sharing a bed was a fleeting thought in his mind; who would have thought it'd have to happen so soon?
content: when thereâs only one bed, what will the demon brothers do?
no warnings, really; just a lot of fluff. non-established relationships and some subtle confessions.
after being sent back to the human world, you spent some time gathering research materials and inspiration for diavolo's upcoming RAD event. the excursion left you tired enough that you were dragging your feet to your hotel with your paired exploration partner just behind you. you checked into the hotel with ease, tension finally leaving your shoulders at the thought of going to bed. but the hotel seemed to have forgotten to tell the both of you about the sleeping arrangements of the room you were booked into. when you got to your room, you hesitated to enter, but when he asked you what was wrong, the words slipped out. âthereâs only one bed.â
belphegor. â ËËË
âoh, really?â belphie slips around you, tired eyes surveying the room in front of him. he shrugs a few moments later, sliding his bag off his shoulder and onto the ground. âiâm fine with it if you are,â the demon hums.Â
you raise an eyebrow at him, shuffling to the other side of the room to place your own belongings down. âyou donât seem very concerned about this situation.â
âwould you rather i be excited?â
âwh- no!â pouting, you turn away from belphie, rummaging through your bag as an excuse to not face him. âjust go shower already. iâll probably take longer than you, so iâll go after.â he hums again in return, and you hear him enter the washroom not long after. with him out of earshot, you sigh quietly to yourself, pretending that you donât feel the tips of your ears burning
by the time you finish your shower, you half expect belphie to be knocked out. instead, you find him lying on top of the covers, eyes fixated on the ceiling before they flicker over to look at you. âyouâre still awake?â
he shoots you a smile, and your heart skips a beat. âdidnât feel like sleeping.â
âthatâs rich, coming from sloth himself.â you stifle a laugh at his excuse, throwing your daytime clothes onto your bag before hopping up onto the other side of the bed. the pillow belphie had set in the middle of the bed as a border felt more like an obstruction rather than a guidance. âso what? couldnât sleep without me around?â you croon, strangely delighted at the blush that spreads across the youngestâs face.Â
but belphie is quick to control his expression, and heâs smirking not more than a few seconds later. âdidnât want to sleep without you,â he says, parroting the tone that you had just used. your jaw drops as belphie laughs, and when you finally decide to say something, he beats you to it. âsweet dreams, MC,â belphie murmurs, features soft under the light before he flicks the bedside lamp off.
âg-goodnight,â you manage to stutter out, turning away from belphie to face the other wall. a subconscious habit of yours, you begin to clench and unclench your fists, making rustling noises under the blankets. you continue for a while, until you feel a hand on your back and hear a gentle voice calling to slumber, eyes falling closed as belphie strokes you softly.
beelzebub. â ËËË
ever the considerate demon of the bunch, beel gives you the most steadfast look he is capable of. âi can take the floor, MC.âÂ
you quickly shake your head in response. âbeel, i donât want you doing that here.â
âi sleep on leviâs floor whenever i fall asleep while watching him play games. itâs okay.â
a grimace forms on your face at his reasoning. âthat⌠doesnât exactly make me feel better about it.â you give the demon one more look, but when you see how determined beel is, you back down. âfine. but youâre taking the comforter.â
seemingly happy with the exchange, beel grins at you, his eyes nearly sparkling with victory. you sigh at him, but with his famous puppy-dog look, you canât stay mad. with a hand on his wrist, you pull him into the room, unaware of the way his eyes widen at your touch. eventually, the blush on his face dies, and the two of you get all your things sorted before freshening up for bed. as beel walks out of the washroom, towel draped around his neck, you tug the comforter free from the mattress, placing it at the foot of the bed.Â
the sixth born frowns at the comforter, and then at you. âyouâll get cold at night.â
you wave your hand at beel, smiling at him despite feeling the chill settle into your bones already. âdonât worry, i never get cold,â you say, hoping he buys your act.Â
the demon is reluctant, but nods and takes the comforter in the end. you watch as he sits down and spreads the fabric across himself, waiting until he finishes. when he does, you bid him goodnight, reaching over to turn off the light before curling into yourself underneath the bed sheet. it doesnât take long for you to start shivering, and you internally curse at yourself when your shaking makes the bed frame groan. silently, you pray that beel has already fallen asleep, but he does not possess the same aptitude for it as his twin. your hear him stand up, and he softly taps your shoulder before saying anything. âactually⌠can we share the bed?âÂ
you swallow your chattering, turning your head to face him, even if you canât see in the dark. âfloor isnât comfy enough?â
âitâs fine, but youâre really cold, arenât you? youâll be warmer if you have the comforter. and if iâm there too.âÂ
your heart warms at his sincerity, and you flip yourself over to wave him closer to yourself.Â
the dark serves well to hide beelâs burning face from you, and heâs glad that the lights are off right now. he swiftly throws the covers over the both of you, settling into the bed close enough that you feel his warmth, but arenât touching.
youâre confused when you hear him holding his breath, so your hand feels around the bed until you can find his.
beel nearly flies out of the bed when he feels your fingers lock with his, but itâs his hunger for you that keeps him still. âgoodnight MC.âÂ
you want to say goodnight back, but you feel lips brush over your knuckles in the dark, and you no longer have the courage to say it. instead, you tighten your grip, relaxing further until you fell asleep.
asmodeus. â ËËË
asmo practically squeals in delight, and you immediately slap a hand over his mouth to quiet him down. âthere are people in the other rooms!â you hiss, taking your hand away from his face and dragging him inside the room instead. with a sigh, you dig your fingers into your temples; but you suppose that asmo not being picky about sharing a bed is a nice surprise. âjust- go get ready for bed,â you grumble, throwing your bag into a corner before flopping down on the nearby chair.Â
âweâre gonna do skincare together after, okay MC?â you haphazardly throw a thumbs-up at asmo, waiting for him to disappear into the washroom before you gather your things.Â
surprisingly, asmo finishes his regular routine in record time, and a part of you wonders if itâs because of the fact that youâre sharing a bed. you shake the idea away, trudging into the washroom to clean yourself up. when you finish, asmo is laying all his different products out onto the desk next to the bed. you can only stare at the sight, and find a seat next to him on the bed as he debates what brand of toner to use. as soon as his decision is made, asmo places one bottle onto the desk, and the other gets thrown into his luggage. finally, he turns to you, eyes sparkling with excitement.Â
âfirst, we wash our faces with this!âÂ
you blink at the bottle in his hand. âi just washed my face with the bar of soap they gave us.âÂ
asmo looks at you incredulously, stuck feeling something between disgust and amazement at the lack of effort. âwell, youâre going to wash your face again!âÂ
the avatar of lust lives up to his name; you spend over an hour going through the perfect skin care routine until asmo finally gives the word that youâre done.Â
âthat was a lot,â you breathe out, flopping onto the bed with a relieved sigh. âyou do that every night?âÂ
the demon laughs at your question, but his answer catches you further off guard, âof course not! my routine at home is much longer. we just didnât have enough time to do all of it today. i still need my beauty sleep, MC.â you do your best to hold your expression, but you canât help the slip of shock that flickers across your face. âyou know, iâve never done this with anyone,â asmo begins. âmy brothers all run away either halfway or even before we start.â
âreally?â you turn onto your side to look at him, and asmo smiles at the gesture.
âreally. so, thanks for doing this with me.â he ruffles his hair into place as he walks to the light, switching it off before climbing onto the bed next to you. âgood night MC.â he doesnât wait for your response before pulling the blankets up to his chin. âi hope i can spend more nights like this with you,â he whispers to himself, part of him hoping you heard it, and part of him praying you didnât.
satan. â ËËË
the avatar of wrath immediately turns on his heel and walks away, stalking towards the elevator with a determined look on his face. panicked at what he might do, you snatch his wrist and yank him back towards you, matching his glare with one of your own.
âwhere do you think youâre going?â
âfront desk. iâm going to get this fixed.âÂ
you wince at the idea of satan yelling at the hotel receptionist and getting yourselves kicked out. âwhat youâre going to do, is take a shower and calm down. iâll head down and see if they can do anything, but iâm not risking you lashing out at them. got it?â
satan twitches uncomfortably at your scolding tone, but nods nonetheless. wordlessly, he marches into the room, leaving you to venture downstairs to the front desk.Â
much to your dismay, and not so much surprise, there were no more rooms with two beds available. the receptionist confirms that there was an error during the information transfer between booking sites, so you say your thanks before asking for an extra blanket and heading upstairs. when you return, satan says nothing, only giving you an inquisitive look. you shake your head in response, also remaining silent as you grab what you need to freshen up. you finish quickly, exhaustion too prominent as you realise you donât have the energy to be mad at anything. on one side of the bed, satan sits against the headboard, legs straight in front of him as he reads through a book he had bought yesterday. as you come out, his gaze follows you, eyes narrowing in confusion when he sees you grab the extra fleece blanket you got earlier and sit down on the floor.Â
âoi, what are you doing?â satanâs curiosity always has the better of him, asking questions before he can even think about it.
âyou seemed very adamant about not sharing a bed,â you reply curtly, draping the blanket over your shoulders. âso i decided iâll sleep on the floor.âÂ
âth-thatâs notâŚâ you glance up at the blonde, lips itching to smile as a blush spreads across his face. âi thought two beds would be better because i like to stay up reading, and if we share a bed, i might keep you up. thatâs all.â
you feel your heart swell, even if you know the excuse is made up on the spot to cover up his embarrassment. âiâll fall asleep easy, satan. you donât have to worry about that.â
âis that soâŚâ satan mutters to himself, weighing his options briefly before extending a hand to you. âjust get up here. my brothers would kill me if they found out i almost let you sleep on the floor.âÂ
you place your hand in his, fingers curling around his palm as he pulls you up to join him. âthanks satan,â you beam, squeezing his hand tightly before rounding the corner of the bed to the other side. he mutters something you canât hear, placing his attention back on his novel. âgoodnight,â you hum quietly, turning away from him and pulling the covers over yourself.
a few minutes later, on the verge of sleep, you feel fingers threading through your hair and hear a gentle âgoodnight, i love you,â before losing yourself to sweet dreams.
leviathan. â ËËË
âi can sleep in the bathtub.âÂ
you whip your head around to stare at levi, who is uncharacteristically serious. âcome again?âÂ
he throws his hands up in defence, against what, youâre not really sure. âitâs not like itâs different from back home.â with your jaw hanging open, you continue to stare at him. âstop making that face! whatâs wrong with sleeping in the bathtub?!â
you drag your hand down your face now, unsure if this idea is smart or stupid. âlevi, this is a hotel bathtub. you donât know who or what has been in it!âÂ
âiâll clean it with soap before i sleep,â he protests.
âthatâs besides the point!â you sigh in defeat, thinking that youâre too tired to argue about this right now. âfine, fine. but iâm casting a cleaning spell.â you see leviâs shoulders relax immediately, and you wonder why he refuses to share a bed with you in the first place.Â
the both of you finish your nightly routines rather quickly, and once you determine that the bathtub is dry enough for levi, you cast your spell on it. you watch with a frown as he clambers over the side, still mostly against the idea of sleeping in the hotel bathtub. somehow, levi catches your discomfort, and quickly slides in against the walls of the tub before saluting to you.Â
âfeels good in here,â the water demon declares, trying his best to get you to relax.Â
although it doesnât exactly work, you resign anyway, telling levi youâll be right outside if he needs you. with that, you bid him goodnight, leaving the door to the washroom ajar just in case. in the dead of the night, you last only around 15 minutes, before the guilt gets the better of you. angrily, you throw covers away from yourself, stomping towards the washroom and jerking the door open. you can only hear leviâs splutters of confusion as he flails around. you inhale sharply, flicking the light switch before locking eyes with levi and saying, âbed. now.â
levi flushes immediately, his face scarlet red with confusion and embarrassment. ây-you wonât be able to sleep if iâm there!â
âiâll fall asleep faster with you next to me instead of in this godforsaken bathtub!â
he freezes at the statement; of course, initially he wanted to share the bed, but he was too afraid of being seen as weird for wanting to do so. levi swallows his fear, pulling himself out of the bathtub just slightly. â... you mean it?âÂ
you sigh again for the nth time that night, but reach your hand out to him as you do so. âyes, levi. now please, just come to bed.âÂ
levi is reluctant, but he takes your hand in the end, allowing you to pull him away from the washroom and towards a proper sleeping surface. when you feel him sink into the mattress, you feel relief flooding your body, tiredness making its appearance now that levi is next to you. âsleep well,â you murmur, knocking out as soon as your head hits the pillow.Â
unbeknownst to you, levi does not fall asleep until at least 2 hours later, but he takes comfort in the fact that youâd rather have him by your side than far away. heâll have the courage to hold you while you sleep another day.
mammon. â ËËË
mammon peeks into the room, his face unreadable for a fleeting moment.
"guess there's no helping it. we're sharing."Â
the white haired demon spins to look at you, disbelief written across his features. "sharing?!"Â
"what about it?" you ask, exasperated. lightly, you push against one of his shoulders, turning him back around so that you can escort him into the room. the door shuts behind you with a click, and despite the room being dimly lit, you quickly notice the red dusting mammon's ears. "mammon? you don't want to share a bed with me?"Â
mammon trips on his words, fumbles with his sentences. eventually, he manages to get out an "i'll just sleep on the chair." he moves in full speed, suddenly grabbing his sleeping clothes from his bag and rushing into the washroom a second later.Â
too tired to press him about it, you let the matter go, scrolling your phone while you wait for your turn in the washroom. when mammon steps out, refreshed for the night, he pulls the chair out from under the desk, dropping himself onto it rather gracefully. you give him a look, but mammon has his eyes on everywhere except you. sighing, you give up for the second time that night. but as you head into the washroom, you tell yourself that the third time's the charm. mammon won't feel comfortable in that chair, and you don't feel great about letting him sleep there either.Â
your mind is made up, and by the time you're ready to sleep, mammon is now tucked into himself on the chair, knees pressed up against his chest as he attempts to make use of the tiny space. you wait for him to look at you, but when he does, he tears his gaze away and hides his face in the crook of his elbow. you grow soft at the sight, seeing the way his blush reaches just to where you catch it. stifling a giggle to yourself, you switch the light off, hopping up onto the bed just after. once you get comfortable, you burrow into your side of the bed, flipping over to be able to see mammon's figure in the dark.
"goodnight mammon," you call out.
it takes him a second, but he brings his face up so that he isn't muffled. "... g'night, human."Â
you smile to yourself, forgetting that mammon can see even without the light. luckily for him, you can't see the way his blush deepens, and how his gaze looks over you with such stark affection. meanwhile, you wait 15 minutes, listening to the way mammon shifts on the chair, and when you think he's also had enough of pretending to be okay with it, you call out to him again.
"mammon?"
"oh, you're awake?"
"come join me." you hear him inhale sharply, so you push yourself up onto an elbow. "i don't want you sleeping in that chair."Â
mammon feels his sin surge up, greed entering his nerves and pulling him to join you under the covers. he wants to hold back, but then he sees the way you hold the blanket up, inviting him closer with no strings attached. finally, he gives in, crawling in so that you face each other while lying down. the space between you and him is infinite, and yet, so short at the same time. mammon feels his heart jump into his throat when you cross the boundary first, your hand reaching up to scratch his chin. he relaxes instantly, and before he knows it, he's murmuring out an apology before his arms wrap around your back and tug you into his chest. to his delight, you don't pull away, instead tucking yourself closer.Â
perhaps he can be greedy for you just this once.
lucifer. â ËËË
"will you be alright by yourself?"
you blink in surprise at the question. "eh? i mean, yes, but, where are you going?"Â
lucifer places a hand on the small of your back, guiding you inside the room while he stays outside the doorway. "i'll go around the city and find a hotel with another room. after all, it would be impolite to have to force you to share a bed."Â
"wait- huh?" you squawk in confusion, turning on your heel to face the avatar of pride. you have a feeling that being impolite is just an excuse.Â
"i will text you when i've found a hotel. for now, go and clean yourself up. it's been a long day, and-"
"and that's exactly why you're staying here." you reach for the cuff of his sleeve, fingers holding tightly despite the glare you receive from lucifer.Â
the demon makes no move to tear his hand away, and instead sighs into his other one instead. "MC, really."Â
"lucifer, it's almost past midnight," you hiss, now trying to tug him into the hotel room. "you won't be finding any hotel rooms at this time, and i'll be too worried about you out there that i won't get any sleep anyway." keeping your grip steady, you pull on his sleeve again, waiting for lucifer's next move with bated breath.Â
between the look on your face and the iron grip you have him in, lucifer can only give up, begrudgingly following you into the room. to his surprise, your eyes light up when he finally agrees, and he thinks that maybe he made the right choice if you were this happy. he doesn't say much else, instead hurrying you into the washroom to wash up. once you're inside, he groans to himself; lucifer can't deny the fact that he's also somewhat elated at the situation, and yet, he can't help but feel nervous about it. the mere fact that a human like yourself has such a big impact on him has him wondering if he should have agreed to this trip in the first place. but when you come out of the washroom, ready for the night, lucifer also can't help but think that he's glad that this side of you is reserved for him on this trip.Â
you send lucifer a smile, tilting your head towards the shower to tell him it's his turn. a gentle hum makes its way towards your ears, and before lucifer disappears from sight, you see a ghost of a smile gracing his features.Â
by the time he finishes, you're already tucked into one side of the bed, scrolling your phone for text messages that you missed during the day. lucifer watches you with careful eyes; his pride is too great to admit to himself that he loves to see you so relaxed around him, but his racing heart speaks a different story. carefully, he climbs into bed next to you, waiting until your gaze matches his to speak.Â
"if you are uncomfortable at any time, please let me know."Â
"oh, please. if i'm going to be stuck in this situation, i'm glad that it's you here." you set your phone down, turning onto your side to face him. as you roll over, you reach up to brush away the hairs that have fallen onto his forehead, giggling at the way lucifer stiffens at your touch. "goodnight, lucifer," you practically sing, turning away again to leave your back exposed to the demon.
lucifer, now that you're facing away, allows himself to smile. just as you feel yourself falling asleep, he drapes an arm over your waist, pulling you close. his chest rumbles as he says his goodnight, and you fall asleep immediately in the safety of his arms.

but you come back to what you need
pairing: mephistopheles / gn! reader
fluff, tension, mephisto's usual tsun tendencies, mc annoying their way into mephisto's heart etc etc
it's not your fault you enjoy crashing at the newspaper club room for your midday breaks. it's also definitely not your fault for pretending to be asleep when he plants a gentle kiss on your forehead, so it really can't be helped that you're trying to figure out how to get more.
i finally finished it LMFAO... i am so sorry for the delay fellow mephisto lovers....
prompt based off of this tiktok reddit video, although it took its own form eventually. (please give it a listen though it's way too fucking cute)
â
"You're here again?" Mephistopheles groans, seemingly annoyed, putting his pen down as you waltz into his office at the newspaper club room. It's spaciousâ almost as big as Lucifer's study back at home. You immediately find your place at the seating couch situated at the office's side, feeling your body sink into the soft cushion.
"Previous class drained the hell out of me," you groan, watching the demon across you roll his eyes. "I have a week to list out a bunch of plants I've never heard of and their most effective usage. Potions and stuff," you continue anyway.
"Hmph," he ignores the way you blatantly disregard his posed grievance of your visit, trying to return his focus to his paperwork. "...I have some books on Devildom botany on the second shelf."
You stop yourself from laughing at his attempts at being dismissiveâ as much as he hates admitting it, you eventually figure out that he doesn't mind your daily visits; an occurence that started out of pure accident, no less.
-
[You recall the first time you barged into his office, out of breath, narrowly escaping Solomon's pure-hearted attempt of making you a surprise lunchbox. You love the sorcerer, you truly do, but you weren't in the mood to have your stomach collapsing onto itself for the next three days. You could only be thankful Simeon gave you a heads up about his plan so you could avoid him during lunch, knowing well enough of your inability to refuse.
"Do me a favor and don't let Solomon know I'm here," he didn't get a chance to retort before you dived to hide behind his chair, just in time as someone started knocking on the office door. With a huff of defeat, he grants the knocker entryâ who turned out, to be in fact, the aforementioned sorcerer.
"Mephisto, have you seen my apprentice around? I was meaning to give them homemade lunch, but they ran off right as the bell rang," clearly, the sorcerer was earnest in his actions, but even the demon could feel the malevolent aura emanating from the supposed 'lunch box'.
"No, I have not. I doubt they would come here of their own volition, more especially during break period," he quirked an eyebrow, trying to ignore the almost-vice grip you had on the back of his coat.
"Hm..." Solomon pondered for a second. "That's weird. I thought I saw them run in this direction... I must have been mistaken, then. Thank you anyway, Mephisto!" with that, the clueless sorcerer turned to leave, and it is only when you hear his footsteps fade into the hallways that you breathe a sigh of relief.
Clearing his throat, the demon looks down behind him, and you flash him a bright grin. "I owe you one, Mephisto! You're the best!" you say before quickly wrapping yourself around his back, dashing out of the office before he could say anything in return.
He's relieved you just barely miss the way his face flusters, and the small goofy smile that creeps its way to his face after he double-checks that you're out of periphery.]
-
You couldn't stop yourself from giggling at the memory while picking out the book from the shelf Mephisto directed to. It's been a few months since then, and although your visits started off sporadic, it eventually became a daily thingâ much to the demon's proclaimed inconvenience. A facade, considering no annoyed demon would start keeping an extra teacup in his office that wasn't Diavalo's spare, which just so happened to be your favorite color. Or the fact that that his record player started having your favorite music on rotationâ a complete coincidence!â he exclaimed in defense when you pointed it out one day. Or even the fact that his seating area, which once felt like a completely separate space from his work desk, was slightly rearranged so the sofa just so happened to be in a closer, more comfortable viewing and talking rangeâ not to mention the blanket draped over the backrest which also just so happened to be perfect for midday naps.
"âAnd what might you laughing about? I doubt a book on botany is hardly a comedic masterpiece," he quips, pulling your attention away from the book.
"Mmm," you shift your angle slightly to look at him better. "Just remembered something funny, is all."
Rolling his eyes, he gets up from his chair to the room's small tea station, where a pair of teacups are set out, a tray of snacks also already conveniently prepared.
"Barbatos gave me this blend the other day, it's supposed to help out with stress. I'm guessing it'll be useful for Lord Diavolo as well."
"Mhm," you nod along, your focus already returned to your botany study.
You hear him mumble an incantationâ probably some sort of heat spell to boil water, and it's not long after that he sets your cup on the coffee table, along with a select pick of snacks you usually went for first. You would've teased him about how he knows exactly which ones you go for it if not for the fact that you're fully engrossed with Devildom's botany, making steady progress on your assignment.
"Thanks!" the faint scent of something familiar hits your senses, though you couldn't quite put a name on it. "Mm, this tea is quite fragrant."
"If I recall, it's some sort of human realm fruit essence infused in the blend," he explains, taking a book from one of the shelves, sitting down across from you. "Bergamot, I think it was? I took a little sip earlier, and it's pretty good; although I expect nothing less from Barbatos."
"Ah, that's what it was. I knew it smelt familiar."
He mumbles something incoherently, though you can barely make out the words 'humans' and 'calming effects of familiar scents'. It really is laughable how he still feigns not caring.
"Done with newspaper work already? It's rare for you to take a break at this time of day," holding back a laugh at his ridiculousness, you notice a more faintly lax expression on his face.
"I'm already a bit ahead in progress, so I can afford a small break. On the other hand, I didn't think botany would catch your interest," he points out.
"Thereâs a lot of cool stuff here! I didn't think I'd enjoy researching it this much. Plants in the human realm just kinda... grow?... with some exceptions, of course," with that, you start listing off the ones you chose for your assignment, particularly enthused about plants often used for traditional and ceremonial practices.
Before long, you managed to finish more than half of your task, all that's left being to actually put it in paper. Tea drank and snacks consumed, you let out a pleased sigh before letting out a yawn and a stretch. Without a word, Mephisto stands to return both your book and his back to the shelf. This time, he pulls out a record from the display and goes to play it, which you instantly recognize as a record you recommended to him some weeks ago. Before you can bring it up, he throws a glare your way, preemptively sensing the teasing that was bound to come out of your mouth. You laugh at him instead, sparing him actual words (for now).
"Fine, fine, I'll shut up and just take a nap. Happy, newspaper boy?"
Groaning at the nickname, he walks over back to his desk. "Do whatever you want. And I already told you to stop calling me that."
"Mmhm," is all you can say, already comfortably in place with the couch blanket draped over yourself, the soft music from the phonograph combined with being filled from the tea and snacks already starting to lull you into deep relaxation. You hear Mephisto grumble something, and you notice his gaze towards you when you turned your head to look at himâ one he quickly broke, pretending he wasn't caught.
"Did'ya say something?" your eyelids grow heavy, sleep starting to take over.
"...Nothing. I'll wake you up before your next class."
"I know you will," you mumble before dreaming away.
â
You're not certain how long you dozed off, but the slight shuffling of an office chair lulled you out of dreamland. Still being sleepy however, your eyes opted to remain closed, hoping to grasp every second of slumber before your afternoon classes. They remained closed when you hear a familiar demon's grumbling noises as he threw another batch of proposal articles in the bin, and they remained close when you sense him quietly walk over to you, his form slowly leaning down over your face. He's so close that you could feel his breath tickle your nose, and you might be hallucinating it, but you think you feel his heart beating a mile a minute.
"Tsk..." you hear him huff out, fingers carefully tucking your hair off your face.
"...I'll never understand why you keep coming back to me," this time, his tone is a lot more soft, you almost didn't recognize it. Half your conscience is telling you to come clean and open your eyes, but you suck it and keep up the act, wanting to see where it goes. You just hope he doesn't notice your own heart beating a mile a minute. You sense him inch closer
"What am I saying..." he whispers to himself.
"...Please keep coming back to me."
In what felt like a blur, you feel the warmth of his lips silently land on the center of your forehead. He lingers there for a few seconds, before you feel him pull away.
Come back, is what you wanted to say, but words have left your throat, and you almost forget you're supposed to be pretending to be asleep.
"...Ugh," he huffs out again, feeling his hair tickle your neck as he lays his head next to yours in exasperation. He snaps out of it in a flash, and you think it slipped his mind that he wasn't supposed to be caughtâ so much for that anyway, you think. He walks back to his desk, mumbling to himself, and before your mind could start overthinking about what just happened, you slowly sink back into comfort, the last string of thought your mind provided was how much you wanted him to do it again.
â
You wake up fully this time, by Mephisto snatching the blanket from your sleeping formâ keep it up and you'll be late for your last class!, he chastises, and you only groan out a pleading 'five more minutes,' in response.
It's not until a few minutes after you get up that it clicksâ that wasn't a dream.
Mephistopheles really kissed you in your sleep.
Sure, it was on your forehead, but now you can't help but continue thinking about it. You thought about it as you waved him goodbye as you left the club room, you thought about it the whole time in class, and you thought about it all the way back to the HoL, where you finally let out a muffled scream as you buried your head in your pillow.
You want him to do it again. You wanted him to kiss your forehead, then your cheek, then yourâ
