Seven Deadly Sins~Medi x Masked~Priest AU

Chapter 11: Sin

Masked blinked. He wasn't sure how to feel. The demon that had been terrorizing him for him past few months had just laid his entire heart down in front of him, trauma and all. Masked could see a few stray tears sliding down the demon's cheeks, Masked's face softened as he leaned forward, wiping the tears from Medi's face, causing Medi's back to stiffen and a small blush to form on the demon's face

"Angels of Death cause terror on the human world, in the form in pandemics and natural disasters. The people forced to do it are innocent, like you and Lizzy. I'm sorry I didn't tell you my true intentions for tainting you before, I just wasn't sure you would believe me." A soft smile appeared on the blonde's face, as he tucked a stray piece of back hair behind the demon's ear. "So.. what do we do now?" Masked questioned. Medi opened his mouth to speak, when the sound of the church bell began to echo on the walls of the empty church.

Midnight.

Masked's 20th birthday.

Medi looked at Masked, his eyes vulnerable and full of fear "Kiss me!" Masked's eyes widened, bewildered. "What?" "Just do it!" So, almost as if his body was moving him before his brain could comprehend, Masked found his lips pressed against those of his demon companion.

The kiss was warm, and Medi's lips were soft. There was no feeling of lust in the kiss, which made the corner of Masked's lips quirk up in the slightest. How ironic, a kiss with an incubus that was devoid of lust. Instead, it felt as if Medi was giving all of himself to Masked in that one kiss, and Masked was more than willing to respond to that intensity. Medi smelled like smoke, but not like chimney or wildfire smoke, but more like a sweet incense smoke.

Their kiss lasted for what felt like ages, and they parted when the last low chime of the church bell echoed off the church wall. They waited in silence, centimetres away from each other, for something to happen. The sounds of their heavy breathing was the only thing to be heard as they waited, motionless. Masked was ready to break the silence after about a minute of waiting, when a bright, white light emanated from his face. It was cool, and soothing, unlike the first time he was touched by the holy light when he was a child. Medi shielded his eyes, and after a few moments, the light was gone. Medi widened his eyes in surprise "What, what is it?" Masked questioned. Wordlessly, Medi summoned a hand mirror and held it out to Masked. Masked grabbed the mirror, and was startled by what he saw. His reflection which peered back at him had no Mark. His Mark was gone. The blonde's face split into a huge smile as he set the mirror down next to him "I...what...how?" He inquired, his excitement and relief preventing him from forming full sentences.

"Well, you did just kiss a demon, so I guess that counted as a bad enough sin to taint your holiness, causing you to be unfit to be an Angel of Death now, but damn, If I would have known it was going to be as easy as just kissing, you, I would have done it a loooooong time ago." Masked felt the heat in his cheeks as he looked down at his hands.

"Well... if kissing you is a sin..." Masked spoke, looking back up at Medi, their eyes locking

"...can I sin again?"
