“You’re cold. Come here.” ( mammon )

𝐒𝐎𝐅𝐓 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 ♡ | @xamassed​

       A peaceful night which seemed rare in the Devildom. But, maybe it was a rarity because they always created some kind of chaos ( and things escalated whenever they were around Mammon ). Still, for once, everything seemed so calm. A perfect way to end their day together, they thought. And how did the exchange student want to waste some hours with the other? 

       By window shopping, of course! Most stores appeared closed. Not a problem for them. Being out was enough. After two weeks of studying non-stop, they needed it, and so... They begged and begged until Mammon agreed to take them out. Kaoru imagined he was bored out of his mind as he watched them move from storefront to storefront, simply looking at their own reflection for a few seconds before peeking inside through the windows. 

       It was fun! Until the temperature decided to change on them. As the outside cooled down, Kaoru noticed their body reacting to the freezing cold. The shivering was bothersome but it didn’t stop them from moving around, it only slowed them down. In a sad attempt to stay warm, they hugged themself as they approached another window but stopped halfway when their company finally spoke. “ Yeah, okay. ” Any other day, they would have argued ( probably ) but not that day. Without much care, they moved closer to the demon, not waiting a single second for him to react. With Mammon’s jacket being open, Kaoru took the opportunity to wrap their arms around his chest, making sure to somewhat get some coverage and heat. The shivering didn’t stop and so, they buried their face in the demon’s chest, keeping it there until they had to move away in order to breathe. 

       “ Mammon? ” Lifting their head to meet his gaze, they sighed in defeat when they realized they couldn’t stay out any longer. “ Let’s go home and cuddle? ” That was a surefire way to warm up and continue their “date”. A shame when they wanted to stay out a while but after burying their face in his chest again and remaining there a bit longer, they knew it was time to go. Trying to convince themself, they spoke again ( completely muffled thanks to hiding their face ), “ Carry me home, pleeeeease? ”

“i don’t care who did it, i just want it cleaned before i get back from my meeting with lord diavolo. understood?” / @selflesstwin

       “ ...Oh. Yeah, of course. We’ll take care of that. ” Maybe it was best to keep what happened to the library to themself. The others would surely take care of it. They were great for cleaning up the exchange student’s mess.

       “ Anyways, while I’m here, I’ve been meaning to ask you... Are you okay? That’s probably a dumb question because you always have a lot on your plate but you seem extra stressed. ” And they were worried.

       What a devastating sight. The way that Beel spoke about himself absolutely broke their heart. The exchange student couldn’t comprehend all the negative words being said. They didn’t agree with any of it. If only he could see the wonderful qualities that he had but Kaoru knew it was difficult to recognize those things when the mind said differently. But, for the moment, that was fine. If he struggled to accept the affirmations, well, then Kaoru would stick around and stay with him until he felt a little better. They couldn’t take away the insecurities, the sadness but they could keep him company. 

       “ Y’know, when I invite you to cook and bake with me, it’s not because I need help making servings for everyone. I invite you because I enjoy your company and I want to make you something. There’s nothing wrong with eating and enjoying food, Beel. And, no one is going hungry. Everyone is eating, trust me. Your brothers are fine, I’m fine. I make plenty for everyone. ” Kaoru didn’t budge as arms held them. If anything, they became a little more comfortable, enjoying the contact with the other. “ Also, I love your hugs. I think you’re always gentle with me and your brothers can handle your bear hugs. I’m positive that they love them. ”

       There was a lot to go over. Kaoru hoped that some of their words were reaching him. “ We’re not tolerating. We love you, Beel. I mean... Your brothers love you very much and I- ” Cheeks turned a light shade of red as they relaxed a bit more, “ ...I love you, too. You’re dear to me. Please, tell me what I can do for you right now. ”

"Alright, stand there. Don't look, I mean it!" Mammon shifted around to make sure they weren't peeking through their fingers, a small nod of approval going unseen by the human. "I had t'pull a couple strings, but after ya gave me my gift, I fiugured this might make ya feel a little more comfortable."

He touched at their wrists and pulled their hands from their face, allowing Kaoru to see where the demon had taken them. After a meandering, ten minute drive he had squirreled them away through a narrow alleyway and into the back door of a studio he had earned the keys to — not stolen, not won, but politely asked for. Because as keen as he was to pick pockets and make risky bets, he cared more for giving Kaoru a legitimate present than a dirty, ill-gotten one.

"We got all day t'morrow t'use this studio. They said ya could use whatever fabric ya wanted, however much ya wanted, so long as ya put your heart int'a it. But I didn't wanna wait 'til mornin' t'show ya, so I thought I'd bring ya here now." With a shrug, he shoved his hands into his pockets. He wanted them to like the gift, but he was prepared to throw up his walls if it wasn't as thoughtful and impressive as he'd thought it would be. "Merry Christmas."

Christmas Vibes 2021! | @xamassed

       “ Y’know, I was really hoping you’d let me drive here. No hovering, no threatening to throw me in the backseat. But, I should have known better. That would be a Christmas miracle, ” said the atheist. Anyways, don’t mind them babbling away because they’re nervous. Kaoru didn’t know what was in store and being instructed to close their eyes and wait patiently... Well, it was torture for them. So, they rambled on like an idiot until the other finally spoke again. “ I’m not looking! ” The exchange student pouted and turned on their listening ears again. The mention of the gift that they had given him made them grimace ( please, they were trying to forget it ) but they immediately dropped it when they felt fingers on them. 

       When amber eyes scanned the area, their mouth fell slightly. Kaoru was doing their best to listen but some words were missed ( sorry ). “ Mammon... ” A few steps were taken so they could approach the different materials in the studio, hands lightly touching the fabrics. Ideas flooded into their head, designs that they had drawn since they arrived in the Devildom. They could finally make the outfits that they dreamed of. Nothing for them, of course. The designer hardly made anything for themself but every single outfit they designed for all their new friends and for Mammon. The realization that they had a sketchbook with multiple designs for their special demon flustered them. He would never find out about that. But, they would do their best to create as many outfits as they could from that specific sketchbook. 

       “ I figured this would be the day that you finally kill me for accidentally setting a fire in your room and trying to steal your car. Yeah, I set the fire, not Levi. Oops. ” Their back remained turned to him, unable to look at him since they were crying. It was the reason they were being stupid on purpose. They knew that he wouldn’t laugh at them or poke fun but they were feeling too shy. So, they made jokes. If only he knew what the gift meant to them. It made them feel at home and they hadn’t quite felt that since they arrived in the Devildom. Hands wiped away any lingering tears and when they felt okay enough to face him, they walked over to him, head down ( still embarrassed about crying ). 

       Arms wrapped around him, face being buried in his chest, they were silent for once. When they finally had the confidence to speak again, they pulled away but reached for his hands. “ I’m going to make you a better Christmas present! I’m assuming that you have to stay here and babysit me so... You’ll be my model for everything, alright? ” After letting him go, they rested one hand on the back of the other’s neck and pulled him down so Kaoru’s lips could meet his. The gift deserved a kiss, one that said thank you but also revealed their feelings for him ( well, most of their feelings ). And when they finally parted, they took his hand again. “ I don’t know where to start. Oh! Wait! Mammon! I left my sketchbooks back at the house! ”

       “ Kaoru? Are you listening? ” The hand of a friend moved in front of their eyes, obstructing their view of the demon who disappeared into another room. With his presence missing from the space, the exchange student finally zeroed into the conversation once more. Still, their mind wandered and when she finally finished wrapping up, they excused themself and promised to meet up later. An urgent matter came up, that’s what they said. To anyone else, that would have been a complete lie but for Kaoru, it was very serious. 

       Pulling the door towards them, they stepped into the silent library and scanned the area for a moment before exploring. The silence, the smell, the sound of others studying, pages being turned, idle chatter... Kaoru loved it all. A place where knowledge rested. So many hours spent looking through books not available in the human world. They could get lost in the different worlds but that desire was put aside for something more compelling. Finally, they moved around the area and looked through half of the aisles before they landed on the reason that they even ditched their friend and entered their favorite place. 

       Funny how they had been going up and down the library with quick steps but upon seeing him, everything slowed down. They never planned ahead and that was on them. So, as they took slow steps, they ransacked their brain for something to say. And yet, nothing came up for them once they finally stood beside the other. Head tilted slightly upwards so they could meet his gaze and when silence filled the space, they panicked. That same old feeling returned. Heart beating against their chest, butterflies wanting an escape, the desire to... 

       Taking the book from his hands ( but making sure to save his page ), they put it aside and reached for Satan’s shirt, gripping the fabric and looking into his eyes for one second longer before closing the distance between them. Their lips finally met his. The desire, the same one that had come up for them whenever they spent even a second with him. When the thought of Satan invaded their mind, that same desire showed up. The longing, the urge, the desire to kiss him. They wanted it more than anything but feared indulging in it and losing him. Fear always held them back. The thought of Satan finding them boring, repulsive, annoying, undesirable... It broke their heart. So, they held back and never confessed their true feelings. But now... They couldn’t help but show an ounce of what they felt through a simple kiss. Would it ruin what they had? Would Kaoru lose a dear friend? Would Satan hate them? They’d wait and see. 

       When they finally pulled away, their hand loosened and fell after smoothing out the part that had wrinkled thanks to their hold. It was difficult to look at him after that. Taking two steps back, they stopped and fiddled with the bottom of their skirt as they tried to find their voice. “ ...Uh, just wanted to say hi. So, hi. ”

       Kaoru really should learn to knock and to respect people’s privacy. Were they taught this important manner? Yes and they never crossed anyone’s boundaries ( minus their brother’s and a few friends ) but Satan wasn’t exactly at that level yet. Right? Well, never mind that. The purpose of them storming inside with papers in hand and a small whiteboard under their armpit was to introduce a few ideas that the exchange student had in mind. Recently, their new friend had agreed to spend a day with them which meant... Kaoru had to create a whole schedule and learn about the countless, fun activities in the Devildom. And so, they were rudely interrupting the other’s personal space and taking away precious time in order to present their findings. 

       “ Satan! I haven’t slept in a week because I’ve been plotting! ” They were also an insomniac but they would gloss over that fact. It’s not like they would have been sleeping anyways. “ Please, take a seat. Get comfortable. I need to present. ” A few papers were handed to the other with a long list of activities and different schedules that they carefully crafted. When they finally stopped moving around the space so much, they removed the whiteboard from under their arm and began writing down ( and doodling ) two options. “ After hours of research, I figured you’d enjoy these two ideas the most. I want you to have fun so... Give me your honest thoughts, okay? If you don’t like these choices, the list contains some other choices. Alright, what do you want to do? ”

       Kaoru was waiting to hear Choice A or Choice B but what came out of the demon’s mouth almost made them drop the item in their hand. Anywhere with you is everywhere I want to be. Heat traveled to their cheeks, giving them a little bit of color now. They opened their mouth slightly and closed it, not knowing what to say. The action of biting the inside of their cheek was a way to stop them from saying something stupid and embarrassing. Their heart beat a little faster and they couldn’t help but focus on it. 

       “ I- Well, hm... ” You look like a fool. Use your words. Think first, speak second. “ That’s not an option, Satan. ” Smooth. “ But, um, that’s helpful. I guess, we can go with the first choice but I guess it doesn’t matter too much. I’m just- ” Another second to bite on their tongue. A moment to think before acting. When they felt more confident, they moved a little closer to the other and put the whiteboard down on a nearby table before quickly placing a kiss on Satan’s cheek. A few steps were then taken back as they looked away, feeling so embarrassed by their own reaction, “ Let’s go with the first choice. I think you’d really like it. And, I’m really looking forward to spending the day with you. ”

       Would their heart be able to handle a whole day with someone who completely put a pause on their confidence and gave them butterflies? They’d wait to see.

       A study session! That’s what Kaoru planned for the day. Needing a little motivation, they asked Beel to be their partner for a couple of hours. With a big test coming up, they figured their friend could keep them focused. Sadly, it didn’t exactly work when they found themself focusing more on their company instead of their books. So, as a way to collect themself and to give themself a private lecture, they stepped away momentarily. Walking around the space, they stopped when they spotted a novel that caught their eye. Unable to reach it, they stood on their tip toes and when that failed, they moved onto jumping ( which proved to be quite embarrassing ). Their next move would have been finding a stool or stairs but as soon as the thought popped into their head, they were being lifted off of the ground. 

       When they looked down and spotted bright orange hair, they blushed. Kaoru silently hoped that Beel missed the embarrassing yelp that left them once they were lifted. The demon would surely be the death of them. Especially when he pointed out the way their heart raced. Well, what did one expect from them when their crush was picking them up and helping them reach a book? The way strong arms wrapped around them and held them so carefully. It made them melt which was incredibly mortifying ( if they really thought about it ). And they were thinking about it even more which made matters worse. Beel’s arms carrying them, holding them... Maybe it was best to stop there before the demon grew concerned. Their heart was definitely beating faster. 

       For a brief moment they worried about the other getting tired but when they realized that they probably weighed nothing to him, they relaxed. Still, it only took them a second to finally grab the book that they wanted and with the item in hand, they leaned down to tap his shoulder. “ Thank you for help, Beel. You can put me down now. ” The exchange student would have to hide their face from him once they were back on the ground. Bad enough that he recognized their heart speeding up, they didn’t want him pointing out the fact that they were blushing like mad. The downside of having a crush, they guessed.

♡     :     kissing them passionately, without any explanation.

➳     :     mark them on any part of their body (     specify which one     ).

       “ Satan? Oh fuck. Wait! Satan! Hold up! ” Their hands raised, right in front of them, as a way to keep the other away. Fear was present, easy to tell when they were backing away from him and their voice was laced with it. The exchange student checked the hallway, in hopes of seeing one of the other brothers so they could come to their rescue. But, it’s futile. He had them cornered. Back to the wall and when he leaned closer, they nervously laughed as they reached for his hair. “ Glitter looks good on you. ” The prank was meant for Mammon, not Satan. The second they found out that he was victim to their idiotic joke, they ran and hid. Not a smart move, obviously. 

       Or... Was it?

       All fear instantly faded away when his lips met theirs. Questions swirled around but were pushed aside once the hunger started. It wasn’t like their usual kisses. The soft, gentle ones that lasted for a brief second or two. From the moment that they touched, things felt electric between them. Not wanting anything to end, they reached for his shirt, making sure to hold on for dear life. Their way of letting him know not to move away any time soon. And maybe he wasn’t planning to because after growing a bit more confident, the Hitachiin slightly opened their mouth, allowing the other entrance. Kaoru had never kissed like that before and the excitement was enough to warm up their body. All heat slowly traveled down as the demon explored their mouth, tongues moving together. 

       Wanting more of him, they released his shirt and grabbed his hand, making sure to guide it to their thigh. It wasn’t a good idea to get so hot and bothered in the middle of the night, in such a public area, but they couldn’t help themself. Kaoru wanted him even more. But, before contact could be made, the kiss was broken. Their lips remained parted for a few seconds as he pulled away. Chest rising quickly and pierced tongue still visible. After wiping their mouth clean of any saliva, they moved closer, only to move backwards once again. 

       “ Satan? ” Their breath hitched when lips were on their neck. While he was gentle at first, it was still enough to make them wince a few times. Seeing as the marks from times before hadn’t completely healed yet. One wouldn’t hear complaints from them though. Kaoru was always happy to welcome more. “ Mm, Satan? ” The way he balanced kisses, nips, and hard bites made their problem worse. The desire to move things to his room or theirs was strong but the thought of moving upset them. Whatever was going on, they never wanted it to end. Even when sharp canines bit down hard enough to make them gasp and completely melt. “ Fuck... ” Taking a hold of him again, they couldn’t help the sounds of pleasure leaving their mouth as he continued marking them even more. Hands moved to tangle in blond locks as they tilted their head to one side, allowing more room. “ Satan? Can we go? Please? Take me to your room? ”

       And with that final word... He pulled away. Their eyes followed him carefully as he stood up straight again. Feeling embarrassed over getting so excited, they pulled down their skirt a bit and tried covering themself with both hands. The human tried reading the other as they stood in silence and waited for him to do something ( they were hoping he’d throw them over his shoulder and take them to his room ), but when that didn’t happen... They groaned. “ Satan? Hello? Are you- ” And then it hit them. “ Wait. Wait! ” The presence of a smile was confirmation for them and when the other turned away, Kaoru glared at his back. “ What the hell?! Satan?! Don’t- You can’t do that! ”

[selflesstwin]

“ everyone has secrets, don’t they? i’m sure you’ll tell me yours when you’re ready. ”

𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘴. | @wrathbound

       The shift in their conversation made them feel uncomfortable. To go from discussing something so minor and silly to a topic that they did not want to engage in. For a split second, they were tempted to reveal the reason for why they asked such questions. Is it possible to acquire important items from the human world in the Devildom? Could they possibly go to the human world to grab essential items? Would Diavolo and Lucifer permit it? Yeah, anyone would have inquiries after hearing all of that. Maybe they should have asked someone else instead of the one demon that they were falling for crushing on. If he knew... Would he change his mind about them? Whatever the hell they were?

       “ You sound so confident. ” Kaoru stopped pacing around and fiddling with the small toy in their hands in order to look at the other. The item was tossed in the air for a few seconds before they moved towards Satan, with a determined look in their eyes. They wanted to change the subject, to move onto something else, to wrap up what came up. So, after letting the toy fall from their hand onto the already messy floor, they carefully sat themself down on his lap. Arms moved to wrap themselves around his neck and even though they were completely flustered, they still met his gaze. “ I don’t have any secrets. Nothing important, anyways. Just a lot of secrets that I learned from snooping around in the human world. I only asked those things because I wanna retrieve some things from my home. That’s all. ” Amber eyes locked onto green ones before they slowly moved down to stare at his lips. “ Y’know, you’ve been in my room for a few minutes now and we haven’t kissed once. We should really change that. What do you think? ” It’s not like they’d wait for a response. Their change in behavior was necessary. Satan had to forget the previous conversation. And so, they moved one of the demon’s hands to their bare leg ( many thanks to skirts ) and leaned in to kiss the other.

       Kaoru liked Satan, a lot, but he couldn’t find out about their struggles. It’s not that they were embarrassed or ashamed but worried that he would view them differently. The fact that their happy-go-lucky behavior was all an act. He seemed to like that they were so positive, so full of energy, such a bubbly person. What if he hated what they really were? Would he pity them if he knew that in the human world... They relied on therapy and medication to help with issues like depression and anxiety? What would he think? Kaoru was lying to him. If he even got a glimpse of the real side... Would he end things between them? Kaoru had to keep up the performance. They couldn’t be a burden. They couldn’t lose Satan.

       Their eyes would move from their sketchpad to the demon resting peacefully in their bed. Eyes lingered on him for a minute or two before they resumed their new piece of art for about ten minutes. Kaoru was restless but when it came down to creating something with their hands, they were always focused. Yet, they found it incredibly challenging to stay motivated while Mammon slept peacefully beside them. Was it love infatuation? The desire to spend hours upon hours with their partner? Were they partners? Did they ever have that conversation? Would it be ridiculous to ask that after they had spent so much time together? Kissing, holding hands, letting him embrace them, and now... Spending the nights together. Well, no matter. Instead of analyzing everything and worrying about whether Mammon truly loved liked them, they would enjoy their time together. 

       The restlessness eventually showed up and for once, they were bored of designing. After closing the sketchbook and putting it aside, Kaoru laid back down and stared at the other for a few more seconds before inching closer. With arms and their chin resting on Mammon’s chest, they did their best to contain all the energy inside their body. It was so tempting to shake him away, to ask for attention, to annoy him but they held back. Instead, one hand traveled from his chest, to his neck where fingers carefully brushed soft skin, and when they finally moved towards his face... Their hand rested there. Gentle touches for a few more seconds before they finally said something aloud, “ Mammon. Wake up. It’s almost breakfast time. We should get ready for the day. ”

       When no answer was given, Kaoru sighed and moved their other hand to his other cheek. “ I don’t want to be late for class. Come on. It’s time to get up. ” But when pleas went ignored, they changed their initial plan. Moving their hands away, they rested them back on the other’s chest and proceeded to push themself back up. More time was spent looking at Mammon before they climbed over him, straddled him, and leaned down to press a kiss on the demon’s lips. They should have cut it short, given him no time to fully wake up and kiss back... But, Kaoru was weak. They wanted to feel his lips on theirs, hours ago. And now that they were getting what they wanted, they refused to let it end so soon. But, when they finally broke the kiss, they remained on top of him, their cheeks turning slightly red. In a whisper, they spoke once more, “ Wake up. I want a few minutes with you before class. ”

[selflesstwin]

“  come here.  i’m taking care of you tonight.  and you’re gonna let me.  ” <3

SOFT(ish) ANGST PROMPTS | @wrathbound

       You go missing for three days and everyone freaks out. Well, not exactly missing. The brothers should have known that the exchange student was in their bedroom. After all, some of them would leave breakfast, lunch, and dinner for them right outside their door. Most of it went untouched ( not on purpose, they simply forgot ) and that probably worried them even more. It’s not that they were trying to scare anyone, it’s just that they were an absolute wreck. The holidays were coming up, they were missing their siblings and friends, their insomnia was kicking their ass, and since they couldn’t sleep... Well, they used their time to make presents for everyone.

       But, all that hard work was interrupted when someone finally managed to get into their room. Kaoru didn’t bother to look, already knowing who the visitor was. Sooner or later, someone would break in and it was no surprise that it was him. Maybe they should have answered his calls and messages instead of ignoring. 

       “ Hm? ” Moving away from a mannequin which held a somewhat completed look ( for Mammon ), they finally glanced over at one of the brothers. Kaoru cursed ( internally ) when eyes fell on him. That commanding tone with those looks... It only made them weak. But! They wouldn’t cave! No! Satan would not win, for once. They were determined to continue their work even if they were fighting hunger and the massive headache that came from sleep deprivation and the lack of nutrients. Maybe they should eat though. “ I’m busy and I don’t need you taking care of me. I can take care of myself. ” Wrong. “ So, you can leave my dinner on my desk and scurry off to bed, Satan. ” Really putting their foot down and probably failing. They usually did when it came down to him. “ ...Please? ”

[selflesstwin]

"I believe we made a bet." The taste of the demonus sticks to his tongue, cloying and potent, and it takes all of his focus to speak without slurring, drunk as he is after imbibing several cups. "...And you win, I can't drink anymore unless I want to make an utter fool of myself. So, what would you like? Ask anything of me." After all, he's not in the habit of going back on his word, honor-bound, and Satan laughs, low and rich, at nothing in particular. Blame it on the alcohol, or perhaps, better yet, he should blame it on his current company — their presence intoxicating in an entirely different manner.

/ @wrathbound

       Ah, yes. A victory. One that didn’t feel well-deserved. After all, demonus didn’t affect humans. If anything, Kaoru simply earned themself a stomach ache and an annoying case of hiccups. But, they didn’t regret agreeing to going out and drinking with their company. The sight was a pleasant one. A powerful and fearsome demon, drinking enough to turn him into such a delight. Oh. They won but it definitely felt like cheating. 

       The exchange student was ready to turn down the reward, feeling wrong about winning at such an easy challenge, until the words utter fool slipped out of his mouth. It awakened the mischievous energy they locked away the second they stumbled into the Devildom. It was better to remain well-behaved for their own safety but now... Well, Satan ruined all their hard work. Such sweet eyes shined with trouble. Oh no. 

       “ You’re awfully cute right now, Satan. ” Their fingers anxiously tapped on the cup sitting right in front of them. The words would have to wait, timed perfectly so the damn hiccups wouldn’t ruin their delivery. “ We should make you even cuter! ” Hiccup, hiccup, hiccup. Damn, their stomach was killing them. “ I want you to be my servant. For a day. ” It would be best to end it there. To not push any buttons. Sadly, there was more to it. “ I’m sorry. Allow me to correct myself. I want you to be my maid for a whole day. You have to follow me around, take my orders, refer to me as Master Kaoru, and just be a very good boy. How’s that sound? ” Pushing through the pain, they managed to look at the other, all while wearing the sweetest smile. “ That’s all. ”

“ i can’t lose you… ” ( mammon )

𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘴. ( NOT ACCEPTING ) | @xamassed

       Their rambling is put on pause when another voice speaks up. His words were heart-wrenching. The logical side showed up first with the reminder that Mammon would eventually lose them someday. After all, they were human. A shame that they couldn’t live forever. Anyways, he wouldn’t want them to live forever with him. That would be a nightmare for him, right? Not that it mattered in the moment. The technicalities and their insecurities had to be pushed aside so they could properly address what was said aloud. 

       Kaoru is quick to get out of their seat and to approach the other. Boundaries were important but they didn’t exactly matter when they were trying to comfort the one they were falling for. Their hands were placed on Mammon’s knees as a way to steady themself as they leaned down to meet his gaze. Staring at him so intensely, they wondered what the pesky thoughts were telling him. It seemed that the Hitachiin was interested in someone who struggled with insecurity as well, maybe low self-esteem? If so, they were ready to combat whatever the hell happened inside that head of his. “ Who said anything about losing me, huh? Do you mean losing me like I’m going to eventually leave the Devildom? Or, I’m going to break things off with you? Because... ” Pushing themself up, they moved their hands to his shoulders as they settled onto his lap ( basically straddling him ). From one area to another, their hands now carefully held Mammon’s face, making sure he was looking at them. Kaoru had to get through to him. 

       “ If those are your concerns, let me respond to them now. When I leave the Devildom, it’s not the end of us. I’m kind of expecting you to visit me and to steal me away from the human world sometimes. If Lucifer gets upset with you, I will take the blame. ” Hell, they’d take the punishment. It bothered them that Mammon constantly received horrible punishments for misbehaving. It seemed cruel and it was upsetting but... They’d table that topic for another day, too. “ I will happily accept whatever the hell Lucifer throws my way because I’m willing to face anything and everything to be with you. Which means, I’m not planning on breaking things off. Ever. It’s not in my future plans. ” As they squished his face, they moved his head around a little and laughed quietly, “ But feel free to end things, yeah? You’re not trapped with me. You have the freedom to call it quits and find yourself another human. Shouldn’t be tough for you. I mean... Look at you. ” 

       Their hold softened once more as they leaned in to kiss him. As the contact lasted, their hands fell from his face and rested on his chest instead, making sure to grip the fabric of his shirt. When they felt faint from the lack of oxygen going to their brain, they finally broke the kiss. A pout visible on their face, wishing they could continue but knowing how important it was to continue reassuring him that things were fine. “ Mammon, sweetheart, love, darling... ” The disappointed looked vanished and was replaced with softer, more loving features. “ I promise you that you won’t lose me. Mammon... ” Emotions were high. Turbulent. Changing so quickly. The smile fell slightly as something popped into their head. Voice a little more serious as the next words were spoken...

       “ What if we made a pact? ”

       Shit! They fucked up. A minor slip-up. No one was supposed to know. Months had passed and no one ever noticed. Kaoru made sure of that. Always determined to wear a smile and act so bubbly on the outside. Making friends, engaging in conversation, participating in classes and at events, hardly spending any time alone. On the go, super busy, acting as if things were totally fine in their world. But someone caught on. 

       “ Beel! I didn’t see you there. When did you come in? ” After pulling on their sleeves, they used one to wipe away the few tears that rolled down their cheeks. “ Oh! Wait! You won’t get sick, right? I think I’m getting sick. I went into a coughing fit before you came in and that’s why I look like such a mess. Weak immune system. ” They rolled their eyes as they wiped a few more tears away, trying their best to sell the pathetic lie. One that the demon was clearly not buying. Still, they did their best to act as if things were okay. Their mask would not fall. It may have cracked but they were determined to keep their reputation. The human who seemed so happy to be in the Devildom. Who loved making friends with demons. Who adjusted so well to everything. They radiated joy, they made others laugh, they were engaged. So put together, so confident, so damn happy. And yet, Beel was not moved by their acting. Not convinced. So, Kaoru put on the biggest smile and prepared their next lines but nothing came out. He beat them to it. His line: I’m here. 

       The mask cracked once, twice and then... It broke. Their eyes welled up with tears as their mouth slightly fell open. Their perfectly crafted lines had vanished. They were done performing. Beel saw through them. How pathetic of them. “ I don’t deserve your kindness. ” It was rude of them to reject him but they couldn’t accept that. Not when they felt so horrible. “ Because I’m jealous of you, Beel. I’m jealous of you and Belphie. I like you both so much but it’s so hard being around you. It hurts. ” What ugly feelings. They were terrible. The worst person. “ I see you together and it makes me miss my brother. I miss Hikaru. I miss him so much. ” You’re selfish. Stop making this about you. “ I’m so sorry, Beel. I’m sorry for being so... For everything. I don’t deserve your kindness right now. I’m fine. I’m okay. I’ll get through this on my own. ” I’m used to getting through everything on my own. “ You’re so sweet. I’m sorry for showing this side of myself to you. You really are the sweetest friend. I’m really, truly sorry for... Saying all of that. ”

       More tears were wiped away and when they finally found the courage to look at their friend, they did their best to not break down. How could they say that to him? Seeing him with Belphie, seeing him so happy... Kaoru wanted to see that smile all the time. He deserved it. Beel deserved nothing but good things. They should have kept their mouth closed. “ I hope you can forgive me for this. ”

       “ A favorite brother? I think they’re all pretty cool and really kind. ”
