Getting to know you again
Lucifer was the tough-love older brother.
...With everyone except for you that is.
After vowing to always love Lilith and then almost killing you more than once...
He felt more than a bit guilty.
You had spent your only alone time before this whole Lilith thing came to light drawing.
Just doodles and sketches.
The only one that had noticed before was Mammon since he was practically your babysitter.
But now Lucifer had noticed too.
And nothing you could do would stop him from displaying your drawings proudly on the walls if you ever gave him one.
He also liked to spend time with you listening to his record collection.
Chilling in his room while listening to music together, him working while you were drawing, was your go to bonding activity.
But don't expect this to mean he won't lecture you.
He's definitely lecturing you.
"Do you know how unsafe that is?"
"Never go there by yourself again."
"Get down from there MC, you'll break something."
"Do not make me repeat myself. You are not allowed to drink Demonus... I do not care if it does not affect you."
But still you were the only one who could get away with pranking him, so there was that.
He was already over protective of you before finding out you were his sibling.
Now he acts like your personal guard dog.
But don't make the mistake of calling him 'Cerberus' again.
He buys you so many things at first that you start to wonder whether he's sick or something.
Eventually he calms down and stops.
In reality he got his credit card frozen again.
But still he'd do anything for you.
He won't admit it, but he loves you so much he couldn't even put it into words if he tried.
He loves the person you've become and he's so proud of you.
He's also always helping you out whenever Lucifer is about to lecture you.
If anyone can reason with Lucifer in those cases, it's him.
You keep asking him to serve as a reference for your drawings.
Posing characters in drawings is hard , ya know?
But he's an expert at modeling.
And he's not going to say no to spending more time with you.
After all, he's the first one who made a pact with you so
"I'm obviously the best big bro, right?"
He drags you into childish prank wars.
You were pretty sure he let you win though.
Probably because when he did win, your other brothers would glare at him for days.
"Can you draw Ruri-chan in a flower field?!"
"Can you draw the characters of TSL?!"
"OOOH, CAN YOU DRAW MY HENRY AS THE HENRY?!"
Unless it was a present or something.
You kept staying up watching anime late a night.
You missed school a couple of times because you ended up sleeping in.
And whenever you would watch a really good anime together the amount of cosplays Levi wanted to make for you was ridiculous.
Roleplaying anime and manga characters was so fun.
You could basically spend days locked together in his room or yours without getting bored or even noticing the passage of time.
And don't even ask about videogames...
If you start a good video game, no one else will see you both until you beat it.
Levi also helps you whenever you get pain from drawing too much.
Being a gamer, he's experienced similar types of pain.
You also casually mentioned taking him to Comic Con in the human word once.
He'll "die" if you don't.
Expect to win first place at any cosplay contest in the future.
Levi won't accept anything less.
"You aren't dressed as Henry."
He was the most relaxing of your brothers to be around.
He found you relaxing to be around too.
He enjoyed telling you all about Lucifer's embarrassing secrets and about all the pranks he'd pulled during the years.
You also were there for each other whenever you felt self conscious about not being your own person.
You both liked sitting in the library in silence.
One time you got really bored and started sketching him.
Then you got even more bored and added cat ears.
He saw before you could hide it.
He was understandably flustered.
You gave it to him and you're pretty sure he keeps it safe with his favorite books.
He's also the one you go to when you can't sleep for random reasons.
He doesn't mind you waking him up.
That just means he gets to read you a bed time story.
No, he doesn't care if you feel childish.
He will tuck you in and read to you and you will like it.
Whether you liked it or not, you were going to look your best.
Asmo would not allow you to feel like anything less than royalty.
You were his little sibling.
And considering his other little siblings would never let him...
He needed someone to dress up and put makeup on.
He designed so many outfits for you that it made you feel bad for Levi, knowing he'd have to be the one to sew them together.
You pretty much had your own "original Asmo" clothing line wardrobe.
And he also loved all your drawings.
Especially the really cute ones.
He believes everything about you and your appearance is perfect.
He will not allow you to shame yourself in any way.
He will go as far as dedicating entire days to making you feel good about yourself.
And if anyone ever dares insult your looks or your body...
Took him a while to explain why he was acting weird around you.
You had almost forgotten that he blamed himself for Lilith's death.
Honestly, you didn't blame him.
The Lilith part of you never blamed him either.
So you asked Lucifer for money and took him out to eat.
He still wasn't acting like himself, but at least this gave you an opportunity to talk to him.
You reminded him that you would have made the same decision had you been in his place.
And your were happy he made that decision.
You wouldn't be you if he hadn't.
Slowly but surely, he loosened up.
And then proceeded to eat the restaurant's entire stock.
Whenever he started feeling bad again you would hug him and try to take his mind off of it.
You couldn't help the way he felt, but you made sure he knew you didn't agree with him beating himself up about it.
He brings you food all the time.
If you say your aren't hungry, he'll still bring you food.
If you insist, then he'll sit beside you and he'll eat the food.
You love sharing giant bowls of lava cake and ice cream, even if Beel ends up eating most of it.
Of course it was all still very awkward.
Belphie was still coming to terms with how different you were from Lilith.
And the times you acted exactly like Lilith threw him off.
You'd think you would spend most of your time together sleeping, but actually most of your time together is spent making art.
You gave Belphie one of your drawings as a show of good will.
You didn't want what had happened in the attic to shape your relationship.
(Even if it was still hard to let go...)
Once Belphie realized that you liked to draw he figured it could be a good bonding experience to draw together.
You do your best to cheer him on.
You didn't think his drawing was that bad despite what the others had said.
He also started teaching you how to make plushies.
As you grew closer, he also grew clingier.
It wasn't too much of a bother, but you could see him pout whenever you hung out with someone else.
Those nights he would inevitably cuddle with you to sleep.
He still slipped up and called you Lilith sometimes, but you always tried your best to wave it off.
You weren't as close as him as your past life had been, but you were getting closer.
Lucifer talks a lot about his family in general when he's alone with Diavolo.
But when it comes to you?
Oh boy, has Lucifer told him everything.
Diavolo has started regarding you his little sibling as well.
You're constantly being invited over for tea.
(Which makes you terribly anxious but you agree nonetheless.)
He dotes on you so much it's like having a second Lucifer... Who's the complete opposite of Lucifer.
He refuses to go into detail about your rebirth and has told Barbatos to not tell you anything either.
Diavolo also sees you as the embodiment of what he's trying to accomplish.
You're a human who was once an angel and has 7 demon brothers.
If that's not proof of how well the three realms can coexist, he doesn't know what is.
Of course, he's the once preparing the tea whenever you come over.
He also seems to be aware of how uncomfortable social situations like those make you.
Diavolo remains oblivious to your discomfort, but Barbatos always comes to the rescue.
To be completely honest, Barbatos still scared you a bit.
And you SWORE he was enjoying it.
He'd come up behind you and start speaking.
You'd nearly jumped out of your skin a few times.
Maybe it was just a coincidence, because you were naturally jumpy.
But you were also usually on alert because of that fact, so him being able to sneak up on you so consistently without actually trying to was suspicious.
You were keeping an eye out for him from now on.
The difference before and after he found out you were Lilith was minimal.
He still babies you terribly.
He will unapologetically steal you away from your brothers.
If you didn't know any better you'd think he was trying to claim you as his sibling instead.
You were with Levi when you both found out that it was Simeon who wrote TSL.
In the midst of Levi's fanboying he blurted out that you'd made fan art.
You were planning on killing him for that later, but now you had to deal with Simeon pestering you about wanting to see your art.
You were not going to show him your art.
Did he want you to die of embarrassment?
You couldn't just show the creator of TSL your fan art.
Specially not anything relating to ships.
But then he had to go and say: "It's a shame. I have been looking for someone to illustrate the special edition of the books that's releasing for the anniversary..."
You saw evil behind that innocent smile of his.
You were so grateful when he actually liked your art.
(You still weren't showing him the ships. That was not happening.)
You couldn't help but feel he definitely had better choices for an illustrator than you, but he insisted that wasn't the case.
You spent a lot of time with him just gushing about how good his writing was and trying to figure out how he seemingly wrote about events that hadn't happened yet.
But he wasn't planning on revealing that anytime soon.
That was a closely guarded secret.
Any pent up frustration you get from having your brothers overly doting on you gets directed into Luke.
Luke is going to get the best big sibling whether he wants it or not because dang it you need to pay the love forward somehow.
But when you do help him bake is when the sibling roles seem to flip.
Luke is obviously nearly a master at baking so he's in charge when making sweets.
But then again, he'd probably reprimand you for eating raw cookie dough regardless of his authority over you.
When your brothers start calling him a chihuahua you defend him.
"Guys, he doesn't like it when you call him that."
This is one thing they don't seem inclined to listen to your opinion on, however.
You can't completely blame them.
You have to stop yourself from calling him that too.
Not to mess with him, but because you think it's cute.
You may or may not have drawn a lot of Luke chihuahuas in your sketchbook though...
When you finally managed to evade your brothers and go hang out with Solomon he had so many questions.
You answered all you could, but there were things you couldn't answer like the exact "how?" of you being Lilith.
You told him he'd have to try to ask Diavolo and by the mischievous spark you saw in his eyes you knew he would.
You didn't want to be unfair to the other people in your life, but you loved spending time with Solomon.
It wasn't necessary better than spending time with anyone else, it was just different.
It gave you a weird tingly feeling.
And Solomon clearly liked spending time with you too, given the fact that he was usually the one asking you out.
You felt really calm around him.
You felt like you could be yourself completely.
Probably an added effect of having him know your dreams.
It was imposible not to feel closer to him after he saw the products of your subconscious mind and he still accepted you.
And you were honestly fascinated by him.
He had so many stories of the human world.
He knew a lot of history too.
It was almost as if he had been around back then...
Whenever you implied that, however, he would always deflect and change the subject.
He'd also been avoiding telling you his age, which was suspicious enough in itself.
But then again, your older brothers were demons so maybe you weren't in the best position to be calling people out for being suspicious.
You'd always been really open to trusting people and seeing the best in them.
That was probably something you retained from your time as Lilith.
And your fascination with the human world in general seems to have been another thing you retained as well.
You really wanted to keep getting to know the world through Solomon's stories.
And maybe get to know him along the way too.
