Prologue: 

I sought the colours in your heart and found them in colourful explosions of moments where we spend time together.

Part 1: Fire only burns when you touch it.

“Diavolo, did you hear? There’s a fireworks show!”

“Yes. Are you going to see it?”

I arranged it for you.

“I think so! I love fireworks. I still can’t stop thinking about the recent parties’ ones.”

I know. You told me that you loved the colours in the sky, like it was the paint to a canvas. You told me you loved the shine compared to the dark and that you wished you were at home with your family to see it with them.

“Are you planning on going with anyone?”

“…I was kind of hoping it would be with you?”

Perfect. There’s no need for me to cancel my grand plans now.

“Of course. I would love to go with you, Y/N.”

“Thank you!”

“My pleasure.”

Even if you don’t like the surprise I have planned…I'm still glad I will get to see you smile, even if it’s only for the first half of the night.

Part 2: Memories come with feelings, as colours.

The dark sky of the Devildom is vast. Empty. Devoid of emotion, much reflecting the souls of those who find themselves born here of sin. 

And I rule it all. I own not only the sky, the ground, the buildings but the people. 

One thing I do not own, however, is your heart. 

And it is the one thing I want the most.

It makes me feel like the empty sky has much more meaning for my possession of it; since the day you’ve arrived you’ve brought colour into my life, whether you intended to, or not. 

Like fireworks.

You love fireworks.

Part 3: The sky alights with fireworks, much like your face with joy.

I love seeing your smile.

Do you remember that night?

The night I visited the House of Lamentation to see Lucifer.

The night I heard you crying yourself to sleep, wishing for home.

The night my heart broke for you, and the night my heart started to beat faster for you. And it still does.

I heard your muffled sobs while making my way to Lucifer’s office. It was quiet, but audible. 

When I opened the door, through the slither of light I could see you curled over. 

I wanted to see your face. 

I wanted you to feel better.

I approached slowly, carefully. 

To make you aware of my presence I sighed.

“Y/N?”

No response.

“What’s the matter?”

“Home.”

Who knew one word would be enough? 

The guilt hits me immediately. I took them from their home, their family. I took everything from them, so I could complete myself. Or my duties. But what’s the difference anymore?

“I’m sorry. I’m…so sorry.”

‘A demon king should never apologise!’ my fathers voice rings in my ears. 

“Diavolo…”

“Hm?”

“Can I go home?”

“…I’m sorry.”

They look up and our eyes meet. Theirs, bloodshot and wet from tears. 

“Will I ever get to go home?”

“Yes.”

I found myself sitting on the bed next to them. Unsure of where to put my hands, I placed them gently on their back, running circles.

“I…had to do this… Your family is fine. Your ‘home’ is just fine. It’s only a year you have to stay here.”

“Still.”

“Only a year.”

They start to sob again - I don’t know how to help them, I’ve never comforted or been comforted before. 

“Hey. It’s okay. You’re safe. I’ve made sure of that. Your family…they’ll be fine. You’re okay.”

“…Why are you helping me? Aren’t you a demon?”

“Demons can be nice too.”

“But why? Is it because I’m your student?”

“I can’t deny that I care about your well-being because you are a student at my academy…however…I think you’re truly special. The qualities I've seen within you over the course of this first week have been tremendously unique. In a good way, that is.”

“Really?”

“You’ve been strong. It’s been a week and you’re only just crying now.”

“How do you know I haven’t been crying on other nights?”

“Well…at least you haven’t started any arguments. Very honourable, seeing as you’re living with many infamously argumentative demons.”

They laugh, and what comes with it is a smile that brings colour.

A smile that I find myself wanting to see all the time since that day.

The evening ended with me tucking them in, after they had fallen asleep on my shoulder.

Part 5: Ever-growing feelings like the flame to a fuse.

I think I’m starting to love you.

Love your voice, your kindness, your smile.

Inviting you to the castle everyday; for tea, for discussion of your lessons, for anything so I can see you. 

Everything about you is just so enthralling. 

I don’t know when or why these feelings started, but they did. And now I intend to do something about it. 

I’m going to tell you. Not in words, but an expression of how I feel. 

A metaphor through  something you love.

Fireworks.

Part 6: Fireworks.

The plan. 

First half of the show, normal fireworks. So I can see their smile. 

The second half…. 

In the fireworks, spelt out will be their name.

And it is at that moment that I'll tell them.

——————————————————————-

As the special firework goes off, time slows.

Colours from the sky blur into the background, and all I see now is their smile gradually fading into confusion as they turn to me.

Our eyes meet once more and I speak through tense breaths.

“Y/N.”

“Wait. Were you the one who arranged this?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

Why?

“Because. I’ve fallen for you.”

At that moment, a loud eruption of more fireworks occurs. I didn’t think of this outcome.

“Sorry?”

They didn’t hear me.

“I said…”

I’m interrupted yet again.

I’m growing impatient.

Part 7: Colours.

I lead them further from the fireworks, however it's still in view.

The garden. 

“I said…I’ve fallen for you.”

“…Finally.”

As the last set of fireworks explode, they wrap their arms around me, pulling me into a warm embrace. Hey, do you remember that night? I still remember your smile.

End author's note: While writing this I had the following Diavolo card in mind...:

Thank you for reading! Have a nice day/night :)

I just attempted the Art Ending on TSP.

I was multitasking - I was on a call, reading a book and doing another game log in. I was an hour in...and I messed it up.

Wriothesley be like "there's mistletoe up there, so it is legal for me to do this"

okay we need to have an intervention.

i've noticed that people don't leave the same kind of unhinged compliments under fanfics that visual artists usually receive (eg, "i want to eat your art"), so i've come up with a list that you need to start employing when your friends send you their WIPs and when your favorites update on ao3 but you're having a hard time commenting something that sounds intelligent and you still want to support them

"you're like if [famos author] (eg, Victor Hugo if the fic is angst) was into [fandom]"

"well THIS has been added to my pre-sleep daydream schedule"

"this fic invaded my mind and consumed my brain like a spore"

"I'M LOSING SLEEP OVER THIS ONE, FOLKS"

"yOu'Ve AlReAdY lEfT kUdOs HeRe"

"this fic has me scratching at my yellow wallpaper, it's so good"

"this fic has me checking under my floorboards for the heart of a kind man i murdered, it's so good"

"i'm making my parents read this"

"i know only one chapter is out so far, but i'm going to print this out, staple it together, and put it on my bookshelf next to the canon material"

"this fic gave me another mental illness"

(you can only do this one once) "i made an ao3 account specifically to bookmark this"

"i'm going to print this out so i can eat the words on the paper"

and a couple that are just nice (without the feral nature):

"i made a custom playlist to listen to while i read this fic"

"this fic reminds me of [song]"

"i really liked the part where [x], it really stuck with me"

"i really liked this line, [quote the line,] it was so well-written!"

artists: draw fanart of the fic!! it doesn't matter if you think your art skills are good and it doesnt matter if it's just a sketch!! let the author see it!!

make a moodboard!! for the fic!! let the author see it!!

SLEEPOVER TIME!!! I need more friendly interactions!
