Note

Hello! I was wondering if you could write a short fic with Stolas or Angel Dust x gn!reader? Maybe where they lied a lot when they were alive and died because of it? Oh! And Readers demon form is a snake of some sort? No worries if not though, have a good day/night :]

Okay, so sorry this took so long, as well as me being late to when I planned to post it but it's done. I ended up choosing Stolas as I generally feel I'm more famliar with him and I thought I could deliver a better story choosing him. Hope you enjoy. The Owl Get's the Snake.

“Remind me why I’m here again?”You said snipilly, your tail flicking behind you sharply as you slithered down the grandiose hall of the palace, noting the cold you could feel from the marble floor even through the red carpet. “Because I wanted someone to go to this shindig with, besides it’s not like you get out much, I’d thought you’d thank me Y/N” Your Tv headed boss stated, casually throwing an arm around your shoulders which was par for the course when you weren’t in a professional setting with him

“I’m not desperate for social interaction Vox, I get plenty of it working for you and all”You noted tactfully putting your hands in your vest pockets “Oh come on, is it so bad of me wanting to spoil my assistant?”The Overlord asked with a shrug making you raise a brow at him

“Not like that sheesh, I’m not Val”Vox said, his face falling and his posture slumping noticeably “Sureee…”You sarcastically assured making the eyes on his screen narrow at you “Heh, I know you like being sarcastic, but don’t go there”Vox stated firmly making you take your hands out in a faux surrender motion “Okay, got it. Just making fun, I only came here for the free drinks and all so forgive me for being a bit snippy before we get to the table.”You still decided to note, parties were far from your thing, let alone ones in palaces that belonged to someone you didn’t know, wasn’t even sure Vox mentioned it when he said he was taking you

“Heh Smartass, even though you don’t have one~”The Overlord remarked smugly patting you on the shoulder making you roll your eyes“Hmm, Wonder If Velvette has any jobs open.”You remarked back with a smirk, making his eyes go wide before he laughed pulling you close “Okay Sorry, Sorry I’ll shut up, just making fun right back pal”

“I can’t believe I work for you.”You said sarcastically rolling your eyes again, you enjoyed working for Vox though never said it of course. He paid well, and was a lot better then some other clients you had in the past, got even better when Val got kicked to the curb so it was a job you enjoyed for the most part, just expressing that verbally wasn’t something you did often, so you treated him nice despite his antics at times, he was still kinda your friend after all.

It wasn’t long before you two reached the ballroom of sorts, decorated pretty well for a party, a number of tables and chairs spread about as well as a buffet table to the side, a good few people mingling about as well as service staff carrying drinks about. The two of you finding an empty table and sitting down, Vox grabbing two glasses of champagne from a passing waiter and sliding one over to you “Okay, is champagne good for you?”

“Yeah, if my throat gets dry I’ll hunt down some water, but I’m good with this.”You said picking the glass up before opening your mouth wide to take in the smell, getting a very strong, citrusy fruity scent from it “Oof very fine, who’s this party for again?”You asked before taking a small sip, you weren’t a huge fan of alcohol but Champagne was one of the few you could stand

“Stolas Goetia, we’re kinda old friends, apparently he finally threw his toxic wife out on her ass and wanted to celebrate. Good for him I guess”Vox explained before taking a sip of his own glass, it still surprised you he could eat and drink like anyone else, having a Tv for a face and all but it was Hell and stuff was weird, so you were getting used to it slowly, deciding to crack a joke instead of pointing it out “Pfft sounds like you two have a lot in common.”You stated, frankly you hadn’t the faintest clue what the relationship was like but If Vox saw it as toxic it had to be pretty bad. Your boss chuckling at that

“Heheh I guess so, probably should try to talk to him sometime tonight, but honestly I got no clue how to rekindle anything like that…”Vox began before trailing off, seemingly entranced by something behind you, curiosity getting the best of you, you glance over your shoulder only to see none other then Alastor, chatting it up with his own… employees? Husker and Nifty if you remembered correctly. You weren’t sure of the nature of how they knew Alastor but you had chatted with them on occasion, while the two overlords were busy beating each other senseless. Not much better to do after all…

“Oh don’t rekindle that.”You stated dryly, really hoping tonight didn’t turn into another brawl “Egh, I had no idea he would be here…”Vox said covering his face with his free hand, his usual gray screen gaining a hint of red around his facial features, you barely noticing turning back to Alastor to people watch a bit, his group soon joined by Princess Charlotte and her girlfriend “Eh makes sense, he’s been a lot more social since he started helping out at that hotel of the Princess’s”You noted turning back to your boss

“So what do I do? Ignore him?”The Media Overlord asked honestly, still a bit red in the face. You raised a brow at his behavior, but he had been noticeably trying to be nicer so you supposed it made sense he wanted to bury the hatchet with Alastor it seemed “If you want to talk to him, talk to him, I’ve been around him with you long enough to know he’s polite when it’s necessary, a party seems the perfect time to talk, while the chances of a full on battle seems… at least low”You pointed out, still a little unsure from how many battles you’ve seen start out of nowhere between the two.

“But what would we even talk about aside tallying times we threw each other into wall”He questioned sarcastically but you couldn’t help but smirk

“Which is Fifteen against you and Nine Against him since you hired me, you going soft on him or something?”You questioned making Vox narrow his eyes at you, a spark of electricity coming off his antenna in annoyance

“What the Hell is with the bluntness? Aren’t snake demons supposed to be all lies and deception, and “eat this apple, it’s fine, won’t get you banished I’m sure”?”Vox questioned, his screen flashing to an image of a mischievous looking cartoon snake for a second before turning back to his face, you rolling your eyes, oh he had no idea

“Oh trust me I lie a lot, not to you specifically since you pay me well, but I did it alot when I was alive, faked my death once or twice too, and I can be sarcastic as well as snarky, whatever suits me. And what suits you I feel is going over to talk to him.”You explained firmly, before regaining your smug tone pointing in the Radio Demon’s direction, Vox awkwardly looking away, stammering at a response making you sigh

“Oh good lord Vox, just say a casual Hi or something. Your the Media Overlord not some socially inept teenager, I’m sure you can figure out something to talk to him about without my help”You stated still smug, but you were getting a little annoyed with this “Well you are my assistant, you're supposed to assist me.”Vox noted as a vain attempt to not walk up alone, you could tell but you weren’t having any of it

“Not on my off day mister, good luck boss man ~”You pointed out, smugly getting up from your chair and beginning to slither off “What-Where are you going!?”He questioned, not too loudly not wanting to cause but he was still confused, you turning back simply saying “To get some air.”

“We just got here- Oh for fucks sake Y/N…”The Overlord began before resigning to his fate as you slithered off to a hallway, watching him get up and walk over Alastor’s table, putting on a much more confident posture then how he felt but he was a showman so it made sense. Watching him for a bit till you felt he was too engrossed in a conversation to walk over and grab you the moment you revealed you fibbed to him like that.

“Well that worked, he’s probably gonna cool off by the time he’s done so I’ll go get some foo-OW!”You started before feeling a sharp pain shoot out from your tail causing you to spin around to find the source, finding a well dressed and very tall owl demon with red eyes stumbling back, seeming to have stepped on your tail probably distracted by the phone in his hand “I-I’m sorry, I d-didn’t me-”He tried apologetically though the pain and adrenaline speeding through your system boiled your emotions over

“You don’t just step on another demon's tail you idiot! That hurt! Alot!”You yelled at him, seeing him look away, seeming genuinely hurt by your outburst making you pause. Almost wanting to apologize all of a sudden

“I truly a-am sorry, I wasn’t looking where I was going and-”He tried again, still avoiding direct eye contact, currently looking down at both your lower parts, before his eyes went wide at something, you almost recoiling at the fact that revealed he actually had four eyes, the upper ones peeking out from slits in his top hat. Not entirely unusual for demons but still not something you were used to.

“Oh dear.”The Owl stated in concerned tone and without another word he picked you up in his arms bridal style, your slitted eyes going wide in a mix of surprise, confusion, and embarrassment, that last one also dusting your cheeks in a blush. “Uh what is happening?”You stated passive yet still very confused before you both were enveloped in darkness, the dark dissipating revealing you were teleported to another room looking somewhat like a clinic, with tables and counters, the counters being covered in glowing potions.

It was such an interesting situation you almost forgot you had seemingly been abducted by the person carrying you, the reality crashing back into you soon after “Let go you Asshole! You can’t just magically abduct me like that!”You shrieked slapping him before slipping out of his grasp, falling to the floor trying to slither away, though the pain near the tip of your tail for some reason was lingering making you slower and more awkward then if it wasn’t there “But I’m trying to-”The Owl started getting down on his knees and grabbing onto the middle of your tail to stop you, causing you to turn onto your back to face him

“I don’t care what your trying to do! I’m not even partly into it so fuck off! Do you know who I work f-”You began, half intending to slap him off though didn’t get the chance before he slammed his hands on either side of you his eye’s glow grew brighter and gained white pupils as he stared you directly in the face, shutting you up fast before he spoke out

“I’m trying to help you, so stop squirming and let me~”The Owl said in a tone that was an odd mix of threatening and sensualness, the surprising mix dusting your cheeks once more as you nervously chuckled, now very aware you were at this persons mercy most likely

“U-Uh geez I… wait help me what?”You questioned, just now processing what he actually said, the Owl himself seeming to calm down, his pupils disappearing and the glow diminishing, seeming pleased you weren’t trying to slither away anymore, before he sighed “For you to stop bleeding.”The Owl almost grated out, you making sure to note he still seemed a bit peeved, a bit slow on actually reading his words again, raising a brow in confusion

“But I’m not… oh my.”You began to note before looking past him seeing your tail was trailing blood, your eyes widening in surprise. So that’s why it was still hurting.

“I… didn’t even notice, honestly”You admitted a bit embarrassed in truth, the owl seeming to roll his eyes as best he could with no permanent pupils and got off you “Clearly.”He said bitterly, picking you up off the floor and setting you on a table, before silently going to a a cabinet for some bandages

“Look. I’m sorry for… freaking out on you. You have to admit it seemed a little sketchy. You picking me up and teleporting me away from prying eyes and all”You explained, taking the time to inspect the wound, finding three nasty gashes on the back of your tail, clearly a result of the owls talons, noting some blood on one of them to prove it.

“Yes… but I feel just awful for giving you that gash on your tail, I often forgot my talons are so sharp I suppose But still I panicked”The owl explained apologetically, grabbing a bottle of alcohol and a swab for good measure, getting to cleaning the wound not long after, you holding back a very fitting hiss for your form from the sting

“Hey I get it, I mean one time I hadn’t clipped my toenails in a while and when I accidentally hit my brother’s foot, yikes… I mean it wasn’t as bad, but, you know?”You said, awkwardly as it was hard to speak normally with the sting and all, though you questioned your head for parting with such information, it wasn’t like it was blackmail worthy but you hardly ever told true stories so you found it odd how it came out so easy for some reason

“Oh, I’m guessing that means your a sinner of some sort?”He guessed as he finished up cleaning the wound, levitating a trash bin over to discard the dirty cloth “Yeah. Does that mean you see me as decent in the hierarchy, I forget that stuff a lot”You asked awkwardly, not due to the sting though, You were a little surprised of him seeming interested in who you were “As do I. I see little truth to what it claims so I’d hardly be the best person to tell you how it works. My Ex wife would be spectacular at it though…”He answered, bitterly at the end as he started on bandaging up the wound, making it pretty clear pressing on that subject would be a bad idea.

“Wow, a lot of recently single people here tonight, huh?”You stated sarcastically, with Vox, that Stolas guy hosting the party and… your new acquaintance you supposed and all “Really, I wasn’t aware, I’m not single any way so I suppose it’s not much of my business”He noted innocently, you unable to help being a little disappointed, it wasn’t everyday you found a nice guy in Hell but oh well you guessed

The Owl soon finished up the bandages, you not expecting another shot of pain when he began tying making you hiss, making him chuckle a little “Oh don’t hiss too much my snakeish friend, almost done…”He said cordially, again making you blush as he finished tying it “There, it’s still going to hurt a little, especially if you apply any pressure to that spot, so please be careful till it heals”The Owl stated cautiously, you swinging your side to side to test how painful it was, it felt a lot better but still sore so probably shouldn’t slither around for too long “...Thanks, your really nice, considering I called you an Idiot and an… Asshole, still sorry about that.”You thanked awkwardly, getting off the table, making sure to land on the front of your tail as to not irritate the wound

“I’ve been called worse, and I understand, I must have really hurt you so you have a right to a reaction like that. Now let me show you back to the ballroom, as a good host should.”The owl said with a fancy bow and with a smile, him raising a brow at seeing your eyes widen

“Wait…? Your hosting the party? Which means your…”You began, now even more awkward “Oh! Yes I suppose I forgot to introduce myself, I’m Stolas Goetia, of the Ars Goetia. I’d say I hope you enjoy your evening, but I’m afraid I already ruined it…”Stolas said, with a nervous chuckle, blushing in embarrassment “N-No! You didn’t ruin my evening! You just… spiced it up a bit. I was pretty sure tonight was going to be a drag to be honest… No offense to y-you of course, just my general experience with these things.”You insisted, settling into the awkwardness of it all, seeming to calm down the prince as well

“Mm No offense taken. Honestly… I feel the same, parties were never that fun for me, never have been for the most part”Stolas admitted, You silently questioning why he would host something he didn’t enjoy but he said something else before you could ask him about it “Say, I don’t think you introduced yourself either. May I have the pleasure?”Stolas asked with a smirk offering you his hand or claw or whatever, surprising you again “I-I… O-Okay, sure…”

“Y/N L/N I work as an assistant. Where doesn’t matter.”You stated, awkwardly shaking his hand, unable to not notice the pleasant chill his claws had before taking your hand back, confusing the prince a little but he said nothing of it

“Well Y/N, did someone accompany you?”Stolas asked still very cordial, you just deciding to try to ignore to try to hold a conversation with him “Uh, yeah. My Boss did.”

“Well I should get you back to the party before they notice their likely best employee has seemingly vanished.”Stolas stated and you honestly expected him to wink with how it felt like he was flirting with you. He couldn’t be obviously so again you tried to ignore it.

“Though we should walk, it’s unadvised to teleport with injuries for the most part, I only ignored it so I didn’t have blood trailing through the palace, would’ve looked like I dragged you to double Hell which Is a conclusion I doubt would be pleasant for anyone involved”Stolas said nervously chuckling again as he walked past you, gesturing for you to follow him, which you, not knowing what else to do

Despite knowing Stolas was literal royalty you found yourself surprised at grandness of his home, the halls being so huge and wide you couldn’t think any possible circumstance to make them cramped, simply saying“I must say you got quite the place Stolas” to which the Owl chuckled at.

“Aw well I’m glad you like it my friend, one of the few things I’m happy to have due to my lineage. I must tell you the upper class life isn’t always grand”The prince admitted a little awkwardly, you were well aware of the expectations thrust upon somebody if they were anybody in hell and even back on earth so you understood “Trust me, I know. I’m pretty familiar with the high class life thanks to circles my job puts me in. Still it beats fearing you’ll be thrown out onto the streets, which are even more dangerous down here…”You stated bitterly, not having had the best fall to hell, it having taken a while for you to be able to market your managerial skills to get in a somewhat good place financially.

You supposed it was fair considering what you did in life, having embezzled from your clients and lied through your teeth when they noticed the missing funds, it wasn’t until one got too smart and found out and that quickly put you in the ground, and now you were here, in Hell, in a fitting form for your sins slithering down a hall with an injured tail beside a charming prince who looked at you with sympathy before sighing a little

“Hell is Hell, the best we can do is try to make it better and try to protect our loved ones from it’s cruelties. Be there when they need it most”Stolas said eloquently, you looking at him wide eyed for a good few seconds, just baffled how nice he was. You had met a few goetias, most horribly stuck up but Stolas… just kept surprising you you guessed.

“Heh, are you trying to get me to blush? Cause it feels like you are.”You asked, genuinely wanting an answer, Vox did the same at times just to tease so it wasn’t out of the question, Stolas let out a hearty chuckle at the question before turning to you with a smirk

“You know my boyfriend complains about that exact thing, says I’m trying to embarrass him but I know he likes it. The Question is… do you my friend?”Stolas asked smugly gracefully bowing and putting a claw under your chin so you’d look at him, you stopping in your tracks, able to feel the heat on your cheeks, trying desperately to look anywhere but the Prince’s face your head racing

‘Fuck these mixed signals! Fuck these mixed signals! Fuck these mixed sig-’You internally ranted at how frustrated you were about this whole thing before a booming voice took priority in your head

“Stolas!!!”A deep almost warped voice boomed through the hall followed by approaching stomps, the composed look on Stolas’s face vanishing replaced with a terrified expression as he let out a gasp “I-I know that stomp! We need to move!”The prince said terrified, grabbing your wrist and pulling you into a nearby suite, Stolas shutting the door behind the both of you, putting his back as he started hyperventilating in panic “Wha-Wait! Who is that?”You questioned, half expecting to have to figure out an exit strategy to get out of this situation

“That would be my father… Paimon, who is clearly not happy with me.”Stolas stated, while he was still nervous, his breathing seemed to calm down at the very least “...Maybe he’s upset your not actually at the party your hosting?”You thought out loud, a bit blunt but it didn’t seem you had much time to think up a better way to put it with the stomps getting louder.

“Oh I just wanted to spend some time with Blitz! I should have just canceled it when he got busy! And I can’t leave now cause he’ll know if I portal away!”Stolas admitted desperately before putting his hands to his face and sinking to the ground against the door. You couldn’t imagine how Stolas’s relationship with his father must have been to stoke this kind of fear in him, but again you had little time to process it or think up a way to leave quickly before you lit up with an idea, blankly asking soon after.

“Do you have a clipboard?”You asked, confusing Stolas out of his panic, removing his hands from his face to look at you with a raised brow “Um… pardon, but how will that help?”The prince asked, you barely letting him finish since you kinda had to rush him “Just trust me, I got an idea.”

Stolas glanced at you, still confused but not having much of a choice decided to humor you “Oh, well I should have one in my study”He stated, looking at the surroundings with a familiar glint in his eye, you both being lucky enough to end up his room it seemed

“Perfect, come on.”You said, pulling the Prince to his feet before gesturing him to lead the way, hastily doing so leading to a quaint cozy looking study with a fancy desk, multiple bookcases and even a fireplace. Though the stomps were even louder now as you grabbed a clipboard and gestured him to sit down in the chair

“Okay now sit down, regally. Look professional”You stated, not wanting to sound commanding but with the adrenaline you could hardly help it. Stolas sitting down and putting his arms on the desk, looking to you with a nervous smile, making you offer a reassuring one back which seemed to calm him before you heard what was no doubt the door the suite being pushed open with incredible force, you doing a nervous gulp before speaking

“Okay and… Well your majesty, depending on what you desire, the cost will greatly var-”You began in a professional tone, Stolas’s mouth going slightly agape in confusion and while you wanted to explain that hope was quickly dashed with the study door bursting open revealing a mass of black, white, and a bit of red energy morphing into different beastly shapes, you barely able to stop yourself from screaming before it formed into another Owl demon, resembling a horned owl with their eyes only having red centers, the rest being black though the red glowed intensely making it barely noticeable

Clearly Paimon was a fan of grand entrances.

The red glow dimmed as the demon sighed as a brown cloak fell over them, shrouding most of their towering form as they looked dead straight at Stolas “Son.”They spoke, it was professional, cold, loveless, you’d heard that tone quite a lot during your time here.

“F-Father.”Stolas said stuttering a little, you couldn’t blame him, the main reason you felt you could manage again the elder goetia’s intimidating presence was cause lie was practically your middle name at this point. You just hoped you were right to be confident.

“What in the seven hells are you doing back here in your room as the host of the part-”The Horned looking Avian began, seeming about to go into a rant as he walked up to Stolas’s desk, you slamming your tail to make your presence known making him stop, having seemed to think he and Stolas were alone, “Hold on a moment, who are you?”He said almost accusatory, resisting the urge to roll your eyes, you were quite brightly colored so how he missed you, you had no clue.

“I’m his assistant.”You stated professionally, seeming the best approach “Assistant?”Paimon questioned, confusion taking his tone rather then annoyance this time.

“Yes, I help your son with business agreements, what it takes to be a prince, where to put funds and how to maximize profits etc.”You explained, realizing mid way through there was a good chance he already knew what an assistant was but stopping mid way wouldn’t look great either so you continued, pausing shortly so he couldn’t respond but not short enough for it to seem intentional “In Fact that’s what we’re doing right now, an urgent thing came up unexpectedly so we had to leave the guests to themselves for a bit in order to take care of it. Business before pleasantries and all.”You stated suavely, it was that specific bullshitting tone you spoke in when you were lying straight to a person’s face which could easily kill you if so desired, hoping neither avian could read your nervousness as Paimon looked at you incredulously for a good few seconds for standing back up to his full height contemplatively

“Hmm… that’s actually quite mature of you son-”Paimon started, seeming pleased and man did you wish you could breathe out in relief already cause you almost thought it was curtains for a second time there.

“It’s Stolas”The Prince noted, making you realize Paimon hadn’t actually referred to his son by name this whole time, and by Stolas’s tone it seemed that was often the case “Yes, either way perhaps I jumped to conclusions, Oh how I wish this came sooner but whatever. Say is your arrangement with my son exclusive? My old assistant vanished after extermination day a few years back. Not the faintest idea why.”Paimon began dismissivly before flipping to a much more welcoming mood it seemed, leaning down to be closer to eye level with you, surprising you but you took it in stride as you had learned to do.

“Hmm I may have openings someday, here ya go.”You said pleasantly as you pulled a slip of paper with the desired information on it, neither of you noticing Stolas’s eyes go wide in concern as Paimon took it “Splendid, I’m going to have depart now, but I’m glad to see you finally got… whatever was up with you out of your system my son. Maybe my choice of bride for you wasn’t the best but no harm done. Farewell”The Elder avian said before walking out with a formal wave and not another word and the moment you heard his footsteps fade, that entire time being silent for the both of you you breathed deep sigh of relief, putting the clipboard down as you leaned on the desk as you recovered from how stressful that was.

“Your dad’s an ass”You said in an attempt to lighten the mood as Stolas got up, getting in front of you and gripping your shoulders, surprising you a little “Please don’t tell me you actually gave him your number!”The Prince almost begged in a concerned tone, catching you off guard a little “Pfft fuck no, it’s fake”You said not letting him see it, his ruby eyes widening in confusion before he raised a brow “...You carry a fake number with you?”He questioned, still not sure if that was true it seemed

“Eh, it’s the best way to get some creeps off your tail, not in the way you got on it tho-”You began, intending to make a witty remark but it got caught on your throat when Stolas pulled you into a tight hug, your own eyes going wide in surprise “Oh thank you! I have no idea what I would’ve done without you. Thank you with all my heart Y/N!”The Prince thanked graciously still holding you close, you unable to help nuzzling into his neck a little to feel his feathers, oh fuck were they soft…

“Heheh… your welcome Stolas, just putting my talent for deception to good use I guess, and it’s the least I could do after freaking out at you before…”You said awkwardly, you knew you were getting attached already so you thought it best to end this before it got worse

“I should get back before my boss notices and freaks out, feel free to stay here if you want, it… is your room after all.”You said, unable to help the sadness in your tone as you turned away, making it to the door before the now familiar clacking of talons made you halt before you turned the handle

“Y/N…? Is there something you need to say to me? You seem conflicted about leaving.”The prince said in a much more calm, but still clearly concerned as he walked up to you, you sighing pleasantly turning to him

‘No, uh my tail is getting a little sore from slithering around injured and all, would you mind carrying me back, only if that’s okay with you of course’ You thought up, it didn’t seem too intrusive and it was one last thing before you probably had to say goodbye for Lucifer knows how long, he might try to find you but you weren’t sure he would even want to so this should be it

“Could I kiss you?”You instead asked blankly, both of your eyes going wide as you clamped a claw over your mouth as if to stop the already spoken question “Shit! Sorry it just slipped out! I mean-! Well I didn’t mean-”You tried to apoligize, now panicking, before suddenly calming down as Stolas put one of his own claws under your chin, gently pulling your face up to look at him.

“Hmm~ So what did you mean Y/N? Did you want to kiss me?~”The Prince asked with a smirk, your face feeling like it was burning at how direct yet charming he could be, unable to keep the truth in once again “Yeah…”

Still to your surprise, Stolas scooped you up one arm around your waist and the other holding your tail, you weren’t that short but considering how Stolas would tower over everyone, you still felt small close to him like this“So may I?~”He asked still suave and smug, at that point your ability to speak had checked out so instead you just moved your face closer to his as an answer, him getting the message, putting his beak to your mouth in a kiss, it was a bit sharp but not unpleasant, you were on cloud nine either way until he retracted, licking his lips before chuckling. “Ah~ Plum? Not a common flavor for chapstick my dear.”The Prince noted still so smug at having you practically a puddle in his hands

“I-It was a gag gift from my boss, since plums gro-”You began to explain awkwardly, having accepted how Stolas just had that freeing truthful affect on you by now “Where Bush vipers live, in sub saharan africa up in the living world. And that’s what your form resembles”Stolas finished for you, you staring at him for a second, surprised, even you were confused when you received the thing after all. “Yeah… You know that’s a pretty obscure conclusion to make.”

“I know a lot more about the living world then most, Flora is my main passion but I study Fauna at times too. Reptiles in particular are very interesting to me, but we can discuss that another time. I should get you back and see the party ends without incident, considering I need to call Blitz and see his opinion on sharing me with a charming little assistant such as yourself~”Stolas said and if your eyes could get any wider they would, you decided to take his word, that he wasn’t toying with you. Whatever happened you supposed you might as well have fun with it for the moment

“U-Um about that…”You started, you knew for sure this was pushing your luck but why not?

“You kissed me, but I asked to kiss you, so technically my request is still unfulfilled…”You noted, Stolas’s eyes widening before he smirked “Why you clever little darling~”The Prince said, still carrying you, he walked over to his bed and sat down, setting you on his lap cupping your face

“Okay, I’m right here, one kiss, be sure to make it coun-”He began, still so smug, good lord this bird had range…

“Just please stop talking for a bit, your making me more flustered then I already am”You stated, you knew for sure he already knew that but still there was only so much you could take “Hmm just an effect I seem to have on people I suppo-”The prince began before you shut him up with a kiss, you hearing a muffled moan from him as he ran his claws through the dull spikes on the back of your head, leading you to do the same with his hair as your very long tongues explored each others mouths before pulling away, Stolas chuckling once more

“Ohohoo, you seem quite the good kisser dear. I certainly enjoyed that, then again as long as it’s with you I’m sure I would”The prince said still chuckling a little “Oh lord… I just tried to make it count as you said, which kinda led to me me-messing up your hair. Sorry about that.”You said, noting that it was a lot more noticeable with him that someone touched it with you

“Oh trust me I understand, I’ve done the same at times, trust me”Stolas said with a shrug, making you sprout a warm smile at him, nuzzling into his chest for a second before doing your best to get off him gracefully with an injured tail

“I should probably be going now, thank you for a good time Stolas.”You said, about to leave once before he chuckled again “Hold on, one more thing dear~”Stolas said snapping his fingers, making a silver bracelet with a azure jewel appear on your wrist, you eyeing it with surprise before shooting the prince a confused glance

“Uhh… I think it’s a little early to be gifting jewelry Stolas”You stated making him laugh “It’s not just jewelry, it’s enchanted so I can find you if needed, and come to you if your ever threatened”He explained, the last part sounded vaguely romantic, but still you could see the sketchiness in it

“This sounds stalkerish, I’m not going to lie.”You admitted, you weren’t trying to be mean but you felt honesty was the best policy for once “Refuse it if you want, just a precaution, Hell and all, I’ll need to do a spell to check it anyway so I won’t know where you are 24/7”He explained passively, well at least he didn’t seem upset

“I’ll put this in my apartment, is that okay?”You compromised, it wasn’t that you didn’t trust Stolas, he could have killed or forced you into anything the entire time you were together but he didn’t. So he earned your trust, you were just being careful “Certainly, just want you safe Y/N.”Stolas said still very calm, making you smile genuinely, maybe this would work out, who knows?

“Well… have a goodnight Stolas, see you soon”You farewelled before slithering to the door “Heheh, not if I see you first~”You heard the prince remark making you roll your eyes fondly before you opened the door, and left, smiling to yourself down the hall before you turned a corner, before some bluish light turned on behind making you cast a shadow as the mysterious light flickered

“So how was the royal D?~”A familiar staticy voice asked smugly, making you whirl around to see Voz leaning up against the wall with a smirk “Wha- Vox?! I-I what are you talking about?”You questioned unconvincingly as your boss walked up to you with a chuckle “Oh come on Y/N, I was looking for you and just happened to catch a glimpse of your little makeout sesh with Stolas, didn’t know you were a player like that.”The Media Overlord remarked making your already present blush all the more obvious. No denying it now.

“I’m not, it just… kinda happened, I don’t know, I ran into him after I walked off and- we didn’t do that mind you an-”You stammered, too flustered to really explain the whole thing before Vox put a hand on your shoulder “Heheh calm down, was just a bit curious, but happy you found something fun to do tonight, Was a bit worried when you seemingly went poof, but as long as you were safe I’m good with that.”He said with a smile, clearly not noticing the bandage on your tail in the dark, that would be weird to explain later

“It was… one way to pass the time, I’ll explain later, how’d things go with Alastor, I didn’t hear any blasts which is a good sign.”You noted jokingly

“Eh, we’re going suit shopping next week, can’t believe it took me so long to think of that as a starting point”Vox said with a shrug, and yeah you supposed that made sense, then again

“Yeah, you both have pretty good taste, even if you ask for my help a lot”You admitted, Hell seemed to have a lot of people who wore suits as an everyday look after all “Well you got good taste too, and I need a second opinion sometimes, now what do you say we hit the buffet table for the goodies?”The Overlord asked chipperly, you somewhat glad he wasn’t pressing for info, getting a chuckle out of you

“I don’t know, seeing you eat still freaks me out a little.”You admitted beginning to walk down the hall with him, remembering the time you first saw it, it had gotten a yelp out of you then “Oh? Why do you say that”Vox said smugly before sticking his tongue out of his screen, the tendril like appendage looking like it was entirely made of static and electricity making your eyes go wide before you snorted, laughing your tail off

“You Ass! Get your weird fucking tongue back in your mouth!”You said playfully pushing him away before doubling as you laughed, still able to slither though shakily “Okay Okay! Just messing with you geez”The Overlord relented, laughing with you.

Guess tonight wasn’t so bad after all.

Something was wrong— terribly wrong. There was no way someone would want you, let alone your vice-captain who could have anyone in the world. Not your vice-captain who did everything with such care and looked after everyone so preciously. And definitely never your vice-captain you were terribly in love with.

There must be some mistake. Or else he wouldn’t have just said what you thought he said.

“Pardon me?” you asked.

He looked a little flustered and you had never seen such an expression on him, confusing you further. “I love you,” he said again, softly. “I’d love to know if you’re in a relationship.”

The way he spoke so carefully added to how nervous it made you feel— it was so different from how he usually talked to you. Now, you were lost to say the least, because you couldn’t think of one reason why he would like you, let alone romantically. Under normal circumstances, you’d assume you were being played with or that this was a silly prank or dare, but you knew that Hoshina wasn’t one to do something so horrible. So what was happening?

“I am not…” you said, still confused, but the visible relief in his eyes made your heart tighten. Oh gosh, is he serious?

“I’m… thrilled,” he said, and he wished you goodnight and left. While you were terribly flustered to know he liked you back, there was a voice in your head that wouldn’t stop making you feel anxious. Something felt so odd to you— to be loved back. To be loved back by him. You enjoyed talking to people so you talked to him often, but never had you thought he'd think of you like that. Having a naturally talkative personality, it was true that both of you had fun talking to each other, but you had accepted that your love was unrequited ages ago. When would he have possibly fallen in love with you? The more you thought about it the more impossible it sounded. As thoughts of him circled your head, it’d be morning before you knew it.

It'd be hard for him to point out exactly when he fell in love with you, because he was in love before he knew it. Before he knew it, he'd catch himself following you with his eyes. He adored watching you work, because you made everything look exciting. Of course, he saw how you groaned at the paperwork you had to do, but he'd see how the little things would put a smile on your face.

He liked the work he did, he liked all of it quite frankly. From neutralizing kaiju all the way down to the research he had to do— rarely did he think something was a chore to do, but if you were around to laugh at something silly he found or mutter about the binders and binders of files that the 3rd division just doesn't have space for anymore, he'd start looking forward to these moments.

While he knew you were like this with everyone, he hoped that you were happiest with him. It would mean everything to him if you looked forward to doing seemingly mundane work with him too.

However, while he loved so much about you, there was one moment specifically that made him realize he wasn't moving on. His heart would be yours forever at this rate. You'd look so horribly tired after all this work, and yet, if someone needed help with anything at all, you'd still smile and ask them what's wrong. You'd find the energy and speak to them so kindly. You might not have the energy you usually had, but you'd be so happy to help. Even if they couldn't tell how exhausted you were, he could. He knew how much you did for everyone in the division, and he thought you were stunning when you did so. You were the most beautiful when you had that lovely smile on your face that seemed to light up his world.

He loved you so dearly.

You loved talking to people, so there always seemed to be something for you to talk about. A new finding you wanted to share or a terribly random thought that popped up in your head. While you naturally talked to most of the people in the division, you looked forward to talking to Hoshina the most. The way he'd always listen so intrigued at your dumbest thoughts and laugh at the smallest things you said meant more to you than one would probably think.

And if you shared your daily happenings with him, he'd share his with you too. To say you loved these moments would truly be an understatement. Nothing could possibly make you happier.

However, you knew he was like this with everyone. His laugh would always manage to keep the morale of the division up and he'd never miss potential problems in the condition of any of his officers. You knew he was a sweet person, but also the best one could ask for in a vice-captain. You weren't special— he was like this to everyone. You knew better than anyone else.

You couldn't imagine anyone falling for you, let alone the kindest person you'd ever meet in your life. Let alone the person you'd probably love for the rest of your life.

Yet, here you were, alone with him this afternoon working away through paperwork and it was quiet. Eerily quiet. He was the first to break the silence.

“I rather dislike the rain,” he said, looking out the window. “It’s been raining all day.”

You paused to look outside as well. “No, you’re right. I don’t mind the rain, but I hate how dark everything is.”

“Yeah,” he said. More silence.

“Sorry, I’m awkwardly nervous now,” he said, eyes fixed on his work. “I didn’t mean to make things… weird.”

You could tell he probably didn’t want you to, but you couldn’t help but look his way. Your eyes widened and your heart filled. You weren’t afraid to say much, but you were afraid to talk about this. However, you thought you’d be able to if you were talking to him.

“I just… can’t imagine that you’re… in love… with me,” you said, looking down at your paperwork. “Sounds too good to be true. I know... sounds unlike me, right?”

Immediately he looked up at you, shocked to say the least. You could tell he probably wanted to ask why, but he thought for a moment more.

“What… would I be able to do to show that I am?” he asked. “You’re the one I love… you always will be.”

Your eyes widened. “I just… don’t know why,” you said honestly. “Why me?”

“Because I love you,” he said. “I love a whole lot about you, but I love being with you. I enjoy spending time with you and watching you enjoy the life around you. Is that too simple?”

It took you a second to reply, but you felt a lot better. “No, not at all,” you said. “Because I feel exactly the same way.”

“You’re kidding”

“Absolutely not”

“I’m going to kill you if you’re lying,” he said.

That made you laugh. “You know I wouldn’t,” you said, and yes, he knew you wouldn’t.

“Hey, Hoshina,” you said, avoiding eye-contact. “If I get worried… will you tell me again?”

“I’d tell you until you get sick of my voice,” he said while getting up to kiss your forehead. “I love you so much.”
