• a/n : Help idk I wanted to write this and I kinda like it, I will also write one where MC actively snaps at them so yeh, BTW if i missed any important tags let me know please! Hope you enjoy !!

His eyes were locked on your neck, the bruises wrapped around the soft skin bringing back horrible memories from the time he stayed in the attic. His fingers stopped going though your hair as he just quietly stared at those marks that his own very hands left on your skin. He gulps loudly, making you look up at him in confusion by his sudden tense body:"Is something wrong?" You asked with that usual sweet and calm tone:"No, just looking" He replied uninterested but his thoughts were running miles. His eyes staring down at the scars in silence once again.

He sighed and Asmo's voice pulled him out of his thoughts:"Hey sweetheart, I'm going shower" He said looking down at you. As soon as he said that you got up quickly and kissed Belphegor's cheek:"See you later" You whisper before walking out with Asmo. Leaving him sitting there on your bed alone with his thoughts. He sighed, trying to avoid overthinking but it was a clear pattern at this point: You refused to stay alone with him. No matter what. He started to notice two weeks after you both started to cuddle together but now, after three weeks of overthinking he is certain that this is a pattern; You don't want to stay alone with him and his brothers are helping you with this, he doesn't know if this is something that Lucifer demanded to avoid you being in danger or… No it can't be… Or maybe… He doesn't want to believe it might be a possibility.

He looked down at your sheets — they're messy and thrown around on the mattress after you both napped after lunch with Satan sitting on a nearby chair reading quietly. And when you both woke up Asmo came in and stayed — yapping about some new celebrity drama — almost as if they had turns to watch over you and him. To protect you from him. I mean what he has done was horrible but the simple thought of you not feeling safe with him — for how much he knows it's completely valid — he just can't handle it. And the thought of his own brothers having to take turns as if it was a job keeping you safe from him? As if he was some kind of wild animal who was about to snap at any second?

It was humiliating.

It was embarrassing even.

And the fact that he knew they had a reason to do that — that he had a past that is the reason for their behavior. It is just bad-

His body fell on the bed as he laid down, quietly waiting for you to return to the room — probably with someone such as Mammon or Beel. He doesn't mind tho, as long as you feel safe… it was just embarrassing the fact that you needed to feel safe with someone else in the room. Regret eating him alive as he laid motionless on your bed, waiting for your return.

After around 20 minutes you finally returned, your hair still wet as you giggled and ran in the room, running from Lucifer who was trying to scold you for not drying your hair meanwhile he held a towel — trying to catch your head to dry it. Belphie sat up at the noise, looking at you and back at Lucifer who was clearly trying hard to hold back a smile at the amusing situation. He felt a pang in his chest, almost as if he was having a heart attack but it was not one — he knew what that was. It was the realisation that for his past foolish actions he will never have a moment like this with you. A moment when he can just have fun and enjoy himself alone with you without a concern in the world.

"Go dry your hair or I'll put you on the cleaning duty for the rest of the week" Lucifer finally said and the colour drained from your face as your legs moved fast towards the bathroom to go dry them — no WAY you would put yourself through that hell for more than a day per week! — As you left Lucifer turned to Belphie who was watching in silence and probably jealousy:"They'll eventually trust you again, you just need patience" His tone was gentle while he walked to the bed and sat down next to him. Belphie didn't know what to say — last thing he imagined was Lucifer out of all to have this conversation with:"Did they ask you six to stay with them when they are with me?" His tone lacked of any emotion as he stared at the floor of the room, Lucifer sighed and looked around the bedroom:"Yes they did, but I've talked with Solomon and he said that humans can heal from trauma. And that right now they just need time — probably a lot of it — to build back their trust for you, and you need to be patient. So do not rush it, please." His tone was soft, his hand finally reaching out and resting on his shoulder — trying to offer any kind of comfort.

Belphie would be a dirty liar if he said that Lucifer's words and action didn't help him ease the knot in his chest. But he would never admit it out loud anyway. He sighed and nodded, looking up at him but before he could speak Lucifer continued:"What you did is unforgivable… tho I am no one to scold you about this — He looks away before sighing and finishing — But just like me you need to earn their trust back without complaints. It will be hard but after what you've done? After what we've done? We cannot blame them for not trusting us." Lucifer's tone is low but firm, his face dead serious and Belphie simply nods:"I don't plan on giving up anytime soon, I wanna try to make up for what I've done. And I do regret it badly" Belphie replies and at the same time you walked in with your hair finally dry.

His cheeks flushed at the sight of your beautiful smile while you talked with Mammon as you both giggled after putting a cockroach in Asmo's bathroom. Mammon froze when he noticed Lucifer glaring at them — knowing they did something bad — he sighed in exhaustion and was even about to drop it if it wasn't for Asmo letting out a gut wrenching scream coming from his bathroom:"Mammon, what have you done?" He asked annoyed and Mammon simply chuckled nervously before launching to the door, trying desperately to run away from Lucifer's hands:"Oh no no, Come here Mammon!" Lucifer got up and ran after Mammon, leaving you and Belphie alone in the room.

As soon as you realised your body tensed up and your breathing slowly became unsteady, your eyes kept looking towards the door as an awkward and fearful tension set in the room. Belphie could see how uncomfortable you were and he stepped even further away from you, putting even more distance:"I know you're not comfortable being here, I don't mind if you wanna leave" He smiles gently, looking up at you and quickly looking away as he realises that his eyes on you are probably not helping you with the current situation. Your heart felt lighter, the understanding from Belphie was a relief and with a small nod you left the room in silence.

Belphie watched you go, promising himself that from now on he would focus on regaining your trust back — no matter how much it takes. And not by trying to push your boundaries but by giving you time — like any decent person would do.

Will it takes years?

Maybe.

Is he ready to do something that might even not end up with you trusting him again?

Absolutely.

• a/n : Thank you for reading and feel free to leave a like, comment, reblog or even follow! It really motivates me to write more when my works get engagement !! 𖹭

˖᯽ ݁˖ 8th Sibling reader! was closest to Lilith before the fall, with them being the youngest.

˖᯽ ݁˖ Reader had watched Lilith curiosity and love for humanity form in its beginning stages, and soon lead to her death.

˖᯽ ݁˖ Reader who also fought in the Celestial war, and fallen with her brothers. Who still has scars that just wont fade despite her new demonic body,

˖᯽ ݁˖ Reader, who's name was nearly forgotten during the first year post-fall. Being the only sister they had left, the brothers "accidentally" called her Lilith multiple times.

˖᯽ ݁˖ If they called MC Lilith post lesson 16, I headcanon they would do the same thing to Reader during the first year or more after they had fallen. It would lead to more tension, and Reader spiraling. Struggling with their already shambled identity and guilt.

˖᯽ ݁˖ GUILT- girly would feel SO MUCH of it along with the twins. This guilt would lead to some sort of complex, possibly similar to Levi's. Reader would feel that they aren't deserving of good things. I feel as though she would learn to cope over the many many years in The Devildom. However it will always linger, She would make most of her progress with MC.

˖᯽ ݁˖ After some centuries, I think she would cope. Some habits better than others. Slow progress. There would always be some lingering things though, like very self critical thoughts, and nightmares.

˖᯽ ݁˖ Reader would do things such as go sleep with Cerberus, or the twins during bad nights. She would go to Cerberus with treats and a blanket 5 out of 7 times, though. Since she doesn't like Belphie going in her mind (to help stop the nightmares) very much. And Beel already deals with his own, she wouldn't want to add more to that!

˖᯽ ݁˖ Now with MC, reader would make the most progress. Possibly go to like 2-3 therapy sessions (after heavy insistence). Open up a little more during a family discussion /meeting.

˖᯽ ݁˖ When it comes to MC, I'd like to think Reader would be more hesitant to make a pact. Possibly be the last to make one before Lucifer, or just not make one at all. Out of fear of losing yet another person in her life, especially since MC is a mortal/human.

-

These were a little angsty. I want to further develop this idea. Exploring more chaotic/fun dynamics reader has with the others.

Anyways. This was a long, garbage pile of words that probably don't make much sense to anyone else but my silly mind.
