Normal POV

Alright! Last day before Diavolo's exams.

For the past two months, after choosing the most appropriate online course, Diavolo has been studying almost every day for two, maybe three hours. Life has been going good, the routine was usual, the morning run, cooking, work, cuddling and watching TV, him studying and then going to sleep.

He would tell you that he doesn't mind the studying, it's actually pretty relaxing to him. The course was about how to be a teacher, meaning:
- know basic laws and such to be a teacher
- what an Italian teacher must teach through the years
- programs he'll have to teach
- documents he'll need
- how to plan tests and how to correct them
- how to treat students
- do's and don'ts in bad situations with students
- how to teach from English (or Native language) to Italian
- the levels of teaching
Etc etc, you'd go and get him the necessary books from the library, make him coffee while he studies, sit with him and observe to not leave him alone and overall to observe what he does. He is really..dedicated in what he is learning, you almost don't recognize the Diavolo You originally knew in the anime. He looks serene, he's starting all over again and it fills your heart with warmth and joy.

Tomorrow is his first exam, he's sorting the last stuff needed and revising on his notes while you're in the kitchen, making coffee for him. After you were done preparing the hot beverage, you walk back to him with the coffee and some cookies on a tray, he seems to really like the cookies you make, it's the only thing you cook decently sense you work in a bakery. You go to the living room where you added a desk -so he can study on it-, a comfy chair so his back wouldn't hurt, shelves on the wall so he can put his studying books there and you also gave him your laptop so he can take the online course there, and because it's more useful from a phone when it comes to work. You set the tray on the desk and take a chair from the living room and drag it to the living room, sitting cross him. "Diavolo, take a break and drink that coffee or you'll get too tired" you tell him, he does look a bit tired sense this week he has been studying four to six hours a day, today he's been studying for seven and you need to come to him every here and there to tell him to take breaks.

He sighs, "alright" he replies to you, supporting his back on the comfy chair and stretching his arms, groaning. You giggles at him, "I'm sure you'll do great" you reassure him and he simply nods, slightly smiling. Over there months, he has learned to be more open with you, he started smiling more, even laughing here and there, he's not afraid to cuddle with you and be friendly. He started drinking his coffee, while drinking he'd eat a cookie here and there. Tomorrow you decided to ask for permission of a day off so you can accompany him to exam and thankfully your boss gave you the permission, you actually asked for days off from the 24th to the 28th so I can go with him everyday and help him study so he wouldn't overload himself from work.

You prepared his clothes, making sure they're clean and ironed. You took a white shirt and back pants with a black belt to add a good touch. He'll have to have his sleeves down and not up as usual because, he has tattoos, they're really cool but he needs to do a first good impression, he can have them up like always after the exams. You prepared all the books and documents he'll need in a bag so he is prepared and you prepared ingredients in the fridge to make him a lunch box tomorrow. He might be huge and not as muscular as everyone thinks, but he sure eats a lot.

You simply say there, looking at him reading his notes, it has been half an hour and you glance at the clock, it's 12:47AM, it's late and he has the exam at 11AM so he should go sleep now. "Diavolo" You call him, your eyelids feel a bit heavy from being a bit tired from today's work, you worked till ten because of the fact that you'll be taking four days off. He glances at you, he looks calm and confident in what he studied bit he also looks tired. You gently smile at him, "let's go sleep, no?" You propose, he slightly smiles back and nods, closing the laptop and setting all the books he was using in their place on the shelf then walks to you and pats your head, "you could have gone to sleep without me" he tells you and you giggle, a slight blush on your face, "I could have, but I didn't" you tell him, feeling a warm sensation in your chest, you have been getting these feelings for a while now but you're not sure what is. He chuckles, "you're sure a stubborn one" he teases you and you nod.
