You came home today to find that Urushihara was gone. He was gone when you came home everyday for the past week. You didn't ask about it because it seemed unimportant. He was his own man who could go out when he wanted...but at the same time he was Urushihara. He is lazy, technology addicted, and anti-social. It was strange and quite lonely not coming home to his glow at the laptop. You began getting dinner ready. You knew that Urushihara would come home in the next thirty minutes, if he continued his schedule that he was on.
Maybe I should ask Maou about it... Maybe this has happened before. But wouldn't Maou have told me about it? You were deep in thought until you began to smell food burning. You were making bacon to go on the hamburgers you had made. You quickly tried removing it from the stove but your hand had slipped and you ended up burning part of your hand. You winced in pain and held your hand under water.
"Great... I burned the food, now what will we eat?" You sighed in despair still letting the cool water run over your hand. Suddenly you heard the door open and Urushihara slipped into the house without saying a word.
"Hello to you too..." You mutter to yourself. Urushihara heard you and gave you a strange look.
"You okay?" He got up and saw the redness and peeling skin on your hand. "What happened?"
"My hand slipped and I burned it a little bit, I'm alright." You reassured him as you held you hand away.
"That's a grease burn ______, those are dangerous..." He walked away from you, you saw annoyance in his face. He came back with gauze and wrapped your hand carefully.
"So, I take it from the smell that dinner got burned?" He looked at the burnt bacon on the counter.
"Just that, I made the burgers earlier, those are done." You pulled the burgers out of the microwave and prepared them. You set the plates in front of yourself and Urushihara. He thanked you and the two of you began to eat. You noticed how tired he's been looking lately. He had huge dark circles under his eyes and he looked slightly pale. He talked even less than he used to.
"Are you okay...?" You asked after a little bit of silence.
"What? You're the one who got hurt. Of course I'm okay. Why?"
"You have been looking exhausted lately... I was getting worried. Plus you're always going out, it's not like you." He looked a you strangely and shrugged.
"I'm fine." He didn't answer the part about going out all the time. He's being too suspicious to just let it slide.
If he's not going to tell me the truth then I'll just have to go ask Maou and Ashiya about it...
"I have to go see Emi now." You made up the lie so he wouldn't come with you. You knew not to ask Emi for advice first, she tended to be a little scary when Urushihara was acting up. You wanted to know what he was doing, not get him killed.
"Really? This late at night?" He gave you a confused look and furrowed his brow.
"Uh... yeah, it's really important. Plus it's only nine right now. I should be fine." You quickly put on your shoes and a light coat and began to leave. "Put any food you don't eat in the fridge! I'll be back soon!" You called and left the house.
You immediately broke into a sprint toward Maou's house. Then you remembered the tracker that Urushihara had put in your shoe. You quickly took the shoe back off and searched for it. Sewed into the inside was a thin tracker, you dug it out with your nails and threw it into the bushes then began your run to Maou's again.
You arrived at his door out of breath, you were barely able to knock on it. Maou soon opened the door looking a bit frightened.
"Oh _____, it's just you. I was afraid it was going to be Emi." He laughed nervously and opened the door. You were still out of breath so you just gave Ashiya a little wave. When you were finally able to breathe correctly you began to tell the about your issues with Urushihara.

"That is strange that he's been out so often..." Maou looked to Ashiya. "You don't think he could be gathering power?"
"It could be very true my lord. Although there haven't been any recent tragedies so we know he hasn't done anything big yet."
"But we can't just sit here and wait for him to make his move."
"What do you suggest we do Sire?"
"I don't have work tomorrow, I was planning on going in for over time but I suppose we can deal with this instead. We'll tail him around tomorrow." He looked to you. "Sounds good ______?"
You nodded, relieved they were just going to follow him around rather than going straight to violence.
"Do you really think he'd doing something bad?" Ashiya and Maou looked to each other and back to you with a grim look.
"He's Lucifer _____, you can't be too careful." You nodded solemnly. Maou patted your back reassuringly.
"Come back here tomorrow after work," Maou smiled at you gratefully. "Thank you for telling us, we'll stop whatever Urushihara is planning." You walked home reassured by Maou's words. You walked into your apartment completely drained of energy to find Urushihara putting his shoes on.
"Where are you going?" you felt slightly angry at him now.
"What? Oh... I was going to go find you. I noticed your tracker was sitting in one place for the last thirty minutes. I was getting worried." He looked at you confused. "Why'd you take it out."
"I didn't feel like being watched at all times anymore." You huffed and began to walk to your room. "Besides, you're not my parent or anything. You don't need to know where I'm at 24/7." You heard him mutter something as you closed your door but didn't bother to find out what. You flung yourself onto your bed and went to sleep.
The next day you made a small breakfast and said goodbye as usual before you went to work. You worked the whole day being nervous for what Maou and Ashiya would find out about Urushihara. When work let out you didn't even wait for Emi before you rushed over to Maou's house.
"Did you find out anything!" You rushed into his house without even saying hello. You say Ashiya jump slightly when you screamed but he went on with his business.
"What?" Maou asked, you looked at him expectantly.
"You followed him around today right?" You asked getting worried.
"Oh...yes. Um... we didn't find anything weird. He just walked around." He seemed nervous answering. You knew that he was keeping something from you.
"Really...that's it?"
"Y-yeah...I have work tomorrow so I need to go to bed now!" Maou grabbed a blanket and got himself ready for bed. You got embarrassed that he had blown you off and lied to you so easily.
"F-fine..." You felt tears come to your eyes, as you thought of what it could mean.
It's not evil Lucifer stuff otherwise they would've told me. Urushihara is up to something that even they can't tell...They probably found him with a girl... they just don't want to hurt my feelings. You wiped at your eyes before you awkwardly waved goodbye. You heard Maou call your name before you left but ignored him. You walked home slowly thinking about Urushihara. When you finally made it home you went to your room.
"What's wrong ____?" Urushihara was at your doorway, he looked worried.
YOU KNOW WHAT'S WRONG! STUPID STUPID URUSHIHARA! You cried in your head but on the outside your expression never changed.
"Nothing, I'm just tired. Just heat up the leftovers from last night." You shoved your face into your pillow and waved at him as a goodnight. You heard him almost start another sentence before he sighed and left the room. You cried to yourself silently.
I knew I would never have a chance with him. He thinks of me as a caregiver... nothing more. It was stupid of me to think that he might actually like me... You thought about that snowy night at Maou's or the movie night, or the way your heart jumped every time you were around him. Stupid stupid. You cried yourself to sleep that night.
In the morning you found that your eyes were still puffy and red from crying. You saw that you still had tear streaked down your face and you tried to wash them away with water. You hadn't closed the door and Urushihara was now watching you. He stood up and stared at you, he didn't know what to say so he stood there awkwardly with his hands slightly outstretched. You looked away from him and closed the door. You took a shower and dressed but stayed in your room until around noon.
"____? It's lunch time..." Urushihara was outside your door but he hadn't come in yet. You sighed and went out to make him some lunch muttering to yourself about how lazy he was. While you set his ramen down on the table he grabbed something red and square.
"Here..." He stuck it out to you when you didn't take it he pushed it into your hands. "It's your birthday right?"
"How did you know it was my birthday?" You barely remembered it was your birthday with all the drama going on in your head and you'd never mentioned it to him.
"When I first came to live with you I looked you up... I wanted to make sure you weren't a psycho." He awkwardly rubbed his head. You opened the box and found a small necklace, with angel wings that hung from it. They were black like the ones that sprouted from his back the first time you guys met. It was so beautiful and detailed you almost felt like crying.
"Urushihara...how did you even get this?" You looked up at him in wonder.
"I've been going out and working a little, doing odd jobs around town." He gave you a sheepish smile.
He hasn't found a girlfriend. He was working to get me a present... I'm so dumb!
"I-I'm so sorry..." He cocked his head to the side.
"Usually people say than you for presents."
"I jumped to conclusions... I'm sorry." Tears sprung to your eyes now.You suddenly grabbed Urushihara into a hug, it surprised him and he awkwardly put his arms around you to return it.
"Hey don't cry... It's okay."
"Thank you so much Urushihara. It's beautiful." You sniffled and wiped away any stray tears as you pulled back. "Put it on for me?" You asked turning around and moving your hair from your neck. He took the necklace from your hands and strung it around your neck and clipped it on. You turned back around and smiled up at him. He was so close smiling back down at you.
This is your chance! Just lean in a little! Do it do it! You urged yourself on. You slowly let yourself come closer to him and tilted your head. Come on do it! Do it!
"Knock it off you two, it's embarrassing." Emi said from the doorway. You didn't even hear her open it but there she was along with the rest of the group. You squeaked in surprise as you jumped away from Urushihara. Your face felt like it was going to burst into flames.
"W-what are y-you doing here!" You cried at them.
"It's your birthday remember. We're going to spend the day with you." Chiho gave you a hug as she came in. You felt over-joyed as you watched all your friends pile into your apartment.
"We all pitched in to buy you a cake too." Maou pulled the pastry from behind his back and set it at the table. Everyone piled around you and the cake and sang to you. They were tone deaf and loud but it sounded wondrous to you. You blew out the candles and made a wish.
I wish we can all be together for a long time. You closed your eyes and blew out the candles as you heard everyone begin clapping and cheering.
