Summary: in which Caliban wants to go out with the y/n but she doesnât... Or thatâs what she thinks
Warnings: nothing just Caliban being Caliban lol
Being a mortal in Greendale was one of the rarest things ever. You lived amongst witches, warlorcks, pagans, demons and much more. It wasnât such a news anymore, you got used to it some time after your friend, Sabrina, told you she was a witch. At first it was hard to understand her world full of potions and spells but then you actually started to like it. In addition to this Roz, Theo and Harvey were new to this world too so you didnât feel alone, you all tried your best at not making her feel left out even when she disappeared for days, since she had to attend two different schools. However lately she had to sacrifice herself in order to rescue her boyfriend, Nick, who was trapped in Hell with the Dark Lord inside of him. You family wasnât really religious but you did believe there was a God and Lucifer, nevertheless you didnât think you actually would have gotten the chance to âmeetâ him. You had seen how sad and hurt Sabrina looked for the past weeks, knowing her boyfriend was suffering in Hell with that monster inside of him and she tried anything till she could finally let him escape. You mortals being her best friends couldnât leave her when she needed you the most so you decided to go with her to Hell. Though you didnât want the Aunties finding out about your plan so you stayed behind and covered for them. You told them Roz and Brina were practicing for cheerleading and Theo and Harvey had a project for school, you spent the day at Brinaâs just to be sure you knew wherever the aunties would have gone. The night arrived with your friends, they all looked exhausted but happy, they finally set Nick free, partially, since the Dark Lord was still in him. However Sabrina would have found a way to get him out. As the other three headed to their houses, you spent the night at hers, wanting to know every detail. Hell sounded like what you expected but somehow you wanted to see it with your own eyes, so you asked to her to go with her the next time she had to go back. Sabrina wasnât really about that, you were a mortal, demon would have smelt you didnât belong there and would have taken advantage of that but you promised you would have been careful.
Three days later Lilith called Brina for an assembly, so she teleported you both down there. It was hot and you felt extremely bad for those who laid there dead and in agony, you wondered what they could have ever done to deserve such a treatment. The path was harsh but you didnât complain, you just looked around seeing all those souls in pain, tortured by any kind of animal or suffering. Luckily you quickly got to Pandemonium and the court was better than the rest you had seen. Lilith was standing in front of Brinaâs throne, waiting for her.
âWhat is she doing here? Are you trying to get her killed?â She exclaimed looking at the both of you, Sabrina explained her everything while you looked around amazed. You had studied Danteâs Inferno hut you never imagined it to be like that. Lilith was still not happy about your arrival, but there was nothing she could do to change it. As soon as they two sat down and you stood next to Sabrina, the doors opened the so famous Kings of Hell entered the room. They looked awful, scary and infernal. You clenched your jaw, trying to keep it all together, Sabrina would have never let anything happen to you.
âI smell human flesh... Who is she?â One of them spoke, you gulped and tortured your hands. The gazes of them all were on you, trying to understand why you were there and looked like they wanted to burn you alive and eat you. A few chills rolled down your spine, they looked scary with their messed up faces, their black teeth, eyes full of hatred.
âStep back. Sheâs here with me, now letâs talk about business.â Sabrina spoke loudly and firmly, you smiled at her and looked at the Kings of Hell taking a seat. Lilith spoke, sitting on your right.
âEven though you refuse to recognise Sabrina, daughter of Lucifer, as a legitimate heir to the throne, which is hers by blood, you must accept her and prostrate yourselves before her.â Sabrina had told you she wanted to be Queen of Hell, when they got rid of the Dark Lord she quickly declared herself as queen, but obviously the Kings didnât agree. There was chaos in the room, the Kings yelling and laughing, making your head pulse, they didnât want to accept the reality: Sabrina was Queen of Hell since she was Luciferâs daughter and there was no other successor to the throne.
âI must differ... As you asked me to, I gathered 666 signs, which give me the power to challenge the Queen of Hell for the crown.â A blonde, tall, good looking boy came forward. He didnât look like someone who belonged to Hell, however surprises never ended. You stared at him: he was truly beautiful, curly blonde hair fell on his cheeks, a smirk painted his lips, eyes lightened by some kind of desire, white teeth showing, a sleeveless jacket. You wondered why he was there and why he wanted the throne so bad. By the facial expression you could tell Sabrina was pissed, she knew him. While you were so intensely staring at him, he realised you were there and stared at you back. Your cheeks burnt like someone set them on fire, his gaze scrolled you up and down, it felt like he already knew all of your darkest secrets and desires.
âYou brought some company, princess? Or is she a gift for your next king?â He was joking but it pissed Sabrina off even more, she stood up and slammed her fists on the table, you had probably never seen her so angry with somebody. Meanwhile the Kings assisted at the scene enjoying it, enjoying the drama, the anger.
âDonât you dare touch her or even look at her, asshole.â Sabrina yelled from the other part of the table, there only a few feet separating you from him. He smirked and walked towards the two of you, you wanted to run away, but you stood still, your eyes still fixed on him. As he was a few inches away he bowed before you, which made you reddening even more.
âExcuse my bad manners. Iâm Caliban, Prince of Hell... And you are...?â He didnât even listen to what Sabrina had previously said. Your mouth opened as if you were going to say something, but no sound came out of it, he stared at you smirking. What the hell was going on with you? Sabrina took control over the situation and stepped between the two of you.
âI said: back off, Caliban!â Her tone was authoritarian. Caliban stepped back but kept on smirking at you. As he walked a few feet away you turned back to breathing. Hell had just gotten hotter. You looked away as soon as Brina began talking about the crown and that challenge. They had to find these three Unholy Regalia, they were hidden and quite difficult to find. However there wasnât much left to do, Brina accepted the challenge.
âI hope to see you again.â Caliban said kissing your hand but before you could even reply Brina teleported you out of hell. As you went back to earth you knew Sabrina would have given you the âtalkâ, since she hated Caliban more than anybody else. Nevertheless there was something about him, you didnât quite understand.
âY/n, please stay away from him. Heâs bad and evil. I know he looks hot and all but trust me: heâs trouble.â She explained to you, you simply nodded as you kept thinking about him. She was right, he was the Prince of Hell fighting for becoming King of Hell, which only meant he was up to no good.
Days went by and you kept on with your mortal life, going to Hell when Sabrina asked you for company, you couldnât deny it was a scary place. Those times, when you met Caliban you acted cold, as if his words and his being didnât touch you. Sabrina was your best friend, she had warned you about him and you would have been a stupid not to follow her advices. Nevertheless he was a tough guy, he didnât give up on you, you wondered what he had seen in you to never stop hitting on you. You couldnât lie: he was really attractive, not only because of his look but only because of how he acted around you. One day you were at the court, sitting on the table while assisting at Caliban and Brina fighting. It was kind of funny, he tried his best to piss her off and she really hated his guts, when out of nowhere he said.
âIâll give up on making earth the tenth circle, but sheâs mine.â He winked at you and you blushed hard. What? What did he mean? Being his? Brina looked over at you and then back to Caliban, you could swear smoke almost came out of her nostrils. You stood up and walked towards them before someone got hurt.
âNever. I will never sell her soul to you, asshole.â She screamed and he laughed, looking at you and biting his lip. You put a hand on Brinaâs shoulder to calm her down, you wouldnât have accepted to go to Hell with him. For the love of Satana, you didnât even know him! He was just handsome and charming, what else?
âItâs up to her to decide, isnât it? What do you think, beautiful? Wanna come with me?â He asked you directly, he didnât really think you would have said yes but he liked to tease you and Sabrina, who became redder than a tomato. You smiled sweetly and replied.
âOf course... not, baby boy.â Your smile grew as he winked at you and giggled, did you really just reject him? Wow it was bold. Brina finally relaxed, she had just gotten the confirmation that you werenât falking for clay boy, little did she know...
âWhat if we go out? I understand your concern, we donât really know each other.â He insisted, you didnât mind deep down but you would have never accepted his offer. Hell would have been prettier with him but not better. As Brina tried to reply to his comment you spoke again.
âNot even in a million year. I donât go on dates in hell.â You said and you could see a sparkle in his eyes, which you didnât quite understand but you pretended it never happened. Sabrina liked your answer a lot and let you take your own defense. Caliban, on the other hand, crossed his arms and looked you up and down, then giggled and smirked. Wasnât he capable of doing anything else outside that?
âWeâll see about that, sweetheart.â He sent you a kiss and Brina teleported again back to earth. You didnât sleep that night, to caught up in your own thoughts. You were afraid of what you wanted, you werenât sure you were actually telling the truth before.
Obviously Caliban didnât stop at your first rejection, maybe it was all about his pride. He kept on asking you out on dates even though he was from Hell, he did know what a date was, which was impressive. His ways to ask you out were infinite and always managed to leave you speechless. His smirk was om his lips all the time and he was never mad or at least he didnât show it. To get hell out of your mind for a bit you decided to join the cheerleaders with Roz and Sabrina, you liked dancing and singing. The night of the play you performed for the first time and felt you did your best. As you ran towards the changing room you stumbled on someoneâs chest.
âIâm so sorry I didn- Caliban? What are you doing here?â You asked the guy standing in front of you wearing a simple yellow tshirts and blue jeans, it was the first time you saw him wearing human clothes, it was weird but he looked good in them. He grinned and stared at you, you were wearing your cheerleader uniform.
âWell I thought I should have seen my girlfriendâs first performance, right?â He replied biting his lip, your cheeks reddened at the choice of the word âgirlfriendâ, but then quickly remembered Brinaâs words. He was no good, he came from Hell, he was evil and bad.
âFor starting Iâm not your girlfriend, then what if Brina sees you here? Or if someone else does?â Your eyes widened as he stepped closer and put his hands on your arms, which were crossed, and uncrossed them. You felt extremely vulnerable under his touch. His hand moved your hair from your face. You felt like the entire world had stopped for you two, there were only his touch and eyes, a weird feeling coming from the center of your chest. Those damned lips were sono inviting and you couldnât think straight when he was that close to you. What was going on with you? Where did the tough y/n go? Did he make you so vulnerable?
âY/n! Didnât know you had boyfriend.â One of the girls from your cheerleader team talked, interrupting that moment. You came out of your trance and looked at her, she was standing next to you two waiting for you to say something. As soon as you realised what she had said you widened your eyes and you were taken by surprise. You started to babble since you didnât know what to say.
âWell... I... I mean weâre not... Heâs not my boyfriend.â You explained finally, she gave you an apologetic smile and reached out her hand towards Caliban, who was having quite a good fun looking at you getting so embarrassed. His attention was now on the girl who, after hearing that you werenât dating, was suddenly interested in him. Well at least she asked if he was taken. You waited to see Calibanâs reaction, which would have determined your opinion about him.
âIâm Cassie, and you are...?â She smiled sweetly and blinked. You felt this feeling inside of your chest, it was pesky and heavy, you wanted it to go away with her, who was pissing you off for no reason, indeed you thought she was a nice girl, but in that precise moment you wanted her to disappear. Finally Caluban reacted and shook her hand, while smirking. You heart jolted a bit, well you knew he was a playboy.
âHer next boyfriend.â He replied with his smirk on. Your eyes widened and your cheeks became redder than ever, you wished you were the one disappearing. You couldnât believe he had just said that, Cassie giggled embarrassed and walked away. You hoped she wouldnât have said anything to the team, nor to Sabrina. Your attention back on Caliban who looked like someone who had done nothing wrong. You grabbed his arm and dragged him in a more private place, you didnât want anybody else to see you two together, especially your best friends.
âLittle y/n wants to go to private places, huh? Well I donât mind at all.â He joked while you wanted to slap him hard. What the hell was he thinking? A part of you though was happy about what he had just told the girl, maybe he really liked you. He refused a cheerleader for you and Cassie was a really pretty girl, the fact was that you hadnât realised how beautiful you were in general and especially to his eyes. The first time he had ever laid his eyes on you, he felt this fire inside lightening and burning, it was something he had never felt before, that was when he knew he needed and wanted you, even if it meant getting rejected hundreds of times.
âAre you out of your mind?! What were you thinking?! What if Brina finds out we were together? Oh gosh, I really donât want to fight with her for some stuoid clay boy.â You said hands in your hair. Even if he played it cool most of the time he was hurt by your words, but it wasnât acceptable for a prince of hell to be hurt by some mortal. He leaned against the wall and watched you freaking out, someway and somehow you managed to be beautiful even when you were mad.
âI donât care about what Sabrina thinks or doesnât think... I came here because Iâm taking you on a date since you said you donât date in hell, here I am, on earth. Where do you wanna go?â He asked you dead serious. You looked at him straight in the eye wondering if he was being serious, but he genuinely was. He had been trying to go out with you for weeks now, his attempts to get to know you had been infinite. Maybe if you accepted for once he would have stopped asking you to go on dates with him and realised you werenât meant to be. Before giving him your usual answer, you thought about the pros and cons.
âFine. But nothing romantic, I wanna go to Popâs, all these movements made me hungry.â You replied, arms crossed and a smile hidden. Caliban was extremely surprised and didnât even care you were taking to a some sort of fast food. He nodded rapidly and bit his bottom lip, you had never seen him so happy about something. He always looked so tough and cool, you didnât think the Prince of hell could feel anything else.
âShall we, love?â He offered his arm which you grabbed unsure, before you knew it a vortex of flames surrounded you both and you were already at Popâs. You looked around and at him, who was already grinning. Luckily enough nobody had seen you two appearing from nowhere.
âI donât even wanna ask. Letâs just eat already.â You said heading towards the entrance. Popâs wasnât full but at the same time there were few tables empty. You sat and put on your annoyed and bored face ven though you were really curious to know what kind of person he was in reality. Caliban took the menu and scrolled through it, while you juststared at him lost. You didnât realise you were being a creep til the waitress arrived.
âWell Iâll have the Bacon Burger with fries.â He told her and then looked at you, waiting for your order, which you didnât choose yet since you were too focuse on him. You reddened and buried your face in the menu, trying to cover the fact you had been caught. You proceeded to order your usual and the waitress walked away with your menus. Now there was nothing dividing the two of you.
âTell me, y/n, how come you hate me so much? Is it because I want to rule Hell or because your witch friend told you to?â He said bluntly without thinking that someone could have heard you. You blushed and played with your fingers. Since he asked you didnât hate him, you just pretended to because it was easier. He stared deeply at you waiting for an answer, he truly wanted to know why.
âI donât hate you, Caliban... Youâre just an asshole and I donât like assholes.â You told him playing with a napkin feeling way too embarrassed to do anything else than that. He grinned and nodded, as if he didnât believe at what you had just said.
âYou know for being someone who doesnât want to go to Hell, you tell many lies, darling.â He said his elbows on the table as he brushed a hand through his blonde hair. You really loved it, it looked soft and fragrant. You felt too exposed at his gaze, he wasnât wrong: you were lying, to him and to yourself. The problem was that you couldnât stop doing that.
âWell then since you know everything why donât you tell why I canât stand you?â You tried to moved the subject towards him, but you didnât know how good of a talker he was. Indeed he leaned against the seat and grinned again. He had that cocky smile of his you wanted to rip it off his face so bad.
âI think you canât stand the fact youâre irredeemably attracted to me and that goes against everything everyone wants you to do. You like me but you donât want Sabrina to know because she wonât approve. Now I wonder why such a beauty like you cares about other people.â He replied and left you speechless, he analysed so perfectly you felt more vulnerable than ever. The burgers arrived but you were too focused on the subject to care about your hunger which seemed to be disappeared.
âI donât care about other people, I care about my friends and family.â You were stubborn just like him but at least he was honest with himself, he hadnât been afraid to admit his feelings for you to himself. You pretended you didnât feel your heartbeat go faster every time he was around you or looking at you.
âAt least you stopped saying you didnât like me, sweetheart.â He had a point. Your eyes fell on the fries, what was happening to you? You had never been so confused about feelings for someone. In your head there was a mess, confusion. You changed the subject and he let you do it, he had had his answers alredy and didnât need to embarrass you any longer. The rest of the night wasnât as you thought it would have turned out to be: you talked the whole about everything, got to know each and you forgot for a few who he was. It felt almost normal. On your way back you asked him to have a walk and he agreed, you kept the conversation alive till you arrived at your house.
âSo am I as awful as you thought? Or will you consider my offer?â He asked you as you opened your front door, you stopped and looked at him. You were more confused than ever, he had proven to be a decent being but you still couldnât trust him fully.
âMaybe...â you said kissing his cheek and entering your house as you tried to hide the big grin on your face and the red cheeks. You closed the door and fell to the ground smiling. Caliban on the other side touched the skin that had been touched by your lips and felt his heart flip in the chest. He had never felt those kind of feelings, probably because he had always been in Hell. He smiled and looked at the door for a few seconds processing the whole thing. None of you slept that night...
