"LUCIFER JEWEL WHAT IN HEAVEN'S NAME DID YOU DO?!" Elijah's voice boomed through the tense room. "Nothing Elijah, she's just being sensitive as usual..." Lucifer trailed off, only to be shouted at again, "SENSITIVE DOES NOT LEAD TO HER PLACING A MAGIC LOCK ON MY DOOR YOU IMBECILE! EVEN I CAN'T ENTER MY OWN ROOM NOW!!!" Lucifer was taken aback by this, Elijah couldn’t go in his room either?393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGfU2p7a28
"What do you mean..?" The God sighed heavily, his arms beginning to droop and shoulders sag. "Fine." He exhaled, "Fine, you really need an explanation huh?" with a voice soaked in sarcasm, he dropped his head, pinching the bridge of his nose. “You.” It wasn’t a statement but instead a declaration, “Are a complete, utter idiot. One; you already knew our sweet Ophelia is very sensitive and hurt at the moment yet you throw all of that at her, and two; she’s been learning alongside us for long enough and is an incredible mage. Did you honestly forget that or did you let your own Pride get to your head again?” 393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJMP51v4kH
Lucifer groaned at the use of the word: ‘Pride’. So what if he wanted to let Ophelia know that she was his? So. What. “Just go away Elijah. All of this is your fault anyhow.” Replying with something not short of a grimace, he watched as the glasses-wearer slammed the door to his room and most likely marched to his own to ‘fix’ the issue. “Hah.” The Demon let out a cynical sound, somewhere between a laugh and a huff of irritation. “Not like it’ll change anything with her.” He muttered to himself, resuming his work.
Quietly as he could, Elijah tip-toed to his locked room down the hall, laying his back and head against it. “Ophelia..? Are you awake Love?” Inside, he heard a soft whimper and shuffling of covers, he waited patiently, “Eli..?” The voice cracked and shattered bits of it broke off into a cough as Ophelia wiped her stinging eyes, only a small part of her daring to force her to look at the closed door. “Yeah..” Elijah whispered, reassuringly, trying his hardest not to alarm the human anymore, a sigh of relief slid under the door and right into his ears, “Yeah..I’m here Love..Its just me...” deciding this was the right way to do this, the Halo-wearer turned to face the door, placing his hand and forehead on it, using his mind to murmur, “Love..? You can hear me can’t you..? Please open the door…I won’t hurt you.”
The silence that filled in along with the tension made an even bigger forcefield around the door as Elijah waited and waited and waited. Suddenly, a whoosh sound flew by and as if a curse had been lifted, the tan boy scrambled from his sitting position into a kneeling one to grasp the handle of the door and yank it open, rushing in to swallow his bond in a tight hug. Few moments passed by and they pulled back, Elijah looking around his room and then back at his bond.
His room was darker than normal, not only for the fact that his curtains were pulled closed but also the fact that the aura wasn’t exactly happy there. His covers were tousled, and all over the place, expect for a thin blanket that Ophelia was gripping white knuckled still. The sight of the girl herself was enough to make him gasp. She was completely disheveled and stains of tears and scratches covered her face and body in careless, reckless marks. She hadn’t known what she’d been doing, and instead burrowed herself away in this cavern of sadness. Elijah squinted as she tried to shy away from his scanning eyes, then he noticed the congealing blood coming from her nose.
“Oh dear..” he mumbled, more to himself than to her, “Come, let’s get you cleaned up okay? Then I’ll go get you something to heal those.” He offered, eyeing the scars and blood. For once in about a month he saw Ophelia smile and felt his heart give a deep tug. Then a thought flashed across his mind. Ophelia is not staying ANYWHERE close to Lucifer as much as he could help it.
