Pretend (Diavolo x reader)

Y/N's POV

"This is going to be a little awkward..." I mumbled to myself as I waited for Diavolo to pick me up. My eyes kept scanning over the text conversation we just had. I had to pretend to be Diavolo's girlfriend so he could a limited-time crepe topping.

As I sighed, Diavolo texted and said that he was outside. I made my way downstairs, and opened the front door in the foyer. Diavolo was standing there with his hand outstretched towards me.

"Are you ready to go, Y/N?" I nodded as I carefully grasped his hand, which was bigger than mine. Surprisingly, his gently gripped it as he lead me out the door. I glanced behind me, and saw Lucifer glaring down at me from upstairs.

"Is something wrong? You seem a little pale." Diavolo asked as we started walking towards his castle, where the crepe stand was. I chuckled awkwardly as I glanced away.

"I think Lucifer is going to murder me when I get back..."

"Don't worry. I'll make sure he doesn't do anything to you. As your boyfriend for the day, I need to protect you." He smiled at me, and I felt like I could trust him on this. I glanced at his arm, and clung onto it subconsciously. He looked at me and raised an eyebrow.

"W-We need to look convincing right? So...can I stay like this?" Diavolo laughed as he nodded at me. I noticed a few passing demons were staring at the two of us. I decided to do my best to ignore them.

I could see the crepe stand getting closer to us, and I could feel a childlike energy radiating off of Diavolo. When we got to the stand, I clung on tighter to his arm.

"Hello there. Me and my girlfriend were wondering if we try the limited-time topping special." The lady working the stand seemed surprised at the word "girlfriend", but quickly composed herself.

"Of course, my Lord! Please wait a moment while I make them." The lady began making the crepes. I could feel myself almost drooling as the lady added the toppings on the crepes.

Once she was finished, she handed the crepes to me. Diavolo reached into his pocket to grab some grimm. I curiously looked at the small violet-colored blob with a small spoon in it.

"Excuse me, but what is this stuff? Is it ice cream?" The lady smirked a little bit as she pointed to the blob.

"Indeed it is. That's our secret lover's ice cream recipe. If you feed your lover the ice cream, you'll have a happy relationship with them." I stared down at the ice cream, and glanced back up at Diavolo, who was handing the lady some grimm.

"Thank you. Darling, would you like to come over for a while?" Diavolo turned to me and asked. I realized that one, I had been staring at him the whole time, and two, he just called me darling so nonchalantly. I glanced away out of embarrassed.

"Y-Yes..." I handed him his crepe, and he used his free hand to grab my free hand. We walked up to the front door, and Barbatos was waiting for the two of us.

"Welcome back, my lord. I see you've brought Y/N with you." Barbatos opened the door for us, and we walked inside. I felt so small compared to inside the castle. It was almost like I was just a small doll in a dollhouse.

"Let's go to my room and try these crepes." We walked into his bedroom, and sat down on the very fluffy-looking couch. I noticed that me and Diavolo weren't taking bites yet.

I noticed the little spoon still sticking out of the ice cream scoop, and I swallowed. My brain was arguing with my heart on whether or not I should take the chance and try to feed Diavolo the ice cream.

I picked up the small spoon and scooped up some of the ice cream, and turned to face Diavolo. To my surprise, as I held out the spoon to Diavolo, there was a spoon close to my face. I looked up, and his golden eyes were staring back at me.

"U-Um..." I wasn't sure what to say or do. Diavolo suddenly parted his lips a little bit, but didn't say anything. As if we had telepathy, I knew what he was doing.

I slowly slid the spoon into his mouth, and he took the ice cream off of the spoon. He then looked at me expectantly, and I hesitated for a second before opening my own mouth. He placed the spoon inside, and I swallowed the ice cream. It tasted pretty good.

"It seems we came up with the same idea." Diavolo said as he smiled at me. My heart skipped a beat as he scooted closer to me on the couch. Feeling embarrassed again, I took a bite of the crepe to temporarily distract myself.

"S-So...um...was this your way of asking me ou-?" Diavolo leaned in, and held my cheek, keeping my head in place. He traced my lips with his thumb, and let go of my cheek.

"You had some whipped cream on your face." He gave me a playful wink as he licked his thumb. My entire face got as red as a tomato. Diavolo just chuckled as he looked me in the E/C eyes again.

"Y/N, would you like to be my girlfriend?"

"Y-Yes!" I beamed at him. He smiled at me as I took another bite of my crepe. I made a little noise of satisfaction. The crepe was extremely good. Diavolo took a bite of his too.

"I'm glad I decided to ask you to be my fake girlfriend. Now you're my actual girlfriend!" Diavolo laughed again. I let out a small chuckle as I looked up at him. Once he looked at me, he cupped my cheek again.

"M-More whipped cre-?" His soft lips pressed against my own. I was in shock as he moved away from my face. He took the little spoon, and held more ice cream out for me.

"I just wanted to kiss you. Say "ahh~" I blushed again as I made the noise as he slid the spoon in my mouth. I did the same to him, except I was too shy to ask him to make the noise.

We continued to feed each other the entire scoop of ice cream, and then finished off our crepes. I stayed for a few more hours at the castle, mostly being held by Diavolo, who is apparently a cuddly person.

When it was time to walk back home, he offered to take me back, which made me really happy. We held hands as we talked about possible future dates we could go on, and which places to go. The walk seemed to pass by quickly, and before we knew it we had arrived at the House of Lamentation.

"So I'll see you at school tomorrow? Don't forget you can eat in my office anytime you like."

"But you probably have so much paperwork. I wouldn't want to bother you..." Diavolo placed a light kiss on my cheek, and rubbed his thumb against it.

"I'll be fine. Besides, having you around would make me work even harder. I'll see you tomorrow, darling." He teased as he left me alone, standing in front of the door. I still wasn't used to that nickname yet.

When I finally composed myself, I turned around and opened the door. However, I nearly screamed as I saw Mammon standing near the door with his jaw wide open, looking out at the window. He had seen everything that just happened.

"P-Please don't tell Lucifer! He'll kill me."

"Kill you for what?" This time, I let out a yelp as I turned around to see Lucifer standing there with his phone in his hand. Mammon looked too, and ran off somewhere in the manor. I nervously chuckled.

"Nothing. Nothing at all."

"You know that won't work on me. And Lord Diavolo has already informed me of your...relationship."

"A-And....?"

"You are very lucky that I cannot harm someone close to Lord Diavolo. I cannot do anything to stop the two of you. Do as you please." Lucifer turned on his heel, and left the foyer. Part of me felt like laughing.
