Work Text:
Beelzebub opened the door with relief. He had a full day. Two exams, an oral project, a heavy rain that started when he left college and in the day whe forgoting his umbrella. On the bright side, the week of exams is over, did a great job on the presentation and barely got wet in the rain when getting on and off the bus. Still got wet, but not to the point of catching a cold. Now he wanted to take a shower and rest.
"How was your day?" his grilfriend, Brunhild asked
"Tiring. And I see it was the same for you.”
Brunhild smiled. She wasn't the same course as the goth, but there was a week of equally difficult exams and four point assignments.
"Yes, but it's over."
The two laughed without strength because they were so tired.
“I made some snacks. Do you want to eat now?”
“I prefer to shower first.”
"Okay then. The coffee isn't even ready yet.”
The goth relaxed as the hot water eased the tension out of his muscles. That was one of life's few blessings. He wanted to enjoy the sensation a little longer, but Brunhild was waiting for him and if he took any longer she would eat all food.
"I took too long?"
"No, if you had there wouldn't have anything for you." The brunette wasn't kidding. She wasn't the type to have a lot of patience when food was involved.
The two ate slowly and calmly. They didn't exchange a word. They had no subjects to share, nor did they feel the need to talk.
“Uahhh.” The brunette yawned "I'm going to take a nap."
“Would you mind if I joined?”
"Of course you can."
The two had their own beds and yet they shared only one. Although tired, the two kept their minds alert. The rain eased, however it had no forecast to end.
Beelzebub gently hugged his girlfriend wanting her warmth as the temperature dropped in the last few days. She snuggled up.
“When are you going to work up the courage to meet my dad?” Brunhild asked.
The man knew that his girlfriend wanted to deepen the relationship. They had discussed the matter before and had come to a disagreement. He already talked to friends about it. Each had their own opinion about it, yet they all warned him the same thing: either he plucked up courage and stood up to her father or remained a coward and became single.
“Have you made up your mind yet?” the brunette didn't turn around. Her voice, though calm, gave the impression that demanded a definitive answer.
It was time for him to make the decision.
“I would like to meet you as soon as possible. I want to know what day and time your father is free so we can make a meeting."
Brunhild said nothing. She turned around and buried her face in her boyfriend's chest. The murmurs of joy said she was satisfied with the answer.
"I have no idea what he has this week, but I will call him later today."
"Do not need to be right now." He stroked the young woman's dark hair "Let's take a nap first and after dinner we'll call him."
Still smiling, Brunhild closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. Feeling characteristic noises from his roommate, Adamas.
“Adamas.” the young man called his friend.
"I am here. What you want?" Adamas went straight to the goth's room to listen to what he had to say and when he realized that the girlfriend's latter was sleeping he muttered.
“Could you turn off the hallway light, please? Brunhild and I are taking a nap and the light is getting in the way.”
"Of course. I'll call you when dinner is ready.” And the redhead flipped the switch.
"Thanks."
"You are welcome." and he was gone.
Beelzebub closed his eyes. Sleep came easily because of the sound of falling rain.
