A Red Leviathan
Part three of the Devildom Taxi Service is here! Warning: this is not my best work, and it is not proofread. But, gosh, it was bugging me, just sitting there in my Google Docs. I've already outlined the next brother's story, and I plan on getting it out before the New Year.
I hope you still enjoy it!
Warnings: One slightly suggestive joke towards the end, tooth-rotting fluff, a very flustered Levi

Due to a rather miserable series of events, the House of Lamentationās kitchen was no longer available for dinner tonight. You hadnāt been present at the kitchenās destruction, but you suspected foul play between Beel and Mammon. The two were often at each otherās throats, Mammonās greed and Beelās insatiable resembling perfect rivals. It would not be a stretch to assume they had been arguing over Beelās new carton of Hell Pepper Jelly. Such a fight undoubtedly left a hole in the wall, rendering the kitchen out of commission. You couldnāt help but snicker when you imagined Luciferās scrunched nose and brow. He wanted to starve them, but doing so would look poorly on him. He also had you to look after. Taking his family to a simple restaurant and paying for those who hadnāt caused mayhem seemed like a reasonable solution. Thatās why you were heading towards Leviathanās room- to fetch him for dinner.Ā
Climbing the steps that lead to his door, you could already make out thundering game music. The base reverberated from behind the oak door, and there was a triumphant crescendo of brass. Leviathan was, you gathered, fighting the boss of some TSL Spin-Off. A symphony of grunts, screams, and curses accompanied the musical backing. The music had led you to believe the demon had been doing well, but that clearly wasnāt the case. You inhaled sharply through your nose before knocking on the door.Ā
āIām busy!ā Leviathan screamed.Ā
You didnāt expect him to be cordial when raging. His voice rang out against the music. Leviathan gave out a shrill yell; he had been struggling for a while. You gave it a second before you spoke again.Ā
āLeviachan!ā You sang.Ā
The fervent keyboard smashing stuttered for a second, and you heard Levi make an unidentifiable noise that was strewn between a gasp and a snort. It was oddly adorable.Ā
There was a moment when you heard nothing but the background music. An image of a red-faced Levi popped into your noggin. His fingers were probably stretched out over several keys, frozen yet twitching. One brow would certainly be cocked, and his fangs would have a tenacious grasp on his bottom lip. You could not see him, but you pictured him as a mess. You didnāt need to see him to know you were spot on.
āLe-vi-a-chan!ā You annunciated each syllable in a way that was so unnervingly clear. Leviās circumstances grew more difficult behind the door with each passing second.
A strangled whine emitted from behind the door, and you got him- hook, line, and sinker. It was time to real him in.
The music cut off. Unsteady footsteps skipped to the door. The large oak door swung open and, leaning along the doorway with a furious blush, was Levi. Just as you had suspected, he looked like a mess. Hands dug deep under his arms, and fangs buried themselves in his bottom lip. For someone screaming ferociously before, Levi was shy now. If you hadnāt spent as much time in the Devildom as you had, this swift change in demeanor would be offputting. Still, it was always refreshing to see how quickly the many sides of Leviathan could show themselves.
Leviās eyes avoided yours at first, but as soon as he caught yours, he said, āIām in the middle of a very important battle.ā He straightened his back and puffed up his chest. āSo what dāya want?ā
It took everything within you not to laugh at the change. Your boy was trying so hard to appear manly, but his face was not helping. Red continued to stretch over his face as he spoke.Ā
āCome on now, Human. I donāt have all day. Iāve never left a game paused for so long.ā
āYes, yes, I know. But Iām here on a mission.ā
You give him a toothy grin as you recount Luciferās instructions. As you do, you notice Leviās face fall slightly at the mention of his older brother. Sure, you have always visited Leviās chambers frequently. The idea of someone else telling you to do so left him uneasy.Ā
āOf course, those two idiots caused a scene. Theyāre always doing something wrong,ā he sighed. His shoulders had relaxed, and the blush had dimmed slightly. āSo Lucifer ordered you to come get me for dinner? Fine.āĀ
The poor demon boy removed himself from the way and headed back into the comfort of his cove. Reluctantly, he turned his monitor and PC off, wincing at the whooshing noise the system made as it turned black. He stuffed his hands in his pockets, muttered a small goodbye to Henry, and closed the door to his room.Ā
His eyes flashed over yours as he muttered, āLetās go, then.ā
āAye aye, Captain!ā you called after him.Ā
From behind, you could easily make out his tense shoulders and crimson ear tips. Gosh, you enjoyed teasing him so much. Your words must have landed a critical hit on his heart because the boy remained silent until you reached the scraggly group of brothers waiting on the floor below.Ā
Like a teacher, Lucifer took the group's headcount before announcing where youād all be eating. Since Mammon wronged Beel, Beel got to choose the eatery. Hellās Kitchen was the obvious choice. If anyone made even the slightest noise of disapproval, Lucifer smacked the back of their heads. You had to warn Levi can keep his mouth shut. In response, he stuck his tongue at you.
āCareful,ā you muse, āI might catch that later.ā You winked at him.Ā
Your words left a ferocious blush on the poor guyās face. He almost had a heart attack right then and there.Ā
āGah, donāt say that!ā he squeaked. Gosh, he was adorable.
āBut you look so cute when you blush. Itās a fact.ā
After a minute of clutching his heart and hiding his face in his hands, you heard him whimper, āThis doesnāt fit my tsundere persona.āĀ
You had to admit that your boyfriend was incredibly self-aware. Even when you first met him, he struggled to hide his flust-rations (that pun was horrible).Ā
āHey, enough chit-chat back there! It would be a shame if either of you missed dinner,ā Luci called from before you. A mischievous glint in his crimson eye caused Levi to blush and grimace. You just snickered and began to walk along with the group, almost leaving your boyfriend behind. He scurried to catch up with you.Ā
ā¦
Why Lucifer insisted that you walked, you had no idea, but you hated him for it. The Devildom was boundless, and nothing ever stayed in place. Different locations constantly changed, and traveling was difficult. Especially for you, a human with no power at all. Being the distant descendant of a fallen angel didnāt help. You couldnāt summon any mystical wings or a spirit animal to carry you. It sucked. You were already beginning to sweat; it was disgustingly hot. You felt as though you had been walking for days. Screw the incomprehensible time-thing down here.Ā
āYou look like youāre about to pass out,ā Levi voiced from behind you.Ā
His blush was long gone, one headphone covering an ear, and he was flipping through apps on his phone. He looked cool both in terms of temperature and aura.Ā
āI might if we donāt get to the restaurant soon.āĀ
You meant it as a joke, trying to shrug off the pressing heat. However, Levi didnāt take it like that. Within a second, his hand was on your shoulder, and he looked worried.Ā
āReally? If you donāt feel well, you should tell me sooner!āĀ
That really didnāt fit his tsundere persona.Ā
āIām fine,ā you lied.
āBull.āĀ
Levi shut off his phone, removed his headphones, and shoved the articles in his pockets (Iām just convinced these boys have ābags of holdingā for their pockets). He darted in front of you and bent down.Ā
āLevi?ā you asked. āWhatāre you doing?ā
āGet on.ā
āI can walk,ā you tried to reason.Ā
āI donāt care. If you keep going on like this, youāre gonna start complaining, and I donāt have the mental capacity to deal with that right now.ā
Of course, he needed a reason to justify being nice to you. Levi truly was a romantic soul.Ā
āIāll be sure to keep it to a minimum,ā you retorted dryly.Ā
āHuman, I swear, if I have to stay like this for even a second longer, Iām going to throw you over my shoulder,ā he paused, āand I think this would be more comfortable.āĀ
Wow, he must really be concerned. You agreed then and clung onto his back. As he stood back up, he made some joke about you being heavy, but he was just kidding. You didnāt weigh a thing to him. Being a demon with immense power had its perks, like being able to pick up adorable humans.Ā
He smelled amazing. This man smelled like the ocean but, like, clean. It reminds you of the āOceanā scent from a famous store on Earth but much better. His jacket was also soft and cool, and the air around you shifted from depressingly caliente to cool and crisp. You silently thanked the universe that the Sin of Envy found power in the ocean, that he felt like a sunset on the beach at the tail-end of summer. Boy howdy, the relief was incredible.Ā
āThanks, Levi. Want me to return the favor later?ā You asked against his ear. Mans looked like a fire hydrant.Ā
āYou couldnāt even walk to the restaurant! I doubt you could carry me on the way back!ā He made an excellent point.Ā
āYeah, sure, but we could see about tonight.ā You were such a friggin tease.Ā
āWhat does that even- Oh, my God. You- youāre evil,ā he could barely keep his voice from breaking. You had to lay off the flirting if you two wanted to get to the eatery safely.Ā
āHeh, maybe I really do belong in the Devildom,ā you mused.Ā
āYeah, well you belong to me, and thatās where I live.ā
āYou belong with me, Levi.ā
āWhatever.āĀ
You could see that, from his shoulder, he had a sweet smile on his face.
