mammon wasn't having the best day.
having already lost a shit ton of money placing multiple irresponsible and unreasonable bets; the avatar of greed was now broke. not a hint of grimm in his pockets. not to mention that you had been out on important business with the royals, Diavolo and barbatos. plus the human sorcery. he faintly remembers barbatos mentioning a small disturbance within the human world, and that you and Solomon's powers were needed. so he wasn't going to see you for about another 5 hours.
stepping inside the house of lamentation, mammon looked around, noting that no one was in sight. he let out a small sigh of relief. the last thing he needed was for his brothers to get under his skin. and yet, the first thing he did was hum in thought,
I wonder if beel ate yet ?
did Levi's package come yet? maybe I should check the mailbox for him.
I hope belfie isnt sleeping anywhere dangerous
I should find Satan a new book
I hope asmo's post blows up again
I hope Lucifer is feeling alright.
the silver haired boy sighed deeply, chucking his shoes and jacket off: leaving him in a cotton white T-shirt and a pair of black sweats.
he closes the door before walking in the direction of the kitchen. he was hungry, and going out to eat definitely wasn't an option. walking into the kitchen, mammon popped the cabinet open, squinting as he searched and rummaged around, grunting in frustration,
"where the hell is it?" he said, looking for his hell-sauce flavored noodles. groaning and shuffling multiple snacks and foods aside, mammon failed to notice the sound of footsteps approaching the kitchen. that was until he heard someone clear their throat, in which he gasped, slapping his hand to his chest, panting softly. mammon turns around, face red and growling,
"oi! what the hell do ya think yer doing sneakin' up on the great mamm-", mammon froze in his place when he saw you, hand in your pockets and a small smile on your face; amused, as if you knew he was was going to crumble the moment he saw you.
mammon's breath hitches, sputtering in place. you were actually here? you weren't supposed to come back until later!
you chuckle through your nose, digging your hand deeper into your pockets, "man, and out of all people, I thought you'd be the happiest to see me, mams"
I am happy to see ya, y/n...!
is what he wanted to say, but he couldn't help but put up a front like he always does,
"what are ya doing here so early, human!? I thought ya were out in the human world! I don't wanna ruin my relax time having to take care of ya, y'know." he said, hands on his hips, with his nose turned up.
he desperately hopes that you'll see right through his little charade. that you'll just brush him off and sweep him into a big hug, telling him how much you missed him. he desperately wanted to whine and pout at you. cling to you and tell you to never leave him again. instead, you hummed, eyes closed and hands shoved in your pockets as you walked past him,
"well alright" you said, nonchalant. "m'gonna go greet the others". you then walked away and into the living room.
mammon felt his breath hitch, pouting and huffing as you turned your back. why didn't you retort with something sassy and teasing like you always do. maybe you were tired? did he go too far? did you not want to talk to him anymore?
the thought alone made mammon's heart drop. he had promised to stop treating you like some weak mortal, and give your credit. you weren't just some average human. you were the RAD'S human exchange student. tamed 7 demon lord's and only got stronger from start to finish. a few misspoken spells here and there caused a few accidents, affecting what used to be your basic sorcery skills into what was now a power so strong, that your glare alone could burn down a whole city. many people respected you. you no longer had to deal with the harsh words from the fellow demons who attended rad. you were respected. truly history in the making.
so no, you weren't just some human. you were y/n.
mammon's thoughts were interrupted when he heard the thundering of cheers from out the living room, hearing how his brothers greeted you with cheers, hugs and pats on the back. asking if you were okay and if you were hurt while on the mission. only for you to laugh them off then continue to thank and assure them that you were okay.
mammon felt guilty. why couldn't he just tell you that he was happy to see you again? ask if you were okay? ask you for a hug? why'd he have to be some damned greedy all the time, looking for attention. he felt ashamed. mammon but his lip nervously, slowly closing the cabinet door and walking in the opposite direction of where the other were, and into his room.
โพ๏ธ โพ๏ธ โพ๏ธ โพ๏ธ โพ๏ธ
in the living room were the rest of the brothers. levi, deciding not to be such a shut- in today brought his Nintendo switch down, and was currently playing a round of Mario kart with beel. beel however was too busy shoving his face with cookies to pay attention enough.
you had your eyes shut and your head thrown back against the couch, arms tucked beneath them. you were a little agitated with how loud they were being, still being a bit drained from traveling all over the human world, getting into fights with some lower level demons and then having to travel back. thankfully you got back earlier. it'd be way better if mammon was here though, you thought. speaking of, where was he?
your thoughts were interrupted as you heard the solid thumping of footsteps approach the living room. sighing deeply through your nose, your agitation grew as you took a guess as to who it was. you opened one of your eyes to peek, and lo and behold, there was Lucifer, brows furrows and teeth clenched as he stared down at a peice of paper, it was starting to crumble with how tight he was gripping it.
for the first few years of living here, he had made your life absolute shit. not to mention the thousands of times he tried to kill you. you found no reason to forgive him, no matter what bs apologize he decided to spew out.
"where in Diavolo is mammon?" he growls out, teeth bared and gritted.
you heard asmo giggle from beside you, "uh oh! what did he do now?"
growling deeply, he replied. "I just received a 500 Grimm bill from that dammed casino he always visits. for the 8th time this week need I remind you" his hands were shaking with anger. he seems a little angrier than usual if you were being honest. slowly, you sat up, face neutral and hands shoved in your pocket as you watched the scene unfold.
Satan scoffed, "only 500?, looks like he's learning"
"please. we all know he never learns" mumbled belphie.
Lucifer grumbled before calling out to the second-born as loud as he could, his voice practically shaking the house.
from his room, mammon felt his heart stop a little as he heard the first-born's voice. what did he do now? sighing softly, mammon attempted to shake his nerves away. whatever Lucifer wanted, he hoped he wasn't in too much trouble.
โพ๏ธ โพ๏ธ โพ๏ธ โพ๏ธ โพ๏ธ
by the time mammon came downstairs, Lucifer had shifted into his demon form. his face was no longer scrunched up in anger, but you could see that he was fuming.
mammon looked into the living room. everyone was in there, all his brothers looking at him, some of them giggling. oh, come on, mams. ya know ya didn't do anything. there's nothing to fear.
"yo, Lucifer. what's with all the yellin', huh? y'know where my room is dontcha-?"
"shut up, mammon" lucifer growled, wings making a small flap as he spoke.
mammon's eyes widened. what?
"i- what's wrong? did something happen-?"
"do you enjoy being such a disappointment all the time, mammon?"
"why? just tell me why you can't do a SINGLE thing right. why can't you do anything without being a NUISANCE TO EVERYBODY YOU CROSS PATHS WITH?"
mammon flinched as he voice raised. why..why was he saying all of these things all of a sudden? he hadn't even done anything. he'd been at the academy almost all day before spending an hour at the casino before coming home. he hadn't even left his room since he came home!
"6.3 billion, mammon. BILLIONS of bills and countless of dept all because you can't keep your damn hands out of your wallet!"
oh... this. he was being singled out because of his sin. again.
the second-born felt embarrassed. all of his brothers gazed at him, laughing and giggling behind their hands. what he noticed the most though, however, was how calm you looked. you didn't look bothered at at, face calm and leaned back against the couch with your arms scrosses and your legs man-spread.
did you agree with Lucifer? did you also think he was nothing but a greedy, selfish demon? did you hate him too.
mammon spoke softly, in hopes that his older brother would calm down and come to his senses.
"Lucifer... I can't help it, alright? if it really bothers you, I'll pay for it, okay-?"
"no. what you should do is serve time in the basement with Cerberus for as long as Diavolo would let me." really...?
mammon's eyes flashed with hurt.
"well what do ya want me to do huh!? you always complain to me about acting out in my sin, but you never do it to the others!" he tried to play off his voice crack,
"I told ya I can't help it! why can't you just listen to me and stop being so fucking stubborn-"
just before mammon could finish his sentence, Lucifer raised a hand high in the air, his eyes filled with the most burning rage he's ever seen. he's gonna hit me, mammon thought. letting out an involuntary squeak, mammon braced himself for the hit, shutting his eyes as tight as he could.
instead, mammon was surprised to hear the older brother sputter. slowly opening his eyes, mammon's eyes flooded with tears.
your left hand gripped lucifers wrist tight, lighting it high in the air while you're right was spread out next to you, arm extended and in front of mammon.
"Lucifer..." you spoke. it was almost scary, no- it was terrifying to hear your voice sound so.. different. almost like you were a different person. mammon couldn't see your face, but it's like he could sence the deadly aura surrounding you. he could practically see it rising off your skin. the look on his brothers face was also unsettling. they all looked terrified. not for you, though
"mortal..." Lucifer beared his teeth. "and just what do you think you're doing?"
your eyes never left him, and for a second, you could see the fear flash through the demons eyes. you gripped his wrist tighter, glare boarding into his eyes.
you stayed quiet for a few seconds before speaking.
"Lucifer... i suggest you leave. "
he growls, "you foolish human... I'll kill you where you stand! do you hear me-!?"
your stare hardens and your grip tightens. ,
"I said leave, lucifer. it's gonna be a rough day in the devildom if you don't.".
"pathetic, sticking up for a greedy, good for nothing demon like him! it's a shame to call someone as incompetent as him my brother-!"
you sighed through your nose, I warned him...
before he or any of the other brothers could react, a sickening crack echoed out through the living room, Lucifer letting out a groundbreaking yell as he dropped to his knees, clutching his hand to his chest, head down.
you had broken Lucifer's wrist.
"yo-you, BITCH!" he growled, lunging up at you in an attempt to get a hit in. eyeing him closely, you stepped out of the way just before he could land a hit, grabbing mammon's wrist and pulling him with you just in the knick of time, seeing that he most likely would've knocked into him. as soon as you were behind him, you wasn't no time gripping his raven locks, tugging his head back. Lucifer's eyes shut in pain, groaning out, gripping your wrists as an attempt to get you to stop. you didn't let up, however, pulling him close enough to your hight for you to whisper in his ear.
"if you EVER attempt to hurt him again," you tug, and he yelps, "what I'm doing now will seem like child's play compared to what I'll do to you. are we clear?"
Lucifer heaved, face red from anger and embarrassment. how could you, a human attempt to subdue him, the avatar of pride, and succeed?
you rugged harder, and this time, Lucifer whimpers, "ye-yes..! crystal clear...".
you glared at him for a moment longer before turning to face the rest of the brothers
"oh. and the rest of you can forget about talking to me from this point forward. disrespecting your own brother. the man who has looked after you since you were children and still cares for you despite the constant shit he gets," you let go of Lucifer's hair, hearing him fall with a low groan, "honestly, it's shameful".
speaking of, you never even looked in mammon's direction since this whole scene unfolded.
mammon had been frozen the entire time. it was like he couldn't even move. he was in so much shock of what you did. not to mention that you did it for him. to protect him. his brothers hadn't even given it a second thought. they were just going to let it happen. he didn't know what to say.
good thing he didn't need to say anything, because you stepped right past Lucifer and walked you way over to the second-born, that once burning glare replaced with soft eyes and your voice filled with concern
"are you alright? there's no need to cry anymore, mams. he's not gonna bother you anymore" your grinned a little "what? y'dont trust me to project you? m' a bit more capable than normal humans, y'know", you chuckled.
he didn't even realize he had been crying until you placed a hand on his cheek, swiping his tears away with your thumb. he was way too pretty to be crying, in your opinion. you'd rather see his eyes shimmer with joy rather than tears. mammon was still shocked, but managed to look up at you, sniffling and gripping your forearm tightly. the tension was beginning to be too much. the rest of his brothers stared at you, shocked and scared written across their faces. Lucifer glared up at the both of you, still grunting in pain.
you nodded, "yeah, c'mon, golden boy. my room or yours?"
mammon gulped, looking down, keeping his grip on your arm, "yours please...?
nodding, you said nothing else as you both climbed the stairs to your room. mammon hadn't said anything the entire way there. it was honestly scaring you. the mammon you knew would shout and scream right back at Lucifer, do everything in his power to get away from punishment. he wouldn't ever let Lucifer have the first word, and would fight to get his way. so it was weird to see him so... defeated. so scared and confused when he had done nothing wrong.
you had opened the door to your room, letting him walk in first before shutting it behind you. you gently took his hand, leading him into the soft, sunken in bed that was covered in large, soft and fluffy pillows, topped with a weighted blanket. gently leading him to the edge of the bed, you gently pushed against his shoulder, prompting him to lay down. he was still sniffling, looking up at you. you whispered to him softly
"lay here, pretty boy. I've still gotta change my clothes"
at this, mammon's eyes widened, more tears springing to them. he hadn't even registered the nickname.
"no..! stay here.. don't want you to go"
you blinked, surprised. "I'll only be a second, mams-"
"no!" he clings tighter, trying to press closer, whining.
you had no choice but to wrap your arms around him as he sniffles into your shoulder, whining as he gripped as tight as he could.
"okay, golden boy, okay- just lemme go and I'll-"
"no! jus' stay..!" y-you're gonna hate me if ya leave so just stay!"
your eyes widen as he said that. he was babbling absolute nonsense. hate him? how could you ever hate him? why would you ever hate him? you gently shushed him as his cries got louder.
"shh, that's alright, golden. just relax, okay? m' right here. I could never hate you. should know that already"
mammon himself couldn't even think straight. he couldn't help but press himself closer to you, greedy for your touch. you slowly and carefully sat on the bed, scooting in before pulling mammon in close to you. you placed him on the side of the bed next to the wall in hopes that he'd feel secure.
your clothes were filthy from being out all day, and you smelt of sweat from all of the moving you did. but mammon didn't care, pressing his face closer into your chest as you rubbed his back.
"don't worry about it anymore, golden boy. you're safe now"
he whimpers, "why don't they like me, y/n?". you froze, a flash of anger passing through your heart as you thought of all the ways you wanted to avenge mammon for all the shit his brothers caused him.
"what do you mean, mams?", you spoke calmly despite your fury.
he speaks lowly, voice raw from crying, "I just- I didn't even do anything this time? why can't I do anything right? W-WHY do they all hate me so much-?". you sighed through your nose, pushing his face back into your chest, quieting him. anymore talk like that, and you'd probably get kicked from the devildom for assault. one brother is understandable, but the others? eh, maybe it's worth it?
"it's alright now, mams. you don't have to ask why anymore. it doesn't matter. you've done all you could to search for some validation from your brothers, Lucifer especially, but you know he's prideful. he isn't worth crying over. especially not after he tried to hit you." your tone lowered into a soft one, "way too pretty to be crying anyways" you mumbled.
mammon sniffles and hiccups, closing his eyes and trying to push himself closer to you. your touch, your words, your actions . you overstimulated his entire being just being around him. for diavolos sake, you defended him. in the most badass way possible too. the other brothers hadn't even seen you get up. like it was second nature.
mammon loved you. he loved you so much, but how could you ever love someone like him? a greedy, selfish, ungrateful bastard.
mammon felt your hand trail down to his lower back, rubbing in soft, slow circles.
"mammon, pretty? look at me?"
mammon sniffles, lifting his head up a bit to look at you. be blushes as you smiled
"why d'ya keep calling me pretty, hm?".
you scoffed, smiling a little, "cause you are"
"yeah you are. always been pretty to me. always been my pretty boy"
"don't- don't say it like that... dont say I'm yours".
you felt your movements stutter as he said that, heart dropping. shit, you haven't even considered the fact that he may not like you. did you go too far?
your movements on his back stopped and you brought your hand up to your mouth, gnawing on your thumbnail. yeah, you teased mammon a lot and it was cute to embarrass and fluster him. you liked him, but you had only assumed that he felt the same way.
mammon felt you shift and the tension thicken. it made his heart stop. he didn't mean it like that.
he looked at you, eyes searching desperately for a sign that you weren't upset at him.
"you don't have to lie mammon. I shouldn't have came on so strong. you're hurt enough as it is", your voice was low as your spoke, "I'll only leave if you want me too, though, until you fall asleep. I won't bother you after that-"
your sentence was cut short as mammon leaped up, his features twisted into anger before he pressed his lips to yours, gripping the front your your shirt in tight fists.
he continued to sit up, pushing closer to you and tilting his head to deepen the kiss, not once pulling away. and you couldn't help but kiss back.
he mumbled in between kisses.
"I do wanna be yours, peck just... I didn't think you'd feel the same
you had to stop yourself from kissing him any further. not that you didn't like it, but he was driving you crazy. you gently placed both hands on his cheeks, looking down at him and chuckling as he pouted, eyes still glassy
"I like you, too, mams. always have"
"no! I wanna here you say ya love me!"
"greedy as ever, hm? I love you, greedy boy"
mammon blushes, "that's better". he sighs softly, closing his eyes and resting his head on your chest. "and I love you too..."
it was silent for a few moments before you heard him speak again,
"so um.. just realized I never thanked you for, y'know"
"nu uh, mams. I don't wanna hear that. I wanted to protect you. i wasn't doing it for praise"
"but you risked your life-!?"
"risked my life?" your chuckled, "yeah, hardly"
mammon huffed before going back to closing his eyes. "yeah yeah, whatever... keep being reckless and see what happens. it'll catch up to ya. "
you smiled softly, continuing to rub his back.
"don't worry too much about it too much, pretty, kay? I'll deal with the consequences later. just sleep."
mammon's nods against your chest, feeling a wave of calm wash over him. he really did love you.
and..maybe being your pretty boy wasn't so bad.
