Obey Me! Shall We Date? Asmodeus X Reader X Mammon

Detention

You knew it was a bad idea for you and Mammon to stay up until 5 a.m. marathoning the Harry Potter movies, but he was just so into it that his enthusiasm ended up rubbing off on you. Unable to push away your exhaustion any longer, you fell asleep at around 5:30 while Mammon was getting ready to play another movie. Who knows how much longer he stayed awake? You felt your heart drop when you awoke the next morning, sleepily rubbing your eyes as the clock flashing 8:00 a.m. told you that you were late for class. Panicking, you hurriedly shook Mammon awake who had been still sleeping soundly without a care on the floor next to you, Lucifer would be pissed.

This is how the two of you ended up in detention together, though it honestly wasn't all that bad. In the six months since you had arrived in Devildom, Mammon had become your best friend and confidant. Yes he was a bit stupid, but he was nice in a clumsy way and it was easy to talk to him about anything. Mammon spent the most time with you out of all the demon brothers. When he wasn't taking you out to the human world for fun and good eats, he was chilling with you in your room playing video games or marathoning movies with you like last night. While Barbatos who had been assigned to watch you two was absorbed in a book, you were passing notes back and forth with Mammon.

How are things going with Asmo? read Mammon's note.

Mammon knew about your feelings for his younger brother, and had always been supportive of you. You were grateful for that.

He's going to do my hair and makeup for the party tonight : ) you wrote back.

Today was Satan's birthday, so a grand party was being held at the Demon Lord's Castle for demons, angels, and humans to socialize. Asmodeus, being your second closest friend and sometimes substitute "gal pal" of course volunteered to coordinate your look for the occasion.

Lol watching you guys is tiring, just fuck already :P  Mammon had written, but just as he was going to hand you the piece of paper, Lucifer came up from behind him and snatched it out of his hands.

"Hey! Give that back!" Mammon protested angrily, momentarily forgetting that this was detention and Lucifer was not amused. Lucifer began to read your conversation out loud, to which Mammon turned away with a huff and you felt your cheeks flush in mortification. Barbatos looked confused, the adult nature of Mammon's comment didn't add up with what he was reading.

"I'm not surprised Mammon would write something so vulgar." sighed Lucifer.

"This is detention, there will be no goofing off until the two of you reflect upon your irresponsible actions.....that being said however, I didn't know you and Asmo were like that, (Y/N)." Lucifer smirked while clearly teasing you.

This was beyond embarrassing, Lucifer wasn't the type to spread gossip about people's private lives so you didn't have to worry about him outing you, but you still hadn't intended for him or anyone else to find out you had feelings for Asmodeus. Thankfully the rest of detention went by without further incidents. As you stood up collecting your things, Mammon walks up to you.

"Hey, sorry about that. I was just teasing ya, didn't expect Lucifer to show up an' announce it to the whole world like that." Mammon shrugged dispassionately.

"Don't worry about it, only us and Barbatos were there anyways." you assured him.

"Really? Then what do you say to The Great Mammon taking you to an amusement park in the human world tomorrow to make it up to ya?" he asked in that usual smug tone of voice.

You smiled and nodded, "Okay".

"Later then." Mammon gave you a quick smile as he sped out of the classroom.

Just as Mammon had left, Asmodeus burst into the room in a frenzy.

"(Y/N) ~ I heard that you got in trouble with Lucifer this morning! Are you okay??? He didn't do anything to hurt you did he??" he questioned you worriedly, examining you closely to make sure you were alright.

"I'm okay." you said with a laugh. "I overslept and ended up late to class, so Lucifer gave me detention is all."

Asmodeus peered into your eyes for another second before he was content that you were unharmed.

"That's no good (Y/N) ~ if you stay up late and don't get your beauty sleep, your skin is going to pay for it!" he playfully scolded you with that signature sweet smile.

Your heart constricted in your chest. "Thanks for worrying about me, Asmo.", you gave him a shy smile in return. 

"That's enough dawdling here sweetie, we only have another 3 hours until the party starts ~" Asmodeus beamed in excitement as he grabbed your hand and walked back to The House of Lamentation with you.

He'd held your hand plenty of times before, but it still made your heart pound like a wild thing every time. You wondered if he felt the same way whenever he got touchy feely with you. There was no way, right? This was just second nature to Asmodeus, it didn't mean anything special. You internally kicked yourself for feeling this way about him, but it almost felt like it was destiny that brought you two together. It wasn't his looks that made you fall for him, you were immune to his powers, though you couldn't deny that he was gorgeous. You were in love with his heart, you knew that there was more to him than his narcissism and promiscuity, more than he was letting on.

He always acted confident, like there wasn't anyone he couldn't charm, but you knew the real reason he seeks the attention of others is because he desperately wants love. He would never admit it, but he doesn't truly love himself. This sad realization broke your heart. You wanted to show him that his worth isn't determined by what other people think of him. You wanted to help, but you were also tormented by the same insecurities and fear of rejection. How ironic. Every time you saw him pictured with a different woman on devilgram you felt your heart tear in two. Could you ever change him? Did you have the right to?
