. But I don't want to push him when he looked so disrupt..

"Well then.." I sighed. "What do you do for fun?" I asked changing the topic.

He looked surprised by such a topic change but then smirked.
"At least you learned not to ask what-names-do-you-use-to_insult-someone to change the topic of conversation"

I flushed red at that embarrassing memory. I was here trying to help him not be awkward and here he is mocking me!!

"Shut up!" I yelled embarrassed.

He laughed at my reaction.. making me more embarrassed.
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! And get out!!"

"Yeah, i should, don't want you to hide your face in a pillow rest of your afterlife" he said through laughs.

After that he left saying Good Night in his usual cheery tone.

After he left I collapsed on the bed. Oh.. He looked fine now I thought. Wonder if making me a little mortified was all he need to cheer himself up...
I looked up at the ceiling.

Well... I'm fine as long as it is not in front of others I thought as I felt heat dusting my cheeks. Ahhh what is wrong!? My stomach churns weirdly! I hugged the pillow tight as I tried to sleep the night and my thoughts away.

A/N
What do you think is wrong with them?
Cyan act like a grandpa, but he IS 4000+!  We understand!
but Aria? She acts like a middle schooler now!
And Zen? Maybe he needs more screen time or ..should I say reading time..?
