For Better Or Worse (Darkiplier x Reader) [Completed]

Second Chances

Should I let him explain? He kept me sane, should I really let that go? But he left me, why should I take him back in? Is some other demon really worth it?

I sighed, "You have five minutes." His words came out as fast as bullets, "(Y/n), I'm sorry I haven't come back. Anti started following me and I didn't want you to get hurt again. Lucifer found out about Anti and took him back Downstairs. I had to make sure he wouldn't come back. I haven't stopped thinking about you, or the kiss. But I thought you still were iffy about being around me so I decided to just keep my distance. But, the Big Man told me I was ruining your life by not coming back, so I came back." He paused for a moment, looking down at his hands which were now balled into fists. "I never meant to ruin you like this. And just knowing that I did makes me...I can't even put it into words. It just feels-" "Like the world stopped? Like every weight in existence is sitting on you? Like your soul is missing?" I interjected, knowing how he felt.

I slowly shifted my gaze up to his face, red tears of his own falling down his cheeks. He nodded, looking at me. "That's how I made you feel?" he asked, his voice cracking. I nodded slowly.

He held his head in his hands and continued to cry. Seeing him in pain hurt me in ways I couldn't explain or understand. Maybe I did care for him, I thought. I put my hand on his knee, "Dark..?" His head shot up, a small gleam of hope in his eyes. "I forgive you." He looked surprised, but relieved nonetheless.

"You make me a better person. You keep me sane, I feel safe around you. You make me smile, I don't remember the last time I did that." He managed to chuckle through his tears.

I scooted close to him and wiped away his tears. He smiled, and I did the same. "So," he said with a sniffle, "do I get a second chance?" I leaned in and kissed him sweetly, and he kissed back just as sweet.

When I pulled away he asked, "So that's a yes?" I smiled and nodded. "Thank you," he said.

We spent the next few hours getting to know each other more. Eventually, Dark stood up and extended his hand out to me. "Would you do me the honor of staying at my place tonight?" he asked. I smiled and took his hand. He pulled me up off the ground, one of my arms went around his neck while the other was on his chest. His arm snaked its way around my waist, his nose brushed against mine. We both kept constantly looking up and down between the other's lips and eyes.

"I would love to," I said. He smirked, I rolled my eyes just waiting for what he was going to do. Before I knew it he had picked me up bridal style yet again. "You're pretty romantic for a demon, aren't ya, puddin?" He smirked again, "Oh you don't know the half of it, baby."

In a matter of seconds we were in an abandoned house in the middle of the woods. Dark set me down, and I began walking around. It seemed like it was long abandoned, but everything inside looked so new.

I found my way upstairs and into a bedroom I assumed to be Dark's. The second I opened the door I was engulfed with his scent. That made me smile. I took off my shoes and laid down on his bed, hugging one of his many pillows to my chest, and I fell asleep.
