Seven Deadly Sins

Enthralling

Three days after the exciting events of Sin-hunting find a certain black-haired girl snoring in bed past her alarm, coaxing the Sin of Sloth to come perch on her windowsill and observe her.

"Why am I even bothering to watch over this lazy ass?" he wondered aloud in annoyance, glancing down on the ground to see Gluttony staring back at him with innocent orange orbs.

"But hyung-"

"Ahhh never mind. So you want to control her and make her eat a lot?" The skepticism was there, and Gluttony noticed it but didn't comment, instead choosing to shoot him a glare at the silent question.

"Yes. Although, keep in mind that gluttony isn't just all about excessive eating, hyung," the Sin said with a chirp, flying over to stand beside the older and bat his eyelashes playfully, earning a light shove at the shoulder.

"Don't do that, kid," Sloth groaned. "Pride will most definitely hit you, since you know what he says."

The young glutton did an eyeroll, sighing out, "I know. We all do. He calls himself 'Universal Handsome', which isn't even-"

A hand slapped over his mouth, blue eyes quickly scanning the surroundings before deeming themselves safe from Pride. At least for now.

"Be quiet!" he hissed, and Gluttony made a show of zipping his lips and throwing the imaginary key away. Sloth sighed, but preferred not to waste his energy trying to talk sense into him. As the saying goes, 'It's hard to argue with a genius. Even harder to argue with an idiot'. He's already spent enough time staying awake to observe this so-called catcher. She even slept past her alarm. Now isn't that darling?

"But Pride said not to go close to her," piped up Gluttony's voice again, somehow softer and quieter than what Sloth is used to. He chanced a glance at his younger brother, and came to a guess that he and the eldest had talked. "After all, she is our downfall, and I'd much rather be free roaming around than be cramped around what they call our home."

Sloth chuckled wryly, completely agreeing. Being cooped up in a box with the same things to stare at are boring. He's always welcome to change, although he'd spend a few decades complaining about adjustment but at least there were always new forms of evil lurking around the globe, and he relished in the violence, especially the ones spiritually lazy, and that was his source of power.

"But if you had a talk, then tell me why we are here, where she could so easily capture us?" Sloth was curious to know.

Gluttony laughed nervously.

"I told him that she was very tempting, and he admitted that she is, and so gave me his permission, so long as I keep my distance from her," confessed the glutton, and Sloth could only regard him with cool blue eyes.

"But you are very close to her."

"Admittedly."

A sigh escaped the older's lips.

"Leave now before she wakes."

Gluttony's eyes met his.

"Shouldn't you be the one, brother?"

Before anyone could say anything else, the young girl stirred from her bed, and the two Sins leave immediately in a gust of wind, Hana looking out her open window in puzzlement. She had the window closed last night. So how did it open?

Ahh crap... she slept past her alarm. For sure Sloth must have visited her if she was being this lethargic and inactive.

Getting out of bed, she mentally went over all the past events, and going over those she had encountered and those she had yet to see in personal.
