2 & 5 day - Selfish & Alternative ending.
And another one! This one is kinda angsty but with good ending, I promise!
Enjoy! 💜 @maouemiweek2021
Emilia was selfish. She knew she was. How could she do that to Chiho? That girl was sweet and good and the most important - honest with her feeling for Maou from the very begging.
But here she was. Confessing to Maou. Because she couldn't take it anymore. These emotions overwhelmed her. Even though she told Chiho that she would never feel anything for Satan... She broke her word. And now she's standing in front of him, words stuck trying to say what's on her mind, but it's fucking hard! Maou looks at her with surprise and incomprehension. After all, it's not like her. He probably thinks she's crazy. Emi just wants to scream at him or at herself. Or maybe at her fate. She doesn’t know.
Emilia took a deep breath and finally said, "I just... I love you." but she quickly added, "Of course not from the beginning! But... but yes, I love you and... I know what it looks like, but... it's true.” She closed her eyes for a little longer and opened them again saying “That's it. That's all I wanted to say." She smiled at him as if nothing happened. Because she didn’t want him to feel bad about rejecting her. And because she didn’t want him to see her crying over something like that. Not now.
What she said was true. She didn't expect anything from him. She didn't think Maou would have feelings for her. After all, he had such a good person as Chiho next to him, who loved him sincerely and accepted him from the beginning. Why would he love Emi? The person who tried to kill him so many times. His ex-enemy.
Emila lowered her head as she felt tears welling up in her eyes.
"Then I'll go," she said aloud, although her voice cracked a little. She doesn’t smile anymore.
She hopes he didn’t notice.
Half-angel turned away from him and was about to walk away when she felt his hand on her wrist. Emilia stopped and looked at their hands. She could still feel tears in her eyes, so she refused to meet his eyes yet.
"Emilia. Wait." He said in a serious tone. A tone he rarely used. Not for her. She felt in this tone the emotions that he usually directed towards Chiho or other important people but-
"I have to go, Maou I-" She stopped. She stopped because he hugged her. He pulled her against him until Emilia hit his chest with force. Maou put his arms around her in a firm embrace.
Emilia didn't know what to do. This wasn’t her plan. She wanted to tell him this and then walk away. Only that. But this... Is this his form of taking pity on her?
Suddenly, the girl felt anger boiling inside her. She didn’t want to be a person for whom Satan himself pities. She was about to break free and say something to him when she heard his voice close to her ear.
"I love you too. I think I loved you for a long time, but I realized this only after you went missing. You've been away for so long and I have no idea what happened to you. Damn it, Emi. I couldn't function normally without you. Even passing my driver's license was difficult because my mind was wandering around you. "
I-is this really happening, Emilia thought, feeling tears appear in her eyes again.
Could she really be that selfish? Could she afford to be happy with this man? With this demon. With her enemy. With the person, she got to know better, understood, and fell in love with. Is it possible?
"So you have to come back to Earth with me, Emi. I have to finally pass this driver's license." Maou finished saying, and Emilia gave him a weak laugh. Finally, she hugged him as well, her fingers gripping the shreds of his shirt.
"Yes. Yes, I will come back to Earth with you. And I will teach you how to drive properly." She added, and a smile appeared on her face.
Maybe you have to be a bit selfish at times, she thought as she rested her head on Maou’s chest.
