Libidicus: The Fall of Lust

いち

'Libidicus'

He crawled out of the inky black portal that bubbled at his presence.

A pink demon, grayish black hair flowing down his back from a ponytail as he crawled along the ceiling to steady himself.

I'll never get used to that.

He giggled to himself as he shook his head to shake the dizziness from it.

Libbie. Come to me.

Libidicus jumped up from the  crawling position, falling face first into the large cavern that housed the home of Lilith, before fazing out of existence leaving a small pink mist in his wake.

He fazed back into existence at Lilith's door, smiling as he was greeted by her butler who looked ready to jump his bones. "Ya ya ya-" He said, swatting her away before walking up the staircase and onto Lilith's floor.

He slowly made his way down the hall, his hand absentmindedly tracing the panel molding that lined the maroon mansion walls. The smell of sex and incense filled the halls as he got closer to her room, memories of his childhood running through his head.

But his happy memories stopped when he opened her bedroom door. 

She smiled weakly at him, waving him over, "Come here, Love." Libidicus teared up at the sight of the woman who raised him. The only mother-type figure he's had after he was killed as a 6 year old because his mother didn't want her demon-human fuck trophy.

After crawling in bed, Libidicus lies with Lilith straddling him in a platonic cuddle session as he opened his mouth to feed her the souls he harvested. They spoke of all her past lovers whom she remembered, spending a lot of time on the last one. 

The one that made her the way she is now, weak, pathetic, and dying.

"Humans are bewildering creatures. And no matter how much we take from them they somehow thrive. Whether they don't die, that man in the clouds brings them back or they live on in each other's memories. We demonia don't get that, but I hope I live on in yours." She cupped his cheek.

"Humans are strong willed and stubborn beings, if you find yourself falling for a human, leave. Leave them and love them from a distance. Never get involved, they will hurt you in the worst ways possible. I'm known as Lust and no one ever believes we demonia can feel and have feelings, but we can and we definitely do. Libbie, I've never known love, until I met him... I know the feeling in my chest when I crush, the butterflies in my stomach, when I fall... The closest thing to love I ever felt was from a human."

Lilith paused, her heart heavy as she felt the hole in her stomach get worse as the poison spread through the last few inches of her being.

"I might've not birthed you, Libidicus, but you are like my son. I've raised you and you've taken care of me since my last lover attempted to kill me... But, I can't reward you in any other way. Please, stay safe. I love you, son."

A tear fell from her eye as she rested her forehead on his. 

Libidicus cried hard as he felt her getting lighter and lighter.

Lust turned into a mist the color of their skin, a pale pink, before he inhaled her essence.
