Dear Army of AshholeS, (💜🫰))

*Bow addresses the audience*…but only really wants to talk to Ashy. As usual.

I don’t want To Be. I don’t want to take actions to not be: to hurt others. I want to feel different. I want to feel home. I want to feel insides that aren’t cold and achey. Like every child should. Like every one should. I don’t want to try. I don’t know how to try when I don’t even know what I am trying for. And everything I do is exploited for gains that I don’t feel or desire or even know about? How is that even Kim possible??? I don’t understand and I feel crazy again. I want to die. I’d rather die than be psychotic and out of control. I don’t feel out of control. I don’t think I’m psychotic. I don’t even want to use the internet, it barely even does the making me feel better part anymore. (It’s not escapism when it’s youism I guess). YouTube!Now it mostly makes me feel bad. Why. I don’t understand why stars know me. Or seem like they do. And also do not. And show up in my life, but don’t do friendship or mentorship or any rescue ships. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. it means I don’t matter. I also don’t disagree but it’s definitely WORSE for them to agree. All of them?! I’d rather have not been aware of their knowledge of me at all. Spinning in circles and everyone telling you to take a step and watching to see stumbles and dizzy falls. Directions don’t matter. It’s dizzy bat. Every step feels stupid and embarrassing and like an immediate mistake. My trash bag of bones needs to go. To be taken out. It’s not even MY chore. I’m. A. Lady.

It’s too heavy. I wanna forget me. Too.

I can’t.

Why won’t you let me be invisible again? Why won’t you prove too me I’m more than your

It’s too heavy. I wanna forget-_

Why won’t you let me be invisible again? Why won’t you prove too me I’m more than your pet fan object? Why won’t you GET OUT of my head??????

---------------------------------

At some point, I wake up. I hear the sounds of soft snoring beside me.

I laugh as I see Diavolo sprawled out on my bed, fast asleep.

I'm still a bit sluggish but I feel much better. It really must've been exhaustion that made me sick. I wonder how long I slept and carefully get out of bed. Tiptoeing around to not wake Diavolo. He looks kinda cute like this. It's hard not to poke his cheek when he is looking so peaceful.

I look at the clock and realize that my classes have already started. For a moment I panic when I see a note on the clock.

You are taking today off to get better.

I asked the brothers to bring you today's homework later.

-Diavolo

I smile at the poorly written note, he probably did it in the dark with only his phone light.

I suppose I should go and take a shower now. Even if I'm resting today I feel somewhat sticky.

Just when I'm about to turn around I see Diavolo opening his eyes. He looks at me with sleepy eyes.

"Good morning. You can keep lying. I will take a shower." Somehow this feels nice. Waking up like this, besides him.

"Good morning. Are you feeling better?" His voice sounds muffled, he must be still waking up.

"Yes, thanks to your great care I'm feeling much better." I show him an energetic smile.

"I'm glad." He smiles at me. "I guess I'm doing pretty okay for a big brother after all." He still seems to be half asleep but these words hurt more than I expected.

"You do." I press the words out. "I will take my shower now." I rush to the bathroom.

I'm a true fool after all. Not only can't I see Diavolo as my brother but my feelings for him only grow.

Then there is also the fight between him and Barbatos that troubles me greatly. Both of them are very important to me.

Liking two people like this at the same time is serious trouble. Especially since they both see me as master and sibling respectively.

What a mess. I could use some real advice.

I sigh and step into the shower. Trying to clear my head while cleaning my body.

It's refreshing and the thought of breakfast makes me forget my other troubles for now.

I dress and go back into my room.

Diavolo is sitting on my bed. He must need a long time to wake up. It's endearing somehow. I sigh at myself, I need to stop this.

"Ah, you are done. Breakfast came while you were away. Shall we eat together?" Diavolo stands up and walks to the already set table. It doesn't look like Barbatos work, it's somehow rather sloppily done.

"Of course, but why won't we eat in the normal room?" It seems a bit strange to me.

"Well, that is because I don't wish to see Barbatos right now. I had No. 2 serve us breakfast today." Diavolo is still hung up on what happened yesterday.

"You know that you have to see him eventually, right?" It seems somewhat childish to me, even when I understand how much this must've shaken Diavolo to his core.

"I know, but not now." He sighs and sits down at the table.

I shake my head, I need to help them to make up.

We both eat in relative silence.

Diavolo seems to have a lot on his mind and so do I.

After we are done he looks at me with a grave expression. "I fear that I have work to do."

I saw this coming. "I'm much better so you don't need to worry. I will just rest until I get my homework. I need to catch up on devil tube. Yesterday the demon brothers told me all about it." I gently reassure Diavolo.

"I'm glad to hear that. I will make sure the brothers will give you your homework and you promise that you will stay here." He looks at me pleading.

"I won't move. I promise." It's easy to agree with him since I'm still a bit tired after all.

Diavolo nods and pats my head. As nice as it feels he seems to think of me as a child or something of that nature.

It's frustrating.

"I will trust you. Get as much rest as you can. If you feel in any way off by the evening you will take tomorrow off as well." Diavolo is usually stern with me.

"Alright." I know he is only worried and so I agree.

This seems to relieve him a little bit at least.

Diavolo then looks at me one more time before returning to his duties.

I lay on my bed, scrolling on my phone through some comments under devil tube videos when I hear a knock on my door.

"Come in ," I yell.

The door is slowly opened and I see Barbatos peeking his head in. "I'm not sure if you wish to see me but I felt the need to apologize to you in person." He looks very pale like he didn't sleep at all.

"I want to see you, don't be silly and just for the records I don't blame you at all." I smile at him to strengthen my point.

Barbatos steps into my room, closing the door behind him. He has a cart with snacks and tea.

Probably his way of apologizing to me.

He slowly makes his way towards me. Then he pauses a good distance away from me as if being close to me would be a bother to me.

"It's my fault since I should have seen it. Not just because I should've been able to see that future but also because it was so obviously dangerous. I can't state enough how much I have failed you." His face looks like it's frozen or rather like he is in deep pain.

"Even if you were there you couldn't prevent any possible outcome. I mean there is always a small chance I die. Humans are fragile after all. I could slip on the bathroom or something. It's not possible for you to protect me 24/7 and to be honest, that wouldn’t be what I want. I need to do my own thing and I like to be alone too." I try to approach this from a logical angle.

"That might be true, but I always prevented any likely harm to you. I always tried to lead you down the path of least likely harm." Barbatos seems to have a hard time telling me this.

Now a few of his strange requests make sense.

"So you were saving me without me even knowing it? Thank you for that." It's very nice of him for sure.

Barbatos nods. "Sadly for some reason, my ability seems to weaken when it comes to you. I'm not sure why. Usually, nobody is capable of surprising me at all but you somehow always do." A short-lived smile appears on his face.

"I see but then you are even less to blame. No matter what you think I don't blame you at all." I can understand his guilt but I miss the old Barbatos.

"I appreciate the sentiment but honestly I was thinking of stepping down as your butler. I can't serve you properly." His face mirrors deep pain.

I also gasp at his words. "There is no way that I'm willing to accept this!" I raise my voice.

Barbatos seems to be taken aback. "But master, I cannot give you the full protection that you need. I failed you."He is serious.

I can't just let Barbatos quit. His duty is so important to him and he always works so hard to make me and Diavolo happy. Even when that also creates a gap between us.

"I can't stop you, but I will not accept another butler or maid to serve me." I look at him with determination.

"But Master, you need someone to serve you." Barbatos frowns.

I cross my arms. "Too bad, if I have to have a servant it can only be the best and that is you." I'm stubborn but I'm also right.

Barbatos sighs, he seems conflicted. "Even master Diavolo told me it would be better if I wouldn't come near you anymore." These words seem to hurt him.

"Diavolo is just very scared that this might happen again. I think it's easy enough to prevent though. And regardless of his feelings, my trust in you is unmoved." I voice my feelings for him.

the

Barbatos closes his eyes. There must be many things running through his head right now.

"Be honest, would you want anyone else to serve me?" I know his answer could hurt and I brace myself for that possibility.

Barbatos opens his eyes, they aren't wavering at all. "No." Then he pauses a moment. "I would not like that one bit. I believe I'm the best to serve you." His pride as a butler has not been broken at least.

I nod. "I feel the same way. Even if you can't see every possible future I want to keep you as my butler. I care deeply about you and there just can't be anyone else." I let my true feelings slip a little bit but it looks like my words reach him.

He smiles gently and steps closer. He kneels on the ground just before my bed. His eyes focus on me.

My cheeks grow hot. He is so close.

"May I keep being your butler despite my countless failings?" He asks in a very humble-sounding voice.

"You may, in fact, I order you to do so." I do my best-spoiled brat expression.

Barbatos then takes my hand and kisses the back of it. His lips feel cold but pleasant.

"I swear I will do whatever I can for you. Whatever order you give me will be fulfilled." Barbatos is earnest, this exchange is very intimate. I can feel the weight of his promise.

"I gladly accept you as my butler but don't forget that I also see you as a friend." And potentially more but I don't mention that part.

Barbatos nods and smiles softly. "Thank you for your kindness."

At least he seems more normal now, but the rift between him and Diavolo is still very much there. I need to think of a plan.

But first I want to eat the delicious snacks that Barbatos has brought me.

"Why don't you join me for some tea?" I feel like it's been forever since I saw him.

He looks a bit surprised for a moment. "Very well, I have some time for that." Then he smiles and prepares the table for us.

I slowly stand up and sit down across from him. The treats all look so good. "With what should I start?" I ask this more to myself.

"I recommend these fresh hell berry tarts, they are best when still slightly cold." Barbatos points to them.

They look very good. "Alright, I will start with them."I take one to my plate and take a bite. "Wow, you were not exaggerating. This is the best tart I ever had." I pretty much have stars in my eyes. It is that good.

Barbatos chuckles. "It was well worth the time I spent then."

"Did you see this in one of your visions too?" Now you wonder if all the food was so good because of that.

"No, as I said my ability isn't working on you and I'm quite confident in my skills. I was certain you would enjoy this. Even when I didn't expect you to love it this much." He smiles at me full of confidence.

I like this Barbatos much better. "I always love your food. I might become the avatar of gluttony at this point." I laugh.

"You still are far away from that plus it's good when you enjoy your food this much." He smiles gently.

"If I'm becoming fat you take responsibility." I tease him slightly.

He simply nods. "I will."

I didn't expect this straightforward

It's somehow embarrassing so I just continue eating to avoid that feeling.

Barbatos seems to just watch me the entire time. I'm about to complain about that when he suddenly touches my cheek.

My cheeks heat up instantly. It was just a light touch that didn't even last longer than a second but it still surprised me.

"You had some cream there." He smiles sheepishly at me and licks his finger.

This feels very intimate to me. "You should eat the tart instead of the cream on my face." I try to hide my ever-hot cheeks and ever-growing emotions.

"You are right but it might taste better this way." Barbatos nonchalantly takes a tart of his own.

"You are pretty cheeky sometimes." I mostly blurt this out, but it is true.

"Only to those close enough to me." Barbatos calmly looks at me after saying such words. My heart skips several beats.

I'm happy that he feels this way about me. Though it's still bugging me that he always manages to embarrass me. He isn't as bad as Diavolo in that regard but he is very troublesome in his own right.

Then suddenly I see an opportunity for payback.

I quickly seize my chance and wipe a bit of cream off his lip. His surprised face alone makes it all worth it.

He simply stares at me, mouth agape.

"You had some cream there." I smile and lick the cream off my finger.

Barbatos cheeks turn crimson, a full success. At least until I realize that this can count as an indirect kiss.

Now we are both embarrassed.

So I guess it ends in a tie today.

Anon asked: is anybody particularly connected to death? whether it's just been common for them to witness, or possibly something that they have influence over? it might help to weed out the ghost, or even just shrink the pool of suspects.

(Aaaaand part 2! The silent parties are basically the ones Not Present to ask for one reason or another, they've moved away from the rest of the group but can still receive individual asks)

Makkea: …

Belphe: ………...

Cilone: Death is n-thing unusual in my neighb-rh--d, if that c-unts. H-wever, y-u must understand… I live in a neighb-rh--d -f b--rish murderers f-r the m-st part. It's terribly c-mm-n f-r deaths t- happen in highbl--d areas.

Hiraeh: Well, I used xo see ix a lox, before I moved underwaxer… Bux ix’s been sweeps since xhen, I’d kinda like xo hope I haven'x been dead all xhis xime.

Hiraeh: Waix if I was xhen xhax violex bixch probably would sxop boxhering me already. Ok nvm, if I did die ix was ax leasx more recenx xhan xhax which is bexxer xhan noxhing I guess.

Hiraeh: Oh, speaking of fishbixch… Belphe’s in cahooxs wixh her of all people.

Hiraeh: /-/e yeexed who knows where so he's nox gonna answer xhis bux. Yeah I'd say he's almosx definixely gox some connecxions xo deaxh, direcxly or indirecxly I bex he’s had his frond in some shady shix.

Quirk free:

Makkea: …

Belphe: ………...

Cilone: Death is nothing unusual in my neighborhood, if that counts. However, you must understand… I live in a neighborhood of boorish murderers for the most part. It's terribly common for deaths to happen in highblood areas.

Hiraeh: Well, I used to see it a lot, before I moved underwater… But it's been sweeps since then, I’d kinda like to hope I haven't been dead all this time.

Hiraeh: Wait if I was then that violet bitch probably would stop bothering me already. Ok nvm, if I did die it was at least more recent than that which is better than nothing I guess.

Hiraeh: Oh, speaking of fishbitch… Belphe’s in cahoots with her of all people.

Hiraeh: He yeeted who knows where so he's not gonna answer this but. Yeah I'd say he's almost definitely got some connections to death, directly or indirectly I bet he’s had his frond in some shady shit.

[thedeliverygod]

oh hey I did a prompt finally. This is about white day, suggested by @masked-bixch

“Wait right here.”

Yato had blocked the entrance to the stairs and gently guided her back into the living room, leaving Hiyori both confused as well as nervous. Most of his surprises were relatively harmless, but he had definitely had a few that were wildly inappropriate, so she made sure to stay on her toes.

“Um… Ta-da!” His voice made her lift her head and she saw a small bouquet of sunflowers, daisies, and a blue one she couldn’t place. “These are for you.” He said a bit more nervously as he held them out.

“They’re beautiful!” She nodded gratefully and cradled them lightly against her chest, “But what are they for?”

Yato hesitated and swallowed, “You don’t know what today is?”

“Huh?” She answered automatically as she racked her brain. It was no one’s birthday, the anniversary of when they met wasn’t until the fall…

He seemed genuinely shocked, pushing, “You didn’t see anyone doing anything at school today…?”

Hiyori hummed as she recalled everyone did seem to be a bit giddy today and after thinking about it more, she did remember Yama’s boyfriend dropping into their homeroom to give Yama a present. “Oh.” She said aloud as the realization clicked, “It’s white day.”

“Y-yeah.” He swallowed nervously again as he twisted his hands together.

“So, um,” She fumbled over her words before she managed to form a sentence, looking down at the flowers instead of at him, “I recognize the sunflowers and daisies, but what are the little blue ones?”

She wasn’t quite sure as to how she wanted to respond quite yet, so she avoided the subject.

His voice was so quiet and unsure, she barely heard him, “… Forget-me-not’s.” When her head snapped upward at his answer, she saw his face was absolutely crimson as well. “It was actually the florist that picked those to pair with the other two, but, uh, what’s the harm in a bit of irony…”

“Y-Yato…” She clutched the small vase a little tighter, her cheeks starting to warm as well, “Thank you.”

“Are you familiar with hanakotoba?”

Her eyes flickered back to him and she blinked, “I know the concept, but I, um… don’t know the meanings of those flowers, if that’s what you’re asking.”

He inhaled, “Right, okay. Well sunflowers are respect, adoration… Daisies are faith, and, uh, forget-me-nots are surprisingly not self-explanatory. They can stand for a lasting connection and true—true love.”

Hiyori stood silent for a moment before she gently reached out to place the bouquet onto one of the shelves to her side. As she turned towards Yato, he looked down and to the far corner of the room to avoid her eyes. She cupped the side of his face and murmured, “It’s perfect.”

At first, he visibly tensed at her touch and she began to pull away before she heard him ask quietly, “Really?”

“Mhm.” She nodded shyly as he finally locked eyes with her. His eyes were wide, a mix of what seemed to be anxiousness but mixed with a new excitement. She was sure she looked much the same, her heart fluttering against her chest. And his lips were so close; she’d been finding herself staring at them more and more as of late, but now she felt as if she were in a trance. Before she even knew what she was doing, her lips had pressed gently against his. Yato seemed frozen, in shock, and she quickly pulled away, “A-ah, I’m so—”

She didn’t finish before his lips melded against hers, sweet and feather light. His hands hovered at her sides, seemingly unsure as to whether or not that was too much. Hiyori reached down to reassure him, pressing his hands at her waist and leaning into his touch with a smile.  When he pulled away, he tightened his hold on her and buried his face into her neck, “Hiyori…”

“I won’t ever forget you, but…” She gripped his shoulder, balling his jersey in her fist, “Don’t… Don’t ever leave me again, okay?”

He nodded against her and pressed a firm kiss against her collarbone, “I won’t.”

---------------------------------

Then Solomon approaches me.

"Hey, are you still up for your lesson?" I assume Barbatos warned Solomon.

"Yes, I'm fully fine." I stand up and smile.

"I'm relieved, once I heard what happened to you, I was worried." Simeon chimes in from behind. I notice Luke is there too, standing a bit awkwardly in the background.

"Hello, Solomon, Simeon, and you too, Luke. I didn't expect you all to come." It's a strange combination for sure.

"We are roommates, so we go home together." Solomon seems completely unbothered by this.

"I hope we aren't a nuisance." Simeon looks a bit guilty.

"Not at all, I wanted to get to know you better anyway. I have never seen an angel before, so I'm rather curious. I'd like to know more about you two." I smile at both angels. When else will I ever get the chance to do this?

"I feel a bit left out." Solomon sighs.

"I'll gladly answer any questions. I'm pretty curious about you myself. Especially since Solomon is anything but a regular human." Simeon smiles in a very polite way.

"We should have tea together when we find time, and I'm looking forward to getting to know you too, Solomon. You are pretty interesting as well." I don't want to offend Solomon, of course.

"That sounds great. I heard that you live in the castle. I wonder how that happened?" Simeon knows things that are supposed to be kept secret, but with this many people in the know, it's not a well-kept secret for sure.

"I can't talk about it much in public, and I hope you can keep this a secret. I will gladly tell you in private, though." I can't be sure who is listening after all.

"I see, we all have our circumstances. I didn't mean to pry; I'm just curious." Simeon tracks back. He seems very polite, but I sense it's more that he is on guard around me. I can't blame him for that, of course.

"No offense taken. I just need to consider my safety, plus the people I care about." I gently smile at him. This seems to help.

"I'm pretty curious myself, even when I heard about the story from Barbatos." Solomon glances at me.

I can't help but wonder what Barbatos told him. "I wonder how you got to have a pact with Barbatos. I'm sure that's an interesting story." I glance back at him.

Solomon shrugs. "Not as interesting as your pact."

He knows about that part too, but I can't imagine why it's so strange to him. He has a lot of pacts himself, after all.

"Regardless, you should ask Barbatos if you want to know." He casually keeps walking. It's probably just a game for him.

"So, how do you like the devildom so far?" I wonder how it must be for angels to be here.

"It needs some adjustment of course, but it's rather entertaining. I think Luke is having a hard time adjusting. I wonder if there is anything that I can do to help him." Simeon sighs slightly.

"Don't talk as I'm not here." Luke huffs from behind you.

"The devildom is very lovely. I'm sure you both will get to enjoy it soon enough. You should come to visit the palace too. I'm sure Barbatos will be delighted to share some devildom sweets with you." I casually invite the angels to make them feel welcome.

"That sounds nice. I'm looking forward to that." Simeon seems to be all in.

"Barbatos is the demon prince's butler, isn't he?" Luke chimes in.

“Yes, his skills are very impressive. It wouldn't surprise me if he knew some angel desserts too." I gladly talk about his skills.

"I wonder about that." Luke huffs.

"Sadly that will probably have to wait, though." I sigh, remembering the argument between Barbatos and Diavolo.

"Is Diavolo still mad?" Solomon seems to find it amusing.

I can only nod.

Simeon looks at me with curious eyes, but doesn't comment on it.

Finally, we arrive at their dorm.

It's somehow very angel-like. I can't describe it differently.

I'm sitting down on a comfortable couch.

With Solomon across the table. Simeon is off to make us tea, Luke just awkwardly looks at us, a clear distance between us all.

"So, I'd like to talk about your training. To be completely transparent, I never had an apprentice. I'm pretty sure I'm not a good teacher, especially seeing how my last attempt turned out. You will be better off with someone else. So knowing that, do you still want me to teach you?" Solomon looks straight at me, his expression is completely sincere.

"There aren't any other human magic-users around, and your methods are effective with me. I admit it's a bit too effective, but I don't blame you for that. I don't want another teacher." I smile slightly at Solomon.

"Very well then. Since water and fire are both elements that are very strong for you, we shall start with something else. I'd say wind or earth but the idea of a storm or an earthquake is equally unappealing. So we start with something completely different. Healing spells." Solomon looks at me amused.

"That's probably for the best, but how do I stop before it gets out of control?" He is of course right.

"That is something we will have to work on for sure. I'm very curious how you experienced you using magic. That will give us a clue." Solomon seems to be careful when choosing his words.

"Here is some tea for you. Should we leave you alone with your discussion?" Simeon is back with a tray with tea and cookies.

"I don't mind telling you, but I'd hate to ask you to keep a secret if it makes you uncomfortable." I know this could mean that they might have to lie.

"That is very considerate of you. I don't mind keeping a secret at all, but I think sharing these should be done in a comfortable environment. Not something as part of your lessons. Let's move this conversation to later. Luke, come, let's do our homework for now." Simeon is very polite and he is very kind.

"That sounds like a plan." I nod in agreement and smile at him.

He and Luke then leave the room.

"Alright then. Back to what we were talking about. First the fire incident. Just describe how it felt and what you did." Solomon just moves right to the lesson.

I sip my tea. "I did what you told me. I closed my eyes and pictured energy coming from the seal. It felt warm, and then I tried to focus the flow of that energy into my hand. Then someone yelled and when I opened my eyes there was a fire."

Solomon nods. "So imagining warmth somehow caused a fire. Was there anything else in your mind at that time?"

"Not really, I mean I wanted to do some magic in the lesson. So I tried what you recommended." I had to focus pretty hard, so nothing else crossed my mind. "Oh wait, I think I started to feel hot everywhere but especially in my arm," I recall the feeling, and it felt pretty good at that point.

"Did that feel bad to you?" Solomon takes a long sip while his eyes seem to study me.

"No, quite the opposite." It's a bit embarrassing to admit.

"I can guess why you caused a fire then. Well, let's move on to the water incident." Solomon calmly smiles, at least he seems to know something.

"Can't you just tell me?" I wonder why he has to be so mysterious.

"There would be no fun in that, and it's only a hunch so far." He calmly shrugs and grabs a cookie.

I can't tell if he is serious about this at all.

"When I was at the water, I first tried to get a feeling for the water. It's flow and power. I just held my hand into it and felt how it felt. Nothing happened at first. I only felt some warmth from my seal. So I thought that water spells just work differently. So I tried to let it flow more freely. Then I felt the water inside of me. That helped too. It felt like a bubble was forming around me. It wasn't bad at all until I couldn't breathe anymore and I panicked. I lost control after that and somehow ended up in the river." The experience still scares me.

"Sounds like the water spell was controlling you rather than the other way around. That happens sometimes during training. Though usually not right at the start. I think it's pretty obvious what your core problem is. Can you guess what that is?" Solomon smirks at me.

"That I have no clue what I'm doing?" I'm not quite sure what he could mean.

"That is also part of the issue but no I think it's you using only power that isn't naturally yours, without training on top of it. I mean it is very impressive that you are able to do this, but the power of the demon of your pact is simply too powerful for you to control." Solomon lays it right out for me.

"I see, so I should just learn to use my own power?" His words make sense, the energy I felt must've been Diavolos.

"Basically yes. We just start at the basics. And focus on healing spells just in case. They won't do harm if they go out of control at least." Solomon implies that I will still lose control, but with my record, I can't even defend myself.

"Ok, so you are going to teach me?" Somehow I'm still unsure about this.

"Yes, I think it will be pretty entertaining, to be honest." Solomon looks at me, seemingly very pleased with this.

"You seem to be someone who thrives by using visuals to guide you. With healing magic, you only need to picture to heal the injury. Before that, we need to connect you to your mana. I will try to help you with that part today." Solomon, has it all figured out, it seems.

He is a strange one, but somehow I feel like he got this so I decide to trust him.

"We should sit right across from each other, hold on." Solomon gets up and drags chairs into an empty space.

I stand up and sit in one of them.

Solomon sits right across from me, our knees are almost touching each other.

"First you close your eyes." Solomon seems unbothered by our closeness so I stay very calm myself.

I just follow his instructions.

"Good, now breathe deeply. Focus on the feeling of the air that goes into your lungs." Solomon starts with something very easy.

I breathe deeply, this somehow reminds me of Barbatos’ lesson.

"Next try to imagine the air mixing with your blood. Then focus on the blood flowing through your body and transporting the air everywhere." Solomon speaks calmly, and it feels a bit like one of these guided meditations.

Admittedly I was never good at those, too many thoughts would interfere, much like right now.

"Now where do you have a feeling for that, I will take your hand and give you just a small amount of my mana." He proceeds to take my hand.

I almost hank my hand away, but I know it's for training.

Then I can feel something entering from his hand. It's not warm, it's a bit cold and tingly.

"Now follow the flow of that mana. Don't influence it, just watch it flow." Solomon must be worried that I burn him or something.

I feel some guilt about his comment.

After a while, I feel it flowing through my whole body. It's not super pleasant to me but I endure it.

"Do you feel it gathering anywhere?" Solomon then asks me.

"It feels like it's everywhere." I'm unsure what he is expecting.

"Hmmm… interesting. Would you mind if I take a tiny bit of your mana?" Solomon seems to be very entertained.

"Sure, if you think that it will help." I feel somewhat nervous about him taking my mana, I'm not even sure why.

"It will probably feel a bit strange. Just try to think of it like a doctor's visit." Solomon sounds even more cheerful now. I'm sure he wears a huge grin.

Then I feel the mana that Solomon gave flowing back into my hand and leaving my body. Somehow I'm relieved that it's gone.

"Huh? How interesting. That certainly explains a few things. You can open your eyes again now." Solomon seems to have figured something out.

"What did you notice?" I can hardly wait for the reveal.

"So you don't seem to have any mana, actually let me correct that, you somehow seem to be able to absorb other people's mana. That's very interesting indeed." Solomon looks almost giddy.

"What do you mean? Didn't you say all things have some mana?" His words make no sense.

"That's how it usually is, but there are some things that absorb mana. You simply are one of them. It's very interesting but that means that I have to rethink your whole training. This will be so much fun." Solomon gets up from his chair. His mind is somewhere else.

"Wait, are we done for today then?" It almost seems like he completely forgot about me.

"Oh, yeah sure. See you next time." Solomon walks out of the door, mumbling something about books.

I'm left feeling baffled.

---------------------------------

After finishing all of the baked goods it's now time to clean up.

"Let me at least help you with cleaning up." Barbatos gives me puppy dog eyes, probably well aware that I can't resist them.

"Okay. I'll let you do this much." I can't decline.

"I wish I could help but there is this pile of papers on my desk." Diavolo had originally planned to work all night but now that he is on better terms with Barbatos again he will probably get scolded for that.

"It would be wise to catch up on them." Barbatos sounds more like his usual self again as well.

I feel great relief about this.

"I can't have you come back just to slack off now can I?" Diavolo sighs.

"Go ahead, we'll finish everything here." It's not a lot of work anyways.

Barbatos nods and starts to put the dishes on the cart.

Diavolo leaves us, somehow he seems sad that he can't help us. I feel like he must really hate his paperwork. Not that I blame him.

Barbatos calmly stacks all of the dishes while I remove the other decorations.

"It's a shame to take them all off." Barbatos is looking a bit sad at the small pile on the table.

"They wouldn't be special anymore if we always kept them. It's like Halloween decorations. Wait, do you celebrate Halloween?" Suddenly I realize that they may not even know about it.

"I heard about it. It's a human-world tradition. I think these days humans dress up to party or go trick and treat." Barbatos gives me a summary of what he knows.

"Yeah, but the most important thing is the spooky decorations. Well, I personally always celebrate with snacks and a scary movie." I laugh.

"I see we should celebrate Halloween then this year together. I'm sure Diavolo will go all out for this." Barbatos chuckles lightly.

"I'm already looking forward to it. Maybe we should have a haunted castle party." I started looking forward to it.

"That sounds interesting. We also should make some human delights. I saw some bat-shaped cookies that I'm curious to try." Barbatos smiles at the idea.

"That sounds great. We also need to dress up." I can already picture it somehow.

"Yes, there are many lovely costumes that I'd like to see you in." He has some ideas already, it seems.

"I also have some ideas for you and Diavolo." I laugh.

"I'm looking forward to those as well." He smiles and I now notice it's an honest and truly happy smile.

"You really look best smiling like that." I can't help myself from saying this.

His cheeks flush pink. "Thank you." He sheepishly accepts my compliment.

We head to the kitchen and put all the dishes into the washer.

Our work now is done. I somehow feel a bit reluctant to leave just yet.

"Do you have free time after this?" Barbatos asks me an unexpected answer.

"Of course, I have the whole day off." I wonder what he could need me for.

He smiles. "Great, there is this place I'd love to show you."

"I can't wait to see it." My curiosity is awoken.

Barbatos looks very pleased and soon I go beside him towards a place in the castle that I haven't seen yet at all. It looks older than the part we are living in.

He unlocks a door and I find a spiral staircase in front of me. "What is this for?"

"It's one of the towers. What I want you to see it's at the top." Barbatos remains mysterious.

With growing anticipation, I climb the stairs until we finally reach another door. Barbatos opens it for me with an elegant motion. "After you."

I step through the door and find myself at the top of the tower.

A gust of wind hits me. I notice that we are pretty high up.

I go closer to the huge windows. Then I see the city sprawled out in front of me. It's a magical sight. The lights of the city seem to dance in front of me. I stare at it in awe. "This is amazing." I turn and smile at him.

"I'm glad you like it. I was thinking of the garden at first but seeing this reaction I was right to bring you here." Barbatos smiles proudly.

"I love the garden too, but I have never seen the devildom like this. It's truly amazing." The lights continue to sparkle and I can't stop looking.

"The truly amazing what you manage to accomplish in such little time. I could have never seen such a thing. Even when my ability worked fully." Barbatos steps next to me. His eyes look towards the horizon. I follow his gaze. I wonder what this looks like through his eyes.

"You are much more amazing than me. I only do what feels right to me." I feel a bit sheepish.

"That is one of the things that make you amazing. Even when you sometimes could put more thought into your actions." He smiles slightly ruefully at me.

I can only imagine how much trouble I caused him. "I'm sorry. I will try to do better." I bow towards him.

Barbatos chuckles. "I would appreciate that, but I think I'd also lose a piece of you. So just stay as you are." He looks at me with warm eyes. I don't think they were ever this warm.

"I can do better without changing who I am." I already work on that after all.

"If I may speak frankly for a bit?" This is a strange request from him.

"I thought you already did that, but go ahead." I can't help but chuckle.

Barbatos nods. "I'm sometimes scared of where you might be heading towards, but at the same time, I also can't wait to see what you might be able to achieve. I have done a lot of thinking especially ever since I was so close to losing you." He takes a deep breath. He seems to recall that day so clearly. His fear is so clear to me.

I put my hand on his. It feels cold.

His eyes look at my hand over his. His expression is very serene. "I wouldn't be able to lose you. That's why I have come to a decision." Suddenly he removes his hand from mine and before I can react to that he kneels in front of me. His eyes look up at me. "Master please enter into a pact with me."

My breath stops for a moment. I didn't expect this, especially not like this.

"Are you sure?" I ask the first thing that comes to my mind.

"Yes, I have never been so sure about anything else." His eyes gleam with determination.

"Don't get me wrong there is nothing that would fill me with greater pride and joy, but you know I can't even control Diavolos' mana." I can't even imagine how much more power I'd gain with him as my partner.

"I understand that completely, but I have full faith that you can master using both of our mana within no time. Despite a pact between us would mean that you only need to think of me and I will know. I will know whenever you are in danger. If you say my name I can appear right away to be at your service." Barbatos has put much thought into this.

"Your support really means everything to me. I will gladly enter into a pact with you Barbatos." I can't argue against him. Especially not now.

Barbatos is delighted. "I'm truly happy, thank you very much, master."

He takes my hand. I start to feel a bit nervous.

Barbatos places a kiss on the back of my hand.

It makes my whole face burn.

A sensation starts to sprawl from my hand into my body. The pact between us is formed.

Color starts to appear in front of my eyes. A calm and gentle green. A green much like Barbatos eyes. An image starts to form in my mind.

A wide and spread out forest. Old mysterious trees overgrown with moss and vines. Serene, quiet but also strong and filled with much life and energy.

This is what represents our pact.

The image doesn't disappear until Barbatos lips leave my hand.

"Wow, that felt so different." I feel somewhat strange, like everything has changed but also feels the same.

"It was truly an experience." Barbatos gets up from his knees and calmly smiles at me. Then he looks past me. "It looks like our pact has made quite the impact." He chuckles.

I turn around and see vines have spread behind me.

"What? How did that happen?" I look at it in awe. They look just like in my vision.

"I guess I somehow tapped into your earth element. Quite interesting. I guess we are a great match." Barbatos smiles a bit mischievous.

"I had no clue something like this could happen." Not that I have much experience, but it makes me happy.

"I will name these after you." He chuckles.

"Is it really okay to leave them like this?" It looks like they reach far down the tower. They might become an issue.

"Of course, they are quite beautiful. I will take great care of these plants." He looks fondly at the plants.

"I'm fine with that, as long as they don't become a nuisance." In the end it's Barbatos' decision.

"Don't worry about it. Let's go back down now before you catch a cold." Barbatos smiles warmly at me.

"Yeah, let's go." I suddenly feel a bit jiggly in my legs.

"Oh, you used too much mana. I will carry you." This is clearly not a request.

"I think I will be fine on my own." I feel a bit self conscious.

"You aren't comfortable with me carrying you?" He looks like a beaten dog. He really has mastered this technique.

"No-no, I just don't want to inconvenience you." I almost take a step back from his attack.

"You don't have to worry about that at all." He takes a step towards me and before I know it he carries me like a princess.

I'm so embarrassed that I can't protest. So I just reluctantly let myself get carried all the way to my room.

It's not bad at all of course. The way Barbatos carries me feels very nice. So nice in fact that I could get used to it.

It's just really embarrassing and I hope nobody sees me.

Barbatos lets me down in my room. He looks very happy.

"Thank you for bringing me here." I say with my face still red.

"No problem." Then he peers into my eyes and leans closer to me, just to touch my forehead. "You aren't hot, that's a relief."

"I don't have a fever." I feel embarrassed.

"Rest anyway. I will bring you dinner later." Barbatos doesn't even let me reply.

He just leaves me a blushing mess.

Sometimes I wonder if he knows what he is doing.

----------

Finally, we got to the pact with Barbatos. I hope this was satisfying to everyone who was waiting.

It was for me.

---------------------------------

The class ends uneventfully and it's now time for lunch. I study my plan and see I have magical training next after this.

I sigh deeply. How am I supposed to survive a class like this?

"Not having anything they like on the menu?" Beel sounds concerned.

"No, I was just thinking about my next class. It's magical training." I frown.

"Ah I see, I have that class too. It's not always easy to keep control." Beel wants to make me feel better, it seems.

I appreciate his help. "It's just that I don't think that I'm capable of doing any magic at all."

"No way. Everyone has a bit of magic inside of them. You just need to train to get access to the power within." Levi shakes his head.

"This isn't a shonen anime Levi." Mammon already has a tray of food with him. Making Beel drool.

"He isn't wrong though. It's just a matter of training." Satan also chimes in from the side. Then he leans closer towards me. "Besides we all know about that pact of yours so even if you hadn't any magic now you do."

I'm not surprised they all know. It's probably to keep me safe from others.

"I don't know how to access that either," I whisper back at Satan.

"We will figure it out. I mean it's nothing to frown about and ruin your pretty face." Asmo just arrived and seems to indicate they will be supporting me.

"That's very nice of you. I just can't fail a class you know." I sigh.

"Too much pressure in my opinion. We also need to hurry before Beel eats everything." Belphie points at the huge pile on Beel’s tray.

"You are right, nobody can think with an empty stomach." Satan agrees and so you are all lining up to get food.

I have no idea what to choose from.

"You should try the buffo steak." Levi points to it.

"No, try the seven sin salad. It's very healthy and filling." Asmo objects.

"I'm just going for the soup today. I'm too tired for anything else." Belphie yawns.

"Just take the golden shrimps. I mean, look how much they sparkle." Mammon chimes in.

I have no idea why he is even here since he has food already.

"Just take a bit of everything," Beel says with a full mouth.

I shake my head. "I see everything is tasty. I will go for this dish, please." I order with a smile the item that looks the best.

"Ohhh, great choice. It even comes with a dessert." Beel is still chewing.

Everyone else just moves on to their own choices.

Once I'm done I'm looking for an open table. When my eyes meet Mammon's, he waves me over. "Hey, come sit here."

I awkwardly make my way through the tables.

"They aren't a dog you know." Levi giggles.

"I hope I'm not a burden on you." I sit down beside Mammon. "I won't say anything to Diavolo if you aren't including me." I don't want to be a bother to them.

"Nonsense." Belphie shakes his head.

"Yeah, like Lucifer can order us to do exactly what he wants." Satan sneers.

"I would never eat with anyone who I'm not interested in." Asmo winks at me when he sits down next to me.

"You better be grateful to the great Mammon." Mammon boasts.

I can hardly stop myself from laughing.

"Don't say that Mammon. We just hope to become friends with you." Beel smiles in between bites.

I smile at them.

"Now that is more like it." Asmo grins and we all eat together.

I feel very welcome by them, it's nice, even when they are all a bit strange.

After being full I'm on my way to my next class.

I see a group of students around a white-haired guy. He somehow catches my eye, maybe it's because he somehow stands out between the demons.

He meets my eye and gives me a short smile.

"Hey Solomon, I thought you were going to miss the first day." Satan knows the guy.

"I made it somehow. You must be the other human exchange student." Solomon seems friendly but I somehow feel on guard around him.

"Nice to meet you. If you don't mind me asking how do you know Satan?" It seems a bit strange to me.

"That's because I have a pact with him," Solomon answers very nonchalantly.

My eyes go wide. "Wow, you have a pact with a pretty powerful demon." I'm quite curious to know how this even happened.

Solomon chuckles. "To be exact, I have pacts with 72 demons."

"72? That's a huge number. Are you collecting pacts or something?" It seems like a ridiculous amount.

Satan laughs at this. "You could say that. He got pacts with Levi and Asmo too."

"What can I say? I might just like making pacts." Solomon shrugs like it's no big deal. Then he looks at me again, like he is now truly seeing me for the first time. "You seem to be a pretty unique one yourself. I mean it's not been that long and you have a pact of your own. I might have some competition at this point." He seems to be able to sense my pact.

I wonder if he knows who I made my pact with? I almost shiver from that thought.

"What can I say, I adapt fast." I try to be nonchalant about it but I'm unsure if it works on him.

"Oh, I don't know much about how humans access their magic, you might be able to help them." Satan has thought about this, it seems. Which is honestly pretty nice of him.

Solomon thinks for a moment. "It's been a while since I learned how to use magic but it's different for everyone. It's like pulling energy from the elements around you. Since you have a pact you can also draw power from that. You can do that by recalling how you felt when that magic force entered your body. I can give you some pointers later. I'm staying at Purgatory hall by the way." He seems to want to help me out.

"I will try that. It's just kinda hard. I tried to feel my power but got nothing." I sigh.

"That's normal with beginners. You are probably best off trying to feel magic power from another strong force. Like a fire or a waterfall. Maybe even a strong demon." Solomon smiles calmly.

"You might want to exchange numbers to make it easier for everyone." Satan's suggestion is really good.

"That's a great idea." I exchange information with Solomon. I have questions for him, even when he seems a bit shady.

"You are awfully eager to help the new student Satan. Are you into them?" Solomon grins suggestively at Satan.

"Do I look like Asmo to you? They gave me a very nice present. I'm simply returning the favor." Satan denies it, but not very strongly.

"A present? That's interesting." Solomon looks at me with glee. "That's certainly one way to gain favors for pacts."

The class bell saves me from the rest of this conversation.

The magic class is very hard for me. I can't do a single thing. Even when it's very easy.

Solomon aces every task and Satan just seems to be there to assist the teacher.

I wonder why Solomon is even here, to be honest. He is clearly not very frustrated. I want to manage just one spell. Then I recall Solomon's advice.

The memory of my pact with Diavolo is still fresh. I recall the warmth that his energy left within me. The sensation on my back. I start to feel the warmth from my back. It seems to work.

I calm my excitement and focus on that feeling. It seems to be spreading. I feel warmer, I try to imagine the energy going into my arms and hands. It's like a river in front of my inner eye. Warm and red flowing through me.

I close my eyes, getting lost in the feeling. It's flooding me slowly.

Then someone yells out in fear. My concentration breaks and I open my eyes.

In horror, I see flames in front of me. I set a table on fire.

Behind me, I hear Solomon laughing.

"Omg! I didn't mean for this to happen!" I panic and frantically look for a fire extinguisher.

"It's alright, I can handle this." The teacher steps in and the fire dies down. "Are you alright?" He seems worried.

"Y-Yeah." Other than shaking from the shock, I'm fine.

"I think they should be set free from the rest of the class. I will bring them outside for some fresh air." Satan sees me shaking.

The teacher nods.

We go to a bench outside and we sit down.

"That was quite something. Usually, it takes until lesson six to set something on fire." Satan chuckles lightly.

"Not helpful." I sigh and look at my own hands. I never thought I could summon such powers. It's kind of scary.

"You don't need to beat yourself up. Diavolo is extremely powerful so it's no wonder that by tapping into his powers you cause such destruction. To be honest it could have been way worse. It's awesome that you could do it on the first try so all you need is some practice." Satan tries to cheer me up and I'm grateful for that.

"I hope you are right. It was so scary. I didn't even realize what I did." I wonder if I will be able to control it next time.

"Maybe just imagine water next time? Oh, wait then you're probably gonna flood us all like Levi." Satan chuckles.

"Levi floods stuff?" This sorta surprises me.

"Yeah, he always summons Lothan when he is very upset and then the whole building gets wet." Satan sighs.

I have a hard time imagining it. "Seems pretty reckless."

Satan shrugs. "Living with demons is just like this. When I get very angry I destroy stuff all the time too. It's hard to control my anger in my demon form. We all might seem cool and powerful but our sins are also a weakness." Satan smiles ruefully.

I nod. "I see, thank you for sharing that with me." Somehow it helps to know that they also screw up.

"Just be prepared for the lecture from Lucifer if you get into trouble. Well, maybe in your case it will be Diavolo scolding you. No, wait, that's too hard to imagine. Who is doing the punishment in your home?" Satan seems genuinely curious.

"I haven't gotten in trouble yet, but I somehow feel it's Barbatos." He is at least punishing Diavolo, it seems.

"I can see that. I wonder what he will do in that case." Satan seems to imagine a few things.

"Who knows, but I certainly don't want to find out." I giggle slightly.

Satan nods and we sit for a while on the bench.

It's nice of him to keep me company.

School is probably pretty good after all.

I feel like I made a few friends and I guess it can only get better from here on out.

—------—---------------------

Once again I hear a knocking sound.

This time I manage to open my eyes. "Come in." 

I fully expect it to be Barbatos. 

I slowly get up in my bed. 

Just to find the ever-smiling Diavolo in front of my bed. 

My eyes widen from the surprise. "D-Diavolo." I'm tempted to cover myself, but I'm fully dressed. 

"Hello, I apologize for interrupting your nap. Barbartos told me that you had a rough time and might not wish to see him, and I kind of forgot to give you your new phone this morning. So I volunteered to pick you up." Diavolo swiftly explains the situation. 

I feel slightly steamrolled. "I forgot about that too and I'm not mad at Barbatos. He couldn't know how weak humans are." I can only imagine how much more powerful demons are. 

Diavolo chuckles. "When I was trained I had a very difficult time. I'm sure I broke down crying the first few weeks." 

"That's pretty surprising. I can't even imagine you being sad." I wonder what that would look like. 

"I get sad too sometimes. I was hoping that you wouldn't ever get sad for as long as you are here." Diavolo has a complicated expression. 

"Why do you care about me so much?" I'm very curious about this. 

Diavolo is surprised by my question. He takes a hand to his face and thinks for a moment. Then his face lights up. "I always wanted a sibling, so I'm just really glad that finally, I got one." 

His straight answer surprises me. "You are a pretty strange one."I blurt out without much thought. 

Diavolo shrugs. "I'm just glad that you are being so open towards me."

"I should say that to you." I giggle. Diavolo makes it very easy to feel at home in such a strange place.

  Then suddenly my stomach starts to rumble, my cheeks flush with embarrassment. 

Diavolo lets out a heartfelt laugh. "Seems like it's time for lunch."

"Sure, seems like it. I should change my clothes first." Suddenly I realize that I probably stink. 

Diavolo doesn't seem to mind or care at all and just keeps casually standing in the middle of the room. "Alright, I will just wait here."

"Wait outside! " I state firmly with some force in my voice. 

Diavolo looks very troubled for a brief moment. "This must be the feeling of exclusion I have heard so much about."

  I'm unsure what to even say to this statement so I slightly glare at him. 

Diavolo sighs and leaves. He is a big puppy. At least he listened to me.

  I decide to wear something comfortable and leave my room. 

I find Diavolo texting someone. 

As soon as I open the door he smiles at me as nothing happened.

"I hope you didn't wait for too long."

"No problem, and here is the phone. Before I forget again. I assume you know how to use one?" Diavolo seems to be his usual self. What relieves me of my slight guilt. 

"Of course. Who doesn't?" I genuinely wonder and put the phone in my pocket. 

"You would be surprised." Diavolo shrugs and we head to the dining room. 

Somehow I thought they had a separate lunchroom. 

Barbatos is waiting for us. His smile is polite as always. Somehow he seems slightly off. 

Does he really think that I'm upset at him? I can't imagine that at all. 

I smile at him and sit down. Honestly, I'm starving. 

"I'm very sorry for all the pain I have caused you earlier. I intend to train you and not to break you." This must deeply concern him. 

"The training is very hard and honestly the physical training has almost killed me. I think I now have a good picture of what is considered normal around here. So I will just move on and hope that I will get strong enough to pass the king's trials. I sure hope he won't give me a physical exam at least." I made up my mind not to mull over this and just move on. My fight has only just begun. 

"I love your attitude. This is exactly why I'm glad to have you as my sibling." Diavolo nods proudly. 

"I can only agree on that and I swear with my help you will overcome every obstacle that is in your way." Barbatos seems back to normal and bows towards me.

  I feel motivated by both of them. 

Then my stomach rumbles again, causing me to blush once again. 

Especially since both men let out loud laughter.

  Barbatos seems to give me an extra big portion of everything today. 

Miraculously I finish everything, including the two extra servings of dessert. 

If the demon king won't kill me then my cholesterol will.

  I feel very satisfied when my meal is over. 

"I'm glad to see that you have such a healthy appetite. I was a bit worried about you yesterday." Diavolo has a kind look on his face. 

I feel slightly embarrassed. "Actually the amount I ate yesterday would be considered normal for human standards."

"I think your remark was pretty rude my lord," Barbatos whispers loud enough for me to over hear him. 

Diavolo seems confused and I can't even look at him right now.

"I'm just glad that you enjoy the food." Diavolo is clueless sometimes. 

"We should continue our training. We have much to do since we moved our dance lesson to later." Barbatos reminds me in a seemingly cruel way. 

"You're right. I hope to see you again later Diavolo." With a slight sigh, I get up. 

"Yes, same here. Hang in there. I have faith in you." Diavolo puts a hand on my shoulder. It almost seems like energy is flowing from his big hand into me. My cheeks flush again. 

"T-thank you." I hold the urge back to call him big brother since that feels wrong to me. I don't have a shred of familiar feelings for him. 

"I also have faith in you to finish your tasks without my help, my lord." Barbatos looks sharply at Diavolo. 

It seems to be a critical hit since Diavolo looks very desolate. I feel bad for him. 

"I will." Diavolo sounds very weak. 

Barbatos sighs just a little and then turns to me smiling, as usual. "Let's start our next lesson."

  I feel a sense of dread but follow Barbatos regardless. 

Soon I find myself in a huge library. I also spot some strange looking trinkets. 

"This is our library. We also have some items here that are helpful with magic. First, we have to see if you have any latent magic in you." Barbatos goes to one of the trinkets. It looks a bit like a big pot with some wires sticking out from it, there are also some big gemstones on it.

It's pretty gaudy and I look doubtful at it. "What does this thing do?" 

I narrow my eyes at it. 

"You simply put your hand here and then it will tell us how much magic energy you process and what element is the most prevalent in you." Barbato points to a huge gem in the center of the potlike thing. 

I somehow wonder if it will do anything but I put my hand on it anyway. 

Then I wait and Barbatos looks at it. 

  I'm about to remove my hand, due to the lack of response. 

Then suddenly the pot starts to shake and hiss. Out of reflex, my hand moves away. 

Then suddenly smoke comes from it. With terror, I look at Barbatos. "Did I break it?" 

Barbatos has a hand on his chin. "It looks like it."

  I feel panic rising. How can he be this calm? This ugly thing was probably expensive. Will he expect me to replace it? 

I stare at Barbatos, waiting for a reaction. 

"This certainly was unexpected but I guess it's to be expected that my master is extraordinary." Barbatos smiles at me. 

"So umm what does that mean?" I meekly ask. 

"Well, it means that your magic is unmeasurable. I have never experienced it myself so that can only mean that you are very special." Barbatos seems almost proud. 

"So it's a good thing that I broke it?" When I look at the still-smoking pot, I wonder if it wasn't just a fluke. 

"Well, it is certainly interesting, quite unexpected even. I'm sure lord Diavolo will be equally delighted to hear about this." He isn't ironic at all, what baffles me the most. 

This is the first time that I got praised for breaking something. 

"What does this mean for my magic training?" I silently hope that today's training will be postponed. 

"It means that we start at the basics and go from there." Barbatos doesn't bat an eye. 

I wonder if there was truly any point to this magic device. 

The magic lesson itself is pretty boring. 

Barbatos explains the concept of magic to me and then I do some breathing exercises to help me feel my magic force. I can't feel a thing but at least it's relaxing.

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm pretty sad once we reach Diavolos office. This only means that he will let go of my hand. 

It feels just a bit lonely, but I don't allow him to see that.

  "Here we are and just in time too." Diavolo is pretty happy about this fact. 

"Very well done." Barbatos compliments Diavolo. Next, he looks at me and notices that Diavolo still holds my hand. He places a hand on his chin. It looks like he is thinking about remaking something. 

"Mind me asking what this is about?" Barbatos then just straight-up asks. 

"Hm? Oh, you mean holding hands? I wanted to prevent them from falling in the roses." Diavolo is confused for a moment but then quickly realizes it. 

"Are you alright?" Barbatos frowns and looks at me with worry. 

"It was a close call but Diavolo saved me." I shoot Diavolo a thankful glance. 

"This could have ended badly. I knew I should have been watching over you more carefully." Barbatos seems very bothered by the whole incident. 

"I'm fine though, so all is good." I don't quite see the issue. As long as I didn't get injured, it should be fine. 

Barbatos seems troubled by this.

  "You should trust me to be able to protect my sibling." Diavolo frowns slightly. 

"It's not that I don't trust your abilities. I just can't handle the thought of the young master getting hurt." Barbatos looks at me with seemingly conflicting feelings. 

"I'm glad that you worry about me, but I'm safe with both of you watching out for me." There honestly doesn't seem to anything that could hurt me with them around. 

"That's right we will always be here to protect you." Diavolo heartily agrees to this. 

"That should be evident. Maybe I was overly harsh just now, but please make sure to be careful." Barbatos agrees and then gently smiles at me.

"I will, thank you for caring about me." I feel a bit embarrassed by his words. 

Diavolo gives me an extremely pleasant smile. Barbatos smiles as usual, but I think he appreciates my comment. 

"Shall we get to work then?" Barbatos then brings us back to the reason to be here. 

Diavolo looks a bit beaten for a moment and sighs. He must hate this part of his job. "I guess I have no choice."

  I peek at the huge stack of papers and can only feel bad for Diavolo. 

"So you will sit over here and look through some papers and read some books I have prepared for you. I need to assist lord Diavolo for a while and will answer your questions later. There is some paper for you to take notes." Barbatos shows me to a small desk with a stack of books and papers. They rival Diavolos' stack. 

I internally sigh. This really doesn't look fun or interesting at all. At this moment I feel great sympathy for Diavolo. 

Barbatos must sense my disinterest. "If you are done with these, I will present you with a great treat." 

I perk up right away. "What kind of treat?" 

Barbatos is obviously pleased by my response. "Well, you will find out if you work hard." He looks like he grins, but I might imagine this. 

He got me yet again.

  "Will I get a treat too, once I'm done?" Diavolo seems equally excited by the prospect of a treat. 

"I wouldn't think you require one, but we will see." Barbatos sounds colder to Diavolo than to me. 

He is stricter with him than with me that much is certain. 

"I need one," Diavolo mumbles just loud enough for me to hear. 

I feel bad for him. Diavolo saved me and is nothing but nice to me. So, I make a decision. "I will make you some treats when I have my baking lesson."

Diavolo looks at me, surprised for a moment, and then he smiles at me so brightly that I see stars for a moment. 

"I need to work extra hard in that case." Suddenly he seems to burst from motivation. 

"So that is what is needed for you to work hard." This time Barbatos smirks. 

It's a very surprising sight.

  Then suddenly I feel like I'm excluding Barbatos. "I will make some for you too, Barbatos."

His eyes widen. Barbatos wasn't expecting this. "It is very kind of you to think of me."

"It's only natural. You do so much for me that I want to do something in return for you." It doesn't seem to be anything special to me, to be honest. 

Barbatos gives me the kindest smile.

  It seems like he never expected anything in return for all his help. Maybe he even expects me to resent him for all these lessons. Even when he only wants to help me.

  Soon after this, the boring part of the day starts. I have filled out human forms before and the demon ones aren't really all that different. I occasionally have to look up a word or some context, but it all somehow makes just as much sense as human documents to me. This is to say that I can fill them out as long as I don't ponder over them too much or lose myself in their deeper meaning. 

I make pretty good progress, even when I can't pretend that I understand what I'm doing. 

I mostly copy and paste information from the prefilled copies that Barbatos provided for me.

  "I wish we had a computer, that would make this so much faster. Especially if we would have a form that we could fill out on the computer and then just print out." I sigh and just let my frustration out. 

Diavolo looks at me with surprise. "There is such a device in the human world?" 

"Yeah, of course, is this news to you?" I'm a bit baffled since they do have rather modern phones. 

"Well… I never thought of that." Barbatos sounds genuine. 

I'm speechless. "We honestly could save a lot of work with a computer."

"I have no idea how to use one, but it does sound convenient." Diavolo is interested. 

"I heard about their abilities, but I'm a bit worried that lord Diavolo would play and never work." Barbatos has some pretty valid concerns. I can see that happening pretty easily. 

"It still would save a lot of work though and as long as Diavolo is motivated he could get faster finished and then play as a treat." I feel like I'm talking about a child right now. 

"You do realize that I'm right here, right?" Diavolo seems a bit of hurt. Even when he doesn't deny our concerns. 

"At any rate, I will think about getting one for the young master." Barbatos seems to have much faith in me. What makes me feel pretty good, but I'm a bit worried about Diavolo. He does look a bit sad. 

"That would be great, and I can teach Diavolo too. We might get pleasantly surprised." I put a small amount of faith into Diavolo. 

This makes him perk up immediately. "That sounds like a wonderful idea." 

"I'm not completely opposed to this plan but first you both should continue to fill out the documents that you have.

  Diavolo and I simultaneously sigh.

  Next up we will meet one of the demon brothers. Who will it be?

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

With a slight spring in my step, I head to dinner. 

"Good evening Diavolo and Barbatos." I happily greet them both. 

Barbatos gives me his signature smile. 

Diavolo lights up as soon as he sees me. "You look like you had a great time."

"Yeah, I was a bit nervous, but I think I made my first friend." I smile with some pride. 

"That's great to hear. To be honest I was a bit worried that you might feel lonely." Diavolo looks like a huge weight has been lifted from his shoulders. 

"I'm very happy for you. Even when I hope you choose your friends more carefully." Barbatos sighs just a bit. 

My guess is, that Mammon is a bit of a troublemaker. "There is no need to worry. I mean I have you and Barbatos. I only know you for a few days, but you are both very dear to me." It's a bit embarrassing to say out loud. 

Both seem equally surprised by my words. 

"It's the greatest honor to be regarded as your friend." Barbatos is the first to respond. It's a bit hard to tell his true thoughts, but he looks very happy to me. 

"I feel the same way. I hope we will become even closer. It's funny to think that it's not even been a week yet, but I can't even imagine the castle without your presence." Diavolo’s smile seems to glow even brighter than usual.

  I might need sunglasses at this point. 

Despite this, his words feel warm inside my chest. "I feel the same way. I think I never even realized how lonely my life truly was." 

I smile a bit sad but also happy at the same time. 

Then I feel a hand on my shoulder. "Worry not, your days alone are over." Barbatos’ words are unusually tender. My smile brightens at his words. 

"I hug him. Who could say no to him? 

Barbatos chuckles behind me. This must be a very strange sight, to be honest. 

I don't mind since hugging Diavolo feels much better than I expected. He is very warm, much like his big hands. 

I bet I could use my whole human strength, and he wouldn't even wince. He might even enjoy a good bear hug, maybe next time. 

I let go of Diavolo, who kind of looks like he wants more hugs but doesn't say a word. Instead, he just smiles at me. 

"Well now, where we are even you should finish today's work." Barbatos is back to smile as usual. Diavolo sighs. 

"Fine, I will go back to work." His shoulders slump.

  Barbatos shakes his head. 

"I know it's late, but I would recommend that you read a bit in the library. There is much to learn. Especially with our tight schedule." Barbatos talks gently to me. 

"You are probably right. I need some caffeine for that." I can only imagine the stack of books that Barbatos wants me to read. 

"I will make you some. Please go ahead." Barbatos still has some tasks to do, and I appreciate the offer. 

"Okay." So I head to the library and find a menacing stack of books. 

After some reading, I hear Barbatos arriving with my fuel. 

I give him a thankful look. "I have been waiting for this."

Barbatos chuckles. "If only everyone would be so excited about coffee."

I decide to take a small break and now that I'm alone with Barbatos it's the perfect opportunity to ask him about what Mammon told me earlier. 

"Do you want to join me for a cup?" I offer Barbatos the seat across from me. 

"I would be delighted." He sits down and pours himself a cup. 

I let him drink a sip and then get straight to the topic that's on my mind. "To be honest there is something that I want to ask you about." 

"Please go right ahead." He obviously doesn't mind. 

"The question I have is pretty personal, so you don't have to answer." I don't want him to be uncomfortable or reveal something that he shouldn't. 

Barbatos raises his eyebrows. "There is no need to worry about my comfort." 

I can only imagine what he thinks I'm about to ask. 

"I just heard something about Diavolo possibly dating Lucifer. I'm curious if that's true?" There is no talking around my question. 

Barbatos' eyes widen for a moment, and then he starts to smirk devilishly. "I can imagine who brought you to ask this, but I wonder why you would care about such a thing?"

For the first time since I know him, I believe that he is a demon. 

"I care for his well-being." I avoid his gaze. 

Barbatos seems to be very amused. "Is that so?" He gazes into my eyes, like doing so will reveal my true thoughts to him. "You don't need to worry about their relationship at all." He is very vague. 

"What do you mean by that?" I ask, feeling very frustrated. 

"Hmm, that is a good question." Barbatos is just teasing me now. I never thought he would do this to me. I puff my cheeks. 

This causes Barbatos to laugh. "I'm sorry master. They aren't dating at all. I'd say they are friends with much baggage." With the biggest grin, he flat out tells me the truth. 

"I see, so they have a long history. I guess it would be fair to ask them about that." I feel much better now knowing this. 

"Now I have to wonder if you might be interested in the young lord?" He looks at me with a pretty intense gaze. 

Now it's my turn to be surprised by a question. I almost spit my drink out. 

"Umm, well I mean… it's not like I don't like him, but I barely know him and want to make sure that I don't fall for someone that is already taken." I'd hate wasting my time and emotions on a pointless endeavor. 

A smile forms on Barbatos’ face. "That is very smart of you. I would support your future together." 

"As much as I appreciate your support, I haven't fallen for him yet and there might be other people that I'm possibly interested in." I feel the need to correct Barbatos on his assumptions. 

He looks once again surprised. "I hope you don't include Mammon on that list." He must disapprove of Mammon. 

"Of course not. I'm not known to fall easily for people." I shake my head. Not only that, but I have only seen Mammon once after all. 

Barbatos then thinks deeply. "But who else is there?" He doesn't realize the obvious answer. I have always seen him as a very smart, possibly cunning, man. Yet here he is completely oblivious.  

  I narrow my eyes in frustration. "Look in a mirror."

"Hmm? You couldn't possibly mean…" Barbatos looks utterly and completely lost. I wonder if he looked like this when I hugged him earlier.

I sigh deeply. "Believe it or not, but you are on that list." I can't even really call it a list with two people on it. 

Barbatos almost seems to gasp for air. "As flattering as this is, please reconsider. I'm no worthy match for someone of your standing."

"Just because I got forcefully adopted doesn't make me royalty, but I apologize for making you uncomfortable." I assume that he simply wants to shoot me gently down. 

"You are royalty in my opinion, and I appreciate your consideration. I simply have to think about what is best for your future. I'm merely a humble servant and as such completely unfitting to be your partner." Barbatos sounds completely logical. I'm unsure how to feel about him seeing me as royalty.

"I don't care what other people might think about whom I love or not. To me, it's only important that we are a great match. Of course, I understand that you might not be interested in me." This would only make sense. He might not even be interested in dating at all.

“You are certainly interesting, and I can see you fighting whoever doesn’t accept your relationship. I might be worried about nothing.” He gives me a small smile.

“Of course, besides if, I’m the demon ruler there is no way I'd let anyone tell me who I'm allowed to marry or not. If there is a rule against it, I will simply change it.” I shrug with a small giggle.

Barbatos gives me a chuckle. “I fear for anyone that would dare to oppose you.” His eyes meet mine again. It feels somehow very tender. “Don't forget that I will always be at your side no matter what you wish to accomplish.”

  I ponder the weight and meaning of these words. My heart beats faster for some reason.

  Before I can give him a proper response the library door opens with great force. 

I back a bit off, seeing that I somehow became quite close with Barbatos during our conversation. I hadn't even noticed until this moment. 

I then look towards the door and see it's Diavolo. He has his trademark smile and looks very energetic. At least until he notices that I'm relaxing with Barbatos. 

"Ah, here you are." He looks at Barbatos, who turned towards him. 

"Have you been looking for me?" Barbatos seems slightly surprised. 

"No, I was looking for my sibling. Since I finally managed to get everything done." Diavolo boasts without a hint of shame. 

"This is certainly an evening to rejoice." Barbatos seems genuinely pleased, but it's a pretty obvious snide remark. 

"Yes, it is! I hope I didn't interrupt anything." Diavolo doesn't seem to notice the snaky undertone and just casually sits down next to me. 

"No need to worry. We just were talking about their goals after becoming the demon ruler." Barbatos grins slightly. 

While not a lie it's not the truth either.

  "Really? Now that is something I'm very interested in." Diavolo is seriously interested. 

It makes me feel quite guilty. "I was only saying that I'd change rules if they would forbid me from loving whom I wish to love." 

Diavolo looks at me in awe. "So you have a potential prospect to marry? You certainly move quickly. Or is it a fellow human?" 

"No, there is no such person right now. I had nobody when I lived in the human realm. I was only talking hypothetically." I sigh, I can only wonder how Diavolo thinks of me. 

"Ahh, well, I'd abolish any rule that would inconvenience you anyway. So no need to worry about that." Somehow Diavolo looks relieved. 

"That is very kind of you. Even when it might be a bit reckless to say." I can picture him just changing rules on a whim without thinking about the consequences. 

"I have to agree on that." Barbatos calmly keeps drinking his tea. Without a worry about anything. I have no idea how he can do this. 

"You might be right, but if it's for you, I don't care." Diavolo shrugs.

  How can he just say things like this?

I look at him, feeling very baffled but also slightly amazed. 

I glance at Barbatos looking for some reaction. He just crooks his head and calmly smiles at me, as if to ask me what I want.

"I guess in that case I'll be careful what I ask of you." This seems to be the best solution. 

"That is wise of you. You should make sure to gain knowledge as well. So you can request everything you desire without causing havoc." Barbatos casually shoves the stack of books towards me. 

"I'd rather accomplish my goals by working hard, but you are right. I need more knowledge for that." I can't stand the idea of getting everything handed to me on a silver platter. 

"I'd love to hear more about these goals." Diavolo beams at me with great expecting eyes. 

Barbatos is also strangely focused on me. It's pretty embarrassing.

  "Well, my first goal is to survive the party and then my education." It's not a grand plan, but it's important. 

"That is a very reasonable goal. I'm sure you will be able to manage that. Of course, you still have some learning to do." Barbatos' taps on the books. He couldn't be more blatant even if he tried. 

"Indeed I have full confidence in your abilities." Diavolo has zero doubts, which is encouraging, but I also feel the weight of his trust. 

I guess I have no choice. "In that case, I will work hard." I look with dread at the books and then take one. 

Barbatos smiles brightly, surely a sign of his victory. 

"Do your best! I should go and check on the party preparations." Diavolo seems suddenly very motivated.

"You have a great effect on the young lord. I shall support him. Make sure you get plenty of rest." Barbatos beams with pride. 

"I will, thank you both." I smile at them, but internally I'm crying.

  So I study until my head is mush and then fall into a deep sleep.

  I dream of letters chasing me.
