"They don't know a damn thing..." Eggpire stretched out on her throne, her vines relaxing. "I think it's too convenient that they forgot what they claim to forget. No memory of where they originate from? No memory of the last code fight other than it was scary? They are playing games."
"Mother, I think they might be genuinely traumatized..." Bad stood in front of her, petting Skeppy on the head.
"Whatever, have you made much progress with Forever?"
"Well, I think he hates me less..." Bad sighed. "I'm going to have them moved to proper guest rooms. The infirmary is cold and the beds are hard. We have enough guest rooms to put two in each."
"If you think their cute, have all the fun you want with them. Just let me know if you hear anything from them of the codes."
-
"Alright, time to figure out rooms!" Bad announced as all the Brazilians stood around him. "Is there anyone that already knows who they would want to share a room with? We'll do two per room."
"Me and Mike will share." Pac offered.
"Okay, perfect." Bad motioned for them to follow and led them to one of the spare bedrooms.
Forever nudged Cellbit. "Vamos dividir um quarto e manter Richas." {Let's share a room and keep Richas.}
"Você não quer compartilhar com seu marido demônio?" {You don't want to share with your demon husband?} Cellbit teased.
Forever rolled his eyes. "Só vou me casar com ele para manter todos vocês seguros." {I will only marry him to keep you all safe.}
Cellbit nodded and got serious. "Eu entendo. Apenas vá em frente com o casamento por enquanto. Nós vamos resolver isso." {I understand. Just go along with the wedding for now. We will figure it out.}
Bad came back into the room. "Bagi, I just ran into Tina. She said you can have a spot in her room. I'm sure you've had enough of being surrounded by men, even if they are family or whatever."
"O-oh!" Bagi stepped forward. "If that's not too much trouble, I guess I could?" She looked at the others, wondering if they approved of her being separate."
"Tina, is she human?" Cellbit asked.
"Uh yup!" Bad nodded. "Very sweet little human. I little dumb, but she means well."
Cellbit nodded. "Bagi, you can room with Tina. I will go with Felps with Richas." Cellbit decided in that moment. He winked at Forever, "Jogue junto com este jogo." {Play along with this game.}
Forever stepped forward. "Eu contigo." {Me with you.}
Bad's eyes opened in surprise. "You want to stay in my room?" He looked at Cellbit for confirmation.
"Yes, he'd like to share with you. If that's alright."
"Well, that'll be fine." Bad's tail started to sway happily for the first time in awhile. "Follow me, this way." Bad led Cellbit, Felps and Richas to another spare room. He got back to the infirmary so fast that he left marks in the floor. "So, Forever." He leaned on the doorframe. "Me and you?"
Forever blinked at him. "Você está se esforçando demais." {You're trying too hard.}
"Vamos!" {Come on!} Bad led Forever to his own bedroom, hoping it had been tidied by Roier or Fit. Bad opened his room door and presented it like it was a wonderland. "Meu quarto!" Bad said proudly, proud that he was actually remembering some words in Portuguese from his reading.
"Isso é...nice." Forever spoke hesitantly. "I like."
Bad got even more excited. "Eu estou feliz! {I'm happy!}
Forever rolled his eyes and scoffed. He walked in and looked around. It was standard rich people chic. He noticed a pillow at the end of the bed. Matched with a small blue blanket and a smaller pillow on top. The big pillow looked dented in the middle but Forever didn't need to wonder about it. "Você dorme com aquele garoto diamante..." {You sleep with that diamond boy...}
"Uh is there a Problema?" Bad frowned.
Forever scoffed again and for a second it was a genuine laugh. "Fofo." {Cute.}
Bad sat on the bed. "You just have to be careful you don't hurt Skeppy..."
Forever shrugged Bad off. Then it hit him that there was obviously one bed in Bad's bedroom. He'd have to sleep with him. "De jeito nenhum." {No way.}
"Are you okay?" Bad stretched, coincidentally reading Forever's mind. "Demons don't really sleep like people do. It's not a necessity, more of a meditative activity for us. So, you can have the bed at night and I can catch up on work– crap, you don't fully understand me." Bad facepalmed. "Darn it...welp...uh Você está feliz?" {Are you happy?}
"Nunca." {Never.}
-
That night Bad gave Forever more blankets than a person needed. He didn't want Forever's fragile human skin to get too cold in the chilly castle. "Estas com...uh frio?" {Are you cold?}
"No, no. Obrigado." {Thank you.}
"Nice...I will be in the library then...uh...Biblioteca?" {Library.}
"O que?" {What?}
"Eu na biblioteca." {Me in library.}
"Ah, okay." Forever understood and started getting comfortable in the bed. He was surprised Bad wasn't going to use this as an opportunity to be close to him.
Bad smiled and picked up Skeppy as he walked into the room. He set Skeppy on top of the vanity and began humming. Forever watched in confused fascination. Forever tilted his head as Bad poured some water into a porcelain bowl. With a small cloth he washed Skeppy. Then Bad opened a drawer in the vanity and pulled out a baby's sleeping dress. He removed Skeppy from the little baby pants he was already wearing and changed him into the night dress. He smoothed some hair conditioner into Skeppy's hair and combed it through. It was a whimsical sight for Forever.
"Gosh, you're so sleepy." Bad brought Skeppy to the bed and placed him on his pillow. Skeppy kneaded the pillow, even biting it until it was just right. He flopped down and got tucked in by Bad. He made grabby hands until Bad put a small teddy bear in his arms. "Goodnight, don't give any trouble to our new roommate." Bad kissed the back of his hand and then held his hand to Skeppy's cheek. "I love you, s'geppy. Sleep well."
Forever rubbed his shoulder awkwardly. As strange as it was, it was also very sweet. A demon being so gentle with a creature much tinier and subjectively weaker than it. "Eu também." {Me too.} Forever joked.
Bad looked up at Forever. "What, you want to be tucked in?" He walked over.
Forever laid in the bed and lifted his arms to be tucked like Skeppy did.
Bad giggled and started tucking Forever in. "You're so cute!" He cooed. "Kiss too?"
"O que?" {What?}
"Sorry, got a little carried away!" Bad gave Forever a pat on the head. "Good human. I'll see you in the morning. Boa noite." {Goodnight.}
