Masks (A Mephisto Pheles/ Rin Okumura x female reader)

Chapter 4 (A Trip to Get Away) Part 2:

As the car inched forward, so began their trip. A song over the radio played as they rode out on the streets of True Cross Town. The entire time, he held an arm around her protectively. His eyes wandered to the window every so often. It was interesting to him how a town that once was overrun by criminals and the homeless, turned with time into a richer town with newer buildings and higher end shops.

There was a lot to see being alive for thousands of years like him. Things were always changing. Even y/n.

She noticed he seemed quieter as he stared out the window in thought. He almost looked troubled. It made her wonder if something was making him upset. She wanted to make sure he was ok.

"Are you alright?" She asked. He looked at her now and smiled. "I'm fine, darling." He told her. It was just a thought he had. She was different now. But that was for the best. Trying to forget his thoughts, he kissed her making her purr. He ran his fingers through her hair, staring down at her in a loving way. She smiled back feeling like she only ever needed his touch. It was a strange feeling. It was a powerful love.

As the car ride went on, he poured them each something to drink. They both drank a fruit tea from the frequently stocked bar. It was often that his servants stocked and rotated the things within the bar to insure their freshness. It always insured that drinks were flavourful and food wasn't spoiled.

Laughing and talking some more the entire way, they finally found that they'd made it to their destination. The True Cross District Mall was bustling with crowds and vehicles all trying to make their way into the mall. As the limo pulled into a halt at the entrance of the mall, all eyes looked on with interest as to who would emerge from inside.

Belial got out of the car swiftly, opening it with a bow for his king. "Your destination, sir." He announced. All eyes watched carefully as the couple emerged. The judgemental eyes of the crowd didn't bother Mephisto as he walked with y/n into the building. However, she couldn't help but feel a bit insecure and nervous. She pondered what those eyes thought of them. Many recognized the millionaire who owned the famous True Cross Academy after all. Yet, the thought soon passed as they walked through the double doors of the building.

Inside was an impressive sight. In the main corridor was a fountain lined on each side with a pair of escalators. Shops littered every space on either side of the walls while smaller shops offered merchandise through small carts set up within the middle of the halls. She stared on with a sense of overwhelming excitement. Their were an overwhelming amount of shops to explore.

"So?" He began. "Where would you like to go first?"

Not wasting time, she wandered into multiple different clothing stores until she found one that offered multiple styles she liked. The store was called Fragile Beauty. She had never heard of the place before. It seemed that it was a local business testing the waters within the walls of the mall. It seemed to sell high end brands with multiple different mahicans modelling multiple different styles.

She was quick to begin rummaging through the clothing racks. The click of hangers rang out into the store as she and other people looked through the racks and racks of clothing. He to found himself rummaging through the racks looking at cute things he would like to see her in.

"Oh darling, you have to try this one! Oh! And this one! This one as well. Ah this one is stunning!"

She found herself in a stale mate with him. She couldn't keep up with his speed as he sorted through the entire stores line of clothing at an inhuman pace. A pile began to form in her shopping basket filled with an excessive amount of his choices versus a small few of hers. She laughed as the pile began to turn into a leaning tower of silk.
