"he didn't tell you right?"

"no."

he nods slowly. "good"

there's a long silence. 

"why is it killing you," i whisper.

"you don't understand."

"help me."

he sighs. "it's confusing."

"i have all day."

"well, i was literally born to protect you."

i blink. 

"what?"

"we've been waiting for you for so long, y/n, you're special."

i shake my head.

"you heal people."

i furrow my eyebrows. 

"i thought you said i have no powers."

"sometimes i have to lie to keep you safe. but that's okay, i'm the devil. i already live in hell."

i shake my head and he nods.

"i'm already damned."
