All the hours spent laughing at their outlandish assumptions of modern human social norms while they tried to guess if they were correct or not, and then there were the nights where it was just you and the prince. Thinking of him makes you flush, the cool air of your room burning your cheeks as you recall all the stolen evenings in his and Barbatos's company. Seeing him return to his normal candor and temperament again was a breath of fresh air. It was nice to finally feel comfortable around the demon again. With Simeon acting as your chaperone you start to live again. It took what you are pretty sure was your guardian angel to finally get the brothers to relent. Their protectiveness towards you tried your patience in ways you never expected. All the while you had to butt head with seven of the strongest and most bull-headed men you had ever met. He acts like you were made of spun glass and eggshells, physically trying to keep as much distance between the two of you as possible. It was rocky at first, rebuilding your relationship and trust, with Diavolo after your "run in".
Your finger ghosts over the healing black marks running down your skin. You smile softly to yourself tracing a thumb over your clavicle. It was humorous to watch-just from a distance. Most of the time Lucifer could be seen dragging Belphie to class by the ankle, face stormy with rage. Well, Belphie was more guilty than Levi when it came down to it. They were both book smart and beyond capable with their studies, they just lacked the wherewithal to put the effort in. Bless the Old Gods themselves that at least Levi and Belphie were easy to deal with during these times. Then, on the same day at the other end of the campus, Satan all but totaled a classroom in a fit of rage after another student dared to try and correct him. Poor Lucifer was still scrambling to pay for the damages and trying to find a replacement in time for next week's lessons. Just yesterday Beel lost control in the middle of cram school after the teacher refused to let them out on time for dinner. Even the lesser demons you know can cause some major damage when they reach their boiling point, though it pales in comparison to the havoc the big seven cause. From personal experience, you saw firsthand what happens when a demon gets stressed out. Exam season was rolling in fast and all of the academy was gearing up for the students' and teachers' inevitable breakdowns.
