You were struggling with the classes at RAD. You were smart but if a subject wasn’t interesting you got bored easily. You still listened and would remember things but you would daydream a lot. In one of those classes, you were sitting next to Satan. He could see that this subject was boring you then he wrote a note that he passed to you
Shall we make this interesting ?
You were surprised that Satan was actually interacting with you even with a piece of paper. He had never really talked to you since you had arrived in the Devildom. He would simply say hello to you but never had a conversation with you but you read the note anyway and looked at him with an eyebrow raised. You watched him as a smile crept up on his face, slowly becoming really cute. You looked back down at the paper and wrote back an answer even though you weren’t sure what he was talking about.
Yes!
You passed it back to him and you heard him chuckle. He wrote again and you leaned against him to read.
Meet me after class at the library.
You looked at him and nodded with a smile on your face.
The day went by quickly and you ran to the library. Satan was already there with a lot of books in front of him. “Hey! You came!” He smiled beautifully at you as if that was possible. You sat down next to him. “So what’s going on?” He turned his head to look at you. “I could see you got bored during some classes so I thought we could make them more interesting.” You blushed, you thought you were careful but he noticed. “Ok and what do you suggest?” He smiled wider. “Everytime you act interested in those classes you get a treat, anything you want and if you don’t, we will study the subject all night ‘till you get it.” You laughed and shook his hands. So that’s what you did for the following weeks, listening to the professors in those subjects and you could see that you improved a lot in them so sometimes you would act as if you didn’t care and talk to him. You enjoyed spending time with the Avatar of Wrath. He gave off this strange calming vibe that was really comforting. The treats you chose were easy, you wanted time with him so it was for him to take you out to some places you both liked.
You would spend all your free time with him and everyone thought you were dating. You slowly developed a crush on him though. You liked his attention and his gentlemanly manners. He was sweet and understanding, although he never tried to get past your boundaries which you were grateful for. You were too shy to eventually tell him how you felt and you didn’t want to ruin those times together but sometimes you felt like he might reciprocate those feelings. He was always in your personal space or touching you in some way; knee touching yours, hand on your shoulder or arm. You didn’t want to feed into these fantasies but you couldn’t help it that he was sweeping you off your feet.
One day, you were going to the Demon Lord’s Castle as you had been invited by Diavolo for a tea party. When you arrived, you knocked on the door and Barbatos opened it then let you in. He led you outside on the terrace where you sat down as he told you that Lord Diavolo wouldn’t be too long. You nodded and waited. You could hear voices and looked around. There was a window open, you guessed it was Diavolo’s office. “They all need mates, Lord Diavolo and if you need more to be convinced it will help you strengthen your position as future King.” You heard Diavolo mumbled something but couldn’t understand. “We haven’t found a mate for all of them but we found one for Satan. You need to tell him as soon as possible so they can meet.” You heard them say their goodbye then left. You were struggling to contain your emotions. You weren’t dating him but you thought it was on the right track and now it would be impossible. Diavolo arrived with a strained smile, he looked tired and you stood up to give him a quick hug. You spent the rest of your time talking about anything else but what you heard.
The next few days, you spent less time with Satan, you could see he was hurt but he didn’t try to ask you why, he knew you would eventually tell him until one evening, you were chilling alone in your room. You were listening to some music and scrolling on Devilgram when Satan entered. You gasped as he startled you and you looked at him. You finally understood why he was called the Avatar of Wrath. Eyes shining bright, a dark aura surrounding him, fury written all over his beautiful face. You froze, you didn’t know what to do and you didn’t want to antagonise him even more by doing or saying something wrong. “Can you believe it?!” He got closer and you were still frozen. “I cannot!” Now he was standing right in front of you so you had to look up. Fury was still on his face but his eyes softened when he looked at you. You smiled a bit and slowly his anger faded. He plopped down on you and laid his head on your chest then wrapped his arms around your waist. Surprised by the sudden touches you didn’t move and his grip tightened. You carded your hand on his hair and softly scratched his scalp. The dark aura disappeared a few seconds after your scratches and you revelled in the quiet and kind of intimate moment. You inhaled deeply “What’s going on, Satan?” He sighed. “Lucifer…” He groaned “Lucifer told me that I needed to court some powerful demon to help Lord Diavolo.” Your chest constricted at his words “Yeah, I know.” He got his head off your chest to look at you, a frown on his face. “You knew?” You nodded and looked away. “I heard about it when I was having tea at the castle.” He stood up, the dark aura coming back. “You didn’t tell me?! Is that why you avoided me?!” His voice strained to not erupt in anger. “Yes” His eyes flashed bright, anger filling him completely. He opened the door and left you there while destroying everything on his path.
You were still on your bed, frozen. What more could you do?
