How are we doing, chat? 🙃

do you believe Paul when he said John was making a weird light during the filming of the anthology?

Like. Are you asking if I believe the ghost of John Lennon is haunting Paul McCartney, but not in any scary way, just doing weird mischievous things like make a blue light come on while Paul is trying to film interviews?

If that’s what you’re asking, then yes, I do believe that

Exam Prep, Part One

Barbatos

"Your professor has informed me that lately you have been struggling with the lab portion of your seductive speechcraft class," I calmly tell MC, who sighs.

"I can block advances just fine, but actually trying to seduce someone is proving to be quite difficult," they explain. "I don't feel like I'm sounding genuine, if that makes sense. I mean, I never had that much luck with it in the human world, and it seems like I've not had to work super hard here, which still baffles me, but that's a topic for another day." Interesting. I didn't realize they were that introspective. Most humans aren't.

"If it's any consolation, you're doing better than some other demons."

"Like Levi?" I allow myself to smirk, amused by their observation.

"Exactly. Leviathan either can't bring himself to seduce anyone at all, or he pulls from existing media and provides out-of-context lines that don't fit the person he's talking to. From what I've heard, you at least are trying to be original. We--your professor and I--just think that there's room for improvement."

"Of course."

"So, for today's session, I want you to try to seduce me." Of course, that's the moment Diavolo decides to walk past the room MC and I are in. My back may be turned to him, but I can still sense his energy.

You may watch, but do not disturb us.

Understood.

"What?" MC asks, appearing both confused and terrified.

"I am one of the oldest and most powerful demons in the Devildom. If you can manage to produce some sort of effect on me, then you'll pass your exam with flying colors."

"But I don't know that much about you."

"A demon never has a lot of information on a particular human when they first encounter one, but they can use past experiences and context clues in order to be successful."

"I see." In order to ease their nerves, I kindly smile at them.

"Just try the best you can." MC closes their eyes and begins one of the breathing exercises that I taught them.

Why are you doing this? Diavolo just can't resist the urge, can he?

Their power is heavily tied to their emotions.

That isn't what I'm talking about, Barbatos.

Would you rather I have them seduce you, Young Master? Silence. Excellent.

MC opens their eyes, and immediately something seems different about them.

"You do so much for Lord Diavolo, the brothers, and the Devildom at large," they state. "Any other person would have gone insane from the sheer amount of responsibility, and yet you stand here before me with a cool, calm demeanor."

"Practice," I respond.

"You have most people fooled into believing that this life is easy for you, but not me. I know that you work a thankless job that forces you to put everyone before yourself." They're glowing, which isn't entirely unusual for them, but the color's different this time. It's not completely white like it normally is.

"Deep down, you want someone to take care of you. You have been forced to hold yourself up for so long, and you are utterly exhausted. You feel completely alone, like there's not a single soul in the entire universe that would want to take the time to get to know who you truly are." As they step closer to me, I can see spots of pink mixed in with their white light. I don't know how, but I think they've managed to tap into a portion of Asmodeus's power.

"I want to help you, not because I want anything in return, but because I care deeply about you. You deserve to have someone love you unconditionally." MC gently grabs my hand and leans closer to me. "All I ask of you is to let me in. Allow me to grow closer to you, Barbatos."

One might expect MC to take the opportunity to kiss me, but instead they remain still, staring into my eyes. My heart begins beating faster, and I find it harder to focus on my surroundings. In this moment, I finally understand why everyone seems so enamored with MC. I don't even have a pact with them, and yet my mind is begging them to give me an order to follow.

As MC steps back, the glow emanating from them begins dissipating. They're returning to normal.

Why can't I?

"Barbatos? Are you alright?" Shit. I'm on duty. They're not supposed to see me in this condition.

"You'll do just fine, MC." My voice sounds hoarse, and I have no idea why.

Someone's caught feelings.

I would appreciate it if you didn't tease me, Young Master.

But I'm not wrong.

That is irrelevant.

Jared and Cameron conversation be like

[catless-and-covenless]

Cr was home waiting for me! Which was really nice. It’s felt like half a decade since he’s been home waiting for me. And with his new changes he’s not quite as bony so it felt nice laying in his lap and trying to smother myself out of being a gooey mess.

But after the past few days…it felt nice to be a mess for once. To be all melted and soft and no hard edges. And…start dissecting things. I don’t think…it was exactly the action. It was more so…the follow through. “I would do almost anything you ask.” And it was true. I’m just really lucky to be around such truthful boys. And he sent a heart after I got home safe.

I want to know what everything means but I don’t want to ask. I know it’s stupid. I know I can just ask. I know it’s normal after a good date to send a heart. But does that technically mean we’rre dating? Or was it just a date? I mean I said there would be another one and he didn’t deny it? Why is this so multi-step? I wish I was like Cr or Ca who just jumped. Who saw what they wanted and just grabbed it. But I don’t know if he knows about N yet. Or if that’s a conversation that I bring up or N does? Or G does? Who starts that talk? Am I overstepping by not? Or am I a bad friend because I didn’t bring it up?

And Ca listened to me about the day! I think? I’m pretty sure. It’s so nice having her in my car or pocket. Like a pokemon. A carry around friend. And I’m pretty sure she agreed to grill G for me? I can’t speak car signals but I think that was an agreement.

But I completely understand Cr. Especially after what he’s been through. His privacy is even more important to him now. And he was in my house for three months. And we value privacy more than most.

We warded everything. And made sure it was safe and protected. But also saw some numbers? Patterns and numbers and things a little out of my scope. So I’m going to research but I may have to invite the MBoM over to my apartment later….or the woods if we need to include some someone else.

I just want her to behave. I don’t want-

I don’t know what I want but I know I don’t want a bad mess.

Maybe that’s also why I’ve been avoiding whatever Cr wants to say about N. If it’s important N will tell me himself. I just don’t want to..if it’s bad I don’t want to know. And he is so sweet. So kind and nervous. And funny. It’s so nice to be wanted for me and not for anything else. It’s nice knowing there’s a boy out there that likes me for me besides Cr. And it felt really nice to teach. It has started to feel less painful, less bad, less taboo to do it with someone.

I may need to find some of my older books just to hand them off to him. I am glad he’s doing research. That’s good. That means I have a good student who has a good head on his shoulders. And he’s aware of the risks. I may be able to hand him another hex soon. But I want to keep it minimal for right now. Make sure he’s not too tempted to go around and hurt people by accident. I never want him to feel the way I did. To put him in that position.

He will have a good craft. I will make sure of it. He’s my apprentice. Which means it’s my duty to make sure he’s safe and prepared. To watch and help him grow like a sunflower. And after what he mentioned of the bruises. I have more than a good idea of what I’m giving him next. And I need to figure out if he’s close to his roots. Where his lineage is from. It will be stronger than my roots.

A lot on my to-do lists for my favorite apprentice.

Who is also my teacher? I know I was hyper focused on making sure he didn’t think I was a bad student. I did much better at fighting dirty techniques than the regular moves. There’s so much more to think through than I thought. But I guess it is like dancing? Anticipating and moving and knowing the steps. Once I get the steps down I should be good, right? To follow the rhythms.

I don’t want to be a burden again. I don’t want anyone to feel like I will slow them down. I want to hold my own. And I will be so happy forever and grateful that N is trying to give me those tools. Now just to make sure I don’t freeze up when I need to use them.

Although I am a little confused. I thought Cr had something making him nervous about N but I saw the way he hugged N. I don’t understand how he could want to maybe make a move on someone he’s so hesitant about. But then again maybe that’s just something wrong with me. But I was happy. That means whatever it is isn’t too big. And I like my boys being happy and around each other. And maybe selfishly it means that N won’t be a good/best friend to Cr but fwb? Although it would add another string to this web of talks we need to have with G and N?

I definitely need to take headache medicine. I’m overthinking things.

Now just to gather all my courage and ask Mami about the Br’s and tell her about G and that I went on a date.

This may be my last post.
