MC Changes Back

A/N: This has been on my mind for a little while. It's just taken time for me to find the motivation to write it 😅

Warnings: not proof-read; maybe a hint of suggestive content

-----

The morning had arrived at the House of Lamentation. As it was a weekend, most of the inhabitants took it as a chance to remain in bed for those extra hours. After all, no RAD meant no need to be awake at a specific time.

Lucifer had already started his morning. After making his rounds, silently checking on his brothers, the eldest had ventured to get the first coffee of the day. He took the peaceful moment to check his D.D.D for any news that may require his attention, before taking his mug to his study. The paperwork wasn't going to sign itself after all.

Satan had been the next of the house to disturb the peace. He was thankful that nobody was around as the demon had never been a morning person. With a yawn, the blond plodded his way to the kitchen to brew himself some tea. Satan had planned to take refuge in the library for the day, wanting to finish the series that MC had lent him. He hoped to finish it by the end of the day, so he grabbed his tea and started his plans.

The other brothers had yet to make an appearance out of their rooms when MC had awoken. Stretching, they hadn't realised how their arms seemed to reach higher than usual. With sleep-filled eyes, MC went to start their morning routine before leaving their room. It was only as they passed the full body mirror they had, that they realised something was different. Rubbing at their eyes, they finally realised what had happened.

They were back in their human form.

Their reflection confirmed as much. Instead of the fluffy pink sheep that they had been before falling asleep, a human stared back. MC was thankful when noticing that they were dressed in the clothes they were summoned in. Everything was the same actually, from their bedhead down to their slippers on their feet. Maybe they would have to ask the brothers about getting outdoor shoes, but that could wait. They smiled softly to themselves before resuming their morning routine, a skip in their step.

They couldn't help but wonder how the brothers will react to this transformation.

---

Lucifer

You had decided to bring the eldest brother a cup of his favourite coffee, an excitement that you didn't have to try and balance it blooming in your chest. Having two hands was much more convenient compared to the stubby hooves.

Lucifer heard the knock, calling for whoever it was to enter. It took the coffee mug being placed besides a stack of documents for him to look up with a soft smile. That had quickly changed to a look of surprise when he saw what had happened.

Instead of the usual fluffy MC greeting him, a beautiful human grinned down at him. Everything about you was mesmerising for the eldest brother. He felt unable to look away as his ruby eyes scanned your figure.

"MC..." He reached out to grab your hips, pulling you onto his lap. Work can wait for a while, right? "How about you show me what you can do with this body, hm~?"

Mammon

Mammon had finally decided to wake up and go in search for breakfast. His head was trying to form a plan for the day as he entered, making it so he didn't notice you sitting at the table already.

Grabbing a pot of his favourite ramen, the demon moved around the kitchen to prepare the unconventional breakfast. It was as he walked over to the dining table that the second-born noticed you.

Mammon had to double take, his mouth hanging open in shock. In fact, the demon had almost spilt his ramen on the floor when he caught sight of you. Cheeks hot and no doubt reddened, the Great Mammon quickly placed the pot on the table before trying to act cool.

You simply watched in amusement as the demon raked his eyes over your figure (or what he could see of it). He couldn't believe how attractive you were, so used to seeing the pink wool of your sheep form. You couldn't stop your own cheeks from blooming a soft pink at how he stared at you like you were a goddess, which you were to him.

"Y-You look good..." Mammon tried to hide the lower half of his face behind his hand.

Leviathan

You had agreed to an anime marathon with the third born, a mix of your favourite human world anime and his favourite Devildom anime. Levi had been talking about it nonstop over the course of the week, even ordering snacks from Akuzon so neither of you had to leave the room.

Levi was busy sorting out the setup when you knocked his door. With the password recited, you entered the room to find his back towards you. Leviathan called over that you should get settled on the cushions he placed in a pile.

What Levi had expected to see when he turned back around was the cute pink sheep MC cuddled up into the pillows. Instead, what greeted him was a human clutching one of the pillows to their chest, a soft smile on their face.

It took a few seconds for the otaku to process the information. But once he had, his face combusted a bright red and he began to ramble something about 'heart damage', 'gorgeous human', and 'how it was unfair'. You just watched in shy amusement, blushing at the gorgeous comment.

Moments passed in a blur before Levi had calmed enough to sit next to you to start the marathon. His face had yet to lose the red hue but he wasn't rambling about taking damage anymore, so progress.

"You should have warned me, MC..." Levi grumbled to himself, grabbing his Ruri body pillow. "An otaku can't take receiving this amount of damage from pretty humans..."

Satan

Satan had caught sight of your new form when he was going to refill his tea. You had been preparing yourself a hot beverage yourself when he entered. It caught him off guard, but he wasn't about to let you know that.

Recovering from the shock, the blond smirked as he approached you from behind. Where he would usually pick your tiny frame up and cradle against his chest, Satan instead wrapped his arms around your torso. He couldn't help the chuckle that left when you jumped from the contact.

Up close, he allowed his eyes to fully take in this new form. From being a pink sheep on arrival to Devildom, Satan would have to admit that he prefers this form much more.

"I've just finished the book you lent me," the demon seemed to purr into your ear. "How about you come and help me reenact a scene from it~"

Asmodeus

Asmo was wanting a day at a spa that had recently opened up. And who better for him to ask than MC? That is how he ended up coming across you trying to sort your hair out in your room.

Definitely the most excited to see your new form. In fact, the shock hardly registered in his mind as ideas for makeovers filled his thoughts. Asmo had already planned out a week's worth of makeovers for you when he approached.

Asmodeus found your new form just as adorable as the sheep. Maybe not as fluffy but it showed the most potential for him to uncover. The demon immediately took the brush from your hand before dragging you out of your room and towards his. His plans had suddenly changed, not that he was complaining.

"Oh, my darling MC~, we are going to get you looking almost as cute as me!" Asmo's eyes seemed to sparkle as he looked over your form again. "Now what colour would you like your nails~?"

Beelzebub

It was in the kitchen that this fateful encounter happened. Beel was looking for snacks as his stomach growled at him when you entered the room. You had decided to bake some goods that morning as you had the full use of your body again. And the timer was just about to inform you that they were done.

Beel watched you taking the treats out of the oven, his mouth watering as the scent entered his nose. He hadn't even realised that you had changed forms, too preoccupied with the freshly baked desserts. You informed him that they needed a moment to cool, but offered your pudding to the demon.

Once he had devoured the pudding, the treats had finally cooled enough to eat. Beelzebub seemed to take notice of how you weren't pink and fluffy when you placed a few of the treats on a plate for him. It didn't matter to the brother how you looked, but he would admit that he liked seeing your smile on a human face rather than a sheep.

"Your smile is beautiful in this form," Beelzebub complimented before eating the treats you offered to him.

Belphegor

Lucifer had asked you to wake the youngest up for dinner that night. Belphie had yet to leave the attic, meaning he hadn't yet seen your new form. Everyone had already gotten over the shock since then.

Belphegor woke up to the feeling of a hand stroking his hair. From the lack of hoof, he had believed that Beel must have come to wake him in an unusual manner. Cracking his eyes open, he believed he must still be dreaming when he saw you.

You couldn't stop the laughter that bubbled from you when you saw him smile dreamily up at you, mumbling something about a beautiful angel appearing in his dreams. Belphie seemed to wake up more when you poked his cheek, a grumble being his reply.

Fully awake, Belphegor was surprised to find you weren't a dream. Instead of the usual sheep (perfect for cuddling), you were a human in appearance again. He couldn't stop the smirk that tugged at his lips as his eyes roamed your figure. Slipping an arm around your waist, you were surprised that the demon had dragged you down to the bed.

"Dinner can wait, yeah?" He hovered his body over yours as his smirk grew. "I want to feel the new you~"

[C] Teatime with the Fae

It's been a long while since I last did a huge commission like this. While I didn't manage to meet the ideal time to finish this, not to mention it was started late from when I accepted the commission, I'm still pretty happy I was able to do something like this.

I used my Soft Speckled (as requested by client) for shading style. It honestly doesn't look like it's soft speckled due to how blurry and bloomy it looks, but it still looks nice.

This is a teatime scene of the client's character from a Final Fantasy game, having tea with the fairies and a carbuncle plushie.

Cultivate Taste Tea - Red Pearl

Though North Thailand as a tea cultivation region initially became popular for its Oolong teas, growers in 2011 for the first time produced red tea on the basis of the No.12 plant that already in its first year conquered the hearts of every tea lover, who had a chance trying this high-aromatic Northern Thai tea novelty. The carefully handpicked, processed according to old tradition, as the black tea is called by its ethnic Chinese producers in North Thailand, shows a clear rust-brown color in the cup, and the freshly infused tea's fragrance courts our olfactory senses with cocoa, nutty and bloomy notes and already anticipates the mild and still substantial aromatic taste of this tea, which is often compared to a dark roast Ti Guan Yin. We recommend an infusion period of well 3 minutes in order to fully assert the wide-facetted aromatic richness of this otherwise very mild tea, which suits very well for enjoyment in the evening, too. We always use environmentally friendly packaging of our teas. We never use candy, sugar, or flavorings in our teas.

[zoetekohana]

trying to find a way back home to you again ↪︎ or: in which taichi and mimi deal with the struggles of being far away from each other, wondering about each other, seeking each other and returning to each other. ( listen )

note: this fanmix is dedicated to @ex-machiina, my forever michi love, who had requested a fanmix about taichi and mimi on a roadtrip. 

gradually i diverted from said theme (i’m so sorry about that) because after watching kizuna i was more inspired to turn it into an angsty semi-ldr as taichi would travel a lot for his diplomatic studies and mimi for her online retail to sample as much different products as possible. due to them travelling so much for their careers, it would complicate them trying to be together as they keep needing to separate ways after being together and as they are still unsure of what they feel and want, and even more unsure of what the other might feel and want. lastly to give it an extra international feel i added non-english songs to the playlist. i wrote down in which language the lyrics are.

cover-wise: yes, i recoloured mimi’s white shoes to match with her dress (taichi was better accessorized than her) and her stockings to remove them all together because that flashy pink colour is not pretty. but most importantly i love how the bg represents an airplane window.

extra: a big thank you to @aarreplaneetta for suggesting the song “the bones” and giving me a second breathe to finish this project (as i was about to give up; i have been working on this project since march...) and to @aeonsofgrace for listening to my ranting.

i have also decided to share this as an entry for the michi summer weekend @taichixmimi because i am rather proud of this fanmix and even though it’s not really an “an outdoor activity” in my eyes they are actively searching for each other outdoors. yeah, no shame.

[keikakudori]

"It's so dreary in here, can't ya make it nicer?" The whine faded away, Gin was distant for a brief moment as though muffled instead by a shift in power, a memory, a dream. The black abyss bled away, chased by warm candlelight -- off into the storming night, raindrops pattering, a cool breeze. Muken was the night sky off in the distance, star-less, moonless, and here? Here was home. Fresh ink upon paper, a stack of papers organized neatly, a newly scrawled signature; a late night made productive whilst they schemed -- and Gin yawned out. Shifted to sit himself across from Aizen, who sat no longer upon a throne but rather matching cushions, one for each. Steaming tea between them, placed neatly.

"That's better. I never liked when y'sulked, you're like a kid poutin' 'cause he didn't get what he wanted." A hum, and Gin helped himself to one of the two cups of tea between them. The one he lightly held was broken, hardly suitable to carry the beverage defying the odds against a marring crack, unhindered, wrong. It had a cherry blossom painted on it, but the petals were not the right color. Too red. Too much red.

"A valuable lesson, though, ain't it? That y'don't always get whatcha want..."

A flash of blue, those eyes, cutting -- a deathly glare, piercing, vivid. Red, too much red, it began spilling out from the pottery, dripping down that marred cup, pooling from upturned lips as though crimson his drink of choice rather than tea. Splattering its trail, it continued down a pale chest and kept staining, spreading, growing across white robes. It soaked the mat beneath Gin whilst he sat proper, eyes aglow, locked to Aizen's. The bloodied liquid pooled outward, seeping into the flooring, each crevice soaked, till it threatened to reach Aizen's seat, too. The winds outside howled, the doors rattled.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

The candle nearby went out, cloaking Aizen back into darkness.

            ❝ is it dreary? i’m sorry, gin. ❞ he always prefers the rain, the thumping on it at the roof overhead. the rain is something he associates with pleasant memories. it’d been raining that night he’d made captain, after all. with warm sake and warmer hands offsetting the chill leaking in through the open shoji that allowed faint spits of mist to drift in over them. it was not uncommon for gin to drop by, to sometimes just opt to come back with him outright. no matter that he was captain of his own division now, aizen certainly wasn’t going to complain. no -- not like this.

            he always preferred these memories to others. did it change outside? a shift seemed to vibrate the world around them, a barely perceptible thing. it was nice, though, wasn’t it? his room was always nice, the air circulating, making that candlelight flicker. their nights together -- yes. when they schemed and talked, filling those lazy hours between work and sleep with one another’s company. sometimes gin would settle himself against his back, arms snaking past his head to reach down and try to interfere with the writing aizen was doing. if it was something personal, sometimes he allowed it and they would fall together, aizen seeking to punish between soft laughs. how gin always could make him laugh. but it didn’t seem that way tonight. it was comfortable -- wasn’t it comfortable?

            the tatami mats were made softer by those cushions, of how gin had fussed and he had neatened things, straightened them up and out. gin always fussed, sometimes, when he wasn’t getting enough attention. but he was turning now, turning to see him, taking in how he looked. beautiful -- always beautiful, when he had stolen one of his yukatas. in the way that he would wear it, the fabric draping differently. he knew if he tried, he could stretch his hands out, slide his palms up those legs, focus on them, on him -- that gin would coo in amusement, snark --

skip.

            the teacups. the teacups aren’t right. -- no. not right. the red shouldn’t be like that. it looks -- a blooming, a blossoming. red petals smearing underneath those fingertips, across the cup. when did it get cracked? he knows if he looks, he will see a crack elsewhere. upon gin’s chest, a fissure. no -- the tea cup isn’t supposed to be red like that, isn’t supposed to be seeping. not here. not now.

skip.

            ❝ a little kid--? me? ❞ it looked -- no. it was still broken. it isn’t supposed to be broken. not here. not like this. he thought he had fixed that. he wanted a quiet night. wanted to settle in with gin, get told to come sleep. they couldn’t do that if it was broken -- but it refused to unbreak. 

that y’don’t always get whatcha want--

skip.

            those eyes on him, bright, vibrant -- distorting -- changing. blood pouring onto the floor, the scene around them btoh seeming to change, to shimmer, his eyes never leaving those of the blood as the vermilion soaked into the tatami mats, his hand moving as if he is going to stop the flow of it, to dam it up. not like this. not tonight. not when it is them and rain and tea, something that he always used to enjoy the noise of. 

            the rain is thumping on the roof. it is thumping, harder, louder -- a growing noise, a roar, a thing of --

            his soul. is it his soul that is the rain? pouring down over the roof, weeping? no. he doesn’t want to remember. he doesn’t want to leave here but the blood is flowing, pouring from gin’s mouth, from his chest, he can see it and smell it, knows that his own hands are covered in it, that HE is covered in it. why would he not be covered in it? it’s only natural. didn’t you end me? didn’t you see fit to ruin it? us? but i ruined us first. i ruined us because of i am what i am. i am a monster, aren’t i? but you never shied away from me. you embraced me. cooed at me. i let you in. i let you close.

            the thumping is there, a pulsing race, a beating -- gin staring at him, eyes locked, his mouth opening, parting --

            his name. he has to say his name. he has to. before he goes, before he leaves-- 

            not again not again please gin not again -- i’m so sorry i’m sorry I’M SORRY--

skip.

skip.

skip.

skip.

...

            teeth in his neck, claws in his chest-- there, the eyes of blue, gazing down into his own, wrathful, furious -- but still he wanted to bare his chest, his neck, if only it would make him stay. IF ONLY IT WOULD MAKE HIM STAY. IF I LET YOU EAT MY HEART, HERE, NOW, WILL YOU STAY? WILL YOU BE CONTENT TO STAY IN ME? WITH ME? 

DON’T LEAVE ME IN THE DARK, GIN. DON’T GO--

skip.

                ❝ GIN--! ❞

            a howling in the dark, an echoing, a soul screaming and screaming and screaming -- he had to say his name. he had to say it he had to keep saying it it was his sin to remember it was his sin of hubris of pride of vanity of wrath -- he had to say his name. he had to. let them stopper his eyes, his ears. let them try closing his mouth. his soul would still scream. he would chew on that name until his tongue rotted and fell out. he would carry it inside himself, trying to use it to piece together where his soul had torn, where he had torn, he had not known he was tearing himself and yet he had he had-- 

what did i do to us?

if i don’t say his name, i will forget. i will forget. the color of your hair. the smell of your skin. your teeth in my neck. gin -- gin! come back to me, gin! please-- PLEASE-- 

                           sometimes they said you could hear the howling in muken. howling on and on, endlessly, without cease -- day and night. in the dark.

the screaming of a soul that would be ever eternal. ever remembering.
