Show me your smile [Beelzemon x Reader]

52: Black Intruder

You listen to the king's story, being amazed. "But can you use your silver wings now?" you ask after him explaining. "With these archangel's wings, I cannot use my own wings since they're locked by the wings I have now." You nod. "Okay. I am sure you are the real embodiment of heroic deeds unlike the other archangels I've met up until now."

He gets up and smiles. "Let's get to the dinner table, I think it's ready and waiting for all of us. From now on, I'll think of you as my own son since you are a good lad." You smile, waling with him along the corridor. "By the way, I have difficulties with the barrier. I had to come in side by side with Nithael to enter. Why is that?" you ask, lying again. He gives you a badge. "Attach this to your armor and you'll be able to enter any time. Normally it fends off them who aren't our people but I'm certain you're one of ours."

You put the badge on your armor. "Thanks. Oh, may I use the restroom? I haven't used one since I left the city." He smiles. "Go ahead. You know where to return." You bow and start making your way outside to examine the barrier. You fly outside the barrier and put your hand on the mark, calling for Beelzemon in your heart. When you feel it reaches him, you tell him how to enter the barrier and that he should follow you to the place you are now. You also tell him you've infiltrated the castle of angels successfully. His spirit feels angry as it contacts back to you, telling you he couldn't find you and that he was really worried, readying himself to come get you. You tell him to bring Renamon just in case before going back inside the barrier and making your way to the dining hall next to the throne room.

"Ah, there he is, our auspicious young lad. Come sit with me and my wife" the king says and you take a look at the queen. She's very beautiful with her burgundy hair, green eyes and fair skin. You sit to the other side of the king as instructed and you're poured a full wood mug of mead. Michael raises his mug, shouting to the many other tables full of soldiers: "Knights, let us have a toast for our new valuable asset, Daniel!" The soldiers raise their cups, starting to drink the mead. You follow the custom hesitantly, noticing the mead is very sweet but a little bubbly.

The huge dinner proceeds and when it's time for the dessert, a black man with wings and a huge gun on his arm breaks through another huge window with art that resembles the man. "I've come to get you, pumpkin pie" he says and as he raises his face, you realize it's Beelzemon. He kneels and offers his hand to you since he's bigger and taller than he used to be. You flinch without saying a word.

The king gets up. "How dare you call out to my son like that?" You try keeping up the act, looking to the king. "Who is he?" Michael draws out his sword. "He is the feared demon among demons, the Black Intruder. The god gave me a mission to destroy him." You look back at Beelzemon through the helmet. "For fuck's sake, have they brainwashed you in an hour?" he says, grabbing you and bursting back out through the window. As he does that, the helmet flies off your head, revealing your face. "A girl?!" Michael asks before flying after you. You and Beelzemon have some distance between you and the king.

You start hitting his arm in a tantrum. "Why'd you have to fuck everything up, I was doing great!" He sighs. "Good, they didn't brainwash you. What would you have done if they found you out?" You look away. "Improvise. Also, I know the archangel here isn't a bad guy, he's just been tricked by his god to kill you for some reason." "Archangel? Thought there was only 12 angels all in all." You shake your head. "Nah, the angels we've been fighting are archangels and the soldiers back in the dining hall were normal angels with wings that form by will when they need them. Michael was an exception though and when he did manifest them he couldn't use them and when he saved his village from a killing machine the god raised him into an archangel giving him wings he could use" you explain. "And the archangels get orders straight from their god?" he asks. You smile. "Precisely. Let's get down to that fighting ground and figure out a plan. They're nowhere near us now."

He lands you to the wide fighting ground and now you see his height which is nearly half more than he was tall. "How did you get wings though?" you ask. "Dunno, suddenly felt a pretty strong feeling of wanting to save you and wanting to be able to fly and I got wings and a gun. Also my eye color's different for some reason." He sits down cross-legged and you sit in the middle of his legs the same way. "So we shouldn't hurt the king but convince him he shouldn't follow his god. I suppose that's enough" you wonder.

Michael lands right in front of you. "Your name isn't Daniel, is it? You must be the girl we kidnapped to lure that demon here." You shake your head. "My name is (Y/N) and I was called to this world from mine to protect it." The king before you stares intensely in your eyes. "Protect that world of demons from what?" You look down. "I'm sorry, but you and the others like you are destroying this world, telling us you'll purify it for the god you serve, destroying even the lamb like life." He shakes his head. "That's impossible! What are you doing with a demon if that's the case?" You look up at Beelzemon, petting his cheek. "He's the other one chosen to protect this world and he's my lover, one of the reasons I was specifically chosen to my part."
