Why do I love you? (Darkiplier x Reader)

17

I debated in whether or not I should tell Dark. Maybe I should... It could be something serious since it's happened two times... But then again it could also be nothing...

"The whole mansion was burning, a lot of people were dead, Burnt was ushering people out, Will was trying to force me to leave, Glitch and burnt- ...Are they dating?" I spoke in fast words except for the last question. Dark didn't speak and just blinked. So I continued talking, "Then I went into this room and you were there, and Poison was there... Her bones were going inhuman ways and cracking n' popping. And she talked about the King lying about his position and that he shouldn't have been lying and she-"

"The King lying?" Dark interrupted me. He pulled me away from him but still holding a firm grip on my shoulder. He looked at me trying to see if I was lying or not, seemed more like he's debating. He opened up his mouth to say something but he seemed closed his jaw soon after, deciding not to bring up his voice. He pulled me back into a hug again and just stayed there.

It was relaxing and nice. I felt my eyelids start to close again. "Where did you get the name 'Damien' from?" He questioned.

"What?" I asked, moving my face from his chest and looking up at him.

"In your sleep. You called out my name and other things. You also screamed 'Damien'." Dark explained.

Dark's real name is 'Damien' All demons have their 'real name'. What's the purpose of hiding their real name? All demons have their bad side, Really bad side. Their real name is the name you use to snap a demon out of what they're doing. It's like how you call for your dog, and as soon as you say their name, they come to you instantly. It's kinda like that. It's a word to make the Demon instantly fall to their knees, because of what I've read from some history textbooks in the library, demons were once slaves to humans, so only the masters knew the real name. I thought about all the records underneath us. My notes that has all the demon's real names on them and much more information that the demon themselves might not even know. He would probably get mad at me for snooping around and researching him and other demons when I'm not supposed to know any information.

"I-I don't know." I lied. He looked down at me, studying my features before I quickly dropped my head down and stared at my hands.

"You do know, (Y/N)." He said sternly. I felt myself tense slightly from him using my actual name instead of using the label 'Human' as usual. I decided not to say anything after that. Instead, I bit my lip and continued looking at my lap. He made a small hum sound before talking, "No, Glitch and Burnt are not dating. But I have heard rumors that Burnt has a small crush on Glitch, if you haven't noticed, she talks a lot about Glitch as if she's studied her for hours." He said. I nodded into his chest, thinking about Burnt happily sharing her information about Glitch when I first met her. Maybe that's why I thought they were dating in my dream? "And you said Will tried to force you out of the mansion because it was on fire?" He asked.

"Light and Will, both tried to force me out. The place was in flames, Dark. Completely coming down. There was a dead body every corner I turned, many demons I recognized." I explained. I felt myself tearing up slightly from the images that attacked my mind of all the red and black blood splatters on the walls. Dark softly rubbed my back and pulled me even closer to him to help me calm down.

"Do you know what killed all the demons and set the place on fire?" He asked.

"I don't know. I was going after Poison the first time, the second time, I was trying to save you." I mumbled the last part.

"Wait, a second time?" He asked.

"This is the second time I've had this nightmare. The first time, I had no idea it was a dream. It felt so real. I was determined to find poison, even though nobody even told me she was there, I just knew she was. I could somehow find her, and dilate where everything was and what was happening... It was so weird. Second time, everything was the same, so instead of talking with Will, I ran into the ballroom. This time, you weren't so close to death. I felt like I had a chance to save you. The first nightmare, I was killed. Second time, I was attacked by a black figure that held me captive then Will came and woke me up, even though it was you." I rambled. Dark sat there and listened intently.

"So I and Poison were fighting, and she said something about me lying about my place, then you tried to join the fight, but was held captive by a black figure, then Will came and woke you up?" He asked.

"In the second dream, yes." I answered. Dark dropped his head back as if he was having a hard time processing this, which I'm sure he is. I thought about how Dark kissed me in the dream. Should I say that part? "Y-You also ki-kissed me." I mumbled.

"W-What?" He asked.

"Nothing." I mumbled. He didn't say anything after that. My breath still has a quiver in it, so he gently ran his hands through my hair. I bit my lip before finally looking up at him, my eyes still teared. "Dark, are you the real king of all demons?" I asked. His face didn't change expression as he replied.

"No." He said in a forced manner. I let out a tiny sigh.

"Damien, are you the real king of all demons?" I asked. He can't lie with this card I'm pulling, although he might get pissed at me if I use it too much. His breath hitched at this question. He scooped his arms under my legs and moved me off his lap. I shivered and cringed slightly at the loss of heat from his torso. He laid me down at my normal position and pulled a blanket up before crawling up and laying beside me. He put his arm out, making me lift my head and use his arm as a pillow, I don't know if that's what he was trying to do, but just because I'm not sobbing anymore, doesn't mean I wanted to lose his contact. He pulled me closer to him and held me in a protective manner.

"Yes. I am the king. Now, stop using my real name." He said in a kinda annoyed way. I bit my lip in response. Maybe I pushed the line with that? He really isn't the one to be controlled or told orders to. "Stop biting your lip, i-" He started.

"It's a bad habit, I know."

"Yeah, it is. But I want you to stop so I can bite it for you." He said with a smirk. I felt my face go red in seconds.

"S-Shut up. Just g-go to s-sleep." I mumbled, my face getting redder by the second. He chuckled to himself before pulling me closer. "Goodnight Dark." I said with a small smile.

"Goodnight, (Y/N)." He replied. I closed my eyes with a smile and fell asleep. But had no nightmare.
