~How unfortunate~ | Mephisto Pheles x Reader

Neun. Revealing

"Give me a break" It seemed to be one thing after the other, i had only just arrived here and all it has been is troublesome. I've considered taking my leave, wandering and settling down once finding the right person to start a family with, but i chose a different path from that and must face the consequences. My fate was decided from the day i killed my only family, for now I'll keep a low profile and try to live my life to the fullest. Like a normal 17 year old girl who has no one to rely on, and so must keep to herself to keep others safe, masking her true emotions and desires. But it has proven to be very hard with a certain demon king 'keeping an eye on me,' his bizarre excuses growing unbearably preposterous. My thoughts seemed to be yanked from my brain as i was roughly forced forward, "Could you move" the brunette now walking past spat, her snotty friends acting as if they owned the place. "I mean, i could but why would i spend that much time and effort to let an ugly rat scurry past?" Oh how i felt victorious, i never really had the chance to insult someone and watch them seethe with rage. "Oh my your face is turning red, i sure hope you are alright!" Pushing a little further, i acted as if i was oblivious to the situation. Her reaction was priceless, her face contorting into a deep frown while her pale complexion burned red. "Bitch!" The rat ran full force towards me with her fist balled ready to strike, "Well that's not very pleasant." Just as i dodged her attack i was grabbed from behind, both arms being restrained by the two other larger girls. I struggled in their grip and looked around desperate for someone to come into the deserted hall and beat the crap out of them, "Says the one who smothers the headmaster just for money, is mommy and daddy not sending enough money that you have to turn to begging and prostitution" I scoffed at her remark feeling anger build up "Sorry to rain on your parade love, but my parents are dead and you'll join them soon enough" I wanted to kill her, every inch of my body screamed and yearned for her blood. "Well it doesn't look that way to me" She readied her fist and swung again aiming for my face, she stopped in her tracks and stared up in fear. A man unfamiliar to her holding tightly onto her arm and squeezing, the same bored and unamused look carved upon his face. "Amaimon, what are you doing here! You shouldn't be out in public, you idiot!" His teal eyes crossed mine "My brother stuck me under strict orders to protect you at all costs when he is not present" My eyebrow twitched in aggravation knowing that id be under surveillance 24/7, "Let go freak!" he looked back at her but did not reply, he only seemed to stare deep down into her eyes. "I should devour you" And with that one comment from him, she bailed. She yanked herself out of his grip and legged it, the two holding me let go and split. Turning his attention to me, placing one hand on the back of his head to scratch and the other Pulling me up and dragging me behind him as he trailed off somewhere. An unsure and slightly scared smile formed on my face when I gained the courage to ask the question. "You don't actually eat people, right?" He replied with a simple shrug and continued on yanking me somewhere, there was a long pause of silence. As always.

"I'm bored, lets do something" I may have misjudged these demon kings, they can be very dangerous yet so protective of me, a human girl. I don't fully understand why i wasn't slaughtered when i came face to face with either of them, but I'm quite amused with the way they act. "You're not accustomed to this world are you? You're lacking emotions, its quite depressing actually. Do you not feel anything at all?" "This world fascinates me, but i don't understand the concept of the human heart and their pointless emotions" The silence followed as i matched his pace escaping from his grasp, gradually slowing down and stopping. "Not all of them are pointless you know, there are a few decent ones. Like love, it drives us to the point of insanity without us realizing, that's how dedicated some people are to it. But it can also be good, it makes one feel complete and wanted. And that someone will always be there for them through hard times, and when they have nothing left, they have someone who will hold and comfort them when they feel like crumbling away" What were these words leaving my mouth, i had never experienced something like love so why did i know so much. Am i alone? "Do you mean like this?" His smooth voice caused a shiver to run down my spine, his arms snaking from behind me and wrapping around my waist, pulling me close and pushing my back to his chest as he embraced me. His head resting on mine as we stood silently in the vacant corridor, the sound of two pounding hearts deafening me. "I feel nothing, you don't satisfy me" With that, he let go, mumbled a small 'I'm bored now' and walked off. Leaving me completely awestruck, was i not good enough, no i shouldn't be thinking like that, he is a demon's child.

Shaking it off and heading outside and turning towards the rather large school, I began my strenuous climb. The cool air slammed against my pale complexion as i used all my strength to keep pushing myself up, a few minutes passed and i was now half way. A strong gust of wind almost made me lose my grip on the ledge of a window i was holding onto, its rigid concrete scratching at my hands as i held on for dear life. Pursuing on with my climb and desperately trying to get to the top without being spotted by anyone, nearing the roof of the tall building i grabbed on tight and hoisted myself up. My entire body ached as i sat on the ledge overlooking Japan, staring out at the midnight lights watching the many cars coruscate far in the distance. My nimble fingers ran through my tangled (h/c) hair to soothe myself, attempting to hush the pessimistic thoughts that constantly haunted me. "Why am i here? Who am i looking for? Who am i?" "Indeed, Who are you?" I jolted up in fear staring at the source of the voice, my body stiffened up more upon being in the presence of Mephisto. His back resting against the spire of the school with his arms crossed against his clothed chest, "Mephisto! When did you get there?!" A mischievous smirk pulled at his lips "I have been here quite a while, just admiring the dashing view" He approached and sat next me, dangling his legs off the roof and swinging them back and forth, his hands resting behind him holding him up. "If you don't mind me asking, Darling. But, Do you really not know as to whom you are?" My head hung low, my hair falling in front of my eyes casting dark shadows. "The real question is who are, i mean who were my parents and why did they insist on keeping me locked away? It cost them their lives, and i was left alone with nothing but their mangled corpses burned forever into my mind. I didn't deserve any of that so why!? Why were they so stubborn, thinking they could keep the existence of demons and exorcists hidden from me, and what is there to show for it, It was all for nothing! They're dead. And they're dead because of me!" Silence ripped through the air leaving a thick tension, my breath coming out heavy and shaky. For the first time in years i was crying and showing my true emotions, letting all my built up anger and pain out before the very being i tried hiding them from. Looking up at him with my tear stained face, I saw the severity and commiseration within his eyes as they locked with mine. "(Y/n), I'm so sorry. I didn't know" I rudely cut him off, not wanting to hear it "You didn't know! I told you not to pry because i knew this would happen, exactly what i was trying to prevent!" I quickly stood with him following my lead, my back facing Japan. "(Y/N), Calm down, please" He reached out a gloved hand but ended up with it being roughly smacked away, "Don't touch me! Stay away, please" Completely consumed with anger and caught in the moment, i backed away and lost my footing. Time seeming to slow as my body fell backwards, my hand subconsciously reaching out for his. My hair violently whipping around my face as i plummeted to the ground, my life flashing before my eyes.

This is it, the end of the line for me. I closed my eyes engulfed by darkness, almost instantly the thought of Mephisto flashed into my mind, he was smiling and calling my name reaching his hand out to place it on mine, his eyes gleaming with intense passion. Once he began speaking i felt all my worries wash away, Why? "(Y/n) darling, i will protect you even if it costs me my life. So stay forever by my side, and we can live happily ever after. Just promise to live, I trust you can do that for me." He lifted my hand to his lips and gently kissed it, chuckling at my flustered face and pulling me into his arms. "(Y/N)!" My eyes snapped open with realization, anxiously reaching my hand out and successfully intertwining my fingers with his, pulling me close to him and wrapping one arm around my waist and the other on the back of my head forcing it into the crook of his neck. He span us around so i was laying on top of him as we fell. "EIN" "ZWEI" "DREI" I wasn't too sure why he was yelling but i tried distracting myself, trying to focus on anything else. And the one thing that grabbed my attention was his amazing smell, his scent intoxicated me. Has he always smelt this good? My thoughts were cut short once i figured that we were no longer falling, he landed onto the soft surface of a bed, my body crashing on top of his. I had no time to react due to his arms re-wrapping themselves around my body and squeezing tightly, his head burying into my neck. "You foolish girl, never scare me like that again" He sounded genuinely upset "I'm sorry. I never wanted this to happen" He lightly ran his long fingers through my hair, stroking it as in to calm me down. "Can we please stay like this, just a little longer?" "Of course" Happy with his response, i let the tears fall. The soft beats of his heart sending me to sleep, not caring how much contact we were currently having. Finally at peace with him and myself.
