Wrong things (Matthew x reader)

Chapter 5: Zecaeru

You sat there trying to think but your brain was failing you, until matthew chuckled and then moved back into his prior place. "Your reaction was priceless, you just sat there like I ate Simon or something, confused." He laughed. You laughed a little nodding awkwardly.

"He's gonna hate you." The voice said. "You're too shy, you just don't have enough energy and happiness for him, he'll get tired of you."

"......" you went quiet. You didn't like the things the voice was saying now, it didn't make you feel well.

Simon hopped onto your stomach and jumped a few times. "Is something wrong y/n?" Matthew asked seeming to catch what Simon was doing.

"She only talks when I'm thinking about something, something like you, or Malix attacking me, or..." you wrapped your arms around yourself gently. "Or when things aren't doing so well within the house, like fights between you and your brothers."

"Well, I'm not going anywhere, even if they leave I'll stay until you feel safe by yourself." He chuckled hugging his knees to his chest.

"That might be a while." You sighed. "What if I make you mad?"

"There is plenty of room in this house, we could spend a whole day in the house together and never see each other." Matthew smiled. "I promise that I won't leave you alone until your safety is ensured, and even then you can always call me back."

"Zecaeru." You mumbled.

"I need you to stop that though." He laughed awkwardly. You noticed his eyes had flashed a bright yellow for just a second before returning back to their usual color. "For me and many other demons, our names summon us, which is one of the reasons we go by nicknames, another is that no one uses a demons name typically except their parents and lovers and even parents use it sparingly, it's typically just lovers."

"Why though?" You asked pressing for an answer.

"Um, I don't actually know, I just know that it feels weird when people use my name a lot, like embarrassing?" He said.

"Bull shit." You heard a tiny whisper.

"Stop eavesdropping, I'm gonna murder him." Matthew went to get up and you followed him calmly. You laughed as you saw Damien and Sam running away. "Correction, them, I'm going to murder them."

"Are you feeling a little bit better?" You asked gently.

"Yeah, thank you, the stupid hard boiled egg distracted me, I don't know how that worked." He blinked a few times. "Come help me kill my brothers."

"Okay." You laughed a bit as you followed him. He found Damien first and after Damien apologized profusely and ratted out where Sam was hiding he was let go, and then Matthew hit Sam with a frying pan. You were laughing so hard that your stomach hurt.

"Stop beating each other you two." James sighed. "Y/n, you're encouraging it!"

"It's funny." You laughed breathlessly wiping a tear from your eye.

"Ooooooooh." Sam laughed as he stared at Matthew who currently had him trapped against the ground. Matthew got closer to the ground and quietly said something to Sam that left Sam laying on the floor speechless. Damien looked startled too.
