A Door to the Future | Mammon x Reader

.7K words | GN! Reader | CW: children

“Shit, which door did Barbatos say it was again…” Mammon walked down a corridor of doors in Barbatos’s room. He wasn’t even sure if he’d gone down the right hallway.

“Red door, red door…I think,” he mumbled as he strolled. His eyes lit up when he saw the door near the end of the hallway. “Bingo!”

He laughed to himself and sprinted to the door. He opened it up exited and waltzed right in when something collided with his leg.

“Hey!” He snapped instinctively before seeing the object was in fact a small boy.

“Oh shit, you alright kid…” Mammon asked and awkwardly crouched down to check on the boy. The boy looked up at him with bright blue eyes and Mammon raised one brow curiously.

“Hey, you kinda look like—“

“Papa!” The boy exclaimed and clung to Mammon’s leg. “I thought I didn’t get to say goodbye.” He sobbed and Mammon froze awkwardly.

“Yeah…um…here I…am?” Mammon was beyond confused and his instincts were telling him this definitely wasn’t the right door.

“Mammon, is that you?” Mammon froze when he heard your voice. Suddenly you appeared before him, older and more graceful than before but just as beautiful.

Mammon’s cheeks flushed when he saw you. “Oh, uh—“

You hugged him excitedly. “Good, I was worried Matty missed you.” You sighed in relief and Mammon looked around the room anxiously.

What was happening? Where did this door lead?

“Why don’t you have some coffee before you go, you can’t run off to work like that without breakfast,” you told him and he nodded wordlessly.

Wasn’t this the house of Lamentation? Something felt different about it. Mammon saw toys scattered across the floor and when he waltzed into the dining room behind you he saw six chairs instead of eight.

This made Mammon uneasy. Was everyone okay?

“Six…” you heard Mammon mumble worriedly.

“Did you forget? Leviathan and Asmodeus are visiting later so I brought the extra chairs out.”

Mammon noticeably relaxed when he felt Matty cling to his leg again. Mammon wasn’t sure what to do and kept walking, dragging the other leg behind him as the boy laughed excitedly.

“Daddy?” Mammon gasped and looked behind him where he saw a young girl, the spitting image of himself.

She wore a backpack and her hair was in a sloppy ponytail. She looked confused and possibly annoyed?

“Why aren’t you at work? Are ya skipping again?” She glared teasingly.

You laughed and Mammon shook his head, “I ain’t skippin’!”

“Ava, don’t tease your father so much,” you scolded and Mammon audibly gulped.

“F-fath—“

He was cut off when he heard Barbatos’s voice in his head.

“Mammon, return. Now.”

Mammon gently pried the boy from his leg and gave you an anxious look.

“Hey, listen…Umm. I gotta—“

You smiled and nodded. “I know.” Of course, you knew. Mammon wouldn’t stop talking about the future he saw with you when he returned to his own timeline. You’d wondered when you’d finally meet the Mammon of the past again. Alas, you couldn’t get him to stay any longer than he originally had.

You and Mammon shared a knowing smile. “See ya soon…yeah?” Mammon asked and you nodded. You waved and beckoned Ava and Matty to your side.

“Kids, say goodbye to dad.”

Ava grinned and Matty waved, “Bye papa!” They chimed in unison and Mammon, looking back until the last second shuffled out the door he came through.

Barbatos dragged him into the hallway and glared down at him.

“Wh…what was that…” Mammon gasped, holding his chest.

Barbatos rolled his eyes. “That was what you weren’t meant to see.”

“Wh-huh…d-does that really happen!? Are ___ and I gonna? Y-you know!”

Barbatos rolled his eyes again and sighed. “It’s a possibility.”

Mammon turned red and his heartbeat faster. “Hell no! It’s not a possibility, that’s happening! Definitely!”

“If you say so,” Barbatos clucked and started walking away towards the correct door.

“Hey don’t leave me!” Mammon yelled and ran after him, mind racing.

Could he make it happen? Of course, he could right!? Anything to see those little kids again, and you…every day for the rest of his life.

“Ava and Matty, huh…” Mammon grinned to himself. He couldn’t wait to tell you all about it. “___ is definitely gonna be with me, not even Lucifer can change that.”

i literally cannot have a normal conversation with my mother.

i was complaining about having to come up with a costume for my hip hop class which recommended a red accessory and she said she had a red bandana

"no i don't want to do that, for a variety of reasons"

"well, it can be a gay thing."

"... mother, that was a gay SEX thing, i'm not wearing a bandana like that"

"gay sex thing?"

"yeah, the different colors mean... things i'm not talking to you about, figure it out on your own"

"is that why my gay roommate kept stealing all of my bandanas"

"i guess so??"

"well he's dead now. a lot of my friends died of AIDS"

"oh"

"yeah"

"..."

"gay sex though, really?"

"i'm not doing this"

Also I haven’t seen anyone else mention this but I was absolutely wrecked when the first PJO episode came out

The interpretations were so different in my head

I grew up with these characters

Seeing them represented differently

It basically ruined the whole show for me

These characters were my childhood

And now they’re just

Not the same anymore

And yes I am talking about THE WAY THEY FUCKING PRONOUNCED THALIA’S NAME ALL MY FUCKING LIFE I THOUGHT IT WAS “Tie-la” BUT TURNS OUT IT’S FUCKING

“THAH-LIA”

Vi would be a nightmare to play cards with, especially if it's gambling enough to put money on the table, because even if she doesn't actually know how to play the game she'd absolutely be the exact sort of personality to abrade everyone at the table, get them mad enough that they'll start making stupid strategic decisions and staying in way longer than they should in order to prove her wrong. To this end we think that Vi has been hired at least once to show up at a casino and piss someone off at the blackjack table until they try to beat her ass and get kicked out.

"Say Nyalter, this is a silly question, but... do... you want to do something for New Years? We could go for prayers in the morning, then eat something, if you like? I should be free by then, so...-"

"Of course, Honey."

For a moment... Nyalter looks a bit older than she usually does. It's a trick of the light and the way in which her shoulders sag, and the vague glimpse of tears in her eyes.

Then suddenly she realises that for whatever reason, she got emotional when she didn't want to and hugs him so that he can't actually see her face till her expression composes itself.

"So... did you have somewhere in mind? That Shrine you were talking about, perhaps? I should hopefully be able to clear something with my manager. I might be a bit busy on the other days around New Years though..."

It's not a fun time at the casino for the workers-

"Erm- Sorry, it's fine. So you don't have anything you need to worry about? In that case... I'll go along with whatever you have planned."

It's always nice to leave him completely in charge and just enjoy his company, and not worry about having to cram a plan in before he has work to do or something-

Wait. I made Amy interested in bugs bc 1) it fits the personality I want her to have and 2) it was directly inspired by my own interests at that age. But I just realized something. Anton's in demolition in the new game, but he was in pest extermination in the first one (several years prior in-universe). She absolutely would've gotten into bugs just from hearing about her dad's work.
