The second part of the Beel x fem!mc
The part in which the gifts are given out
Full hearts
And
Empty Confessions
"Alright! ,To to kitchen!" Maura said and Beel responded with vigor and followed her down to kitchen, which was unfortunately occupied by Lucifer and unlucky he had found the Demonus wine she had hid ,thank GOD? she hid another in her room.
"Good morning,Lucifer how are this fine morning?" She was trying to push Beel back ,who just realised who was sitting in the way of his free food in the kitchen.
"Good morning,Maura I see you have plans for the kitchen today?"
He looked through her so easily No wonder Mammon felt like he was glass around him.
" Yes but it won't cause any trouble, I promise "
He used his wrist to spin the rest of the wine his wine glass and looked over at Beel his face never revealing it had he thought.
"Alright , and I'll continue it secret from everyone else no one will come to the kitchen today or tomorrow but-" He got up in his pristine night wear,it looked more like he had just put it on rather than he actually slept in it even when she was trying to push Beel back ,who just realised who was sitting in the way of his free food in the kitchen.
"Alright , and I'll continue to keep it secret from everyone else. No one will come to the kitchen today or tomorrow but-"
He got up in his pristine night wear,it looked more like he had just put it on rather than he actually slept in it even when he stood Infront of her she could smrll that the scent of fabric softener was stronger than that of his body.
-so he did just put it on. She said in her mind.
He looked down at her expecting something,
"Thank you Lucifer, I owe you one "
He gave his usual placid smile and replied
" Of course you do and so do you Beel"
He said as he looked over the Beel .
"Don't make too much of a mess of the kitchen and you still have to make breakfast ,lunch and dinner preparations for both Today and tomorrow but as promised no one will come into the kitchen otherwise there will be punishment for them."
He said that last part with the sadistic tone he often had.and a uncomfortable shiver ran down both of Thier spines.
Thank goodness we're not on the receiving end...for now. She exhaled silently.
"I'll inspect the kitchen every night though , every spec of dust or misplaced item equals chores to be done, so Tidy. up."
He looked them over at the pair ,delighting in seeing them well over the brim of scared when he left.He knew they got the message for sure now.
"First inspection is at 7pm sharp!" He said leaving.
The demon ,that's right after we finish making dinner . She thought.
They started promptly, it was 6 am and the brothers won't be down for breakfast until 8 am so simple treats would be the first to be made the first to be made
" Alright ! it's 6 am now and breakfast is at 8 am so the first treat well make will be the cookies !"
Beel had already grabbed the flour and sugar " -and we can have pancakes and eggs for breakfast so it's less stuff that's out to clean up".He said promptly.
" Righto!" She said and that began the first of cookies came out too salty and the next flat out burnt but then the last batch came out just right ,gooey at the centre and crispy at the edges she took one front the tray and held it over to Beel who was mixing up the next batch of cookie batter.
He opened his mouth and closed it for a bite but she pulled it away just in time . She chuckled at his little look of betrayal.
" Now Beel, this is a promise Cookie , an oath Cookie . This means ,if you choose to eat it ,you can't say a thing about this the baking ,the reason why youre in he kitchen with me or why you're allowed so many treats until Tuesday which is the day after valentine's."
"I wasn't going to say anything either way , or is this a human thing like a human pack? I thought you didn't have powers"
" its like a pact but it's more like your integrity is on the line"
"Alright,I promise to not say anything about this to anyone until Tuesday"
Then he opened his mouth and impatiently, patiently waited for the cookie she gave it to him and smiled as he melted to the taste of it.
"is it good?"
"Delicious"
She nodded and left the rest to cool down on a iron rack while she got out the missing ingredients for the pancakes .
After breakfast decided to move onto the cakes . One for Solomon , one for Luke ,some cup cakes for Simeon and one cake each for Barbatos and Diavolo along with cupcakes .
They had already cleared a space in the fridge for the dream feather chocolate cookies all three dozen and now they needed to clear a space for the 4 cakes and about 2 dozen cupcakes .
They looked at each other and sighed .
" well at least now that we're incharge of cooking we can decide how to empty the fridge,it'll be up to who evers incharge next week to fill it back" Maura said ,the responsibility of next week would be heavy on the poor soul who was next.
They separated what could be moved else where from what wouldn't be missed .
" Yeah let's just clear out the fridge that's nothing hard for me to do " Beel said his tone tainted with the eagerness to eat .
Oh yeah , he could he is the sin of gluttony. She brief thought.
So together they managed to pull out most of the food and separated it into two piles one for cooking and another for eating ,specifically for Beel to eat every time he opened the fridge to give space.
When the cakes were finally done they would be frosted on Sunday but lunch and dinner needed to made .
------------------------------------------------
Maura put the last of the cakes into the fridge
Then decided to make a soup for lunch and rice and peas with red goat and devil cabbage for dinner.
All things that don't require constant attention.
"Beel ,-" she said after they had put everything to boil and bubble onto the stove and then her head on the counter hands folded over like a makeshift pillow.
"-Could you keep a look out for he who mustn't be named I just need to rest my eyes for a bit."
Beel looked at the sink , there was still some left over dishes to be washed .
" And for lunch we're about an hour late." He thought he looked at the clock reading 12:40 and back into the fridge he took from his eat pile and cleaned the rest of the dishes .
All the brothers were served by Beel for lunch and then he washed up the dishes once more while Maura slept on the counter.
She slept through Lucifer's check and dinner's being served and then sprang up to sound of munching in the darkness.
"The meat! It's gonna ...burn?
She looked about waiting for her eyes to adjust to the darkness.
Munch munch munch
She looked towards the sound and saw the flicker of reflex
The reflective eyes of a living thing in the darkness watched her.
Her heart jumped to her throat as she tried to reasoned her way out it .
She was more than likely in the kitchen , and this was probably one of the brothers
Munch,munch
Ah,it's probably Beel.
"You're awake ! "He said and guided to her room despite her protests
"I think you humans can get sick if you don't sleep on a soft warm surface"
She said and then left her.
Sleep was reluctant,but the body was more than willing
--------------------------------------------------------------
Beezulbub's promise cookies were topped up and with each task successfully down she gave him one.
"BEEL TASTE TEST!"
She stuck her finger out with cake batter on it and Bell cleaned it with his tongue.
She had been telling him what foods and treats were too sweet or salty so she could have a better measure of when the backed good was good enough.
He fought down the instinct to say Delicious when he remembered how angry she had gotten when that was all he had to say.
He swallowed the instinct and said" I think it needs more cinnamon, you said you wanted the cream cheese to be warm right?
She narrowed her eyes and sniffed at the bowl, it seems like it could use more warmth . She'd also add some nutmeg to be safe.
" Good job!"
With that and few interruptions from Mammon wondering what these two were cozying up doing and at one point having to hide in the cabinet when an suspicious Asmodeus came for an impromptu shopping spree with Maura.
All the goods were done and finally the last part .
Her favourite .
The packing could be done tomorrow.
Finally it was February the 14 !
Maura woke extra early and put her hair into buns on either side of her head fixing her braids so with hair pins so that the hair held their heart shape and put some translucent pink heart beads on the ends of the braids she left free Infront of the face .
She wore her uniform and got out of her room the first person she was going to she knew was awake. She went to the kitchen and and took out the Demonus and coffee cupcakes along with some dream feather chocolate cookies.
She wrapped up in a cute little bag ,she put a big red bow on the wine bottle she tiptoed to put it Infront of Lucifer's door .
She knocked the door in the most loudly obnoxious way until she was sure she heard him fuming and rushing to the door then she stood at the end of the hallway just peeking around just in time to see him looking down at the goods she pulled herself from the wall out sight when he was about to start looking around.
She opened her phone to text him
Surprise!
Happy valentine's
Human style!(So it's not poisonous)
She scampered off and spent the rest of the time getting every thing into all the little cardboard packages she had bought for this occasion.
The result looked so beautiful, towers of cupcakes ,bags of cookies and little cards for each person all wrapped in bows and candy striped paper.
Except for Beels she had hidden his in her room so he couldn't accidentally eat it or worse find it .
She was just stuffing her bag with the valentines gifts when Beel walked in.
It is time for his morning run . She briefly remembered.
She handed a bag of cupcake box and and bag of cookies ,
"For your troubles !" She said sing song giggling mischievously as she did and left her bag by the door and took up the box of ones for the other brothers.
She left some just outside their door or texted them to check place they frequented and then rushed off to school
That's where the last bits of her delivery were.
She hummed happily through out the entire day.
Asmo had been the first to gush about his gift ,although he had also received some other normal gifts for valentine's which was strange for the demons but .
Satan had told her to come meet with him later for a cafe to got to.
Leviathan hadn't responded but she knew he had gotten it.
Mammon was acting all high and mighty until he found out his brothers also got one aswell.
She personally went to Diavolo to deliver his and Barbatos they seemed confused but when they understood the intention and human thing behind it they seemed more than touched.
The members of purgatory hall were over joyed as well
Luke even promised to give her the biggest cake ever as a return for white day.
Beel was the only left out. He didn't realise it at first until he checked the group chat through out the day seeing all of his brothers comparing and fighting over hep had the better platter.
He had helped make all of it , but it still felt like he was excluded even with their secret oath cookies.
He didn't know what to think when he saw the message , he was already half way in bed when his phone vibrated .
Beel ,could you come to my room after you're done with homework?
Okay.
He came around 10 pm
Snacking as always.
"Yeah what do you want Maura -"she pulled him in by the elbow and shushed him urgently .
She presented him with a full Devil's chocolate cake ,with dream feather chocolate chip cookies and Demons secret cinnarollls , demon killer cupcakes and campfire dragon smore cookies
"Here! For you!-"
"Happy valentine's Beelzebub!"
Beels face slacked but his shock turned to joy rather quickly .
Maura still had her hands open presenting all the goodies she had laid out on her table for him so he took the chance to pick up Maura in a big hug .
"THANK YOU MAURA! I THOUGHT THE PROMISE COOKIES WERE THE VALENTINES!"
She chuckled feeling a bit flustered at the sudden contact she she looked down at him as he still had her up and smiled wider.he moved her down to sit in his folded arms now. She looked at his beaming face.
She pinched his checks and smiled aswell
"Yes it's all for you -Happy valentine's Beel !"
She took a cookie and poked his lips with it but as he was about to eat it she promptly ate it
"Except this one it's mine !"
She laughed till she choked on the crumbs and urged Bel to put her down while she suddenly started choking on the larger bit of embarrassment of that moment.
She pushed Beel to eat until she recovers which he did hesitantly until she recovered and sat beside him.
I won't tell today,but eventually he'll know that I like him.
Right now he was smiling and he was eating right beside her.
Today was a good day.
Today was a really good day.
Okay that's all ,if it's edited it's prob for grammar or clarity or I figured out how to bold and italicize text so I'll probably do that soon.
Edit:Nevermind figured how to do it,yippee!
