(Cuphead) (Devil x Reader/OC x King Dice) Sweet As Honey

Never Follow Your Brothers

It's been about 10 years since angel's brothers fought the devil and won and she had always been proud of them for that but she'd know from long before that day to never follow along with any of their antics, lest she find herself in trouble. That day they had all but begged and pleaded with her to go with them to the casino and had she gone then her  soul would have been on the line too so she was quietly greatful for her wise choices not to follow them into the upper isles that day or any other day.

The trio were all 20 now, having just celebrated their shared birthday a week prior and angel was reading a magazine on apartments in the city as she and her brothers rode the bus into the main isle for groceries when you heard Cuphead start talking about detouring from the usual route they took to the store and she sighed when Mugman quickly agreed to do it and she closed the magazine and looked at them in annoyance. "You can both stop that nonsense right there. We are not taking a detour. We promised Elder Kettle we would be back by sundown." She insisted as they looked at her and pouted before Cuphead got a sly smile on his face, "geewizz Angel... that's a shame cause... the way I wanted to go there's a really nice apartment taking applications for no charge...."
Angel looked back at him through narrowed eyes, "your point?"
"I'm just sayin' sis. You don't have a job but if you could get in your own apartment and start working you'd have your first months rent in no time... but most places want that money up front... this place dont..." he said as he folded his arms and looked off.
Angel looked down and sighed. She loved living with her brothers and Elder Kettle but she wanted to start her own life... and if cups wasn't lying through his handle then that was an opportunity she couldn't pass up... "fine..." she said as the bus came to a stop. "But let's be quick." She said as she quickly gathered her bag.
Cuphead and Mugman chuckled and nodded victoriously before following their ever responsible sister off the bus.
"Now I mean it cups. We have to be quick. If we miss our next bus the next one isn't for another three hours." She warned as she let him lead the way.
Cups chuckled and turned to walk backwards down the street, smiling at her, "sis stop your worrying. It'll be fine."
"I hate it when you say that." She muttered.
After a few extra minutes of walking they turned a corner and came face to face with the devils casino and her eyes widened and she took a step back. "Are you kidding me cups!?" She snapped as she saw the huge grin on his face. "Why would you wanna come back here?!"
"Cause I wanted to see if anyone even still comes here!" He said as he started heading for the front steps with Mugs right behind him.
"Mugman you can't seriously wanna be here?!" She said as she antsily hurried after them, not wanting to be left alone in such a bad part of town.
Mugs shrugged, "come on sis it's not so bad. Just a quick peak." He said as he slipped his arm around her shoulders and she quickly fixed her hat to hide her face as cuphead pushed open the big door and they stepped inside.
It wreaked of smoke and booze inside and there were clouds of cigar smoke filling the top of the room from all the busy card tables.
Angel clung to her brothers side and looked around nervously, "Ok ok. People still go here. It stinks. Can we leave please?"
"Angel if you're so worried just wait outside." Cuphead said as he pulled his coat collar up to hide his face and Mugman did the same with his scarf.
Angel knew she should go but she didn't wanna be alone here, even on the front steps so she just stayed by mugs. He was the biggest out of all of them anyway.

Mugs had grown up to be tall and rather muscular while cups was a bit shorter like angel but more on the skinny side rather than the cubby side like angel. It was funny how triplets could grow up and end up so different.

As the little group made their way deeper into the building cups grabbed mug's other arm and smiled as he pointed, "lookie there mugs! It's ol'diceface!" He said, pointing out a tall man with a die for a head. He wore a purple and white suite and he was...rather handsome.
The man was standing at the bar, his head on a swivel as he watched for trouble makers around the casino.
"Who is he?" Angle asked
"That's king dice. The casino manager. The devils right hand man." Cuphead answered with a chuckle.
She bit her lip, "boys we should leave before he sees you. He might remember what you did all those years ago..." she said, her back was now to dice and as she spoke the boys began to look up and away from her as their already white completions somehow got paler. "What? What's wrong?" She asked as she looked at her spooked brothers.
"Well well well what do we have here?" Dice said as he came to stand directly behind angle, his voice had a southern Louisiana twang to it.
Angle gasped and turned to press her back to her brothers as they began to back away. "If it ain't cupface and mugbreath!" He said, his eyes flashing green as he glared at them with a smile.
Each one of her brother put a hand on her shoulders and pulled her with them as they aimed their finger guns at dice.
"And what's this? A little tea cup? How sweet." Dice said before bringing his hands to his mouth and whistling.
Just before they reached the door the floor behind them opened up and the devil himself, an even larger man than dice covered in shaggy black fur rose from the hole and he smiled down at them evil.
Mugs pointed his finger gun at the devil and cups at dice.
Angle had never received those powers, she was utterly helpless.

Devil smirked as he puffed his large cigar and eyed down the little cup trio. "Look what the cat dragged in dice. New dishware."
"Yes indeed boss." He chimmed
"Let us leave. We beat you once and we will do it again!" Cups yelled, pushing angle behind him and mugs.
The devil and dice laughed, "we've been busy while you boys have been gone. We knew you'd be back one day so we took steps to make sure you wouldn't be able to do anything to us." Dice explained, "go on cupface. Try and shoot me. I dare ya." He said, bending over to be at eye level with cuphead.
Cuphead went to shoot him but...nothing happened.... no blast... no magic bulllet... nothing.
Angle gasped. The smoke in the air... it wasn't just cigar smoke. It was an anti-magic field...
Suddenly the devil began to grow and grow and grow and he grabbed cups and mugs in his fists and laughed an evil deep laugh as angle stepped back and looked on in horror.
"And now your souls are mine!" He said, proud.
Angels eyes widened and she rushed forward, "wait! Wait please! Please don't hurt them!" She pleaded as she stood before the devil himself, feet planted firm.
"And why shouldn't I?" He asked as he looked down at her, giving the brothers a light squeeze in his fist to stop their struggling.
She looked at her brothers and back at the devil and swallowed, "I'll give you my soul if you let them go free!" She said, her voice cracking as she spoke.
The devil looked her up and down before looking to dice who was doing the same, his eyes glowing green as he inspected her.
"Don't do it angel!" Cups yelled as he struggled, "just go get help!"
"You could listen to your brother...but they'll be long dead before you return... and I quite like your idea my dear." He said as he nodded to dice who pulled a soul contract out of his lapel along with a pen and handed them to her. "The choice is yours of course..." the devil said through his sharp teeth.
Angel looks over the contract before looking back up at her brothers, both of them begging her not to sign but... if she left and they died while she was gone that blood was as good as on her hands. And she would much rather die than let her brothers die.
She quickly signed her name, Angel Tea Cup, to the dotted line at the bottom of the page and the next moment happened so quickly.
The paper disappeared before her eyes and the devil shrunk back to his still huge but normal size and dropped the brothers who ran for angel to try and grab her but died grabbed them quickly and headed for the door.
"It'll be ok angle! We'll get you out! We promise!" Mugs yelled before the door slammed and angel was left alone with the devil...
