A Douma x Reader headcannon!
I believe with Douma’s lack of emotion and empathy towards anything makes him a bad partner to have.
BUUUUUUUT let’s be honest we’re not following the canon.
So imagine you’re this talented musician in the taisho era. You hear tale of the Eternal paradise cult and you go have a look for yourself!
You provide music for Douma when he is bored or just exhausted of the silence that dreads the halls of his home. You know he is a demon and he only sees you as a pet but it’s nice to see someone genuinely enjoy your music.
He is clingy and very needy of your attention to provide some version of emotion for cold dead heart.
He makes beautiful ice sculptures for you to act as an audience when you play your biwa.
He actually based one of his attacks on you-
“A reward for your hard work!” He says with that practiced smile of his, you can’t help but feel honored though.
You are constantly spoiled by the underlines of cult, seen as treasure of the leader. You don’t have the heart to correct them since Douma seems to enjoy the useless attempts of praise they love to sing.
Enventually when you high met your end he wasn’t ready to let go, in denial of failing his one purpose and losing his favorite pet!
“I don’t think that light is for me, my pet. Demons don’t get the same fate as you silly humans do.”
As you slowly walked towards the light you felt him hug you close, something wet dampening your hair.
“I don’t understand what’s happening to me right now but, I know I don’t want to be alone! My pet, if the gods can ever show me any chance of mercy, I hope to be reborn again with you so then we can finally live a normal life!”
The emotionless sadist if a demon was crying, tears fell from his beautiful rainbow eyes and a small crumbling smile was etched on his face as he held you close.
“I promise, I’ll listen close for your music, your laughter! You just have to promise to find me too. I know I can’t do anything in life for you, so I promise with this sliver of emotion I can give, I want to spend a life by your side!”
And that was the end of your short life and Douma’s torment. The next life you had was one filled with joy and struggle.
You walked through the halls of your school carrying a few heavy boxes. One of the teachers asked you to help and out of the kindness in your heart you agreed. The boxes were so heavy but you pushed on, not seeing the tall man in-front of you.
“Oh pardon me, are you alright?” The old familiar voice called to you.
“Y-yeah I’m fine, sorry for bumping into you..” you looked up to see a beautiful man with rainbow eyes and soft colored hair, the light from the sun made it look like he was glowing!
“It’s quite alright! Here let me help you.” He reached out a tan for you to grab and you happily took it, wiping the dust from your clothes.
“I’m Douma by the way, you are?”
Holy fuck this guy is tall. “I’m ___, sorry again for bumping into you.”
“It’s quite alright! Though if you are really sorry then you could make it up to me in a way~” he grinned and before you could responded he continued. “You see there’s this new restaurant down the street and I’ve been wanting to go but sadly none of my friends wanna go with me, it’s very cruel of them! You can go with me though!”
“GREAT! I’ll pick you up after school! Don’t keep me waiting for long little shrimpy!!!!” He waved at you as he walked away, that was weird but it also felt comforting and familiar. Where have you seen him before?
I honestly based one of my ocs off of his Ice lotus attacks and made them date cause I can.
I love Douma so all my Douma fans should be able to read my thoughts on him! ❤️
