"Oh my God, are you alright?!" Hana panicked as she saw you hunched over outside of the apartment. She knelt down beside you as you tiredly looked up at her. "I just saw your text, I'm sorry I'm back so late. What happened?"

"I'm fine! I'm just tired. I was out on a mission with Yukio and Akari and..." You gestured vaguely towards your back, "I got into a bit of a tricky situation." You laughed. "I just need a long shower, but I forgot my keys".

Hana opened the door and helped you to your feet, she wrapped your arm around her shoulder and took some of your weight. You both shuffled indoors and made your way to the bathroom. "I can take it from here, thank you Hana".

She hovered in the doorway, unsure of what to do.

"Seriously, I'm okay. I just want to get clean".

She reluctantly left the bathroom and closed the front door. "I'm going to make you a cup of tea, I'll leave it on your bedside cabinet for you." She called out to you.

You thanked her and stepped into the shower after removing your bloody clothes. The hot water stung your back, but you enjoyed the cleansing feeling it provided. You rested your head against the wall of the shower and smiled. As troublesome and immature as Amaimon could be, he did make your body feel good.

Lathering up some soap, you gently washed your body and checked to see if the bleeding had stopped. Thankfully it had and the wounds were much shallower than you'd expected them to be. The scratches on your back were very clearly made by someone or something with long, sharp nails, but most people wouldn't see them anyway.

You stepped out of the shower and wrapped a large, fluffy towel around yourself. You spread out onto your bed and reached over to take the tea Hana had made for you. Your hand hovered as you noticed your phone screen light up. You picked it up and saw that you had 3 new texts, you unlocked it and your heart skipped a beat as you saw Mephisto's name, you'd saved the number from the previous text he'd sent you with the school uniform.

Text one: '(Y/N) I would like to have lunch with you tomorrow afternoon at my place, please be free at 1pm and dress appropriately, Mephisto xoxo'

You rolled your eyes and opened the next text.

Text two: 'Oh, I promise I won't serve instant ramen this time!'

You laughed and sipped the tea Hana had made. You read the final text.

Text three: 'Mr Okumura told me about your injuries during today's mission. He seemed very concerned but couldn't explain what exactly had happened. I would very much like to hear more about your mission tomorrow. Don't be late, Mephisto xx'

You stared at the phone, 'Surely he doesn't know what happened...' you thought. You worried about how he was going to handle the situation, not knowing how demons really thought made you feel anxious.

Hana peeked around the door, "How are you feeling?" She asked. She walked in and sat at the end of your bed, smiling reassuringly.

"I'm a lot better now that I'm not in those clothes!" You laughed but you could tell Hana was still nervous about the state she found you in, you felt guilty for making her worry, especially when the wounds you'd sustained were from Amaimon being a little too rough with you, "I got a little beat up, but I promise I'm okay." You smiled, deciding to distract her with something you knew she'd latch onto, you said, "Oh yeah, I'm having lunch with the director tomorrow, so I think I'm going to go out and buy something more presentable in the morning".

Hana immediately sat cross legged on your bed and you noticed an excited glint in her eyes, "Ooh, lunch! Is it a date? Do you want it to be a date? Is he treating you? Where are you going?"

You laughed and threw a pillow at her, "Slow down!"

She grinned at you.

You looked at your excited cousin's face and debated on how much to tell her, it felt weird sharing personal things of that nature but you did want to talk to someone about what had been happening, you inhaled slowly, "I doubt it will be a date because we're not exactly dating".

Hana's eyes narrowed, "What do you mean by 'not exactly dating'? Are you already in a relationship?!"

You laughed, "Ha! No. I don't think Mephisto would ever commit to a relationship, which is fine with me!"

"So, if you're not dating or in a relationship, are you..." Her voice trailed off as your face turned a vibrant shade of red, "Oh my God, you are!" She threw the pillow back at you, "I knew it!"

"You can't tell anyone though, Hana. It's nothing serious, but I don't know if it's something the others would accept or even understand for that matter!"

Hana nodded thoughtfully, "I won't tell anyone, you have my word".

You smiled and felt a sense of relief. Hana had never let you down before, so you felt confident in her word. You leant back gently in bed and closed your eyes momentarily.

"Are you going to be up to the date... er, lunch tomorrow?" Hana asked as she eyed you questionably.

You nodded your head and opened one eye, "I just need to rest before then. I'll feel fine in the morning, nothing I can't handle!"

Hana got up and kissed your forehead, "I'll leave you to get some beauty sleep for your mister tall, dark and handsome because damn, you need it!" She laughed as she ran out of your room, narrowly dodging another pillow as you threw it laughing.

You lay back and looked at your phone messages again, Mephisto's third text made you feel nervous. You knew that he wasn't opposed to Amaimon fucking you before, but he explicitly told the younger demon not to cum inside you back then. You'd willingly let it happen this time.

'Why is it so important to him anyway?' You wondered as your eyes felt heavier and heavier. You slipped into a deep sleep and sighed as Mephisto's face was the last thing you saw in your mind.
