Event Info & Rules
WHUMPTOBER is a month-long, prompt-based creation challenge (think: Inktober, but whumpier). There are 31 official themes this year - one for each day of the month - which can be used, skipped, or combined in any way you’d like. They are meant to serve as inspiration without being taken literally (e.g. you don’t have to include the exact wording of prompts into your work). Feel free to run rampant on interpretation. For example, if the prompt is “flame", you could create something with reference to a candle/campfire, your character could have suffered a burn, or the flame could be a reference to an ‘old flame’ - an old relationship. It’s truly down to you!
In total, there are 4 prompts for each day. These are optional suggestions and can be used in conjunction with the theme, or as options/alternatives. We want to give everyone as much creative freedom as possible, as well as increase event accessibility for folks with triggers and squicks. There is also a list of 15 alternative prompts that can be subbed in for any day, again to give participants as much creative freedom as possible.
Creators can PRODUCE work in any media they choose, including but not limited to: writing, visual artwork, photo/video/audio edits, paper crafts and elaborate recommendation lists (not just a list of links). Creators can PARTICIPATE as much or as little as they want (i.e. you don’t have to do ALL the prompts if you don’t want to) and prompts can be used in any order. They are also free to use even after the event ends.
When uploading Whumptober content to your blog, be sure to tag it with:
#whumptober2024 …..(the event tag)
#no.1, #no.2, #no.3, …..(theme number)
#bruises, #stabbing, …..(the theme or specific prompt you chose)
#altprompt …..(if you use an altprompt, tag the post with the number of the prompt you replace)
#fandom or #OC, …..(ironman, original content, oc, etc.)
#medium …..(gifs, fic, podcast, art, etc.)
#teeth, #etc …..(trigger warnings & any additional tags. Keep in mind not to add “tw” in front but only use the word/trigger itself)
#nsfwhump …..(only for nsfw content)
#your own tags go here
PLEASE BE DILIGENT WITH YOUR TAGGING. Only properly tagged posts are considered for archiving on the official @whumptober-archive blog. They must be tagged in the order above. An elaborate post about our tagging system can be found [here]
Unfortunately, due to the sheer number of participants in recent years, we cannot guarantee your work will be archived. A random selection of properly tagged posts from all genres will be reblogged each day.
Whumpers who produce content for 31 total theme days are considered event completionists and will be tagged in a masterpost at the end of the month. A form will be published at the beginning of November asking you to tell us if you completed. This is based on trust and we will not check this.
Frequently Asked Questions
Please read this before you send an ask!
TIMELINE
July: Trope voting form released.
Late August: Prompt list is released for at least four weeks of preparation time. Tropes cannot be posted earlier than August 25th because of Moderator obligations in real life. (But, you know, go ahead and start writing/drawing, and add the themes in later, if you want!)
September: Do as much or as little on your works as you want. You can prepare everything in advance or let September go by with vibes and start working in October. It’s up to you.
October 1st: Challenge begins! A storm of whump breaks upon us all! During this time, some posts will be reblogged to the whumptober archive blog. We open the yearly AO3 collection for posting (optional).
November 1st: The challenge is officially over! Completionist form opens for those who want to be included in the hall-of-fame.
Early November: We release completionist and participant badges, solicit feedback, and post a hall-of-fame list of completionists by the 10th.
PARTICIPATION AND COMPLETION
Q: What counts as participation?
Create or continue at least one work inspired by one of this year’s prompts.
Q: What counts as completion?
Creating work(s) inspired by at least one prompt from each day (or alts), for a total of 31 unique prompts.
Q: Do I need to create 31 works?
No. You can, if you want. Or you can create one work that you add to every day with a new prompt. Or several works that combine prompts. You can also update an existing work by adding new material with the current prompts.
Q: Do I need to post my works somewhere to be a completionist or a participant?
No.
Q: How do you know I actually completed the challenge?
We’ll take your word for it!
Q: Do I have to finish my work(s) to be a completionist?
No, you can post WIPs. And you’re not obligated to finish them in October, but if you want it to count towards being a completionist, you must have completed 31 prompts by the end of the month. So for example, if you’re writing a long fic and you fit 31 different prompts into the writing you did in October, it’s okay if that fic isn’t finished by the time October ends, you’ll still be a completionist.
Q: Is co-writing/illustrating allowed?
Yes, absolutely, and it would count towards being a completionist for both/all of you.
Q: Is there a min/max limit on word count for written works?
No.
Q: Is there a min/max limit of quality for art?
No.
Q: Do I have to do something each day to be a completionist?
No. You can skip days whenever you want, and as long as 31 daily prompts (or alts) are in your works done in October, you can be a completionist. For example, if you wrote a 1000-word ficlet that covers prompts in days 2, 3, and 17, you can check all three days off your list even though it’s only one work.
Q: Is this challenge just for fics?
No! Artworks, GIFsets, headcannons, rec lists, poetry, moodboards, or any other creative work is encouraged.
Q: Can I combine Whumptober with other creation challenges?
Absolutely, as long as the other challenges allow it too.
PROMPTS
Q: How do the prompts work?
There are FOUR prompts per day: a theme and three ideas. You can use one, two, three, or all four prompts for each day. If you don’t like any of the daily prompts, you can substitute one of the ALT prompts instead.
Q: How strictly/literally should we interpret the prompts?
As literally or as figuratively as you want. For example, if the theme is WATER, that could mean drowning, waterboarding, raining, swimming, take place underwater, be lost at sea, construct a metaphor about a character’s mood that changes like a flowing river, crying, or whatever else you can think of that fits that theme.
Q: Can I combine prompts? Is there a limit on how many?
No limit and combine as many as you’d like. If you create a work that checks off multiple prompts, that work will count for a fill of multiple prompts. You need to address 31 different prompts to be an official completionist, but you don’t have to produce 31 separate works.
WORKS
Q: What’s whump?
Hurting a character, whether that’s physically, emotionally, intellectually, psychologically, or any other way you can think of. Comfort afterwards is optional. Angst is emotional whump, so it counts.
Q: How do I know if it’s whumpy enough?
If your character is just mildly inconvenienced, it probably needs more whump. However, no participant has to prove whumpiness to the mods. Whatever you write is up to you.
Q: What kind of characters can I create for?
Anything. Generic “whumpee,” OC, PC, NPC, major characters, minor characters, or whatever you want. There are no limits.
Q: Does it have to take place in a specific fandom?
No, you can create works for your own worlds or for fandoms or for both. You can also create more generic or pan-fandom works. You can do cross-overs or use OCs, whatever you want.
Q: Can I create AI-created works?
We will not reblog or promote any works we know to be generative AI-created.
Q: Is there anything we’re not allowed to write?
As long as it contains whump and is based on our prompts, it’s fine. Please courtesy tag your works if you post them so people who follow the #whumptober2024 tag can filter according to their preferences.
Q: What about sex, minor characters, and potentially disturbing content?
You can create whatever works are legal in your country and post them accordingly. Please courtesy tag anything you think might be objectionable if you post to Tumblr so people who follow the #whumptober2024 tag can filter according to their preferences.
POSTING
Q: Where can I post my work?
Post where and how you want. You don’t even have to (cross)post it to Tumblr. Just keep in mind if it’s not on Tumblr we will not be able to add it to the blog archive. There is an AO3 archive for Whumptober 2024, as well as the parent collection for works completed outside of the event.
Q: Can I start posting early?
You can, but this is an October event and wouldn’t it be more fun with everyone doing it at the same time? We won’t be reblogging any work predating October 1st.
Q: Can I post late?
Yes. For the sake of our hardworking Post Fairies, only a day’s themes will be reblogged to @whumptober-archive each day of October. But you can post whenever. Some of us are still working on and posting Whumptober fics from years ago.
Q: Do I have to use your tags?
Only on Tumblr and only if you want us to reblog your work on @whumptober-archive.
Q: How do I have my works reblogged to the archive?
Properly tagged posts will be reblogged to @whumptober-archive. If you want the official archive blog to reblog you, post on Tumblr and tag correctly (see this FAQ link for more info on tagging). Please note not all posts will be reblogged each day.
Q: Can we @ you?
For questions and comments, of course. We’ll be getting a flood of notifications, so if you really want us to see something send an ask.
Q: Can I cross post on other blogs?
Yes, multiple platforms and blogs are perfectly acceptable, as long as they allow cross-posting (to us). You can also post different works to different accounts under different names, without posting them everywhere at once. If you post some works under your main and others under an alt blog, that’s fine for completionist purposes.
Q: Can I upload/repost my Whumptober content to other social media platforms?
Of course! We’ve created an AO3 Collection to archive any fics posted there, which can be found here. The blog is the official archive, so please respect the personal boundaries of any whumpers in your social circle (don’t out anyone as a participant who would prefer not to be outed).
Most importantly, have fun, create, and enjoy all the whump posted this October!
“He” was a rational teacher that you looked up to…or at least he was. There was a dark classroom that one must never set foot into.
In there are extremely dangerous special lessons with the teachers. When you realize the true forms of the teachers…. will you be able to handle it?

I got possessed by my own Mikoto brainrot and stayed up until 5 am translating this, so here you go 😂😅 I apologize in advance for any potential mistakes, my Japanese is far from perfect agdhsvdbs
⬇️ translation under the cut ⬇️
M: (sighs) What am I doing in a place like this…?
E: Yeah, I wonder.
M: Woah!
E: Well, figuring that out is Milgram's task anyway.
M: Come on, don't startle me like that, Warden-kun…! Isn't it basic manners to knock on the door before you enter?
E: Shut up. Don't talk back.
M: You're always so bossy...!
E: (sigh) We're going to start your interrogation, inmate no.9, Mikoto.
M: No, no– you might be saying "interrogation", but I already told you, there's not really anything I'm hiding.
E: Your name and age?
M: Uh… Mikoto Kayano, 23. Wait, no! I've been wanting to talk to you this whole time, Warden-kun!
E: What is it? Make it short.
M: Alright… when is this whole thing going to end?
E: Hah?
M: No, it's obvious, isn't it?! Suddenly being dragged to a place like this, being told all this weird stuff about killers and all that– is this some kind of comedy? A reality TV show? One of those monitoring things? I've been holding on to that thought this whole time, and that was also the reason I tried to get along with the others, y'know – because that'll look better on a TV show, right?! – but look, this is stretching out for way too long…! What's up with this?
E: (sigh) You really still believe that? That Milgram is some kind of joke?
M: I do! Of course I do! I mean… I really don't remember. Even if you talk about sins or murderers– I don't know about any of that! I'm just a normal worker at a company…
E: Hmm…
M: What? Why are you smiling like that when someone's just having an honest conversation with you?
E: (huff) Now that I think about it… this is the first time I see an inmate who acts like they have no memory of what they've done.
M: it's not an act! Seriously! I seriously don't know! See? Look into my eyes! See?!
E: Don't touch me like we're friends.
M: No, really, just properly look at me!
E: (sigh) Hmm~
M: So? I'm telling the truth, right?
E: Like I know. Did you expect me to say something like "if you were lying, you wouldn't be able to meet my eyes"? My judgement of you doesn't rely on naïve ideas like that.
M: Ugh, c'mon…! (pause) Hm? No, wait a sec. Even you don't actually know what I've done, right?
E: Yeah, I have no clue.
M: What's with that?! Aren't you getting ahead of yourself then, just labelling me a murderer like that?
E: I'm not. Milgram tells me that you did it. That's enough for me.
M: Why are you just blindly believing that? There's no way of talking(/getting through) to you…! (sigh) Anyway. I really don't know anything! Nor have I killed anybody, or done anything bad! I was just living an ordinary, everyday life… and yet I got dragged into something this weird! (slamd hands on the desk) Of course I want to think of all this as a joke…! Wouldn't anyone?
E: (noncommittal hum)
M: I have my own life, you know? And I just got accepted into the company that I was aiming for… If I get fired, you'll have to take responsibility for that.
E: I see. Interesting.
M: Is that something you should find 'interesting'?!
E: (clap) Fine. I'll humor you and your view on things – all of this is just an experiment. Mikoto, you have done nothing wrong.
M: Yeah! That's exactly it, Warden-kun!
E: Just for now. For now, let's not think of you as inmate no.9 Mikoto, but… let's see… yeah, just as Mikoto-kun.
M: I like that! Let's go with Mikoto-kun! I'll also act more familiar with you by calling you Suu-kun– (?? probably as a short form of "Esu" 😂)
E: No, thank you. Don't get cocky.
M: Eh–
E: In return for my going along with you, accept every one of my words as the truth. Milgram is not a show of any kind, it is reality.
M: Mhh… like… the stuff about this being a facility full of killers and all that? And about their crimes being showcased through songs and videos?
E: Exactly. Following what you said, everyone here other than you has committed murder.
M: Being locked up in a place like that sounds too awful…! None of the others really look the part, either. Listen, there's even a primary schooler here.
E: (sigh) You'll be better off not saying that to Amane's face. That'd turn into trouble.
M: Huh? Why?
E: Well. It's not like I don't get what you mean. I'm stunned too, doing these interrogations. Your impressions of people can really pull you along. (???)
M: See? Like, Yun-chan and Mucchan are just highschool girls, Haru-kun looks like someone who can't hurt a fly, and Futa just acts worse than he really is, right? Then there's Mappi, who is just a nice person– well, and well… Kazu-san and Shidou-san and… Koto-chan do kind of seem like they could do some bad things, I guess.
E: (sigh) Those are your personal impressions, Mikoto-kun. But those are the people that Milgram chose. They've all without a doubt been involved in someone else's death.
M: Hmm… well… Okay, fine. I'll believe it for now.
E: Alright, then. For someone innocent like Mikoto-kun to be chosen as well… what do you think could've been the reason for that?
M: Uhm… they got the wrong person.
E: Oh?
M: I can't imagine that they know the details of what we look like. Mistaking me for someone in terms of gender or clothing style... something along those lines.
E: So Milgram made a mistake, is what you're suggesting?
M: Yeah, exactly. There's no other option that I can think of.
E: Is that so? I have another idea. You have forgotten that you've killed someone.
M: ...Huh? 'Forgotten'? About killing someone? Is that even a thing?
E: You're not lying. Milgram is always right. If both of those statements are true, it's only natural to arrive at that conclusion, isn't it?
M: Forgotten? Me…? About killing someone?
E: To get rid of [psychological] stress, humans may repress certain memories as a coping mechanism. It's not unheard of.
M: S-stress? (laugh) No, no. (heavy breathing) Killing someone without even knowing it… there's no way…!
E: If I believe you, there's no other logical conclusion, since I still prioritize my faith in Milgram over your statements. There is no way I would question that.
M: No… no, no…!
E: As the warden, my judgement is... that you are a murderer.
M: No way, no way–! My head, my head– I'll go crazy! (T/N: the standard phrase would be "atama ga okashiku naru" but he shortens "atama" (lit. "head") to "tama", not sure what's up with that) Stop it! (scratches head(?)) Saying all those awful things…!
E: (sigh)
M: Becoming a murderer… without even knowing it…? There's no way, no way…
E: Let's give it some time. The threads of your memory might untangle themselves eventually.
M: (gasping / choking(?) for air)
E: A murderer without memory of killing… in which case, how should I think of you… Hey, Mikoto–
M: (screaming)
(Mikoto starts to attack Es)
E: What is–? Mikoto?
M: (heavy breathing/growling)
E: (cough) You… attacked me…? No way… That can't be…
M: (more heavy breaths) Fuck… Fuck…! Stop pissing me off!
E: There should be no way– for a prisoner to attack me–!
M: Shut your mouth!
E: (gasp)
M: You keep blabbering on and on… I'm gonna fucking kill you, you piece of shit!
(he continues to hit them)
M: Going on, and on, and on… all high and mighty… like you aren't just a kid! Serves you fucking right!
E: ...emember...
M: Huh? I can't hear you. You're no more than an unimportant brat.
E: Remember… your murder…!
M: Huh?! (laughter) You prefer it when it hurts more, huh? (Es gasps) That's fine. I'll beat you up all you want.
(Mikoto and Kotoko proceed to throw punches at each other for a while)
M: Don't fucking mess around with me…!
K: Your technique is definitely that of an amateur… (?? she adds something about his amount of muscle / how he uses it)
M: Annoying… you're annoying…! Argh…!
K: I could be saying the same.
(they continue, Kotoko eventually knocks Mikoto out)
E: Knocked him out… with one hit…?
K: Be grateful to me. You got banged up pretty badly as is. Are you okay, Warden-san?
E: (cough) Kotoko… you…
K: What?
E: Did you… sneak in before the interrogation…?
K: Huh? You don't intend to accuse me of anything, do you? If I hadn't intervened, you would've ended up dead.
E: Why… were you in the interrogation room…?
K: I've already noticed Mikoto Kayano's weird behavior a while ago, and since I'm in the room right next to his, I kept an eye on him.
E: Why did you save me…?
K: Because your existence is helpful to me.
E: That's… not an explanation…
K: I guess you're right. I'll be answering that question when it's my turn.
E: Damn it… Mikoto… Suddenly lashing out like that…
K: Warden-san, look over here.
E: What is it now, Kotoko–?
(Kotoko "tries" to punch them, but her hit gets blocked by the usual barrier)
K: The hit got blocked mid-air… So it's true that inmates can't attack you. Then why was Mikoto Kayano able to hit you…?
E: …This is bad for my heart. Stop it. Besides, that's what I'd like to know as well…
(bell rings)
E: It's time… Get out, Kotoko.
K: The song extraction thing, huh. Are you trying to say that's something I'm not allowed to see?
E: I won't acknowledge it. Get out.
K: Hmm. Either way, this has become interesting, hasn't it?
E: Kotoko…
K: You've realized it too, haven't you? Based on this confrontation, it's likely that Mikoto Kayano has dissociative identity disorder, or in other words, a split personality. Well, of course there's also the possibility that he's just putting on an act... What do you think? I've never met anyone like that in real life, but if he really does have a dual personality, should he be punished for crimes that were committed by his other side–?
E: Kotoko!! It's my job to consider that, not the prisoners'… not yours…! Only myself and Milgram have the right to… finding out what the truth is… and what their crimes are!
K: (giggle) Yeah, yeah. Alright, I'll be leaving it to you. See you.
E: ...Hey.
K: What?
E: Thank you… for saving me.
K: You're welcome.
(Kotoko leaves)
E: (sigh) There's so much that I don't get about this yet, but… I'll have to do my job anyway.
(they walk over and smack Mikoto(??))
M: Ow! What– what are you doing, Warden-kun?? When did you– Argh, my head hurts…
E: i bet it does.
M: Ugh… Wait! You're covered in bruises too! What's wrong? What happened?
E: You really… don't remember anything, huh?
M: Huh? What…? What are you talking about?
E: You're acting so clueless it still makes my blood boil… But it's fine. I've acknowledged your attitude now. Although I may not know if that attitude is actually yours… or someone else's.

“You compare yourself to roses a lot, Asmo. I wonder...what kind of flower do you think I’m like?”
Asmo tapped a finger on his chin, humming in thought. “I suppose I think of you like a dandelion.”
“Oh,” you murmured, doing your best to keep from deflating. Weren’t those commonly thought of as nuisance weeds? “A dandelion? Why’s that?”
His finger stilled, resting on the side of his jaw. “Why, it’s because you’re incredible, love! You’re bright, cheery, warm, and never let anything get you down. Then, when one gets to know you better…” He moved his hand to caress your cheek with a brush of his knuckles, the look in his eyes leaving you feeling warm with the affection openly shining from them. “You absolutely bloom. Beautiful. Delicate. Soft. Hopeful. People place their wishes on you for a better world.” He leaned closer to press a gentle kiss to the tip of your nose. “All the wishes I could ever make have been fulfilled because of you.”

Before your wandering hand can reach his wolf-like ears, Lucifer grasps your wrist, a smirk curving his lips. Even though he’s a literal predator now, he’s always had a predatory gleam in his eyes, one you can see clearly as he leans in toward you.
“Your pulse is racing,” he murmurs, and the blunt way he points it out causes your face to flush. It’s so difficult to not be flustered by him, even now.
“It doesn’t take wolf instincts to know that,” you shoot back, tugging your wrist from his grip.
“True. However, I can tell that you want something from me. You’re excited; your blood is practically pounding in your veins, and even your eyes seem slightly dilated. It’s easier to detect subtle changes in this form.”
“You could already read me like a book,” you insist, your face heating up even more. There’s something about the way he’s looking at you that’s making your heart pound... It makes you feel like prey, like he could pounce on you at any moment. Honestly, the anticipation is something you’re discovering you like. “So, tell me what I want from you.”
“The same thing I want from you.”
That smirk hasn’t left his lips. For a non-answer, he’s spot-on; you know he wants to touch you, to put his heightened senses to the test and see what draws what reaction. What you want right now, however, is a bit more innocent.
“Okay then. I’ll go first,” you return, reaching toward him again. He quirks a brow, but doesn’t halt your hand’s progress this time, and your fingertips graze the side of his ear. The fur is soft on the inner part, with a coarse layer on the outer portion, and they twitch beneath your touch. They’re interesting, but what really has your attention is his tail.
His smirk has faded slightly, but his attention is still riveted to you as you move your exploration to the fluffy wolf tail that remains still behind him. His expression is more guarded now, but he doesn’t move to stop you as you stroke the fur gently. It isn’t as soft as Belphie’s, but it’s still fluffier than most of the other tails, and you enjoy petting it.
Suddenly, it jerks from your grasp, and you think for a moment that you hurt him. One quick glance up at Lucifer, however, reveals a light blush to his features, and that he isn’t quite meeting your gaze.
His tail is still moving back and forth. Realization dawns, and you grin. “Are you wagging your tail, Lucifer?”
“Be quiet.” His words lack any actual bite. “Do you realize how hard it’s been to keep it from wagging? It has a mind of its own.”
“I think you’re just happy, and your tail is showing that,” you claim, reaching up again to give an ear a pet. Lucifer finally looks at you again, his hands coming up to rest at your waist.
“You should already know that I’m always happy when you’re near me.”
Mammon
“You’re starin’.”
There’s a blush across Mammon’s face as he side-eyes you, and you snap back to reality. Yes, you had been staring at Mammon’s new features, but you just couldn’t help it.
“Your ears and tail keep moving,” you point out, and he crosses his arms, blushing harder.
“I-it’s not like I’m doin’ it on purpose! They won’t stop!”
“Maybe it’s because you’re happy?” you tease, trying to get him to turn an even brighter red. He’s always been so easy to fluster.
“W-well, yeah... Yeah, you could say that. But if they’re gonna move every time I’m happy, this crap’s gonna get annoyin’ fast.”
With a grin, you reach out and touch one of his tiger ears, and Mammon’s attention snaps to you. “What’re ya-- Oh.” His voice trails when you gently scratch behind his ear, and you quirk an eyebrow. The thin tiger tail flicks behind him.
“Does that feel good?” you inquire, trying to read his expression. He’s still so flustered, torn between dismissively lying or being honest, but you’re at the point in your relationship where the latter often wins.
“Y-yeah...” There’s a growl to his voice that you haven’t heard since he first changed and ran off to avoid devouring you. He clears his throat, trying to rid himself of it, even though you find it pretty hot. “Dammit, I feel weird sayin’ that. This whole animal thing’s weird, even for us.”
Your fingers hesitate. “Should I stop?”
“No!” He cuts in a little too quickly, and then closes his eyes, taking in a deep breath. “I mean... you seem like you’re enjoyin’ yourself. So ya don’t gotta stop.”
“Okay, then.” You keep rubbing his ears, and your smile grows as he leans into your touch, tilting his head toward your fingers. His tail flicks toward you, hitting against your thigh, and you reach down with your free hand to stroke it. Mammon keeps his eyes closed to avoid the embarrassment, though his tail continues to flick away, and his ears move beneath your fingers.
You have to admit, you like him in this form, and you’re glad it’s going to last another week. Even if he still has trouble admitting his feelings sometimes, these new features make it difficult for him to hide them.
Plus, you really like petting him.
Satan
The cat of Wrath may just be sitting next to you on the couch, reading a book, but you can’t stop wistfully looking at his cat ears. It’s fitting that he would change into a cat, you can’t help but think, especially considering his contact picture in your phone is a selfie of him with a cat ears and whiskers filter overlay.
“Do you want to touch them?”
Startled from your thoughts, your gaze drops to Satan’s face, but he’s still looking at his book. “I can feel your eyes on my ears. You can touch them if you want.”
“Really?” you blurt, scooting closer on the couch.
“Of course.” He sets the book down on his lap and turns toward you, a smirk suddenly crossing his lips. “But I can’t say I won’t touch back.”
Just like that, he cups your cheek, fingers cradling your jawline to tilt your head back. You can feel your face reddening, and you realize his expression is the very picture of the cat who caught the canary. “We’re in the living room,” you point out, causing him to shrug.
“Yes, and?”
“And we’re not going to play cat and mouse in the living room,” you return, reaching up to pet affectionately pet his ear.
“Cat and mouse? Is that what you-- ah...” His eyes flutter closed, and he leans into your touch. “Actually... keep doing that.”
Just like that, Satan abandons his need to tease you, fingers slowly falling from your cheek, and he instead moves to curl up on the couch next to you, his head pillowed on your thigh. It’s a rare moment -- you don’t think he’s ever laid down with his head in your lap before -- but it’s easy to comply to his request and continue scratching behind his ears. They flick against your hand, the short fur tickling your palm, and you notice his tail curl around his waist.
After a moment, you can feel Satan’s chest vibrating, and his hands are moving against the couch cushion. He’s purring, actually purring! But that’s not all.
“Are you making biscuits?” you blurt, unable to keep the laughter out of your voice.
“What? For breakfast?”
“Nevermind.”
You keep petting, and the purring starts up again.
Beel
“Are you scared of me?”
Your eyes widen at Beel’s somewhat timid query, and you shake your head. “I’d never be scared of you.”
Beel’s eyes have a sad glaze as he frowns. “That’s not true. You looked scared when you ran away in the dining room, and that’s okay. I was scared of myself, honestly.”
Reaching out, you touch Beel’s arm and catch his gaze. “Okay, that was a little scary because I didn’t know what was happening. But, I’m not scared of you right now. I know you would never really hurt me.”
He doesn’t look reassured, but he shakes his head, swallowing back whatever is on his mind. “All right. Then why do you keep staring at me?”
“Oh, that? Because you look cute like this... and I really want to touch your ears and tail,” you admit with a sheepish smile. “They’re cute.”
“Oh. Is that all?” A relieved smile washes over his features, and he leans down, giving you better access to his ears. “Go ahead. I don’t mind.”
Grinning excitedly, you reach up and pet his ears, feeling them twitch beneath your touch. “That kinda tickles,” Beel says with a light chuckle, and his tail swishes closer to you. You turn your attention to it next, your palm stroking along it to the darker, bushy end. The fur there is fluffy and soft, and as Beel watches you pet it, all traces of his previous apprehension disappear.
“You look like you’re having fun. I’m glad.”
“I’m always having fun when I’m with you, Beel,” you reply, beaming up at him. His smile is gentle as he reaches up and pats your head, petting you just as you pet him.
“Oi! hang in there-! C'mon, stay with me! Don’t you die!”
