Chapter title...
damon's face turned pale. "oh my gosh you killed me. i'm in hell!?!??!" it didn't look anything like hell, but this being brought them here so who can fucking tell what's real anymore.
the boy laughed, "no! no! you're not dead. i mean, unless you want to die. you have to trust me." damon felt mad uneasy.
"this is what i thought hell would look like,,,"
"yeah this is the nicer part of hell. 21st century white people suburban neighborhoods! cause i mean. suburban white people are the ones who end up here the most" he looked at the 4th wall. he looked back at damon with a smile. "oh! i never introduced myself. i'm satan!"
damon's jaw hit the floor. "YOU'RE SATAN"
"nah i'm just fucking with you. my DAD is satan. i'm the prince of hell, benvolio. call me ben. you can also call me satan if you wish" he leaned in so slightly. damon locked eyes with him and nodded.
"o. okay. satan- I MEAN. ben. ben. you're ben" damon wept
ben smiled. "i could give you a tour. i mean you're gonna be staying here so-"
damon stopped and looked up at him. hello height difference. "wait im not going back home!?"
ben stared at them incredulously. "back to the fucking 1800s? what a shitty time to live." he gave a knowing laugh. "funny. i know all things, you see. and in the future, you're going to be like. obsessed with the 1800s. why are you so attracted to victorian era men. it makes no damn sense but. OH YEAH." ben grabbed them and snapped his fingers. they teleported again. they arrived in a weird room
there was this huge glass pane on the wall and a contraption that damon didn't understand in the center of the room. "you have to die. BUT YOULL BE REINCARNATED. YOU'LL BE BORN AROUND THE 2000s???"
damon stepped up and braced to die. man. willing to die just like that huh. nothing happened. that's strang- they opened their eyes and saw ben staring at them in shock and awe. "you.... you're.,,,"
damon looked down and yodeled. they looked like a not-really-biblically-accurate angel. "YOU KILLED ME"
"no actually. what the fuck. you became your true self???? or something i dunno"
"cool"
"so like. i wanna be reincarnated i think. because the earth is so beautiful and i wanna be there again an-"
ben slapped a hand over their mouth. "OK ANGEL WE GET IT. YOURE AN ANGEL. i'll let you go under one condition"
damon turned to look at him. "wha?"
ben pulled them in and kissed their cheek. he quickly pulled away. his lip was bleeding. "fucking pure angel. burning my skin,,,, fuck."
flustered, damon took a step backward, trying to protect ben from themself. ",,,, under one condition,,?"
ben glared at them with a look that damon didn't understand. he licked his lips and smirked. "you come back to me, angel. it's been so long since i've had real company. and i'm deadass mad lonely down here. no friends. my dad fucking sucks,,, you,,, you can be my friend. i originally came to your home just to eat. but i noticed you one day. you were different. i began i guess,,, stalking you? and im sorry if i scared you but. im fucking bad at making friends."
damon smiled innocently. "sure! i'll be your friend! if you come to me in my next life, i'll be your friend! i dont have any friends either. this could be fun"
ben nodded slowly. "mhm. can you hang around before you go? i gotta teach you how to navigate hell for when you come back"
