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

Keeping Secrets

When that evening rolled around angel had hidden the pills in her bedside table just as the devil and dice came upstairs to check on her.
The sat on either side of her and smiled. "What did the doctor say darlin?" Dice asked as the devil moved to lay his head in her lap, taking her hand and laying it on his head which was his was of demanding scratches which she was happy to give.
"Oh it's just a little bug. I'm feeling better already." She lied with a nervous smile and the devil looked at her out of the corner of his eye. As the devil he could always detect a lie, as lying was a sin and he could sense sin. But the question was...why lie about being sick?

Dice smiled and kissed her hand. "Good! I'm glad to hear it darlin." He said as he stood. Well we just wanted to check on you but we gotta get back down stairs. Come on Dede. We gotta go before we are missed."
The devil sat up and tilted angels face to him and leaned in to kiss her gently, making her blush like mad.
"Rest." He ordered as he slipped off the bed and followed dice out, deciding it was best to not let dice know angel had just lied about how she was feeling.

Angel watched them go and took a relieved sigh once they were gone. The way the devil looked at her she had been sure for a second she was caught. Thank goodness she was clever.

She couldn't wait for her weekly visit from her brothers, she needed their help so badly. She wanted to talk to Piroetta and wheezy but she was afraid that anything said in the casino would somehow get back to the devil and she just wasn't ready yet. She didn't want them to know yet.

The brothers would visit once week or even sometimes twice and take angle out for lunch or just to the park or something. Just the three of them so when she was sitting at the bar swirling a little water around at the bottom of her glass and heard a fimiliar arrogant voice ring though from the front door she lit up and looked over to see cup head smiling evilly as he, litterally butt heads with the devil. "Oh yeah tough guy! Let's go! Me and you! Right now!"
"I will crush your cup into to powder and snort it like a line of cocaine you hexed piece of dishware!" The devil retorted.
Dice was trying to hold the devil back and mugs was doing the same to cuphead when angel rushed in and threw her arms around her brothers, pushing them both back away from the devil and dice.
The brother laughed and hugged her tight as cuphead glared at the devil over her shoulder.
"Seriously cups. Can't you two get along just long enough to pick me up? It's only for a few minutes a week." She scolded as she pulled away.
"We do get along! I haven't killed ya boyfriend have i?"
"Cuuuuups." She moaned as she took his wrist and pulled him towards the door, Mugman at her heals.

The trio made their way to their favorite little deli over near the baroness's castle and sat down but when I came time to order the brothers got their usual and angel just ordered water and crackers.
The boys exchanged glances as the waitress walked away and they looked at their sister curiously.
"What's up sis? You eat already?" Cuphead asked, making angel fidget in her seat.
Mugman raised an eyebrow. "Somethings wrong. You only ever fidget like that when somethings on your mind." He said gently.
She sighed, "You boys have to swear on your cups you won't freak out." She said, looking up from the table.
They both nodded, "we swear." They said in unison.
"Ok ok... i... I'm pregnant..." She admitted.
Mugman looked like he might hit the floor and cuphead started to laugh like a mad man, making angel blush and glare at him.
"Good one sis! As if!" He said through the laughter.
"I wasn't joking cuphead." She insisted, her mouth set in a hard line and slowly he stopped laughing when he saw she was really serious and then his eyes went wide and he looked like he might hit the floor too.
"Oh shit angel..." He said
She sighed and nodded, looking back down at the table.
"What are you gonna do? Do devil and dice know?" Mugman asked, finally able to speak.
She shook her head. "No... I haven't been able to tell them yet. I'm too scared. It's so early for us... things are still so new i... oh boys I don't know what to do..." She said, tears filling her eyes.
Cup head moved to sit next to her in the chair beside her and pulled her into his arms. "Hey. No matter what happens sis you'll always have us. We love you and I for one can NOT WAIT to be an uncle." He said, putting a hand on her belly and she chuckled lightly.
"Uncle cupface." She teased and he tickled her, making her laugh and squirm.
Her brothers, while they got on her very last nerve, knew her like the back of their hands.

They returned her that afternoon and instead of butting heads with the devil, for once cuphead simply laid a firm hand on the guys shoulder and gave him a smile on his way out the door after giving his sister a hug and kiss goodbye.

The devil watched him go in a bit of shock before making his way over to angel.
"Ok... I'm the devil. I invented weird. And that...that was weird." He said in his deep gruff demonic voice.
Angle chuckled. "He's just happy." She said as she took his arm and turned to walk into the casino with him.
"So I've been meaning to ask you these last few days..." He said as he slipped his arm around her.
"Yes?" She said, looking up at him.
"Why did you lie to dice when he asked you what the doctor said?"
She looked up at him, stunned that she had been caught and she blushed, coming to a stand still and looking away. "I don't wanna talk about it dev."
"Come on doll. We promised to not keep secrets from eachother..." He urged as he moved to take her hands.
She looked up at him and saw those big red and gold puppy eyes and she hissed between her teeth. "Oh I hate it when you give me that look dev..."
"You hate it cause you can't resist it." He teased and she smiled softly
"I also hate it when you're right." And he smirked, taking a clawed finger and tilting her chin up to look at him. "Tell me."
"I will but... I want to tell you and dice at the same time. Is that ok?"
He sighed and nodded. "At dinner?" He asked
"At dinner." She agreed, leaning up to kiss him. "Speaking of which if you boys wanna eat I better go get that started." She said after their kiss and she hurried off upstairs.

That evening dice and devil sat down as Angel served up their food. Having a dinner together once a week had actually been devils idea. He had gotten jealous of how angel spent the day with Mugs and cups and he wanted to spend time with her two with dice so he planned what he called, "dinner date night" where one of them would cook and they'd spend the evening together. It was nice.
As they started eating devil nudged angel under the table and raised an eyebrow. "Doll. Did you have something you were gonna tell us?" He asked, impatient as always.
She glared at him lightly, "I wanted to eat first but ok..." She said as she picked up her napkin to wipe her mouth.
Dice looked confused. "What's going on?" He asked
"Well... you know how I haven't exactly been myself lately? And I got sick a few days ago... well..." She bit her lip and fidget in her seat nervously.
"There's a reason for it and...It's not just a bug..." She explained slowly.
The devil and dice exchanged a look of concern, "ok... then what is it darlin?" Dice asked, reaching across the table to take her hand.
She looked up at them both and swallowed. "Im... I'm pregnant." She said softly.
