WHO: Lena, Beelzebub, Thomas, open to Jamie and Roxanna
WHAT: Pleasedon'thurtme
WHEN: Friday, late afternoon
WHERE: Their house
WARNINGS: Language

Friday afternoons classes were always the worst, as by lunchtime Lena had completely lost all semblance of energy. It didn't help that the class was about patient record-keeping, of all things. By the time she arrived him, she was dragging her feet. She dropped her bag on the floor, pushing the door shut with her foot, only to hear a knock the second the door was closed.

That...didn't make any sense.

Lena turned slowly, regarding the door with suspicion. If someone had been that close behind her, surely she would have noticed them? Wouldn't they have said something? With trepidation, Lena reached out to pull the door open a fraction, and that was where she saw Beelzebub standing, staring at her with his dark eyes.

"Oh fuck no!" she shouted, but Beelzebub quickly shoved what looked like a tree branch into the door to stop her from closing it.

"Just listen for a second!" Beelzebub hissed.

Lena, feeling only slightly secure in the fact that he couldn't get past the door unless she wanted him to, backed away and let the door swing open. "How the fuck did you even find us?!"

Beelzebub just gave her a pitying look. "I'm a fly, Lena. I've been following you all day."

The knowledge that this bastard had been stalking her caused Lena's belly to clench in anger. She darted to the kitchen and returned, armed with oranges from the fruit bowl which she immediately hurled in Beelzebub's direction. He couldn't come in, but she sure as hell could throw shit at him until he went away. "FUCK YOU" she screamed as one of the fruits caught him square in the forehead before he could duck.

"Just stop!" he yelped, his hands up to protect himself from the citrus onslaught. "Lena, stop! I came to- ouch! Fuck! I saw that caveman and dandelion head the other day!"

At the mention of Jamie, Lena froze, narrowing her eyes at the demon. "Don't," she said, sounding ever so calm. "Don't you dare. You'll get near my son again over my dead body."

Beelzebub raised his eyebrows, looking like he was seriously considering that, before shaking his head. "Shut up for a fucking second, fucking hell! I'm trying to say I saw them and I want you assholes all to know I won't fucking mess with any of you, even if you run into me in the future! I want to torture the lot of you for all eternity, but I'm not dumb enough to fuck with a horseman again, okay? So just- Okay?"

Lena blinked at Beelzebub, because it seemed that suddenly he was scared of her. And then, without even answering, she commence throwing fruit again.

	"Possibly," Jamie gritted out, tumbling down the stairs to hug his father. "Lena was just chucking things at him." "Why was he even here...whoever he was?" Roxanna asked, taking in the mess of the entryway. "Did he...did he just steal only your left shoes?" "I can't really give a fuck right now," Jamie muttered. "I have other pairs upstairs."

	"It was Beelzebub," Thomas gritted out, his arms around Jamie. "Fucker." "He came to say something about...not coming after us or something? Seriously, Famine scared the crap out of him," she said, moving to stand beside Roxanna. "He said he followed me all day long." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well that makes sense," Roxanna sighed, closing the door and locking it behind Thomas. "I'm glad she did," Jamie said, still not moving away from his dad. "He deserved it. Roxanna glanced over at Lena. "Well that's...super creepy," she said, raising an eyebrow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Thomas clearly wasn't in a mood to move anywhere away from Jamie either, and he kept his arm around his son. "He did," Thomas said quietly. "Are you okay, Lena?"

"Yeah, Lena said, wrapping her arms around herself. "I just don't like knowing he can turn into a fly and like...go anywhere he wants. But he couldn't come in. Our house is safe. I feel like I might puke though."

"Me too," Thomas admitted.

	"You missed it, she was throwing oranges, it was great," Jamie said, smiling faintly. "But I feel you on that. What if he's been following you for weeks? That's super fucking creepy." Roxanna didn't say anything, just double-checked that the door was locked, and began to tidy up the entryway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Lena's eyes widened at the mere thought that he could have been following her for weeks. She shuddered and shook her head. "No, no. I- He would have gotten bored-" she said, not sounding so sure.

"Hey, come here," Thomas said, finally moving, but only to reach out and wrap Lena in his arms. He kissed her hair and held her close. "He's gone and he's too afraid to mess with us. It's okay. I love you."

Lena buried her face in his chest and just leaned there against him, listening to his heartbeat for a moment. "I love you too," she finally murmured.

Jamie nudged her gently with his shoulder. "It's gonna be OK, Lena," he said quietly. "It has to be. Because the alternative doesn't bear thinking about."

"So when you say Famine...?" Roxanna asked quietly.

"See also: Horseman of the Apocalypse," Jamie answered. "My aunt Maddy is hr pastry chef. She locked that guy in the wine cellar of her restaurant and kept him constantly hungry. Apparently she put the fear of God into him."

Roxanna's eyes widened. "Remind me not to piss her off."

	"I think you're safe as long as you don't hurt Maddy," Lena said offhandedly. She looped an arm around Jamie and drew him in so she could kiss his forehead. "Okay. Irish coffee is happening." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Maddy gives me chocolate and hair tips," Roxanna said, smiling slightly. "Plus she scares me slightly. Sometimes. I think she's safe from me." "Yessss, please with the Irish coffee," Jamie agreed. "I feel like we could all use one right now." (Reply to this) (Parent)
