Barbatos Is So Pretty

You cannot tell me that he isn't pretty. He's even prettier than Asmo! Fuck getting that simeon card! I need to have this card

GN! MC

You spit out your beverage as you stare at Barbatos with wide eyes who's apparently now a woman. Yes. A woman. The butler notices your staring and sighs, knowing that you're staring at him because he's now the opposite gender. "MC, I know that I've changed into a woman but staring is considered rude, you know?"

You quickly snap back to reality and turn away, laughing nervously. "Ahaha, well, I can't help it."

Barbatos sighs once again but smiles nonetheless. "It's fine. It's understandable why you stare but I appreciate it if you don't. Anyway, I'll be off."

You take one last look at Barbatos, watching as he walks away until he's no longer within your sight. Then, you immediately combust, face turning red and you bury your face in your hands.

'He's so pretty!', you thought.

Yes, he was extremely pretty, prettier than Asmodeus even. With his long hair flowing so nicely as he walks, his lips looking softer and plumper than before and his face so feminine and beautiful that you couldn't help but want to touch. He was so beautiful as a woman that you're now questioning if you like him better as a man or a woman.

"Yo!" A hand harshly hits your back, making you jump.

You turn to face Solomon who's looking at you with a smirk. He then puts a hand on your shoulder and leans towards you. "So, what did you think of Barbatos' new look?"

"What?" It took you a while to register his words. "Wait, you did that?"

"Yes, but not intentionally. You see, I was trying out a new spell to make one disintegrate into thin air but I must've put in the wrong ingredient because while I was going to test it on some random demon asshole, I accidentally bumped into Barbatos because I was in a hurry and now here we are." The wizard explains.

"I'm surprised he isn't angry."

"I'm more surprised he hasn't killed me yet."

Internally, you are praising and thanking Solomon for blessing you with such a thing because Barbatos is so fucking pretty as a woman. As if your friend can read your mind, he smirks and pokes your cheek. "You like him better this way, don't you?"

Your face is immediately flaming once again. "N-No! W-Well... Maybe..."

Solomon's smirk widens. "Oh?"

"You can't blame me! He looks so pretty that I... I, well... Gah! Forget it!" You get flustered when you remember Barbatos again.

"C'mon. Don't tell me you weren't looking."

"I am looking respectfully!"

"Liar."

"Shush!"

You cover your face again and shout out incoherent sentences but if Solomon had to guess, he bets you were saying something like, "Barbatos is so pretty, it's not fair."

The wizard laughs and pats your back. "Let it all out, buddy. I gotta admit, if he were a woman, I'd totally try and woo him. Definitely my type."

You turn your head towards Solomon so quickly you might as well be the Flash. "How dare you."

"Just because I say I'd fuck him, doesn't mean I'd actually do that." He laughs, making you glare at him.

Sure, not like you wouldn't do the same.

Oof thank you, Sol

How I wish Lesson 8-8 would have went:

It's always bothered me the lack of options we have when Lucifer threatens us so I decided to write something. I've been meaning to write this for a while and the inspiration finally struck. This is not beta read.

💫 MC is GN 💫

Warnings: mild language maybe, intimidation, slight pain

“So ya know as long as you don't have a partner I guess I could maybe go ahead and pair up with you for a little bit,” the white-haired demon suggested with a bit of blush on his cheeks.

MC resisted the urge to roll their eyes at Mammon and quickly downed the champagne they were drinking.

“Mammon, why not just admit that you want to dance with MC?” Satan teased with a knowing smirk.

MC sighed and set the champagne flute down on a tray as a server walked by, tuning out of the conversation as their eyes swept over the dance floor. By this time, Levi had joined in and they heard the words “tsundere” and “LMAO”. Leviathan was the only person MC had met in their life that said “LMAO” out loud. It was hard to believe that this was the same demon that almost killed them a couple of weeks ago. If it wasn't for Lucifer, they would have surely been dead and on their way to, hopefully, the Celestial Realm.

Lucifer. MC grimaced at the thought of the demon.

“MC, come dance with me. Now.”

MC felt their spine stiffen as he appeared in front of them. “Speak of the devil,” they grudgingly thought to themself.

“No,” MC replied simply. They did not want to play these games with Lucifer today. If he thought that MC would just roll over and -

“I do not believe I offered you a choice,” Lucifer said and firmly grasped MC’s wrist, pulling them onto the dance floor.

MC glared at Lucifer, their eyes boring holes into the back of his head as he led them through the throng of dancing couples.

“Do you know how to dance?” He asked, turning around to face MC.

“Do you know how to take ‘no’ for an answer?” MC shot back at him, feeling the anger they normally managed to quash starting to come bubbling up to the surface.

Lucifer let out a dark chuckle at that, one hand taking MC’s in his own while his other encircled their waist. He stretched his wings out to their full length as his eyes pierced through MC.

“Do not test my patience, MC,” he warned, warm breath fanning over their neck.

MC clenched their jaw in annoyance but nodded stiffly.

Lucifer pulled them in close as he took the lead. It had been a while since MC did any type of ballroom dancing but they were able to match his pace. They would not let this demon intimidate them.

“In general, there are all sorts of reasons why one might ask someone else to dance,” Lucifer began.

MC narrowed their eyes.

“I don't remember you asking me,” they hissed as he spun them briefly and pulled them back against him.

Lucifer only smirked and continued, “For example, they might be interested in them, they might want to touch them, or they might simply be doing it out of politeness.”

“None of which is why you asked me. Get to the point,” MC growled refusing to wince as he lightly dug his nails into their back - a warning.

“Or it could be because they want to have a private conversation,” he whispered into their ear as he turned with them before adding, “What is it you're plotting with Asmo?”

He suddenly dipped MC before pulling them up, grip tightening around their hand and their waist. MC flinched at this, their body tensing up as the demon leaned in closer to them.

“Let me make one thing clear: I respect my brothers’ freedom to do as they wish. However, if I ever sense that you’ve become a threat to either Diavolo or us...then I will show you absolutely no mercy. Understood?”

His grip tightened even further and MC tried desperately to wrench their hand from his own. It hurt. Lucifer was holding them so tight that they couldn't move their upper body. MC saw red.

Ever since they were forced into this exchange program against their own free will they had been bullied, intimidated, and belittled by these demons. Not that most of them hadn't come around and ended up becoming good company but MC had just had enough. They raised their foot and slammed it down on top of Lucifer’s. MC used his surprise to wrench themself free from his grasp.

Lucifer’s anger flared and MC could see the dangerous aura radiating around him. Just as he was about to grab them by the throat, Solomon cut in between them.

“Pardon me. Well, looks like a new song has started. I'd love the chance to dance with MC. Might I cut in?” The sorcerer asked, looking between the two of them and hoping it was enough to stop whatever storm had been brewing between the two.

MC let out the breath they were holding and shot Solomon a grateful look.

Lucifer took a moment to answer, quelling his anger towards the exchange student that he was just about to squeeze the life out of. He could not murder them. It would cause Diavolo’s exchange program to fail but he would not forget this moment.

“...Fine. I get the feeling that you've gotten the message and you understand what I'm telling you, MC. I'm glad we got to have this little talk,” he spoke with a quiet kind of fury that betrayed that last sentence.

“Likewise. Message received,” MC replied in a cold tone, looking into his eyes with a hardened gaze.

They felt a bit smug when he turned and walked away with just a slight limp for only a split second before wondering if they had just dug themself an early grave.

“...You look pale and Lucifer looked like he was about to murder you. What happened?” Solomon’s concerned inquiry brought them back to the present.

“Just Lucifer being, well, Lucifer,” MC replied, not wanting to divulge too much information, “Thank you for coming to my rescue there.”

“No need to thank me. Think nothing of it. This is the Devildom. When it comes down to it, you're human, and that makes you different. Never forget that,” Solomon replied, leading them into a new dance.

His grip was much gentler and less controlling. MC was grateful for that. They had enough manhandling for one night.

LADY LUCK HAS LOOKED DOWN UPON ME

I GOT THE NEW SATAN CARD FROM A FREE PULL!

---

I love this idea about humans differences but that doesn't mean I still have faith in humanity

The particularity of humans

Yo ! Soooo it is often said that compared to demons and angels, humans are weak but there are some aspects in which human can succeed that the other species can’t ! I have an whole ass essay to do, a whole ass book to read but here i am bc imma a dumb bitch

Updated : 12/04/2020

The instinct

Of course demon and angels have instinct, in fact I believe that every living creautre has one. However the human instinct is particular. Where demons are guided by sin and angels by virtue, the human instinct is sharper and general. Like, even without being intimidated by pheromones/ aura or whatever, humans are the best to tell someone appart. They just know when the demon standing in front of them isn’t reliable. Even though their facade is joyful and authentic. They know better when someone is lying ect. A another thing about instinct : the hunch. Compared to demons and angels, even though every human doesn’t necessarily have access to the magic they have a sense of premonition. 

Did you ever wake up with the feeling that something bad will happen during the day and it actually happens? Or put yourself in a situation that appeared normal but you knew that something bad will occur and it did?

That’s the human instinct. Something that the human naturally developed to compensate their “inferiority” to other species.

The pheromones

 Humans emit pheromones just like angels and demons do. However, the purpose isn’t the same at all. For instance, Asmo uses his to seduce people, Lucifer does it to intimidate, Simeon might use it to soothe people when they’re down ect. They all are conscious when they use their pheromones whereas humans aren’t. Humans often don’t know when they exude strong pheromones. I hc that they genuinely let them out when they’re with someone they like, happy, etc (and naturally, when having strong emotion). They also use them as greeting.

Just picture Levi and Mammon being jealous or a surprised Satan when Solomon comes to visit the house of lamentation and both of you instinctively mix your pheromones 👀👀 Hoes mad but they can say anything because none of you are aware of what you’re doing

Also, humans pheromones have a more social use than the other. Other races study the fact that humans can only function in pack. Meaning that they’re at their best when they are together. Therefore, if a human is very angry, their fellow human will share that anger. Thus, even though MC can be closer to the bros than with Solomon, if they or he is angry or sad, they’ll empathize better with each other than with other species.

Imagine : it’s canon that Solomon fears Lucifer, but what if MC was angry against the firstborn and that Sol tried to step up between the two ? It already happened in the game but the sorcerer eventually backed down. So what if this time he interferes and doesn’t leave when asked to ? Lucifer is about to beat him up until he sees Sol’s pheromones enveloping yours, meaning that he went too far. 👀👀👀

The bond

As I just stated, humans are pack creatures. They can function individually but are better in groups. This is a strength because demons are egotistical beings. You may have noticed that when facing a problem, the brothers rarely consult each other. Also, even in the game, Belphie called Diavolo out several times because the demon prince often acts on an impulse, without asking for other’s opinions. The fact that demons are so self-centered is a weakness because by living with their own they do not share things with the people around them. Thus, they do not have the opportunity to create that bond. In the game, the only bonds among demons visible are the ones Beel and Belphie share. We can’t even talk about Lucifer and Dia because well, lessons 30 to 38 👀👀. I believe that Luke and Simeon share a bond because Simeon, in addition to being Luke’s legal representative, is always looking after him and the same thing goes around (even though angels are not self-centered I still perceive them as secretive though). The other bond that we can see in the game are human+demon.

Now about humans. Humans, in general, are social creatures. Thus, creating a bond is something they instinctively do. The brothers are tied because well there are brothers. Whereas humans do not need a special attachment to the person as they unconsciously aim for the preservation of the race. Solomon, as secretive and shady as he might be, is always looking out for MC, even though he didn’t know them before the program. If I remember well, at the beginning of the game said that humans got to stick together. Because that’s their nature. Therefore, the bond is important bc :

The more brain we’ve got, the easier you can find a solution

The more you are, the powerful you can become

Also, the bond allows you to know better the other, you can almost feel them. Know when the other is not doing well and stuff

I also hc that human can pick up really fast on body language because they are used to look for each other (spoiler of the episode in the cave: this is why MC kept an eye on Solomon)

Human souls are more powerful than others

And that’s on what? That’s on PERIODT. Do the Celestial Realm and the Devildom even make sense without humans? There can’t be good or evil without anything to balance the two. Humans are valuable tools because they’ll either add number in paradise or hell. Thus, when harvesting, human are not only tastier but the more the human was evil or good, the more powerful the realm will become.

The feelings bro

Demons are guided by their sin. Angels by virtue and human by none of them. They can experience heavy negative feelings but the same goes around for the better ones. Why is this an advantage? I don’t know lol. However, I believe that if you’re a sorcerer your magic can be stronger bc of that. You’re not limited by the rules of the sky nor by the underground ones so that only leaves a greater room for your power.

The determination

Demons think that humans are weak and stupid because they are only driven by their emotion. Like, they could endanger themselves and risk their lives just for pride or love where other species have a precise goal. I believe that the human determination is something that demons can’t understand. Also, just like emotions, the determination humans testify makes them stronger. However, because of this determination, they can easily be corrupted as they might tend to blind themselves with it.

Human attraction

There is something about the human that makes other species crave for them. There’s the value of their souls, yes but they may also exude something else that makes others want to involve themselves with them. Out out of the people living in the Celestial Realm, why did Lilith fell for a human? The brothers too have lived for like millennials. And as soon as they were in contact with a human they found themselves tending to them. This may make it easier for a human to get what they want, by manipulating or just using this charm of their.

I actually had others ideas but I forgot about them so i’ll probably update this

Lullaby (Mammon fluff)

Gn! Reader

Fluff (not angst this time yeay)

Mammon has his head on MC's lap as the human runs their fingers through the soft, white locks. His jacket is neatly folded on the small table beside his bed with his shades sitting on top of it. Whenever he's had enough, he always seeks out to his one and only human but he always worry that he might be a nuisance to them. However, this doesn't discourage him from searching for his human housemate.

MC, on the other hand, never minded his company. In fact, they've always cherished all the time together. After all, having a tsundere as your partner is not very easy but it's times like these that Mammon gets to show his affection without having anyone mocking him.

Mammon: Hey, MC?

MC: Hm?

Mammon: Can you... Um...

MC: Just tell me, Mammon. You know I'm not gonna get angry

That isn't the reason why. Mammon bites his lip and turns his back towards MC to try and hide his face.

Mammon: W-Well, I know that

MC: Then, speak up. I won't know if you don't tell me

Mammon: ...can you sing a lullaby for me?

Ah, such an innocent request. MC chuckles lightly and shakes their head.

MC: Already wanna escape to dreamland?

Mammon: Th-That's not what I mean! I-I, well... Dammit!

MC: *laughs* I'm just joking. You must be sleepy after such a long day. I'll sing something for you

Mammon relaxes a bit and closes his eyes, preparing himself. MC starts humming, slowly transitioning to singing with 'ah' with a mix of humming. He swears, if he could feel the calmness the Celestial Realm constantly radiates back when he was an angel, this is it. The lullaby MC sings for him makes him sleepy and with the added soothing touch the human has, it's impossible not to sleep to that.

Sooner or later, Mammon lightly snores, indicating that he's sleeping. This puts a small and gentle smile on MC's face. They lean down to give the demon a forehead kiss.

MC: Good night, Mammon. I love you

WTF (Small... Crack)

GN! MC

*****

Diavolo, Barbatos, Lucifer and MC are in Diavolo's study room to play some card games. While they were playing, MC received a call. Upon picking it up...

MC: Yeah?

MC holds their D.D.D. between their head and shoulder, eyes not taking off from their hand to arrange the cards in strength.

Luke: MC, please help us...

MC: Hm? What happened?

Luke: Solomon... He, uh... He's in the kitchen. Half naked, covered in whatever sauce and is running around the burning stove yelling... Macarena?

Just as he said that, MC grabs their phone and stares at the screen, face unamused. Can they go one day without having to deal with Solomon's shit? Don't get them wrong. They love Solomon with all their heart but often times, they always clean up his mess. With a sigh, MC places their cards downwards and stands.

MC: I'll be there in five...

Luke: *sounds traumatized* Please hurry. Now's he's on the counter doing some-

Simeon: Simeon here. Get here as quick as you can. I've shielded Luke's eyes. He's on the counter... Twerking, as you people say

MC: *pinches the bridge of their nose* Oh, for the love of- I'll be there *hangs up*

Diavolo: What happened?

MC: I'll explain later. I need to save the kitchen for a bit

Barbatos: WHAT?! *gets up and grabs MC's arm before zooming out from the room*

Diavolo: ...

Lucifer: ...

Diavolo: So... Should we peek at their cards?

Lucifer: *sighs like the tired mom that he is*

Barbatos’ Confession (Barbatos x GN! Reader)

Notes: requests are open! other part;

this for the “other story”

Today was one of those days where you can hang out with the ever-so-busy butler. Well, they were suddenly so frequent, not that you cared, you liked his company. He invites you to tend the garden with him, and of course, you agreed to. You pack your gardening clothes, as well as a few snacks and necessities; and you’re ready to go! After you tell the brothers, you mean. They’ve been acting strange and somewhat two dimensional the past days, around when Barbatos started to hang-out with you, if your memory serves you correct. Maybe, tell him about it?

You arrive at the royal palace, as the other maids and butlers politely welcome you as they call on Barbatos, since you are now a regular inside Diavolo’s palace. “Hey Barb!” you happily greet him, while he bows and replies with, “Welcome to the palace again, MC. I hope I wasn’t bothering you.” 

He guides you to the gardens, where all beautiful flowers reside— more beautiful than the ones in House of Lamentation. Multiple devildom-native flowers can be seen inside; one of them being the infamous Mirage Flower that Diavolo himself stole. “Oh, I remember those!” you point at the rainbow petaled flowers. “They’ve repopulated now, didn’t they? I’m so glad!” you continued as you stare at them full of awe. He chuckles a bit, “I’m still sorry for letting Lord Diavolo steal them, though. I was so busy, I never noticed.” 

You shook your head no, “well, don’t worry about it! I got to hang out with the brothers, after all, so it got really fun.” Barbatos smiles, “Well, MC, what about me? Do you like hanging out with me?”

Mammon x Reader (Promise)

Warning: Angst, Hatred

Throwing his jacket in a random direction in his room, Mammon runs a hand through his hair before letting himself fall onto his bed. It's not the comfiest bed he's gotten, not that he often sleeps on it, but this time, it's as if the mattress is lulling him to sleep, the temptation to just close his eyes. But he doesn't. No, he can't.

Rolling onto his back, he puts his right arm in the air and looks at his hand, more specifically his pinky finger. The finger you placed your promise upon.

"I will never leave you, Mammon. I promise."

Those were your words and yet... Mammon lets out a sigh and puts down his arm, eyes staring at the empty ceiling. After you left, he was hurt. So, so hurt. His heart aches for you but he can never see you ever again. Tears well up in his eyes but he blinks them back, refusing to look weak even though there's no one else with him. He feels as if you'd judge him from afar.

The Great Mammon feeling hurt by a human. It's such a ridiculous thought to him and yet here he is, turning that statement into real life.

"You promise?" Mammon looks at the human, his human.

You nod, smiling.

"Lies." Mammon whispers, gritting his teeth.

"I promise."

"Lies!" He sits upwards and unconsciously turns into his demon form out of anger.

Realizing his own form and anger, he turns back to his normal self and hugs his knees. If he were to push away what little pride he has left, he'd pray to his own father and kill himself which would send him back to the Celestial Realm.

What did he do wrong? Where did it all began? How did he... Lose you? So many questions flood his mind, swirling around like a tornado but none can be answered other than you but you're gone. He could've ask you if given the chance but he refuses to and he regrets it bit by bit. Every. Single. Day.

"Damn it..." Mammon's voice crack, his shoulders slightly shaking. "Damn it! Fuck!"

He punches his pillow, the soft cushion harshly hitting the wall. "How fucking stupid..."

His heart aches so much. He wants to see you so much but he just can't. He refuses to.

Walking through the halls of RAD, Mammon hides a small gift box behind his back. He plans to surprise his human with an item he had bought with his own money that he worked on. He can't wait to see the happiness on your face. After all, he loves the bright smile on your face and every time you give him a smile, even if it's just a small one, he's just falling more and more for you. Truly, he is in love.

Just as he was about to enter your class, he hears your conversation.

"Yeah, Mammon's so annoying and so fucking stupid, I mean, did he really think that I actually like him? Bitch, please. He's just head over heels over me." Your laughter is heard.

Mammon takes a moment to process your words and when he finally does, overcome by wrath, he barges into your classroom. A look of shock and horror is displayed on your face but Mammon couldn't care less. He threw the gift at the floor near you and clenches his fists.

"If ya fucking hate me so much, then tell me straight to my face! Here I thought that yer' sincere and aren't like my brothers at all but I was so fucking wrong!"

"Mammon, I-"

"No, shut yer' fucking mouth, ya' lowly piece of shit! I don't want to see ya' anymore! If I see ya', don't think I'll beat the shit outta ya'!"

"Fine! Just get out of my sight, scumbag! Your brothers were right about you!"

From that moment on, he avoids the human. It hurts him. Even after betraying him like that, stomping onto his trust like that, degrading him like that, he still loves you but because of you, he can no longer trust another other than his own brothers, not again. He doesn't want to get hurt anymore but he just can't bring himself to hate you even after everything you've done.

Mammon sobs and lays down on his bed. He fights his tiredness as the night lasts for a couple more hours, gradually losing sleep. It's bizarre how love can be so simple and yet so painful if not reciprocated or worse, been told that you're not loved.

Rain (Barbatos x Reader)

Female! Reader

Slight angst but with a happy ending

In the human realm there you stood, under the heavy rain that wets your figure, soaking your entire being with its polluted water but you couldn't care less about how you'll get sick afterwards. No. You stare into nothingness, the heavy rain greatly limiting your field of vision to maybe one to two meters and even so, objects are extremely blurry.

The reason why you're under the rain is because you're heartbroken. It's stupid, yes, you know but he was your fiance of three years so it's heart shattering and as if your life line is plugged out when you caught him in action with another woman, balls deep into her as her moans fill the room, clearly having a good time. The reason for his cheating is because you didn't want to have sexual intercourse with him but being the religious person you are, you stated that you didn't want to have sex until after marriage but it seems that he couldn't wrap his mind around the idea.

'He only wants you for your body', your best friend said, attempting to comfort you but it didn't do much as your mind wanders to that specific moment in your life.

'He's the one missing out! It just means that he wasn't your soulmate. God has other plans for you', then why did He has to make it so painful to you?

'Fuck that guy! I hope he gets condemned to Hell', you wish too but you try to get yourself out of that mind set since it's quite the sin to wish someone that.

All these allegations are true, yet here you are, under the rain thinking negatively about yourself. Weren't you pretty enough? Wasn't your company enough for him? Satisfying enough for him? You let out a shaky breath and close your eyes, the rain getting heavier if that's possible. You really want to disappear off the surface of the Earth but you didn't. Again, it's a great sin if you did it.

So, you resorted to just being sad and crying out your sadness all alone. It was... Comforting, to say the very least and with the rain, it's easy to cover up your tears and voice.

"ARGH!" You screamed out loud. You could barely make out your own voice. Perfect.

So you screamed again and again and again until you ran out of energy. If you can't hurt or kill yourself, you might as well tire yourself and just go to sleep. But even so, you figured that you might have nightmares regarding what happened to you just yesterday so you might as well completely drain your energy until you can't move.

With one last scream of frustration and anger, you drop to your knees and let tears flow down your face. God, you just wanted to kill yourself but you can't. Sometimes you wish you weren't that religious but it's these times that you're also glad.

How long have you been under the rain? Half an hour? An hour? More than that? You don't know nor do you care at this point. You certainly couldn't care less about your health as well. You just want to hide under the rain so when you thought the rain stopped, you were confused. It's still raining yet why aren't you under it? Then, you look up.

An umbrella.

"Wha?" You breathe out under your breath as you look at the person holding the umbrella.

Due to the darkness, you can't really see his features but you can tell that he's wearing a suit and has gloves on. His expression though empty as ever, his eyebrows are furrowed as if to mimic confusion. He holds out a hand for you to grab and for a moment, flashbacks of your ex-boyfriend doing the same fills your vision and you shake your head.

The man assumes that you didn't want help and retracts his hand. You stand up but wobbled a bit due to you kneeling for so long, causing you to accidentally grab the man's arm. He was as still as a statue, seemingly unbothered by the fact that you just threw yourself towards him. You mutter an apology even though he won't hear it and didn't bother to squeeze water out your hair or clothes.

"Are you okay, miss?" He asks.

You nod and look away, slightly embarrassed of your appearance at the moment. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'll be going now."

"Wait."

You turn to him. "Do you need something, sir?"

Lightning strikes, lighting up the darkness and you only manage to see his features clearly for a few seconds. Beautiful emerald eyes, green hair gradienting to a teal down his bangs on the left side of his face and no expression at all yet it seems to compliment his handsome features. For a moment, you forgot to breathe. How can a man this beautiful exist?

"You just seem sad and I know that I'm just a stranger, a nobody to you but I do have some time to spare before I go back to serve my master." He states.

You were suspicious. The world is a dangerous place and if a handsome man like Ted Bundy can turn out to be a manipulative murderer, then surely, the man in front of you can do the same.

When no answer is heard from you, he sighs and puts a hand over his heart before bowing down to you, much to your surprise. "I am Barbatos, the butler to my master, Lord Diavolo."

"I... I see." You weren't expecting a butler to be by your side.

"You now know my name, my occupation and my master. Surely, this is enough information for you." The butler, you now know as Barbatos, said.

"Oh, uh, yeah." You awkwardly fidget around. He's just too formal with you that makes it uncomfortable for you.

"So, may I know what is the cause of your sadness? Why are you just kneeling under the heavy rain? Are you not scared of what might happen to you if you were to stay too long out here?" He shoots you question after question.

You wanted to tell him but you're scared of the thought of him ridiculing you. Your fiance's friends did, is he any different?

Barbatos sighs once again and mumbles something before saying, "I do not wish to make you uncomfortable. I do apologize if I do happen to make you feel that way. All I want to do is lend an ear. It is not too wrong of me to do so, is it now?"

You look at the more interesting ground. "Why do you even want to listen to my problems anyway? A butler like you shouldn't help me. You must have other jobs to do and even if I tell you, it's not like you're gonna use that information."

"Maybe, maybe not. But I just want to help."

Damn, he's persistent, you thought. It's not like you're ungrateful, it's more like preventing other people from meddling into your own problems that you can handle by yourself. You didn't need or want someone else's help. You can figure everything out yourself.

And yet...

"Kill me."

The butler was surprised. "Excuse me, but could you repeat what you just said?"

"Ah..." You shake your head. What were you thinking? "I'm sorry. I'll leave."

Just as you turn away, a hand grabs your arm. "Wait."

You wait for him to talk.

"I know I have no place to say this, and it's ironic that I'm the one who's saying this, but don't do it. Life may be hard for you but surely, there must be people who love you. I don't know what happened and really, I have no say in this, if you're thinking about suicide, shouldn't you do something you love? Be with the people you love instead of suffering all alone and eventually hurting other people?"

You look back at him with tears welling up in your eyes. "This is a stupid reason and all, but I just... Can't. The person I love betrayed me. He... He promised."

Barbatos lets go of your hand. "Then, that just means he's a liar, a toxic person in your life. Is it not a relief that you found out instead of being blinded by his lies?"

You wanted to talk back but you bite back your tongue. It is true. Better now then never. You think for a while before forcing a smile on your face. "I suppose so. Thanks for... Talking, I guess. I really appreciate it."

A small smile curl his lips, enhancing his already handsome face. "You're welcome."

*****

Barbatos finally went back to Lord Diavolo's castle after buying all the necessary items from the human realm.

"Barbatos! There you are! Where have you been? It took longer than usual. Did it run out of stock or something?" Lord Diavolo asks as he goes through his endless pile of paperwork.

The butler bows down to his master as a form of apology. "I am sorry, My Lord. No, it's not because of that."

"Then, what took you so long?"

Memories of the rainy scene plays in his head but he answered differently despite knowing that Lord Diavolo can tell between a truth and a lie. "There was a fuss over a mistake I did, My Lord. Wouldn't this new generation call that a 'Karen'?"

Though he knows, Lord Diavolo was more interested in the name the humans gave for someone with such an attitude. "A Karen, huh? Call Levi here! I need to know what that means!"

The day continues on like normal but Barbatos kept on wondering why the devils did he help such a helpless human who's willing to kill themself just because of a broken heart? He doesn't understand his own actions and frankly, he doesn't wish to know why either. He's a demon, a duke, an earl, he shouldn't care so why did he help that one human?

Ahh, of course.

"Welcome to Devildom!"

"Barbatos?"

He bows down to the new exchange student and smiles at you. "Welcome, MC."

"You were a fucking demon?!" You were surprised rather than scared.

"Were?" Lucifer asks but is ignored when both you and Barbatos wouldn't answer him.

How have the Fates destined the both of you to meet again.

Solomon and MC being crackheads

"Hey, where's MC?" Lucifer asks, papers in his hand.

"In their room." Satan's attention is diverted to the papers. "Hey, what are those?"

"These are the essays Lord Diavolo wish for MC to write. He wanted to read different opinions from each species but the topics he had chosen are so ridiculous that I could barely take him seriously." Lucifer sighs and shakes his head, making Satan chuckle.

"And what are the topics he had chosen?"

"...Teddy bears, rocks, swings and bags."

If Satan had a cup of tea, he would either choke on it or spit it out but either way, he ended up bursting out of laughter. "May I say, holy shit! Those are the most random topics I've heard in a while!"

The firstborn sighs and leaves his younger brother to his laughing fit. Approaching towards his human housemate's room, he swore he could hear another voice but he brushes it off, thinking that you were imitating someone else and by that someone else, he means some random people online yelling 'yeet' or 'oh, hi. Thanks for checking in I'm still a piece of garbage' or anything of the sort this fossil couldn't care to understand. Well, even if he did care, his old mind cannot handle the millennial jokes.

Raising his hand to knock on the door, he stops when he heard a familiar voice. 'It sounded like Solomon', he thought but shakes his head. Maybe he's imagining it which is something he highly thinks is possible seemingly that he's so sleep deprived that he can't think straight most of the times.

But when his knocks went unanswered, he grows impatient. "I'm coming in!"

Upon opening the great wooden barrier between your room and the horrible outside world, there stood both you and Solomon. One of Lucifer's stolen cloak draped around your shoulders, a mask covering the top part of your face and your hands covered with black gloves. Solomon, on the other hand, is wearing one of Asmodeus's dress and a wig.

"Sing, my angel! SING!" Your voice horribly deep and your singing is not making up for it as it sounds like a dying walrus.

Not that the sorcerer was any good. His high-pitched singing sounds like a screeching banshee and nails scraping a blackboard combined but somehow, the both of you weren't bothered by the fact. Well, no shit. Both of you are horrible singers that are perfectly in terrible sync. I'm sure you can make the Demon King pray to God for you two to stop and even then, God wouldn't even be much of a help since your singing might blow up his eardrums so the Demon King's prayers would go unanswered.

Which is true to my statement when Lucifer himself is covering his ears and maybe silently praying to his father that you two would stop to which you two didn't.

"What the blazes? What the hell are you two doing? And how did you get in here Solomon?" The prideful demon asks, not taking off his hands off his ears in fear that you might use your majestic (not) voice to make him deaf.

"I have my own ways." Solomon places a hand on his hip, the dress perfectly fitting his muscular but feminine figure. Someone, please draw this.

"What'chu here for, Lucifer?" You ask.

"Oh, yeah." Your singing might've caused him a small brain damage. "These are the essays you need to do. Lord Diavolo's-"

"Fuck that!" You curse, cutting off the demon's sentence. "F to the U to the C, K, that!"

Lucifer sighs. Help this old man. He's a single mother taking care of seven crackheads who's working under his future (please) husband and he's denser than THE Karasuma Tadaomi whenever Diavolo is flirting with him. "MC, this is Lord Diavolo's orders."

"And call me Obama's twin sibling cause' fuck that shit!" You immediately refused.

"MC."

"This calls for drastic measures."

You quickly open the window and drag Solomon with you then dramatically swing the cape around you and the sorcerer knew what you were about to do. With the deepest voice you could muster, you say, "I am Batman."

And jumped out of the window Papyrus style with Solomon tailing behind you. Lucifer, panicked, runs towards the window and looks out because there's no way a human could survive a two storey fall, right? Well, you proved him wrong when you and Solomon did a front flip and landed on the ground, laughing, "Hee hee!"

The two of you are now Naruto running towards wherever you two want to escape to. A Batman wannabe and a magical girl running off into the sunset, holding hands while laughing like Micheal Jackson. Truly, a romance better than Twilight.

I have no idea what I wrote. I might've been high while writing this but I hope you enjoyed!

Writing tips~

Passive vs Active Voice

This one got me for a while, so here we go.

What’s wrong with passive voice?

I’ll let you decide. Which is more engaging? 

1. He was running down the street, followed closely by a growling pack of dogs. 

2. He ran down the street, the growling pack of dogs following close behind.

If you chose the first… we’ll I’m sorry that you’ve been trained to want to read everything like a scientific report. Sure, it sounds fancier, but that doesn’t pull you in. 

How do I avoid it?

Look out for a few common words:

Was [followed by a verb]

by 

had been

Is there ever a time to use passive voice outside of my science paper?

Yes! The passive voice is a good differentiator when writing in past tense. It can help divide the characters present from their past. For example.

She walked along through the torn up streets, remembering how the city had once been alive with tourists and market stalls. 

Hope this has helped!

I just had to draw Mammon

I'm glad my teacher gave me that quiz

Solomon x GN! MC

Warning! Death, angst

*****

Solomon, a powerful wizard, is your lover. How you manage to acquire his love and attention is beyond everyone else and even you sometimes, but you're glad that you're his and he's yours. Unfortunately, your medical background doesn't paint a pretty picture for you.

It's been at least three months since you and Solomon has been together, madly in love. How you wish that you didn't have to break news to him but you must since he will find out sooner or later. You have informed the seven avatars and angels that your condition is deteriorating with Lord Diavolo and Barbatos already knowing beforehand. As much as you wanted to live, knowing what happened to their sister, Lilith, you didn't want to cause more harm than you've already done.

"Hey, MC." Mammon starts up a conversation while you're watching both him and Leviathan play a game.

You hum in response. With much hesitation, the greedy demon asks, "When are ya' going to tell him?"

Silence. Leviathan elbows Mammon in the guts as you thought of a response, finally answering his question with, "Tomorrow. It'll be cruel if I continue this charade with him."

A dry laugh emits from your starting to pale lips. "I'm so cruel to him, aren't I? He deserves someone better, not someone who's dying so easily from a disease."

The moment the words rolled off your tongue, Mammon and Leviathan abandon their game, not caring that their characters are getting killed on screen. The secondborn grabs your shoulders and gently shakes you, saying, "Are ya' crazy? It's us and him that don't deserve ya'!"

"For once, Mammon's right. Don't ever say that again, MC!" The envious demon said in turn.

But they only receive yet another short and dry laugh. "I only have one month left to live. No one can help me now nor will I ever live as long as Solomon hoped. I... I'm such a terrible partner and friend."

This time, it's the thirdborn who shakes you by the shoulders. "No, you're not! You're the one who managed to keep up together! Without you, who knows what would've happened to us! To Belphegor even!"

A sad, small smile manage to make its way to your lips. "I don't know what have I done to deserve you guys but I'm glad to have met you."

*****

The next day arrived quicker than you've had anticipated. Handkerchief in hand, you cover your mouth with the small cloth as you cough into it while mentally hoping that blood doesn’t stain your handkerchief. Lucifer and Satan, who are by your side, only looks at you with concerned looks, feeling useless and helpless since they can't do anything to help except be there for you.

"MC!" A familiar cheery voice is heard from behind. Oh, how have the Fates become to cruel.

You quickly hide the cloth in your pocket and turn to Solomon with the same lovely smile you always give him. "Yo', Solomon!"

Taking their cue to leave, Lucifer and Satan leaves you with your lover. Once you two stand face-to-face with each other, your lovely smile is slowly replaced with a sorrowful look on your face. The wizard quickly took note of this and questions about your sudden change in expression.

You tightly grab his hand as if your life depended on it, staring into his eyes. A barely audibly whisper 'follow me' left your lips as you drag him to somewhere private. After checking that nobody will eavesdrop on your conversation, you let our a sigh and your heartbeat begins to pick up its pace.

Your silence only makes Solomon worry more and a million negative thoughts occupy his mind. Do you want to break up with him? Did you not love him anymore? Did something bad happened? Unfortunately, what you said only made him stare at you with both shock and horror.

"Solomon, I have to tell you about my... My health. It's getting worse the last few months and both Lucifer and Lord Diavolo tried their best to find the best doctors from each realm to try and help me but... There's no cure. There's... Not much time left for me."

Solomon refuses to believe those words. He takes a step back and shakes his head. "Th-This is n-not funny, M-MC. P-Please t-tell me it's a joke."

But you shake your head. "I wish it was but it's not a joke. I'm dying, Solomon. I only have one month left to live."

"N-No. No, no, no. M-Maybe I can learn a-a healing spell o-or whip up a-"

You shut him up by grabbing his hands and placing your head against his chest, hearing his rapid heartbeat. "Please, Solomon. If Lord Diavolo or Simeon can't do it, what can you do? We're only humans, Solomon. We're the weakest of the three realms. What makes you think you can find a spell, much less a cure for me? My time is almost up, Solomon. At least let me spend my last moments with the people I love."

Still, he refuses to believe you but... "Fine. Fine. I-I'll respect that."

You feel wet droplets soaking your scalp but you couldn't care less. The both of you stayed like that until the bell rung. Unfortunately, your classes with Solomon are very little and limited so when you exit the room, he hugs you tightly before sadly parting from you.

Ever since that day, Solomon tries to spend as much time with you and even sleeps with you with Lucifer's permission. When your condition worsened however, Lord Diavolo has declared that you no longer have to attend school and is issued to be moved to his castle so that Barbatos can take care of you.

The week of the retreat that is held at Lord Diavolo's castle has came around. How unfortunate can you be? It's also your last week here. Upon finally meeting you, Solomon is quick to engulf you in a tight, warm hug.

Your last week is spent with everyone you loved, like what you've requested to the wizard but time doesn't wait for no one. Your body is extremely weak to the point where you sometimes would fall and pass out. Your coughing fits have become a frequent and daily thing, much to everyone's dismay. Your energy is slow to replenish, your health deteriorating quickly, your face looks like you haven't slept in days and your life force quickly fading away.

Today is the last day of retreat and also your last day on Earth. You wish you hadn't been chosen for this exchange program as you knew that you've hurt everyone but at the same time, you're glad as well or else you would never meet such amazing people, especially Solomon.

In your temporary room, Asmodeus does your makeup to make you seem more lively than ever before for everyone. Your tired eyes only stare out of the window, the dark sky decorated by sprinkles of lights and a crescent moon. Breathing has also becoming an exercise for you, only receiving oxygen through your mouth. As Asmodeus works on your blush, you suddenly have a coughing fit.

The fourthborn quickly grabs your handkerchief and hands it to you to which you quickly snatch it from his hand and cover your mouth with. After a few moments, you wipe your mouth and look at the pool of scarlet that the cloth had manage to absorb. Asmodeus only sighs at the sight, quickly applying the blush for you before you could have another fit.

"There we go." He stands up and smiles at you as if you were a piece of priceless artwork. "You look stunning."

"Thanks, Asmo." You stand up and approach the mirror provided in the room. In the mirror, you do appear to have more life.

"Let's go." The demon opens the door for you and helps you walk towards the ballroom.

When you arrive to your desired area, the wizard is quick to greet you which prompts Asmodeus to leave the both of you. "You look amazing as always, MC. I wish the makeup is real..."

You only offer him a small smile, your croaky voice uttering out, "I'll be fine. Let's enjoy this final night."

Solomon's eyes are filled with sadness and despair but for you, he's willing to be happy for you. Music fills the room and your lover extends a hand for you to grab and you did. His other hand gently wraps around your torso as you hold onto his shoulder, the both of you start to dance despite your weak body but he did slow down his movements so that you could keep up with him. Unlike last time around, only the demons, angels and humans alike are present in the room, the other two species watching as the both of you sway with the melody. In that very moment, so many thoughts had pop up in his head.

How he wished that he was more powerful. How he wished that there was a cure for your illness. How he wished that Simeon had the power to help you. How he wished that you can remain in his arms forever. How he wished that this moment will last forever.

How he also wished that he had never met you.

Yet here he is, dancing with his partner, desperately trying not to tear up for their sake. When the music stopped and the way you fall into his arms, he knew that you only had moments left to live so he hugs you once again, placing his lips on your forehead. His soft lips linger on your skin for a few moments before looking at you. "What else do you want to do?"

"Play... Play something on- on the harp for me, S-Solomon." You requested, your exhausted eyes starting to droop.

He nods his head. "Whatever you want, my love."

The wizard slowly guides you towards the instruments provided in the room, taking a seat on the small bench with you sitting beside him. Everyone else only watches both of your movements, not making a ruckus like how they'd usually do.

"Solomon..." You breathe out, placing your head on his shoulder as you make yourself comfortable next to him. "Play... Play that song."

Your voice becomes quieter the more you speak. Solomon closes his eyes and takes a breather. He wanted to cry, he wanted to hug you, he wanted to see your face one last time before you permanently close your eyes but he holds himself back. His shaky hands make their way towards the strings and his fingers start plucking the strings, a beautiful melody you had always loved plays.

Though, not even a minute through, you started coughing which made your lover stop and check up on you. Luckily, it wasn’t as severe so you said, "Continue no matter what. I want to hear you play one last time."

His lips quiver but he fulfills your request nonetheless. His fingers never stop plucking the strings even if you had to cough. Midway through, you close your eyes, your breathing starting to become slower. Everyone else in the room senses that your life force is fading rather quickly but doesn't utter a word about it.

Solomon notices the sudden weight on his shoulder but doesn't stop. Though, this time, he doesn't deny his tears and lets them flow down his face. When he finally finishes playing your favourite melody, he immediately wraps his arms around your limp body. He places his head on your shoulder and his tears soak your clothes.

Mammon, Leviathan, Asmodeus, Beelzebub and Luke are also crying, knowing that you're now gone. Lord Diavolo, Barbatos, Lucifer, Satan, Belphegor and Simeon only watches from afar, everyone's hearts crushed when you're finally out from your misery but hurts further when they hear the loud, sad and ugly cries from Solomon as he grips onto your body tighter, desperately trying to get you to wake up when you won't.

-END-

I hope you enjoyed this small story. My favourite headcannon of Solomon is that he plays the harp and I had to include that here. Anyway, here’s the song he played.

The brothers + undateables if they were to pick up an instrument

-The brothers-

Lucifer:

- surprise, surprise

- he's a piano guy

- but there's a reason to this

- back in the Celestial Realm, many angels, including his own siblings, admired and loved his piano playing

- even on the day where Diavolo came, he played the piano that enchanted him

- Lilith especially loved the piano

- after falling in Devildom, he avoided the piano at all costs

- he doesn't want to cry

- for once, he thanks his never-ending paperwork as he can use that as an excuse to avoid playing his favourite instrument

- but the few times he did play the piano, Mammon always seem to catch Lucifer crying while playing

- he has a love and hate relationship with the piano

Mammon:

- he isn't talented when it comes to playing instruments

- but when he stumbled upon the kalimba, he couldn't help but be addicted to playing it

- it's such a small and simple instrument, he just absolutely loves it

- loves the beautiful melody his kalimba makes

- hides this talent from his brothers for fear that they might ridicule him for playing such an instrument

- but one day while playing the kalimba to pass time, Asmodeus was in love with the melody and was confused as to what instrument would make such a sound and follows it

- finds Mammon playing the kalimba alone in the planetarium

- and calls the others to listen to Mammon playing the instrument

- while he was practicing playing an anime opening, Lucifer overheard his playing

- thought it was beautiful

- eventually, Lucifer had to barge in and interrupt his playing because Levi had done a little prank on him

- Levi was nervous about his punishment but instead of that, Lucifer requests that he plays something on the flute

- anxiety through the roof and probably up in the Celestial Realm

- his hands were shaky at first but after a few seconds, he got into playing that as if Lucifer suddenly disappeared from his room

- playing beautifully and happily as if there was no tomorrow

- after playing, Lucifer praises Levi's talent and his face is just red

Satan:

- surprise, surprise 2.0

- violin guy

- he wasn't interested in such an instrument at first but finds out that according to the humans, it was one of the most difficult instruments to play

- decides to take the challenge

- he regrets ever underestimating just how difficult playing the violin is

- at first, he ironically plays it just to show who's boss

- now he can't stop playing

- the first time he tried to play it, his arm is sore, neck is stuck in a certain position and cramps are terrible

- but after Beelzebub offers to give him a massage after each violin session, he was more fired up to prove the humans wrong

- low-key was praising each human and person who were able to stand through the torture of violin playing

- when he finally got the hang of it, the first piece he played is his favourite cursed song

- it was more beautiful and melodic on the violin than the original instrument

- is in love with the new melody and loves the song even more

- occasionally stays back at school to play the violin provided at RAD's music room

- girls (and maybe some guys) heard his playing and immediately fell in love with it

- for the rest of school days, Satan finds mysterious love letters left on his desk, in his locker, sometimes given by teachers themselves and has no idea why

- the rest of his brothers knew but doesn't say anything

Asmodeus:

- he wouldn't want to ruin anything on his body or leave any kind of bruise anywhere

- but he makes he makes an exception only for one instrument

- the guitar

- when he first started picking up the instrument, he immediately wanted to quit playing because his fingers hurt

- but after watching a couple of videos of people playing the guitar AND still having beautiful hands, he decides to play it once again

- it was torture for him and almost quit again but he finds out that some people wears bandages around their fingers to protect them

- and so he did

- eventually, he takes it off after mastering simple switching

- his fingers hurt once again but doesn't mind because he loves playing the guitar

- and because of his constant playing, his skin has grown thicker to withstand the strings of the guitar

- now it doesn't hurt whenever he plays

- the few rare times where he actually plays the guitar for someone, with his charm and melody, the person immediately falls in love with him

- his brothers were pleasantly surprised when they found out that he plays the guitar instead of any other instrument

- he takes pride in that

Beelzebub:

- surprise, surprise 3.0

- dude plays the drums

- he's into metal

- one day while watching some mukbang videos, he accidentally clicked on a Jacksepticeye drum cover video and was wondering how can he multitask like that

- so he told Lucifer that he wanted to practice playing drums

- Lucifer was surprised but doesn't protest his brother's request

- he found out just how difficult it is playing drums

- but once he got the hang of it, his level of playing can be compared to a veteran's

- a group of band saw him playing and offered if Beel wanted to join

- he immediately agreed to it and now thanks to him, the band is well-known in the Devildom

- sometimes would perform during assembly under Diavolo's request

- everyone listening was headbanging and yelling at the top of their lungs

- every time the band perform, it's always lively due to how catchy and metal the music was

- sometimes, Beel would give up his meals just to practice with his band mates

- loves it whenever he rocks the stage

Belphegor:

- sleepy boi

- doesn't want to move much

- so he plays the theremin

- according to a lot of people, it's one of the more difficult instruments to play as you need to have a good ear and there's a lot of tricks you have to learn with your hands

- but this boi is gifted with perfect pitch

- takes up the theremin

- for a beginner, he's not that bad

- after hours and hours of practice, he plays the theremin expertly

- it's a peculiar but interesting instrument so his brothers nag him to play it

- is annoyed by the constant nagging so he just plays a short song

- the melody is somewhat alien-like but it was also somewhat beautiful

- his brothers loves how he plays the theremin

- sometimes would play it for Beel if he has difficulties in sleeping

- only plays a certain song originating from when they were back in the Celestial Realm

- is the only lullaby Beel sleeps to

- Belphie is happy to play it for his twin

-Undateables-

Diavolo:

- for some reason, this man loves anything that's got to do with anything Irish or Scottish

- when he finds out that they were the two main countries that played bagpipes, he couldn't help but order Barbatos to get him one as well

- and also a kilt

- playing the bagpipe was difficult but he found an instructor to teach him how to play it

- hours and hours of practice, he finally manages to play it

- now whenever he has free time, he would play his favourite songs on the bagpipe with Barbatos surprisingly loving to listen to him play

- though, sometimes when Lucifer, or even more rarer times when his brothers join him, Diavolo would jump out while playing the bagpipe, playing an iconic Irish/Scottish song

- with a kilt

- as much as Lucifer wanted to scold him, he couldn't help but also enjoy the song

- and his random shenanigans

- though, if he were to play for his partner, he would play a romantic song on his bagpipe

- unless his partner asks otherwise then expect him to jump around playing a silly song...

- ...while wearing a kilt

Barbatos:

- this boi has little to no time at all

- is constantly stressed inside

- but when he realizes that the melodies of a cello calms him down greatly and can put his insomniac mind to sleep, he immediately gets himself one

- since he's a Jack of all trades, he's a natural at playing the cello

- because of this talent, Diavolo has instructed him one too many times to play the cello either for him or for guests

- but this is a task he doesn't mind doing

- though, sometimes when he's extremely tired, he dozes off while playing

- Diavolo doesn't mind if Barb plays only for him

- but if he dozed off around guests, Diavolo will nudge him and tell him that it's not appropriate for him to sleep in front of guests

- he immediately apologizes and continues playing the cello

- after a party, he will play a lullaby on his cello as to calm down the ruckus the guests might make

- Belphie will 11/10 summon Barb to play for him if it weren't for the fact that he had to ask permission from Diavolo first

Simeon:

- dude's an angel

- obviously will play the lyre

- his music is literally just angelic

- but he mainly plays the lyre to put Luke to sleep whenever he has a nightmare or just can't sleep in general

- but back when Lucifer and his brothers, exclude Satan, were in the Celestial Realm, he and Lucifer always play together

- they were the perfect duo

- with the angelic sounds of a lyre and harmonious tunes of a piano, it's impossible to not get drawn in and enchanted

- everyone in the Celestial Realm will literally kill if it meant that they get to see them play

- but after the brothers had fallen, Simeon no longer plays the lyre as he feels sad and distant whenever he plays it

- he misses their music

- that is, until Luke came unto his life

- Luke never got a chance to listen to both Simeon and Lucifer play so when he saw a dusty lyre in the depths of Simeon's stuff, he begs the other to play for him

- Simeon, not being able to say no, plays the lyre for Luke

- Luke falls asleep

- Simeon takes note of this and promises himself to play only for Luke

- now whenever he plays the lyre, he can push back the memories and focus on the younger angel

Solomon:

- most people were surprised when they found out that he plays the harp

- he states that he never intended to play the harp as he had never shown interest in it before

- but someone in his life changed that fact

- he doesn't let other people know but he plays the harp in hopes that he gets to have a duo with the person

- unfortunately, that person had sadly passed away due to complicated health issues

- he knew that person absolutely loves the harp so on their funeral, he brought the harp and played for them one last time

- now, he plays it for fun and to remember that person

- sometimes he plays the harp in the middle of the night, in a park where there's no one

- if you manage to catch him play it, you will see tears flowing down his face as he plays a beautiful melody

- he looks okay afterwards as to not worry or bother anyone else

- but on Asmo's birthday, he requests that Solomon plays the melody he always plays for that one person

- he hesitates but plays it nonetheless

- for once, in front of everyone, he cries

- everyone was surprised but doesn't make fun of him

- when Asmo questions about it, he dodges it like how he usually does and wipes his tears

- he apologizes and snaps his fingers, making the harp disappear before walking off to mourn more on his own

Luke:

- when he heard Simeon's playing for the first time, he wanted to play an instrument alongside him

- so he picked up the lute

- it was the perfect size for him so he easily practices with the instrument

- his fingers hurt but he still practices in hopes that he can be as skillful as Simeon and that he can make beautiful music like him

- boi is determined

- when he finally can play several intermediate level tunes, he figured that he wanted to tell Simeon about it

- Simeon was more than happy to play with him

- so when the both of them played their instruments together, if you're sleepy enough, it just makes you feel like you're in heaven

- Solomon almost had a heart attack once because of this

- but during the retreat at Diavolo's castle, they played their tunes together and the former angels just smile contentedly at their music

- it's been a while since they've listen to angels playing their songs

- Asmo almost cried

- who can blame him tho? Luke and Simeon together almost makes a perfect duo as Simeon and Lucifer

@my-life-in-10-years idk if this is what you expected and I did want to do this digitally but I suck at it. I know Luke ties his hair in a bun but I couldn't give up the chance of drawing his hair

It's 2:23 am here and suddenly, I had the idea of Violet in modern clothing. Then, I had more ideas and drew Benedict and Leon as well... Idk if it was worth it but honestly, Benedict can step on me and I'd thank him. Boi wearing heels and another one having long hair? Sign me tf up. They are best bois and Violet is best girl
