A hc request where MC is talking to the brothers and see that their eyes are dilated really big (when humans see something they love their pupils dilate rlly big) I would want to see how the brother would react to MC calling them out about lol thanks <3

So I messed up this prompt a little bit! So instead of MC getting called out for having dialted eyes, it’s the brothers calling MC out. Followed by a smaller bit about MC seeing the boys with wide eyes. 

Sorry!! But I didn’t want to delete the thing!!!

Lucifer:

Why is MC looking at him like that? He can’t tell if MC’s eyes were always so round but it’s a bit...off-putting

He can’t remember so he doesn’t bother thinking much of it until he spots them in the halls. They’re eyes are different, the pupils smaller, and he calls them over with some vague word about student council work

MC comes up and within the few seconds it takes for them to stand in front of him he’s sure that they’re pupils have changed. 

He swears if anyone put some kind of spell on MC he was going to find out who and when he does-

MC asks what’s wrong and Lucifer frustratedly asks them why they haven’t mentioned this eye problem before

Eye problem? What eye problem?

Cue MC going red as a beet when Lucifer says they’re pupils go wide when they’re around him.

Demands to know what’s wrong

His pride puffs up when MC tells him it’s a thing humans do when they see something attractive 

BONUS:

MC is helping Lucifer with his paperwork and Lucifer keeps looking up at them from time to time because looking away from all the forms gives his eyes a chance to rest and if there’s anything he wants to look at after all the jargon it’s MC’s face

Their eyes meet one time and MC cocks their head before their brows raise

Asks Lucifer what he’s looking at to make him so excited and, being clueless, tells them that he’s looking at them

Cue MC going even redder

Mammon:

MC’s eyes have always been wide around him - as they should! He’s the Great Mammon and all attention should be on him!

He thinks it’s just how MC looks, until he’s working on a group project with them and some other demons from their classes

He can’t stop taking little peeks at MC and one time he does he sees them looking at the other demons and their eyes have changed

It honestly freaks him out a little bit! He didn’t know they could change!

His panic catches their attention and as they turn their head Mammon watches their pupils widen and that freaks him out even more!

The assignment they’re all working on gets turned into a human biology lesson as MC explains that their pupils dilate when they see something they love

Mammon’s mouth is open, face red, a little sweaty as MC talks

MC loves him???? All this time??

He loved their eyes before but knowing now why they’re so wide makes him love them even more!!!

BONUS:

It’s the same vice versa - MC thought Mammon’s eyes were always big and round, which is a shame really because they love the little golden flecks in his eyes

He’s distracted one time and MC goes in for a closer look and when Mammon finally notices them his face goes red and his pupils go wide

MC’s eyes widen too and offhandedly asks if Mammon likes what he sees

Mammon goes even redder, if that’s possible

Leviathan:

His eyes are always blown wide because he’s always sitting in the dark of his room

Thinks the same thing is happening for MC whenever he invites them over for games or anime and doesn’t think much more of it

But one of the few times that he comes out of his room to play games with his brothers and MC is there and something looks....different. 

It’s bothering him to no end the entire time and he keeps making little mistakes in his games that eventually cause him to lose 

He blames MC for it and his brothers start to defend them until MC asks what’s wrong

And there it is - the big wide eyes! 

It’s almost a relief to finally figure out what was wrong and Levi can’t help but blurt out that that was what had been bothering him

Cue MC blushing so hard

Now everyone is asking to see their eyes and they have to hide their face

Tells Levi later that it means they saw something they like

It’s Levi’s turn to hide his face

BONUS:

MC honestly thinks that it’s some kind of health issue for Levi’s eyes to be so round

They’re red, too, and dry from all the screen time and from being so up close to it

He rejects their offer to help because Levi knows he likes them and doesn’t want them to find out, but MC is starting to figure it out

MC doesn’t want to embarrass him further so they don’t say anything but they are definitely reassured that Levi likes them since they like him back

Asmodeus: 

He knows. Oh he definitely knows

He doesn’t know if MC knows what they’re doing but he won’t tell them 

He kind likes the idea that MC enjoys looking at him so much and he switches up his looks - doing his hair a little different, wearing a new shirt, adding a different scent to his profile - to see what gets their eyes the widest the fastest 

And then one day there’s an argument about who MC likes the most - which happens often. So often to the point if gives Asmo a headache

Eventually he can’t take it anymore and tells them that obviously MC loves him the most. Their pupils are always so wide whenever he’s around! It’s the only proof he needs!

Everyone is confused and Asmo has to explain it to them

MC walks in a few minutes later and the confusion increases when all the brothers are suddenly rushing up to MC to see their eyes

BONUS:

MC is very surprised to see Asmo’s pupils go wide when they come down the stairs one morning

They’d never paid much attention - they know that as the Avatar of Lust that he has some standards and MC never thought they’d reach any of them

They can’t help but to stare...and stare....and stare

Asmo flings a casual flirt their way and MC has to wonder how much of it is just his usual talk and how much he actually means it

Satan:

Also knows what’s going on when he sees MC’s pupils go wide when their looking at him, and while he takes some pride in it, he’s not indulging in it as much as Asmo is

He actually takes a lot of comfort and relief in knowing that MC likes him so much that their attraction is nearly unconscious 

He’s not as fashionable as Asmo or as close to MC as Mammon but it gives him a confidence boost

He’s always asking MC if they want to read with him or go out to a cafe with him so he can revel in their eyes a little bit more

Satan hadn’t meant to tell them but it slipped out one day when he casually mentioned that he liked their eyes 

Stammers a bit through the explanation that their pupils are wide when they look at him and he knows that to mean they like him

Embarrassed MC can only nod but Satan only reassures them that they look just like a cat, which only embarrasses them further

BONUS:

Satan is always talking about how much he likes cats and MC thinks he might be one

He’s so willing to just lay by a window and quietly read, quiet and relaxed and content but always a moment from unsheathing his claws

The way his eyes go wide when he spots them only furthers the analogy and MC can’t help but laugh

Satan doesn’t mind being compared to a cat and also doesn’t mind that his affection for MC is displayed outwardly like this. Now everyone can know that he likes them

Beelzebub:

He thought it was some kind of human illness when he started noticing

Did it hurt? It looked uncomfortable for MC’s pupils to suddenly go so wide. He went to Satan who said that pupils react to light so Beel started keeping the lights a little brighter whenever he invited MC over for movies or helping him work out

It makes MC a little confused, too, and asks if Beel added new lights to his room

When Beel says it’s to help them see better since he was told it meant you had a hard time seeing, MC can’t speak for a minute

MC is touched that Beel was trying to help, amused that that’s what he thought was happening, and embarrassed that he was about to find out what was really going on

Their face gets redder when Beel puts a hand on their forehead asking if they were sick 

MC explains that, yes, human pupils do expand to take in more light when it’s dark, but it’s also an unconscious thing they do when they see something they like

Beel wonders what it is that they like - maybe all of Belphie’s blankets? They are very soft after all - before it clicks that it’s him 

BONUS:

It takes a while for MC to notice because Beel is just so...tall

They have to keep looking up at him and it’s hard to see his eyes unless he’s looking down at them

And usually when he does so it’s because he’s looking at what they’re cooking

It’s definitely not unusual for Beel’s eyes to be so focused on food, but what is, is when he turns those same focused, wide eyes onto MC

They nearly drop what they’re doing when they see his pupils blown open and they go even wider when he asks if they’re okay

Of course Beel likes MC, he says, when they ask him - they make him food without asking and never shame him for his eating habits, and they’re always patient with him!

Belphegor:

He’s pretty sure that human eyes get wide when it’s dark, and the attic is always dark when he and MC are in there since they’re always napping up there

As long as there’s enough light up there that MC doesn’t trip on their way to the bathroom and he has to get up to help then he doesn’t care

Doesn’t really seem too confused that they’re still wide when they’re eating in the brightly lit kitchens - maybe MC is just still sleepy

He invites them for another nap and it’s in that comfy sleepy state that he asks why their pupils are always so wide

Doesn’t it hurt or something to see like that?

MC is glad that it’s pretty dim in the attic so he can’t see them blushing. Tells them that it’s something like that

BONUS:

Belphegor finally finds out what the wide pupils mean when MC starts teasing him about it

He gets a little annoyed when they keep asking him if he likes them

Of course he does - MC is a great body pillow to cuddle into when he’s sleeping

But MC explains that human pupils go wide like that when they see something attractive

Belphie turns around immediately and asks what MC finds so attractive about him then and he won’t take ‘I don’t know’ for an answer!

Sebciel Drabble - Excerpt from “Circus” AU

So I was feeling really low this weekend and decided I’d try to write some fluff or PWP to cheer me up and ofc this came out instead, which is neither.

      It’s a slice from an AU I'm working on (tentatively titled Circus). It's likely to be a dark, complex story. In it, Joker runs an escort agency called Circus. Sebastian, now almost thirty, has been working for him as an escort and fixer for years and knows he’s going to probably have to retire from the former soon. Ciel is in his twenties and the two of them have been dating for some time by the present point of the story. Seb, Finny, and Ciel share an apartment. I don’t know the full details yet, but Finny and probably Ciel also work for Joker in some capacity, though Sebastian has insisted Ciel go to school (since that was always Ciel’s dream). Lau is the big antagonist of the story whom both Seb and Ciel have a personal vendetta against, though I don’t want to go into more detail as that’d be a big spoiler (and isn’t necessary for enjoying this little snippet).

      This scene is basically just Sebastian and Ciel talking over dinner. There's some heat and nudity, but no sex, sorry.

      I thought about putting this on AO3, but honestly I have no idea if this scene will make it into the final story since it's still in the early stages. But this is probably relatively early in, probably within the first few chapters.

      Anyway, enjoy, and if you liked it (and want me to post more of my in-progress stuff on here) please let me know by liking/commenting/reblogging!

_____________

      “Seb? I’m home,” Ciel called as he entered the apartment.

      “In the kitchen.”

      Ciel followed the delicious aroma, dumping his bag on the couch before wandering over to his boyfriend.

      Sebastian stood at the stove, using cooking chopsticks to stir something sizzling away in a wok. He had borrowed some of Finny’s bobby-pins to keep his long bangs out of his eyes while he cooked, and they shone when he moved and caught the light just right, the colored metal standing out sharply amidst his ink black hair. He was dressed in old, faded, low-hanging jeans that were fitted but from before the skinny fad, with holes everywhere, including a large one that started at the bottom of his right back pocket and expanded across his lower butt, revealing a muscled, pale cheek. Unsurprisingly, Sebastian was going commando. He was bare from the waist up except for an apron (hot oil on bare nipples was a lesson he’d learned the hard way).

      Ciel took a moment to appreciate the line of his boyfriend’s back, the shift and slide of skin and muscles in his shoulders as he moved, the hint of his tattoo peaking above the waistband of his jeans. A stereotypical pronged devil’s tail along his tailbone that curled down and over his currently covered left ass cheek. He took his persona seriously. Sometimes too seriously. “Whatcha cooking?”

      Seb paused to lean over and press a kiss to Ciel’s head when he grew closer. “‘Use up all the leftovers in the fridge’ fried rice.”

      Ciel snagged a carrot from the cutting board and popped it in his mouth, humming appreciatively. Sebastian knew what it was like to starve, and so he was ruthless in making sure they had almost no food waste. More impressive than that was how delicious his meals could be, no matter the ingredients. Sebastian was such a talented cook, Ciel had tried to convince him more than once to enroll in culinary school with no success. As confident and domineering as Sebastian could seem, the truth was he didn’t see himself as worth much more than being a whore and a thug.

      “How was class?”

      Ciel gathered the cutlery and bowls as Sebastian added the finishing touches to the rice. “Eh. We have to write a business plan.”

      Sebastian accepted the bowls, one at a time, filling them with fried rice.

      “Finny isn’t eating with us?”

      Sebastian shook his head. He’s training with Bard, and then he has clients so he said not to worry about him; they’d grab something.”

      Ciel nodded absently and followed his boyfriend to their small table, where they both began to dig in. “Awesome as always,” Ciel said with a grin as he gathered some more spoonfuls.

      Sebastian smiled fondly and picked at his own meal.

      That didn’t escape Ciel’s notice, but he said nothing. “Anyway, I was thinking of doing this idea I’ve had for awhile, but it’s probably stupid.”

      “You’re brilliant, so I doubt that,” Sebastian assured Ciel, his unusual mahogany eyes showing nothing but pure sincerity. Ciel had fallen in love with Sebastian years before they’d acknowledged it partly because of the taller man’s sometimes brutal honesty. He could be duplicitous and a flatterer while in his Luci persona, but Sebastian himself preferred to lay everything out on the table.

      Ciel blushed and took a bite of food to give him time to stall and figure out how to formulate what he wanted to say. “I want to start a toy company that makes toys designed for sick kids. Stuff that’s easy to disinfect and resistant to allergens, that’s compact so they’re easy to bring to a doctor’s appointment or when in the hospital. Stuff that will help comfort and distract kids who are in pain or not feeling well.” Ciel blushed again and ducked his head.

      The slate-haired man felt fingers cradle his chin and direct it back up so that he was looking at Sebastian, who was leaning in almost too-close as he was overly fond of doing. “That’s a wonderful idea. I would probably start a knife company or a sex toy company.”

      “Or something to do with cats,” Ciel grumbled good naturedly.

      Sebastian chuckled. “Maybe a whole line of cat-themed dildos and butt plugs.”

      “You and cats and your oversexed brain. No one wants to think of their cat when they’re masturbating.”

      Sebastian shrugged with a playful smile. Then he leaned nearer and planted a chaste kiss on Ciel’s lips, but it soon turned heated when the smaller man stuck his tongue out to taste Sebastian’s own lips, soy sauce and ginger making Ciel’s mouth water.

      Ciel didn’t have much to compare him to, but in his mind Sebastian had to be the world’s most fantastic kisser. He’d never truly given it a chance, but he was almost certain that—especially if he were backed up—he could come just from kissing.

      Sebastian held Ciel’s face in a way that was both possessive and tender, nibbling on Ciel’s tongue in a way that went straight to the smaller man’s cock.

      Ciel leaned into the kiss, chasing Sebastian, who always seemed to escape to continue dominating the kiss. Typical, but still frustrating. Knowing how to distract him, the smaller man splayed his hands on the larger’s chest, scraping a fingernail along Sebastian’s bare nipple.

      Sebastian growled, but instead of escalating or allowing Ciel to control the kiss, he pulled back, his blown pupils, erect nipples and half chubby tenting his pants the only indication they’d made out at all. His look was distant, and his breathing even when he said, “We should finish eating.”

      Ciel nodded absently, reaching down to readjust his own hard-on so he could sit more comfortably, and picked up his spoon again. “You all right?”

      Sebastian smiled, but it was forced and fake and it pissed Ciel off. “Fine.”

      The slate-haired man grunted. “You know, you could still go. To school.”

      Sebastian scoffed as he stabbed a piece of chicken with a chopstick, fisted in one hand like a knife. “It’s too late for me.”

      “You always say that. But it’s not. There are people in their thirties and forties in my classes.”

      Sebastian looked away, intently focused on his food, although he was mostly stirring the rice around without eating it. “Ciel, I’m not like you. I was born into this life. I don’t belong in the light.”

      “Seb—”

      “What I did to you and Finny, that’s technically kidnapping, you know.”

      “That was years ago. And you didn’t kidnap us, you rescued us!”

      Sebastian sighed and set his chopsticks down, clearly having lost whatever little appetite he had. “Not in the eyes of the law. You don’t know what I’ve done. What I do for Joker. I’m not a good person.”

      Ciel sputtered, trying to argue, but Sebastian talked over him.

      “I have a fifth-grade education.”

      “Only officially. But you’re smart and you’ve taught yourself a lot. I bet if you tried you could get your GED—”

      “Enough,” Sebastian snarled, eyes flashing. Ciel didn’t see him angry often, but he could be truly terrifying when he was; it was almost as if his irises glowed red.

      “Tell me what’s wrong,” the younger man demanded, indicating Sebastian’s bowl with his spoon. The taller man had often insisted Ciel and Finny clear their plates, reminding them they never knew when that meal needed to last them for days. Sebastian always ate, even if he didn’t seem to be hungry.

      For a moment, when their eyes met, Ciel thought Sebastian was going to come clean. But instead, he just shook his head and pushed to his feet. “I’m going for a run. I’ll eat something after.”

      Ciel jumped up and rushed to meet him on the way to their bedroom. “Don’t do this. Come on.”

      Sebastian ignored his boyfriend and unbuttoned his jeans, kicking them off as he pulled on a cutoff shirt. “I just need to clear my head. I told you I’m fine.”

      Ciel forced his way between Sebastian and the dresser, not letting the man’s washboard stomach, toned thighs or long, thick cock distract him from his purpose. “I know I’m not the only one with nightmares. I know that you can’t sleep more often than not. I know you stand out on the balcony for hours with that lighter and pack of cigarettes you keep in the top shelf of the closet, thinking about lighting up.” The taller man had quit not long after bringing Finny and Ciel home, after the doctors explained cigarette smoke was triggering to Ciel’s lungs. The smaller man looked up, trying to meet his boyfriend’s eyes, but Sebastian had shut them. “You’re not a robot, Seb. You can talk to me. I’m not a child anymore. You don’t need to protect me.”

      Sebastian sighed heavily. He pulled the pins from his hair and shook out his bangs, carding his fingers through the strands to rearrange them. He darted a hand around Ciel and managed to yank open a drawer enough to grab a pair of shorts. He slipped them on before Ciel could complain. He stood for a long moment, hands on his hips, bare stomach expanding and relaxing with each breath.

      Ciel held his ground, shifting to stand between Sebastian and the door as a wordless way to indicate he wasn’t letting his boyfriend go without a fight. The smaller man folded his arms on his chest and cocked his hip, daring Sebastian to keep this up.

      “I swear to Satan you’re even more headstrong than me.” He crossed and enveloped Ciel in his arms, cradling the small man to his larger frame as if worried he would disappear. He bent his head until his nose brushed Ciel’s hair. “I’m sorry,” he whispered almost inaudibly.

      Sebastian didn’t apologize often; it surprised Ciel enough to pull back to try to search the taller man’s face for some clue as to why he was suddenly giving in. It was an expression so complex, no matter how many years they’d known each other, Ciel wasn’t sure he could pry out exactly what his boyfriend was thinking.

      “Lau,” Sebastian whispered, his voice hoarse.

      “What?” Ciel didn’t understand.

      “Lau’s back,” Sebastian repeated, louder, angrier. His fists tightened. “And he’s trafficking kids again.”
