Chapter Text
"So this ball you're talking about is a gathering for Demon Royalties and you have to go?"
Blitzø was on the phone with Stolas as he could basically here the prince preparing for the party, basically hearing him rummaging through his walk-in closet for a perfect top. "Indeed, this is a very special occasion as the True Sins are the ones who organized this event."
"What do you mean by 'True Sins' are they like the Real Royal Sins than the likes of Asmodeus, Beelzebub, and the others?"
"You could say that," Stolas answered as he looked into the mirror and added some eyeliner around his eyes. "From what I have learned, the Deadly Sins are the manifestations of the Kings' sins, basically their living persona or embodiment of said sin. The kings are their masters and they both co-exist as the rulers of each ring."
"And you wanted me to come, because...?"
He was shock by this, he was surprised that when he arrived at his house, Loona handed him a box that contained his outfit that came from Stolas before she leaves to hang with Vortex. A black tunic with red decorations and silver studs as the buttons along with shiny spikes that runs on the shoulder, black pants, and a pair of black boots with red rims.
"Stella would be there..."
Blitzø immediately groaned, even after the divorce, that bitch still torments her ex husband as if it's her hobby. Blitzø could understand why Stolas would want him to come along with him. Not only for company, but also as protection against his ex wife.
"Plus, it's much more exciting when you're around, darling~" Stolas added with a flirty tone.
Blitzø smirked as he picked up the top, "Well, if it's fun that you want, then sure... I'll show them what a real performance look."
"Wonderful, darling!" Stolas smiled, "I'll be there to pick you up, bye, my lovely imp!"
And after a few minutes, Blitzø is already prepared, wearing the outfit Stolas gave, he adjusted his red skull choker and brushed his pants from the dust a bit. Looking at the mirror, he gave a wink and a flashy smile before turning around, and just in time too. Stolas arrived, he wore a dazzling indigo top with white trimmings as the buttons and white cuffs on his sleeves, he wore grayish white pants, and a glittering crimson cape.
"Ready to go, darling?"
"Always, so where is it located? Somewhere in Pride? Gluttony? Lust?"
The prince smiled and spoke, "The Human World."
"Wait what?!"
Stolas giggled, "Surprise~!" Taking in Blitzø's still stunned expression, he then kissed his cheek and started to explain the gist on why would the event be at the topside instead of Hell. "Well, the Seven Kings... They actually live at the topside..."
"Holy Shit! Really, I thought Demons aren't even allowed to leave Hell and live on Earth!"
"Well... That's all the information I know so far of them, they only visit Hell when needed to, but they're always on earth with their second job, traveling around the world."
"Are they like, performers?"
Stolas pinched Blitzø's cheek, "You're so smart, love."
"Well, great! I guess that means the party would be less boring..." Blitzø said as he teasingly swatted Stolas' hand away.
"Of course, but with Stella there, most likely I would die from her constant and irritating insults on me, however, I will have much more fun with you around to make me laugh and smile." He smirked to which Blitzø rolled his eyes playfully, thinking that this is an excuse for Stolas to spend more time with him. Then again, the two were kinda busy with their work, they had to cancel some plans they made, so this was a chance for them to spend time together.
"Though, if we're going topside, shouldn't we be in disguises?" Blitzø asked.
"Of course, and I do have another present for you other than your outfit, my dear imp~"
With a wave of a hand, Blitzø is engulfed in blue magic, surrounding his body as he felt his appearance change, afterwards he blinked and looked back at the mirror and is shocked at what he looked like. His human disguise has tan skin while his burn marks darker than his usual skin color, he has raven black hair with white streaks, and his eyes has white sclera and his eyes glimmering in cherry red.
"Why, hello, tall dark and handsome!" He said as he slick his hair back.
"Indeed, now you can use that whenever you please." Stolas chuckled as he kiss Blitzø at the cheek and turned into his own human form. He turned around and open a portal to the human realm. Arms lock together like a couple, they entered right in front of the venue of the party. They're right in front of what seems like an abandoned cathedral, when both entered it, there are a lot of royals in their human disguise, dress in fancy outfits and expensive jewelries and the glory of it. Both walked in and a few other royals stop to look at them, they can see that something is different about imp even though he is in disguise, and it made the imp a little bit uncomfortable. Made even more uncomfortable when he spotted Stella at a distance next to Andrealphus and a few other royals.
Stolas knew immediately and took Blitzø near the stairway to the upper level of the cathedral. They took a moment to admire how what the abandoned cathedral looked beautiful with the glow of the moon and the purple orbs of light scattered around the area to look like stars, the vines around each supporting pillars are hang around with multicolored flowers that brings some colors to the vines. The chandelier above them is lit brightly above them giving more light to the floor.
"You know, this place has a very haunting past..."
"Oh, do tell... This place is creepy as hell, less creepy with lights on." Blitzø commented.
"Charming, well... When I first learned about this place, this is the same place where a dark curse resides. Rumors has it that this cathedral is where the fall of a terrible dark performer that practices witchcraft and the ancient arts of otherworldly dark magic."
"Wait, I feel like I heard that story before. Did the performer happens to seduce both men and women and had them killed and buried in this cathedral's underground system?" Blitzø asked with an eyebrow raise.
"Correct. His name is Cecilion, a very dashing man, everyone falls in love with his looks and voice as they both sound enchanting and pleasant. Those who listen to the sound of his voice are immediately under his spell, no one can tear their gaze from him. It is said that he was once a poor young soul looked down upon for his voice and looks, having enough of being tormented for so long, he turned to dark magic and witchcraft to summon a powerful Overlord and made a deal with him, and he was granted powers beyond his wildest dreams, a voice of an angel and even a face of one. But said power came with a price, and it consumed him. He killed those he seduce and drain their youth and blood to ensure he remains alive. The Overlord who granted his powers saw his bidding and of course, commended him for his deed, yet Cecilion turned against the one who granted his powers and use it against him. In his last attempt to stop him, the Overlord use the last bit of his powers and sealed him away inside of that window art piece." He then pointed to the main stained glass window that towers above the cathedral's stairs. It revealed to be a dashing man with skin pale and hair black like the night, he carries a winged staff with a jewel red as blood. "Legend has it, his spirit is still sealed in this certain window, waiting for a new vessel to take over and seek to continue his murder spree on the blood moon."
"Holy, Shit... What a tale..." Blitzø spoke.
"Indeed. Though, what's more surprising is that Cecilion had an affair with the Overlord."
"No way...!"
"To witness a cruel forbidden romance only for it to crumble due to the power Cecilion was given, a tragedy really. It was sad, the Overlord truly loved him, they had such a special bond..."
"Man, imagine if that happens again... If we were in that situation, I'd fucking kill myself if I did that to you." Blitzø spoke as he folded his arms. "Like imagine this, you gave me this human disguise and then suddenly, I wouldn't change back because of how Hot I look, then when we try to talk things out, I'll end up doing some stupid shit on you and you'll not forgive me of it."
"Nonsense, we made a promise once we became officially lovers, that no matter what happens to us, we will always solve what problems we face and fix things back to the way it is." Stolas said reassuringly to which Blitzø snorted. "I know, cheesy as it sounds, but it is true anyways."
"Yeah, no denying in that." Blitzø smiled back.
Just then, the lights suddenly dim but the chandelier above, and seven people appeared in purple sparkling smoke on top of the stairs. They wore such high ends of clothing that matches modern day popstars and they fancy some colored hairs too, despite this, they have bejeweled circlets on their heads, and once they open their eyes, it is clear that they're demons.
"The Fuck? BTS?!" Blitzø said.
"Wait what...?" Stolas asked as he turned to Blitzø.
"They're a popular boy band from the human world... Oh shit, are they the-"
"Welcome, Royals from the underworld, welcome to the annual King Sins Ball!" Namjoon spoke.
Blitzø then tiptoed to whisper something to Stolas, "You royals can be lucky, at least you don't need to wait in a 3 kilometers long line to watch these bitches perform."
Stolas hummed in response, "But sometimes, I would prefer some minimalism and have it quiet sometimes where I can do basically whatever the hell I want."
Blitzø shrugged as he turned his attention back to the seven Kings. "To kick off the event, us kings have a special performance from yours truly to give you all a glimpse of who we are and what are powers are capable off!" Seokjin said.
The royals are intrigued by this as they leaned forward with anticipation, curious of what magic and power they possess as the only indication of their power level is that of being powerful than the Seven Deadly Sins. Soon a microphone of their signature color appeared on their hands as Yoongi snapped his fingers and music began to play.
"Ready? We have all nights, lovelies! You're lucky we sound proof this church otherwise we be sucking on pig dicks at the slammers!" Jimin said.
"And you assholes are lucky that we are kind enough to spare you the bullshit." Hoseok added.
The royals cheered. Meanwhile, Stolas and Blitzø remained near their little corners while they watch the kings perform one of their song, to which they sing about how bulletproof they are all while putting off a show by displaying their powers on some illusionary enemies by blasting them with their magical weapons or even using their magic, basically. "Not gonna lie, they look pretty badass for royals."
"Am I not badass, Blitzy?" Stolas teased to which Blitzø blushed heavily as he stutters something as Stolas giggled at this. "Hm, their music isn't my cup of tea, but, I fully understand the language and meaning of their song."
"You speak and understand Korean or something?" Blitzø asked.
Stolas nodded at him, "I learned a lot of language from the topside, when those humans perform their silly rituals to summon me, I would also learn the languages they speak."
"Does it get annoying when you get summoned?" Blitzø asked as he turned back to the performance where the song changes again, he remembered that this song was about intoxicating love or something. "Huh, fitting for this theme..." Blitzø muttered, he then turned to the prince.
"Ah, it's no Hussle, but it does whenever I am preening and taking a bath." The prince replied.
Blitzø began to snicker, imagining the prince being summoned by some kooky humans meanwhile he is in his robes while basically styling himself. Stolas rolled his eyes as he playfully flicks his head with his fingers. "Anyways, I wonder, how did the Overlord fell for Cecilion, and who was that Overlord?"
Stolas was silent at first, listening to the music as the boys dance around. "His name is Carmillo, the Music Overlord, a cruel deal maker, though, he isn't entirely bad, he has better standards than Valentino."
"Fucking good..."
"Carmillo saw some potential in Cecilion and offers to help him, in truth, Cecilion wasn't all bad before he was... a murderer. For you see, Cecilion was always trying to be a kind and fair man for most of his life despite what he has experienced, it was the power that Carmillo had that overwhelmed Cecilion's broken mind, remember, he was tormented for a long time, with powers from the demon can cause the mind to corrupt both soul and heart. Carmillo saw the changes and at first wasn't bothered by it as he is very sadistic, however he grew to miss the old Cecilion, he confronted him and his lover was gone, standing before him is nothing but an empty husk of his darling performer. Before Cecilion killed him, Carmillo had sealed him away in that window over there."
"So is that why it looks so life like?" Blitzø asked, now staring at the glass art on the top. It hangs majestically, giving either an eerie or empowering presence. The prince nodded at the imp, "Meanwhile, what's left of Carmillo is through a crimson flower that he owned. That flower is what he used to seal Cecilion into that glass, and it also an important key item."
"What, it's not like the flower will seal both their fate as together? Did the flower used to be an ordinary flower that Cecilion picked out until it got imbued with magic by Carmillo?"
"Nice guess." Stolas snorted at that, "But you're right, with the flower, Cecilion and Carmillo will forever be bind together, this will fully turn Cecilion into an Overlord."
"Damn, not gonna lie, that eternal love bullshit sounded real hot, in a terrifying way. I mean, they're forever bind together, but... If Till Death Do You Part happens, doesn't that mean they'll fall together?" Blitzø wondered. "I also wonder, is Cecilion an Overlord during his 'death' or is yet to be an Overlord."
"Well, yes... Apparently, as terrifying as it sounds, however, I don't think it will be bothered that much as he doesn't have the most important items." Stolas said. "Legend has it, that Cecilion kept a special blood brooch that was given by his beloved that contained his powers, and the flower had Carmillo's power in it, with both items in hand, no doubt they would be a force to be reckoned with."
While Blitzø hummed in response, he couldn't help but wonder. Something sinister resides in this cathedral and no doubt, not that he is terrified by it, the opposite even, he thinks that it's really cool and wicked for a twisted love story legend to be real now that he and Stolas are in the area where all the shit happens. He turned back to the the kings and realized that they're finally addressing the royals.
"Whoo! That was fun!" Jungkook exclaimed.
"Yep, do you agree, dearies?" Taehyung asked as he turned to the crowd to which they all applauded.
"Sometimes, royals can loosen up y'know, all that stuck-up bullshit we always have to play on, well, not today!" Yoongi said.
A handful royals didn't cheer at that, Stolas and Blitzø could see that they're the stuck-up snobby royals that only came because they want either attention or probably to cause drama. Not like the kings would care if they cause some petty squabble or shit.
"Hm, well, I can see some who don't appreciate us and only came here to witness and gravel on our powers and spread gossip to those who hasn't come to this party..." Namjoon said darkly, this caused nearly everyone to go cold as he scanned the crowd, eventually he landed his eyes on Blitzø and Stolas. "You!"
He pointed his fingers at the duo and immediately all eyes are on them. Namjoon stride over and eyes the two up and down, this made Blitzø nervous. "Hm, ah, quiet ones, at least I know you appreciate the effort we put into our performance, right?"
"Of course, it was a lovely show!" Stolas said quickly, "I never knew how talented you all are, your majesties. So what you did for me is a surprise."
Namjoon smirked as he turned around, "Ya see that! It's clear some of you snobs have no taste!"
"For shame!" Yoongi muttered.
"And you!" Namjoon turned to Blitzø to which he blurted out, "I love your music and I've been a fan of you since you debut as artists!"
There was a stunned silence for a moment, Stolas was shock by this, Blitzø listened to Kpop? That's new. "Blitzy..." He said quietly.
Seokjin let out a laugh, "Holy Shit! An ARMY! Finally, where have you been, Sugar Boo? And dear me, aren't you a sexy little devil!"
Blitzø was stunned by this, one of the kings is flirting with him, meanwhile, Stolas flashed a glare at Seokjin as the king playfully stuck his tongue. The prince wrapped an arm around Blitzø's arm tightly until Seokjin gave him a look of understanding that Blitzø is taken.
"What's your favorite part?" Taehyung asked.
"Um... Your song Blood Sweat and Tears?" He answered.
"Ah, wonderful!" Hoseok added.
The rest of the nights goes on, a few royals began to talk to both Stolas and Blitzø because of that, considering they were approached by Namjoon, they asked if they were nervous, yet, they said it whenever more people ask that they were not nervous and they kept it cool, mostly. While Stolas was approached by Jimin and Jungkook, Blitzø excuse himself for a bit to go explore the cathedral. He went to every room and notice how big this place is, almost like a mansion of sort, yet this place is very grand, but it's very old and dark now that he knew that Cecilion resides in this seemingly-haunting cathedral. How does he knows? Well, he had stumbled upon a room- a dusty yet elegant bedroom to be exact and it was similar to Stolas' bedroom, only more gothic and fitting the vampire theme. On the dresser were combs, makeup, and perfumes that Cecilion would use to prettify himself, covered in webs and layers of century old dusts. Love letters to and from Carmillo are hidden in a compartment on his study desk, and even a withering singular flower on a vase next to his queen size bed. Blitzø finds this dark and hot all the way, after all, when you have a partner and lover like Stolas, and teenage children like Octavia and Loona, the edgy and gothic theming tends to be brought up. They're demons after all, everything about them is just as dark and wild as it is. But Stolas has a much more elegant and sophisticated kind of dark, and honestly, it was so enticing.
While still in his dark twisted fantasies, he wouldn't mind to think of doing roleplay with Stolas, to be dark and wild, like that one time where Stolas was wearing a ball gown and Blitzø dressed like a vampire. Why not do that again, except Stolas would be dressing up like Carmillo and Blitzø would be Cecilion, he'd like to guess that the murderous performer is the Top and the Overlord being the Bottom. They can put their own twist to make this tragic love story with a happy ending- a very sexy tragedy romance story with a bittersweet ending. He could already picture it now. By the time he was about to leave, he walked up to the door and realized that it's locked. "The fuck?!" He cursed as he tried pushing and pulling, kicking the door with his boot out of frustration because the damn old door won't budge, he heard a familiar laugh and immediately his blood boiled. "Hey! You Fucking Royal Cunts! I WILL GUT YOU ALL OUT FOR THIS!!" He shouted as he gave a final kick out of anger and frustration. He then scanned the objects in the bedroom, that metallic candle pole could work, it's a shame he didn't bring his gun and he doubt that the knife in his boot could be strong enough to pry the door open. It could be the same when he thinks of jumping down- then he would most likely end up with a broken bone or shit, he does not need his employees and partner to dogpile him with concerns.
He grabbed the thing and immediately rams it on the door, only for it to break and bend after multiple tries of banging the thing on the damn door. "Shit! This door sure is high quality for a wooden fuck." He muttered as he slumped down on the bed, running out of ideas on what to do next before ultimately deciding to wait for Stolas to find him, if he knows that is. Blitzø knew Stolas would instantly worry if he isn't down there in the next 5 to 10 minutes, so he just needed to be patient with this.
And he was indeed correct.
Meanwhile, Stolas was lost in the crowd and he couldn't find his darling Blitzy anywhere. He had just dealt with Stella a few minutes ago and surprisingly Seokjin stepped in and proceeded to kick both her and Andrealphus out of the Cathedral and back into a portal that led back to hell. While grateful for the save, he was disappointed that his Blitzy couldn't have rescued him from his bitch ex-wife instead of the king he was briefly jealous of for flirting with Blitzø. Seokjin is currently keeping him company as the prince is searching through the crowd of royals.
"Look, he can't be that far. Sugar Boo could be on the top and not at the bottom." Seokjin said as he took a sip on a canister of Beezlejuice that he brought. He doesn't know if that was a sex joke or he meant the Cathedral's upper level or basement, but Stolas is too worried to care or make a remark about that.
"I know, and I'm just... Worried."
Seokjin then placed an arm around him, "Hey, listen... As an older brother and a lover to someone of lower class of the demon hierarchy, I totally get you, princey." He said rather calmly. "Now let's go upstairs, let's just hope he's not hurt or trap somewhere dangerous."
Suddenly, the moon shines ever so brightly and at the same time, bloody. It was the Blood Moon, it shines directly on the floating orbs of light as purple turned red like the moon itself. Royals began to murmur to themselves thinking that this was a part of the show. Though they aren't recognizing the looks on the seven Kings' faces, they're confused as to what the Fuck is happening. The stained window of Cecilion glimmers as the jewel on the performer's staff glowed as so did the eyes. Suddenly, the orb of light got dark and then it immediately burst like fireworks causing the royals to erupt into panic, the room flickered red and black as if it's some twisted horror rave party. Seokjin then grabbed Stolas and reunited with his brothers who gathered up near the ceremonial table.
"What the Fuck is this prank?!" Yoongi angrily asked Jungkook.
"Hey, don't look at me, I didn't do this!" Jungkook said.
"Guys, keep it together!" Namjoon shouted to which they all listen. Meanwhile, Stolas is searching frantically for his Blitzy, until he noticed something, he sensed some sort of trail leading up to the upper floors of the building. His eyes widen when he caught glimpse of a figure heading up the stairs. And it seems the other kings caught up with him.
"Oh, hell...!" Jimin breathed.
"Shit! After that twink!" Hoseok shrieked as Taehyung and Jungkook ran after it. Stolas followed them suit.
Meanwhile, Blitzø has no idea on what the Fuck is happening down there because he now hear uproars and clamors of royals. He sense dread and panic and no doubt Stolas is distressed that he couldn't find Blitzø. All the more reason why he wants to GET THE FUCK OUT AND FIND HIS PRINCE AND GO ON A FUCK FEST WITH HIM WHEN THEY RETURNED FROM THIS NOW SHITTY PARTY. He was having fun at first, but now he isn't. Blitzø paced around the room, he couldn't think straight because of the noise from downstairs, however something caught his attention and it was a glimmering blink if you miss it. On the mirror reflection, there's something behind him that glimmers in gorgeous red. It was hidden inside a secret compartment on the bed. There, it happens to be a jewel- a dark red jeweled brooch that is shaped like a heart, he took it in his hand as he turned to face the mirror, only to realize that a dark figure of a person stood behind him. He swiftly turned around only to see that the figure is gone, only for his eyes to go completely dark when a pair of hands covered his eyes and mouth to prevent him from screaming, he couldn't move and all of the sudden he was pushed to the wall harshly. Blitzø grunted and when he opened his eyes, he immediately regretted it. He got a good look of the shadowy figure and it screeched in such an unholy piercing pitch, it can be heard throughout the halls and everything fragile breaking into smithereens by how high and loud it sounds. Blitzø saw red and suddenly saw black after its eyes glowed dark red.
Meanwhile, Taehyung, Jungkook, and Stolas were running down the hall, chasing after whatever that was they saw at the stairs, until they heard the unholy screech and immediately covered their ears on how horrible that sound. As it died down, they immediately ran directly to the source, they stopped at a door that was open and went towards it. Only to see that it was empty and a mess, the mirror glass shattered, the bed destroyed with it sheets and pillows on the ground, and some trinkets and books on the ground. "Holy Shit! What the hell happened to this place?" Taehyung exclaimed. Stolas went in to inspect the place, every inch to find if there's any sign of his darling imp, only to let out a sad hoot when he couldn't find a trace.
"Stolas."
Immediately, he whipped his head around to see Blitzø unscathed, the two kings that accompanied him turn to see Blitzø, now out of his human disguise. He was immediately tackled by Stolas who dropped his disguise and nuzzled him lovingly.
"Darling, are you alright?" Stolas asked softly.
"I-I'm alright, Stols, just a bit pissed and a bit tired." Blitzø muttered as he felt his face being cupped by familiar talons. "Your fucking bitch of a wife locked me in this room."
"That bitch..." Stolas grumbled as he stood up with Blitzø in his arms, Stella is now on his 'To Spite Kill' list for this, ruining his night and even locking Blitzø up in this room. Though he has to wonder, how on earth did Blitzø made this mess, it looked like an earthquake or something, it couldn't have been Blitzø, and that shriek couldn't have come from him either knowing that there is a limited range and pitch on how Blitzø can scream, he knows how high and what limit Blitzø's range can even sing or scream, that ear-piercing screech was much higher only an opera singer or banshee could reach that level of tone, range, and pitch shatter anyone's eardrums and glasses.
"Yo, uh... Do you know what happened here?" Jungkook asked, snapping both their attention back at them.
"Um... No, I was hiding and I couldn't see anything, I covered my ears because of the damn screech, I swear I'm gonna punch that fucker for breaking my eardrums!" He said.
"I think we should leave... I knew this venue was a terrible idea." Taehyung muttered.
The four went back and closed the door. Back at the grand door where they first entered, they're the only ones left as all the other royals had left the vicinity and the kings were waiting for them near the steps. "There you two are... What a crazy night." Hoseok said.
"Well, it ain't bad, I did have fun despite being trapped in a dusty bedroom, but I enjoyed myself here." Blitzø spoke.
Stolas nodded as well, "It was a nice party to say, other than the inconveniences, however, I enjoyed my time, especially with my darling." Blitzø mumbled something as he rubbed his back.
They heard the kings chuckled which made Blitzø even more embarrassed, first of all, they're the Musical Phenomenon known as BTS, and secondly, the third most powerful beings in Hell, and finally, he really is a hard fan for them and their music.
"You two are such a delight!" Jimin spoke. "You're both our new favorite people!"
Blitzø grinned at that as Stolas hooted softly. It was then time to go home after that with BTS who opened a portal to the Goetia Manor as a treat and both stepped inside, the portal closed afterwards. Apparently, both are drained and Blitzø decided he should stay the night, Stolas was delighted and excitedly helped them get ready for bed, it was a good thing that Via's asleep too. She didn't even wanna come to the party knowing her mother would obviously just ruin the mood, so she decided that she gave that opportunity to Blitzø, to which Stolas was way too eager to tell and Octavia was pleased when Stolas told her that he would go. One quick text to Loona later, Stolas cuddled up to his darling imp and both drifted to sleep. Meanwhile, while asleep, Blitzø couldn't help but feel like something wrong and terrible will happen. He felt something different and it's making uncomfortable, something is crawling inside of him.
