Renegade AU (1)

(Discord Conversation between me and ShadowkissedAuRora )

So I've been thinking about an alternative AU where she chooses Die instead of Dark. So picture all of this. She still befriends Anti, and Dark still tries to study her, but he doesn't give Die the "King" work, which means he has little time to study her. In the meantime she decides to study Die since he was the first to speak with her and such. Die is like super about it , but he doesn't want to show his eagerness, he takes a bunch of notes on her. Now (Y/n) on the other hand, she at first devises a plan to lure Die into like a false friendship while studying him as well. And like she brings out this adventure/curiosity that he hasn't had in a while. BUT in doing so he's also leaving behind his duty as an elite member of the GOD, so Dark starts getting feisty with him. On top of that the complaints are piling up on Dark and he's under more pressure then ever before. Now Die notices this but also knows that (Y/n) has quite the mouth on her and one wrong word and Dark could literally (and accidentally) kill her. And one evening specifically Dark catches her in the library after hours, and he's pissed so he decides to punish her and in doing so he's also taking out other anger on her. Now Die, who's falling in love with her, feels like theres some kind of distress, and goes to check on her only to find out that she's fighting Dark. Die, now full of rage which doesn't happen often goes on a frenzy to find her. When he does he sees that she's barely dodging his attacks and is badly bruised and hurt. (bloody nose, cuts, just everything). He steps in and steps the fuck up against Dark. So much so that Anti has to come in and break the damn thing apart. Die and Dark both end up like super hurt. Die still stands tall though and takes care of (Y/n) who like feels super guilty that she or so she thinks caused such a big fight and like,

"You know you didn't -- well you shouldn't have helped me, I was doing just fine against him," (Y/n) looked away pulling her covers up a bit. 

Die smirked, "Your eyes said otherwise." 

"How did you know something was...wrong?" 

"I...kind of...felt it... in my chest...You weren't in your room and my instincts," He ran his fingers through his hair, "They just took over.. I saw him hit you. I lost control... I don't -- I don't want to loose you, (Y/n)..." 

She smiled at him, "You're not going to lose me. It'll take a lot more than some dumb king to knock me down. To keep me down." Her smile turned to a grim line. "You on the other hand..." Die looked up at her, "What about me?"

She stared at him, deep into his ocean blue eyes, "I know you don't want to lose me, but me? I can't lose you.." Her gaze shifted outside the window. "If I ever get out of here -- you and I -- I don't even know if I'll ever see you again.."

"You'd see me, don't worry. I'd make sure of it." He moved his seat closer to her bedside. "I'm a demon after all. There's land far beyond the castle walls. We can see each other --"

She looked at him, "We're from two different worlds, Die. If Dark found out you were leaving to see me -- you'd be dead where you stood." 

"Then I'd die a happy man." He reached out and held her hand. "If you were the last soul I ever saw, then I'd be honored for me memories to be passed on to you."

(Y/n) pulled away her hand in disgust. "Stop. Stop talking like that. No -- I won't -- I will not allow that."

"That's not up to you." He stated boldly. 

"I will do as I wish, and if I wish to see you than I'll do it. No matter the punishment." 

"I wont let Dark kill you." 

"Dark wont kill me."

"He'll kill you if he knows." She raised her voice.

"He wont know if I leave the castle Like I said--"

"Thats not what I'm talking about you idiot." Her voice rose over his.

He gave her a confused look.

"He'll kill you if he knows how I feel about you."

"How you feel -- (Y/n) he knows of our study."

"Thats not what I'm talking about." She turned away once more. Her face flushing red. "I was supposed to come to this castle, take that damn staff and get out of her. I wasn't supposed --" She paused, angry with herself. "I wasn't supposed to gain feelings for you. You're a demon. You don't care about me. I'm stuck in this god forsaken loop now. If I stay, I'll die here, and never see my family again. If I escape, then I'll never see you again" She yelled at him.

Die was taken back by her words. He wasn't sure what to say in that moment, but rather *show* her.

He took a deep breath and stood up. "(Y/n) are you familiar with the... De Uno Suo?"

"The Uno Dos what?"

He sighed. "Demon's need a host body in order to survive. In the early 2000s we would occupy out human and share the body with them. At the time of war we were able to separate their souls from these bodies. Leaving the demon's with their human bodies. The souls of the humans were stored away. But, when the De Uno Suo occurs demon's they get their own bodies. It's rare, and its frowned upon in our society but it happens."

Now curiosity struck her, "So what needs to happen, I don't understand."

Die sighed again, "De Uno Suo means 'Of Ones Own' in Latin, the way demons get their own body is falling in love with that of a human. The exact moment that it occurs the human body that the demon occupies separates and the demon has their own. It leaves a, well -- an unconscious, alive, but soulless body." Die made his way over to his closet. "Which brings me to my next point. If you scream, I'll be forced to silence you, understand?"

He walked into his closet and moved around some items. Within minutes he walked out with a person over his shoulder. Felix's *body*. He set the body down on a near by chair. (Y/n)'s eyes grew wide.

"Die -- What the fuck --"

"This is Felix's body. It's alive, but unconscious. Think of it as sleeping. His body's been in there...for a while now...I've been trying to figure out what to do with it.."

(Y/n) held her head. "What the fuck, Mors. You have a body -- in your closet?! And it's you? Kind of? I don't -- what kind of meds are you giving me? Is this some kind of joke?"

He walked back over to her side and sat down on the bed. "You didn't put it together I assume.."

"That you're batshit crazy and cloned yourself or something? What are you the next hitler? Are you going to make a Die army?"

"Oh my gosh you're dense..." He rolled his eyes. "(Y/n) I fell in love with a human. The De Uno Suo occurred with ME."

She paused, still not thinking straight, "How the hell -- out of all the years you've been here, do you only NOW fall in love with like a servant or whatever?"

Die didn't even speak at this point. He gave her an unenthused look until she figured it out herself.

"What?"

"You're supposed to be the next leader of the rebellion, huh? This is what we all have to fear?"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

He shook his head, "You can't even figure out that I fell in love with you."

Her eyes widened a bit, she felt a rush of adrenaline, then she felt like a dumb ass. "Me?"

"You."

"...me?"

"...you.."

"But I --"

"There's nothing to get.. It just happened.. I wasn't going to tell you, but since you were honest with me, I only thought it was fair."

She looked down at his hand that was resting on his leg. She slowly sat up and grabbed his arm, pulling his hand in her direction, placing it on her chest over her heart, "Well, I mean, I'm glad it wasn't some stupid servant."
