Multiple characters

It was midway through the winter season, and a perfect time to enjoy some ice skating with your partner. You and Pollux had planned a day out where the two of you had no guide committee responsibilities and both of you were very excited the days leading up to it.

The day final came and both of you were tying up your skates, ready to get on the ice. The two of you were wobbly at first but after a few minutes got the hang of things and were able to confidently skate side by side holding hands.

It was a nice time and after quite a while of gliding around together Pollux wanted to show off. He lets go of your hand and starts speeding around, this didn’t last due to him losing his balance and slamming down onto the ice and his initial speed causing him to slide straight into the sides of the rink which caused a Pollux sized hole in the wall.

You rush over to him. He’s knocked out cold, you call for help and pretty quickly are able to get him to Contell’s infirmary. 

It was Friday, and the final guide committee meeting of the week was wrapping up with Spica trying to get everyone's attention to say his final words before sending them off on their weekends.

Usually, the task is relatively easy but given the fact he’s been cutting down even more on sleep than usual this lack of energy makes him unable to properly scold the other guide committee members. With Arcturus’s help, Spica is finally able to finish the meeting, and they all finally part ways.

Spica starts feeling light-headed due to his sleep deprivation while he’s heading out and for the first time in forever considered taking a nap he just had to push through for the short while it will take to get to his room. The task seemed easy enough for him but once he got to the stairs his body couldn’t take it anymore and after taking the first step he was no longer able to keep himself upright and was sent tumbling down the stairs.

A whole 500,104,349-step staircase ended up giving him a cartoonish bump on his forehead with a loud cartoon bonk sound effect as he hit each step. When he reaches the end of the staircase he's left lying on the floor with a ring with stars spinning around his head in cartoon fashion. 

Sirius just so happened to be taking the same set of stairs and when he comes across Spica writhing in pain all he can do is giggle.

It's the day of Lucifer’s birthday and you've got everything ready to set up but we're waiting for the right time to finish the preparations. One of the gifts you planned to surprise him with on his birthday was a cozy homemade dinner together. The best place to do this was his office, the other brothers love to barge into your room whenever they wanted and there was a nice fireplace that lit up the room to create a cozy atmosphere. The only problem with setting up there is getting Lucifer out of there for long enough not to ruin the surprise.  

It was a problem until, 

“Mc, I’ve got something to take care of. I’ll be back by dinner so don’t worry.”

“Oh, ok! Have fun, Luci!” You had just been given your solution and in a couple of minutes, just after Lucifer had left you got right to work. 

A table and a few chairs were placed in the centre of his office. On top of the table was a red tablecloth, wine glasses to pour the demonus you bought, and plates to serve up the food you needed to finish cooking. It was around the time Lucifer said he would be back at home when you were placing the finished meal on the table. 

After a moment of checking to make sure everything is perfect, you pull out your phone to send a text asking when he’ll be home but seconds after you open your phone he beats you to it and sends a message telling you he just got back and that he wanted you to see him in the foyer. 

He doesn't usually do this but it's possible he just wanted for you to greet him at the door. This sets back the plan of him walking in on the surprise but it's still fine the plan just has to be adjusted.

You make your way to the front door to greet Lucifer, who is still taking his shoes off. 

“Ah, hello love. I’m sorry I had to leave you today.” He walks up to give you a kiss on the cheek and begins guiding you towards the backyard.

“Oh! Lucifer, what are you doing? I was planning on-” “Don’t worry darling. I’ve prepared a surprise for you.”

“Huh? Oh.” It should have been expected that he would also plan something for you today, it was both yours and his birthday today but since he didn’t mention any dinner plans you thought you would be able to do something special. Lucifer continues to pull you out the door, outside there are candles that light up the table set in the centre of the garden. Your favourite meal is sitting at the table along with a vase filled with your favourite flowers. 

“Oh, Lucifer!” You’re almost a little jealous that he got the idea to set your dinner outdoors, maybe it’s just because you’re the one on the receiving end but the atmosphere feels more romantic than what you set up in Lucifer's office.

“I hope you like it honey…are you alright? You seem a bit off.” 

You didn’t think he would be able to notice the difference, while you are happy you’re unsure of how to tell Lucifer about your own plans, and that must have shown on your face. “Yeah, it’s fine but I also planned a dinner for us in your office that I was going to surprise you with.” 

He starts laughing a little before going to his suggestion for a solution, “How about you bring what you made out here and we can just share the meal? But I’d like to see what you set up for me in full first, just to let it not go to waste.” 

With that the nervousness left your body, yeah it's not what you planned but your dinner didn’t go to waste. Lucifer puts his hand out towards you offering for you to lead him. You giggle at the offer and take his hand, guiding him back to his office. 

You push open the doors and step aside to let Lucifer enter ahead of you. “Thank you, Darling. I hope you’re not disappointed with the interruption of your plans. I’m always excited to eat your cooking and I can’t imagine how difficult it was for you to get this demonus.” With a heartfelt look on his face, he leans in to kiss you, the kiss conveys an affection left unsaid by Lucifer. After a moment he separates from your lips to lean closer to your ear and whispers “I’m so lucky to have you, my love. Thank you.”

“Love you too, Lucifer. Want to take this food outside before it gets cold.”

“Of course” and with that, he helps you carry the demonus and plates back outside.

Once that little miscommunication is fully dealt with Lucifer and you can finally enjoy the rest of your night together. Eating and chatting about anything that comes to mind until the candles lighting up the table start to burn out, that’s when you both decide to start cleaning up.

The surprises didn’t end there, you both still had one more gift to give. When Lucifer opened the record you got him he had a subtle pleased smile on his face, with how long you’ve known Lucifer you understood that at that moment he appreciated your gift and presence in his life.

Lucifer's gift was just as thoughtful as you expected, something you have been wanting and only briefly mentioned out loud a couple of times. He pulls you into a kiss as passionately as before, “I’m so glad we met, my love.” 

“I feel the same way, Luci.”

The night ends with you cuddled in his arms, eyelids growing heavier each second while gazing into each other's eyes until you both drift off to sleep.

They stayed relatively quiet until Alpheratz left to go order for the both of you and then they started laughing and insulting you like they thought you wouldn't be able to hear them. People at Contell knew you were blind, with being a new student able to summon without an imprint, any information people could find was spread throughout Contell quickly so it was a very well-known fact even to those who haven’t met you yet. The jokes seemed to be centered around your blindness. 

“They can’t see, they're all defenseless now that Alpheratz isn't with them. I don't know why they even hang out with someone who's not even a sorcerer and is blind. They probably have to take care of them all the time.” They all laughed like hyenas. Although you wanted to do something about them, for the sake of the cafe employees and the few other customers you held your tongue. After a while of keeping quiet Alpheratz came back, they didn’t notice him right away so he could hear what they were saying before they shut their mouths again. 

“Mc, are they bothering you?”

“Don’t worry about it let's just finish our drinks, alright,” Alpheratz can tell by the tone of your voice you’re upset and after putting the drinks you guys ordered down on the table walked over to the group. You could hear the nervous chatter coming from their table and Alpheratz's voice telling them to get outside. 

After a few minutes, he comes back, “Mc, don’t listen to what they say got it? They have no idea what they’re talking about. Next time someone treats you like that, don't hesitate to throw something at them. I’ll pay for any damages to the cafe and tip the employees a lot extra for having to deal with it so don’t worry.” 

“Alright. Thanks for dealing with them Alpheratz!” 

“No problem. But I wouldn’t say I’ve fully dealt with them yet. Wanna throw rocks at them with me for a bit before eating?”

Arcturus 

I think Arcturus shows his love with homemade gifts and words of affirmation. 

He believes handmade gifts are the most meaningful and likes to give them as a way of showing his dedication to you.

The most common type of these gifts are things he's knitted for you, usually socks and sweaters.

He also gives you compliments and encouragement as much as possible throughout the day.

He doesn’t care how small an accomplishment seems; he's always ready to tell you he's proud or that you did a great job.

He also likes receiving encouragement from you and makes sure to thank you with a big smile and a little kiss.

He can be very busy at times but always tries to use guide committee duties to spend time with you by asking for your assistance.

Other than your lips his favorite place to kiss you is your cheek or the tip of your nose.

Alpheratz 

Alpheratz shows his affection mainly through physical touch.

Throughout the day whenever he gets close enough, he leans against you, draping his body against yours (if you’re shorter than him or when you’re sitting down then he likes resting his chin on your head).

If you aren’t the biggest fan of this physical affection he tones it down to something you’re comfortable with.

He’s shown you all his napping spots, and when you’re not busy he asks you to nap with him.

If you do agree to join him then he pulls you in as close as possible into his chest and makes sure you’re comfortable before dozing off.

He likes giving you little kisses favorite places other than your lips are your nose and the top of your head.

Other than physical touch another one of his love languages is gift-giving.

He insists on fully paying for every date, only letting you pay if you beg him to let you pay.

Anything you express interest in buying is purchased by him immediately, no matter the cost.

Spica

Taking time out of his busy days to spend time with you.

Even when he has mountains of paperwork to complete he makes sure to spend a portion of his day on giving you the attention you deserve.

On a less busy day, he takes you on full dates.

On the busier days, he makes sure to be by your side giving you bits of physical touch and praise.

He's not the best at directly expressing his affection for you.

He prefers showing you through acts of service and gift-giving the most.

Helping you complete your assignments for Contell and giving you thought-out solutions to your personal problems.

He also gives you occasional gifts for no specific reason. Sometimes small like a snack he remembered you talking about, and sometimes a bigger gift like beautiful pieces of Jewelry. 

His favorite place to kiss you other than the lips is the back of your hand or the top of your head.

Sirius

Sirius’s preferred love languages are physical touch and quality time.

He constantly sneaks up right behind you to wrap his arms around you.

If you don’t like this he switches his greeting to something you both enjoy

He enjoys messing with you a lot.

Teases you about being interested in him even when you have been dating for a while.

Spends most of his free time around you, he likes to drape his body against you while he’s talking to you.

His favorite places to kiss you other than the lips are the top of your head and the back of your hand.

He’s in your room more than you are, he hangs out there like he owns the place and rushes to greet you at the door when you come back to your dorm.

Sirius is hesitant to be fully vulnerable with you and his cocky attitude is the best way he is able to show his love.

Vega

Vega’s favorite love languages are quality time and acts of service.

He feels the need to spend as much time together due to the fears he developed because of your pasts together.

Even if you’re interacting he wants to keep you by his side to ensure you’re protected.

Other than protecting you, he wants to make up for the time you two were separated.

His affection is mostly subtle and uses acts of service to show you how much he cares and is willing to help you.

Mostly favors like doing your laundry or running an errand, he wants to take on some of your tasks to minimize your stress.

He enjoys listening to your voice and encourages you to rant about anything on your mind for hours on end.

Always blushes and has a slight smile when you give him any kisses.

His favorite places to kiss you other than the lips are the back of your hand and forehead.

Pollux

I think Pollux prefers to show his love for you through quality time and physical touch.

He tries to spend as much of his day as possible around you.

You’ve heard from the others on numerous occasions that they’ve seen Pollux rushing around Contell asking anyone if they’ve seen you.

At first, people thought it was an emergency but after a while and after talking to you they realized he’s just being clingy.

Once he’s by your side it takes a lot for him to agree to leave your side. 

He really enjoys holding your hand, it makes him feel closer to you.

His favorite places to give you kisses other than your lips are your cheek or the tip of your nose.

He always tells you about his day and asks about yours making sure to show you he’s listening the whole time.

Rigel

I think Rigel’s love language would be an act of service.

Just like Spica, he doesn’t outwardly express his affection to you too often. 

He prefers giving you help with classwork and any work the guide committee has assigned to you.

If you pay attention to how he acts around others compared to how he acts with the other sorcerers he’s more laid back around you.

When you two are alone he’s still serious but smiles more often and gets a little bit more physically affectionate.

His favorite place to kiss you other than your lips is on your cheek.

It was late at night, you were winding down for the day and getting ready for bed.

BANG

A loud noise coming from outside your window shocks you, peeking through the curtains you find nothing. Since it was so late you try to not worry about it too much and just go to sleep, that is until it happens again.

BANG

You’re tired but go to look out the window again hoping to find out the cause of the sounds anyway. After staring into the dark scenery outside scanning over it to see the nuisance who has been keeping you up, nothing. Just as you’re about to close the curtains Sirius pops up into your view. The initial action scared you but once you realize it’s just Sirius you close your curtains and go to bed.

He tries banging on your window and practically begs you to let him in but you continue to ignore him. After a while of this, you hear a loud sigh from the other side of your window and the sounds stop.

Once he’s left you’re able to drift off peacefully.

CRASH

The loud sound wakes you up, and shatters of glass burst across your room. Even though your lights are off you can see Sirius’s shadow crawling through the broken window.

“What the fuck, Sirius!”

He starts laughing, “I’ll clean it up in the morning, probably. You should have let me in before, Summoner.” He makes his way towards you despite your clear annoyance, dusting off any glass before jumping into your bed.

“Get out!”

“Come on, I know you love me,” he grips his hand around your bed frame to prevent you from pushing him off. “Shut up, loser”

Arcturus and you had been assigned by Spica to go downtown to buy desserts for an upcoming banquet. It was from the same bakery as usual so Arcturus already knew what to order. The bakery was a bit busier than usual that day so they couldn’t get the order done as fast as they usually do and told you to come back in an hour to pick up the order. You suggested using that extra time to take a look at the shops downtown. 

Arcturus agreed and sent Spica a message notifying him about the delay before leading you out the bakery door. Since he has still yet to show you every part of downtown he led the way and showed you around a few stores. You're both having fun browsing around until you get to one specific store Arcturus wanted to show you. Turns out in the months he hadn’t been to the store it was replaced. A yarn store is what took its place, and while you were both a little disappointed you thought you might as well take a look since you're already out there.

The moment you both walked into the shop with its warm lighting and wooden decor you could feel the coziness radiating. You had both talked about your interests in fiber arts but seeing Arcturus giddy as he starts to browse through the selection certainly confirms it. 

He turns to speak to you, “They have so many options, I want to buy something but I don’t think I can decide on what.”

“I’m feeling the same way. Maybe we could try and pick things out to make each other sweaters.” 

“Oh, that sounds fun! Alright, I think it will be easier to pick something I think you would like.”

“We should probably be quick about this so we can be on time to pick up the desserts at the bakery. So I’ll need to start choosing right away.”

It had been about 5 minutes before Arcturus finished shopping and joined you by your side again. He’s picked out beautiful soft looking yarns that are in your favorite color combinations. 

“Have you picked out your colors yet?”

“Almost! You can go and wait by the cash register and I'll be there in a few minutes”

He nodded and walked off to wait for you. Like you said I didn't take much longer for you to find the right colors and materials. 

You go to the front of the shop, and Arcturus is gleefully chatting with the shopkeeper while he waits. 

“Mc, are you done?”

“Yeah, I hope you like what I picked,” from the look on his face you could tell he was happy with your choice. 

Once the yarn was all chosen and paid you two had just enough time to get back to the bakery and pick up the desserts. During the walk there you talked about fits and styles of sweaters so you both could make something you knew the other would like. 

The desserts got picked up and brought to Contell safely. Arcturus looked quite excited to tell you that he'd be free all evening to knit and crochet together, he needed to finish a few more things for the upcoming banquet so you part ways until then. 

Later that night, not too long after dinner you get a knock on your door. It was Arcturus, knitting needles and yarn in hand. You both agreed to bring your supplies outside to one of the gardens since the weather was nice. 

There were plenty of free benches placed along the garden path so you could sit down and get started. The air is cool and refreshing, Arcturus and you talk about whatever comes to your mind until it gets too dark to see what you're working on. Not much of the sweaters got finished for either of you but you both agreed to work on the projects during your free time and make time to crochet and knit together like this again. 

Eventually, after months filled with knitting and crochet dates the sweaters were finished. Even though you both knew pretty much exactly what each sweater looked like, you both decided to present the gifts all wrapped up. Arcturus had his gift in a box wrapped with colorful wrapping paper and a bow, similar to how you wrapped up your gift. 

He opened yours first and his smile widened when he saw it. He immediately tossed the sweater on hugging and thanking you before passing his sweater your way.

Late at night Coutus hall

Solomon is still up working on a new spell, and Mc is still up, struggling to sleep.

The loneliness of the brothers and everyone else not remembering you has gotten to you.

You’ve spent god knows how long trying to fall asleep but your thoughts keep you awake. The only solution you’ve come up with is going to find Solomon to cure your loneliness.

You can see the light spill out from under the door of his room. Once you knock, he gives you permission to enter. “MC, usually you're asleep by now. Is anything wrong?”

You shuffle into his room holding your pillow “I’m feeling kinda lonely. Can I hang out with you for a little while?”

“Of course”

You make your way to an armchair in the corner of his room and curl up on it making yourself comfortable. He goes back to his experiments but this time his focus is split between his work and you “Are you missing the brothers?”

“Yeah…It’s so weird seeing the same people I’ve made connections with over those years not knowing who I am.”

“I understand what you mean, I hope to get us back to the timeline as soon as possible…even though this arrangement is in my favor.”

“Thanks for being here with me in this timeline, I don’t think I would know what to do without you.”

“I’m sure you would have handled it well on your own, you are my talented apprentice after all.” 

“Whether that’s true or not I’m still glad you're by my side. Not only to guide me through the past but to keep me company, it’s been nice living with you!” Your tone brightens for a moment before the thoughts of your right timeline come back. “Glad we feel the same way about this new living arrangement.”

“Even if we get back to the right timeline, what if I miss the past version of the others?”

“They are still the same people, they are just a little different, for better or for worse. You know we can’t stay in the past forever so it’s not like there is any choice to make.”

“I know, I know. I just can’t help but feel guilty. I know I’m going to have to leave them at some point, and it feels wrong getting close to them when I know it’s going to end soon.”

“We have to do this to get back to the right timeline. Even if you can’t stay forever I know you’ll have a positive impact on the brothers in this timeline nonetheless.” His words comfort you, your doubt is still there but the validation that you’re doing things right was just what you needed.

“Thank you, Solomon.” Your voice has gotten softer than it was a couple of minutes ago. Solomon decided to finish his experimenting early tonight and offered you a place next to him in bed to make you feel not as lonely, and you accepted his offer.

The warmth of him and his bed fills you with the comfort you needed today. You finally feel the sleepiness taking you away. The doubt may come back another day but for now, you’re confident in the choices you know have to be made.

“Solomon, I love you.”

The two of you have been dating for a while, even so this was the first time either of you have said ‘I love you’ out loud before. 

You’ve known that was how you felt about Solomon for quite some time but the warmth of snuggling up against Solomon and the shimmer of the moonlight peeking through his blinds made you feel like this was the right moment.

He feels the same right?

The silence he’s giving you says otherwise.

He moves slightly away from you and remains silent. Your not sure what to do, leave?, apologise?, try and talk out the situation?, you want to do one of those but your body feels frozen in place and your lips unable to get a word out for fear of not being able to keep the tears welling up in your eyes from falling once you start talking.

Both of you just sit in silence while you're still awake, luckily you feel your eyelids start to get heavy so you can escape the tense awkwardness you started, at least for a little bit.

—

You slowly blick yourself awake. Still inside Solomon’s bed just alone. You still have to get to RAD so you get ready with the things you brought with you for staying over.

Simeon is already up “Good morning, MC.”

“Good morning. Is Solomon still here?.”

“No, he told me he needed to leave early. You were already planning to eat with us, right?. Breakfast will be done in a minute.”

“Oh, ok. Thanks.”

Him not being with you in the morning is certainly not a good sign. At this point you're already mourning your relationship.

You try to put on your best smile to try and keep the others from worrying, maybe if you focus on smiling wide enough you won’t have any time to think about how the man you have fallen head over heels in love with doesn’t feel the same. 

There is no way Simeon and Luke can’t see your upset, they’re angels after all. But even if they weren't, your emotions are extremely obvious right now. Trying to maintain a conversation without bursting into tears is proving difficult right now, the angels tried to ask what was bothering you but after a while of your obvious lies of ‘everythings alright’ and ‘Don’t worry it’s nothing’ they gave up hoping that giving you your time would help with things.

First class of the day happens to be with Solomon, your brain is fighting with itself attempting to decide what’s worse, him attending or not attending class. Pushing down your worries and stepping into the classroom you keep telling yourself.

‘Whatever happens, happens.’

Scanning the classroom you spot him, sitting in the spot next to yours like always. 

He’s already starting to approach you “How’s my adorable apprentice and lovely partner doing?” ending that sentence with a kiss on the cheek.

Every part of that greeting confused you,

I know last night wasn't a dream, it happened you’re sure it did.

“...”

“Sorry, darling. I had a few things that came up this morning and I didn’t want to wake you up to say goodbye. Hope you’re okay with that.”

“...”

“Are you still feeling a bit tired this morning?” 

Class was about to start and Solomon went ahead and dragged you to your seats.

All you could think was ‘What is happening!’ 

You know what happened last night was real, so why was he acting like it wasn't.

—

You can hardly form sentences with all that you’re feeling. The rest of the day is spent ignoring Solomon as much as possible while you wait to talk this out in private and with a clear mind.

“Hey, MC. Are you busy after class?”

“Why do you ask?”

“I was hoping to try Cafe Lament's new menu items with you.”

“Is that all?”

That pettiness in you can’t be contained, was this man really trying to plan a date with you just hours after completely ignoring your declaration of love for him.

“Huh? Yeah, why.”

“Sorry, I’m busy.”

Your tone was cold, but you couldn’t hold back from being upset. He’s allowed to not feel the same way as you, you know that but the fact he’s ignoring how you are feeling is what’s making you act this way.

You know the reasonable thing to do right now would be to try and talk with Solomon about what happened last night, but the thought of trying that sounded very overwhelming to you in your current state. Still you wanted to get this off your chest. The only person you thought to talk about this with was Asmo, he knew the both of you well and has given you plenty of good advice in the past. A couple of days ago, Asmo had mentioned that he had done a collaboration with Majolish and was going to get the prototypes some time  today, so safe to assume he went home. 

Once you finally make it back home and finish changing out of your uniform, you head to Asmo’s room, praying that he’s in there. Thankfully he is,he saw your expression and immediately knew you were upset. Before he could even ask what was wrong you bursted into tears. 

“Mc! What happened, hon?” He asked while pulling you into his room to give the two of you more privacy.

“Do you want to talk about it?” He guides you to the chair by his vanity and takes out some tissues.

“Yes,” you have to take a pause to give yourself enough time to form a coherent sentence “it’s about Solomon”

“Oh, honey. What happened?”

“It’s nothing too bad but…” Even trying to talk about what happened is bringing you tears. “I told him I loved him and he didn’t even reply. Worst part is he didn’t even acknowledge what had happened today”

“What do you mean ‘it’s nothing too bad’ he should know better than to do that to you!” Asmo kneels down next to you and holds your hands to comfort you before giving his solution “If you feel comfortable with it, then how about I talk to him for you. How does that sound?” 

“...I think that could work…I don’t really want to be there just in case it’s something I don’t want to hear.”

“Alright hon, I can ask to talk to him tomorrow. How about right now we try out the things made for my Majolish collaboration?” All you could respond with was a  nod to him and an attempt of  the most genuine smile you could muster.

---

All of yesterday’s pamper got you feeling a bit better, even so you still have your feelings of heartbreak weighing on you. Asmo’s gone out, he asked Solomon to talk with him, all you can do is pace around your room, waiting for whatever the conclusion will be. This could be the end of your relationship and all you could do was wait around. Why did you get Asmo to do this without you around, it’s making everything feel more out of your hands than it would have been with you there. Sure it would have still ended the same but at least you could interfere or something, but that also wouldn’t be ideal. He should get to say his decision without me trying to get what I want to say out loud. It’s only fair, right? 

Well, it’s too late to question what the better option would be. Your phone buzzes, it’s a text from Asmo. He says Solomon agreed that you two should have a talk with each other.

It’s agreed that Solomon is coming to the House of Lamentation to have this discussion in your room. It’s only going to take a few minutes for him to get here. 

---

It took a lot longer than you expected to hear a knock on your door. Asmo was standing behind him, he offered to stay to mediate the discussion but Solomon turned that down. Once the door was closed and you two were both seated on your bed Solomon starts speaking “MC, I’m sorry for how I handled what happened. It’s just that I’m worried about accepting that I’ve fallen in love with you. It has nothing to do with who you are, I just have lost everyone I’ve ever loved due to my immortality and it's just difficult for me to let people into my life and express how much I care about them. I do love you, MC. I hope you know that I mean it.”

At this point, tears are running down your face. Solomon and you chose to sit a little distant from each other when you first sat down but as soon as he’s done talking you lean in to hug him for some comfort. All you have to say is, “Are you sure?” 

“Yes, yes I’m sure. I love you.”

“I love you too.”

Simeon and you were walking towards each other through the halls of RAD, Simeon ended up being the one to start your conversation “Oh, Mc. I had something I wanted to talk to you about, do you have a minute?” 

“Yeah, go ahead.”

The two of you continue walking to the RAD exits while Simeon explains what was on his mind “I thought since Valentine's Day is coming up the two of us could bake some cookies together. I know that the brothers will probably be hogging your attention throughout that day, maybe we could get together this weekend to make some sweets that way we could also hand them out to everyone else as their Valentine's gifts.”

“Of course, I would love to!” Simeon looks delighted with your answer, and continues to explain what he had in mind “I’m sure Purgatory Hall already has all the ingredients we need and I remember both Luke and Solomon said they would be out most of the day on Sunday. If you can make it then, it would be easier to keep the surprise from them.”

“Sunday works for me. Are you sure you don’t need me to bring any ingredients?” The two of you stop when you reach the corner you usually part ways at, to have a bit more time to talk. “No, don’t worry I’ve got that covered. Let me walk you the rest of the way home, It’s nice getting a moment alone with you.” You agree and catch up with what went on in your day.

It’s the weekend before Valentine's Day, Simeon texted you the day before telling you the time Solomon and Luke should be out of the house, around one in the afternoon with them coming back before dinner. Hopefully that also left time for you to air out the kitchen so the cookie surprise isn’t immediately obvious.

When the wait is up Simeon picks you up from the House of Lamentation, the two of you discuss the cookie decoration ideas you both had in mind. Setting up the cookie making starts pretty much right away, Simeon had already gotten out the recipe you’ll be using, it was decided over text that making heart shaped sugar cookies would be the most on theme dessert for the holiday. He starts reading out the ingredient list directing you to pull them out so they’ll be ready to use. Once that’s done Simeon tells you to get started while he grabs something from his room, he comes back after about a minute holding a present wrapped in pink heart shaped wrapping paper. 

You feel a little guilty when you first see what he has, you didn’t have anything on hand to give to him since you were going to wait until the actual holiday. “Oh, what’s that?” He gestures the gift towards you and responds “It’s one of the gifts I have for you today, I thought it would be best to give this to you now rather than later given what it is.” 

“Thank you Simeon! You should have told me that you were going to be. I could've brought some of the things I had for you.” You say while starting the unwrapping. “Well, that would have ruined the surprise wouldn’t it? So do you like it?” It’s a Valentine’s Day themed apron, pink and covered with heart prints. “Oh! It’s so cute! Thank you” 

“I’m glad you enjoy it, I even have one here I bought for myself so we could be matching. With that out of the way let’s actually start baking. Oh, let me help you tie up your apron?” 

Once both of you decided who was going to do each step, you and Simeon got to work chatting more about whatever random things that came to either of your minds. Once the cookies were cut into their shapes and thrown into the oven, the two of you got started on the icing, it was divided into separate bowls and dyed one red, one white, one pastel pink. Simeon was helping you learn how to properly flood the icing and both of you were trying to make as many different designs as possible using some of the sprinkles the kitchen had on hand and the different coloured icing. 

Not all of them ended up original but they were still super cute. Simeon had even made some extra preparations and bought little boxes to give the cookies in, boxing the cookies was relatively quick, although there was some debate on who to give each cookie to.

It didn’t take as long as you expected and there was still a bit of time before Solomon and Luke came back. Simeon expressed interest in you staying for dinner tonight, since that's the plan there’s you have extra time to hang out with Simeon before everyone else gets back. It’s an hour before they come back enough time to make dinner together and than clean up, it goes pretty smoothly and by the time Luke and Solomon are back the kitchen is as clean as it was when they left and the cookie scent was gone from the room which would keep them from asking questions and ruining the surprise for themselves. Dinner was nice and once it was finished there was a bit of chatting before Simeon pulled you to his room. There was a cute pink box sitting on his bed.

“I said there was going to be another gift, didn't I? Go ahead, open it.” You pull off the top of the box and inside is a small heart shaped cake, it's decorated with pink frosting as the base and white frosting as decorative piping with those large pearl sprinkles carefully placed on it. “Oh, it’s so pretty! Thank you.” 

“I made it yesterday, I’m glad you like it. ” He prepared a knife and plates that were placed off to the side. It’s a delicious vanilla cake with strawberry flavoured buttercream frosting, it’s a wonderful moment between just the two of you…

Until Solomon and Luke come barging in and interrupt the moment.

“Barely, why?”

“Belphie, are you still awake?”

“Do you think you love them?”

“I was hanging out with MC today… We went out to eat and seeing their happy face when they tasted something they liked made me feel full in a way. Like I would want to give them my food, not in exchange to taste what they had or anything like that, but to make them happy… When I’m with them getting the most food leaves my mind and all that remains is wanting to see them smile”

“Maybe…”

“So am I going to have to force you into telling them how you feel or are you going to do it yourself?”

“Why not? I’m not one for meddling in others affairs but for you I’ll help set you up.” He chuckles while rolling over and pulling his blanket up “We can start a game plan in the morning, I’m not going to be able to stay awake for much longer. Good night.”

“Tell them? Are you sure that’s a good idea?”

“Thanks, Belphie. Good night.”

—

Breakfast is chaotic as usual, the human of last night's discussion is arguing with a few of the brothers about a recently released movie.

“Hey, MC…” 

Belphie woke up late as usual and started a conversation with you rather than listen to Lucifer's scolding.

“Do you wanna have an attic club meeting later tonight?”

“If Beels down than yeah”

Belphie glances at Beel flashing him a smirk as if it wasn’t obvious enough what his plan was going to be.

"Okay we can pick up snacks after RAD.'' Once Belphie had finally started on breakfast everyone else was already rushing out the door shouting behind them about they're not going to wait around for him.

Beel was the only one who waited around, reason being he wanted to continue last night's conversation.

“I know what you're up to, I don’t think it’s a good idea.”

“I thought you got over thinking that last night.”

He did remember agreeing but his worries are resurfacing all over again. “So, are we doing this or not?” “Well-” 

“Nevermind, I just decided it’s already set in stone.” Is all he said before walking away to not let Beel go back on his decision.

—

The time has come a couple hours after dinner, the three of you made your way to the attic with snacks in hand. Beel was obviously nervous, he hoped you wouldn't be able to notice but of course you knew him well enough to know this not how he normally acts.

“Beel, is everything alright? You’re looking a bit uncomfortable.” you asked

“Oh, yeah I’m fine. Don’t worry” trying his best to reassure you with his usual smile. 

“Well if you say so, anyways what snack did you too end up choosing.”

The conversation continued like regular. Beel started feeling less and less on edge as time passed. He still didn’t know what Belphie plan was going to be or when it was going to happen, for all he knows it could happen at any moment-

Belphie stood up “I’m going grab one of my pillows downstairs.” 

“I could grab it for you if you’re too tired.” Beel offered

“No. Why don’t you and MC just chat with each other for a little while”

Was that it? I guess it’s expected that his plan wouldn’t be too elaborate and this did end up getting you two alone and less likely to be interrupted by the rest of the brothers, the lighting was also dimmer and felt more romantic than in just MC’s room.

Even if it’s not the most extravagant plan, if it ends up working it ends up working. 

“Oh, I almost forgot Belphie told me you wanted to talk to me about something.” Well this makes things harder to go back on now. 

“Yeah…” He should have planned this part out better. Everything he thought he wanted to say in this moment is gone, all he needs to do is tell them his feelings and phrase it in a way that doesn’t make them uncomfortable. 

“Well? What is it?”

“You’re like a cheesesteak to me.” Panic, what sentence just came out of his mouth can that even qualify as a confession? You, for obvious reasons, look confused and all you can really ask is “What?” What was he supposed to say now? “I- uh…” 

The moment you both find out part of Belphie’s plan involves staying just outside the entry to the attic’s bedroom is when he decides to intervene. “Beel, I expected better from you. I really hope that wasn’t the planned out confession you decided on”

“Confession?” 

“See they didn’t even know that, that was supposed to be a confession” Belphie was exasperated at this point.

“Sorry, I had a few lines planned out for what I wanted to say but I just panicked a little at the moment. MC, what I meant to say was I have feelings for you and wanted to know if you felt the same way” Shock was still evident on your face, it takes you a moment for your brain to catch up with what was happening, but when it does and he sees your smile he starts feeling hopeful

“Aw, Beel! You’re like a cheesesteak to me too.” you run up to hug him. You’re all happy, Beel’s a little embarrassed, but even though it was a bit of a disaster it ended well.

(In case you haven't read the chat)

(sorry for having to scroll past the whole chat)

“Levi, did I not tell you to get Mammon, dinners ready” Lucifer called out as he set up the dining table

“I did tell him, he said he was busy and to eat without him” 

“Busy, yeah right. I’m sure this is just about his little misconceptions” Asmo said while giggling. You turn to Asmo confused 

“Yeah he’s embarrassed he mistook the letter you delivered to him for a love letter. He was so confident about it too, didn’t even think to check before bragging. Almost makes me feel sorry for him” 

Lucifer sat down and signed “He should really learn to not get ahead of himself” You let out a shocked expression “Oh, I feel bad for him. You guys can start without me. I’m going to clear things up with Mammon” 

You make your way to Mammons room and knocked on the door

“...”

“Come on I know you’re in there” due to the lack of reply you decide to start banging on the door in hope of a response

"Calm down, if you want to come into my room this badly I guess I'll allow it"

Mammon finally lets you in and you quickly start explaining yourself “I’m sorry about Lucifer’s letter, I didn’t think you would get that impression”

He attempts to retain his composure and defend himself “What are you talking about, ya really thought I would think it’s a love letter… or something”

“Oh, really? Levi told me-”

“WHAT!? You seriously believe him over me”

“He showed me the conversation and sent me screenshots too”

His eyes started to wander to everywhere but yours own “ Wha- I- he - how do ya know that was me!?”

“Just let me make it up to you, alright” Mammon responds to you with a scoff “Getting to hang out with me sounds like I'm doing you a favour" 

“Yeah, yeah. Get ready I’m taking you out on a date” The last bit said with a teasing tone.

“Be ready by 8, don’t be late”

“Ugh, fine. You’re paying though” and with that you left.

As soon as you’re out of sight he can no longer hold back his giddy grin, a grin that stayed on his face the entire time he was getting ready only stopping to try and settle his now burning up face. His door soon burst open “So, have you decided where we’re going yet?”

“Oh, uh I don't know, wanna go to Majolish to check out the new clothes”

“Sounds good, let’s go!” you grab Mammons arm and start dragging him out the door, once you get past the gates you loosen your grip, allowing him to take the lead. 

Mammon's residual embarrassment with the results of his premature bragging and the fact that he’s holding your hand right now is what’s responsible for him being unusually silent. With him refusing to hold a conversation with you, the only thing breaking the silence throughout most of the walk is your little giggles directed at his obviously flustered face, giggles that make his hand tense up and pout more prominent. 

Once you can see Majolish in the distance you finally speak up.

“So, you ready for me to spoil you to your heart's content, my lovely date~”

“Better get your wallet ready don’t think I’m gonna take pity on ya”

“I said I was going to spoil you, don’t you go thinking I’ll go back on my promise” You speed up so you can open the door for him, bowing as he walks through as if he was royalty. 

“Good on ya, finally treating me with the respect ‘The Great Mammon’ deserves” with this sentence and confident stride to the clothing racks you think he had finally gotten over his original awkwardness. 

You follow him watching him shop, since he was unaware of your close presence when he finally turns around he jumps almost falling into the racks 

“!!!Aren’t you gonna shop for yourself?”

“I wasn’t planning on it, but maybe I’ll find something”

"It's weird with ya just following me around this whole time"

“Oh, sorry I'll leave you be for now" you start to walk off, Mammon grabs them by the arm and pulls them in close. "No, stay by me..." Mammon lets go MCs arm and backs away a little "It's just... I wouldn't want you to get lost or something. Lucifer would kill me" The awkwardness returned for a few uncomfortably long seconds before Mammon turned to continue shuffling through clothes. After a while of searching he lets out a sigh 

“So far nothing has caught my eye”

“Oh, do you wanna go to any other stores”

“No, I’m starting to get pretty hungry. Wanna pick up some food”

“Sure, I’m surprised you didn’t buy anything. I guess that’s lucky for my wallet” 

"Yeah, yeah…lucky you, don’t think I’m taking pity on ya or something”

"Got it, any place you wanna eat?”

“Yeah, I heard Beel talking about a new menu item from the bakery a few blocks from here, wanna check that out”

“Sure, let’s go” 

As two of you make your way to the shop you take the opportunity to question Mammon a little 

“So, nothing caught your eye earlier”

“Yeah, like I said before”

“I’m still just a little shocked that you had the opportunity to basically bankrupt me and didn’t take it” 

“I don’t see why you're complaining, if anything you should be on your hands and knees thanking me for my generosity”

“Thank you oh great Mammon. I shall forever be indebted to you” you say with the most dramatic voice and hand movements you can pull off

“Shaddup, we’re here now so you can stop pushing my buttons” you let Mammon pick out a couple things before he tells you “Just so you know all this your buying and don’t go thinking I’m going to share” 

“Of course, go wild” just like before even though you said he could get as much as you could afford the order was relatively modest. 

“So, what are you getting?”

“Oh, uh I already ate a little before we left, so I wasn’t planning on getting something”

“Suit yourself, I guess” once you get your order the two of you decide to head to a nearby park so you both can end this date on a more relaxing note. The park is pretty much empty so finding a bench to sit on wasn't difficult. 

“Which one was the item Beel was talking about?”

“This one right there. What? Are you regretting not getting anything for yourself? You better not start begging for me to share or anything like that because it’s not going to happen"

"I know, I know, I won't”

"Good” You sit and watch as he starts to chow down on his food "Wow, this is really good...AH!!!... have you been just staring at me this entire time!? God, don't you have something better to do other than stare at me? But... anyways this tastes pretty good, and since I'm feeling extra generous today I'm willing to offer ya some... I mean maybe that will even get ya to stop staring at me”

"Didn’t you say you weren't going to share?”

“Here I thought you would appreciate my generosity. It feels weird having you sitting with an empty plate, while I have all this food. So... just take my offer while it's still up for grabs"

“And yet you keep insisting that you haven’t been taking pity on me”

“I told ya I wasn’t, the only reason I’ve been taking it easy on ya is because I don’t wanna face Lucifer's punishments if I did. Nothing more, get that through your head”

“Okay, if that’s what you want to keep telling yourself”

Mammon's expression softens a bit before he goes to hand you one of his cookies. 

“I heard this one was good…So ya like it”

You nod “Thanks for sharing with me!”

“Yeah, yeah. Whatever”

Both of you enjoy your treats together, Mammon finally loosens up a little and starts to drop his tsundere-like tendencies, making for a pleasant conversation. You hardly notice how late it’s been getting, once Mammon releases what time it is he appears both shocked and concerned “We should probably head back, but ya better be careful if Lucifer found out how long I kept you out he would kill me”

You two grab all your things and throw out all your trash before heading home. On the way back Mammon catches you shivering “Are ya getting cold?” 

“I’m fine” 

"Are you sure? I don't want you to get sick because of this... y'know the others would kill me if that happened to you under my watch. So just take my jacket, ok"

“Says the man “not spoiling me””

He rolls his eyes pretending to be annoyed by your comment, while taking his jacket off and putting it over your shoulders.

“Thank you, Mammon~” you lean into him and hold his hand and try to continue walking.

“HUH, WHAT?!”

“Oh, do you not want me holding your hand? Sorry” You back off and give him a light hearted chuckle.

He fidgets with his hand for a few seconds before answering “It’s just I wouldn’t want anyone to get the wrong idea”

"The wrong idea? Guess my intentions weren't clear enough"

"No... I knew those were your intentions... I mean why wouldn't you wanna go on a date with The Great Mammon"

"Oh, then what did you mean by wrong intentions?"

“Would ya stop questioning me,” Now he’s the one going to hold your hand “"If you really wanna okay, maybe this will help warm you up too" with those last few words he softens his tone of voice.

The two of them continue walking and chatting about the rest of the House of Lamentation’s recent antics. As you get closer to your door the chatting fizzles out. Once you’re standing outside of your room Mammon breaks that silence "Um, I guess good night"

You enter your room and turn around leaning on the door frame "You can hang out with my room if you want"

"HAHA, knew you wouldn't be able to part ways with me just yet!"

As soon as he finishes his sentence you glare at him while moving to shut your door in his face.

"HEY, MC I was just joking let me in"

You decide to take pity on him, open the door back pulling him inside while laughing.

"You always act so cocky" you tell him while ruffling his hair.

"HEY, quit it"

You continue to pull him around until you're both sitting side by side on the couch.

“So, did you have fun today?”

"I guess, too bad I couldn’t find anything good on sale"

“Couldn’t find anything good, yeah right. You just care too much about me to spend all my money, isn’t that right”

“WHAT!? Ya really thing The Great Mammon, avatar of greed would care about some lowly human”

“Ok, ok sure you “hate” me I totally believe you. But still I’m glad you had fun! I hope it makes up for the letter"

"You didn't have to make up for that, it's not like I cared or anything but hey thanks for the free food"

"While fine if you don't think it's necessary than I won't be giving your apology gift"

"GIFT? Is it something expensive? I was hurt by the letter I swear! Take pity on me"

"Don't worry it's not worth anything. You decided to stay in my room, anything you want to do to pass the time” 

“Nooo, I wanna see the gift. Please”

"Sure, since you asked so nicely" you tease, placing an envelope on his lap.

“Money!?”

You playfully scold him, lightly slapping his shoulder "I already told you that's not what it is. Don't get your hopes up" 

“Ok I promise won't get my hopes up. Can I open it now?"

You smile and nod. Mammon opens the envelope and pulls out a folded up letter. He stays silent while reading, once he's done he leans into you and presses his face into your side. It was your handwritten letter

"I told ya I didn't think it was a love letter. So, you're really going to believe Levi over The Great Mammon"

"I guess if you don't want it then I'll just take this off your hands"

He folds up the letter and shoves it in his pocket "no"

“Love you, Mammon”

"Ya better mean it"

"I do"

"Good… I love ya too" He lifts his head up to face you stares into your eyes for a few seconds before leaning in for a kiss "um... if it's not too much to ask... can ya write me some more of those letters?"

You giggle, pressing a kiss into his cheek "Anything for you"

Your final class of the day has come to an end as your packing up your notes you get a text

Guide committee-

Spica - “I need you all to come to the committee room”

You're already so tired and just want to lie down. This day has been stressful enough, but I guess you don’t really have a choice do you.

After you finish your grumbling you go back to getting the rest of your things and head to the committee room.

As you walk you notice Alpheratz going the other direction “Skipping guide committee again?”

“I guess I’ve been caught. I’ll just get Arcky to fill me in late, I’m going to take a nap”

“Well than sweet dreams”

He stops you before you get the chance to walk away.

“You look tired yourself, want to skip with me”

“As tempting as that offer is I don’t want to miss anything important”

“If it’s that important they’ll make sure we know, so what’s the worry”

You contemplate your decisions before letting your exhaustion speak for you

“I guess you're right”

“Follow me” he takes your hand and leads you to his room.

Once he gets inside he lets go of your hand and crawls into the bed from the farthest side.

“Come on, make yourself comfortable” he says while patting the spot next to him.

You kick off your shoes and lie down next to him.

He takes no time wrapping his arms around you.

Once he gets in a comfortable position he positions his head to rest on top of yours

“Sweet dreams, MC”
