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
- the rest were enchanted by Mammon's playing
- doesn't talk about it
- until it was Beelzebub's and Belphegor's birthday
- the twins requested that Mammon plays the kalimba
- is taken aback but doesn't protest
- Mammon plays his favourite melody on the kalimba
- everyone likes that
Leviathan:
- plays the flute
- but only does it because he saw Ruri-chan playing it
- is surprisingly naturally talented on the flute
- when his package arrived, his brothers thought it was just more merch and figurines
- nope, it was his flute
- 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
