Demon!England x Reader: Deal (Part six)

  You talked and talk for hours until the party was over. Pride had to go to do something quickly and you waited with Greed, Envy, and Sloth.

  "I wish you were mine.." Greed said. You looked up at him. Sloth was asleep right now, snoring quietly. Envy looked over at Greed.

  "Ivan, remember. Arthur will get very angry with you if he hears that you took [Name]. And if Ludwig won't do it, he will kill you." Greed nodded, coming back to his senses.

  "It's just.. Not fair," Greed said. "Why does he get it all? Why can't I have her? Why can't I have you, [Name]?" This talk was beginning to make you uncomfortable. From where Ludwig was watching, he could see that you were uncomfortable. He had been listening to the whole thing and glared at Ivan. He walked closer to you three, sitting right next to you.

  "It might not be fair, Ivan," Ludwig started. "But he is our leader, and besides... You would just forget about her unless you were at a party," he finished calmly.

  "And do you see the way he looks at her?" Feliciano asked them. "It's true love," he smiled at you. "Love that none of us can ever match," he nodded. You gave him a smile as if you say "Thank you". Then you heard Arthur calling you to come with him. You had to go home now. But you were still curious.

  "Do you guys hate me?" You asked. They looked surprised for a moment but shook their heads. "And," you said before pausing. "See you guys later?" you looked hopeful. Ludwig chuckled.

  "Of course! We're.." Sloth paused to yawn. "Friends," he said. You smiled and nodded, before hearing Arthur call you again. He sounded a bit impatient now.

  "I'm coming!" you said, annoyed. As you ran off Wrath chuckled once more.

  "They're so adorable.." Feliciano smiled softly, before drifting off to sleep again.
-----------------------

  "Aren't they so cool?" you asked when you appeared in Pride's home. He shook his head.

  "They're an embarrassment," he scoffed. You could tell he was getting jealous again.

  "But they're still cool," you replied. He narrowed his eyes at you. He turned away from you coldly.

  "Why don't you go with them if you think they're so cool?" he asked.

  "Just because I think they're cool, doesn't mean that they're as cool as you," you said, pouting. He turned towards you, slightly surprised. You seemed to be surprising him every day. Maybe that was a good thing, seeing as it had gotten quite boring before you had come along. A lot had changed in a little over a week.

  "You know? Because they aren't as cool as you," you said to him. That made him grin. There was nothing he liked more than having his ego stroked, especially by the person he liked the most. He was especially happy now.

  "So, have you decided whether or not you want to be here or back at home yet?" you could tell he was a bit impatient, because he wanted the answer now. You made the motion of "zipping your lips". This made him frown slightly, but he brushed it off quickly.

  "Don't worry, I'll make you want to stay," he said. In one movement he captured your wrists, pressing a soft kiss to your lips. He was really holding back, seeing as he wanted to do so much at the moment. But he had to keep himself under control. At least until he knew that you wanted to stay with him. Because if there was anything he could do about it, he'd make you love it here. Everything was fair when it came to demons like him.

  You pulled away from him and the kiss, shaking your head.

  "You can try, but I can't guarantee that I'm going to give into it," you said defiantly. That made him narrow his eyes and then chuckled at your confidence. you could be as defiant as you wanted, but something told him that you would give in to him. After all, he was quite the irresistible demon. He wouldn't force you to love him if you didn't, but for some reason he just knew that you had to feel that way for him. You just had to! Why else would you have made that deal? He refused to think that you pitied him, because he thought he was just too cool for that kind of thing.

  "Whatever you say, love," he smirked. He'd let you have your little fun for now. But when it got closer to the day the deal results come in, he'd have to get more serious. He had to show you why it was worth it to be with him.
------------------------------

  As two weeks passed, you got to go around the demon world more. But you still had to be careful since you weren't marked. If you didn't have a mark of any kind that meant that you were open to have any mark put on you by any demon. And not all demons took humans in order to show that they loved them. But you saw many great places like the shop. It actually looked more like the human work than you'd thought. It wasn't as dark as you had thought.

  You learned that this was where the demons lived and worked. They had adapted their ways from centuries of observation up in the human world. The demons looked like all sorts of different things. Some looked red tinted with horns. Some had tails, wings, extra limbs, or other easily recognizable traits that made them stand out. Most were kind to the humans that were carried around, but there were still some rather rude demons.

  He had given you plenty more reasons why you should stay with him, and you knew that he wasn't going to give up. You were glad to have learned many things. He was what had made you believe in these things, and you were kind of grateful for that. Had he not taught you about these things, you would remain a skeptic that only thought they were mere stories. Your life would be boring if you hadn't met him. You owed him that at least.

  Some days were spent just relaxing out in the field. No matter how many times you tried to figure out what was so familiar, you couldn't quite place it. But you didn't cry as much. Sometimes you couldn't help it. It was much too overwhelming and you couldn't process all of it at once. Those times he'd hold you and say that it would be okay, or that there was nothing that you had to worry about because he was right there for you. He was what comforted you.
---------------------------

  One day you woke up, and he was still there. You smiled softly. He was quite cute when he slept. He tried to keep from touching you, mostly because he didn't want to make you nervous or anything. Today was not one of those days, because he had his arm on you. He was grinning unconsciously. You tried not to wake him up, so you carefully slid out of bed. Little did you know he was a light sleeper. He could feel every movement you made.

  You looked around and sighed quietly. One more week left, and you could physically feel yourself falling in love with the demon. He was so full of himself, respectful, easily jealous, and kind. He was a great demon in your opinion, but you were falling in love with him. Everything about him was wonderful though! Everything from his looks to his personality. You wished it was different though.

  You noticed that the picture had been changed back to what he had it to after the girl and him. The picture was now laying there again. You walked over to the dresser and replaced the picture. Arthur shook his head as he stood from the bed. He walked up to you until he was behind you.

  "So you've been messing with my picture?" he asked. You felt shivers down your spine. "How come?" you turned to him. But he wasn't mad. In fact, he had a curious smile on his face. You shrugged at him.

  "I don't know.. It just.. Looks better!" you said. He tilted his head, not fully understanding. "Well... You look so happy in this picture. I.. Like seeing you happy, because around your demon friends, you look so irritated and mad. This is a nice picture, because I can see that you're happy with her. That you love her."

  "You mean loved her," he said.

  "Huh?" you asked.

  "I loved her once. Then she cheated on me, and I left her," he sounded a bit sad. You looked down, feeling stupid.

  "Oh, I'm sorry.." you told him. He shook his head.

  "It was her loss, I guess. Besides, if I had stayed with her I wouldn't have met her- you wouldn't have met me!" He grinned. You shook your head and chuckled.

  "So, you want another reason that staying here is better than going back to your house?" he asked. You sighed.

  "Sure, Arthur."
-------------------------------

  The two of you sat in the field the next day, looking out over the side of the hill. There was a lake with ducks just swimming about, trying to catch food.

  "So, [Name]..." he looked over at you. You looked at him in return.

  "Yes?" you asked after a minute.

  "As you know, it's less than a week that this deal is wrapped up," he started.

  "... And?"

  "That means that I want to make your life as easy as possible. Because I want to show you why I deserve to have you. Why you're worthy of someone as awesome as me." You mentally facepalmed at his over egoistic behavior.

  "So tell me what will make you want me more!" he blurted. You looked at him before bursting out into laughter.

  "I'm sorry, but you're going to have to figure that out for yourself," you said and smirked. He looked at you with slight disbelief, and then impatience. you smirked at him. Your defiance was really starting to irritate him.

  "Fine." He stood and glared at you before walking off. Little did he know that his determination to please you was all that you needed to realize that he was perfect for you. He just didn't know it yet. And you were okay with that! As long as he didn't give up, he was going to be okay. At first you'd thought that this would only amuse him, but you found yourself thoroughly amused! Maybe more so than him.
-----------------------------------

  He gave you different foods and drinks to see what you like the most. No matter how much you liked certain ones, you kept a rather bored look on your face. Sometimes he took you to different places, like the mall or the park. You tried not to look like you favored certain things more than others. He would do everything he could until he finally snapped. He left you at the house to go talk to a few of the other sins: Wrath, Lust, and Sloth. He had do to whatever he could, seeing as he only had two days left.

  He told them his whole situation and Wrath grinned. Lust smirked and Sloth snored.

  "It seems as if you 'ave a defiant one on your 'ands," Francis said.

  "Maybe you should punish her?" Wrath asked. Francis and Wrath argued over their different ideas of what to do for awhile until Sloth finally woke up from the commotion. He could only ignore them for so long. Now he was getting tired of the unnecessary noise that didn't seem like it would stop for awhile.

  "Ve, what did you want to know?" Feliciano asked Arthur. Arthur looked down at the other man and sighed.

  "[Name] is being defiant, trying to keep me from making her realize that she is better off here with me!" Arthur complained. Feliciano nodded as if he understood.

  "Maybe you should keep trying? Some women like determination, diligence towards goals... Ugh, too much work in my opinion, but it might work in your case. Don't worry about her reaction, just try your best. If she doesn't like you by the end of the week then she's not right... For you," he said. Who knew that Sloth could be such good help? Who knew that he was the best advice giver of the group? No one, because he was usually too lazy to say anything.

  "Why did you help me? I thought you liked sleeping more.." Arthur trailed off.

  "Well, normally that would be it! Ve, but when I.. Look at you, I can't help but to see all of the love and admiration you have for her. I see that you're proud of her, and you'd do anything for her. Even against your own sin. You deserve at least some.. Decent advice," he smiled at Arthur. Arthur couldn't help but to smile.

  "Now.. If you'll do something for me," Feliciano requested. Arthur nodded at him. "Please, shut them up for me," he said. Arthur was surprised at his bluntness, but obliged. Once they quieted down Arthur thanked them.

  "I have figured out what I need to do now," Arthur explained. "So now I will take my leave," he said. He stood up and left the room. He would try his best.. For [Name].
