Don!Beetlejuice x S/o Headcannons

The Netherworld is ruled by seven main families including: Astaroth, Shaggoth, Beezlebub and Leviathan

Each family is led by their Head Don and each Don controls a portion of the Netherworld

- Beetlejuice, being Juno's only son, has been raised his entire life to become the next head. Truthfully Juno never treated him like a son - he was the heir and was to act befitting of his stature

Unfortunately, his desire for love and attention made him easily manipulated and due to his shenanigans, Juno disowns him and banishes him to the human realm with the curse that he would only be seen if he was able to get a human to say his name three times

Trapped, invisible, borderline powerless, he spends the next few decades trying to get someone's - anyone's - attention, to no avail

In comes s/o, who is trying to escape from a bad situation by moving deep in the country.

Beetlejuice prepares to just sit back and watch another breather go through their life ignoring him - but this breather can see him

Holy shit

Cue fanfare, trumpets, fireworks - NEW BEST FRIIIIIEEEEEEENNNNNDDDD!!!!

S/O is taken aback by this new and extremely clingy spirit suddenly attaching himself to them, but they can't deny that having him around was a welcome distraction. But they are far too skittish to say his name just yet

Even though he doesn't stop trying to get them to say his name, he's ecstatic to have them see him and wants to keep them with him all the more

Shockingly gentle, like he sees s/o has been through a lot and tries not to scare them too much. Jumpscares and little pranks, sure, but he doesn't want to hurt them.

S/o slowly grows used to these little pranks and honestly finds then pretty amusing? Like they realize he's mostly harmless - yeah he's perverted and yeah his main go to for solving problems makes more problems, but he's a good guy

Things are rather peaceful until, unfortunately, s/o's problems catch up with them and they find themselves in trouble once again

>If it's their abuser, they find them

>If it's their debts, they're at risk of losing the house

Whatever it is, something is coming between him and his breather and Beetlejuice is not having it

He's much more adamant about having them say his name and while they're still skittish, they find that they trust Beetlejuice. And they don't have anyone else to turn to anyways

They make him promise that he won't kill anyone before they finally say his name three times

"It's showtime!!"

Freed and ready to protect s/o, Beetlejuice chases any threat far, far off of the property

After having this threat looming over them for so long, s/o is in disbelief, but they're also so grateful to Beetlejuice that the moment he returns, they practically fling themselves into his arms

They can finally touch one another as well and this is Beetlejuice's first hug in... well.... forever. He doesn't want to let go, but ultimately he is the one to break the embrace

"Heh, well guess I should be going then..." he's so used to being used and cast aside that he's already trying to leave

"What? No! I-I mean, do you have to?" Hurt and confused, s/o clings to him

It takes a minute, like a good minute, for Beej to realize that what??? They actually want him to stay??? But as the realization sinks in, a bright smile spreads across his face

"Well, doll, if you're that against me going, maybe I'll just stay a while."

Now, before, when they were living together Beetlejuice was pretty limited to what he could so. He couldn't really affect anything and he certainly couldn't touch s/o but now? Now he had free range throughout the house

He starts off small, of course, just setting his hand on their waist or on their shoulder, taking their hand in his - little things, but the poor guy is so touch starved that each contact lingers as much as it can

Before, when s/o had a nightmare or was feeling anxious, all he could do was talk to them to try and take their mind off of it - but now? Now when they have a nightmare they ask him to come and cuddle until they can calm down. Sure, Beetlejuice feels rather cold at first, but he quickly seems to heat up and he feels so comfortable it's easy to fall asleep on his chest. He will play with his s/o's hair for hours after they've fallen asleep

After cuddling is allowed, Beetlejuice becomes even more clingy, draping himself on top of them at any given moment - he claims it's because they're so warm

Unfortunately, his hair turns bright ass pink every time s/o touches him and that's a bit of a dead give away

But because he's trying this hot new thing called self control, s/o has to he the one to make the first real move and kiss him

He's in the middle of telling a joke and his face is all lit up and he has the cutest damn smile and s/o is just sitting there, staring at him dreamily and fuck they're realizing just how bad they've got it for him and wow his lips are kissable and oops??? They just??? Leaned in and kissed him??

Error.exe Beetlejuice has stopped working. His words falter, his hair is magenta, he keeps opening and closing his mouth as if trying to say something but is unable to find words

"C-can you do that again?" Is the question he's eventually able to get out. Adorable.

Wants to kiss s/o all the time. But he's been raised all his life that he has to do some sort of task to get rewards, so he starts doing things around the house in hopes of getting kisses. Dishes done, not the best but hey, it was his first time. Laundry? He accidentally mixed whites and colors, but once he's told why that's not good, he's super careful after. Breakfast in bed? Beetlejuice.... I'm not eating a spider.

But even after the failed attempts, he's looking just so distraught and keeps glancing at their lips and his hair turns a little blue and dammit if they can't resist just leaning in to hug him and give kisses anyways. He's just too cute.

Unfortunately, news of the curse breaking soon reaches Juno who is pissed

He was supposed to stay cursed and invisible until she decided to go and get him - then he would have learned his lesson and been a more appreciative son! Not actually find some dumbass human to say his name!

She sends a message out to Beetlejuice, telling him that she is happy to see his curse was broken and tells him to return to the Netherworld and meet with her to talk

But... he doesn't want to leave his babes.... when he goes and explains the situation to s/o, however, they're understanding and even encourage him to go to the Netherworld. After all, it's his mother, she must want to reconcile, right?

Not soon after Beetlejuice leaves, a door opens and s/o is dragged down into the Netherworld by a pair of demons as well where they're taken to meet with Juno

Juno tells them that she sent Beetlejuice on some mission that was to take him the better half of the next decade - which would give her plenty of time to figure out just what to do with this stupid, meddling breather

Turns out Beetlejuice's habit of just oversharing is hereditary because Juno just starts talking and doesn't stop - telling s/o how they ruined her plans, and made Beetlejuice all soft and when they were gone, she could whip him back into what he was supposed to be and hearing all of this infuriates s/o

If they could untie themselves, they would've attacked and ripped out a bigger hole in her neck already, but they're stuck there having to listen to this... this bitch bad talks her baby

Before they could snap and let her know just what they thought of her, however, Juno grabs them by the neck and is preparing to slice them open

CRASH

the door flies open to reveal a bright red Beej, who's hair turns an even darker shade of scarlet when he sees that someone has their hands on his s/o

The very air is shaking around the demon, his voice growing low and dangerous as he asks Juno just what the hell she's doing

Juno tries to spin some bullshit story about how s/o was just using him, just like everyone else that had ever tried to get close to him, but its clear he just isn't buying it

He tells her in no uncertain terms that she had best back the fuck away from his babes unless she wanted to lose her hand

Juno is shooketh he's never stood up to her and he's especially never talked to her like that! She's also furious because he's supposed to be an obedient son

Can't really be an obedient son to someone who was never a mother tho

She goes to hurt s/o only for Beetlejuice to send her flying, pinning her back against the far wall and with a loud whistle, he opens a door straight to Saturn.

Enter the Sandworm ™️

"Sorry ma, but I'm not gonna let you hurt my babes."

Juno: Exit stage left being mauled by sandworm.

Beetlejuice kneels to untie s/o, his hair a weird mixture of blue, red and white. He's just so ready for them to decide that he's not worth the trouble and break things off with him

Only to have s/o pull him into their arms the moment they're freed and try to console him

Uhhh... what?

They're stroking his back and assuring him that everything is ok, that they're alright, that they're here and uh isn't that what he's supposed to be saying?? But he still clings to them and buries his face in their neck, just so relieved that he made it here on time.

They're so engrossed with one another they don't realize they have an audience until someone clears their throat

"Uhhh dude? Having a moment here? You mind??"

But um... their don's gone and the heirs there so??? Doesn't that make him the new Don?

..... what?

Realization is sinking in slow, it takes s/o explaining the situation to him for it to actually hit

He's the Don now?? What???? He was just trying to save babes?

But wait? If he's the Don, doesn't that mean he has to stay here?

He doesn't want to leave s/o! But they have to return home, don't they?

Two options:

>Either s/o chooses to stay in the Netherworld with him

>They chose to go back home and either visit Beetlejuice in the Netherworld or he comes and sees them

Either way, the only reason Beetlejuice stood up to Juno at all is because of s/o, all the power, status, and money he has now is because of them and he doesn't forget it for a second

Everything that he has is at their disposal

S/o wants something? They're barely able to ask before he gets it for them

He makes a home for them in the Netherworld and it's filled to the brim with his gifts

Whenever Beetlejuice has the moment, he devotes it totally to s/o, either giving them tours of the Netherworld or returning to the human realm for 'regular' dates

Aaand there will be a part 2 to this cuz I have a lot of ideas but yeaaah. Love me some soft Bj who just wants to dote on his lover
