#it may be small and solomon probably won't show it

[solomiracle]

imagine solomon returning to the present and having to get used to barbatos treating him nicely and showing concern for him again

[hell-drabbles]

Been into "what if"s and alternative universes stuff, safe to say i'm very interested in what it would look like if the Companion is the Descendant of Solomon instead of Ra-on. I wonder if Ra-on will get his shit together if that happened and tried to get his Companion out of the filthy hands of demons while trying to survive and fix the mess of the Hell.

The role reversal would be interesting to see if both Companion and Ra-on still have their traits together as themselves and not the contrary. It's... Not a pleasant thing to think of Companion as... Ra-on.

Let's see how many Demons would get hit by Companion's pipe and ask for more if the Companion is the Star of the Show, lololol

Ain't that a question. Well I won't lie, I have thought about it from time to time, just never bothered to explore it any deeper since I was distracted by other things.

Anyways, I'm gonna ramble so strap in.

For one thing, Ra-on would be heavily more well adjusted since his family wasn't killed. He'd be a very gentle man, and probably grew up with overprotective parents so he has that sheltered, air-headedness about him that comes with living in a little bubble.

Oh and he's still explosively horny. Now that he isn't under the constant watch of his parents, he's going all out in finding his preferences online. And is certainly not a virgin by this point. I'd actually imagine that he's aiming to be a part-time sex worker, but is too busy with college at the moment to look deeper into it.

And as for the Companion... I'd say they have a lot less disinterest in the world around them. Dismissive, simply putting all of their focus on finding the people that killed their family. They've pretty much narrowed their world to just Ra-on and Minhyeok and doesn't have anyone else beyond that. They're very protective of that small circle, to an unhealthy degree honestly. So, in contrast to the current strained dynamic of Companion and Ra-on, it feels like the this version of the Companion and Ra-on are about to consume each other.

"You're so delicate. You'll be ripped apart."

Companion has not had a healthy sleep in years, and they struggle immensely to find joy in anything that isn't related to Ra-on and Minhyeok. When they're not burning with intense rage, they're often found very, very apathetic. As such, they give the devils little to no respect, no matter how much these devils may adore them.

But, the devils being devils, they will not stop trying. They will get past the Companion's emotional walls. This, of course, has horrible consequences. Because you can't attempt to fix a person that doesn't want to fix themselves.

So yeah, the only way anyone can get the Companion interested in saving Hell at all is to either say that the angels have something to do with their family getting slaughtered, or have Ra-on plead with them to save the devils.

So yeah, that would probably the story of the Companion learning to let go of their need for vengeance and just, start to appreciate the weird world around them.

Ra-on is still as horny as always, but because he's not being bogged down by the other issues in the regular AU, he isn't really jealous or unhealthily possessive. He is, instead, kinda scared for the Companion's mental well being when it becomes clear to him just how much they project Solomon onto the Companion. He distracts the devils when he sees how their talking and flirting is bothering the Companion. Makes a mess of himself so that the Companion can hide away.

He just, doesn't want to see the Companion turn to violence again. They had a really bad streak at some point that almost got them barred from getting into any school or university. Ra-on hates seeing them caught in the cycle of violence and will do anything to pull them out. But Hell is... not the best place for that kind of hope.

Minhyeok loves being a Caretaker but Ra-on takes it to a whole other level. Ra-on almost wants to become a machine that's made to take care of the Companion's every need, if that will help them be happier for a little longer. Willing to strip himself of his agency if it means they can smile again.

And all the Companion sees is a delicate dove that need to be protected at all costs.

Of all the things the Companion and Ra-on are afraid of, it's the realization that the other doesn't need them like they thought they would. That, what's best for both of them is to go their separate ways.

Is it romantic? Is it platonic? I don't know, but it's certainly unhealthy and they will consume one another if left unchecked.

And as for the Companion's relationship with Solomon, they want to cut him out. They want him to shut up, they want him to go to anyone else and leave them be. They don't want any of his fucking baggage or any of the shit he did.

Anyways, I would imagine that Solomon is the one to reveal that the angels slaughtered their family, with evidence to show for it. Because if this is the only way to get the Companion to save Hell, then so be it. Aim the rage-filled beast towards your enemy and let go. Solomon obviously doesn't want to manipulate the Companion like this, but he cares for the devils in Hell too much. Besides, this is his last chance. He has no other choice.

Naughty lustful demon

Hello everyone^^ Today is a fic about Solodeus. I hope everyone will like it. And thank you @fresh-thomato for this great ending, I love it so much❤️

Summary: Just a mess of lovers~

Warning: This is a tickle fic. If you don't like this, don't read it^^

Words: 2111

Asmodeus x Solomon

"May I come in, Asmodeus?" - Solomon asked, after knocking on Asmo's door got no response.

"Come in darling~♡" - the gasp and cheerful answer came right away after Asmo realized who came to visit him.

Solomon shaked his head and gave a small chuckle. Asmo probably thought is was Lucifer or any other of his brothers and decided to pretend he was not in his room. This was actually the reason of wizard's visit. He always knew if something was troubling his demonic boyfriend and after seeing him at school today...he could feel that something definitely was wrong.

Solomon came into the room and closed the door behind him.

"Pardon me if I'm bothering you, A..."

"You're never a bother, dear~!" - Asmo pouted and looked away from the mirror to jumped at his wizard and wrapped his arms around his neck in loving hug.

"I miiiiiissed you so muuuuuch~!"

Solomon rolled his eyes hearing this whine and let Asmo hanged from his neck.

"Oh, did you? But we just saw each other at school, Asmo."

"But we didn't talk at all~"

Solomon gave a long sigh...so he just wanted attention, huh? Such a spoiled brat.

"...did you just SIGHED at me, darling?!"

Solomon looked at Asmo who crossed his arms looking deadly offended, and tilted his head waiting for and answer.

"Ah! It's not it, Asmodeus."

"Mmmmm~..."

He watched the Lust got even more pouty and sat on his soft, fluffy carpet. The perfect embodiment of the spoiled brat he was.

"I-am-watching-you..."

Solomon chuckled nervously at this mild threat and rolled his eyes.

"Someone is acting so bratty today."

Another offended gasp and...did he just stick his tongue out?!

"Very mature, Asmo" - he teased and sat next to his demon who just huffed and turned his back at him.

"Are you offended?"

"No..."

Obvious lie. Solomon found holding in his chuckles was getting difficult.

"You're funny acting like this."

Another huffing in response.

"It's understandable. Being called bratty is indeed offending" - he paused waiting for Asmo's reaction but hearing no huffing, which was a good sign, he decided to continue.

"But~ if you want me to consider you an adult, show me you can act like one."

"I feel NO need of showing anything to you. Meanie."

That was it. Time to teach this little brat a lesson.

"Okay. So you probably won't mind me treating you like a brat then~" - he reached his hand toward Asmo's tummy and gave it a poke making the demon twitched.

Solomon smirked with a teasy "Oya~" and began squeezing Lust's soft sides. Huffs turned into squeaks immediately.

"Wha-hahahat are you dohoing?!"

"As I have already said I am going to treat you like a brat. All brats are ticklish so it makes tickling excellent teaching method..." - he smirked - "Is this bothering you? It should with you being obviously a brat~"

"No-...ohothing is bothehehering me"

"Really? So it doesn't tickle at all?" - he reached under the demon's T-shirt and began to flutter his fingers against the bare soft skin.

"Pfffth...! So-Solohohomon!"

He watched how Asmo arched his back and decided to take his chance by pulling him closer into his grasp.

"Got you~ yes Asmodeus what is it? I'm all ears~" - he kept teasing while spiddering his fingers all over Lust's tummy. Another squeal.

"Aha-are yohou dohoing thihihis on purpohose to tohohouch mehehehe?"

Solomon laughed at Asmo's desperate attempts to tease him back.

"Only you could have such naughty thoughts~" - he pulled him on the floor and smacked his butt.

Asmodeus moaned sweetly and wiggled his cheeks making the wizard blush.

Solomon turned Asmo on his back and immediately attacked his protruding ribs pouring more cute laughter from demon's mouth.

"Ahahaha! Soholohohohomon!" - he watched amused how Asmo's pretty face was turning red after he got his ribs.

"Tickle, tickle, tickle~" - he teased watching the trashing demon's attempts to pry his hands off his sensitive spots.

"Ah~ Here comes my demon's charming laughter~ My oh my...who would have thought that the Avatar of Lust himself would be this ticklish~"

"Wahahaha I wahahahahahasn't hihihihiding anyhyhyhything! You have juuhuhuhust never chehehehehecked!"

"Hmm, I suppose it is truth. After all I have heard about it today and wanted to see with my own eyes. You probably know who I have heard it from~?"

"Ihahahaha dohohohohoho! He wihihihill pahahahay!"

"But you said you weren't hiding it? So..."

"He deheheheheserves ihihihit!"

"Well, I can't help but agree here."

"And I lohohohove his lahahahaughter!"

Solomon laughed at that. Even Asmo's revenge had to be considered "beautiful".

"Your laughter is amusing too."

"Ohohohohof cohohohourse ihiihihit ihihihis gohohohorgeous!"

Solomon shaked his head in disbelieve.

"You stay yourself even in such situation, huh? Well, let's see~" - he stopped the tickles.

"Now, raise your hands Asmodeus."

"No-nohohoho!"

He looked at giggly puddle of a demon and leaned down toward his ear.

"Don't make me order you~" - he teased causing goose bumps on demon's shoulders and neck. Was Asmo afraid or rather?

"What if I won't listen to you anyway?~ I know how much you don't like using this thing on me~"

Dammed brat was right of course.

Solomon grabbed his wrists and hold them in his hand ignoring all "mm~" and " so hot~" comments coming from the kinky demon.

"And your hands are cold again." - he rubbed Asmos palm with his other hand and watched the slim fingers curled.

"You can warm them up, darling~♡"

Asmo's naughty smile and the way he licked his own lips made Solomon blushed again. He leaned down and kissed demon's neck gently.

"A-ah! So-Solohohohomon nohohoho"

"Hm? I'm just warming up your neck, it's cold too" - he grinned under his nose knowing that it was his tickling which caused the goosebumps here. - "Is it unpleasant for you?" - he saw Asmo's sparkled eyes and blushy cheeks.

"No...Bu-ut...my neck is veeery sensitive."

"Ah, so you're ticklish there too? What an useful information."

"You wouldn't dare Solomon?!"

"Dare what? You mean...this?~" - he gently bit demon's neck and started to nibble on it causing piercing squeals pouring from Asmo's mouth.

"NOHOHOHO NO NIHIHIHIBBLES!!"

Solomon switched his technique to gentle scratches all over exposed neck.

"PLHEHEHEHESE DOHOHON'T!"

"But you're enjoying it. Don't hide it from me~" - he began to tickle Asmo's side with his other hand.

"Ahahahahaha Sohoholomon!"

"Yes~? I'm listening you hehe" - he switched again and slipped his hands under Asmo's shirt to scribble away at this cute tummy again.

"NOHOHOHO PLEHEHEHEASE!"

"Are you on a diet again, Asmo? I can feel you lost some weight again. Soon only those bones will remain!" - he poked at the lowest rib causing Asmo to wrapped his arms protectively.

"Ahahahaha! I hahahahahave to look peheheherfect!"

"But you already do and don't need to starve yourself any further."

"I dohohohon't stahahahaharve!"

"I didn't see you eat at school today, Asmodeus. And look how weak that made you, you can't even break free now~" - he kept scolding playfully tickling the dammed soul out of the demon.

"I ahahahaham sohohohohoh plhehehehease!"

"Hmm...you know what? Every time you're in your demon form, I wanted to try something~" - he digged his fingers into Asmo's defenseless bare armpits.

"NAHAHAHAHA NOHOHOHO STOHOHOP!!!" - he laughed when the demon twisted his body and tried to block access to this spot only trapping the wizard's fingers at the process.

"Oh? Did I find your worst spot?"

"NOOOOHOHOHOHO!"

Asmo's hysterical laughter subsided quickly and turned into giggles. Demon looked at Solomon playfully.

"Nohope. Tehehehe~"

"No? Mind telling me where is it then?"

"...I could. But where is fun in that?"

Solomon chuckled. He couldn't agree more.

"So I have to keep looking. Hmm~ let's see.." - he rapidly poked different spots on Asmo's torso. One poke for his tummy, one on each rib, one on each armpit, sides also got their share of pokes.

"Hmm you never told me to stop, Asmodeus. I wonder...do you like it?" - that blush and playful glee in demon's eyes said it all - "Awee~ so my cute demon loves to be tickled?~"

He didn't need to hear Asmo's answer. His bright laughter and the fact he kept enduring the sweet torture was a proof he was having as much fun as the wizard did.

Solomon kept that up for a while, then stopped and hugged his demon from behind, in the way Asmo loved the most.

"Are you better now?" - he began to stroke demon's head and listen how the giggles were slowly subsiding.

"Mmm I'm fine, darling~" - Asmo purred in content closing his eyes.

"Glad to hear that." - Solomon kissed Asmo's neck making him twitched again and leaned toward his ear.

"I'll find your most ticklish spot next time~"

"Hehehe good luck with that. Baby~"

"Ba-baby?!"

Darling, dear, he got used to those. But baby was too much somehow. He blushed. Even his ears turned red which made Asmo laugh.

"Hahahaha! You're so cute, baby~♡"

"Asmodeus..." - Solomon growled warningly and stood up looking down at Asmo. - "Take that back".

"Or~?"

So he wanted to keep being bratty? Very well.

Solomon sat next to Asmo's feet and locked his ankles under his arm.

"I haven't played with your lower body yet."

"Mmm~?...oh." - Asmo wiggled his bare toes and tried to pull his legs out making the wizard chuckled.

"Oh? Are you trying to run away?"

"I would never." - this time Asmo gave a chuckle and looked at Solomon confidently.

"Even if I tickle your feet?"

"They're yours, baby~♡" - he wiggled his toes again - "but too bad they're not ticklish~"

"I don't think so, Asmodeus. You see, the one I heard from about your ticklish secret mentioned them~"

"You're dead Mammon!"

Asmo's scream made Solomon laugh triumphally as he ran his fingers gently over demon's smooth foot. It was enough to made Asmo twitched and giggled.

"I have barely touched you, and you're already laughing?"

"Mhehehe!"

"Out of words little brat? Oh, we can't have that~" - he began to tickle the arches of Asmo's feet.

"Ahahahahaha! Sohoholomon!"

"Yes Asmodeus~?" - he grinned watching his demon trashing as much as he can and laughing hysterically.

"Still anything to say? Okay. What if..." - he gently scratched under Asmo's toes and BINGO!!!

"NOHOHOHOHOHO NOHOHOT MYHA TOEEEEES! AHANYTHIHIHING BUHAT THAHAHAT!!!"

He was shocked how ticklish demon's toes were. They were definitely his worst spot!

"Ohoho~ here it is~ I found your spot Asmodeus~" - he sing songed while playing with his boyfriend's wiggling digits.

"WAHAHAHAHAHAIT! THEHEHEHEY'RE VEHEHERY SEHEHENSIHIHITIVE DOHOHIHOHONT!"

"I noticed that, indeed. How do you even do those perfect pedicures of yours? Do you keep giggling all the time?" - he wiggled Asmos toes one by one admiring his colorful toenails and looked at the demon.

Asmo's hair were a mess. Slightly disheveled, transparent tears were streaming down his red cheeks and his nose was cutely wrinkled.

"MAHAHAHAYBE~"

"Oh? That sounds interesting. I want to join you next time and you will agree or else." - he threated playfully and slid his fingernails between Asmodeus's toes and that was when all the hell broke loose.

Asmo widen his eyes with a gasp, grabbed his head and threw it back bursting into the sweetest, most hysterical laughter so far.

"I had no idea you were this sensitive" - Solomon chuckled and continued to scratch between demon's toes.

"LOHOHOHOVE, I-IAHAHA!" - Asmo were laughing so much he couldn't finish his sentence until he snorted which made Solomon laugh and eased his tickles.

"PLEHEHEHEASE!"

"Please what, my piggy of Lust?~"

"NOHOHOHO! DOHOHON'T CAHAHALL ME THAHAHAHAT! IHIHIHITS NOT CUHUHUHUTE!"

"Asmo?"

Solomon immediately stopped seeing his boyfriend was covering his red face with his hands. He released his ankles and crawled closer to embrace him.

"Did I go too far, Asmo?" - hearing no answer Solomon took demon's hands and slowly pried them of his face.

"Perfection."

"No, it's not..." - Asmo sniffed. - "My laugh is perfect, but when I snort, it's terrible and not beautiful..." - he whined and averted his gaze.

Solomon sighed and gently whipped his tears with his thumbs.

"Don't say that, Asmodeus. You're perfect in every way, even when you snort. You're the Avatar of Lust after all."

"Really?"

"Of course. Why would I lie to you?"

He felt Asmo's arms wrapping around his neck again.

"Oh~so you think my snorting is..."

"I can finally see your smile again" - Solomon interrupted quickly. But was it quickly enough? Seeing the lust in Asmo's eyes he knew he failed.

He tried to stood up but Asmodeus was much faster reversing their roles on the floor.

"It's only fair for me to tickle you now, darling~" - the demon licked his lips leaning towards flushed wizard.

"So...where is your tickle spot~?"

THE END?

[aqua-moons-blog]

hello!! could I request platonic headcanons of how Mammon, Levi, Satan and Solomon would react if MC (gender neutral) asked them to be in a queerplatonic relationship? Thank you!

Heya! Sure, I hope you have fun reading this!

Warnings: None. Gn! Mc

𝑴𝒂𝒎𝒎𝒐𝒏

He had to look it up first. After he did, he looks at you for a few seconds.

He would probably be first atleast kind of upset that it isn't romantic. But he'll take what he can get to be in some kind of relationship with you.

"S-sure, of course you'd want to be with the THE great Mammon!", he says looking at you with his flashy smile. Don't tell him he stuttered he'll get offended. "W-what do you mean 'I'm stuttering' h-human! I'm not!"

He will brag about it to his brothers. And anyone else interest into. But especially to Levi and Lucifer.

He may be tied up, BUT he is in a relationship with MC and you're not Levi!

He will always remember as if it was the most important thing in the Devildom. As if you asked him to marry you.

Be ready to get pampered with the little money he has left he's supposed to be paying is bills and debts with.

𝑳𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏

He knows what it is and thinks it's a prank first. I mean who would want to be in a relationship, wether platonic or not, with such a yucky shut-in Otaku like him? Me

After you tell him that you mean it he will start crying. Out of joy of course. He's affection starved give him all of your attention and affection. He will be shy at first though.

Be ready to spend more time with him. Play video games, read mangas, watch anime, all that kind of stuff. He might attend school with you. Or go outside if you insist.

He will also brag. But A LOT more than Mammon.

"Haha! Look who's younger than you AND goes outside less yet is still in a relationship before you Mammon!", he'd say grinning at him like an idiot. "Just you wait until I get you!", Mammon would answer, clearly mad. Asmo would film it, Lucifer just watch in annoyance.

𝑺𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒏

Satan would be flattered. "Gladly Mc. How about you give me a hug?", the blonde demon would smile, opening his arms, waiting for you.

Prepare for small, affectionate touches like holding hands. He will do it in public if you're comfortable. If you're not only at the HoL.

He won't show off his relationship with you but isn't afraid to tell his brothers either. Or anyone who asks that he feels no hatred towards.

You'll be sitting at the dinner table with the members of the house, just like usually. After a few minutes of silence he'll just go: "Oh, by the way, Mc and I are in a queerplatonic relationship."

To those who don't know what it is, he'll explain it to in simple words.

𝑺𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒎𝒐𝒏

He'd smile at you at first and then agrees happily. "Of course. Who could refuse such such an irresistible offer, Mc?"

He'll tell Simeon and Luke first. "That's basically it.", the sorcerer would say after explaining everything to the two angels. Simeon would have "My-Child-grew-up-so-fast" moment. He's very happy for you two. While Luke is proud of you. "I'm glad that it's not some kind of demon, Mc!", and then Luke hugs you.

He'll teach even more magic now. He will make sure that you won't fail and that you won't get hurt.

He'll also tell Asmo. Asmo WILL fanboy for the two of you and neither of you can stop him.

I hope you liked it! I'm not really familiar with Solomons character sorry that it's short :)

[danieyells]

Messy mutterings about Chapter 55 spoilers with a small angst warning, copypasted from discord with little cleaning and edits lol

I'm imagining Raphael sent Luke away so he wouldn't interfere with him killing/fighting Michael and Simeon went along with the idea and is in the human world too so Luke's not, y'know, on his own in a strange new world and to reduce Luke's suspicion and all. But as Michael and Raphael are fighting or whatever Luke somehow learns what's going on/realizes why things are off and rushes home to try and stop it.

He tries to get between Raphael and Michael(perhaps his back, Raph perhaps striking while Michael is lost in thought missing the brothers, spaced out, staring at the wall where their portraits were) and is struck violently by Raphael's spear instead. Simeon, ofc, followed him home to try and protect him but is too late because of Luke's own determination to protect Michael bonus if he grows a little in this scene--just magically, because his current smol form is too weak to help surely but if he were a little bigger, a little stronger, maybe he could make it in time--!! and Luke is impaled.

He doesn't die but none of the three wanted Luke hurt in this confrontation--Michael is angry at Raph for attacking/being violent in the first place, Raph is mad at Simeon for failing to restrain Luke, and Simeon is like is now really the time for this because hello Luke is hurt.

Angels are made of strong stuff, he's not gonna die but he'll be in a bad spot if they don't get him to an angel who specializes in healing. I've elected this to be Uriel for now although I've been told that Raphael is generally percieved as the angel of healing--but with OM canon his reputation sonfar is so hostile I'm gonna say that may not be the case. Michael (or Raph) can stave things off for a bit but he's not healing specialized either--they're all Archangels and Seraphs but their fields are elsewhere, mostly combat.

(Luke tries to assure that he's fine and attempts to remove the spear. They don't allow this because the spear is, of course, keeping most of his blood in at the moment.)

They can't fly him to someone because it'd be bumpier so they have to carry him or call/run/send for help--so other angels do learn what's going on and speculation begins. Luke is hospitalized and Raph and Michael and Simeon stay with him while he sleeps, kinda tensely, not really ready to talk out whatever happened. But before he passed out Luke tried to tell Raphael not to fight/kill Michael, to talk to him instead. He wanted to tell him to talk to the demons/humans too, they're not as bad as they think(he and Raph are very likeminded so he thinks 'maybe Raphael will listen to me since I'm starting to see that I was a little wrong maybe') but he couldn't get it out.

Simeon messages the demons, Solomon, and MC and says he won't be returning to the human world/devildom for a bit because Luke was hurt in the CR. Mammon, having had recently gotten attached to Luke, is stunned and angry and anxious and wants to know what happened. Simeon isn't ready to tell them yet, and Mammon demands Barb make a portal to the CR for him to check on Luke--surely Barb is also worried because he cares for Luke too!

Diavolo says they're not allowed to go and Barb agrees(he felt as much before Diavolo said anything too.) Simeon agrees because there's some unrest now and speculation and with an exchange student angel having had been injured by a notoriously demon-skeptical Archangel some angels are worried the demons may be involved in this somehow and if demons suddenly showed up it'd make things worse. Mammon curses his helplessness because his new little brother minion is hurt and he can't even check on him. Simeon feels helpless too--he's an archangel, a Seraph, but he can't help Luke either.

I imagine MC then offers to visit instead--they may be a powerful sorcerer now but they're still just a sheep human with an inhuman aura right? They wouldn't be as concerning for the general populace. After some consideration the demons and Solomon agree this would be okay, as does Michael and Simeon [and Raph maybe] but they say to wait a few hours/a day or two before doing so, just to allow some cooldown/recovery in the CR.

(In the meantime Mammon reviews one of Luke's recent text chains to him where he's baking something. He tries to copy all the steps and instructions and clumsily makes some cupcakes. They're ugly and Mammon isn't known for his stellar cooking, but they kinda relieve him a bit and Beel says they taste alright, so Mammon asks MC to bring them to the CR for Luke for him--there's enough for Michael too since he's probably going through a hard time. It's not like he cares or anything!! He's just building up credit! They'll owe him with interest when this is all said and done!!!)

Idk what'd happen afterwards--it's probably the first time MC meets Raph so it's not under the best circumstances and he definitely wouldn't trust sweets from a demon. And even if he was gonna fight/kill Michael he doesn't trust that Mammon would give him anything safe and instinctively would tell Michael not to touch them, let alone Luke if he's awake to do so. So it's not like he hates Michael, he just. Things need to change and he tried to incite it the only way he knows how--or, rather, the most effective way, given how quickly things changed after the Rebellion. A spear to the throat makes anyone listen. A rebellion is what made Michael change, so maybe it will help him go back to normal too.

(Maybe Luke is awake enough to hear them talking about these things and weakly asks if Raph is going to be exciled over this--the first thing he says since passing out. They're surprised because. He got injured trying to protect Michael but he's still trying to protect Raphael, Michael's assailant? But Luke understands how Raphael feels because he feels the exact same way--or he used to. He didn't trust demons or humans or sorcerers or the exchange program, he didn't think they should get along at all. And he saw how sad Michael was without the brothers and hated them for that too--and Raph feels the same way, right?

Angels are all family. Raphael, Michael, Luke, Simeon, even when they disagree, when their views don't align due to time and perspectives and experiences and ages and positions, they're all brothers. And Lucifer and them were their family too. Even if they disliked them or how they behaved, even if they resent their rebellion and its effects they were still family and they loved and cared about them.

And Raphael doesn't want to see Michael hurting anymore either--certainly not over people who don't care anymore, certainly not over people who turned on them and Father, who must hate them as well. . .but he's been with the brothers for over a year now. Maybe two or three at this point. And he may have only learned it recently but. . .they haven't forgotten. They probably don't hate them. And the demons, the humans, even those unfaithful and the practitioners of dark magic, the fallen, they're not as bad as they thought. They're not necessarily their enemies. Raphael doesn't know it like Luke does because he's never left the CR aside for war and maybe visiting the human world briefly too, right? But if he'd consider things differently, if he's allowed a chance to learn, Luke himself promises Michael, promises Father who's surely watching as he always is, that he'll understand. Raph made a rash decision albeit after many many years of consideration-- but it was out of ignorance, so please forgive him and give him another chance and don't excile him? On top of that he needs a chance to learn and do better--imagine how he'd feel, being turned into something he hates or fears? It will help him learn, sure, but it also may only make him feel worse or make him do something more rash or result in another Fall if he has supporters.

Raphael doesn't hate Michael--he just wants things to be different. Perhaps to go back to normal. And he doesn't want Michael to mope over the loss of the seven brothers and Lilith anymore either.

And maybe in this time, since they'd have to decide what to do about Raph, Michael requested Diavolo come over too--y'know, in case Raph is exciled, they'd want Diavolo's approval and reassurance to keep an eye on him too. So maybe he or Barb, as they arrive in the room, would approve of Luke's appeal--ask what Michael and Simeon And Raph and MC think. They could always bring him in as an exchange student too! 😘 That worked for Luke!

Ultimately Raph probably wouldn't be exciled/become a Fallen but be given another chance. Maybe he's stripped of his title temporarily, until he's sufficiently deemed to learn about demons, angels, their history together, culture, whether or not they can get along, etc--so he's bitter, but thankful. And Michael understands that perhaps he's been allowing how much he misses the brothers and Lilith to cloud him and maybe it's time to move on and make changes to the Celestial Realm again after all this time. Bonus points if the bros came along and he was too distracted to sense them--someone's like "oh you're moving on? So we came here for no reason after all?" and ofc he's happy to see them again and gets to hang out with them again for a while before getting to say a goodbye with more closure. And he hangs off of Lucifer's neck the whole time they're there lol he and Dia bond over being Lucifer fanboys too.

Luke's okay in the end--a little worse for wear because being stabbed by Raphael is Not A Small Ordeal but he's okay and he shows a little more maturity. But he's also still same old Luke who will happily point out how awful demons are and use it as an excuse for distrust/fear--but he's more mindful of it now because he feels like he needs to set a good example for Raph lmao.)
