" mama... s-samael and i are... we're getting married..! " murasaki announced, her cheeks a vibrant red, a smile spread across her face, though a hint of worry still rested somewhere within her, showing in her grey eyes and how she fidgeted with her sleeves. she had asked him a few times if he was certain he wanted someone... someone like HER, and the demon reassured her every single time, but it was within her nature to question, to worry, to FEAR that the people she loved would one day LEAVE.
since day one, sorun did not like mephisto pheles. he made their blood boil and the demon just… couldn’t put a finger on why. maybe it was his arrogance? his incessant teasing? that stupid smirk on his face? how he always had his eyes on their daughter? they just didn’t like him, even more so when he began to date murasaki. sorun did try to turn their burgeoning hatred for the demon king into happiness for their daughter. after all, she’s happy, isn’t she? he does love her and care about her and it’s clear that he makes her feel better with herself. that’s a good thing, of course! they are truly, truly happy for her, that she’s found someone she loves that loves her in return, even if… that person is mephisto pheles. sorun has forced themself to admit to that, despite his attitude toward the demon, he was good for her. her change in demeanor has not gone unnoticed. she was a little more confident, stood a little taller, her aura grew a little brighter.
mephisto pheles, though an ass, is good for her. good to her. he makes her happy. that is what matters.
perhaps the announcement of marriage was inevitable. sorun saw the love in both their eyes, clear as day. they suppose it just isn’t something they wanted to think of. mephisto pheles, son-in-law. the first time the demon had that thought, it viscerally made them gag. instead of that reaction now, they smile. of course they’re happy for her. she’s getting married!
sorun reaches out and cups her face in their hands and bends down to press a kiss the top of her head. “ i am so happy for you, mura. truly, i am. “ arms wrap around her and they hold her close in a tight embrace. she’s come so far since they adopted her, hasn’t she? pulling away, they cup her face again and, as their smile grows, they kiss her forehead. “ do you have a date set? oh! do you want any help planning the wedding? i mean, i have never planned a wedding, of course, but i would most certainly be happy to try. “
