||Barbatos||

You shut the device off and placed it by your nightstand.

Even as the lights turned off, the faint glow of the rose remained. You gazed at it for a few moments as you laid down.

Then you turned your back on it.







"--sked you to buy?"

"...I forgot, sorry. I'll get you a pair later."

You rounded a corner at RAD. There, stood Solomon and Asmodeus. The two noticed your presence. Solomon smiled. "Oh, nice to see you."

"How dry." You chuckled. Solomon held back a laugh. He then shook his head, smile broadening. "My bad."

"Where is it now, (M/n)?" Asmodeus spoke up. You tilted your head to the side in confusion, only to perk up at the realization. "Oh! I left it back at the house. I don't really have a reason to carry it around."

"I see..." The male trailed off. Solomon gazed at you in a questioning manner. "What are you two talking about?"

Asmodeus opened his mouth to say something, only for you to cut him off. "Oh, well... Barbatos gave me one of those roses yesterday."

"Roses...?" Solomon pondered to himself. Then his expression lit up. "Oh! You mean one of those roses that bloom with couples?"

"Yeah!"

Solomon seemed thoroughly amused with this information. Asmodeus couldn't bring himself to smile, something the sorcerer didn't fail to notice. Due to this, Solomon's grin wavered.

You laughed. "I didn't expect a gift like that from Barbatos either. I mean, it's him we're talking about."

"...Indeed it is..." Solomon's eyes flickered over to the champagne-haired male before back at you. Only now had he noticed the gloves you wore.

"...I didn't know you liked to wear gloves too."

Asmo clenched his jaw.

"Oh, this? I got it from Asmo yesterday."

Solomon closed his eyes before forcing out a chuckle. "Alright. Though, I suppose I should go since my class is starting soon. See you!"

You hummed in response. You turned to Asmodeus. "I'll see you later too, I have to go visit Barbatos."

You waved a hand before leaving. Asmodeus could do nothing but frown as he stared at your retreating back.

You took out your phone and checked your messages.

A check mark was missing from your previous messages. You sighed. Was he really that busy?

You halted in front of the Student Council room. You took a peek inside and saw Barbatos looking over a few documents in a separate desk from Diavolo. You pressed your lips together, making a move to leave unnoticed, only for Diavolo to notice your presence.
