Opposites attract

Plans

I'm not sure if Mephisto has a home to himself or if he has a room in the academy. In my story it's been established that he does have his own house so just go with it ok? It's a two story house by the way. Also, when I think of Mephisto, I think he can have whoever he wants. Whether it be male or female doesn't matter to him. If that offends anyone I apologize.

It was a beautiful cloudy day. The sun was being held back by the rain clouds and Aria loved it. She lay sprawled on the grass, amid all the flowers and closed her eyes. She enjoyed the breeze that caressed her as the sound of Amaimon's chewing was drowned out by Mephisto's ever creeping footsteps.

"Brother, do you mind giving Aria and I a moment alone?" Mephisto kindly smiled. Amaimon had to think about this for a second but then simply nodded. He needed to stock up on candy anyway.

The time demon sat down, cross-legged, next to Aria. She was now sitting as well. He remained quiet for the most part until Aria decided to break the awkward silence. "So, what's up?"

Mephisto let out a sigh of frustration. "Raphael came to see me yesterday. It seems Michael cannot be persuaded to let you live. He is intent on killing you." Aria was worried but what could she do? It's not like she could fight him. He would annihilate her. Michael is the strongest of all angels. There was no way she'd ever be able to stand up to him.

"I see." She softly muttered. 

Mephisto outstretched his legs and patted his lap. "Come here." She raised a brow at this. "Relax, I'm not going to molest you or anything." She scooted closer to him but did nothing else. Mephisto sighed again and pulled her down. He gently rested her head on his lap and she lay there a little stiff. She was confused as to why he was showing this kind of affection. Mephsito was normally cold and distant, when not being silly and absurd.

"I just want to enjoy time with my daughter, that's all." He softly spoke. Mephisto gazed unto the horizon, unable to look down at her. Aria closed her eyes and continued to enjoy the day. This was odd behavior for him but she didn't complain. She secretly enjoyed it.

'Daughter' she thought. Flattering. She'd never had a father figure before. The orphanage was run by women. Women who were anything but kind. She was so grateful that Mephisto had taken her away from that place. That horrid place. He gave her house and home, fed her and even offered her a proper education and all he asked from her was for the girl to become an Exorcist. Easy enough right? Suspiciously easy. 

Aria never really thought about why he saved her. She ended up settling with the excuse that she was an angel and for whatever reason, Mephisto wanted her powers. Or to use her for something. She was ok with that though. Because even though she didn't say it, she saw him as her father and for him and Amaimon, she would do anything. 

'Sariel.' Mephisto started to drift off into his thoughts. 'This is what you were protecting.' He was gently stroking Aria's curly raven locks as the girl drifted to sleep and he leaned his head back on a tree. 'This is what you left us for? Left me for.' How could he tell Aria that he was the one who wanted to kill her human mother? How could he tell her the truth? That he was jealous. Jealous that a human whore had taken the heart of someone he loved.

-.-.-.-.-.- Flashback -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Mephisto was no stranger to loving men and women. He really didn't prefer one or the other. It was all the same to him. If he fancied a woman one day he would have her and if he fancied a man the next, then he would have him too. However, it was always Sariel that made his heart flutter. It was Sariel that made him question himself.
