Seven Deadly Sins~Medi x Masked~Priest AU

Chapter 8: Lust

It was a cold Thursday night, and Masked was walking in the chilled air. The sun had set around 8, and the stars were beginning to appear in the sky. Tomorrow is Masked's 20th birthday, and he was nothing but excited. He had experienced many birthdays in the past, sure, but this one felt... different. He wasn't sure why, but something in the air made him believe that this year was gonna be different. Usually he would just spend it alone, a small pastry in substitute for a birthday cake. But this year, he was hoping a certain black-haired demon would be present for his birthday. He didn't quite know how to feel about Medi when he first met him, but the incubus had grown on him. He didn't act like a demon...most of the time. If he would have met Medi for the first time on the steps of the church that day with the young girl, he might have mistaken him for an angel, and Medi had the looks to back that hypothesis up, too.

Masked could feel the heat rising in his cheeks as he entered the clergy housing room. He was surprised to see rose petals lying on the ground. After hanging up his coat, he followed a trail of rose petals up to his room. The smell of sweet candles, cheap perfume, and champagne flowed under the crack of the door. Masked took a deep breath, and pulled open the door. Inside he found quite the scene. Candles lined every inch of the room, giving off a sweet, chocolatey sent. Rose petals covered the floor, swirling into little hearts every so often. The bed, though, that's where the main attraction laid.

Medi was lying on the bed, wearing a black silk robe, as well as lacy black lingerie and a black garter belt. In his hands he held two glasses of champagne, with little strawberries stuck to the rim. The bed was covered in a multitude of...toys, none of which Masked was interested in. "Care to join me doll?" the incubus asked, a sultry grin present on his face. Masked was frozen in place, the heat in his face getting hotter by the second. Then, like a switch was flipped, he steeled. "I can't believe you." Masked threw up his hands. "Just as we begin to become friends, just as you begin to show me a part of who you really are, you do this shit!" The blonde runs his hands through his hair as Medi sets down the glasses of champagne, his smirk faltering. "What, do you not like what you see?" He responded, motioning to his body. "No, that's not it, I just...thought that you were better than this, trying cheap tactics to corrupt me for some sick game you're playing." A flash of hurt is seen in Medi's eyes, but it's gone just as fast as it came, replaced by a lustful stare. "I am an incubus, darling, don't you remember?" he purred at the masked priest. Masked sighed. I remember, I just thought you were better than this."

Masked turned around and left the candle-lit room, headed in the direction of the church, leaving Medi alone. The smirk immediately fell, replaced with a look of sadness and anger. Why did he always mess this up? Medi groaned, rolling off the bed and onto the floor. He changed into his usual suit, and sat up. He needed to do something, and fast, or else he would fail. His duty, his purpose, was just as important to him as Masked's purpose was to him, and if he didn't do something soon, he will have failed his purpose.

Suddenly, a bright, flashing white light appeared outside. It was coming from the church. It was coming from the direction that Masked went. Medi looked at the time on Masked's alarm clock, and hurriedly exited the room, heading to the church.

Was he already too late?
