Obey Me! Shall We Date Oneshots

Sometimes Things Change

TW: fear of change, crying
Perspective: MC, first person

MC is gender neutral here and has a crippling fear of change.
I'll be honest folks, this isn't subtle in the slightest. I just needed to write a little self-insert to cope with the current changes in the fandom.

I enter Levi's room after he sent me a text to come quick, he said he has big news about a fandom we're both in.
"Come on, over here!" He waves me over to his computer and I see what's on his screen. A post from the creators of the game introducing new characters. My heart stops. "Isn't this so cool?! People are theorizing that this character-" he points to one of the silhouettes "-is actually who was being hinted at last chapter! There've been people datamining the game and leaking info about them too!" He clicks on another tab and shows me the supposed leaks. I grit my teeth.
"Are you sure this is real? These sprites look fanmade to me..." I subconsciously go to my accidental coping mechanism of calling change I don't like fake.
"I'm 99% sure this is real, multiple dataminers have been posting them and it matches the silhouettes perfectly." he says.
"Oh..." I pull my hands to my chest and feel tension form in my head. Why? Why do my comforts always have to change like this? Levi rattles on about the characters but I'm not paying attention. I don't want the game to change. I want everything to be like it's always been. Levi looks at me when he realizes I'm not listening.
"Hey, are you okay?" he asks, genuinely concerned. He's such a good friend.
"I-I'm sorry, I just-" Tears start to form in my eyes. "I need to go." I let out in barely a whisper and rush out of the room. Levi calls after me but I don't answer.

I go to my room and wrap myself in a blanket on my bed. The tears run down my face as I curl into a ball. This is so fucking stupid to get so upset over. Why am I so fragile that the smallest bit of change breaks me? I should be happy they're adding new things. At worst, I should just be a little annoyed. Not this. Not breaking down because an insignificant fictional world is changing and expanding. I'm so fucking dumb. I KNOW this isn't a big deal, so why is my throat closing up and my heart aching? I just can't handle change...

I hear the door to my room creak open and I pull my blanket farther over my head.
"Oh, honey..." a familiar voice says from across the room. Asmo's here. I stay silent. I feel him sit on the bed next to me and place a hand on my blanket-covered form. "Levi told me you ran out of his room crying. Glad he knows which one of us is better at cheering you up" he half-chuckles that last part. "Come on, love, let me see that beautiful face of yours" He reaches for my head a gently pulls the blanket back, I bury my face in the bed. He makes an unsatisfied sound and picks me up, being much stronger than me due to his demon strength.
"Noooooo..." I groan. He scoots back on my bed and sets us up so I'm leaning on him. He holds me close.
"What's wrong? Did Levi say something to upset you?" he speaks with a soft high-pitched voice, something I would've described as angelic before meeting actual angels.
"It's dumb" I mumble. He gently angles my chin upwards, moves my hair out of my face, and wipes some of my tears with his thumb.
"Anything that would make you cry isn't dumb. Tell me what's bothering you." He stares into my eyes so kindly.
"I... there's this story game that I really like and it's getting a new update soon and it's gonna add new characters and I really don't want any new characters. I just want things to stay the way they are" I rant. A few tears start to fall down my face again. Asmo frowns and holds me tighter, I hug him and bury my face in his chest.
"Are you sure this is about the game? It seems like maybe there's something more here" He supportively rubs my back. I take a deep breath.
"I don't know... this is just a problem I have. I hate change. I hate change so much. I just want everything close to me to stay the same" I feel my chest tighten as I let this out. Asmo sighs.
"It's okay, love. I get that this is hard for you. Change is hard and scary but I know you'll get through it. And when it comes to your game, I'm sure you'll think that this change was for the best once it's over" he speaks in a kind and calming tone. "I won't lie. Sometimes things change and we have to deal with it, but it doesn't mean the world is ending and it doesn't have to hurt you. Now I wish I could tell you that I'll never change but that would be a lie. We're all changing every day and that's not a bad thing. But do you wanna know the one thing that won't change?" He pauses as he looks down at me. I shake my head. "My love for you. I'll love you with all my heart forever and always. That can be your constant, okay? Sometimes things change, sometimes people change, but my love for you will never change" he says. My heart still aches a little, but mostly what I'm feeling now is joy and comfort.
"I love you so much" I look up at him. He smiles and cups my cheek
"I love you so much too" He kisses me. It's short and sweet but just what I needed. After he pulls away, we stare into each other's eyes for a moment.
"Can you stay with me tonight? I really wanna be in your arms longer..." I shyly ask. He giggles.
"Babe, you couldn't keep me away from you if you tried."
