Chapter 29

Sir Pentious' PoV

I've been feeling odd lately. In a restless kind of way. I tried distracting my self with my machines as I prepared for another fight with either Alastor or that bombing wench of a demon, Cherri.

But no matter how I tried, my mind would keep drifting away and into that demon I met not so long ago who's now staying comfortably in my home for a while. My heart would skip a beat everytime we would 'hang out'. I don't hate it yet I don't like it either.

I want to avoid her completely but I keep longing to be around her and it makes me mad that she would hang around the eggbois more. They're lame and should be left in the corner where they belong, so why does she keep staying around with them? It makes me angry!

I sighed as I curled around myself tighter as I lay in bed. It currently is midnight and I was too tired to work on anything. The room feels cold even with the heater on.

I sat up and crawled out of my room and into the empty hallway. I stopped by the door of the guest room and contemplated whether to open it or not, will I disturb them? Are they even asleep?

My hand rested on the brass knob of the door before twisting it a few seconds later, peering into the darkness as the light slowly crept into the room from the slightly open door.

I looked towards the bed seeing no one so I opened the door wider when a head suddenly popped up from the ceiling.

"Boo!"

I screamed as I fell over, hearing the beautiful laughter of the demon who scared the living daylights out of me.

"That.was.not.funny!! Would you quit doing that!?!?!" I hissed, my heart beating fast from the sudden spook as my face flushed in embarrassment.

"Haha sorry, I couldn't help it" she said wiping a tear off of her glowing eyes.

"Shouldn't you be asleep now? What are you doing still up at this hour?" I asked dusting myself off while looking away. 'How dare she make fool out of me, no one saw but still!'

"I should be asking you the same. What are you doing still up at midnight?" She asked tilting her head cutely—what.

"Hmph! None of your business" I huffed.

I decided to go to the kitchen feeling her following me even though she didn't make a sound.

"Boo~ you're no fun" she said.

"I am PLENTY of fun, but not for the likessss of you!"

"Ok boomer"

'This brat-!'

I stopped and breathed in, turning to look at her seeing her face looking smug just makes me want to show how wrong she is then laugh at her face for ever doubting my words of truth.

I shook my head and continued my way towards the kitchen.

"Why are you even following me?" I asked.

"Why not? I got nothing better to do" she shrugged.

"You can go back to your room to sleep and leave me alone" I huffed.

"So it's my room now?" She grinned.

"Wha-no-I meant- ARGH!!" I facepalmed, hearing her giggles beside me. She's tiring to interact with, maybe if I talked to her, I'll get tired enough to fall asleep. Nah, my blood pressure would be too high and I'd die of high blood before anything even happens.

"I'm kidding! Loosen up Pen, whats gotten you so tense and tired?" She smiled.

"You" I replied not even looking at her even though I saw her flinch on my peripheral vision.

"Oh.. sorry" she said, sadly looking down making me instantly feel bad.

'Wait, why should I care if she feels sad? Is it because we've become... Friends? Companions? Urgh! What the hell am I even thinking!?'

"I was fooling with you, don't think about it." I sighed.

"If you say so!" She said, getting back into her normal cheery mood. 'Thats better'.

"But I won't lie, you are quite the handful." I smirked.

"Hey! No I'm not!" She said puffing her cheeks adorably—stahp.

"Whatever keeps your tears at night" I said rolling my eyes.

We arrived at the kitchen and I went and brewed some coffee since the sun would probably rise soon. How is there a sun and a moon in hell? I don't know, how is there always a little problem you'd cry for, for absolutely no reason? Exactly, don't ask me.

I poured in the coffee on my mug which (Y/n) gave to me not so long ago which looks like a cactus with a small smiling face. She said it was cute, I don't really care, it holds my coffee, it works, I don't give a damn.

We talked for the rest of the night to morning till I had to go back to work, leaving her in the kitchen.

I went back to my room to change my clothes and went to my office to finish the rest of my work.

Today was not that bad.
