Devil's POV:
I know I'm The Devil. I know I'm the force of evil. I know, I know, I know.
But I have a soft spot for my manager.
King Dice.
It's stupid. I'M stupid. Somebody that well of worth and fame couldn't love me. Or anybody, for that matter. He's hardworking, determined, and caught up in his fame. I want to tell him. No, I NEED to tell him. I don't know when. But I have an idea of how. Perhaps if he's drunk he'll be more open? Maybe not..but it's worth the risk. I know he's floozy. I know he's hooked up with people. I don't want to move fast in relationships. So how could I love a slutty Die-Headed man? I'm going to ask. I have to. I'll wait until he walks into my office telling me he's locked up the casino. I was staring at paperwork for what seemed like hours, which well- it was. But it felt longer. I heard Dice was in.
"Boss, the casino's l-"
"I love you, Dice."
He stared at me like I was crazy. I knew this would happen. But I kept going anyway! What's wrong with me?! I stand up, and walk over to him. What in the hell.
"Dice, I love you more than anything."
He was still silent.
"You- I-"
I kissed him. I kissed my fucking manager.
"DEVIL WHAT THE HELL?!" He backs away, turning purple from either being flustered or angry. I still don't know.
"I'm sorry for shouting, but I'm your manager. Not a- play thing."
"I wasn't using you as s-"
"Shut up. I know how this works. You don't care."
What had he been through before me? I wasn't going to use him. I love him. He's my best friend.
"Look, Boss, I wish I could. You'd never know the real me. Or understand it. You'd kick me out. Like he did."
"Dice, I truly love you. I've known you for six years. You're charming, and just- everything I've dreamed of."
He stared again.
Nothing. Just a blank stare.
He blinked. Then took a long inhale in, and a slow exhale out.
He held my hands. Looked me dead in the eye, then his eyes glowed green. He looked at me up and down and sighed.
"I'm trusting you. Please, don't break my heart.." He said, in a soft whisper.
"I would never dream of doing that."
Dice stared at the floor. I hugged him. I feel like he needed this after everything. I promised and reassured him I'd be the best I could be.
"I love you." I say, still holding his hands gently.
