7: A kind jacket

Hades couldn't help but rub his eyes every now and then as they began to burn in the air from the lack of sleep. He glanced his desk to the watch just sitting at the corner of the room and it was just around noon, hardly close to their closing hours.

He wasn't given that much work, but he couldn't sleep on the job. Not after he turned up late. Otherwise his uncle would degrade him, and he wouldn't want that. It was just embarrassing.

He rose the coffee mug to his lips and took a small sip, sighing out as the strong taste of black coffee rolled on his tongue and down into his throat.

Lilith would probably love a coffee...

He thought to himself as he took another sip and glanced towards the door.

She's probably tired too.

He nodded to his own thoughts and got up from his seat, placing his mug down and walking towards the door as he made his way to the elevator. Once in, he quickly tapped the floor leading to the in-door café, a café just for the employees in case they skipped breakfast and had to get to work on time. It was a large building of course, with countless floors and branches. But there were only two floors just for the cafeteria, an in-door restaurant, and the café. The rest of the floors were just offices, each floor rising according to position.

The door to the café opened and he stepped in, walking straight to the woman who seemed to be dozing on her spot.

"One hot chocolate." Hades said out, alerting the woman who quickly nodded and turned to the machine. "Heavy cream, milk too. Sweetened." He explained and the woman nodded as she tried to complete the drink as fast as she could.

Luckily for the staff, some things in the café and restaurant were free and very limited. So even if you had a free meal, there wasn't much to choose from.

"One hot chocolate," the woman smiled and placed it onto the counter. He slid the bill to her and took the cup, walking back into the elevator.

He tapped on Lilith's floor number and sighed as he leaned back against the walls, waiting for the doors to open. He glanced down at the cup, knowing too well Lilith was probably going to give it to her friend as he noticed before. But even though he found out, he still went on.

The doors opened and he stepped out and into the floor, of course, as usual, he caught a few eyes from the offices with their walls unsealed. He simply ignored them and got to Lilith's office. He knocked softly against the door and waited for a moment but didn't get her reply. He quietly opened the door and peeped inside the room, only to notice she was fast asleep on the couch.

Stepping into the office, he quietly closed the door behind him, not wanting to wake her up and walked to her desk where he placed the cup. He sighed out as he glanced around the room until his eyes fell on Lilith.

He made his way to her and squatted right in front of her, watching as she remained unaware of his presence while deep in sleep with in face, simply admiring her beauty. Her long dark lashes, her red lips, her nose. Her brows...

He took in every single detail before sighing out heavily and standing up.

As much as he would have wanted to reach out and stroke her cheek, he would only make it weird if she woke up. He shifted his gaze down her neck, taking in her large chest size, down to her small waist and wide hips and then her smooth slender legs.

Compared to how she was as a child, she most certainly grew twice the times of her features.

So he thought.

He pulled his jacket off and draped it around her, knowing too well she wasn't going to return it and that he would just come back for it later after closing hours. Probably find it on the couch or hanged on the door handle outside, since she locks her office, just like everyone else.

With a slight nod, he turned and left the room, heading back to his office.
