Not so much a fic request as much as wanting to ramble some angst to someone, but the idea of the Nightbringer!Brothers confessing their love for the MC who rejects them because their in love/in a relationship with their timelines version of the brother (so either to avoid a paradox or it feels too much like cheating despite being the same person etc etc). This is mostly me thinking about Mammon laying it all out in the open for MC only for them to be rejected, leading him to double down on his tsundere shield in the main timeline because he's scared you'll reject him (again). Or something, idk 💦

“so, that’s a no, then?” mammon laughs caustically. “i guess i thought you were feelin’ it too…”
and the worst thing was that you were. you could never stop loving mammon, in any timeline. and that was something you’d done a poor job of hiding. but you couldn’t accept his feelings. not when memories of future mammon, your mammon, played in your head whenever this mammon said something similar.
and you couldn’t bring yourself to lie to him. more than you already had been, that is. so you said nothing. honestly, even if you did have something to say, you’re sure your throat was too clogged up to let words through anyway.
mammon laughs again, the sound slicing into you. “is it solomon? or is is me? am i not good enough for you?”
“it’s not you,” you say, the words coming out as a croak. as much as this hurts him, you’re sure it’s hurting you more. “it cold never be you, mammon.”
“then why?” he demands, but instead of anger, there was only hurt. raw and painful hurt.
“i’m sorry,” you say helplessly. god, you are such a jerk! “i’m so, so sorry, mammon.”
“what are you sorry for?” his voice breaks. “i don’t understand.”
“it’s better this way,” you say, shaking your head. “trust me.”
the tears well up then, and mammon starts, moving to comfort you because of course he fucking is and you spin on your heel, running away before he can touch you. because you’re always running away.
