Lucas stepped out the shower, drying himself off, and slipping into some pajamas including an old t shirt and baggy plaid pajama pants. He peered into the mirror, staring into his dull brown eyes while leaning into the sink. His recently blue-dyed hair was messed up and a little curlier even, not slicked back anymore.

Dyed your hair? Admit it, you only seek the attention no one gave you.

He frowned, glancing up in the mirror at the large dark gray beast looming over his shoulder. Those blank, judging, horizontal pupils that seemed to stare into his soul forced him divert his gaze

Yet they still don't talk to you. You're a loner, Lucas. Cant even make a friend that won't forget you in a month.

He clenched his jaw, hissing a quiet," Shut up". Lucas glanced back at his own reflection.

Pitiful, they thought in unison.

"Get out my head!", he growled loudly, whipping around. Though all he saw was nothing. It disappeared. Lucas' chapped lips quirked almost into a relived smile.

Just listen to me, and everyone will love you.

The teen exhaled angrily, whipping around to find his parasite sitting in the bathtub. "Get our of there, you useless puffball", he snapped, sounding as if this happened before. The Kuirian didn't respond but fluffed our it's fur in spite.

Everyone will love you, Lucas. Imagine that.

"Hey, shut it, fluffy", he countered, his tense form loosening up; though he still wore a frown and tired expression.

Watch it.

The demon was still curled up in the bathtub with narrowed eyes, offended by the name 'fluffy'. It's tail hung out the tub like a limp rag while both of it's giant paws hooked over the edge. That depressingly fuzzy demon almost looked like a cat—

"Lucas?! Are you on the phone? Well dinner's ready!".

"Oh shi-". Lucas forgot to not speak out loud, but still ended up doing so anyway. "Yeah, I'm coming! Just talking to myself!". He swore he noticed a slight raise of the corner's of fluffy's mouth, as if it were an odd version of a smirk.

What did I tell you about calling me Fluffy.

'Yeah yeah, sorry demonic kitty monster '.

Dinner today was takeout. His mother isn't able to cook due to her coming home everyday at 12 at night. Lucas, about to take a bite of his food, was suddenly overwhelmed by an extremely cold yet hot sensation spreading through his entire body. Then, he lost control of his limbs, which were now stuffing his face with his food.

'Did you just possess me?'

'Just wanted to see what 'human food' was like'.

'Dammit, demon, get out my body'

'Fine; only because I pity you'
