The robins are always calm, cool, collected. This goes for all the Batkids, no matter what stage they are (robin, pre robin, post robin, alive from being dead robin) so imagine the utter fear, the horror every single member of the Justice League feels, literal gods and metas, when one of their composures snaps. Why? Because the Batman has gone missing.

WC: 3.4k

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

You sat at the edge of your seat. Watching the clock above your teacher's head ever so closely. 

“When you want to find the common di-” 

Suddenly the bell rang, interrupting your teacher from his final words. 

“Oh my bad, guess I lost track of time, anyways please remember to study for your quiz on Monday! I know it's a weekend, but save some time for academics!” said your teacher as your classmates packed up their stuff to leave. 

Today was Friday, meaning it was the day you get to visit Kazutora at juvie for the first time after Keisuke's death, and your attempt. It was 3:30, and visiting hours started at 4 to 5 every Friday for inmates. Running to the metro takes about 5-7 minutes, and walking from the station to the actual juvie takes about 20 minutes, while the ride lasts up to 10, meaning you should arrive there at around 4:10. And there's no time to waste. 

You ran out of class, ignoring your fellow classmates goodbyes. You held your book bag tight as you ran fast to the Tokyo station. Seeing you arrived just on time you jumped in just before the 3:30 o'clock train leaves to a different side of the district where Kazutora is being held. You held onto the rail beside you to keep yourself steady as the train started to move . 

You felt scared but happy to see Kazutora. He most probably didn't know you would be coming, he probably thought you would at most write letters to him, like before, but again...Kazutora believes that you hate him now. You didn't know what you were going to say to him. Draken told you that he already visited him while you were in psychiatric hold for a bit, and he told you that Kazutora was planning on killing himself. Draken did not specify if he told Kazutora about your own attempt but you didn't worry too much because you were healing, and you now had hope.  

Your heart was racing, as the train came to a stop. As the doors opened you ran, and fast. Dodging people to not hurt them and almost stepping on things you shouldn’t be stepping on. You checked the time to see it was 4:01, and you still had about 10 minutes worth of walking/running to cover. 

You were breathing heavily when the Juvenile building came into view. You checked the time again to see it was 4:11. You jogged to the doors of the building despite the fact that your thighs were burning from the amount of cardio you had just done. 

It's all worth it. 

You thought to yourself opening the doors. 

Kazutora sat on the bed of his bland and colorless cell. He signed as he looked up at the ceiling light before turning his position to look at the side of the wall. He held his pillow tight. He knew it was visiting day, and his heart was anxious despite the fact that others had already been called to see their visitors, and there was still no call for him. He didn't even expect any visitors.

Kazutora didn't know if he wanted to see you or not. He’s spent so much time alone in his cell thinking. He wondered if you had figured out the other reason for him stabbing his best friend, you could read people, but he knew you had a hard time reading him. He felt his heart ache. He was scared of the karma that would hit him because of it. Maybe not even Karma, but just some sort of punishment, for causing pain to the soul that cared for him so much, and for not being there for that soul when she needed it the most. Which... ultimately lead to your attempt, which Draken told him about during his visit. He shut his eyes as he remembered Draken's words. 

“I don’t wanna hear you say there is no point anymore. Because there is, and it’s kinda frustrating and irritating how you can’t see it even though it’s right there. She’s in psychiatric hold right now because she was close to ending her own life. After Baji died, and you were taken away, Y/n couldn't take it anymore, and no one could see it because she just...she just kept it in, like you do. She was going to die on Baji’s birthday if I wasn’t there to make her throw up the pills she took. Her and I may not be blood related siblings, but I know she’s been through a lot and has always gotten over it just fine, you know that...but this time...I got really fucking scared.”

Kazutora felt his heart drop to fucking hell at Draken’s words. He felt his breathing stop as his mouth parted.

“I know you love her, I'm not sure in what way but I could care less about that. I know, Kazutora. All those times you came crying to the brothel, crying into her arms, begging for some type of help and she helped you, lended you her body for you to cry on, I’d hear all of it. I know you’re hurting, but if you go, I don't think she will be able to live with herself. She’ll blame herself for not being there for you like she’s always been. Do you understand?”

He felt his body throb from literal physical pain. Kazutora was feeling and getting the punishment he deserved right then and there. 

“You owe it to her, whether you like it or not, to stay alive because she's doing the same for you. And once you’re out of here, you should finally grow up. Let her cry into your arms for once. She’s your best friend, right? Because she deserves for those efforts to be reciprocated. And you deserve to see what she’s gone through because of everything that happened. Take care, Kazutora.” 

Kazutora was lost in his own mind, to the point where he couldn't even register that one of the guards was calling his name from the cell door.

“Hm? I’m sorry I wasn't...uh, paying attention. What did you say?” he asked sitting up nervously 

“You got a visitor, kid. C’mon get up.” said the man unlocking his cell 

“A- visitor?” he said quietly getting up from his bed with shocked eyes 

It was already 4:15. Kazutora grew anxious at who his visitor could be. He was sure it wasn't you, your school is too far for you to make it here in time. There would only be a couple minutes to spare if you did try. Could it be Draken wanting to give him a word of advice? Or maybe Chifuyu.. Maybe Mikey? God, who could it be. It made him feel even more congested and trapped than before.  

As Kazutora walked, he looked down at his feet avoiding people's gazes. He saw the backs of his fellow juvenile delinquents from the side of his eye. His heartbeat became stronger, and he felt it thumbing in his ears. God, he didn't know what to expect. He was just so...frustrated. 

“Here, you have until 5.” said the guard, taking off his hand cuffs. His back was facing you. You grew anxious bringing your hands to rest on your things and skirt, waiting for him to turn around and look at you. You watched as he rubbed his wrists and sat down at the stool still not looking at you. You rubbed your hands together under the table separating you both, as the guard walked away to patrol. Your eyes followed the guard, not even noticing that Kazutora had turned to look at your face. 

Kazutora felt his face get hot at the sight of you. You had a school shirt on, with a dark blue tie and a sweater vest, Your hair tied into a low and messy bun with some of you natural and dyed hairs falling out framing your face. He felt his whole body go warm as you turned your head and gave him a nervous smile as a small blush formed. He didn't know why he was scared to see you, because every time Kazutora had the chance to see you, he instantly felt better, no matter what.

You two, and the other inmates and visitors, were all separated by a piece of plastic with a vent to capture sound better. On the side there was a subsection with an opening to the other side where you could pass things through. Such as notes, toys, hygiene stuff, and extra. You brought your hands to the table holding them.

“Hey...sorry I’m late.” you said as you saw Kazutora snap out of his gaze 

“Oh no I-, please don’t be..” he said waving his hands frantically, clearly nervous

“I had to run about 2 miles to get here..” you laughed trying to not tense up

Kazutora felt… stupid, why would you do that? Just to see him? It just made him even more confused...confused about how he felt towards you. 

“Just to see me? But..why?” he asked without thinking and just speaking, giving a regretful and embarrassed face after asking his question.

“Hm? Oh well it's simple really…” you said bringing your hands to rest in between your thighs on your seat 

“I know that I've told you that I don't like saying these words to people because it sounds like some sort of goodbye but it’s time I grow up from my past, and stop keeping things in..so…it’s because I love you... I thought that was fairly obvious but I don't wanna mess up like I did last time. I want you to know that I do love you and care for you.” you said giving him a closed eyed smile, this made Kazutora realize that you deeply regretted not telling Keisuke that you loved him more often when you two still had time. He felt his heart ache. He felt so guilty and gross.

“So, I’m gonna try and start saying that more often..” you said laughing to break the silence 

Kazutora was still speechless at what you had just said. He couldn’t seem to process it, and he wanted to say it back but for some reason he just couldn’t. He was afraid that something else might slip out. He truly didn't think he was worthy of your love and care. It became quiet. Again.

“I made you a bento box with your favorite things, I made sure to put some extra meat. Cause you always used to ask for that when I would make bentos for study days with you and Keisuke. And don’t worry! It’s allowed and you can have the kitchen hold it for you till you’re ready to eat it for today's dinner, the guards said so. And the container is microwave safe! So you can warm up the entree section. There’s rice and BBQ meat, little octopus shaped sausages and sauce with it! Oh and a salad with sesame dressing on the side, and desert which is just mochi. Every Friday I'll come by, and give you the new bento and you'll just give me back the old one, so that I can wash it and so we don't have to waste stuff.” you said smiling 

Your hand dung into your bag, and you pulled out a wooden bento box sliding it halfway through the subsection, but Kazutora hung his head low. You smiled, trying your best to make things right, as silence grew loud again. 

“I can also bring some mangas for you, I know you like shounen and also horror.. So I can buy some and give them to you so that you aren't bored! This week's shonen jump is good… It’s about a boy who is trying to save his mom, and ends up traveling across lands, with close friends, to get this special potion that will heal her, but I’ll make sure to look for some good horror manga too...I know you like stuff about folk tales, that sound okay?”  

Silence.

After a few minutes you spoke again.

“I decided to let my hair grow out cause I kinda miss having longer hair…There's this really pretty girl in my class who has long blonde hair.. Like Emma’s but longer and more wavy.. What about you? Anything you wanna do to your hair when you get out? I’ll take you to get it done-” 

Silence. 

The time now at 4:40. Kazutora bit his lip out of frustration, refusing to look up at you. 

“Oh! What about I bring over a sudoku book, so you can work on your academics as well! I can teach you how to play, it’s fun once you get the hang of it. Or I can bring just a simple literature book, it’s really up to you, I think both are great.” 

Silence. 

“Maybe markers so you can draw on yourself when you’re bored? I remember you doing that while I would tutor you and Keisuke. I can get big and small ones, and ones with different colors too. Also a sketch book, since you’re really good at drawing.” 

You were met with silence again. You felt your heart ache. Your eyes looked up at the clock and saw it was 4:47. You both were running out of time. About half an hour went by of your speaking, you giving a couple minutes in between waiting for him to speak back, but nothing. You clenched your hands into fists, biting your bottom lip as you looked down at your hands, resting on your thighs. 

You felt a strong feeling in your throat, the feeling you get when you’re about to sob. You were so frustrated, and you were trying to keep a level head. It was hard and you just wanted to fucking cry. 

“I- '' you said before closing your mouth realizing you were about to let out a whine. You didn't wanna cry, you wanted to say something but you were afraid that if you did, it would just come out as a sob.  

“I know it’s hard on you-” you said holding back your sobs while still looking down at your hands, letting your hairs cover your face 

“If you don’t want me here, I promise- that I’m fine with that...but~” you said in between pauses keeping your sobs in, but your last word came out shaky making Kazutora shoot his head to see you about to cry. 

He felt his heart ache once again. 

 “But please….jus-just say something. Anything. At least acknowledge that I'm here.” you cried quietly while tensing up your shoulders 

Kazutora frowned. This was his punishment. Seeing you cry, and not being able to hold and comfort you like he desperately wanted to. He opened his mouth, but closed it soon after when nothing came out. Not even a squeak, or whine, or breath. 

“I-”

You heard him say. You looked up with tears in your eyes seeing his face of desperation. 

Kazutora wanted to speak so badly, there were so many thoughts in his head he just could not push one out of his mouth, and he was afraid he might say something he would regret. He wanted to respond to everything you asked him, add commentary, tell you that you looked pretty today, say thank you for the food you made him. Tell you to not waste your tears on someone like him. Say sorry for making you feel uncomfortable because of his silence. God he just- 

“I love you-” he choked up and said in a louder tone causing your eyes to widen and mouth to part from shock at his sudden outburst.

He was avoiding your eyes as he spoke. 

“I- thank you, thank you so much for the food! Really! And I would really love whatever and everything you bring me.” he said, quieting down towards the end.  

“I...can’t put my thoughts into words… and I don’t wanna say something I’d regret. All this time I’ve just been lost in my own mind. I just want you to know that..that I really am in- that I really appreciate you. I want you..to be here, and I’m so...sorry for making you cry.” he said in between pauses of frustration and embarrassment 

You felt your body get warm, your heart beat was strong and you could feel it in your finger tips and temples. You opened your mouth to say something before Kazutora spoke again. 

“I..wanted to.. Wanted to help you...in just some way...after seeing you cry for the first time...with Baji in your arms….I shouldn't have stabbed Baji...I took the person you loved more than anything...away from you.. Because I was j- because I was so stupid, and still am. Even when you’ve done...so fucking much for me...I- and I took him from you...I just don’t get it… how can you have any empathy towards me anymore.. It doesn't make sense. I took so much from you… I killed Shinchiro, and I killed Baji. You loved them both...Mikey loved them both, why do..why do you even have any feeling towards me?” he said looking into your eyes with tears   

Your eyes softened at him. You took a small breath before saying-

“I thought I already told you why, Kazutora. I love you.” 

Kazutora felt a tear run down his cheek. He knew how much thought came behind those simple words. 

“I don’t need a reason to love you. Just like I don't need a reason to be hungry. It’s just there, and will continue to be there, you know what I mean? Same thing with everyone I love.” you said 

His breath hitched. The time now at 4:52.

“The only difference is I was in love with Keisuke. I still am in love with him. Even though he’s not here anymore. I know you might think I love him and Shinchiro and Mikey because they saved my life and helped me. But I was only so little. I had no concept of it. So was Keisuke. So was Mikey. Keisuke had no reason to come up to little me while I was starving on the ground practically dying. He just did it. He was too young to understand love. You think he understood his feelings for me the second he saw me? Or even with Mikey or Shinchiro. Of course not. They were just focussed on saving my life at the time. We discovered the love that was involved later. Even if it was too late to say anything about it. It took Kei and I about...hmmm..5-7 years maybe...to understand what we felt toward each other specifically. It is different with everyone. The love is just there, it’ll just be understood when the time is right. Like when your hunger just hits you. So when you ask me why I love you, or care for you, or forgive you. I just can’t give you a simple answer, even if I wanted to….because there's so much. Too much.” 

Kazutora understood your words. He really did. It made so much sense to him and he just wanted to scream.

Why? Well.. 

“The time will come where you believe that you're worthy of someone else's love and even your own, and even worth loving someone else yourself. So don’t worry. I’ll wait. I’ll wait as long as it takes. Even if it takes all the time in the world, okay?” you said smiling at him leaving him with shocked eyes

“Alright times up! 5 o'clock!” yelled a guard 

“Well, I'll see you next Friday, okay? I’ll bring over some manga, oh! And don't forget the bento!” you said getting up from your seat as Kazutora did the same keeping his hands on the table as the guard came to cuff them 

“Y/n I-I’m…”

No. He can’t say it. He can never ever say it. Why? And say what? 

Because he will never be him. He can never be like him for you, and he was perfect for you. He was the one there for you. He had the time to love you. He was the one. He could never even compete. Not after what he did. Not after the jealousy and envy grew and brewed inside him towards him. He is filthy. Not worthy of your love. Right? 

But someday, he desperately and genuinely wants to allow himself to be loved, and to love. Kazutora will forever be longing for that moment. And when he can love, and allow himself to be loved, he wants it to be with you. 

But till that time comes..

“I’ll...really be looking forward to it.” he said biting back his words and smiling softly 

“Likewise.” you said smiling as you both parted your ways, at least for the time being. 

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

Explanation/note: when i wrote this, i made y/n be a ‘foster’ siblings with Draken and childhood friends with Mikey and Keisuke. << Reason being is because i gave her a backstory where she was neglected and ran away, hence her having a more naturing personality. Y/n and Keisuke were a couple till he died but Kazutora always loved Y/n so it’s a love triangle in a way? I don’t know, but Kazutora grew envious of Keisuke in this ff which ended up being a motive to stabbing him during the fight, to which he later regrets and gets punishment for. Y/n in the story doesn’t know that so that’s why Kazutora can’t accept her love for real because he doesn't know if Y/n will really forgive him after that, and Kazutora won’t be able to learn/accept love till he admits what he did. Holding in that secret, and being in love with Y/n makes him feel frustrated and act out. And obviously time is the theme of this whole story. Kazutora at the end decided to avoid his feelings because the way things are going right now fro the time being for him are fine because he doesn't believe he deserves anything more.  But that can only last for so long, so he’s gambling with his relationship with you. He thinks of it as his punishment for now, not being able to tell you how he really feels, and not being able to comfort you.

ANYWAYS hope you liked it, sorry if it’s confusing.

Willow’s Fall

(I had to make a couple changes) Warning: Blood, Angst, Falling, Female body/clothing mention, sacrifice, death mention, knives, violence, murder(kinda), homophobia mention. Spoiler (S1,2)

Willow was laying on their bed texting Simeon looking up at the ceiling, the two had developed a close friendship throughout their time with the exchange program and would text each other everything. For Willow, the Angel was the most stable friend they’d ever had. He also had an uncanny knack for knowing when you needed him. He was there whenever they fought with the brothers, knowing full well the handful they were. He would listen for hours while you vented about the latest fiasco Mammon got you involved in, or just being frustrated with Lucifer excepting himself out of you. 

They were dreading going back to the human world. There was nothing left for them there, they were alone when they were there. Their family hand disowned them when they came out as non binary, pansexual and poly. They would much rather stay in the Devildom where they felt wanted and accepted. Fighting back the hot tears that threatened to fall down their cheeks. 

“I really don’t want to go back to the human world, I don’t want to be alone anymore.” They type out only immediately throw their phone onto the pile of blankets next to them. They turned onto their side and curled their knees into their chest as tight as they could and just laid there, and let themselves loose the battle against their tears. Silently letting the tears fall as they stare at the door, a small knock is heard on the other side. 

“It’s open” they choked out.

 As the door slowly swings open they saw the form of Simeon carrying a bag with him, even thought Willow couldn’t see his face, they knew that he was smiling. “What’s going on Lilo?” he said softly sitting next to them on the bed rubbing their back with one hand and putting the other on the shoulder that was on the bed, they enjoyed the nickname it had started out as joke because when they first met him he stumbled over their name and called them Lilo and it just stuck. “I could tell by your text that you could use a friend” Pulling them into a sitting position and wrapping both arms around them. Only letting go long enough to pull a large tin out of the bag along with a couple satchels of some Celestial Realm Tea. 

“I’m scared to go back” They sobbed into the Angels shoulder grasping onto the back of his top, their whole body was shaking as Simeon tightened his embrace around them, moving one arm to rub their head. “I wish there as a way for me to stay here forever, Why would I go back to a place where I am nothing, where I have nothing” They said, most of it garbled by loud wet sobs. Somehow he always knew what they were saying even in this condition. “Well there is one way, but it’s not pretty” He says resting his chin on your head. “I’ll tell you over tea and cookies, Luke made them. Their your favorite too.” He said grabbing the tin and tea bags and placing them on the table.  They slowly stand up grabbing their electric kettle to fill it with water. 

“Sit down I’ll take care of the rest” He said sternly with a smirk. As they sat down Simeon set down a plate of shortbread cookies made into little cat faces in front of them, they were a little lopsided and it was easy to tell they had been shaped by hand. “He noticed yesterday you seemed a bit sad and wanted to make cookies for you with Barbatos, he did it all from scratch himself too.” He chortled setting down an empty mug in front of them. His body language didn’t match the happy tune he was humming as he grabbed the now steaming kettle. As he poured made the tea, Willow watched as his hands shook and his breath hitched as he sat down next to them. This was the first time you had seem him with his face so sullen and sad. He grabbed their hands in his and spoke softly and carefully. 

“Okay, so as far as I’m aware if you were to stay down here permanently you’d have to die, but have done something that would make it so you don’t end up in the Celestial realm… Maybe we can talk to Michael about and see what he says. I’m going back in three days to get more tea, that Barbatos and Lucifer requested. Would you come with me… I know I can’t talk you out of wanting to stay here?” He said, they could see him fighting back tears.

“I would love that, but one problem… We can’t tell the Brothers or Diavolo. I’m trusting you to keep this plan a secret. Got it?” You whisper sternly. He nods as he takes a sip of tea. “Are you sure you want to do this?” “Positive.” “Okay I’ll let Diavolo and Lucifer know you will be joining me” 

*Knock Knock Knock* Willow nearly dropped their mug from the sheer volume of the knock on their door. “It’s open, you don’t have to knock my door down” they say. The shadow on the floor as the door opens suggests that the visitor is none other than the Avatar of Pride himself. “Good Evening Lucifer, By the way Willow would like to join me on my trip to the Celestial Realm, I thought they would enjoy some real sunlight before the end of the semester.” the Angel says wiping away any evidence he had been on the verge of tears, getting up to head back to his room in Purgatory Hall. “Fine, I forget humans need sunlight sometimes”  Lucifer says sternly crossing his arms staring down at Willow. Simeon nods as he starts to shut the door behind him “I’ll let Diavolo know as I head back to Purgatory Hall, seeing as it’s on my way to grab Luke”

Lucifer looked sideways at Willow as he put his hand on their shoulder pulling them into a tight hug. Willow can sense that he knows something is up but doesn’t know what to say. “Shall we head down to dinner?” He says pulling them up from the chair they had been sitting in. 

On the morning of their trip to the Celestial Realm, Willow is awoken to their phone buzzing next to their face, with a text from Simeon “Good morning sunshine, start getting ready, I’ll be on my way to get you soon” “Okay, my door is open. I just need to shower before we go, if I’m not out when you arrive I’ll ”

They groan as the hoist themself off their bed and over to their dresser to grab an outfit to wear, they grab one of their black sweater dresses, a pair of leggings and a random pair of underwear and race into the bathroom to shower. They rush to get clean so they don’t risk keeping the Angel waiting long, and hurries to make themselves presentable. A cloud of steam follows Willow as they leave the bathroom. Simeon hadn’t arrived yet so they sent him a quick text telling him he could just walk into the room, as they had already gotten dressed. 

Willow dug around in their closet and found their signature rainbow sneakers and rushed to grab their favorite pair of socks. Just as they finished putting the last touches on their look, they can hear their door knob jostle and a smiling Simeon walk in. “Ready dear?” He said holding his hand out. “Ready” they say smiling sweetly as they take his hand. Pulling them into him “I’m going to need to you to hold on to me, I don’t want you getting hurt when we land, remember what happened with Solomon when you came back last time” Simeon replied gracefully teleporting himself and Willow to the Celestial Realm. “Okay let me grab the teas and then we can go talk to Michael, I’m only going to ask you this one more time…. Are you really sure this is what you want to do?” He says trying to choke back tears. Willow nods folding their hands together trying to not make eye contact. He nods solemnly in return as he turns as starts walking towards the shops. 

It doesn’t take long to get the stuff you came for, Willow even grabbed some new tea to try for themselves. “Can we grab some lunch first, my treat?” Simeon asks giving the small human a sideways glance “Sure, sounds great.” The two enjoy a quiet lunch at a small cafe, neither really speaking to the other. After they finished eating the made their way to Michael’s office. As they entered the building Simeon gently grabbed Willow’s hand giving it a small squeeze walking down the long hallway. Willow took a deep breath before knocking on the giant double doors. 

“Come in” A loud gravely voice shouted from the other side. Simeon assisted them in pulling the door open and making sure to close it behind him as Willow walked towards the oak desk on the other side of the room. “What can I do for you, Simeon told me you had something important to ask me” Michael asks, his face is hidden behind a stack of papers. 

“Y-Yes sir. I…I was wondering if there was any way for me to be able to live in the Devildom permanently. I don’t have much for me in the human world, and I’ve started to really enjoy the life I’ve had down there.” They said trying to keep their nerves at bay. Simeon 

“I see” They watch Michael get up but he doesn’t face them “Are you willing to give up the rest of you human life, knowing you can never go back to it. You’ll be able to visit but that life will be gone” 

“Yes, I am.” Willow says faking as much confidence they could. “Very well, unfortunately the only way to proceed is for you to give your life here.” Michael handing    Simeon a bowie knife, his eyes widening as he takes it from Michael’s hand. “W-why are you handing me this?’ Simeon chokes out staring blankly at the weapon he know welded. “It’s okay Simeon, I trust you” Willow says swallowing hard stepping towards the now trembling Angel. They wrap their arms around Simeon’s waist as he drives the knife deep and hard into Willow’s back. They lurch forward into Simeon’s arms as he takes the knife from his friends back. “Okay, I’ve contacted Lucifer and Diavolo. Bring Willow straight to the Castle and they will assist you from there. Their fall will start wen you get down there” Michael says as Simeon gathers Willow into his arms and teleports them to the Castle. 

As the two arrive at the Castle, they are treated by Barbatos who has the door open to a lobby where 8 Demons gather each in varying states of panic. Surprisingly Lucifer being the second most held together. The first being Diavolo, who takes the nearly unconscious Willow into his arms. “She chose to fall, she sacrificed her human life” The Angel said weeping into the arms of Beel who looked nearing the same state that Simeon was. “It’s okay Simeon we’ll take over from here, Barbatos has some tea ready for you” Diavolo said walking away towards one of his greenhouses and the brothers following behind. “Okay gentlemen, do you have the potions Solomon made?” He asked eyes glistening in the moonlight. Satan stepping forward with 3 vials in his hands. 

Diavolo held Willow so they could drink the vials as Satan helped. “These should help heal and make the transition a bit easier.” Lucifer said rubbing a gloved hand over their back. Willow pulled away from Diavolo and stumbled into the arms of Mammon who caught them with ease. He assisted them into a kneeling position so they could be stable leaning their head on his chest. Suddenly Willow’s head filled with pressure, they clutched their head and cried out in pain. As they clutched their head Mammon held them tight with their neck on his shoulder, he knew it was starting, He tightened his grip remembering what it felt like when his grew. Willow squirmed under his grasp trying their best not to scream, it felt like their skull was ripping apart. They could feel blood trickling down their neck as two horns grew at the crown of their head. “Oh look their horns look like mine.” Asmo cries out, they can’t see him through the blood in their eyes but they know his voice 

“It’s okay Willa, I’m going to wipe your face now” they heard Beel say as he knelt down beside you and Mammon, he was still holding their waist tight, Beel was taking a warm damp rag to Willow’s face to clear the blood and sweat away. Mammon’s face was buried into the crook of their neck and could tell he was crying and trying to not let anyone see. Suddenly Willow’s back felt like something was trying to rip through their ribs and skin, pulling their sweater off, revealing large black feathered wings started sprouting from Willows back the base being just about the band across their back. Levi had to hold Willows wrists to keep them from trying to scratch at the newly grown appendages, fluttering slightly as their body trembled In pain. They sit back up as Asmo takes another rag to their back to clean the blood. This wasn’t nearly as painful as the horns they thought to themself, or at least they did until Belphie accidentally stepped on the tip of one causing them to yelp out. Lucifer is kneeling behind Mammon having Willow match his breathing to prevent them from hyperventilating. After getting a their breathing under control they started getting pressure in their tailbone, it felt like when they had fallen down icy stairs when they were in the human realm. 

They felt their lower back and felt a tail starting to grow. Trying to look behind them to see what was going on, their vision started to go dark and collapsed into Mammon’s arms. “Will… Will… Can you hear me? No Will. Please you can’t die in my arms again” Mammon cried out not trying to hold back his sobs anymore. They could feel him shaking them but couldn’t respond.

Willow awoke to a soft purring noise, as they opened their eyes they saw that they were laying on the stomach of Beel who was happily munching away on some snacks smiling to himself as he rubbed his free hand through Willow’s hair. Willow noticed their hand felt a little heavier and saw that it was being snuggled by Belphie who was snoring softly next to them. “Hello sleepy head, how are you feeling?” The gentle giant asks pressing a hand to their cheek. Willow leans into his hand ‘I’m okay, really sore though. How long was I out?” Willow asked placing their hand overtop Beel’s. “14 hours, Belphie hasn’t left your side since we got you back home” You could hear the smile in his voice as you looked down at the sleeping demon who was smiling softly in his sleep. “Have you been here the whole time too?” Willow asks “No, I left a few times to get snacks.” He responded with blushing slightly “That’s okay big guy” Willow said resting their head back on Beel’s stomach feeling a firm squeeze against their hand. “Welcome home sweet pea” Belphie said sleepily giving them a soft smile as he put his head down in Willows hand giving the palm of it a kiss.
