Barbatos X Reader | Death Cycle

(Y/n) = Your name

(f/t) = Favorite tea. If you don't have a favorite, choose a random flavor.

Note: I know demons are known to be more capable than humans, but for plot purposes, I'm going to lower their stats in this one-shot.

WARNING: Mentions of death and blood. Perhaps murder as well.

The dark-green haired demon smiled at you as he poured the (f/t) tea into your cup.

"Thanks, Barbie!" you said jokingly, earning a twitch of the butler's eyebrows. You were both granted permission by the demon lord's son to enjoy a relaxing tea time alone with just the two of you. As you both have mutual respect for one another, you nor Barbatos minded much as you patiently waited for Lucifer to finish his meeting with Diavolo. You had arrived at the Devildom yesterday, so Lucifer had to talk with the R.A.D. student council leader about your stay.

"Care to repeat it again, (Y/n)?" Barbatos asked, pouring himself a cup before sitting in his chair opposite of you, his eyebrow giving two more twitches. He proceeded to drink his tea, his demeanor as calm and graceful as ever.

"I said thanks." You stifle a giggle, careful to not splash any of the tea in the cup you're holding. You quickly grab a biscuit and shoved it into your mouth. "Wow, the biscuit tastes amazing!"

"That's pleasant to hear. I'm the one who made them," Barbatos said, taking a biscuit from the plate as well.

"What day is it today, anyway?" you ask curiously.

"It's Sunday, August 15th." The demon glanced at the clock hanging on the wall next to you both. "12:30 in the afternoon."

"Lucifer and Diavolo are taking a long time if it's already almost lunchtime," you murmured, sipping more of the tea. "But since it's with you, I don't mind." You shot the butler a playful grin.

He poured himself another cup of tea, not paying any attention to you. "That's good."

"... I need to use the restroom," you mumble, flushed.

Barbatos nodded. "I'll escort you, as it's my responsibility to take care of our guest."

You let out a laugh, walking side by side with Barbatos as you headed to the restroom in the hall. Barbatos stood outside the restroom as you did your business. As soon as you finished, you opened the door, a grin on your face. The demon smiled at you as you emerged.

"Bar--"

A shadow slid into view from behind Barbatos and a clawed hand appeared from the butler's chest, right where his heart should be. Crimson liquid splatters onto both your and Barbatos' face, both in shock. The blood was dripping into a puddle already forming on the floor beneath the victim and the culprit.

"Barbatos!"

You sat up, panting heavily. The blanket wrapped around you, you looked around to realize you were in your bedroom in the human world. Hands shaking, you fumble around for your phone as you checked the date.

August 14th. It's a bit past 12 in the morning.

You called Barbatos' D.D.D. He was fine.

A breath of relief escaped your lips. Worried, he asked you what was wrong. You assured him that everything was fine. Before you knew it, Diavolo had sent Barbatos to your place, both of the demons concerned. Not able to tell the butler of the nightmare, you both decided to go outside to a cafe, popular for its tea and delicacies, as well as its luxurious interior.

Barbatos ordered the tea, and as it came, you gulped. It was (f/t), the same tea as before.

Despite your anxiousness, you drank it all.
