Work Text:
You had waited a few days before talking to Satan. He had avoided everyone, stopped eating in the dining room with all of you. He just stayed in his room only leaving when he had to go to R.A.D. Before going to see him, you had talked to Lucifer and Diavolo, asking for a meeting with the two of them. It didn’t go quite as well as you thought it would have gone. You knew you were only a guest in the Devildom and didn’t have any influence but you thought you had some powers as you had a good relationship with the future King of the Devildom and the former angel.
The meeting ended with you leaving, mad at them and with tears in your eyes. You might not be able to be with Satan but you didn’t want him to be with someone he didn’t want to be with. He actually never admitted his feelings for you but before the argument with him, you felt like he was looking for comfort in you and it filled you with a bitter warmth. You decided to take the long way back to the House of Lamentation to clear your head when you bumped into Simeon, one of the exchange student from the Celestial Realm. You smiled at him when you realised who he was but when he saw your eyes red from crying his face, which was wearing a smile upon your encounter, changed into a face of concern. He grabbed your cheeks and wiped your tears away. His presence filled you with a sense of calmness which you enjoyed for a few moments. You looked up at him, still smiling “Hey Simeon”. He smiled back “Hey you” and kissed your forehead. He had warmed up to you since you both met in front of Diavolo and the others for your first day in the Devildom. He had become a reliable friend during the last few weeks and you were happy to see him right now. He knew about your growing relationship with Satan and was really supporting about it. He took you to sit down on a nearby bench and you explained everything. Simeon had always good advice about everything and he had some for this situation as well so you went back home, feeling lighter and better.
You knocked on Satan’s bedroom door. It was quiet “Satan? It’s me. Are you in there!” There was silence then you heard a boom and a “go away”. You nodded to yourself. Clearly, he was still not ready to talk to you so you went back to your room and went to sleep. The next day, you woke up early and prepared some food for you and Satan and went to his bedroom. This time you didn’t knock and just opened the door. You put on your brightest smile, tray in your hands, “Good morning Satan! I hope you slept well!” And you sat down on his bed then put the tray on his night table. He opened one eye and you heard him groan. You shook him slightly on the shoulder “Satan? You know I am risking my life by waking you up. I’ll wait for you to wake up properly but I am not leaving your room until we speak and we eat breakfast.” So you waited. He mumbled something and turned his back to you. You smiled to yourself, he wasn’t going to kill you that was a good first step. You waited again then finally he turned around and looked you up. You could see his bright eyes thanks to the moon that was full. He sat up and turned his bedside lamp on. “How did you you manage to walk around without any lights on?” You shrugged. “I was lucky, I guess” You were glad that he took your intrusion into his sleep and room so calmly. He took the tray and set it on the bed between the two of you so you could also eat. “What did you want to talk about?” You stared into his eyes, trying to see if really he didn’t know or he was just testing you. You decided for the latter. “You have been MIA for the last few days for dinner. What’s up?” He smirked, he knew you knew “I couldn’t bear to see Lucifer.” You hummed “I see” he ate a forkful of breakfast “Did you miss me?” You chuckled “I might have.” He nodded, happy with your answer and carried on eating. You started to pick at your food while thinking about what to say next but he interrupted your thoughts process. “Is it really what you wanted to tell me or ask me?” You blushed slightly. Of course, it wasn’t but you weren’t sure what to say. “Maybe” you shrugged. He chuckled and you smiled at him. He looked like the Satan you started to fall in love with. So you chatted about the last few days.
After your breakfast with Satan, you left and got ready to go to RAD. You heard a knock on your door when you were about to leave your room so you opened the door. The Avatar of Wrath was standing there, a sheepish look on his face, “Hey, would you mind walking with me to RAD.” Your heart skipped a beat and you felt the heat creeping up your cheeks but you agreed anyway. So you walked to RAD, next to each other, talking as if nothing never happened. You were so happy to have your Satan back that you forgot why you had argued in the first place but you got reminded of it when Lucifer saw the two of you talking and he looked at you with a concerned frown. You stopped talking and stayed silent for a while and Satan stopped walking and grabbed your arm. “What’s wrong?” You inhaled deeply, trying to fight the tears back. “Nothing. Just got reminded of something” He started to say something but got interrupted by Lord Diavolo. “Satan, good morning, I would like to talk to you after classes.” Satan’s mood changed and walked away from you. You lowered your head as Lord Diavolo also left after telling you to have a good day and you started to walk towards your class. After your class ended, you tried to look for Satan in the hallways but you couldn’t see even a strand of his blond hair. You had a couple of classes with him so you hoped you could talk to him but when he arrived, he stared at you and sat down next to someone else. You sighed with disappointment, you couldn’t understand why he acted like that but you shrugged it off and waited for him to have the meeting to know what was that all about. The day went by quickly and you walked home with the other brothers. You knew Satan had to stay behind but you couldn’t help and look around to see him, in vain of course.
You were in your bedroom, studying, when you heard the front door opened and closed. It was quietly done so you imagined it was one of the brothers going out but after a few seconds there was a knock on your door. You couldn’t be bothered to go up and open it so you just shouted for the person to enter. You turned around and gasped as you weren’t expecting Satan. You thought he would have entered the House of Lamentation by destroying the front door and everything around but he was standing there, calm with a blank expression on his face. He sat down on your bed and patted the duvet next to him as a sign for you to come over so you followed his silent order. You tried to read his body language but it didn’t give you anything so you waited anxiously for him to talk. He cleared his throat “I have met the demon I am supposed to date.” You nodded but didn’t say anything. “They seem quite nice.” You nodded again. “I talked a bit with them, one of their hobbies is reading.” You nodded, this time tears started welling up in your eyes. He put his hand on yours as he looked at you and saw your eyes. “I have a date with them tomorrow evening.” Again, you nodded and whispered “okay”. He grabbed your chin slowly “Is that all you are going to say?” You looked up in his eyes and saw hurt in them. You chuckled dryly “Why are you so calm?” This time, he chuckled. “I am also surprised. I don’t really know. Maybe it’s because I’ve met them or maybe because I was going to see you?” You frowned. “What?” He lowered his head so his forehead could touch yours. “I am confused so I tried to not let my anger get the better of me. I had a long discussion with Lord Diavolo and he explained how the whole thing works. Why I had to have a relationship with a demon from a powerful family as do all my brothers and I couldn’t do anything about it. So I swallowed my anger and decided to see you and talk to you about it.” Still it didn’t make any sense to you, you were friends but you didn’t think that what you thought about it was important. “Why would you talk about it with me. It’s pretty clear that is done and my opinion won’t change anything.” He leaned back and shook his head while closing his eyes as if he was annoyed. “You don’t get it, do you?” He stood up and left your room without another word. You started to get tired of his mood swings but you stood up and closed the door he had left open while exiting the room. You went back to your studies trying to forget about the conversation.
You had fallen asleep on your desk when your alarm woke you up. It startled you and it took you a few seconds to understand what was going on. You laughed at yourself and grabbed your phone to stop the alarm. You noticed the notifications on your phone but didn’t think to check them as you needed to change and get ready for breakfast. You were about to leave your room when you heard a loud squeal. You stepped outside your room and looked around. You saw Asmo waving around his phone and screaming “I can’t believe it!” So you took a look at the notifications and you froze. You could barely breathe. It has been made official, during the night apparently, that Satan was dating someone from one of the oldest families in the Devildom. You were curious about what they looked like and when you looked at the picture your heart shattered. You thought everyone you had met in the Devildom were the most beautiful beings but this demon was something else. You knew, for sure, that you couldn’t compete with that. You looked at Asmodeus and he smiled at you then ran to the breakfast room. He talked about the post online while you were silent. Satan kept stealing glances at you, trying to catch your gaze but you kept your head lowered. You suffered in silence while they keep asking questions to Satan. You left the table before everyone and went outside. You sat on a bench that was near the House. You had been there for a few minutes when Satan sat next to you. “How are you feeling?” You turned your head to look at him. “I’m okay.” He was staring in front of him. “Really?” You agreed. “Yes, of course”. He looked at you, anger in his eyes. “What do you think about me dating that demon?” You looked away and started to play with your fingers. “Nothing in particular and I don’t think my opinion matters anyway.” He grabbed your hands so you would stop playing with them. “It does to me.” You took a deep breath and looked back at him. “Why?” He brought one of your hands on his cheeks then kissed your palm. You blushed at that. “You are important to me. I’ve developed feelings for you and I have the feeling that it is reciprocated. If you do and you don’t want me to date that demon then I will fight for it to happen.” Tears started to fall down on your cheeks and Satan’s hand but he didn’t seem to care. Your breath was caught in your throat and you couldn’t speak. He leaned in closer to you, staring intensely into your eyes. “Please, say something”. You sobbed uncontrollably, all your emotions you had bottled up was now overflowing and you couldn’t stop them. He wrapped his arms around you and held you close to him, kissing your hair. You had your head on his chest, tight fists clenched around his jacket. Your tears stained his sweater but you didn’t care as you were listening to his heartbeat and slowly it started to calm you down. He rocked your bodies back and forth until you calmed down. Slowly, you relaxed against the warmth of his body and the calm he was radiating. You sniffled and let out a long breath. “What would happen if you don’t date them?” He chuckled while caressing your hair. “Actually, I don’t know. I might need to speak to Lord Diavolo about that. Would that be okay with you?” You nodded silently, head still pressed on his chest.
It was time to leave for RAD. You had gone quickly to the bathroom to splash some water and to try to make you look like you haven’t been crying. When you arrived at RAD, everyone was looking at Satan and whispering. So, everyone knew. You lowered your head and went on your day as usual. The next few were uneventful, you still spent some time with Satan but he never talked about his dates with the other demon or if he had talked to Diavolo about it. You didn’t want to ask so you wouldn’t suffer anymore than you were already. One day, you received a text message from Lord Diavolo, which surprised you as you were in class but you read it anyway.
*Come and see me after your class.*
That was it. You started to fidget on your chair anxious about what you had done. The few minutes that was left felt like an eternity. You packed up your books and headed towards Diavolo’s office. You met Satan there, he had a big smile on his face and you frowned at that, anxiety creeping up. Satan knocked on the door and you heard a muffled “come in”. You opened the door and saw Lord Diavolo standing up with a huge smile on his face. “Please come in and sit down!” Your frown was still on your face as you didn’t understand what was going on but you obeyed silently. Satan followed you, a hand on the small of your back and the smile still on his face. Once sat down, you looked at both of them waiting for one of them to talk. Diavolo also sat down. “Thank you for meeting with me. I have good news.” You turned your head to the Avatar of Wrath, he was still smiling but you still stayed silent. “Satan and I and also Lucifer managed to convinced the House of Lords that Satan doesn’t need to date a demon from a powerful family but that he should date you, the human exchange student to strengthen our bonds between the two realms. It took a lot of hours of talking and compromising but we finally managed it!” You took a few moments to understand what he was saying and your eyes widened suddenly at the realisation. You stopped breathing and looked at Satan whose smile turned into a huge grin. He looked back at you and nodded slightly as if to confirm what had just been said. Diavolo chuckled “You don’t have anything to say?” You stared at him, still silent. You let out the breath that you were holding in and started to shake slightly. You blinked a few times “I.. I don’t know what to say?” Diavolo let a loud laugh out and you heard Satan chuckled next to you. The latter took your hand in his. “Do you realise what it means?” You looked at your hands intertwined and nodded, eyes shining with unshed tears. You stood up and left the room without saying anything. You were So not ready to hear that, you didn’t know how to react. You could hear footsteps following you but your thoughts were overwhelming you that you didn’t care. There was still a lot of people around when you arrived at the front of RAD and that’s when you realised. You could date him, it was allowed, it was expected and the more important you would not suffer any consequences and you stopped suddenly. Someone bumped into you and you turned around, hoping that it was Satan. The Avatar took a step back, confused by your sudden stop. You looked at him, a smile spreading slowly upon your face. He smiled back at you and you took a step closer then, finally, you threw your arms around his neck, jumped on him as he caught you with his hands under your thighs. He let you kiss him as you slowly approached your lips to his. When your lips touched, you could hear gasps and whoops coming from all over you but they soon faded away when Satan deepened the kiss by moving one arm under your thighs and one hand on your neck.
