"Good morning, my queen" His hand rested on his face, laying on his side as he watched me. "I have gathered that you are not a morning person, so i went through all the trouble to prepare breakfast, your uniform, lunch, bag, and there is hot water in the bath calling your name" Groggily rolling on my side and wrapping myself around him, tangling my arms around his waist burying my face in his clothed chest. "Thank you. But i'm pretty sure you broke my legs" "Don't be so dramatic" Lifting me up and carrying me in his arms, his chest vibrating from the low chuckle. A loose maroon shirt was safely wrapped around my body, covering my chest and lower region. When the steaming bath came into view, he plopped me on my feet, holding my hand to support my unsteady steps. "Do you need my assistance?" "I can bathe myself thank you" "If you say so! Just call for me when you are finished" I nodded and watched as he walked off, shutting the door behind him. Letting the shirt slip off my shoulders and drop to the ground, slowly easing my bruised body into the soothing water. I could feel all my muscles relax from their tensed state, my (H/c) hair floating around my face. My mind taking me off to somewhere else, questions raced through my head as i sat up. What happens next? What do i do? How could i allow myself to show submissiveness to him? What happened to me, i used to be so strong. I thought i threw all the worthless emotions away, but here i am. In love with what my parents tried protecting me from, married and bedded by the enemy. Something warm spilled from my face, rippling the water upon contact. My hunched form hugging my knees tighter to my chest and resting my forehead on my knees, the tears cascading down at a much faster pace.

"I'm so sorry, Mother, Father. Forgive me, i don't know what i am to do. I know you would be disappointed with me if you could see what i have become, but i love him, i finally found someone who loves me unconditionally. Why must you haunt my memories, is it wrong to want to be happy? With him?" I could no longer hold it back, the strong urge to spill my heart out and cry. My hands shooting for my eyes to block my vision, my knees still tucked to my chest.

"Ouch" His hand rested on his neck, pulling away seeing the slightest amount of blood staining his pale fingers. His thin eyebrows furrowing as he took swift steps towards the bathroom, the burning on his neck increasing in heat. Teeth gritting together as he approached the white door, his quick pace slowed upon hearing what sounded like a muffled scream coming from the girl in the room. His back was placed against the door to listen in, remaining silent and unmoved. Not understanding as to why she was crying, that is until she spoke. Her words filled with pain and dread, he brought his hand to rest on his mouth, fighting the urge to kick the door down and comfort her. She desperately needed this though, to cry without feeling judged. To be alone. He did nothing but stand and listen, the enigmatic felling in his chest swelling, driving him mad.

Expressionlessly standing and climbing out of the tub, shuddering from the cold air hitting my wet skin. I threw the towel around me and carelessly dried off, slipping on the undergarments and baggy white shirt. Not caring about myself enough to even dry my hair that was now soaking through my shirt. A few minutes passed and i found my way to the kitchen, the familiar demo-My husband happily flipping the pancakes while humming to himself. My body seemed to take all control, leading me towards him and wrapping my arms around his waist, hugging him tightly from behind. "(Y/n) dear, what is wrong?" The words refused to leave my lungs, managing to turn around in my grip and hug me back. Lifting me and placing me on the counter, his hands resting on my cheeks forcing me to look at him. "(Y/n), I love you" My arms shot for his neck, wrapping themselves around him and crying into his shoulder. "I love you too" His hand rubbed soothing circles on my back "Good, because we would have a problem if you didn't" I chuckled at his remark and wiped away the tears, "You will get sick that way" He clicked his fingers and dropped the white towel on my head, rubbing it against my wet hair as i stared over at the burning pancakes. "I don't really fancy ashes for breakfast" "No!" Laughing as he ran to the unidentifiable mixture in a panic, attempting to bring it back to life. Man, was i an idiot. I loved this man for a reason and i shouldn't doubt it, he always managed to make me smile. Pushing my weight off the counter and walking over to him, throwing the towel on the side "Here, let me do it" "You're not making it any better!" "I'm trying!" We had our little humorous squabble, getting slightly agitated at each other. "Let me teach you" His hands placed themselves on mine, his chest pressed against my back as his arms encased me, restarting the pancake over again.

Once we finally accomplished making edible food and eating it, i threw on my uniform and headed for the door. "I will see you later, Dear!" "You sound like a mother" Placing my key in the door and entering my cram class, immediately being attacked by the arms of a certain Okumura twin. "What's up Rin?" 'Do not involve Rin Okumura in our problems' His voice came back to me, but shook off the thought. "Will you stay after class? We all agreed to hang out, but wanted to invite you first" "You really want me with you guys? Are you sure?" "Hell yeah! It'll be fun" Uncertain of my answer but seeing his face gave me no choice, he was so hopeful and happy. "Sure, why not" With that he ran off in the opposite direction, jumping in his seat beside Shiemi. I took my seat and waited for the class to begin, Demonology history. If it involves demon kings, then i'm gonna ace this class.

An hour passed and class finished, fortunately for me it was about the Demon kings. I kept getting weird looks from the others because how many questions i was getting right, i looked like a nerd but what do i care. Being married to a demon king had is perks, thank you Mephisto! "Class is dismissed, see you all tomorrow" We waved Yukio off, making sure he was out of sight before sitting in a semi circle on the floor at the back of the class, to stay hidden from anyone who came in. I was seated beside Bon and Izumo, Shima placing an empty glass bottle in the middle and spinning. "Where did he get that?" "Don't even question it, he carries around a lot of random stuff" The delinquent looking guy next to me huffed, clearly annoyed at his perverted friend. Hmm. The top end pointed at Shiemi, her cheeks flushing red as she said dare. "Bold move" "Shima go easy on her" He smiled weirdly and pointed towards Rin, "I dare you to hold Rin's hand for 5 minutes" The half demon keeping quiet and locking fingers with the stuttering girl beside him, how cute. Shiemi span the bottle this time, landing on me. "Truth or dare" "Truth" "What's your last name? I forgot, sorry" I laughed watching her scratch the back of her neck with her free hand, "Dude! Why would you waste it on something like that!? Its urr, i forgot as well somehow" Pulling at his pink hair, facing me waiting for an answer. My name was no longer Iverson, I took the name (L/n), the name Mephisto gave me. But i guess now its Pheles since i'm married, "(L/n)" I lied, they couldn't know yet. "Oh yea, i thought so!" Right, shaking off Shima's comment and spinning the bottle, "Bon, truth or dare" After a few seconds of silence he finally replied. "Dare" "I dare you to full on punch Shima" konekomaru shot up calling me evil, saying he would take the hit. Bon stood up and lightly pushed him out of the way "I'll gladly hit him" Cracking his knuckles and colliding his fist into his friends stomach, his body falling backwards while holding his wounded area. "Good one" High fiving Bon as he sat back beside me, this was nice.

"I see you are all enjoying yourselves~" Oh no, everyone stiffened up at the unannounced figure stood behind me. His eyes bored into theirs, i didn't even need to turn around to know he had that sadistic smile on his face. I could feel it. "M-Mephisto, care to join" He slipped past me and budged Rin over, sitting cross legged right across from me, his full attention on me. "I would love to join this splendid game of Truth or dare! The thrill!" Placing his gloved hand on the bottle and spinning, Neko. "My dear student, truth or dare!" "Truth" "Aw that's no fun, party pooper" "Mephisto, its his choice and part of the game. Do not make him feel bad" I piped up feeling everyone freeze and stare in amazement and fear, his green eyes staring into my soul. "Righty oh! Sorry about that. Are you crushing on any other magnificent student in this classroom!" So he puts him on the spot, idiot. His grey eyes widened, immediately darting his gaze at me. "Yes" Mephisto too, noticed that he kept looking at me. His eyes darkening and frown deepening, was he jealous? Neko's small hand reached out and span the object to everyone's misery, landing on the nearly passed out Shima, still trying to recover from Bon's attack. "Truth" "Who is the prettiest girl in here?" Oh shit Neko, now hes destroying Shima. "Easy, (Y/n)" We all looked towards the sound of glass breaking, seeing the broken bottle in Mephisto's grip. "Sorry about that, guess it was a weak bottle!" Defiantly jealous. Pulling another bottle from behind his back and sweeping the shards to the side. Passing it to the pink haired boy who was being scolded by the two other girls in the room, he span the bottle and it landed on me. "Dare" An evil smirk appearing on his face, awaiting his revenge. "I dare you to sit on Mephisto's lap"
