The Brothers' Reactions to a Couple Photoshoot MC/You Had in College
Context: Whilst showing the brothers your old high school photos from years ago, you swiped upon a photo with you and an old classmate, being a little too close for their liking. You tried to explain that it was merely for na event since you were chosen as the muse/escort for it, but by the time you scrolled past to avoid the incoming barrage of questions and drama, the brothers were already attacking you with their critiques, questions and comments.
The pose you were in was as follows:
Person A: Standing with their head resting on top of Person B's head, left arm wrapped around Person B's waist.
Person B: Standing while leaning their head and resting their hand on Person A's chest.
(Your choice as to which one you'll imagine yourself/the MC as <3)
Part 1: The Brothers
TW: Jealousy, slight possessiveness, implied poly though it's not explicitly stated
Lucifer🦚
While he isn't one to openly show his jealousy, especially in front of his brothers, he couldn't help the slight tightening of his knuckles against the armrest of his seat.
Pray tell, MC, was it necessary to be so... in contact with that other human?
He swears it's because he's only curious, and that he doesn't find the lack of distance necessary. Totally not because he's jealous, totes. No the armrest of the couch isn't tearing, what are you on about?
(Sure Lucifer, and Lilith's alive (⌐■-■))
His pride obviously prevents him from freely expressing his jealousy, however, he'll be sure to call you to his office later on.
He's angry that you managed to stir these types of feelings inside him, take responsibility, MC (read: Coddle him tonight, pls, his pride's a fragile thing).
Somewhere deep inside though, he could feel his pride swelling at the though that his beloved human was chosen to be a representative of their former class. Like, duh, that's his human, of course they'll be more than fit for the role.
"While I'm glad that you seemed to enjoy yourself in your youth, I have to say that it's unnecessarily... Intimate, for a mere school event. That being said, I seem to recall an event that RAD will hold in the near future, do come to my office later when you're free, MC."
Mammon🐦⬛
Oh now who the fuck is this rando that's with HIS human?!
Mammon doesn't care about the fact that that's for a school event, nobody, NOBODY should act all chummy with his human.
(He better zip his mouth shut, or at least lower his voice because Lucifer is at his wit's end here.)
Mams was never good at hiding his jealousy, try as he might, but acting uncaring doesn't really suit him. Then again, he's the Avatar of Greed for a reason, y'know?
If Lucifer expressed the slightest disdain at the physical closeness, Mammon was having a full on meltdown. Why would you even let them touch you?! You should've called for him, he would've saved you!
(Man's acting as if you even knew of each others' existence at the time)
Immediately, he's clinging on to your arm, as if trying to erase the memory of the other person's touch.
And hey... He's a model, y'know? Surely the two of you can come up with much better photos, ones that he can sell for a pretty Grimm (penny) too!
"Oi! Why was that human so close to you, huh?! Grr, that photo looks trashy anyways, 't would be much better is you shot one with The Great Mammon instead! Wah?! No, I ain't callin' you ugly! Far from it! O-Oi, I ain't calling you a pretty face either!"
Leviathan🐍
He wasn't really paying too much attention at first, only doing so when the topic of conversation shifted to you and your past.
That was when he saw the photo.
Eugh, why is his Player 2 so close to a normie?
It's times like this that makes it obvious why Levi is the Avatar of Envy, he is both annoyed that someone is so close to his Player 2, but his self-deprication also gets increased tenfold.
Of course you'd look so good next to that other person, seeing as how they're much more confident and extroverted than he, a yucky, introverted, and anxious mess of an otaku, is :(.
He doesn't really do anything but scoff and let out a muttered comment of "Normies..." under his breath, the time you'll catch him withering away in his jealousy is when you head on over to his room (either later on or the next day).
When you do visit, what you would see is Levi in his demon form, tail swishing from side to side in irritation as he unleashed attack after attack on the boss of the game he was currently playing.
He would be way too distracted to notice you at first, so might (read: will absolutely) accidentally jumpscare him.
"Gah! I didn't realize you were there, MC! Huh? I'm f-fine... No the picture didn't bother me much, actually, not at all! I know you wouldn't bother with a yucky otaku like me anyways— E-Eh? It didn't mean anything? Really?"
Satan🦄
Satan won't say much, however, if you listened closely enough, you could hear the leather cover of the book he was reading creak from how tightly he was holding it.
While Satan is the best at regulating his emotions due to his everyday experience with his sin, it doesn't mean that he can suppress everything.
For real though, if looks could kill, your phone would've been reduced to smithereens. No, he's not chanting a spell to track down the other person you were with, what are you talking about?
I mean, if you were gonna be paired up with that other person, the least others could've done was to ensure that you and your partner had actual chemistry. It's like seeing the cover of a cliché romance book.
And yes, he knows that it was merely your responsibility as the chosen representative, but that doesn't make the sting of envy and wrath any lighter.
After a few minutes, he forced his gaze back down to his book, eyes reading the words without actually understanding them.
He pretends to be all composed and nonchalant in front of his brothers, however, he couldn't effectively hide the snarkiness in his voice.
"It's pitiful how they attempted to capture the chemistry between you and your... Partner. It's unbalanced, and the camera is visibly drawn to only you. No it's not a bad thing, it's quite literally the only thing that saved this photo."
Asmodeus🦂
He didn't even notice the other person at first tbh. Who can blame him? His MC is shining in that photo!
But when he did take notice of your fellow human, you swear you heard him let out a judgemental "hmm" that was enough to break the confidence of the most arrogant of humans, angels and demons alike.
Much like Mammon, Asmo immediately cling onto your side (though he might as well be sitting in your lap due to how much of your personal space he invaded), pouting in an exaggerated manner as he complained about the intensity of the lighting used.
Oh but your dear Asmo wouldn't allow such amateur mistakes to happen if you had a photoshoot with him!
So let's just forget about that person, yes? You have the literal Avatar of Lust, Asmodeus, former Jewel of the Heavens clinging onto your arm, willing to let you in on his skincare secrets and care for him in his hardest days, he's pretty sure you and him would look 100x better if you agreed to have a photoshoot of your own.
And he can make it waaaaay more... Intimate, y'know? Really showcase the closeness you have with each other (͡°‿ ͡°).
"My dear, MC, it's such a shame they couldn't fully capture your beauty! They made a mistake of partnering you up with a person that washes you out, you know? But I'm here to save that! Do come to my room later, yes? We could have our very own private photoshoot~"
Beelzebub🪰
Beel was initially paying attention to you and your stories, even commenting on some of them, though he mostly watched and smiled at your expressions.
But then he got preoccupied with the human word cheeseburger that he was eating, until his twin telepathy thing with Belphie alerted him to his twin brother's jealousy.
When he followed Belphie's gaze to your phone was when he saw the photo.
He let out that "hm" sound he unconsciously does when he's bothered by something, usually his hunger, but now it was because of that slight, unpleasant tug at his heart.
Though Beel, being the wholesome creature that he is, asked about what you were feeling first. Were you comfortable? Nobody forced you to do that, yes?
Once assured, that's when he pouts and sets his food down, leaning closer to your space.
He's glad you weren't unhappy, but part of him is also sad that somebody else, other than his family, is so close to you. He hates feeling jealous, especially since he trusts you so much, but he can't help it when you looked so relaxed with that other person, seemingly comfortable being in such close proximity with them.
"Who's that person with you, MC? Were you comfortable there? Well, I'm happy you are, but it makes me feel this ugly feeling inside seeing how close you are together. Can we eat together later so this feeling will stop, MC? You can come to me and Belphie's room."
Belphegor🐄
"Why in Diavolo's name is it suddenly so noisy?" Was Belphie's first thought when he peeked his left eye open, only to be blinded by your phone screen that displayed the unpleasant photo.
Hey, why is that disgusting human so close to you, eh? You know Belphie doesn't like to share ಠ ೧ ಠ (brat).
He was napping with his head on your lap, and though he looked like he could literally be anywhere else, he chose not to in favor of listening to your voice, letting that lull him to a peaceful slumber. Or what was supposed to be a peaceful slumber until Mammon woke him up by screaming so loud.
It's obvious that Belphie's upset, it's clear from the scowl (one that looked more like a pout than anything) on his face and the furrow on his brow.
Stupid humans, getting way too comfortable with his nap buddy.
Great, now he, Avatar of Sloth by the way, can't sleep because of how irritated he is.
(Don't make the mistake of mentioning the name of your partner, Belphie won't hesitate to give them nightmares for a whole ass century if he finds out).
MC, make it up to him by cuddling with him later, go to he and Beel's room as his twin suggested. It's only right after the emotional turmoil you put him through.
"Mammon, quit shouting will you? What are you even yelling for— Oh... Oh, so that's how it is. You're gonna let a random human get close to you? Photoshoot my ass... Make it up to me with cuddles for a week, m'kay? And yeah, whatever Beel said, go to our room later
(づ￣ ³￣)づ
AN: I hope you enjoyed this hc! It's my first writing, so there might be some mistakes, though I hope I captured the essence of the brothers well. Part 2 is a WIP as of now, so stay tuned!
