Chapter Text
You were out and about in the streets of Devildom, enjoying your time and having a relaxing walk, when your D.D.D went off, a text from Solomon
'MC, head to the Demon Lord's Castle. It's urgent.'
You were a bit confused and startled but nonetheless went to the castle immediately. Once you arrive, Solomon greeted you at the entrance, looking a bit worried (a rare occasion)
"MC, how are you feeling?"
"I'm feeling fine.. nothing out of the ordinary"
You replied, still confused about his worry
Solomon sighs in relief
"That's good to know, come, Diavolo needs to discuss a few things with you."
He said as he led you to Diavolo, who was calmly yet impatiently waiting for you
"MC"
Diavolo greeted in relief
"Fortunately, they are feeling well, but we still need to be alert just in case"
Solomon said
"I'll let you explain the rest, Diavolo."
"Alright.. MC, there's a virus going around that's infected a few demons, i've made sure that the brothers are quarantined in the House of Lamentation in case the virus can affect fallen angels too. So far, none of them have been showing symptoms, they're quite upset about being locked up again but we've managed to explain to them the situation to calm them down and have them settled, but now, i'm quite worried about you. We have no idea if the virus can affect you.."
Diavolo explained
You took a moment to think about what he had just explained to you, you thought back to the last few days if you've been feeling anything unusual, but nothing came to mind.
"Can you tell me more about this- vampiritis thing going on?"
You asked
"As the name suggests, vampiritis is a virus that when infected, you will be turned into a vampire, we have an idea for a cure, but we're not too sure if it's effective, and if we take into consideration your body's immune system, i don't think you can be cured as easily as demons.."
Solomon said
"So, for now, for your safety, you will be quarantined at Cocytus Hall until further notice. Solomon will be observing your behavior and your physical state, while me and Barbatos do further research on the virus."
Diavolo stated
You nod, understanding the situation, but at the same time, you think your immune system will do just fine keeping you healthy.
That is- until you get back to Cocytus Hall and become more aware of how you felt.
Only a few hours have passed, you've been checking your state, asking yourself "Am i craving blood or am i just anxious?" Over and over again.
Suddenly you felt a bit thirsty after awhile, you picked up your D.D.D and texted Solomon for a glass of water
'Sure thing!'
'Do you want me to cook something for you too?'
-No thanks, you can just order some food for us.-
-I'll starve by the time you're done cooking.-
You close your phone as you wait for Solomon to arrive with your water, once he knocked on your door, you walked over to open it
"Here's your water, MC."
Solomon smiled as he handed you your glass of water
"How are you feeling? No thirst for blood yet?"
He asked jokingly
"Nothing yet, i'm feeling just fine."
You smile half-heartedly at his joke as you took the glass
"Can you go order food now? I'm getting hungry."
You chuckle as Solomon nods and leaves you be
You close the door behind you and drink some of your water, but your thirst still isn't satisfied. You drink half of the glass, still to no avail. You place the glass down on the nightstand and lay down on your bed to see if the feeling goes away. You wait a few minutes, your throat starting to dry up, you've already finished your glass of water, yet you're still thirsty.
Shit.
You cough at the dryness of your throat, thinking if you caught the virus. You open your mouth and feel your canines. They got sharper.
Double shit.
You send a message to the group chat with everyone in it
'I think i caught the virus..'
The next thing that happened was a flood of worried texts from everyone, you could barely read what they were saying
While being bombarded with texts from everyone, Solomon knocked on your door
"Do you think you can hold yourself back when i enter?"
he asked, not yet entering your room
"I mean, if you can't hold back.. i wouldn't mind letting you have some of my blood"
He teased
"Just kidding"
This sorcerer will be the death of you one day.
"Yeah, i think i can."
You reply, a bit anxious as he walked in
Then, you smelled something sweet. As Solomon walked closer, the smell only got stronger and more irresistible.
Shit shit shit, you really did get it.
You place your hands tightly over your nose and mouth to try and block off the sweet smell
"Don't come any closer! You smell sweet.."
You confessed, to which Solomon chuckled at
"Well.. i guess you really did get it"
He said as he walked closer to you
"I said don't come any closer!"
You exclaimed, taking a step away from him
Solomon sighed
"Hmm.. how about i take you to the Demon Lord's Castle and we discuss about it there?
He offered, you nod, still keeping your hands firmly pressed against your nose and mouth
".. Does blood smell that sweet to you?"
He asked
You nod, you don't dare open your mouth, he smells too sweet, and if you open your mouth to talk, you feel like you'd devour him on the spot
"Let's put you to sleep for now, ok?"
Solomon smiled softly to comfort and reassure you
You nod once again as Solomon casts a sleeping spell on you
When you wake up, you find yourself in a room at the Demon Lord's Castle. You weren't behind bars or in a cage, instead, you were on a bed, in a spacious room, but you can tell there was an enchantment placed in the room for your and everyone else's safety.
You heard a knock on the door and you see Solomon walk in
"How's my cute apprentice feeling?"
He greeted with a warm smile
"Like shit."
You said, groaning as you sit up and scratch the back of your neck
"I figured."
Solomon chuckled as he stopped after a few steps into the room, a few feet away from you
"An enchantment barrier?"
You asked
"Yup. I already talked to Diavolo and Barbatos, they're worried but this is what we could think of for the meantime.."
Solomon said, looking a bit sulky by the end of his sentence
"Cheer up, Solomon. I'll be good before you know it. Just- keep everyone away from me for now. You smell extremely sweet right now, and i can't imagine how sweet everyone else would smell.."
You said as you pinched your nose to block out the smell, of course it was useless to do so
Solomon chuckled at that
"Alright, i'll tell everyone. They're talking with Diavolo right now for ways to find you a cure, he's forbidden them to see you, even for a second"
He added
"If you need anything, just call or text me"
He smiled
"And if i asked for blood?"
You jokingly asked, to which Solomon laughed
"Well.. i could give you mine.. but unfortunately that wouldn't be recommended"
He chuckled as he left the room
Once he left, you buried your face in the pillows, taking deep breaths to calm your thirst. Your brain is running a hundred miles an second, thinking about what you can do to stop these urges, if you could even control yourself longer. You don't want to hurt anyone just to satisfy your wants..
But you can't help it.
Based on the smell of Solomon's blood alone makes you go nuts. How would you even react if you faced the brothers? Would you able to stop yourself? Or would you let yourself have a little taste of them?
Hopefully the enchantment is strong enough to withstand your desire.
