6pm:
It'd now been a month since you and Beel roomed together. And although you had initially enjoyed getting your room back, you missed rooming with Beel. There was something about his presence that was comforting. Plus he had a much bigger bed than you. You'd definetly miss all the extra room.
Still, you'd fallen head over heals for the demon over your time with him. You two had confided in each other and gotten even closer than you thought imaginable. However, you just never found the right timing to tell him. Maybe, now was as good a time as ever.
...........
7pm:
You summoned your courage and knocked at his door.
"Beel..?" You called. Silence followed. A few moments later you heard his giant form get up and approach the door.
"Yes, y/n..?" Beel questioned, rubbing his eyes tiredly. You began to feel nervous, all your previous courage fleeing you.
"Would you mind if I joined you?"
Beel cocked his head to the side. "Not at all, but Lucifer's already conducted his room checks. Won't he be mad?" You fidgeted in place, "well, I just..wanted to tell you something.." You mumbled. "What's that?" Beel asked.
"In private," you added, trying your hardest not to trip over your words. If it was hard now, imagine when you actually got around to confessing to him. "Oh, uhm sure, come in" Beel said, opening the door for you.
You walked in, feeling all the confidence melt from your body. You found your way to his bed and sat on the edge of it, taking a deep breath to prepare yourself.
"Beel..," you began. You felt him sit next to you, the difference in your weight causing the bed to rise for a second. "Yeah?" He asked with round, curious eyes. You gulped. The adorable, innocent looks he gave you certaintly made this harder.
"I- I like you.." You stammered. Beel only looked confused. "I like you too, y/n" he smiled. "No, I mean, I love you" you confessed. "I love you too-"
"No- I mean, I have romantic feelings for you, Beel" you stammered. You hoped you finally got your point across, that there was no way he'd misinterpret that.
Luckily, you were right. He seemed to get it.
............
My whole world felt like it went static for a moment, white silence enveloping me. The only noise I heard was a faint ringing in my ears.
"Did..did they just confess to me..?" The white faded away as I heard y/n's anxious wimpers. They were still awaiting my reply.
I bit my lip, and nodded. "I..feel the same way, y/n.." I blushed. This was the first time I'd ever admitted my feelings for someone before. It made me so nervous. "What if they don't reciprocate them-? Wait, they confessed first- does that mean-"
"Beel!" Y/n's voice snapped me from my thoughts. "Ah, I'm sorry- I-" I looked down at them. Y/n was anxiously playing with their hands.
"Do you mind if I spend the night in here, then? For old times sake?"
I felt my whole face turn red. "O-of course you can" I stammered. God, I probably looked so idiotic. Y/n, with flushed cheeks, tossed a smile at me. "Thanks" they grinned. I felt my heart melt at their smile. Y/n was the only one who made my heart feel weak like this.
Suddenly, they lied down onto the bed, wrapping blankets around their small form. I couldn't help but smile. I turned, taking my place at the couch.
"Wait-" y/n called.
My heart stopped.
"C-could you join me?" They fumbled their words in embarrassment. My heart began hammering against my chest. "Are you sure?" I asked with uncertainty.
"Do you really wanna share a bed with a demon, y/n?" I thought.
Y/n nodded their head profusely and I felt weak to their command. I couldn't refuse. Not just because they could use their pact to make me, but I also found myself wanting to join them.
Of course I wanted to join them. But did I deserve y/n? Did i deserve to happily take my place beside them? The guilt of trying to devour them still haunted me, making me feel insecure as I took my place beside them in bed.
............
Y/n squirmed in bed next to me. I heard their heart racing as soon as I joined them. Were they excited to lie with me or afraid of me? "Beel.." They whined, scooting closer to me. "Would you mind if we cuddled?" I was silent a minute. "I-if you don't want to.."
My heart panged. Of course I wanted to embrace them. Hesitantly, I wrapped my arms around their small frame and brought them close to my chest. I felt their body heat rise against my skin as soon as I did this.
That was a good sign, right?
They wrapped their arms best they could around my frame and nestled their cheek on my chest. Their heartbeat seemed to slow as soon as they got comfortable. I smiled, taking that as a sign that they weren't afraid of me. Maybe, now, I could relax.
"Beel.." Y/n said in a near whisper. "Hmm..?" I replied lazily. "Can I tell you about a dream of mine..?" I noticed their heartbeat began to pick up. Maybe they had a nightmare recently they wanted to share?
"Sure, y/n, go ahead" I smiled and tightened my arms around them. I wanted to make them feel safe and secure. They seemed to tighten in my arms.
"I know, this is going to sound silly, but, awhile ago, like when we first started spending time together, I dreamed that you tried to eat me" they chuckled.
My whole body stilled. I felt paralyzed. My heart began to race. I hadn't even noticed I'd gone silent. "Beel?" Y/n asked. I gulped. "Yeah?"
"What do you think of my dream..?"
"Do you want me to be honest?"
"Yes..."
I bit back the urge to scream. This was going to be my downfall. This is going to ruin me. My damn stomach is the beginning and end of all my problems. And even now..I subconsciously think in the back of my mind how delicious they look..
"Beel, what the hell is wrong with you..?" I thought. Anxiously tearing my hands through my orange locks.
"Y/n," I began, "that...wasn't a dream. That night, I really did..try...to.." I clamped my mouth shut. I didn't even want to finish the sentence. My face creased at the thought of it.
Y/n tensed in my arms. They were silent a moment. "You..dont still want to, do you?" They asked, turning their head in my arms to look at me.
I shook my head. "I don't..know.." That was the best answer I could muster. "I think a part of me wants to devour you whole right now. But I know a bigger part of me just wants to hold you like this in my arms.."
..........
"Beel.." You started. "I want to love you..I- I want to trust you, so.." You gazed into his purple, tormented eyes.
"Let me trust you. I believe you don't want to eat me. That you want this as bad as I do. So.." You held out your hand and cupped his cheek.
"Let's give this love a chance.." you smiled.
Knowing that he'd actually tried to eat you did, in fact, scare you. So much, you were trembling in his arms. Your instincts were kicking in. Every fiber in your body told you to run away.
A part of you knew you were definetly afraid of him. However, an even bigger part of you knew you loved him. You wanted to give him a chance.
Beel clamped down his jaw, his fangs starting to enlarge in his mouth. He was definetly hungry. "You're scared, aren't you?" He said with a guilty look. You relaxed in his arms, just slightly. "Of course I am..," you mumbled, "but I trust you, Beel.."
This seemed to make him more anxious, as you were putting a lot of responsibility onto him by entrusting yourself to the Avatar of Gluttony. As terrified as he was to hurt you, he still looked overjoyed at your trust in him and that you actually wanted to pursue a relationship with him.
Although you knew this relationship wouldn't be easy, you knew you both wanted it. You'd both be ready to fight any biological instincts to stay in each others arms for just a moment longer.
