Satan/angst lovers, I got a new idea based on the plot of Devilman Crybaby (so beware of spoilers):

Although I highly recommend watching this series on Netflix if you can handle g*re and s*xual themes (let me tell you this, it was really good), I will do a brief summarization of its plot!

In the end of the Devilman Crybaby series, we learn that Ryo, the childhood friend of the protagonist Akira aka “Devilman”, is Satan. Despite not understanding emotions because he is not human, it is confirmed through the manga that Ryo romantically loves Akira. Satan ends up destroying the world, but in the process, kills Akira as well. It is assumed Satan destroyed the world in order to be alone with Akira, the only human he has grown to care for.(but also because it was his fate since he’s the literal Devil). The viewer learns that Satan’s punishment by God is to be stuck in an endless loop of being reincarnated over and over, only to destroy the planet again and relive the painful realization and truth that his wrath also killed the person he loves.

Now imagine this but through an Obey Me perspective. We place Satan (OM) in Satan’s shoes (Ryo), and MC in Akira’s. Satan is born a human, but is the pure devil on the inside. Early in his human life, he encounters a child around his age, MC. The two start an unlikely friendship, for Satan is incapable of understanding friendliness, love, compassion or empathy, and MC is the complete opposite: caring, selfless, friendly and looks out after him.

As his fate eventually orders it, Satan becomes overcome with such a drive for destruction that nothing or no one can stop him, and through a series of means and events, the world is ultimately set ablaze, and humanity is brought to such madness that nobody shows any care for each other anymore. Only MC tries to stop Satan, despite the danger that is around them with all those bloodthirsty people chasing after them, but in the process and his own wrath-fueled madness, Satan kills them after destroying all humans and leaving Earth engulfed in flames and devoid of life. For the first time in his life, as he cradles them and begs for MC to wake up, to not leave him, Satan experiences his first genuine human emotion, sadness, and finally gets to learn what love really is. Only just too late.

As Satan is left in tears and in grief, the first tears he has ever shed since his birth, God puts an end to the folly that has become humankind, and destroys Earth and its last remaining living being for it to begin anew again. As punishment for destroying his creations, Satan is now fated to live through the same life, with his same friendship with MC, same actions, their same consequences, and the same pain over and over for eternity.

Snippet - Alternatives to “I love you.”

Happy New Year!! Here’s a cute, quick headcanon to start off the year right (and to use the new name headers I made, hehe). Enjoy! =)

What are some phrases the demon brothers use that are their equivalent of saying “I love you,” or “I care about you,” to MC?

• “I suppose I can help you this time.”
• “You’ll always belong to me.”

• “I haven’t gotten enough time with ya today.”

• “This game requires two players, so who better to play with me than you?”
• “Thanks for always sticking with me, even though I’m just a yucky shut-in otaku.”
• “Hey, that new anime you’ve been wanting to see is starting soon, so hurry over here so we can watch it together!”

• “Sure, this character is incredible, but they’re nothing compared to you.”
• “I always feel at ease when you’re here.”
• “Hold on, it could be dangerous, so let me go first.”

• “Let me pamper you today.”
• “I’d normally put myself first, but for you, I can make an exception.”
• “You become more radiant every day.” (which sometimes is followed with: “Not my reflection, silly! You! But, that’s true, too.”)

• “I’ll keep you safe no matter what.”
• “I saved some food for you.”
• “I’ll do my best to wait until you get here, because I’d rather share this meal with you.”

• “Here, I’ll let you use my pillow.”
• “Why would I sleep on a bed when your lap is right here?”
• “Stay here with me a little longer.”

Snippet - Under the Mistletoe with MC

Merry Christmas (Eve)!! As a special gift to you all, and a big thanks for over 550 followers, please enjoy this long snippet with all the characters (minus Luke and the three newest ones) sharing a kiss with MC under the mistletoe! Since each part got pretty long, I broke it up into bullet points for easier reading. I really hope you enjoy this! =) ❤️

How would everyone respond to being under the mistletoe with MC?

It was the holiday season, and after a trip to the human world, Diavolo had enthusiastically decided to celebrate some of its traditions in the Devildom. The festivities were held at the Demon Lord’s Castle, where the interior was decorated with various holiday items that intrigued the demon prince enough to bring back from the human world. MC and Solomon had to explain most of the holiday traditions and the purpose behind the different decorations to the demons and two angel exchange students, but the whole celebration made the two of them feel a little less homesick.

Everything was going well until Luke noticed a sprig of mistletoe hanging from one of the doorways and questioned MC about it. They explained to the innocent angel that there’s a tradition where if two people walk under a mistletoe, then they’re supposed to kiss each other as a sign of love. They asked him not to tell anyone else about the practice, though, since it could cause a stir anytime someone walked under it. Plus, it was just an old tradition, not something anyone had to follow. Luke promised to keep it a secret, but someone else had already overheard their conversation.

Later on, while everyone was opening gifts, MC left briefly to use the restroom. On their way back, they suddenly ran into someone just as they were passing underneath the doorway with the mistletoe. They glanced nervously between the mistletoe and the face of the individual they bumped into.

Lucifer

• Lucifer exhibited his typical serious expression after MC’s bodily impact, but on the inside, he was full of pride by how well everything in his plan had fallen into place. After overhearing MC’s explanation about mistletoe to Luke, he came up with a few ways that he could be alone with the human underneath the mistletoe. Their trip to the restroom worked with one of his ideas, so when he thought MC would be on their way back, he excused himself from the group gift exchange under the guise of “needing some air from all my brothers’ nonsense.” It was shortly thereafter that he came across MC at the exact time they were approaching the doorway with the mistletoe.
• He initially acted oblivious to their nervousness while he explained why he had left the others for a bit, secretly enjoying the look on their face, but he soon pointed out how they kept peeking up above them. Even if MC tried to brush it off, Lucifer was insistent they tell him exactly why they were so distracted by a tiny plant decoration. “Perhaps it has to do with the tradition humans have about kissing underneath one?” he wondered aloud, pleased by their surprised reaction and the blush that followed it when he moved closer to them. “We’ve been following all of the other practices you and Solomon have taught us about tonight, so I don’t see why this should be an exception. What do you think?”
• Once MC consented to it, he added with a grin, “Very well. Consider it an extra gift from me then.” He gripped their chin between his thumb and index finger and placed his other hand on their shoulder to keep them in place as he pressed his lips onto theirs. He let it be known that this was his kiss, asserting the most control during it, although the kiss also revealed how much he had been craving MC’s touch. He broke apart from them a little early just to feel their lips chase after his–well, and also because the last thing he wanted was for Diavolo or someone else to suddenly walk in on the two of them. “Hm? Was that not enough for you?” he inquired, a smirk playing on his lips. “In that case, when we return home tonight, we can continue this in my room. After all, I don’t need to use some plant hanging above us as an excuse to kiss you.”

Mammon

• Mammon also had this encounter planned out, and it surprisingly worked out almost exactly like he wanted it to! He had left the others behind by complaining that MC was taking too long in the restroom and needed to go check on them. Then, he waited near the doorway until he heard them coming. However, he got distracted by a painting on the wall that he thought could sell for a high profit, which caused MC to crash into him.
• He started telling them to watch where they were going but fell short when he noticed their glances at the mistletoe and remembered why he was there in the first place. He cleared his throat and tried to put on his usual bravado, saying, “Well, I’m in a good mood, so I guess I can forgive ya for crashin’ into me. Though, I mean, ya could do somethin’ to make it up to me. Like, maybe…” Now he was the one looking back and forth between MC and the mistletoe, his blush growing more visible by the second. When MC asked him if he knew about the mistletoe custom, he adamantly denied it, his tsundere personality taking over until he finally admitted to overhearing their conversation with Luke.
• He’d gotten himself too worked up now to initiate anything, so MC had to grab his face and give him a quick kiss on the lips. His face could’ve rivaled a ripe tomato with how red it was from the sudden action. “H-Hold on, I was supposed to do that!” he argued, wrapping his arms around MC’s waist to prevent them from retreating. “‘Sides, ya call that a kiss? C’mere, I’ll show ya a real kiss.” Mammon immediately dove in for a long, deep kiss with MC. His greediness for them required him to move one hand to the back of their head to stop them from dipping too far back. He especially enjoyed it when MC returned his energy, making him hold back a bit so they could lead more instead. Once they both broke apart for air, Mammon rested his forehead on MC’s. “I like ya so much it’s crazy, MC,” he murmured. “I just can’t get enough of ya. Let’s stay here a little longer, until my brothers come lookin’ for us. I don’t wanna let ya go yet.”
• (Forget the expensive painting, he definitely stole the mistletoe to make sure no one else could use it to kiss MC–and to keep as a memento…and maybe future use.)

Leviathan

• Leviathan was just as startled as MC when they bumped into each other. He was playing through a limited time holiday event on one of his mobile games and was so absorbed in it that he hadn’t heard the human’s approaching footsteps. In fact, it was because of his inattentiveness and frequent exclamations while playing this game that the others decided to temporarily kick him out during the gift exchange, which left him wandering the halls–still on his phone–until he was allowed to return.
• He began to explain this to MC–and how normies could never understand how important these kinds of game events are to obtain special loot–but got annoyed when their focus kept drifting upward. A strange noise escaped his mouth when he realized they were looking at the mistletoe hanging over both of them, his mind recalling its purpose from MC’s discussion with Luke. He became far more flustered about the situation than the human was. “I-I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to be under the mistletoe with you!” he declared, starting to ramble. “I heard you say it’s a human world thing to kiss someone under it, b-but that’s not why I was here! And, I mean, of course you wouldn’t want to be forced to kiss a yucky shut-in otaku; who could blame you? And honestly, that’s fine, because this sort of thing is totally something only normies would do! Though, I wouldn’t mind being able to kiss y– Gahhh, n-nevermind!! Why are you still standing there anyway?! Shouldn’t you have left by now?!”
• When MC admitted to Levi that they wouldn’t mind kissing him, his face turns an even darker shade of red than it already was. “R-Really?!” he questioned them doubtfully despite feeling on cloud nine from their words. “You want to kiss me? You’re not messing with me, are you? I don’t need your pity, if that’s what this is!” MC had to give him a quick peck on the lips just to prove their sincerity–and shut him up for a bit. Hoo boy, there had to be steam coming out of Levi’s ears from that simple action. Finally convinced that they were serious, he grabbed MC by the shoulders and practically crashed his lips into theirs, for if he took it too slowly, he’d psych himself out and wouldn’t have been able to do it at all. It was a short kiss since he’s inexperienced, and he couldn’t get himself to relax until the last few moments. He then turned away and attempted to hide his bright blush behind the back of his hand. “U-Um, sorry if it wasn’t good,” he apologized meekly. “I would’ve liked it to be more like the ones you see in anime, but– Um– Listen, I really like being able to kiss you, MC, so I promise I’ll get better, okay?”
• (If MC suggests trying again right then and there, he might just collapse. But once he recovers, he’ll go for it.)

Satan

• Satan felt fortunate that he got to learn about an intriguing human world tradition that he could actually use to his advantage over the rest of his brothers. Some time after MC had left for the restroom, he convinced the others that the human may have gotten lost on the way back and that he would go look for them. This plan ended up working since most of his brothers bickered that they should be the one to look for MC while he remained calm and rational (on the outside), which prompted Lucifer and Diavolo to agree that Satan could go find MC. He sighed while walking down the hallway, exasperated from his brothers’ annoying arguments over something so minor, only to accidentally collide with the human he was looking for.
• He apologized to them for his lack of awareness, but they were more concerned with what was above them. He glanced up as well and was somewhat shocked that they both happened to meet up directly under the mistletoe. “Well, isn’t that something?” he noted aloud with a grin. “I was hoping to catch you here, but not quite like this.” When they asked what he meant, he replied, “You see, I just so happened to hear that there’s a practice in the human world where if two people are found underneath a mistletoe, which just so happens to be the plant hanging over our heads, then they must kiss each other. Care to elaborate on the topic?” He laughed lightly at their startled reaction before explaining himself. “I was thinking,” he then said, “since you’re the human world expert, maybe you could educate me on how this custom is done? For the purpose of expanding my knowledge…and having the chance to kiss you.”
• After receiving MC’s approval, Satan rested one hand on their cheek and positioned the other on their waist to carefully bring them toward him. Any frustration he was feeling earlier melted away through their kiss, gradually making his movements even softer. He held MC like they were the most precious object in existence, and in this moment, they made him feel like he was truly his own person–not a fragment of a fallen angel or the embodiment of wrath. Once the kiss was over, he grasped the hand MC had on his face and turned his head to press a gentle kiss to their palm. “I never liked the idea of being vulnerable around others, but with you, MC,” he remarked, “I feel I can let my walls down completely. I hope you can feel the same way with me. Oh, and thank you for this learning experience.”

Asmodeus

• Asmodeus was full of smiles, as MC had fallen right into his trap. He’d kiss himself at how smart he was and how well he timed this, if he could! Well, he could in the mirror, but that would have to wait. “Hi, MC~!” he greeted them cheerfully. “I wasn’t expecting to bump into you here. What are the odds? Perhaps we’re just naturally drawn to each other, hm~?”
• He tried to play innocent, saying he was on his way to freshen up in the restroom, but MC noticed him looking up at the mistletoe more often than they were. Soon enough, he admitted to having heard them talk about the human world tradition of kissing underneath the mistletoe. “I was hoping we could experience this special custom together,” he explained, his cheeks becoming rosy. “So, MC, will you let me kiss you?”
• Once MC gave their consent, he brought his hands to their face and whispered for them to come closer, slowly decreasing the distance between each other until their lips finally touched. The kiss was gentle at first–with Asmo initially taking the lead to test MC’s comfort level–and gradually grew as passionate as MC allowed it. Somewhere along the way, Asmo moved one of his hands to MC’s lower back to ensure they stayed as close to him as possible. Even when they both separated, he kept a firm hold on MC, his thumb stroking their cheek as he studied their expression. “I could kiss you forever and never grow tired of it, MC,” he said, staring deeply into their eyes. “It must be because of how much I love you, and because of how great your love feels whenever I’m with you. …Say, since we’re still under the mistletoe, does that mean we can kiss again? We may as well, right?”
• (He also totally stole the mistletoe later for future use with MC, regardless of what time of year it is.)

Beelzebub

• Beelzebub looked at MC with concern and asked if they were okay after bumping into him. Upon confirming that they were fine, he grinned warmly at them in relief. He explained that he was on his way to the kitchen to find something to eat while Barbatos was distracted with the gifts. He was about to ask MC if they wanted to join him, but he noticed they seemed distracted by something.
• He followed their gaze up to the mistletoe and let out a soft, “Oh.” He then told them that he had heard their explanation to Luke about kissing under a mistletoe, sending a light blush to both his and MC’s faces. “I…want to do that,” he admitted. “With you. Can I, MC?”
• When they agreed, Beel’s expression softened from their words, his lower eyelids wrinkling slightly from the smile that had formed. His hands rested on the human’s shoulders to keep them in place as he leaned in toward them. The touch of his lips on theirs was soft and delicate, revealing his fear that he might hurt them if he wasn’t careful. He felt MC wrap their arms around his neck to pull him closer in order to ease his worries, and he finally began to relax and deepen the kiss. After the two of them pulled apart, Beel had a loving, giddy smile on his face as he gazed at MC. “Your kisses are the best, MC,” he remarked. “They always make me feel full, in both my stomach and my heart.”
• (Even so, he definitely ate the mistletoe before they both returned to the others. Come on, it had berries; how could he resist?)

Belphegor

• Belphegor had actually fallen asleep against the siding of the doorway, only to be woken up abruptly by MC running into him. He was groggy and grumpy at first, but once he heard the human’s voice asking if he was okay and what he was even doing there, he regained his senses. As he straightened his posture, he told them that he was getting bored at the group gift exchange without them around, so he had decided to leave for a bit until they returned but fell asleep along the way.
• There was a mischievous glint in his eyes while he pointed out the mistletoe above them, and a smirk formed on his lips when he noticed them tense in response. “What’s wrong, MC?” he teased, inching closer to them. “You seem kind of worked up about this little bunch of leaves. Is it because the two of us are underneath it right now?” He chuckled at their reaction to his claim and then admitted to overhearing them talk about mistletoe with Luke. “But since we’re here,” he continued, “we may as well kiss, right? I mean, I’d like to anyway, even if there wasn’t a tradition.”
• As soon as MC agreed, Belphie wasted no time in taking a hold of their face and closing the distance between the two of them. The kiss he gives, on the other hand, is slow and a bit lazy–he’d rather have MC do more of the work. Still, he refused to separate himself from them, wanting to draw it out for as long as he could and even taking the lead if MC was nervous or not too experienced. After it came to an end, Belphie smiled in contentment. “That felt really nice,” he noted. “Your kisses seem to give me more energy than a full night’s sleep, MC. Since I’m wide awake now, how about we stay here and kiss some more before we head back to the others?”

Diavolo

• Diavolo quickly reached out to grab MC’s shoulders and steady their balance from their collision into his torso. He fretted over them, worried he may have hurt them, but they assured him they were simply just caught off-guard. He nodded his head at their comforting words and began asking them their thoughts about the holiday party–like he came over just to do some sort of check-in–, but his hands never left their shoulders. MC answered his questions while struggling to make eye contact, too distracted by the close proximity, his grip on their shoulders, and the mistletoe hanging above them.
• Then he asked them about the mistletoe, making their body flinch. “I heard you explaining its purpose to Luke,” he confessed. “When I visited the human world, I thought it was merely a decoration since it was hung in random locations. I never would’ve guessed that there’s a custom involving kissing under it. It’s rather interesting!” His smiling face then became more serious. “Do you practice this tradition, MC? If you don’t mind, I’d like to experience it with you.”
• Once MC agreed, Diavolo’s hands slid up to their jawline while he moved in closer to their lips. His kiss was gentle at first to avoid accidentally hurting the human, but he melted into it on his own as he grew more comfortable. The demon prince was starved for affection, and MC’s matching energy in the kiss made him feel so whole that he had no intention of breaking away until it was necessary. When they did, though, he kept his face close to theirs, the tips of their noses lightly grazing over each other. “I quite like this human world tradition,” he said with a grin. “I’ll have to hang up mistletoe around the castle next year, too. You’ll join me again for the holidays, won’t you, MC?”

Barbatos

• Barbatos responded as any refined butler would: by calmly assessing MC’s condition after they bumped into him. He behaved like his usual composed self, so the human had no idea that he had fully intended to stop them underneath this specific doorway. He explained to them that he was on his way to the kitchen to fetch some more drinks for the guests, which was true, but he made sure to time his exit well enough so that he was more likely to encounter MC on their way back from the restroom.
• Feigning innocence, he questioned MC about the mistletoe hanging above the two of them, his smile growing a little bigger from the blush that dusted their cheeks from his inquiry. He nodded in understanding during their explanation. “So in that case, since we’re both under the mistletoe right now, it’s customary for us to kiss, yes?” he concluded. “If it’s all right with you, I’m more than happy to follow this practice.”
• After MC agreed to it, Barbatos stepped toward them and gently cupped their face. He leaned in with his eyes closed, but he peeked open while his lips ghosted over theirs to observe the look of anticipation on their face. Amused by their expression and reassured that he wasn’t the only one who wanted this, Barbatos finally pressed his lips onto MC’s. Although he initiated it, he gradually followed their lead, not wanting to do anything they didn’t like and continuing until they were completely satisfied. Once they both separated, he looked back at them with a warm smile. “Thank you for this wonderful experience, MC,” he said. “Moments like these that I share with you mean a lot to me. I hope we continue to have many more of them.”

Simeon

• Simeon’s arms wrapped and hovered around MC’s body like a safety net to catch them in case they fell over from the sudden impact. He was just on his way to grab some more cookies that he and Luke had made to share with everyone else, but his mind was too preoccupied with other things to fully pay attention to his surroundings. He was relieved when the human was able to rebalance themselves and avoid getting hurt. He apologized for not watching where he was going while rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly, but he became concerned once again when he noticed that they seemed out of sorts.
• “Are you sure you’re okay, MC?” he inquired, his tone laced with worry. “Are you maybe feeling tired from tonight’s festivities? I could get you some water, or–” MC tried to assure him that they were fine, but when he noticed them take another quick peek at the top of the doorway, he understood what was affecting their behavior. “Ah, it’s the mistletoe, isn’t it?” he asked, relaxing a bit while speaking in a more soothing manner. “I heard you telling Luke about the tradition humans have that involves kissing under it. You also mentioned that it’s not something that has to be done, and I have no intention of kissing you without your permission, so you don’t need to worry about it.”
• However, when MC expressed that they actually wanted to kiss him, Simeon’s eyes widened in shock, not expecting them to say that. Even so, a blush crept on his face at the thought of kissing them and from how happy he felt that they wanted the same thing. After accepting their request, he rested one hand on their cheek and tenderly placed his lips on theirs. The kiss was brief and chaste, as Simeon feared that if he lingered too long, it would become increasingly difficult for him to stop willingly. Despite the kiss only lasting a short time, he poured as much love as he could into it so that MC could get a sense of how deeply he cared for them. Still, just in case his feelings didn’t reach them completely, he told them afterward, “You know you mean a lot to me, right, MC? You always make even the darkest days in the Devildom so much brighter to me, and I want to do whatever I can to keep that smile on your face each and every day. So, even if it’s just a kiss under a mistletoe, don’t ever hesitate to ask me if you want something, okay?”

Solomon

• Solomon had temporarily forgotten about the practice of kissing underneath mistletoe until he heard MC bring it up to Luke. He had disregarded this plant some time ago since it rarely worked well in potions and he didn’t feel inclined to follow this custom from his world that mainly affected couples. However, now that MC was around, the tradition became more appealing to him, so he plotted to get the two of them alone under this mistletoe before the end of the party. Not surprisingly, it was rather difficult, considering MC’s popularity and how possessive the demon brothers were of them. By some stroke of luck, he acquired an opening after MC had left and everyone was preoccupied with a magnificent gift Diavolo had given to one of them, allowing him to easily sneak out. He was a bit early, so he hid near the doorway with the mistletoe until he heard his fellow human’s approaching footsteps. He then popped out suddenly to surprise them, and they accidentally ran into him in the process. He apologized while they tried to regain their composure.
• Half of MC’s attention was already on the mistletoe, but Solomon pointed up to it to let them know he was focusing on it as well. “Are you familiar with mistletoe as a plant?” he inquired. “You may have seen it by itself in public places during this time of year, but in nature, it’s a parasitic plant that primarily lives off of trees. What’s more, every part of it, including its berries, is poisonous to us humans, should we choose to consume it. Though, I’m sure it’d have no effect on someone like Beelzebub.” MC wondered what he was trying to get at, so he resumed, “Anyway, despite this plant’s function in our world, there’s still the tradition where people kiss underneath it and view it as a symbol–or even a blessing–of love.” It was then that he confessed to unintentionally eavesdropping on their earlier conversation with Luke. “If you’re willing, MC, I’d like to follow this little tradition with you.”
• After MC gave their consent, Solomon pulled them closer and tucked a loose strand of their hair behind their ear, his face flushed as he eyed their lips. He then confidently leaned in to kiss them. He was eager to express his feelings for them, and it was a big boost to his ego when the well-liked human reciprocated his kiss; it felt as though they were choosing him over the demons and angels that constantly vied for their attention–that he was able to stand out more to them than those powerful beings. He couldn’t stop his lips from curving into a smile on theirs just before the kiss reached its end. “I’ve met so many other humans in my extended lifetime, but none of them could ever compare to you, MC,” he declared. “If you’ll let me, I’d like to stay by your side and continue to show you my affection like this as often as I can. But for now, let me hold you in my arms a little longer.”

What do the demon brothers do together on a snow day?

There are two activities the demon brothers do as a whole group when there’s been heavy snowfall.  

Thefirst is a snowball fight.  Well, after they drag Lucifer out of the house, anyway.  He’ll be opposed to it, claiming that it’s childish and he has more important things to take care of.  Even so, all it takes is a sudden snowball hit from Mammon (accidental), Satan, or Belphegor for the eldest brother to immediately join in.  His aim is accurate and precise, able to land a hit on any part of his brothers just about every time regardless of distance or their speed.  

Asmodeus is sort of against this whole thing, too, since he doesn’t want to get hurt or wet from the snowballs and risk ruining his skin, or get sweaty from running around, or be out in the cold in general–  Never mind, Mammon’s snarky remarks have Asmo quickly tag-teaming with Lucifer to take down his scummy older brother along with the others.  He’s not the greatest at landing hits, so he gets frustrated easily.  When he starts getting tired, he’ll pause to take pictures in the middle of the fight to post on Devilgram, which is the perfect time for the others to pummel him with snowballs.  

Belphegor normally would prefer sleeping in the warmth and comfort of his bed inside, but the opportunity to attack Lucifer without severe consequences is too good for him to pass up.  He’ll be wide awake in the beginning, partnering with Satan to ambush the eldest brother while also tossing snowballs at anyone who get in his way (except Beelzebub, who’s actually guarding him).  He’s pretty good at successfully hitting his targets, but over time, he’ll lose energy and can barely throw a snowball past his feet.  Soon enough, he’ll be found asleep under a pile of snowballs (or in his tired mind, a snow blanket).

Most would think that Leviathan would rather stay in his room, but when it comes to snowball fights, he’s suddenly more active than usual and full of enthusiasm.  He’ll feel like the RPG and anime characters with ice powers and want to shout out their attacks as he throws snow at his brothers in various–and impractical–ways; the brothers know it’s coming when he calls out, so they typically dodge all of his throws.  Then, he’ll begin rambling about how this fight is just like that one snow day filler episode of an insanely-long-titled anime, which only makes him vulnerable for a snowball onslaught since he’s distracted and none of the brothers really want to listen to him.  Since he’s not used to this much physical activity, he’ll be as exhausted as Belphie by the end of the fight.  

Another very spirited member of this game is Satan, mainly because he’s eager to knock Lucifer down a peg–and down in general with a bunch of snowballs.  Everyone is wary around him because his throws really hurt; he knows the best ways to shape and angle the throws for the most effect (and he might be muttering spells onto the snow before he throws it…).  Also, everyone can sense Satan’s growing wrath each time the eldest brother dodges his snowballs and manages to hit him, making him more of a danger with each passing minute.  Still, most of his aim is directed at Lucifer, so the others only have to worry if they decide to start attacking him.  

But who would be foolish brave enough to throw a snowball at the Avatar of Wrath?  Why, the Great Mammon, of course!  He’s the one who suggested the snowball fight and convinced his brothers to at least come outside with him, so he’s itching to show off his prowess to them.  He’s incredibly skilled when he puts his mind to it, but he prefers to just throw hard and fast without needing to put a lot of thought into it.  He won’t run out of energy either, being constantly agile (from all the times he’s had to run and avoid Lucifer and debt-collectors) and rebuilding snowballs as quick as he tosses them.  He might be having the most fun out of all his brothers, but he’s also the one getting targeted the most aside from Lucifer.

AndBeelzebub?  He’ll start off as a spectator, devouring the snacks he brought outside with him while watching the snowball fight from the sidelines.  When he runs out of food, he’ll consider eating the snow, but Belphie quickly notices that look in his twin’s eyes from afar and warns him not to.  At this point, Belphie gets hit with a snowball since he was distracted by Beel, which is what drives Beel to join the fight.  He’s mostly just protecting his twin, taking every snowball that lands on him like it’s nothing and only tossing one back whenever someone keeps purposely attacking him, which is usually Mammon.  His snowballs aren’t the best since his growling stomach keeps urging him to take a bite out of them (and sometimes he does if Belphie isn’t watching), but his throws are as strong as Satan’s, making him a worthy opponent if he actually participated seriously.

Thesecond activity the demon brothers do together comes right after the snowball fight:  Warming up and chatting together in HoL’s common room.  They’ll change out of what they were wearing outside and put on comfy clothes before reuniting as a group in the common room, a few of them huddled in front of the fireplace and the others sitting comfortably on the sofas.

Lucifer will finish changing first to make hot cocoa for everyone.  He ensures he gets to the kitchen before Satan, considering the first few times this rebellious demon made the cocoa, there was always something weird laced in the eldest brother’s cup only.  The drinks are ready just before the rest of the brothers enter the common room, and although Asmodeus and Beelzebub are the only ones who openly admit it, they all love the way Lucifer makes hot cocoa.  He also tries to sit the furthest from his brothers just so he can quietly watch them and take in the relaxed atmosphere (until someone suddenly starts an argument).  It’s one of the rare moments Lucifer genuinely smiles, but his brothers are too distracted in their conversations to notice it.

When he’s not eyeing the others’ hot cocoa, Beelzebub keeps the flame going in the fireplace.  He wants to make sure everyone stays warm after being outside in the cold for so long.  Plus, he’s like a walking heat pack, so he’ll share his own warmth with anyone who needs it.  Belphegor and Asmodeus usually hog him for heat, but he’ll try to move around to get to his other brothers, too.  And, if they happen to still have cocoa left in their cups…  Well, consider it payment for his warmth.  He’ll eventually have to go to the kitchen to satiate his hunger, though.

Belphegor will bring his pillow and a blanket with him to the common room in order to set up a cozy spot for himself in front of the fireplace.  He’ll ignore Mammon’s complaints about how unfair it is that he’s taking up the whole area by the fire, pretending to have already fallen asleep, but he’ll smirk when Lucifer scolds Mammon for simply not returning to the common room soon enough to claim the spot (plus he’s the spoiled baby brother, what do you expect).  Also, whenever Beel is next to him, he’ll reposition himself so he can lean against his twin for added warmth.  He’ll nap on and off during this time, only waking up when Beel moves or when the bickering among his brothers gets too loud.

While the eldest brother and the twins are the most quiet during this time, Asmodeus is an absolute chatterbox (on top of his teeth occasionally chattering at first from how cold he is).  In the beginning, he’s mostly whining about how it was freezing outside, how annoying Mammon was for throwing so many snowballs at him relentlessly, and how much cream he needed to apply to his dry skin once he was inside.  But then he’ll move on to sharing how great some of his snow pictures came out–despite being pelted with snowballs while he was taking them–, how stunning Lucifer’s focused face looked during the fight–making Satan click his tongue in annoyance and Lucifer shake his head–, and any of the latest gossip he can think of.  For the most part, he’ll remain in front of the fireplace snuggling with Beel and Belphie, refusing to let go of them.

Mammon is a little tired from exerting his energy during the snowball fight, but he’s still his rambunctious self, refueled from the hot cocoa and talking up a storm along with Asmo.  He’ll keep bringing up how awesome he was during the fight and nudge his brothers to praise him as well.  Instead, his brothers will mention how it’d be better if he was that passionate about his schoolwork and properly managing his money, but he’ll brush them off.  He’ll join in on Asmo’s gossip and add in his own discussion topics, like the fancy expensive items he saw in the stores downtown.  He’s only able to get “Beel the Heat Pack” by his side on the sofa by bribing him with some gum he had in his pocket, which soon leads to him shouting about how the rest of his hot cocoa is gone.

Leviathan will bring his portable gaming system with him to the common room and sit on the sofa across from Mammon to better ignore the older brother’s loud voice and avoid getting smacked by his arms gestures when he talks.  He’ll be focused on his game most of the time, but he’ll listen to his brothers’ conversations in the background so he can find an opportunity to chime in when he feels comfortable.  He really only speaks up to dispute Mammon’s notions or if anything that was said surprised him or reminded him of something he’s watched or played.  He can handle cooler temperatures well, so he’s content with the heat from his running game system to keep warm, along with the fire nearby.

Satan will be quiet at first, still steaming from the few hits he landed on Lucifer during the snowball fight and how he didn’t get to the kitchen soon enough to spike the eldest brother’s hot cocoa as revenge.  And why does the cocoa have to taste so good, too, huh?!  His burning frustration inside his chest doesn’t allow him to experience any chill from being outside earlier.  His gaze is focused on the fireplace to prevent his anger from coming out, and both the motions of the flames and his brothers’ calmer-than-usual voices help him to settle down.  He’ll soon join in on whatever conversation is going on, adding his knowledge and opinions when applicable.  Since Levi is next to him, he’ll occasionally glance over at what he’s playing; if it’s interesting enough to him, he’ll ask Levi about it and engage in a brief side conversation with him.

The brothers stay like this for a while until they eventually trickle out to go about their individual tasks.  Although they initially reject Mammon’s idea about doing this again the next time it snows, they all end up doing it again anyway everytime because yes, they actually do enjoy this “not-tradition” they have in the winter; being completely honest is just not their forte.

(Another very common prompt/headcanon, haha.  But it’s one of my favorites, so I wanted to give it a try.)

How do each of the demon brothers respond to MC seeking comfort after a nightmare?

Lucifer will still be awake, his back against the headboard of his bed as he sifts through some documents from his recent meeting with Diavolo, when MC knocks on the door to his room.  He’ll invite them inside without looking up, only giving them his full attention when he notices they haven’t said anything after entering.  Noticing their troubled expression and hesitation to speak what’s on their mind, he’ll take off his reading glasses and set them and the documents aside.  He already knows exactly what’s happened.  He’s dealt with this scenario before when his brothers were younger, so he’ll beckon them to sit next him and tell him about their nightmare.  After they finish explaining it, he’ll ease their concerns with both logic (i.e. “It’s not possible for…”) and reassurance (i.e. “I’d make sure that wouldn’t happen to you.”).  If they still feel too anxious to go back to sleep alone, he’ll decide to retire early (dude it’s 3 a.m., what do you mean early?) for the night so that they can sleep in his bed while he holds them in his arms.  Lucifer is secretly pleased that they chose to come to him for comfort.  It isn’t until MC is dozing off–when he thinks they’re asleep–that they feel his lips curve into a smile on the crown of their head.  He’s soft for this human, so he’d be willing to aid them again like this if they needed it.

Mammon will jolt awake upon hearing knocking at his bedroom door.  He’ll be in a daze as he saunters over to the door to open it, grumbling to himself all the while.  He’ll start complaining to the person on the other side for waking him up only to pause in the middle of his sentence once he realizes it’s MC.  He’s wide awake now, fumbling over his words as he tries to put on his usual bravado.  What are ya doin’ here at this hour, MC?  Don’t tell him ya had a nightmare or somethin’!  He’ll snicker at the idea but immediately stop when MC admits that’s the case.  He’s surprised they came to him about this, but boy does that put him on cloud nine.  Well, o-of course ya came to the Great Mammon to cheer you up, MC!  Why wouldn’t ya?  He’ll pull them inside his room and sit them down on the couch with him, asking them to tell him about their nightmare.  …Yeesh, you’ve got some scary dreams there, human.  Still, he’ll flash a confident grin and promise them they have nothing to fear with him around.  To help them forget about the nightmare, Mammon will suggest they just hang out together for a bit, like chatting, playing a card game, or watching something on his projector screen.  If they’d like to spend the rest of the night with him because they don’t want to sleep alone, his cheeks will turn crimson red at the idea, but he’ll ultimately accept, telling them they should be grateful he’s so nice to them.  Once the two of them are in his bed, Mammon will maneuver MC’s head to rest on his chest or in the crook of his neck while wrapping his arms around them.  He’ll assure them that they won’t have any more bad dreams with him around, and he’ll later add that they can come to him again whenever they have nightmares.

Leviathan will be in the middle of an online game with a group of friends and won’t answer the door at first.  Once he finishes the match, he’ll begrudgingly open the door to find MC already beginning to walk away.  They’ll apologize for bothering him and say they don’t need anything, but Levi can tell they’re not acting like themselves.  Making sure no one else is around, he’ll force them inside the room and ask what’s going on.  Wait, that sad expression…  Did your favorite character from that manga die, MC?  It’s all right, he understands that pain.  You can always tell it’s coming when that character suddenly is the center of attention and their backstory plays out–  Oh, that’s not it?  …A nightmare?  And you went to him out of everyone to help you feel better?!  Levi will be flustered by this turn of events, but he won’t turn MC away.  Rather, he knows just what to do to distract them from such troubling dreams.  After logging off of the game he was playing, he’ll bring out his favorite comfort anime and video games and let MC pick one to watch/play with him.  Levi will glance at them every once in a while to gauge their mood, and once they seem more relaxed, he’ll be relieved that he was able to help.  If they want to spend the rest of the night with him, he’ll gladly agree to it and suggest others things for them to watch, play, or even read with him.  If they’d rather go back to sleep but don’t want to be alone, this poor demon will be a blushing and stuttering mess.  It’ll take a lot of convincing and reassurance that no, he isn’t gross or yucky and no, they don’t mind if it’s a little cramped together in the bathtub bed.  Once MC mentions Levi’s presence would be able to keep their nightmares away, he’ll finally agree, feeling a surge of pride from such a comment.  So, he’ll nervously climb in the bed next to them and have to whisper aloud to himself to stay calm.  He’ll tentatively put an arm around them, and they’ll snuggle closer to his warmth and mutter words of appreciation.  In the back of his mind, Levi hopes they continue to rely on him like this.

Satan will be more puzzled than irritated by the knocking on his bedroom door at such an hour.  Not wanting to get up from his spot on the bed, he’ll ask who it is.  Upon hearing MC’s oddly timid voice reply, he’ll put down his book and answer the door himself.  The light from his bedroom flashes on MC’s face, making them squint briefly and giving Satan a chance to examine their features.  Tired eyes, worry lines, fidgeting when he asks what’s the matter…  MC, did you by chance have a nightmare?  They nod silently, having been easily deduced.  Satan will guide them inside and prompt them to tell him about it while sitting next to him on the bed.  He’s read about the many different interpretations of dreams and what can cause nightmares, so he’ll rationalize why they may have had this particular bad dream and suggest what they can do to better prevent it in the future.  If this isn’t enough to calm them, he’ll then suggest they join him for a bit while he reads; MC can read a comforting book by themselves next to him or let him read aloud to them, whichever makes them feel more at ease.  Afterward, if they mention they don’t want to go back to sleep alone, Satan’s eyes will widen, a blush creeping on his cheeks.  The reaction is gone once he clears his throat, and he’ll make sure there’s no books on his bed to allow them to get more comfortable.  He’ll position their head on his chest and rake his fingers through their hair soothingly until they fall asleep.  He hopes his advice helps them, but he also doesn’t mind if they want to come to him again after a nightmare.

Asmodeus will be annoyed at first when he’s awoken to knocking on his door in the middle of the night.  Who dares disturb his beauty sleep?!  Are they trying to ruin his skin?!  He swings open the door, ready to chew out whichever one of his brothers has the nerve to bother him.  His frustration immediately vanishes at the sight of MC staring back at him with wide eyes.  They nervously apologize for waking him and consider leaving, but Asmo ushers them inside, assuring them that they’re the only one who can visit his room anytime, day or night.  It’s light enough for him to see their worried features, so to help them relax a bit, he’ll tease that they must be here for some late-night fun.  Not being met with the reaction he was hoping for, he’ll apologize and ask them to tell him what they really need.  He’s all ears!  As they recount their nightmare, Asmo will wrap his arms around MC and rub soothing circles on their back, even kissing the tears off their cheeks if they start to cry.  He’ll assure them that everything is okay now and offer to stay with them for the rest of the night to help them sleep–he’ll be good, he promises!  If it’s fine with them, Asmo will return to his bed with MC in tow and cuddle them close.  He’ll kiss their forehead a few times, claiming that it’ll guarantee they only have good dreams the rest of the night.  Once they’re drifting off, he’ll giggle softly at their cute expression, prompting him to give a little kiss on the tip of their nose before he goes back to sleep himself.

Beelzebub will be gnawing on his pillow when MC’s knocks wake him up.  After coughing out a few feathers, he’ll get up to answer the door.  His surprise turns into concern when he looks at MC’s troubled face, and he’ll ask them what’s wrong.  Once they explain they had a nightmare, Beel will nod in understanding, having experienced plenty of bad dreams before–food- and family-related.  He’ll invite them to tag along with him to the kitchen for a late-night snack and tell him about the nightmare on the way.  He’ll sympathize with them and share some of his favorite snacks to help them feel better.  He believes it’s important for MC to get their rest, so he’ll end his late-night kitchen raid earlier than normal and encourage them to go back to bed.   He’s happy to walk them back to their room and make sure they’re relaxed and comfortable, but he’s actually the one to offer to sleep with them so they won’t be alone.  If they’d like to stay with him, he’ll smile warmly before guiding them back to his room (or theirs, if they’d prefer)–even carrying them on the trip back if they’re getting drowsy.  Once the two of them are in bed, Beel’s arms will encircle MC completely and firmly, but he’ll do his best to be gentle to avoid accidentally hurting them.  He’ll tell them that they can feel safe in his hold and won’t have to worry about any other bad dreams tonight.  He’s glad he can be there for MC when they need him.

Belphegor obviously isn’t going to wake up easily to knocking on the door, so MC will have to enter his room on their own and shake him to get his attention.  He’ll be groggy when he finally decides to open his eyes and figure out what the fuss is all about.  He becomes a little more alert when he hears the hesitance in their voice, readjusting his position to show he’s paying attention and urging them to get to the point.  Hold on, this is just about a nightmare?  …All right, climb in here next to him and tell him about it.  As they’re explaining their bad dream, Belphie will cuddle them to help them stay calm, and although his eyes are closed, he’ll give intermittent hums to let them know he’s listening.  He’s no stranger to nightmares, so he can understand MC’s desire to seek comfort after having such bad ones.  Despite being more tired than MC at the moment, he’ll force himself out of bed and instruct them to grab some pillows and a blanket.  He’ll carry his usual pillow in one hand and hold MC’s wrist with the other as he leads them to the Planetarium.  The two of them will set up a cozy spot on the floor for them to lay on so they can look up at the stars.  Belphie will point out his favorite constellations in the Devildom and tell MC stories surrounding their origins.  He’ll also recall some memories from when he’s stargazed with his brothers.  All the while, he’ll keep MC close to his side to share their warmth.  Once he sees that they’ve relaxed, he’ll tuck the blanket more around them and say they may as well just sleep there the remainder of the night; there’s no way he’s getting up again.  Before MC can answer, he’ll snuggle closer to them while assuring that they’d get better rest with him there.  After all, he knows he always sleeps better when they’re around.  He’ll welcome them with open arms (quite literally) anytime they have bad dreams.

How do the demon brothers react to Belphegor attacking MC in Lesson 16?

Warnings: Mentions of blood and death; Angst

In Lesson 16, we only get very brief glimpses of the brothers’ individual responses when Belphegor attacks the alternate-timeline MC, who ends up dying/disappearing in Mammon’s arms.  Using the dialogue from the game, I wanted to delve a little deeper into their reactions (minus Belphegor’s) to make the event more impactful.  A big thanks to @tehsammutna​ for her input and for letting me bounce ideas off her!

The six demon brothers are in the common room of HoL when they suddenly hear screaming, maniacal laughter, and loud thumps down the stairs.  They rush to the entrance hall to discover MC’s limp, distorted figure lying at the foot of the stairs as Belphegor looms over them with a wicked smile.

Mammon is the first to react, running as fast as his legs will take him only to collapse on his knees next to MC.  He holds the human’s bloody body close to him, calling out to them frantically while paying no mind to Belphegor, who may as well have been invisible.  His primary focus is trying to keep MC conscious.  He’s too alarmed to really be more productive, like considering the use of healing magic or providing any kind of first aid, although neither may have been of any help at that point anyway.  Belphie notes that Mammon is acting like it’s the end of the world, and for Mammon, it really feels like it.  He’s choking back sobs, a few teardrops falling down onto MC’s face as their eyes grow more dull/distant and their breathing slows.  Despite this, he continues talking to them in vain, doing what he can to keep their eyes open and muttering promises he wouldn’t keep in hopes of a miracle that would keep them alive.  “MC, don’t you die! MC…!”

Beelzebub is suffering the most from all of this.  He’s just looking back and forth between MC and his twin brother in fear and disbelief, wondering how Belphegor is here and why he attacked MC.  He can hardly pay further attention to the situation in front of him as his mind is filled with intense flashbacks from when he couldn’t save Lilith during the Celestial War.  His vision is fusing Lilith and MC together, and now he’s beginning to blame himself for everything that’s happening.  He’s telling himself that it’s his fault that MC is in this state, just like he still feels at fault for not being able to protect Lilith from that fatal hit.  He’s also telling himself that he should’ve somehow been able to find and stop Belphie before this occurred, even though he had no idea Belphie was in the attic.  Tears well up in his eyes without him realizing it, but he does feel the regret and rage surging inside him, both at himself and toward his twin.  “Belphie, what have you done?!”

Leviathan is totally out of it at first while gazing at MC’s messy, motionless form.  The sight reminds him of a heart-wrenching scene in TSL between the Lord of Shadows and Henry.  He was starting to see MC as his Henry more and more recently, so the comparison made a few tears roll down his cheeks.  It was then that he overcame his initial shock and registered how upset he truly was by this event.  This can’t be real, he thinks repeatedly.  I’m just having a nightmare because of that TSL marathon I had with MC the other day.  It’s not real.  But as he watches MC continue to bleed out and show no signs of speaking or moving, reality fully sets in, crushing any hope of this being an illusion and making his legs grow weak.  “This is awful.  What’s going to happen to MC?!”

Satan remains as still as MC is, his mind swarming with information and emotion.  Ever the logical thinker, he studies MC’s body from where he’s standing to get an analysis on their condition using what he’s learned from his reading and through MC about humans.  However, he keeps being interrupted from his examination with bursts of wrath, tempting him to lunge at Belphegor right then and there and make him feel pain as terrible–if not more–as what MC was likely experiencing in that moment.  But he kept pushing his anger back down and returning his attention to the human.  The further he gets to the conclusion that MC isn’t going to make it, the more frequent and severe his internal rage becomes.  Unbeknownst to him at the time, his anger is merely a secondary emotion to the growing sadness he’s experiencing from the state MC is in.  “MC is a human.  With injuries this bad, the chances of survival are…”

Asmodeus shrieks the moment he sees MC’s body.  Rather than being struck frozen with shock, he’s very vocal and moves about in a panic.  After MC is in Mammon’s arms, Asmo approaches them and checks MC for a pulse and if they’re breathing.  Noticing that MC’s breathing is getting weaker, his alarm only intensifies.  He begs for his brothers’ help, but they’re mostly unresponsive due to their own reactions and internal conflicts.  He also starts asking Belphegor question after question without giving him a chance to respond, such as “What’s gotten into you Belphie?”; “How do you know MC?; “Why would you hurt them?!"  He then wonders if MC is still breathing and returns his attention to them before once more pleading for help, repeating the cycle again.  “Lucifer, can’t we do something?!”

Lucifer is trying his best to manage everything around him, including himself.  Although he’s normally the most rational and composed brother in a crisis, his emotions and thoughts are running so rampant that he isn’t able to be very productive in this situation.  There’s rage and shock toward Belphie, immense fear and concern toward MC, and increasing frustration from the many overwhelming reactions and voices of his other brothers.  He’s used to juggling a lot at once, but this? This was too much for him.  The whole reason he kept Belphie locked away was to prevent such an incident, and now he wondered if he was actually wrong in his decision.  If he had dealt with the Belphegor differently, perhaps MC would be smiling and chatting with him and his brothers right now, rather than withering away before his very eyes.  His stern expression gradually weakens to reveal how helpless and defeated he feels, much to Belphie’s delight.  “Belphie, you…”… “Gr…!”

MC: Hey, Satan, why do you have such an attitude right now?

Satan: Excuse me?!  What did you just say to me?!

MC: Oops, my bad.  I mean, why do you have such a cat-titude right now?

Satan: Oh.

Satan: Lucifer found out I cursed his shoes to tap-dance if he wears them, so now I’m on cooking duty for the whole week.

(It’s cold and a set of pjs (something like this) made me think of this prompt, so here we are, haha.  I hope you feel warm and cozy reading through this fluff!)

How would each of the demon brothers react to seeing MC in fuzzy/cuddly pajamas?

Lucifer will lightly tease MC about how childish or cute they look in the pajamas before continuing whatever he was in the middle of doing.  However, in the back of his mind, he’ll keep wondering what the pajamas feel like.  MC went on about how soft and comfy the clothing was, but perhaps…he could find a way to determine that himself.  It doesn’t take long for Lucifer to give into the temptation, so the next night, he’ll request MC to meet him in his study once they’re ready for bed.  Once MC arrives, they don’t have a chance to ask him what he needs before he pulls them close and buries his face in their shoulder.  He even removed his gloves earlier so he could fully experience how fluffy the material is.  Regardless of MC’s reaction, he’s satisfied with the results; it definitely left him feeling recharged, too.  He’ll release them shortly thereafter, explaining that he wanted to see if the pajamas lived up to MC’s praises before nonchalantly returning to his work.

Mammon will snicker at MC’s attire, commenting on how they remind him of a sheep.  Fed up with his remarks, MC will try to leave, but Mammon will quickly get in their way and promise to keep his thoughts to himself as long as they stay.  So, what’s so great about these pajamas of yours anyway, MC?  He doesn’t get the appeal.  Like, there’s no way it’s that sof–  What the–?!  Seriously?!  He’s never had clothing this crazy soft before!  There’s a market for this?!  He’s on-board, scheming away on how he could find material just as fluffy and make a ton of Grimm selling his own line of “Sheep Pajamas.”  But, uh, to make sure that he fully knows what material to be looking for, he’d like MC to let him…y’know…hug ‘em for a bit.  There’s no other reason he wants to hold them, he’ll claim.  However, once Mammon has his arms wrapped around MC–letting the fluffy pajamas engulf his hands and face–he doesn’t plan on letting go any time soon.  In the end, he’ll snuggle with MC for the rest of the night until he falls asleep, his grip still tight around them.

Leviathan immediately will start gushing about how much MC looks like a character from an anime he recently watched.  He’ll show a picture of the character on his phone and start rambling about the comparison between them and MC, the character themselves, and even into the story’s plot line if MC lets him get that far.  Anyway, since the anime character obviously isn’t real, he’d appreciate it if MC would let him touch the material on their pajamas–  No, wait!!  Never mind!  That’s creepy, isn’t it?  He’ll apologize profusely, worried that they were grossed out by the initial request, especially when it came from someone like him.  Before Levi can get into a self-deprecating rant, MC will have to put his hand on their long sleeve to express that he’s permitted to feel it.  Levi will be flustered at first, but then he’ll be in awe at how comfy and fluffy the pajamas are.  Oooowoooaaah!!  So this is how that character must feel!  Levi will thank them for this enlightening experience.  You know, MC, if you really like this kind of clothing, he’d be willing to sew together some more for you.  If they say the word, he’d do it in a heartbeat, eager to see them frequently wearing something he made with a bright smile on their face.

Satan will chuckle and question why MC chose to get those pajamas.  Whatever the reason, he’ll note that they look adorable.  In fact, if the pajamas had a hood with cat ears or a tail sewn on the back…  He’ll have to hide his blush from the even cuter image of MC that’s forming in his mind.  If they do have any cat-like features/designs, he’ll ask if he can take a closer look at them and maybe even take a picture on his phone to make his home screen background.  Satan will be open to MC snuggling close to him while he reads so he can get a taste of how soft the clothing’s material is.  However, he won’t be able to focus on his book very well as he runs his free hand soothingly over their arm or back.  It really is as soft as a fluffy cat!  He can’t get enough!  …MC, what do you mean he’s been on the same page for several minutes?  You know what, never mind.  He’d rather engage in his own research about these pajamas and how they compare to the fur textures of different cats.  So, let him cuddle you properly for a bit, MC.

Asmodeus will squeal at the sight of MC in the fuzzy pajamas and proceed to take several pictures of them alone and together with him.  All of Devilgram should know how absolutely precious you look, MC!  But, while his followers only get to look, Asmo is lucky enough to have MC and their fluffiness all to himself!  MC will have to quickly set boundaries, otherwise his hands will be all over them to feel the soft clothing.  Once he’s content, MC can go to sleep, right?  Sure, as long as Asmo can come along and snuggle next to them.  Again, boundaries will need to be clarified because his hands will want to roam everywhere just to take in how warm and cozy they feel.  He’ll be even happier if MC wraps their arms around him so he can nestle his face into the clothing right below their neck; otherwise, if their back is facing him, he’ll pull them closer and bury his face between their shoulder blades.  They may not notice through the thick clothing, but Asmo will plant gentle kisses on them and murmur how much he loves getting to cuddle them like this before drifting off into a peaceful slumber.

Beelzebub is a little confused by MC’s attire.  Did they shave an animal to get that fur?  If so, what kind of animal was it?  He’ll start thinking about his favorite kinds of cooked meat and begin drooling.  To regain his focus, MC will have to explain that they’re just pajamas and why they chose to get them.  Beel will nod in understanding and comment that he likes how the clothing looks on them.  He’ll then ask if he can touch their pajamas, and if MC is okay with it, he’ll rub his hand over their long sleeve.  …Oh, it’s really soft!  He’ll chuckle at the fuzzy feeling.  He’ll then suggest they have a movie night together so they can eat snacks and cuddle, which allows him to enjoy the pajamas’ coziness as much as MC does.  He might even ask MC to go shopping with him another day so he can get his own set of fluffy pajamas; might as well get a set for Belphegor, too, so the three of you can match.

Belphegorwill take one look at MC in their pajamas and then immediately wrap himself around them, refusing to let them go.  Why are you surprised, MC?  You’re wearing soft and cuddly clothing, so you’re like the best blanket or stuffed animal he’s ever held (except it’s even better because it’s you).  He’ll likely give a teasing remark about how they brought this upon themselves, and he’ll make sure MC and him go to bed early and sleep in late.  During the night, he’ll frequently nuzzle his face into their pajama top (either consciously or in his sleep) and grin widely.  Belphie doesn’t remember his dreams often, but after sleeping with MC in their soft pajamas, he’ll definitely recall how he dreamt of napping in a warm, sunny field surrounded by fluffy sheep.  He’ll ask MC to wear those pajamas every night and definitely pout whenever it’s in the wash.

My Personal Takeaway from Lesson 52:

Satan:*slides in with a snazzy suit looking like a dreamboat* Hey there, don’t mind me! I’m just being an intelligent, attractive, emotionally complex character that basically ticks all your boxes for the perfect guy.

Levi:*sitting in a burlap sack in the corner playing a Nintendo Switch* Hey, don’t mind me either. I’ll just be over here totally unable to function in normal society in the exact same ways you can’t function in normal society but proud of it!

Me: ….

Me: You know what? I think I still want the otaku for some reason…

Satan: OH COME ON!!!

Lucifer: Would anyone happen to know about that?

Satan: Whatever do you mean, big brother?

Belphie: Things have been pretty quiet here…

Lucifer: Is that so?

Lucifer: And the fact that I’m holding Mammon’s half-eaten jacket right now has NOTHING to do with this?

Lucifer:

Analysis:

*it’s late at night in the human world and the brothers are all coming back home from seeing a movie. As they go to pile into the black mini-van they have to use to get anywhere, Levi speaks up in the parking lot*

Levi: So what did everybody think?

Satan: Well, I think the director should have-

Mammon:UGH! *the secondborn throws his hands up* Not out here, ya nerds! When you two get into it, ya’ll talk for hours!!

*Satan punches Mammon in the cheek while Levi elbows his side*

Mammon:OW!

Levi: We’re not nerds! We’re story-telling enthusiasts!

Beel:*looks slightly disappointed* Their popcorn needed more salt…

Belphie: I think Levi was talking about the movie, Beel. Not the food.

Beel: Oh…

Asmo: Well, I was too distracted by the cutie in front of us to pay attention.

Lucifer:*sighs* We know Asmo… You were flirting through the entire runtime…

Asmo:*flashes a napkin with a bit of lipstick still on it* Successfully, might I add~?

Levi:*turns to Satan* So anyway, I thought the opening dragged a bit but it picked up around the thirty minute mark.

Satan:*nods in agreement* There was definitely a pacing issue at the start… I blame an overzealous attention to atmosphere-

Mammon:*rolls his eyes* Or ya know, maybe it’s ‘cause the damn thing is as long as one of Belphie’s naps…?

Belphie:*yawns like he just ran a marathon* Yeah, I can’t remember anything…

Lucifer:*pinches the bridge of his nose* That’s because you fell asleep into your popcorn bowl…

Beel: I tried REALLY HARD not to eat your head…

Belphie:*pats his twin’s arm* Thanks Beel.

Mammon: Anybody think the MC’s seen it already?

Asmo: Hmm, probably not. They’ve been really busy lately…

Mammon: That sucks… They’d like this movie. *he rubs his chin, seeming to think outloud* Hm… I bet there’d be an earlier showing tomorrow….

*though he doesn’t say it outloud, the brothers all exchange glances as they pick up on what he’s implying…*

Mammon: My idea!I call dibs!! *he pulls out his phone to call the MC, which gets snatched out of his hands by Levi’s tail*

Levi: No way, I’m asking them!! *he gets out his phone, but Belphie swats away like a mosquito*

Belphie: Hell no!! *he jumps back to try and grab his own but Lucifer plucks it away from behind*

Lucifer: You, Belphie? Please… You’d never stay awake. *though he frowns like he’s above this petty squabble, his free hand brushes over his pocket for his own phone… but…*

Mammon: Lookin’ for something~? *the greedy demon flashes a Cheshire grin while holding up Lucifer’s phone, which he pickpocketed away earlier in the theater*

Lucifer: ….

Lucifer:Maaaaammmmmoooon….?

Mammon:Ack!!

*the secondborn turns on his heel to run away from his enraged brother, both leaving the rest of the group in the dust as they take off down the parking lot*

Asmo:HEY!! Lucifer, if you’re going to chase Mammon then give us the car keys!!

Asmo:Lucifer!? Come on, Lucifer!! How are we supposed to get home!?!

Demigod MC Series: Nyx

Nyx is a primordial goddess and the Greek personification of Night - the mother of Hypnos, Thanatos, Nemesis, and many more. She’s a mysterious figure in their mythos as there’s little surviving info about her cult. What is known, however, is that she was portrayed as beautiful, powerful, and feared by Zeus himself.

Demigod MC Series: Intro, Aphrodite, Hermes, Hades, Dionysus, Demeter, Athena, Hades Pt. 2, Poseidon, Ares, Hestia, Nyx

Lucifer 

• What happens when you take a being born from the darkness and place them in a realm of eternal night…?
• The answer came when the MC first stepped out of the portal. Everyone in the room was wholly expecting a normal-looking, confused human they could get up to speed, however…
• The MC’s skin suddenly darkened until it was as black as a shadow, their clothes levitated around them as if they were defying gravity, and glimmering speckles dotted their skin like twinkling stars.
• Even their eyes turned a pure, glowing white without irises or pupils… Like two crowning stars locked into a body made from the shimmering night sky…
• They weren’t human. At the time, Lucifer wasn’t even sure he could say what they were… Breathtaking, certainly, but there was something else about them that he couldn’t place… something… foreboding…
• Diavolo must have had the same unease because Barbatos was put in charge of monitoring them. The butler would send reports to them both and the results would range from benign to nerve-racking…
• They kept their distance from his brothers and most people, but their power seemed immense… Barbs would report seeing them making small items float or summoning a meteor shower from their fingertips!
• Lucifer ended up actually tasting their powers only once. When they stepped in to protect Beel and Luke and he went to attack them…
• The whole House began to shake and the candles of the tomb started going out one by one as the air grew intolerably heavy… He could have sworn he saw a vortex of… something… swirling at their feet…
• He backed off immediately and Beel and Luke got off with a warning, mostly because he was trying not to look utterly petrified…
• He’s never met a more beautiful and dangerous creature in his life… Pact mark or no, this is probably the only person the firstborn will admit he never wants to have to fight because he’d lose, big time.

Mammon

• He was expecting to find a human when he walked into the Student Council room, not an alien!!
• Mammon was seriously scared of the MC when they first met because he legitimately believed they were an extraterrestrial sent to probe him!!… Or whatever else those scary movies say aliens do, lay eggs in his stomach?
• He straight up avoided them like the plague until the Goldie incident more or less bound them together. But even then there was a distance between them he just couldn’t place…
• Naturally, it bothers a demon a bit if their master doesn’t seem to like them, so he eventually cornered them one day to force them to tell him why they’d been running off!
• As it turned out, the MC actually knew as little about their new form everybody else! They had been perfectly normal in the human world, but for some reason the Devildom supercharged them! They could tell that they were powerful, but had no idea how to control themselves yet and it scared them…
• So Mammon became their first unofficial “coach.” Not that he knew how to train them or anything, but he was the first person supportive enough to even try to help them learn their new powers.
• It led to some… interesting misadventures. Like when the MC unexpectedly burst every water pipe in the House or when they got a little too frustrated and ripped the kitchen apart with an accidental twister, but hey, Mammon was always there for them at least.
• Of course, because he’s who he is, he’s not above asking the MC to help him with his schemes for “training purposes…” Infiltration is more fun if you’re weightless, after all!
• Speaking of weightless… His favorite way to float is when the MC gets excited and hugs him. They can’t help but levitate them both off the ground when they’re that happy and it makes the whole hug that much sweeter.

Leviathan 

• It's… it’s like he’s in his very own Magical Girl anime!!! Uh, “I’m a Demon and this is My New Life with a Magic Starchild!!”-or something like that. ‍♀️
• He didn’t even think their transformation was real when he first saw it! He really thought it was an elaborate body art cosplay but then their “freckles” rearranged themselves when he frightened them, so it had to be real!!
• He’ll declare that they’re probably (literally) the coolest thing on the planet. They have the looks of an epic fantasy character plus insane powers to boot! 
• …though uh… they may need a training arc or two to learn how to control them…
• Since their powers are apparently tied to their emotions, Levi’s seen them do a whole bunch of stuff that’s not entirely on purpose… Like, they can make things float when they’re happy and push everything down when they’re sad. 
• So once he showed them one of those “tragic ending” animes for fun, but they cried so hard that they increased gravity and accidentally sent his bathtub crashing into the basement…
• The worst of it is when they’re mad, though. He made the mistake of making them play a rage game once and they ended up shattering all the glass in his room! His aquarium wall and Henry’s fishtank included!!
• They were able to make a zero G sphere of water in order to save Henry’s life, but the cleanup was brutal… They were super sorry, but Levi took most of the blame himself anyway.
• Honestly, he’d have been more mad but their body is clearly not something they can control just yet. Plus, it’s so cool that he can put up with a little destruction anyway, you know?

Satan

• Well, isn’t that an interesting phenomenon?
• Meeting a demigod is exciting enough, but one who reacted to the Devildom like that? It was pretty much unheard of!
• Though he’d hate to admit it, Satan stalked the MC just as closely as Barbatos for a little while… But only because he was a little unsure of how to approach them…
• They kept to themselves and their powers seemed “a little” unpredictable (see Levi’s orphaned bathtub). Thankfully, Mammon ended up recommending the MC to him since Satan’s one of the smartest guys around.
• Satan made a better coach than Mammon, anyway. He was far more knowledgeable and actually able to hypothesize the strength their powers, which came in handy because uh… well…
• Look. The whole realm ‘ooohs’and'ahhhs’ over their appearance but they’re all fools - no morons - for not noticing what potential the MC actually has. Satan was positive that the MC is the most powerful being in the Devildom, without question.
• They had a complete control over gravity, atmospheric pressure, and even astronomical bodies… If they wanted to, they could literally pluck a planet out of orbit and send it careening into who knows what!
• Want more terrifying? They could create near-matterless vacuums at the palms of their hands with the potential to suffocate, crush, or rip apart basically anything they wanted with implosive force….
• Does he even need to spell out why that’s utterly horrifying??
• At least the MC seemed to be a genuinely nice person who wanted to control their powers better… Their emotions often got in the way but they tried their best.
• He likes the MC a lot, but he’d be lying if he said that they didn’t also terrify him… They may have been pretty normal in the human world, but give them endless night and they may as well be a god…

Asmodeus 

• Oh… My… Father!!! They’re GORGEOUS!!!!
• From the moment their transformation completed, Asmo had never seen anything like them! He said that they were like a living droplet of the night sky!
• They were magnificent!! They were radiant!!! He was posting pictures of them before they had even said their first sentence!!
• So Asmo was pretty much patient zero for any and all rumors and hype about the MC after that… Apparently someone like them only visits the Devildom every one, maybe two, centuries so everybody was bound to get talking.
• Thankfully, the MC’s habit of ducking out of the House kept them from becoming a full on sideshow. Unfortunately, however, Asmodeus was relentless!
• He’d beg them to try modeling or make videos with him because of their unique look! He’d lay on the praises, but it was a little… much. It wasn’t until Mammon finally stepped that he backed off a bit.
• Asmo sometimes forgets that not everyone puts as much emphasis on looks as he does… Though he meant well, he hadn’t realized that the MC maybe wouldn’t appreciate him making such a big deal out of their appearance change. Pretty as it was, it was still involuntary to them…
• Of course, after they told him this he cooled off and stopped putting them out there so publicly but even still he could hardly keep his eyes off of them… unless he was looking in a mirror, of course.
• A fun fact about the MC: when they blush, their skin makes a pink nebula. And thanks to his antics, Asmo has seen their lively pink cheeks many, many times…

Beelzebub 

• Belphie would like them, wouldn’t he…?
• Beel’s first reaction upon seeing the MC was genuine sadness, as seeing the stars with his twin brother still gone often brought him… 
• The sadness didn’t last too long at least because Beel tried his best to see the MC more like a person than a work of art or an oddity. Sure, they looked different - like really different - but they still laughed, cried, and ate like everybody else so they couldn’t be thatdifferent.
• Though then again, most people don’t end up floating in midair when they laugh… Eh, oh well. It’s not like those little details bother him. ‍♀️
• He always remained certain that Belphie would like the MC so he told them a lot about him. Since his twin loved stargazing, it’d only be natural that he’d like someone who looked like the stars, right?
• Aside from the occasional tangent about his brother, Beel would also help the MC with their training by letting themhelphim with his training!
• Controlling gravity can be pretty nifty for strength/resistance exercises, so there would be days where Beel would just pull a Dragon Ball and walk around at 1.5 or 2 times Earth’s gravity thanks to having the MC on his back!
• Sure, lifting a glass of milk becane so difficult that he literally broke a sweat from trying, but he felt like he can juggle motorcycles afterwards so who’s complaining? Not him!

Belphegor 

• ……
• ………….
• Was it some kind of joke?
• The MC was not human. There was no way in heaven or hell that whatever he lured to the attic was supposed to be a human!!
• Really, everything about the MC and their situation seemed directly designed to throw a monkey wrench into his plans…
• One: They weren’t human so how was he supposed to ruin Diavolo’s dream? Two: They were clearly some kind of magical being so they could likely defend themselves…
• But third ans most embarrassing of all… he honestly, genuinely, has never seen a more amazing person in his life. Blame it on his soft spot for the stars, but the moment the MC step up to his prison bars, he was smitten…
• And. He. HATED IT!
• Look, as much as he loved the night sky, he wasn’t about to let some random non-human derail his anger! He was stronger than that!
• He managed to hold onto his bitterness just long enough to make a halfhearted attempt on their life after they got the door open, but uh…
• His brothers found Belphie when he fell through a newly-made hole in the ceiling… Said hole was made when his body slammed to the ground hard enough to crash through the attic floor…
• If the damage they caused wasn’t enough to change his mind (which it was), then their distress when they thought they might have hurt him certainly did. Even their tears looked like stardust…
• After far too long, Belphie got over his denial and began to properly love MC. If he liked stargazing before, he adored it now because he never even has to get out of bed! He can just roll over and follow the “stars” on the MC’s body!
• Unfortunately, that same love means it also takes a lot to ditch him if they get sick of being his personal night’s sky… The brothers have found him floated up and sleeping on the ceiling on numerous occasions so the mortal can get some fresh air (clever MC)…

How the Brothers Would Try to Corrupt MC w/ Their Sin

I have a headcanon that it’s part of demonic nature to try and corrupt humans. Though I think it would be unlikely that the brothers would try to intentionally corrupt MC post-pact, it’s still like second nature to them. That means they may try to unintentionally, uh… infect their soul with sin and drag them down into eternal damnation! They don’t mean it, but be careful MCs of the world.

Lucifer

• One of the hardest things to do can be to make others take pride in themselves… but Lucifer is always ready for a challenge.
• The name of the game is praise. The human mind can be easy to manipulate so with enough praise even the most stubborn human will start to believe a drop of their own hype.
• Building up pride is a steady thing… He’ll usually pick a strength or talent of the MC to give high praise. Perhaps they sing beautifully or they’re rather clever, don’t worry. He’d let them know.
• Light sprinkles of praise steadily increase their self-esteem, which may seem nice and almost healthy at first, but in truth he’s laying a trap… He knows how effective his words can be and he’s just waiting for them to go to the MC’s head.
• You think then he would be done right? Oh no. That’s not the fun part. What’s fun is to then offend that pride he’s spent so long building.
• He thinks it’s cute, really. A small comment here or a little condensation there and they’ll get so mad. It’s just so amusing!
• Of course, he can’t take what he dishes, so they’ll need to watch out. But don’t worry he loves them, even if they’re just a little too fun to play with…

Mammon

• Since when does the Avatar of Greed give gifts?
• Really, that should be the MC’s first red flag. Mammon isn’t known for generosity, so when he’s spending what little money he can hold onto on them, it’s time to raise some eyebrows.
• It may seem nice, almost sweet, when he manages to track down a rare vintage of wine for them or take them out to a ritzy restaurant for the night but unfortunately it’s all just part of the plan…
• Nobody has tastes higher than Mammon. He can’t afford them most of the time, which leads to compromises, but given all the Grim in the world he’d be living in the lap of luxury - which is exactly the kind of lifestyle he wants the MC to crave too.
• Anyone, no matter how modest, can give into temptation. How easy would it be to taste the sweetest wine or enjoy the most wonderful trip then want to do it again? It may seem innocent at first, but piling on the finer things can soon have the MC craving for them when they pass.
• Then all Mammon needs is to make little promises, “If I make it big this time, then we’ll go to France!” or, “If I win this next hand then I’ll buy ya another glass." 
• So how many times will the MC give Mammon a pass, then? Will they stop questioning how he comes up with his cash? Will they let him gamble just that "little bit” longer? Will they even join him…?
• If they keep getting that taste of luxury, then maybe it’s not so bad… right?

Leviathan 

• You think the easiest way to get the MC jealous would be to flirt with other people since that’s how most people go about it but, uh… 
• This is Levi we’re talking about. Casual flirting is pretty much out of the question.
• So what is a demon to do to get their hapless human jealous? The answer is, be patient.
• No one’s perfect, humans especially! They’ll slip up eventually… 
• Maybe someone from back home just got a new car or they’re sending out marriage invites. 
• Maybe they have a friend who’s better than them at school or sports or there’s just someone who has something they want: Money, talent, looks, followers, friends, you name it. When they see it, he can feel that envy creeping in…
• From there, all he has to do is feed it. Let the world poke at their little insecurities for him while he plays the supportive boyfriend!
• “Did Mammon really get the promotion? I thought it would have been you! That’s so unfair…”
• “Satan beat your scores again? What is this, the third time? Doesn’t that suck?”
• Small little comments… but all with a goal to fill the MC with toxicity…
• “Are Asmo videos still doing better than yours? I think I know how to drop his numbers… if you want.”
• And soon enough, anyone can be an enemy. Everyone has it better than them… so they push the world away in order to feel better. And they become so toxic, the world rejects them in turn…
• Except, of course, for their loving boyfriend, Levi.

Satan

• If you want to keep someone mad, it’s best if you’re not the actual one doing it.
• I know, it sounds counterintuitive, but turning yourself into the enemy risks the target cutting you out. Satan knows this, so he’ll never enrage the MC directly…
• But indirectly? There’s a start.
• Everybody has little pet peevs. Tiny things that aren’t important, but dig under the skin nonetheless.
• Breadcrumbs in the butter, gum-smacking, toe-tapping, tones of voice, or just little annoying inconveniences that can sour one’s day…
• Satan is well-versed in these tiny annoyances, he’d dare say they’re in his domain. And, perspective that he is, he’ll know what frustrates the MC soon enough.
• Then it’s just a matter of execution.
• Maybe he jacks with their toothpaste tube or “conveniently” forgets where they put their books… Or they keep mysteriously finding fingerprints on their game disks or seemingly can’t keep their room organized to save their life!
• It may just seem like the world hates them… but really it’s just their demonic lover.
• These tiny details and little mishaps will just build and build like cracks in their foundation until it all breaks and comes crashing down… and he’ll be right there egging on every moment of it!

Asmodeus 

• You would think that Asmo would have the easiest time tempting the MC into his sin, but that’s not so.
• Sure, most traditional definitions of Lust begin and end at carnal desire, but what about those MCs who maybe aren’t so drawn to the sins of the flesh? Fear not! Because the keyword for Asmo is desire.
• Really, Asmo is happy if the MC’s mind is full of nothing but him. He wants them to desire him, to love him obviously, but to the point of obsession. His heated kisses and sensual whispers are only means to that end, which can change whenever he needs.
• The MC will have their life bombarded by their beautiful demon. It’s not an unwelcome smothering, he’s among the best boyfriends they could ever hope to have, which is exactly why he’s so effective!
• He wants them to need him at every moment. Soon it will feel weird to go places alone without their demon… Certain things they could do themselves, like their hair or getting dressed, they’ll want him to do instead.
• Of course, if he’s able then he’ll certainly seduce them as well and at every chance he gets! From the House to RAD and even in the throne room - he’s shameless!… But that’s the fun, isn’t it?

Beelzebub 

• Oh Beel… He’s probably the most dangerous one of them all. Not because he’s so demonic, but because he’s so sweet!
• When Beel makes food for the MC or orders them an extra side, he does so with love. He just wants them to be full! …or so he thinks.
• Beel’s demonic instincts creep up on even him, he’s just not one to really question what or why he does things sometimes. He’ll know he has the urge to see the MC eat or just be indulgent… but he won’t know why.
• You could actually say it works to his advantage. Whenever he offers the MC another turkey leg or a few more bites of cake, his tenderhearted insistence is often so sweet that they’ll just go along with it and try to keep eating… even if they’re already full.
• Now, the human body can only take so much food at once, but over time it can adapt to changing habits.
• Eventually, the MC will find their appetite expanding to catch up… They’ll stop feeling full as easily as they used to and soon the bigger portions that Beel gives them will be all but a necessity!
• Of course, the worst case scenario is that this doesn’t happen at all and they do serious harm to their health by always pushing past their limits… but there’s no guarantee Beel’s solution won’t just be more food anyway.

Belphegor 

• Belphie is the only brother who will knowingly (and gleefully) try to make the MC as sinful as he is!
• It’s all for selfish reasons. If the MC is slothful, then they’ll want to go out less and (probably) spend time with him more. Win-win if you’re Belphie.
• Since he’s well aware of what he’s doing, he’s pretty damn effective at it. No other brother will be as committed to meddling with the MC as he is.
• He’ll convince them to cancel plans or sabotage their alarms so they oversleep. He’ll suddenly be unable to sleep without them while his naps seemingly get longer and longer… And if they have something to do, he’ll be the voice in their ear saying it can wait!
• Really, at any opportunity he can get Belphie will try to drag them down or slow their progress with the sweet, sweet promise of relaxation or a good time…
• Sure, it may sound nice at the time - great even! - but it won’t take long for their promises to break or deadlines to pile up… Sure, the MC could try to catch up but wouldn’t that be too much work? Wouldn’t they rather rest instead? Why even worry about it?
• It’s a seductive line of thought and Belphie sells it well, it’d take only the most motivated MC to resist his charms but like that’d stop him. If he wants the MC for himself, he’ll happily put their life on hold to do so. Just go with it… yeah?

When MC Won’t Pick Up the Phone

Lucifer

• Usually not one to jump to any conclusions. He’ll send a text and wait an hour or two… then send another one.
• If the second text goes unread then he’s calling, though.
• If the call goes unanswered THEN he’s starting to worry and getting his brothers on the case.

Lucifer: Have any of you seen MC? They aren’t responding to my texts…

Mammon: Did you piss them off?

Satan: I bet he pissed them off.

Levi: He’s acting like a needy girlfriend, lol!

Lucifer: Care to repeat that, Levi?

Levi:Nevermind

Beel: I saw the MC in the library before I left RAD.

Lucifer: Good, bring them here and I’ll take you to Madame Scream’s.

Beel: On it!

Belphie: Wow, he IS needy…

Lucifer:

Mammon

• Mammon is a text spammer, we all know this.
• Any time he sends a message, the MC has a BARE MINIMUM of five minutes to respond, if he’s lonely not even that.
• If the MC misses the deadline, then they get what’s coming to them.

Mammon: Oi, MC!

Mammon:MC?

Mammon: Hey pick up!

Mammon: Are ya busy?

Mammon: I want to go shoppin!

Mammon:MC??

Mammon: Ya worryin me!!

MC: Mammon, I was taking a shower for fuck’s sake!

Mammon:Oh.

Mammon: … Need any help getting dressed?

Levi

• Lowkey cyberstalker?
• It’s the jealousy mostly, poor boy gets so paranoid sometimes… 
• If the MC isn’t responding to his messages then he’ll start checking all of their most used social accounts to try and see if they’re online or at least were active anywhere else.
• If he finds them on somewhere else, he’ll send a message there but they’ll have a bit of explaining to do for not responding to his text (Thankfully he has a hard time staying mad at them so they can get let off pretty easy with just a few “I love you”s)
• If he can’t find them active anywhere then he might just… call… them… But that’s a socially anxious person’s worst nightmare so that’s his last resort!
• They better pick up or he’s mobilizing the navy to go find them… Abuse of power? What does that even mean? 

Satan

• Satan can be kind of hard to keep track of himself so he’s more forgiving.
• If he can’t get ahold of MC, then he’s more likely to assume that they’re just busy and give them a few hours to respond.
• If they’re actually busy, then he’s very lax and doesn’t mind if they’re a little late.
• If he gets worried, he’ll ask around, but he tends to air on the side of more rational explanations for their silence than jumping to conclusions.
• But if they’re giving him some kind of silent treatment or just didn’t feel like responding… then oh boy… 
• A word to the wise, don’t ignore Satan. He can skip their mind, but DON’T ignore him. He doesn’t react to pettiness well…
• Punishment will be in order. Take your warning now.

Asmo

• Honestly, even worse than Mammon.
• He’ll tell you that text spam is tacky, but what Asmo does isn’t much better.
• If the MC doesn’t respond to him in the time he likes, then he’ll just start texting them things. Random things.

Asmo:MC~!

Asmo: I absolutely MUST tell you about this jacket I just saw in Magolish today!!

Asmo: It’s just perfect for yours truly, you HAVE to see it!

Asmo:MC?

Asmo:Hello?

Asmo: MC, you’re going to miss seeing me in my jacket!!

Asmo: I also have to tell you about what Simeon did today in class when Mammon tried to pick his pocket!

Asmo: He had that idiot in an arm lock so fast Baal hadn’t finished his sentence!

Asmo:MC?

Asmo: I’m still waiting for you to see my jacket!

• If it gets too bad, they’ll start getting sent selfies of a sad Asmo looking like a lost puppy without their attention…
• He rarely holds their lapses in attention against them, but he starts getting actually worried then they have better have a good reason.

Beel

• Honestly, he’s kind of the one who’s hard to get ahold of. Between practices, workouts, and the fact that he HAS accidentally eaten his phone a couple times, Beel can take a bit to get back to someone…
• He’s extra understanding if the MC doesn’t get his messages. Never mad at all. He honestly prefers to tell them things in person anyway so it works out.
• … If he can find them that is. If he hasn’t seen them all day and they aren’t responding then you’re going to get a worried Beel.
• He’ll send a few more messages, make a few calls, ask his brothers what’s up, that sort of thing. If all else fails, he’ll go through their laundry then use his nose to sniff them out like a bloodhound.
• At that point, they better be locked in a tower or something or you’ll have a very upset Beel. Not mad, just upset (which could honestly be worse… Don’t worry him like that! )

Belphie

• Think that because he’s dead to the world half the day, they get to be lazy with his texts? Wrong.
• Brat of the highest caliber, if he wants to hear from them then he wants to hear from them NOW. Unfortunately, he’s mostly awake during the weirdest times so good luck…

Belphie:MC?

Belphie: MC? Are you awake?

Belphie: I can’t sleep.

Belphie:MC?

Belphie: MC, I’m bored…

MC: Belphie, do you know what time it is…?

Belphie: Oh good, you’re awake.

MC: No thanks to you…

Belphie: Would you like to go back to sleep? Me too.

Belphie: Come up to the attic, we can sleep there together.

MC: Goodnight Belphie.

Belphie: Wait MC

Belphie: … did you just turn your phone off again?

Belphie: No fair…
