Demon!Simon Riley who you summoned as a last resort. You were having problems with an ex-boyfriend stalking you and the police weren’t doing anything. One of your friends had jokingly suggested the dark arts, but at this point, you were desperate. You didn’t know what the hell you were saying when you read off an old spell from the internet and felt like freaking Elphaba in Wicked when she’s chanting from her weird magical book
Demon!Simon Riley glanced down when summoned. He had just materialised in a random living room all of a sudden standing in a pentagram. “You know,” he said in a gruff voice to the terrified-looking mortal, “you don’t have to do the pentagram shit. It’s meaningless.”
Demon!Simon Riley couldn’t help but smirk as you fainted. It was a valid reaction from a mortal, he supposed, who had no idea the supernatural world existed, and had just witnessed a creature appear in their home
Demon!Simon Riley still stood at 6 feet 3 inches and could have passed as a normal man, albeit a very buff and bulky man, if it weren’t for the black mass that covered his head. It didn’t look like a mask, but instead an aura escaping him that screamed danger. Now that he thought of it, that was probably the reason you had passed out
Demon!Simon Riley waited around until you came to. He was sitting on your couch, flipping through historical dramas on your TV. He had shifted slightly so the black aura around him had dimmed considerably. He didn’t say anything when he noticed you were waking up.
“Are you… an actual demon?” you couldn't help but ask
Demon!Simon Riley snorted and replied sarcastically, “no, love, I’m just a regular human that appears whenever demonic incantations are read aloud.” He picked the TV show The Great and you couldn't find any words. He grunted when he saw the outfits and when the title An Occasionally True Story popped up, he muttered, “yeah, obviously. That’s not what Catherine the Great looked like.”
Before you could ask if he had somehow met Catherine the Great, he turned towards you. “What do ya need?” You still didn’t answer, mouth hanging open
Demon!Simon Riley sighed as you still didn’t answer. “Listen, love, I’m probably not gonna hurt you. At least not now, anyways. Depends on what you want. You mortals always want something.” It was clear he didn’t like conversation from how he didn’t say anything afterwards, just continuing to watch the TV show. It wasn’t until a long time later you told him of your ex-boyfriend
Demon!Simon Riley whose eyes narrowed and flashed pitch black when he heard of your plight. He had seen the horrors of man throughout the years and it seemed like it hadn’t gotten any better in the last few centuries.
You were explaining how you didn’t know what Simon wanted from you in return when he held up a hand. “I’ll take care of it,” he said
Demon!Simon Riley felt his lips pull up into a small smile when you asked what the exchange would be. He shrugged and replied, “won’t torture you forever in Hell, birdie, if that’s what you’re worried about.” And then he was gone
Demon!Simon Riley showed up a little later, looking pristine. “All done, birdie,” is all he said before sitting back down on your couch to finish his TV show
Demon!Simon Riley, as it turned out, wasn’t intent on leaving. You spluttered and stammered, but he seemed rather content living with you. You weren’t sure what the hell was happening, but it wasn’t as if you were going to tell a demon to get the fuck out of your house
Demon!Simon Riley kinda became a part of your routine, oddly enough. It didn’t seem like he needed to eat or sleep, but still hung around your place. He would disappear sometimes (no more than a few hours at a time) before popping back into your life and scaring the shit out of you. You were getting horribly skittish about your sudden lack of privacy, no matter how much he tried to calm you down. (His way of calming you down turned out to be staring at you until you stopped hyperventilating)
Demon!Simon Riley didn’t talk much, which was why it was terrifying when he suddenly just materialised in your kitchen sometimes, beginning to cook a dish from the 13th century that he suddenly remembered. He seemed to have an infinite supply of whatever he wanted and always refilled your fridge, which in this economy, you weren’t complaining about
Demon!Simon Riley was so odd to have around. It seemed surreal and every day you woke up, unsure if it was all a dream
Demon!Simon Riley certainly was not a dream and he made it very clear by getting almost too comfortable. You weren't sure if it was because you summoned him in your own home and he was somehow now tied to it, but he was acting like he would never return to Hell now. You almost wanted to call the friend who recommended this in the first place and curse her out
Demon!Simon Riley was determined to catch up on everything he had missed within the last centuries. He used your library card and began reading through the books you had at home while also using your subscriptions for shitty TV
Demon!Simon Riley was pretty quiet. He didn’t talk a ton, but when he did, it was sarcastic remarks about how humans had changed or stayed the same. He particularly liked watching shows about Satan or religion and just ripping it apart in a steady, low monotone. You got sort of used to hearing him grumble about the inaccuracies as you were working
Demon!Simon Riley randomly gave you little bouquets of flowers or precious jewels. You weren’t sure where he got them, but when a diamond necklace suddenly appeared on your coffee table with no explanation, you wanted to ask if it was made out of condemned souls
Demon!Simon Riley also somehow kept the entire house clean? It seemed a bit counterintuitive, since he was a spawn of Hell, but it was nice not having to dust
Demon!Simon Riley began walking around shirtless which you couldn’t do anything about lest you confront the demon now living with you
Demon!Simon Riley who sat on your couch, shirtless, and reading
Demon!Simon Riley knew what he was doing. Asshole.
Demon!Simon Riley, as said before, was 6’3” and just muscle. He had a layer of fat on him that made his tummy roll when he sat down and looked delicious. His biceps seemed like perfect chew toys and his thighs squished out whenever sitting. It was like he knew when you were ovulating
Demon!Simon Riley called you birdie and love
Demon!Simon Riley just wouldn’t go away. You weren’t sure that the age-old demon knew what overstaying was or how to take a hint, but it didn’t seem like it. Eventually, you had to sit him down and lay out the problem. After you were done, he sat there, quiet. After a while, you had to ask, “are you okay?” You weren’t sure if a demon could feel emotions, but you wanted to try
Demon!Simon Riley sat back on the couch and crossed his arms in the AC/DC hoodie he had somehow got. “I thought you liked having me around,” he muttered. You were quick to assure him that you did, it was just a bit weird sometimes and you wanted to know if there was an end date
Demon!Simon Riley shrugged. “I got you those flowers,” he mumbled. You told him that they were very nice and you really did appreciate all the gifts. “I was in the middle of Bridgerton,” he continued in his rough voice. Then, he stood. “But I’ll go.” Before you could protest, he was gone.
It was an adjustment, to say the least, to have him gone. You had gotten so used to him popping up that going without him for long stretches of time felt unnatural. You somewhat expected him to just reappear one day, but it didn’t seem likely. His presence had become a welcome constant and you missed having someone to bitch about your coworkers with. He knew all of the drama about the HR lady. You lasted for all of four days
Demon!Simon Riley was summoned back and this time, you didn’t faint. He looked rather nonplussed when he reappeared in the pentagram, as if he was practically pouting, but that faded when you quickly hugged him
Demon!Simon Riley said, “you still don’t need the pentagram.”
That night, you sat down with him to watch Bridgerton with him. It seemed to be one of his favourite shows, oddly enough. It wasn’t long before you noticed some trends. Bouquets of flowers appeared in the show as did jewelry and you gave him a side-eye when you recognised his actions as old courting rituals
Demon!Simon Riley simply shrugged and said, “I didn’t think you would want an eternal globe of hellish fire. I settled for flowers.”
Demon!Simon Riley whose eyes turned black when you had sex
