Mammon groaned. Lucifer had taken Goldie away again. Though he was devastated, he knew that he shouldn't have messed with Lucifer's paperwork, but he did anyways. It wasn't even his fault, or so he tried to convince himself, but deep down, he knew he was wrong.

"Siiiiiigggggghhhhhhh..."

You felt bad for him. I mean sure, he was greedy and a bit cheap, but that was in his nature, and you couldn't change that. So in an effort to cheer him up, you decided to take him out for a meal to the new restaurant that opened a few weeks ago.

"Hey Mammon..."

"Hmmm?" He looked at you inquisitively.

"Wanna come with me to the new restaurant? I'm paying..."

As soon as the word 'pay' left your lips, he jumped up and said-

"Of course you'd wanna treat the Great Mammon. Yeah, I would like that... But, only cause you asked... Not cause uhmmm I... I..." He mumbled the last part and flushed a bit, looking away from you, as you laughed at the demon who was so hopelessly in love with you.

"Great! Then it's settled. Tonight, 8:00 p.m. Be ready."

Soon, it was 7:00, and you decided to start changing. Makeup and hair would have to come later. You had an inkling about his style and what he was gonna wear, so you had chosen your outfit accordingly.

You heard a sharp knock on your door, and rushed to open it.

Mammon stepped in, wearing a suit and tie that he looked great in, but also, his white sneakers and his sunglasses, a huge grin on his face, which abruptly stopped, as he saw you.

"Wow." He said clearly blown away.

"Oh shit." He said, clearly not meant to have said 'wow' in the first place.

"Awww thanks, you look good... So shall we go."

"Yep."

As you made your way down to the restaurant, you and Mammon chatted about all kinds of things, mostly, he ranted about how Lucifer was mean and how Levi wouldn't lend him money for a tiny little purchase.

You just giggled and listened, thinking how could demons be this cute and sweet.

"Hello, do you have a reservation?"

"Yes, table for two, under L/N."

"Yes, right this way."

You followed the lady to your table, right in the middle of the huge room. As you both sat down, the waitress brought the menus and you started chatting and laughing, like you did when in the house.

There was something different about this place. This made you feel things. The same feelings that Mammon felt towards you.

As you observed the others, you could see that most of them were couples, and wondered why. Then, it struck you. This place had a couples special going on.

Slowly, an idea formed in your mind.

"Hey, Mammon..."

"Yeah?"

"You know why there are so many couples around us?"

"Uh no?" He said clearly confused as to where this was going.

"It's cause, they have a couple's special, where, you get free dessert if you've been proposed to in this restaurant, and one entreé free if it's your marriage anniversary."

"Oh. Oh!" He said, catching hold of your plan.

"Why not get free yummy dessert? It's brownies and ice cream today." You smirked, looking at him.

He blushed and nodded a yes, quickly, slipping off one of his rings, and kneeling down beside you.

Your heart beat fast. Even though you knew that this was fake, just looking at his face, made you realise, how much he wanted this.

"Will you marry me Y/N?" As soon as the words left his lips, you said-

"Yes!"

All eyes were on the both of you, as the waitress smiled at you, and brought you your free dessert.

Both you, and Mammon were blushing now, unable to look each other in the eyes.

The dessert was sweet. Much like what you were feeling now. As much as this was planned and fake, you wanted it to be spontaneous and real.

As you walked out of the restaurant, and headed back, you whispered in his ears, something that he would remember for the rest of eternity.

"You know, I wouldn't mind, if you meant what you said back there."
