Prompt 7: Mysterious Mirror
Fandom: Obey Me!
Pairing: Satan x Simeon
“That mirror shows you the deepest desire in your heart. Or so they say,” The shop owner said. “It isn’t for sale of course, but it attracts a decent amount of prospective customers. Take a look for yourself.” He sounded bored.
Satan wound through the cluttered antique shop and approached the large mirror. His eyes flickered up to the words inscribed along the top border. “Mirror of Erised.” Satan pondered it for a moment before chuckling. What a silly joke. Then he looked into the mirror and nearly jumped. There stood Simeon--standing right next to him. Satan turned around. But Simeon was nowhere to be found.
Satan faced the mirror again. Mirror Simeon smiled and wrapped his arms around Satan’s shoulders and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Satan’s eyebrows rose and he blushed. He raised his hand, and his respective hand in the mirror moved as well. Satan placed his hand on his shoulder, right where Simeon would have his. He was only touching his shoulder of course. But in the mirror, Satan grasped Simeon’s hand. Mirror Simeon’s eyes sparkled and he nuzzled his cheek into Satan’s.
A warmth filled Satan’s chest. He swallowed. Oh, how he desperately wished the mirror could tell the future.
Mirror Simeon raised one of his hands in a half-heart. Satan flushed. He surely hoped the shopkeep wasn’t looking at him. He raised his hand to Simeon’s to complete the heart. Mirror Simeon nearly hopped in delight, and Satan grinned despite the pang in his chest. If only he could record this moment. Just for himself to watch on his DDD whenever he got lonely.
Because Simeon would always be Lucifer’s, and Satan, a mere reflection.
