You never have been felt so grateful with life, even though you face so many obstacles along the way. You manage to pull it off, become the most treasured person for the brothers, the king of devildom itself with his humble and loyal butler, the angels, especially your own beloved sorcerer.

When you arrived being called to the world where the devil belong, you were so scared. Trying just as hard to be good so maybe, after making the one who called you satisfied they will let you go back to where you belong.

It's stupid logical thing, if you think about it. But now, you become more attached to them than ever. You would never let go of any deep friendship with them. Even going back never crossed your mind anymore.

Even if you got dragged, shoved into another timeline where the brothers didn't know you in the slightest. You, still care and love them as much.

You now walking along side them, listening in to their conversation.

"How long do demon live, anyway?"

"Probably about as long as angels, I'm guessing."

"When you think about it that way, human live short-crazy lives, huh? I mean, I guess that doesn't apply to all of them, Like Solomon, for instance..."

It hit you hard at that moment,

You had stopped walking instead of kept listening. Their conversation becomes blurry with each second passing by. You looked down at your shoes.

That's right, you have been loving that famous sorcerer since you came to Devildom. It's like, you depend on him since he is the only human representative for exchange students back on your timeline. These thoughts never crossed your mind, considering you still have so much plenty of time to spend with everyone.

...

You just have to hope that your time not ending so soon, right?

Ever since you woke up from the slumber after accidentally promising in the Fontaine of Knowledge. Everyone became close again to you, they were so afraid of losing you. Remembering every faces looked so relieved to see you awake and about, that made your lips arc up a little.

It feels so warm.. like there is a place where you belong and accepted you.

The night in the Cocytus Hall are different than at Lamentation. It's peacefully quiet sometimes that you wish, it is not as quiet as it is. Because now, your mind buzzing in and off with anxiety. It's almost like going to eat you alive.

Your eyes are now looking up, gazing upon the lonely moon up in the darkest sky from a window in the corridor. You wish that you could hear the moon talk, so that it'll give you answer.

"(Y/n)?"

You turned to the sound of your name being called, the deep spark blue now gazing at you.

When did he get back? You didn't hear any sound coming from the front door or his footsteps?

Ah, yes, teleportation.

"You haven't gone to sleep? It's already late you know.."

"Welcome back, Sol."

You greet him still in your position, offering a smile from which he replied back. He step closer to you and now, stood beside you.

How sweet, to have a company like him. You treasure this moment very much, just the two of you and the sound of ticking clock filling the corridor. It probably complimanting each other with each of your heartbeat.

"The moon look so lonely so I paid a visit and companying them. You see, the stars haven't show themselves just yet." without much thinking you replied. Gazing up again, hiding each thoughts that have been occupied your mind

The man beside you never be fooled that easily. He knows something is up with you. And yet, he didn't address it immediately. Observing you, he noticed the melancholy in your eyes. Now he follow your vision looking up staring at the full moon.

"Is something on your mind? Would you like to share it with me?" He ask with such polite and gentleness.

Silence engulfed them, smile still gracefully captive on your lips, turning your head to the side facing him.

"Say.. have you ever tried to grow human's plants here?"

Solomon tilt his head, you were wondering about an experiment? That's rare. Usually the man itself who inniatively giving suggestions, to what should be experimented. But it did piqued his interest.

"No, I haven't really thought of that. Are you planning to grow it here without any sun?"

You hum answering him, "Yea, I'm curious. Would you help me grow one?"

The gesture make you look towards your hand. The icy touch hug the warm ones.

He smiled, "Sure if that's what you want, we could make it work. We will take care of it together." his hand grasp your hand holding it firmly.

How comforting...

For a second you wondered, will he ever going to miss this moment you have together later on? In hope, those memories that lingers brought smile to his face instead of transparent droplets across his cheek.

✦✦✦

Time passed by so fast, you and Solomon searching the alternative to subtitute the sun and temperature that could make the plant alive and grow in the surface of Devildom.

Of course as a genius and top sorcerer, he find a way, along with special potion for the plants. Soon, you successfully required the flower you have been searching for, it still just a stem that looks fragile.

"Will it be okay?"

You asked the man now carrying the plant along with the gardening tools. You came along helping carrying the water can.

"Trust me, it will worked out! I already make sure which spell and moreover both of us will take care of the rest."

"Did you know, they said if you talk to the plant it hears you. That's why they can grow depending on the words and atmosphere around us."

He said reassuringly, now the two of you crouching down, making a place to given the so called leaf a place to live by.

"Ah, yes, the talking tulips. It can even ask to be given food right?"

"And, we are done for the first step." He smiled towards you.

He nodded, standing up after finish planting. He then cast a spell, called upon a small luminating light decorating the garden area. It is feels like back to the earth.

...

"Thank you, Sol." you smiled back to him, then looking back to the plant, "Grow up strong, little one. Now, this is your new home."

✦✦✦

Planting it at the back of the Cocytus Hall garden together with Solomon, you happily take care of the plant.

Everyday you will take a time to visit it whenever you have the time after solving the following problems of the brothers and helping the preparation for RAD.

When both of you have spared time, two of you will spend the time on the garden. Bringing along some tea and snack— of course prevent the man tempered the food you will consume.

You taking your time placing the tea cup, looking straight to him, "It's pretty famous flower, called Chrysanthemum."

"So, you haven't really told me the name of the plant. What is it?" Solomon ask curiously while looking at you sipping your tea.

"Oh? Why the sudden interest all of sudden?"

You answer him with a smile, "It just struck me and I'm curious! Also the flower is beautiful, it have good meanings too."

The two of you enjoying the tea together, it's as if giving the little flower a friend. You always look hopeful towards the flower. It make Solomon wondered, but he never really brought it up or questioning you further.

"I see.."

...

Every effort seems to be fruitful that soon the white petals appearing yet to be bloom. Looking at the progress, you excitedly run inside to inform the man who take care the flower alongside you, saying that soon it will beautifully bloom.

It is the day, now the two of you stood side by side looking at the flower that successfully bloom. It made you smile cheerfully.

"Look Sol, how beautiful the petals are."

For the time being, the sorcerer smiled towards his significant other.

"Yes, it really is captivating and bring so much joy. Like someone I know." he said while looking at you fondly.

Feel the gaze on you, make your eyes shift towards him. A moment passing by, soon after realizing what he meant heat surfacing across your face. Chuckled in respond of what he said, feeling shy yet content at the same time. How cheeky he is, saying something like that so suddenly.

Solomon reach your figure giving you the warmest hug you ever could received, he then bring your head towards his board chest so you could hear the pit pat of his heart beat loudly.

You closed your eyes, smiling. Feel so fulfilled with each seconds spend along side him. For now, you feel so complete, and for sure will cherish every moment while you still breathing and smiling brightly. And share the happiness with him, making the most of your precious time and just as important in his and your life.

Time.

It is a blessing yet can be cursed just as same. But for now the blissful kiss you shared with him in the middle of Cocytus Hall garden shall never be forgotten.

How lovely..
