Vox Akuma x Nun! Reader
Note: I was not being serious while writing this, I just had to spend time doing something while the wifi was acting up. Idk what this oneshot is, really.
"What led me to this point in my life?.." you questioned yourself as you stared absentmindedly at the altar. Your fingers found a mind of their own as you "counted" your way through the rosary, keeping up with the other nuns reciting the prayers out loud; however, your mind was somewhere else.
"Was it really a calling?..or do I just really crave attention and my family's validation?..."
You contemplated the moment you announced your wish to join the church and the surprised look on your parents' faces, making it seem as if they doubted your decision all along.
"Where would I be if I chose the call center instead of this-"
"Sister y/n.." Sister Rose coughed out, bringing you out of your thoughts and back to reality.
"huh?" was all you could reply, feeling a sense of embarrassment wash all over you as you processed what was happening. All the other nuns look at you as they sit in silence.
"huh?.." you blurted out again as you looked around. The safest option to crawl out of this awkward situation would be to recite any random prayer that pops up in your mind,
and so you did it mindlessly.
"Hail Mary, full of grace-"
"Hail holy queen, mother of mercy.." Sister Rose quickly corrected you, taking a hint of your carelessness and being the kindest person on earth to help you out of humiliation. You mentally punched yourself in the face for failing to realize the entire prayer would soon be finished as you let yourself drift away with your thoughts.
You silently thanked the Lord, and the other nuns just brushed it off
...
as it wasn't your first time making the same mistake during prayer.
-
"I am not one to gossip, but there has been some..interesting news.." Sister Rose whispered out of the blue with a tiny giggle.
You looked over at her as you both cleaned up the library. She moved closer to you, leaning her trunk sideways to whisper something to you.
"People have been saying a..strange..man has been seen in this town."
"Should we pray for him?" A strange man in town was nothing new to you, so you asked, what you thought was the most appropriate question to ask.
"If it is necessary, yes. But..people have said he's not human.." She looked at you with a smirk, probably waiting to get a scared reaction out of you.
"Is this another case where a random man convinces people that he's Jesus? or-"
"No! Goodness, Sister y/n, would you allow me to finish first?"
"I'm sorry.." You quickly apologized, even though a part of you felt like this story would just be another typical supernatural rumor to scare the town folks, which you thought was corny.
"People have said he is a demon.."
"...Christ, we'd need everyone's help to pray for this man then." You rolled your eyes at what you thought was a feeble joke.
"I am not saying I believe it completely, but if the people are afraid of that man lurking around town...It's enough to convince you that he might not be human after all." Sister Rose shrugged as she let out a faint laugh, knowing you were not the gullible type.
"Poor thing. He probably visited our town for a vacation, and now the public calls him a fiend." You chuckled as you got back to dusting the book shelves.
"Here's a picture...you tell me what you think he is." She handed you a newspaper before you looked at her with an unamused expression on your face. This woman really just read this garbage of news from the daily paper.
The man in the picture had pitch black, shoulder-length hair. For a demon, he was properly groomed and formally dressed. His pale skin made yellow pupils stand out more.
The man was a beautiful creature..
and it would take a crowd to beat you up for you to admit that.
"..well?.. what do you say?.." Sister Rose questioned, studying your facial expressions for an answer as you admired his picture.
"..thank you, Lord."
was all you could say in your mind.
"You're telling me this is a demon? In what world?" You played it off like you were uninterested in such childish tales.
Sister Rose laughed at your response, snatching the paper out of your hand and stacking it along with the others to be put away.
"Oh y/n, you really are something else, aren't you?"
"I am not a demon, that's for sure." You cracked another joke, slightly smiling at yourself.
-
"That would be all of it...I think." You chuckled as you helped carry the last box of library books into the van to be given out to the local schools.
"Thank you so much, sister." the driver said with a smile.
"Hey, it's no problem- Uh I mean... it's my pleasure." You chuckled again, giving a bashful smile as you watched him get in the van before driving off.
The day had been draining for you, and the feeling of wanting to just flop onto your bed was taking over your body. You yawned into your hand as you walked up to the entrance when you were stopped in your tracks by a voice.
"Good evening, sister." A deep, velvety voice came from behind you, making you jump slightly.
"Oh Jesus!" You yelped out, placing your hand over your rapidly beating heart as you turned towards the source of the voice.
"Pardon me. I did not mean to scare you like that." He spoke again.
Your heart felt like it stopped the second you laid eyes on him, as flashbacks of your little gossip with Sister Rose replayed themselves in your mind. You were just admiring his face through a picture hours ago, and now, seeing him in person has made you realize his picture did not do him justice.
"Let me try again. Good evening, sister.." He repeated himself once again, looking deep into your eyes, almost as if he were looking for an answer.
Was it normal for nuns to feel some sort of way toward attractive men? It is one of the things that could not be helped, as it was a normal human reaction. What wasn't a normal human reaction would be yours, as you immediately replied
"Peace be upon you, brother."
Seriously...
What led you to this point in your life?
