Yuma Month: Day 23: Hand Holding

“The more I held hands with Halara…the more tired I became…”

Prompt based on yet another fic of mine.

[pomefioredove]

So people use Kalim, right? Like pretend to be his friend because he has money-

What if Kalim's crush is just like "Yeah I grew up poor....anyways! I bought you this gold bracelet! Probably not real gold, but I thought it'd fit your style." And is just always pulling up with gifts and little trinkets and just refuses to let Kalim spend any money 😭 I also imagine if Kalim gave them a gift, they'd just start bawling because they don't know how to accept gifts-

:3c I love a little kalim posting

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ the mystery of the magi

type of post: short fic characters: kalim additional info: romantic, reader is gender neutral, reader is yuu, realizing now that I went a liytle off-prompt, sorry u-u

You gave Kalim one rule.

One rule. You had no expectations, no requirements, no shopping list.

Just one rule... that happened to be impossible for him to follow.

"No money?" Jamil asks, watching Kalim pace the room. "You can't spend any money? So no clothes, no jewelry, no games?"

It's far past curfew, but even Jamil had long forgotten about that. That's how strange this whole thing is.

Kalim has never looked so worried. "Not a thaumark. They said so!"

"Did they...?"

Of course. Jamil has thought you were weird from the day Kalim started coming home with plastic toys and friendship bracelets, "gifts" of yours. But this is just absurd.

The heir to one of the richest families in the world has days to find you the perfect birthday gift, and he can't spend any money.

Kalim's eyes are wide with thought, which is a strange look on him. "They say that my presence is enough..."

"But it's not," Jamil finishes the thought for him. Kalim had always given gifts as love- handing out gold and jewels like they were candy- which made him a treat for... well, most of NRC. But not you.

"Well... there's plenty you can do without spending," Jamil says. "You could... cook something, or plan a nice date..."

Kalim pouts. "It's not enough! Everything they get me is so... perfect... I want to do the same!"

Perfect, meaning the cheap toys from claw machines, drawings, handmade jewelry, half-edible cookies... Kalim keeps everything you give him. Everything. His room is beginning to look like the prize shelf at an arcade.

"This is quite the conundrum, isn't it..." Jamil mutters. "Are you sure I can't-"

"No! I need to come up with it on my own! They're just... so good at gift-giving. I wonder how they do it..." Kalim sighs. Jamil rolls his eyes.

"Then... perhaps I can offer some advice. The sort of gift you're looking to give doesn't come from here," Jamil says, pointing to his head. He trails his finger down to his chest.

"...It comes from here."

Though that was complete nonsense, Kalim lights up. "I-I think I understand! Thanks, Jamil!"

And then he's gone.

.

Trapped in a circle of friends and Scarabia students, you awkwardly smile at their birthday wishes.

Grim's greedy little paws dig into the homemade cake before the candles are out, getting icing all over himself. You chuckle, a warm, loving sound that makes Kalim beam. Good so far.

"Time for gifts. We do have a curfew to mind," Jamil says, and Grim laughs maniacally, reaching out for the first box.

"Actually," Kalim says, smiling as if it were his own birthday. "I was hoping I'd get to give my gift first!"

You chuckle. "I don't see why not,"

Kalim returns the gesture, and he stands on the table, drawing everyone's attention to him. Jamil raises an eyebrow.

"I'm not seeing a box!" Grim shouts, and you shush him. Kalim clears his throat.

"I'm usually not so bad at this, but I had a lot of trouble thinking of the perfect present for you... until Jamil said I was thinking too much here... and not here," he says, pointing first to his head, and then lower, to his throat.

You give Jamil a confused look, but he looks just as lost.

"So... that's what I'm going to do. Happy birthday!"

Everyone watches in some mix of amusement and horror as Kalim begins to sing... in your honor.

Without any accompanying music, he performs, in front of everyone you know, a song about everything he loves about you. Even Jamil looks horrified.

When it's over, the room is quiet. Everyone is staring at Kalim as if his head had fallen off.

Then, slowly, you stand. And you clap.

You're beaming. "That was amazing! Again! Again!"

Kalim grins, unphased by the weird looks everyone is giving you two, and he hops off the table to pull you into a hug.

"I'm so glad you liked it!"

"Liked it!? That was..." you laugh, hugging him back. "That was perfect."

"I can sing it as much as you want! Every night, if it makes you happy!"

"Sevens help me..." Jamil sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose. Trey gives him a sympathetic pat on the back.

Unexpected Visit to The Devildom 2.1

Followed LovesOfLauryn and Lavi Alraune's playthrough.

It has been a year since the Devildom. The calling rule was made because Milady seemed very busy and stressed out, so the rule was to prevent the brothers from taking up too much of her time. Solomon, after finding out her location, became a recent friend she hung out with. However, she kept him unaware of her situation, only answering with "I'm going through personal issues" when he questioned her.

"Who are you again?"

"I like the rule because it gives me time to do important things instead having your brothers talk my ear off."

Solomon brings up the Devildom and she admits she misses the brothers.

"Going where?"

"Wait, Solomon. Could I go and get-"

(You couldn't give me a warning or let me prepare before dropping me down a black hole. At least she has her human world phone and doesn't have to go through being a missing person again.)

(When he said he wanted to give you head, he didn't mean land on his head. Sorry, not sorry)

"I wasn't trying to land on you."

"I wasn't planning on coming here, Solomon just showed up and brought us here. Ow. But it is good to see you guys again."

"Oh, okay. Actually, I'm not sure how to get there."

Thinks. "Probably."

"Yeah, it was a bit nerve-wracking."

Explores the whole house and go through memory lane, and maybe go through the brothers' rooms >:3c

(I have to cook if I want human world food. Duck you, Belphie.)

(The Avatar of Pride cried at hearing I had to go home, and now got stupidly excited at seeing me again. Knowing I'm that important to him makes me happy ^-^)

Pushes the soup away.

"That doesn't mean you should have touched it."

Starts wondering around the house out of boredom and finds Satan in the library.

"Knowledge is power."

Is getting concerned.

"No thanks." Steps back at him approaching her, making an uncomfortable expression.

"I wished to see you all."

Panics slightly at him slamming his hands on the book stack. "... The cleanup is going to be a nightmare." Looks at him and makes a stern look. "Get back."

Pinches Satan's cheeks. "You all have a pact with me. If something happens, I'll just use it against them. Now then, I have to go clean up the mess your brothers caused."

"I'm just wondering around."

"-this one here looks like it's Mammon's. Which means it's fair game." Rude.

"Sort of sweet... It almost makes me want to nibble on you."

Backs away. "Beel, hop on one leg."

"Hm? Why?"

"Just do it."

~~~~

Belphie walks in, talks to them, then suddenly tells them he has to go. "Belphie, wait!"

"What is it? I want to go sleep."

"Give me a high five."

"? Okay..."

"Feel better?"

"Hm? Wh- ! Actually, I do. How did you know?"

"Don't worry about it, gotta go." Runs off.

She walks upstairs and gets tackled by Asmo. "Get off." Unimpressed to confusion on what is happening to him.

"Umm." She's so confused on what's going on.

"How do you feel about me, Kate?" Freezes at the question. "I love you as a friend." An honest answer he doesn't take seriously.

Pulls her into his arms before she could react. The weight lost comment does fit Milady's situation.

"Could you please stop?"

Narrows eyes.

Flicks him on the forehead.

Fucks up on the secret phrase.

Stands there, arms crossed and a bit smug as Levi freaks out.

"Levi, you just have to follow an order of mine and you will be fine."

"Levi, stop insulting yourself."

"They got to me first. I'm surprised you didn't come find me. I guess I'm not that important to you."

"W-What?! I never said-! Don't mess with me like that?!"

"Anyway, give me a hug."

[Unwanted Guilt]

"No, not really."

"I would love to go."

Milady tells the brothers first before going to Diavolo about the Celestial Realm.

"Do I have your permission to go?"

"Guys, you're not coming. The Celestial Realm wouldn't allow it."

(Asmo, what the fuck.)

"I'm a bit nervous." I'm always nervous, Barbatos.

"Yeah, they're annoying sometimes."

She's honestly terrified at arriving in the Celestial Realm because she's worried about accidentally being disrespectful and/or saying curse words/doing something she's not suppose to.

Second time?

"It's beautiful, but it's burning my eyes."

"Oh?" Michael wants to meet me. (Fear.)

Just smiles at Luke.

"Aw, man. I guess I have to wait to listen to embarrassing Lucifer stories."

"You two should visit the human world. I could show you my apartment."

Pats Luke's head. (I feel bad for him.)

Shrugs at the brothers.

"Um, I never done a festival before so I don't know if I'm the right option."

"I don't think he can embarrass you."

"Um, no, I have a festival to plan and I have no clue where to first. I got some research to do."

"Belphie, you're in trouble. You forgot today's meeting."

"Could this be a curse?"

"I think we should keep moving forward."

"Beel could stay here and we could keep going?"

"Beel! Don't eat that."

"Levi, breathe!"

"Levi..."

Shrugs at Belphie.

"Probably Lucifer."

"Actually, I have snacks in my room. If you promise to do your work, I'll help you out."

No, she's not okay with setting up a whole festival.

"I don't know."

Sets 10 minutes on her phone and stares up at the ceiling.

(I'm saying Belphie finished his work and had breakfast.)

She apologizes for bringing the game to the school, then gets surprised at Diavolo's excitement.

"How are we going to get to the council room?"

The memory of the vow pops into her head. Looks at the coliseum and follows after Diavolo.

Has a small list of ideas.

(Lucifer, stop guilt tripping me.) She tugs on his sleeve and does not meet his eyes. "I'm sorry, Lucifer. I borrowed a game from Levi and accidentally dropped it when I went after Lord Diavolo."

"I think I handle it."

"How to release the stress you just gave me."

"Pff-"

"... Prideful and a bit of a sadist."

"Romance."

"... The main character gains a new understanding of themself."

-_-

"Definitely not your idea."

"I guess so. Let's quickly get the things we need."

Narrows eyes, then raises brows and looks at No.2. "I didn't know you had a kid."

"We're kinda busy at the moment."

Squints. "Mammon, you're coming with."

Makes a face at "nice couple."

"You're too easy to read."

"No, we're just friends." Purposely doesn't look at Mammon.

"Eh." Not interested in the zombie iguana, but still takes it.

Hand holding.

True.

"No promises." >:3

She hugs him because he's scared, but then he says it's a turn-on. Takes her arms away from him and looks disgusted. "Don't make it weird."

"So? We're at a carnival, is it really that bad?"

Doesn't have a response for Mammon when he said the Devildom is boring without her, but asking her to staying in the Devildom. "Sorry, but I allow to the human world."

"Mammon and I are at the carnival ;p"

"Does there have to be a reason for us to hold hands?"

"Why do you need to throw it away? Can't you just remove the curse?"

"Number 2, if you don't want to see my shoe flying towards your face, you better shut up."

Shrugs with a sure.

"What if it's both?"

"You say that but yet you're the one who called me master." Smug human.

"I have an idea, but that's not my place to say. You have to ask him yourself."

"Is really that bad to rely on me?"

Excuse you, seduce me? Boy, the only thing you're going to be doing is making me uncomfortable.

Don't do that to her.

"I'm hungry, but I'm not going to eat a lot of it. Just warning you."

"I'm kinda done with rides for today."

"Can't one of you stop it?"

Milady backs up at the fight getting more out of control. She yells "stop!" without realizing she was using the pacts, then becomes surprised at them being thrown onto the floor. She's stunned at her own power.

"I'm sorry, guys, I didn't mean to throw you to the ground like that. I even didn't know I was using the pacts until afterwards."

Furls brows at Mammon for yelling at Levi.

Doesn't yell at Beel, just lectures him like a tired mom.

"Morning, guys."

"What? Why am I paying?"

"Um, excuse you, should I remind you I was the one who stopped everyone from causing more damage unlike you who didn't help the situation. The bill is your problem, not mine." She gets up from the table, grabs her bag and leaves for RAD.

She's having lunch with Diavolo and Barbatos while talking about the fight.

[Understand?]

Simeon, you vicious.

Nods to Solomon.

Shakes head. "I feel fine."

She told Simeon she doesn't want to be a part of the play, but got dragged in anyway.

"I'm always tired."

"Guys, please don't fight." And they ignore her. Wants to get up and leave, but too anxious to move.

Levi, you just made her more worried.

Deeply sighs. "Really, guys?"

"Well, this isn't a comedy, Simeon. So, take this seriously." There's a slight green in her blue eyes.

These guys are acting like children.

(Ooh! Simeon saying "understand?" then Lucifer getting surprised. It reminded him when Milady said that to him. That fits so perfectly!)

"ENOUGH!"

"Shush, they may hear you," says with a smile.

Now we just to work on the rest of them.

"Does it matter if I did?"

Because Milady knows what the brothers' feelings are towards her, she will decline their invitation to the dance to have no misunderstanding and/or fights. She would dance with them at the party, but won't show up with them.

"By being center stage?" Tired eyes.

"He's not, you're just being an narcissist."

"! Katie, you're so cruel."

"I'm tired, so my positive mood is gone at the moment."

"... If Satan and I make up, you will go back to your normal self, right?"

"Most likely."

"Then maybe I should be the one to take the initiative..."

"Where did the cat come from?"

"I didn't do anything."

Feels a headache coming on.

"Guys, can you two calm down?"

(I believe her eyes are teal tinted before and during the retreat)

"Of course I am."

"What's going on?"

"I don't really care."

Chases after Beel while calling his name, trying to get close enough to use the pact, but couldn't. (HC Lucifer subconsciously has an arm around Luke's shoulders protectively.)

"Beel doesn't know how to control himself," says annoyingly.

Starts tearing up at the human world phone being destroyed and everything in her bedroom ruined.

(Can't you just wait for them to dry? Also, Milady's going make you buy her a new phone)

"I'm getting sick of this."

"He probably just needed Solomon for something specific that only he knows to deal with, whatever it is."

"Oh? Are you worried about him?"

"You two know each other well."

"Yeah, Mammon is a father. I found out when we went to the carnival."

Chuckles at the brothers teasing Mammon.

"It was no problem, Simeon."

"Luke, what's wrong?"

"Aw, my boy." Pats Luke's head.

"No one, actually. I decided to go alone."

(For my prom, I danced with my friend and a few girls joined in and we all were in circle at the end of the dance floor swinging their arms. If I asked all of the brothers, that's what would happen, or we start doing the macarena or a conga line.)

"But that doesn't mean it isn't hard to pass."

"I guess."

"Your welcome."

"No... Why?"

"I remember Solomon talking about muscle pain after putting demons under his control."

"About the muscle pain."

Groans.

But I don't care about controlling them though.

(Why is Lucifer in his casual clothes and not his uniform?)

Yeah, have the wrathful one tutor me, totally going to end well.

Makes a noise in her throat in the form of a laugh.

... I don't think your words are a lie, aren't them?

"... Meow?" (You too easy)

"Probably not."

Milady gets to unlock her flirt mode. Rip Levi.

"He's going to stab you."

"The fuck was that?"

"You should have told me what the curse was before making me say it. Of course I failed, you dingus."

"I'm still annoyed, and uncomfortable."

"Sorry about that. But to be honest, if he didn't kicked you, I would have."

She didn't remember the incantation.

"Yes."

"I'm stressed out."

"Beel, no." Then he snatches it out of her hand.

"This is weird, like a lot."

"Beel, come here." Has his head in her lap and pets him to allow Satan to find a solution.

She's going to bed.

Does not give Lucifer the cat potion, she's already scared of him and doesn't want to see his wrath.

Jumps slightly at something touching her head. Also, But I didn't do anything to cause that.

Damn, Asmo. "No, now do your work."

"Work." Goes back to playing on her phone.

"I'm choosing someone I don't know." Sticks out tongue teasingly at them.

"Aw, Luke." They have a small talk instead of plot like the game.

Brings a hand up to cover Mammon's mouth.

Goes looking for someone else to sprite the brothers.

"Thanks for your helping."

"Like what?" Concern for the request.

(You know Lucy will always choose his family.)

"? What's wrong?"

Sits down next to Lucifer and leans against him in a comforting way.

Asmo has everyone play Truth or Drink for family game night, and Milady unfortunately has to drink. It is going well when Asmo asks her, "which one of us are you scared of?" He thought it was a harmless question until he saw her hurt expression and took a shot.

For the whole week, the brothers were constantly worrying about if she was sacred of them or not, asking her for the truth in private. She flat out told them she wasn't scared of them, except for Belphie, she danced around the question by telling him to not worry about it.

One night, Lucifer asks her to meet him in his office to discuss something. When she turns to leave, "before you go, you could answer a question. Are you scared of me?" She freezes and says nothing. "You are, aren't you?" She walks out of the room.

He didn't like that. He falls back into his chair and finishes his glass before throwing it against the wall and letting out a frustrated growl. She was in front of the library doors when she heard the sound in his office.

The brothers start talking about what she said to them when they were chilling in the common room. Belphie points out what she told him and they all grow quiet. She walks in and they all greet her, except Belphie, he realizes she's scared of him.

"Please tell me the game wouldn't cause us trouble."

"What do you need?"

"How exactly can I help?"

Stares unimpressed at Satan.

"What about spending a day with me if you do it?"

Nods.

"Diamond, let's just go. Your brothers aren't appreciating you, so there's no point to stay."

"Kate, why are you leaving? You're suppose to be helping me." -Asmo

"If you three are going insult your brother, then why should I stay? And don't say you love me or that you're beautiful."

"And you're very much appreciated."

Shrugs.

"You known him for a long, can you tell me anything that help me understand him better?"

"Nothing in particular."

"I'm not actually surprised that you designed a few things."

"I mean, that's how siblings are."

"Why did Lord Diavolo withdraw?"

"Even though you got second place last year."

"I'll do my best."

[undertaleandyou]

This time the ask is just for Lust! 1: Does his 'no kiss' rule go for the forehead and cheeks too, or just for the mouth? And this next one is most likely going to hurt my heart, but luckily I don't plan on making it happen in a fic or comic or anything, but still 💔 2: What if his partner (who's been getting close, but not in his kiss zone) kissed him because they forgot about the no kiss rule?! I think I am prepared for heart break.... I think ಥ_ಥ

Lust: Finally, some focus on the real star here.(He’s slightly kidding ~ Mod Goblin)

Firstly, his “no kiss” rule is just on the mouth, but kisses on the cheek or forehead are pushing it a little. If he likes you, he’ll let it slide. If he doesn’t, someone’s getting punched.Now, for your second question..... :3c

They’ve been a regular for some time. Usually, Lust wouldn’t have known regulars, but he’s been pretty okay with this one so far. Though tonight, he wasn’t expecting for his one rule to be broken.This regular has been pretty good with respecting his “no kiss” rule, though they can be pretty affectionate sometimes, though. Lust has had a few hookups that are like that and they’ve been really sweet so far, so he lets it slide for now.Things were getting heated, just as he was expecting. Though something felt... Different. He couldn’t quite explain, but he just knew something was different. How tender the touches were. How delicate they were treating him...

“I’m not a delicate flower, you know.” He chuckled. It wasn’t that he didn’t like it, but it was different than what he was used to with them. So the two of them continued. Their touches becoming more needy, Lust grabbing whatever he could to bring them closer. The air was filled with pleasant sighs and gentle gasps. Suddenly, Lust felt something press against his mouth and froze. It took a moment to register before he pushed them off firmly.

“What do you think you’re doing?” He snapped, jabbing his boney finger into their chest.

“I-I’m sorry! I just got too into the moment!”

“You know I have that rule for a reason, don’t you? You know I don’t do this sort of shit!”

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” They just kept apologizing. Lust sighed and rubbed the temples of his skull.

“Look, whatever. Do you have any liquor? I need a drink.”

The silence was ringing in his non-existent ears. The air is tense, even after a couple of glasses of vodka. He still kept replaying the moment again and again in his head. He wish he could forget it... He actually liked this regular.... And they had to go and mess it up. “Y’know I have that rule, right?” He asks, pouring another glass. “People think they have a relationship with me, just cuz I kissed them. I ain’t ready to settle down with someone yet, y’know...? Then they get all mad, even though they knew. They thought they could change me cuz they love me. Look around ya. Ya see any room for love here?” He paused, downing another glass of vodka.“Well I just thought-” Lust raised a finger, silencing them.“Look. I like you, okay? You’re sweet, but I can’t have you kissin’ me like that. Don’t think for a second you can change me just with that ‘power of love’ bullshit, got it? I change for me and no one else.”
