Time skip to 6:37AM

You open your eyes, your phone playing that irritating 'song' if you could call it that. You reach for your phone and turn off the alarm  sitting on the nightstand. You feel a shift on the other side of the bed and you look at Diavolo, he turned around, he's now facing you. "Good morning" you say in a low tone, sounding very tired. He only nods. "I have work at 8, I'll go out at 7:50. Today I'll finish work at 5 or 6pm. After that, I'll go buy you some clothes. These days there are good sales, up to 50% off! I will buy you simple jeans and button up shirts for now. Then tomorrow, we'll have to go together to make you some official documents a residency permit. I'll figure out a way to convince them to do that. And yeah, we'll figure stuff out." You give him a sweat smile and you stand up. "I don't know if you want to work or even go out, but I think It'd be dangerous, first of all, you're recognisable. People will think that you're a cosplayer, but will still bother and follow you. And yeah, I don't know." You walk to your closet and get out your clean uniform.

"I can work, and I'll tell people to go away" he states. "Well, it depends, what could be a fitting job for you? You know both Italian and English, you could work on lingual jobs, hell, even a teacher! But girl students will attack you" you laugh and you sit back on the bed, holding your uniform in hand. "A teacher..I could..try" he tells you and you look at him with a soft expression, "I know that you don't like being around too many people, I can already imagine it being hard for you, knowing that lots of people know who you are. Technically your identity here isn't a secret. And your hair and features, you'd be attached. You don't have to do this" you smile brightly at him, "my work doesn't provide much, I work in a bakery, it's really popular here and lots of people come, but I can still manage paying for both of us. I don't have to bother for rent, I bought this apartment, maybe the electricity bills, yeah but, you get the point. You don't have to." You reassure him.

"I don't like repeating myself, after finishing all the documents, I can become an Italian teacher. But how? Don't you have to apply with a university diploma and all that?" He asks you, you look at his eyes, softly, he's really trying to change "yeah, but there are also these competitions, you can apply in them and pass all the tests, after you do that, you can officially become a teacher if you get selected. There's actually a high request for Italian teachers here so they can't deny you." You explain and he nods. "Then I'll do that" he tells, you nod and reply saying "then, I'll buy you the books necessary for studying for the tests, and for understanding how they generally work and what you should do." He nods at your explanation.

You stand up an walk to the door "I need to shower or I'll be late, the house is yours, if you need anything, don't hesitate" you explain before getting out, proceeding to walk to the bathroom.
"A teacher..huh" he chuckles to himself, 'that sure will be something new'.

He stays sit on the bed, all of this is new to him and he's digesting all of these new stuff.

A few minutes later, after you're done showering and you walk out, dressed in your uniform, you go to the kitchen to make a quick breakfast. You notice that Diavolo Hasn't got out the room, you decide so make him two sunny side up eggs and bacon slices, well, because that's what you usually make to yourself and because he's a buff guy, he needs to eat to keep his form. You start cooking and humming some random songs to kill time. A few minutes later and you're done! You plate everything and you put the two plates on a tray, you don't know if Diavolo likes Juice or coffee so you'll just ask him later. You take the tray and walk back to your room. You kick the door open and peek your head inside, finding Diavolo, still sitting on the bed, probably thinking.
