A Shot of Fate
01
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*flips the “Open” sign*
The smell of ground coffee fills the air.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*adjusts his apron, looking calm but sleepy*
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
*already behind the counter, wiping glasses with his usual energy*
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Morning, sunshine.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
You’re late. again.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
I’m two minutes late
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
The world didn’t end.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Still counts😆
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Go check the pastry case, it looks empty.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*crouching to restock the display with muffins and croissants*
Outside, the street slowly comes alive, office workers, students, and regular customers walking by.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
You think people actually notice what pastries we put out?
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Of course😌
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
You don’t understand how serious some people are about their blueberry muffins.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
People are weird.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
You say that like you’re not one of them😒
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Whatever ┐(￣ー￣)┌
The espresso machine hisses as the first few customers come in.
Hael greets them softly, his tone polite but shy.
Eli moves around easily, chatting with everyone.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
You need to talk louder, you sound like background music.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
That’s fine. I like being background music.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Hael, you’re impossible🥲
The door opens again and a familiar voice calls out
？？？
Look at you two, working hard this early.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*look at the person*
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
*same*
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
You’re here again?
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
Of course😌
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
I need my coffee. and I like seeing my son actually awake.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Morning, Mr. Hearts! your usual?
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
Yeah.
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
And Hael, don’t forget to eat breakfast, coffee isn’t food.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Yes, Dad
Frederic sits near the window, reading the newspaper.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*serves him a cup and quietly smiles to himself*
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Your dad’s really proud of you, huh?
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
He just doesn’t say it out loud much.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
But yeah….he’s the reason I started working here.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
He’s supportive though. that’s rare.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Yeah, he just wants me to live normally.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
No drama, no trouble.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Then we’ll keep it that way( ͡°з ͡°)
They share a small laugh as customers start to line up again.
The café is finally quiet. The lights inside glow warm against the dark street outside.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*wipes the counter slowly*
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
*flipping the chairs upside down*
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
And…done😮💨
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Another day, another pile of coffee grounds.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
You make it sound like we fought a war *chuckle*
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
We kinda did😒
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Remember the guy who asked for “extra caramel” and meant half a bottle?
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*laugh* Yeah
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
That poor cup didn’t deserve that.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
*laughs, tossing his rag into the sink*
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
You sure you don’t want me to walk you home? it’s already dark.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
No need(◍•ᴗ•◍)
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
It’s not that far, besides, dad will worry if you walk me again.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Because he thinks I’m a bad influence? *laugh*
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Because he thinks you’ll talk my ears off.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Fair. I do that.
Café feels cozy even when empty, the smell of coffee still lingering.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*takes off his apron, folds it neatly, and grabs his small bag*
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Lock the door properly, okay?
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Yes, mom. go home, angel boy.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
I told you, stop calling me that🥲
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
I’ll stop when you stop being one.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*shakes his head, smiling*
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*steps outside*
The cool night air brushes his cheeks. The streetlights flicker softly, and the sound of cars fades in the distance.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*walking while humming*
Even though his family’s mansion is big and elegant, Hael never feels like he’s “rich.” He’s the kind who still greets the guards, thanks the driver, and waves at the bakery lady across the street.
Everyone around him loves him, not because he’s wealthy, but because he’s genuinely kind.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
💬 Got home safe>~<
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Good. now sleep before your dad finds you scrolling again 💬
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
💬 I’m not scrolling😇
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Liar 💬
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Goodnight, Hael Hearts 💬
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
💬 Goodnight, Levon💤
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*pockets his phone and opens the front gate*
The garden lights glow faintly, roses lining the path toward the house.
A maid opens the door for him.
maid
Welcome home, young master Hael.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Thank you *smiles*
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Please rest early, okay?
maid
*smiles, touched by his sweetness*
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*enters the living room*
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
*sitting on the couch with a book and a cup of tea*
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
You’re home late, Hael.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Sorry, Dad. We had a lot of customers today, you know🙂↔️
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
*nods*
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
I like seeing you work hard.
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
You’ve always been like your mom…
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
I just want to do things right, Dad.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
I don’t want to depend on money for everything.
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
And that’s what I love most about you, Hael *smiles*
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
You’re spoiled by love, not by wealth.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*sits beside his father, resting his head lightly on his dad’s shoulder*
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
Did Eli walk you home again?
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Nope. I told him not to. He talks too much.
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
*chuckle*
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
He means well. You’re lucky to have a friend like him.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
He takes care of me in his own weird way.
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
Just make sure you take care of yourself too.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
I will, Dad. Promise(ʘᴗʘ✿)
They sit there for a while.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*changes into his pajamas, turns off the lights, and lies in bed*
Before sleeping, he whispers to himself:
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Another simple day….just how I like it(◍•ᴗ•◍)
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*smiles, eyes slowly closing*
Unaware that soon, his peaceful life will never be the same.
02
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*stirs under his blanket, eyes still half closed*
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
*knocking on Hael’s bedroom door*
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
Hael!
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Mmm…five more minutes😪
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*hides under his pillow*
The bedroom door suddenly opens with a creak.
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
Five more minutes? not happening, sleepy angel.
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
You’ll be late again.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Mom….it’s too early😫
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
It’s 7:20, Hael.
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
You were supposed to leave twenty minutes ago.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
ꉂ૮(°□°'˶)ა
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*sits up quickly*
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Oh no! I forgot to set my alarm!
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
*taps his chin with a smirk* hmm, you forgot again.
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
Someone was up late scrolling last night, wasn’t he?
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
No, I was just...
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
*raises a brow* Reading recipes again? or watching cat videos?
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
( •̯́ ^ •̯̀)
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
Adorable. hopeless, but adorable.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*pout* (¬`ε ´¬)
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
*laughs, walking over to fix his son’s messy hair*
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
You’re lucky you’re cute.
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
If your father wakes up first, he’ll give you another “responsibility talk.”
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
I’ll be fast, promise!
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
Good. your breakfast’s waiting.
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
And don’t even think about skipping it, or I’ll personally drag you back from the café.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Yes, mom
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*rushes to the bathroom*
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
*chuckles, shaking his head fondly*
Downstairs, the dining room is calm, elegant but warm.
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
*sits with a newspaper and tea*
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
Good morning, love.
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
I see our son’s finally awake?
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
Barely😑
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
You should thank me for keeping this family alive every morning.
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
*smiling*
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
I thank you every day, you just never hear it.
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
Oh, I hear it. I just pretend I don’t. keeps the spark alive.
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
You’re impossible.
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
*laughs*
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
*leaning to peck his husband on the cheek before setting a plate of pancakes on the table*
Moments later, Hael runs downstairs, adjusting his café uniform and tying his apron neatly.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Good morning!
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
Look who’s finally alive!
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
Good morning, son.
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
Eat first before you go.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
I will, dad, don’t worry(ʘᴗʘ✿)
Hael sits between them, taking small bites of his pancakes.
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
Honestly, who drinks plain black tea every morning?
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
Even Hael’s coffee orders have more personality.
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
Because someone puts half a garden of honey in his cup.
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
It’s called flavor, darling.
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
You should try it sometime.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*trying not to laugh* you two are so dramatic this early.
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
(👁,‿,👁)
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
You say that like we’re not your parents.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Fair point😅
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
*smiles, resting a hand on Hael’s shoulder*
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
Don’t tire yourself too much today, okay?
Eli Hearts(MC’s Mom)O
And message us when you get to the café.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
I will(◍•ᴗ•◍)
Frederic Hearts(MC’s Dad)DA
We’re proud of you, son.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*touched* Thank you, Dad🥹
Hael hugs them both quickly before grabbing his bag.
The front door closes softly behind him as he steps out into the fresh morning air.
The car waiting outside honks once, his driver ready to take him to the café.
Hael waves goodbye from the gate, smiling.
The soft kind of smile that makes everyone who sees him feel warm.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*texting Levon* On my way ☕✨
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Finally. I was about to send a search team 💬
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
💬 Sorry, mom caught me sleeping again.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Of course he did 💬
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*laughs quietly to himself, leaning back in the car seat*
Driver
Have a good day, young master.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*smile* You too
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Thank you for dropping me off^^
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*waves as the car drives away, then turns toward the café*
Through the glass windows, he sees Levon already inside, laughing with a customer while wiping the counter.
The small bell above the door rings when Hael enters.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Well, well, if it isn’t our angel employee finally arriving😒
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
I’m on time, Eli, stop exaggerating😓
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Mhmm, sure.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
You know what they say “five minutes early is on time.”
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
And you know what they say “don’t mess with someone who didn’t have breakfast yet.” 😌
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Okay okay, peace, angel boy🤣
Hael laughs quietly as he ties his apron, slipping behind the counter with practiced movements.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Busy morning again?
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Not really. just the regulars.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Mrs. Lim came earlier and left a box of pastries for us.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Said she “can’t resist your smile.”
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
𐔌՞꜆. ̫.꜀՞𐦯
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
She’s too kind…
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
No, you’re too soft. people just like you, Hael.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
You could spill coffee on someone and they’d probably apologize to you.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
That’s not true!
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Oh, it’s true.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
You’re our café mascot at this point.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
stop teasing me
(,,>ヮ<,,)!
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
*laughs, handing him a notepad*
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Here, take table 3.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
They asked for someone “gentle” to take their order.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
I wonder who fits that description🤔
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*walks over to table 3, a small group of students talking quietly*
He greets them with his soft smile, the one that always makes people’s mood lighter.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Good morning~ what can I get for you today? *gentle tone*
student
Oh! you’re the one who always serves us😍
student
Your drinks are always perfect.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Thank you…I’ll make sure it’s just as good today>ᴗ<
He writes down their order carefully and returns to the counter, where Levon is watching him with a smirk.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
You see that?
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
One smile from you and the tips jar fills up.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
I’m just doing my job.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
And doing it too well.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*shakes his head, hiding his smile while preparing the drinks*
A few moments later, the door opens again, and a man in a delivery uniform steps in holding a box of supplies.
Delivery Man
Morning, Hael!
Delivery Man
I got your new batch of beans and the syrup set.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Oh! thank you so much!
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Please leave it by the counter.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Want a drink before you go?
Delivery Man
Nah, next time! you’re too nice, kid.
Delivery Man
*leaves, waving*
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
*leans close and whispers*
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
See? everyone loves you.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
You’re being weird today.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Nah. I just think you don’t see yourself the way everyone else does.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
You’re soft, kind, and maybe too trusting…but that’s what makes you, you.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
*smile faintly*
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
You sound serious all of a sudden.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
It’s the caffeine. ignore me😆
They both laugh, the kind of laugh that makes the café feel alive.
The morning passes quietly
Orders, laughter, the comfort of routine.
Hael works with patience and care, greeting every customer like they’ve known each other for years.
By noon, the sunlight has turned golden, shining through the window and landing softly on Hael’s face as he wipes the counter.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
You okay? you look like you’re daydreaming.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Just thinking how…peaceful today feels.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
You say that every day.
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Because it’s true *pouts*
Hael Hearts(MC)DO
Peaceful is good, right?
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Yeah.
Levon(MC’s Friend)DO
Let’s just hope it stays that way.
03
Somewhere across the city.
Secretary
He’s not in a good mood again… *whispering*
Assistant
When is he ever?
Every step he takes feels heavy, controlled, dangerous.
Inside the top floor office, papers are scattered on the floor, a glass shattered near the corner.
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*stands behind his desk, hand on his temple*
His patience ran out hours ago.
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
Who approved these numbers? *coldly*
A few brave executives exchange nervous glances, but no one dares to speak.
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
I asked a question.
Manager
S-sir, it was the finance department’s *stammering*
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
I didn’t ask for excuses.
The silence that follows feels like ice crawling down their spines.
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
You think this company runs on luck?❄
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
You think I tolerate failure?❄
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*picks up the report*
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*flicking through the pages with rough fingers*
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*then throws it on the table*
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
Fix it❄
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
Before the day ends❄
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
If not, I’ll find someone who can.
He turns away, walking toward the window, hands in his pockets.
The city lights below glimmer like stars, a view he used to find beautiful.
Now it only makes him feel empty.
Secretary
Sir, your father called.
Secretary
He said the board is expecting you for dinne-
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*cut her off* Cancel it.
Secretary
But sir, your fathe-
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
I said. Cancel it❄
Secretary
*nods quickly and leaves, closing the door behind her*
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*exhales*
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*loosening his tie*
He drops into the chair, rubbing his eyes.
His head aches. His chest feels heavy
The kind of frustration that builds from years of pretending to be fine.
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*glances at his desk*
“ Expensive whiskey, unopened files, a pile of reports that never ends ”
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
Everything’s a mess.
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*leans back*
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*staring at the ceiling for a long moment before muttering*
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
I need silence.
He presses a small button on his desk.
The lights dim automatically
The glass walls turn opaque, hiding him from the world.
For the first time that day, no one can see him.
But even alone, he doesn’t relax.
His mind keeps spinning. numbers, orders, betrayal, threats.
He can’t escape the noise inside his head.
A knock breaks the silence.
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
What now?❄
Bodyguard
Sir, we found the one who tampered with your last shipment *outside*
Bodyguard
Do you want us to handle it?
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
I’ll deal with it myself.
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*stands, grabbing his coat*
The expression on his face doesn’t change, calm, emotionless.
But the quiet fury in his eyes says everything.
The devil’s leaving the tower again.
Lucifer steps out of the car, black gloves on, coat fluttering lightly in the breeze.
Every man lowers his gaze as he passes.
Bodyguard
He’s inside, sir.
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*didn’t answer*
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*walk slowly*
When he stops, it’s in front of a man kneeling in the center of the floor, trembling, hands bound, eyes wide with fear.
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
You tampered with my shipment.
？？？
*shaking* N-no, I swear! I didn’t!
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
Don’t lie to me.
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
I run a business built on order.
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
When someone breaks that, they don’t just cost me money, they insult me.
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*circles the man slowly*
His presence enough to make the air feel colder.
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
Do you know what happens to people who insult me?
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
They disappear.
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*looks at one of his men*
A silent command in his eyes.
The guards drag the traitor away into the dark
There’s no sound, only footsteps fading into distance.
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*fixes his cuffs, unbothered*
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
Clean the rest. I don’t want a trace left.
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*turns to leave*
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
And next time someone tries this
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
Don’t bring them to me alive.
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*steps outside*
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*exhales, slipping his gloves off*
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
Patience is a luxury *to himself*
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
And I ran out of that years ago.
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*enters his car*
The driver glances at him through the mirror but quickly looks away.
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
To the mansion.
When the car stops, the gates close behind it with a heavy click.
Lucifer steps out, the gravel crunching under his shoes.
A servant hurries to open the door, bowing deeply.
Servant
Welcome home, Young master *bowing*
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*didn’t answer*
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*removes his gloves slowly, handing them off before walking inside*
At the end of the hallway, a familiar voice breaks the silence.
？？？
You’re late again, Lucifer.
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*stops*
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
I had work, mom.
Jhevan Rossi(ML’s Mom)DO
You always have work.
Jhevan Rossi(ML’s Mom)DO
You treat this house like a hotel *raising a brow*
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
That’s what it feels like most days.
Jhevan Rossi(ML’s Mom)DO
*roll his eyes*
Jhevan Rossi(ML’s Mom)DO
You sound just like your father.
Jhevan Rossi(ML’s Mom)DO
*walks closer, chin tilted proudly*
Jhevan Rossi(ML’s Mom)DO
Did you at least eat dinner?
Jhevan Rossi(ML’s Mom)DO
Tchhh
Jhevan Rossi(ML’s Mom)DO
Of course not.
Jhevan Rossi(ML’s Mom)DO
God forbid the great Lucifer Rossi consumes something other than caffeine and rage.
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*exhale*
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
I’m not in the mood for jokes tonight, mom.
Jhevan Rossi(ML’s Mom)DO
*mocking gasp*
Jhevan Rossi(ML’s Mom)DO
Then it’s the perfect time to make them.
Before Lucifer can reply, another man enters the hall
His presence is just as heavy as Lucifer’s, but calmer
Victor Rossi(ML’s Dad)DA
Lucian, stop picking on him.
Jhevan Rossi(ML’s Mom)DO
I’m not picking, I’m parenting.
Victor Rossi(ML’s Dad)DA
You’re annoying.
Jhevan Rossi(ML’s Mom)DO
You married me anyway😌
Victor Rossi(ML’s Dad)DA
*sighs, but there’s a ghost of a smile*
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*stands between them, emotionless, used to this scene*
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
If you’re both done, I’ll head to my room.
Jhevan Rossi(ML’s Mom)DO
Lucifer *softly*
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*stops*
Jhevan Rossi(ML’s Mom)DO
You look tired, baby.
Jhevan Rossi(ML’s Mom)DO
You keep carrying everything like it’s supposed to destroy you.
Jhevan Rossi(ML’s Mom)DO
*sighing* Just…don’t forget you have a home, hm?
Jhevan Rossi(ML’s Mom)DO
Even if you treat it like a battlefield.
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
I won’t forget.
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
*walk pass them, heading upstairs*
Lucifer Rossi(ML)E
Home huh? *to himself*
His reflection in the glass looks tired, not just from work, but from a life that never stops demanding control.
He closes his eyes, just for a second, letting the sound of rain fill the silence he created.
