In the scenario that Lucifer and Alastor both arrive at Blitzo's sham trial, I can imagine Satan arguing with the others over how the trial is to be run, whether or not the amnesiac queen should be here and basically devolving into argument over unresolved grudges.
Alastor, due to the Memory Seal, still isn't all that certain why Lucifer had insisted on bringing him along when the Radio Demon insisted that the King do his God-Damned job after Angel bought everyone's attention to the picture-box with the sham trial on display. Lucifer said something along the lines of 'being rusty' and 'you're better at talking than me, deer' while Charlie agreed that it was a good idea to 'reintroduce him to the others.'
He tunes out the gibberish coming out of the Princes' mouths and instead focuses on the confused and terrified defendants, three imps and a hellound, shackled and muzzled without even a lawyer to defend them. On the prosecution's side he saw the goetia, a pompous looking blue-white peacock glaring down at them from behind his fan with disdain and, briefly, Lucifer and Alastor himself in intregue, disbelief and presumption.
Alastor felt his blood boil.
Alastor: *eyes flaring purple as he slams his cane to the floor, casting a shockwave of static* ENOUGH!!
*echoing silence*
Alastor: ALL OF YOU, STOP YOWLING ABOUT THE PAST AND THINK OF SOMEONE OTHER THAN YOURSELVES!!
The Seven Sins: *flinching in unison* Yes, sir!
Alastor: *he eyes Satan, who seems to shrink under his glare* SATANAEL DEVERAUX, YOU WERE IN CHARGE OF THIS TRAVESTY. EXPLAIN NOW. WHY DO THE DEFENDANTS NOT HAVE ATTORNEYS? WHY IS THIS POOR DEAR MUZZLED LIKE A WILD ANIMAL? WHY ARE YOU DENYING THEM THE BASIC RIGHT TO DEFEND THEMSELVES FROM SOMEONE WHO IS OBVIOUSLY BIASED AND SPITEFUL?
Andrealphus: Excuse me, I'd nev-
Alastor: Quiet, peacock, and wait your turn. *turns back to Satan* Well? Are you going to answer me?
Satan: *scrambles for answers as his little shoulder demon watches in astonishment* They are- I- because they-
Alastor: *sighs* You know what? I donāt care what your excuses are because this is simply unacceptable. Thoughtlessly executing those without protection or power while the rich and powerful can commit those same crimes and WORSE yet still sit in luxury? For Hell's sake, this is something Adam and his Exorcists do every year! I am so disappointed that you decided to emulate him of all people.

Howād I get Isikiaād into Yandere Obey Me Chapter Twelve-Tears, Fears, and not so secret discussions
(I'm gonna include the last paragraph from the previous chapter since these had been supposed to be posted together, but schedules did not allow that. Also figured out the laptop, may have to return it for a new one though cause its slightly damaged on the screen. Thank goodness for warranties!)
Luciferās POV:
The pain of the fall, the feeling of being ripped apart and unmade, and the horror of being in what we thought would be a land full of beings who would kill us on sightā¦ Even just the smell of the blood we were drenched in from after the fall. She was three thousand at the time. Did she even know what it all meant?
Does she remember? I hope she doesn't. I don't know what to do if she does. āKnock, knock.ā A soft knock sounded from the door. I glared at it as (Y/N) stirred in her sleep. I shushed her quickly, thankfully keeping her asleep.
I got up carefully brushing her hair from her face. It had only been a couple hours, but already she had adorably messy hair. It was almost like a bird's nest. I strode to the door quietly with a stern glare. A glare that softened at the sight of my old friend at the door. āDiavolo.ā I murmured quietly. āItās late, why are you here.ā
āI had a thought that you might still be awake.ā He murmured back quietly. He shifted slightly to reveal Barbatos faithfully by his side. āBarbatos will stay with (Y/N) for a moment while we have that discussion I mentioned to you.ā
āThis canāt wait? Surely the exchange program can wait till the morning before greeting our guests.ā I asked him softly, slightly confused.
āItās not about the program.ā He explained in a whisper. āIt's about (Y/N).ā
I immediately nodded and followed him after making sure (Y/N) was secure with Barbatos. āLets us discuss then.ā
(Y/N) POV:
āUser!ā I rolled over tiredly ignoring the noise I heard in my ears. āUser! It's important!ā I mentally prepared to sit up, but before I could GLitchās voice rang out again in my head. āDonāt! You're not alone! Iām sending a video feed to your consciousness now, youāll fall asleep again in the meantime.ā
Instantly my limbs and head felt like lead as my consciousness sank back to sleep. Instead of seeing nothing like alwaysĀ I saw a study. Clearly whoever owned this room had an expensive and classy taste. As I looked around I noticed my body was the same as always except for the fact that I was now transparent. I went to lean against a side table, but instead my arm went through it like I did not exist.
I heard the door click open and whirled around to face it. It wasā¦ Diavolo and my brother?! I had never recalled an event like this in the game where they had such serious demeanors together! I leaned in closer peering over Luciferās shoulders as they sat down at Diavoloās desk.
Diavolo sighed and leaned back in his chair resting his head against his hand. āYou know, Luciferā¦ It's such a shame your sister is so close to being an adult.ā His eyes gazed into Lucifers. āAs customary as it is, I wouldnāt be surprised to find demons lining up around the block to see her soon. Especially now that it will be clear you and your brothers now cherish her. Imagine the political power lower demons will thirst over when it comes to having her hand in marriage.ā Diavoloās voice was soft and musing as he spoke. It sounded almost like he was teasing or taunting Lucifer, but his eyes were anything but that. His eyes were deadly serious and dark.
Lucifer's brow furrowed immediately as his grip on the arms of his chair tightened. āTheyāll know better.ā He gritted out.
Diavolo chuckled musingly. āWill theyā¦?ā He tilted his head a small smirk on his face that would seem innocent if not for the calculating look in his eyes. I felt my heart pound in anxiety as my hands trembled.
āWell if you want itā¦ I can help. We are old friends after all.ā Diavoloās calculating eyes peered straight into Lucifer's shocked ones.
āWhat kind of help?ā Lucifer asked in a darkly quiet voice his grip on the chair relaxing as he leaned back gazing at Diavolo questingly.
āIt's simple. We sign a contract between the two of us. You gain the assurance of your sister forever cared for and protected within you and your brother's reach, and I gain her. As the head of household you can sign over the right to her hand forbidding rejection from any unsavory suitors. We have a bit of time before sheās of marriageable age, and I would be content with an engagement till then. PLenty of time for planning after all.ā
āSince when did you have feelings for my sister?!ā Lucifer exclaimed, shocked.
āI didnāt realize it at first, but after her near death experience I canāt help but acknowledge my feelings for her. Barbatos was a big help in my discovery.ā I gasped in shock at all of this. Barbatos helped Diavolo discover his feelingsā¦? How did I not know?!
āLucifer hummed in thought, relaxing significantly. āIt would be nice to know she isnāt too far from home. She will stay with us till the ceremony I assume?ā Lucifer gazed at Diavolo thoughtfully as he asked.
āBut of course!ā Diavolo smiled reassuringly. āPlus after the ceremony whenever I have to go elsewhere without her for a while. That way she doesn't get scared from being alone.ā Lucifer nodded, clearly liking this proposition the more he understood it.
āVery well. We can draft something up eventually. Iāll inform her of it once itās complete.ā Lucifer got up after saying that. āIf that's all I should go back to her.ā
āOf course, friend.ā Diavolo got up as well, walking Lucifer to his office door. āGood night, Lucifer.ā
āGoodnight, Lord Diavolo.ā Lucifer strode out to where my body was sleeping.
I stood there still from shock. This was a development I never expected. Barbatos entered shortly after knocking on the door for permission. In his hands was a tray of tea. His eyes whirled around latching onto me as he glared as if searching for something. āIs everything alright, Barbatos?ā Diavolo asked him curiously.
āI thought I saw someoneā¦ā Barbatos said pensively, tearing his gaze away from where I stood. I let out a shaky breath of relief that he hadnāt truly seen me. āPreparations for tomorrow have been finished. The angels have informed us they will arrive early in the morning, Solomon will arrive near noon via his own means, and I will open a portal for the other human transfer students once Solomon and the angels have been settled in Purgatory Hall.ā
Diavolo nodded thoughtfully. āAnd the future you foresaw regarding the other human transfer student?ā
āWhile it has changed slightly it will still have the outcome you desire.ā Barbatos reassured him.
āGood. Let's retire for the night. We have an early morning.ā Diavolo and Barbatos then left and I stood alone in the room.
My gaze darkened again and I felt heavy as though sinking.
Lucifer POV:
I strode quickly wishing to get to (Y/N) quickly. On my way I bumped into Belphegor. It was no surprise to see him up and about so late since he had always been a bit of a night owl since we fell. āBelphegor.ā I greeted him from where he stood in front of the door of where (Y/N) was resting.
āDiavoloās being an idiot.ā He glared darkly at the ground curled into himself a bit.
My gaze sharpened. What was he thinking?! It would be over for our family if Diavolo heard him say such things! āWhat do you mean? Clearly you need more rest, go to bed now.ā
āHeās bringing humans to Devildom! Does he have a deathwish for us?! We lost one sister, I'm not losing another to wretched humans!ā I gripped him by the shoulders quickly silencing him with a spell. He glared at me in anger thrashing my hold.
āYou will not insult Lord Diavolo, or go against his plans.ā I saw his resolve in his eyes to not listen to me. I knew if I let him go on his way that he would harm the humans coming here. If that happenedā¦!
I quickly teleported us home and shoved him in the attack, locking him inside. āYou will stay here till you learn to listen and heed my words.ā I teleported myself back to the castle hiding the way my hands trembled. I wouldnāt lose another sibling of mine by being foolish again like with Lilith. I would protect my siblings from everything, even themselves.
I opened the door to where (Y/N) was resting quietly. I noticed that Barbatos had left already. He must have left (Y/N) in the care of Belphegor to attend to something Lord Diavolo needed. Thankfully she had not woken up in the brief moment she was alone.
I ran a hand through her hair delicately before laying down to go to sleep as well. She would be fine. I would keep the human carefully away from her. No one was going to hurt her ever again. None of my siblings would be allowed to be hurt by this human.
Last thought involving you:
Diavolo

Future Hubby
Yellow
āIt's a good thing Lucifer so readily agreed. I would have hated scaring my dearest by having to resort to nefarious means of having her.ā
The following proverbs were found carved on the walls of ancient Egyptian temples.
Since many Daemonolaters believe in the Hermetic foundation of our religion, we felt it proper to go back to the source for inspiration.
We have included slight modification in some of them for Daemonolaters and Traditional/Theistic Satanists indicated.
Please note that Maat has been changed to Satan because both deity names represent the same.
Heaven (in the sense of kingdom) has been changed to infernal kingdom.
Heaven in the sense of enlightenment has been changed to Lucifer.
Neter has been left alone.
Neter is an Egyptian word for the forces that are god or a group of gods that is the same as the Demonic Divine.
1. The [infernal] kingdom of Heaven is within you; and whosoever shall know himself shall find it.
2. The best and shortest road towards knowledge of truth [is] Nature.
3. For every joy there is a price to be paid.
4. If his heart rules him, his conscience will soon take the place of the rod.
5. What you are doing does not matter so much as what you are learning from doing it.
6. It is better not to know and to know that one does not know, than presumptuously to attribute some random meaning to symbols.
7. If you search for the laws of harmony, you will find knowledge.
8. If you are searching for a Neter, observe Nature!
9. Exuberance is a good stimulus towards action, but the inner light grows in silence and concentration.
10. Not the greatest Master can go even one step for his disciple; in himself he must experience each stage of developing consciousness. Therefore he will know nothing for which he is not ripe.
11. The body is the house of God [the Demonic Divine]. That is why it is said, "Man know thyself."
12. True teaching is not an accumulation of knowledge; it is an awakening of consciousness which goes through successive stages.
13. The man who knows how to lead one of his brothers towards what he has known may one day be saved by that very brother.
14. People bring about their own undoing through their tongues.
15. If one tries to navigate unknown waters one runs the risk of shipwreck. Leave him in error who loves his error.
16. Every man is rich in excuses to safeguard his prejudices, his instincts, and his opinions.
17. To know means to record in one's memory; but to understand means to blend with the thing and to assimilate it oneself.
18. There are two kinds of error: blind credulity and piecemeal criticism.
19. Never believe a word without putting its truth to the test; discernment does not grow in laziness; and this faculty of discernment is indispensable to the Seeker. Sound skepticism is the necessary condition for good discernment; but piecemeal criticism is an error.
20. Love is one thing, knowledge is another.
21. True sages are those who give what they have, without meanness and without secret!
22. An answer brings no illumination unless the question has matured to a point where it gives rise to this answer which thus becomes its fruit. Therefore learn how to put a question.
23. What reveals itself to me ceases to be mysterious for me alone: if I unveil it to anyone else, he hears mere words which betray the living sense: Profanation, but never revelation.
24. The first concerning the 'secrets': all cognition comes from inside; we are therefore initiated only by ourselves, but the Master gives the keys.
25. The second concerning the 'way': the seeker has need of a Master to guide him and lift him up when he falls, to lead him back to the right way when he strays.
26. Understanding develops by degrees.
27. As to deserving, know that the gift of Heaven [Lucifer] is free; this gift of Knowledge is so great that no effort whatever could hope to 'deserve' it.
28. If the Master teaches what is error, the disciple's submission is slavery; if he teaches truth, this submission is ennoblement.
29. There grows no wheat where there is no grain.
30. The only thing that is humiliating is helplessness.
31. An answer is profitable in proportion to the intensity of the quest.
32. Listen to your conviction, even if they seem absurd to your reason.
33. Know the world in yourself. Never look for yourself in the world, for this would be to project your illusion.
34. To teach one must know the nature of those whom one is teaching. In every vital activity it is the path that matters.
35. The way of knowledge is narrow.
36. Each truth you learn will be, for you, as new as if it had never been written.
37. The only active force that arises out of possession is fear of losing the object of possession.
38. If you defy an enemy by doubting his courage you double it.
39. The nut doesn't reveal the tree it contains. For knowledge ... you should know that peace is an indispensable condition of getting it.
40. The first thing necessary in teaching is a master; the second is a pupil capable of carrying on the tradition.
41. Peace is the fruit of activity, not of sleep. Envious greed must govern to possess and ambition must possess to govern.
42. When the governing class isn't chosen for quality it is chosen for material wealth: this always means decadence, the lowest stage a society can reach.
43. Two tendencies govern human choice and effort, the search after quantity and the search after quality. They classify mankind. Some follow Maat [Satan], others seek the way of animal instinct.
44. Qualities of a moral order are measured by deeds.
45. One foot isn't enough to walk with.
46. Our senses serve to affirm, not to know.
47. We mustn't confuse mastery with mimicry, knowledge with superstitious ignorance.
48. Physical consciousness is indispensable for the achievement of knowledge.
49. A man can't be judge of his neighbor's intelligence. His own vital experience is never his neighbor's.
50. No discussion can throw light if it wanders from the real point.
51. Your body is the temple of knowledge.
52. Experience will show you, a Master can only point the way.
53. A house has the character of the man who lives in it.
54. All organs work together in the functioning of the whole.
55. A man's heart is his own Neter.
56. A pupil may show you by his own efforts how much he deserves to learn from you.
57. Routine and prejudice distort vision. Each man thinks his own horizon is the limit of the world.
58. You will free yourself when you learn to be neutral and follow the instructions of your heart without letting things perturb you. This is the way of Maat [Satan].
59. Judge by cause, not by effect.
60. Growth in consciousness doesn't depend on the will of the intellect
or its possibilities but on the intensity of the inner urge.
61. Every man must act in the rhythm of his time ... such is wisdom.
62. Men need images. Lacking them they invent idols. Better then to found the images on realities that lead the true seeker to the source. Maat [Satan], who links universal to terrestrial, the divine with the human is incomprehensible to the cerebral intelligence.
63. Have the wisdom to abandon the values of a time that has passed and pick out the constituents of the future. An environment must be suited to the age and men to their environment.
64. Everyone finds himself in the world where he belongs. The essential thing is to have a fixed point from which to check its reality now and then.
65. Always watch and follow nature.
66. A phenomenon always arises from the interaction of complementaries. If you want something look for the complement that will elicit it. Set causes Horus. Horus redeems Set.
67. All seed answer light, but the color is different. The plant reveals what is in the seed.
68. Popular beliefs on essential matters must be examined in order to discover the original thought.
69. It is the passive resistance from the helm that steers the boat. The key to all problems is the problem of consciousness.
70. Man must learn to increase his sense of responsibility and of the fact that everything he does will have its consequences.
71. If you would build something solid, don't work with wind: always look for a fixed point, something you know that is stable ... yourself.
72. If you would know yourself, take yourself as starting point and go back to its source; your beginning will disclose your end.
73. Images are nearer reality than cold definitions. Seek peacefully, you will find.
74. Organization is impossible unless those who know the laws of harmony lay the foundation.
75. It is no use whatever preaching Wisdom to men: you must inject it into their blood.
76. Knowledge is consciousness of reality. Reality is the sum of the laws that govern nature and of the causes from which they flow.
77. Social good is what brings peace to family and society.
78. Knowledge is not necessarily wisdom.
79. By knowing one reaches belief. By doing one gains conviction. When you know, dare.
80. Altruism is the mark of a superior being.
81. All is within yourself. Know your most inward self and look for what corresponds with it in nature.
82. The seed cannot sprout upwards without simultaneously sending roots into the ground. The seed includes all the possibilities of the tree....The seed will develop these possibilities, however, only if it receives corresponding energies from the sky.
83. Grain must return to the earth, die, and decompose for new growth to begin.
84. Man, know thyself ... and thou shalt know the gods.

You woke up in a sweat, small gasps escaping your pale lips.
Taking a moment to realize your surroundings again, you were alone and scared.. in your room at the House of Lamentation.
Not being able to sleep anymore, you decide to take a walk to clear your mind. Whilst walking through the halls, you see a light emitting from Lucifers room.
Unsure at first, you eventually make yourself to his room, stoping at the doorway. He was awake at his desk, papers scattered everywhere as he wrote on them. You were about to leave, thinking you were sneaky. Ha, well guess again.
" What are you doing awake, Mc? It's the middle of the night" Damnit! How did he know? That was the least of your concerns at the moment. What started to really bother you was, what are you going to tell him? Do you lie or sugar coat it? Should you just tell him and get it over with? Would he think you're being childish over some little nightmare? Is he going to treat you any different because you're letting something like this scare you so badly?
"Well? Aren't you going to answer me, Mc?" After a few short shaky breaths, you make your way into his room. You definitely looked like a dishes mess, which made this old man worry.
" Hello? Mc I'm waiting on an answer " Oh boy, this was hard. It would have been different with someone else right? Enough day dreaming- bad Mc.
You try looking into his eyes, just to see if you can collect anything based on his expression. Lucifer displayed a very concerned, and soft look to his face. Ugh, that face and those cherry red eyes. How dare he use your weakness's against you? It takes a minute, but you tell him about your dream, how it pained you to wake up alone and scared.
While you spoke, every ounce of his attention was directed towards you and you only. Nothing else mattered right now, his pen was set aside, his eyes focusing on your form.
When you were done, he stood up. Making his way over to you as he spoke. "Ah, I see. That explains why you're wondering about at such a..bewildering time of night" Lucifer came as close as he could towards you, cupping your face within his palm. His other hand stroked your hair in an attempted to comfort you.
" Listen. I need you to understand something, Mc " He paused before speaking again, making sure that he had your attention. " As long as I'm here, you have nothing to fright over. I will not let anything happen to you, I promise you. I will keep you safe. No matter the circumstances. Got it? "
His words surprised you, but yet you felt safe in his arm. With a smile, you nod a little. Conveying that you understand and you're thankful.
" Good. Would.. Would it please you to sleep with me in my room tonight? I'll hold you close so nothing can harm you."
It's hard trying to take him seriously, especially when his face is no longer stern but instead a more..flustered one.. Let's just say, a sleep over in Lucifers room, equals a goodnight's sleep and a source of being.
Mammon
You couldn't sleep. Everytime your eyes closed, that nightmare would flash in your brain. Over and over and over again, why can't you seem to dream something else? Anything else? Why does it have to be that same dream? The same one that wakes you up with so much dread that it shakes your soul, and hurts your heart.
Feeling as if you should give up and succumb to your brain playing tricks on you. Just let the sleepless nights take control until you pass out from exhaustion. That's what you were planning, until your D.D.D chimed, the screen illuminating your room.
It was from Mammon. 'odd' you thought to yourself, but you didn't pay any attention to his message. Instead you curled up into a ball on the chilled floor, your knees hugged against your chest and your back resting against the bed. What felt like hours of just sitting there in the quiet.. something or someone can be heard walking through the halls. The footsteps stopping just right outside of your door. Then there was a knock.
" Hey, Mc. You awake? Be a good human and lend me some Grimm, there's this new 24 hour casino right here in the Delvildom that I've been dying to go to! "
Mammon opened your door not even midway into what he was saying. He never gave you the time to answer, it didn't matter if you were awake or asleep. He was going to get that money either way. That is, until he saw you.
What Mammon saw broke his heart, completely shattered it to smithereens. You couldn't help but notice how much his demeanor had changed..He went from uppity and happy to..well what he is now. Quiet, wide eyes like two pools filled to the brim with worry, he was so stunned. It upset you more. "M..MC..? What's wrong? Are you okay? " The white haired demon slowly approached you, not wanting to make you scared or uncomfortable. He sat on the floor next to you, not knowing what to do other than giving you some company.
The awkward quietness of this situation seemed to be getting on both Mammon, and your nerves as well. Feeling as if you might go insane, Mammon breaks the silence for the both of you two. " Hey, what's messin' with ya? You do realize it's nothin' The Great Mammon can't handle!, right? " He smiled, forcing a laugh to ease the tension in the room. However it didn't work, if anything you felt nothing but shame.. You're worrying Mammon over a silly dream that just gave you goose bumps. That's all. Right?
Just the thought of Mammon making fun of you, or talking down on you because you're letting a dream keep him away from his night full of fun or, aka..gambling. It made your lip quiver, eyes filling with pinpricks of tears that kept expanding with each stupid thought. To your disadvantage, Mammon hasn't stopped studying your face and of course catches those tears of yours.
" H-Hey hey! What's with the tears, MC? I-if somethin's the matter, you can tell me, okay? I'm here for you! Ya know that.." By the looks of it, Mammon looked as if he was going to start crying himself. Just by the sight of you in distress. What a way to be guilt tripped.
Without wanting to see him start blubbering too, you begin telling him about the the events that led up to now. The dream that had made you so upset. He listened, nodding as you explained the events of your night horror.
" Really? So that's what has ya all upset and cryin'? " He had a funny smile on his face, but to you it didn't seem funny.. What was he gonna do now? Make fun of you? Call you silly? Instead. He pulled you into a tight hug.
" Don't ya worry, MC, it's alright. We all have bad dreams here n' there. If you're ever lookin' for someone to hold ya tight you know m' always here for ya! " He was all smiles and rosey cheeks now. When you hugged back, his whole world lit up with fire works.
" H-hey..since it's already this late..mind if I camp here with ya tonight? Just d-dont tell Lucifer. Not that I'm scared of him or anything! I just.. don't feel like bein' strung upsidedown by my ankles again.."
Leviathan
You haven't been able to sleep well for days, no matter what. Those nightmares were making it hard for you. It made it worse when you felt as if you had no one to talk to about what's bothering you.
You hated to be alone, but at this time in the morning you'd figure that everyone would be asleep by now. Well, except for one person in particular. You knew he was wide awake due to the fact of..
" Ha! You're so slow bro! Lol! Keep up with the raid you noob! " That voice belonged to non other than Leviathan himself, the third born. Avatar of envy and the king of Otaku-ness.
You leave your room and go out into the hallway, making your way to Levi's room. Upon arrival, you didn't knock, you just walk in and made yourself at home. Taking a seat next to the introverted rugrat, he nearly jumped out of his skin after realizing you were there.
Levi turns his microphone off, thumbs never leaving his controller. " H-Hey mc..what are you doing awake? W-wanna play mononokes island after I'm done? " You didn't say anything, just shrugged. Probably because you were too tired to care, but nOt being alone made it better?
He could see something..he wasn't actually sure what it was..but Levi could tell that there was something wrong with you. Maybe it was your current quiet, slumped self, perhaps it was the bags under your eyes and the look that was displayed in your face. Normally nothing could get in-between Leviathan and his games, but sometimes you have to make exceptions, right?
He couldn't pause his game, so he just let it run. Without him. He even set his headphones aside. Yeah, you knew he was serious now.. " L-Look MC..I know somethings wrong with you..If you want..you can always tell a fellow anime lover what's wrong? " That was basically his way of pleading with you, begging to be told why you're acting so.. quaint..
Yet again you sigh as a response. What did Levi know about bad dreams? All he thinks about is Ruri-Chan..{Then again if he had a dream about Mammon's head with Ruri-Chan's body, I'd be concerned for him and also jealous..}
" Well, there's a reason for you being awake, right? It means you couldn't sleep..That's because you were thinking about my ...," Levi mimicked the movements of drumsticks playing. "Band new game that just got delivered from Akuzon! Right!? You totally wanna play right!? " When you left him nothing but a shrug and silence, It was over for you.
"Look y-you n-normie! I'm talking to you! You can't just ignore me.. L-Like how the Lord of Corruption ignored the Lord of Shadows! So.. t-tell me what's wrong..true friends always tell each other what's wrong.." You couldn't take it.. automatically spilling the beans when he gives you that little pout. You tell him what's making you have a hard time, the dreams that get worse each night..how they haunt you.. and well He Snorts. "Lol! You let a dream keep you awake? Have you even watched that anime called, 'My best friend who lives under my bed is secretly a murderer who hunts down my family until I'm the last one left' ? That one would give you absolute terror "
It sorta makes you mad, how he just disses you like that and returns to his game talk without thinking about anything else. But in this case, he's still looking at you, studying your facial expressions. "Hm.. it scared you.. didn't it, MC? I-Im sorry.. I..I have them too sometimes..But don't tell my anyone else any of that!!" You rolled your eyes, but at least that was something more than just a shrug. "..L-Look..I know it might have been scary..b-but I will protect you like the Lord of Corruption protects the Lord of Fools whenever he is..well..Foolish! Heh"
You smile at him, but you didn't know that you actually gave him a heart attack.. To see your true smile, the sparkle in your eyes..the love, the laughter.. His cheeks couldn't get any hotter, you could cook an egg on them.
Because he knew that he was the reason why you were happy again, and it made Levi so flustered. It made him happy to know that you truly trusted him and you let him comfort you. "H-here..let's skip the raid..j-just this once.. we'll play together to ease your mind!" Welp you agreed to play, but that didn't last but another 12-15 minutes. You fell asleep on his shoulder, and he fell asleep with his head resting against yours. Your lullaby was Leviathans online friends screaming over his microphoned headset, probably wondering if Levi died because he hadn't returned.
Satan
Tossing.. Turning.. whimpering..your body made a multitude of movements and noises while reacting to your not so fun dream. Oh yeah, and crying. You wake up crying, feeling how the warm liquid just trickles down your cheeks and onto your blanket.
Whatever just happened felt so.. vivid..so lifelike.. For a moment there, you thought it was your new, twisted reality. It only takes a few short moments before you realize that you're indeed in your bed. That you were fine, even though your heart was pounding with a speed so great, and your nerves were combobulated.. You try to roll over and sleep again.
Surprise, Surprise.. You couldn't. Right now your body is so stressed out, your senses are uneven, sleeping was NOT an option for you at this moment. There was no point in laying in this bed if you couldn't sleep..but where would you go at a time like this? Ah, of course. Somewhere you found peaceful, and thought no one else would be in there. The library, and that's where you head to, trying to be as quiet as you can to avoid being caught.
Once you're in the library, eyes scanning for something to read to pass the time before morning.. something tells you that you aren't alone...but..who or what else could it b- " Oh? hello there, MC. I see you're also a fan of late night reading? " The unexpected voice belonged to Satan, he was sitting on the couch with his face barely seen behind the book he was reading. " Or did you come here for my sake? That's sweet.. I could use your company "
It was cute, how satan could be an absolute ass hat sometimes {especially to big brother Luci'} But he also had a secretive soft side that just wanted hugs and to feel loved. You gladly take a seat next to him, grabbing a random book that you just found, and pretending to read it. Your brain was too tired to comprehend the words, so you just sat there acting as if you were interested in the book.
Satan may be the sin of wrath, but he's also a very good detective. {Thanks to The Mid-Fall Murders} He was practically choking on the amount of negative energy that seeped from you. "You know. I'm starting to believe that you didn't come here just for some reading.." Wh!- he already has you figured out!? That didn't take long.. "What's the real reason that you're here, MC? Because I know it's more than just not being able to sleep." As he spoke he book marked his page, setting the book in his lap so he could see your face.
It had to be Satan, it just had to be Satan, didn't it?. Not like you had a problem with him..it's just..He can be intimidating okay? Especially right now, when he's being serious and determined to get an answer from you. You try explaining that it was just a dream you had, but Satan didn't give you time to finish. " A dream you say? I believe I have some books about dream meanings ..Would you like to borrow it? It didn't happen to.. involve a bird hitting your window, did it? "
Ignoring his nerdy question, your mind travels back to the semi-realistic dream that felt as if it were conjured in the gates of hell. You tried to explain but..it just bothered you.. Satan respected your boundaries, putting his hand up as a sign for you to stop talking. " I don't need to know if you're uncomfortable with telling me. I understand, MC. "
You're thankful that he didn't try to pry anything from you, that he had the right amount of respect for you. " It's a foreign feeling, isn't it?..You're scared in a house that's not your own, surrounded by people who aren't your exact family.." His voice lowered, almost as if he could feel your pain. "MC..you know that I accept you, correct?..I trust you..I understand something is bothering you, and I just want you to know that I will always be here for you to talk to.."
By the time he was done with his statement, you weren't the only one with cheeks that were darker than Diavolo's pant suit. His words filled your heart with pure bliss and they were important. You needed to hear that, especially from someone like Satan. He hugged you tightly, and you might've hugged back a little too hard. Satan laughed through his speech, making it a little hard to understand at first. "H-Hey M-MC! eheheasy there! Are yohou trying to squeeze the devil outta me? "
You both sat there in the comfort of each other's silence, you being snuggled on Satan's chest. " Do..do you want me to read for you? I can read you this new one I found. It's about an angel who loses his title of being the most respected, he falls out of line with the others and they banish him from their realm" {sound familiar?} Of course he would ask you a book related question, but actually that didn't sound so bad at the moment. You nod, and he happily begins to read.
You lay on his chest, his soft voice spewing out words that you didn't care about. Page after page, Chapter after chapter, you fell asleep within one of those, and eventually he did too. The book slid from his hands, falling into his lap where it stayed upsidedown. You two were a disheveled mess that would eventually be found by someone else in the morning.
Asmodeous
It had came up in a conversation, Asmo asking if you've been taking care of your skin. He noticed a purple tint under your eyes, which made him nearly faint. "What's with this discoloration my dear?" He tried to clean it with a damp towelette, hoping that it was just eye liner or something. When it wasn't coming off, you knew Asmo had a very sharp bone to pick with you.
" MC! You very well know that perfect skin is important, but yet you aren't taking care of yours. Why is that?" At first, you weren't really sure what to say. Watching him move amongst his room in search of some sort of beauty product that you knew he was going to lather you in. " Let's see..Ah here it is, this cream is one of a kind~ I managed to purchase this from a young witch I knew, she said it's purpose was for those certain day's where you didn't feel like yourself.. Of course she was referring to me~, but I'm sure it will do wonders for you also!"
While applying the cream to your face, Asmodeous was talking a storm on how to keep yourself looking absolutely immaculate at all times. Telling you how hard it is to be the most beautiful thing that ever came to the Delvildom. It might've been the countless nights of poor sleep, or the fact that Asmo just had to make everything about himself. Perhaps a mixture of both? You yawn, the sudden change in position accidentally made him smear cream on your shirt.
" Oh my! I'm so sorry, MC! I shouldn't be keeping you up at such a late hour! Here I am lecturing you about healthy skin when I'm not even letting you get your beauty sleep." He whined while cleaning the smeared cream from your clothes.
" You're awfully tired.. usually you tend to stay up longer. Is something the matter, sweetpea? " You tell him it's nothing big it's just that you've been having some awful dreams lately, and it's just harder to sleep at night. You tried making it seem as if it wasn't a big deal, but this is Asmo you're talking to. " Nightmares? Aww, my poor little kitten..if you've been having such trouble sleeping then you should've came to me! My arms are always open for you, MC. No matter the time~"
Asmodeous's words made you feel special, made you understand that there are people who care, you always had a place to go. You smiled at him, which made him giggle. It was getting pretty late, and it was also a school night. But you weren't ready to leave quite yet, you didn't want to be alone. Your feelings were expressed through your features and your body language. Which Asmo paid attention to.
" If you're not wanting to go to bed yet.. I suppose we can stay up a little bit longer? Or better yet, let's have a slumber party! Right here in my room, does that sound fun?" You agreed, anything was better than trying to sleep right now. " Oh perfect! Wait here while I go gather some things~ " He picked up a basket and left you in his room, it wasn't very long before he was on his way back. Infact, you could here how fast he was sprinting through the house because he was so excited.
" I've got some snacks, and a movie that I borrowed from Lucifer. Don't tell him though. " He winked at you, sitting his basket down on his bed, then going over to his vanity and make up drawers. "What should we do first, MC? Ooh! Let's re-paint your nails! I'm thinking..silver and white? No..Navy blue and pink? What would you look like with this on?" It was hard for Asmodeous to contain just how happy he was to spend time with you, his arms full of nail polish and make up brushes.
The whole night, Asmo never once asked for the details of your nightmare. That's because he trusted you, he knew that if something really did hurt you, you'd tell him. He knows you wouldn't just lie to him inorder to pacify him. Hell, the boy is staying up way late, ignoring his constant reminder of beauty sleep. He's doing this for you, doing everything in his power to ensure that you're happy and safe.
It's hard to tell how long you guy's actually stayed up, getting little to no sleep was a first for Asmodeous. But he enjoyed your company, the things you talked about, your time.
However.. Lucifer might've had to drag you two out in the hallway the next morning. Way early in the morning too, before anyone else was awake. Specifically to give you and Asmo a three and a half hour long lecture about what not to do on school nights.
After that night, you started to hang out with Asmo as much as you could. You really did owe it to him after all..at least that's what you felt. The guy {according to Asmo himself} nearly ''ruined'' his perfect complexion due to lack of sleep. He didn't say that around you.. But deep down, it didn't bother him at all. All that mattered to him was of course his precious appearance, but your smile as well.
Beelzebub
It's so wonderful isn't it.. such wonderful hours.. Surrounded by nothing but a thick blanket of quietness and the dark.
Perhaps if you were in a different position? Hm..no.. What about one like this?..No That's not it either.. Well I guess it wouldn't matter what position you tried falling asleep in, nothing's going to work. Why? you think. It could be that you've been having trouble with home sickness, or maybe the fact you've been having nightmares? Or it could be weird sleeping in someone else's house..maybe it's a little bit of erythang.
You couldn't just sit there, you had to do something.. anything to free your mind away from the thoughts which were coursing through your head like a train. All of a sudden there was a loud clash from downstairs, some hurried footsteps, and several hushed curses. What better way to ignore your thoughts! With the quickness of a wobbly chicken, you jump from your bed and make it downstairs. Once there, you start looking for any signs of life. That's when you hear a bit softer clink or two coming from the kitchen. You walk up to the door way, peaking your head around to see who it may be.
" This is so good..mmph.." *munch munch* "I hope Levi won't be upset at me...oh well.." *casual nom nom* That muffled voice was unsurprisingly Beelzebub, who was currently having the time of his life since he got ahold of Levi's Limited edition Ruri-Chan Mochi bites. " What's that up there? Huh.. Lucifer hid some celestial realm cookies up here?" *Long sniff* " Wait..this is Luke's cooking! " You couldn't help but watch Beel chow down a whole cookie jar- that most importantly belonged to Lucifer. Wonder what that fight would look like..
You greet him in your own way, with either a 'hi' or a 'wassup'. In all honesty, it doesn't matter how you greet Beel. Because you just scared the shit out of him. " mm..these are so deli- AwAuagH!? M-MC!? Oh..you nearly gave me a heart attack, I thought you were Lucifer." The 'BFG' smiled down at you, a laugh is in his voice. " You can't just walk up on a demon like that!..I could've eaten you..or something." Thanks to you, he was now covered in crumbs {more than usual}, surrounded by dropped food {due to the startle} with a very faint blush plastered to his cheeks. It was cute how he nearly looked like a child who was caught red handed with his hand in the cookie jar. Literally.
You now walk fully into the kitchen, standing beside the overly tall orange tree of a demon. He was still happily eating whatever he could shove in his mouth, and well you? You were just silent and moped around. Beel couldn't help but watch you from the corner of his eye, if anything your vibes made him feel uneasy. He's not used to late night company when he's in the process of devouring things, so he wasn't sure how to conversate with you. " Are you alright there, Mc? Want to help me cook something? " Of course Beel out of all people would want assistance cooking at a time such as this. You shake your head no, and he grunts. ' What's wrong with this human? Why are they so quiet? Is it broken? Forgotten to eat today!? ' So many things were racing through poor Beelzebubs mind.. infact, for some reason..it makes his stomach upset.
Beel sighed, placing his hand on his stomach while the other put down the cookie jar. " Hmm.." he sighed in pure discomfort. Beel wasn't one for small talk, he's never been that way, neither has Belphie. Sure they loved to go on and on about the things they were passionate about, but whenever it was something uncomfortable or confusing- they'd just leave it to the breeze or tried to give a okay-ish response. They gave their own opinions and responses mentally. Twin like twin.
" What's wrong? " The only response he received was the flatly hushed words of '''a nightmare.''' He nods with a grunt. Oh but how he knew all too well what that felt like..And he's just, stuck; He wants to help you, trust me- he loves you, you're his family. Seeing you in your current state makes him so worried, the only thing he can do is.
Put his hand on you shoulder, look into your eyes, take a deep breath, and smile. There was sadness glistening in his eyes despite that beautiful simper . " You know, after the war.. Belphie had trouble sleeping.." He looked away from you, the floor seemed to be more comforting. "He would tell me..that Lilith was always in his dreams, calling out for him..but her voice wasn't the same..he said she sounded hurt or scared. W-when he found her..he was...too late. Each and every time..he was too late..too late to say 'goodbye', too late to say 'I love you'."
His grip on your shoulder wasn't tight, it was shakey, shakey and heavy. The sin of gluttony pulled you in his arms, engulfing your frame within his. " When he told me..he would always sob and try to wipe his tears away, but no matter how much he wiped them..they never stopped coming." It wasn't normal for Beel to spew out a million words at once, but he was trying all he could to relate with you. To tell you that he understood.
" I made Belphie promise me, that whenever he had a bad dream, or felt down, to tell me..and I would hold his hand until he fell asleep. I would like to make that same promise with you, MC. I want you to promise me? Please?"
That night a promise was made, a promise that would ensure that- not only would MC tell Beel, but Beel would also tell MC. They promised each other, that no matter what- one will always be there for the other.
Belphegore
Sleep, one of life's most cherished things. The way it rejuvenates your body and mind..Aha, wrong. Sleep is not your friend right now, sleep wants nothing to do with you . You two are officially enemies, it's already set in stone.
Infact, sleep hates you so much, that when you manage to get the slightest amount of shut-eye- you wake up 2 minutes later, panicked with fresh adrenaline. Which, news flash! Does not. Help with. Your issue. The nightmares start affecting your daily life, your school, your thoughts. It's apart of you, and it's very obvious that you're struggling with something. But at this current moment you tried to forget about it- because you, Beelzebub, and Belphegore were in the attic, enjoying a..snack/nap/movie time thing? It's a work in progress okay-?
The three of you surrounded by muffled munching, faint voices from the t.v, and Belphie's light snores. It was comforting..it was nice. Your eyes fluttered to a close, drifting off..and off. That is until the loud noise of..laughter erupted from someones pocket, it was just enough to annoyingly jerk you from slumber land. The source of the noise was Beels D.D.D, his ringtone was Belphs' laugh- which according to Mammon, was a very rare song to Beels' ears.
Apparently Beel had to head out, which now leaves just you and the sleepy meat Oreo. However, things are quiet again, and you eventually find yourself in a slightly deeper sleep than before. Oh but remember Sleep? Yeah, so um, they present you with a lovely dream called.
'- MC loses everyone they love to a soaking wet sloth who can travel at a rather high speed.-' it wasn't as scary as your previous ones, bit you still woke with a gasp and flinched movement. "Huh? Did I startle you, MC? I'm sorry for waking you " Your eyes meet with the smaller twins' pinky-purple orbs that seem to look fretful. You try to shrug it off by telling him it was just some bad dream, that it was okay because you were used to them.
" Bad dreams? I know what that's like. " Belphegore said before plopping his head back onto his cow speckled pillow. " Sometimes they're so real.. sometimes they range from okay to just..not right " he groaned, hands coming up to cover his face. " And on bad nights it's like I'm cursed to relive the past over and over again.. " You sighed and looked down, between the odd aura radiating from Belphie and your tiredness- Everything seemed.. dull?
" So what was your dream about? " His voice chirped through the thicCc atmosphere. Your dream? You couldn't really think of exactly one, seeing that there was many, each as horrible as the other. But you do explain how the dreams have been bothering you from a day to day basis.
Listening to your every word until the very end, and then he hums. Giggles. Then finally sighs. " Beel had me make up a silly promise with him, just because my dreams got so bad.." Belph paused, looking you in the eyes. " He was always there before..and then the..well. " His eyes roamed around the entirety of the attic. " I hated to worry him..and..I hate when you worry me. "
Everything was quiet again, even the T.V sounded muffled. Yet through the blanket of dysphoric silence, there was sniffles. Arms within oversized jacket sleeves reach for your hands. Teary glazed eyes piercing your soul to it's very core. Belphegores' expression was a mix of many, however they were unidentifiable. " Ever since you've been here, those hellish things haven't been bothering me as much..I think you're responsible for that..."
A blush rose under the tear stains on his cheeks, arms still curled around yours in an effort to keep you close to him. Whether you accept his body leaning on yours or not, he still cuddles up to you. "You know, I wouldn't mind if Diavolo kept you here a little longer! " He laughed louder than before, making you realize that Mammon and Beel where both right. That not so common smile, that rare laugh, the way his nose scrunches up when he giggles, even the way he blushes through his own tears. Everything about this sleepy demon made you fall in love with him more and more.
The movement of his frame trying to curl in the lao of yours awoken you from your thoughts. As the two of you lay in each others hold, it's like walking into a different dimension.. Peace has finally been made with you and sleep. Sleep loves you now, it welcomes you with open arms. The safe, secure feeling is back- allowing you to practically pass out alongside Belphie.
Oh how the brothers would be so coveted if they saw the pair of you.
Okay so me and @data-datum came up with new stuff in PV! I don't think Satan would have time to torture all the sinners by himself so,,, We made 7 demons based on 7 deadly sins! I made 5 of them, and Charlie made 2 of them. There are my ones! I probably will draw Charlie's soon. Anyway, these demons torture the sinners based on what bad things they have done in their life. But when they're not working- They're super wholesome and help people! I'm gonna write more about them in their toyhouse pages after I'll make full designs for them! For now, feel free to ask me stuff about them!
Another thing is that- Since Charlie is a co-creator of Purple Vendetta, I'm going to make toyhouse pages and refs for other his characters in my story, just like I did with Keith!
