solace
an: idk. it's a very generic demon story, so you can imagine any of the brothers, and then it turns into messy little hcs w each brother. a bit of angst into a happy? ending
idkidkidk tell me what you think?
wc: 1741
something was wrong. something was very wrong. he didnt know what had happened but he had seen the pain shining through on your tear streaked face. two seconds later, you were gone, pushing your way past him as you raced out the door. he hadn't had a chance to stop you. seeing you like that had frozen him to the core, fear shackling him in place. 
he turned to follow, but was stopped by one of his brothers. hoping for answers, he paused to ask, 'what happened to mc?'
'you don't know?' 
'obviously not, if I'm asking you now?' panic made him a little snappier than usual, and it was clear the other brother noticed. the hand holding his arm retracted slowly. 
'we don't know either, we were hoping you knew something. it just happened.' 
he threw himself into the recesses of his mind, quickly going over every scrap of knowledge he held, hoping to find something, anything, that could be the reason for this. 
but there was nothing. 
'i don't know. but I can't, I have to, they're out there alone, i-' 
'go,' his brother quickly urged, 'go find mc, I know they need you right now' 
he turned and darted out, trying to figure out which way mc had gone. 
you couldn't have gone far. you were human and it was dark out and you weren't all that strong and
that train of thought was not helpful, in the least. 
he took a guess and started running. he prayed to whatever was out there that truly cared, that he would find you safely and that he could help you with whatever was wrong. 
his ddd kept buzzing, but he ignored it, knowing that it was his brothers, trying to find you. 
he almost ran right by you. he wouldn't have noticed at all except he had seen the glow of a ddd in the settling shadows along the treeline behind the house. he skid to a stop, dried leaves crunching and scattering beneath his feet. 
he slowly approached, not want to scare you off. if something had happened to you, a hulking demon racing toward you in the darkness would be the last thing you needed. 
'MC, love?' he kept his voice soft as he came closer. 'what's wrong, love?' 
your face jerked up, not having heard his approach. tears were streaming down your face. there looked like there was a smudge of dirt on your cheek, somehow missed by the tears. 
he sank beside you and held his arms out. he wasn't going to push you, no matter how hard his possessiveness demanded he grab you and relocate you to a safer space. all sorts of thoughts were going through his head at lightning speed, things that could have happened, things that should never happen, and it might possibly drive him to madness if he couldn't hold you in his arms. 
you threw yourself into his arms and began to sob anew into his neck. one hand clutched his shoulder and the other wrapped around his neck. he quickly gathered you up and settled you in his lap, arms coming around to hold you to him. 
(he did also manage to maneuver his ddd out to text his brothers that he had found you, he'd talk to them later, but he needed to take care of you.) 
he held you tightly against him until your cries had turned to soft sniffles. 
'if or when you are ready to talk, I'm here and ready to listen. anything you need, mc, from any realm, I don't care, it's yours. please. please tell me how I can make you happy again. that's all I want. I love you and I need you and no matter what happened, we're gonna get through it' he stroked your hair as he softly reaffirmed his love for you and his wishes for your future happiness with him, his brothers, and all of your friends. 
eventually, your breathing evened out and he almost thought you had fallen asleep, if not for the nervous clenching your fingers were doing around your ddd. 
'MC, are you ready to go back in?' 
you shook your head slightly and peeked up at him through wet lashes. 
'I'm so sorry that I worried you and everyone. I got really overwhelmed and then I was running, I'm so sorry.' your voice was small, slightly muffled from being pressed into his chest. 
'MC, don't be sorry. there's nothing you need to apologize for. can you tell me what happened?' 
you sighed heavily. 'you're going to think it's srupid.'
'i swear to you here and now, that I will never think that. I couldn't.'
you squirmed under his gaze, not really wanting to admit… 
'I actually just finished reading chapter 120 of jujutsu kaisen.'
lucifer: it takes everything in this man to not set you back down on the ground and walk away
'what is that? a book? you're crying over a book?' 'luci no it's serious, look at this' *pulls up manga in ddd* 'I'm so sad now, my life is ruint' 
'MC, you terrified the most powerful demons in existence. everyone was so worried about you, I was-' 
'you were…? 👀' 
*mumbles* 'I was worried too' 
'awh luci, you big softie' 
he'll eventually want to get up, but if you're not ready to go back inside, he's willing to do a few laps around the back lawn w you
mammon: he's shocked into silence. 
'all of this? all of this because you read something sad?' 
'mams, you don't understand! *shows him ch 120* look!!' 
'okay, mc, damn, first of all spoiler alerts?? c' mon now! *begins to read* oh… oh. oh no'
mammon also begins to cry. 
now mammon is sad. so to cheer the both of you up, he pulls out his own ddd and pulls up akuzon while pulling Goldie out of his pocket. 
'okay mc, we're both going to pick something shiny to make us feel better, if lucifer asks, you don't know where any of this came from' 
levi: 'oh my goodness, mc, I feel that. I feel that in my shriveled little Otaku demon soul' 
he'll pull you back into his arms and hold you tighter, not even turning into a blushy mess as the closeness. 
he was way ahead of you in the manga, so he'd had time to come to terms w it, but it came back, fresh as could be. 
he'd gladly suffer it again if it meant you didn't have to suffer alone. 
satan: he would have done anything to stop you from looking as devastated as you did. 
has no idea what jjk is about. he's still willing to sit and listen to your detailed analysis of the chapter in question. he'll sit there with you, letting your voice calm him and center him. his wrath had almost been a tangible thing, seeping from his pores, as he had been ready to leave you in the care of his brothers to go hunt down whoever or whatever had hurt you and end them. 
it took a lot of work for you to talk him down from going to the human world to 'have a little chat' w akutami. 
he's read a lot and he knows the intimate pain of dealing with book emotions. he'll deny having a reaction like yours ever, in his long eternal life, but he's a liar. everyone has had at least one good breakdown from reading. 
asmo: 'mc you should know by now that boys (ie akutami) don't deserve your tears! you better buck up buttercup!' 
I feel like asmo always has some sort of beauty tool on hand, probably like a small emergency hairbrush, that's a backup for his large emergency hairbrush, so he'll pull it out and brush your hair until you've calmed down. 
he'll let you talk about what happened, he knows just how happy you can get when talking about your hobbies, and he knows he needs to let you get all of this off your chest before you can go back in and face everyone. 
beel: he's going to pull out a snack and give it to you. we all know he's really stingy w his food, but he decided to keep 1 small snack on him at all times, just for you. he's going to act like it's the chocolate from harrison porter. it. will. heal. you. 
when you're ready to go back in, he's not going to let you walk on your own. man's gonna pick you up and carry you bridal style back to the house of lamentation, first stop is to his and belphie's room to grab you the fuzziest blanket, second stop to the kitchen, to make you the best super snack ever. 
belphie: belphie is very obviously confused. he also considers putting you back on the ground. 
he'll just sit there quietly and let you get it all off your chest. 
if the night is nice enough, he'll probably stay out there as long as you want. he's content to know that you're okay, even if he wonders if he's actually worth comforting you when you're in pain, when he's caused you worse pain. 
after he had 'killed' you, he wanted to make things up to you, so if you're feeling a little needy, now is the time to make requests of him. even if it's just a little more snuggle time, he's giving in and getting you anything and everything you'd want, just so he can see you smile again. 
chances are, the two of you will end up falling asleep. the brothers won't be too concerned now that they know you're okay, but they probably won't come out looking for you. 
when you finally get back in, all of the brothers tiptoe around you, until you tell them explicitly that you are okay and a general overview of what had happened. lucifer has to call diavolo back and let him know that you're okay and No he doesn't need to come over to check on you, you're going to sleep soon, No barbatos won't just let you come over right now, what do you mean he's already opening a portal? the angels and Solomon are also in the group and after enough fussing, you, the little mortal, managed to wrangle all of your loved ones out the door so you could finally go get some rest.
