Even Demons Need A Little Love (DMC Reader X Blake Belladonna)

Mistake. Worthless. Freak. These might seem like horrible things to hear even in passing, but for Y/N Xiao Long, they're constantly heard multiple times a day. At first, it was only rare verbal abuse, a few missed meals here and there. Then Raven left, and it turned to a few physical beatings a week, constant verbal abuse, one meal every two weeks. Y/N thought he had a chance to have a nice life when Summer came into the family, and he did. For a while. Eventually, Taiyang and Yang started the abuse again, and it was unnoticed by Summer. Then, once more, someone left. After Summer's death, even the abuse from before she came to the family seemed lucky. Constant physical abuse, never getting a meal except the ones he snuck himself, sleepless nights spent in fear of getting hit. Until he finally couldn't take anymore, and ran away with nothing but his clothes, and a greatsword called Rebellion.

Ten years later, Y/N Rose-Branwen L/N steps foot in Vale for the first time since he ran.
