Y/N gets more than she bargained for when getting to know the mystery creature that's been living in her shop silently for the past few years. She never would've imagined the sort of adventure he would lead her to, nor did she expected to be close w...

"Are you sure you can't come with?" Y/N's expression of disappointment was a knife to the gut, but unfortunately, Phil had to nod his head, a look of apology written across all four of his eyes. The demon set his large hands on top of her shoulders and glided them down the length of her arm to her elbows then back up again in a comforting rub as he lowered himself closer to her. Her muscles had tensed instinctively before easing under his touch as she stared into his eyes.
"I'm really sorry. I had hoped to have it all ready by now, but the ceremony is tomorrow, and I still have some last-minute things to take care of. I want it to be perfect for you." Smiling softly, he brushed the backs of his fingers against the woman's cheek, feeling warmed by the fact that, by the next day, she would he his for the rest of eternity. The preparations had been long and tiring in themself, between getting the decor together, making the clothes, teaching Y/N the steps she had to follow along with the occasional dance lesson to help her feel steady on her feet. He too had a great many things to learn about the event and was tasked with inviting the witnesses and hand-selecting the group of servants who would put everything together. Out of everything, picking the menu for the reception was probably the easiest thing of all. There was still much to do before the big day, however, and time was much shorter than he thought.
"But what if something happens? Besides, I wanted to have some fun with you. We both deserve it after all this stress we've been through. Should I just call it off?" Phil chuckled at her worries and shook his head before planting his lips gently to the center of her forehead.
"Nothing will happen. Luther will be there to keep an eye on things for me. I can't much speak for the others, since they can get lost in a good party, but I'm sure they wouldn't let you get hurt either. My brother knows to tread lightly. I was sure to give him an extra warning this morning. Go have fun, Y/N. You deserve to let loose more than I do." With the tilt of her head, Y/N sighed, not believing that to be true. He was exhausted, just knew how to hide it well. Not well enough for her, though. Knowing there was no point in arguing about it, however, she pushed a little smile to her lips. It must be important if he has to go do it.
"Okay. I'll have enough fun for the both of us tonight," she jokes, making him smile as well. Leaning over towards her ear, he whispers in a low and breathy voice,
"I love you." Her face flushed as his lips touched her ear and cheek, but as she went to say it back, there was a knock on the door. "They're here," he announces after giving a light sniff, standing up straight before hooking a finger underneath Y/N's chin. "I'll try to wrap it up quickly. If I'm lucky, I might be able to catch the tail end of the night."
