The Kind Devil (FemVergil x Male Reader)

Ch 2: Moment of Weakness

Y/N's Pov

Our little arrangement continued for some time. I learned more about the outside world, and I decided I wanted to leave if I could. 

We also had begun to develop a... Tension between us. We trusted each other less and less with every passing day, even as we learned more about the other. She was clearly looking for a weakness, and I did the same. I had caught her looking at me, but I wasn't sure enough to try to use that against her.

She had been rifling through everything I gave her. I still had plenty, but she seemed to be getting bored of them. Whatever she wanted to know, these weren't giving it to her. I had pointed her at the Order in the hopes she would go after them next, but I wasn't sure.

I got back one day and went to take a bath. When I came out she was sitting up on the bed.

Y/N: "What do you want?"

Vergilia: "You are smart enough to guess."

Y/N: "I don't see how sitting on my bed will get you more information on Sparda."

Vergilia: "Not that."

I needed to get it out. I had no intention to take any risks, but spending so much time around him was driving me crazy. I had tried my whole life to keep the urges in check, but it was a losing battle. Maybe giving in a bit would get it under control.

Y/N: "If not that, then what?" I couldn't tell if he was just uncertain, or if he wanted to force me to say it.

Vergilia: "Is this really so hard to tell?"

Y/N: "Just tell me why you're in my bed." I took off my coat, revealing at least some more skin. "I don't get it." If he continued with this, I was going to pounce him.

Vergilia: "Get in bed with me. Now." He looked surprised.

Y/N: "Where is this coming from?"

Vergilia: "I've seen you look at me. You want this just as much as I do."

Y/N: "I thought demons wouldn't feel those things about a human."

Vergilia: "My mother was a human." I was losing control. I had been intending to exploit this against him, but now he was turning it against me. I didn't even think before revealing that.

He looked at me. I felt all the years of suppression coming out at once and it was too distracting to try to read his body language properly. My human side was overpowering me.

Y/N: "No." How was he keeping it together? I felt like an animal.

Vergilia: "What?"

Y/N: "I still don't trust you."

Y/N's Pov

Now I had her right where I wanted her. I'd been looking for a weakness, and I had found it. She stood up.

Vergilia: "You know I'm stronger than you. Yet you stand here unafraid."

Y/N: "Because I'm not the one begging." Aside from that, I was also trying to make her cold, confident demeanor collapse. That made her more likely to slip up and reveal more without thinking. It made sense now. She was the child of Sparda, but she was also a human teenager.

I casually sat down at my desk. I felt my own body getting worked up, but unlike her, I could keep it in.

Vergilia: "Fine." She breathed out.

Y/N: "You don't look fine." I got up and walked over to the bed. I'd forced her to admit she was more vulnerable than she tried to be. She could break me like a toothpick, but after this she would be too afraid to try to double cross me, since she knew I had her wrapped around my finger.
