Trapped with the Stache

Chapter 3

   Y/n had taken turns dancing with all the boys, although Crank didn't really know how to dance. She didn't either, she would just follow the man's footsteps, but since Crank wasn't a very good lead they just ended up dancing around like goofballs. It was still rather cold outside when she began dancing with Dark again, the music was still slow and sweet. Wilford had withdrawn to his room some time ago, most likely to sleep, and Crank had waited a few minutes before following suit. Dark and Y/n had been dancing slowly for around half an hour when she looked up at him and said, "we should go inside...I'm really cold. I can't feel my nose." She giggled when Dark leaned down and placed several small kissed on her nose. He took her hand gently and led her back into the house and up the stairs, but when she tried to open the door to Wilford's room, Dark pulled her hand away.
   "I think we should spend the night together. However you want the night to end, so it shall end," he said with a contented smile. Y/n nodded her head softly, beginning to think of ways to end the night. Admittedly, she wasn't disturbed at the thought of spending the night awake, but the thought of just lying in bed cuddling up to the man she was allowed to now love seemed like a much more fun way to end the night. Turning her head to look at Dark as he closed the door, she let her tired voice ring out through the room, "Dark...as much fun as screwing you sounds, I sincerely hope you don't mind if I just want to spend time with you. Innocently," she added before he could he say something snarky. Dark seemed calm as he nodded and hung up his jacket, gazing lovingly over to Y/n.
   "Why would I mind such a request? Yes, I will admit the thought of fucking you all night does make me happy, but so does spending quality time with you. I am...well, we are free to express our feelings with each other now, so I see no harm in spending innocent time with you, Y/n." The smile on her face told Dark that she was relieved and happy to hear him say such a thing. As Dark began to walk towards his closet while unbuttoning his shirt, Y/n couldn't help but feel like this was all moving too quickly. She had been kidnapped, had her family led to believe she was dead, she was raped, beaten, and nearly killed, all within two and half short years. Why had feelings for Dark sprung up so quickly? Where did they come from and why was Dark reciprocating them? He was supposed to be a demon, a very powerful one, but he seemed to be completely willing to give his power for her. She must have been standing completely still for some time, for Dark grabbed her arms gently and shook her.
   "Y/n? Darling, why are you thinking so hard? What has your mind so worked up on a night like this?" His voice was soft, but full of concern. Y/n looked up at him and smiled softly, fakely, before swallowing hard and looking to her feet in nervousness.
   "Darkiplier...I'm just thinking about how weird everything has been. I was kidnapped, my family thinks I'm dead, I was raped, tortured, nearly killed, and had demon blood mixed with mine without any knowledge of what it would do...and now here I stand, willingly in the middle of your bedroom, filled with love and respect for you. My feelings are reciprocated, but why? Why is this all happening? I should be angry, scared, trying to escape, or even trying to kill myself! Why do I stand here, feeling safe?" By the end of her speech, Y/n was completely in tears, and trying to push Dark away as he tried to bring her closer to him for a hug. He sighed heavily and looked at her with eyes that seemed to be scared, although they only appeared as such for a short time.
   "Darling, sit down please. I suppose I really shouldn't keep this from you forever, especially now that we are together," he sat with her on his bed, gently holding her hands and trying to make eye contact with her. When he realized that she would not look up at him, he sighed once more and continued. "There is so much I have to explain to you, and I hope you can understand it all. In the beginning of time, there of course was God. He made his children, the angels, and the first in creation was Lucifer. Then Gabriel, Uriel, Samandriel, and others. Well, the angels loved their father unconditionally, and he loved them just as much. One day, he decided to fill Earth with humans and animals, without speaking to his sons and daughters about it first. He told them 'These things here, humans, love them more than me. Protect them, help them, and cherish them more than me. They are your future siblings, and I love them as much as I love you.'
   "Some of the angels were fine with this. If their wonderful father said to love and protect these creatures, so be it. But Lucifer, and a few others, thought that these humans were a waste of God's power and love. To Lucifer, the humans were puny and dumb, hateful and corrupt animals. He could wipe them out without any effort, but he didn't. Instead, he decided to speak to his father about these humans. They had a long and heavy discussion about the existence of humans, until Lucifer said something about getting rid of them, erasing their existence. God was angry, and sad. He loved his son, he loved his humans, but he could not let Lucifer go through with destroying them. He intended to punish Lucifer by banishing him down with the humans to see how they struggle, to see how some looked at God with love and respect, and how others refused to believe. But Lucifer was too strong, and he pushed himself further, into the empty depths of hell where he stayed, becoming the lord of demons. Demons were the bad humans who didn't belong in heaven, and he convinced them that he needed their help to rejoin his father. Well, since demons were created from humans, they weren't very powerful. Lucifer noticed that, with the right opportunities, two humans would get together and stay together, for their entire lives. Some laid togther and bore new humans, some never did. Some died alone, and some were buried in the same coffin upon their deaths. Lucifer decided that if a male demon was to be, he could have a female counterpart, or a male counterpart if they so desired. He decided the same thing with female demons.
   "Basically, he decided every demon should have a soul mate, someone to double their power and share an eternal life with. As a human, my name was Damien Arious, and I died alone, never married. I never had any children. Those who were like me were still given soul mates, but they had to search for them. In past life times, present life times, or future life times, they had to travel and find their soul mate. When a demon crosses paths with his soul mate, his mind is cleared and he always feels safe...so does the counterpart. The day we met, that immeasurable flooding of fear you felt before the sudden calm, that was all the pain and fear in your life leaving you. I felt the same thing, the same calm, and that's why I wanted you here as soon as possible. We are destined for each other. I know this all sounds so story book, so dumb and cliche, but I am telling you the truth. The reason for me telling you now is because I want us to be together...happily, forever. I want us to bond our souls...don't you want the same?" Dark looked at her with pleading eyes, and smiled slightly as she looked up at him.
   "Dark...I love you, I do. I'm still really confused, and kind of...happy, I suppose. Please just give me some time and I'll be able to give you my answer." Her voice was soft and tired, and Dark argued no more. He gently placed his cold lips against her forehead and hung her coat and placed her shoes in the closet. He lay next to her in bed, both silent but smiling at each other, and they cuddled as close together as they possibly could.
