Only Human Altar boy!ItalyxDemon!Reader Part 4
"Gilbert, you sure weren't kidding when you said this place was abandoned." You said as you gazed up at the empty house. Gilbert gave the odd laugh of his.
"Kesesesese, I know right? A girl I, um, knew* showed it to me. I figured it would be a perfect location for our purposes, should we ever need it." Lovino looked uneasy as you and Gilbert led him through the house and down to the basement. Noticing his expression, you stopped Lovino at the bottom of the stairs.
"You can still back out you know." You muttered. "Once this deal is made, you can't back out." Lovino ignored you. He pushed past you and strode over to inspect the altar set up in the center of the room. Several minutes later, Ludwig joined you, Gilbert, and Lovino in the basement.
"I brought everything we'll need." Ludwig said, holding a plastic bag up for your inspection.
"Excellent." You reached into the bag and pulled out a long tapered knife. You twisted it so as to let it catch the artificial light from the harsh overhead bulbs.
"What are you going to do with that?" A nervous Lovino asked. You grinned while you slowly and deliberately slit your wrist with the knife. Unfazed and without missing a beat, Ludwig had a clear plastic bowl beneath your bleeding wrist.
"Let us begin." You said. When the bottom of the bowl was covered in your golden blood, Ludwig added some herbs to the bowl while Gilbert yanked Lovino's arms behind his back and bent him against the altar.
"W-What are you doing?" Lovino demanded. You grinned at him, amused.
"You're only now beginning to freak out? We're granting your wish, stupid." With the tip of your finger you stirred the contents of the bowl.
"Tell me, what is it that you desire?" You asked in an ominous voice. Ludwig placed his hand on Lovino's forehead. Lovino's unease vanished as soon as Ludwig's palm touched the Italian's skin. You were grateful that Ludwig, like all demons all demons with their respective sins, could insight greed in whomever he touched. It certainly had its uses.
"I want charisma." Lovino's response surprised you. If you could have any wish grant, you certainly wouldn't have picked that one. (Wish you would want granted) was more your speed.
"Seriously?"
"People always have preferred my brother. He's better at everything than I am. If I had his charisma, everyone would love me." You shrugged.
"Whatever, it's your soul."
"Mi scusi?"
"The price for us giving you whatever you wanted is your soul. Didn't you know that?" You dropped your human guise to reveal your demon form. To his credit, Lovino didn't scream, curse, or do any of the other things most of the people in his position generally did. Instead he simply nodded.
"Will I live longer?" He asked.
"Your life will not be extended nor will it be shortened. Do you still wish to continue?"
"Yes."
"Bottoms up." You said as you picked up the bowl and poured the blood and herbs into Lovino's open mouth. Lovino made a face as foul the mixture went down.
"How's it taste?" Gilbert inquired with a sneer.
"Like boiled socks."
"Then it worked." Gilbert let go of Lovino and stood by the stairs.
"Once you pay up, you are free to leave." You said, holding out one hand.
"How do I give you my soul?" Lovino asked. You smirked.
"'Come into my parlor said the spider to the fly.'" You quoted as you circled Lovino. When you were behind him, you pounced on his back and bit his neck.
"What the heck was that?!" Lovino shrieked, pushing you away and slapping his hand over his violated neck.
"That was me taking your soul." You said after drawing a fist sized blue ball out of your mouth.
"This is the weirdest night of my life. First a hot demon chick picks me up at a bar, then I make a deal with said demon, and to top it all off get my soul sucked out my neck." You shrugged.
"Hey, no accounting for taste." Lovino rolled his eyes and climbed the stairs. Unbeknownst to you, he would not survive the night. Normally something like a human dying after he made a deal would not affect you. This time, however, it would…
*By 'knew' Gilbert means 'tempted'.
