Devildom’s Local Raccoon

A Noble Distractions

The mansion was bustling with maids and servants helping the Family of Mephistopheles getting ready for a ball. 

Within the main hallway you could catch the quick footsteps of a certain noble demon, who was heading to a room. Mephistopheles stopped and knocked on a door, inside the hushed giggles came to a stop after the knocking was heard. A “Come in” came from inside and the demon entered the room. After closing the door behind him, he turned around to the woman getting ready with the help of two maids at the moment. “My dove, are you nearly done-” The demon stopped mid sentence after he caught a glimpse of the woman through the mirror in front of her and stared in awe.  

The female hummed, taking her family heirloom and trying to put it in her hair. “Nearly done, I just gotta…” she said. After a bit more struggling and the maids aiding her she proudly announced “There, all done!” She looked herself over a bit in the mirror. Admiring and checking her final look in the mirror. After a few approving compliments from the maids, the lady noticed the odd silence from behind her. With a worried tone she asked “Meph, you are oddly quiet back there… is everything alright?” while turning around in her seat to face the man behind her and see what the possible issue might be. 

What greeted her was a Mephistopheles lovingly staring at her with admiration and love. The woman slowly rose from her seat and still slightly worried she called out to him again as the demon had yet to actually say something. Even the two maids threw a worried look over to their Lord before starting to clean up the dressing table. The Lady made her way over to him which seemed to break the noble out of his trance and he headed to his woman too to meet her halfway. 

Once he stood in front of her he caressed her face and put his forehead on hers. “Apologies, my love. I was just merely stunned by the beauty of a goddess blessing me with her presence, I couldn´t help myself but stare in awe.” At that her face turned slightly red in embarrassment. In response to her reaction Mephisto let out a soft giggle and gave her a little space again. His attention got drawn suddenly by one of the maids who closed one of the drawers a bit too loud. A quiet grumble came from him when he thought “Right… they are also still here… “. He gave the dressing table a quick look over before he deemed the table clean enough and told the maids "That's enough. Thank you. You two are dismissed now. Me and Lady Lurrenia would like to be by ourselves now.” The maids bowed and left quickly. Not wishing to potentially anger their Lord and end up on his bad side. 

Mephistopheles cleared his throat, catching Lurrenia's attention that was just one the maids a few seconds ago, and said “Alright. Where was I again? Oh! I remember. I was appreciating the beauty that my mate is~”. He pulled her into a hug and started smothering her face with small little kisses. “Meph… pls… Mephy-” She pleaded in between her own giggles. Lurrenia tried to stop his ongoing attack of kisses by pushing herself away from him but her attempts were fruitless. “But my dove, my love, my absolute gorgeous goddess~ I am merely doing my job as a proper mate.” Mephisto said “And that is worshipping you and your beauty in all its glory.”. He tried to put his forehead on hers again but before he could enjoy the closeness she turned her head away in embarrassment again. “You. Mephistopheles. Are a very cheeky demon and you know that! We are supposed to get ready for the ball before we run late.” She reminded him. The noble hummed in acknowledgement and nuzzled into the crook of Lurrenia's neck and said with playfulness “Well, curse my demonic nature then for not being able to resist the temptation of indulging in something, or in this case someone, I deeply love.” Lurrenia rolled her eyes and side eyed him lovingly. “I love you too,Mephy” she said flatly “and you know I won't do that.” and gave him a small kiss to the side of his head. Suddenly a small gasp could be heard from behind them. 

Both straightened in alarm and looked to the door where the gasp came from.

There in the door standing was a fully dressed and ready to go little Belial who stood there with his mouth open and staring at his older brother and Lurrenia in shock. 

Before either of them could react and say something though, Mephisto's little brother bolted out of the room with the words “Mother! Father! Big brother was being all lovey dovey with Lady Lurrenia! They were even biting each other!" 

Both stared in disbelief at the open and now empty door. Trying to process what just happened. Mephisto was the first to come out of his shocked state. Confused, he looked at her and asked “Biting? But we weren’t biting each other?”. 

Lurrenia giggled at his confusion and shook her head.

“No you silly, Not actual biting. I think what your brother was referring to was us kissing each other. He must have mistaken us doing that from where he stood.” She said softly and booped his nose. 

Mephisto furrowed his brows first before he quirked a brow and said “He picked that way of expressing himself from you, didn’t he?”. Lurrenia looked to the side before she threw him a mischievous smile “Maybe.. Maybe not~ Who knows.” 

Catching Mephistopheles still furrowing his brows she tapped in between them and said “Stop furrowing your eyebrows so much, mister!” adding with a little playful tone “Wouldn’t want my handsome mate to get wrinkles so early on, now would I?” 

The demon grumbled at that and burrowed his head in the crook of her neck again. Sniffing dramatically. At the display of dramatics Lurrenia couldn't help stiffel her giggles and petted him on his back. After a few seconds, Mephistopheles shot up in realization and began “Hold on- Handsome? Bu-” Lurrenia shushed him giggling and said “Tatatatatata. None of that now. You still need to finish getting ready for the ball. I am sure you're the only one left now who has to.”. Having forgotten a bit about the ball Mephisto nodded “Right. I still need my jacket, my belt for my cane and my cane.” He tried to pull away to grab the things he needed only for Lurrenia to pull him back and kiss him on his lips. Melting immediately into the kiss he pulled Lurrenia closer again to hug her properly at the same time. 

He broke the kiss after a bit “Alright, Miss we have to hurry so we don't run late. Let´s get the rest of my stuff, we have a ball to attend to after all. A ball I am looking forward to because I can dance with my beautiful mate to our hearts content.”
