Intro:

(Azazel's POV)

I woke up from the sun shining on my face. I was so tired from having to run from those fans yesterday, that I didn't even take my clothes off. Well, not exactly mine; I was still wearing Callie's jacket and beanie.

Azazel: Oh my God! I need to buy blinds for these windows!

I got up, went downstairs, and got myself some breakfast.

Pearl woke up a little bit later, while I was still eating breakfast.

Pearl: You're up early.

Azazel: That, or you woke up late.

Pearl: I need optimum sleep time. You think beauty like this happens naturally?

Azazel: Are you saying you need to work to look good?

Pearl: Yes. No! Wait- That's not what I meant.

Pearl looked a bit agitated now.

Azazel: Relax, I was kidding. You look great.

Pearl smiled at this.

Pearl: At least you can recognize it.

Marina then entered the room, followed by Juvia.

Marina: *Yawn* Why didn't you two wake me up?

Pearl and I looked at each other confused.

Pearl & Azazel: You didn't ask?

Marina: True, I guess.

Juvia: Oh, breakfast. *She smiles*

Marina and Juvia sat down, and started eating. I, now done with my food, started washing the dishes. After a minute, Pearl added her dishes to the sink.

Azazel: Really?

Pearl: What? Might as well give you some use, when you're crashing here for free.

Azazel: Then what if I just paid to stay here?

Pearl: Aww. You couldn't afford it.

Azazel: Probably.

I looked over to my other side, to see Marina and Juvia standing there with their dishes.

Marina: Sorry, but do you mind doing mine too?

Juvia: Same here, as well?

Azazel: Sure.

Pearl: So they get a pass?

Azazel: That's because they asked.

Pearl: You know, it's not wise to choose favorites.

Azazel: I'm not choosing favorites. You're all my friends.

This made Marina and Juvia smile, and Pearl blush.

After a couple minutes, I got a text from Marie.

Marie: Hey! Are you free today?

Azazel: Yeah. What do you need?

Marie: Nothing, just wanted to see if you wanted to hang out with me at work today.
