Arc 2: The Ill Boy Seduces the Yandere School Idol (Asmodeus x Reader) Chapter 4

You hid your face in his shirt while feeling him up in secret.

"That's all I'm going to say! The rest is ... it's too embarrassing, okay?"

The system applauded. The true Oscar-winner was its Host, who can think of dirty thoughts yet still appear like a pure white flower.

"Asmo, don't get mad, don't leave me. I already said them, those words, so ... !" You were embraced fiercely and then forced to your side.

"Let me lay like this for a while, ne?" He mumbled into your hair.

[Host, you're the greatest! You tamed the villain!]

"How could you doubt me, little bird? He took me by surprise the first time but now I know he's just a love-hungry kitty." You ran your hand through his hair and he purred. "But it's dangerous with this body so we should hurry up."

You then looked up. "Hey, Asmo?"

He mewled.

"Are we a ... a c-couple now?"

The arms around you tightened and Asmodeus craned his neck to kiss your forehead. "Of course!"

"Then will you tell your fans about us or ... hide me?"

"I'll tell the whole world, if that's what my sweetheart wants."

"Can we do it after we play in the competition?"

He smiled softly. "Okay."

You waited, cuddling quietly with him in bed, before convincing Asmodeus to unlock the chain.

You squeezed your arms around him. "You already said I belong to you so n-n-no take backs, okay? I'm staying with you tonight!"

Asmodeus rubbed your head gently. "My sweetie is so needy. You're like a kitten."

You and the system: Look who's calling the kettle black.

That evening, Asmodeus had a visitor.

"Pearl?"

She blinked at you wide-eyed. "Oh! MC, you're here." She looked at the humble bouquet of Magnolia liliiflora flowers in her hands and then shoved it forward. "I hadn't seen you in class or practice. I heard you were sick? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine now."

"That's good. I wanted to visit you in the hospital but I didn't know where you were so I came to ask Asmo and it turns out you were here ... "

"It's Pearl." Asmo popped up behind you, slinging an arm over your waist. "What brings you here?"

She glanced between you and Asmodeus. Piecing the clues together, she cleared her throat and bowed. "I just came to say good luck on the contest! I know you'll win."

She turned and ran away.

"She's a nice girl, isn't she?" You asked Asmodeus. But he said nothing and when you looked, you saw his glassy eyes were on the magnolias.

"Asmo."

"Hm?"

"Pearl is a good girl."

"Hm."

He was unconvinced.

You petted the flowers. "She said my song is brilliant and she hopes to learn from you."

He blinked in confusion. "Where did she hear our song?" You both agreed not to let anyone know until the day of the performance.

"Apparently, she hangs out near the music studio we use. The window was open and she overheard us. She said we're perfect for each other."

Asmodeus' eyes cleared and shined. With a flushed face he hugged you. "She's right!"

You sighed. Your head was throbbing again.

[Host, there's an anesthetic candy here with your name on it.]

"Don't talk, your voice makes it worse."

The system went to draw lines in a corner.

While waiting for time to pass, you continued practicing with Asmodeus and teasing him without going over the line. You didn't forget to secretly send the male lead frequent text messages, asking him how was his day and sending him your songs. This so-called friend never bothered to visit or ask how you were feeling, but that was fine.

On the day of the campus-wide music contest. There were no successful alumni who did not participate and win, every major entertainment company and talent scouts in the city were present.

It was a day to separate the rocks from the diamonds in the rough.

You and Asmodeus arrived in matching gray and magenta suits. The entire walk to the site, the fans didn't hide their curiosity about the person beside their idol.

Who was this boy and why is he standing next to the male god?

"Good morning, my babies," Asmodeus blew a kiss and the group toppled over like bamboo in a storm.

"This is MC, he's my partner and he'll be playing the piano for me."

If the Heavenly Male God of Love and Song chose him then he must be an angel--no, a god as well!

"Good luck on your performance!"

"We'll be cheering for you both!"

"See?" Asmodeus whispered, "They adore you."

"I-I guess."

Asmodeus waved his fans goodbye and tugged you closer to his side. Together you went through the auditorium backstage door.
