MC is banned from showing Diavolo human world youtube videos because after the last time he wouldn't stop calling himself "da devil from da bible" for like a week and Barbatos was this close to fucking snapping.
I lowkey put him off because of the VA situation and letting poor Asmo rest for a bit before addressing his place in Lesson Sixteen. I may even write fluff of him later (I am lying I have zero fluff ideas, only brick)
TW: Asmo's diet issues as reference for changes Mc caused while Belphegor was gone,
Asmodeus stood in the doorway of the planetarium. He stared at Belphegor for a while, wishing he could separate the images of his little brother from the killer he turned into. He remembered begging Lucifer to do something, anything as he cried as uselessly as he did when Lilith died. Belphegor rolled over and stared right back at Asmo, looking defiantly as if Asmodeus was challenging him when all that sat in Asmo's heart was a deep sadness for the little angel that used to ask his big brother to do his hair and paint his nails. Asmodeus perked up the corners of his mouth to his usual falsity of happiness. He plopped himself down next to Belphegor and got right to fussing over him.
"Oh you poor thing, you didn't take any care of yourself up there. Let's get your hair and nails done Belphe."
"You're not mad?"
"..." Asmo outright ignored the question "I think I'll use purple again, with white tips would be cute. But what shade is the question."
"Asmo?"
Belphegor looked up in time for a tear to fall on his nose. Asmo took a deep breath and wiped his own tears off Belphegor's face.
"You should have talked to us Belphegor, Mc's blood isn't a good look on anyone."
Asmodeus took Belphegor's hand and got to work with the polish he already had with him. Belphegor dared not say a word to interrupt Asmo, who was already seconds away from hysterics.
"You missed a lot Belphie, way too much. You couldn't possibly hear everything so I guess I should tell you."
Belphegor didn't take any chance to doze off as Asmo started on the beginning of the story with some superficial beginning about himself as he always would. Over the course of the story Belphegor learned of how Mammon loved Mc and was behaving a little better even if he would always be Mammon, how Mc was Leviathan's first non-online friend helping him come out of his shell, how Satan was feeling calmer since he made a pact with Mc and learned some new anger management tricks, how Beel was getting better about not raiding the fridge at night with Mc's assistant, and how Lucifer was less grumpy thanks to the snacks Mc brought him. Asmo decided to end on himself with just one little detail the brothers all knew but couldn't do anything about.
"Mc even started taking me out to good dinners. They really insisted I eat more of what I liked instead of worrying about all that. Oh, and let me tell you about the steak at Ristorante Six, it was simply divine!"
Belphegor felt a bit funny. Asmo never ate meat, tofu in a salad sure but he could never sit himself in front of a nice steak without going to throw up after. There was also the issue that Asmo would always leave his exes forgotten with dates that would never stay in his memory as long as the relationship which was usually just a one night stand. This was just one instance of a hundred cases amongst each of his brothers that Belphegor missed. Belphegor's brothers were happier and he missed it all, a human made them all happy and he killed them. He was left to rot with his misery in an attic that was so isolated despite Lucifer trying to make it comfortable for him while all his brothers went out and healed.
Asmodeus noticed Belphegor crying and quickly pulled him into a hug. Belphegor hadn't even known he was sobbing until Asmo was rocking him gently.
"I'm sorry Belphe, we all thought you were getting better in the human realm. You used to love humans so, even Beel thought you'd start loving them again. I don't think you'll be allowed alone with Mc, but I'm sure they'll help you the way they helped the rest of us."
"Asmo, please don't lie about that, they're not gonna help me."
"Maybe not, but we can still hope can't we? They've been really kind to us when we were really mean so there's still a chance."
Belphegor sniffled and Asmo pet his hair. It was a horrible thing to almost ruin his brother's lives all over again because they loved some stupid human. He hated them, he hated that they fixed everything in the cursed house but him. He wanted whatever magic words they said to make everything better but it wasn't like pulling a rabbit out of a hat. His brothers all had the potential to be better and the willingness to put the work in if they were told how to do it. Belphegor may as well be stuck the fallen he was the day he learned Lilith was dead.
Ppl got to understand that being Latino doesn't automatically make someone a person of color and that u can be white and latino the same way u can be afro Latino, or asian and Latino or, indigenous and Latino etc etc
