Obey Me Imagines

Day Off (Barbatos Imagine)

     "I'll see you later, my love," Barabtos promised quietly, gently pulling the door closed behind him. You sighed as you laid back down, staring at the ceiling. You wished that he could've stayed for a little while longer, but you knew that his job was important and that he needed to be there.
     You had been in a secret relationship with Barbatos for a couple months now. The quiet demon had captured your heart, and it seemed that you had captured his as well. There were times when you would sneak over to his room or he would come to yours, and you could go off and have secret meet ups at different times. It was trying, but it was definitely worth it.
     Lately, it had seemed that he had a ton of work, and your time together had been less and less. You missed him so bad, and you knew you needed to take action. You grabbed your things and crept out of the palace, on making your way back to the House of Lamentation. You didn't want to jinx it, but you had expertly learned the way to sneak past Lucifer, and you always had a good excuse prepared in case he spotted you, which he hadn't yet.
     The next day, you hurried and got dressed so that you could speak with Diavolo before your classes started. You walked into the palace and straight to his office. You knocked and waited for a response.
     "Come in!" Diavolo's voice welcomed you cheerfully. You opened the door, gently shutting it behind you. Diavolo smiled when he saw you, giving you a wave. "Well, if it isn't one of my favorite humans!" You laughed and he offered you a seat, which you took. "What brings you to my office this morning?"
     You took a breath before you started. "I was wondering if you were aware that there is an important human holiday tomorrow." Diavolo's eyes widened in surprised and he leaned forward in his seat.
     "No, I was not. What is this holiday?"
     You smiled and you knew your plan would work.
     "Well, we call it 'National Butlers' Day' in the human realm," you started. "Each household gives their butler the day off," you explained. He nodded as he listened to your explanation. "I was wondering if we could celebrate this holiday by allowing Barbatos to have the day off."
     You crossed your fingers as you waited for his response. You saw that he was contemplating the idea, and eventually a bright smile crossed his face.
     "Why, of course! It would be rude to not celebrate such an important human tradition," he replied, and you sighed in relief. "Let me just make a note of this."
     You smiled secretly, pleased with your success. Now you just had to make sure you covered all your tracks. "Oh! But you don't want to mention this to the other servants. We wouldn't want to gloat that someone has the day off when they don't."
     Diavolo nodded. "Of course, we need to be courteous."
      "Would you mind if I told Barbatos the good news myself?" you asked, hoping he'd grant this one more request.
      "That seems fair that a human should tell him about the human holiday," he rationalized and nodded. "Yes, I think it's fitting that you should."
      You stood up from your seat, barely able to contain the huge smile on your face. "Thank you, Diavolo! You're the best!" You turned to leave, but a genius idea struck you. "Might I add one more suggestion?"
      "Fire away," he replied, leaning back in his chair.
     "You might want to see if Lucifer or one of his brothers could work in place of Barbatos for the day," you laughed, his laughter joining you. You both said your goodbyes and you skipped out of the palace, deciding that you would tell Barbatos when he would see you at night.
      Later that night, you were grinning ear to ear when Barbatos walked into his room. You stood up and walked over to him, draping your arms around his neck. He smiled, leaning in to kiss your lips as he wrapped his arms around your waist.
      "You'll never guess what I did today," you started, your eyes lighting up as you looked at him.
      "What did you do?" he asked, playing along.
     "I got you the day off tomorrow," you answered in a sing-song voice. He looked confused and you giggled.
    "How in the Devildom did you manage to do that?" he asked, bewildered.
     "I have my ways! I just batted my eyelashes and said 'please" and he was like puddy in my hands," you smirked. He rolled his eyed and laughed before kissing you again. "Oh, and if anyone asks, yes you are thrilled to be selected for National Butlers' Day," you added with a laugh. "Tomorrow, I have a whole day planned for us, so you don't need to worry about a thing."
     "I can't wait, but how are you going to explain this to the demon brothers?" he asked, still wary.
    "I can get Solomon to cover for me," you answered. "He owes me one, anyway, because I helped him out with one of his potions." Barbatos smiled before he pulled you in for a tighter hug, nuzzling his face in the crook of your neck.
      "Thank you. You are the best partner I could ever ask for," he whispered into you. You chuckled, squeezing him tight.
      "Okay, you need to rest up. We have a big day planned tomorrow," you informed him, pulling away from the hug and walking to his door.
      "Wait a second! Don't you think you could stay for just a little longer?" he asked, moving to be by your side again.
     "Well, I guess I could stay for a little longer," you admitted, turning and grinning at him. He smiled and pulled you back in for a deeper kiss, happy to be able to spend time with you.
     The next morning, you spent some time putting things together for your day with your boyfriend. You talked with Solomon and you worked out your cover story with him. You packed your back and gave your excuse to the brothers, slipping out of the house to go meet Barbatos.
      You stood in front of the palace, texting him that you were there and you waited for him. He soon came out to meet you, a bright smile on his face. He gave you a quick kiss on the lips before he pulled away and grabbed your hand.
     "I'm excited for today," he admitted, walking where you were leading him.
     "I'm excited, too. It's been awhile since we've had some alone time, and I'm glad that I get to spend the day with you," you replied, squeezing his hand tighter.
     "You know, with the way you were able to pull this off, I'd say that you almost have more magic than I do," he laughed, and you smiled at him.
     "First up on the agenda: breakfast!" you announced. He smiled as you led him to one of his favorite cafes.
    Your morning was wonderful. You both enjoyed some breakfast together, before you took him to one of his favorite book stores. You picked out a new book to read and he picked out something as well. Then, you decided to go for a walk in a nearby park, you sharing some stories from the human world and Barbatos spilling the tea about the brothers and Diavolo. You took some time to take some picture of Barbatos and you had a little photo shoot with him, finding some photos that you would make your home or lock screen.
    Soon, it was time for lunch, so you reached in your bag and grabbed the lunches you had made, taking Barbatos to sit at a bench nearby.
     Shortly after lunch, you brought Barbatos to the movie theater, and you let him choose the movie that you would be watching. Hit picked something the both of you would like. During the film, you held his hand, squeezing it tight. Eventually, his attention and yours shifted from the movie to each other, the both of you moving to be closer together so you could kiss. You barely noticed when the lights turned on after the movie was over.
    After the movies, you went with Barbatos to the museum. You spent hours in there, with him telling you the history behind some of the exhibits. You loved listening to him explain, just captivated by the way he talked.
    You did a few more small activities, before you took Barbatos to a restaurant before dinner. You had the perfect way to end the night, so you took Barbatos to a secret clearing.
    "It's beautiful," he remarked, looking around and then back at you. "What is this place?"
    "This is my secret hideout," you explained. "I stumbled across this place, and it just became where I went when I needed to get away from everything. I wanted to share it with you," you whispered, looking up into his eyes. He smiled at you, bringing up a hand to stroke your face.
     "It's wonderful, thank you for sharing."
     You moved and reached into your backpack, grabbing the blanket you had packed. You pulled it out, spreading it out on the ground. You sat and patted the spot next to you, encouraging him to sit next to you, which he did. You both laid back, his arm wrapping around you as you looked at the stars. You were both attempting to spot some constellations, and even attempting to make a few of your own, featuring a smiley face and a stick person.
      "Thank you for today," Barbatos said, turning his head to look at you. "I really enjoyed being able to spend my day with you."
     You turned to look at him more directly. "You're welcome. You one-hundred percent deserve it."
     "You know, if we told Diavolo about us, we might be able to get a few more days like this," he suggested with a laugh.
     You sat up, causing Barbatos to sit up, too. You took a deep breath before you started what you needed to say. "Honestly, you deserve more days off. You are so hard-working, diligent, committed, kind, sweet, thoughtful, caring, not to mention good-looking," you stated as you began to list your favorite qualities about him. His face flushed as he listened to you compliment him.
     "The point is, I love you, Barbatos, and if you're ready to tell people about us, then I am definitely ready, too."
     He waited for just a moment, his eyes glancing down at your lips before meeting your gaze again. Slowly, you both leaned in, your eyes fluttering closed as his lips pressed against yours. It was soft and sweet and he pulled away after a moment, a huge smile on his face.
     "Then I think I'm ready," he admitted, making you smile as well.
    You both laid back down, you snuggling against your boyfriend. He smiled, holding you tight against him. He was so glad that he met you and he felt incredibly lucky that you were with him, and he couldn't wait to let the entire Devildom know that you were his girl.
