"GOT YOU"

This derailed rather quickly, the running theme ig, is "got you" so there’s some angst, some crack and some fluff. (Divider made by @planetaryrph ) I intended to use it throughout the whole post? But tumblr is being an asshole so Im taking what I can get. Sorry if the formatting is weird.

Lucifer - the eldest rubbed his temples as he signed his last papers for the night, sighing. Finally, he could take a moment for himself, before going to bed. It had been a long and frustrating day, with too many interruptions, too little coffee and not enough of you either. While he was locked up in his office, his brothers were- bzzt- His thoughts were pulled away as he checked his phone, immediately wishing he hadnt. Of course...always more to do...

He would blame it on the sleep deprivation, but tears started to well up in the corners of his eyes as repressed emotions of being overwhelmed and overworked started to take over, his mind spiralling towards self deprication as his forehead hit his desk. Never enough, its never enough and nobody apprecia-

"Lucifer?...." your voice cut through his thoughts easily as he dazily looked up at you. Sleepy tear filled eyes met yours as he melted into the warmth of your hand on his cheek, a kiss pressed into your palm as you pressed one against his head. You pulled him close so he could listen to your heartbeat. "Come on sweetheart. I've got you. Lets go to bed....we can figure things out in the morning...and I'm here to listen if you need it...or just to hold you." You pet his hair softly as he worked himself up to standing enough to hug you, rocking slightly before he was ready to go.

Mammon - "Mammon? Are you ok?" The two of you had just been cuddling for the past few hours, and you were curled up on top of him. Which meant you felt his chest heave before you heard the soft whimper that left him as he held you close. "I-I dont know whats goin' on I j-just....promise ya wont ever leave me...I c-couldnt...I-" he couldn't seem to get the words out, but it was clear some less than favourable thoughts as he held you. You sat up a bit and turned, bumping your forehead against him. "Mammon, listen to me. I will never leave my first man...you've got me...and I've got you...the most important treasure in the world." You smiled softly and pressed a kiss on his nose, causing him to crack a smile and laugh a tiny bit before he reciprocated.

Levi - "Well well well...what do we have here?" Levi froze in his seat, the show continuing to play in front of him as he turned and gave you a small smile. You looked rather unimpressed-

"IM SORRY I COULDNT WAIT YOU WERE STUDYING WITH SATAN I JUST NEEDED TEN MINUTES AND YOU WOULDN'T HAVE SEEN MEEEE" he whined, crawling over his couch and coming to grovel at your feet on his knees, hands clasped together and above his head. "IM SORRYYYYYYYY but the anime 'I really like my best friend but my self esteem is too low to see it until I see parallels in our favourite media make me think I have a chance" is so good!!!! I just HAD to watch one more episode!!!" He pouted and looked up at you, which broke your annoyance, poorly concealed with an exasperated, but light hearted sigh. You smiled down at him. "Fine but if I get you again you owe me a complete rerun of my favourite anime." He stood up and smiled brightly, blushing a little. "I might have to get caught again if it means more time with you." Before immediately hiding in his hands and laughing nervously at himself.

Satan - "IM GOING TO SHRED YOU TO FUCKING PIECES YOU FUCKING C-"

"SATAN STOP THATS ENOUGH" you stood between him and the demon that pissed him off, glaring at him. His entire body had waves of wrath rolling off of him, eyes aflame with nothing but contempt and rage.

"GET OUT OF THE WAY!"

"Satan. Look at me. I'm not hurt. His words leave no mark. He doesnt matter, but your actions DO. Give me your hand."

He hesitated, shifting from foot to foot in his giant form as he settled down, extending his hand to you. You rubbed small circles in his palm. "Try to match my breathing." He did as you said slowly returning to his normal form, staggering forward as the display of power had tired him out. "I got you, I got you.. and I wont let you fall..." you pet his hair softly and buried your face in his hair and neck. "Lets get you some food, hm?" You just got a grumble in response.

Asmo - "ugh my love you would not BELIEVE the day I had-" you were trying to focus on some work you had been given, and knowing the tone of his voice, it wasnt an emergency. It was Asmo being Asmo. "Welcome home hun. I just need to get this done and then I can give you my full attention-" you pecked his cheek without looking at him, and then turned to face him to see his pout, giving that a kiss as well. "Baby I promise, fifteen minutes and then I'll be completely and utterly yours." He sighed dramatically and rolled his eyes before grabbing your face once more for one more kiss "Youre already mine.....but...Fiiiiiiiine, fifteen minutes on the dot and I'll be on the bed waiting~"

After fifteen minutes of dramatic sighing and "are you almost done?"s you decided that regardless of whether you were finished or not, it was time to be with Asmo. He was in his comfy clothes and had a facemask on, but his eyes and smile lit up as you came and sat on the bed, his movements practices as he laid his head in your lap and waited for you to pet his hair, purring. "Alright, you've got me...now tell me about this crazy day of yours my love..."

After nearly an hour, Asmo was a purring mess under your touch as he came to the end of his ramblings. "And you wouldnt believe it- when I came home, my beloved made me wait!! Can you believe it?!" He grinned cheekily as you leaned down and bumped your nose against his in a bunny kiss. "Noooo, really? Well did they make it up to you?" You leaned in to close the gap between you, kissing his lips softly as he smiled.

"Yeah. They did."

Beel - "Beel....Beel wake up" bleary violet eyes adjusted to seeing you above him in the dark. You gently slid your thumb across his dampened cheek. "You were having a nightmare agai-" you were cut off as the gentle giant pulled you in and used you as a teddy bear. He buried his face into you, curling up as small as he could. ".....can you hold me like this for a bit..." though you wouldnt really say you were holding him in this position, but you nodded anyways, wriggling up so that his head was on your chest. "I got ya big guy....everythings ok..."

Belphie - "BELPHIE GET YOUR ASS UP ITS TIME FOR SCHOOL" "Jesus do you have volume control? Calm down its only...only.." he fumbled for his phone to check the time, eyes widening just slightly before he shrugged. "If Im already that late I have no reason to go at a- hey" he protested slightly as you dragged him out if bed, in response to which he deathrolled all his blankets so you were dragging a burrito around. You "helped" him get ready for school as he was in and out of sleep..."helped" like a three year old might, complete with an outfit worse than Satans, a drawn on mustache and about fifty tiny topknots in his hair. He finally woke up enough to eat some brunch before stumbling outside. He didnt register that anyone but you and Beel were there. You and his siblings waited a solid two minutes before he walked back in, dazed and confused and a little damp from the rain. "....its Saturday isnt it"

It took everything you had not to laugh yet. "Yep." He glared at you slightly. "....I'm gonna get you even worse next time" he grumbled as he walked to the bathroom.

"What do you mean????"

"THERE ARE PUDDLES OUTSIDE MC, I SAW WHAT YOU DID"

Diavolo - "...Dia..." he turned and faced you, looking guilty. "Dia....sweetheart....how are you not terrified of Barbatos finding out-" His face lit up a little bit but did look a little scared at the mention of Barb, and as you started laughing. He raised a finger to his lips and pulled you into his lap, pouting as he fixed his chin onto your shoulder. "....you can have some pizza too if you promise not to tell him..." you giggled a bit and kissed his cheek. "I wont tell him...but if I managed to catch ya, dont you think he will?" He whined softly, burying his face in your neck. "If Barb catches me I'll get an earful of why I shouldnt order food and how if I appreciate him as a butler I should just ask to eat his food but its always super healthy....unless its dessert..." he muttered and nibbled on your ear a bit, making you squirm and giggle a little. "Thats ok...next time I'll sneak it in...he wont get...that mad at me-" you laughed a bit as he beamed, kissing your cheek and offering you a bite of his pizza before taking one for himself.

Barbatos - He woke up with a small gasp and tried to sit up, but a gentle hand on his shoulder pushed him down. "Rest" his hand came up to meet yours on his shoulder as memory of what happened rushed back to him. Weakly, he tried to sit up again as he swallowed down his embarrassment. "I have to go back mc..." though his resolve faltered as your cool hand stroked his hair away from his damp forehead. "You fainted in the kitchen- do you have any idea how high the fever you're running is?" "But the gala-" "Nobody knows. You had everything set up in the kitchen so Simeon took over and Satan, Asmo, Lucifer and Diavolo are more than capable at holding the guests' attention. The healers came in...said you'll be ok as long as you rest.....please...let me take care of you..." you pleaded with him. You wouldn't say anything about it, but as he mushed a bit into your hand, closed his eyes and graced you with a very rare, soft purr, it was possibly the best moment youve ever had. "....fine...but just this once." You smiled. "Of course."

Mephistopheles - "....MC, this Nightmare and I have a very good bond, I know you're trying to sneak up on me." He turned, a very smug smile on his face as he caught you in your tracks, a few stables down so as to not spook the majestic horse Meph was leading. You pouted a bit as you walked carefully up to the opposite side of the mare, gently petting her mane. "Youre no fun Mephi" "At least I'm not trying to scare a man with a cane." As he spoke you took the reigns and stopped the horse early so he could go open the stable. "Oh did you close this too? How convieni-" he was about to be a sarcastic bitch...until he jumped back as a rubber spider popped into his face.

"....you move pretty fast fo-"

"Shhh uppabababa I don't want to talk to you right now-" he took a deep breath with a hand to his chest trying to calm down before glaring at you, dusting himself off and moving one stable down to lead his horse into. He had hoped you would have left him in peace after your "victory", but instead he was greeted by your shit eating smile as he locked the door. ".....fine....You got me...but nobody witnessed it...so nobody...will believe you." He smiled and booped your nose as he walked out, swinging his cane. Your face fell in realization. "....THE HORSES WILL KNOW...MEPH..MEPHIIIIIII"

Simeon- "SIMEON!" You cried out in alarm at the ang-....the fallen angel splayed out in front of you. You ran to him, holding his face softly as you searched for any signs of life. Scorch marks were visible all over his body, his face sooty and slightly bruised. He groaned softly and you sobbed in momentary relief- he was alive. You pressed your head against his softly, another sharp sob leaving you as his hand came up and stroked your cheek. "...hey-" was immediately followed by painful sounding coughing. "Simeon, shhh, shh please, save your strength...you're gonna be ok...help will be here soon..."

Bright blue eyes met your own, filled with nothing but absolute adoration. "Theres...theres something Ive been scared of doing for a long time....can you come closer so I can tell you?" His voice was strained, barely louder than a whisper. You nodded tearfully and leaned in, only to be pleasantly surprised as he pulled you into a long, deep kiss. Both of you panted slightly as you pulled away. "Now I plan to understand...everything I was missing before." He smiled, and leaned in for one more kiss.

Raphael - no. I refuse. Wet cat, paper bag pathetic ragdoll man gives off annoying second grader energy. Smh how am I supposed to write for that. At least Luke is old enough to be in fifth grade. Yeah I know I have a whole series dedicated to the characters as children. That doesnt matter. Now Im just writing to fill the space. Make it look like I have ideas. I really dont. (I mean this all affectionately)

P.S if someone reblogs this with their own take of "got you" I'm kissing you on the head.

Luke - “I’m not a baby, I can make it across the monkey bars myself!!” He swung gleefully, trying to dissuade you from following behind him. It wasn’t your fault he brought out a protective side of you!! Despite that, you relented, staying at the opposite end of the bars. He landed at the end, turning and smiling triumphantly. “See?! I did it!! I told you I could do i-woAH!!” in his excitement, he accidentally slipped off the landing, falling to his butt on the gravel.

"You ok bud?" You supressed your amusement as he stood up to inspect the damage. He sighed and immediately tried to beat the dust off his shorts, giving up when there seemed to be no difference. "Nooo I don't wanna have a dusty butt!!" He whined.

"Well, I can't fix that for you this very moment, but it's not that bad Luke! If yoj really want to, we can go back so you can change, but Im sure a few minutes of running around will make it difficult to see...ooooor we can go get some ice cream and we can sit down for a bit-" you gave him a small but knowing smile. He lit up, fists shaking as he bounced in place.

"Ice cream!!! Can I get sprinkles on mine?!!"

You smiled down at him. "You can get anything you want!"

Thirteen - "What happened?" You spoke softly as you wrapped the bandage around Thirteens arm. She sighed, looking off in the opposite direction at the ruins at her trap. "I don't know...I ain't never built a faulty trap...never..." You glanced up at her, a little worried as you had never seen her this distraught or distant before.

Her head soon turned as she felt you turn place a few gentle kisses over the bandage, wide green eyes wonderfully complimented with the growing blush on her face.

"H-hey, what're y'doin?"You smiled softly and pulled away. "Kissing you better...." your smile widened as the woman in the chair attempted to hide her face behind her good hand. "....are you o-"

"STOP MAKIN ME SO GODDAMN SOFT FOR YOU! JESUS CHRIST-"

Solomon - "SOLOMON WAIT!" You burst into Barbatos' room, just to see Solomon standing in front of a portal with a small briefcase in his hand. You were panting with the effort it took you to get there and with the sobs that threatened to tear themselves from you. Your sniffling ultimately gave away you were close to crying, but he didnt turn to face you, refusing to show you the unshed tears in his eyes. Staring into the portal- this one would take him somewhere he could try to be happy without you...it seemed impossible but he was willing to try. Clearly, you didnt need him anymore. He kept his voice as calm and quiet as possible. "...can I help you MC?"

"Help me?! Tell me whats going on! Where are you going? Barb said something about me possibly not being alive for the time you come back, and you were gonna leave without saying good bye?!" The words spilled like a waterfall, but all you wanted were some answers.

Solomon cleared his throat slightly, but his voice wavered as he spoke over his shoulder. "You've finally pacted all of the most powerful demons in Devildom...you've become friends with high ranking angels...you've befriended one of the thirteen reapers...what use does anyone have for me? What use am I to you? I know that to most I'm an annoyance. It's about time I realized you see me the same way....so good b-"

"Dont you fucking finish that sentence." You pointed at him accusingly. Tears started to stream down your face. "Don't you say good bye to me. Don't leave me, please don't leave me. You're- you're not an annoyance, you're my mentor, my..my partner in crime, my everything, you cant- why are you go- where i- what use? Are you out of your mind? You're my friend, not a tool! I love you, why would I use you, what benefit would that have for me?" You didnt realize your own confession, barely suppressed sobs threatening to spill as you fell to your knees, sobbing. A final plea left you as you buried your fave in your hands.

"Please don't go-"

You shuddered and balled up more as the faint purple light from the portal disappeared, another sob leaving you as you were terrified to look up and see if he was gone.

In a moment you felt the familiar warmth of Solomons cloak around you, sobs of relief coursing through you as he knelt down and pulled you close to his chest. Tears of his own rolled down his cheeks as he looked up at the ceiling, and you clung to his coat.

"P-promise you won't leave ever leave me-"

He looked down towards you, loosenjng his grip on you slightly before tilting your chin up to meet his own tear filled eyes.

"I promise. And...I'm sorry I never told you I loved you before...." he smiled softly through his tears, placing a gentle kiss on your forehead. "I promise to make up for lost time too."
