More often than not the butler came to bed late. Unless something happened to free him of his duties early, you rarely knew exactly when he tucked into your side. Barbatos’ sleep was often still, no darting hint of dreams behind those eyelids as he rested beside you. Perhaps it wasn’t even sleep; never had you woken from a nightmare or unfit slumber to find anything but his calm green eyes staring back at you. He seemed always ready to care and listen.
Yet he always rose so early, hours before the start of his duties. Often, you missed it. The night outside the window never changed but your schedule usually prompted you to spend as much time in bed as possible. He never tried to wake you, leaving soft parting kisses to your cheek that filtered through into the ends of your dreams.
Once, though, you caught him. Rising up from bed you followed his sleepy, languid walk to the bathroom. Your hands reached out to help unbutton his nightshirt until it was loose enough to pull over his head. You planted a kiss on his bare shoulder, coaxing out a soft hum. Turning on the shower you let the water warm and continued to dress your sleepy butler down to nothing but skin. Trying to prompt him into the warm shower gave him pause, and he caught your wrist to kiss it. A silent plea. You joined him. After all, you were up anyway, and it’s a rare moment where you can see a clear way to be of service. Free of the burdensome worry that you might be in the way, or might mess something up, you washed his hair, and let his hands rest on your hips as you washed your own.
Through each step of the morning you guided him without protest, until gloved hands buttoned up the last button, and he thanked you with a short kiss.
“Is this why you get up so early? Because it takes you so long to get ready?”
“Mm, yes. An old habit from when I was younger. I always knew there would be a day when someone could help.” Another kiss, this one lingering and sweet. “Thank you for a dream come true.”

So, we all know how much the brothers fight over MC, right? And how all the brothers have their own animals that symbolise their particular sin
Well imagine them trying to get any merch they can of that particular animal as a way or competition💀
Belphie getting you some type of cow merch, like the cow-printed pillow he already has, but also anything cow printed in general. Getting cute cow plushies from dairy factories and what not, but also him trying to get you obsessed with cows by showing them videos of the cows you can sleep and cuddle with
Beel getting you obsessed with bugs somehow. If you hate bugs then he gets it, but look at how innocent they are, right? Look at the little guys!! He takes you to the parts of certain galleries that have bugs and stuff of the sort to show you all about them, specifically flies and beetles. He might use some of his magic to get the flies and beetles to behave in a way that tickles your fancy
Asmo trying to bring you over to a zoo and find a scorpion of the sort to show you. Meanwhile, he is absolutely flooding you with facts about them; all the good ones of course. He gets you little figurines of scorpions and tells you all about the different breeds and just how impressive they are. Look! Aren’t they amazing just like him?
Satan taking absolutely zero interest in all of his brothers’ shenanigans. You think he cares about unicorns? Nah, bro is ALL for cats. He’s already been smothering you with cat merch ever since you formed a pact, and he has no intent of stopping. Buuuut, he might feel more obliged to buy something for you if it’s a cat with unicorn features. . .he can’t resist
Levi who’s trying to get you obsessed in his pet snake. Yeah, he loves sea life, and he’ll try to get you interested with that as well, but snakes are his thing, right? Snakes are just superior. His snake is super friendly, don’t worry! He’s desperate to show you that snakes aren’t vicious creatures who kill blindly, but please don’t go shoving you face into a cobra’s mouth anytime soon…
Mammon who has like a million pet crows that he loves to bits. Like, they literally gather treasure to bring to him, tell him anything he needs to know, and gets jobs done hella quickly with them around. What’s there not to love? He gets his crows specifically to follow you around, act nice and friendly, and give you pretty jewels that they happen to find. Might also get you one of those crow skeletons if you’re into that, but it scares him ngl
You’d think out of everyone to act this way towards their animal, Mammon would be the worse. And, in a sense, he is the most unbearable. But, downright, Lucifer is somehow the most likely to do all of this. In fact, he probably started it in the first place
This mf gives you whole peacock feathers as casual gifts, gives you any type of anything that has peacocks somewhere on it, etc etc etc. Atp you have MULTIPLE peacock plushies and enough peacock feathers to decorate your entire wall with
Whenever his brothers started getting all competitive over this, he decided to take you to a full on peacock farm in the human world. A literal peacock farm. Did you even know they have these??
You can feel the sheer levels of pride swelling off this man anytime you enjoy one of his peacock-themed gifts. You really have no idea what you’re doing to his ego, but keep doing it if you like seeing him in outright euphoria
There’s no way your room isn’t absolutely jam-packed with way too much animal-themed stuff by the time they’re all done💀 rip your room if you’re a minimalist
And they can probably all turn into their particular animals, right? Oh, the chaos. . .
