Lazy human
summary: what happens when a demon accidentally manages to mess up her paperwork,get summoned by her human, and ends up falling for the said human?
or
you manage to summon a pretty demon through a doodle during chemistry lecture but she's too noisy and all you want to do is sleep.
warnings: mention of killing, Irene being a brat with a capital B, the human sleeps a lot. not proofread.
Irene was not the best cook, nor was she the best writer but one thing she prided herself on was her patience.
it was one of the only benefits she reaped from the long hours filled with boring paperwork and assigning work to the new residents of hell.
the female demon had the patience of a saint , or so she thought. the huge and thick castle of self control and patience Irene had trapped herself in, came crashing the moment a mere human entered her life.
or more like the mere human forced Irene to enter her life because the human is too dumb to know the difference between a doodle and an ancient symbol used to call upon creatures from hell.
Irene hated everything about the situation caused by the human. from the amount of extra hours to fix this loophole to the interrogation she would have to face on her return to hell, Irene hated it all.
but what she hated even more was the dumb human's nonchalance. the female human had the nerve to 1). accidentally summon Irene 2). NOT PAY ATTENTION TO HER AND 3). SLEEP FOR 6 HOURS STRAIGHT AND CALL IT A NAP!
the demon was beyond angry. she was fuming. ready to burst with anger and she would gladly take it all out on the human.
another strange emotion that made the demon even more frustrated was worry. she knew it was stupid but she couldn't help but worry about the stupid human. her stupid human.
her internal struggle was visible as she paced around, waiting for the human to wake up. dark and ugly fear was clouding her head and leeching to her body as she thought of each and every possible scenario that had made her human sleep for so long.
as the demon kept pacing while cursing the human out, she failed to notice the object of her fear, worry, annoyance and the reason she was stuck on this awful planet, finally enter the living room.
it took the human to clear her throat rather dramatically for the demon to finally stop her musing and notice her.
Irene was quick to send the most terrifying glare (which was quite adorable honestly) the human's way as she scanned her head to toe to ease her worry.
her eyes softened as they landed on the eyebags and dark circles the human was sporting. it was visible to the demon that the dumb human couldn't even do something as simple as following a sleep schedule properly.
"You stayed?" a scoff left the demon's lips as the glare returned to her face.
"it's not like I could just swirl my pretty magical wand and leave after being accidentally summoned from the deepest pit of hell and because someone felt artsy!"
Irene's heavy breathing was all that could be heard as the human stared at the demon in complete astonishment, still too sleepy to actually understand what just happened.
"for someone so short, you talk a lot. maybe i should just call you the 'talkative demon' "
y/n wasn't sure what possessed her to utter those words but she regretted them right as they left her mouth.
the demon just stood there silently, looking as if she had been stabbed in the heart. the demon glanced at the human, eyes filled with betrayal and heart filled with sorrow.
"I thought I was 'pretty demon'"
y/n had expected the demon to throw a tantrum, scream at her, curse her or even threaten her but when she saw the downcast eyes and the lips curled into a sad pout, she could feel her heart squeezing inside her chest. as if punishing her for making the demon sad.
she was quick to jump into action, walking up to demon and holding her by the shoulders as she moved a finger under the demon's chin to meet her eyes.
the look of betrayal in the eyes of the short demon who had just been cursing the human's entire bloodline less that an hour ago made the human want to punch herself in the face.
"hey...I didn't mean it like that. I mean I kinda did but...forget it. what I mean is, you talk a lot. like a loottt! but I'm not complaining. you wanna know why? because you may be a talkative demon but you're my talkative demon. my pretty and short and talkative and angry demon."
Irene was sure that the human was some sort of sorceress because how else did she manage to manipulate Irene's emotions so quickly with just a few words.
the redness on her cheeks and the sweat building up on her forehead as a result of the human's words were more than enough to prove that the human had done something to Irene.
"You think you're smart, huh? you really thought your secret will go unnoticed by me, didn't you? I know who you are!"
the human blinked slowly, trying to keep up with the demon's rants. the sight of the demon throwing the hands around wildly while throwing accusations was more amusing than scary for the human.
she couldn't help but let out a smile at the demon's constant mood swings. the lone smile turned to a chuckle which soon turned into a giggle which made the demon stop her rant and stare at her.
clouds of smoke could be seen coming out of the demon's ears as her icy glare settled onto to human who was still laughing at the demon.
had it been someone else, Irene would've killed them with her bare hands for laughing at her but since she couldn't really bring herself to harm her human, she just settled for stomping her foot before walking away and locking herself in the room which had been previously occupied by the human.
the human cracked another smile at her demon's frustration before she lazily got up from the floor she had occupied during the demon's outburst. she looked around fir a while before looking fir something to help lure the demon out of her room.
"aish, she's such a brat." the human mused while trying to coax the angry demon out.
"guess I'll just have to call some other demon from hell since my pretty demon refuses to talk to me" the human knew what she did was nothing short of evil but atleast it got the demon to talk.
"would you really do it?" the pout in her voice was evident even from the other side of the door. it almost made the human feel a bit guilty.
"mhmm, what other choice do I have?" the human who was previously leaning against the closed door fell forward and into the demon's arms as the door suddenly opened.
"I don't hate you, really! I was just...angry. you weren't even paying attention to me and then you seemed so shocked that I stayed it's like you wanted me to leave. it made me sad..."
the human could feel her heart melt and break and squeeze all at the same time as the demon looked up to her with glassy eyes and an adorable pout.
the human broke out of her trance once the demon's gaze left hers to stare at the floor instead.
she moved a finger under the demon's chin and gently raised her face up tell they were looking into each other's eyes again.
the finger was replaced by her whole hand as she cupped her face and gave it a gentle squeeze. her arms moved down to the demon's neck before she let them fall and simply stared at the demon instead.
"You thought I wanted you to leave? well guess what princess? you were wrong. I want nothing more than to wrap my arms around you and hold you close. to hold on to you and to beg you to stay forever. to call you my pretty demon and hide you from the whole world. I want a lot of things love, but you leaving me isn't one of them."
the demon stood there stiff before walking towards the bed. she sat down and made herself comfortable before looking up to the human once again.
"You look tired. you eyes seem a bit dull too. you should sleep more. maybe if you got proper sleep you won't be so lazy and stupid. I read somewhere that cuddling with someone who likes you can induce better sleep. it's not like I care or anything but I'd rather have this conversation when you aren't looking half dead. so...you can...you know...join me on the bed? it's not like I like you anything though. you're just my lazy human that's why I am asking. don't fool yourself into thinking I'm in love with you or anything"
the demon kept rambling as the human just stared at her. gazing at her with the eyes of a lover. she let the demon go on and on before making her way toward the bed and taking a seat beside her.
"lazy human, huh? pretty demon and lazy human. seems like a couple to me. bit I could be wrong since you don't love me"
Irene hated getting teased but maybe, just maybe, she'd let her human tease her all the time if that meant she'd get to see her smile.
