#mc!shae

She can’t remember when class actually started, completely blocking out the professor’s voice as he goes on about some sort of chemistry equation up on the board. Honestly, she’s got more important things on her mind right now. Her fingers twirl a strand of dark hair that frames her burning face as she thinks back to the brief moment they shared in the hallway. The Avatar of Greed tended to be completely oblivious to certain things…her feelings included. Suddenly, she’s not sitting in the classroom anymore. Instead, she finds that she’s landed back in that very corridor, other demons brushing past her in slow motion. She almost loses her balance as she suddenly finds herself surrounded. It wasn’t long before she felt the familiar sensation of a shoulder bumping into her. Quickly, she spins around to see Mammon continuing to make his way to his next class. Where is he going? Why didn’t he stop? Didn’t he see her? A pang of longing burns in her chest as she stares after him, trying to formulate her next step in her head. 

You brush past me in the hallway and you don’t think I can see you, do you? 

His tall frame disappears into the crowd, leaving her standing in place, clutching the strap of her bag hanging from her shoulder. Feeling frozen to her spot, Shae forces herself to take a step forward. Everything in her is screaming to go after him. To make her move. Finally, with a burst of courage, she pushes through the rush of RAD students. She begins following the direction that Mammon disappeared in, her eyes wide with anticipation of seeing him again. I’m not missing my chance with him this time, she thinks. When she makes her way out of the crowd, she spots him. He’s standing down at the end of the hall next to his locker. He’s fixated on his D.D.D., unaware of her piercing violet gaze on him. Her heart begins to beat fast again as he glances up from his phone, finally noticing her hesitation from down the hall. His golden gaze meets hers, and a slow smirk begins to form on his face. He slides his D.D.D into the pocket of his uniform pants, which are wrinkled and unkempt. She remembers Lucifer lecturing him about it before they left this morning, but she can’t help but adore that about him. He leans back against his locker, thumbs hooked into his pants pockets. His eyes never once left hers…almost like he was waiting for her. 

I can see you, waiting down the hall from me. 

Shae’s body seems to move on its own. She slowly approaches him and is taken aback when he gives her a quick wink before turning away and disappearing around the corner. Shae swallows hard, confusion and anger beginning to bubble in her chest in place of the nerves. What the hell is he doing? Was he not just waiting for me to come over here? Quickly, she sprints forward to chase him down. He always pulled shit like this. She rounds the corner when she bumps into something- no; someone. Someone who she can recognize by only the scent of his cologne; the half done up yellow tie and unbuttoned uniform shirt. She glances up at him, knowing her face has to be burning red. “H-Hey. Found you…finally.” She breathes nervously, her voice betraying her by trembling slightly. She waits for him to say something, but he only mumbles a brief, “Quick, come with me.” before grabbing her hand and pulling her with him into a nearby supply closet. Mammon closes the door quietly behind them, and finally turns around to face her. “Sorry, ya gotta be sneaky ‘round here. Never know who is watchin’ us.” He shoots her a smirk once more as he begins to move towards her. Shae’s hands are shaking as he gets closer. It’s not a very big closet, so he reaches her easily within a few strides. She’s face to face with him now, causing her to tip her head upwards to meet his gaze. Her hands are wavering as she finds them moving on their own, the deep desire to touch him taking over her thoughts. 

What would you do if I went to touch you now?

Her hand reaches up to rest on his cheek. It’s warm and she watches as his tanned skin begins to redden. “Yo.” he mumbles, nuzzling his cheek into her hand. His eyes flutter shut briefly, relaxing into the sensation of her soft hand resting on his burning skin. Shae giggles, grazing her thumb across his lips. He opens his mouth to catch her thumb delicately between his teeth, causing her to blush again. “You’re just teasin’ me, yanno?” This time Shae smirks as she slowly moves her face closer to replace her thumb with her lips. Mammon inhales sharply at the impact, slowly wrapping his arms around her as he returns the kiss. Shae lets out a small moan as the kiss deepens, and Mammon begins to back her up further into the closet. His lips are moving fiercely against hers now, and his hands are roaming up and down her sides, where they finally fall and rest against her hips. “Damn, Shae. You drive me crazy.” He breathes in between kisses, feeling her moving her hips so they are pressed firmly against his own. “Then do something about it. I won't tell.” She teases, reaching up to run her fingers through his now sweaty, silver bangs. 

I can see you up against the wall with me. 

With a growl, Mammon hoists Shae up so her legs are wrapped around his hips and her back is resting against the wall. His hands are holding her up by the underside of her thighs and he continues to kiss her feverishly. Between breathless kisses and heavy panting, his jacket is thrown on the floor. At some point, his tie is also loosened by Shae’s shaky fingers and his uniform shirt is fully unbuttoned, exposing the flushed, tanned skin of his chest. Beads of sweat are pooling in his collarbones as the temperature in the closest seems to drastically increase. Shae’s jacket is also tossed aside, and Mammon has unbuttoned her shirt, exposing her lacey, purple bra. He moves down to kiss her chest, and nip at the exposed flesh of her cleavage, savoring the small gasps and sighs escaping her lips. As he licks and nips at her chest, she feels a hand run up underneath her skirt. The feeling of his rough fingertips grazing over the soft flesh of her thighs cause her breathing to grow heavier and heavier. 

His white hair tickles her nose as he takes his time sucking purple bruises onto the pale skin of her breasts. Shae gasps, tightening her arms around his neck as she feels the sensation of his teeth grazing against her nipple. Apparently he had moved her bra out of the way at some point. She honestly didn’t care as he took the tiny bud into his mouth, sucking feverishly. “M-Mams…please…” she whines softly, running her fingers through his hair. He glances up at her briefly before finally releasing her nipple. “That good, babe?” he smirks, bringing his head up to rest his forehead against hers. Nodding, Shae takes the opportunity to place another kiss against his swollen, red lips. “Fuck yes, more than good.” Mammon chuckles, a mischievous glint shining in his half lidded golden gaze. “Just wait ‘till ya see half the things that haven’t happened yet. I’ve been waitin’ for eternity for ya to chase me down like this.” She can feel his hardness as he begins to grind into her, chasing the friction that they both desperately crave. Shae rolls her hips back into his, and gasps as he frantically ruts against her. Their soft moans fill the tiny closet, and Shae is almost sure they are being quiet enough. At least she thought so, until they were interrupted by hard knocks on the closet door. 

“...s…hae…lynn”

“Shaelynn…” “SHAELYNN!”

Suddenly, Shae is staring point blank into the face of her professor. “U-Uh, y-yes?” She stammers, still feeling heat pooling in her cheeks as well as…other places. “You’ve managed to doze off for the entire class. Are you feeling alright?” The demon asked, a look of concern showing on his face. She couldn’t blame him for being worried, it wasn’t like her to just start daydreaming for an entire class period. “Y-Yes, i’m fine. I’m Sorry, I think I must be coming down with something…” she muttered, gathering up her bag. Thankfully, most of the class had already left, and weren’t there to witness her embarrassment. “Well please go home and get some rest. I won’t let it slide again.” Shae nodded harshly as she practically sped out of the classroom. “I promise it won’t happen again!” 

As she left the classroom, she once again bumped into someone. She glanced up, her face still burning red from embarrassment - amongst other emotions. “M-Mammon?!” She squeaked, clutching her bag strap to her shoulder. This was the very last (and also the very first) person she really wanted to see right now while she was in this state. “Yo. I Heard from the twins that you were fallin’ asleep in class. I’m supposed to be lookin’ after ya and here you go causin’ all sorts of trouble!” As he stood there lecturing her, the only thing she could focus on was how she didn’t think her face could get any hotter. Of course the twins were in class with her, they witnessed the entire thing…and of course they would go blab to Mammon about it.  “So, ya wanna tell me about what’s goin’ on with you today? Belphie would only give me a stupidly annoying smirk when I asked about it. ” Laughing nervously, Shae brushed her hand against his as they began to walk down the hallway together, ready to head home for the day. But she really didn’t want to go home just yet…this could finally be her chance. She let out a small chuckle, “You wouldn’t believe half the things I see inside my head.” Mammon glanced down at her, clearly confused. “Whaddya mean?” This time it was Shae’s turn to smirk as she began to pick up her pace. He gaped after her as she spun around to face him, “I’ll meet you down at the end of the hallway!” 

The warmth of the house welcomes them with a cozy embrace as they wander through the doors. Shae sighs, feeling herself begin to thaw out almost immediately. "I've never been so cold in my life." She mumbles, stripping off her jacket. Mammon chuckles, plucking Shae's hat off of her head, leaving her raven black hair tousled and messy. "Ugh, Mams, why-" but her words are silenced as his lips meet hers. "Cause you are just so damned cute, ya know? I can't help it." Shae blushes, leaning in to bury her face into his chest. "Well you don't have to mess up my hair." Mammon laughs, reaching his hand up to mess up her hair even more. "Go get into something comfy and meet me in the living room, I'll get us something warm to drink."

Shae makes her way to her room, slipping out of her cold, damp clothing. She pulls on a pair of leggings, along with one of Mammon's hoodies she had kept after she had asked to "borrow" it one day. Lastly, she pulls on a pair of fuzzy socks, hoping that they will help bring feeling back to her toes. Grabbing her blanket off of her bed, she hurries back down the hall to claim her spot on the couch in front of the fireplace. Snuggling down in her blanket, she waits patiently for Mammon.

Her eyes begin to droop as her body relaxes, finally feeling warm again from the fire. "Oi, you ain't gonna fall asleep on me already, are ya?" Mammon's voice startles her, causing her eyes to shoot open. He's standing above her, staring at her over the back of the couch as he holds a mug in each hand. She notices he's also changed into a pair of sweatpants and a t shirt. Shaking her head, Shae pulls the blanket up past her nose, attempting to hide the blush that she's pretty sure has formed on her cheeks. "Of course not, I was just bored waiting for you!" Mammon chuckles, his golden gaze shining down at her with adoration. "You look so cozy." Shae reaches a hand out from under the blanket to pat the vacant spot next to her. "Then come join me?" The white haired demon doesn't hesitate as he sets the mugs of tea down on the coffee table. He slides comfortably onto the couch next to her, his arms instinctively wrapping themselves around her. Shae sighs softly as he gently pulls her into his familiar embrace. "I love you, Mams." She murmurs, resting her head against his chest. Mammon hums, leaning in to press a kiss against her forehead. Shae's heart flutters in her chest as she feels his lips form into a slow grin. "Now don't go tellin' anyone or anything but uh...I love ya too."

She had only wanted to go back to the human world for a couple of days to visit her family as well as get some of her favorite treats from the farmers market that is always open near her home in the fall season. But of course, she usually also got sick this time of year as well. Grabbing her D.D.D. off her nightstand, she decides to send Lucifer a quick text. 

Hey, Luci. I won’t be going to classes today, I think I caught some sort of disease from the human world.

She figures he probably won’t see it right away, as he’s most likely busy hustling his brothers down for breakfast and soon enough they’ll be out the door for the day. However, she doesn’t have the energy to stay awake waiting for his reply. Instead, she snuggles back under her covers while sleep takes over her once more. 

****

The pounding in her head and the inability to breathe stirs her awake again. She groans, rolling over to check the time. It’s mid morning now, and she figures she’s now alone in the house. Another sneeze captures her and she reaches for the box of tissues on her nightstand, also grabbing her D.D.D. in the process. She sees that she has a text from Lucifer from earlier that morning. 

Please take the day to rest then. I’ve sent Mammon to grab you some medicine. He should be there shortly. 

Her heart flutters at the mention of Mammon. Knowing her boyfriend, he’s probably worried himself sick by now. Just then, a small knock sounds at her door before it opens up and Mammon is inviting himself in. “Comin’ in.” he mumbles, carrying a bag of  things over to the table. “Uh, what’s the point of knocking if you’re just going to come in anyways?” Shae asks, rolling her eyes and pulling the covers up to her chin. “Hey, you could be dying’ in here you’re lucky I even knocked!” he quipped. “Besides, I knew you were going to need this.” Shae glanced down at the box of cold medicine and the bottle of water that he was holding and practically sobbed tears of joy. “Oh thank god.” she says, taking both the water and the box from his hand. “I dunno why you’re thankin’ Him, I did all the work.” It’s Mammon’s turn to roll his eyes as Shae giggles, opening up the box and popping a tablet into her mouth. “Sorry, I mean thank YOU, Oh Great Mammon.” The white haired demon snorts, picking up the bag of stuff he had brought and carried it over to her bed. “Well lucky for you, I brought some more things to make you feel better. Everyone wanted to give you something to cheer ya up.” Shae watches as he pulls out a couple of video games, a couple of books, a sachet of tea, a bath bomb, her favorite fuzzy blanket from the attic, and even some of her favorite snacks. “Wow, Mams, thank you…” she sniffs, her violet eyes growing watery at the thought of the brothers all picking out something for her. “Wait, I got the best for last! Are ya cold?” He squints as he glances down at her arms, attempting to investigate for goosebumps. “I know You’re always cold even when you aren’t sick, so I brought you one of my sweaters.” He grins, pulling out a chunky knit, brown patterned sweater. It had fall leaf designs, as well as several stripes of deep reds, browns, and golden hues that were perfect for the fall season. Shae’s heart grew warm at the thought of wearing Mammon’s sweater. “You know me so well.” she grins. Mammon motions for her to lift her arms up, and suddenly her shirt is being lifted over her head. The sudden exposure to the cool air causes her skin to actually form goosebumps this time, but is quickly replaced by the soft material of Mammon’s sweater being pulled over her head. “There, now you’ll be nice and toasty.”

Shae snuggles back down into bed as Mammon heads to the kitchen to make her a cup of tea from the sachet that Lucifer gave her. While he’s gone, she can’t help herself from pressing the sleeves of the sweater to her face, inhaling the scent. It smells like him, his cologne mixed with the musky smell of an old drawer. She was convinced that this was all she needed to make her feel better. Mammon returns with 2 cups of tea, handing Shae one as he climbs into the empty spot next to her. She breathes in the steam from the cup, and her shoulders relax as it begins to clear her sinuses. It smells like peppermint and honey, and Shae practically melts at the added warmth in her hand…and her bed. “Thank you, Mams. I feel better already.” Mammon smiles, leaning over to press a kiss against her temple. “It’s my job to take care of ya.” He pauses, a flush forming on his cheeks. “Both as your boyfriend and your protector.” Shae giggles, leaning into his shoulder. “I’m the luckiest human in the Devildom for sure.” 

They sit together for a while, talking and watching out her window as rain begins to patter against the glass. The sound is soothing, and mixed with the warmth of the tea, Shae’s eyes grow heavy once again. Mammon takes notice of this, watching as her eyes begin to flutter and gently takes the cup of tea out of her hand. “Oi, Shae, how about ya get some rest now?” Shae blinks, realizing she had been about to doze off. Yawning, she snuggles back down into the blankets. “Okay. But you’ll stay with me, right?” Mammon smiles, turning over on his side to face her. “Of course I ain’t goin’ nowhere. I’m staying right here with you in case ya need anything.” Shae smiles, pressing her forehead to his. “Thank you. I love you, Mams.” The white haired demon blushes, pecking her lips with a quick kiss as her eyes finally flutter shut. “I love ya more. Now go to sleep and get better so I can kiss ya all I want!”
