Corrupted (Male Reader x Charlie) (BOOK 1)

Close Call

       It had been a rough sleep. Y/N had just killed hundreds of demons along side his, well friends now. It was nice to have some in Hell. Anyways, he didn't feel the same as he did with Sinville. He then realized that this time the slaughter had a purpose: protection. The first time was senseless, this time he was defending his and others home. He felt good about it, but the dark thoughts and what if's lingered as he went to bed. What if he turned and destroyed everything? Those dark thoughts eventually pilled up and caused him to wake up earlier than usual, he looked over and saw his phone read 7:28.

"Geez" he said, getting up and stretching out, fixing his shorts due to them be tangled from his tossing and turning that night. He then saw a flash and heard lots of noises, then saw the source. "Nifty? What are you doing here?" he said, and Nifty stopped dead in her tracks.

"Oh, sorry Y/N. I just was cleaning rooms and didn't realize it was yours. I should leave" she said, sprinting towards the door.

"Wait, no it's fine I guess. Just kind of surprised me" Y/N said, putting a shirt and some socks. He still couldn't believe that his skin was this ashy, gray color.

"Oh, ok. I'm about done anyways" she said, turning around and dashing into the bathroom. "Of course you are" he muttered, walking to the bathroom to grab his shoes and brush his teeth. He noticed that gotten a hair sharper, not as sharp as when he went corrupt, but definitely not dull human teeth, or at least not fully anymore. "Hey Y/N? Are you ok?" Nifty asked as Y/N spit into the sink, then proceeding to wipe his mouth on the towel.

"Um, yeah. What makes you say th-" he started, but stopped when he saw Nifty. In her hand, dangled a dirty shirt Y/N had wore a couple of days ago, but the part that made them both worry was the black ooze across the bottom part of the shirt. That ooze was from his mark, he had to talk his way out of this one. "Yeah, it's just that, uh... well I'm not exactly sure but I think the demon blood makes my blood black and thicker" he said, putting on a poker face as the back of his brain manufactured a quick and reasonable lie.

"Oh, ok!" she said, and in a blink she saw gone. A giant breath escaped Y/N's lungs as he began to walk to the door. '

How many more lies am I going to have to lock the door of Truth with?' he thought, trying to make him lying sound cool, but in the end it was just stupid. He walked out and bumped into Angel.

         "Woah, great now I got two people running into me" he said, flattening his suit.

"Sorry, wait who's the other person?" Y/N said, walking with Angel to the elevator.

"Well, she ran into my room and surprised me. She ran out with one of my fuckin' toys and dashed off" he said, peering under every possible thing she could hide under, and even banging the vents.

"Why did she take it?" the hybrid asked the spider, curious of why Nifty, heck anyone would take something of Angel's.

"She said it needed, 'cleaning'" he gestured with air quotations.

"Oh, I mean she dashed into my room earlier" Y/N said, pressing the elevator button, calling the lift.

"Did she catch you masturbating?" Angel asked, as the elevator doors opened.

"What? No!" Y/N said as he touched the Lobby button, the elevator getting ready to descend.

"Huh, must just be me. Anyway, I've got a 'lovely' day of work. Emphasize of love, to do so, see ya baby" he said, slapping Y/N on the butt. Y/N got frustrated as both exited the elevator, Y/N heading to the couch while Angel went out the large wooden doors.

      While on his phone, he heard noises coming from the kitchen. He ignored it, it sounding like Husk trying to make food when Charlie came out instead.
