Soul Bound [Obey Me! x Reader] [Soulmate AU]

Chapter 9: Resolve

MC didn't get it, Mammon was now avoiding them and keeping quiet more than well ever!

It didn't help that now they needed to defeat Levi without the help of their friend who watched all the Tales of the Seven Lord movies with them. They would now have to do this all on their own. It was so frustrating.

Besides getting some help from Simeon - the Actual Author of TSL - you knew that you atleast had an advantage. You hoped that the questions wouldn't be too hard..

Settling yourself into your desk chair, you page through the notebook that you filled with important information about TSL. You let out a soft sigh as your head rests onto your folded arms. "I'm too tired for this.." You mutter softly to yourself before you stood up.

You needed to sleep in your bed... Though before you could make your way to the bed, something on the ground caused you to trip over it, your body fell- chest first - into the bean bag that was located in the middle of the room after the movie night. You let out a small groan before looking to see what was left to make you fall.

You see the familiar green notebook that was bound to one of your soulmates. You roll your eyes partly, you use your foot to try and push it back to be under your bed. You were too tired to do anything.

Your eyes started to close, you should get to bed but... you couldn't really think about getting back up..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You felt horrible in the morning. Your back ached, you had bags under your eyes with the 2 hours of sleep you managed to get. You were struggling to keep your eyes open.

"MC Dear You look horrible..." You could hear Asmodeus tell you from across the table, you couldn't even answer if you wanted to, you were too tired to think about what you must say.

The morning continued with a few worried glances towards you, a few were ignoring you by doing their own thing and a very quiet Mammon.

As breakfast finished up, you were ready to head towards RAD, Although Mammon already disappeared from your sight. He was already going without you, that you had to end up travelling with Lucifer...

~~

The classes went by, worried Simeon and Luke checked up on you and tried to get you to rest when you could. Solomon teased a bit although he let you try and nap in whatever classes you had with him.

You could barely figure out what Barbatos signed to you that you even considered just accepting revealing that you could actually speak...

Now as you walk towards your final class of the day, you could see him. The demon who has been ignoring you all day, for the past few days! The demon you had a pact with. The demon who was meant to be caring for you.. You were too tired to continue this game.

Mc slammed their hands around Mammon, staring at the demon in front of them as he suddenly jumped at the sudden action a person did to him. He started to realise that it was Mc and what they were doing... They were pinning him to the wall, which seemed to affect the male more than the human at the realization.

"O-oi, human... What's the big idea?" Mammon comments as he looked away from them. It took him a moment to realize that he couldn't exactly figure out what they want to say to him if he was turned away from them. He slowly looked back over to see their tired eyes glaring towards him.

'Why are you ignoring me?!' Their mouth mouthed towards him. He avoided their gaze again.

"I wasn't ignoring ya! I was just..." He tried to come up with something before looking back towards MC.

MC's expression caused a small sting in his chest. Seeing the frustration mixed with what he can assume was sadness for his avoidance towards them.

"I-" Before he knew it, their arms stopped holding the wall and they fell against him, his arms moved fast to wrap around them, ensuring that they would not fall to the ground.

"Oi! Human I-" He noticed their eyes were closed, their breathing was soft as they were leaning against him with all their weight.

He knew they were tired when he had seen them that morning and when he saw the light in their room still on late during the night.. He let out a small sigh.

Were they worried about him? He didn't think so. It must have been a bad sleeping pattern before or somethin' ... Why would they worry about him.

His arm gently moved to scoop up their legs over his arm while his other arm was against their back as he carried them to find a place to rest.
~~~~~~~~~

Your eyes fluttered open after you were trying to reach your soulmate in your dreams - again waking up before seeing his face. Your head was resting ontop of your arms while a school blazer was laid across your body as an attempted blanket. You sat up a bit, rubbing your eyes as you notice you were laying on a bench that was right outside of the room where you were planned to go against Leviathan later for the TSL Tournament.

What the? You were a bit confused before glancing around a bit to notice Mammon was sitting right beside your prior sleeping body. He had his head resting on his hand as his elbow was on the arm rest. His eyes were closed seemingly resting as well.

His messy hair was partly in his face, little bit of drool escaping the corner of his mouth, his D.D.D was settled on his lap.

You watch him, you didn't know how long you did, but his eyes slowly opened to look to find yours.

"Ah-!!!" He jumped up a bit at seeing you awake and staring at him. He tried to fix himself before he spoke to you. "Oi Human I see ya finally woke up." His hands went on his hip as he avoided your eyes, a clear amount of blush settled on his face.

"Almost thought ya wouldn't wake up to do the tournament with Levi. You got lucky the Great Mammon was here to keep ya safe! So you better be thankful."

You look at him, he was back... He wasn't avoiding you. He was actually here chatting to you. You couldn't help but feel happy that he wasn't ignoring you. A small smile settled on your face.

You didn't know what this demon did to you that made you miss having him around. But... You weren't going to question it.

You smile towards him once he looked back at you. 'Thank you Mammon.'

He opened his mouth to say something yet it shut quickly before he continued. "Let's get going before you get disqualified or somethin' for being late." He pushes you gently towards the entrance.

You were now ready. Decently Rested. Overflowing with TSL Knowledge. And now with your friend at your side.

You could do this. You would win.
