Lucifer's mattress repeatedly bounced under your weight as you excitedly jumped onto his bed, indicating how much you anticipated what might be Lucifer's surprise for your birthday. Classes finished moments ago, and since you were unable to wait any longer for Lucifer to come find you himself, you barged into his bedroom without him knowing. Your impatience was mostly caused by Lucifer-deficiency from not seeing him all day.

You stared at the clock hanging on the wall, counting down the seconds when Lucifer might be finished with his student council duties. What should be seconds turned into hours as time passed by exasperatedly slow, showing no signs of Lucifer coming anytime soon. Bored out of your mind, you slightly regretted rejecting the offer of the demon brothers to throw a party. Nonetheless, you stayed seated on Lucifer's bed, looking forward to his present. You also convinced yourself that he might be buried in paperwork and cannot leave so easily.

Nearing midnight, the door softly creaked as Lucifer entered his room. Switching on the lights, he paused as he found you settled at a chair beside the bed. With bloodshot eyes, you stared at Lucifer eagerly, signaling him to just greet you a happy birthday to end your misery. Unfortunately, Lucifer did not meet your expectations. Under his heated gaze, Lucifer gave an earful. "Why are you still awake? We have classes tomorrow."

Your left eye twitched, holding onto your temper. You nudged him further. "Aren't you forgetting something?"

You witnessed Lucifer rack his brain, wondering what he should be remembering. The thread within you snapped when he responded innocently, "No, I don't think so. Did you want a kiss good night?"

Before Lucifer could kiss you good night, you shot up from the chair and exited his room, leaving Lucifer clueless to his misdeed. As soon as you reached your room, without exerting any more energy, you dropped onto your bed, cursing Lucifer mentally before losing consciousness.

The following morning, you were no longer mad at Lucifer; however, there were lingering feelings of disappointment. It became even more apparent when Lucifer remained indifferent during breakfast and was not reflecting on last night's unresolved issue. Satan, at your side, immediately noticed your lack of appetite. "What's wrong MC? Are you mad that we didn't throw you a party?"

On cue, everyone's attention shifted to you with Leviathan speaking up. "If you wanted a party, you should have come by room so we could play all night. I'll even let you win."

Before you could deny their allegations, the oblivious Lucifer spoke up. "Party? Why would you throw a party?"

"Well, it's her birthday so we should throw her a party." Mammon answered, as a matter of fact.

At the mention of the special event, Lucifer was taken aback. "Birthday? Who's birthday?"

"Come on, brother. You actually forgot about MC's birthday? I guess that is why MC is so sad." Asmodeus complained, glaring at his older brother.

Last night's event instantly popped into Lucifer's head, finally getting the gist of the situation. With this, the mystery was unveiled, and the Avatar of Pride faced you, appearing remorseful. "I'm so sorry, MC. I was so busy last night that I forgot."

Despite his sincere apology, you were still distraught and could not bring yourself to be the bigger person. Instead of forgiving Lucifer, you stood up and muttered. "I'm heading out first."

Outside the House of Lamentation, you walked briskly, admitting to yourself that you were being childish. Lucifer had his own circumstances and you should understand that. Still, celebrating your special day without your loved one was disheartening. After some contemplation, you decided to apologize to Lucifer later on after classes.

Nearing the academy, you were shocked to hear a familiar voice calling out behind you. "MC!"

You spotted Lucifer several meters away from you and judging from his expression, guilt was still weighing on him. After taking some steps, he closed the distance between you. Towering before you, he softly said. "I'm sorry MC. Will you forgive this pitiful demon? I'll accept any of your punishment." You examined his handsome features, convinced that he was repenting. The corner of your lips curled up at the poor state of this prideful demon, bowing his head before you. This time, it was not hard to forgive him. "I forgive you."

In a flash, his face brightened up. "We're not fighting anymore?"

You beamed. "We're not even fighting in the first place. Also, I'm sorry for not understanding your situation."

"It's alright. It's my fault for forgetting such a special day." The sound of his voice was sweet before it changed into a mischievous tone. "But I can't forgive you for leaving me dry last night. I'm going to have to punish you."

You tilted your head, confused why the tables were now turned. "What? What did I do?"

Your face was trapped between his hands before he planted a passionate kiss on your lips. He licked his mouth when he separated from you, his hands still cupping your cheeks. "Since I didn't get my kiss last night, we need to make up for it later. Stop by room again. I'll punish you all night."

You chuckled. Make-up sex as a gift? What a sadistic demon.
