The future king of Devildom basking in the light of a full moon as he bathes himself.
The stillness of it all, the window opened to let in the chilly Devildom air, the water still, the moon and stars shining along with the lights of Devildom, and Diavolo himself reclined back in the tub looking over all the lights.
The light of the moon reflecting gently against his wet body, illuminating him and the room in soft light. The tiles washed with white light, the curtains shifting slightly along with the breeze and the moon’s light on the water.
Times like these he thinks of nothing, the few moments he has to himself are his as he takes in a deep breath and slowly releases it as he slides in lower into the water.
Or that’s what he’d like to think, he has many worries over his denizens, the relationship of the three worlds, his rule to power, and every other thing a person of his stature is responsible for.
Though that’s not what he’s thinking about either. Instead it’s MC, his mind plagued by thoughts about them.
He’s been too busy as of late to talk, even while seeing glimpses of them at RAD, he can only spare a wave and smile from across the hall or while walking by.
Perhaps he should call, disguise it as a routine check for the transfer students just to see how they’re doing. Though it’s already late enough, they’ve probably already gone to bed.
Diavolo slides his thumb against the rim of the bath, sighing softly wishing he wasn’t so bombarded with work to at least text MC.
Though he would’ve gotten scolded if Barbatos were to see.
Diavolo runs a hand through his wet hair, his fingers already pruned from how long he’s been in the water but not ready to get out yet and see the day end and the next begin.
However a knock at the door disturbs his thought.
“M’lord, I do not mean to disturb you but you have a call. It’s from MC, I’ve told them to hold while I tell you. Shall I tell them to call back some other time or are you finishing up?” Barbatos spoke through the door.
“Ah! Tell them I’ll be there just a moment!” Diavolo says quick to get out almost having to catch himself from slipping.
For the rest of the night, Diavolo chats with MC. He kind of wished to be selfish and keep them awake all night long until he had to go to RAD, though he knew better and let them go to sleep.
His last thoughts before drifting off to sleep was his beloved MC tell him to have sweet dreams.
