Game of Hearts

             A/N:  I just wrote this recently, another concept and whatnot, hope you all enjoy!

                            When it came to the will of one's heart, falling for another was easier for some than others, one could become obsessed with looks alone while others were played by words and actions. Both sides as well but for this time, it was a young woman who fell victim to the charming man that sought her for himself, things were normal at first. He was friendly, smiled and made her laugh, she worked for a living in a shop where he visited and would bring gifts like flowers or some lunch for the two to share. It was pure innocent fun, the girl was named Mika and the man was called Lou, she had no interest in others and this wasn't the first man to try for her affection but something about him was different.

He held an aura about him that spoke of a much older time, speaking proper and acted the gentleman, it flattered her when he would compliment her looks or smarts. She hadn't been one to be fooled so easily either but it was as if she was under a spell of sorts, she couldn't stop herself and soon he won her over. That charming demeanor turned once he had her beneath him, pinned by his strength as he would coax her body to desire his touch. Such emotions that flared throughout her form gave him delight in what he was doing, she was scared and yet didn't dare stop him from taking what he wanted. He was gentle at first, wiping her tears and planting kisses upon her form, each one flaring warmth throughout her body as she moans his name with her first release.

His chuckles made shivers run down her spine, when he claimed her for himself, her cries were like honey to him as he had his way with the deflowered maiden. Finding his own release after their long session, the two laid together in each other's arms, it was quite nice and made it feel as if she was floating. Something grew within her heart after that first time, she thought it love but would soon learn that nothing was as it seemed.

"Lou... does this mean, we're together?"  He would answer with anything she wanted to hear, making false promises and coming around with gifts to use and praise her to where he could have his way with her again and again. Before long, the game grew tiresome and Lou would become distant, Mika had never had such emotions like jealousy or desire, she felt as if she couldn't be without him for very long.

"I don't understand what I did but if you can tell me, I know I can change. I can be better," she sounded pathetic, it amused him to see her begging and at the same time disgusted him as he'd laugh at her attempts to persuade him.

"Mika, dear, it's unbecoming of a lady to throw herself at another. What we had was fleeting, don't let it go to your head. I'm off now, my time here upon the earth has grown short and you can return to your miserable mortal life seeking out a mate who would have you bare his kin." Turning on his heel, the man she once knew would turn into something she had no idea was even possible, he wasn't mortal at all.

The Devil stood before her, a being of darkness and corrupt desires, she had been used by someone like him and yet it didn't change the feelings she had for him. He raised a brow to step closer to grasp her chin,

"Do I not frighten you? Shouldn't you be wondering if I'm even human or not?" She gave a tender smile at the man she came to fall in love with,

"When it comes to relationships, no matter what you are, if I like you then that wouldn't change if you were some beggar. If I hated you, that wouldn't change if you were some kind of rich man. I love you... so it doesn't matter if you're human or not... Lou~" He felt something within himself, her words sparking a feeling he hadn't felt in ages, yet scoffing at her silly words to turn on his heel and leave either way.  She would reach a handout, calling for him, running to grab a hold of his arm to plead with the Devil to stay with her, and yet all he did was laugh and knock her away.
