Day 3 - Love At First Sight @fluffuary

Diablo x Rimuru (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime)

♡ ♡

Rimuru opened his eyes and blinked slowly. He was content. In quite a good mood, actually. All around satisfied. The last bits of grogginess faded from his eyes and he turned towards his left. He let out a surprised squeak when he saw a pair of demonic eyes staring at him unblinking.

"You're awake, Sir Rimuru!" Diablo exclaimed. His eyes shined with the joy he just couldn't suppress. If he'd been a dog that tail of his would be wagging at supersonic speed.

"Ah! Y-yeah! Good morning!" Rimuru yelped. He grabbed at the covers, fighting the urge to pull them and cover up. That would've been ridiculous, all things considered.

"Did you sleep well?" Diablo asked.

"Better than I have in a long time," Rimuru admitted. The words barely slipped past his lips before he regretted them. Surely that wouldn't go to the demon's head... right? One look at the way Diablo was sparkling said otherwise.

Ok, yes, last night had been incredible. Rimuru didn't expect he'd ever feel that way about a demon of all creatures. He also didn't want the guy to get ahead of himself. This was just a spur of the moment thing. They'd go back to normal once they left this room. Probably.

That was a problem for future him to deal with. Right now he wanted to bask in the moment. He refocused on his companion to find the demon still staring at him and grinning like an idiot.

"What're you smiling about?" Rimuru asked. All the staring was flattering, sure, but it was going to make him start feeling self-conscious soon if he didn't chill.

Diablo scooted closer to him. He laid his head against Rimuru's chest and wrapped his arms around him snugly then sighed, "You've made me the happiest demon in the world."

Rimuru felt his cheeks heat up. Sheesh. The guy could use a little bit of a filter. "Come on, you're being dramatic."

"I assure you, I'm completely serious." Diablo replied. He lifted his head and said, "I've been in love with you since the moment I first saw you."

Rimuru thought about that for a second. The whole “love at first sight” thing aside, there was a far bigger question that popped into his head. He raised a curious eyebrow at the demon then asked, "Wasn't I in my slime form when we met?"

"Indeed. Never before had I seen such splendorous perfection, such radiance." Diablo cooed. His cheeks darkened and he smiled as he recalled the day. "My eyes were blessed, my world instantly changed. The deepest part of my soul was suddenly awakened."

Rimuru poked the top of the demon's head and asked, "What do you even like so much about that form, huh?"

Diablo's hand slid up Rimuru's back slowly as he purred, "It's so smooth and squishy. It bounces back from anything. Truly the ideal state of being." He curled Rimuru's long locks around his fingers slowly. "Not to mention the most beautiful shade of blue in the universe."

"Only you would think something like that," Rimuru chuckled. Diablo's grip on him tightened so that he was pulled even closer. The demon’s bare skin was warm against his own. Hot, even. He’d likely start to sweat soon. But he made no effort to pull away.

"I could write you a sonnet about each and every little thing about you that is perfect if you'd like," Diablo offered.

"No thanks, I'm good." Rimuru sighed. He rubbed the demon's head tenderly and added, "You really are such a weirdo."

"Does that displease you?" Diablo asked.

A smile spread across Rimuru's face then he replied, "No, I guess it doesn't."

Tears pooled in the demon's eyes. He was on the verge of happy crying again. What a big baby. Rimuru put his hands on both sides of Diablo's face and squished his cheeks. He snickered at the sight then kissed his forehead.

Rimuru’s smile widened. He tilted his head then hummed, "We still have some time before we need to get up so let's just cuddle for a bit, 'kay?"

"It would be my honor to be your cuddle buddy, Sir Rimuru."

Diablo entered the room at blinding speed. No human eye would even perceive it. A quick flash, and he stood tall with a hand over his heart, completely ready to serve his lord and love. He shut his eyes then asked, "You summoned me, Sir Rimuru?"

The slime in human form looked up from the comically large pile of paperwork on his desk and replied, "Thanks for coming, Diablo. I need a favor."

"It is my honor to love and serve you, Great Rimuru. I'd gladly do anything you wish. I'd kill for you." Diablo declared. He visibly perked up before he asked, "Is there someone you want me to kill?"

"I didn't say anything like that!" Rimuru yelped. He shook his hands and head at the same time, making his long ponytail whip around with the motion. "I'm gonna need you to dial it back a bit!"

"As you wish, Wondrously Gelatinous One," Diablo replied with a nod.

Rimuru's brow furrowed. That was a new one. It was like the demon came up with some new and increasingly strange way to address him on the daily. He wasn't even in slime form at the moment so it didn't even make sense. Meh, whatever.

Diablo bowed once more and hummed, "My claws are yours to do with what you wish. To render any enemy useless. To flay those that would dare wrong you. Oh, I quiver with anticipation at the mere thought of being your bloodied blade. Use me how you see fit."

Suddenly a lot more stressed about the situation, Rimuru held up a hand to silence the demon. Diablo was way too intense about this and there was only one thing left for him to say. Rimuru shook his head then sighed, "Actually, forget it. I don't need that favor after all."

Letting him off the hook was definitely the best bet. Then he could get back to doing whatever it was that kept him busy when he didn't have a mission to complete. Wins all around, as far as Rimuru was concerned. ...Right? He made a choked sound when Diablo visibly drooped.

The demon looked like a poor wilted flower, forgotten by its neglectful owner. A starving cat, declawed and too pathetic to catch its own meal. A kicked puppy, who only ever wanted to please its cruel master. No matter how one looked at it, Rimuru was the horrible one in the situation and he was making his most loyal companion suffer for it. And He absolutely couldn't deal with any of that.

"I-it was nothing, really!" Rimuru cried in admittedly a little bit of a panic. "I was just going to ask you to gather me some samples of that rare plant which grows on the isolated mountain top to the north. You know, the one that's impossible to reach if you can't fly."

Diablo tilted his head and replied, "If it's my wings you desire, I will gladly tear them from my own back for you."

"No, nope! Don't do that!" Rimuru yelped. He slammed his hands on the desk and stood abruptly, as if that'd somehow emphasize his point. "I desire that you stay in one piece!" He paused to let that sink in. It was very important, after all.

Rimuru let out a soft sigh. He rubbed the back of his neck while he considered what to say next. Finally, he muttered, "Just... go there yourself and bring me back a basketful of samples. Simple."

"I'll see to it, my love." Diablo assured him.

Rimuru flinched. "Your what?"

"Lord." Diablo replied without missing a beat. He nodded once then added, "You will not be disappointed. Surely you'll be quivering with joy as well when I return."

"Right... Remember, no mutilation," Rimuru felt obligated to remind him, "self or otherwise."

Diablo grinned and bowed once again. Then he disappeared. Quick as he'd shown up, he was gone. Rimuru finally let out an exasperated sigh. Dealing with that guy was exhausting. But it wasn't all bad, he supposed.

He sat back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling. The demon was honest about his feelings to a fault. It made Rimuru uncomfortable at first but now that he was used to it, he actually kind of liked it. Rimuru leaned his left elbow on the table then rested his chin against his knuckles.

Maybe he should prepare a special treat for Diablo's return. What would make him happy? Literally anything because he was the easiest creature to please. Something as simple as telling him "good job" would have him on cloud nine for days.

hes jus So Normal. the most hinged.
