Obey Me! Writer

“MC-” he started, coming closer, finally touching you when you looked at him. Eyes were empty and red. Just like you wanted to give up because of lost love. “Tch…” he murmured, hugging your head, no matter if you looked up at him. He wanted to feel everything you're feeling now. He wanted to cry with you, to make you feel better. So you're okay. So you'll be fine again. So you'll smile.

But he can't cry after that person.

He's happy they're gone.

There was one time he looked at them holding your hand and wished that hand to be ripped away. Mouth that kissed yours before he could do that, sliced. Body you touched - broken.

He's not happy with your tears. He's happy that he can be the one now–

Mammon was never a polite or stoic guy. You knew that. Even if he was quieter now with you, he somehow managed to stay his own self. And that even brought you some happiness.

He told you that it's better to just clean up the house after them. Because no matter what you do, looking at something that brings memories will only hurt more. And he was right about that. At the moment he forced your eyes to look at him, your heart calmed down. You paid attention to the demon in front of you, not to the photo of someone that will never come back…

No matter how painful it was, you needed to let go…

When his brothers came back home, he was still here with you. He was still trying to comfort you with everything he could.

He hung out with you. He made sure you're doing your favorite things. And you realized that he knows everything you like. He always knew, always paid attention to you. Always looked up to you. Even if he's Avatar of Greed, with you he never was so greedy.

He wanted you. He wanted you only for himself. He wanted everyone gone. He wanted a person who took you away from him somewhere where they can't be near you. So he can… take their place.

But you still looked at them… you still longed. You always remembered.

What did you even see in that person? Mammon… is much better than them. He deserves you more than them. He helped you with everything.

“You know… I always looked up to you…” he said, placing hand on your shoulder, reaching out some more, like asking if he can wrap his arm around you. When you didn't move away, he did it, pulling you to lean on him. Offering you comfort and warmth while sitting on an empty couch.

No matter how much he did, you never looked at him the same as he imagined. That's why he wanted to try something… to have you closer to him.

There's no obstacles now. The only ones left are in your own mind. Because your heart now is broken.

“...I don't know why they would be so careless.” Mammon said, stroking your side. “Hey… are ya listenin’?”

“...yes.” you answered silently, feeling tired after all these sleepless nights. Ones before Mammon visited, and now he's staying with you, like help for your mentality. Always managing to help you feel comfort in your empty bed. Because now you wanted to sleep with him, to hold his hand. To not remember… Do not think about it too much. And he was happy to help you with that. His hand always found yours. And his soft voice always found its way straight to your heart.

“I never forgot about everythin' we did together.” He laughed softly to break the silence.

Yes… everything you have done… it was fun…

You smiled slightly.

He saw that. And his cheeks blushed a bit seeing how delicate your face looked like right now. So innocent and…still broken. But he knew he could help you.

He can fill your heart one more time with love. His love.

And he knows you'll accept him… somehow.

“You know… I also always… always…” he stuttered, looking away. He always starts saying something important but then he stops… “I felt so bad… when you choose them and leave me…”

Chills went down your spine when he said that. It was… sad… and you felt guilty for leaving them all… you could always try harder… you could always try to stay with them, but you just agreed to come back to your world. You agreed to that, and left them with an empty spot in the family. Even if they wanted to visit you, it wouldn't be the same…

“I'm sorry…” you whispered sadly.

A weird gleam appeared in his eye. He also felt guilty for saying that… but that was the truth. And also part of helping you forget.

“Don't worry about it… I would never leave ya.” His hands were wrapped around you tightly, pulling you close. “Even if you loved someone else… I still love you…”

Then there was… a kiss… unexpected movement of devotion. He placed his lips on your cheek, right next to the corner of your mouth. You didn't know how to interpret it. Maybe he just kissed your cheek, and never wanted to go further…

But he deserved that… he lived through so much for you… so you decided to give him something you thought he would like. Especially when he still loved you.

You placed your lips on his, giving him a kiss that showed you craved something. More… more feeling of being loved… more feeling of not being alone.

So maybe making him happy will allow you to feel better again? Maybe when he gets what he always wanted you'll realize that the only person you always loved was Mammon all along.

That's what he wanted you to know. And never forget.

Demon's sins cannot be defeated. And that's what Mammon felt in the end. He would never give you to someone else. He wanted you for himself. Because you're his treasure. His smile, his love, his desire, his heart. Treasure chest where you can find everything he ever dreamed of. Where he can find his deepest desires and never need to give it back to anyone.

He was your first… that's why he always wanted to be your last too. One who'll be with you forever. One who will hear you call his name only. And he wanted more and more from you. Never too much. But in the end he wanted you to give yourself to him. Where you can smile and laugh together. Where he can kiss you. Where he can hold you longer and longer. All you “his”.

Because of that person it was taken away from him. They stole you from him, and never wanted to give you back.

And he started hating that he wanted to stop being greedy for you. He would never win with that feeling of need to have more and more. That's why when he knew he can't have you actually, his whole world just started falling apart. Feelings he created based on you were corrupted. And the need for protecting you became the need of making sure you're left alone. Away from that person who decided to be a thief. A person who shamelessly stole you from him, not caring what he's feeling.

That's not fair. That's exactly how he started feeling more needy. More greedy with days passing.

Without Lucifer's knowledge, he stayed in the human world, hoping he wouldn't be found too quickly. But maybe his older brother will understand? A greedy bastard is not always the bad one.

All he wants is your love.

So maybe Lucifer won't do anything until he finds a way to help you. Humans cannot give you anything, not the future, not money. You were happier in the human world. That's why it's better for you to listen to him.

He always loved you, and you still wanted someone else? How could you?

He was really worried about your well-being with that human… What can they give you? You were happier with him and his brothers. So of course you won't ever be happy enough with such a human. Even if they can make you smile, that's nothing special.

He hated seeing you wear matching rings so much he would never forgive them… such ugly small thing… so cheap…he would give you diamonds. Crystals. Gold and silver. Everything he collected. Everything he has. Just so you take off that ugly thing… something so disgusting that connects you two. Does that even have any meaning?

A few days passed when he looked at your window, sitting somewhere high with his wings giving him balance and the ability to fly.

It was disgusting, looking at that human calling your name and running to touch you… skin that would be so soft under his own fingers, touched by someone… who doesn't even know you so much…

Mammon…he knows you better… he lived with you. He saw you in dangerous situations. Sad ones. Angry ones. Everything. He knows everything about you. Each preference. That human wouldn't be better. No matter what they'll do.

But they took his place. And he needed to change it…even if he will regret it later for hurting you…

With human world crows it was easier than Devildom ones. They were nicer. Maybe smaller, but capable.

He looked at you for days. He observed your moves with a smile. Imagining himself by your side. Looking darkly at the second human near you.

When they went out, he was here, waiting.

When they walked, not noticing something non-human above him he wanted to laugh.

No matter how he hated them, he also would laugh at that stupidity. But humans don't have wings. And flying predators won't attract them either.

The glistening ring on their finger was the only thing that catched his attention first. The same one you wear…

With one movement of his finger, crows flew down, pecking at their hand, pulling the jewelry. It wasn't so rare for birds to like something shiny. No matter in what world. It was just a few seconds for them to take it off, and one black bird came to Mammon, giving him it. Clean and untouched. Not even a scratch.

Paying them with a bag of chips, he flew down, turning into human form. Walking away he heard human’s grunts when they tried to free themselves from the birds around them.

The demon was just looking at the ring with a small blush. The same one…you have the same on your finger right now…

So he put it on himself, smiling like an idiot. His mind was too focused on the ring to hear one thud when that human tripped over the fence, not seeing anything around them because of black feathers. They fell down a few meters, and a second loud thud was heard by everyone. But not by demons. Birds flew away with their reward, leaving humans with broken legs on the ground. The ground that was apparent was a road.

Other people shouted, ran to them to help.

But before they could react, all the bones were crushed by a truck running over them.

You held his hand, almost feeling lightheaded in the evening. Walking right next to each other eating some street snacks he wanted to try. Or course he went for a spicy one, to complain about it being too spicy afterwards. But you already remembered exactly how he behaves. He was with you for so long it almost feels natural that you two are going out for dates. You still weren't able to forget exactly everything. Especially when someone you love suddenly had an accident. But it was happening all around the world. Drunk drivers are everywhere. And they were just here at the wrong time… you almost hoped they stayed with you that night instead of going out. But Mammon managed to get your spirit higher. You felt better. Still grieving, but now… you were much happier. You could smile again. And slowly but surely, depression and tears became happiness with a demon you knew so long already.

When he smiled. When he was grumpy. When he blushed. When he stuttered sometimes, while being embarrassed. That all was part of who he was for you. And he won't hide anything from you, ever.

Maybe I was right. He's that one and only… your first, Mammon.

“Are you going to finish it?” He asked, pointing at your skewer which wasn't touched ever since you got lost in your thoughts. You ate half of it, and spaced out.

“Mmm… maybe?” You said, smiling softly, biting food. Looking at his hungry eyes. “Want some?”

“...n-nah! I'm not hungry!”

“heh… here.” You placed food in front of his lips when you continued walking. His eyes lit, and he blushed slightly before biting down. Sharp teeth digging in tender pieces, mouth eating it up happily. He was like Beel now... does he like human world food so much? Maybe you should go out more often?

*Caw caw*

“Hmm? Huh?! Mammon look!” You said with a laugh, seeing a crow holding money in its beak, looking at a demon and then at the rest of the skewer you gave him. “Here.”

You took food from the man next to you and gave it to the bird with a smile, not listening to Mammon's protests. In exchange it gave you money it had, like it was teached that money exchanges for food.

Funny how this everything could get even funnier.

“H-Huh?! It took my napkin too!” Demon said seeing that the second crow stole a napkin from his pocket. One you got from the stall, to make sure your hands aren't dirty after eating.

He jumped after the bird and you laughed, finding it comical. And it was a situation just like in Devildom. Something happened and afterwards it was always either funny or scary.

But you stopped laughing suddenly, and your eyes widened almost too much.

With the sun setting behind you, you saw a sparkle on Mammon's neck. It would be normal if he had a necklace. No one cared if he wore one.

But the problem was, what was on his necklace, that before hid under his shirt. Something that was revealed only after he jumped up after that crow.

He sighed, placing hand on his nape with a little scratch.

“Sheesh… that little thief…” he complained, but when he reached out to take your hand, you took a step back. “?”

Your eyes kept on the necklace. Your body goes cold while seeing something you haven't seen in a long time. It's not yours… it's…

You looked up at him with horror. Took a few steps back again.

“MC?”

“...” You backed away as soon as he stepped closer.

“What–”

“Why…” you whispered

“Hmm?”

“Why?” you said louder.

“What?”

“WHY DO YOU HAVE IT?!” You screamed at him, not caring if there's anyone around. Even if it was evening with not lots of people around, it still was a public place.

He looked shocked, and then looked down where you stared. Seeing the ring on his chain. Decorating his neck. One he took from a person he hated. One he ordered to steal… that same crow that knew that it can get something from him with exchange.

“L-listen–.”

“Don't come closer to me!” you pushed him away.

He just stood here with a face like a stone.

“WHY?!”

He didn't respond, but his eyes told you everything. He did something he doesn't want you to know.

“Listen. I found it.”

Of course he was lying. That's not the face of Mammon who tells you the truth…

“No… No you didn't…NO, YOU DIDN'T!”

“MC–.”

“You killed them, right?”

“What?”

“Yes or no?!”

“...”

“...hah…” you laughed ironically with eyes filled with tears.

He looked to the side before looking again at you. With eyes that show you… reminds you he's not human…

“MC…”

Before he could take your hand, you started running, ignoring his calls behind you.

You ran and ran. The person you kissed… the person you hugged and told you love him the same… person who was your comfort after losing… that person… was a murderer.

One who wears your lover's ring like a …

One who's a heartless monster?

No matter how painful your lungs were, you kept running. No matter if you couldn't breathe with long afford and emotions. When you didn't see because of tears, you kept running. You didn't want to stop.

Maybe you'll run… to the point you'll get away… or meet the same end as someone you loved–

“MC!” A demon called behind you, running faster.

Can you even outrun him? He's one of the fastest demons… of course you can't…

But you can't just let go, and allow the murderer to have his way…!

With your tagged breathing, you wanted to speed up, but your legs didn't reach the ground. You were pulled by his hands, when he used his wings. He flew up, leaving the ground behind. Assuring you won't run away anymore, with his arms squeezing you into his body.

You stayed punching him and screaming. Your legs kicking him. Palms and elbows hitting him in panic. Tears flowing down, acting like animals fighting for life. And looking at these blue eyes made you feral even more.

These are not the eyes of someone you love.

These are the eyes of a killer! Heartless killer who took them away from you! Because of his own greed!

“Listen to me– oof–” you smacked his nose when you pushed his head back, making him lose balance while flying. “Calm down or you'll fall!” He screamed, holding you closer.

But did you care? You continued moving before twisting your body enough to slip away.

Your anger and fear disappeared for a moment when his hands let go.

Your head was empty and all you felt was air hitting your back when you started falling down with great speed.

He shouted something behind, and started diving down really quickly.

Oh…

...

So that's how you die…?

...

You'll be free from the killer… and you'll join your lover…?

You almost smiled with tears flowing more and more, waiting for pain and end.

The moment before you hit the ground you felt that he catched your hands, then wrapped arm around your waist, opening wings to stop. But it was too late.

When he finally stopped momentum enough, your head moved down, fitting the ground with enough force to break your skull.

It was warm. Everything was cozy when you opened your eyes, looking at a tanned chest near your face. Very close… too close.

You felt your head ringing a bit, you winced. But then you looked up, seeing a sleeping Mammon.

In his bed, hugged into him, you decided to sleep.

There's still some time left until you need to wake up to go to RAD, right?

You swear you had a scary dream. But you don't remember what it was exactly…

Why do you feel so different from yesterday, when you had an exam? Oh, maybe because you were so tired after taking it you feel like you're dead… so tired… your body and your head.

But Mammon's arms are so warm… you love sleeping with him. He must love you so much…

You giggled to yourself a bit before nuzzling into him and closing your eyes.

You hope to be with him forever.

He knew you woke up, but didn't say anything. He was worried you may not wake up again, since you had problems staying conscious for days now.

Your head healed with the help of some magic and potions.

But there was a part that couldn't be repaired…

You'll regain your consciousness finally when your body feels it's time.

And it happened when your mind erased all that happened that evening. Leaving you as MC who never left Devildom.

Regret of hurting you quickly turned into relief.
