Could I request MC hanging out with the brothers but having a hard time enjoying it cuz they’re stressed from school? How long would it take for each of them to notice MC just isn’t having fun and what would they do?
Of course, Nonnie! I actually really like this prompt~
~
Lucifer:
The oldest noticed within the first day of them being stressed
However, he left them to handle it on their own, thinking it was just a rough day and that they should be better by tomorrow.
When tomorrow came and they weren't better, the man grew concerned.
He invited them out to dinner Friday to take their mind off of whatever has been plaguing them.
When the human didn't seem to be able to relax during dinner, he simply sighed.
"Please, tell me what has had you so tense these last few days."
They told him that their Devildom History class was getting too overwhelming; there was too much that happened in the last few millennia and too many dates to remember. They felt they couldn't keep up like the rest of the class could.
"MC, the rest of the class has been studying this material for a few hundred years at least." The man reminded them. "Neither Diavolo nor myself expects you to work at the same level as the other students."
He admired that MC took their studies seriously, but found it silly that they would compare themselves to students who were so much older than themselves, even if they didn't appear so.
After dinner, he took them for a relaxing evening stroll, which helped the human clear their head a bit.
Mammon:
He knew within the first couple of days they were stressed out.
The second brother took them out to a party and usually they loved parties, but that night they just... felt weirdly distant. They would say that they're having fun, but it all just seemed... force.
The man didn't like it. He pulled them to the side.
"Oi! Enough with the fake smiles, Human!" He told them. "What's with the silence?"
MC stared at the ground.
"I...I failed the exam last week." She mumbled. "The teacher handed the tests back Monday and it was the worst I've done yet."
Really doesn't understand it.
Yeah, he gets anxiety when he fails stuff too, but that's only 'cause of Lucifer. He doesn't actually care about his grades beyond that.
Takes them home since they aren't really feeling it. The two hangout in his room, blasting music as they curl up on the couch together.
MC is still upset, but appreciated the closeness.
Leviathan:
Doesn't really notice at first, too absorbed in the video game.
When he finally passing the level he's been struggling with for the past hour, he turns to MC, seeking praise, but the human isn't looking at the screen or him, but rather into space.
Immediately feels dejected. Is he boring them? Probably. Who could have fun with an otaku like him? That's the thoughts running through his head that start spilling from his mouth.
MC has to reassure him for a while that what he's worried about simply isn't true before explaining things.
The amount of classes you were expected to take here at RAD was... overwhelming. Eight different classes that demanded so many hours of studying outside of it.
MC didn't even feel like it was okay to be spending time with Levi right now because her anxiety kept screaming at her that she was falling behind.
Boy is instantly awkward upon hearing about their stress.
How...how was he supposed to help? The otaku did not have the social skills for it.
MC sighed.
"I should...probably just head back to my room--"
Panicking, Levi grabbed their arm.
"Levi?"
The man looked away before tugging them close, letting the human lay their head on his shoulder.
"J-Just... relax." He mumbled, face red.
MC gave the demon an odd look before giving a small smile and snuggling into his side.
It didn't solve their issue, but the human appreciated his worry.
Satan:
Noticed the stress as it developed.
MC was struggling to keep up in their Seductive Speechcraft class and it was taking its toll on them.
Didn't want to say anything until they come to him however; this is their business after all and he didn't want to bug them about it if they just wanted to handle it by themselves.
Still quietly worried though.
Invites them to his room one evening to read together, hoping some quiet time will help them relax.
He saw that their gaze usually found it's way more towards the window than down at their book however.
The man sighed, lowering his book.
"Alright, please tell me about it."
"Huh?" They turned to him, confused.
"You have concerns about the Seductive Speechcraft material, correct?"
"I... yes." They mumbled, looking away from the blonde.
"Well, what about it is stressing you out?"
MC blushed.
"I... I understand most of it from a theoretical standpoint, but... the actual use of it all is difficult for me. I always score low on the practical exams."
The demon smirked.
"Well, I suppose some practice would be the answer."
The two have a rather enjoyable study session. It was actually useful to the human though and they felt more confident with the material.
Asmodeus:
Notices it while the two are out shopping.
Asmo just came out of the dressing room and expected compliments about the outfit. When they never came, the man pouted.
Despite loudly announcing his entrance, the human was still staring into space.
"MCCCC, Look at me!"
MC glanced at him.
"Looks great..."
The fifth brother huffed.
"Doll... what is it?"
MC sighed and just kept it vague, saying school was just a bit much for them right now.
Asmo frowned. He went and paid for the outfit before leaving with the human.
He dragged them straight to his room, earning a confused look from the human.
Spa Day, begin! Massages, nail polish, face masks, the whole nine yards!
The two talked and Asmo listened his Doll vent about some other students in her class talking shit about them, even though MC was pretty sure they had never talked to those demons before since coming to the Devildom.
Hypes up his human tells them how wonderful they are and that those demons obviously have no life.
Tells them that those jerks aren't really worth their time-- but if MC is interested in revenge, he's got some dirt ready for them.
Beelzebub:
Probably the brother who is the most sensitive to their mood shift.
It comes with the territory; Beel is more or less the rock of his family, helping them out whenever he can
And, especially when it comes to Belphie, Beel has learned to be observant with these sort of things.
So when MC first showed signs of stress, the poor boy was worried.
He's still a pretty quiet guy though so he wasn't really sure how to approach the topic with them.
Asks them to walk with him to Madam Screams
It was a quiet walk. Once there, he managed to get them to order something though, which made Beel feel a little better.
On the walk back, that's when he decided to speak up.
"So," He finished the last bite of his donut. "Are you feeling okay?"
The human shrugged.
"I dunno." They stared at the brownie in their hand. "Just kinda... I dunno."
Beel, not interrupting them, gives MC a minute to collect their thoughts and continue.
"Hey... is it possible to drop classes at RAD with me being an exchange student?"
The redhead raised an eyebrow at the human.
"Nevermind, it nothing..."
"Are you having trouble with a class?"
MC stared down at her feet as she walked.
"Maybe..." They mumbled. "My Hexes class is just... it goes a bit too fast for me. I don't think I'm really learning anything."
The demon listened as the human talked about how behind they were in the class and how overwhelming it was. At one point, they even started tearing up.
Beel stopped in his tracks, pulling them into a hug.
MC looked up at him surprise.
"It'll be fine." He promised. "Let's go talk to Lucifer about this, okay."
The human nodded, causing a tear to fall on her cheek.
Before they could wipe it though, Beel did for them.
"Let's go home." He gave them a small smile.
MC smiled back.
Beel felt that he couldn't do much to help, but was glad he could direct them to Lucifer, who could.
Belphegor:
This boy notices more than people think.
The human just seemed out of it during the day
And even sought him out for naps when it was usually the other way around
MC just seemed so disconnected from him and his brothers those last few days, not to mention a bit tense.
That's what led them to the planetarium.
The two laid on the floor, looking up at the ceiling.
Though the human still seemed distracted, they at least seemed calmer.
That wasn't enough for the demon though.
He gave a big sigh.
"So what's the problem?"
"Huh?" MC looked over at him, confused.
"You heard me; what's your problem."
The human bit their lip.
Belphie rolled his eyes and pulled the human to his chest.
"You can talk to me, Dummy."
"I just... I've been having some trouble at school is all."
Belphie narrowed his eyes.
"What trouble?"
MC sighed.
"There's this guy in my Hexes class who... he's not all that nice." They explained. "He put a fake flame on my uniform Monday and made me embarrass myself in front of the class while trying to put it out... and all my teacher did was shame me for not recognizing illusion spell he used."
Belphie's arms tightened around them.
"Give me a name."
"Belphie, no."
"Why not?"
"Because I know what you are going to do and I don't want you getting in trouble for me."
The boy huffed, annoyed.
"Then tell Lucifer or something; don't let them get away with that!"
"But... if I tell Lucifer, the teacher will probably get in trouble too and the last thing I need is to get on their bad side, especially in a class I already struggle with."
"Then maybe he could get them replaced or something, I dunno, but you shouldn't just lie down and take it."
MC didn't say anything, just hid their face in his chest.
The demon closed his eyes, letting himself calm down before laying his hand on their head.
"I care about you, Butthead." He told them. "Now you gotta start caring about yourself too."
The two ended up falling asleep together on the floor. Nothing really change, but cuddling up with Belphie and explaining the situation really did make them feel a bit better.
