(little bit of info before we start for those unfamiliar with this game: Seduce Me the Otome is a romantic interactive visual novel created by Michaela Laws. Mika, the main character, is left a mansion in her granfather's will, and when she enters it, comes to discover five men laying in a pool of blood! The brothers reveal themselves as James, Erik, Sam, Matthew, and Damien, and that they're incubi. (if you want to know what those are, look 'em up.) As the game goes on, you play as Mika and overcome bad guys and try to seduce either one of the five brothers (Sam is the cannon one), one of Mika's best friends, or even the two villains that emerge throughout the game. Its really fun to play, and you can get it for free on Steam or on the Google App Store. There's also lots of awesome voice acting.)

(Normal POV)

We had gathered in Mika's living room, eagerly waiting for Sam to lead Mak in from their morning out. We worked out butts off all morning to get everything set up- James and Erik on decorations, Matthew and Damien on cake duty, and Mika and  I on wrapping gifts, because we learned from Christmas to never trust the boys when it came to tape and wrapping paper. The cake was set, the gifts all wrapped, and decorations we're flawless; all that was missing was the birthday girl and her demon.

Ten minutes later, the front door opened, Sam's hands covering Mak's eyes. We all stayed quiet, as to assure the surprise.

"Sam? What's going on? What aren't I allowed to see?" She asked, slightly annoyed.

"Put some trust in me, doofus." Sam muttered as they stopped. He removed his hands and Mak's eyes widened as the rest of us jumped up.

"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAK!" we exclaimed. I ran over to my best friend, hugging her tightly. Mak hugged me back, a big smile on her face. She turned to Sam, placing her hands on her hips and looking into his green eyes.

When I look in your eyes again
I get trapped within you again
How come I am the one who's
Enslaved by you now?

"Did you know about this?" She asked him.

"Know about it?" Erik asked, chuckling. "Princess, he planned it all himself- as well as distributing tasks among the six of us."

"It was nothing..." Sam muttered, rubbing the back of his neck, embarassed. Damien and Matthew went to go cut the cake as Sam joined Mak, James and I on the wrap around couch, leaving Mika and Erik in the loveseat.

"So," I piped up, "What did you two do all morning, hm?"

"Well," Mak said, "the day started off with breakfast at that new local waffle house... what's it name again?

Then I hear you whisper to me
That you never will leave me be.
I can fell my body echoing for you now.

Sam whispered into her ear, causing her face to erupt in a pinkish-red glow, before she smacked his arm, though it seemed rather playful.

"Now I know for SURE that wasn't it's name!" She said, fanning her bright face. Sam chuckled.

"Right, it was Sweet Treats Waffles." Sam said.

"Right!" Mak said. "we just talked the entire meal, then went and watched a move I had been DYING to see, ya know, the one about the demon war and directed by Micheala Laws?"

I nodded. "Yeah, was it good?"

"More than good, it was BRILLIANT." Mak exclaimed.

Do you know what you do to me?
It's like a fantasy I wanna never leave!
But isn't it a little funny, that you're
The one controlling me?

(3rd person)

Sam looked over at Mak as she continued to discuss with Julie, James, Mika, and Erik the outing they had. Sam didn't quite understand what exactly drew himself to this girl before him; maybe it was because he saw a bit of himself in her, or maybe it was that she was unpredictable, an attribute he admired greatly. Either way, he knew that there was more than friendship feelings that lurked for her in his core.

But having her here, after the morning they had, just the two of them, felt like a dream. A dream that, well, he never wanted to wake up from.

I won't let you go

And at that moment, he realised his true feelings, while analysing, once again, her features- her chestnut hair and matching eyes, the slight curve of her hourglass body, the way she laughed at anything funny, appropriate or not.

There was no way he would let her go. He cared for her too much.

You've turned the tables on me now
You've trapped me in your cage somehow
I can never escape from you,
but baby, that's alright!

Before they came to the human world, Sam was never considered the nice one. In fact, his previous actions dictated him to be, instead, the "bad boy" of his brothers. Soon, it was time for cake, and one by one, the other four made their way into the kitchen. Before she could get up, Sam tugged on her sleeve, keeping her on the couch.

"Um... before we join the group." He held out a small box. "Here. A little something from me."

You've chained the monster deep inside
This sick and sinful body of mine
But you better be ready when you lay with me tonight

Mak took the box, opening it up to reveal two necklaces: one that had Chained the Monster, the title of her favorite song, written in cursive; the second, also in cursive, said Makayla + Sam. Sam coughed into his hand, before looking up at her.

"Um... " He tried to find the words to say, before getting fustrated. "F*ck it," he grabbed her wrist and dragged her to his room, pressing the play button on his cd player. A familiar song rang through its speakers as he opened his mouth and sung to her, softly.

"You've chained the monster deep inside this sick and sinful body of mine. But you better be ready when you lay with me tonight. Prepare to scream my name, tonight." He trailed off. "Mak... no, Makayla, will you be my girlfriend?"

Mak threw her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly and whispering into his ear, before heading back downstairs.

"Alright, but you better be ready to scream my name tonight."

(Normal POV)

Once Mak and Sam came back downstairs, I turned to James with a smile, having yet to touch the cake as we waited for the birthday girl.

"Those two look adorable together; I'm glad Sam's plan worked; those knuckleheads we're made for each other.

James nodded, chuckling. "You're right my love, but I'd say that we are too."

"And don't forget about us James." Erik said, pulling Mika close to him.

Mak walked in and sat down, with Sam following shortly after, then lacing his hand with hers.

"Heh, five bucks Sam uses his powers on her to the extreme." Matthew whispered to Erik. Erik nodded as Sam smacked their heads together.

"Oh shut it. Eat the cake."

Everyone dived into their cake, laughing and celebrating long into the night.

Prepare to scream my name tonight.
