Overcome (Belphegor x GN! Reader)

CH 13: I'm Sorry

With the days of the festival over, everything was truly back to normal. Normal classes, normal downtime, normal everything. Even though the music festival was fun, it felt great to have some time to kill.

After you were done with breakfast, Asmo insisted on you coming back to his room with him. According to Asmodeus, his skincare routine hadn't been quite as thorough as it normally was thanks to everything going on, and he wanted you to be a part of what he called a "full revitalization day".

The two of you sat on his bed, facing each other as you did skin care together. He had just finished putting a face mask on you, and was now applying it to his own face.

"So how are you and Belphie doing?" Asmo asked quietly as he glanced in the hand mirror that was sitting next to his bag of skincare products. "We're doing... good?" You replied, a little confused.

"Ahh you two are so cute! How long have you been together?" Asmodeus sat the mirror down and looked at you expectantly.

You gaped back at Asmodeus, and you could feel your face mask wrinkle. "Hey! Stop stop stop! What are you doing?" Asmo scolded you, and you did your best to not look quite so shocked as he tried to smooth it back out. "Sorry it's just— Belphie and I aren't together."

At your response, Asmodeus seemed flabbergasted. "What! Why not?"

"Wha? What do you mean 'why not'?" You asked. In that moment, it seemed like you and Asmo were equally confused with each other.

"You like him don't you?" Asmo laughed, and continued applying his own face mask now that yours was fixed. "I mean I don't really know if I—"

"Well if you don't know if you like him, then are you in love with him?" Asmodeus cut you off, and gave you a gentle yet knowing glance. Taking your silence as an answer, Asmo just smiled. "It's okay, you know. You're allowed to have feelings."

You mindlessly scrolled through Devilgram on your phone, thinking of what Asmo said. He wasn't wrong. But it isn't like you've really talked about it with anyone either.

"I'm just scared it'll ruin what we have already. He's my best friend, Asmo. I don't want to mess that up," you explained quietly as you fidgeted with your phone.

"Oh hon, you won't mess anything up. Trust me," Asmodeus replied softly as he stared into his hand mirror. "But what if I do! You don't know that," you sighed defeatedly.

Asmodeus began laughing again. "Oh I so do know that," he replied, shaking his head. A loud tone came from your phone, and Asmo just gave you a look. "I swear if that's Belphie—"

"Oh come on, it's probably not going to be Belphie. Just because we were talking about him doesn't mean it's him. He usually naps in the attic around this time, so he probably isn't awake right—"

2 New Messages from: Belphie!

Incoming;
"Hey, meet me in the attic in 10?"

"I'm getting a late start on my morning nap, but I'd like you to join me if you want to."

You stared at the messages on your phone, cursing the timing that those texts were sent. Asmo leaned over your shoulder, glancing at the texts on the screen before giving you a shit eating grin. "What was that you said? 'Probably not Belphie', hmm?" He teased. "Oh whatever!" You laughed.

"Alright, well let's get that face mask washed off of you and you'll be good to go my dear!" Asmo replied cheerily, leading you to his bathroom.
