Chapter 7: Comfort

After their quickie, y/n was fixing herself and beryl was passed out on bed, before she leaves she kisses beryl's forehead and left "rest well pups".

Y/n went to mephisto's lab where Leon's breakfast was ready "you are quite late, y/n". He smirks as he looks at y/n, he was sitting on the sofa waiting for y/n.

"Sorry, I was doing something that I didn't finish last night"

"I see,but..."

He approaches y/n and sniffs her, mephisto was getting suspicious

"You smell different, I wonder why?~

Y/n then gets anxious, she was glad she was wearing her mask (that can change her voice into male) she then laughs it off

"Hahahahah, maybe because I didn't bathe before coming here, I was exhausted yesterday because of fighting deus that I passed out when I arrived in my room (which we know it's a lie)

Mephisto looks at her and smirks which y/n felt chill in her immediately. She quickly takes action and took Leon's food and quickly walking away.

"I'll be going now,bye!"

She then left. Mephisto watches her as she leaves and chuckles at himself as he puts his hand on his chin.

"My my, looks like deus made a move first"

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Y/n knocks at Leon's room before she comes in, she sees him at the balcony staring out of nowhere, she puts the food down on the table ant takes of her mask and walks towards the entrance balcony and leans on the side.

"Time to eat"

"Oh,y/n"

He turns around and looks at her with dull eyes, y/n smiles at him.

They both ate together at the table, after eating, as y/n drinks her water, Leon asks y/n with a stern voice.

"who did you slept with?"

She spits out some of the water and coughs and the spitted water landed on Leon's face. There was a minute of silence silent.

"So-sorry Leon, could you repeat what you said"

She asks as she stands and wents to his side to wipe his face. As y/n wipes his face, Leon grabbed gently her hand that she use to wipe his face and looks at him with stern but soft eyes.

"Who found out?"

She sighs and stands straight. Leon knows she is honest around him and wouldn't dare to lie, he trusts her more than himself.

"Deus last night while patrolling then beryl this morning"

"So that's why your late, I thought you overslept"

"Yeah sorry about that, I should've said it earlier"

She looks down on the floor with bit of guilt when suddenly Leon pulls her to his lap and hugs her from behind as she snuggles to her neck, smelling her scent.

"To be honest, I'm getting jealous, I know this will happen, but I never knew it will be this soon."

He says softly to her, they both knew she can't hide forever, pretending to be a male when she's actually a female.

She sighs and grabs the side of his face and gives a kiss and leans her forehead to his side of his face.

"Still, I will always prioritize you first than myself, because I know your not from here....neither do I."

She says softly as they continue to snuggle on each other on Leon's lap, appreciating and loving the comfort of each other.

Leon remember the days when they snuggle together even before he got weaken, she was always by her side, he loved her and will do anything.

Because she was the one who saved him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I should get going now"

She puts on her mask and picks up the empty tray of food. As she was about to open the door, Leon hugged her from behind one last time.

"I love you"

She takes off her mask on her mouth and kisses his forehead.

"I love you too"

She then left and went back mephisto's lab to return the empty the tray.

"Oh y/n~ could you help me with something~"

She got startled as mephisto appeared behind her out of nowhere.

"Jeez mephisto, wth"

"Apologies, but can you kindly help me, my assistant"

He looks at her with a sly smile, she got a bad feeling about this.

"What is it, mephisto?"

"Nothing much, just pass me the things that I'm requesting"

He then goes to a table and was doing some surgery on a creature that passed through the portal.

She passes the things he was requesting without a mistake. While operating the monster, mephisto takes small glances at her then goes back to work, she noticed it and ignored it.

"Small knife" (or whatever is called I don't know)

She hands it to mephisto and he purposely cuts its lungs when it suddenly popped out unknown liquid and it got all over y/n's clothes.

Y/n quickly wipes the droplets of her mask. While y/n was busy drying herself off, mephisto stares at her in awe.

The now wet clothes hugs her curves and her chest, and he can see abit of her feminine face. He smirks to himself while looking at her with lust and predatory and says in a deep dark husky tone"

"Looks like my suspicioun were confirmed"
