Music Under the Spotlight (Lumity Band Au)

Old friends, new talents

Luz POV:

"Luz!" King's squeaky voice called my name as he repeatedly hit my face with his paw. "C'mon get up!" He made sure to smack the bridge of my nose a little harder, making me crack an eye open before lightly shoving him away. 

"Five more minutes." I mumbled in a husky tone, rolling over on my side. King's little footsteps made the wooden boards beneath us creak as he moved over in front of my face. Barely opening my eyes, I saw the demon sitting in front of me with his head tilted slightly to the left. 

He then hit my face again, making me hiss. "But Luz! I'm hungry and I can't wait five minutes!" The tiny demon whined. 

"Then have Eda get you something." I said to him, placing my hand on the top of his head and giving him a soft pat. My hand then slowly slid down his face as I started to doze off again, my hand connecting to the wood floor with a soft thud. His tiny paw smacked my upper arm, a low whine coming from his muzzle. 

"But Eda doesn't know how to make those square cake things!" He complained, smacking my arm again. Rubbing my eyes, I slowly sat up and stretched, wincing as my back popped in a few different places. My body felt a little sore, I really need to ask Eda to get me a mattress or something. 

King hopped in my lap, patiently waiting for me to get up. "Square cake things?" I questioned, unable to understand what he meant because my brain still wasn't up. He frantically nodded his head, his pupils wide. 

"Yeah! The cool little square cake things you would make when you were here! They had little square holes all over it." He pointed his tiny fingers out and poked the air, signaling tiny holes. 

I thought for a moment, wracking my brain for some sort of food that would match that description. "Waffles?" I finally asked, which made King nod excitedly. 

"Yeah waffles! I haven't had them since you left!" He threw his arms up in the air, I just shook my head with a chuckle. Picking up the tiny demon, I got up off the floor and started to make my way downstairs. 

"Does Eda even have the things for waffles?" I asked King, which he just shrugged. "Well, let's hope she does. Otherwise, you might be out of luck."

King laughed, dropping down from my arms and placing his hands on his hips and puffing out his chest. "The mighty King of Demons is never out of luck!" I just rolled my eyes and shook my head as I thought of a few times where the tiny demon's luck fell short. Walking downstairs I noticed how each step loudly creaked underneath my feet. 

The tiny demon bounded down the steps after me, his cute little chuckle lightly echoing off the cluttered walls. The house was surprisingly quiet, which meant that Eda and Hooty were probably still asleep.

We both migrated to the kitchen, King hopped up on the counter and grabbed a large, dark maroon bowl. I made my way over to the cupboards, pulling open a few while I searched for the ingredients. 

"Did Eda move everything in the cupboards or something?" I asked, finding a bag that vaguely resembled flour. Opening the bag, I peered inside and cautiously reached into it, pulling out some white powder. Rolling it between my fingers, it felt like it was flour. 

"Well, Hooty shot out everything in the cupboards awhile back and I'm pretty sure she just put them back in however." King said, scrounging through a drawer to find a whisk. I placed a small bit of the powder on my tongue, confirming that it was actually flour. 

I set the bag on the counter then got King to help me find the rest of the ingredients. Soon enough, we had managed to find everything, or at least something to substitute everything. I held up a purple tinted egg, eyeing it up and down.
