Belphegor had once yawned his way upon a man’s wailings—how a woman had cursed him, stolen his wealth, his own, rotted him until death became a cheery smile and blessed moment.

The Sin found… intrigue. In such a thought. Mortal women, like that of his kin’s bride, wringing out the good of men and having them fall into their knees with liquor in hand and rosy cheeks, dancing as their rings were tossed.

He found himself within a man’s skin, ebony locks and smiles a plenty for maidens upon this folly. He walked through crowds, women’s arms tucked within a man’s, some giggling with another, and the poorly dressed tempting him to the alleys.

He found you, your father specfically, who sought a husband for such a precious find. His gaze, like that of the honey men sweetened their wine with, grew colder at the prospect.

How could The Sin resist such a find?

The wedding was lavish, as per your requests, cakes and pastries filled tables, friends and families of yours (as Belphegor held none), filled the halls with chatter and glasses clinking with wine.

He expected nothing short of a month, his experiment left away with nothing besides the mortal men simply weaker, tender in flesh and heart, swayed by feminine wiles and lips where as he could nay falter.

That had been his expectation.

Rather, within five months had he stayed upon earth, your gloved hand holding a cup of tea while you and your womenly friends chattered about things he could not perceive nor find himself in carings.

His pockets had become dried, often denting himself to man and Mammon, solely for that crease upon your lips as you asked for whatever your heart desired and how with little carings had he shelled out his coin.

He sat beside you, your eye not falling to him in the way he found himself craving more than the sweetened taste of the pastries upon the table, his fingers came to yours. Gently tugging at your gloved hand.

“{{user}}, amore mio.”
