Futuristic lover [Diavolo x reader]

1

Diavolo gasped in surprise, as he awoke again, where was he now? What would happen now? Would this suffering ever end?

He frantically glanced around hoping this time he would be ready to brace himself for the surely coming death, he was standing near some sort of a pool, he could hear people all around, he felt anxiety and paranoia kick in as he felt himself slip, he was now in the water, he couldn't swim. 

Why couldn't he swim? Was he going to drown? He tried to reach for the surface but he was just sinking like a broken battleship, deeper into the abyss, his hair slowly dancing around him as he felt his lungs starting to ache in pain, he shut his eyes tight, he wasn't ready for this, he never was ready for anything this curse had brought him.

He opened his eyelids again, as he watched the surface get further and further away until he could see someone jump into the water, he became more afraid, until he saw her eyes, she was swimming down trying to reach for him, she looked like an angel to him, he could feel his lungs ache again as he finally let go of his breath, air bubbles surrounding him. 

The last thing he saw was the beauty reaching for him until his vision faded into darkness, but something was odd, very odd, he didn't feel the loop go off.

He felt his chest being pressed as he finally coughed out water, he snapped his eyes open as his green eyes met the ones he had seen earlier, he took heavy breaths as he studied his savior's face, his heart began pounding rapidly as he watched her. 

"Does anyone have a towel? He's freezing cold!"

You shouted at the people around the pool who had come to see what was going on, someone came up to you and handed you one, you let out a small thank you as you quickly covered the man in the towel, as he rose up to a sitting position, he looked like he was scared out of his mind, "it's okay, it's going to be okay, you don't have to be afraid alright?" You comforted him as your hand caressed his face in a comforting manner. 

Slowly standing up, you reached your hand out to him, he seemed to be unsure but took your hand, and stood up slowly. He looked around in pure fear at all the people who were staring at him, you glanced around as well, "go off now, the situation's over." You told the people and started to lead the man who had fallen into the pool, you lead him away and helped him sit on the bench. "May I ask, what is your name sir?" 

He watched you in silence studying your face nervously as he tried to think for his answer, "it's... Diavolo." You observed his facial features, he seemed to be calmer now, "a rather interesting name may I say," you smiled at him trying to keep him comfortable, "you can call me [Y/N], do you need anything? I could get you another towel if that's alright with you?" You asked him as he only watched you in silence, thinking that he was still in some state of shock you decided to quickly fetch more towels.

"You're an angel..." He said silently as he sat on the bench and held onto the towel around him.

Diavolo sat on the bench and watched as you arrived back with two more towels, he flinched slightly as he heard children yelling, but calmed down as you wrapped another towel around him, "perhaps we should get you out of here, there's so much noise, but I have to inform my boss first, alright Diavolo?"

He looked up to you and slowly nodded his head, he wasn't sure why but he was placing all of his trust on you, he felt the warmth of the towels as he sat silently like a nervous child.

He could hear you talking on the phone as he watched you pacing around, he felt so afraid, not knowing what would happen next, he could feel the anxiety kicking in again as he fidgeted. 

He stopped as soon as he felt your hand on his shoulder he looked up at you with a nervous gaze, you gave him a reassuring smile, "let's go," his expression turned into a surprised one.

He didn't know why you were here and how the loop wasn't going off, he knew he was supposed to drown and die, but you saved him, did that break the loop? He didn't know why but he was glad you came to his rescue when you did.

 He sat in the car, he didn't know where he was going to be taken next or what was happening, maybe he should stop questioning things, they didn't make sense. He watched as you sat down on the driver's side, and glanced at him with that comforting smile, "is your seatbelt on, Diavolo?" He slowly nodded as you smiled at him, he watched as you turned on the engine of the car, he flinched slightly at the sudden sound but slowly relaxed back on the car seat.

But soon his mind began to get filled with worries, he felt afraid again, he could feel his hands shaking as he tried to keep his breathing normal, he glanced at you as he felt your small hand take his bigger one, "it's okay, I can tell you're in distress, but I assure you I'll make sure nothing bad is going to happen to you, okay?" You told him as you comforted him, and he believed you.
