• a/n : HERE I AM , It's nothing too romantic, it's just Simeon and Solomon comforting you while having feelings for you since I focused on writing about the new routine and how MC is trying to heal - and they manage to ! (with only the Purgatory Hall people (¬`‸´¬))

It has been two days since you moved from the House of Lamentation to Purgatory Hall after letting Belphegor out of the attic and him murdering you. Diavolo and Barbatos talked with Simeon and they decided that it would be safer for you to move in with the other exchanged students and go no contact with the brothers until you got better. When the news arrived to the brothers' ears tho they were not happy about it, they basically freaked out. arguing non stop with Diavolo about leaving you to stay at the House with them or at least let them visit you — not even caring about your opinion, but eventually after Barbatos explained your current situation they accepted it, wanting you to get better.

You didn't mind the life in Purgatory Hall. It was a new routine and a big change in your everyday life but at least your days were quiet and calm — something that lacked in the HoL and that you apparently needed badly judging by the drastic lowering of your stress. You were very silent but nobody pushed you to speak, they simply took care of all your needs. Simeon more than anyone, he always kept an eye on you and he was the one who let you sleep on his bed when you had nightmares about that day, comforting you until you fell asleep. He has been helping you these past two days but it's not like the others didn't do anything: Solomon stayed home with you and helped you around the house while Simeon and Luke went to RAD and Luke cooked you lots of sweets and even your favourite dishes — learning humans' dishes just to help you feel better. All of them tried their best to help you through this moment without asking or pressuring you into doing anything.

You were currently sitting on the bathroom counter, right next to the sink while Simeon gently applies a lotion on your neck to help ease the pain from the bruises Belphegor left on you. His eyes were gentle as he focused on applying the lotion without hurting you by accident, so focused that he did not even notice Luke quietly sneaking in, his eyes full of worry — he hates seeing you hurt — he walked next to Simeon and took your hand:"How are you feeling? I made some sweets if you want!" He offered, clearly trying to cheer those dead looking eyes up. His eyes full of hope and worry as you squeezed his hand and when Simeon stepped back, allowing you to look down at Luke you smiled gently at him:"I'm feeling better" You whispered and patted his head. At those simple and low words he almost jumped in excitement, it was the first time you spoke since you got there:"That's amazing! Do you wanna go eat something when Simeon is done??" He asked eagerly but Simeon talked before you could:"After I'm done we need to meet Lord Diavolo and Barbatos in the living room so I don't think MC can hang out with you, but maybe when we're done with the meeting they can go with you if they feel like it" Simeon added the last suggestion with a soft smile, making Luke nod and accept the situation way faster than usual — after all Simeon had this special power when he talked that could make anyone calm down.

"Okay!! Well, see you both later then!" He happily left, glad he could hear you speaking and smiling at him after seeing you being so down and dead for the past two days. Simeon turned to you, going back to apply the lotion on your bruised skin:"Diavolo and Barbatos asked to have a meeting when we're done here but if you don't feel like it feel free to go to your room, or mine, They'll surely understand" You nodded and waited patiently for him to finish.

When Simeon was finally done Diavolo and Barbatos were already in the living room chatting with Solomon. You both left the bathroom and walked in the living room. As you entered Diavolo's lips curved up in a gentle smile, his eyes full of sympathy due to your current situation, Barbatos despite trying to keep his composure let a small sigh of relief when he saw you, your behaviour was way more relaxed in confront two days ago when Barbatos was trying to help you and you literally crawled away in terror. And now you sitting next to Simeon while holding his hand gently due to being nervous, fidgeting with his hand and waiting patiently for them to talk:"How are you feeling, MC?" Diavolo's tone was gentle as he was trying to be extra careful to avoid scaring you away. You looked up at him nodding silently and he just nodded back, understanding that it was going better:"I'm glad you're feeling better… As for the current situation, we will not let anyone in the Purgatory Hall or anywhere near you without your clear consent. Not even contact through D.D.D., we want to ensure you a complete and stress free recovery" He explains carefully, you just nod before whispering:"How are the brothers" Your tone barely audible but Barbatos was able to hear:"The brothers do miss you but they understand your needs, they keep insisting on visiting you but we will not let them anywhere near you until you're okay with it. Not even Lucifer." Barbatos tone was strict as he talked about the brothers, you could understand by his exhausted tone how many times they've probably begged him to see you.

You nod silently, appreciating their work to keep you away from the brothers until you feel better. Simeon's hand which was still in your hands suddenly squeezed your hand as he kissed your forehead:"Me and Luke will bring you and Solomon lesson notes until you feel better to come back to school. Do not rush though, we're here to assist you no matter what so please just focus on recovering" He whispered to you, stroking your hand gently and making Barbatos's smile twitch in jealousy unlike Diavolo who was just smiling at the adorable display in front of him:"Well! We're done here! If you have anything feel free to ask or else we'll be on our way, we still have few meetings to attend to before dinner" Diavolo jumped on his feet, his energetic behaviour back in his body as you simply smiled, not wanting to ask anything else. And like that they both left.

"Wanna go hang out with Luke now?" Solomon asked, turning to you as you smiled and nodded:"Sure, we're baking right?" You ask with a low tone, surprising Solomon whose eyes widen in shock but he quickly smiled, glad you felt safe enough to speak up with them:"He's in the kitchen thinking what to make for dinner" He chuckled, knowing Luke is probably stressing himself out to please your taste. You went to the kitchen finding Luke baking already, when he noticed you his eyes shined and a big warm smile appeared on his lips:"Hey MC!! I was baking this new cake Barbatos taught me yesterday afternoon, wanna help?" He looks at you hopefully and when you nod he almost cheers out loud. And like this you both spent the rest of the afternoon baking a cake and making dinner for everyone.

While you and Luke were having fun in the kitchen Solomon, still sitting on the armchair, looked over Simeon, who was also still sitting on the couch, his eyes full of hope:"So now they're even talking? They're getting better faster than I thought" "Yes, but only with us, it's still a little complicated the situation with the brothers — Simeon replies and sighs before continuing — I hope they'll get better soon, I hate seeing them like this… they look so scared most of the time…" Solomon cut in:"Not to mention they're so quiet and hesitant" Simeon nodded and they both shifted the conversation back to casual topics while waiting for dinner.

After dinner Luke went to bed, leaving you Solomon and Simeon cleaning dishes in the kitchen:"It was very good the dinner, you and Luke really outdid yourselves" Solomon complimented while passing you the dry plates to put away while Simeon silently washed the dishes. You chuckled:"Well, Luke did most of the work, I just helped him with small things and talked" Simeon smiled at your comment:"I mean, emotional support is still a job that should not be underestimated, some people suck at it…" He points at Solomon with his eyes, making you laugh quietly:"HEY! Don't you think I didn't notice you! — Solomon protested — And I am very good as emotional support when I want! Ask MC!" You raised your hands:"Don't drag me in your bickering" You tried to defend yourself, stepping back as if someone had just accused you of doing something bad. Solomon stared at you as if you had just backstabbed him and Simeon laughed.

Later on you three sat on Simeon's bed, gossiping and laughing together, Simeon was spilling the tea going on at RAD and you were all laughing at the chaos happening, light and stupid things obviously — nothing too important just to keep your mind off everything that you've been going though. You eventually fell asleep, Simeon laid you down on his bed gently as he then sat next to you, stroking your hair, Solomon chuckled, getting up from the bed and kissing your forehead before waving at Simeon — see you tomorrow! — He silently mouthed while leaving the quiet room. Leaving Simeon and you alone in the dark room.

"Goodnight" He whispered, laying down next to you and pulling the blanket over the both of you. His hands slowly setting on your thighs to avoid accidentally touching your aching back and as soon as he touches you you unconsciously move closer to press your body against his. His heart beating faster at your action but he simply nuzzled onto your shoulder and fell asleep.

The next morning Simeon and Luke had to wake up early for school, leaving you alone with Solomon. You slowly woke up at the noise of heavy footsteps approaching you and when you opened your eyes you find Solomon gently placing a tray on your lap, when he noticed you opening your eyes he smiled gently:"Good morning, Luke made you breakfast before leaving and insisted for me to give it to you and not make you more things to eat to avoid overwhelming you" He commented before kissing your forehead and sitting on the edge of the bed. You slowly started to eat, pancakes with honey were carefully laid on the plate next to a steaming cup of milk, you couldn't wait to eat everything up.

Maybe living in Purgatory Hall wasn't that bad, especially when you were taken care of so well by all of them.

"Simeon also told me to apply lotion to your neck when you're done eating" He started to yap, looking around the room before his gaze fell on you:"Wanna do it in the bathroom? I fear that if I accidentally dirty anything in Simeon's room he'll punish me…" He rubs the back of his neck awkwardly, clearly scared of Simeon's angry side — kinda like everyone. You chuckled at his fear:"We can go to the bathroom don't worry, but if you were so scared then why bringing me breakfast to bed?" You curiously asked but he simply sighed:"Well the breakfast was made by Luke so Simeon gave me permission to let you eat here… but for the lotion he said to use the bathroom since it stains" You nodded, understanding the situation as you slowly got up, almost over as you only left one slice that you offered to him.

Solomon realised what you were trying to do and with a simple chuckle he firstly refused but you insisted. After three times of you insisting he finally ate it without complaints and as soon as he finished it he took your hand, pulling you up and scooping you up in his arms:"Well, happy now? Can we go put on the lotion? I can see the pain in your eyes" He tried to tease you but you heard the underline of seriousness in his tone. You didn't complain, you let him carry you in the bathroom and place you on the edge of the sink. His hands holding your hips as he studied your neck and mumbled to himself:"The healing process it going well, it won't take long before it stops hurting both the neck and back" He nodded to himself and picked up the bottle of lotion sitting on the nearby shelf. He walked back to you and started to apply the lotion gently, his rough and cold hands were now being gentle while applying the freezing lotion on your bruises, and he was fast too! In less than 2 minutes he was already done.

"Wanna raise your shirt or can you do it on your own?" He asked, meaning for your back bruises and you simply stood up, turning around and raising the back of your shirt just to expose your back to him where a big red line spread from the nape of the neck to down the lower back meanwhile the whole back was pretty red too. At the horrific sight his hands clenched into fists from anger but he quickly suppressed it and went to work, putting the lotion on your skin and giving you a lot of relief from the constant pain:"Thank you" You whispered while pulling down your shirt but when you did he just spun you around and hugged you, avoiding touching your neck and back:"I'm sorry I wasn't there" He mumbled — feeling guilty about not being able to prevent this, prevent you getting hurt by those demons…

"It's okay… You weren't even there…" You whispered and as soon as he heard you he realised what he has done: Thinking about what happened is probably difficult for you right now and bringing it up just to let out his guilt and regret when you were the one who suffered the most was just selfish of him:"Fuck, I'm sorry… let's change the subject shall we…" He looked away awkwardly before you sighed:"So, you mentioned a good TV show yesterday night, wanna go watch it now? I can make the popcorn" You offered, wanting to just have a quiet and relaxing morning of binge watching with the sorcerer. He looked at you with a big and happy smile at your offer, immediately grabbing your hand and bringing you to the living room:"Sure! And don't worry I can make the popcor—" "NO! I-I mean… No worries! I wanna make them! You know — you chuckled embarrassed and panicked at the thought of him cooking — Luke taught me a new way of making them so I wanted to try, just put the show on the TV, It won't take long I promise" You shut him off and walked to the kitchen before he could protest.

As the white haired man watched you go in the kitchen a smile tugged at his lips, seeing you this lively was a good sign of healing and he couldn't be happier than he is right now. Knowing you trust him enough to let him see you at your worst and still smile to him… He really was whipped wasn't him? Well, it's not like Simeon or Barbatos are any better…
