He's absolutely smitten, he'll never let you go - Asmodeus
Inspired by: Absolutely Smitten -- Dodie
(A/N: This was from 2021, and was sitting in my drafts, it's old but completed soooooooo yea!)
Summary: You like someone, but you have no idea how they feel about you, so using your brilliant deduction skills, you attempt to figure it out. (Too bad you kept missing the signals till they're right in your face.)
Aka: That one time the human tried to find out if a demon liked them
Tag(s): Fluff, that one scene from Given popped into my head halfway through writing this and I ran with it, Asmo seeing a chance and just gunning for it

Asmodeus
It's not like you doubt Asmo doesn't like you, that'd be obvious.
You just don't think he's held you in any special regard compared to his fans.
I mean, look at him, he's always surrounded by lesser demons, and most of them have probably spent longer than you chasing him, maybe there's even someone out there that's his type you know?
How could a human even compete with that?
But there's no time start like the present right? You're not backing down from a fight, especially not this one.
Lucky for you, a talent show is coming up, and the prize just so happens to be 2 tickets for a 3-day paid trip to a hotel resort.
This was your chance, all you need is to win those tickets, and get Asmo to go with you.
Mission: Capture Asmo's heart, begin!
With a determined heart in place, you first need to capture your first objective: Asmo's cooperation
Sure, you could go and participate in this competition yourself, surprising Asmo with the tickets, but this is a competition where one can show themselves off, now wouldn't that be something right up the Avatar of Lust's alley?
You're about to invite Asmodeus to participate, and, as it turns out, he's already signed up for it, and he wants you to help him out!
How could you say no?
As you two prepare for the competition, he plans out many different ways to perform, from singing to dancing, to even thinking about having a one man beauty pageant (again).
At that point you should remind him that the time limit per participant isn't enough for a runaway show, so he opts for singing instead.
You decide to help him with the music production and practice on the guitar, although he insisted on keeping the lyrics a secret from you.
You don't notice the subtle glances he gives you, and the way the mood of his performance lit up whenever you were around, regardless of the presence of anyone else.
To be honest, you were so wrapped up in the competition you didn't pay much attention to how he stares at you while you concentrate, the way he gravitates instantly to you, away from whatever he was doing before, whenever you step into the room.
During a certain afternoon, as you both were taking a break, Asmo glanced at you and smiled.
"Hey MC, when it's my time to perform, just keep your eyes only on me, okay?"
At was the start of his performance, the hall was swammed with lesser demons cheering for him, but his eyes were scanning the crowds for your face.
He didn't mind being the centre of attention at all, but the longing in his heart desired only your attention.
When his eyes finally met yours, he felt his heart soar, and as the strings of the guitar were strung, he finally started his serenade...
It was only after the entire performance, as you were swallowed by a waving, roaring (and crying) crowd, you realised something.
Thoughtout the entire performance, Asmo's gaze had never left yours.
You head backstage to congratulate him, and you see him seating down, panting and holding a bottle of water, the high from performing still settling in.
As you approach him, a congratulations ready, he launches himself towards you-!
"MC! How'd you like it? I wrote it with you in mind!"
Asmo is nuzzling his cheek in the crook of your neck, looking up at you again, you can see a hint of fatigue in his eyes, beads of pespiration still glistening from his forehead. His smile wide and wide eyes reflecting the white ceiling lights.
You didn't see the incoming peck until it hit you quite literally in the face. On your cheek. With his lips.
"Hmm~ Sorry, you just looked so cute, I just couldn't resist~"
Well, the way this is going, seems like the tickets are just a bonus now.
You aren't going to let him get away with that, right?
