Absence of Love

Demons do not love.

They are pleasure seekers that bring naught but destruction. They are the ones who find joy in the pain of others. They are the monsters.

They don't care about others.

They only care about themselves.

Therefore, Mephisto does not either.

He is sharp wit and amusement. He is the one that plots and plans but never gets attached. He is the puppet master who pulls the strings. He is a devil wrapped in a facade of clown clothes and grins.

Mephisto does not care about others.

So when he heard that Shiro Fugimoto was dead, he was not sad. He did not stare at the phone long after he received the news. The grin did not slip from his lips. He did not scream or throw his custom made 'Mephisto Pink' controller out the window.

That would be silly.

That would mean he cared.

Which he didn't. He was demon after all.

And he most definitely did not cry.

Mephisto did not love.

And he most defiantly did not love Shiro Fugimoto.

Not one bit.

So of course, the tears in Mephisto's eyes were nothing more than an illusion.

That was the only explanation.

Demons do not love, after all.


As always, reviews equal love,
