34 Oh, Jeez!

Devin and Angeal magically arrived in a room that was spacious and dark. It was actually Devin's room and it is Angeal's first time being alone with a guy inside his room. It is also her first time being in a guy's room.

But what scared her the most... was the thought of being alone with their beastly master... inside his dark room!

The both of them plopped down on the soft king sized bed, surprising the girl. The room was so quiet, making Angeal fear that the Soul Eater might hear her heartbeat.

Knowing that their master was awake after being out of control just a few moments ago, Angeal felt panic, making her blood rush. She was about to leave the bed when suddenly, Devin grabbed her by the wrist, making her lie on the bed.

'!!!'

Angeal was struggling in his hold but she was halted when she heard him speak.

"Don't go," he ordered, as he pulled Angeal gently further in his arms, alarming her.

The sweet human girl was now trapped in his embrace.

The girl's body stiffened. She moved a little, struggling to move away like a bunny being hugged by a child. But the more she did, the more Devin tightened his embrace.

"Mmm... keep still," he complained and Angeal's eyebrows connected, feeling slightly annoyed.

'I can't understand this man!'

Angeal kept still, thinking of ways to escape from this master beast of theirs.

How will she leave? Push him away? The heck with it, just run away and never mind him getting angry at her for disobeying his orders?

As Angeal was thinking of ways to leave, she suddenly felt his calm, steady breaths over her head. She looked up and saw that their master had fallen asleep, as if nothing grave had happened a while ago.

As if he was not trying to harm her a while ago!

Angeal squinted her eyes as she watched their master peacefully sleeping. She was scared for her own life a while ago, fearing that she might get killed and yet he dares embrace her like nothing really happened!?

'Audacity,' Angeal thought as she slowly lifted her hand then she poked Devin's cheek, making their master's brows meet.

As she looked at their master, Angeal was pulled in her own thoughts.

She recalled the time of what had transpired a while ago. Everything happened so fast right in front of her very eyes.

After coming home from shopping with Arvid, Devin came and asked for an apology from her, after avoiding him because of the sudden kiss that happened between them.

'Ah! That stupid accidental kiss!'

The moment she remembered the kiss, she felt her blood rush, and she felt her face heat up. She knew now that she was blushing but she was thankful that the guy in front of her was fast asleep and that the room was completely dark.

Angeal's eyes still hadn't left the beast in front of her. She was looking at his eyes that is probably now in REM—Rapid Eye Movement; the dream stage of sleep.

She recalled how their master's eyes looked so sad. Staring into his eyes made her feel different. She felt immerse pity towards him, as if he was really the embodiment of all the depressing things in the world.

Looking into his eyes, she couldn't help but feel sad for him. Angeal didn't know why... she knew she could escape from him a while ago. When the moment came for her to easily escape, she just couldn't.

She couldn't leave him alone.

'Why do you look so sad,' Angeal thought to herself as she slightly brushed off his hair that covered his eyes.

The girl couldn't really understand him. He was mean to her and was ready to attack anyone just to capture her. Then out of the blue his actions changed when he magically disappeared with her and even asked her not to leave!

But what she did piqued her curiosity. She appeared to tame the beast... the moment she touched him.

"Devin? Angeal?"

Angeal's heart almost jumped from her chest when she heard Ivar knocking on the door and calling their name. At the same time she felt relief because it meant that his personal servant's appearance would lead to her leaving the room.

'Yes, finally!'

She was about to leave the bed to open the door but the moment Devin felt her moving away, his embrace tightened again, not letting her go.

'Oh, jeez!'

Angeal's eyes showed annoyance as she looked at the sleeping beast. Her cheeks puffed in frustration, making her want to pull away the hairs of their master.

'Can I make you bald!?'

"Never mind. I'm going in," Ivar said, making Angeal seat up abruptly, feeling embarrassed.

'I don't want him to see me in this situation!'

Devin on the other hand, just tightened his arms around her waist, as his head rested on her lap, still feeling sleepy. With those movements of his a while ago pulling her close to him, how could he sleep this easily?

Angeal glared at him, wanting to smack the hell out of their master for doing such things.

'I am losing patience, you stupid beast!'

The moment Ivar entered, the light from outside the room shone on them, making them visible inside the dark room.

Ivar's eyes widened in surprise to have seen them in such a position but to Angeal, she was starting to feel annoyed to death that if looks could kill, she would've killed Ivar already, as her eyes begged for him to move their master away from her.

'Help me, you personal servant!'

As this went on, Angeal felt frustrated for not having a voice to express her exasperation.

Ivar coughed as he closed the door. With a snap of his fingers, a candle in the middle of the room was lit, giving them light.

Angeal pouted as she pointed at Devin sleeping on her lap, his arms wrapped around her waist. He looked like a child holding on to his mother!

"I'm sorry, Angeal," Ivar whispered, enough for the human girl to hear. "But this has rarely happened. I want to assess him while he's like this around you," he added and Angeal heaved an exasperated sigh, rolling her eyes at him at the same time.

'You got to be kidding me!'

For the first time in such a long time, Angeal wished that she really had a voice for her to lash her frustrations out.
