#ANYWAYS i just always thought about that ever since solomon asked the mc to help him defend humans

[gifti3]

If solomon asked me to be a defender of humanity, i dont think i could look him in the eye and say yes

"close your mouth, you're staring again!"

you hmmph, turning to anne sallow who giggles before stuffing her mouth again. you both sit in the great hall, waiting for sebastian and ominis to arrive.

"i wasn't staring," you retort, "i was just relieved that they finally arrived. i thought seb was going to make them late for breakfast again."

the boys finally make their way towards you, sebastian seating himself beside his sister and ominis finding his way by your side. you don't miss the smirk anne gives you behind her goblet when you turn red, blushing profusely. "he very nearly did," ominis sighs, although there was no venom in his voice, "it turns out that it was a good idea to send you both to the great hall early instead of leaving you to starve waiting for him in the common room."

you watch him fiddle with his hands, fingers digging into his palms to massage them. oh, you wonder what his hands must feel like.

"well, i don't hear you complaining," sebastian starts to argue, but stops himself, "actually no, you complained about it all this time, wallowing about making y/n wait."

you almost spit out your drink, but mask it as a cough behind your goblet. the idea of ominis complaining that he doesn't want to make you wait surprises you. you subtly turn your head to look at ominis' face, but like always, you cannot gauge his expression, his face blank.

"anyway," anne inhales, excited to change the subject, "any shops you're excited to go to at hogsmeade?"

it's a hogsmeade weekend, and anne is excited to go to visit shops in the neighbouring village. her brother chatters about going to the owl post to send a letter to his uncle solomon about a book he had forgotten.

ominis, as always, is quiet. he prefers to listen, but ever since getting to know you and the sallow twins, he also does not hesitate to chime in here and there. despite his quiet disposition, you certainly think he's become more engaged with sebastian and anne, now offering his opinions, sassing the sallow boy, and speaking his own mind.

you also started to notice how it's almost the opposite for you.

not that he has started ignoring you, no, not like that. recently, he just seems...reserved. when talking to you, he prefers to speak in a lowered voice, almost whispering. he would nudge you with his shoulder before leaning his face in your direction, asking if you stayed up late to finish your transfiguration homework, or if you dread the next potion class with professor sharp. you also remember how stupid you looked one time when you were certain that ominis gave a little chuckle, before asking, "remember how you gushed about that niffler in our beasts class but the little devil actually emptied sebastian's pockets of all the galleons?" like he was trying to make you laugh. when anne wasn't around, he would find you in the common room, helping you tell stories to other students about seeing merpeople in the water, the two of you smiling when the students would wait there for hours for any sign of merpeople swimming about.

oh, and it certainly didn't help that anne knew of your...infatuation with the gaunt boy.

you're not really certain when anne first noticed. you're not even sure when you first noticed it yourself. but you and anne are best friends, "we're sisters!" she'd say, "i know you like the back of my twin brother's own hand!"

her face was both mischievous and sincere when she told you, "y/n, you fancy ominis!"

-

after finishing up in potions, almost as though ominis can see the frown on your lips, he turns to you, "is something wrong?"

you purse your lips, trying to ignore how your heart flutters as you watch him tilt his head in curiosity, and shake your head, "no, it's just...we don't have enough mongrel fur to brew an edurus potion for next class."

ominis hums as he nods, "that shouldn't be a problem, y/n," he reassures you. he fiddles with his hands habitually, and you almost feel bad for taking advantage of his blindness to look at him like he hung the moon. "we can pick those up at j pippin's potions this weekend."

you thought about asking him to hold your hand before, whenever you four were up to no good, sneaking around the palace. you wonder if he would have let you.

"we really should learn that spell to clean up our potions station," anne sighs, "every time garreth brews something, he blows things up instead."

"and it's always us who end up getting splashed," sebastian bemoans.

-

"well, don't you look charming."

you roll your eyes as you watch anne grinning at you through the mirror.

"i look the same as i always was," you tell her.

"hm-mm," she hums at you unconvincingly, "if you only ominis could see you now, am i right?"

"anne!" you cajole her, turning beet red, "stop saying stuff like that!"

"what?" she raises her hands in defense, "i'm just saying you look beautiful, and if i didn't know any better i'd say you were going on a date!"

you ignore her, as well as the butterflies in your stomach at the thought of being on a hogsmeade date with ominis. you heard about couples who go to hogsmeade for dates, going to honeydukes for sweets, steepley and sons for tea and other confectionaries, and snogging in alleyways. but this is not a hogsmeade date, this is just the four of you going to hogsmeade to buy as many candies as you can afford at honeydukes.

turning to your best friend, you frown, "well, what about you? don't tell me you're going to hogsmeade wearing your night clothes!"

anne blinks at you slowly before she shrugs, "i'm not going to hogsmeade unfortunately."

you double take, turning to her in shock, "what do you mean? you were all excited about going to hogsmeade!" she laughs as you gape at her.

"yes, i was excited about it, but i got detention. remember? the duelling?"

you close your eyes in resignation, flashbacks of what happened a few days ago brought you back to when anne and imelda were rough-housing each other and ended up whisking their wands in the hallway--which was not allowed. duelling was only allowed during classes (and in crossed wands duelling club, which you were certain by now was not as inconspicuous as lucan and sebastian insisted).

-

disappointed by the lack of anne on your trip to hogsmeade, you exit the castle and expected to find the boys hanging out by the fountain. many students are situated there today, enjoying the heat of the sun, while droves are also walking to hogsmeade, and some took the opportunity to play quidditch (you can hear imelda reyes all the way from the quidditch pitch). to your surprise, however, the sallow boy was not there to greet you and complain about anne missing hogsmeade weekend, only--

"ominis?"

you were almost certain he could see you, from the way he stood up from the stone bench even before you finished crossing the lawn to greet him. he is expecting you, you gather, but how does he know that you were walking towards him?

"i didn't wait long, if that's what you're concerned about," he starts, the edges of his lips quirking upwards as he fiddles with his hands again. you look at his hands, then his face, trying to admire it like it was the first time you've seen it.

"and-"

"sebastian had detention," he cuts you off, but not in an unpolite manner. you take the time to admire how carefree, relaxed, and comfortable he looks outside of his uniform, "he got caught trying to sneak into the restricted section again."

your pace was slow and relaxed as you stroll outside the castle grounds. lots of students walk the path going to and from hogsmeade, the sounds of laughter in the air. you try to tell your heart not to do backflips at the absence of ominis' wand in his hand, trusting you enough to guide his way.

"what was he doing there this time?"

"i think he was trying to get back at peeves for locking him in the bathroom the other night."

at the sound of your laugh, ominis smiles.

-

you think of three different times when you were sure you realized how much you cared for ominis.

it could have been in your first year, when you sat next to him in charms and he would lose (let you win) summoner's court every single time even though you know that he was good at it (you saw him play against sebastian and leander and won). when you confronted him about it, there was an almost smirk in his otherwise blank face, "i like that whooping sound you make when you win."

it could have been when he told you and the sallows, whom he now call his friends, about his past, his family, and his resentment towards them and the dark arts. you didn't think any less of him and you don't now, and you don't think you ever will, but the look on his face seemed like the world was lifted off his shoulders. he began to smile more, make jokes, pass you some confectionaries and tea while you wait for your next class.

or it could have been that day in hogsmeade-

-

your hands kept brushing against each other.

you want to blame it on the other students-hogsmeade is too crowded!-making you squeeze through people and making sure that ominis is alright. you didn't want to break off the distance between you two (just to make sure he's alright, of course, nothing else). you two are now walking so close together that you can feel his body heat emanating, and you can smell him up close, and you mutter a quick thanks that he cannot see you because of how red you've become.

ominis let you drag him to j pippin's potions to buy those potions supplies--you tell him you can go there last, but he insists, "it's better to get it out of the way now to leave us free time to visit other shops."

leave us free time to visit other shops. yes, right, you have to focus.

the first time your hand brushed his you recoiled in surprise, hurriedly apologizing. you know that some people value their personal spaces, and it's bad enough that you're almost bumping shoulders with him because of the density of students in the village, you didn't want him to think you are also invading his own bubble.

he chuckles at your apology, but says nothing.

-

you bring him to tomes and scrolls next, and lets you toddle here and there looking for books to read. you didn't tell him what you were looking for anything in particular, so it surprises ominis when you skip over in front of him (he can almost hear the giddiness in your footsteps).

"did you find a book you want?"

grinning, you nod, "yes, finally! i had to order this, had to wait weeks! good thing it arrived just when we came here."

ominis feels the package being softly pushed against his chest, you standing in front of him almost expectantly, "what?"

"it's for you," you swallow, "i couldn't get you anything on your birthday, but here it is. belated happy birthday!"

you hold your breath as you watch him process what you said, afraid that he'll refuse it. it had been a special order that you had to wait weeks to get, hence why his gift is a bit delayed. you watch his face, the beauty marks on his forehead, his mouth opening (you hope it's not a refusal of your gift), and you realize that ominis is gaping. he is shocked.

"for me?" he asks, chuckling in disbelief. he finally raises his hands to hold it, fingers grazing against yours ever so softly, but you don't flinch this time, nor do you apologize.

patiently waiting as he runs his fingers on the cover of the book, you wait until he finishes reading it.

"bestiarum magicum?"

you nod, grinning proudly, "in braille! it's one of my favourite books, and this version goes in-depth with descriptions of the magical creatures," when he says nothing, you continue, "you seem to like it when i read it aloud so i thought..."

ominis clears his throat, feeling it becoming tighter. you ordered a braille version of your favourite book, the one he would ask you to read because you enjoy it so much and he enjoys listening to you. "i...thank you," he whispers, now giving you a shy grin, one that makes you blush, "i look forward to reading it."

-

the third time you realized just how much you cared could have been the time you two finally decide to go to the three broomsticks, hungry and eager to rest your feet. the alley is crowded again, and you try to make sure no one bumps into you or ominis, who now carries the book under his arm.

your fingers graze again.

you jolt, moving your hand out of the way and turn to him to apologize, but his head was turned your way, tilted in that same way he does whenever he's curious, and there is a smile on his face.

before you can open your mouth to apologize, you feel it again.

first, the heat.

then his skin.

his fingers touch yours slowly, as if asking for permission.

if ominis can see you, he would see your eyes wide in shock, surprise, cheeks tinted red.

finally, his fingers tangle with you, and his face turns forward, the smile never leaving his face.

he squeezes your hand gently, like saying "is this okay?"

you squeeze back, and shift closer to him that your shoulders touch. "yes, it's okay."

-

inside the three broomsticks, sirona greets you two. "hello kids, go upstairs, there's people waiting for you, i'll bring the butterbeers right up."

you and ominis are both confused, but his hand doesn't leave yours as you guide him up the stairs.

in one of the tables sat the twins, mischievous and victorious smiles on their faces.

An Unsightly Guy | React | Spoilers

GIVE IT UP FOR DAY SIX

So for today's dose of Sitri and Amy shenanigan's I have like two huge things to talk about here and I'm wondering what it means and if it will ever get addressed which I don't think it will given how this always seems to happen....

But let's get to it...

So Sitri has healed for the most part and was told some pretty bad news. I'd like to know who this subordinate is, I'm sure it's some NPC though that we probably won't ever interact with but I'm nosey lol

Ooooo Selaphiel mention, I know he be causin' problems because he looks like he would...if anyone needs a reminder of who that is btw

Selaphiel for your viewing pleasure. Though I'm sure we won't get to see him in this event, it sounds like he did his thing and left.

Sitri though is really upset by this news, he feels it was his fault that he wasn't strong enough and would have been able to help if he wasn't injured so badly...

Her? Her?

I have a thousand questions.

My first thought is, maybe his subordinate is a lady devil, which I don't think Gehenna nor hell is discriminatory when it comes to those being in the armies against angels.

But let's say it's not the subordinate??? But who is hell is he referring to??

HOLD AWN

He slapped himself to snap himself out of his anger, the subordinate here asks if he's okay and he responds with this??? Saying it's a useless thing for him to be upset about???????

W H O I S S H E SI T R I

Because I know he's not talking about MC/Us as we haven't met yet. He can't really mean Lilith or Solomon...I don't think he's met him yet and Lilith was doing her own thing.

I'd like to think this was either a close friend or a "sister". Clearly this is someone who works with him and is under his command but what happened long ago? WHO HURT YOU SITRI?

Anyways we continue....

So we're trecking or more so fucking running in the forest with Sitri and his company to find his subordinates and at first he didn't hear anything, and suddenly a bunch of heart beats all at once, it appears that his comrades are alive!

And it's confirmed that they are, badly bruised and torn up but they are alive none the less. So it appears that as I suspected, no Selaphiel or grand "GOTCHA" moment from the angels, they did what they did and left.

But...

Ah so that's who saved them! Here comes Amy and his crew to help out. It sounds like that mishap really got to him and he decided to be better and be proactive.

Lol even with his comrades alive and well Sitri is still on that petty energy. Which I mean...since he just healed and all it's probably fresh on his mind every time he's near or even hears Amy's name.

Guy is stuck under some debris though lol and I think it's cute that his was the first heartbeat he heard despite being his number one hater. Like come on you two...be foreal lol

And that was the end of today though...noting substantial. What I love and hate about the day by day event format is that some of the parts are really slow and boring but at the same time well it's something to look forward to each day instead of finishing out the event and being bored for the entire month or two weeks it's open for.

But my big things for today on this part was

-who the frick frack is Sitri referring to when he said "her"

-what happened long ago that made him so out of his mind and depressed??? did it involve whoever it is he's speaking of?

UGH I know they won't go over this because it's not the focus but don't give me breadcrumbs and not expect to want the entire loaf omg

Forgetful MC Part 2

Okay here is part two of an MC who is forgetful, this time with the side boys! Not including the three newbies, as I haven’t met them yet. Luke’s part is strictly platonic, of course, though these are generally not romantic anyway.

GN!MC

Warnings: MC is forgetful. Since this is based on things I personally struggle with, there may be some ADHD symptoms in there, too, as I have that as well. Please let me know if I should add anything else here!

Diavolo

Hears from Lucifer that you are a bit forgetful and absentminded. Finds it completely adorable. Thinks this is a cute human trait that you have.

Turns out that Diavolo understands your struggle. Forgetfulness solidarity. What would he do without Barbatos to keep him on track?

He actually gets excited if you’ve forgotten something he told you about because now he gets to tell you all about it AGAIN! You’re adorable, MC.

If he puts you in charge of some event, as he is known to do, he will write you little lists of things you need to remember relating to said event. Writes them all by hand and delivers them to you in person. If you misplace them, he has extra copies.

Barbatos

Everyone knows this guy is the exact opposite of forgetful, so when it’s brought to his attention that you struggle with remembering certain things, he is on it.

Reads your mind. Even if your mind is blank. If you’re sitting there, trying to remember where you put something or if there was something you needed to do, he will be able to tell you exactly what it is. How does he do that? We don’t know, he’s a butler that can time travel.

Makes you a special tea blend with herbs that are known to improve memory issues. Since he knows you forget to drink it, Barbatos makes it for you pretty regularly. Trust him on this, MC. A good tea blend can fix all kinds of things.

Loves to bake with you, but keeps an eye on what you’re doing so you don’t forget important steps. Gently redirects you to the correct thing if you’re about to mess up because you forgot something.

Simeon

Upon learning of your forgetful tendencies, Simeon is very thoughtful about helping you out with it. Doesn’t ask you outright if you’ve forgotten something. Instead, he drops little suggestions and hints until you remember whatever it is on your own.

Similarly, he’ll ask you a question about something he suspects you’ve forgotten, acting like he’s the one who can’t remember. This gives you the opportunity to pretend that you didn’t forget at all, even though both of you know the truth.

Simeon also loves to cook with you. He will do every step with you, reading each thing out loud from the recipe as you go to prevent you from forgetting things.

Always notices if you’re struggling with something due to your forgetfulness. Always helps you out in a subtle, gentle way to help you avoid embarrassment. Don’t worry, MC. He’s here for you.

Solomon

Probably makes fun of you for your absentmindedness in a lighthearted way. After you fail spectacularly at a spell due to forgetting the words, it becomes an inside joke with you two.

Understands that you have a slightly different learning style. When you become his apprentice, he figures out exactly what he needs to do to make sure you succeed. He won’t let you flounder, MC.

Actually comes up with systems that really help you, not just with learning magic, but with every day life, too. If something stops working, he’ll take the time to work out something new with you. Can’t go wrong with a genius wizard grandpa on your side.

If you ever tell him that you’re embarrassed about your forgetfulness, Solomon will reassure you. He will remind you of all the things you’ve accomplished. He will tell you how proud of you he is.

Luke

Follows Simeon’s example when it comes to dealing with your forgetfulness and tries to be subtle about it, but he’s not quite as good at it as Simeon is. You appreciate the effort, especially considering how adorable he is when he does it.

This precious boy is always baking you things. But of course you have a tendency to leave things behind. So if he’s got some baking for you to take back to the House of Lamentation with you, he waits until the last possible second to give it to you, so the chances of you leaving it behind are slim. You absolutely have to try these new macarons, MC! No leaving them behind!

Holds your hand whenever you go anywhere together because he doesn’t want you to get lost. You don’t have the heart to tell him that it’s only when you go somewhere new, so you just let him lead you around.

Probably gives you extra blessings if he’s worried about your absentmindedness causing you trouble. Luke can’t help but worry about you.

A Love for Another

a/n: ok I’m done writing fluff it’s back to angst now haha. anyway sorry for the small hiatus from writing i’ve been so sick, but you can expect the next chapter of a humans wrath tomorrow/ today (it’s like the middle of the night where i am and i can’t sleep lmao)

anyway i had to indulge myself a bit with this because of the new nightbringer lesson so here’s some solomon angst. enjoy!

warnings: potential nightbringer spoilers

“I can never get you to look at me the way you look at them”

Life was like a bliss for Solomon now.

He was so excited to live with you. Especially since he liked the idea of you coming home to see him, as well as having dinner with you every night. Shopping and gossiping with you was just as exhilarating for him as he thought. And cleaning with you was just as fun.

Finally; he could finally have you all to himself without the demon brothers interfering

But it was only for a while.

He never had your full attention anymore, it was always somewhere else, and he knew exactly where and who it was focused on.

No matter what he did, no matter how nice he was, or even if he protected you, it was never enough.

You still went back to them.

You still tried, even though it hurt, and Solomon knew just how badly they hurt you. You promised things they didn’t even understand the severity of. You vowed your life to them without a second thought, nothing would stop you from getting closer to them. You were determined to get back to the life you knew with the demons you so desperately loved.

You would even go so far as to put them above humanity itself; did it ever occur to you the severity of a choice such as that?

All of humanity. You, a human, would side with demons if it came down to choosing sides. Maybe he was a tad too overconfident in your feelings towards him and humanity. He could say he never suspected you to do such a thing, but with how close you and the brothers were in the present he now realized that he should have been more cautious.

When it came to the demon brothers, your sense of reason and duty was thrown out the window, instead you would always choose to be stubborn and do what you thought would be best for them.

You put your life on the line for these demons countless times over and over. You did so in the present, which resulted in threats against your life multiple times, and you’re doing so in the past. What do you hope to gain from doing that? Solomon couldn’t possibly understand.

They didn’t even know you MC, he did.

He knew everything about you. Your favorite food, favorite color, your favorite song, your dreams, your ambitions, everything. Whenever you explained something about yourself he found himself intently listening with every fiber of his being.

Why? Simple really.

Solomon was hopelessly in love with you from the beginning.

But he never had a chance to act on his feelings, because he always felt as if he belonged in the background while all the brothers stole your attention. Of course he hung out with you on multiple occasions but they never let him get too close, in fear of losing your attention to the witty sorcerer.

But what didn’t help was the fact you didn’t seem to mind them taking your attention either. You always found your way back to the seven of them whether you meant to or not. Lastly the most unpleasant thing was the fact that half of the brothers were already starting to develop feelings for you.

It was way too soon for that.

He saw the way Mammon would stutter over his words or how bright red his face became when you smiled at him. Or the way Levi would now unconsciously look for you to drag off to his room so you could spend time with him. And the way Asmo became more open and comfortable with you, to the point where he would always have to be touching you. Or even the way Lucifer now looked at you, or especially when he would flat out ask for your help and no one else’s.

It tore him apart inside because this was finally his chance to have you all to himself without any distractions. Even with the brothers now developing feelings for you again they weren’t the biggest obstacle he had to overcome.

The biggest obstacle he was currently facing was you.

You were the only thing standing in his way of trying to take that step forward with you.

Of course he’d never do anything without your consent so he waited. Hoped, and even thought about praying to someone, anyone that maybe you felt the same as he did.

He even believed you did for a while when you opened up to him more after the two of you started living together. However that dream was soon shattered when he saw the way you gazed at them the more they spoke to you.

A gaze so full of admiration and longing, but also one of pure and utter love. A gaze so utterly beautiful and full of emotion that could even shake the three realms. It reminded him of something you said to him recently about the brothers.

“No matter how many times I meet them, I will always fall in love with them.” You said to him, with an expression so full of pure determination.

It caused him to wonder did he look at you like that?

No, no gaze of that magnitude could even come close to the way you looked at the demon brothers.

He wished that were him, but he knows that deep down that he’ll never be on the receiving end of that gaze. So even in the past he feels like an outsider. But sometimes that’s just the way things are meant to be.

Maybe he was never destined to be with you, or you were just never destined to feel that way about him. No matter the cause, you were already wholeheartedly in love with the brothers, and he had to come to accept that.

It’s all right in the end, because he’s come to believe that staying by your side will be enough for him.

Even when it doesn’t feel like enough, he’ll deal with it.

As long as you're happy, so is he. So he can bury these feelings of jealousy and desperation if you’re content with falling in love with the brothers all over again.

However his love for you will never falter, you could even say it’s one that could possibly transcend time itself.

Obey me MC timetravels to when Solomon was still ruling King Solomon.

(: AFAB MC although it can be read as Gender neutral for now? I will change this if ever. I have always tried to stick to gender neutral pronouns for MC so If I slip up I'm sorry and kindly tell me. Part 1 probably and will be very short. I just need to gather my thoughts maybe make an outline Uh as much as I would like to make this more inclusive the MC here grew up in a religious household as it is needed for the plot.... so sorry. NB spoiler free yay. Also sorry for the wrong grammar and the typos. I did this on my phone :)

Time travel is not something new to MC. In fact they have already done so multiples times. This however comes as a surprise as instead of anywhere in the devildom. They seem to be in an unfamiliar land instead. somewhere ancient. MC couldn't explain it however the description seems to fit.

Determined to at least find a general location of where they were. Walking along the road near the river which should lead to somewhere with people right? At the very least they hope it will. It wasn't long before they were stopped by a kind lady who looks concerned about MC's modern clothing.

"Oh poor dear! Have you been attacked by bandits on the way here?" MC looks confused but before they were able to refute the old lady's claims they were drag to the home of the lady. "No need to worry I will help you" The old lady assured them before they are able to speak a word. Privately however they thank whatever has put them there that they can understand the language that the lady speaks. Must be some kind of magic or atleast a way to appease them on whatever this is and why does this always happen to them anyways... Waking up in unfamiliar places.

MC was made to sit down as the old lady went to another room. This time carrying a bunch of clothing that MC only has ever seen worn during things such as historical plays or those Movies about the stories from the bible that plays every month of March back where they grew up. As popularized by the holy week. Not wanting to offend the kindness of the stranger they gratefully accepted the clothing. As they were ushered to an empty room to change into the clothes. They suppose it was a good thing so that they can blend in even better while thinking of a way to get back to their timeline. Now to know where in the past they are.

"Um.. Thank you for your kindness..." MC spoke meekly to the older woman in front of them. The older woman just smiled at them.

"You look very out of sorts poor dear. A long way from home I presume?" She asked MC kindly as she folded the clothes MC was wearing earlier.

"Ah you don't need to do that..." MC flushed. This lady remind her of her grandmother.

"It's fine I assure you. So what led you here to Jerusalem?" MC hoped to have kept their facial expressions clear from their shock. Alright that is one problem solved. They are in Jerusalem. But *WHEN* in Jerusalem. Will they be seeing Jesus or something? Does Jesus even exist? MC lowkey wanted to ask the brothers or even Solomon but considering the circumstances they privately kept it to themself.

"Uh... I was actually hoping to visit the temple for... uh worship..." that's a safe answer right? There shpuld be many temples for God here since it's the holy land right? Damn if MC knew thsi would happen they should've paid more attention to theology classes back in their school days. Thankfully it seems that MC has hit the nail on its head somewhat as the woman nodded her head.

"How unfortunate that you arrived here during the Sabbath." Sabbath MC knows that day of rest. Yeah ok they got this. Totally not internally panicking. God they feel like Levi.

"Uh.. yeah how unfortunate..." they trailed off.

"You came at a great time however since the temple that King Solomon has been building has been finished." King Solomon...

Well shit. Well at least now they know for sure when they are in the last but at the same time. Why does this always happen to them really...

Not that I have any business trying to theorize who Nightbringer is since I am working my way through both it and the og app's story at the same time, but I have been making a sort of pros and cons list? for whether or not I think it's Barbatos

Pro Barb = NB

The opening cut scene kind of looks and sounds like him, no idea if that's actually supposed to be NB though. I think it might just be information about Barb that's introduced at the same time as NB's first texts.

He has some sort of thing with time travel? I'm not far enough along to know specifics yet, and Solomon says Babratos is who helped him travel back in time but I have some doubts.

Solomon says that portals Barbatos opens always take you exactly where you need to go, and in 9-A he sends Solomon "somewhere random" but ends up setting him up for a conversation with Nightbringer. But with the way that shakes out...

Cons Barb = NB

The whole bit with Adam is weird to me. In mythology Lillith is sometimes referred to as Adam's first wife, and he talks about wanting to go back to the celestial realm to find his beloved so my immediate thought was of her, but I don't think that's the case? I think it's implied she gets together with her human guy? Anyway I bring this up to say that I don't fully understand why Barb would want to help out some random guy get to the celestial realm unless there's something I'm missing here. Maybe it was just an excuse to let Mammon hug MC, I haven't ruled that out.

I'm not far in the story at all, but a lot of what's being said makes it sound like there is going to be another war between the celestial realm and the devildom, specifically over humanity. And that MC might have something to do with it... but not willingly? There seems to be some attempts from someone to get the brothers to go back to siding with the Celestial realm, which initially made me theorize that Nightbringer could be an angel but uh-

Nightbringer is apparently a demon from what I understand, but I'm still wondering if he was also angel at some point. In christian mythology all demons are fallen angels just like the brothers, if this was true it could explain why the previous demon king wanted to keep the brothers around since he might know they'd make extremely powerful demons???

Back to the war thing, In 10-A Nightbringer sets up a test for Solomon where he is asked to choose between demons and angels and he chooses humanity mentioning an "agreement I have with 'him'" which seems to me to be more suggesting his agreement is to try and not make enemies out of the celestial or demon realms... but then Nightbringer goes onto say "If you'd only chosen our side, it would have made things so much easier." AND to lightly threaten MC.

Solomon probably knows who Nightbringer is as he mentions that he "made him who [he is] today" and I somehow doubt that, if he had a pact with said demon, that there wouldn't be a stupid easy fix to get MC back to their proper time and place. I also think that war he single-handedly won against the Devildom probably has something to do with Nightbringer... since that's already apparently ancient history when Lucifer and his brothers show up fresh out of the Celestial war.

I've been thinking about this a stupid amount ever since I saw a post on reddit wondering if Nightbringer wasn't something shed from Barbatos when he created this weird tear pool place thing I haven't gotten to yet (a la Lucifer and Satan) but the Solomon in Wonderland adventure got me thinking if it couldn't be the other way around. What if Barbatos was created from something shed from Nightbringer... which is why his powers can be sealed away by royal decree as no matter how great he is he is still bound by some sort of loyalty to his "father"?

Idk I'll cook more later when I've actually made meaningful progress, leveling cards is a bitch in both these games.

Enjoy~

------

It was the early hours of the morning, and most of the Devildom was still asleep when Lucifer made his way into your castle suite, where you and Diavolo were. He found Diavolo staring down at you, mindlessly brushing a thumb over your jaw, still cradling you.

Lucifer sat next to Diavolo, next to where your head was, and sighed. He scanned your frame, also noting how your presence was barely there, he couldn't feel you like normally did. His pact mark with you didn't burn internally in your presence like it always did. He could barely detect your pulse, breaths as light as feathers.

"I will still love her no matter what she chooses," Diavolo said, finally responding to one of Lucifer's earlier questions from the colosseum. "But I want to offer her the option, nonetheless. I had been considering this for a while, a long while. But there is always so much going on, there never seems to be a right time."

Lucifer pondered his words, but had another question for the prince, as well as himself:

"I can't help but wonder, about her humanity, her soul. Would we still be enamored with her?"

Diavolo tilted his head and finally tore his gaze away from your form to look at Lucifer. "As for her soul, imagine being in her shoes. We are soulless beings of carnal desires, embodiments of sin, and she takes the physical, mental, and emotional punishments of being around us, yet she loves us all the same. I find the idea of the demoness she could be to be rather intriguing, and I would love her all the same, if not more for such a sacrifice on her part."

It was an uncomfortable thought for Lucifer. He never wanted to be a demon, never intending to be where he currently was, but that wasn't the point. Would she be genuinely happy? Maybe so, if it was a choice. He did not have one, and he wondered if you would eventually regret such a decision. But it would be a mistake to think he wasn't also wanting to be selfish, because being a demon would guarantee your eternal life, and that was something he desired for you, but would never ask it because your humanity was worth cherishing as well. However, he knew your soul would ascend, and he would never hold you again after your death, lest you fell to the Devildom.

"Share your thoughts, Lucifer," Diavolo said, sensing the wheels turning in his friend's head.

"I can't deny that I also want her to choose immortality, but I wonder if she wouldn't regret her decision after a few hundred years. Though, that is how choices work, you live with the consequences," Lucifer mused.

"We would make sure that she's never left wanting, for anything, and do our best to remind her every day that we are eternally grateful for her in our lives," Diavolo murmured, looking down at you again.

For the first time since the incident, you moved on your own. Your head turned, very slowly and not much at all, as if you were asleep. They watched as your fingers twitched and your back moved just ever so slightly in the prince's embrace. The two demons shared a quick glance and went back to watching you. But that was the last of your movements, and you were still again, however you felt a bit more alive now, so they felt somewhat relaxed, but only a little.

Both demons sat in silence, watching you merely exist. All their love, time, physical resources tied up into one little human.

Breaking the silence, Lucifer spoke, "Satan said he would come by to check on her later in the morning. I would tell you to get some rest, but I doubt you will."

"I will remain here, but if you'd like you may certainly stay or use any of the beds in the castle," Diavolo replied. Lucifer reclined against the headboard, trying to at least shut his eyes and rest if sleep would not come.

-

Satan knocked on the bedroom door, but heard no reply, so he walked in to quite the loving sight:

Diavolo and Lucifer were sitting next to each other on the bed, almost shoulder-to-shoulder, both reclined against the headboard and asleep. You were draped across both their laps on your side; your head and shoulders in Lucifer's, hips and rear in Diavolo's. It was almost as if they had to compromise who got to hold you, and the answer was clearly both.

Satan frowned. That is not how she needs to be laying in order to heal, he thought. Not one to miss an opportunity, he walked over to his eldest brother and shoved Lucifer's shoulder, rudely jolting him awake and looking haphazard at Satan. He glared at the younger sibling and looked over to Diavolo, gently rocking his shoulder.

Diavolo stirred and quickly woke up to Satan's demands.

"She cannot lie like that," Satan said.

In unison, they asked, "Why not?"

"It's not conducive for healing, so move her to lay on her back, and I'll work to rewrap her bandages," he ordered. The other two demons frowned and did as they were asked.

Lucifer left to go sit in one of the armchairs next to the window, so he wasn't in the way. Diavolo remained at your side, watching Satan's precise movements of unwrapping your bandage.

"Actually, she probably ought to be cleaned up before I go too much further-" he caught the glare of both your boyfriends. "Yes, that means I need to bathe her-" he tried to say before Lucifer cut him off.

"Nonsense, I'll take care of that-"

"Satan can do it," Diavolo cut Lucifer off this time. "We need to let him do his job." Satan looked at Lucifer expectantly and received a huff in reply.

Satan picked you up gingerly and brought you to the bathroom. He gently undressed you, grimacing at the bruises and lacerations that still laced your body, and ran a warm bath. Setting you down into it, he worked on cleaning you up. Though, Satan did find himself in awe of you. Likely, none of his brothers had such an intimate experience with you, except maybe Lucifer, and he hoped when you heard about this upon waking up, you wouldn't be too embarrassed or upset. Truly, in Satan's eyes, you had nothing to be embarrassed about, because you were beautiful in all ways. He didn't look at you in a perverted sexual way, but one of admiration and deep connection, trust and a deeper kind of love that was fortified through care tasks.

Once satisfied, he pulled you from the tub and dried you off. It was challenging to wash and dry the equivalent of a human ragdoll; however, it came in handy to have the strength of a thousand armies. Barbatos brought new clothes for you and helped Satan to dress you again. While Satan was bathing you, Barbatos had also cleared your bloodied bed, so you'd have clean blankets and sheets to enjoy.

Satan carried you back into your bedroom, and laid you in the middle, head resting on a pillow. He worked quickly to dress your wounds again, also checking on your broken leg. "Hmm, I suppose I need to make a cast for this. I'll have to get the materials for it," Satan pondered out loud.

"Take Barbatos with you and he'll purchase whatever you need," Diavolo replied. He sat himself next to you once more.

"She'll need this concoction Solomon made for her, to help with the pain," Satan said, handing a bottle to Lucifer from his med kit. Lucifer instantly raised a skeptical eyebrow.

"Solomon may not cook very well, but he can get medicine right, most of the time," Satan replied, slightly hesitating at the end. "Simeon got called to the Celestial Realm but said he would return as soon as possible when I told him what happened."

"Thank you, Satan," Diavolo called out softly. Satan nodded and left the room to find Barbatos for cast materials. Lucifer left the armchair to join you two on the other side, running his hand through your hair.

Diavolo and Lucifer shared a glance and continued to watch over you.

-

Where am I? you thought.

"You're unconscious, we are in your mind," a voice replied. It was bodyless, nowhere but simultaneously everywhere.

In your mind's eye, you couldn't see anything, but you felt as though you were in a room, somewhere familiar. You felt bodyless as well, not exactly existing but you were certainly aware of your sense of self.

"I have questions for you," the voice called out.

What are they?

"Are you happy with your life?" it asked.

Mulling it over, surely the number of times you have almost died since arriving in the Devildom has far surpassed the number of times when you were back in the human world, so that wasn't great. However, you never felt surer of yourself and your purpose in life than being in the Devildom, with your chosen family that you loved most dearly. Flashes of your loved ones came to mind, and it wasn't hard to give your answer.

I am.

"Do you know what lies before you, now?"

No. What is it?

"A choice is to be made, at your hand. I am here to present to you your options and answer your questions, should you want to know," it answered.

What is the decision I have to make?

"It is in regard to your soul. The sake of your soul is currently hanging in the air, waiting to be left intact, or stolen."

What do you mean?

"The choice you have to make is whether or not you want to keep your soul."

Okay, what if I keep my soul?

"You shall ascend to the Celestial Realm after your humanly death, and become one of heaven's finest angels, a seraph, one of glory and radiating pure holy light and serving as the right hand of Michael himself."

And if I give it away?

"You shall be reborn and reign as the Devildom's fiercest Avatars, that which of competing in strength and ability with the eldest of the Avatars."

Why are you telling me this?

"It would be a shame for you not to know you have another option than the one that is currently being laid out for you by two particular demons." It paused for several moments as you considered its words.

"Good luck, and I'm sorry," it added.

A vortex then tore through the space you resided in, sucking you in just to spit you back out into streamline consciousness.

-

"Mm," you mumbled.

Shooting red hot pain flared up your leg, and it caused you to jolt, eyes flying open and gasping.

"Darling, darling, I need you to drink this," Diavolo tried to tell you, but it was hard to hear over the pounding heartbeat in your ears. He turned your head and pressed a bottle lip to your mouth. You tried to fight him because your vision was still blurry, but Lucifer then held you in place as they fed Solomon's pain reliever down your throat. Once it was completely gone, they released you, and you tried to sit up, which ended with you falling back into the mattress.

It was like watching an injured animal struggle, how you thrashed to tried to sit up and move on your own, but it felt as though someone tied a thousand lead weights to your body. Lucifer finally took your head into his hands and forced you to look at him.

"Dove, please stop moving, you need to be still," he pleaded. "Or at least let us help you," he added.

Nodding, you tried to speak, only to be met with nothing more than a whisper, and you clutched your throat. Your boyfriends shared a pained look and returned their attention to you.

"Help me sit up," you whispered. Both demons hoisted you up so that your back was against the headboard, and you seethed and hissed as your broken leg drug up the bed, feeling the soreness in your torso.

With heavy, ragged breaths, you looked at your surroundings. You were in your castle suite. Diavolo sat next to you on your left, and Lucifer was kneeling onto the mattress on your right. They both looked at you with concern, unsure of whether to hug you or let you be.

"What happened?" you rasped.

"What do you remember?" Diavolo asked, fighting the urge to pull you into his arms now that you were awake.

"The colosseum, three demons assaulting me. They broke my leg and choked me out," you whispered. Immediately, you shucked off the covers and saw your mangled leg wrapped in a bloody bandage. It hurt just to even look at it.

"Darling..." Diavolo trailed off, unsure of what to say.

"We took care of those demons, they'll never bother you again," Lucifer said, trying to redirect your thoughts.

Hot tears spilled over your cheeks. The memories were flooding back, and you could remember screaming out for help when two of the demons held you down while the third snapped your tibia before your very eyes but help never came. You were all you had in those final moments before the third reached up to your neck and put you into a sleeper hold, so they could stop your screaming and escape.

Diavolo grasped your hand closest to him and held it in both of his. The warmth was welcoming, but it couldn't stop the horrors that kept replaying in your head.

Lucifer gave Diavolo a knowing look and nodded.

"MC," Diavolo said, now very serious, and it caused you to immediately look up into his piercing golden eyes. "I need to ask you something, something very important. I'm going to make you an offer, and I need you to carefully consider what it is I'm asking. Can you do that for me?"

Slowly nodding, you whispered, "I'm listening."

"Would you want to become a demon?"

Home(Dinner Part 2)

Im shortening the exchange students name to S/N AKA student name

Sorry i forgot to answer the person who actually requested this @kurooandkarmaswife thank you sm for requesting! I hope you enjoy 😩

Also lets pretend you cant have more than 1 pact with a human cause yeah. If you havent read Dinner yet go read it since you’ll really only understand this if u read the first part

Fandom: Obey me!

Pairing: not really with anyone but has subtle undertones of solomon & Simeon x reader

Length: sort of long

Genre: Angst with comfort

Gn! Reader and exchange student!

Part three!

Dinner last night, was, well...pretty terrible. I ended up waking up at 2 am to the brothers STILL not home. Apparently even Diavolo had taken a liking to the new exchange student.

A day goes by and finally i get to meet the new exchange student.

Whoah

Is all i can think. I walk into the living room unnoticed as everyone is talking to the new exchange student, i wouldnt blame them.

They look incredible.

I felt a hint of jealousy wash over me. Seeing Mammon, Asmo’s and Beel’s joyful laughs as they talk to them. Their voice was ever so gentle, it’s what i imagine spring to sound like.

I tried forgetting about my distasteful thoughts of jealousy and walked over to them.

“Goodmorning!”

I called out to try and grab their attention

“Oh, MC! I didnt see you there;;”

Asmo said to me as he was taking selfies with the new exchange student

“This is the new exchange student”

Beel smiled

“Hi! My name is MC”

I happily introduced myself

“My name is S/N”

They brought their hand out and i shook it in return. Their eyes were ever so sweet, i felt the sadness come over me as i wore a soft smile.

Something tells me this wont end well.

Weeks go by as i barely get to see the brothers anymore. They’re always around S/N. I find myself longing the brothers touch. The random emergency texts i get from mammon, calls from Asmo asking me if i wanted to go to a club, Belphie always dragging me to his room to take a nap, Beel’s adorable goodnight texts, Lucifer’s complaints about work, Satan’s library dates, And levi’s rants about a certain anime he just watched.. i missed it all.

I guess i missed the warmth and the constant attention i got from them. The attention thats now being directed at S/N.

The new feeling of emptiness leads me to the Purgatory hall, a place i’ve been to quite often after S/N had won over the brothers.

I enter the room praying that i dont see S/N hogging Luke, Solomon, and Simeon’s attention....

What?

Did i just think that?

Am i that jealous?

Have i gotten so used to being in the spotlight that suddenly i become like this when not in the center?

Its an unpleasant feeling and i try to snap myself out of it as i see Simeon, Luke, and Solomon all happily seated on the couch drinking tea and eating pastries Luke made.

“MC! Hey!!”

Luke happily greets me as well as Solomon and Simeon. Im pulled to the couch as im seated next to Luke. I take a bite of the pastry and embrace the comfort of the sugary sweets.

The conversation goes on for a long time as hours go by. Soon enough the entire tray of pastries and tea are long gone.

As the clock hits 8 PM i realize ive been at the Purgatory hall for too long now. Excusing myself i go back to the house of Lamentation to be once again greeted by smiling faces and S/N laying out plates filled with food for the brothers.

The brothers quarrels, Satan’s face of annoyance, Asmo’s whining... The smell of warm food on the dinner table being handed out....

As i hide from the view of the brothers and S/N i look back to when it would to be me that made everyone dinner and calmed them down.

My chair.

My chair had been occupied by S/N,

What?

Did they expect me to sit on the floor for dinner or something?

As i slowly walked to my room i heard the deep voice of Lucifer

“Oh MC,,, sorry S/N is sitting on your spot, we thought you were gonna go to the purgatory hall for dinner tonight. We do apologize”

As i feel my throat closing up i smile and say in a bubbly tone

“Oh it’s fine! I was actually gonna go out with my friends for dinner anyways! I was just getting something from my room, i’ll be out in a sec!”

Lucifer gave me a warm smile and continued conversing with S/N

As i went to my room i started to realize the situation here. I’ve been replaced. I mean who wouldn’t replace me when the actual definition of an angel was right in front of them with their welcoming arms open.

As soon as i got to my room salty tears trailed down my cheeks,

Jealousy?

Sadness?

Anger?

Whatever the emotion was i wasn’t having it. Unlocking my DDD to be greeted by the wallpaper of me and the brothers all dressed up for a ball we went to together once. i tried to hold back my few tears as i called Solomon, a dear friend of mine.

“Hey solomon!!”

“Oh, yes MC? Is there anything you need?”

“I know i just left the purgatory hall but could I possibly stay there for the night?”

“Oh, of course! I dont exactly know why but Luke’s already whining about how you stayed for too little.”

“I’ll be right over”

I hung up the phone, my tears stopping after i heard that comforting voice of his.

That night i stayed at the purgatory hall, happily sleeping next to Luke, lulling him to sleep.

The purgatory hall became my escape. Solomon always made me laugh, Simeon always made sure i felt welcome there and Luke was practically my adopted son after how long i could stay with him.

As i went about the kitchen helping Luke make a pastry i showed him from the human world a strange feeling washed over me. The feeling of something being erased from my my soul, something was fading away. That something felt like it was piercing my soul.

I look around my body to see what it is. As i look around i see it.

My pact marks are starting to fade

I panic as i excuse myself and go back to the house of lamentation.

As i silently enter the room i hear the faint sound of the brothers, they’re discussing something.

“Cmon Satan you’ve gotta be quick! What if they find out?!”

“Removing a pact isnt that easy Mammon.”

As i listen more i realize what it is.

They’re trying to break my pact with me.

And for what exactly?

Because they want one with someone else.

That someone being S/N

It hurt. Who wouldn’t be hurt? tears flowed from my eyes in record time as i tiredly walk outside.

Devildom was a place the brothers always told me to beware of, but right now i couldnt care less.

While i walked around the town with puffy eyes and the stinging feeling of my pact marks being removed, i hear a certain group of people call my name, i look back to see Luke, Solomon and Simeon’s smiles quickly turn into frowns as they see my tears

“What’s wrong MC?!”

Luke worriedly asks

Unable to hold it in i tell Them.

“The brothers are trying to break my pact with them, they want one with S/N apparently. Im afraid i’ve been replaced by that saint..”

Solomon and Simeon’s face turn into faces of empathy while Luke’s turned quite sour

As Simeon came closer to me and pulled me close into a hugged he mumbles out a comforting phrase

“Whatever happens MC, you’ll always be welcome at the purgatory hall.”

The sentence made my stomach overflow with butterflies. I happily hug back, quickly accepting the purgatory hall as my new and improved home.

Brothers + Dateables Reaction to Teen MC

————————————

Lucifer

When he first chose you for the exchange program, he kind of expected someone... older?

But instead here you were, another chihuahua

To his surprise, you had your calm moments but you also had your energetic moments where you and Mammon would cause problems upon problems around the house

To say you got annoying quickly would be an understatement, but weirdly, he saw you as his own kid and he did anything to protect you

If you were upset, he was straight at your side with a cup of hot chocolate and asking who made you upset, just like a worried parent would

He felt so relieved when after a couple months passed you began to calm down and sit with him and just talk about life and how you’re handling RAD

The first time you gave him a hug he was genuinely surprised and wasn’t sure what to do but he honestly could’ve cried

Mammon

As soon as he saw you he just went straight to the chihuahua jokes. He loved your size cause it meant he could use you as his arm rest whenever he wanted

Immediately took you under his wing and became an older brother figure to you, keeping you safe and rarely letting anyone touch you

He’s like the cool older brother you’ve always wanted who buys you little gifts every now and again as a surprise and makes you laugh all the time

He loves how energetic you are and how much fun you two have together tormenting his brothers

Seeing you sad is something he never wants to see, and I can promise you that sadness will not last long with Mammon by your side

Any type of affection you give him makes him so so happy, like hearing a child say their first word

Honestly though, he likes the chill side of you too where you two can just sit back, watch a movie and say “it’s you” at every unattractive character the both of you come across

Leviathan

Children really wasn’t his thing and he was not expecting to have to look after the exchange student

But after a while, you turned out to be pretty cool since you two shared a lot of hobbies together and you even cosplay with him on certain occasions

He’s a literal older brother figure to you and it makes him elated to have you as his Henry

You two shop for endless useless crap on Akuzon together and get yelled at by Lucifer for blocking the entrance with all the boxes

He’s comfortable around you, especially as you eventually began to calm down and the only thing you wanted to do was stay up all night and laze around in his bedroom all day

If you were ever sad, he’ll quickly turn on your favourite anime or movie and wrap you up in a huge blanket. He never wants to see you upset

You may have given him a heart attack the first time you hugged him though but he was so close to crying, it may’ve been the best day of his life

Satan

Energetic short stack as the new exchange student? No thanks

Sort of just attempted to avoid you the first couple days but you kept on following him, asking him so many questions

But after a while, he began to gradually warm up to you and even shared some of his books with you and read them to you when you had trouble sleeping

The bond he has with you isn’t exactly brotherly, it’s more like the chill uncle that gives you extremely old shit that you never knew you needed

He lowkey protects you with his life though. If someone says something mean to you, he’s the first person who’s at your aid

If you’re upset, he’ll sort that problem out super fast. You won’t be sad on his watch

Didn’t know how to respond the first time you gave him a hug so he pat your head and then it kinda stuck so now whenever you hug him, he gives your head a gentle pat

Asmodeus

Nobody really thought having you around Asmo was a good idea, but actually, you two weren’t a bad match

He definitely without a doubt had that favourite gay brother vibe where he’d dress you up pretty and talk to you about relationships and emotions

He always made you feel good about yourself and made it his mission to never see you sad or lonely

If you ever were, he’ll be like your personal servant until you weren’t. Gifts, words of affirmation, quality time, he’d do anything to see you stay happy

Brought you gifts home occasionally and asked you to try them on if the gift was clothes or accessories and let you try his perfume and lip gloss from time to time

Seeing you gradually grow as you became more comfortable with his brothers and him was such a proud moment for him

He gave you the biggest hug back when you first gave him a hug, he was so excited

Beelzebub

Same with Asmo, nobody thought it was a good idea being around him, especially with his tendencies to eat just about anything

But he was alright with you, he walmed up to you pretty quick and soon took you under his wing like he had another little sibling to look after

Brought you snacks whenever you asked him to and made sure you had a smile on your face constantly

He got so worried if you were upset and even got a little upset himself, so he’d spent more time with you and tell you how great you are until you were happy

If you asked him to, he’d lift you up onto his shoulders and walk around with you just to hear you laugh and feel so tall compared to all the others

Watching you settle down from being this once energetic kid to a calmer one was heartwarming to him and he now enjoys nothing more than sitting back, sharing snacks and throwing popcorn into your mouth when you two watch a movie

He actually cried when you hugged him, no joke, this man was close to sobbing

Belphegor

Another annoying chihuahua around? He’ll pass...

It’s not like he ever actually sees any of his brothers anyway since he sleeps so much, but you just wouldn’t leave him alone for some reason

Sometimes he’d unknowingly wake up to you on the opposite side of the bed after joining him in a nap or on the floor playing on your phone waiting for him to wake up so you could talk to him

After a while, he sort of just got used to you being around him and even enjoyed waking up to find you laying on the ground on your phone

Sometimes you were a bit too energetic for his liking but spending the nights awake with you were always his favourite parts of the day

Once he found you sat in a ball on his floor crying and he’d never gotten up from a nap faster as he sat next to you with a blanket, continuously telling you jokes until you finally smiled

Wasn’t too bothered about you hugging him for the first time, he just smiled, pat your head and went back to sleep

Diavolo

Never expected such a young person to be the new exchange student but he welcomed you with open arms either way

He found it interesting how you didn’t fear any of them at first glance so visited you often to check up on you

Eventually Diavolo visited every day, asking you about RAD and life in the Devildom and even brought you cakes that Barbatos made sometimes

He became a dad figure to you, protecting you and giving you special Prince privileges like allowing you to come over any time you liked

Couldn’t stand the days you came over with a frown on your face from having a bad day at RAD and made sure you were totally comfortable and happy by his side for the rest of the day

It was always a pleasure to see you come over with Barbatos by your side and smile so widely when you see him, it made his heart ache

He may’ve gotten too excited when you first hugged him and squeezed you a bit too hard. The man hasn’t hugged anyone in a while though so can you blame him?

Barbatos

Never expected a human this young to pop out of the portal

But like everybody else, he accepted you as part of the Devildom now and was the very first person to send you a welcome text

He slowly began to become interested in you and visited from time to time; bringing round treats that he’d made at the castle

Schedules little cooking days with you and Luke and loves how you both help him in the kitchen and adores how much you smile when you apply icing to your cakes

Becomes the person you go to when you have something on your mind and he normally drops everything when you come to visit just so he can talk to you

Seeing you sad makes him sad too, so he helps you as best as he can, no matter what he was previously doing. You’re what’s most important right now

Hugs aren’t particularly his thing but a hug from you always makes his day so much better

Simeon

Another child? He’s sorta glad it’s not him who has to look after you since he already has Luke

Well in the end, he sorta does mainly look after you after the amount of times you visit him unannounced

He’s without a doubt the sweet and accepting dad figure to you as he always listens and he understands and he always knows how to cheer you up

You won’t be sad for long with him by your side, he’s just got that vibe about him. It’s imposible to stay upset

Takes you to little cafés when you’re sad and likes to join you and Luke when you’re cooking with Barbatos

Gets emotional when he sees you grow to become apart of every ones life and become so at home and attached to everyone around you

He’ll never forget that first hug you gave him, it reminds him of when Luke gives him one when he gets lonely so he loved every second of it

Solomon

Started to tease you straight away. It can’t be helped when you’re almost the same size as Luke

Never expected to get so close to you and now he’s willingly to protect you with his life. Crazy

You can’t stay sad when he’s around, it’s not possible. He knows exactly how to cheer you up and doesn’t stop until he sees that frown of yours disappear

Comes to visit you once in a while when he has time just to cause trouble around the house and piss off the brothers and chat with you and Asmo

Now Solomon is the definition of cool uncle. He’ll show you shit that’ll make your day, bring you gifts and stupid unnecessary items and just make you laugh so hard that your stomach will hurt

Still teases you from time to time and you become his arm rest for the rest of the year, but on the plus side, he teleports you to the human world to get icecream

Never thought he’d see the day where he’d get a hug, especially from you, so he made it last as long as he could. It felt nice to be appreciated

Luke

Unsurprisingly, you two got along straight away, I mean, two short people in the Devildom gotta stick together, right?

Pretty much began to live at eachothers house with the amount of times you two would visit

Protects you from the demons at least twice a day and tries his best to swat away Solomon and Mammon from leaning on your head

Becomes your new younger brother and he’ll do anything to keep you safe as well as happy and laughing

His heart hurt when he sees his new friend sad, so he asks Simeon if he could take the two of you to get your favourite treats and he’s relieved when he sees you smile again

His favourite days are when you two bake cakes with Barbatos, he likes hanging around with you because you make everything more fun

Couldn’t believe it when you hugged him for the first time and couldn’t help hugging you tighter so it was like watching two little kids see eachother for the first time in months

Demonic Pregnancy (But It Makes the MC… Problematic)

Okay, so hear me out. I know the prevailing idea is that a human getting pregnant with a supernatural kid would sap their strength and what not… But what if the opposite happened? So basically, getting pregnant by the brothers would make the MC physically stronger, but more susceptible to their sin… Oh this is going to be fun. 😈

Trigger Warning: Pregnancy

Lucifer

First noticed something was up when the MC came into his office to bring him coffee and casually ripped the door of its hinges… with one hand… by the handle…

He didn’t even have time to be mad about it because he was already frantically texting Diavolo and Barbs that there was something very wrong with the human. They’re not supposed to do that.

Meanwhile MC is in the background marveling at the newly freed door in their hand… They hadn’t even thought about it! Is this what having power is like?? Are they actually dangerous now??? Better not let it go to their head…

*it is totally going to go to their head*

Lucifer learns two things pretty quickly, (1) The human is pregnant with his child and (2) They’ve just been given access to a whole lot of power and they’re mind is set on one thing: Domination.

The next nine months for him are spent practically having to leash the MC or else they’ll go out to pick fights with anything that moves to prove their “superiority”… His brothers and even Diavolo included!

It wouldn’t be so bad if their body wasn’t still very human and very breakable… and also they’re PREGNANT, so please STOP!!

This baby, honestly, could not come fast enough… Good thing demons don’t develop grey hairs… Poor guy…

Mammon

Noticed something was up when they were chatting out at RAD and they dodged a stray ball from Beel. 

They dodged a ball. From Beel. And he throws at, like, Mach 7 speed… And it didn’t even look hard!

… But being the dumbass that he is, he just thought they had gotten a lot better at their magic. It was Lucifer who saw something wasn’t right when the MC was actually holding their own against Mammon and Beel in a race.

Was thrilled by the news at first but then quickly learned that he must have infected them with Greed somehow…

They wouldn’t stop begging for new stuff! Sometimes for him or the baby, but mostly just whatever struck their fancy the second that they saw it.

He’d try to tell them no but then they’d look all sad or whine about hard it was to be pregnant and how they couldn’t do things like tie their shoes or stand for long periods of time or…

(Never mind the fact that they could bench-press Beel if they wanted to, no no, that didn’t matter.)

His nine months were pretty much spent pandering to Lucifer and Levi for more loans to keep his MC happy… and praying they’d snap out of it after the baby finally came because he CANNOT keep paying for their crap…! 😥

Leviathan

MC and Levi playing games in his room and one of their online matches got particularly heated… The MC may or may not be prone to gamer rage, but that night they got so frustrated that they snapped his controller in half like a toothpick…

They were too busy trying to frantically apologize to take notice of their sheer strength, but HE did. And he was thrilled!!

Like, sure, it sucks that he’d have to buy a new controller but that was So. Cool. Their strength was like something out of a shonen!! He was honestly fanboying too hard to question, “Wait a minute, how did they even get that strong??” The MC later went to Lucifer themselves to get it all got sorted out (really Levi was no help whatsoever) and man was he shocked by the news…

Though he was even more shocked by the sudden spike of jealousy that they seemed to exhibit afterward… Like, extreme “You better not leave my sight” level jealousy… 😣

One the one hand, he’s kind of into it because being alone with the MC is all he’s ever wanted!… but on the other hand, dude really wants some space… 

He tolerates the next nine months for three reasons: (1) He does honestly love the MC, (2) Watching them break (other people’s) stuff and fight demons with their bare hands will never stop being cool, and (3) He’s somewhat afraid of what they’d do if he tried to leave so…  😥

Let’s hope the effects are temporary…

Satan

Found out something was wrong when he and the MC went to the park. He saw an old acquaintance of his and left to go say hi but came back to find that the MC had uprooted an entire park bench to squash a nosy lesser demon…

Nothing, absolutely NOTHING, he’d ever read about humans told him that they were capable of that!

Figuring this has some kind of magic origin, he doesn’t bring them to Lucifer but to their resident human sorcerer instead, Solomon…

…and THAT bright idea ended up getting the MC magic tag-along throughout their pregnancy since Solomon wanted to make "a few” observations, the lying bastard… 🙄

Even more unfortunate though, is that the introduction of Wrath into their system also gave the MC an utterly monstrous temper which didn’t help their newfound strength at all…

Poor Satan gets saddled with caring for what amounts to a hair-triggered glass cannon… (though really it’s less protecting them from the world and the world from them 😣).

Needless to say, he’s lost quite a few bookcases over the next several months…

Asmodeus

It was another night with Asmo, so another night out clubbing. He and MC were together for most of the time, but they had left him briefly to get another round of drinks… and somehow got dragging into a straight up brawl in the process.

And they WON…

Asmo brought them right to Lucifer after that. Like, he loves you sweetie, but there were like ten lesser demons there and no way a little human like yourself could pull that off without something being up.

Oh he was overjoyed by the news, but the real test was yet to come… Who would give out first? The Avatar of Lust or a very, very, astronomically horny MC…?

In truth, no one in the House ever wants to talk about what happened for those next nine months ever again… The things they saw… The things they heard… Filthy, filthy things….. 😖

And more broken beds than anyone could care to count…

Let’s just say that they’re all happy the MC was already pregnant, otherwise they’d be dealing with a LOT more demon babies running around… What a hellscape that would be…

Beelzebub

The MC was helping him move some of his weights between rooms. They were only supposed to carry the lighter ones (which really weren’t that light) but they were carrying them so easily that the two got suspicious… They tried to lift one of his heaviest barbells and, to their amazement, they picked it up even easier than he could!

They both just kind of stared at each other for a few seconds before calmly agreeing to go find Lucifer. This probably wasn’t normal…

What pregnancy even was had to be explained to Beel since he doesn’t really understand humans and he only needed one thing confirmed…

So, they’re eating for two now?

And boy did they act like it! The MC’s appetite practically tripled as the months went on and he did his best to keep up for them. He even missed a meal or two for the first time in his life because he was so preoccupied making sure his MC had enough to eat… 😣

Their tastes also got weirder as time went on… At one point they asked for Solomon’s cooking which nearly had him “Nope-ing” out of the relationship right there. He stuck through it to make them happy, but he couldn’t watch them eat it… Even he has his limits, MC… 😟🤢

Wants the baby to come out already if for no other reason than he can finally go back to being the biggest eater of the House again. Having to work around two is a nightmare for everyone…

Belphegor

Would you believe he straight up didn’t know for weeks?

Like, they told him they were pregnant a while ago but all the pregnancy seemed to do was make them really sleepy…

Combine their naps with how often he’s dead to the world and it just never got brought up. 🤷‍♀️

That was until the day it was his turn to vacuum the common room and the MC was resting on the couch…

“MC, can you move? I need to get under there.”

“Hm? Oh, sure. Let me help.”

They then proceeded to get up and lift the couch with one hand like they were Beel or something!

He was, perhaps, slightly miffed that they didn’t think it was necessary to mention they had gotten a butt ton stronger for like a month, but you know…

Belphie has probably the easiest time managing his MC anyway because ALL they want to do is sleep. At most he just has to take on the responsibility to remind them to eat and move around a little.

Lucky bastard always gets off easy… 😖

[emmys-grimoire]

I don’t know if you have this one card but I found it rather interesting as it manages to give Solomon more depth. So I wanted to share it with you.

This is the Devilgram story by the way.

Anyways it basically goes that Solomon wants to create a box where anyone who is in it can only get out if they tell the truth. He enlists MC’s help to draw it, but lo and behold as always, both manage to get trapped inside of it. So they try to tell the truth about something they’ve previously lied about.

Solomon says he lied just the other day by giving Asmo a vague answer when He asked for his fortune to be read.

MC’s prompt are between having previously lied about a test that wasn’t easy or complimenting someone’s cooking they didn’t like. Let me tell you, the second was funny because finally we get to tell Solomon his cooking is bad. But I felt so bad choosing it since Solomon responds as such…

Yet this isn’t enough to get them out because MC helped, so the spell ended up changing. Now Solomon and Mc need to reveal a secret about themselves in order to escape the box. Leading us to be able to choose out of 3 prompts to ask Solomon.

• Does Solomon have a partner?

• When is Solomon’s birthday? December 9.

• What is something he hasn’t told anyone?

But let’s backtrack a bit.

All the way to Solomon’s profile.

It clearly states Solomon dislikes the ocean. I forget if it was on your blog or on Tumblr, but I remember someone posted once that the reason Solomon could hate the ocean is due to having one of his rings thrown into it. And so he had to search for it in order to find it.

But despite that possibly being the reason, or having such a bad experience with the ocean, this great magician still took the time to research the ocean. Enough to publish a book about fish habitats.

That’s dedication right there.

I wonder if this will be brought up again in the main story, since the only instance was Solomon trying to make a pact with Lucifer. And did Solomon ever find this ring?

Obviously I don’t expect that to happen this season as it’s meant to revolve around the 3 new transfer students….unless Thirteen has it 👀???

Anyways! I apologize this got so long and if you did already read this Devilgram story. But I found this to be interesting and kind of wholesome. Thank you for taking the time to read this if/when you did~

Take care and have a good day/evening.

I have this devil gram in my collection, but I appreciate you giving me your thoughts. It is a good Solomon lore dive.

There's a point back in season 3 when a drunken Asmodeus tells Solomon his cooking is not just terrible but it also comes with negative magical properties, and Solomon seems genuinely hurt by the comment. He asks Simeon to teach him but the lessons don't seem to stick. He's back to trying to cook in the cafe a few lessons later. It seems he's sincere in his desire to share his cooking with everyone, but he's not apt to get any better at it.

Solomon still has his ring (the Ring of Wisdom). He uses its animal-speaking powers in multiple devilgrams and in a couple events. We don't know if the OM canon is 100% identical to the biblical story (My guess? Probably not. Asmo revealed he and Solomon met when the former was drunk and sobbing at being rejected).

His contradictory relationship with the ocean seems to be a personality quirk more than anything: Solomon is fascinated by the ocean, but the ocean doesn't always treat Solomon nicely.

He's an interesting oddball, to be sure. I just wish we actually got more of a peek into his background in S3, particularly because a good portion of it was dedicated to us getting into the Sorcerer's Society -- which he founded and has a history with.

This took so long, and delayed everything, because I had to do 2 versions of the “prologue”, and 11 different endings with two versions.

Sorry!!!

Let’s make some quick math, shall we?

2 prologues

10 nice finals (with 2 parts each) = 20

10 nice finals Belphegor reaction

1 bad ending

1 bad ending Belphegor reaction

Results = 34 parts!!!

I don’t know why I did this

But I did

And Anime killed me for being late

But this wouldn’t have happened

If he did what he was asked and submitted his part of the job

Ps: he needed to hand me suggestions for the matchup event

Guess what?

He had 0 ideas

Very useful right?

Anyway enough with my rant!

Check this out!

I’m really proud of it.

The prologue and Lucifer/Mammon finals were the best.

.

Synopsis:

Belphegor was too distant.

You shared his joys as an angel, his pain of the fall and his transformation into demon.

After all those centuries, though, you were tired of it.

So... you left.

.

█ █ █ █ █ 100% *Tuning complete*

── ⋅ ⋅ ── ✩ ── ⋅ ⋅ ──

MC POV

-I’m leaving-

-Whatever- he said.

Belphegor has always been like that.

Indifferent to practically everything but Beel and Lilith.

And you felt so left out...

When you asked him to date he said “yeah, why not?” and he didn’t even look at you.

But you thought he liked you.

You never got words of appreciation from him.

He handed you some gifts, when Beel reminded him, but even those seemed more of a way to console you, rather than something he wanted to do because he loved you.

You couldn’t even remember why you fell in love with him in the first place.

But you knew you loved him.

You always made everything you could to make his wishes came true.

You fell from grace for him.

And you kept silent about his indifferent behaviour.

Why?

Why couldn’t he just give you some attention?

Even whenever you suggested to go out the answer was a “whatever”.

And the best date you’ve ever had with him was that only time he didn’t fall asleep.

Because Beelzebub was there to wake him up every time.

You really tried to make it work.

But he seemed to just not care.

So you made a choice.

-I’m leaving-

His surprise look was maybe the only time you saw him express some kind of emotion.

And in one second he turned away, deposing his head on his pillow: -Whatever-

Really?!

Was that all he could say!?

Thousands of years together and he couldn’t spare some more words!

And you left, who knows if you were angry or sad but tears kept leaving your eyes.

At a certain point you had expected him to come.

To follow you.

But he never did.

You crouched and started wondering if all you did had any sense at all.

You sacrificed everything for his sake.

Were you the fool or was he just too smart for you?

Or maybe both.

Blind love.

What a fitting image.

Nice final

(x character - romantic):

3rd person POV

.

Lucifer

-What are you doing here?- said a voice behind you.

As you turned you saw Lucifer, looking at you with a worried expression.

-I broke up with Belphegor- you answered, knowing he’d never accept anything but the truth.

He had always been so reliable, kind, polite.

And guilt filled his heart.

He shouldn’t be happy that you’re single again.

He knew Belphegor and you loved each other but he couldn’t help it.

He had always loved how kind and smart you were, ever since you met in the Celestial Realm.

And how he envied the devotion you gifted the youngest of his brothers.

Still he couldn’t be so greedy, could he?

He decided to welcome you in his chambers, preparing some (favourite beverage) and comforting you.

Finally within his grasp.

…

He’ll let you heal with time and he’ll carefully ponder when to make his move.

Once he thinks the time’s right he’ll start courting you with little tokens here and there.

He slowly tries to conquer your heart and when you give in to him, that reliable friend…

Always there for you.

So careful yet not clingy.

Then he’ll then ask you out.

Even if Belphie wants you back he won’t let him.

Isn’t he allowed to be a bit greedy?

Belphegor had his chance already and he lost it.

Now it was his turn.

His dream to be able to love and be loved by you has come true.

And he won’t let anyone steal you from him.

.

Mammon

-Hey! Watcha doin’ here?!- asked the Second-born, who appeared in front of you.

-I’m thinking- you said, not wanting to get into details.

Taking the hint (for once) Mammon just sit down with you and smiled: -If it’s ‘bout Belphie I can go beat him up for ya. He’s an idiot, ya know?-

A giggle left your lips.

-That won’t be necessary. I decided to... break up with him- you answered.

Silently he put a arm around you, consoling you.

He was quite in a difficult situation.

On one hand he was happy you were free once again, so that he could try conquer your heart, but he was also sad for his brother.

He had watched from afar how much you two loved each other.

He loved your patience with the avatar of sloth and your kindness so much he often tried to call out Belphie on his lack of emotion, without success.

And now he could try make you and him work.

If only he could forget about his little brother’s feelings.

…

But at the end his greed got the better of him and, once you started to get over Belphie, he’ll allow his love for you to become more evident.

A blush always on his cheeks, gifts and favours here and there… it was a bit of a change from the Avatar of sloth.

Mammon kept reminding you how much you mattered to him and once you reciprocate his feeling… he’ll be the happiest demon ever!

And he’ll make sure to show you with his words, that will make him blush afterwards, and expensive gestures.

Sure, he wasn’t the perfect boyfriend, forgetful at times and always chased by creditors, but he would do anything for you, and he always made sure you didn’t feel neglected.

Finally you could be happy… together.

.

Leviathan

Suddenly the voice of the Third-born awakened you from your thoughts: -W-What are you doing h-here?!-.

As you turned you found yourself in front of Levi, dressed in a Ruri-chan cosplay, who diverted his gaze, blush covering his face.

When he noticed your sad expression he sat down with you and awkwardly tried to comfort you.

-What is going on? Did... did you fight with Belphie?- he asked.

When you didn’t answer he just let that go and softly patted your shoulder, unsure of what to do next.

In the meanwhile his head was running wild and his heart was beating so hard he feared you could hear it.

Before that moment he thought Mammon was the worst but he was beginning to think his youngest brother was.

How could he let you go?!

Treat you like he did for all this centuries?!

How could he be so unfair to you?!

You fell from Grace just for him and he didn’t show the slightest gratefulness.

You were like a goddess, just like Ruri-Chan , if not more.

But unlike her you would never reciprocate his love.

After all he was just a yucky otaku.

Who, in their right mind, would have chosen him over the many suitors you probably had?

Not to mention that he wouldn’t have known what to do to show his love for you.

While his mind wandered like that he felt something lay on his shoulder.

You fell asleep on him, probably exhausted by the day you had.

And that was the last straw.

In that moment Leviathan decided he wouldn’t hold back anymore.

He’d let his love reach for you.

…

Luckily for him you were a bit more forward than him and were able to pick up rather quickly about his feelings.

He tried to keep things calm and proceed slowly but he often messed up his own plans because of his shyness, with... various outcomes.

At the end though, he was able to make breach in your heart and declare his love for you.

And luckily you accepted it and loved him back!

And he thought that maybe life wasn’t that unfair.

That maybe he was worthy of your love.

And that lasted for about five whole minutes.

And then back to his thoughts.

Although this time you were with him, helping him face his insecurities and loving him (as he deserved).

.

Satan

-What’s wrong?-

Behind you was the Avatar of Wrath, Satan, book in hand.

-I did it. I broke up with Belphegor- you answered.

Before the break up you had asked the Fourth-born for an opinion so he understood how hard it must have been for you and he asked no more.

Silently he just sat by your side.

Was it wrong to be happy of this?

You were there broken hearted, as he assumed his youngest brother was too, yet he couldn’t help but feel relieved.

He finally had the chance to mend your heart and win your affection.

It sounded a lot like those romance books he read.

Regardless it would have been distasteful of him to jump on you at that moment, like a vulture.

For as long as your heart ached because of Belphegor he would just be the faithful and responsible friend he has always been.

But once you are ready... he’ll no longer hold back.

…

Slowly he started to seduce you, or at least try.

And slowly you fell for him.

Finally, one day, he was able to confess his feelings to you and, with his extreme pleasure, you loved him back!

Satan was a very good lover, sometimes a bit temperamental but he never stopped to show you his love and affection.

Gifts, quality time, acts of service, words of affirmation and physical touch (although with a lot of shyness on his part)... the demon lacked none.

Sure, he still had to learn but he didn’t lack the will to improve.

And you with him.

After all, love improves both parties, doesn’t it?

.

Asmodeus

-Oh, dear. What has happened, love?- said the melodious voice of the Fifth-born.

-I followed your suggestions... I broke up with him- you murmured.

-Oh, sweetheart. Come here- he said with a sad smile, embracing you.

It is true that he wanted you to break up with him but it was not to do any wrong to you or his little brother.

He understood, instead, how toxic your relationship was and how you were losing yourself.

Therefore he held no grudges towards Belphegor but he didn’t bother feeling guilty.

It was the right thing to do.

Not to add that he would get the chance to be with you.

Your beauty, both in spirit and looks, captivated him ever since he met you, together with how you found beauty in everything... and everyone.

He knew better, though, than to act while your heart was broken in such manner.

So he helped you heal.

Shopping, nights awake chatting and fun of all kinds.

…

And slowly you couldn’t help but fall for the beautiful and charming Asmodeus, who seemed to refrain bedding others just for you.

So, once he tried to initiate a kiss, you kissed him back, joy fulfilling both of you.

And that’s how the best couple of Devilgram began.

Asmodeus spent as much time as he could with you without being overbearing and no special date went by without him organising something special.

When he was with you and you with him lust and love mixed and became one to the point that he could tell you without hesitation or strings attached: -I love you-.

.

Beelzebub

-What happened with Belphie?- asked the Sixth-born.

He felt that something went wrong, his twin’s heart was breaking with sadness and sorrow, so when he saw you there he wondered what could have caused that, although he had a slight idea.

-I... I broke up with him. I’m sorry- you said, lowering your gaze.

Beel put down his food and awkwardly sat beside you.

There was nothing he could say to excuse his twin, he ran out of excuses many decades before.

Now he could not help but feel bad for his brother.

After all he was there, glad that he could pursue you.

But things were never that easy.

…

Beelzebub wasn’t sure of how to help you get better but he tried.

He helped you avoid him.

He brought you food.

He was there when you needed him.

It wasn’t that hard to fall for him.

He had his faults but he was loyal and very committed to show you how much you meant for him.

And once Belphie gave him the okay to pursue you he went all out.

And how joyous was he when you accepted him.

You could almost see puppy’s ears and a little tail wagging behind him.

.

Simeon

-Oh, my. What are you doing here?- asked an angelic voice.

For real though.

Behind you had arrived Simeon.

The angel sat beside you.

Silently he just stayed by your side, waiting for you to be ready to tell him what was wrong.

When you told him he wasn’t sure how to react.

Part of him wanted to tell you “I told you so” and make you regret leaving the Celestial Realm but the most angelic part of his wanted to comfort you, and so he did.

…

Love had always been a difficult subject for angels and Simeon knew that more than anyone.

He knew how wrong it was to feel love for you but he couldn’t help himself.

He stayed with you, helping out whenever he could, offering you a room in Purgatory Hall but he couldn’t truly act.

Unfortunately, when you confessed the newly blossomed love you had for him he couldn’t find it in himself to reject you.

And so he fell.

He knew it was going to happen and despite the pain he couldn’t help but smile: you were going to be together forever and he couldn’t help but be happy for that.

.

Barbatos

Silently he brought you some handkerchieves and a blanket.

Of course he knew why you were there, he foresaw that.

And like a predator he jumped at the chance to make you his.

He could have never been your first love but he still wanted a chance.

It was indeed immensely selfish of him, or so he said, but he couldn’t help himself.

He minded not Belphegor, he was not threat.

The only one he cared about was you.

And even if you weren’t to fall in love with him he could stand being by your side as a friend, letting you achieve the happiness you deserved.

…

He didn’t see that coming.

He never thought you’d really fall in love with him but you did and that made his heart flutter.

He was a very busy man and despite his best efforts he could give you all the time he wanted to but he still tried his best and he was grateful you understood.

Finally he could have something, someone, for himself and he’d never let you go.

He’ll always make you happy and that is a fact for in no timeline will he allow himself to treat you any worse than you deserve.

.

Diavolo

-Who dared?- he said.

The Demon Prince sounded ready to kill anyone who made you spill your tears, not an inch of hesitation in his voice.

Seeing your look he decided to drop it, at least for now, and he tried to comfort you.

A Queen or even more, you were.

Ever since you came to Devildom he could see that.

And he was just waiting for you to leave the Seventh Brother to seduce you and make you his Queen.

And who would turn down the Future King?

He knew that just by using his status he could have forced you to marry him but that wasn’t what he needed.

He wanted you to love him just as he loved you.

And now that he got the chance he won’t waste it.

…

Joy.

A joy the Prince never felt in his entire existence, probably.

He wanted to shout, laugh and cry of happiness.

You had accepted him as your lover and he couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed.

You truly changed his world.

The formerly uncaring and cynical demon he was had become the sunny easygoing Prince you fell in love with.

And he’d do anything to make you happy.

He’ll never let you down and whatever you may wish for he’ll provide.

And perhaps he’ll let Belphegor live.

Perhaps.

Angsty final*:

*warning: mention of suicide

.

Then you thought: “Would he care if I were to die?”

Maybe he would have spared some moments for you.

Maybe he would have felt sorry for hurting you, ignoring you.

Then why not trying?

You had nothing left to lose anyway.

-One last sacrifice, Belphegor. I’m curious: what expression will you make?-

And as Death came to you you smiled: “Whatever. It will be too late already”

To not make Belphie look like a jerk:

BELPHEGOR POV

As he turned, hiding his face in the pillow, tears formed near his eyes.

But he had to wait.

Wait until you were gone.

And then he let it all out.

Sobs filled the room as tears made their way.

He was so sorry.

He never wanted any of this to happen.

He loved you.

He loved you so much...

But something inside seemed to stop him to express any feelings.

He remembered when you declared your love to him, back in the Celestial Realm.

He was so happy.

He wanted to tell you how much he was grateful for that.

But all that left his lips was a flat: “Yeah, why not?”

He wanted to punch himself.

And it all got worse as time passed.

Especially after your fall.

He started closing himself, even more than before, because of Lilith’s death.

Or, well, ...apparent death.

But you stayed by his side.

And he loved you even more.

But his sin, sloth, worsened his already indifferent behaviour.

No.

It wasn’t even right to blame it on that.

He cared for you.

But he never managed to demonstrate it to you.

Beelzebub always had to remind him of special dates he didn’t know of.

Maybe because he was forgetful.

Or maybe because he found every second spent with you equally important.

But lately even he understood how unfair he was being to you.

He tried so much to be better.

But he couldn’t, no matter how much he struggled.

So he decided to leave you.

He thought it was for the best.

But you anticipated him.

So when you said those words he just turned and let you go.

He knew you were both aware of how toxic your relationship was becoming.

Or maybe it always was.

This was for the best.

But why did it hurt so much, then?

.

── ✩ ──

.

Nice final:

Lucifer

Once he sees you and Lucifer together he understands right away.

He’s not a fool.

He knew what lied behind his big brother’s gentlemanly manners.

Behind his kindness.

And he hated it.

But he could not deny how much Lucifer could treat you better than he did.

So he avoided you two.

He sometimes mocked his brother about his faults just to feel better.

It didn’t work.

But that was what he wanted to do.

He had decided to let you go despite the chance of you to get a new lover.

Despite the chance of you getting with Lucifer.

And despite all he did not regret his decision at all.

He was sad but whenever he saw you smile he knew he had done the right thing.

What was best for you.

.

Mammon

It did not take that much to understand what happened.

After your break up Mammon had gotten closer to you and Belphegor was no fool.

He wasn’t oblivious to Mammon’s ever lasting feelings for you, ever since your Fall.

And he was quick to take the hint when he heard his older brother scream of happiness, and probably crying too.

He also saw that, despite his big brother’s scummy habits, he was indeed a more caring lover than he had ever been in your entire relationship.

So he kept an eye on you two, always making sure that Mammon didn’t mess up too badly, and, despite the pain in his heart, he knew you two were a good pair.

A happy imperfect one.

.

Leviathan

Subtlety was not Levi’s strong suit.

At all.

Belphegor wasn’t that oblivious to Leviathan’s feelings, although he never really cared bout his third brother.

He never thought the otaku would act on his feelings.

But he was wrong.

And he was showed that when, one morning, you came into the living room hand in hand with a very embarrassed Levi.

He never really minded his older brother but now he started to observe him more.

And he found out that, despite his otaku tendencies and his shyness, he was still better than him.

.

Satan

Satan was very clear about his intention with you, always behaving as a Prince Charming, the Knight in Shining armour.

And Belphegor couldn’t deny how much the Fourth-born cared for you.

It was rather evident and Satan made it even clearer when you agreed to be with him.

All Belphegor could do was watch from afar as the demon did what he had never done.

Giving you the love and affection you deserved.

.

Asmodeus

Ever since Asmodeus posted your first couple pic he despised looking at his DDD, trying to avoid falling in the temptation of looking at his older brother’s account.

Seeing you so happy, so loved hurt.

Especially because he could have done that if only he tried harder.

He knew Asmodeus often tried to get you to leave him but he held no big grudges, he knew it was for the better.

What he didn’t like, though, was how Asmodeus was easily able to conquer your heart.

Or perhaps it seemed so effortless because he was good at acting as if it was nothing.

Regardless... he couldn’t help but feel happy for you.

Though his heart often ached at the sight of Asmodeus and you for that was how you and Belphie could have been.

.

Beelzebub

He was way too aware of the pain his twin felt whenever he saw you caring for him.

He knew it pained Beel to see how he mistreated you.

So he had no problems entrusting you to him.

He knew that despite his constant hunger Beel was caring and loving in a way no one else could be.

Beel would have done anything to make you happy and he would have succeeded in doing so and that was all he wanted for you, though he never showed you that.

And so he wasn’t able to do anything but watch and be happy for you, as Beel did before.

Now it was his turn.

.

Simeon

Angels aren’t supposed to love demons.

Simeon dating you was an eyesore for Belphie.

He could see you were happy, a perfect couple one would say, but he couldn’t avoid being mad at Simeon for having it all.

A beautiful life, halo still shining brightly and you by his side.

So, even though he wouldn’t hurt you nor make you anymore unhappy than he had done the last centuries, he made the angel fall.

And when the angel stood by your side even when in condition to choose between the Celestial Realm and you, and then giving up his angelic status, Belphie understood... you’d be happy together.

And you deserved to be so.

.

Barbatos

Little mr perfect.

Diligent and loving.

Perhaps a bit cold thought no one would have said that when seeing the glances you two exchanged.

A demon who had his eyes and heart fixed on you ever since you came to Devildom.

And Belphegor couldn’t bear to watch you two.

He avoided you as much as he could.

He knew you were happy and that was enough for him.

Or so he told himself.

Perhaps one day he’d start to believe that.

.

Diavolo

He knew him.

He knew the Crown Prince would have taken the first chance he could see to steal you away and kill him.

But he also knew that his feelings were true and that he’d make you happy.

And so he now waited.

Spent as much time with his brothers as he could.

And when the time came for his punishment to be served... he was ready.

.

── ✩ ──

.

Angsty final:

He couldn’t believe it.

Beelzebub had taken the burden on himself and told him about your death.

And he couldn’t believe him.

It was the first time he didn’t believe his twin.

He knew he wasn’t lying.

But he wanted you to be fine so much!

He had let you go so that you could live happily.

Why did you die, then?

It made no sense.

He started making theories about it and tried anything he could to bring you back.

Beel wanted to tell Belphegor the truth but, afraid he’d blame himself, he said nothing.

So Belphegor started to destroy himself, obsessed by the thought of you.

Obsessed by the love he never got the chance to show you.

Warnings post-text

I do not suggest you hurt yourself for the first emotionally stunned jerk you fall in love with!

You can love whoever you want but do not let that lead your life!

And if you start turning into something you don’t like because of your s/o... try fix it or break up.

I’m personally a romantic jerk who doesn’t really notice people’s feelings but that’s not the point.

The point is: don’t become someone you don’t like to become more likeable.

Or because of love.

It’s like straight out lying.

.

Second of all: do not harm yourself in anyway.

I doubt my words are going to stop anyone who has such thoughts but I’m going to try.

Don’t kill/harm (in any way) yourself!

Ask for help!

And that comes from me, who hates asking help.

You are all beautiful annoying broken people!

If you’re in pieces just rearrange your life from zero!

If others try bring you down screw them!

God, your mother (who’s very similar to a Goddess), scientists or whatever gave you life and there’s no refund!

Live as you frigging wish (without hurting yourself)!

I have so many thoughts. SO MANY THOUGHTS.

Spoilers for Lesson 20 under the cut.

From a storytelling standpoint, Lesson 20 was kind of underwhelming for me. It was kinda boring.

Everything is totally resolved and then we have a party? And MC is given the completely pointless title of Devilsitter? And the Celestial Realm is just like yeah okay see ya.

Seriously, Diavolo? Everybody knows you just made that up. Also why did they have to give him that goofy hat? I think this would've been a little more impactful if he'd been in demon form, you know? Anyway...

It felt like we went through all of that for a whole lot of nothing.

It also feels like they want to tell a more complicated story and that's why this whole separate app situation began. But then they were like well we wanna keep some of the overall vibe, so it still has to have seasons and the first one still has to be twenty lessons. Like they should've just scrapped that and let the story play out how needs to. Because I felt like they were just putting filler in there so that they could extend the Nightbringer part of the story into the next season.

All that aside, though, there were things I did enjoy about the lesson, mostly involving the usual character shenanigans.

Sometimes it really feels like Simeon is just always on the outside, longing to be part of this family. He loves them so much he's willing to sacrifice his own standing to help them, but he also knows he's not part of them. We already knew this of course, considering he does exactly that in the OG to make sure MC gets to stay with them. I just feel like Simeon is so selfless. And it's kind of heartbreaking? I just want to hug him.

And oh, my sweet precious Barbatos... if you choose him to escort you, he says some amazing things.

YES. TAKE ME. I'M READY.

Is this the fancy butler way of saying I love you? Don't misunderstand, I am so soft for sweet kisses to the back of someone's hand, but if you think that's gonna cut it, sir, I really need you to try harder.

What can I say, I just want Barbatos to profess his undying love. I want him to break his butler persona and spill his heart out. I want him to actually tell us exactly how he feels and what he's been through and how hard it must have been to live the way he has for so long with the power of time and space at his fingertips. Ugh. Okay, sorry I'm getting off track here. We already know I could probably write another couple of essays about Barbatos aside from the one I've already written lol.

I would be remiss if I didn't talk about Solomon in this lesson, too...

I thought this was an interesting reaction from him when MC asks him to be the brothers' ally. Like yeah, obviously not against the human world, but this was about keeping the brothers in the Devildom? I'm trying not to read too much into it since it could just be that they wanted to make it seem like MC was the one who convinced everybody and stuff. Like okay whatever!

But truly the best Solomon moment was if MC chooses him to give them the "special emblem."

SOLOMON. My stupid wizard loving heart can't take it when you say stuff like this!

And then the forehead kiss, I was just like this is so soft and sweet I'm losing my miiiiind.

What can I say about it other than it was great? Of course I went back and chose all the options. Having Diavolo or Lucifer give you the emblem is pretty sweet, too. But there is just something next level about it being Solomon because of the whole master/apprentice thing, but also because he's the only one who knows what you're really going through. I just really love him, okay?

Lastly, I have to say I was a bit surprised with Mephisto in this lesson... he's starting to grow on me.

Mephisto! I'm pretty sure that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me!

For once, I agreed with him. Also, if it was actually me, I'd be like your arguments are pointless because my last dance is going to be with Thirteen.

I was expecting a little more after the end credits, but it was just a repeat of those weird Nightbringer lines from one of the earlier lessons... I can't remember which one it was. I was really expecting Nightbringer to make a final appearance, but nope.

The hard lesson completely blew my mind, though. I have to make a separate post just for that.

In the end, this lesson had some good parts, but it definitely just felt like filler because they needed to end the season. We're not getting any real answers until next season, apparently. I swear if I have to wait for a season three for some decent answers, I will be flipping tables.

Of course, I'm really just here for the hot anime characters so... I'll just go back to simping as soon as I'm done table flipping lol.

MC is Half Demon and Blah Blah Blah-

Time for the Group Retreat!

Part 1 Part 2 Lessons 1-5 Lessons 5-6 Lessons 10-12 Lessons 13-15 Part 3 Part 4

I’m quite hyped for this one, ladies, gents, and esteemed readers! For simplicity’s sake, since this is before M!MC and A!MC arrive, L!MC will go back to being referred to as just MC. Enjoy the Headcanons!

Since the previous Underground Tomb incident ended much less violently, Lucifer is now more worried than angry about MC’s rampant shennaniganery.

Like... his kid was poking holes in his totally foolproof “Your cow-uncle went to live on a farm in the human world” story. What if MC somehow got into the attic and got hurt?!

It didn’t help that they were still in this weird phase of their father/child relationship. On one hand, Lucifer obviously cares for his kid, and his kid likes him... but it’s also only been less than three months and we all know how emotionally constipated Lucifer is.

MC’s also getting REAL sus of all the secrets their dear old dad is keeping... doesn’t help that they STILL haven’t went up into the attic.

Anyhoo~ the announcement for the retreat was a barrel of laughs.

“I’m proposing, a group retreat!”

Everyone met Diavolo’s announcement with the exact same confused reaction. It’s like the entire assembly hall was doing the ‘Guy Blinking’ meme.

“A... group retreat?” Lucifer repeated slowly. “For what reason exactly, Lord Diavolo?”

The Crown Prince was giddy with excitement as he explained. “MC told me about their middle school overnight trip and it sounded like it would be quite fun!”

Simeon, Luke, MC, and Solomon were all seated next to each other in the ‘exchange student seats of less importance’. Luke leaned over and whispered a question to MC.

“Why are you so friendly with the crown prince?”

MC smirked and shrugged. “Lucifer had the Demon-Flu and couldn’t go meet with Lord Diavolo last week so I went for him. Lord Diavolo’s surprisingly bad at Connect Four but has really good luck in Snakes and Ladders.”

Luke’s jaw dropped in complete and utter shock and horror.

“We’re playing CandyLand and the Game of Life next time, want to come?” MC added.

“Play CandyLand... with him..?” Luke looked at Diavolo, who was still explaining his plan for the retreat, then looked back at MC. “I’ll only go to shield you from his corrupting influence.”

“Yeah... Corrupting...” MC had to hold back a laugh at the thought of Diavolo, who during MC’s visit lit up like a Christmas tree upon being called ‘Dia’ and believed that Mood Rings were the greatest human invention ever, being a corrupting influence.

“MC! Torture dungeon or no!?” MC was snapped out of their conversation by Mammon shouting at them from his seat.

“What?”

“Do ya think there’s a torture dungeon under the castle, or not?”

“I’m not sure,” MC turned to Diavolo. “Lord Diavolo, is there a torture dungeon under the Demon Lord’s Castle?”

There is in fact, no torture dungeon. Presumably...

Everyone packed up and headed out to the Demon Lord’s Castle!

The fabulous seven all broke several speed limits and traffic laws in order to be there early. Listen, they had to get there before Purgatory Hall, it was a matter of pride.

Besides, what’s the Royal guard going to do? Arrest six of the seven rulers of hell and a kid? Ha. No. Not when Diavolo controls their paychecks.

The rooming situation remained the same, Asmo, Simeon, and MC were roomed together, and MC got to watch Asmo get psychologically profiled by Simeon. It was truly a sight to behold.

MC was nice enough to assure Asmo that they really liked him and thought he was very sweet.

Asmo, not used to being complimented on his personality, almost started openly weeping.

So, the tour of the Demon Lord’s Castle began! Asmo got yelled at by his ex in the painting and the usual batch of idiots got sucked into the catacombs under the castle.

Lucifer wasn’t terribly sure how or if he should express his concern for MC being stuck in the labyrinth.

All these new fatherly feelings of worry are very very odd. He didn’t worry this much for Satan, mainly because Satan was usually the threat.

Even as a baby...

Lucifer found himself checking his DDD every few minutes to see if MC had texted or called from wherever the painting dragged them to, never mind that if they did text he’d hear the phone ding.

“Lucifer, don’t worry too much,” Diavolo patted Lucifer on the shoulder, a bright smile on his face. “Your brothers and MC will be perfectly fine! There’s nothing too dangerous in the catacombs that they wouldn’t be able to take care of.”

Resigning himself to the fact that MC was under the care of his last choices for babysitting, Lucifer put away his DDD. “I know they’ll be fine, but I’m not overly pleased with the situation.” He shot a glare at Helene in the portrait, who rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

“Lucifer worrying about someone, I’m truly, genuinely shocked.” Hearing Satan’s attempt at goading him, Lucifer, flawless demon that he is, resisted the urge to throw his DDD at his brother.

“Quiet, Satan.”

————

“WHY THE FUCK IS A SNAKE DOWN HERE?!”

“ITS HENRY 1.0!”

“YEAH THAT REALLY CLEARS STUFF UP, LEVI!”

MC and Levi continued their screaming match as the group ran for dear life from a giant snake.

Yeah... nothing the brothers couldn’t handle... sure, Lord Diavolo...

They made it out of the scary catacombs... don’t worry.

Lucifer did that parent-thing where he cleaned the catacomb dust off MC’s face with a napkin.

Yay! Parenting!

Failed pillow fight attempt #1 happened that evening. Because Mammon was obsessed with being the fun-uncle and saw his brothers encroaching on his place as favourite uncle.

MC doesn’t know how to break it to him that he’ll probably always be the favourite uncle and he doesn’t have to be such a dumbass to keep his spot.

Scavenger hunt went on as canon dictates.

Asmo had his diva tantrum and stormed off, but MC also wanted to win so they didn’t go after him.

Clearly expecting someone to go beg him to come back, Asmo was very annoyed when no one went after him.

“Um, helloooo? Anyone going to comfort me~?”

“Nope.”

“Well I don’t want your comfort anyway, SOLOMON.”

It was very close, L!MC insisted their loss came from sabotage. No evidence was found but just LOOK at Satan’s face.

Time for the Formal Dance~

If you’re wondering why Luke didn’t say anything when MC was suddenly poofed into their demon form, you’re assuming that Mammon wasn’t in on the “let’s prank the chihuahua” plan.

“Mammon..? Is MC behind you?”

“Nope! Why?”

MC was able to get to the other side of the ballroom with Luke none the wiser! Hell yeah, nothing like screwing with your friend!

So it’s canon that Lucifer is like, a solid 20/10, therefore MC is ADORABLE. What I’m saying is, some of the younger demons asked them to dance.

Asmo was also being MC’s hype man, which was very nice of him. Mammon also tried to give advice on how to be cool and suave. Beel was there for moral support.

“Alright kiddo, you need to be aloof and mysterious! People love aloof and mysterious, that’s why I’m so popular.”

“Don’t listen to him, MC. He flew into a wall as a kid and it killed all his brain cells. Just be proper but not snooty, sweet but not saccharine, friendly but not annoying,”

“Ask them if they want to share some of the hors d’oeuvres.” 

“Okay, first, aloof and mysterious are the last words I would ever use to describe you, Mammon. Second, Asmo I have no clue what you’re asking me to do. Third... Beel that’s the best advice I’ve received in recent memory.”

None of that mattered anyway because MC got swarmed with dance offers.

“Well,” MC smirked and held out their hand at the demon that was bold enough to ask them to dance first. “I admire the confidence.”

The demon’s smile brightened, then dropped completely when their gaze drifted behind MC. “I uh... on second thought... I’m gonna...”

MC’s potential dance partners all quickly scattered to the snack table. The half demon growled and turned around to see their father acting like he didn’t just scare away MC’s groupies.

“Father! What was that for?!” MC huffed, Lucifer rolled his eyes and grabbed MC’s wrist and began to pull them away from the dance floor.

“You’re too young to dance.”

“That’s crazy! They looked like they were my age.” MC protested, their wings fluttering in annoyance.

“Even if they looked to be your age, MC, they’re hundreds of years older.” Lucifer said calmly.

“What about that equivalent age stuff you told me about? Like how Luke is hundreds of years old but by angel/human standards he’s technically younger than me?”

“That doesn’t matter right now.” Lucifer lightly pushed MC towards the hallway that led back to their room.

“But I want to dance with someone!” MC felt their wings involuntarily fluff up.

Lucifer turned and smiled at his dear little brat, crouching slightly to get to their level. “Not on my watch.”

MC’s face was literally this: >:0

Lucifer is out here being the dad in every comedy that involves someone bringing home their partner to meet their parents.

MC was banished to their room, they spent their time angrily reading the manga they had packed.

When Levi escaped the party slightly later MC grilled him for details of what went on after they left.

“Nothing too interesting... except... um...”

“Spit it out, Levi!”

“...lrddiavlondlucferdnced”

“I can’t understand you, stop mumbling.”

“Lord Diavolo and Lucifer danced together...”

“...”

“...”

“I MISSED THAT?!”

So yes, MC’s desire to get a picture of Lucifer sleeping stems from VENGEANCE!

How DARE their father send MC up to their room and make them miss their OTP dancing together!?

So they call up their troupe of idiots and get ready to go be menaces to society.

MC also invites along Asmo because he seemed like he could use the adventure.

And because MC couldn’t plan the prank without Asmo noticing so it was better to just implicate him as well...

“Grrr...”

MC brightened and clapped their hands. “I know that growl!”

“It’s not my stomach, I packed snacks.” MC couldn’t see this, considering the room was pitch black (it must’ve been some kind of magic because demons have excellent night vision), but Beel waved a bag of chips in the air and got to eating.

“No, I’m not talking about your stomach, Beel.” MC skipped towards the source of the growling despite Mammon and Levi’s pleas for them to stop.

Ah! There he was!

“Cerberus!” MC cooed, the three headed dog stopped growling and barked happily. “Whose a good boy? Is it you?”

Cerberus let lose a bark that would probably make anyone crap their pants, but MC giggled and kept petting him. “Yeah! You’re the good boy! You like cuddles! Yes you do! Yes you do!”

A flash of light from a camera caused MC to drop their baby talk voice and stare angrily in the direction where the light came from.

“Whoever took that picture better delete it or I’m going to feed you to the dog.”

Cerberus growled in agreement. What a good boy.

“Well, as nice as this is...” Asmo huffed. “We’ve clearly been duped because this is not Lucifer and Diavolo’s room.”

“Oh well!” MC chirped and continued to pet the three headed dog. “Look at the doggy!”

“MC, you’re crazy. Dontcha ever forget that.” Mammon whimpered as Cerberus growled at him.

So yeah, they couldn’t get out of the room, so they ended up opening up the other door and falling into the catacombs like a bunch of lemmings.

Asmo charmed Henry, and they got out of the labyrinth no problem.

Yay! No consequences! Oh no- hi Lucifer.

Lucifer gave them all the mother of all lectures. Satan showed up with the rest of the gang and brought popcorn.

Belphie wasn’t there, okay? Satan needed to be a little shit for him.

Ah yes, the pillow fight... Mammon’s crusade to be the best uncle culminated in a massive pillow fight that ended with MC, Lucifer, and Diavolo standing over everyone’s unconscious bodies.

So they uh... won the pillow fight.

MC couldn’t sleep. They legitimately couldn’t. As exhausting as the pillow fight victory had been, everyone was snoring, and MC was bleary eyed and awake at one in the morning.

They eventually sat up and looked around, Asmo was passed out in a very unflattering position, Solomon was chanting god knows what in his sleep, Levi was half hanging off Simeon’s bed, Simeon and Luke were sleeping like angels (hehehehe-), Beel was in the middle of eating his pillow in his sleep, Mammon appeared to be dreaming about winning the lottery, and Satan was... suspiciously absent.

He was there a minute ago... weird.

Deciding that this wasn’t worth it and they should just go sleep somewhere else, MC got out of bed and avoided stepping on anyone as they vacated the room.

The Demon Lord’s Castle at night could rival the House of Lamentation in terms of overall creepiness. MC had gotten used to the spirits and curses that littered their home, but they had only been to the Demon Lord’s Castle once before, so they were extra careful not to accidentally touch anything. Their stomach rumbled and they frowned.

Damn, they had the midnight munchies... they needed a snack.

MC made their way to the kitchen and on there way, noticed a peculiar room through a half open door. Taking a few steps back to peek into it, they noticed... doors. A lot of doors. And ivy covered steps. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason to any of the placements, and the room was... weirdly chilly.

“You can come in if you’d like, MC.”

Barbatos’ voice nearly caused MC to hit a high note that they hadn’t been able to hit since their voice began to change. They straightened out their wrinkled pyjamas and stepped inside.

The butler himself was walking down one of the flights of stairs.

“Um...” Quickly remembering their manners, MC straightened their posture and cleared their throat. “Good evening Barbatos.”

Barbatos smiled and inclined his head in turn. “Good evening to you as well, MC.”

“How did you know it was me outside? You were up there a second ago.” MC asked.

“It’s a part of my powers. I can see possible futures, and I foresaw you passing by my room and getting curious.” Barbatos explained.

“Oh,” MC said, half nodding and continuing to look around. A the sound of a door closing out of MC’s vision made them squeak and look around for the source of the noise. “What was that?!”

“It’s nothing to be worried about.” Barbatos raised his hands in a placating gesture. “These doors in my room are gateways to different timelines and some are gateways into the past of this particular timeline. That was another version of me passing by.”

“Does this... happen often?” MC knitted their eyebrows.

Barbatos hesitated before answering. “Not really. It’s quite rare. Lord Diavolo has expressly forbidden me from using my full powers freely.”

“Ah... makes sense...”

“Now, I believe you came down for snacks?”

MC blinked in surprise. “How did you- oh... the time magic...”

“Yes, the time magic. Now, would you prefer yogurt and fruit, or apples and peanut butter?”

“Yogurt and fruit please!”

I’m sure MC’s knowledge of how Barbie’s room works will totally not come into play later. I’m sure.

Solomon and MC graced the brunch table with their cooking. I think you can guess how it would have turned out if Barbatos hadn’t intervened.

Rest In Peace to Beel’s tastebuds.

Anyway, the rest of the retreat was all fun and good.

MC may or may not have slipped up and called Diavolo ‘Dia’ in front of Lucifer. It would’ve sparked a lecture if Dia’s puppy-like excitement wasn’t so damn adorable.

Lucifer’s got a heart... somewhere... it’s probably all shrivelled up and tiny, but I’m sure it’s there.

Everyone went back home, brought closer together through... pillow fights and surviving Solomon’s cooking I guess..?

Anyway, MC got home, unpacked their stuff, watched Kakegurui with Levi and Mammon, let Asmo paint their nails, made and ate dinner with Beel, continued their piano lessons with Lucifer, and received a 100% fake smile from Satan.

It was a nice day with their new family, MC curled up in their bed and prepared to go to sleep.

“Help me!”

MC lurched upwards in their bed, whipping their head from side to side, trying to find the source of the voice. Their room was completely empty, the perks of being half demon extended to being able to see in the dark. No new smells either, they were alone in the room.

Auditory hallucinations were common before falling asleep after being sleep deprived, creepy, but not too unusual.

“MC!”

Okay- that one couldn’t be ignored. It was common knowledge that the House of Lamentation was definitely haunted in some capacity, but the ghosts never really bothered the demons living inside, MC was partly convinced that some of the ghosts didn’t even notice that the demons were there. So it couldn’t have been a ghost calling their name.

“MC! I need help!”

The voice reverberated through their head, like it was trying to hit every part of their skull to make sure it was at least felt if MC couldn’t hear it. MC massaged their scalp and got out of bed.

The House of Lamentation at night truly lived up to its haunted reputation. Cold, clammy, dark, even by demon standards. No spooky old house was going to scare MC though, they walked down the hall with their head held high.

They walked closer to walls and furniture, knowing that the floor was less likely to creak in those areas. How did they know that? Mammon had told them it worked like a charm. Well, it’d work better for him if he stopped tripping over the furniture and alerting Lucifer.

MC was much more nimble and careful, stepping slowly and lightly around the hallways until they reached the door to the attic. They reached out to clasp their hand around the doorknob, then froze. It smelled like…

Oh no.

MC leapt away from the door like it was rigged to explode if they touched it and practically dove for cover into an alcove. The all too-recent smell of Lucifer’s fancy cologne and the increasing sound of someone coming down the stairs made them clamp their hand over their mouth and crouch down.

What was their father doing up there?

He had said the attic was full of old junk and there was no reason to go up there, so why exactly did he-

The door slammed open and Lucifer stomped down the hallway back towards his room, MC presumed. They were about to let out a sigh of relief when the footsteps paused. MC felt their heart drop right into their gut when they heard the footsteps coming back in their direction.

What were they going to say to him when he found them? ‘Sorry! This isn’t where the bathrooms are!’ The last thing MC wanted was to add to their father’s ever growing list of stresses. MC was totally responsible and grown-up, their father didn’t need to worry.

MC clamped their eyes shut and tried to slow their heart rate. Demons were beings of darkness and shadow, they could blend in quite easily. They took a deep breath, cleared their head, and felt the shadows of the hallway shift and cover them like a blanket.

Lucifer’s footsteps stopped, MC heard a tired sigh, then the footsteps started up again, this time in the direction of his room.

They allowed themselves a sigh of relief before relieving themselves of their hiding space and opening the door leading to the attic staircase.

If the rest of the House of Lamentation was considered clammy, cold, and foreboding, the attic staircase was that multiplied by a factor of twelve. MC felt themselves shudder involuntarily when they stepped closer to the staircase. Every primal part of their brain was telling them to turn around and walk away, but one tiny part was holding them back. They placed their foot on the first step, waiting for any kind of resistance, nothing other than the feeling of passing through invisible cobwebs.

“MC?”

Upon hearing their name, MC craned their neck to try and get a look at what could be waiting for them at the top of the stairs.

“Are you coming, or not?”

The cascade of warning sirens that began to blare in MC’s head went ignored as they continued to scale the staircase.

When they reached the final step, they were met with a long hallway, with a single door on the right side of the wall.

“H-hello?” MC tried to instill some force into their voice, but it still ended up quavering a little.

“Down here.” Someone knocked on the wall next to the door, almost causing MC to jump.

Oh. Oh no. MC stood straight in front of the door, and when they saw who was looking back at them they nearly passed out.

“Belphegor..?”

Belphegor’s eyes flashed as he gave MC a once over. His eyes narrowed when his gaze snapped to MC’s. The analytical expression melted into a lazy grin.

“That’s me,” he said softly. “Nice to finally meet you, MC.”

Belly boops for the Side Characters! + Luke!

This is the second part to the Belly boop hc! You can find the first one here!

Something that I failed to mention is that I also do this whenever I seek reassurance bc I'm lacking confidence or something, so I included this here.

Keys: MC = your main character's name.

Summary: The Side Characters discover a peculiar trait of MC: belly boops.

Additional notes: MC is gender neutral!

Diavolo

It happened in a RAD council meeting of all places...great.

Diavolo was in the middle of his speech when he suddenly snorted in laughter; startling everyone in the room who then directed their eyes at you.

...Or more specifically...your finger still poking Diavolo's belly.

Turns out that the prince of hell is very ticklish.

You froze, not knowing what to say or how to react to the murderous glance Lucifer directed at you while Diavolo was still laughing in the background.

When he finally managed to calm down, he was very curious about why you had done such random thing?

—MC, is this some kind of ritual from the human world? a tradition, perhaps?

You struggled to find the correct words to explain your weird habit.

Wich was a bit hard, given the fact that Lucifer never once let his "I'm going to hang you in cerberus room" kind of stare fall off.

When you did finally manage to explain Diavolo the meaning behind such weird occurrence.

He let out a warm laugh and gently booped your belly back.

—Thank you for telling me, MC. Please, ignore what Lucifer has to say! I'll be more than happy if this becomes something usual between the two of us!—He said close to your ear, loud enough for Lucifer to hear but quiet enough for it to resemble a whisper.

From that day onwards, expect unexpected Belly boops from the Demon prince!

Barbatos

Barbatos had invited you to the Market to buy some groceries when you first poked him.

At first he thought you were trying to get his attention, so he turned towards you and waited for you to say something.

But you only returned his glance, confused as to why he had suddenly stop walking just to look at you.

When none of you said anything, Barbatos carried on, thinking perhaps it was a mistake and he must have imagined it or something.

But then a few moments later...he felt it again...

He looked down just to see your finger poking the side of his stomach, confused he looked up at your face; only to find the most casual expression ever, like if you haven't even noticed what you where doing.

He was a bit weirded out...but ok, he'll just put a little distance between the two of you.

After that the belly boops became a frequent occurrence every time you'll see each other.

He'll be bringing you tea...boop!

He'll be opening the door for you and...boop!

You'll be saying goodbye to him and...boop!

He doesn't like it, but good ol' Barbatos is too polite to tell you.

So he just...ever so discreetly dodges the boop, takes a step back or softly puts your hand away.

Unlike the other times, you did noticed you where booping him; but as he didn't seem to be bothered by it, you just continued.

Is not until Barbatos starts to do this things that you notice he actually doesn't enjoy it.

You decided to talk to him, apologize and explain that you weren't doing such thing to mock him or anything; but that you were doing it out of feelings of trust and a sense of comfort around him and that was your way to express it.

He smiles sincerely at you.

—If that's the case then feel free to continue, MC; I'm glad to be someone you trust.

And by all means you did.

Barbatos now quickly grows fond of your belly boops, knowing that such simple gesture signifies the strength on your relationship.

Solomon

Perhaps the first time it happened was while he was tutoring you in casting spells.

He was concentrated in explaining you the correct wording when he felt a light pressure in his stomach...it was your finger.

—MC, What are you doing?—he asked tilting his head in confusion, his gaze never straying from your finger still in his stomach.

You quickly put your finger away and tried to act as if nothing had happened, but Solomon never stopped giving you this questioning and confused look.

So you quickly explain to him that this is something you do with people you feel comfortable with, sometimes to unconsciously seek for reassurance.

You watched as a small smirk creeped over his lips wich each and every word that came out of your mouth.

—Ahhh~ I see~

And with that you realize, you might have committed the biggest mistake of your life.

Every time you poke him, his smile spreads wider than the Cheshire cat and his eyes sparkle with a glint of mischief as he proceeds to tease you endlessly.

But sometimes, when he notices that you poked him in seek of comfort or because you where feeling anxious.

He'll lower down your hand and intertwine his fingers with yours, holding your hand as long as you need to, letting you know...

That he'll always be there for you.

Simeon

Simeon had offered to wait for you and walk you home since you had cleaning duties to do and the brothers where all in a council meeting.

And as the two of you arrived at the house of lamentation, you offered to prepare some tea to thank him for walking you home; which he kindly accepted.

As you two where talking about your experiences in the devildom and laughing at the funny shenanigans y'all went through.

You unconsciously...just...boop! in the middle of the conversation.

Simeon froze for a second and stared down at where your finger met his belly.

Embarrassed you pulled back and tried to explain yourself. When all of a sudden...

boop! He had booped you back.

Simeon was overjoyed when you booped him, because you see...he's a boop person too!

Tho he's more used to booping people's noses or cheeks, he's still glad that you did what you did.

No need to apologize or explain yourself to him, there's an unspoken understanding between boop people!

He knows that not all people like it, and can be a bit embarrassing to try and explain why you do such thing, belive me he has had to explain himself to Michael more than just a few times...

For a moment you two share a glint of happiness and mischief, not needing any words to understand what's about to happen.

BOOPING WAR!!!!!

He boops your stomach mercilessly but you don't hold back either!

When the brothers arrive they just stare at the two of you in pure confusion.

They're so weirded out by this: you two poking each other's bellys and laughing and behaving like toddlers.

Lucifer tries to break off whatever weird contest you two are having...oh boi

—Simeon, MC! Why are you engaging in such childish behavior?!? Have you no...

—boop!

Simeon had just booped the avatar of pride in the nose...with sound and all...

You couldn't help but laugh at Lucifer's bewildered expression, but you weren't the only one...the brothers also couldn't stop themselves from laughing their butts off.

May god have mercy on all of you because y'all grounded.

Completely worth it tho...

Overall, Simeon is happy to find someone who shares his same habit and will always be glad to start a booping war with you.

Luke

Luke is just too cute! You couldn't help yourself and booped his stomach the second you met him!

—Hey! Quit it! What do you think you're doing!?!?

The puppy angy >:c

He has enough with Simeon's booping and now he has to deal with you?!?!

Slaps your hand every time you try to boop him.

I think Luke's feelings towards you booping him can be summarized in this:

If you find any grammatical errors let me know! I'm trying to improve my english and that would help me so so much!
