AN: This one-shot idea and ship was suggested by Welshkitsune

Devin sat in the devil's mansion, curled into a little ball as he sniffled. His eyes were red and puffy and it was obvious that he had been crying.

Why?

Well, you see, Devin had liked this one guy for a few weeks now and well he had decided to go for it and ask the guy out. Only to face rejection and not the nice kind either.

The guy had outright laughed in his face before asking him why the incubus even thought he would go out with an ugly thing like him, breaking both the incubus' heart and his self-confidence.

Devin had never been the most secure individual. He had gotten made fun by other demons growing up for his looks and even his own mother wanted him to try and cover up his ugly face with a layer of hideous looking make up. That or his markings, oh he hated his markings. His markings looked like they were drawn by a ten year old after his first art class. They just stood out and made him that much more unattractive.

He felt his tail wrap around him as if to comfort him and his soft cries turned into sobs. That was another thing he hated, his dumb tail. None of the other incubus had had tails growing up so that had just given them another reason to pick on him. Of course now he knew why he had one but that didn't help with the pain he felt remembering all the harsh taunts he had had to endure.

He was wrapped up in his terrible memories that he didn't notice someone enter the room. He also didn't hear the person gasp and run over to him. It was only when he felt a light touch on his wings and a question of whether or not he was ok that he noticed that he wasn't alone anymore.

He lifted one of his wings slightly to reveal Pierre in front of him, his golden eyes glittering in concern.

"Oh, hi Pierre, what brings you here?" Devin asked wiping his eyes as he sat up

"I live here." The skeleton pointed out before asking gently. "But nevermind that, why are you crying?"

"I-its nothing, Pierre, don't worry about it." Devin sniffled as he wiped away his tears with his sleeves.

"It doesn't look like nothing." Pierre pointed out as he sat down beside him. "Will you please tell what's wrong?"

Looking into those golden eyes, Devin knew that he couldn't lie to the skeleton but at the same time, he didn't want to tell him. Tears started gathering in his eyes once more, making the skeleton's eyes widen in concern as he rushed to hug him. He hugged the skeleton back, a warm feeling growing in his chest from the hug even as he cried. 

When he finally got his tears under control, he just sat sniffling in Pierre's arms. Pierre was silent for a moment before he quietly asked what was bothering him once more. 

"I- I- I got rejected..." He managed to say after a moment making the skeleton gasp. 

"What? How could anyone reject you?" Pierre asked in shock. 

"Maybe because I'm ugly..." Though he said it quietly, the skeleton still heard him and Pierre gave him a stern look. "Don't say that! You are not ugly."

"Oh really? How's am I not?" Devin asked not looking up at the skeleton. He imagined that the skeleton wouldn't have much to say considering he knew the skeleton couldn't lie.

"Well for one, your markings make you look really cool!" His head jerked up to look at the skeleton with wide eyes. No one had ever COMPLIMENTED his markings. He felt warmth rise in his cheeks as the skeleton continued. "They compliment your wings and tail making you that much cuter. And then your eyes always sparkle when you laugh or when you're happy which makes them really pretty."

His face was a deep red from all the compliments. No one had ever said anything like that to him. Not to mention, he could tell that the skeleton was being entirely truthful. Pierre looked like he was going to continue before he saw Devin's face. "You ok, Devin? Your face is really red."

"I-um, I'm fine, I've just... never gotten so many compliments before," Devin admitted even as he ducked his head to try and cover his blush. 

"Huh? But you're adorable?" Devin blushed even harder even as he shook his head. He wasn't adorable. "Yes, you are! I can prove it!"

Devin looked up at the skeleton curiously at that, only to be absolutely shocked at the skeleton leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. His face went a deep cherry red even as he stared at Pierre who now had a light purple blush over his own cheeks. 

"S-see, you're face is that adorable cherry red color now..." Pierre said sounding nervous. Devin for his part just stared for another moment before he started to ask. "Pierre-"

"I'm sorry! I thought maybe- ah forget it..." Pierre turned to walk away but Devin grabbed his sleeve and stopped him. 

"Pierre? Do you... like me?" Devin asked quietly, almost afraid of the answer. 

Pierre didn't respond for a moment before he admitted. "Yes... I'm sorry I don't want this to ruin our friendshi-"

Before Pierre could finish, Devin leaned forward and kissed him. Pierre looked at him in shock for a moment before kissing back, pulling Devin closer to him. They kissed for several minutes before pulling away since Devin still needed air, unlike Pierre. 

They didn't say anything but Pierre did pull Devin so that the incubus was in his lap. The two cuddled on the couch for a while with Pierre still giving Devin little compliments that had him blushing as the previous insecurities melted away.
