More than Friends

Damien Helbourne x Reader



 

    The blissful land of Al Maajik utterly stunned young { Y/N }, as well as her companion, Butterfly. The young hero was urged just the day before to visit the magical land to recover the third Goddess Treasure by Professor Hues and King Erik. It was a quick half-a-day journey to Al Maajik, even by horse sadly.  But it was worth it.

    Magic fluttered through the air, stunning the young woman. She was fond of her Wizard Life, so entering this lovely land seemed like a dream she didn't want to awake from. Even through her silent exterior , her fluttery companion could see her awestruck state. { Y/N } quickly changed her emotion to her emotionless facade and continued onward with her striking steed.


    { Y/N } could feel the cold, intense states of many of the Knights she passed in the Sandtown. Even some pedestrians. But soon enough, her horse came to a slow halt when a cowering man in golden armor stood in their path. He seemed to be whispering small encouragements to himself while looking onwards to the Dark Sultan's castle. The female hero sighed softly and climbed off her steed while Butterfly began to openly talk to the stranger.

  "Go on to the stables," { Y/N } commanded softly to her mount, careful to not be heard. The steed responded with a curt nod, and trotted off.

  "{ Y/N }, Magnificus. Magnificus, { Y/N }!," Butterfly introduced sweetly between the two humans, who both at least acknowledged each other. " { Y/N }, Magnificus here is going to see the Dark Sultan! Let's go with him!"

  "I would need some noble squires to accompany me on my journey to the Dark Sultan's Fortress!," The egotistical man shouted bravely, then ran behind { Y/N }. "Y-you lead. I-I-It will be fitting for a squire to escort the brave hero, no?"


 Immediately, she despised him. But, seeing as Butterfly made him some sort of promise, she is  sworn to help keep that promise. Or maybe because she couldn't say no. Whatever floats your boat. Taking the first step on the bridge to the Fortress almost left her breathless. The castle, was beyond breathtaking. It was an amazing sight to behold that she would only see in her dreams. But this is no dream. And there was no going back,

 They met up with Eldred near the entrance. Unfortunately, his acting was sad, and secondly, he sent Maajiknights as a test to the two warriors. Well, one warrior and a so-called hero. Quickly, { Y/N } swung out her long claymore, though heavy, it was her favorite weapon. Magnificus did the same, and the fight began.

 With many swings of her sword, she smacked down the Maajiknights and eventually made them give up. A "noble squire" like her cannot just kill a knight. Sadly, though, she was the only one attacking the Knights after Magnificus bravely squealed in terror of the sight of the chubby Maajiknight and ran off to who knows where.


 Eldred was clearly impressed with { Y/N }'s swift movements. Clapping slowly, he approached the slightly larger female. "Impressive! Very impressive. But now - test #2!! Fight me!" ( He also added on some ghost noises, but poor Damien requested that it would be removed for the sake of his self-esteem. )

 Butterfly cheered on { Y/N } as she swiped out her large claymore and held it to his neck, causing a squeal to emit from the old man.

 But suddenly, with the fabulous luck the young hero has, a large voice broke the fight. "ELDRED! STOP EMBARRASSING ME, PLEASE. I WOULD LIKE TO MEET THIS ... HERO. SEND HER IN."

"But, Your Darkness -"

 The voice immediately cut him off. "ELDRED!! NOW!!"

 The elder sighed deeply, but stepped aside and held his old, wrinkly hand towards the entrance. "His Darkness awaits you, Hero."

 { Y/N } nodded and casually walked into the fortress. The place was quiet, but held a lot of magical power like the land it resides in. As the { h/c } girl opened the portal, she heard small murmurs of the Maajiknights giving her 'good luck' and 'hope His Darkness has mercy on you'. Butterfly groaned in annoyance as she kept her position as a buttertie on top of her head.

"Don't worry, { Y/N }. They don't know about our mission."


 The Throne Room seemed empty until she came across a teenager, not much older than herself probably, swinging his feet on his large throne. The boy had short, purple hair, and a sort of desert attire ( that actually shows his bare chest ). His face was actually almost as emotionless as her's, until he noticed { Y/N } presence and smirked slightly. He then proceeded to jump off his throne and progress his way towards her.

" { Y/N }, was it? Listen to me well; from this day forth, you will be my slave and follow my every word." He added a light ( maybe dark ) chuckle, surprising { Y/N } with his deep voice.

"OH GOD, { Y/N }, HE IS EVIL. BEAT HIM. BEAT HIM TO A-"

"Woah, woah, woah. Chill there, little Butterfly," The purple haired boy held up his hands in surrender, his violet dog barking next to him. "I'm just joking. I'm not going to hurt you. You know, I'm just trying to play up this whole 'Dark Sultan' thing. I'm Damien Helbourne, by the way. Nice to meet you."

"Same goes to you, Damien!" Butterfly chirped happily.

 Both beings then looked to the side to see Damien's prized dog, Cerberus, barking happily at { Y/N }. Her skin held a small smile as she pet the dog behind the ear. "Do you talk him for walks? He loves them." She spoke ever so softly, smiling sweetly at the young Dark Sultan.

 He blinked in utter surprise and felt a rush of heat run to his face. Damien tried to shake off the sudden burst of heat, but heard a surprised butterfly speak up. "Wow! { Y/N } almost never speaks! Consider yourself lucky, Damien!"

 The heat returned to his face once again.

 Newly crowned Champion, { Y/N } just saved Revaria as well as mastering each Life. She was well known throughout the lands now. Damien has seen many men try to woo the silent girl, much to his dismay. But, thanks to her quiet exterior, she made the men bored easily. ( Damien got to see it in action at Andy's feasts after she'd returned from Lunares. )

 Damien lay on his bed-like throne, staring at the ceiling and pondering on what Revaria must have looked like on Lunares. He pondered how she would have felt staring down at the world like a God. His thoughts were soon interrupted by the sound of the portal being used.

 "Mother, I'm not in the mood to take a visit to the Library again," Damien spoke blankly, closing his eyes. His lanky arms were crossed behind his head, providing him with a perfect sleeping position.

 "I'm actually not your Mother. And frankly, I'm a bit offended." A small, silky voice spoke; closer than expected.

 The Dark Sultan's eyes shot open to see a small smirk, along with bored, { h/c } eyes. Locks of { h/c } hair fell down from her face onto his own. Damien squealed in surprise, accidentally smacking his forehead harshly against hers. { Y/N } screamed out in surprise and fell backwards, holding her bruised head. She mumbled softly and rubbed the spot Damien had hit.


 "A-Ah, my apologies, { Y/N }!!," The male teenager jumped off his comfortable throne and ran to the heroine's safety. "I thought you were my Mother, and, well, you surprised me if you haven't already guessed ..."

 { Y/N } smiled in forgiveness and stopped attending to her injury. "It's alright, Damien. Besides, I've had worse," She gave him a cheeky smile ( she had started opening up to people after Yuelia helped her get friends - and thankfully, had started to open up more so to Damien. ) and patted his cheek. The girl quickly hopped to her feet and stretched her arms. "Hey, I came over to see if you'd like to go see something sweet."

 Of course, he couldn't resist an adventure and possibly a fun time with { Y/N }. His gaze softened and gave a small smile. "I'd love to."

 Odin had once told Damien that the rush of heat to his face was a cause of embarrassment and was called a "blush". The Maajiknight Captain then asked for his thoughts on { Y/N }. After a long, and a very deep description on { Y/N } from Damien's eyes, Odin then diagnosed His Darkness with a case of In Love. A very severe case, though.
 
 Since then, Damien has been seeking advice from many people and books on the thoughts and advice on love. He even got Yuelia to show him some romance novels. He's read everything, and learned everything he could. Every time he sees her face, his breath is caught. Every time he hears her soft voice, he feels his heart race. Every time he sees her save him ( or literally anyone ), he feels like holding onto her frail, yet strong body and never letting go.


 Damien enjoys this feeling, even if it can hurt at times.

All the times he's seen her with someone else, laughing and going on adventures, he just ... can't take it. It hurts him too much.

He was snapped out of his thoughts when he felt a small gust of wind hit his ears. Damien jumped slightly and looked to the side to see { Y/N } face dangerously close to his own. A blush soon erupted on his pale features as he stuttered out words.

 "You were out of it, Damien," she stated blankly, then smiled brightly. "Well, at any rate, we're almost there."

Indeed he was out of it. Apparently he didn't even realize they were in Elderwood Village. { Y/N } then guided him past Danuta and into the Spirit Tree. Damien gave a small acknowledgement of the Spirit before he was engulfed in darkness.


 "Just hold onto my hand and you won't get lost," { Y/N } stated softly as she grabbed his cold, pale hands into her warm, silky ones. "Almost there, Damien."


 Light flashed into Damien's pupils, blinding him as he hissed. Luckily, the heroine keep her hold onto his hand and let him a few steps forward.


 "'Kay, open your eyes," { Y/N } directed him, a bit of hype edging her voice.

 Slowly, he did as she ordered, but his eyes quickly shot open. Here he stood, on top of what feels like all of Revaria, looking down on a fogy Grassy Plains as well as Castele. Damien's mouth was agape in awestruck as he walked to the edge of the large branch, the petite girl still in his hold.


 "Isn't it amazing? I come here all the time," { Y/N } said quietly, basking in the sight of Revaria. "And look," She tapped Damien's shoulder and pointed over at a luxurious boat in the tree. "Is the Goddess Ship!"

 "This is ...," The Dark Sultan was at lost with words. The purple haired teenager looked to the side to see bright, { e/c } eyes staring sweetly into his own. { Y/N } gave a cheeky grin, her eyes sparkling.


 "You like it?" She asked hesitantly, twiddling her thumbs together as a pink hue rose to her cheeks.

 Maybe it was the moment that led Damien to his actions. Or maybe it was because he's just tired. Who knows? He responded to her question by cupping her cheeks and forcefully mashing her lips against his. ( Sadly, though, Damien had no idea how to "kiss", so they literally just stood there until { Y/N } started to kiss back. )

 Damien quickly parted from their sweet kiss and started sputtering out nothing. He deeply tried to explain, he did, but his face was beat red and he couldn't really get over his embarrassment. { Y/N } blinked in surprise, then burst out in laughter which made his face all the more redder. She rarely laughed, and her laugh was the most melodic thing he has ever heard. Damien started to cough; attempting to cover his face and to halt his excuses.

 { Y/N }'s laugh softened to a chuckle. "Damien, shut up," she grabbed the cape around his neck and smashed her lips back onto his. It was probably better than the first, since she knew what she was doing, and because she was chuckling cutely the whole time. They parted slowly, her gaze giving him sentimental look. "You're such a cute dork, you know?"

 Damien's face didn't change color, but he gave a small, shaky smile back. "Yeah. I know."
