Tassek opened the door and smiled, especially when he saw that Seculus wasn't there. "Hey. How was your day?"

I was taken to the back yard and introduced to Daisuke, an athletically built Japanese boy who seemed like the hardworking type. "So you're the new guy, huh? Great, put this on and we'll get started." He tossed me a folded set of clothes and pointed me towards the changing room. I was getting more and more suspicious every second.

"It was the same as any other day." She answered, hands in her hoodie pockets. "What about you?"

2015-04-27 04:01:01

"Pretty much the same. Didn't fail a test. Almost got shoved into a trashcan."

It occurred to me that this was the first time I'd changed out of the clothes I'd appeared in. ....maybe I should wash these. The uniform was nothing /too/ fancy, it resembled something a Victorian butler might wear, but slightly more modern. That was probably a contradictory statement. Somehow it fight my stick-like frame and I went back out to the main room. The owner applauded and Daisuke nodded with approval. "Works with the glasses. Hair provides a nice contrast. Ready for your first day, Seth?" "....it's Seculus." "Right. Gotcha. Stay in character." "What...?"

"Do I have to follow you to school and kick somebodies ass?" She joked, smiling.

2015-04-27 04:12:19

🌀

He laughed. "Nah, I can kick 'em myself. Thanks for the offer, though."

Daisuke gave me a little pad to keep notes of orders on and not much else. Well, a pen, of course, but other than that. I began prowling the floor nervously, looking for newly arrived tables, and he followed close behind, looking amused.

"If you say so. I'm always here for backup, however."

2015-04-27 04:22:15

🌀

"Haha, I'll keep that in mind. So, what'd you come over for?"

I almost jumped when a table full of female customers who had very clearly already ordered called in my direction, calling me 'Glasses Guy'. They giggled at my reaction and when I came over leaned forward to ask question, apparently finding entertainment in how flustered I became. "So, what's your sign?" "You're the new boy, huh? What's your name?" "Haha, I think he's shaking!" My responses were "My what?", "Yes, and Seculus, why?" and "I most certainly am not," respectively.

●

"Well I didn't think you'd want to come back over yesterday, so I came to you."

2015-04-27 04:29:47

🌀

"Oh, I guess I did say you should do that. Come in." He held the door open for her.

They didn't seem to want to do anything other than talk to me, and even invited me to sit at their table with them. I glanced over at Daisuke, and he nodded. Wow, this place really was casual. They moved aside so I could sit near the middle, and I tried to calm down. Smile and nod. Well, um, maybe not quite, but I couldn't make an idiot of myself. So I just focused on the conversation, speaking as I normally would. They seemed to like it.

"And here I thought you'd never ask." She sarcastically spoke as she entered the home.

He closed the door behind her, wincing when he looked back at his mess of an apartment. "Sorry, I didn't have time to clean up..."

2015-04-27 15:13:09

●

"Don't worry about it." Maybe cleaning the mess would magically make the bird he had more pissed off at her.

2015-04-27 15:29:55

🌀

....I don't think it works that way, lady. "Well, if you really don't mind...did you want to do something?"

2015-04-27 15:33:08

●

Well, perfect time bring it up. "I actually wanted to talk to you about Seculus."

2015-04-27 15:34:47

🌀

His smile faded. Oh no you don't, bitch. "What about him?"

2015-04-27 15:36:21

●

She cleared her throat. "I think you've been a little hard on him."

2015-04-27 15:37:24

🌀

"I just found out this guy's been influencing my decisions since I was a kid, and considering the amount of fuck-ups I've made, you think I'm being /hard/ on him? I'm being lenient."

2015-04-27 15:41:23

●

"Yeah, and I've made a lot of fucked up decisions too, and if I was in your position, I'd be head over heels about this. He's your /angel/, Tassek. Shouldn't that mean something to you?"

2015-04-27 15:44:27

🌀

"Should it? I still have no idea who he is, just that he was in my head, and that freaks me out. I'd be just as irritated if the devil himself showed up at my door."

2015-04-27 15:52:02

●

"Well, it's not like he had a choice in the matter, it just happened. You should least try to get to know him."

2015-04-27 15:54:21

🌀

".........." Dammit, I can't argue anymore. Oh, wait! "Yeah, he did. He said it happened because he went 'rogue', right? It's his fault he's here at all."

2015-04-27 15:58:46

●

"Well maybe he didn't think this would happen. Either way, don't you think it'd be safe to assume that since he's the angel, that the other side is still in there? And that you might need is his help with it sometime in the future?"

2015-04-27 16:01:46

🌀

....shit. "Huh? You mean a devil?" He scowled. "I can deal with it by myself." Atta boy, kid.

2015-04-27 16:04:34

●

"I don't think you can." She answered plainly. "Honestly, I don't think you even know what it's capable of."

2015-04-27 16:05:33

🌀

"I can take care of myself sometimes! I don't always need you guys to protect me!" He took a deep breath and lowered his voice. "...sorry. But let me deal with this one. It's my problem." Haha, you're more like goody-two-shoes than you think, and that's gonna be your downfall.
