Even after contracting Paris, and meeting with Sidonia, Teddy realizes life is back to it's rather dull routine.

The sun peeked behind buildings, rising slowly, and piercing through windows with it's blinding brilliance. Heads turned to avoid being disturbed by the sphere. Teddy on the other hand was awake and had been before any natural lighting had blessed this side of the planet. Darks circles were clearly visible beneath hazel eyes which stared blankly at the ceiling above. The paint above had begun to peel. Should he repaint it? Nah. Not like it really mattered. As a matter a fact, nothing mattered to the teenager at this very moment.
Well, except two things. Paris and his contract that binded him to the imp. Thoughts of how to achieve the goal had set up camp in his mind and refused to budge. Maybe smashing his skull repeatedly into a rough surface would do the trick? But even that required effort and energy. Teddy sighed, rubbed his eyes, and turned to his side. There, right beside him on his bed, was Paris. Grinning. Yup, smiling as always. " I'm tired of you. " Teddy announced dryly. " If you had a nose I'd blow all of my morning breath at you. But no, you have to be a total freak and just be...I don't even know. " Another sigh escaped chapped lips.
School.
The thought of having to lift is weary body from the mattress and begin the process of prepping up managed to squeeze in with sudden alert. A groan and a roll of the eyes Teddy wormed himself out his collection of silky smooth blankets. It was definetly a difficult task. Honestly, who could jump out of bed in total excitement to LEARN. Certainly not this young man. " Paris " The teen called out to his 'buddy', grabbing a brush placed on a nightstand. The imp remained silent but turned to the human's direction to show his acknowledgement. " You're coming with me to school, ya know? And uh...it'd be nice if you like, weren't uhhhh...." He paused and began to brush his wavy hair. " Like, you know. Don't be all visible. I'm sure you know that contracting demons isn't exactly something to be shared with people. "
Paris simply grunted.

Mornings in the Alexander household never failed to cast a calm atmosphere. Mostly due to the fact that Teddy was the only body who moved around in those hours. His parents remained in bed till a few hours after his departure to school, their day began a bit later. Teddy had grown accustomed to it all, experiencing this same exact morning for far too long. He hardly ever put any thought on what he did, just flowed about until it was time to make his way towards the exit. Though Paris's recent presence added a bit of...something. That something Teddy secretly, and would never admit, made him feel a bit more comfortable. Even if the damn thing said nothing at all.
" Come here you clump of meat. " Paris moved at a glacial speed towards Teddy's open arms. " Imma feed you and water that stupid stick real quick. After that you stay put and wait for me till I'm all ready to go. " The teenager spoke to Paris as he were a mindless animal. If he wasn't so calm he would have definitely snarled BUT for a demon he was surprisingly kind. Kinda.
