Monster - Envy X Reader: Part 6

So...a human.

Envy stared up at the ceiling as the sleeping girl next to him nuzzled her face into his neck.

What the hell was he doing here? He was with a human, and he wasn't trying to fight or kill her. Why? What made her different from all the others?

He tried to think. Well, she wasn't afraid of him. Except for his true form, but whatever. She wasn't boring, she always had something interesting to say. She liked him and actually offered to be his friend, something that had never happened before.

She gave him kindness, something he never had. Yes, maybe that was it. Maybe.

"What have you done to me?" Envy looked over at (Y/N). "Why do I feel this way?" She didn't respond, obviously. "I mean, you make me...happy. But there's something else, I can't name it. It's also good, I think."

He thought for a moment. If he had a heart, it would've raced whenever she even LOOKED at him. Her rare smiles and laughs made him happy, their little talks were great, and she was just so nice to a monster like him. An ugly monster like him.

Then it hit him. This feeling had a name. He had heard about it a lot, but he didn't think he was able to experience it.

Love.

I have to get out of here and never come back! Envy moved to get up. I'm so disgusted with myself! God forbid the rest of them find out! He stopped himself, looking down at (Y/N)'s sleeping face. It looked...peaceful. She always had that pokerface of hers, but not anymore. It was content.

He couldn't bring himself to leave. She was groping around the bed for him now, whimpering in her sleep. Nightmare.

"Dammit..." He lay down again, and she grabbed his arm. She immediately calmed down a bit, but still frowned. "Hey, it's okay." He stroked her (H/L) (H/C) hair gently.

"Envy," (Y/N) muttered in her sleep. "Please...please don't leave me..."

"Shh, I won't." He squeezed her hand. "I'm not going anywhere."

A small smile crossed her face. "Okay." She hugged him close, and he could smell her shampoo. "Okay..."

"It's all going to be juuuuust fine." Envy couldn't help grinning devilishly. Poor girl was so naïve. The world was a cruel place, and she had no idea.

"Hey." He touched (Y/N)'s forehead. "No matter what happens, I am going to keep you safe. I promise." He clutched at his hair, gritting his teeth. Why would I say that?! I couldn't possibly care less if she died right now! He hesitated, then checked her for a pulse. Just in case.

I mean, it's not like he CARED or anything. Nope. Not at all.

"Once I figure out what you're doing to me, I'm putting a stop to it. I'm still not entirely sure what I'm feeling, all I'm sure of is that I can't feel like this for a human of all things." Envy rolled his eyes with a scoff. "I mean it, (Y/N). I have plans that I can't mess up."

(Y/N) pulled him closer, mumbling something incoherently.

"Well, it's not going to be easy to put a stop to it, that's for sure." He ran his fingers through her hair. "You're almost as beautiful as me," he snickered. "The most beautiful human I've ever seen."
