Show me your smile [Beelzemon x Reader]

27: Let there be light

You're being chased by some monster. It's scary. You try running away but it won't help. It keeps reaching you. It almost has you when you hear a lighter clank. The smell of leather, cigarettes and gasoline feels familiar. Everything turns to black and you feel like a strong arm is wrapping around you. "Beelzemon?" you ask, looking around in the darkness. "I'm right here, don't worry" his voice speaks like he was whispering into your ear. You hear his breath and it's accompanied with a short sizzle sound from time to time. You keep looking around. "Where are you?" You hear him sigh and feel the arm around you lift you a bit before a pair of lips press against the pair of yours. You lean against the feeling and result in a deeper kiss. It tastes like cigarette, but good, like he usually does.

After pulling back you open your eyes, realising you were laying on him. "See? I'm right 'ere, why the worry?" You blush and look at him. He's smoking. Or at least has smoked a few for the stumps on the ashtray on his bedside table. "You're smoking.. I didn't know you did that" you say. He looks away. "Well it's just an old skeleton in the closet. Helps me gather my thoughts." "So you drink, smoke, pee off the tower's roof, don't take things seriously and kiss girls when they're defenseless. What a great demon lord you are" you laugh at him. "For my defense, I was pretty sure ya ain't sleeping when I kissed ya but whatever" he says, blushing. "At least I brought you back" he continues before taking one more breath out of the cigarette and stubbing it out.

"So I thought over a couple things. Since we both got back to our senses after kissing and shit I guess that we could overcome that asshole pretty easily, just with the two of us together. Just don't let the night get to us, right?" he starts. "You mean the favor of Love?" you ask. "Right. Let's make that little fart regret ever tryna make ya doubt me" he says with a determined tone in his voice.

He walks back up with you, smashing the door above open. You stand there with him, looking around you to spot Leliel. He spots it, grabbing your hand tight. "S-so... you're back..." it says with a meek, androgynous voice. He spits to the side. "Yer power ain't workin' anymore" he says, holding your hand tight. You remove your hand from the grasp and hug him from the side. "Yeah. Try all you want" you say. Leliel is taken aback before it releases a dark-hued cloud of energy, having it envelop you two. The surrounding turn dark enough so that neither of you can see.

After a moment the surroundings clear. It's dark, desolated and gloomy all over. There are ruins of a village, dried up run-down trees, a lunar eclipse in the sky and even the sand under your feet has no color. It's like it's fine dust, resembling ash. "Beelzemon? What is this place?" you ask. "I... I think it's the MudFrigimon village..." he answers. Afar the world is reverting to particles of light. It's the same everywhere around you. This is the end. He shares your feeling of anxiety.

"How do you feel watching the world end before your eyes? How do you feel knowing whatever you do, you can't change anything? This world will be purified. All the data that's taken this form, making a world, will be absorbed and reduced to nothing. This dimension will perish" a voice resembling Leliel's, which is more husky and confident, speaks. Beelzemon looks around, turning around a few times before calming down and closing the lower two of his three eyes. "(Y/N). Close yer eyes and take a good whiff" he says. You look around in an anxious manner before looking at him and nodding, closing your eyes after. You take a good smell. It smells like pee and it's not very far. "D'ya smell it?" he asks. You cover your mouth and nose. "Ew... Did you plan this?" you ask, being grossed out. He laughs. "Naw, but I could say Lady Luck's with me sometimes." You shake your head.

"So get what I'm saying?" he continues. You nod, realising this is an illusion. "Do it, Beelzemon. His arm stretches out, grabbing something. "I got it" he says. Leliel's form appears. It looks like it's being choked by Beelzemon. "Khh..." Leliel wheezes, struggling. He strangles Leliel harder, making the angel turn unconscious before he drops it on the ground. The illusion breaks but even so, the sky doesn't lighten up. "Hey, I wanna play with it. Can I? Or do we tie it up and kill it after it wakes up?" he asks. You shake your head. "We should question it though.."

He stays silent for a moment before taking his gun. "Nah, let's end this then. Hold onto my hand while I deliver that shit back to heavens." You reach out to him, wrapping your hand around the one he's holding the gun with. Your thoughts sync, and a red-and-white striped light emits from one of Berenjena's pipes. You inhale and shout out in unison with him: "AND THE LORD SAID. LET THERE BE LIGHT!"

The bullet shoots while being followed by a red-and-white twister of air, piercing through Leliel and making the angel become data that flies upwards, returning the day to the world. Or afternoon to be correct. "Well, there ain't much light left for this day anyway. Let's get back to m'quarters. 's gettin' chilly" he says, smiling at you. You nod, feeling a little tired and yawning afterwards. He picks you up like you weigh nothing, carrying you back inside.

"Guess using our strength made ya sleepy, huh? Think I could reload ya but I dun' wanna put upon ya, y'know?" You know him well enough to get what he meant, leaning against him and muttering: "Pervert.."
