Enchanted Romance

Confessing

Okay, so this will probably be the last chapter, unless you all want more, but keep in mind that I am working on another story. This other story will follow this one as a sequel of sorts (there will likely be many, I will tell when the fic is supposed to take place in the timeline in the description). I hpe to get the first chapter up to today, as well as a title thought of. Just be looking for my name under the story.

Now, on with the fic!

"Oh Luci, we could never- wait, what did you just call us? Did you just call us your soulmates?!" Bean said, startled.

"Uh-um, no?" He said, meekly.

"Oh my God Luci! WHAT THE HELL! Since when did that happen!?" Bean said, angry, confused, hurt, and for some reason hopeful, at the same time.

"Ok, yes, you are my soulmates." He said, ashamed.

"But you're a demon." Elfo said.

"Demons have souls Elfo." Luci said, slightly offended, "In fact, almost all demons have soulmates, usually it's just one, but I've heard of a demon who had eight soulmates." he continued.

"So, what exactly is a soulmate for a demon?" Bean asked.

"A soulmate for a demon is their match, who they are compatible with. It's their reprieve from the endless torment of hell, their light in the dark. A demon's mate is their world, their love. Their eternal love. Demons are instinctively drawn to their mates. Most demons take about four hundred to five hundred years to find theirs." the demon said with a dreamy smile, which quickly turned into a frown as he continued, "Unfortunately, some demons take much longer to find their soulmates than others, up to a thousand years, some demos die before they get the chance to find their soulmate. Some demons don't even have one. It has been so long, I thought I didn't have one, but it turns out I have two."

"How long have you been looking?" Elfo asked.

"A little over twelve hundred years." the demon said, looking down, suddenly finding the blanket he was laying on very interesting. He was lost in thought, hoping and praying that they wouldn't reject him, he didn't even realize that he had been thinking out loud until Bean spoke.

"What's that about rejecting you?" she said.

Suddenly, Luci's cheeks showed what the princess and the elf could only assume was a blush. He really didn't want to have to ask, but now that they knew, he knew he had to ask them. he could only hope that they felt the same as he did.

"Well, I suppose now is as good a time as any to ask," he said.

"Ask what?" Elfo asked.

"Ask if you two felt the same, and if you would be my mates." he said, refusing to make eye contact.

To say Bean and Elfo were shocked would be an understatement. They were both silent from the shock. Luci assumed the silence to be a no.

"I knew this would end badly." he said sadly, curling up like a cat to hide his face.

"Wait!" the princess and the elf yelled in unison, causing Luci to look up at them, tears already in his eyes.

"I didn't mean to make you think that, I was just surprised, that's all." Bean said apologetically.

"Yeah, me too." said Elfo.

"Then what were you-" Luci began, but he was cut off by the other two, "YES!" 

"What?" the demon said confused. Could this really be happening?

"I've loved you and Bean, for a while." Elfo said, "So yes, I will be your mate."

"Me too!" yelled Bean, "I've loved you both for a while."

Now it was Luci's turn to be shocked. 

"Really?" the demon said hopefully.

"Yes,"

The three decided it was probably time for bed, they had been through a lot. They curled up together with Bean on one side, her arm around the Elfo and Luci, Elfo on the other side, with an arm around Luci and a hand grasping Bean's shirt, and Luci in the middle, purring happily in his sleep whilst enjoying the warmth and comfort he got from cuddling his soulmates. For once, no one was in the 'friend zone'.
