DOORS OF LUST.

Brows remained furrowed for a few extra moments, before he just sort of.. tried to let go of all the tension with a sigh. There was a disconnect with how each of them were coming across to each other - or so he assumed - and it would be worth the mangled effort to seem okay.

Maybe she’d stop complimenting him, finally. At the very least, he could relax now that the teasing had toned down.

“I, ah.. should get back to work- unless you needed help with something?”

        Looks like the planned worked! He calmed down and didn’t look so spazzy anymore. Although it WAS pretty fun to see him get so flustered. Maggie had a real GIFT when it came to flirting, didn’t she? But she was modest enough to know when to stop.

      ❝ Terrible company, really. ❞     It seemed that his sarcasm grew in tandem with his boredom.      Of course, he wasn’t truly serious. Terrible company was better than no company     when one was that terribly BORED.

        Maggie wouldn’t necessarily use the word terrible to describe her company. Wasn’t just being in the same room as a pretty girl good enough? Well, she HAD been pretty rude to this Zeon guy.

   ❝ Yeah, I bet it IS a pleasure. So Zeon, how old are.... ❞

“A fight? Oh no that would imply that I have a thought that I could lose. No, no, this is going to go quite differently pal, quite differently indeed.” A sinister cackle escaped the demon’s lips as he stared down the youth before him. “No, what’s going to happen is that you’re going to apologize. Yes, you’re going to apologize to me for what you’re done… and beg for my forgiveness. Yes, that’s how it always go, right? In the moment of realization, the foolish mortal comes to their senses and begs forgiveness from the almighty being.”

         So it WAS going to be a fight. Seriously, how much more IRRITATING could this guy even get?! And why was he assuming he’d WIN?! If he keeps talking shit and giggling at her, Maggie won’t go easy on him if he actually attacks.

       ❝ What I’VE done? You mean hurting your FEELINGS? You’re seriously thinking of fighting me over that? I don’t even know where to begin with you. Look. I’m not gonna play into your little mortal and god fantasy or whatever messed up shit this is, but if saying the word sorry is gonna get you to leave me alone, like I’ve ALREADY BEEN ASKING YOU TO DO, then fine, I’m sorry. Forgive me. You happy now? I apologized. We’re done here. ❞

“Oh… Oh shit, I’m so sorry.”

“I did NOT mean to fall on you.”

“Picked the wrong day to get stuck in here, huh?”

“It’s great to finally meet you.”

“Oh, sorry, didn’t notice you there.”

“Hey I- Oh, wrong person.”

“H-Hi…”

“Woah, your eyes are really beautiful.”

“Can you help me reach something?”

“Well… This is an odd way to meet new people.”

“MARCO!”

“Do you have a -object- I could borrow?”

“I hate to be a bother, but —-”

“You seemed to have dropped this.”

“I think I’ve heard of you.”

“Mind if I buy you a drink?”

“Do you mind helping me for like two seconds?”

“Oh, that’s extremely kind of you.”

“Did that hit you?!”

“Aye, leave ‘em alone.”

“Screw off.”

“Hello?”

“I think you know —, I’m —.”

“That’s pretty neat.”
