Not Even MC Would Save You

(Note: sadly this chapter does not include our beloved Reaper girl :(( )

‘There they are…’

Belphie watches as two figures approach his door. The bars separating them felt cruel as now he was just a few steps away from the one who had been haunting his dreams but he couldn't reach them at all.

He spoke to the human and convinced them to help him while the demon of his dreams (literally) stood back and leaned against the wall in a dark corner scrolling through their phone. Belphie wanted to talk to them instead of this human but if he wants to be free he has to do this first.

“Come back once you've earned Beelzebub's trust”

The human nodded before turning towards their friend so that they could go downstairs but Belphie stopped them.

“Actually I want to talk to your friend too”

“Oh sure I can wait-”

“Alone”

The human was hesitant- their friend was too but they put on a good act of being unbothered by it. He could see a slight concern in their gaze as they told the human to go first so no one would catch them sneaking around before the human left.

Now it's only him and the nameless demon he's been wanting to talk to for days.

“You know who I am, don't you?”

“I do”

Belphie tilted his head as a smile slowly formed on his face. His cheek leaning on the bars of the door while staring up at you with purple eyes filled with something you couldn't read.

“And are you going to tell the human?”

“I already did”

Belphie’s laugh was soft and airy as if the air around the two of you wasn't suffocating from the moment you were left alone with him.

“So you're here to ruin my plan? What are you, one of Lucifer’s dogs or something?”

“No.. I'm here on someone else's orders”

Lies. He doesn't know though. He doesn't need to know. You have to keep up your act. Y/N and Reader are not the same- at least in the eyes of everyone else. You can not-

“Shhh. Calm down”

“Huh?”

You blinked a few times and realized you were now sitting on the floor with your body pressed to the bars of Belphie's room. One of his arms managed to slip through the gaps and was hugging you awkwardly while his free hand was brushing your hair gently.

“You want me to be free, don't you?”

You nodded. It's not like you can say “no” and expect to still be alive when you're literally in his grasp. Belphie didn't ask the reason why you wanted him to be free and just accepted it with a smile.

“That means we have the same goal. You're quite brave to plot against the Avatar of Pride”

“I'm not plotting anything. I'm just following orders”

Belphie chuckled and you could feel the vibrations from where your body met his through the bars.

“Mmmhmm… I'd like to chat more but you seem tired. If you fell asleep here you might be found by Lucifer in the morning”

Belphie let go of you and you stood up from your position on the floor. You tidied your uniform before bidding goodnight to the seventh born and walking down the stairs to be met with MC who was waiting for you.
