Your writing really cheers me up on bad days, if requests are open can I ask how would the demon brothers comfort an mc whoβs been feeling sad? Like mc has to deal with extended family drama and sheβs just like done with all their toxicity
Headcanon: How the Obey Me brothers cheer up MC when theyβre sad
Thank you for your ask, and Iβm really flattered that you like my writing :) I hope your bad days arenβt too numerous, my friend <3
You have to seek him out for comfort.
Itβs not that he didnβt notice.
He did, as soon as you started feeling a bit down.
Itβs not that he doesnβt care.
He does, more than likely anyone else.
He respects you too much as a person to jump to the assumption you need someone to cheer you up.
If you wanted to tough it out, heβd have accepted that.
As it turns out, you want a shoulder to cry on... metaphorically.
So heβs happy to be that support person for you.
And Lucifer... is a great listener.
It hardly seems like five minutes have passed before heβs got both of you in a quiet, empty room, with tea, and the time to talk.
Maybe he doesnβt actually have the time.
If heβs going to be sleepless for three days because of this, he wouldnβt tell you that.
Itβs worth it, to make sure youβre feeling alright.
If you want to talk about your family... then you talk.
Heβll talk as long as you need.
Time is hardly a problem for the fallen angel, after all, when it comes to the grand scope of things.
He always has one more day.
If you donβt want to talk about whatβs wrong?
Then he can distract you.
Lucifer... is a great storyteller.
Heβs sort of been aware for a few days that things with you are... off.
He doesnβt snoop- well, any more than normal.
And he doesnβt mention what he sees to any of his brothers.
He hates being teased about caring for you.
So instead, without saying much of anything about it, he schedules to drag you along with him everywhere he goes.
Your day is suddenly filled with distractions.
Flashing lights and blaring noise in a club.
Never once do you mention whatβs wrong.
But you know heβs try to help. And he know you need the support.
So, in a strange way, his method... works.
When you get upset, you start to avoid Leviβs room.
Youβre not really sure why, but maybe itβs just...
And he knows when things are getting bad with you mentally or emotionally.
You donβt like putting him through the pain of seeing that and not really knowing how to help.
Unknowingly, this is almost worse.
At least if you were in his room or around him, he could... try to help.
But when you just avoid him, he starts to wonder if its his fault.
No! He tells himself. No! This is about MC.
Levi would give it his all if he had the chance to help.
But this is just... how it is.
Thereβs just something about being the Avatar of Wrath that lets him feel when youβre upset.
You donβt have to be angry.
Somehow, irritation and sadness... almost feel the same.
(Anger is usually just a mask for sadness, after all.)
Itβs easier to be angry.
He doesnβt always understand the emotions youβre feeling.
But when itβs about family?
Well, he understands that better than anything.
Like Lucifer, he lets you come to him.
He doesnβt want to overstep any boundaries he wasnβt aware were there.
If you choose to go to him, heβll do his best.
If you want to be alone somewhere quiet and peaceful, then his room is yours for the day.
You can read books and play with cats.
That always helps him cheer up, after all.
If you want him to stay, then heβll try his best to distract you.
Heβs not the greatest at sorting through family problems, after all.
Heβll teach you some spells (curses for your family ;))
If you donβt want to risk any magic, then maybe heβll teach you to dance.
Satan is gentle, and softspoken.
If youβre upset, Asmo will not notice.
Heβll apologize profusely if its brought up, but... he just canβt help it.
Heβs always thinking about other things.
He always doing other things.
And he does care about you, he promises, more than anything.
Each time, he promises to do better next time, but it just happens again.
Once you bring it up (or, more often, one of his brother does), he focuses on nothing but cheering you up.
Darling, youβve come to the right demon.
Will be it Majolish or the human world?
This time is about you, love, and donβt you forget it.
Heβs going to make you forget there were any problems to begin with.
Beelβs default way of dealing with problems is eating.
Of course heβs a stress eater.
Heβs the Avatar of Gluttony.
Mix being always hungry with stress making you hungry.
So itβs his first reaction to just get you somewhere with good food.
Youβll both be heading to Ristorante Six, time of the day be damned.
Heβll pay every cent, and just keep you engaged with conversation that is distracting.
If you want something homemade and to just have a quiet night in, thatβs fine too.
Heβll make you a buffet.
Youβll spend the rest of the night with him (and Belphegor, by default).
Belphie can feel sadness radiating off you in waves, even all the way from the attic.
The others might mock him for how he tries to help you, but, well...
He knows what helps him when heβs upset.
He drags all the blankets from his bed (and also half the brothersβ sheets), and makes a fluffy nest on the floor.
He shoots you a quick, short text telling you to come up to the attic.
Not having the energy to argue, of course you go.
And thereβs your Avatar of Sloth, laying in the middle of the cocoon of blankets, with a perfectly you-sized spot left beside him.
He taps the space invitingly.
If you need to cry for a little while before you sleep... thatβs alright.
Once darkness closes peacefully over you, heβll monitor your dreams.
Heβll chase away anything that seems sad or scary.
He wants you to rest well.
