Gone Quietly

Six months have passed, and Belial has only visited a couple of times, yet he seems to keep his distance.

Anais looks at him, wondering if he really fears loving her just as Lucifer had. He is only here now because Lucifer felt she was safer with Balial watching over her.

"So is this how it will go Belial?" Anais questions.

"How what will go?" He turns and looks at her for a second before averting his eyes again.

"The next twenty-four hours. You sat silent avoiding looking at me. If it is that painful to be around me Belial get someone else to babysit me for Lucifer."

He whips his head around clearly shocked by my words.

"I'm not a weak mortal anymore, Lucifer needs to remember that!" I don't get why he is so afraid of letting me be alone.

"How can he forget? He wants you safe, he loves you. So just let him do it."

"Does he though?" She can't help but wonder if he does.

"That is your stupid human side coming free, put it away and keep it locked up until I leave please" Belial
