Deals. They're what makes the world go round. Most of the time they're highly beneficial. Others can royally screw someone over. So what happens when a desperate man makes one with a rather shady character? Will he get what he wants? Or will he only...
Y/N's eyes slightly widen at the sudden appearance of the figure before him.

Y/N: "Who the hell are you?"
???: "Nobody important."
He lightly swirls his shot of liquor.
???: "I must admit. Booze is among the few good things humans created."
Y/N: "You do realize halloween isn't for another six months right?"
The figure chuckles.
???: "Funny."
Y/N; "Why're you here?"
???: "I was just passing by when I couldn't help but overhear your plight. Leukemia. That's a terrible thing to have. This must be tearing you up."
Y/N: "You ain't wrong. I just don't get it. Why her? What'd she do to deserve this?"
???: "That's what everyone asks. What did we do to deserve our fate? But you know what no one ever asks? What can we do to fix it?"
Y/N: "Probably because once things are set in stone they can't ever be changed."
He sighs looking at the time.
Y/N: "Well can't say this was a normal encounter but I must be going."
He begins walking away.
???: "I can help her."
Y/N stops dead in his tracks. He then looks over his shoulder.
Y/N: "What'd you say?"
???: "Your wife. I can help her."
Y/N: "Bullshit."
???: "I can assure you. There's no bullshit. I can help her. Hell I can even cure her."
Y/N walks back to the stranger.
Y/N: "Prove it."
???: "I will. But know that these things don't come cheap."
Y/N: "Ah, I get it now. This' a scam. You promise a miracle in exchange for money. Then after I've given you all my money you give me snake oil and split town."
???: "Normally that's how it'd be down. But unlike those posers, I deliver on my miracles."
Y/N: "Oh really?"
He looks around. He then smiles seeing a man with the left side of his face severely drooping.
Y/N: "You. What's wrong with you?"
Man: *slurred* "Severe stroke. Doc said I'll be like this for life."
Y/N looks back at the stranger.
Y/N: "Fix him."
The strange man raises their hand and flicks their finger. As if by magic the man's face is fixed. The figure turns back to Y/N who's eyes are wide in shock.
???: "Believe me now?"
Y/N: "Who are you?"
???: "Someone who cure your wife. You want that, don't you?"
Y/N: "All I want is to be able to spend the rest of my life with her."
???: "And I can give you that."
A leather bound scroll magically appears on the counter. It unfolds itself allowing Y/N to read it.
???: "All you have you do is sign your name."
Y/N: "I don't know if I can do that."
???: "Well. It's either do it. Or watch as the woman you love dies in front of you. Tell me, is that something you wanna go through again? Isn't once enough?"
Y/N looks at the contract, deep in contemplation. The figure then places a quill on the scroll.
???: "Sign it. You know you want to."
Y/N picks up the feather. But even still he hesitates.
???: "Go on Y/N. Sign the contract. Do it and you'll be free to spend the rest of your life with your wife."
Delaying as long as he can he ultimately signs the contract. Upon finishing his signature the contract goes up in flames.
???: "Pleasure doin business with you."
Y/N: "And you're sure this'll-"
He turns only to not see the figure anywhere. All of sudden a ringing is heard. Y/N pulls out his scroll.
