𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 alone the duo she was supposed to be babysitting was a very stupid decision from (y/n)'s part, but it's not like she had a choice. she surprisingly had her hands tied, since there are times that even a god cannot interfere with what is destined to happen.
(y/n) went up the building's stairs calmly, thinking about the excuse that she was not only going to give to power and denji after disappearing out of nowhere, but also the one she was going to tell makima.
telling them that she went to visit an old friend, who by the way is a devil, was not one of the options and less was the reason for her visit.
"(y/n)! tell her to take off my handcuffs!"
power, with her eyes shining with relief, screamed at the sight of the woman who was walking down the hall towards her.
"ah (y/n), long time no see." himeno smiled getting up from her squatting position to hug her.
(y/n) put her hands around her waist, hugging her back, "hi, old woman." she told her silently before pulling away from her and looking at power.
the devil patted power's head, "sorry for leaving you." she said softly, "himeno, do you have the key?" (y/n) asked turning to see her.
himeno shook her head, "aki has it, and he's with the blond." she said pointing towards the room where the two boys were.
(y/n) nodded, "i'll go get it to remove the handcuffs." she smiled at power before turning around and going into the room.
the woman opened the door and entered closing it carefully, "hello." she said carefully making aki and denji turn to look at her simultaneously.
"i'm not interrupting anything, am i? because i need you to uncuff power." (y/n) continued saying with a slight smile.
"no, i was already leaving." aki said walking towards the door but not before stopping next to (y/n) grabbing her by her forearm, "we need to talk after this." he whispered in her ear just to release her and walk out of the room.
(y/n) rolled her eyes and went towards the small chair "sorry for leaving you with power, i never imagined she was going to do that." (y/n) said sitting on the chair.
denji grabbed another piece of apple and shoved it into his mouth, "don't worry, it wasn't your fault. is not like you could know what was going to happen." he said swallowing the bite of it.
(y/n) put her hand on top of denji's, stroking it with her thumb, "it was my fault... i was supposed to take care of you, and now look at you, prostrated in a bed."
denji was silent, not knowing what to say or do to reassure the woman. he opened his mouth as if he were going to say something only to close it again.
(y/n), noticing that, patted him on the head with her other hand, "you don't need to say anything, i'm glad you're alive and i'm proud of you." she told him softly.
denji looked weirdly at woman munching another piece of apple, "proud?"
the devil hummed, "yup! they told me you saved power by killing the bat devil. that was very noble of you denji... i'm proud of you." she told him standing up.
"you should rest now, honey." she finished going to the door.
the woman left the room and was greeted by a lonely corridor with the exception of aki standing there with a disgusted expression. now, looking him carefully, brought a pang of pain in (y/n)'s chest.
"why was denji alone with power?"
aki asked her just for the devil to put her arms around his neck, "because i went... i went to buy something for you?" (y/n) said against aki's neck, though it sounded more like a question than a statement.
aki took a deep breath and put his arms around the girl's waist, "oh really?" aki asked with a disinterested tone fallowing the game of the devil.
the hunter was used to it by now and aware of the particular ways (y/n) had to dodge her problems or responsibilities.
(y/n) nodded, "yes, but i can only show you at home." she told him biting softly his neck.
aki pushed her a little giving some space between them, and while his face was blushed, his brows were furrowed, "(y/n) you know that those things no longer work with me. now tell me, where the fuck were you because all of this wouldn't have happened if you had made your job."
the girl bite her inner cheek removing her arms from him, "we both know that's a lie... and i can't tell you. i'm sorry aki." she said looking down at the floor.
────────
(y/n) didn't know how she ended up taking care of power after work hours, but now here she was with her and meowy in a market before taking her to her new home with aki and denji.
the devilman, with careful of not hurting meowy who was lying down, dropped a variety of junk food into the shopping cart, from chips to sweet bread.
"i'm not buying all that." (y/n), who was turning her back to the cart while she was reading the ingredients of a shampoo, said without taking her eyes off the label.
"eh! why?!"
"because i'm paying for it, and i don't have that much money on me." (y/n) said turning around and showing power the shampoo, "look! it's strawberry scented, and if it gets in your eyes it won't hurt."
"i don't want that! use your money for buying me food instead of that shit!" power screamed pointing dramatically at the shampoo.
"i'm doing you a favor by buying you that! you smell horrible!" (y/n) raised her voice mirroring power by pointing her finger at her.
"i'm a devilman! i don't need to smell good just because you humans are weak to powerful smells!" power said grabbing the shampoo bottle from (y/n)'s hands and letting it drop to the floor.
(y/n) glared at her putting her hands on her hips, "lift the shampoo, now." she said with a warning tone.
power pouted crossing her arms on her chest and looking to the right, avoiding completely eye contact with (y/n), "do it yourself."
"i'm going to count until three...and i want that shampoo bottle inside the cart." (y/n) said looking at power.
"one-" (y/n) raised her index leaving it up, "two-", she raised her middle finger, "three...for god sake, power!" (y/n) exclaimed once power went running taking the cart with her and leaving the shampoo bottle on the floor.
