A Million Doors to You (An Obey Me! Barbatos X MC Fanfiction Story)

Chapter #6: The Meaning of the Broken Card

The next day, Barbatos has returned to RAD and resumed his studies. He acted accordingly like the perfect demon butler that he is like nothing ever happened. He caught up with his studies immediately since he was only gone for a day and he aced this day's tests and quizzes with ease. Everything seemed normal like he never missed yesterday's classes at all. He focused on his studies, finding this a good distraction from yesterday's disappointment and embarrassment.

After Diavolo left, Barbatos took his time climbing up the steps towards the top of the staircase where the last, unopened door stood. As he climbed step by step, countless thoughts came rushing through his mind.

Step.

Will he see what he desires?

Step.

Will it be the right door?

Step.

Will he finally have the girl of his dreams?

Step.

Or will he face his worst fear? That he will never acquire love from the girl he desires?

He shook the last thought away as he reached the top of the staircase and faced the unopened door.

"Do not get too disappointed if the time you desire did not come for you."

Diavolo's words echoed in his ears as he placed a hand on the door knob and pushed it open.

The school bell rang, signaling the beginning of lunch time.

Barbatos packed up his stuff and went out of the classroom. He was supposed to be having lunch with Diavolo as usual during these hours, but Diavolo is not in RAD this day because of some urgent business. Thus, he will have lunch on his own. Fitting, though, because he would like to be alone for the time being.

As he calmly walked down the staircase towards the RAD Cafeteria, he heard a few shouts from behind him and he immediately went out of the way. Mammon and Belphegor came running down the stairs towards the cafeteria.

"Looks like yakisoba bread is being served today," Barbatos thought.

Lucifer's voice boomed from the top of the stairs calling out his brothers, but the Mammon and Belphegor did not pay attention.

Barbatos opened up his locker and placed his bag there. When he locked it, he saw Leviathan hastily tapping on his D.D.D. in front of his own locker across the hall.

"Games," he thought.

Near Leviathan, Barbatos caught a glimpse of Asmodeus looking at the top to bottom mirror inside his own locker. He always sees Asmodeus in this situation before the narcissist demon heads off to lunch.

Soon, Barbatos arrived at the RAD Cafeteria. The place is already buzzing with life as students stood in the lunch line and picked out their lunches.

As Barbatos stood in the lunch line, he looked around and saw Satan and Beelzebub sitting in the long table that is reserved for them and their brothers. While Satan is busy reading his book while munching on his fried lizards, Beelzebub is already wolfing down his own meal.

Not too long after that, Barbatos has already ordered his own meal and sat alone in his usual seat in the cafeteria.

Barbatos munched on lazily on his sandwich when a girl came up to him.

"Hello, Barbatos," the girl greeted.

Barbatos looked up and saw the her holding her own tray of food. Barbatos smiled and greeted her and offered her the seat in front of him to which she gladly took.
