You sometimes forget how strong demons really are. You never thought of them as your equal from the start, because you are only a human, a fragile one at that. You know you can get hurt easily, crushed by things they would barely notice, even if you try your best to protect yourself. Most of the time, they are careful, but there are moments when they forget that your body is not made to handle their strength.

One time, you were talking with Diavolo, standing close as he laughed loudly at something you said. He laughed so hard that his stomach hurt, and without thinking, he gave you a friendly pat on the back.

It sent you straight to the ground. You hit the floor before you even realized what happened. Diavolo froze, then panicked, immediately apologizing over and over, fussing over you with so much guilt that he completely forgot for a moment that his strength was never normal to begin with.

Another time, Belphie was asleep with his head on your lap. You were relaxed, gently playing with his hair, until he shifted in his sleep and his demon tail suddenly slapped your face.

Mammon, who was right beside you, immediately shouted at Belphie for hurting you. Later, when you checked, there was a bruise forming on your cheek. You didn’t even expect it to bruise.

You and Levi were late for a convention, and he grabbed your arm and started running, panic pushing him forward as he dragged you along. It was only later that you noticed the marks on your arm, dark and sore from how tightly he held you. None of them ever meant to hurt you, but moments like these reminded you again and again that you are human, and they are demons.

You ended up scolding them again and command them to not touch you for a week because there are bruises everywhere, you need to let it heal somehow or else people gonna assume the worse.

"I love you so much my dear... this is my last goodbye—"

"quit being dramatic it's just a flu"

simple cough and cold, with a little fever that would subside after a few days of bitter medicine and rest. this man right here acts as if he is dying. so dramatic that even shakespeare would fail.

you plop the cold towel on his forehead after wringing it, a thermometer loosely dangling from his mouth, either from tiredness or to emphasize his condition...or maybe both.

he blinks at you with dazed eyes, glossed over from fever. "it really hurts everywhere..." he says with a raspy and hoarse voice, coughing after. you sigh "I know, honey but this is the best for flu okay? here take your medicine" "ugh"

it was a cup of greenish liquid with origins you both knew and trusted. but still, the strong and bitter taste cringed the soul out of him "I can't believe they make us patients take these blegh.."

you let out a chuckle at his childlike antics. he may be composed or stoic in broad daylight, but when it's just you two or when he's sick, he IS going to act like so and hope you pamper him. afterall, even men deserve some princess treatment.

"lay down now, I'll heat up the porridge" yoh pressed a kiss to his forehead, stray strands of hair sticking from the sweat due to fever. "you shouldn't kiss me like that..." he gazed at you with bleary eyes "you'll get sick and catch my cold dear..."

with a final kiss to his cheek, "then you won't be alone"

the human condition

pairings: the brothers/Reader, Diavolo/Reader, Solomon/Reader (can be interpreted as platonic or romantic)

summary: You’re sorting through paperwork with Lucifer when you accidentally slide your fingertip against the corner of a page. “Ow,” you say instinctually, more out of reflex than genuine pain. “Are you alright?” Lucifer asks, looking up from his papers for the first time since you started this task. “Oh, yeah,” you wave his concern off. “Just got a paper cut.” “A paper cut,” Lucifer repeats with bemusement and skepticism. “You got hurt by a piece of paper,” he says incredulously.

The demon brothers learn a valuable lesson as they grow to include you in their lives: humans are very strange.

When you lean over his desk, mistletoe dangling mischievously between you, he pauses his work. For a second he just blinks at it, at you, before a slow, knowing sigh slips out. “Is this another human tradition?” There’s a glint of amusement in his eyes. After you explain the mistletoe, one brow arches. “If you wanted a kiss, all you needed to do was ask.” Before you can respond, his hand grips your waist and he pulls you into his lap, cradling you against him. He takes the mistletoe from your hand and holds it above your heads with a quiet, smug little hum. “Very well… I suppose I have a moment to indulge you.” His first kiss is slow and warm, savoring the feeling of your lips pressed against his. But the second kiss is deeper, hungrier, his free hand sliding into your hair as he tilts your head and presses closer. The mistletoe slips from his fingers and drops somewhere on the floor, forgotten the instant his lips part yours fully. When he finally pulls back, both of you breathless, he murmurs against your ear, “you’ll stay in my room tonight.” A quiet command. “You can show me what other human traditions I should learn.”

𝗠𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻

He’s wobbling on a little step stool outside your door, clumsily trying to tape mistletoe up. The tape sticks to his fingers more than the wall and he's grumbling under his breath. When you catch him in the act, he jumps so hard the stool shakes, and he falls straight on his ass. "OW OW OW! MC! Don't sneak up on me like that!" You point at the mistletoe, his face goes red instantly, looking away. "O-okay listen! Solomon was runnin’ his mouth about human holidays, alright? And he said when two people..." He motions towards the mistletoe, voice getting smaller. "You know.. stand under this stupid thing… they’re s’posed to kiss..." He hides his burning face in his hands. “But it’s not like I wanna kiss ya or nothin’!” "Mammon—" "OKAY, FINE! I do wanna kiss ya!" He's standing now, both of you under the mistletoe. His hands hover over your arms as his eyes flicker between your eyes and lips, nervous and desperately hopeful. He keeps biting his lip like he’s trying not to die. You can't help but laugh, cupping his face and pulling his lips down onto yours. The kiss is soft and warm. He freezes, eyes growing wide, before he melts completely, eyes fluttering shut as he lets out a shaky groan. His hands slide to your waist, pulling you close. When you part, his eyes are searching yours. He scoops you up bridal style, kicking the door closed, mistletoe now dangling dangerously close to falling as he caries you to your bed, grinning cheekily. "I’mma need more of those kisses. Way more!”

𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻

You're both curled up together, playing a cute Christmas themed RPG in his room (stardew valley type vibes). Soft music, sparkling snow, watching as your avatars bounce around the winter wonderland. "OOO I got a new item!" He smiles excitedly, and you both watch as a present pops open with a little Christmas jingle playing. The item was a bundle of Mistletoe, and the description read: Give this item to a player for a festive kiss! You're both blushing now, and there's a long silence between you as the Christmas jingle loops, the virtual mistletoe sparkling back at you. "I-I’ll just delete—" He starts, but you cut him off. "Levi." "O-OK!" His hands are trembling as he selects the option and sends the mistletoe to you. Both of you watch as the tiny pixel mistletoe floats between your avatars… and they do a cute quick peck on the lips. "OMG I JUST KISSED YOU." He drops face first into his pillow, kicking his feet like he’s about to explode. He’s red down to his neck, even a virtual kiss with you is too much for him. When he lifts his head again, you lean in and kiss him the same way the avatars did. Soft. Quick. Sweet. His mouth is hanging open when you pull back, frozen. "OMG, NOW YOU JUST KISSED ME!" He's screaming into his pillow now, but there's a smile on his face.

𝗦𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗻

Snow clings to both of you as you make your way through the forest, cat treats in hand. When he notices your shoulders tremble, he stops, and slips his jacket around you without hesitation. “I told you to bring a warmer jacket,” he murmurs, but his voice is far too soft to be scolding, brushing a stray snowflake from your hair. "I’m certain the cat was just over here…” He threads his fingers through yours as he guides you between snow covered branches, unwilling to leave the stray cat he found yesterday in the cold. There's a faint blush on his cheeks, and he swears it's from the cold. It's not. You’re scanning the ground for tracks when Satan gently lifts your chin with two fingers. “Hold still.” You blink, confused, until he nods upward. Mistletoe hangs above you, swaying lightly in the cool wind. He absolutely noticed it first, and absolutely walked you under it on purpose, but his smug smile never quite reaches his eyes, too gentle for that as he leans down. "May I?" He asks softly, you nod. He captures your lips in a slow, warm kiss, so different from the cold nipping at your skin. His hands cradle your face gently, thumbs sweeping your cold cheeks like he’s trying to warm them himself. When he pulls away, he rests his forehead on yours, and you can see your frosted breath mingling in the chilly air. He looks at you so fondly, leaving another soft kiss on your frosty red nose. Meow A tiny orange tabby trudges through the snow toward you, whiskers frosted. Satan’s eyes go wide and a look of genuine delight flashes across his face, he lets out a soft gasp and crouches down immediately. He offers treats, praising the cat like it’s the most amazing thing he’s ever seen, before scooping it carefully into his arms. Once the cat is safely tucked into his arms, he looks up at you, cheeks red and eyes bright with quiet joy. “Let’s get both of you warm,” he says, voice soft but brimming with excitement. He takes your hand, thumb brushing over your knuckles, he's smiling like Santa just gave him exactly what he wanted: a cat and you.

𝗔𝘀𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘂𝘀

Click, click, click. You’re holding Asmo’s phone, spam clicking, as he poses in front of the Christmas tree. You’d volunteewait no, you were voluntold to take photos for his Devilgram. You figure that if you just kept clicking, at least one, hopefully even three, would turn out good. “Umm, MC… are you getting my good side?” he pouts, fixing his hair for the tenth time. Click. You shrug. Eventually he plucks the phone out of your hands with a satisfied hum, smiling. “Okay! One last photo. And this one’s going to be special.” Before you can ask what that means, he whirls you around and places you in front of the tree. Then he disappears, rustling through his bag with far too much enthusiasm. When he returns, he's setting up a tripod. You stare at it so hard it's truly a Christmas miracle it doesn't burst into flames. He never actually needed you to take photos like he insisted. His cheeks are dusted a rosy pink as he drops onto the cushion beside you, hiding something behind his back. He reveals a sprig of mistletoe tied with a satin red ribbon and lifts it above your head. The warm hues of the Christmas tree lights glow around both of you, dancing across your skin. Picture perfect. His free hand tilts your chin up gently, leaning closer. "Can I?" He asks softly, his lips already brushing yours in quiet question. You're blushing now, heart thundering in your ears as you nod. His lips meet yours, slow and soft, you hear the faint click, click of the camera capturing everything. His hand glides from your chin, into your hair, pulling you closer. When you finally part, breathless, he looks a little guilty. “I'm sorry for tricking you, darling,” he murmurs, there's a soft smile on his face. “I just wanted more photos of you… of us.” He laughs lightly, but the way he’s looking at you is anything but playful. “Don’t worry, though," he brushes his thumb across your lips. "These are just for me. The world doesn’t deserve memories this precious.” And you can't tell if he's taking about your lips or the photos now. Either way, the way he holds you, like you're the only gift he wanted this year, you know he means it.

𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘇𝗲𝗯𝘂𝗯

You're sitting on the kitchen counter, mistletoe dangling above your head as you patiently wait for your gentle giant to notice. He's busy stuffing his face with cookies you'd baked, murmuring little thank yous between bites. It finally took you clearing your throat and pointing upward for him to notice. He freezes mid-bite, half-eaten cookie in hand. He looks at you, then at the mistletoe, then back at you. "Why is there a plant there?" You couldn't help but laugh, the sound making pink warm his cheeks. When you explain the meaning, he practically melts. The cookies lay forgotten as he steps closer, bracing his hands on the counter and caging you in, staring at the mistletoe like it's some kind of trap. Which, to be fair, it is. A very good trap, you think. "...I've never done this before." He murmurs softly, still staring at mistletoe instead of you. You smile gently, tilting his head down toward you. When his eyes finally meet yours, he relaxes, pressing his forehead against yours. His nose brushes yours as he leaned in, and the two of you dissolve into nervous laughter as you kiss, breath mingling. When he looks back at you it's more confident now, warm as he finally leans down fully, lips pressed against yours. Gentle, warm, and sweet. You can taste the chocolate chips on his lips as his hands settle on your hips, sliding you closer. Your hands cup his face just as gently. When you finally part, his hands slide from your hips into your hair, playing with the strands. "Hmm... I'm hungry.." He murmurs, his eyes don't leave yours as he pushes the plate of cookies away, leaning down to capture your lips again. Oh, Good luck buddy.

𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿

The sound of flames crackle and pop in the fireplace, the smell of warm ash filling the room. He lays in front of the fireplace, blankets and pillows pulled together like some nest, using the flames like a heater as he naps. You kneel beside him, brushing stray hairs from his face. He smiles. "Mc…" he murmurs drowsily, eyes fluttering open and they take a moment to adjust to the warmth of the room. He catches your hand, pressing lazy kisses to your fingers. Then he points above you. Mistletoe, hung just above the fireplace. That absolutely wasn't there when you walked in the room. Before you can even process how he managed it, he's flipping you onto your back, soft pillows and blankets cushioning you. One hand braces beside your head, pressed firmly into the pillow. The other grips your leg, draping it around his waist. Now you were in his trap. "Hmm I wonder how that got there..." He murmurs, so smugly. "Only one thing to do now, right..?" His hand moves to your chin, tilting your face up toward him. He pauses just above your lips, giving you time to push him away. When you don't, when your arms wrap around his neck instead, he smiles before pressing his lips to yours. His kiss is slow and lazy at first, before growing hungrier. His teeth catch your bottom lip, drawing a soft sound from both of you. When he finally pulls back, he doesn't move away. He buries his face in your neck, leaving breathless kisses against your skin. "…You're making it hard to stop," he murmurs against your throat, voice rough, like he wasn't the one who started it. He rolls on his back, pulling you down into the pillows with him. "Stay." He murmurs against your hair, less demanding then usual, and you could hear the soft pleading in his voice. When you settle fully against his chest, unmoving, he relaxes, tracing lazy patterns on your back. The fire crackles softly, filling the room with warmth. His hand continues tracing lazy patterns on your back, and you can feel him smile against your hair. Whatever scheme he'd planned with that mistletoe, with the way he's holding you, it worked perfectly.

THE END MWAH!

OBEY ME - CHEEK PINCHING

AUTHORS NOTE - Went through A LOT of voice lines from the game to try and make these guys as in-character as possible. Realized I know nothing about Mephistopheles or Raphael, so I didn't write about them.

LUCIFER

Lucifer notices immediately when you get distracted.

He pretends he doesn’t, of course. He keeps his arms crossed, keeps that perfect posture, but he’s watching you like a hawk the second your attention drifts.

You’ll be sitting in his office, supposedly helping with paperwork or discussing something important, and then… your focus just floats away? Hello?

I fucking love Asmo 🤤 TW: Non-con, NSFW, yandere, drugging, female reader

The last thing you remembered was drinking the chocolate milkshake Asmo had made for you. When you opened your eyes again you were staring up at the pink canopy that hung over his bed. The lights were dim, creating an intimate atmosphere.

Your eyelids were heavy and it felt as if you were miles away from your body. Your surroundings were blurry as if you were staring through a cloudy lens. A dull headache had formed and the little light in the room was hurting your sensitive eyes. A soft hum filled the silence and your eyes wandered down to the edge of the bed. Asmodeus was leaning one of his knees on the bed as his slender fingers worked the button and fly of your jeans with practiced motions.

His bright pink button-up shirt was no where to be seen and his pants were hanging dangerously loose around his slender hips. His orange eyes looked up at you with a swirl of emotions deeper than the unruly sea. His lips were moving, but you couldn’t make out what they were saying.

You tried to move your arms, but they didn’t budge. It was as if you were one with the mattress. Fear flooded your senses as your heartbeat quickened.

His lips moved again and you were finally able to grasp what he was saying. “You’re finally awake, cutie!” Asmo grinned. He lifted your hips and dragged your pants down your legs. “Just in time for some fun!”

Hi I have a head cannon scenario about mc returning to the hol because they were sent on a mission by the sorcerer society and when they get back the brothers sees them covered blood and mc reassures them by saying "Oh don't worry this isn't my blood"

🩸 It’s In My Blood! 🩸
The demon brothers’ reaction to the MC coming back covered in blood!!
Includes: Lucifer, Mammon, Leviathan, Satan, Asmodeus, Beelzebub, and Belphegor
CW: Mentions of blood, violence, implied murder, Levi almost throws up (he also passes out), they’re all pathetic for u, Satan is kinda cringe methinks.
🩸 Lucifer
  • Lucifer’s used to you being busy: you’re competent, organized, and strong enough to work with the Sorcerer’s Society. He doesn’t like it, but he respects it. Until tonight.
  • He hears the door first: a slow creak of hinges that shouldn’t make him tense, but they do. He’s halfway through paperwork when your voice floats through the hall. “I’m home.” Calm. Too calm.
  • When he turns, the first thing he sees is the blood.
  • Your clothes are drenched, streaked down your sleeves, dripping off your fingertips onto the polished floor. You’re standing there like it’s the most normal thing in the world: messy hair, tired eyes, faint smile.
  • “MC-“ His tone breaks before he can stop it. He crosses the distance in seconds, hands hovering but not touching. “Are you hurt?”
  • You glance down, blink, and laugh softly. “Oh, don’t worry. This isn’t my blood.”
  • The words don’t help. They make it worse.
  • His expression hardens immediately, that sharp, barely-contained fury that he uses when his brothers do something reckless. But now it’s turned on you. “That’s not reassuring.”
  • You shrug, half teasing, half exhausted. “It’s the truth.”
  • You try to brush past him, but he catches your wrist: not roughly, just firmly enough that you stop. There’s blood smeared across his glove now.
  • “Tell me what happened.”
  • His voice is calm, but it’s the calm of a man holding back a storm.
  • You try to downplay it: “A rogue familiar. The mission got messy.”
  • He doesn’t buy it. He looks at you like he can see through every word, every forced smile. “You nearly died.”
  • “But I didn’t.” You give him that tired grin again, trying to lighten it. “Mission accomplished.”
  • There’s a long silence. The kind that stretches thin and heavy. Then, quietly:
  • “You forget sometimes,” he says, “that you’re still human.”
  • He takes a deep breath, removes his bloodstained gloves, and cups your face carefully, thumb brushing the edge of a cut you didn’t realize you had. “You can’t keep walking into danger like this. Not alone.”
  • “You worry too much,” you whisper.
  • “And you don’t worry enough.” His gaze softens then, the edge breaking into quiet affection. “You’re shaking.”
  • You hadn’t noticed until he said it. He pulls you closer before you can argue, letting you bury your face against his shoulder. He smells like clean parchment and dark magic. His heartbeat is steady, grounding.
  • “Next time,” he murmurs against your hair, “I’m coming with you. If the Sorcerer’s Society has a problem with that, they can answer to me.”
  • You laugh, weakly. “You’d terrify them.”
  • “Good,” he says. “Maybe then they’ll stop sending you to clean up their messes.”
  • He doesn’t let go for a long time. Not until he’s sure the shaking has stopped, and the blood’s been washed away, and the faint scent of iron is gone from your skin. Only then does he finally exhale.
  • Later, when he thinks you’re asleep, he sits beside your bed: quiet, expression unreadable. “Not your blood,” he murmurs, almost to himself.
🩸 Mammon
  • Mammon’s the first one who hears you come home not because he’s paying attention, but because he was literally leaning on the front door waiting for you like a golden retriever with attachment issues.
  • The second the door swings open and he sees the blood, he stops breathing. For a full two seconds. His brain just blue-screens.
  • “MC!! MC!! MC WHAT HAPPENED—?!?”
  • His voice goes up at least three octaves. He sounds like a dying kettle.
  • You try to speak, but you can’t even get one word out before he SCREAMS:
  • “STAY STILL, I’M GETTIN’ THE KIT! DON’T MOVE- DON’T YOU DARE MOVE-“
  • And then he’s gone. Full sprint. Full panic.
  • You hear multiple crashes, a yell, a curse, two thuds, the sound of something breaking, and then..
  • BAM
  • He’s back, skidding into you with… a first-aid kit, a roll of duct tape, and a plushie he grabbed for emotional support.
  • “Okay okay okay… lemme- lemme see where ya bleedin’-“
  • His hands hover everywhere but never touch, because he’s afraid one wrong move is gonna make your spleen fall out or something.
  • “Mammon.”
  • “WHAT?!”
  • “It’s not my blood.”
  • “I- WHAT?! HUH?!”
  • He freezes.
  • Literally freezes like someone hit him with Medusa’s gaze.
  • Slowly, very slowly, his expression changes from pure terror… to confusion… to angry relief.
  • “…Why would ya walk in here covered in someone else’s blood?!”
  • “It was a mission.”
  • “MISSION MY ASS!”
  • He starts wiping your face with trembling hands, muttering under his breath:
  • “Stupid humans… stupid sorcerers… stupid society… sendin’ ya out alone like yer some kinda immortal or somethin’…”
  • He’s trying to hide that his hands are still shaking.
  • You try to tease him. “Aww, were you worried?”
  • “Worried?! I thought ya DIED, MC. Like dead dead. Like Belphie’s-favorite-bedtime-story dead!”
  • Once he finishes checking you over for injuries (twice), he pulls you into a tight hug. No hesitation.
  • His head buries into your shoulder.
  • “’M never lettin’ ya leave like that again,” he mumbles. “Not without me.”
  • You pat his back. “I’m okay, Mammon.”
  • “Ya ain’t allowed to look like that again,” he grumbles. “I aged like fifty years in five minutes.”
  • It’s only when you lift your arms and he sees more dried blood crackling on your sleeves that he yelps again:
  • “NOPE! SHOWER NOW! GOIN’ WITH YA! NOT LIKE THAT BUT LIKE… NEAR YA! JUST IN CASE-“
  • And for the rest of the night, he follows you everywhere. Not subtly. Not coolly.
  • Hovering. Protecting. Muttering threats at the Sorcerer’s Society under his breath.
  • When you finally fall asleep, he sits on the floor by your bed, back against the frame, arms crossed.
  • “I ain’t sleepin’ tonight,” he whispers, watching your breathing steady. “Not till I’m sure ya ain’t disappear on me again.”
  • And he doesn’t. He stays awake the whole night. Just in case.
🩸 Leviathan
  • Levi doesn’t hear you come in, he senses it. Like a startled cat.
  • He peeks out of his door because you were supposed to be gone on a mission and he just, y’know… wanted to check you weren’t dead. Totally normal. Totally fine. Definitely not worrying himself to death.
  • Then he sees you. And all the blood. Levi makes a noise no human language can describe.
  • Something between a squeak, a scream, and a Windows error sound.
  • MC—M-MC—WH—WHAT—NO—N-NO WAY—”
  • He’s already shaking. Like whole-body trembling. He steps forward, and then immediately steps back. And then steps forward again.
  • And then he bends over at the waist like he’s about to throw up.
  • * You calmly say, “Levi. It’s not my blood.”
  • He stops. Blinks. His eye twitches. And then he just… drops like a ragdoll NPC whose physics glitched.
  • You rush forward and kneel down, shaking him gently until he gasps awake and IMMEDIATELY starts dry heaving.
  • “I—I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD—MC—THAT MUCH BLOOD IS NEVER GOOD—NEVER—NOT EVEN IN SHONEN—EVEN IN SHONEN THEY DIE—AND—AND—YOU—AND—AND—”
  • You try to reassure him again, but he’s spiraling too fast to hear you.
  • “DID YOU FIGHT A DEMON KING?! A CURSED BEAST?! A WHOLE RAID PARTY?! MC, YOU ARE LEVEL ONE COMPARED TO THEM—YOU CAN’T JUST—YOU CAN’T JUST WALK IN HERE LIKE A BLOOD-COVERED DLC—”
  • He pauses. Realizes he’s yelling. Immediately turns red.
  • “S-Sorry… I just… I thought… I can’t—”
  • He hides his face in his hands.
  • “I don’t do well with… b-blood. Or… you being hurt. Or… you being gone at all.”
  • You sit beside him, leaning gently against his shoulder and he stiffens like you just upgraded him to premium affection content.
  • Levi, I’m okay. Really.”
  • “But—but it was—there was so much—”
  • “Not mine.”
  • “I still almost threw up.”
  • You laugh, and it actually calms him a little. He peeks at you through his fingers.
  • “MC… next time… can you… I dunno… send a message? Or—or a selfie? Or maybe… maybe one of those ‘I survived’ stickers? I DON’T KNOW, JUST… SOMETHING??”
  • You pat his head. He turns bright red and looks like he might pass out again.
  • “Also-” he mumbles, voice barely above a whisper—
  • “If you ever die, I’m joining you. Just so you know.”
  • You blink. “Levi… that’s not how-“
  • “TOO LATE, I SAID IT.”
  • He buries his face in your shoulder this time, trembling but clinging tight.
  • And later, when you’re showered and resting, Levi sits on the floor by your bed, wrapped in a blanket like a traumatized cinnamon roll, whispering to himself:
  • “They’re okay… they’re okay… thank the anime gods, they’re okay…”
🩸 Satan
  • Satan hears the front door open and doesn’t think much of it because he’s in the library, sorting through books and sipping tea.
  • But then he hears Mammon scream. Then Levi gag. That gets his attention.
  • He steps into the hall, ready to lecture them both, and then he sees you. Blood-soaked. Dripping. Pale and exhausted.
  • Everything inside him stops. Then it erupts.
  • Satan’s rage doesn’t explode outward, not at first. It condenses. Sharpens. The air around him changes.
  • His voice is low, dangerous, the kind that makes even demons freeze.
  • “Who did this.”
  • Your mouth opens.
  • “Oh, don’t worry. This isn’t my-“
  • He doesn’t let you finish. His footsteps echo like thunder as he closes the distance in seconds: hands clenched, jaw tight, pupils blown wide with fury.
  • “Don’t lie to me.”
  • It’s not a command. It’s a threat wrapped in grief.
  • Satan, really, this isn’t-“
  • You touch his arm, and he flinches at the blood not because he’s squeamish, but because he thinks it’s yours.
  • Linked books on the shelves around you begin to tremble. Pages flutter. A pressure fills the air.
  • “Tell me their name.”
  • You finally manage to get the words out.
  • “It’s not my blood.”
  • The rage pauses mid-eruption like someone hit a giant, explosive “pause” button on the wrath in his chest.
  • “…It’s not… your blood?”
  • His eyes narrow, analyzing every inch of you.
  • “Is any of it yours? Any at all?”
  • “No.”
  • “Not even a cut?”
  • “Nope.”
  • And just like that, the explosive rage melts into something even more dangerous: cold, calculated fury.
  • “Then whose blood is it?”
  • “A demon we were sent after. It… got messy.”
  • “Messy.”
  • He repeats the word like it’s poison.
  • “And they sent you alone?”
  • You explain that the Sorcerer’s Society assigned you a mission, that you couldn’t refuse, that you handled it fine. He's quiet for a moment. Too quiet.
  • And then he smiles. It’s not a nice smile. It’s the smile of a demon who has decided on murder.
  • “You’re not going back there without one of us.”
  • His voice is soft. Soft in the way that means he’s seconds from violence.
  • “They’ll learn not to use you as a disposable pawn.”
  • He gently wipes a streak of blood off your cheek with his thumb. His touch is tender. His gaze is lethal.
  • “I should have been there,” he mutters, voice cracking just enough that you feel it.
  • “If I’d known… if I’d sensed even a fragment of danger, I-”
  • He stops himself. Clenches his fists until his knuckles go white.
  • “You matter. More than they understand.”
  • When he walks you to your room, he stays close: not hovering like Mammon, not trembling like Levi. He’s calm. Dangerously calm.
  • After you fall asleep, he doesn’t leave immediately. He stands there, watching your breathing settle, jaw tight.
  • And then he says quietly,
  • “If that blood had been yours… the Devildom would’ve burned.”
  • You don’t hear it but he means every word.
🩸 Asmodeus
  • Asmo is humming to himself down the hall, face mask on, nails drying, fully in his “self-care king” era when he hears the door open.
  • He turns around with a sparkle in his eyes:
  • “MC!! You’re back sooo-“
  • He screams. Like, hand-to-chest, full-body, opera-level scream.
  • “A-AHHHH!! MC!! MC, WHAT—WHAT EVEN—IS—IS THAT—IS—THAT—BLOOD?!?!”
  • He stumbles back into the wall like he’s about to faint. His face mask literally slides down his cheek from how hard he gasps.
  • “NO, NO, NO—MC, DARLING—WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU—DON’T TALK—DON’T MOVE—DON’T—DON’T BLEED ANY FURTHER—OH DIAVOLO YOU’RE GOING PALE—”
  • Asmo…It’s not my blood.”
  • He freezes. Blinks once. Twice. Then slowly rolls his lip gloss back onto his mouth like he needs strength for what he’s about to say.
  • “Okay.”
  • Deep breath.
  • “Now that I know you’re not dying…”
  • He points a perfectly manicured finger at you with pure judgment.
  • “THAT SHADE OF RED DOES. NOT. SUIT. YOU.”
  • He launches forward in a flurry of offended shrieks.
  • “Oh my DIAVOLO, MC!! Your undertones! Your vibe! Your aesthetic! You look like someone dipped you in tomato paste!!”
  • You try not to laugh as he circles you, snapping his fingers dramatically.
  • “This is a CRIME, an absolute CRIME against beauty! Whoever did this to you needs to be arrested for TREASON!”
  • Asmo. I’m fine.”
  • “NO YOU ARE NOT. YOU CANNOT BE FINE WHILE LOOKING LIKE A CORPSE COVERED IN THE WRONG PALETTE.”
  • He grabs your wrist and yanks you toward the nearest bathroom like a mom dragging her kid into Target.
  • “We’re going to get this off you RIGHT now. And then I’m giving you a deep cleanse, a gentle exfoliation…”
  • His voice drops. Dead serious.
  • “…and then I want every single detail about who made this mess.”
  • You pause. “Why?”
  • He smiles. Not his cutesy smile. Not his flirty smile. His demon smile. Sharp. Beautiful. Terrifying.
  • “Because if someone splattered their ugly blood all over my lovely MC… I want to rip them apart for ruining your skin’s natural radiance.”
  • You blink. “Asmo…”
  • He puts a finger to your lips.
  • “Shhh. Let me be upset for you.”
  • His voice softens, warm and trembling at the edges.
  • “I don’t like seeing you covered in red unless it’s lipstick. My lipstick.”
  • Once he’s gotten all the blood off and confirmed you have zero wounds, he finally slumps against the counter in relief.
  • “Ughhhh, MC… I was sooo scared…”
  • His lower lip trembles. He hides his face in your shoulder like a child.
  • “Promise me you’ll come back in pink next time. Or at least something flattering. Something soft. Something you.”
  • And when you laugh and hug him back, he squeezes you tighter, whispering:
  • “Not your blood… but you still scared me half to death. Don’t do that again.”
🩸 Beelzebub
  • Beel hears the commotion from the kitchen: Mammon shouting, Levi screaming, Satan’s magic crackling.
  • He drops the snack he was about to eat and jogs toward the noise, confused but alert.
  • He turns the corner and sees you standing in the doorway, drenched in blood. His breath catches. But instead of panicking, yelling, or fainting… He just stops. Completely still. His expression softens into something heartbreakingly sad.
  • “MC…?”
  • His voice is so gentle it hurts.
  • He walks toward you slowly, like he’s afraid you’ll break if he moves too fast.
  • “Are you hurt?”
  • No fear in his tone. Just steady, quiet concern.
  • “No. It’s not my blood.”
  • You smile a little. He stares at you. Not at the blood, at you. Searching your face, scanning for injuries, checking your breathing, making sure you’re standing upright.
  • Once he confirms you’re not in pain, his shoulders relax a little. And then comes the silent anger.
  • Beel doesn’t explode. He doesn’t growl. He doesn’t show fangs. His eyes just harden. A slow, simmering fury that comes from deep in his chest, the kind that makes even demons step back.
  • “They sent you alone?”
  • His tone is dangerously calm.
  • “Sort of. They didn’t think it was that dangerous…”
  • His jaw clenches. That’s the only sign he’s angry. But the air around him changes.
  • “The Sorcerer’s Society was wrong.”
  • He looks at your clothes again and his brows pull together.
  • “You could’ve gotten hurt. They should’ve known.”
  • His voice is soft, but firm.
  • “They should’ve sent help.”
  • You try to reassure him, but he quietly shakes his head.
  • “MC… you’re strong. I know that. We all know that.”
  • He looks down, eyes full of worry.
  • “But you’re not invincible. And that scares me.”
  • He steps closer, gently wiping a smear of blood from your cheek with the back of his hand. He doesn’t flinch or recoil. Beel’s never been afraid of blood.
  • But seeing it on you makes his stomach twist in a way hunger never has.
  • “Next time,” he murmurs, “I’m coming with you.”
  • A vow in his warm, earnest voice. When he hugs you, it’s careful. Like he’s holding something precious.
  • You feel him exhale against your hair a long, slow breath of relief that you came home.
  • “I’m glad you’re okay,” he whispers.
  • And then, almost shyly:
  • “Are you hungry? I made dinner before you came back.”
  • He insists you eat something. Watches to make sure you do. And later, as you’re settling down for the night, he sits quietly by your door, leaning against the frame.
  • Because Beel doesn’t scream or rage. He protects because he failed before. And tonight, he’s not letting anything else get close enough to hurt you.
🩸 Belphegor
  • Belphie wakes up before you step through the door. He always does when something’s wrong. It’s that instinct of his, the same one that kicks in when Beel’s starving or when danger prowls the halls of the House of Lamentation.
  • He sits up on the attic bed, eyes groggy, hair a mess, but his stomach is tight. Something feels… off. Like a nightmare he hasn’t had yet.
  • Then he hears Mammon shriek. Levi gag. Satan’s magic flaring like wildfire. And Beel’s steady anger.
  • Belphie’s heart drops. He recognizes this atmosphere. He’s felt it before.
  • When he killed you.
  • He’s already halfway down the stairs when he sees you. Covered in blood. Standing in the doorway. Breathing.
  • But that doesn’t matter, the sight hits him like a memory to the skull.
  • That day in the attic. Your body. The blood. The smell. The silence.
  • He freezes mid-step, pupils shrinking. His breath hitches, barely audible.
  • “MC…?”
  • His voice cracks on the first syllable. You turn toward him and smile weakly.
  • Belphie. I’m okay. It’s not my blood.”
  • It doesn’t help. It doesn’t reach him. Not immediately.
  • He walks toward you slowly, too slowly. Like he’s afraid you’ll vanish if he blinks.
  • “Don’t lie.”
  • His tone is quiet. Dangerous. Too close to the voice he used the day he killed you. You swallow.
  • “I’m not lying. I swear. This isn’t mine.”
  • He stops right in front of you, touching your cheek with the very tips of his fingers like he’s scared to touch too much and confirm something horrible.
  • Then he suddenly pulls you into him. Arms tight. Desperate. Clinging.
  • His voice muffles against your shoulder.
  • “You smell like blood.”
  • He hates it. He hates how familiar it feels. How familiar you feel like this.
  • “I know,” you whisper. “I’m okay, Belphie.”
  • He shakes his head. Slowly. Like he’s in a trance.
  • “I thought…”
  • His voice breaks. He grips your shirt tighter.
  • “I thought I would have to watch you die again.”
  • That’s when it hits him: it’s not your blood. Not your wound. Not your final breath.
  • He pulls back just enough to look at you, eyes trembling.
  • “Whose is it?”
  • “A demon the Sorcerer’s Society sent me after,” you explain. “It got messy.”
  • That’s all he needs to hear.
  • “I hate them.”
  • He says it plainly. Eyes lidded, voice cold.
  • “They don’t care if you get hurt. They don’t care what they put you through.”
  • You open your mouth to rebut, but he presses a hand over your lips.
  • “No.”
  • His tone softens but the intensity in it doesn’t.
  • “I’m not letting them use you like that. Ever again.”
  • He guides you upstairs, half dragging you, half hugging you, refusing to look away even once.
  • “You’re sleeping with me tonight.”
  • Not a suggestion. Not a request. Not even a demand. A necessity.
  • When he tucks you into bed, he curls around you protectively: arms around your waist, legs intertwined, chin resting on your shoulder.
  • His hand stays over your heart, feeling its steady rhythm like he needs proof.
  • “I’m not losing you,” he whispers. “Not again. Not ever.”
  • And as you drift off, he keeps his eyes open, watching your chest rise and fall. Making sure this time, you stay alive.
  • Later that night, when you’re dreaming peacefully, he whispers to himself:
  • “If they ever send you into danger like that again… I’ll kill them before they get the chance.”
  • And the worst part? He means every word.
🩸 Poly!Brothers
  • When you opened the door to the House of Lamentation, blood dripping down your clothes and pooling onto the floor, seven demons froze in place as if time itself stopped breathing. They’d all been waiting for you together, restless and anxious because your mission with the Sorcerer’s Society ran later than expected. Lucifer was halfway through lecturing Mammon about pacing holes into the floor. Levi was nervously scrolling on his D.D.D. Satan had been pretending to read the same sentence in his book for half an hour. Beel kept checking the window. Belphie dozed fitfully on the couch. Even Asmo couldn’t relax enough to paint his nails.
  • Then you stepped inside, and the room shattered.
  • Mammon screamed first, high and panicked, sprinting toward you like the world was ending. Levi choked on his own breath, gagging between shock and terror. Satan’s book slipped from his fingers, hitting the ground without him noticing. Asmo screamed so loud the windows rattled. Beel stared at you like he’d forgotten how to speak. Belphegor jolted awake so violently he nearly fell off the couch. And LuciferLucifer went dead still, the color draining from his face in a way none of them had ever seen before.
  • “MC?!” Seven voices, overlapping, cracking, desperate.
  • You forced a tired smile. “Don’t worry. This isn’t my blood.”
  • But relief didn’t come. It only made everything worse.
  • Lucifer moved first, closing the distance in three strides, hands hovering but afraid to touch you. The rage in his eyes burned so sharply the air felt like it vibrated. “Not your blood?” he repeated quietly, as if tasting the phrase and finding it poisonous. “Then why… do you look like you barely survived a war?” His fingers brushed your cheek, trembling despite how controlled he tried to seem.
  • Mammon practically shoved him aside, grabbing your face with shaking hands. “Babe, babe what the hell?! Why didn’t ya call me?! Why didn’t ya call ANY of us?!” He wiped at the blood on your skin and made a strangled noise when it smeared instead of disappearing. “I thought you were… I thought—”
  • Levi pressed himself against the wall, pale as a ghost, eyes darting wildly between you and the puddles on the floor. “Oh no… oh no… oh no… this is like episode 97 of The Time I Reincarnated as a Demon when the protagonist comes back half-dead… MC I can’t—I can’t handle this in real life—” He looked one second from fainting again.
  • Asmo approached slowly, tiptoeing around the blood, face twisted in horror not at the gore, but at it being on you. “Darling… you look absolutely awful… this shade of red is doing you NO favors.” His voice wobbled. His hands trembled as he reached out, stroking your cheek gently. “Why would anyone do this to your pretty skin…?”
  • Satan said nothing at all. He simply stared at you with eyes that promised violence, fury radiating from him like heat from a furnace. The moment you met his gaze, he stepped forward, lifting your chin with a single finger. “Tell me who did this,” he said quietly, too quietly. “I won’t ask again.”
  • Beel was the gentlest. He knelt right in front of you and took your hands carefully, like you might crumble if he gripped too tight. His voice was soft, rough around the edges. “You smell like blood,” he whispered, and it broke him more than anything. “MC… you shouldn’t ever come home like this. You shouldn’t have to.” His thumbs brushed over your knuckles, steady and warm. “You’re safe now. We’ll take care of you.”
  • Belphegor reached you last but when he did, it hit the hardest. He grabbed your sleeve, eyes trembling, breath shallow. “You looked… you looked like this the day I…” He didn’t finish. Couldn’t. He buried his face into your shoulder, arms wrapping around your waist in a vice grip. “Don’t ever walk in here looking like that again. You have no idea what it does to me.”
  • All seven closed in around you then, forming a tight circle: a barrier of bodies, warmth, magic, and raw emotion. Mammon’s chest pressed to your side, arms around you. Belphie clung to your waist like you might vanish. Levi clutched your sleeve, trying not to faint. Beel held your hand against his cheek. Asmo gently stroked your hair. Satan stood behind you, protective and vibrating with unspoken wrath. Lucifer rested a hand between your shoulder blades, grounding you with the weight of someone who almost lost everything.
  • They didn’t let go. Not when you explained the mission. Not when you insisted you were fine. Not even when you tried to step forward.
  • Instead, they slowly, carefully, guided you to the bathroom. Seven pairs of trembling hands washed the blood from your skin. Warm towels. Gentle touches. Quiet murmurs of your name. Lucifer’s palms steadying your shoulders. Mammon massaging shampoo into your hair with a softness he didn’t know he had. Asmo running warm water over your arms. Satan silently checking every inch of skin for injury with clinical precision. Beel holding your hand so you wouldn’t shake. Levi handing you clean clothes with red face and watery eyes. Belphie pressing kisses to your temple each time his hands passed your neck.
  • When you were finally clean, dry, and changed, they guided you to bed, not letting you walk alone for even one second. Lucifer pulled the blanket over you. Asmo tucked the corners in. Satan wiped a final smear of blood from your jaw. Beel pressed a snack into your hand “just in case.” Levi set up the pillows. Mammon lay down beside you protectively. Belphie curled around you like a second blanket.
  • And the others joined. All seven. Surrounding you. Holding you. Breathing with you. You fell asleep in a tangle of limbs, warmth, and quiet whispers:
  • “You’re safe.”
  • “We’ve got you.”
  • “Never again.”
  • “Stay with us.”
  • “We love you.”
  • Seven demons. One human. And the unshakeable truth that none of them could survive losing you, not again, not ever.
