•Black Sheep• || The Devil is a Part Timer || Urushihara / Lucifer

༺Chapter 7༻

"...You mean I get to choose?"

"Mhm! To be honest, I can eat anything, I'm not that picky. So you can choose the snacks!"

Urushihara purses his lips and hums as he considers his options. But his thoughts were interrupted after hearing a certain sound that sent a chill up his spine...

Meow~

In front of the pair sat an adorable stray, calico cat.

"Aww, hello there little guy," Aiko knelt down and the cat immediately made his way over to her, rubbing his head and body against her hand. Urushihara silently took a step backward, but it did not go unnoticed by the female.

"What's wrong Hara? Scared of a stray kitty?" She teases him. In return to the comment, he let out a growl.

"No! Just...imkindaallergic.." he whispers out the last part quickly.

"Sorry, what was that?" Aiko cocks her head to side, looking up at the demon general, but not taking her hand away from the cat.

Crossing his arms over his chest, the purple haired boy speaks again.

"I'm...kinda allergic...to cats."

Silence.

Aiko's lip started to tremble and she bit down on it to keep it from doing so. She was about to break.

'Lucifer, one of the most feared demons alive. One of the most looked up to former Archangels...is afraid of cats. Because he is allergic...to cats.'

A small noise sounded from Aiko's throat and she looked away from the boy to keep from laughing.

"I heard that! It's not funny!"

"I'm not laughing!"

"Then look at me without smiling!"

"......"

"See!"

"I'm sorry! I just didn't expect to hear that,"

"Hmph. Well its not like its uncommon for someone to be allergic to something!"

"You're right, you're right, I'm sorry Hara," Aiko finally looks back up at him as the cat starts walking away.

"Lets hurry up and get some food, it's almost dark out,"

"Uh huh," he holds his hand out to her and she happily takes it, pulling herself up.

"Thanks,"

"No proble-"

Achoo!

Urushihara covers his mouth and nose as he sneezes.

"Oh crap, you grabbed the hand I was petting the cat with!"

"You think?" He sneezes again.

"Alright, here's what we're gonna do..." Aiko opens her wallet and pulls out some money, handing it over to the boy.

"Go pick out the snacks you want, and I'll run over to the pharmacy back by the game shop to get you some allergy medicine,"

"Fine," the boy agrees, sounding a little stuffed and nasally already.

"Meet back here when you are done okay?" He nods and they both go in opposite directions.

"I have to do what now?" Urushihara asks as he throws his hat and sunglasses back in the closet.

"The pharmacist said to put this part in your nose and squeeze the bottle. He said it was called an antihistamine, which helps with allergies."
