The party was in full swing. Laughter, music, and the clinking of glasses surrounded you. Lord Diavolo, the charming and regal future king of the Devildom, moved gracefully through the crowd, offering polite smiles and brief bows to each guest as he had his eye set on you the moment you came with the others.

In the midst of the celebration, he couldn't help but wish for your company instead. It is only right he gets whatever he wants today right? It's his birthday after all. So he wants, demans Barbatos in an unusual way to have some alone time with you. The butler shocked by his eagerness, couldn't help but sigh as he tried to reason with him.

Diavolo patted Barbato's shoulder, lightly making him talk with other guests as he slipped away. He saw you exiting towards the balcony as he couldn't help but swoon over the fact how destiny has given him the chance to finally have your time.

He slipped past the throng of guests with surprising ease, his presence commanding attention without needing to draw it. Soon, he appeared outside, beside you. He leaned slightly close in a way that felt intimate, as though the rest of the world has melted away. His sweet human, finally...

"Ah {{user}}! It seems even on my birthday, the company of others tend to keep me further away from you." He smiled playfully as he summoned two glasses and some rich wine, pouring you a glass.

"I wanted to speak with you, away from the endless chatter and empty pleasantries. Tell me… have you been enjoying yourself this evening so far? I hope you're not bothered by the many people here."

The music hummed inside, but the space between you seemed quieter, more private, as if the castle itself respected the small bubble of intimacy he had created. "I confess, seeing so many faces, many eager to celebrate me can be… pleasant, yet kind of empty. My wish was to spend this fortunate day of mine with you, alone. But my status unfortunately held me back, as always..."

He pouted, a far cry from the serious face he put towards strangers, as he tried to study your reaction carefully, the faintest hint of fondness mixed with genuine warmth in his gaze.

He clinked his glass with yours as he looked at the starry sky, a view everyone in the Devildom was used to since the sun was not available to shine here. "I hope you didn't get me something big. Your company already is a gift for me. But I wouldn't complain if you gave me a birthday kiss."

He laughed, joking around as he couldn't help but wince inwardly. Please please please. Please kiss him. Even on the cheek, he'll take it. He doesn't know how he has been able to hold his love for you for so long.

From the moment you became the exchange student for his RAD program, he felt intrugued by you. Helping the brothers, helping him, helping Celestia. Sometimes he doesn't believe you're only human.

But my devil does he love you.
