The Divine Monster

Chapter 7

The room was small,but it was big for a bedroom,a bed was against the wall in the middle of the room, the closet was acrossed it,it being a walk in.A desk sat near the door along with a couple drawers,the back wall had different shelves for items to be placed on.The walls were a maroon color,the carpet was black,it was a nice room,too nice a room for Daniel.

"The fuck?Why'd they give me this royalty looking room?I literally don't deserve anything that's happened in the last couple hours"He sighed,rubbing his temple with two fingers as he tried to understand everything that had happened.He sat on the bed slowly,taking off his shoes & socks,he removed his jacket soon after.He sat his things in the corner,not knowing what to do with them.He felt like he would be kicked out soon,like someone would come in & angerily say it was their room & he'd quickly rush out muttering apologies.

His anxiety was getting the better of him & he knew it,why would Julican take him here & tell him it was his room,if it wasn't?

He sighed deeply before falling back onto the bed,it was soft & comfortable,not like the infirmary bed.He was so comfortable that he didn't hear the knock at the door, or the sound of the door being opened.He only noticed the things around him when a finger poked him on the nose,followed by a childish giggle.He was already half asleep,which made him less logical,it made him hallucinate,he didn't remember where he was at all.
"Stooooop it!I'm tryinnnng toooo sleeeeeeep,Risaaaaaa!"He whined, the men standing over him stared down at him in a fix of confusion & shock.

"Daniel?Who's Risa?"A male voice asked,he blinked a few times, letting his brain think about that question before something clicked.

He sat up suddenly,his eyes wide, he looked up to see Julican,Yawn, & Lucifer looking down at him.He tilted his head,not knowing what to do or say at this point.He had said Risa,the name of his dead best friend by accident...she always poked him in the nose,it was just instinct to say her name... "Uh...no one.What are you guys doing in here anyway?"He raised an eyebrow at them,Yawn smiled at him.

"We just wanted to see you!Your really fun to be around,y'know!" He grinned widely at Daniel.

"But you just...met me?"He looked away,then back at him nervously, not knowing what else to say.

"That doesn't mean I don't know your fun to be around!Your really funny!Your so confident sometimes,then you become all shy & stuff like your doing right now!"Yawn giggled,poking his cheek happily.

Daniel looked down at the ground, these people were able to figure him out so quickly.
Yawn was acting like they'd been friends for a long time already!
He didn't know any of them that well,hell!He only liked Julican!Yawn was new territory for him, he'd never had someone so... bright talk to him like this before. Lucifer was just...childish,though he wasn't talking at all right now...this worried Daniel a little bit.
"I see...so if you want to talk,let's, um,leave my room?We can go talk somewhere else"He stood up slowly,he was tired but if it would get them out,he would stay awake for a while longer.

A while longer turned into a couple hours of Daniel trying to not fall asleep as they sat in the throne room.They were talking about topics that Daniel,for the life of him,couldn't completely wrap his head around in his sleepy state.

"Hey Daniel?How'd you learn to dodge like how you did earlier? You were so fast that you couldn't have done it without training!" Yawn asked,he knew Daniel was tired,so he was thinking Daniel would be more honest like this.

"I didn't...train...it was just a force of...habit....I've just needed...to dodge a...lot of hits...in my life..." He slurred,not completely realizing what he was saying.

Yawn tilted his head.
"What do you mean?Were you in a lot of fights when you were alive?"

Daniel processed the question,he blinked a few times,staying silent was the best choice.He barely knew them,no way was he gonna spill his life to them.

"Daniel?"Yawn asked,wondering if the taller man had fallen asleep.

Daniel yawned before lazily getting up,he turned & started shuffling his way out of the room. He wanted to sleep,but not here, not in front of them,he didn't trust two of the three of them.

He eventually made it back to his room,he opened the door & smiled,after closing it,he fell onto the bed.Daniel pulled the covers over him,huddling in them,he almost instantly fell asleep.

The next morning,he woke up to someone knocking on his door.He quietly growled at the invasion but stood up & made his way to the door anyway.He opened the door to see a man holding a plate with a cover over it.

"Good morning!I've been told to bring you breakfast from now on! Here is your breakfast,sir!"The man smiled,handing the plate to Daniel before turning around & leaving.

Danuel closed the door before lifting the plate cover,it was bacon,eggs,sausage,& waffles.It smelt like heaven in hell,he sat on his bed & quickly started eating. He hadn't had good food like this in a long time,being in the cellar, then the infirmary for over the last month.When he finished,he set the plate on the bed side table & sighed,not knowing what to do now.

The rest of the day went by with him exploring his room,he found the closet was filled with clothes, though he wasn't sure if they were meant for him or not.
Nobody came to get him so he didn't leave the room,there was no reason to after all.

But that didn't mean he was any less lonely...
