Dancing With Demons (Obey Me!) fic

content: established relationships, casual fluff stuff, romance too

The past few weeks had been spent in preparation for this formal ball in the Demon Lord's Castle. An official welcome to several of the new Fae residence in the Devildom and new students of Fae lineage at RAD. The Avatars of Sin in attendance as well as their pact human. While Solomon and Thirteen were doing their best to remain in the shadows and avoid attention. Simeon and Luke sitting at the same table as Diavolo and Adelha as Barbatos watched the room. Things were going rather well as Adelha acted as overseer to any Fae that approached to speak with Diavolo. While Adelha's own family clan of Fae mingled with the demons and vampires. Adelha had spotted her cousin Verne already making strides in befriending Asmodeus over playful banter. While Adelha's clan leader and adopted guardian spoke at length with Lucifer. Eugene Currier taking a moment to turn his gaze to Adelha and give her his best smile. Which she returned with the same abiding love before Luke asked Adelha another question.

The formal ball was going splendidly for Adelha to finally be asked to dance. Her gaze going up to Barbatos to gladly place her gloved hand in his own. Her seat soon taken by her closest family member and teacher, Claude Gaugain. His muscular frame easing into the chair to have him speak with Simeon on his latest book he was writing. So Adelha walked with Barbatos onto the dance floor with little worries to be swept away into the next song the band began to play. Barbatos leading with perfect steps for Adelha to follow as the demon spoke, "To think that I would get the first dance with you tonight. I am so glad to have such an honor, Margaret." The Dragon maiden chuckled to let Barbatos all but float them across the dance floor. Her smile warm and inviting. "Please. The honor is mine to have you all to myself, Barbatos. If only for now. I know dealing with the fiasco in the kitchen last week had to be stressful." Barbatos gave a sigh to flinch ever so slightly. "To think the whole order I placed was ruined by some accidental mix up of where the crates were placed. I'd think someone sabotaged the delivery for some reason." Adelha huffed to let Barbatos give her a twirl. Her voice even and sweet. "I would say that is exactly what occurred. The Fae do so love their games and tricks to savor pranks and mischief. Hence why I offered to help replace the delivery. In case a Fae really had decided to pull something."

Barbatos visibly considered such to smile as he hummed in thought. "I see. Here I was under the impression the House of Lords might have been involved as well. Or we might assume they were in cahoots with some of the Fae. The possibilities all but beg for an investigation. But that may come later. Let us simply be grateful that everything worked out." Adelha nodded to then give a laugh when Barbatos swept her right off her feet for the next twirl. The two dancing all through the next two songs before Lucifer stepped in. So Barbatos bowed out to let Adelha and Lucifer have the next dance. The butler instead sweeping Adelha's cousin Alma into a dance as Diavolo did the same for Alma's twin sister Agrias. Lucifer took Adelha by the hands to bring her into his embrace. His wings giving a shiver as he hummed in pure contentment. "Ah. The fragrant scent of lavender and the ocean depths. Perfect for a sea dragon that loves to garden. I must say I am quite fond of such, Margaret." Adelha blushed to huff a laugh. "Hence why you've moved a pot of lavender flowers into the House of Lamentation right next to your room. Not very subtle, Luce. But I am glad you decided to sweep me away for a dance. I wanted to make sure you healed after that fight with the rather rude Fae who attacked you."

Lucifer gave a half smirk to sweep Adelha around and chuckle at her. "My my. I can assure you that I am completely fine. Three iron dwarves and two fire djinn are little trouble for me to handle. So why would you think to worry, Margaret?" Adelha makes the point by tracing her hand at Lucifer's shoulder down to his side to give it a rather hard pinch. Which has Lucifer visibly wince to growl out in pain as he turns them so no one might see. Making Adelha huff out and wash healing magic over the hidden damage as she lightly scolds him. "The fact that you are faintly scented of burned flesh and pain was a dead give away. Add in your breath kept hitching and your heart rate is elevated equals to you still being hurt from what those five fools did." Lucifer glares at Adelha to give a low growl from deep in his chest. Bringing her all the closer to whisper in her ear. "Bold little dragon. I will pay you back for that, Margaret Joanna Adelha Mathilde. Mark my words. You are dancing with danger far too casually."

Adelha openly laughs with both warmth and evident amusement as the two of them move about the dance floor with the others. "So he says in a formal ball full of demons and Fae and powerful sorcerers and other deadly folk. And they say you don't have a sense of humor, Lucifer." Lucifer raises an eyebrow to then chuckle at the given implications. Asmodeus and Verne soon moving by them to smile at them as Lucifer gives Adelha a twirl. His words hinting at concern for him to whisper, "Tell me. On a scale of one to ten. How worried should I be that Asmodeus doesn't come home tonight?' Adelha grins to watch as Asmodeus and Verne openly flaunt their moves on the dance floor for Adelha to answer. "Oh my dear beloved Lucifer. The better question is when Asmodeus will make it back from his honeymoon with the vixen to declare she's moving in with you." Lucifer looks stricken at the implication. Then he heaves a hard sigh of air that all but has him deflate. So Adelha leans in to place a chaste kiss to his lips. Her words molten and sweet. "I jest. But Asmodeus is not coming home tonight. Verne will most likely kidnap him for the week. For both of them to have way too much fun and make many good memories."

In case someone doesn't know the song:

[thatanthagirl]

There is pain in letting go. There is truth in pain. There is understanding in truth. There is relief in understanding. There is peace in relief. There is letting go in peace.

“There is peace in the waiting if you have faith in me”

The Lord spoke that to me about a year ago.

I didn’t trust Him. I tried to hold on when he told me to let go. I tried to reason with my demons because I don’t deal with loss well.

What do you do when the Lord takes your blinders off and shows you that you’ve been living in hell, dancing with demons, in love with Satan, convincing yourself that you were supposed to be there because, let’s face it, Satan has his miracles, too?

I needed that lesson.

God had to let parts of me die so that new parts of me could be born.

I was never going to be able to be any one worth anything if I hadn’t spent some time in hell, if I hadn’t have fallen in love with Satan, if I didn’t know how to dance with demons..

“It’s time”

The Lord has been speaking that to me for about a week now. I trust him, but I’m scared.

Maybe scared isn’t the right word exactly, but I know that I don’t know how to convince myself that hope is lying to me with “what ifs”..

What I do know, is that Satan can’t save you. I know that you can’t save Satan. I know that someone who thinks you’re Satan won’t let you save them.

So what do you do when God is reaching for your hand but you’re still holding on to Satan's hand, too? How can you let go, look him in the eyes, see all his pain, and leave him in hell, knowing how bad it hurts him?

Because, let’s face it, the person you’ve seen as Satan isn’t really Satan.. if they were, you’d have not been able to love them.. they just looked like Satan because they didn’t love you back, because they dragged you into hell with them, taught you how to dance, and convinced you that you were a demon as well.

I don’t know how to leave someone in hell.

But maybe I’m the one holding him there as well. Maybe he can’t get out because he’s going through the lesson that God is teaching him and my trying to save him is fucking up the lesson.

I’ve let go of Satan's hand.. I’m standing at the exit.. but I’m still waiting for him to come with me..

Even as I type this, I know it’s crazy to think that he could see me as anything more than a hell creature because, why would an angel be in hell?

If you truly love someone, you want them to be happy whether you’re involved or not.. to truly love yourself, you need to let people do what they do and do what you know is right for you.. at least.. don’t do what you know is wrong for you.

“It’s time” to leave hell.

“It’s time” to have faith in God.

“It’s time” to stop trying to save someone who doesn’t know how to let God take his blinders off and realize where he is.

That’s not my job.

“It’s time” to stop fucking up Gods lesson for him and move on to the next lesson God has for me.

“It’s time” to let go. To actually let go, to leave, to stop worrying, to stop looking over my shoulder, to stop worrying, to stop hoping, to stop the “what ifs”…

He can find me if it’s in Gods will for him to find me after he’s out of hell.

If not, I will not allow him to drag me back there again.

The Lord has set me free.

Thank you, Jesus!

What I love about Mitsuri’s fighting style is how she reminds me of a Ribbon Dancer so I drew her as one!
