Wait lol tis I again for the third time sorry
Can I request a continuation of the drunk truths: Mammon reacting to MC (not that they weren't already) being noticeably soft and loving on him after his confession
Answering this real quick since new Mammon soon <3
It was that night, the grand palace full with the citizens of Tartaros drinking, laughing and carrying on...did the King who has everything at his fingertips confess his deepest worries to MC. It was so sudden, out of the blue as they sat at the table nursing their drink when he said "If you wanted to throw me away because I lost value, I'd change myself so you'd cherish me again."
MC sat for a moment to process what he meant. The longing in his eyes, the somber tone of his usual jubilant voice. Had they done something to make him feel this way? Maybe they mentioned a phrase or an expression that confused him. Either way they never wanted Mammon to feel worthless. Never.
From then on, MC did their best to check up on Mammon every day. Bring him coffee or tea when working long hours. Help prepare meals and snacks even though he had cooks for that. Help with various chores or even take a class or two of accounting from Bimet in order to help Mammon balance some expenses and savings of all his gold.
Even when it came to intimacy, MC would shower him with words of praise or reassurance. More creative pet names tailored just for him. More cuddling in silence rather than the frequent sex (though that was still included since Mammon couldn't hold himself back from all the affection).
He noticed it all. A strange feeling of his heart skipping a beat as he observed MC's drive and determination to make sure he was loved. He couldn't stop his emotions from swelling, something he wasn't used to even when he was just a child devil. With his cup running over, he tries his best to give back the affection. For once he doesn't just buy MC what they want, he spends more time with them. He pauses his duties or asks Bimet to handle them while he pampers MC to the fullest. Spa days, a quiet lunch, even a mid day nap date in his bedroom with the curtains drawn.
He doesn't question why they're doing this, as he is fully aware of what he said when he was drunk that one night. He said it so freely he imagined it would do nothing but chase them off. But they stayed, they put in more effort than they already put in. And with this he knew...MC would never dispose of him, no matter how he felt about himself on his bad days of self doubt.
MC's love was better than any currency he could obtain.
