--

It’s increasingly warm – the atmosphere in the townhouse now that there’s nearly double the amount of people. There isn’t even enough room to sit, and you’re positive Levi must be having an aneurysm somewhere, from all the lap sitting and bodies sprawled across the floor, with nearly six conversations going on at once.

You eye them all from your vantage point in the kitchen, nursing your glass of water, as you watch all of them with your blood thrumming through your veins. 

You’re on the heels of all of it. And it’s all coming together. 

Eren joins you in the kitchen, Teddy hanging off the back of his neck, as he gives you a peachy smile. You reach forward and shake Teddy’s extended hand, his eyes nearly lidded with sleep and his cheek squished against Eren’s shoulder.

“I believe you have a song to perform.” Eren states. 

You look up at him, a soft glint in his green eyes, as you shake your head. Your request for Gabi was done…and Falco was all ready to perform it too, but the idea of performing for people outside of your inner circle, to even hint that you’re even involved in this type of thing beyond what you were planning for the award’s show was nerve wracking. 

You weren’t even sure if you really wanted to come back to all of this yet at the end of this. 

“Not in front of people, Eren. Next week…when they’re all gone.” you murmur. 

“Deal’s a deal, princess. Guitar or piano?” 

“How about my fist, down your throat?” you deadpan.  

Eren laughs, placing Teddy on the counter in front of the two of you, his head nearly lolling to the side from his tiredness. 

“You have some violent kinks, Y/N.” he whispers. 

You roll your eyes, before shoving your elbow into his ribs. You reach for Teddy, and he crawls into your arms, now drooling onto your shoulder as you rest your cheek against his curly brown hair. Eren looks down at you two and the sheer, tangible fondness in his eyes makes your skin heat. 

“These aren’t people. They’re your friends.” Eren states. 

You frown. 

“I know. I just think it’ll be weird. Imagine they all think I’m preparing to come back after the season is over, when I could damn well just go back to my recluse life after this. And what if my…voice cracks or something?” 

“Hey.” 

“I mean, recluse while still talking to you guys. Obviously.” 

Eren rests his chin on top of yours, the two of you watching Connie do some aggressive… acrobatics, if you could even call it that, with Yuuji from a few feet away. Megumi and Shoko are standing two feet away, not bothered enough to be horrified from the injury that’s waiting to happen, while Sukuna and Porco start armwrestling on the coffee table too close to their shenanigans. 

“You’re thinking about it too hard. It’s just a song. And mind you, I accidentally told Gabi you pulled her request. She’s going to be heartbroken because she’s been waiting all day.” you state. 

You glare at him.

“You did that on purpose.” you groan. 

“Well, yeah. Obviously.” 

“You’re a asshole.” you state. 

“Guitar or piano?”

You sigh. 

“Guitar.” you respond, Eren giving your cheek one last pinch before he gestures for Teddy with grabby hands and shuffles away to get the acoustic guitar from his room. 

The soft kiss Eren presses to his hair makes you smile. 

You walk into the belly of the beast, taking the seat next to Falco, tugging lightly on his hair to catch his attention from the very serious game of Go Fish that he was playing with Satoru and Maki. He looks up at you – anger pulsing in his blue eyes as you give an equally harsh glare back. 

“What’s your problem, Y/N?” Falco whines. 

“Yeah, Y/N. What’s your problem?” Satoru mimics, imitating Falco’s whine almost perfectly. 

You pull on Falco’s ear. 

“Gabi’s song. Are you ready?” 

Falco’s eyes immediately light up. 

“Yes! Yes, sorry. Yes.” Falco responds, shooting up as you give him a curt nod. 

You pull the little bench into the center of the living room, Sukuna and Lana sitting at your feet and the group of them all clumped onto the couch as Eren enters right on cue, presenting the guitar to you. 

It’s almost romantic, the way he goes about it.

Or maybe you’re just thinking about it too hard because Eren could make everything feel intimate. Even the way his eyes meet yours sends a chill running down your spine. 

Eren places the guitar in your hands, reaching forward to secure the strap around your neck and curl shis lucky guitar pick, a brilliant shade of emerald green, into your hand. The little affections he gives you before you start singing – cupping your chin in his hand, a tiny wink for good luck. 

It simmers in your chest. 

You swallow hard, as Falco pulls the little slip from his pocket, handing it over to you to read out to them. You can already see Gabi smiling so brightly in the back, her hands tucked around Eren and Levi’s as she teeters forward and back on her heels. 

“The request is…write about the bestest of friendships. Like so good that you can’t even stay away from each other because of how fun it is to be together.”  you state. 

Levi scoffs. 

“I wonder who that’s about.” he mutters. 

Gabi’s cheeks turn red as Levi and Eren continue to tease her, and you give her a warm smile, lightly strumming the guitar as you give Falco the go ahead to start. 

Falco:  I've never known someone like you Tangled in love, stuck by you from the glue Don't forget to kiss me or else you'll have to miss me I guess I'm stuck forever by the glue, oh, and you

You can’t help but watch Gabi – the way her brown eyes shine brightly at Falco as he shuts his eyes, his quiet voice filling the air as everyone intently listens.

Falco always had that quality, the ability to command a room, but it was all encompassing, searing, when it came to Gabi. 

You wonder if she remembered that there were other people in the room who could see her. Or if she was even cognizant of the fact that there were other people in the room besides him. 

You turn to Eren, giving him your cheesiest smile. 

Y/N:  You've been hiding in plain sight, and it appeared, oh I know Loving you once only feels wrong, I need you I always knew I'd find you, to be here is worth the wait to I'm not lying when I say, "I've been stuck by the glue onto you"

You hate how fucking attractive Eren can be sometimes. Eren rolls his eyes, making a dramatic display of clutching his hand on his chest as he blows you a kiss after your verse.

And after you and Falco start singing together, he’s reaching for Gabi’s wrist, the two of them doing some silly version of a slow dance together – taking turns spinning each other around, attempting to dip each other, and stepping on each other’s feet as Falco leans his chin on your shoulder, the two of you unable to look at anything, or anyone, else. 

Maybe you’re just as bad as Gabi. Probably even worse. 

Falco and Y/N:  I've been stuck by glue Right onto you I've been stuck by glue I've never known I've never known someone like you I've never known I've never known someone like you

There’s a resounding group of cheers as you and Falco finish off, Gabi and Eren running to wrap their arms around the two of you, as everyone else joins in. And in the heat of the hug, nearly suffocating all of the air out of you, you can’t help but secure your hands into Eren and Falco’s hair, leaning both of their cheeks against yours as you let that seeping warmth, the promise of their company seep deep into your bones. 

There’s the tiniest twinge of regret. That maybe, you had robbed yourself of it when this was exactly what you needed all along. But it’s almost sweet too. That the loss of it means you’ll make sure, that you’ll always be grateful, that you’ll fight to keep it this time around. 

--

Later that night, after Levi and Hange somehow pulled together a dinner for the group of you and that sweet high comes crashing down. 

You find yourself sitting across from Eren on the couch, your feet secured in his lap as you scribble into your notebook, finishing off all the lyrics – the ideas that you had been preparing for the award show. 

Eren can’t help but watch you, your forehead scrunched in concentration, glasses hanging at the edge of your nose, and the way you nervously bite your lip and messily scribble into your notebook.

He can tell that whatever it is you’re writing, that you’re going hard at it, writing so fast that you won’t even let the letters dry and letting the ink smear all the way down your twist. 

Eren reaches forward, pushing your glasses back to the bridge of your nose. It breaks your concentration, enough for you to give him a blank stare in response, before you turn back to your notebook. 

“Thanks, Eren.” you mumble. 

Eren gives you a smile in response, before resting his chin on your knees and trying to decipher your upside down handwriting. The first thing that he makes out is his name. 

“What are you writing? A love letter to me?” 

You scoff. 

“Obviously. No, we’re opening for the Institute Awards next week. I’m writing the song we’re going to sing.” you state. 

“The Triple Threat performance is usually at the end. And I’m…I’m not going to steal your moment like that. You should do it on your own.” Eren states. 

“I agree. But I sent in a demo of me singing and told them you were going to do it for the opener. So I’ll still do my triple threat performance, but we’ll do this too.” you state. 

Eren reaches forward, snatching the book from your hands, and slamming it shut. You look up at him, giving him a smile, and the sheer lack of consideration in your face – the smirk you’re giving him, it makes Eren want to kiss the attitude right off of your face. 

“Who said I would sing an opener with you?” Eren asks. 

“Who said I was going to perform New Year’s Day at my first ever award’s show?” 

Eren sulks. Leave it to you to use his own moves against him. 

“Fine. What are we doing?” 

“All in good time. Just see if you want to write a verse or something.” you state, handing the little book to Eren, as he places the pencil in between his lips, and runs his eyes over the lyrics. 

Sukuna cuts you off, breaking the soft silence in the room from everyone’s respective spots, as he frantically reaches for the TV remote and flicks it on. He’s clicking through all the channels before he stops – on Ricky and Hyla doing an interview – and gives you and Eren a weary look. 

You immediately readjust in your seat – Eren’s hand secured around your waist as he pulls you closer, until your thighs are nearly flush – as you both lean forward, drinking every word of the interview. 

“Why did you choose to release your single from your new album, Pop Princess, three days early?” 

"No fucking way." Eren murmurs.

Hyla smiles, securing her hand in Ricky’s, as you fight the urge to gag. 

“I just felt like it was a really relevant time to release it, that…that my adoring fans deserved to hear it early as a reward for being so loyal to me.” 

“What’s the song about?” the interviewer asks. 

“It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time, a mix of different themes that have been really present for me, in the past few years. I’ve seen how other artists and actresses have functioned in this industry and honestly? The direction that we’re going in has been so disappointing lately. Look, we all have deals that don’t work out the best for us, partnerships that just don’t end up serving us at the end – but lingering on it, years after the fact just seems harsh at this point.” 

Hyla fakes a choked up throat, sparkling tears in her eyes. 

“I just think that as women, we need to show that we can be stronger. We don’t need to throw fits about how we were wronged or feel the need to call out anyone that’s involved. It’s mature – to swallow down that anger, for the greater good of keeping good relations with people. That’s how women function, how we should always move forward. It’s almost central to it, being strong enough to weather the unfair conditions we’re given. In fact, you should be grateful that people above you are even willing to give you the opportunity to work with them, you know? That we can transcend the limits placed on us in whatever capacity.” 

You scoff. You could just reduce the limitations in the first place, so you wouldn’t have to transcend them. 

“Honestly, I think it’s a bitch move to do that. There’s a need for integrity here and using this to build your reputation, associating yourself with people who aren’t the best, being petty? Loving drama at this point, at such a big age, it’s just immature. There’s power in being optimistic.” Hyla finishes, giving a bright smile to the camera. 

They display the cover art onto the screen – a picture of Hyla and Ricky smiling into the camera as you fight the urge to gag. And the audacity is piercing, that Hyla has a silver ribbon snagged in between her locks in the picture. 

Not that you own ribbons, but the comparison is clear. The single cover is the exact same pose as the one you and Ricky did for Death of a Bachelor. 

Eren’s turn to his side to find you glaring at the screen, your eye nearly twitching as you reach for the remote and turn the TV off. You can feel them all staring at you wearily, Eren’s hand rubbing small circles into your back as you turn your head to look at Sukuna, with expectant eyes. 

“Forty-five minutes.” Sukuna states. 

“Hour and a half. And I get to take Niccolo.” 

Sukuna reaches forward, clasping his hand in yours as you shake on it. And watches as you consequently jump off of the couch, dragging Niccolo to the closest room and slamming the door shut behind you. 

Eren turns his head back, leaning his chin on his forearms as he looks up at Sukuna and Jean at his side now, the two of them giving each other a familiar smile.  

“What’s happening?” 

“You’ll see.” 

--

--

Eren watches the door anxiously, and after an excruciating twenty-seven minutes, you nearly run out the door, almost tripping on the carpet, as you slam a sheet of paper onto the coffee table in the center. 

The group of them are all leaning over his shoulder – Connie, Sukuna and Lana, Yuuji, Sasha – every single one of them breathing down his neck as they read the lyrics you’ve scribbled onto the back of one of the throwaway season one posters. 

all american bitch 

Eren looks up at you, your arms crossed against your chest, as he meets your unrelenting eyes. And watches as you slam the old camcorder onto the coffee table this time, giving them all a look. 

“Who is going to record my music video?” you ask. 

Sukuna reaches for the camera, flipping it open and twisting it around in his fingers, before giving you a curt nod. 

“Me.” 

“And guitar?” you ask.

“I’ve got that one. Colt can help.” Porco responds. 

You turn to Eren, holding out your hand to him as you pull him up, refusing to let go of his hands as you hold them in the air between the two of you. Eren's looking down at you and you're unable to place what exactly it is that's brewing in his green eyes.

“You’ve got the drums, then?” you ask. 

Eren gives you a not, affirmed by the big smile you give him, as you run off to the set and the group of you follow. Niccolo plays the backtrack for them on the walk there – the rock-esque sound with your singing layered over it as he tries to memorize the counts of the beats. 

When you reach the backset, with old props lying around and the instruments half assembled, everyone gets to work putting the set together. You leave the lights on their on/off setting, tasking Falco and Gabi to flash them multiple times while you sing. Mikasa and Sasha are quick with it – Mikasa snagging an old sparkly dress from the spare closets and Sasha tasking herself with doing your makeup quickly as the boys practice the backtrack behind you. 

And when everythings well and done, Mikasa tucking your hair behind your ears, Sukuna giving you the thumbs up from behind the camera, you take the microphone in your hands. 

If Hyla Clarkson wants a bitch, you’re going to be the biggest bitch she’s ever seen. 

You turn to Eren, giving him a wink, before the group of them start playing, as you film your comeback music video. 

I am light as a feather I'm as stiff as a board I pay attention to things that most people ignore And I'm alright with the movies that make jokes 'bout senseless cruelty That's for sure

And I am built like a mother and a total machine I feel for your every little issue I know just what you mean And I make light of the darkness I've got sun in my motherfucking pocket, best believe Yeah, you know me, I

Forgive and I forget I know my age and I act like it Got what you can't resist I'm a perfect all-American 

Eren can’t help but cheese as you run around the group of them, Sukuna following you with shaky hands as you scream the song into the microphone, You’re jumping up and down, moving closer to the camera and then running back, all with the biggest smile on your face. The pure excitement makes his heart pound.

And really, it fills him with an elation he hasn’t felt in the longest time. For him and from you. Because it reminds him of you in the chemistry read, when you sang New Year’s Day for the first time, the shy smiles you would give him before you leaned in for a kiss. It reminds him why he was so in love with you that sometimes he found it hard to stop. 

I don't get angry when I'm pissed I'm the eternal optimist I scream inside to deal with it Like, "Ah" Like, "Ah" (oh my fucking God

Eren had always found it hard to not be in total awe of you. But now more so, in a glittery green desk, with your sparkling eyes, all he could do was stare. And maybe it’s a little weird – that the fact that you’re screaming bloody murder makes him so happy – but getting to see you expressing your emotions through music without being halted, without being watered down by Danny and Sareen, it fills him with sheer pride.

All the time I'm grateful all the time I'm sexy and I'm kind I'm pretty when I cry

Oh, all the time I'm grateful all the fucking time I'm sexy and I'm kind I'm pretty when I cry 

Eren watches as you heave your chest, bringing the microphone down, as Sukuna lowers his camera, before Eren nearly jumps up from his seat, reaching for you. 

You all but oblige as Eren reaches forwards, cupping his hands around your face and feeling your heart nearly explode as he presses a kiss to your cheek.

He leans his forehead against yours, the two of you quietly breathing in unison as the rest of them huddle around the camera, playing it back.

“You never cease to fucking impress me, Y/N.” 

You grin. 

“Yeah?" you ask.

Eren presses one more kiss to your cheek for good measure. He's sure he'll regret it tomorrow.

"Hell yeah."

--

--

On Thursday night, you can’t find Eren, Sukuna, Lana, or Connie anywhere. Not in their rooms or on the set – not lingering around outside the townhouse or taking a walk around the neighborhood. 

And they’re the only people that you want to see. They’re on the heels of being vulnerable, so painfully vulnerable in front of the entire world, and you just want to be there to hold their hands and be there through it all. 

You settle into the coffee table for early dinner, Jean and Mikasa at your sides sharing one of the little scones, as they give you a halfhearted smile. You focus yourself on distracting yourself, writing the song that you were tasked with for the day.

The slip you pulled this morning was one that Maki had stuffed into the little bowl earlier this morning, hence it being the one you pulled first. 

write a song about how crazy it is that you and eren made the internet explode after literally just acknowledging each other (simply iconic, i fear)

“You know you’re shaking your legs so hard that the entire table is moving, right?” Jean asks. 

You lift your head up from your notebook, shooting both of them an apologetic smile, as you place the pencil into the center of the spine and hiding your scribbled lyrics by closing the book. You shift around on the chair, hugging your knees close to your chest, as you turn towards the two of them.

Mikasa places her little half of the scone back on the napkin, brushing the crumbs off of her hand as she turns to face you. Jean seems to take some silent cue from her, you giving him a passing wave as he quietly shuffles out of the room and leaves the two of you abandoned at the coffee table. 

“He could have stayed, y’know?” you murmur. 

“I know. Just felt like it should be a you and me moment with everything that happens tomorrow.” Mikasa murmurs. 

You nod as Mikasa diligently splits her already halved scone into a quarter before she slides it piece over to you. 

“Does it piss you off too? That Connie and Eren want this time to be alone? Because I get that tomorrow’s going to be a big day for them, but…but I just kind of want to be there for them.” Mikasa states. 

You frown. 

“I didn’t realize it was intentional.” 

“They have their reasons. And…and I even understand them. Lana and Sukuna want to spend their last day of privacy as a couple, with Teddy, just the three of them. Eren told them about some lake that’s nearby that he figured they would really like. Since they’re into all that nature crap.” Mikasa states. 

You smile. 

“And Connie. He could easily lose all the deals he has, the kind of…reputation that he’s had for years. It’s kind of daunting and I’d want to spend that time talking to someone I was close with, like my mom too. And you know Eren doesn’t like to talk anyways, just likes to kind of ruminate in his silence which I figure is what he’s doing outside.``

“He’s outside?” you ask. 

“Yeah. Went out there a while ago.” Mikasa responds. 

You hum in response, giving him a nod, as you dig your chin into your knees, trying to stomach – to remember exactly what that feeling looked like. Though you imagine it’s not half as liberating as it felt for them as it did for you when you did your interview, because a central part of it was that you were taking the high ground. 

That the effects of it were never going to reach you. And really in hindsight, surprise dropping your sung only proved that it really only benefited you. That in Niccolo’s words, the ones that he repeated to his label when he gave them the song under your conditions, that you were immortalized as a pop star. That at some point, it wasn’t even about you. 

It was the circumstances. That there’s a certain mysteriousness in fans, companies, people’s eyes about what happened to you, that it’ll draw them into whatever you have to say. 

So much so, that if you really wanted to, you could get whatever you wanted. And you were going to test the theory.

“I wish they’d let us be there for them too. I want nothing more to be with them right now, any of them, if they’d let me.” you respond. 

“Me too. But I guess it’s what I wouldn’t want either. When I know something big is going to happen, like something that makes me really nervous, the only person that I want to be around is Jean.” 

If Lana and Sukuna are together and Connie’s with his mom, that means Eren’s alone. 

“Speaking of Jean, we…we talked about everything that happened when I was gone. I really am sorry I wasn’t here for you while all of that was happening. Not that it would have done much, but…it keeps me up sometimes that you needed a friend and I wasn’t there to be one. And I kind of robbed you of letting you be that for me too.” you murmur. 

Mikasa smiles, leaning her head against your shoulder. 

“I don’t mean this in a way to make you feel bad, but just because you put yourself down just there. I do hope you know your friendship means a lot to me and you even just being around me sometimes does a lot more than you think it does.” Mikasa states. 

“I appreciate that. You do a lot for me too, Mikasa.” 

“Levi actually had a talk with me and Armin about that the other day. About forgiveness. Think he was trying to push Armin into truly forgiving Eren by talking about why I forgave you and…and all I could do was stare at the polaroids on the wall.” 

“Well, I’d do that too. It's Levi.” 

Mikasa laughs. 

“It was a picture of the seven of us. You, me, Jean, Eren, Marco, Armin, and Ymir. And he was droning in on all this crap about forgiveness and all I could think about was how little I used to be. Like really, we were fucking fifteen when this all started. I was sixteen when I started dating Jean.” Mikasa starts.

Mikasa’s demolishing her scone into tiny mounds of crumbs as she talks, the light brown scattering across the white napkin. And you wait for her to walk into addressing it, on sharing her piece about the elephant in the room.

“Sometimes it’s really fucking humiliating to think about how I treated Jean in those days. Jean, he means everything to me. And sometimes I wouldn’t even spare him a second glance. And there were days where I’d have so much guilt about it, that…that it would kind of eat me up inside. But I looked at that picture and all I could think about was…” 

Mikasa sighs. 

“I was only sixteen. I spent so much time hating myself at that age, so unwilling to accept what Jean was giving me because I thought I didn’t deserve it. And I was only sixteen. And maybe I didn’t deserve that. I was still getting used to my own skin, figuring out what it was like to be me, and I owed it to myself to take love at face value when it was being presented to me. And if I wasn’t able to do it right, that’s okay. And maybe not even the second or the third time, but I…it mattered that I wanted to be better you know? I think realizing it is the biggest step.” 

You place a hand around one of her shoulders, squeezing hard into her muscle. 

“And then I looked at you. You were sixteen, Eren was sixteen, Armin and Jean were sixteen. Maybe you were just figuring out what it was like to be you too. And Ymir. And Marco too.” 

Your throat is dry. 

“Sometimes I feel guilty for forgetting about him. Whenever I get upset about how things went down, I…I feel like shit. It could be worse, y’know…I could…” you murmur. 

“You could be dead.” Mikasa responds, finishing the thought. 

It's bleak.

“Yeah.” you sigh. 

“Me too. I wish he was just here to see that me and Jean had worked it out.” 

“Me and Eren too.” you respond. 

Mikasa lifts her head off your shoulder, before turning to face you. And she wraps her arms around you, leaning the entirety of her weight on you as you dig your face into her shoulder. 

“And us.” Mikasa states. 

You beam. 

“And us.” you repeat. 

There’s a silent pause, before Mikasa starts quietly mumbling into your skin. 

“...I really hope you’re not going to make me ask again. I know Jean already told you that we were scheming to oust Amy out and potentially ban her from the wedding and…and I hate awkward situations like this so please don’t make me ask again.” Mikasa mumbles. 

“Did your scheming work?” 

“I told her she’d have to make all the bouquets by hand and suddenly she’s busy that weekend.” Mikasa's states. 

You laugh. You pull back and pinch the side of her cheek. 

“I won’t make you ask again. And I’m more than honored, like quadruple the first time I asked you. Anything you need, I am at your service.” 

“Oh, thank god. I want you to spill a drink on Amy at the reception. And you have to help Eren with the Historia and Ymir thing. We can’t figure out what to do.” 

You frown. 

“What Historia and Ymir thing?” 

Her face pales. 

“You…you don’t know?” she mumbles. 

You shake your head. 

“Fucking, Eren. I thought he would have told you by now. They…they’re not together anymore. It…it was actually really bad, Y/N.” Mikasa responds, face drooping. 

“Are they okay?” 

“Yeah, but…not on good terms. Levi was even nervous to bring them back on the same day just to kind of spare them the hurt but…but he ended up deciding too anyway because he wanted us all back here for the last day of filming. He’s just going to try his best to be there for Ymir.” 

You feel like a wilted flower. 

“Did Historia not end up wanting to be with her…because she’s too nervous to come out?” 

“I don't know. Ymir was more than happy to live in the shadows. And…and she gathered us all together and proposed to Historia in front of all of us here. She decorated the set with a bunch of fake snow like that scene they did in season two and…and she made this beautiful speech and…Historia said no.” 

“Oh my gosh.” 

“No, Y/N. It got worse from there. Ymir…she started begging her. Saying she'd do anything to be with her. I know that Ymir isn’t like Historia in that sense, that she didn’t care about being out and maybe even a part of her wanted to, but…but she was willing to give that all up.” 

You put your head in your hands, mulling over it all.

How unfair it all is. 

That Ymir had to beg for something so simple. That Historia wasn’t able to give it to her because of something that was out of her control. That they drew the line in different places.

That they were both unhappy.

“They’re on really bad terms?” you ask. 

 “Historia wrote a bunch of songs about Ymir after the fact. It didn’t take long before people drew conclusions and it kind of…drove Ymir crazy. That she was too embarrassed to be with her for real, but that she has no qualms writing a song about it. She’s over it now, of course, but…you know. That still lingers to some extent.” 

That there was no bad guy. That they could both be hurt but both be right at the same time.

There was no side to pick.

“I’ll fix it for you. I want you to have fun at your wedding. With all of your friends there. And I will be more than happy to drench Amy's dress in red win.” you respond. 

Mikasa’s smile doesn’t reach her eyes. You can tell that she doesn’t believe you in the slightest.

You take your half of the scone and march out the the little courtyard and look for Eren. It doesn’t take you long to find him, the pale moonlight illuminating his little figure, lying down in the grass by the tree. 

You take the spot next to him, the bristles of the grass tickling your elbows and the chilly night air really freezing you to the bone. 

You don’t say anything. In the nearly three hours you sit out there with him, you mull it over – all of it over – in your head a hundred times. 

Before you drift to sleep, you swear Eren reaches for your hand and squeezes three times.  

--

Eren leans forward, wrapping his arms around your neck and leaning his chin on your shoulder, your cheeks brushing against each other as you read through the tweets together on your phone. On the precipice of your episode airing, Eren had asked you to show him all the tweets about the documentary, but supervised. 

He didn’t really trust himself to do it on his own. 

“It’s…good.” Eren states. 

“It’s great. People really believe you guys, Eren.” 

Eren smiles. 

“If this all works out right, I think I’ll be able to do it, Eren. Or at least mess with Scott Clarkson really good.” you whisper. 

Eren reaches for your phone, before throwing it to the side. He's tasked himself with cracking all the bones in your fingers.

“You know, you never did tell me what it is that you’re trying to do. Everyone keeps telling me that you’re trying to do something for me but…I can’t really figure out what that is if you don’t tell me. And I could actually help you if you let me.” Eren states. 

You lean out of Eren’s touch, sitting directly across from him on his bed, legs criss crossed on top of each other’s. You reach forward, cupping Eren’s cheek in your hand as you smile at him. 

“I’m repaying a favor. You…you did what I couldn’t. You got my album back for me. And I…I know deep down that all you want to see is Scott Clarkson without a career, stopped from being able to hurt anyone the way he hurt all of you. I can’t give you back anything that he took from you but I can try to do this for you.” you murmur. 

Eren fights the urge to scoff.

You could give him back what Scott Clarkson took from him. If you just decided to make a move.

“That’s right.” Eren responds. 

“This…this is a contingency plan. If people don’t see reason, if they continue to collaborate with him…I don’t want any of your vulnerabilities to go to waste. And really, the only thing these people care about at the end of the day is what makes them money. Their business is what keeps them going.” 

Eren frowns. 

“I don’t like where this is going.” 

“Eren, don’t worry. I’m trying to be smart about this. I talked to Levi and he told me that Scott makes money off the big three. The movies, the record label, and the tabloid company. I asked Niccolo’s company to break all ties with their conglomerate – down to miniscule things, like sharing equipment – if they wanted to release my song. And big things too, like dropping Ricky from their joint label.” 

Eren’s eyes go wide. 

“There’s no way they agreed.” 

“They didn’t even think twice. Niccolo made them send the drafted contract over before we sent the song over. And I’m sure part of it is the appeal – that I haven’t been around in so long that people are itching to see what I’m up to. You…you can’t really buy hype like that. It’s already making money. I’m doing the same thing with the awards show – planning to sway Hyla’s designers, Scott Clarkson’s closest business partners into making deals with his competitors, till he’s left with nothing.” you state. 

Eren mulls the thought over. 

“I don’t know if that’ll even do anything.” 

“If you can’t take him down by the truth of the matter, I’ll take him down by his business. And knowing him, that’s the only thing that really matters to him anyways. His…his entire brand as an industry titan crumbles if people aren’t rallying around him, if people parade behind others instead. He can’t get to anyone if no one lets him in the first place.” 

Eren's eyes falter.

“I don’t know if I like this, Y/N. It kind of sounds like…you’re putting yourself on the line just for me. I don’t want you to feel like you have to sell yourself out to these people to make him suffer on my behalf.” Eren states. 

You glare at Eren. 

“Our behalf. He took everything from us, Eren. From Lana and Sukuna, from Connie. Don’t act lke I don’t know that it was his tabloid company that was on scene when Marco died. At the very least, I’m going to humiliate this asshole and his stupid fucking daughter the first chance I get. They don’t get to get off so easily for everything they did to you, Eren.” 

Eren smiles, reaching forward to cup your cheek as you drop your hand from his. 

“Is this what everyone’s talking about when they keep calling you my vicious guard dog?” 

You roll your eyes.

Eren rubs his thumb back and forward on the softness of your cheek.

He savors the fact that the love in the room is resting firmly in the palm of his hand. 

“You really think this will work?” Eren asks. 

“I don’t know. I just feel like…some things never go out of style. If we build up the hype just right, people will stop collaborating with him. For good.” 

Eren grins. It makes your heart do a somersault. 

“Then let’s give them a fucking show, Y/N.” 

You reach for your phone and dig out the email from the depths of your inbox. And type in the details before crawling under the sheets with Eren and giving his hands a squeeze.

Breakfast in bed a brothers and datables ls? (Plus Luke but it's MC making lunch for him)

aa this was so fun to think about!! the boys are so sweet, they deserve it ❤️

went for a more "established relationship" vibe in this one for more fluff opportunities. i only did the brothers in this post, but the undateables and luke will be next :) thanks again to @avatarofcuriousity for their help and for being the best beta reader in existence mwah

Breakfast in Bed (Brothers Edition)

Content warnings: none!

Lucifer 

He’s caught off-guard, to say the least.

Lucifer has to wake up really early, so the mere fact that someone was up and at ‘em before him is surprising enough.

But the fact that you were, just to do something nice for him?

Oh, so this is that ��domesticity” thing everyone’s been talking about.

He blinks in surprise, then looks up at you with the most tender expression imaginable. Maybe being cared for isn’t so bad after all.

He thanks you sincerely, and actually takes the time to enjoy his meal instead of scarfing it down before work.

“You must have been up early in order to make this… My compliments to the chef.”

Mammon 

Mammon considers this the best wake-up of his life.

Starting the day with you tenderly brushing his hair out of his face, and making him breakfast? Somebody pinch him.

Half asleep, he tries to tug you down into bed with him.

He’s confused when you resist, but the tray in your lap explains everything. His voice is unbelievably soft when he speaks.

“...Ya did this for me?”

After hearing confirmation that yes, you made him breakfast in bed, Mammon grins and sits up. He murmurs a soft “c’mere” and pats the space beside him. 

Snaking an arm around you, he pulls you closer and presses a kiss to your temple.

“Ya better not have any plans today… ‘M gonna take ya out somewhere real nice, alright?”

Leviathan 

Levi stares up at you, cheeks slightly flushed and eyes as wide as dinner plates.

He’s 90% sure he knows what’s going on, but he waits for you to speak. He doesn’t wanna embarrass himself by being wrong.

When you tell him, he lights up and gets the stupidest, most adorable grin.

This is just like ‘It’s Never Wrong to Make a Dragon Girl a Hot Meal!’ This is so sweet, and you did it for him!

There’s a swarm of butterflies in his stomach. He never thought anyone would love him like this. He never thought he’d come to enjoy normie couple stuff. But here we are.

“I-I love you, MC! Please marry me! W-wait, that’s not— aughhh! Thank you!”

Satan 

Any sleepy rage Satan has instantly melts away the moment you sit on his bed. 

His half-closed eyes soften as he gives you an uncharacteristically lazy grin. You watch him mouth a drowsy “good morning” before he sits up. 

He reaches out and cups the back of your neck with his hand. Rubbing soft circles with his thumb, he brings your head closer to plant a kiss on your crown.

Satan’s voice, deeper and rumbly with sleep, speaks against your forehead.

“Thank you, MC. I’ll have to return the favour sometime.”

Asmodeus 

Asmodeus, unfortunately, is difficult to surprise with this. He wakes up as soon as you leave his embrace, and can’t fall back asleep. You’ve gotta tell him to hang tight and wait for a bit.

When you come back, he’s sat up in bed and about halfway through his skincare routine.

He squeals upon seeing what you’ve done and excitedly calls you over. Patting next to him on the bed, he tells you to come sit with him.

Before you know it, your face is sticky from Asmo’s lip balm. He presses one, final kiss on the tip of your nose and takes your hand.

“Oh, MC, you’re such a romantic! Won’t you stay and share this with me~? ❤️”

Beelzebub

The smell wakes him up before anything else.

Beel sits up in bed, watching in awe as you bring in an ungodly amount of food. Plates are stacked high and dangling precariously over the edge of your cart. It’s enough to make him salivate.

His lips part in surprise, and he’s quick to return your eager smile. Now he understands why you spent all night in the kitchen.

He pulls you in for a tight, bone-crushing hug, and only lets go when you’re gasping for air.

Sweet boy lets you have the first bite of everything. He wants to make sure you’re fed and that you get to try everything before it’s inhaled.

“Thank you, MC. Will you sit with me?”

Belphegor 

It’s probably best to make something that’s good lukewarm, because of how long Belphie takes to wake up.

He gives you his signature cheeky grin and pulls you down to sit with him.

“You must reaaally like me, huh?”

Makes you feed it to him like the brat he is. Hey, you’re the one who woke him up– time to pay the price.

It’s easy to tell he’s fighting sleep, but he really wants to enjoy the meal you lovingly prepared for him.

He asks if you’ve eaten. If not, you get half. If yes, half goes to Beel.

Belphie won’t admit it, but he’s appreciative— getting up for food is a hassle, and he likes being able to tug you down for a nap right after breakfast.

CW: None

Theme: General Headcannons (both romantic and platonic on lukes end)

Reader: Gender Neutral

A/U: none

Premise: What it's like dating the Obey me cast

THIS IS SFW!

LUCIFER

Lucifer was reluctant to share his feelings for you on account of having to much pride

So you had to be the one to confess

You will never forget the priceless face he had on when you told him

His cheeks were pink and he was avoiding any and all eye contact

He did reciprocate your feelings however

Lucifer tries to keep your relationship a secret from the public eye because one he doesn't want to be endlessly teased by his brothers and two he doesn't want you to get hurt or threatened because of some jealous demon

His brothers do find out however, but mostly respect keeping it a family secret

Except Mammon

He can't seem to keep his mouth shut, so every time he's close to mentioning it Lucifer gives him a quick side eye

Shuts Mammon up real quick

Lucifer loves to have secret dates when he's done with work

They mostly are in the forests or small picnics around small parks

Whenever he is working late at his desk, he'll have you sit in his lap and cuddle him until you fall asleep

He has a soft spot for when you gently play with his hair

He'll hold your pinkie while you two walk the halls of RAD

When you two sleep, he holds you close with him facing the door and you buried in his chest

He usually doesn't say I love you, but he'll write notes for you to find when he has a busy day

Tries to make up for time when he's really busy with dates or gifts

.............................................................................................

MAMMON

Mammon was way to nervous to confess to you

But he wanted to confess to you first because he wanted to prove a point to his brothers

Yes they found out way before you did

Mammon just died when you said you felt the same

He didn't expect you to feel the same he did

Mammon then said something stupid but shut up real quick when you kissed his cheek

He is so affectionate, like there isn't a minute that goes by where his hands isn't on you

He makes it a point to let anyone and everyone know you're his S/O

Will always be there to protect you no matter what he's doing

He has this 6th sense he's developed just for when you're in trouble

Will never admit it to you though

Mammon's brothers will always tease him, but when your around he'll say something witty, well sort of

Mammon is very affectionate

Random hugs in the halls and hand holding hands everywhere

Will spoil you and will never take no for an answer when he offers you a gift

Will become really pouty if you say you're to busy to hang out or cuddle

However will find you and bug you until you make time for him

Loves to sleep on top of you, he likes to be your blanket

.............................................................................................

LEVIATHAN

You had to be the one to confess first

Levi couldn't bring himself to face you on the off chance that you would reject him

He almost fainted when you told him you really liked him

In turn he got the courage to kiss your cheek

Levi doesn't give his brothers a chance to tease him about you two dating

He does find himself coming out of his room more with you

Only with you though

Congratulations you are now his number one comfort person

Whenever he's playing games you will either be in his lap or he's in yours

You will always play with his hair though

He loves it and doesn't fail to show that he loves it

You force him to sleep though

Levi always protests saying he doesn't need sleep or something like that

Does cave in though because he loves to cuddle you

Not one for dates, but loves to have "game dates"

Like playing games like Animal Crossing together or things like that

Over the moon when you show even the slightest interest in the anime he's watching

Loves cuddling when your on top of him and he can just hold you

.............................................................................................

SATAN

He confessed to you first and so bluntly

You two were just hanging out and he said he loved you

You became so flustered you couldn't even speak without fumbling

Satan found it so cute

You two feed the local cats together

You name each one and Satan loves the names even if the names are silly

He finds it so enchanting how all the cats surround you

Will read you bedtime stories

Has this little book club with you and you two debate about books, even if you don't quite like reading

Likes small simple dates with you

Small cafes, book stores, parks, ect.

If his brothers tease him, they better run

Satan isn't one for physical affection other than hand holding and cheek kisses

When its just you two together though, he has you lay in his lap while he reads

He doesn't mind showing you off if he needs too

But usually one look from Satan is enough to send someone running

Will spoon you when you two sleep

He is the big spoon because he wants you to feel safe

.............................................................................................

ASMODEUS

It was easy to tell Asmo loved you

He said it constantly and one day you said it back and you two became a couple

Will pamper you so much

New clothes almost every day and will do your skin care

Acts as your schedule alarm clock to help you take care of yourself

Loves to show you off

Long kisses and hugs anywhere and everywhere

No one can tease him because anything that is said is treated as a fact

Will be so smug and act as if said brother didn't know how amazing Asmo's S/O was

Will cherish you so much with so much physical attention

Does not fail to make anyone know that you are his and he is yours

Eccentric dates are a must and you two are decked out in the most lavish clothing

Self care dates are also his favorite

Like spa days whether it be an at home spa day or at a retreat

Loves to take pictures of you and with you

Every other photo on his social media is of you

Loves to bury his face into your chest while you pet his hair and tell him how beautiful he is

Its better when it's coming from you

.............................................................................................

BEELZEBUB

You had to confess to him

He was pretty oblivious to his own feelings so Beel was really confused and constantly asked his brother about it

Once you came to him about your feelings though he was like 'Oh so that's what I've been feeling'

He will always save you a severing of food and have really good self control

Loves when you share your snacks or get things for him to try

Loves simple dates with you like walking around and doing whatever comes to mind

It's mostly food related though

Bear hugs are a must whenever he sees you

Oh Beel sees you in the morning? Bear hug. In the halls? Bear hug. When you're about to sleep? Bear hug

He doesn't really care about labeling PDA so he just holds you wherever

Piggy back rides around the halls of RAD is a thing now

Only for you though

His brothers try to tease him about your relationship but Beel is to distracted to care

Loves to cuddle you so much

Like when he is done with everything then he just cuddles you

You're his cheerleader when you watch him work out

You also try to be his coach but its really hard

He loves to put himself on top of you when you two sleep together

But then shifts to have you on top of him when he feels like he's falling asleep as to not crush you

.............................................................................................

BELPHEGOR

Was to lazy to confess and every time Belphie tired he would end up falling asleep

So when you confessed, you thought he was asleep but just mumbled that he liked you back

It was a very casual confession

Naps are an always and even during class

Belphie will sleep on your shoulder and you'll take his notes which he very much appreciates

His brothers don't get a chance to tease him about your relationship since you two are secluded in either Belphie's room or the attic

Stargazing is a frequent thing and also a common date idea amongst you two

Late night picnics are really nice too

Beel sometimes joins but not often and not for long

Pda is sort of something he doesn't care about? Like he doesn't think about it he'll just cuddle you everywhere

Sometimes you drag him outside to do an activity

Sometimes complains about it but down he enjoys it

You two mostly go to parks or secluded areas and just talk

Love that despite who he was before you still love him

Pillow talk is an always!

Will sing you lullabies to help you sleep if you can't

Very physical like as a love language

Your cuddling changes from time to time but its mostly you laying horizontal to the head of the bed and him laying on you as if you were a pillow

Its so if you leave he'll know but pretend to be asleep

.............................................................................................

DIAVOLO

He confessed to you and it was such a big thing

Like a full on promposal

Well more like a regular wedding proposal but let's not get into logistics

Diavolo does not care who is around he will be super physical like hugs and all

Doesn't even realize he's doing it unless Barbatos or Lucifer says something

Diavolo gets so distracted by you that you sometimes have to either help him with work or not be in the same room as him

Loves to take you anywhere you want for dates

Sometimes wonders why you prefer smaller simpler places like cafes rather than extravagant restaurants but doesn't complain

Will spoil you way to much

Has to be held back because will go through all his money just on silly things he'd think you like

Talks about you constantly to everyone like "Oh you know Y/n? Yeah I love them! They're my partner!"

He is so adorable though like if you give him head pats he will just become so flustered

PDA is a must with Diavolo like to an unnecessary degree

You'd probably be his first serious relationship so he tries really hard to impress you

Will also try to help you with studying but you two get so distracted by each other

Barbatos now has two people to look after, but you're more mature than Diavolo you just can't help but give in to Diavolo's ideas

Diavolo is like a puppy that can become really fucking scary if pissed off

You two sleep facing each other with you buried in his chest

He just doesn't want to lose you

.............................................................................................

BARBATOS

You two confessed at the same time

It was over tea and you two happened to say it at the same time "Oh I like you more than a friend"

You were left flustered and Barbatos was pleased you felt the same as him

You help him with his chores which he greatly appreciates

But is also guilty about because he doesn't want you to feel obligated to help him

Sometimes will force you to not do his job for him if you're not feeling good or if you feel forced to do it

Barbatos is actually a very gentle and sweet boyfriend

He isn't to much into PDA because he's either A. to busy for it or B/ you're not with him because of RAD things

Will help you with school work

Diavolo is more lenient with Barbatos' duties so you can spend more time with him

Little tea dates are all you two really need

You two make all the treats and Barbatos tells you all about his day

Kisses you so much when you two are alone

Like that his favorite thing, along with hand holding

Protects you with his whole being

Will give you little gifts and notes when he's been super busy

You understand that he's busy though and you are so patient with him

Sleeping is more of you laying in his lap while you pats your head

Barbatos likes to look out for you and will lose sleep just to make sure nothing hurts you

.............................................................................................

SIMEON

WAS SO FORMAL ABOUT THE CONFESSION ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY

Like Simeon was all "Hello, good day, I love you and I would like to know if you feel the same."

It startled you so much but you accepted

Loves walking through forests and little home dinner dates that he cooked are Simeon's choice

You make him human treats and he loves them so much

Even if you're not good at it he will teach you as best he can and praise you for trying

Luke secretly loves you and sees you as like what an aunt/uncle is

Simeon cherishes you with his whole soul

Head pats and long hugs are his favorite forms of PDA in public

Holds your hand everywhere

Simeon just wants to make sure you don't get lost

Is probably the best to vent to because he has actually really good advice

The best to soothe you if you're having a bad day

Tries to check up on you if you're having a hard time

Always makes time for you so you're never alone for to long

Loves to join in any of your hobbies even if its foreign to him

Simeon is always giving so much and of course you try to give the same amount

Simeon will half spoon you when you two cuddle

He just wants to be able to jump to action when he needs too

.............................................................................................

LUKE

Luke would never really admit it but he does enjoy your friendship

He likes how much you care for him

You also protect him from the demon brothers

The brothers and Simeon tease him about it and Luke gets so easily flustered

People see you two like siblings

He teaches you how to make treats from the celestial realm

Loves to rant about how much Michael would love to meet you

Simeon thanks you for taking care of Luke and understand that sometimes the small angel can be a handful

You don't seem to agree though because of only having mostly good experiences with Luke

Will make you join baking classes with him with Barbatos

Luke always takes you with him when he's exploring the Devildom

People consider you his siblings chaperone

Luke honestly likes more city atmospheres

They make him feel safer than forests full of unknown creatures

Says it's for your safety but you know that's a lie

Tries his best to help you with studying but you two end up asking Simeon or Solomon

You usually explore places with Luke being the one to protect him most of the time

Sleepovers are constantly in his room and he feels bad asking for cuddles sometimes

Of course lays on top of you like a sibling would when their older sibling is half asleep on their side

.............................................................................................

SOLOMON

Solomon confessed to you first

It was through a hypothetical question and you took it seriously like yeah that'd be cool

It both makes you laugh when you two talk about it

DONT. LET. HIM. COOK.

Its usually you go to a restaurant, take out, or you cook (if you can)

He just thinks you want all of his attention

When he tried to make you food, you thought you saw whatever death was on the other side

Other than that Solomon's a pretty good partner

He is stuck to your side during school hours talking to you

Solomons also helps you take efficient notes

Loves anywhere you go as long as your there with him, but has a bias to the forest or clearings that are peaceful

Loves to brag about you to others around, but its so subtle

Active PDA but its very simple

Hand around you or kisses on the cheek

Solomon is very traditional

Also understands you have your own boundaries and doesn't want to overwhelm you

He just wants to keep you safe and happy

Big spoon all the way

Loves having you close while burying his head in your neck

Demon's Creed 3

You were sitting at breakfast and only Beel, Asmo and Levi were there with you. Levi talked about a new anime he started watching. However, none of the brothers answered him.

However, the way he talked about it, it sounded familiar to you. You wanted to look at it, but you didn't get a chance. And besides, according to your father, they were children's fairy tales.

Levi took it as a matter of personal honour for you to see. He was glad he found someone else who was interested in it and wasn't going to leave you in the lurch.

Thanks to this, you agreed to regular visits where you watched anime. Sometimes you managed fewer episodes, and other times you watched until the morning. You loved how Levi enjoyed it.

At this rate, you finished the anime quite quickly. Neither of you wanted to stop hanging out and instead, you started watching more anime and playing a game together now and then.

🟉-🟉-🟉-🟉-🟉

You headed to the library. You wanted to focus on your research again. Not that you wanted to use it for yourself, but you had the impression that it could foil the plans of the Templars and your father.

So far you've only gotten books by asking Satan. However, you didn't want to keep bothering him, so you headed to the library alone. However, you had no idea how big their library was.

You were amazed at how huge it was. There were thousands of books here. You had the impression that it was perhaps even bigger than what you had at home. You looked through the books and wondered where to start.

“You look lost. Are you looking for something?" came Satan's voice. You turned around to find him in the chair right across from you with a book in his lap.

“I'm looking for a book,” you replied, pulling out a piece of paper with the title of the book on it. “But I'm not sure if I'll even be able to find her here. So many books and possibilities,” you marvelled. 

Satan put his book down stood up and took the piece of paper with the title of the book from you before heading to the correct shelf.

"What do you even need a book like that for?" he asked you on the way.

"The Templars are also working on it, and they may figure it out too. I want to get ahead of them and stop them from doing that,” you replied. Furthermore, you wondered if it was possible to summon a demon and use its abilities without limitation. You knew about Isa so you were sure this could be real too.

“Interesting when your father is a Templar and you were one until recently,” he replied, watching you as he led you further, deeper into the library.

"Yes, but everything has its limits. What would become of us if we did not have free will and could not do what we wanted? What do we enjoy? We would just be empty puppets, waiting for the next order," you replied resolutely. Sure, there had to be order to free will, but everything should be in balance.

Satan didn't answer you anymore. Instead, he handed you the book you wanted. You sat down in the chairs together and went about your work. You were working on research and Satan was reading his book.

You were so engrossed in your research that you didn't even notice when he put his book down and instead watched you work with interest in his eyes.

🟉-🟉-🟉-🟉-🟉

You were lying in bed, on the edge of the bed, when you had the impression that someone was calling weakly for help. It wasn't the first time you heard that. Before, however, it was so faint that you attributed it to dreams.

But now you were tossing and turning and even though you were trying to sleep, you kept hearing it and it felt like it was louder than ever.

You decided to go check it out. Have you ever wondered if it was coming from prison? However, when you were there, no one else was there.

You got out of bed and threw the blanket over your shoulders before walking out of your room. You followed the voice down the hall and even missed the door leading to the cells. You were more interested in that now.

You reached the stairs leading to the upper floor. You were sure it was coming from there. You were already clinging to the railing and about to go up the stairs when someone grabbed your arm. You turned around to see Lucifer, who didn't look exactly thrilled.

“I don't know what you're doing here, but you better get back to your room,” he said and even though he was smiling, his voice sent chills down your spine.

“I heard a call for help,” you sputtered even though you could see he didn't want any objections.

"You must have imagined that. This house is pretty old and apparently, it's just some cracking,” he replied, taking your arm and slowly leading you back to your room.

"It will be better if you don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong. It might not turn out well either,” he replied darkly before saying goodbye to you and leaving.

The next day at breakfast you confided in the other brothers. There was Mammon, Levi, Satan and Beel. If Lucifer was there, you'd keep it to yourself. However, you wondered if those calling for help had heard it too, or if they didn't know anything about it.

However, neither of the brothers knew anything about it, nor did they hear it. However, they knew that Lucifer wasn't telling them everything either. Together you began to form a plan to find out what was going on there.

Lucifer was the biggest problem. That was the main point of your meeting. Satan suggested that they could bribe him with a vinyl record. He knew that once he started listening to a record, he wouldn't get up until the record was finished.

Levi was reluctant at first because he didn't like to share his collectables, but eventually, he relented. He had a record in his collection that Lucifer wanted to grind his claws on as it was a limited edition and only a few pieces existed in the world.

Lucifer didn't trust you and wanted to keep you under surveillance since the evening he caught you in the hallway. Moreover, he didn't want you to wander around the corridors and especially didn't want you to explore what was behind the stairs.

That's why he called you to his office after dinner. He had a pile of papers on his desk and he wanted you to help him. You agreed. You thought you were going to stamp documents or something, but he wanted something completely different from you.

You should have simply sat next to him and watched over him so he wouldn't fall asleep. You weren't even surprised at him. Evening and so many papers? Just thinking about it made you want to sleep.

However, you agreed and sat down next to him. You watched him at work and had to reach out to him or nudged him a few times to keep him awake. His fatigue was noticeable and after a few minutes, his head always started to drop.

In the end, however, you were the one who fell asleep. You didn't even realize it happened. Lucifer thought you were paying attention to him, but when he felt your rest on his shoulder, he knew it was over.

He looked at you cautiously before letting out a weak chuckle. He threw his coat over your shoulders before getting back to work. He still had a nice stack of documents he needed to complete.

This is how he took you over almost every evening to help him. Sometimes you fell asleep, but more often you persevered. Even if you returned to your room late every night and didn't have the strength to search the halls.

Despite all that, you weren't going to just give up. The papers were dwindling and you suspected that even if you were happy with him, he wouldn't take you over every night. There will certainly be a chance to discover what is hidden behind the stairs.

Part 4

Levi hugged you tightly with his face against your stomach and whined a little. “Do not leave the bed, my little spell bunny.”

You played with Levi’s hair. “I have to welcome our guest. You will need to act as my familiar today.”

“I can’t cuddle and play with you as a familiar.”

You hummed in thought. “True, but I can cuddle you and give you kisses as a cat. You can sit on my lap all the time or lie over my shoulders.”

He let out a huff. “Fine.”

You cupped his face and kissed the end of his nose. “You’re so sweet. You always make me smile.”

Levi sat up and gazed at you with a sparkle in his eyes. “That’s all I ever want.”

Your heart raced in your chest. “You care so much about me. It’s hard to process sometimes.”

He leaned closer and kissed you. “If I had my way, we would live in my old wooden home here on this land for all eternity. I would spoil you by getting you everything and anything you desire.”

“I don’t want or need much.”

“Tch.”

You laughed a little. “Don’t you start tutting at me.”

He pouted and looked away. “You’re mean to me.”

“I am, aren’t I?”

He let black smoke wrap around him before he turned into a sweet black cat with a little white cravat. “You better hug me a lot like this.”

You scooped him up and squeezed him. “So cute!” You covered his face in kisses making him purr. “You’re adorable. I will never stop cuddling and kissing you.”

Levi nuzzled his head under your jawline. “Good.”

You slipped out of bed and placed him down. “I have to change.”

“You can use magic for that.”

You hummed. “I haven’t learned those spells yet.”

Levi jumped off the bed and ran around you and rubbed himself against your legs. He wrapped his tail around your leg and then flicked. He watched as his magic worked its way around your body and dress you in a cute long dress with your witch hat on your head. He purred in delight at how wonderful you made the outfit look. You were perfect.

You walked over to your mirror and smiled. “I love it, thank you, Levi.” You twirled around. “I look like a Goddess of witches.”

“Perhaps you are.”

You scooped him up into your arms. “I highly doubt that, but thank you for the compliment.”

Levi nuzzled against you. “Comfy. I could sleep like this.”

“You’re adorable.” You walked out of your room and met Hange in the hall at the top of the stairs. “Morning, Hange. Sorry about the visit today.”

Hange smiled softly. “Can’t be helped. He’ll come over and do his checks and then bugger off for a while.”

You giggled at her reaction. “You’re right. We’ll get this over and done with then enjoy our home.”

“I don’t know what he’s going to do here because we don’t have helpers in the home. We use magic to clean and cook.”

“We’ll just have to try our best.”

Hange sighed then looked at Levi in your arms. “Cute cat! Can I pet?”

Levi glared at her. “Tch, only my little witch can.”

“Oh! That’s Levi?”

You hummed a laugh. “Yes. He has issues with Heimdall as I do. So, I thought it’d be best for him to go to the meetings as a cat because right now, Levi has scales and horns.”

Levi nuzzled your neck. “Forgive me. I still hold a lot of rage inside me for what was done to me.”

“Don’t worry Levi, I adore you just the way you are.”

Hange smirked. “So, a month and a bit have passed and you two have already confessed your love and fucked, huh?”

You blushed hard. “N-No.”

Levi tilted his head. “Love? She knows I do.”

You moved through the front door and waited outside. “Well, you’ve called me your soulmate but you haven’t said love.”

Levi gazed at you. “You know I do.”

Hange patted Levi’s head. “Sometimes it needs to be said to reassure someone.”

Levi licked your neck. “Forgive me. I will confess what is in my heart when this disgusting mage is gone.”

You smiled a little. “I don’t want you to feel pressured.”

“I don’t feel that way.”

You stood up straight. “They’re here.”

Levi climbed up your body and wrapped around your shoulders and neck. “I will rest up here.”

You fussed Levi’s head. “I hope you’re comfy.”

“I am.”

You let out a long sigh as the white and gold carriage arrived with butlers and maids climbing out of the carriage from behind. You saw them hurry around the white carriage and get everything out as if they were catering for royalty. Your nose scrunched up when the carriage door opened and Heimdall stepped out with his low-cut shirt, a jacket with a long tail, tight trousers and long boots. His hair was long and white with a few short pieces framing his face. His skin was lightly tanned and his eyes golden. His face was defined with a noticeable jawline, long elegant nose and soft lips.

You whined as he walked closer to you. “I wish I could crawl into a hole.”

Levi nuzzled your neck. “I’m right here.”

Hange reached over and held your hand. “Me too.”

Heimdall walked over to you with a smile on his face as he said your name. “Wonderful to see you again.” He eyed Levi. “With a familiar too. I haven’t seen a cat one in a long time.”

You turned your head and kissed Levi. “He’s the best.”

Heimdall referred to his side. “I’m glad. Oleander? Flowers please.”

You went white when you saw a man you wished you could never see again. Oleander was your ex and he was a wicked man. He was tall and handsome with a slender face, piercing icy blue eyes, tousled black hair, broad shoulders and a slim waist. Oleander was the perfect knight and guard to the mages of light and it seemed he was now the Captain of the guards. He was smooth and strong, but cold in his words. He was possessive of you but in a bad way. He made you feel like you were worthless and only he could give you worth. He made you feel so lonely and your world only consisted of him and you. Oleander was very much like the plant he was named after, poison.

Oleander smirked when he saw you, the gentle smile on his pale face making him look beyond handsome. He offered you a bouquet. “Been a while.”

You shook a little as you took the flowers. “Mm.”

Heimdall smiled. “You know each other?”

Oleander clenched his jaw and spoke in a cold tone. “We know each other rather deeply and intimately.”

You shook as tears filled your eyes and memories of what Oleander did to you flooded into your mind. You dropped the bouquet and covered your mouth with your hand. “S-Sorry.”

Heimdall dropped to one knee and picked up the flowers. “Is everything okay?”

You took Levi off your shoulders and held him tightly. “Yes. Thank you for the flowers. Um…were they from you?”

“Yes, my darling.”

Hange stood between you and Heimdall. “Are you staying for a bit? We don’t have the facilities for you to stay a night. What I mean is, it’s just me and my friend here. We don’t have any staff to wait on you.”

Heimdall chuckled and waved to his staff. “Not to worry, I have brought my staff.”

“How long are you staying?”

“Three days.” He smiled as his staff rushed into the castle. “We have a lot to do.”

Hange gulped. “Well, I don’t think we have enough rooms.”

“Do not worry. I will be staying in the castle with some staff. My guards will be camping out here.”

Oleander stepped to the side so he could see you. “It is a shame I am out here with the guards because I would have enjoyed catching up with you. Perhaps we should have tea together.” He walked right up to you. “I will not take no for an answer. You owe me some answers.”

Levi hissed at Oleander making the Captain of the guard step back. Levi growled a little as his tail flicked.

Oleander pulled a face as he looked at Levi. “Your cat is horrible.”

You hugged Levi. “He’s a good boy whom I care about a lot.”

Heimdall ushered you away from Oleander and towards the castle. “Show me around your home. I want to know what life you’ve been living since you left the city.”

You hugged Levi and looked back at Oleander eyeing you. “Uh, a short tour and then I’m heading to my room. I’ve been training my powers and I get tired easily.”

“A small tour and then a rest.”

You welled up and nodded. “Yes.”

He followed you around the castle as you told him about each part there was. He stopped inside his room as his staff arranged it the way he would like. He smiled softly before turning to you. “Thank you for welcoming us with open arms, though it seems there is something dark between you and my Captain.”

You lowered your head. “I just…I don’t want to be alone with him.”

“Did he do something to you?”

You couldn’t look Heimdall in the eyes. “I’m not ready to talk.”

Heimdall cupped the side of your face which irritated Levi. “Let me give you some healing light, okay? It’ll soothe you.”

You closed your eyes and relaxed a little, but it wasn’t enough. “Thanks.” You smiled a little at him. “I look forward to catching up with you tomorrow. I hope you enjoy your stay here. I must rest.” You bowed your head to him. “Rest well.”

“Thank you.”

You parted ways and hurried to your room. You locked the door and put Levi down. “Mm.” You rubbed the tears streaming down your cheeks. “Levi.”

Levi twisted into smoke and appeared before you in his normal form. He wrapped his arms around you and held you close. “My sweet spell bunny. What’s wrong?”

You fell into Levi’s arms and cried. “I hate him.”

Levi picked you up and carried you to your bed. “Hate who? Which one hurt you?”

“Oleander.”

“What happened?”

You rubbed your tears away. “Before I came here, I was at the mages of light. There are so few of us mages that we all try to stay together. While training there, I met Oleander. He followed me around a lot and looked after me. Soon our friendship turned into something romantic.”

“Tch, I hate him.”

You smiled a little. “Why because he had me before you?”

“Yes.”

You tapped your forehead against Levi’s shoulder. “He was my first. However, while together umm…he started becoming very possessive of me. He isolated me so I had no friends.” You shook a little. “He made me feel like I was weak and pathetic. He mocked me often, but would chase up the mocking with comments that only he could ever love someone as broken as me.” You hugged Levi and pressed your face against his pecs. “He never hit me or raised his voice, but the way he looked at me and talked down to me…I was like a trophy more than someone he loved. I thought for a long time that no one could love me and it took a lot of effort for him to love me.”

Levi’s heart broke for you. He ran his hand over your head. “I’m sorry.”

You whimpered. “The crazy thing is I did everything I could to keep him around and to love me, but he went away to the border for a while for training to make him captain and not having him around helped me to see the mistake I was making. I reached out to my friend Erwin, who was a teacher at the mages of light and he helped me leave and he left there too. I went off on my own for two years before coming here to finish my training.” You rubbed your tears. “I feel safe here and Hange makes me feel special, that my powers are good and that I’m not useless or a defective mage.”

Levi frowned. “He called you a defective mage?”

You nodded and sniffed. “Yeah, because all mages use light magic and I don’t. Hange, Erwin and I are different.” You smiled a little at Levi. You reached up and cupped Levi’s face. “The best part of all this was meeting you. I never thought I’d be so adored, appreciated and cared for but you proved to me that I am lovable.” You leaned up and kissed Levi. “I love you.”

Levi blushed hard. “I love you too. I love you so very much and so deeply.” He covered your face in kisses before crashing his lips against yours. “My love.”

You giggled. “Mine.” You hugged Levi and sighed. “I love your appearance, but if you didn’t have the horns and scales I could tell them both I’m with you.”

Levi smiled a little. “Take a look at me.”

You pulled back and looked at Levi to see his horns were gone. “Levi…”

“Do you still like me? I’ve changed a lot.”

You lightly touched his face. “You’re so handsome. I always think you’re handsome.” You rubbed his soft jawline. “Does this mean you’re slowly letting go of your revenge and rage?”

“Yes, but Heimdall reminds me of…” He clenched his fist. “Sorry, I shouldn’t be so angry.”

“Don’t be sorry. You have every right to be angry.” You held his blackened hands with scales. “I have an idea.” You massaged his hands making gloves appear on them. “Here you go.”

Levi admired his hands. “These gifts?”

“Yes. It’s so we can be together around those two and you can protect me if I get too scared.”

Levi hugged you and flopped down on his side. “I’m so happy. I can be with you and you gave me a gift. I’m so happy.”

You snuggled against Levi. “You make me happy.”

Levi closed his eyes with a soft smile on his face. “Good.”

Levi hugged you from behind and began nipping your shoulder over and over as you lay in bed together. He nuzzled the back of your neck and inhaled your natural scent deeply. “You smell perfect.”

You rolled over and faced Levi. “Good morning and thank you.”

Levi leaned up and looked down at you. “Is today the day you announce our relationship to those men?”

You blushed. “Yes.”

Levi showered your face in kisses. “Perfect.” He pressed his lips against yours and sighed through his nose. “I want to stay in bed with you all day.”

“I would love to, but I must be a host.”

Levi jumped off you and pulled you off the bed. “I will dress you in something wonderful.” He twirled you around causing a sweet long dress to wrap around your body. “You look like a goddess again.”

“Well, I am your goddess.” You giggled. “Right?”

He smirked. “Right.”

Your eyes widened as Levi made his outfit appear. He looked pure perfection in a black suit with a long cravat white cravat. His collar was high and the trimming inside, the cuffs and the big lapels were dark green and lined with gold. You gulped hard as he approached you. You had never seen Levi in princely current clothes before, he was always wearing his old traditional clothes which you loved.

Levi adjusted the gloves you made him. “Do I appear as if I fit in?”

You whined a little. “Y-Yes. You look incredible.”

“Thank you.” He lifted your hand and kissed your fingers. “I want to look like I belong with you.”

“You do with your Viking clothes.”

He blushed a little. “How kind of you.” He took your left hand and kissed the back of it. “Master.”

You whined. “Don’t look at me like that and call me master.”

He smiled at how cute you were. “Why not? Does it turn you on?”

You looked away from him and mumbled. “More than you know.”

“Interesting.”

You flinched. “That was supposed to be an internal thought and not said out loud.” You turned and grabbed your door. “I have to leave.”

Levi wrapped his arms around you and bit your neck. “You’re not going anywhere.”

You giggled in delight then looked up to see Heimdall in the hall about to knock on your door. “Heimdall, hello.”

Heimdall stared at Levi. “Who is this man?”

Levi squeezed you. “I am her soulmate and lover.”

“I did not know you were taken.”

You blushed. “We’ve been a couple for over a month.”

“This was not approved by the order.”

You squeezed Levi’s upper arms. “I’m not part of the order. I left.”

Heimdall released a long sigh. “You should be with a person of magical abilities.”

Levi offered his hand making lights and water swirl around. “Does this prove anything?”

“You…but…you haven’t been to the academy!”

Levi kissed your neck. “I’m from a different land. I came here because I heard there were magic things here. So, I travelled here and found this little witch and fell in love.”

Heimdall stared at you. “Witch?”

You smiled softly. “I picked the title instead of mage. I prefer it.”

“Mm.”

Levi released you and leaned in the doorway and stood between you and Heimdall. “I believe today you are supposed to discuss a few things with my lover?” He moved towards Heimdall. “Shall we go?”

“Fine.”

Levi took your hand and pulled you against him. “Allow me to escort you today.”

You kissed Levi’s cheek. “Thank you.” You felt less nervous now, but there was still a clenching in your gut. You were terrified of what might be said and possibly being pulled away from Levi. You squeezed Levi a little and hoped that everything would play out fine over these three days. “Just that room there.”

Heimdall looked back at you. “Actually, we are having our meeting outside. You have such a wonderful land.” He led you outside to a sitting area all set up by him. “I hope you don’t mind, but we have a guest.”

You looked over at Oleander sitting at the table. “Levi.”

Oleander stood up as Levi shielded you. “Good morning.” He softly said your name and walked over. “You look decent this morning.”

You gripped Levi’s back and hid more. “Levi.”

Oleander glanced at Levi. “Levi? Who are you?”

Heimdall sighed. “Apparently, they are lovers. He is from another land and he has powers.”

“They shouldn’t be together. There are rules and laws.”

Levi led you to a seat. “They do not apply to us. We have actively chosen not to be a part of the mages of light.” He glared at them. “You have no say over her life, even if she was a part of your group.”

Heimdall sat down. “I am sensing this great tension. Was there something I missed?”

Levi poured you a drink. “Have this.”

You helped the cup and smiled. “Thank you.”

Oleander slammed his hand on the table. “I will not stand for this.”

Heimdall gazed at his Captain. “Speak your issue.”

“She…she and I were a couple.”

“What?”

Oleander clenched his fist tightly making his glove groan. “We were a couple. I went to the borders for two weeks and when I returned she was gone. She left nothing behind, no note, no word, nothing. As far as I’m concerned, we are still a couple. I demand her back.”

Levi snarled. “You don’t touch her.”

Oleander flipped the table and grabbed you making you scream. “I’m taking what is mine.”

Levi stood up. “Give. Her. Back.”

Oleander dropped you when a boulder slammed into him. “Ugh!”

You closed your eyes and thought about good things making you fly. “Levi!”

Oleander got up and pulled out his sword as magic engulfed it. “I don’t care who you are or what you can do, I will take my woman back.”

Heimdall placed a wall of light between both men. “Enough! Oleander we need to talk about this and you need to allow her to give you a reason for her actions.” He sighed. “You also need to respect that Levi is romantically involved with her.”

“She was mine.”

“And now she’s not.” He looked over at you. “We have a lot to talk about. Get over here and tell me what in the world is going on. You’re flying, my Captain is all over you and your lover seems to be more powerful than most.”

You floated down and whined. “Okay, we’ll talk.” You leaned up and kissed Levi. “Be good.”

Levi relaxed. “Okay.”

You hurried over to Heimdall. “Let’s go for a walk.”

Heimdall walked with you to the pier. “Explain yourself.”

You clutched your chest. “I have been training hard and taught myself how to fly.”

Heimdall smiled. “Well done. I’m proud of you. You’re on a high level of magic. You should be a high mage like me. You should be standing by my side back in the city.”

You shook your head. “I don’t want to do that. I want to learn magic in nature and be at peace. I love being here and I’m happy here. I was not happy in the city.”

He released a long sigh. “I am sorry you found no comfort there.” He reached over and placed his hand on your shoulder. “I have failed as the leader of the mages of light.”

You pulled a little face and placed your hand on Heimdall’s. “I appreciate the concern, but my choice will not change. I want to stay here. I’m not like the mages of light. I cannot do what you and others do. My magic is different, so I will remain here.”

He nodded and hummed in response. “Right. Now, tell me about you and my Captain.”

“We dated for a while and it wasn’t good.”

He tilted his head. “What did he do?”

You gulped hard. “I don’t want to talk about it, okay? It’s too…I’m not ready.”

He narrowed his eyes and then looked over at his Captain. “You seemed scared of him.”

“He’s a cold man, okay?” You stood in front of Heimdall to make him look at you. “He went away for two weeks and I took my chance to leave him. I was too scared to do it in person. I just packed everything and went travelling.”

“He must have been cruel for you to do that.”

You fiddled with your dress. “Mm…so, what else did you want to talk about?”

“Your lover.”

You nodded and smiled softly as you thought of Levi. “He’s my soulmate.”

Heimdall frowned. “He seems very touchy. Are you sure you’re not being pressured into this?”

“Yes.” You giggled and nibbled your lip. “I adore him and he didn’t pressure me into being with him.”

“Are you sure?”

You turned and looked over at Levi. “Yes. I love him.”

Heimdall clenched his jaw and grabbed your upper arm. “I am concerned about his power.”

You gazed at Heimdall. “He’d never hurt me or others. All he wants is to be with me and to be here with me.”

Heimdall frowned. “That’s all? Someone with that incredible power would want more.”

You shook your head. “He just wants me.”

“I could do better.”

You gazed at Heimdall. “I don’t know you. I don’t know who you are or what you do. We don’t know anything about each other, so I highly doubt that you could be better. Levi knows everything there is about me and we’re going to build a home here and spend our life together here.”

Heimdall gripped your arm tightly and lowered his head. “I would like to visit here more.”

“For work reasons?”

He gazed at you. “For the views, the peace and comfort.”

Your eyes searched his and knew that there was something behind his words that made you uncomfortable. “Mm…well, I have to return to Levi. Thank you for stopping them from fighting.” You hurried over to Levi and jumped into his arms. “Levi!”

Levi lifted you and kissed you with a little moan. “I missed you.”

“I missed you too.”

Levi nuzzled the crook of your neck. “You’re the best. I love you. You’re my soulmate.”

You kissed Levi and smiled. “Thank you for protecting me.”

“You’re welcome.”

Oleander walked over. “This isn’t over. I need you to explain yourself.”

Levi turned with you in his arms and growled. “Mine.”

“She owes me an explanation.”

“Mine!”

You whispered in Levi’s ear. “Calm down. If you get upset your horn will come back.”

Levi whined a little. “Forgive me. I’ll calm myself.” He nuzzled against you. “You calm me.”

“I’m glad.”

Heimdall walked over and used his magic to fix the tables and chairs. “Oleander, please patrol the area and train the guards. Tomorrow I am sure you can have the talk you want.”

Oleander let out a long sigh. “Fine.”

Levi squeezed you. “I’m taking this one to rest. I am sorry for my actions today, but I have to protect the woman I love.”

Heimdall bowed. “I understand. I will see you both tomorrow.”

Levi turned and carried you inside the castle. “Are you okay?”

You hummed. “I’m okay. I just need my bed and you.”

Levi smiled softly. “Cuddles?”

“Yes.”

Levi kissed your forehead. “Cuddles.”

COME AND GET YOUR LOVE | STANCY

chapter 6

“ meet the harringtons ”

back to main page

The rest of the weekend went by in a flash. Nancy had woken up Saturday morning, head pounding and eyes sensitive to light. She had to stay in bed for the whole weekend, ignoring her schoolwork as much as she could. Eyes hazy and full of regret, Nancy knew that this would backfire somehow, someway. Chrissy Cunningham would make it known that Nancy had gotten drunk.

The worst part was the fact that she couldn't remember everything. All she could recall was when she walked away from Steve at the party and felt the weight of Steve Harrington on her body as she lay in bed. Of course, he wasn't taking advantage of her. The boy was simply putting the covers over her body so she could sleep peacefully.

Steve had helped Nancy up the water spout, put her in bed, and let her sleep for the night. She stayed put, vague memories of the night creeping into her mind. Saturday morning, she woke up to a call from the devil herself: Robin Buckley. Robin had cursed Nancy out, telling her to never walk away ever again. Nancy felt like she was getting scolded by her mother, which only made her more depressed.

On top of that, Steve hadn't called her at all. He didn't attempt to talk to her or ask her if she was doing okay. It was depressing, really, that Nancy even cared about Steve calling. She just thought of it as more of a respect thing. She figured that he was off with Chrissy, leaving Nancy in the dust to go back to the party. But she tried her best not to jump to conclusions.

That's why, on Monday morning, Nancy didn't even try to look presentable. She went from trying her best to not giving a crap about her outfits. Instead of a more put-together look, Nancy decided on a simple look: her favorite pair of Levi Jeans with a long-sleeved white henley. She layered a pink cardigan on top, as well as her usual pair of white sneakers that she found at a garage sale years ago.

Her hair was normal, down and cascaded. Nancy's eyes remained dull, bags still hanging below. She tightened her grip around her backpack, staring out the window of the car as her mom drove her to school. Nancy let out a shaky sigh, scared to make a peep. Her mom had no idea of Nancy's acts at the party, especially how she got home and the state she was in. The last thing Nancy wanted to do was worry her mom. "Hey, mom?"

"Yes?" Her mother replied.

Nancy bit down on her bottom lip, chewing on the cracked skin. "You think it's normal for a guy not to call...even after he said he would?"

Nancy's mother didn't answer, thinking for a moment. "He said he would?"

Nancy sighed, looking down at her lap. "Kind of? I mean...it was implied?"

"So, he never said he would call you."

Nancy looked at her mom, mouth open trying to form words. Instead, she had to tell her brain to calm down to prevent from spilling some secrets as to why Nancy thought she deserved a call. "No...I guess not."

Nancy's mother sighed. "I wouldn't stress about it, Nance. You're a beautiful girl who's going to find a great guy someday. Okay?"

All Nancy could do was nod. Before she knew it, they had pulled up to Hawkins High School. Nancy looked out the window, a bubble forming in her chest. Her eyes softened, seeing Steve from a few yards away. Giving her mom a quick thanks, Nancy was out of the car and onto school property. The girl shut the car door, listening to the screeches of the tires as her mom drove away.

Nancy peeled her eyes away from the car, staring at the school. Her eyes couldn't pull away from the crowd, noticing a few people looking at her. With a shaky breath, Nancy crossed her arms over her chest in a swift manner. She pulled the cardigan close to her body, playing with the small button. Her curls were tighter today but laid lazily upon her head. She wished she had time to do her hair this morning.

As she walked into the school, all eyes were on her. Some people gave her a strange look, while others flashed her with a smile. A few greetings flew her way, smacking her in the face with surprise. She returned the favor, smiling softly as she felt anxious as ever. Running her hand up and down her arm, Nancy tried her best to remain calm. It didn't help that when she passed by Eddie Munson and Billy Hargrove, they both whistled at her. And right beside them, Chrissy Cunningham stood with her usual smug look.

At times like these, she wished that she had Steve by her side.

Approaching her locker, Nancy placed all her attention on it. She twisted to the knob, focusing hard to get it correct. It took her a few moments and some shaky laughs to get the combination right and have the lock pop open. Shoving her bag in there, Nancy almost forgot about the unbearable attention she was getting. That was until someone snaked up behind her, leaned their lips down to her ear, and whispered. "Hi,"

Nancy jumped and spun around, locking eyes with the last person she wanted to see. "Hi, Steve." The very last person she wanted to see. Nancy glanced around the hallway, taking notice of all the beady eyes staring at her. She turned her attention back to her locker, organizing her books for the day.

Steve leaned against the locker, letterman jacket on and hair done as usual. He wore a pair of black sunglasses on top of his head, hands shoved into the pockets of his jacket. His eyes looked anywhere but Nancy. "What's with the formalities, sweetheart?"

The boy glanced around, noticing that people were staring a bit at Nancy. For some reason, he felt an urge to protect Nancy from the stares, confusion at an all-time high. "We're not friends nor dating." She spoke, closing her locker. Nancy spun around, books for the next couple of classes in her hands.

"Hey!" He scolded a bit, glancing around to make sure no one heard her statement. Steve brought his attention to Nancy, eyes narrowed with a look of disgust on his face.

"Oh, who cares? It's not like this was going to last very long anyway." Nancy pushed past Steve.

The boy turned around, following Nancy in a heartbeat. "Hey, what's the matter?" He asked, jogging to catch up to Nancy.

"There's nothing wrong." Nancy continued to walk.

"Bullshit." He grabbed her arm and spun Nancy around.

The girl felt her cheeks heat up, eyes avoiding Steve as much as possible. Nancy gulped, staring up at Steve who was already staring back at her. His hand gripped around her wrist, causing her to wince slightly. The girl pulled her arm away, rubbing her wrist gently. "It's...It's not bullshit. You scored with Chrissy on Friday I'm assuming since you didn't call me this whole weekend."

The corner of Steve's lips curled up into a smirk as Nancy went on a tangent. "Wait...you're acting this way because I didn't call you? God, Wheeler, I had no idea you felt this way about me."

Nancy's eyes widened. "Oh, shut up! I'm not upset because you didn't call me. I'm just more upset over the fact that you ditched me! I didn't know the plan was done, hm? It's just pathetic and I'm done with the deal. And to think, it was actually going to work! But you just had to go and leave me to go be with Chrissy!"

Steve listened, crossing his arms over his chest. His smirk only grew wider, curiosity getting the best of him. "You think I didn't call you all weekend because I ditched you after the party to go be with Chrissy?"

Nancy listened to his words, realizing how ridiculous it sounded but she had to keep up the act. "Precisely."

"God, you're pathetic." Steve sighed. "I didn't go back to the party, Nance. I just went home and went to bed. The rest of the weekend I just spent with my parents who are never around. And, occasionally, smoked some weed at night. That's all. Super casual, fun weekend."

Nancy's cheeks brightened. The girl felt like an idiot. It didn't help that Steve's smirk grew wider the more her cheeks reddened. "Awesome." She mumbled, rubbing her hands up and down her arms once again.

"Jealous?"

"Absolutely not!" Nancy shouted, causing the hallway to peer down at her. She rolled her eyes, turning her attention back to Steve. "I don't have a jealous bone in my body."

"Then why did you just assume I ditched you for Chrissy?"

"Because!" Nancy sighed. "Because..." She felt herself calm down, slowly but surely. "I'd like to actually gain some sort of advantage out of this...agreement."

Steve thought for a moment before the words suddenly clicked in his head. "Ah..." He chuckled, running a hand through his hair. "How about this? We have our first study session tonight. I give you some tips, you give me some tips. Both in two, totally unrelated topics. It's perfect, yeah?"

Nancy's signature scowl returned to her lips. However, at the end of the day, the two had an agreement. She would tutor him to gain information on Jonathan, all while adding a bonus topic to her college resume. In exchange, he got to make Chrissy jealous while getting his grades up for school. It was foolproof, even though the party had taken a wrench into their plans.

Nancy had made a complete fool of herself and didn't even get to talk to Jonathan. On the other hand, Steve wasted his night taking care of Nancy. Deep down, she knew she didn't deserve him. He took care of her and brought her home and into bed. Nancy always assumed that he would be the type to just ditch his date, not a care in the world unless it pertained to him. However, he showed a new side that Nancy could barely remember.

"Fine." Nancy sighed. "Library after school."

"Cool." Steve smiled. "Your place after dinner sounds awesome!"

"Huh?"

"See ya!" Steve walked away, never looking back.

Nancy spun around on her heels, scoffing as she watched Steve leave her. She felt stupid, allowing him to walk all over her like that. However, she found herself smiling at just how charming Steve Harrington could be.

Steve hunched over his desk in Journalism, folding paper to create a makeshift paper airplane. His tongue stuck out as he concentrated, the creases nice and sharp. "Aha!" He exclaimed, holding up the precious piece of paper he had just created. "What do you think, hm?"

Chrissy glanced over, her fingers typing away on the computer in front of her. She looked at Steve, then down at his airplane. "Wow, Steve! How...precise!" She giggled nervously, hands hovering over the keyboard. "How'd you make it so...clean?"

Steve smirked, leaning back in his seat. The boy shrugged. "I'm a master at paper airplanes!"

"And you're done." Nancy interrupted, snatching the paper airplane from his grip.

Steve spun around a look of shock across his face. "How dare you?"

Nancy flashed a smug smile, holding the airplane in her hands. "You can get it back after you complete your assignment." Her eyes narrowed to the computer in front of him, the word document empty as usual. "We just got these computers...it's a privilege that you got this job."

"It's a privilege that I'm using a computer? Truly, I don't care. Give me a typewriter and I could do just as good."

"Well."

"Huh?"

Nancy scoffed. "You could do just as well. Not good. The first lesson in our sessions, huh?"

Steve shushed Nancy, turning his attention toward the computer. "Well...I can do well whenever I wanna do well."

Nancy rolled her eyes. "Whatever."

"What exactly am I writing about?"

"I told everyone to come to class with a rough draft prepared for their assignment. Since you've failed to do so, you're already a step behind. Therefore, go grab an encyclopedia and find a topic."

"Jeez, okay, boss." Steve pouted.

Nancy glanced over at Chrissy. The redhead had a dull expression on her face, but her eyes were full of hatred. Nancy felt her cheeks heat up, embarrassed over the fact that Chrissy was listening to their conversation the whole time. Looking down at the airplane in her hand, Nancy also came off as rude for taking Steve's toy. Granted, it was her job to keep people in check. However, it would help him when it came to their deal. "Write about something you like, Steve. Literally anything."

Steve glanced up at Nancy, eyebrows raised in suspicion. "What's with the change of heart?"

"Just..." Nancy sighed, dropping the airplane onto Steve's desk. "Just go with it. Mhm?"

Steve thought for a moment. He glanced around the room, catching wind of Chrissy. His eyes went wide as he stared back at Nancy, a smile growing. "Ohhhh." He nodded, cracking his knuckles and neck before giving his full attention to Chrissy, the computer, and the paper plane. "Chrissy, would you do the honors?"

Chrissy beamed. "Sure!" She smiled and carefully took the plane from Steve. With one quick throw, she aimed the plane toward Nancy.

The plane flew through the air, hitting Nancy square on the nose. The brunette let out a frustrated sigh as Steve and Chrissy erupted into a fit of giggles. Before they could insult her anymore, Nancy turned on her heel. With a defeated look on her face, she made her way back toward the desk.

Steve took notice, his laughter calming down as he watched Nancy walk away. "Nancy!" He called out, sighing once she ignored his call. The boy felt guilt, his smile fading completely. All he could hear was Chrissy's giggles, but his attention stayed focused on Nancy. The look on her face made him want to sigh, talk to her, and ask why she was upset. Beg for an explanation, even though he knew exactly why she looked defeated.

His mood changed as his attention shifted elsewhere. Someone approached Nancy, hands shoved into their pockets with a grin on their lips.

Jonathan Byers.

Nancy's hands worked quickly, organizing her papers. She let out a few sighs, trying to contain her anger from Steve's actions toward her. At the end of the day, Steve Harrington would always be a jerk. He didn't deserve her, and Nancy was starting to wonder if this bet was even worth it.

"Nancy?"

The girl looked up, eyes softening at the sight in front of her. "Jonathan!" She stood up frantically, a smile on her face. Nancy adjusted her hair, crossing her arms over her chest with a smile. "Hi! How're you? Everything okay?"

The boy stood with a smile on his lips, watching as Nancy became flustered by his sudden appearance. "Everything's great. Are...are you okay?"

"Yes!" Nancy beamed. "Why wouldn't I be?"

The girl looked around the room, gaining eye contact with Steve. The boy sat in his chair and leaned back with his arms across his chest. He watched Nancy look like a fool, amusement spreading throughout his body. But all Nancy was focused on was trying to come up with some type of signal to get his attention.

Steve could tell Nancy was struggling. Even though he was enjoying the view, he figured this was his chance to prove to Nancy that he was in it to win it. He was as much involved in this agreement as much as Nancy was. Now was his time to shine, providing Nancy with the best advice he could offer from afar.

"Smile." He mouthed, showing off his smile toward Nancy.

One thing about Nancy was that she was the worst at reading lips. Her eyebrows furrowed as she tried to make out what he was saying. However, the sudden action of Steve's smile gave away the hint. She nodded slightly, attention going back to Jonathan. A smile spread across her lips, wide and full of teeth.

Steve shook his head, indicating to her that her smile was too much. Almost scary-looking. The girl caught wind of Steve toning down the smile, following his instructions.

The sudden back and forth of eye contact brought up concerns for Jonathan. "You seem a bit...flustered." Jonathan chuckled.

Nancy glanced back at Jonathan, her smile only growing more awkward. A nervous laugh escaped his lips. "Flustered? No...No! Not at all!"

"Oh, I get it," Jonathan said. "The party! You really let loose, ya know?"

Steve's hand flew to his mouth, suffocating himself to prevent his laughter from bursting out. He stared at Nancy with happiness in his eyes, amused at the fact that Jonathan had brought up her infamous moment at Chrissy's party.

However, Nancy found it anything but amusing. She also found it odd how she managed to completely miss Jonathan at the party. Between Steve prying her away from Chrissy and her drunken haze, Nancy mentally cursed herself. How could she have been so drunk to the point of missing the chance to have a conversation with Jonathan?

"Yeah!" Nancy laughed, the nerves showing through her teeth.

Steve's laughter calmed down as he heard Nancy's laugh. It was horrid, deep, and full of tiny snorts. The boy rolled his eyes before shaking his head at Nancy. "Less laugh, more smile." He mouthed, demonstrating once again.

Nancy leaned against the desk, trying to make out what Steve was saying. However, she knew that she lacked in the 'being able to read lips' department. Completely missing the first word of his sentence, Nancy emphasized her laughter and flashed her goofiest smile.

Jonathan's eyebrows furrowed, a nervous chuckle escaping his lips.

Steve's eyes went wide, and he shook his head. He signaled Nancy, his arms crossing over one another to form an X.

Nancy got the hint, her cries of laughter dying down at the seams. She looked up at Jonathan, sighing. "Sorry. I..." Her eyes trailed off, finding Steve's once again.

The jock let out a frustrated grunt, leaning back in his chair. He tried his best with advice, but he was slowly giving up. Nancy sucked at reading lips and he viewed Nancy as a lost cause. So, he coughed up the only piece of advice he could come up with on the spot. "Just...Be yourself."

Nancy's eyes softened at the advice. It never occurred to her that she didn't take advice well, considering what Steve gave her was difficult enough. Being herself seemed like a risk she was willing to take, considering how awful she was doing so far with Jonathan. Her attention flashed back to Jonathan, a soft smile on her lips. "I'm sorry. I just...that was my first party, you know?"

Jonathan's eyes adjusted. "Wait, really? Well, what a great first impression."

Nancy's smile grew wider. "You think?"

"Oh, for sure. I enjoyed it at least." Jonathan smirked, running a hand through his hair.

Nancy nodded. "Well, at least someone did."

"Most did. I could tell with all the cheering and shit."

The two shared a fit of giggles, Nancy's cheeks turning bright red as she watched Jonathan. He always knew how to make her feel like a little girl again, experiencing a crush for the first time.

"Anyways," Jonathan chuckled, clearing his throat for a moment. "I was just wondering...if you'd like to go to my house after homecoming? I'm throwing a party. Flyers haven't been made but the after-parties are usually at mine..."

Steve's ears perked up. He heard the question, his heart fluttering for Nancy. The brunette's head shot up, staring deep into Nancy's eyes. All he could do was nod rapidly to show her how important it was that she agreed. No playing hard to get or beating around the bush. This would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Nancy. "Yes!" Instead of mouthing the word, Steve's comment echoed throughout the whole room.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their attention toward Steve. Jonathan faced the boy, a scoff escaping his lips. Nancy stood dumbfounded, eyes widened and her usual scowl attached to her lips. She stared at Steve with a 'thanks for that' kind of look on her face.

Steve paused for a moment, trying to come up with a random statement. "Yes...I finally discovered what I was to write about!"

The whole room groaned and returned back to their chores. Nancy's eyes stayed glued to Steve, who sent her an apology through his puppy dog eyes. Before she could mouth something back to Steve, Jonathan interjected her thoughts.

"Nancy?"

The girl looked back toward her crush, the smile instantly returning to her lips. "Oh! Uh..." She paused for dramatic effect, a smile forming on her lips. "I'd love to go!"

It was Jonathan's turn to beam. "Really?"

Nancy nodded. "Really."

"Sweet!" The boy exclaimed. "Amazing. I'll see you then, Nance. Oh, and you can bring Steve. He's usually invited but I figured you could pass along the message."

All the girl could do was smile, watching as he walked away. Her eyes immediately went to his butt, sighing in awe. Nancy looked over to her partner. Steve sat at his desk, hands up wondering what had happened. But all Nancy did was give him a thumbs up.

With this reaction, Steve felt the hole in his heart fills with joy. He had finally given what Nancy deserved: a conversation with Jonathan Byers. Granted, the two couldn't go on a proper date. But Steve figured that by homecoming time, Nancy would be on the market again just in time for Jonathan to ask her out. Or better, at the after-party they could declare their feelings for one another. It was perfect.

And nothing beats seeing a smile on Nancy Wheeler's face.

"Another party?!" Robin exclaimed as Nancy shut her locker door.

Nancy sighed, rubbing her eyes frantically. She looked at her friend, leaning against the lockers. "Jonathan invited me."

"Jonathan Byers? Your biggest crush of all time has asked you, Nancy Wheeler, to attend his Homecoming party?!"

"Precisely." Nancy nodded.

"And you said...?"

"Yes of course." Nancy sighed, rubbing her hands up and down her arms. "But Steve—"

"Screw Steve!" Robin exclaimed, a smile spread across her face. "We're going to that damn party! The Byers house is sooo isolated, I'm sure it's going to be so much fun!"

Nancy thought for a moment. Senior year was supposed to be a year of many lasts, yet she was experiencing a lot of firsts. First parties, first homecoming, and first sporting events to come as Steve's fake girlfriend. Granted, she was waiting for a few lasts. Last time walking down the hallways, last time feeling ignored by her peers and having to submit a college application. Going to this party seemed bittersweet in a sense. "Maybe."

"Maybe?!"

"Maybe, Rob." Nancy sighed. "First, who knows if I'll even be going to homecoming. Second, it depends on homework and if I need to stay home for Mike and—"

"Blah, blah, blah!" Robin chuckled. "This is your senior year, Nancy! Who cares about school work and if you get asked to homecoming?"

"I care!" Nancy said, feeling sadness flood her chest. "Steve and I...just started dating. I don't know if I'm ready to just...party all the time. School is my number one priority, Robin. Besides, I won't be going to homecoming if he doesn't ask me. I've never been asked to homecoming or any kind of dance! Just because I got invited to a stupid party doesn't mean I need to give up on everything and do everything for Steve!"

Robin stared speechless. The girl let out a shaky sigh, nodding. "I'm sorry, Nance, I didn't mean it to come off that way."

"It's fine." Nancy sighed, pulling her bag over her shoulders. "I have to go study. I'll see you."

Before Robin could answer, Nancy was bolting down the hallway. Not that she was upset at Robin, but her best friend's enthusiasm threw her for a curve ball. Nancy had just gotten used to this sort of spotlight, and she felt that it was all getting to become too much. All she hoped was that Steve would be in the library, ready to study.

Her feet were fast and eventually brought her to the library. She walked in, adjusting her outfit to look as presentable as possible.

Giving a quick greeting to the librarian, Nancy found her way around the library. She glanced around for Steve, wondering if he was there already. Seeing many empty tables, Nancy figured that Steve hadn't arrived. Remembering their past conversation from this morning, Nancy wondered if Steve was going to show up at all. With a quick grunt, Nancy waltzed over to the pay phone that stood outside the library doors.

Digging into her backpack for some change, she managed to find a couple of quarters, plugging them into the tiny slots of the phone. She dialed his number, cringing over the fact that she had it memorized. Listening to the dial tone, Nancy sat with her thoughts. The phone continued to ring until it eventually picked up. "Harrington residence, how many I help you?"

Nancy froze. The girl glanced around, realizing that someone other than Steve had just picked up the phone. Mouth opened ajar, she took a moment to collect her thoughts. "He...Hello." Nancy cleared her throat. "Is...Steve home?"

"Steve?" The other person questioned. "Well, he's at practice actually. Who's calling?"

"Uhm, Nancy Wheeler." Nancy gripped the phone. Of course, he had been at practice.

"Nancy Wheeler? As in Karen Wheeler's daughter."

Her eyebrows furrowed. "Uhm...yes. Yes, ma'am."

"Oh, what a small world! This is Jennifer Harrington, I used to work with your mother!"

Jennifer Harrington never rang any bells until Nancy realized something. The only girl in Steve's family was his mother, considering there had been no mention of a sister, cousin, or anything under the realm. It was obvious that Nancy was on the phone with Jennifer Harrington, Steve's mother. "Re-Really? Wow, that's amazing! Is this...Steve's mom?"

"It sure is!" The voice beamed. "Did you want me to leave a message for him?"

Nancy's eyes screwed shut as she tried to collect her thoughts. "Oh, uhm...We're supposed to have a tutoring session and I just wasn't sure when. I assume not now because he's in practice." Nancy chuckled nervously.

"A tutoring session? Wow, I'm so proud of Stevie." Nancy blushed at the comment. "How about you come here? I'd love to see you, it's been too long! I've known you since you were young, Nancy, believe it or not. I must see you all grown up and with my Stevie!"

"Oh, wow," Nancy mumbled to herself. Steve's mother seemed eccentric, but she went along with it anyway. "I don't know if I'm wanted at Steve's house, ma'am."

"Nonsense! This is my house and I want you here! Stevie is usually done with practice around 6, so why don't you stop by at 7? Just in time for dinner."

"I don't think so, I wouldn't want to intrude." Nancy hoped that Jennifer would give it, but something told her that his mother wouldn't budge.

"Oh, Nancy Wheeler, you're just like your mother. Please, come for dinner. Afterward, you can continue your tutoring session. Is this a new thing? Steve hasn't mentioned anything."

Nancy rolled her eyes at the normal circumstances of Steve Harrington. "Yes, we're starting our sessions..."

"Amazing! God knows Stevie needs it." Jennifer huffed. "Anyways, come over tonight at 7. I'll let Steve know!"

"Wait, I don't think I—"

"I'll see you then, Nancy!" Jennifer hung up the phone before Nancy could get another word in.

Pulling the phone away from her ear, Nancy hung the phone in defeat. With a tough grunt, Nancy let out a soft wail. How did she manage to get wrapped up in a meal with Steve and his family tonight, completely without Steve knowing? She figured he was going to murder her, but probably not until after their deal was done.

Steve ran through the front door, slamming the door behind him. He rushed off into the kitchen, sliding his duffel bag and his jacket off of his arms. "Hi, ma!" He shouted, throwing his belongings onto the nearest table at the dining room table.

Paying no mind to his mother, Steve frantically searched for his keys. "How did I manage to lose them so fast?!"

Jennifer Harrington, small and full of might, spun around. She stood in front of the stove, cooking what seemed like chicken. The sizzling of the food made Steve's stomach churn, hungry for anything. "Hi, Stevie!"

Steve glanced at his mom and did a double-take at the sight. His eyebrows furrowed, and he watched as his mom went back to cooking. "Hi..." His eyes wandered off to the stove, the aroma filling his nose. It was a rare sight to see his mother cooking, especially in their own kitchen. He waltzed over, leaning over his mom. "Chicken?"

"Yes!" Jennifer beamed. She flipped the cutlets over, allowing the other side to cook.

Steve never understood his family. His parents would leave constantly for business trips and it was very rare whenever his parents were home. Usually, when they were home, they barely spent time together as a family. But he deeply wished to spend more time with them, especially before going off to college. "What's the occasion?"

"Nothing!" Jennifer smiled, glancing at her son. She stared at him for a moment, noticing his body drenched in sweat. "Practice?"

"Everyday, ma." Steve sighed, shaking his head in defeat. He glanced over at the calendar, seeing all the dates filled with trips and random HOA meeting dates.

"Right." Jennifer said.

Steve nodded before retreating to his stuff. "Listen, I'm gonna go out with Eddie and Billy. Is that alright?"

"Go out?" Jennifer asked. "No, we're having dinner."

"Since when do we have dinner?"

"Since I invited your friend over."

Steve thought for a moment. He had just mentioned his friends, Eddie and Billy, so Jennifer must have been referring to someone else. He racked his brain, wondering if he had made any plans with a random girl a while ago, or if Chrissy had reached out. "My friend?"

"Nancy Wheeler?" Jennifer asked. "I'm great friends with her mother. I can't wait to see her!"

Steve's emotions flushed throughout his whole body. The boy stood stunned, gripping the sides of the closest thing: the dining room table. He looked down for a moment, seeing imprints from his nails. "Nancy?"

"Yeah," Jennifer smiled. "She called asking for you. I figured that I would invite her to dinner since you two obviously are friends."

"Ma!" Steve sighed. He spun around, placing his hands on his hips. First, he found it strange that Nancy was calling for him. But then he realized he had completely left her out of the loop. "Why would you invite her?"

Jennifer turned around, turning down the stove to prevent the chicken from burning. "Is that an issue?"

"Yes!" Steve said. The boy was confused, anxious, and full of rage. The vague memory of Nancy mentioning tutoring crossed his mind, which caused him to mentally curse at himself. Nancy had called to ask about tutoring, and he had forgotten to remind her of his plans. At times like these, he wished his parents weren't home to answer the phone. "Did she call or something?"

It's not that he didn't want Nancy to come over. He just found his family life a bit embarrassing, and Steve felt it was too soon for Nancy to come. But it was too late the moment he heard a knock on the front door. That meant Nancy was going from 0 to 100 in less than a couple of weeks.

Jennifer giggled. "Yes, she seemed eager to talk to you. So, I just made it easier and invited her over. Now, go freshen up before she's here. You can maybe see Billy and Eddie afterward."

"Maybe? Ma, you barely come home and the one time you do, I'm forced to have dinner with you and a girl that is just my tutor!"

His eyes glanced over at the clock, reading half past 7. With a sigh, he watched as Jennifer began to place pasta into the boiling pot of water. "Steven, do not give me attitude." Jennifer huffed. Steve knew she meant business whenever she used his full name. "Stevie, I understand if you're upset. I just thought I'd do a good thing and invite your girlfriend over!"

"She's not my girlfriend!" Steve sighed, defeated. He smelled horrible from his practice, and he wanted Nancy nowhere near his house. The boy realized that he would potentially scare the living crap out of Nancy with his family. But he tried his best to push his feelings aside as he walked over to the front door.

As he walked, Steve smelled his armpits. He cringed for a moment, wishing he had come home earlier to take a quick shower. However, he wasn't expecting company so soon.

Opening the front door, his body immediately calmed. There stood Nancy Wheeler, dressed to the nines and holding some sort of baked dish in her hands. The girl wore a simple sweater, hues of grays and blues, with baggy jeans tied together with a black belt. She matched her outfit with Mary Jane loafers, and her hair was tied back into a ribbon. She figured she'd dress up a bit to impress Steve's mom.

Nancy looked up at the sound of the door, smiling the moment she laid eyes on Steve. "Hi. I'm...so sorry."

Steve's eyes softened at her meek apology. His eyes scanned up and down her body, taking in her outfit choice. "Nice outfit, Wheeler."

Nancy rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Can I come in? I brought something for your mom."

"How sweet." Steve smirked, taking the plate from Nancy's hands. "Come on in."

Steve stepped to the side, allowing Nancy into the house. She looked around, admiring all the unique qualities that Steve's house possessed. The walls were lined with beige wallpaper, pictures of the Harrington Family filling the walls along with random paintings of the Chesapeake Bay.

To the left sat the den, full of couches and colorful rugs. A tv stood against the wall on top of an organizer, the shelves full of vinyl records. To the left of the TV stand was a record player that came out of the 1960s. Nancy always appreciated music, so it was refreshing to see all of the records. The right wall tucked away the stairs to the upstairs level, covered in a beige rug and vacuumed to the touch.

"Nice house," Nancy said.

"Thanks," Steve scoffed, brushing past Nancy.

Nancy caught a whiff of his smell. She perked up for a moment, smelling the signature smell of musk along with a faint hint of violet. The girl felt her cheeks heat up, feeling weird over the fact that she enjoyed the smell. And she was very much aware of the fact that he had just finished basketball practice.

Following close behind Steve, Nancy appeared in the kitchen. She took notice of a woman setting the table.

"Nancy's here," Steve said.

Jennifer perked up, locking eyes with Nancy. The older woman felt her smile turn into a goofy one as she caught sight of a grown-up Nancy Wheeler. "My, my, Nancy Wheeler, you've grown!"

Before Nancy could get a word out, Jennifer was one step ahead of her. She wrapped her arms around Nancy's, pulling her into a tight hug. "Hi, ma'am." Nancy chuckled nervously, patting Jennifer's back awkwardly.

Steve leaned against the kitchen island, smirking at the sight of Nancy being uncomfortable. It was sweet, causing his heart to swell as Nancy looked at him for help. "Alright, let Nancy breathe."

Jennifer pulled back, placing her hands on Nancy's arms. Her smile never faded as she stared at Nancy. "I know, I'm sorry! Nancy Wheeler is just so grown up and beautiful. Isn't she, Stevie?"

Nancy looked over at Steve, a soft smile on her lips. Steve couldn't help but turn shy, nervously scratching his head. He thought for a moment, never taking his eyes off of Nancy. Steve thoroughly enjoyed how the creases bear Nancy's eyes grew tighter, indicating how much her smile had grown since she stepped into his house. He also admired her bow, finding it adorable and very Nancy-like. "Yeah," He said. "She's great."

Nancy's cheeks flushed, causing her to tear her eyes away from Steve. To keep the awkward silence at bay, Nancy intervened. "May I help set the table?"

"Of course!" Jennifer smiled. She began to hand Nancy some of the silverware, allowing her to take charge of the project. Stepping back, Jennifer sent a wink to Steve. "Help her out, won't you?"

Nancy looked at the silverware, biting on the inside of her cheek to remember how to set a table properly. Steve enjoyed how concentrated she was on the task at hand. His gaze lingered on her, head tilted as he tried to catch her face. But Nancy faced down, organizing the table to the best of her ability. She placed the forks and knives in the right places and, the plate in the center of the table mat.

Steve found it difficult to look away. Nancy had captivated him—somehow, someway—and he was blinded by her beauty. She hadn't done anything different to herself. But he somehow could sense a difference, whether it was in her smile or just the way she presented herself. He never saw her in this light, painted like a beautiful portrait, so effortlessly beautiful. And Steve felt his cheeks heat up at his thoughts, knowing that Nancy Wheeler was tugging on his heartstrings.

He didn't understand her. Nancy Wheeler was so hard to read. She kept to herself, yet appeared outgoing. She never backed away from what she was passionate about, even if it was him being her new project. Steve felt warmth fill his veins, watching Nancy's every move, from the way she bit down on her lip to the way she tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.

Steve found himself comparing Nancy to the sun: so blinding and beautiful, but if you got too close, you'd burn. And he knew he could never go down that road with Nancy, especially because of their deal and the fact that Chrissy was jammed into the back of his mind. Yet, Nancy seemed to outshine Chrissy at the moment, simply by existing.

"Stevie?"

Steve snapped out of his trance, emotions at an all-time high. The boy looked up to see his mother, who began organizing all of the food onto bigger serving plates. "Mind bringing some food to the table?"

All the boy could do was nod. Glancing back, he watched as Nancy finished setting the table. She took napkins close by and placed them down at each placemat. With a smile, Steve grabbed the plates full of food and brought them to the table, placing them in the center. He glanced up at Nancy with a smile. "Having fun?"

"Loads," Nancy paused. "Stevie."

Steve suddenly found himself fond of the nickname.

Levi x Reader: Please don't scare me like that

Hi guys! I'm sorry this isn't one of your requests, but I needed to go to the hospital last night because I'm sick and this just popped into my head today.

Hope you guys enjoy it!🤍

Word count: 1789

‘Eat this’. ‘No’, you barely managed to reply, pushing the spoon away from your face. ‘You got to eat, it’s been days’. ‘Smell makes me want to throw up’. 

It hurts. Speaking, breathing, … Everything hurts. Yes, your body needed food, some kind of fuel, but it rejected it every time. 

Levi lowered his head, his stomach clenching with concern. This wasn’t normal, you never got sick, not like this anyway. Sure, a cold, some type of flu, but not like this. A freezing hand met your forehead, your eyes tearing up at the feeling. ‘It’s not going down’, a disappointed tone in his voice. 

Sorry. That’s all you could think of, ‘sorry’. 

‘Shit’, his eyes flew open when he noticed your hands searching for the bucket, ‘T-try to breath, okay? It’s going to be alri-‘. 

Awful, the sounds coming from your throat sounded awful. After all, there was nothing left in your body to throw up.

‘That’s good, lay down for a bit, okay? Try to sleep, I’ll be here’. Again, the cold touch of his hand met your searing flesh, his thumb slowly drawing circles. 

Levi can’t stand this, he just can’t stand to see you in so much pain. ‘I would switch places within a second’, that’s all he can think about. 

Your breathing slowed down, giving a chance for Levi to study every part of your body. You got so thin, your once glowing skin now grey and dull. ‘Blood?’, his brows drew together, ‘This can’t be good’. Levi gently wiped the blood away from the corner of your mouth, using an old cloth. 

Great. It only got worse. You needed to go to a hospital, but he would never get you to agree. 

‘Y/N’, his eyes burned when he felt your grip loosen around his hand, ‘Y/N?’. 

No response. You’d been zoning in and out of consciousness for the past couple of days, it’s not like this should concern him anymore… but it did. Especially when he looked into the bucket. 

‘Hange?’, Levi hastily stood up, calling out for his friend's name. ‘Hange?’, louder this time. ‘She’s in her office, can I get you, something Captain?’, the door carefully opened. ‘I’m taking her to a hospital in the city, get Hange, I need her with me. Tell her it’s an emergency’. ‘S-squad leader?’, Jean’s eyes widened when he saw your frail body. 

The cadets couldn’t know. That’s what you made Levi promise, another thing that added to his sense of guilt. 

‘Jean, get Hange, and don’t tell anyone about this’, Levi’s breathing got heavier, his heart racing. He felt sick seeing you like this, his legs shaking with fear. ‘O-okay’, Jean collected himself, tearing his eyes away from his beloved squad leader. 

It seemed like forever before Hange arrived, but in reality, it was barely a minute or two. 

‘This isn’t good’, Hange quickly hurried over to you, her thumb now pressed on the thin vein on your wrist. ‘Get a carriage, I’ll get a cold towel’. 

Even Hange seemed concerned, he could see it in her eyes. She normally was the more rational one when it came to you, but seeing her panic like this… This wasn’t good.

‘Why?’, a question Levi asked himself countless times by now, ‘Why you?’. The stones underneath the carriage ensured a bumpy and rough ride, but you didn’t wake up, not once. ‘How far Hange?’, Levi tried to hold back tears, his digits stroking through your sweaty hair.

 ’10 minutes’. 

‘Come on, Y/N’, Levi looked at you, your head resting on his lap, ‘Can’t leave me like this’. 

He didn’t know which illness you were suffering from, but he knew it was bad. What if… What if you didn’t make it? What if you left him behind? To live a life without you? You were his life, his light. A life without you wasn’t worth to live. 

‘And?’, Hange quickly jumped off her horse. ‘Not good’, Levi’s eyes were wide open in shock, his whole pants covered in blood. 

It’s not the blood that scared him, because he had seen death more times than he could count, but it was the fear of being left behind, the fear that this was the last memory he got with you. 

‘Nurse!’ Hange ran inside, ‘Get her inside, Levi’. ‘O-okay’, Levi carefully picked you up, still surprised by how much lighter you felt. 

Hange had called out his name, but he couldn’t run with you in his arms, not when you were like this. What if he hurt you? No. Instead, he slowly walked inside, his eyes fixed on your once so cherry pink lips. 

‘H-help us, please’, Levi almost whispered, your weak body close to his chest, ‘Help us’. 

Levi fell to his knees, not caring that everyone saw him like this; so weak and vulnerable. The world around him didn’t matter, he didn’t see them, because his world was in his arms; withering like a delicate rose. 

‘Levi’, Hange hurried over to the two of you, ‘A nurse is coming, she’ll be okay’. 

Okay? Did she believe that herself? At this point, Levi was holding you tighter to his chest, as to keep you warm, safe. 

‘J-just help her’, his head rested against yours, silent sobs escaping his lungs, ‘I need her, Hange’. 

It wasn’t only Levi that needed you to be fine, Hange needed you too. You were her best friend, the one who always talked every doubt out of her. She loved you just as much as Levi did. 

‘H-here, get her on here Levi’, Hange hurried to the side when she saw the nurses appear with a bed, ready to save your life.

This couldn’t be real. Levi could feel the nurses pulling you away from him, Hange screaming his name, but how? How did this happen? He couldn’t answer or move. The only thing he could do was wait for you to be fine, to return to him. 

---

‘She got some antibiotics and some fluid. She suffered from gastric bleeding which caused her to throw up blood, this in turn was caused by a really bad stomach infection. It seemed a nasty virus caused her to feel like this’. 

‘S-so she’ll be fine?’, Levi was sitting next to you, his eyes fixated on the fluid that entered your body. ‘She’ll be fine, she just needs a lot of rest’. 

Levi didn’t hear what the doctor had to say to Hange anymore, he had heard the most important thing. You were going to be fine. 

---

‘W-where am I?’, you slowly opened your eyes, brain as foggy as ever. 

‘Y/N?’. 

Two days. It had been two days since you last woke up. Hange brought Levi food and some clean clothes now and then, forcing him to eat, but other than that… He never left your side. 

‘Levi?’, you tried to sit up straight, but your body wouldn’t let you just yet. ‘S-stay still kid, y-you need to rest’, shaking hands covered your body with sheets again. ‘Levi, what happened? W-why are you crying?’. ‘Thought I’d lost you’. 

Shattered. Your heart shattered at the sight of him. The bags underneath his crescent-shaped eyes darker than usual, his red-stained eyes…

‘You’re not getting rid of me that easily’, you forced a smile, ‘I told you I’d stay by you, no matter what’. ‘Hm’, Levi grabbed your hand with his shaking ones, placing a soft kiss on it, ‘You promised me’. 

‘Y/N!’, Hange’s sweet voice echoed through the room, ‘You’re finally awake’. ‘Careful’, Levi looked at his friend when he noticed she wanted to hug you. ‘Yeah yeah’, she waved his words away, ‘Tell me, how are you feeling? The doctor said you should be fine within a week’. ‘What’s even wrong with me?’, you frowned when you looked around the room, ‘I’m in a hospital? How long have I been out?’. 

You carefully listened to Hange, trying to keep your focus. 

‘Jean saw me?’, you sighed, head falling back into your pillow, ‘I can’t have the cadets see me like this’. 

‘A-about that…’, Hange nervously chuckled, her hand stroking over the back of her head. 

‘Surprise!’.

Suddenly, all of your cadets barged through the door. Causing Levi to sigh while giving Hange his ‘mad’ look. 

‘Y/N! Are you fine? We were worried sick about you!’, Sasha jumped on the bed. ‘We really were. Why didn’t you tell us?’, Eren almost yelled at you. 

Even if you wanted, you couldn’t keep up with all the questions they had, or with their concerns for your health. 

‘Sorry’, Hange nervously chuckled when she saw Levi’s death stare, ‘Thought she wouldn’t mind seeing them’. ‘Tsk’, Levi slowly stood up, ‘Okay, everyone out. I’ll give you 5 seconds, she needs to rest’. ‘N-no it’s fine’, you hastily replied, ‘They can stay a little longer’. 

‘Captain’s right’, Armin smiled, ‘We’ll come back tomorrow’. ‘I’m leaving too’, Hange yawned, ‘It’s getting late’. 

You said your goodbyes, enjoying the view of the flowers everyone brought. It brought a little light to the boring room you were staying in. 

‘What about you?’, you looked at Levi, who was placing the flowers on your nightstand. ‘I’m staying, like always’. ‘Wouldn’t it be better if you can get some proper rest in your be-‘. 

‘I’m staying Y/N’, his crescent-shaped eyes fixated on one of the roses, ‘I can’t sleep if you’re not with me’. 

A complicated, yet so simple man. He had certain feelings that he kept to himself, but his actions always spoke louder than his words. 

‘Fine’, you grunted while making some room. ‘Would it matter if I said no?’. ‘No’, you stubbornly replied, ‘I won’t let you sleep on that chair’. ‘Fine’, Levi sighed before carefully laying down next to you. 

He missed this. Your stubbornness, your playful character… Just as he missed your scent or the warmth of your body against his. 

‘I love you’, you whispered while nestling your head further into his chest. ‘Try to get some sleep, okay?’, he gently stroked through your hair, ‘You need to get some rest’. 

He didn’t say it back, he never did, but you knew he loved you. You knew he loved you more than anything, even without him saying it. Minutes passed, and your breathing got heavier, your eyes growing more tired. 

‘I love you’, a whisper that forced a smile on your face. You pretended you were asleep though because you knew he thought you were. After all, you knew him, how much effort it cost him to say something like that. 

‘Goodnight kid’, a gentle kiss on the top of your head, ‘Please don’t scare me like that again’.

The brothers reacting to MC's best friend who is purposely trying to get them jealous. And the best friend is just another brother.

Hello, anon! My brain is glitching at the moment, so I hope you mean a brother is trying to get another brother jealous, and not a brother trying to get Mc jealous. Please let me know if you meant the second option and I'll fix the issue right away. That being said, I hope you enjoy this piece of writing!

the brothers react to their sibling trying to get them jealous

-> brothers x mc

fun fact: I used the random number generator to decide which brother annoys which lol

mc's gender is not mentioned, not proof read

content warnings: self-deprecation, fighting, mild violence (in the way of throwing books), mild suggestive content, petty attempts at revenge

Lucifer

despite how busy lucifer is, you and him are in a happy relationship that works out for you

he never once questioned the bond between you, so why in the three worlds does asmo think he can get under his skin by being overly friendly with you?

the fifth born would often throw his arms around you, declaring his love for you while rubbing your faces together

it's asmo we're talking about, so this behavior isn't too unusual for him, but it was starting to bother lucifer

everyone put an f in the chat for asmo, that day he got to know mammon's pain

Mammon

mammon would often text you to come over, and you'd reply with a 'yes', of course

but lately, you've been replying a lot with 'I can't, belphie's asleep on my lap'

belphie is doing this because mammon never paid him back the money he owed, this was the avatar of sloth's revenge

eventually, mammon has had enough

he marched over to wherever you and belphie were, grabbed his little brother by the collar and dragged him off of your lap, and then took you out to dinner

belphie was very confused when he woke up on the floor

Leviathan

this man's name is the avatar of envy

when you started to spend more time with your friend beel than him, he got sad

every time you'd see him again after hanging out with beel, he'd go on about how he's a worthless otaku and you don't love him

you tell him you do love him, beel's just been finding nice restaurants lately and honestly, you don't think beel is purposely trying to upset his brother

one day, levi couldn't control his jealousy anymore and summoned lotan in the house

lucifer wasn't happy

Satan

satan's favorite hobby? reading

how to make reading even better? with you leaning against his chest

how to ruin the experience? mammon following you everywhere

satanis the avatar if wrath, so when he saw mammon enter the room with you and when he was talking while he was trying to read, he snapped

he started screaming and throwing books at mammon, trying to get him to leave

it worked

Asmodeus

you and asmo have this tradition every night of the last day of the week where you have an at-home spa night in his bathroom

you've never skipped this before, that's why he was not having it when you told him lucifer asked you to help him with paperwork

asmo's grades had not been great lately, and this is how the eldest brother is punishing him

he entered lucifer's office and started whining until he got you back

lucifer eventually did let you go with him, but he was planning an even worse punishment for the next day

Beelzebub

there's this special cookie recipe you know, and you bake the cookies according to said recipe for beel and beel only

everyone in the house knew this, and satan decided to use this fact to get revenge on beel for eating his book

he was teasing him and all, declaring you made the cookies for him this time, and not beel

the two brothers started fighting in the kitchen by the time you arrived

you tried to assure beel you didn't do what satan claimes but it was too late

beel had destroyed the wall again

Belphegor

belphie liked going to sleep, then to wake up seeing you face

but lately, he'd take a nap with you and wake up without you

all because levi got this new two-player game, and he kept inviting you to his room to play

belphie was done with this behavior, he went over to his older brothers room while you were playing and let him knew exactly what he thinks of this new little excuse to hog your attention

youngest children are ruthless, poor levi ended up in tears, and you have to fix this messy situation

[harunayuuka2060]

Levi: Nn... MC...

MC: *chuckles* *rubs his cheek gently with their thumb*

MC: Sleep more, Levi.

Levi: Need to be... awake... Program...

MC: *smiles* Do you need help to get awake?

Levi: Hm.

MC: Okay, if you say so.

Levi: ...

Levi: *feels his legs being opened up and the next second, his back arched* *blushes intensively* M-MC!

MC: Shh...

Levi: *his toes curling* *moaning uncontrollably* MC-! *shivers when he releases it* *in a daze*

MC: Hm. Seems like that tired you out. *smiles*

Levi: *whines* MC...

MC: Rest well. *kisses his forehead* I'll be back in a minute.

Levi: *nods*

Levi: *fresh from the bath, drinking hot choco*

MC: *checking his work* Right. This will do. But Levi.

Levi: H-Huh?

MC: *smiles* I'm sure our nude photo is not part of the program.

Levi: *realizes* *blushes in embarrassment* Y-Yes! It isn't! I-I forgot to remove it!

MC: Ah. Maybe because I interrupted you. My apologies.

Levi: No... You did nothing wrong. *pouts cutely*

*then MC's phone rings*

MC: *their expression changes* Hm. I see. So the prime minister wants to establish his government back.

Levi: Wait. Does that mean he found a way out?

MC: *smiles* No need to worry. I haven't used yet my whole deck against him. Just watch him closely for now. *hangs up*

Levi: It looks like I need to work harder.

MC: *sits on the couch* You sound unconfident. Come here, Levi. I'll fix that.

Levi: !!!

Levi: U-Um... Are you telling me to sit on your lap o-or to kneel?

MC: *was surprised for a few seconds* *then chuckles* How about I step on you?

Levi: Th-That will be the best!

The brothers: *looking at him with disappointment from Barbatos's portal*

Barbatos: *laughs*

Diavolo: Um, Barbatos? I'm interested with the issue of the prime minister.

Barbatos: Ah, yes. Please give me a second, young master. *shows them the prime minister in a panic*

The prime minister: There's no way they could've known everything.

His guard: *which is also MC's accomplice* That's right, sir. They're only scaring you.

The prime minister: But shouldn't we making the first move?

His guard: *nods* Do you want me to take care of it?

The prime minister: ...Yes. If you can. Once they're gone, I have nothing to be afraid of.

Lucifer: I see. So this prime minister doesn't know how to follow an agreement.

Satan: Eh, all people are like that when they're greedy for power—

MC: *enters the room* *with a smile on their face*

Asmo: That's Levi's partner, right? What are they doing there?

The prime minister: Wh-What are you doing here?!

MC: *looks at his guard*

His guard: *nods* *then holds him firmly*

The prime minister: Wh-What's the meaning of this?!

MC: *pulls out a syringe* I'll just insert a chip on you. You know, for experimental purposes.

The prime minister: No! NO!

MC: *to the guard* I'll leave him to you as usual.

His guard: *nods* What does it do?

MC: It controls the nervous system. He's at your mercy now.

The brothers and Diavolo: *are stunned*

MC: *feels like someone is watching them* *then looks around* *smiling*

MC: Make something out of him. *crushes the syringe under their foot then leaves*

[fickleminder]

let us die young (or let us live forever)

Life in the Devildom living with seven demon lords is pretty darn good. If there’s one thing you’re sure of, it’s that you’re loved, wholly, irrevocably, and forever.

Rushed this in a week wooooooo *dies*

You sigh in relief as someone gently places a cool, damp towel on your heated forehead. A drop of water slides off your temple before a gloved thumb rubs it away, and you crack your eyes open blearily.

Lucifer smiles down at you. “Good morning, dearest. How are you feeling?”

“Like crap,” you groan, reaching out to grasp at his waistcoat weakly. He covers your hand with his and squeezes it in comfort. “I think it was whatever special ingredient Mammon added to my noodles yesterday…”

“And that’s why you should always follow the instructions on the cup,” the demon chides, not unkindly. Seeing you in such a pathetic state usually either amps up his sadism or makes him softer than normal. You’re just grateful it’s the latter this time.

You whine miserably. “This sucks… I feel like I’m gonna die…”

“You won’t,” comes the surprisingly firm answer to your dramatics. Lucifer looks you in the eye and dips his head. “We’ll take care of you, and we won’t ever let it come to that.”

Your cheeks warm, even with the fever. “Thanks Luci.”

Lucifer sighs at the nickname but bends forward to press a kiss to your cheek. “Rest well, love. And don’t worry, you’re safe with us.”

.

.

.

“Hey, you have Advanced Potions next semester right? Wanna get matching cauldron kits?”

“…Are they Ruri-chan and Azuki-tan themed?”

“You are a true friend, my Henry!” Levi gleefully adds the aforementioned items to his cart. “I can’t wait! We have to be partners during the labs, and sit at the same bench, and share notes, and OMG! They even have matching goggle sets!”

“That’s one way to get you to show up at RAD,” you laugh, watching fondly as Levi clicks away with abandon. While he’s on a roll, you take some time to think about other things you might want to order for yourself.

Some days you still can’t believe how quickly Akuzon had started to stock items from the human world, with the range of products steadily increasing by the week. It’s a promising sign that Diavolo’s exchange program is bearing fruit, and Levi’s account has more or less become a joint one; he’s a lifetime member with exclusive discounts that would take centuries for you to rack up had you created your own from scratch. Although he has to pay additional taxes for inter-realm shipping, he lets you order anything you want and is effectively your go-to man whenever you need deliveries.

All of this at your fingertips without having to leave the comfort of the house? The least you could do in return is be lab partners with your favorite otaku.

.

.

.

The ambient chorus of meows and purrs is interrupted by sharp vibrations from an otherwise silent phone. Satan doesn’t take his eyes off the snoozing tabby on his lap as he plucks his D.D.D. from his jacket pocket. “Hello?”

From the other side of the play area, you see him stiffen. Is everything okay? You mouth at him.

His head whips towards you with what seems like fear in his eyes, and then he does something you never imagined he’d ever do:

He shakes the sleeping cat off and quickly walks out the door.

Now worried, you gently extricate yourself from the furry pile you’ve been lounging under and follow him.

“—call you back, now’s really not a good time… Thanks, Solomon.”

Satan hangs up a split second before you reach him. “Was that Sol? I haven’t heard from him in a while. Is he alright?”

“Yes, of course!” Satan hurries to assure you, plastering on a bright grin you know him well enough to tell is fake. “He was just asking about some rare books, but it’s nothing urgent.”

“You sure? If he’s in town, we can meet him along the way—”

“And let him interrupt our date? Not a chance.” He opens the door and practically manhandles you back inside. “Come on, we still have twenty minutes on the clock.”

You don’t remember the last time you spoke to Solomon, but it’d be nice to say hi and offer to catch up sometime. Maybe you can drop him a text later and arrange something. For now, your focus lies solely on the swarm of kitties begging for pets and skritches and an equally attention-hungry demon who sticks to your side like glue.

The rest of the day is spent on a cat cafe hopping spree. Satan pays for everything and demands compensation in the form of your company over dinner and a photo gallery overflowing with selfies and cats and stolen kisses.

By the time he escorts you to your room, you only have enough energy left for a quick shower before crawling into bed. You pass out the moment your head hits your pillow, and any thoughts of contacting Solomon slip your mind completely.

.

.

.

“Treasure, you gotta understand! The second I show my face up there, my ass is toast!”

“Lucifer says I can only go if you come with me, but I’m sure he’ll make an exception if I ask Asmo,” you threaten.

You don’t get homesick often (the Devildom has more or less become your second home after all), but on the rare occasions you do, it’s nothing a quick trip to the human world can’t remedy. Visiting family and friends, hanging out at old haunts… A good dose of nostalgia never fails to comfort you. If only you knew how to create the right portals…

Mammon looks genuinely regretful. “Listen, I just need some time, okay? After I deal with those witches, I’ll take you anywhere you want, I promise!”

You sigh, but you know you could never say no to your first man.

He must have spoken to his brothers, because after your conversation it seems like they all take turns to occupy you. Lucifer has errands he’s too busy to run, Levi embarks on the co-op mode of his current game, Satan discovers a new series of detective novels, Asmo needs a model for his upcoming fashion show, Beel wants a spotter for his latest workout routine, and Belphie can’t sleep on anything that’s not your lap.

The best part is? It actually works.

Spending time with your favorite demons is like a balm that soothes the itch in your soul, distracting you from the yearning that seeps into the cracks between your days and weighs you down. It works so well that eventually, the feeling fades away.

(Mammon never does settle his debts, but then again, when does he ever?)

.

.

.

Thirteen opens the door and freezes, her face as pale as a ghost.

“Hi.” You flash her a smile and wave sheepishly. “Sorry to show up out of nowhere. I—”

She grabs your arm and yanks you inside. The door shuts and locks behind you.

“Uh, it’s good to see you too?” You let yourself be dragged along a dark corridor, not wanting to get between her and whatever mission she’s on. “I just— I was wondering if I could crash here for a bit. I just need some time to decompress without the brothers constantly breathing down my neck—”

“How did you get away?” Thirteen demands, her pace not faltering in the slightest. You still don’t know where she’s taking you.

“I walked out of the house? I mean, I’m not supposed to be outside on my own, so I snuck out.”

More like you stormed off, but she doesn’t need to know that. Past a certain point, distractions became annoyances, and the brothers’ attention turned into clinginess. It was like they had lost all understanding about the concept of personal time and space, so you decided to escape to the one place they would never think to go: the reaper’s cave.

Thirteen has her D.D.D. pressed to an ear now, speaking frantically. “Solomon! I was fucking right, you bastard! Get Raphael and— Hello? HELLO?! …Shit.”

That’s right, you remember wanting to give Solomon a call several weeks back. How did you forget? More importantly—

“Since when were you two on speaking terms?” You ask. “Also, I thought you didn’t like Raphael?”

“No time to explain, just trust me.” She leads you to a familiar room and stops, turning to face you with the most serious expression you’ve ever seen. “Wait here, and don’t you dare move from this spot! You’ll be safe, I promise.”

And then she’s gone.

Your gaze drifts over the massive cavern that glitters with an ocean of life candles, gravitating towards where you know yours and the brothers’ are. All of theirs are standing strong, as expected, and yours…

It could be your imagination, but the light from your candle has an unnatural gleam to it. The flame is slightly off-shade compared to the rest and flickers erratically. Even the wax seems as though it has melted and rehardened again and again, its misshapen structure somewhat crooked—

Somebody grabs your shoulders and spins you around. You gasp, the looming shadows surrounding you preventing you from seeing their face clearly. All you can make out are a pair of peach-colored eyes and the eerie pink glow to them…

.

.

.

You feel the headache pounding in your skull even before opening your eyes. Groaning weakly, you hear someone pouring something before smooth, lotion-scented fingers stroke at your cheeks.

“Oh darling, are you awake?”

Asmo’s worried face is the first thing you see, hovering over you. You’re in your room, tucked snugly in your bed, and your throat is absolutely parched.

“I’m so sorry, I should have kept a better eye on you,” Asmo says, helping you sit up and handing you two hangover tablets with a tall glass of water. He holds it steady as you take small sips and waits patiently for you to finish the whole thing. “Silly me, I keep forgetting humans can’t ingest too much alcohol in one sitting without hydrating.”

“…Did we go out last night?”

“We were at The Fall, celebrating my latest cover from Majolish!” Asmo sets the glass down and presses the back of his hand against your forehead. “Are you feeling alright? Any headaches?”

The memories are a blur. You’ve always been a responsible drinker, and you’ve never passed out at a club before. Perhaps you had gotten careless; Diavolo recently started importing Demonus with actual alcohol in them, but you had gotten too used to being unaffected by copious amounts of the liquor.

Asmo takes your silence as affirmative. He pours you more water and helps you down it as well, cooing words of comfort and praise in your ear. As he holds the glass to your lips, your eyes are drawn to the fresh coat of paint on his nails.

Noticing your stare, the demon grins widely. “How about a spa day to make up for it? I can start with a manicure while you stay in bed~”

“Sounds good. You’re the best, Asmo.”

His eyes twinkle like rose diamonds in the night sky.

.

.

.

Beel spending hours in the kitchen is an everyday occurrence. But him cooking a special meal just for someone? Not so much.

“Aww, thank you Beel! You really didn’t have to.” The moment he sets the steaming bowl of soup down, you give him a big hug and a kiss on the cheek.

“It’s an apology on behalf of my brothers,” he explains, pulling out your chair for you. “We knew you were feeling homesick lately but we still crowded you for attention. We’re sorry, we should have listened to you instead.”

Everyone at the dinner table nods in agreement, perfectly content to let the Avatar of Gluttony do the talking. Those silly demons… You can’t find it in yourself to hold a grudge against them.

“Apology accepted. This is such a big bowl though, do you want to share?” You offer him your spoon, but he gently pushes it back.

“It’s for you,” Beel insists, patting your head fondly. “I hope you’ll enjoy it.”

The soup is delicious, and the fact that there’s not a trace of jealousy on his brothers’ faces is a testament to how much they’ve matured.

You finish every last drop with relish.

.

.

.

You’re dreaming again.

It’s like you’re a spectator and a participant all at once; the world is fuzzy at the edges and you can’t hear clearly, but your body moves like an actor following a well-rehearsed script.

Someone leads you to a chair. You sit down. There’s a table with a whole cake in front of you. It’s bright outside. You can’t see their faces, but you know you’re surrounded by your family and friends. It feels like forever since you last held them.

One by one, they step forward to add a small candle to your cake. The people keep coming, they don’t stop, and soon enough you can’t even see the top layer of icing anymore. The flames seem to dance in place, slowly merging into a single entity…

The cake turns into your life candle. It stands tall and proud, unwavering, undying, and you watch as your hands reach out to grab at the wax, twisting and straining to break it in half. You think you hear a faint crack, and then—

Belphie looms over you, adjusting the towel on your forehead. He smiles when he notices that you’re awake. “Hey. Sorry, didn’t mean to wake you.”

You let him fuss over you, wiping away the excess water and tucking you back in. “W’time ‘sit…”

“A little past midnight. You went into a food coma after dinner, so Beel carried you to bed. I wanted to cuddle with you but you seemed a little feverish. Lucifer said a cold towel might help.”

“It does, I feel much better already.” Your heart warms at the thoughtful gesture. Belphie may be a lazy brat but he’s always got your back. “Cuddle now?”

“Anything for you.” He slides under the covers and makes himself comfortable, careful not to jostle you too much in the process. “Sleep. I’ll make sure you only have good dreams.”

And he does. You dream of a fancy ball at Diavolo’s castle, dressed to the nines and taking turns to dance with the brothers.

When you wake up in the morning, you’ve never felt more rested.

.

.

.

“It’s a little funny, now that I think about it,” you muse, pausing at the doorway while waiting for your housemates to catch up. “Normally humans can’t wait to get out of school, but if they get damned then they end up back there.”

Lucifer raises an eyebrow. “Is there anything you want to highlight about our curriculum?”

You laugh and shake your head. “I’m just picturing telling kids to study hard or they might just end up studying for the rest of their afterlives. Not being able to graduate is like a special brand of hell.”

It’s the first day of the new semester. Lucifer ushers you and his brothers out the door, strict as ever about punctuality. “Not hell, this is the Devildom.”

“I know, I know—”

“And it wouldn’t be home without you.” He smiles, taking your hand in his and holding it all the way to RAD.

summary: starting to realize your feelings towards the couple, erwin and levi, you distanced yourself from them. they didn't like it one bit, and started to inquire why you wouldn't talk to them, finding out that you were in love with them.

📎 side note: english is not my first language so, sorry in advice for any grammar mistakes.

Being ascended to Brigadier General of the Scouting Legion was more stressful than you thought, but fortunately you counted with Commander Erwin and Captain Levi, who invited you to get something to drink as a way to reward your hard work on the new field.

It's been years now since you’ve known both of them. Having been trained by Erwin and being one of Levi’s former scouts, you three had a rich history together. You were one of the few people who knew about the love affair between the two of them, and highly supported them in their relationship.

But...why did you feel left out? You were only a friend of theirs, and even though being a couple meant that they spent more time together alone, that didn't mean that your friendship was any less important to them.

With time and the realization of your feelings towards the both of them, at first you distanced yourself, thinking it was for the best and to not make things awkward between all of you. You even punished yourself mentally for thinking lewd things such as having the chance to kiss and hold them when they weren't even yours.

Knowing you well, Erwin and Levi quickly notice how you started growing apart from them. They first thought that you were just busy in your new range, but the lack of enthusiasm in your greetings from afar and the way you literally almost ran away every time they got close to you showed them that something was off, and they were quite quick to know why.

"Isn't it obvious? She likes you!" Hange said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Who?" Levi asks after taking a sip of his tea.

"The both of you!" they exclaimed, really frustrated that they didn't notice that. Erwin's eyes widened while Levi's cheeks started to feel warm.

"It's true, she told us herself" Mike entered the conversation, having been there listening the whole time.

"Well, if you can call her getting drunk and crying about how much she likes them but can't have them ‘telling us’...then yes, she told us"

Erwin and Levi looked at each other, a little feeling of excitement and fullness bubbling on their chest. Did they like you too? They never stopped on their tracks before to think about it, but knowing that you like them in that way felt amazing.

You were sleepy, eyes almost closing with every step that you took on your way to Erwin's office, even your jaw hurt from yawning so much. You would very much rather go to your bed and rest for a while, but at the same time you owned them at least a few drinks together after avoiding them for so long. 3 months have already passed, so you were pretty much positive that your feelings for them were dissolved by now.

Knocking at the door three times, you waited still as decent as you can with the laziness that was hovering you. Even on your almost-unconscious state, you didn't hear any response from inside the room, so remembering that Erwin once told you that he tends to fall asleep on his desk, you slowly opened the door, entering the room to not interrupt your Commander's sleep.

Your once lazy eyes snapped out with the view in front of you: Levi on Erwin's lap, the blonde's hand wondering on the black haired tiny waist while kissing like it was their last day on earth. They stopped their actions, both turning around to the new person in the room. [Name]'s ears burned like hell, eyes averting them and wondering on any other spot of the room.

"I-I'm so sorry, captains! I should take my lea—" she started muttering, moving her feet to exit the office.

"Stay" Levi called with a stern but soft voice, making [Name] shudder.

She slowly turned to them, having them in her field of vision once again. Levi has turned around, still sitting on Erwin's lap, but now facing her. Both were looking at her with soft gazes, a little smile on their faces. [Name] gulped, shifting uncomfortably on her spot beside the door, confusion evident on her face.

Levi reached out his hand in her direction, a silent invitation to come closer to them, and she didn't know if she wanted this to be a dream or be actually real, her heartbeat pumping on her ears making it very difficult to think straight.

Closing the door behind her, [Name] slowly started to walk closer, surrounding Erwin's desk when he patted Levi's lap as a sign to go there. She looked at them nervous, not knowing what to say or how to act after she literally caught them making out.

It would be more awkward if Levi didn't start to talk.

"Why were you avoiding us?" he got straight to the point. Even though they already knew the reason, they wanted to hear what excuses she put on to hide the truth.

"I wasn't...avoiding you. I was just— busy, you know? Being a Brigadier General wasn't as easy as I thought" she laughed nervously, and they obviously noticed.

"I would've given you a few days off if you wanted to. We could've hung out together so you can relieve some stress" Erwin commented, smiling at the surprised face of his co-worker at his explanation.

"Well...yeah, but— you know...I just wanted to...do my best at work, so you...you can be proud of me" she whispered another excuse, even though this time it was true.

Erwin's and Levi's gaze soften even more than before, chests full of love and admiration to her.

"We already are so proud of you. Even though we don't normally show it, please don't doubt it. Just say the word" Levi reassured, taking her hands on his and caressing the back of her left hand with his thumb.

[Name]'s eyes filled with tears that she didn't know she was holding, biting her bottom lip to prevent it from trembling, but failing anyways.

"Oh my god, this is so embarrassing" she laughed between tears, one of her arms coming up to her face to hide it in her elbow.

"Was it us, [Name]? Was our relationship that made you distance yourself from us?" Erwin asked, his own hand coming to caress her hip in comfort.

"W-what? No...I—"

"Did you feel left out? That you weren't meant to be by our side?" Levi added, already feeling sorry if that was the case.

With that, [Name] finally let herself cry out loud, taking both of her hands to hide her face on them and sob.

"I'm sorry, I didn't ask to feel this way I just...appreciate you so much and everything that you did for me, and I didn't know that— those feelings were changing into love" she explained between sobs. "You looked so happy together, and I felt terrible thinking how it would be like to hold your hands or cuddle with you, like couples do. I...I didn't want to get in between you two...you deserve to be happy"

The couple looked at her with apologetic eyes, looking at her figure trembling while she cried her heart out murmuring 'I'm sorry's between cries. Levi stood up from Erwin's lap, hugging her tight between his arms, and Erwin followed behind in seconds, embracing them both in his strong arms.

"You also deserve to be happy" Levi declared, his small hands caressing her back up and down softly, Erwin's fingers coming along to play with her hair.

"And we would be the happiest if you get in our relationship" Erwin proposed, smiling at the shocking face she put, getting out of her hidden place on Levi's shoulder, who had a soft smile at hearing his boyfriend proposing to the woman they love.

"A-Are you sure about it? You don't have to do this out of pity, I'm just glad that I could tell you how I fe—"

Levi interrupted her, holding her face on his hands and crashing his lips on hers. Shocked, [Name] slowly relaxed on his touch, following the kiss while grabbing the captain's tiny waist. Erwin smiled, looking at them like they were the only people on earth with him, and he felt like he could live in a world like that.

Levi's tongue trace [Name]'s bottom lip, asking for permission to enter her mouth. Her hands move to cup the man's face as she parts her lips, letting Levi's tongue enter without complaint.

As both kiss with passion, Erwin's left hand moves to caress [Name]'s cheek, his other one squeezing Levi's shoulder in the moment of excitement. The latter's pulled apart, leaving another little kiss on the corner of her lips before resting his back on his boyfriend's chest, smiling at the view of [Name]'s swollen lips.

"We are sure. We also didn't notice when we started feeling like this towards you, but now that we know, we would like to spend tea evenings and nights sharing kisses with you" Erwin spoked with a soft voice, hand still on her cheek and running his thumb against her lips, feeling the magic of Levi's lips on them.

"How cheesy" Levi whispered, making them laugh.

"Then, if I may...I would really like you to be my boyfriends" she confessed, cheeks feeling hot at the embarrassing feeling of confessing her feelings in front of the men she loves.

"It would be my honor" Erwin accepted, bowing his head like a prince.

"About time" was Levi's answer, but all of them knew that it was his way of saying 'yes'.

They all stayed in silence for a short while, still cuddled together as [Name] pecked Levi's face with kisses to annoy him. As she pulled apart between giggles, she and Erwin exchanged glances, soft smiles appearing on their faces.

"Can I have a kiss, darling?" Erwin requested, soft eyes looking at her.

"Of course, honey"

While they were getting closer to kiss, Levi got sandwiched between their bodies, not having the time to move aside when they moved to attach their lips together. His face got squished in between [Name]'s chest as he felt Erwin's chest warmth on his back.

Looking up, he could see how their lips smacked against each other, sharing a slow and loving kiss between each other, pretty different from theirs that was more hungry, but still loving as well. His cheeks felt hot all of sudden, as they weren't his partners and he could watch them do this things.

"Mmgh— Guys-...I'm—"

Pulling apart with a 'pop' sound, Erwin was fast to cup his boyfriend's chin on his hand, make him turn around to face him and kiss his lips with the same passion he was kissing his girlfriend just seconds ago.

"You look so pretty while being kissed, Levi" [Name] whispered, leaving feather kisses on the black hair's expossed neck, eyes looking at both of them with full love, now knowing that they're hers as well.

Erwin leaves a last kiss on the corner of Levi's lips before letting him go. He then speaks with a shaky voice. "T-Then...then you-" he stuttered, trying to spit the words out, his body growing hot by the friction of the other two bodies on him.

"Don't worry, I'll kiss you all over" she promises.

"[N-Name]! I-" Levi interrupted himself at the feeling of another pair of lips on the side of his neck. It was Erwin, starting to kiss and bite on his skin.

"Isn't this amazing, Levi? She finally has us all for herself. Let her do her thing" the Commander murmured beside his ear, taking advantage of [Name] being on the same side of Levi's body and kissing her again, both pair of hands rooming along the Captain's tiny —but strong— body.

"Please..." he begged in a breath, tightening his grip on Erwin's arms while trying to press his body against [Name]'s.

"Mmh? What is it, Levi? What do you want us to do?" she whispered in his ear, lowering her head to attach her lips on his neck, Erwin taking care of the Captain's lips again.

"F-fuck— me...fuck me, please" he whispered, loud enough to both of them to hear and make them grin.

"Alright, then Erwin" she called him, making the blonde look at her like an excited puppy. "Won't you be a good boy and fuck Levi for me? Mmh?"

If Erwin had a tail, it would be wiggling excitedly.

"Yes, my love"

"B-but I want you too!" Levi turned around between their bodies, worried eyes catching hers.

Is she gonna make herself apart from them again? Does she still feel like they weren't meant to be together? Because he would—

"I know baby, and I'm not going anywhere, don't worry" she calmed him down, leaving a kiss on his forehead. "I said that Erwin will fuck you for me, because I don't have my stuff to do so myself yet" she clarified, making Levi's cheeks turn hot. "But don't worry your pretty little head, I'm still gonna be here to see your pretty face while you get railed" both men feel their bodies shiver at the excitement that she makes them feel.

Levi kissed her lips once again, feeling his boyfriend starting to unbutton his shirt after taking off his jacket, so eager to follow their girlfriend's orders.

Once finally naked, both of them looked at her like lost puppies. [Name] chuckled.

"On the desk, babies" she ordered again, her sweet voice still making their legs go weak.

Erwin helped Levi hop into his desk, not wasting time on wetting his fingers and putting them on Levi's entrance, all this being too familiar to them.

"Seems like you're used to this" she said between giggles, taking into Levi's flushed cheeks and Erwin's embarrassed face. "How naughty of the Commander and Captain, huh" she kissed the blonde's arm, cuddling his side while her fingertips brushed Levi's inner thigh. "You wanted somebody to walk into you? To see how needy you are?" she tweaked one of Erwin's nipples, making him shake.

"W-wanted you- nngh" Levi arched his back, the thick fingers of his boyfriend spotting his prostate inside him.

"Mmh? Wanted me to what?" she smiled at the raven's ruined figure, before turning to the blonde, who also turned to look at her, eyes locked on her lips. "You also wanted that, baby?" she saw him nod.

"Wanted you to walk in and see how pretty Levi looks full of my cock" he confessed shamelessly, opposite of his boyfriend who had hidden his face with his forearm.

"Yeah?" she muttered, her low teasing tone matching her husky laugh. Moving behind Erwin, she back hugged him, hands running down his big chest. "You would also look pretty full of cock" the small brush of her hips against his ass didn't go unnoticed by the Commander, his big body also rocking slowly at the movements. He bitten his bottom lip to prevent a moan from escaping his mouth. "Do you want it to be mine?" she asks, making him fail at his mission to keep his noises down.

Erwin moaned, making his body softly fall down, until his big back hit her chest slowly.

"Yes, please...please do" he begged, shifting in his place in an attempt to feel her closer. [Name] laughed, giving him a big and squeezing hug, letting him feel her like he wanted.

"Next time I'll bring my harness, don't worry. You would have to discuss who’s gonna take it first though" she giggled, unnoticing the small glance that her partners shared between each other.

Soon enough, they break into smiles, their natural competitiveness now taking a joking side between each other to get to know who is gonna take you first.

"Erwin...put it in, please" regardless, Levi begged, taking his own legs and pressing them more close to his chest.

[Name] peeked from Erwin's side, taking on her boyfriend's beautiful figure and lustful expression. She did miss this much, huh?.

Erwin took his length, jacking off a little bit to lube it with his pre-cum before putting the tip at Levi's entrance, starting to introduce himself slowly to not hurt him.

"You take him so well, baby" [Name] cooed, leaning on the free space on Erwin's desk, popping on her elbows next to a panting Levi. "Do you feel full?" she stretched a hand out to pat his tummy softly, feeling a little bulge thanks to Erwin's size.

"S-so full" he admitted, putting his hand on top of hers, wanting to feel her close.

"Mmh, I wonder if with a good preparation you would be able to take us both"

Levi moaned at the simple thought, having his both lovers inside him, ruining his insides. Sounded like heaven, a painful heaven.

"I'll make it fit" he says with a surprisingly steady voice, making her laugh at his sudden seriousness.

"I will take care of that baby, now focus on taking Erwin's cock on your pretty hole, alright?" Levi's body twitched, too responsive to everything [Name] says or does. So cute.

"So tight-" Erwin whispers under his breath, softly thrusting his hips back and forth, just to help Levi adjust to his size. "Tighter than usual" he says with a higher tone now, focusing his eyes on his boyfriend and changing his gaze between him and his girlfriend.

"Mmh, do you like when somebody else sees you get fucked?" [Name] smirked, getting closer to him and leaving a kiss close to his lips, teasing him.

"O-only if—...if it's you" he says with a shaky breath, body starting to bounce on the desk thanks to Erwin's thrusts.

[Name] smiled, now kissing his lips while her hand wandered on his stomach, getting to his hard on. Levi moaned in her lips.

"I should had walked in you more sooner if it mean to see you guys like this, so desperate" she turned to see the Commander, distorted face thanks to the pleasure.

Her hand came to pat his broad chest, fingers playing with his nipples, and the blonde pressed her hand against his skin, wanting her touch.

"Go a little bit faster baby" she ordered, and Erwin didn't waste time to follow her words.

"Aagh— Mmh!"

Levi's body started to bounce again, this time a little bit more roughly. [Name] turned to look at him, smiling at his —already— tearful face and the pretty moans that left his lips. Her hand wrapped around his hard cock, starting to pump it while leaning closer to Erwin, taking his lips on hers.

"You fill him so well, baby" she praised. "Does it feel good?"

"S-so good" the Commander grunted. "Touch me...please, touch me honey" [Name] smiled at his broken figure. So needy.

One of her hands pressed on his low back, getting him closer and accidentally pushing more of his length on Levi's insides, feeling the latter's cock twitch in her hand at the move. Her lips caught one of his nipples, starting to stimulate it with her warm tongue, making the Commander's big body shiver.

"Thank you...thank you" he whispers while throwing his head back, hips a little bit faster than before, making the brunette moan loudly.

Levi felt like he would lose his mind at any moment. Having both pairs of hands from his boyfriend and girlfriend on him, [Name]'s on his cock, pumping it slowly while Erwin's hands gripped his thighs to keep him in place while he fucked into him. It was too much, just too much.

"C-cum— cumming! I'm— cumming!" he could barely announce before cumming all over his stomach, also making it on [Name]'s hand.

"Oh, did you cum, pretty?" [Name] separated from Erwin' body, turning to look at the mess her other boyfriend made. "Good boy ~ baby" she moved to kiss his face, still stroking him slowly to help him ride his orgasm.

Erwin came along, emptying himself on his boyfriend’s insides. Once he calmed down, he leaned down, kissing Levi's chest all to the way to his cheek and kissing his lips, one of his hands coming to caress his hair.

"You did so good honey" he praised in a whisper. "Do you feel good?"

"Yeah..." Levi muttered while nodding his head. Once his breath was stable again, he reassured them with a little smile, happy to receive his boyfriend's lips on his. "We want to please you too" he muttered once pulling apart from the kiss, both of them turning around to look at their girlfriend, who was looking at them lovingly.

"I know baby, but you are too tired right now. Maybe next time, yeah?"

She was ready to get out of the desk, but before she could do that, Erwin pulled out of Levi, earning a whimper from the raven hair. He grabbed her by her waist, making her yelp and wrap her legs around the Commander's waist instinctively before he settled her on his desk chair, quickly getting onto his knees in front of her.

"We'll never be too tired to please you, darling"

[Name] shifted on her place in the chair, the big furniture making her feel powerful, adding the fact that the 13th Commander of the Scouting Legion was on his knees in front of her, eager to please her either way.

"Fuck" she muttered under her breath.

With shaky legs, Levi hopped out of Erwin's desk and followed him, getting on his knees beside him while the blonde one started to unbuckle [Name]'s belt. He took her hand on his, resting his sweaty face on her palm searching for her warmth. A tiny smile was drawn on his lips as she caressed his cheek with her thumb.

"You look so pretty, baby" she whispers, moving her thumb through the Captain's bottom lip, smiling when Levi left a little kiss on the tip of it.

Once Erwin pulled all her bottoms out, Levi scooted over in the tiny space between [Name]'s thighs. Sharing a look with each other, Erwin smiled at Levi, making him return the gesture before sharing a short kiss on the lips.

Moving closer, Levi was the first to give some kitten licks up [Name]'s pussy lips, making her sigh with some kind of relief. As Levi moved to kiss [Name]'s inner thigh, Erwin was next on his girlfriend's pussy, giving her lips a kiss before licking a long strip along the groove.

With his thumb and index finger, the Commander slip spread [Name]'s lips until her clitoris was visible. The blonde gave space to the raven to attack on the sensitive pearl softly. [Name] moans and throws her head backwards, sighing in content as Levi sucked on her clit like a devoted man as Erwin spread little kisses along her nude thigh.

"Fuck...you're so good baby" she praises, looking down at her boys between her thighs.

Teasing her entrance, Erwin's finger started to push inside of her slowly as he joins his boyfriend on lapping his girlfriend's pussy, tongue pushing against his boyfriend's.

"Pull my hair...please" the Commander whispered against her cunt, leaving a kiss on her thigh before diving into her again.

[Name] fulfilled his wish, pulling his hair as well as pressing his head closer to her pussy.

Erwin's finger started to pump faster inside of [Name]'s cunt, the gummy and hot walls wrapping around his single index finger. Between moans, she asks him to add one more, and who was he to deny his sweet darling? Adding, his middle finger in, he resume his thrusts as watches his boyfriend eating their girlfriend out like his life depends on it

"Does she taste good, my love?" the blonde asks, only receiving a muffled hum in response. He chuckles, living a kiss on top of Levi's head before doing the same on [Name]'s thigh once again.

"I-I'm gonna cum..." she warns, trying to push Levi's face away on a weak attempt.

"Just let it go, darling" Erwin simply says, indirectly telling her that she, in fact, can cum on Levi's mouth. He pulled out his fingers, letting Levi do the job.

Biting her bottom lip, [Name] gripped Levi's dark locks a little bit stronger, starting to move her hips against his face to find more friction —getting it when his nose started to rub against her clit—. Arching her back and moaning shamelessly, she ended up cumming all over the Captain's face, riding the superiors face like some toy that only was used to satisfy her.

"Oh...fuck" she grunted, loosing her grips on both of them while she ride her orgasm.

Levi pulled away slowly, leaving kisses in one of her thighs while he caressed the other with his hand. He carried the kisses up to her stomach, kissing her shoulder before getting to her lips.

"Are you feeling alright, honey?" he asked while caressing her arm.

[Name] focused her eyes on him, analyzing his sweet eyes towards her and his swollen lips from him eating her out. Then she changed to her Erwin, who was already looking at her with a loving smile. Smiling, she relaxed her body against the chair, caressing their faces.

"I've never been better" she confessed. "Sorry if I was rough" she turned to Erwin, caressing his cheek, "I was out of my mind" the Commander chuckled.

"It was fine, darling. Next time, you can be more rough if you want" he left a kiss on her cheek.

"You can ride my face again too" Levi added, hugging her arm on her side. [Name] laughed, resting her head over his.

"Seems like we're gonna have a lot of fun next time, but right now I just wanna cuddle" starting to get up, she grabbed her bottom clothes to start to get dressed. Once done, she helped them clean and get dressed too.

While Erwin was putting on his boots, Levi cuddled [Name]'s side, growing sleepy from all the activity.

"Shall we go to my room?" Erwin approached them, caressing the hair of sleepy Levi before taking his hand on the other side.

"Sleep..." the raven-haired murmured, heading to his boyfriend's bed once they arrived to his room and cuddled against the pillows there.

Erwin and [Name] giggled, getting rid of their coats and shoes before joining him in bed.

"So cozy" [Name] whispered once they were under the sheets, cuddling closer to her boyfriends who trapped her in their arms.

"I love you"

Levi's confession had barely been heard as a whisper, but it was loud enough for both of them to hear it. Erwin smiled, hugging him tighter from behind, one hand reaching out to caress his girlfriend's face in front of him, who was smiling at the small soldier confession.

"I love you too" she says in a whisper, leaving a kiss on Erwin's palm and caressing Levi's cheek, this one fast asleep. "Thank you for loving me back" murmuring, her eyes starting to fall, heavy from sleep.

"We always did"

Was the last thing Erwin said before falling asleep as well, the view of his favorite people in front of him relaxing him, as well as the feeling of comfort of them in his arms, and him in theirs.

[absolutepokemontrash]

Date bled or demon bros react to mc likes to nap and cuddle throughout the day

I’ll do the brothers! :D

Lucifer

…MC get off of him. He’s in a meeting.

Aaaaaaaaand they’re napping. Wonderful.

At first, Lucifer is annoyed that he’s got another Belphie on his hands, especially during the time when Belphie’s locked in the attic. How dare MC remind him of the brother that he’s holding under house arrest >:c

But once the relationship grows, Lucifer submits to the snuggles. Luci quickly realizes that he’s very not used to cuddling.

As long as MC isn’t napping through their classes, they’re good. Nap whenever you want, MC, just make sure your homework is done.

MC should expect the cuddling to be one sided in public, but behind closed doors? Hoo boy, the man’s attached to MC like a koala to a tree.

MC may have also accidentally fixed his sleep schedule… it’s just… why does he feel sleepy when he sees them nap? *yawn*

He’s just going to rest his eyes for a second, the paperwork can wait.

Mammon

G-gah! Stupid human! What do they think they’re doin’ cuddling up to him like that!? They do know he’s a demon right?

For the first little while, Mammon tsuderes it up, but he gets so easily flustered whenever MC leans on him that it renders everything he says pretty much meaningless.

The first time MC ever fell asleep on him it was absolutely magical. He slowly patted their head and refused to move until the next day. Sure, his back hurt and he didn’t get any sleep, but MC was just so cute dammit!

Deeper into the relationship, Mammon is the happiest demon alive because he doesn’t need to ask for snuggles! He just plops himself down next to MC and his human just cuddles up next to him!

His absolute favourite thing is when MC falls asleep on his lap. They did it in public once and Mammon took this opportunity to flex. Yeah, he has a cute human that likes to cuddle him, do you?!

Mammon’s only wish is that MC would be more awake when he’s explaining his totally legit business ideas, they always seem to fall asleep once he gets goin’

Leviathan

SISJDJSJSJDJDJSJJAJAKALSKA- PHYSICAL CONTACT?!?!?! WITH HIM?! it’s more likely than you’d think.

First part of the relationship when Levi had just made a pact with MC, he was kind of confused. He had tried to murk this normie just a couple of days ago and now they’re cuddling up next to him? What’s that abou-

Levi.exe has stopped working.

Yeah, Levi blue screening happens a LOT. It takes literal months for MC and Levi to snuggle properly on a regular basis.

As totally Kawaii MC is when they nap on him, they just need to see how this fight scene is animated! MC! MC! Look! Homura and Mami are- WAKE UP AND LOOK AT THIS!

Cuddling in public causes Levi to die a flustered death. Fs in the chat everyone, had a good life, he did.

Though, it makes him feel so much more comfortable whenever MC just holds his hand out in public and doesn’t make a big deal about it. It makes him feel safe ^.^

Satan

At first, Satan was taking notes on how this human got so comfortable so quickly that they just started cuddling people and napping everywhere. Hm, humans appear to be quite adaptable… interesting.

They also seem to lack any sense of danger. Well, at least this one does.

Later down the line though, when MC first crawled into Satan’s lap to nap, it rivalled the first time a cat chose him. This was wild.

Snuggles… while reading stories… yes please…

Okay, that part sounded better than it ended up being. MC fell asleep while cuddling and ended up right on Satan’s arm, then in their sleep, MC basically locked Satan’s entire right side into a vice grip and couldn’t be pried off. Basically, Satan had to reread the same page of his book over and over and over again because he didn’t want to wake up MC.

Well, call it a learning experience, and Satan loves to learn, so next time, he was prepared for MC’s death cuddles.

Apparently he wasn’t prepared enough because the exact same thing happened again… multiple times more.

MC is literally a walking relaxant, Satan is significantly less filled with burning rage when they’re around. Notice I said less filled, he will still cut a bitch.

Asmodeus

Oh~ how bold! MC just plopped themselves down next to him and cuddled up close to him!

At first, Asmo was amused by all the cuddling MC was doing and made quite a few less than wholesome jokes about it. The Avatar of Lust has a dirty mind! Shocker!

But hark! (The herald angels siiiiing-) Asmo actually… likes platonic snuggles?!?! What is this sorcery?!

If MC and Asmo don’t enter a romantic relationship, my man still needs his cuddle quota met, ASAP.

If they do end up dating, hoo boy, MC and Asmo sure do a lot of snuggling, and “snuggling”.

But overall, Asmo loves being held and cuddled, and sleep is good for one’s skin!

Beelzebub

*sniffle* Beeeeeeeeeelllllllllpppppphhhhhiiiiiiiiieeeeeee-

Congratulations MC, they have made Beel more sad about his twin being gone just by existing :D

Once the custard incident happens and MC and Beel grow closer, oh man, oh man oh man, is he in desperate need of cuddles.

If MC ever falls asleep anywhere and needs to get from point A to point B, fret not, Beel is prepared. He will gently pick them up and they will awaken at point B. How nice!

Once Belphie gets his ass out of the attic, MC has competition.

Not really, Beel has enough love to go around. Both his sleepy beans can get carried around and cuddled with. Beel is big and strong for a reason.

Since MC has a vice grip while they cuddle, Beel kind of walks around with them clinging to his arm like a sloth to a tree. Belphie also picks up on this behaviour and starts doing it too.

Someone (*cough* Levi and Mammon *cough*) took a picture and posted it on Devilgram and now it’s kind of a meme template.

Belphegor

Gasp! Whomst- whomst is this human who comes before him and cuddles up close to him? This must be his soulmate! His other half! His destined partner!

…his destined partner was drooling all over his cardigan.

Ah well, two can play that game motherfucker. *SNORE*

Anyway, Belphie and MC? I would say power couple but in reality, the two just do a lot of snuggling and sleeping, it’s like they’re attached at the hip.

The two are always touching in some way, Belphie resting his head on MC’s shoulder, MC attaching themselves to Belphie’s torso like a koala, the two of them trading spit with each other… you get the idea.

It gets weird when the two start legitimately visiting each other in dreams, it gets so frequent it basically becomes a date night thing to just sleep and do weird shit in dreamland.

“Hey MC do you wanna hang out?” “Sorry, can’t, it’s date night. *SNORE*” “Yeah, shoo. *S N O R E*”

On their most recent date, MC and Belphie fought a dragon and then ate a giant cake.

Convert Anon💜 here!!

Also thank you fir looking for shady greedy boys for me, best wife award goes to you💍💜

Also imagine if we became tiny instead and now they have to take care of us👀

I would love to hang out in the mostro lounge and chill on the tweel’s shoulders(Floyd must have supervision) and also chilling on Azul’s desk and trying to help and giving him so many tiny kisses and falling asleep in one of their hats and their scarfs can be used as a blanket and also me trying yo help Jade with his job but instead I am in his breast pocket and looking cute and am another pair of eyes on the lounge

And also with Idia and chilling on his desk and watching him play games and also hanging out with Ortho and Idia can dress me up as some of his fav anime characters and I would sleep on his lap and cuddle into him and watch him blush so hard and worry about accidentally hurting me and me just giving him so much love

Or with Malleus and him not knowing what to do cause you’re even more fragile now and tiny and Lilia having to 100% stay away from the kitchen and you sleeping on Silver’s chest and Sebek having to watch his voice more cause you’re tiny and he’s somehow even louder than before

Of course convert 💜 Anonie, I just make my moon waifu happy ☺️🌻 and it’s shady boys then that’s what you’ll get. Don’t worry, I protect you from them too 😘

YES TINY MC/reader lets goooo

The first thing I would do it probably sleep lol what? You are tiny and can’t do birdbrains chores? Perfect. Time to find a big cup to hide under and sleep for the next week lolol

You are the cutest cheer squad ever. They give you a tiny uniform to wear and you help by either keeping Floyd busy and not destroying things or jade can have you watching for any trouble. Azul is in the zone so here you are giving him treats and bugging him to eat.

Idia would cradle you close and just stare at you. You can be the Henry to his Levi 💞💞 at one point you can’t help but question where he’s getting all these tiny clothes

You would be able to hand out with tsunotaro. Maybe on his head holding onto his horns. Or cupped on his palms and nuzzling his cheeks.

Lilia basically adopts you as one of his bats and now you can go flying together

Silver and you both need sleep so napping time it is! Sometimes he wakes up to find you and his animal friends having fun and talking and then giving you flowers and nuts and berries

Sebek is loud but he quiet downs…for you at least. He is another who will protect you with all his being. You are human and weak and of course as a knight it is duty to protect those close to him…what? No! He meant to say his honor dictates he protects the weak!

Erwin watched Levi train his squad. He noticed he was pushing them a little harder than normal and looked pretty exhausted. He was irritated too. He wasn't sleeping much and he was barely eating a thing. Erwin was concerned about his friend and was determined to discover what was the leading cause.

Levi clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Springer! Move faster! You look like you're carrying underwear full of shit!" He growled. "Blouse, that is not food! Tch, all of you do laps!"

Erwin moved closer to his friend. "Levi?" He flinched a little at the glare his Captain gave him. "Maybe relax a little. You've been pushing him hard."

Levi turned to Erwin. "People die easily out there. They need to pull their shit together! I'm pushing them to work hard so they don't lose their lives easily! I'm doing this for their own damn good!"

Erwin placed his big hand on his friend's muscular shoulder. "Relax a little, okay?"

"Relax!? How can I relax!? I can't when she-." Levi caught himself and paused a moment. "I just can't. The numbers are off at the moment with losses. We're losing too many."

Erwin frowned a little. "You sure there is no other reason?"

"Tch, yes. Now I have work to do."

Erwin watched Levi walk away to carry on training. He moved on to see Hange was testing a few things outside with Moblit. "Hange? Have you noticed anything different with Levi?"

Hange stood up and hummed in response. "Oh, well uhh...shortie has been cranky for three days now."

"Three days?" He frowned in thought. "What happened three days ago to set him off?"

Moblit said your name. "She went on a mission."

Hange nodded. "She's often seen with Levi, so maybe..." Hange grinned. "Maybe them two are a couple and they never told us! Ooow the Captain and squad leader. Kind of romantic and sexy. Oh! I have so much to ask her about Levi."

Moblit groaned. "Please don't. He'll end up trying to kill you. The Captain is very private."

Erwin let out a long sigh as he said your name. "I suppose it makes sense. I'll go talk to Mike and see if he confirms it." He parted ways with his researchers to see Mike with his squad and Levi training hard by himself and almost destroying everything around him. "Mike?"

Mike turned and looked down at his Commander. "Erwin."

"Can I ask you something?"

Mike snorted. "Sure. Don't need to ask."

Erwin folded his arms and sighed. "I'm concerned about Levi."

"He's missing his girlfriend."

Erwin's brow raised. "His what?"

Mike nodded to Levi. "He's been in a relationship for a while now." He said your name. "They're a cute couple. She teaches him new things. He always smells of her and I'm pretty sure she took his virginity. he can't get enough of her. He's madly in love. I'm pretty sure he's stolen some shirts of hers and kept them in his room."

Erwin stared at his friend for a while and felt shocked at this new revelation. He thought he knew everything about Levi, but he was wrong. He was proud that the man he thought kept people at a distance because of loss was actually seeking comfort in the arms of a wonderful woman.

He smiled a little as his heart felt full. He was happy for Levi and now understood why he was so snappy. He was hoping Levi wouldn't snap too much at you when you came back soon. He was sure everything was going to be okay, but he was going to keep an eye on you when you came back just in case.

He moved to the gates as they opened for you and your squad. He noticed that two people were in the carriage with wounds, but there were no deaths. You seemed okay and not broken mentally, so it hinted that the mission went well for you.

Erwin waved to you and called your name. "Mission report."

You slipped off your horse and sighed. "Went well. We've set up the small base in the trees for future scouting and observations. It's high enough that no one will be grabbed."

"Fantastic news."

You grinned. "I'll write up my report."

He glanced over to Levi and saw he was looking over with a longing gaze. "Head on in and get some rest."

You saluted. "Yes, sir."

Erwin waited around for a while before following you into the base. He spied around corners in the halls until he reached outside your room. He smiled softly when he saw you and Levi talking for a bit and then Levi tackled you into a hug and shook a little. He smiled as you petted Levi's head and kissed his forehead.

Erwin's cheeks burned when he saw Levi slam you against your door and roughly kiss you. He gasped as Levi tugged at your shirt as you fumbled with your office door. Erwin was hoping you'd make it into your office as soon as possible because someone would stumble upon you both and Levi might end up punching them.

He relaxed when you stumbled into your room and the door was slammed shut. He relaxed and let out a long sigh. He knew now that Levi was deeply and madly in love. Erwin was happy and proud of his friend and decided that he was going to give you both a week off so you could recharge on each other.

The cadets are turned into kids and think you and Levi are their parents (2)

Here is PART 2 of this!

MASTERLIST

— You were mad at them.

Since the cadets turned into kids you were more stressed than usual – between taking care of them all, doing your paperwork in time and helping Hange with theirs, it was a lot. Adding to this, your sleeping hours were cut in half as well due to kids never sleeping. You were overwhelmed and on edge, ready to snap at any moment.

“Levi,” you called him after lunch, “can you watch over the kids for a few hours? I–.” you took a deep breath, “I just have to take a bath and rest a little bit… it won’t be long!”

“Of course, take your time.” Levi kissed your forehead before leaving your room.

Levi went to the children’s room while you went to relax a bit.

“Where’s mommy?” Eren asked when Levi came in alone.

“She’ll come later.”

“I want mommy now!” Jean shouted frowning.

“Stop whining or she won’t come here at all.” Levi told them which made them all shut up.

They continued to play together when Jean came to Levi. He struggled to climb on the couch but succeeded and sat on Levi’s lap. He turned around so he could face Levi and asked.

“When is mommy coming here?”

“I don’t know.” Levi answered calmly.

“Play with us then!” Jean pouted. “Come with us.” Jean stood on Levi’s lap when Levi ignored him.

“No. Sit down or leave.” Levi told him in a harsh tone. “No, don’t cry.” Levi’s voice softened when he saw Jean’s tears. “I’ll come and play ok? Just… don’t cry.” Levi stood up with Jean in his arms.

For a few hours, Levi had to play dolls with the kids who were really into it – imagining complex stories, doing voices etc. It was dinner time when they all started to get tired of playing.

“Where’s mommy?” Armin asked shyly.

“Aren’t you all hungry?” Levi quickly changed the subject.

“Yay!” they all shouted.

“I’ll go grab something to eat then, don’t move.” Levi ordered before leaving the room.

When Levi left the room, Eren stood up and told the others that he was going to look for you. Sasha, Connie, Mikasa and Armin were against the idea knowing that Levi would not be happy about it, then there was Jean who agreed with Eren.

“Fine, we’ll leave without you!” Eren opened the door with difficulty.

Mikasa quickly followed Eren and Jean as well as Armin because lately, Armin got the habit of following or imitating Jean. Wherever Jean went, Armin would follow – whatever Jean was doing, Armin would do the same. Jean felt irritated when Armin follow or copied him, but he never said anything. He did once – the first time – and Armin cried which made Jean felt bad and he swore never to make Armin cry again.

“Where is mommy?” Armin asked.

“I don’t know.” Eren said.

“Just go to her room.” Mikasa commented.

They all run to your room and it was not locked. You were trying to sleep in your bed after a few hours of work when you suddenly heard the kids yelling.

“Mommy!” Jean yelled, jumping in your bed.

Meanwhile, Levi immediately regretted his decision when he came back to only two kids out of six. He asked them where the rest of them went and Sasha told him that they were looking for you. Levi took them with him and directly went to your room. Armin and Mikasa were clinging onto you while Jean and Eren were shouting and jumping on the bed.

“Stop jumping on the bed or you’ll break it!” you desperately tried to stop them.

“Eren! Jean! Stop.” Levi ordered in a harsh tone which made them immediately stop. “Y/N,” Levi said more softly, “are you ok?”

“Is mommy sick?” Sasha asked.

“No.” you said.

“Then come play us!” Eren shouted.

“Stop screaming.” you warned him. “And let go of me.” you told Armin and Mikasa but none of them listened to you.

“Kids, come here and let’s go.” Levi tried.

“NO!” Eren shouted loudly, “MOMMY! Come play with us!”

“Mommy!” Jean joined Eren.

“Stop calling me that!” you shouted back which made everyone shut up, “I am not your mother so all of you… just –.” you felt tears falling down, “stop.”

“Mommy?” Mikasa whispered worried.

“I heard shouting outside.” Erwin came in. “What’s happening?” he asked worried.

“Take the kids with you.” Levi said. “And close the door please.”

Erwin did not questioned Levi’s request and took the kids with him in his office. None of the kids wanted to leave you, but Erwin easily took them in his arms. Levi walked to you and wrapped his arms around you.

“Hey, it’s ok.” Levi murmured. “Let’s sit down.”

Levi brought you to bed and sat next you and let you cry on his shoulder. He would just hold you close to him until you stopped crying.

“I feel like shit.” you sobbed. “The kids probably hate me by now too.”

“They don’t.”

“Did you hear what I said? Th-they’re kids! And I- I just yelled at them.” you lamented, “I am the worst mother ever, and they’re not even my real kids!”

“I’m sure everything will work out.”

Erwin on his way to his office with the children saw Hange and brought them with him. Erwin, with Hange’s help, tried to cheer the kids up but they would not stop crying – they wanted to be with you and Levi.

“Is mommy going to leave us?” Armin sobbed.

“No!” Erwin said quickly.

“Y/N, she loves you all very much.” Hange said. “But you have to understand that she was… mh… very tired and she had a lot of work to do.”

“And sometimes,” Erwin continued, “you just have to let that person alone.”

“We have to leave mommy?” Connie asked.

“Yes,” Hange said, “but not forever. It would just be for a day so she can rest.”

“Is mommy not going to be our mommy because we made her upset?” Jean asked shyly.

“No, of course not.” Erwin reassured them. “I’m sure she’ll come back soon.”

Erwin and Hange stayed with the kids until night before Levi came in to put them to bed. Once they cleaned up and changed, they all went to bed without protest.

“Ok, I’ll turn off the lights.” Levi walked out.

“Daddy.” Armin called him before he closed the door, “Is mommy not going to say goodnight to us?”

“She’s n –.” Levi thought about it, “I’ll go and ask her.”

Levi came back to your room and you were already laying in bed, comfortably installed under the blanket. Levi sat next to you and rested his head on your stomach.

“The kids want to see you.”

“Aren’t they upset?” you worried, putting your hand through his hair.

“No, they’re just… they want to see you.”

“I should go then.” you stood up. “I’ll be right back.” you kissed him before leaving.

You walked very quickly toward the kids room and when you opened the door, you noticed they were all still up even though the lights were off. Sasha was the first one to see you and she jumped out of the bed to hug you.

“Hey.” you smiled, kneeling down. “Aren’t you sleepy?”

“No.” Sasha smiled.

“Let’s go back to bed alright?”

You sat down on the bed next to all the kids – they were all staring at you, waiting for you to talk first.

“I’m sorry about what happened earlier.” you apologised. “I should never have yelled at you kids.”

“Don’t stop being my mommy please.” Eren frowned.

“We’re sorry mommy.” Jean said with teary eyes.

“No don’t be.” you comforted them, “I love you all very much.” you smiled.

You opened your arms and they all came to hug you, smiling and happy.

— They sleep between you two — captain dad and squad leader mum.

Armin:

Armin had a nightmare about you leaving for an expedition and not coming back to him. He had Levi coming back devastated and not talking to him or anyone. A stranger – someone from your squad – had to tell him the news that you were never coming back. He woke up panicked and ran to your room. You and Levi agreed that the doors to your room would always be opened if there were any problems.

“Mommy! Daddy!” Armin came in crying.

“Armin?” Levi woke up. “Hey what’s wrong?” he put Armin between you too.

“What’s wrong?” you asked still half asleep.

“Mommy!” Armin cried next to you which woke you up instantly.

“What happened?” you panicked. “Armin, it’s ok.” you patted his head, “I’m here.”

“You didn’t come back.” Armin sobbed.

“What?” you whispered looking at Levi.

“I don’t know.” Levi mouthed.

“Armin,” you wiped his tears away, “what happened?”

“Bad dream.” Armin sobbed harder. “You were n-not here and daddy was s-sad! An-and he wasn’t w-with me!”

“Armin, it’s ok.” you reassured him, “I’m here and daddy’s here too.”

Levi laid on the bed and put Armin next to him. You took the blanket and put it on the three of you and soon enough, Armin calmed down and fell back asleep. In the morning, Armin was found to be sleeping on top of Levi, with his hand resting on Armin’s back so he would not fall.

“This is too much for my heart.” you whispered to yourself.

Jean:

Jean had been feeling slightly sick for the past couple of days but did not tell anyone. He stayed in bed when it was time to eat dinner and you were worried at first which made you bring him dinner but he was asleep already. You brought back the tray and gave it to the kids who were not against the idea of eating more.

Jean woke up in the middle of the night, still slightly sick and extremely hungry. He discreetly go out of bed and went to your room. When Jean came in, he noticed lights were still on – Levi was still awake, probably working.

“Daddy?” Jean asked timidly. Which startled Levi.

“What are you still doing up at this hour?” Levi whispered, scared to wake you up.

“I’m hungry.” Jean admitted.

“Come here.” Levi put away his papers.

Levi took him in his arms and put him on the bed between you two which woke you up.

“Mh. What’s wrong?” you mumbled.

Jean turned his head toward Levi so he could answer for him.

“Jean’s hungry.” Levi said.

“Mh – I’m up.” you dragged yourself out of bed slowly. “I’m going to bring you some food alright?” you patted Jean’s head and noticed his forehead was a little hot. “Are you sick Jean?” you asked worried.

“No.” Jean answered.

“Jean, don’t lie. Are you sick?” Levi asked again.

“I don’t know.” Jean said looking at his hands playing with the blanket.

“Jean,” you said softly, “it’s ok. I’ll go and bring some hot tea too alright?”

You went to the kitchen and prepared some food and started to boil some water as well. You took two cups – one for Jean and another for Levi - and poured some water in it with the tea leafs. You put the smashed potatoes and the vegetables on a plate and put everything on a tray before going back to your room. Levi started to feed Jean while you prepared a cold towel for Jean.

“Jean, what did you forget earlier?” Levi said when you came back.

“Thank you mommy!” Jean smiled.

“You’re welcome baby.” you smiled back.

When Jean finished eating, Levi offered to cleaned it up while you put Jean to sleep. You thanked him and went back to bed. You put the cold towel on Jean’s forehead and laid next to him.

“You can sleep now.” you rest your hand on Jean stomach.

“Good night mommy.”

“Good night.”

“Good night daddy!” Jean said when Levi came back to bed.

Eren:

Just like Armin, Eren had a nightmare that night. When he first woke up, he tried to go back to sleep because he did not want to bother you nor Levi. But after thirty minutes of trying, he went to your bedroom. This time, both of you were asleep.

Eren hesitated a second about whether he should wake you up or not. He quickly decided not to and laid on the floor. Levi woke up not too long after Eren came in because he was thirsty. He only noticed Eren’s presence when he came back from the kitchen.

“Y/N.” Levi whispered

“Mmh?”

“Eren’s on the ground.”

“Mh.” you mumbled, “What?” you asked again a minutes later – your eyes wide open.

“Look.” Levi pointed at Eren.

“What is he doing on the ground?”

“I don’t know.”

“Bring him here.” you told Levi.

“You do it.” Levi argued.

“I’ll wake him up.”

“And I won’t?”

“You never did when I used to fell asleep in your office.” you reminded him.

“Fine.”

Levi miraculously brought Eren on the bed without waking him up and put him between you two. During the night, Eren ended up on Levi’s left side meaning Levi was in the middle. While he had his arms around Eren – so he would not fall – you had yours around Levi.

— Sasha and Connie would often sneak out and sleep with you and Levi.

— Mikasa never did. When she had nightmares she would only hug her teddy bear closer. She was scared to bother you. Once she did wake Sasha up and slept closer to her.

——————————

Shorter Stories

— Mikasa was known to be always quiet – she was afraid to bother people especially you or Levi. Even when she was hurt, she would stay quiet. Once during a meeting, she accidentality cut herself with a piece of paper. It was Eren, ten minutes later who had to tell you.

“Next time, you tell me immediately ok?” you told Mikasa as you cleaned the cut.

“I’m sorry.”

“What for?”

“You had to leave for me.” Mikasa explained.

“You are more important than the meeting, so next time just tell me alright?”

Mikasa only nodded and followed you back to the meeting.

— Jean is known to be a momma’s boy – he would always stay with you and play with you rather than Levi. He often cried when you had to leave without them. He loved to be held by you, he knew how to walk perfectly, but he would rather stay with you.

“Stop spoiling him.” Levi would often say to you.

“I can’t help it. Jean is adorable!”

When others were watching over the kids, you were the one Jean would be asking for, not Levi which surprised you when Hange came because Jean hurt himself while playing.

“Jean’s at the infirmary – nothing serious though!” Hange quickly added.

“I’ll go.” you stood up.

“Mh…” Hange stopped you, “he asked for Levi.”

“Are you sure?” you asked them.

“Yes.”

“Oh,” you gasped dramatically, “did you hear that?”

“What?” Levi asked ready to leave.

“My heart being broken by that kid.” you threw yourself back to bed.

When Jean got better, he immediately came back to you. You tried to be mad at Jean – in a playful way – but when you saw him nearly crying, you apologised and let him stay with you.

— The kids were staying with you in the morning, and it was decided that Levi would watch them after lunch because you had work to do with your squad. You were holding Eren in your arms and he refused to let go of you when Levi arrived.

“I want to stay with mommy please!” Eren cried holding onto you.

“Eren,” you calmed him down, “I will be back really quick, I promise.”

“Noo!” Eren cried as Levi took him.

Eren was desperately trying to hold your arms, but Levi was swift. Eren leaned over and grabbed your hair and pulled it which made you scream and lose your balance.

“Eren!” Levi yelled putting him down. “Y/N, are you ok?” he knelt down.

“I’m fine.” you reassured him, “it’s ok.”

“Mommy?” Eren hesitated.

“Eren,” Levi started, “go to your room with the others.” but Eren did not move, “right now!” Levi ordered.

“Levi.” you put your hands on his face, “I’m ok.” you turned to Eren who was now crying silently. “Eren, it’s ok, I’m fine.”

“’M sorry mommy!”

“It’s ok, now go with daddy and listen to him ok?”

Eren nodded and took Levi’s hand and left.

“Sorry daddy.” Eren sobbed.

“Mh.” Levi answered. “Don’t ever do that again am I clear?”

“Never!”

——————————

Short HCs:

— Sasha’s birthday happened that year when they were still kids. You all baked a cake together.

— Connie would often draw pictures of you all as a family during meetings.

— Erwin loved staying with the kids. He would often put them to bed.

— Hange loved the kids too – they would always play with them outside with Moblit, Mike and Nanaba.

PART 3 (coming soon)
