Sin and blood.3
ll 550 words ll ft. Belphie comforting you after you show up filthy and bloody on the steps of the HOL ll angst/comfort ll x reader ll Levi's version ll Asmo's version ll
Your first mess-up was awkward. None of the brothers had expected you to ever snap. But you did, and it was only natural. Living with literal demons only made the clock tick closer to your eventual sins.
It wasn't like you hadn't 'sinned' before, according to the vague moral lines that were set by human societies. You've sneaked items past check-outs, looked upon others with hatred, and lied to those with power. None of that makes you less human.
What you did however, was demon-worthy. You returned to the House of Lamentation with shame and the remaining anger, now mostly pointed at yourself. You didn't mean to break. You didn't mean to break anything. You didn't want to harm them.
Red-faced, with blood still dripping from your fingers, clothing drenched with however many liquids, you stood in front of them. There was no sound other than the drips, slowly creating a puddle on the ground. As the puddle grew, he was the first one to move.
Belphie understood it. Sometimes things become to much. Sometimes there's only one thing you're able to do. None of that makes you less deserving of love. He hurried to your side, and hugged you tightly.
"How about I get you washed up, huh?" He looked at you. His eyes weren't filled with resent or hate, but with the utmost care and love. You softly nod, and feel his hand take yours. Carefully you two walk to the shared bathroom. Nothing was nor has to be said as the uncomfortable air was slowly thinned by Belphegors fingers caressing yours.
Upon arrival, Belphegor headed to the shower, placing a stool just shy of the waters stream. While you unclothed, he made sure to check the waters temperature to your liking, and grabbed some shampoo and conditioner that'd make your hair soft and proper again. While getting everything he'd think was needed, he also put on some music on his DDD. It was a soft and calming nature sound, making the place feel all that more comfortable and at rest.
Finally naked, you approached the still clothed Belphie in the shower. "These clothes can get wet, no need to worry your pretty head." He said smiling, clearly already having picked up on your confusion. "I just want to take care of you, so don't worry about me right now."
As you sat on the stool, Belphegor grabbed the showerhead and started wetting your hair. Holding the head with one hand and slowly massaging your hair with the other, most of the filth began to wash away. It was rare to see Belphie this focused, and especially on such an admittedly active task. As he continued washing the rest of your body, placing a few kisses here and there while carefully scrubbing away everything that was unpleasant, you felt more and more of his love.
Once he was happy with your state, he also began to towel you dry. "I can't cuddle with you if you're still all wet, now can I?" To some, this might've looked like he was just using your misfortune to get in bed with you, but you knew better. This Belphie, caring and soft, was as true as he could be. You knew that whenever you need him, he'll be there. If it's genuinely a serious case, he'll do anything to help you. Plus, getting to spend time together in bed afterwards wasn't a punishment at all. He'll pepper you with kisses and you get to do the same to him, once again filling the room, and your heart, with love and peace.

not negating that chris eccleston had a bad time on dw and rightfully wouldn't want to work with that team again for his own sake (minus billie i assume), but i have reservations about people in fandom jumping on the "yeah rtd is a dick who's incredibly hated in television actually, it's just a big secret," train when i have never heard anything to that effect outside of this working relationship that ended poorly and that as far as im aware rtd has never spoken about, so it's still a relatively private affair (of which we know a scant few details/that rtd didn't stick up for eccleston when he needed that support). i mean, he might be the worst guy ever, i've never worked with him, but i don't think the people saying this have either, and i think it's way too easy for people to assume the worst and go looking for confirmation bias, because it can justify their own dislike of rtd as a showrunner or his return as pure "nostalgia baiting" (that's another post). but yeah, if i see one more person go "oh i just have a feeling he's probably an asshole actually and the fact that we know that eccleston doesn't like him (as if that's new news) confirms that" as a roundabout way of going actually his era of the show wasn't that good or that him coming back to the show is a mistake, im simply not taking that seriously. just say you don't like the writing or whatever, don't make up a guy to personally dislike. there'll be another showrunner after him.
