Exams and prom were around the corner; she had decided some time ago that the latter was to be her 'reward' for going through the former, although given the circumstances now... Well, Lizzy wasn't so sure anymore. It would have been perfect if she did not visit him... But she just had to go visit that mean, grumpy reaper. Her and her odd attachments to odd friends, some odder than others. Speaking of 'odd friends' though, there was one she had not seen much of, outside of classes and that event where he asked Amrita to be his 'special friend'. Thus, after gathering information from some gnomes (who gave her the correct information on pain of death), she made her way to another part of the Demon dorms where Charlie was said to be, a box of piping hot cheese pizza in one hand. Counting down the numbers on the door, she finally arrived at the one the gnomes had told her about.
Hopefully, he's in tonight.
"Charlie? You in there?" She knocked on the door thrice, tilting her head, trying to listen for any signs of Charlie from within. She then took one step back from the door before knocking again with her free hand, "It's Lizzy! I brought pizza for you~" If he doesn't answer the door to 'pizza', he must really be out.

Visitors at Charlies dorm door were beyond rare. Lizzies knocking was very unusual and caught the demon off guard. He'd been in the process of mopping his floor when she arrived. The word pizza caused the demon to throw the mop in the air and some how get his foot stuck in the mop bucket he'd been using. Soapy water got every where.
Charlie didn't care though. Pizza? He wasted no time opening the door a huge grin on his boyish face.
"Pizza?" He looked at Lizzy, then at the pizza. PIZZA FOR REAL!?
"Lizzy? You have Pizza? Wh-what are you doing here?" Charlie looked over his shoulder at his now very wet dorm floor. Usually the dorm was , surprisingly, very clean and neat.

Pizza really is a magic word for summoning Charlie.
"Yes, cheese pizza to be exact," She chuckled lightly, giving him a quick one-handed hug before releasing him, ruffling the boil's hair with her free hand and holding up the pizza box in the other, "I didn't know what other toppings you might like, so I just got the cheese one." She peered into his room, having never been there before. The first thing she saw happened to be a mop, followed by a very wet and soapy looking floor.
"... Were you doing something before I got here?" She raised an eyebrow before grinning, "Just came by to see you since I don't think I see you enough, Charlie."

A reaper would never need to know Charlies real name to summon him. The word pizza was indeed enough to summon the pink haired boil.
"Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeseeeeeeee" Charlie drooled. Any sort of Pizza was always fine with Charlie. It was pizza! The perfect food. In a past life Charlie could have very well been a ninja or a turtle. Possibly both.
"Oh uh..." The demon looked down at his bucket foot and the now wet floor. "Nothing all that important. Come on in Lizzy! You can sit on the mattress if you like," He pulled on her arm rather then waiting for her to step in on her own.

"Whoaaa, slow down! I'm in, I'm in!" She laughed softly, the sudden tug almost causing the pizza box to go tumbling down to the floor; luckily, she managed to keep her hold on it as she entered Charlie's room for the very first time. It was... Surprisingly neat. Or rather, she had expected more clutter, since it was Charlie; and yes, 'Charlie' might as well be an adjective. Perhaps she really should spend more time getting to know the boil better... The only really 'Charlie' thing about the room was the oddly placed mop, wet floor and... Well, Charlie's bucket-foot. She wasn't sure how she missed that until now, but...
"Let's clean the place up and get you dry before we eat, alright?" She suggested, staring at his bucket-foot with a raised eyebrow before grinning, "The pizza can be the reward for cleaning up! Hm, where should I put it...?" She wasn't sure if Charlie had a specific place to put his food, and didn't want to place it on the floor.

Charlie looked over at the water spilled floor and mouthed the words 'ooooops' but no sound actually came out. Well dang it! Cleaning up then pizza?
"Awww.. Okay," Oddly Charlie didn't argue with the pink haired demon. He went to this closet and pulled out a mostly used roll of paper towels and began laying them over the spilled mess. He had forgotten about the bucket foot, even as it clunk along beside him, until he looked for it to put the paper towels in.
"Oh..." He lifted his foot up out of the bucket and placed the wet paper towels in it. There was still the matter of the mop on the floor which was leaking sudzy soap water on the wooden floors. At this rate it was a sure thing that Charlie was going to warp the wood if left to his own devices. Not to mention a bunch of water still remained. Charlie was just wanting the pizza at this point.
"All done," He declared, even though he clearly wasn't. "OKAY LIZZY CAN I HAVE A SLICE NOW PLEASE !? We can eat on the mattress ~" He proudly pointed to the mattress. It hadn't belonged to Charlie at all it was actually the schools. Charlie him self did not own a mattress or much of anything.

She looked as Charlie went about cleaning up the mess. When he declared that he was done, she couldn't help chuckling softly as she shook her head in an amused manner, "Oh fine, fine..." She passed the whole pizza box to Charlie with a grin, giving him permission to start eating. Meanwhile, she went over to the mop, grabbed it, wrung the water out from it into the bucket (well, to the best of her abilities since she was not used to the concept of mopping floors for herself, sadly) before mopping up the excess water on the floor and repeating the process until the floor was relatively dry.
... Cue mild sense of achievement!
Putting the mop into the bucket and then pushing both objects to the side, she then joined Charlie at the mattress, sitting down beside him and peering at the pizza box, wondering how many he had already eaten; she wasn't sure how... Hygienic or unhygienic it must be to eat where you sleep, but since Charlie said to...

Charlie had managed to down a little over a third of the pizza while Lizzy had gone to busy her self with picking up the male demons slack. Half of what Charlie had eaten was all over his cheeks and mouth along with a silly grin. Sitting on the mattress eating pizza he looked more like a boy then a teenager.
Lizzy came back and Charlie handed her a piece of pizza.
"ITS SO GOOD!" Clearly Charlie was enjoying the pizza. "You should come by more often," He nodded. He was a little unclear why Lizzy was here right now beside him but he was happy to have her with or with out pizza. Visitors were a new concept to the demon. He usually was the one to bother other students at their dorms.

"I really should... Alright, I promise that I will," She laughed, ruffling Charlie's hair before taking the offered pizza slice with her other hand as she smiled, "Why thank you~ I see you're enjoying it! That's great!" Her smile only grew as she nibbled on the pizza, her attention on the demon; watching Charlie made her enjoy the simpler things in life... It was nice to just kick back, relax and forget things for a bit. After all, he was the one who boldly asked Amrita to be his 'special friend', even if that moment did cause her to literally face palm, something she did not do that often.
"Speaking of coming by more often, I bet mother would love to meet you," She giggled, tilting her head as she grinned, "Another pink-haired demon~ You should drop by my place during the upcoming vacation! Where do you live?" She figured it might be impossible if he lived far from her house, but if not... Well, arrangements can surely be made!

Meet Lizzies mother? That would be something interesting for sure. Charlie was sure that her mother was a taller version of Lizzy which made him smile. He imagined mama Lizzy for a moment and imagined how nice she must be. Then the question of where he lived came up.
"I live in a closet sometimes..." Charlie rubbed his head. "I had a job at an inn before coming here. I cleaned for them and they were nice enough to let me stay in their coat closet free of charge. Was a sweet gig!" Come to think of it this was the biggest room Charlie had ever had to him self. Even when his mother was around she kept him in a very small closet like room. Charlie had to do all the cooking , cleaning, and general house work. Anyone who actually heard the story of Charlies life would look at the boy as some one who needed extra attention and love but to Charlie it was just normal. He loved his mother just fine even if she left him.
"Sure I can drop on by!" Charlie happily helped him self to another slice.

Charlie was right that Lizzy's mother was a taller, older version of Lizzy. Or rather, Lizzy was a shorter, younger version of her mother with wavy hair - that was apparently from father's side of the family.
She wasn't sure how to feel about the knowledge that Charlie held a job and lived in a closet prior to coming to school. Another thing she noted? The absence of parents; at least, she assumed they were absent - which parent would knowingly allow their child to hold a job at that age and spend their days in a closet. A closet! That was hardly a proper place to raise a child, unless you happen to be a closet monster of some sort and it was a part of growing up.
Charlie was not a closet monster.
"Would you like to come live with me during the vacation then?" She asked casually after finishing off her slice of pizza, smiling at the boil, "We have some guest rooms, but hardly any guests... And mother gets lonely by herself sometimes, when I'm out." Thus she had made the effort to contact her mother regularly ever since she enrolled into Amity, "I'm sure she won't mind you joining us during the vacation! You can even come to the boutique with us! I'm intending to help out during our break~"

It took a moment for Charlie to process the offer. Warm bed maybe? A room?
"WHAAAT!? YOU WANT ME TOO ... YES!? CAN I !? REALLY!!!??? A ROOM!!??" Excitable that was Charlie for sure. He had heard something he wanted and he was shameless about accepting such a wonderful offer. The demons wings extended in an approving manner. For a moment Charlie even forgot about the pizza. For a moment that was. Shortly after his out burst Charlie had picked up another slice and was stuffing his face yet again.

Lizzy couldn't resist grinning at Charlie's reaction. She also couldn't resist giving him a hug from his side, wrapping her arms around him and giving him a squeeze before letting go; she didn't even mind the fact that his face was in a cheesy mess at the moment.
"Yes, really," She giggled, "A room, and you can treat the house as your own... Please don't... Set it on fire or something though." She wasn't sure her mother would take well to having their house burnt down, "When we reach there, I'll show you around~ It's not very big compared to the houses of some demons, but usually it's just mother and me... Cozy little place." She smiled fondly at the memory of home before patting Charlie on his head, "On the first day of the break, I'll come pick you up from your room, so have your things ready by then, alright? We'll be taking the train from the nearby station! It'll be my first time taking one... I'm quite excited!"

Charlie let Lizzy hug him from the side with no protest. He loved hugs in all honesty and would have hugged the demon back but his sleeved hands were full of pizza. Charlie was at least aware enough not to get pizza all over Lizzy even if his face was covered in the stuff. Some might have gotten on her any way.
The fact that Lizzy and her mom lived together almost made Charlie want to ask about her dad but he refrained from asking. Charlies own father was a mystery to the demon. He'd never known his father. The only trace he had was a letter he kept in his duffle bag that he'd recently gotten a few months back. The whole reason Charlie was even attending school was to learn how to read that letter.
"THATS SO AWESOME!! I promise I won't set anything on fire," Charlie gave Lizzy a nod. It was a good thing Charlie was no pyro demon or red dragon. There would have been a lot of trouble if that was the case but luckily for Lizzy and the rest of the school, fire wasn't something Charlie was overly interested in. He'd once died at the hands of fire with Lizzy. Thats not to say that Charlie wasn't a destructive force. He was.
"I'll be ready I promise! ImsoEXCITEDIcanhardlycontainit!!" Charlie through his arms up in the air.. A slice of pizza was launched into the air. It stuck to the ceiling and stayed there. Charlie hadn't even noticed he was to busy being excited about a long slumber party at Lizzies.

"Good," She laughed, ruffling his hair again with the hand that was not oily from holding a slice of pizza just now, "At the end of the break, I would like the house to remain in a similar condition to when we move in at the start of the break~" She was aware that there was now a piece of pizza stuck on the ceiling. She might also be getting some gnomes in to clean up the mess once Charlie is out of his room.
"I'm excited to have you over too!" She grinned happily as she tilted her head, "I'll have to tell mother but I doubt she will mind... Ohh, I can't wait for the break!" It would be like having a younger sibling around! She had always wanted a younger sibling! Well, not always, but at times, it did get lonely growing up by herself, especially when her mother was busy with the boutique. While things had changed now, sort of, having a younger sibling still sounded kind of awesome. Getting up from the mattress, she gave Charlie one last hug after making a mental note to take a shower back in her own room.
"I'm going back now, but feel free to drop by anytime!" She nodded, "Remember to throw the pizza box away after you're done with it! Wouldn't want wild scargs finding their way into your room..." She shuddered at the thought before heading for the door, pausing after she opened the door, "I'll see you around, alright?"
