Honestly you probably had to confess to him at least thirty different times before he even considered it
Not because he wasn't interested, but because of his family and their rules
If you/your oc are/is a human, he'd be even more reluctant because of a cErTaIn SoMeOnE cough narnia cough
He'd insist on keeping things as private as possible and would never let you attend any big events like Deviculums alone, even if he had to send someone else with you, he simply cannot allow that
Especially after the Deviculum incident
If you want to go out in public, expect him to act crankier than usual just so no one thinks anything is up
While he does feel bad about keeping your relationship hidden, he does try to make it up to you by being a bit softer during your private moments
He would never gift you flowers, but only because he'd gift you cacti instead
None of his own, of course
He makes sure you're educated on the proper care for cacti before he buys you your first one
He is not one for physical touch, but you might get by with hand holding while he listens to music, or putting your head in/sitting in his lap while he's reading, though the latter is less likely to happen
He does like it when you lean your head on his shoulder though
HATES letting you see him in his fluffego form because honestly? He's embarrassed that you find him cute like that, and he can't stand the thought of letting you pet his supposedly otherworldly soft fur
Will PROTEST to doing anything with Opera nearby, never visits the Sullivan estate while Opera is there
Lowkey a little bit of a romantic though if you think about it
In quiet moments, he might recite a poem to you but "It's in this book and I simply thought it was pleasant," or "I just thought you'd like to hear it."
A.K.A. Tsundere behavior
If for any reason you spend the night at his home, he'd make tea for the two of you and just not say anything about it
Secretly likes his hair being brushed
※ Balam Shichirou
He's just a darling
A sweetheart
Doting and caring, but he tries not to be overbearing
Heh, that rhymes
I like to think that demons don't have the same kind of "rituals" that humans have for relationships, so they don't really think to go on dates or anything like that
But Balam does the next best thing and takes you out on picnics every now and then
Probably to somewhere that's more and more breathtaking every time
If you're human, he'd worry about you going into public alone, or really doing much of anything alone
If you're human, he'd also take you to places you haven't seen or want to see in the Netherworld
We know he's a big-time toucher, can't keep his grippers to himself, but he LOVES it when or if you share his skinship
If you constantly find your hand resting in his, or on his arm, or if you naturally gravitate to sit on his lap he just turns into a giant mold of jello
He also particularly loves it when you play with his hair
Braid it, brush it, put flowers in it, he doesn't care
Give him little bows for hairclips and some space buns. Make him kawaii, he'll love it no matter what
He'd bring you little gifts like flowers that all have different meanings, and that can be useful even after they've wilted
They can be dried and used for various things, teas, spices, medicines, you name it
Oh, but he's definitely going to help you figure them all out, so you don't get anything mixed up
If you're human, he'd love it if you were to teach him about your language and culture, and just yap about the differences between Netherworld creatures and Human Realm animals
You cannot escape his nesting habits
Even if you get him to sleep on a normal bed, he still sleeps like Big Bird
You could indulge him in many ways like this; use his legs as a pillow and lay in front of him, curl up between his legs, or sit on his thigh and let him curl around you
He also likes it if you find fascination in his wings and touch them
※ Opera
Opera would be a loving little shit
They would be so happy to be with you that they'd always give you a smile when you're around, only to turn back around to Sullivan and (ㆆ_ㆆ) at him again
Please let them make food and tea for you, it makes their little kitty heart so happy
I feel like they wouldn't be very fond of cuddles to a certain point
They don't particularly seem to care about their gender, but I feel like they'd like it to remain a mystery
Hugs from the front and hugs from the back, side, you name it, are fine, but anything that might require being a little too close they might refuse
They do love to wrap their tail around you though
Sometimes they'll even poke your face or tickle your neck with the end of their tail if you're close enough
They also like to play harmless pranks on you
Like whoppie cushion kind of pranks, where it's just a moment of surprise and then laughter
They'd fall for you even more if you were to pull some harmless pranks randomly too
They'd pull a prank on you, and you'd call their name, they'd only respond with a "You know you love me," or a "Yes, my dear?" And it's game over
They don't have much time between their duties and other assignment to Bablys, but they'd love it if you were to just hang around in the rooms that they're working on or even help a bit, though they'd rather do the cleaning themselves
You'd have to beg to use Opera's kitchen, and they agree to let you cook or bake with them under the condition that you only do whatever they tell you to, especially if you're human
They have nightmares of the time Iruma and Amari tried to make cookies
They'd also do things like kiss you and then run off somewhere
※ Robin Bars
This little ball of energy has more love for you than what fits in his body
He doesn't let his small stature stop him from showering you with affection, oh no
If anything, he's more determined to show you that he can love you regardless
He'll climb up on you, or more likely just jump on you and cling to you like Clara to Sabnok and shower you with his affections and kisses
He likes to give you whatever gifts he thinks you'd like. A cool rock, a pretty bouquet, he'll even shoot an arrow into the wall next to you with a love letter on the tip of it
You bet this man is gonna show you off to big-sis Bachiko and the Chief. There is no escape
Not that you're really complaining
He also loves to cook for you, and while he usually only cooks veggie dishes, it's so good that you really can't complain
Both good for your taste buds and good for your health
At the end of the day, when he's all tuckered out, he goes into koala mode and just clings to you until he falls asleep
※ Orias Oswell
This motherfucker can either be the most charming man you've ever had the pleasure to be with, or he can be an equally as charming gaming gremlin who wraps you up on his lap with a blanket while he grinds away
When he has his ability activated, he's always got an arm around your waist or shoulder, and if he can't do that for some reason, he's holding your hand or touching you in some way
He's also gonna do his darndest to make you laugh, because by Devi does he love your laugh
He'd be the type to dip you in his arms just to see you get flustered
And then kiss you just to make sure you knew he loved you
He'd bring you flowers and gifts, and oh? Is that a gold ring in his pocket with 24k diamonds embedded in it? How lucky of him! He gives it to you
He's also such a flirt when his ability is active
He'd compliment you every chance he gets, and he'd pull no punches for any one liners he can hit you with
Bonus points for him if it makes you laugh
You might even earn a blush from him if you manage to hit him with a good one too
When his ability is off though, he asks that you forget he said ANY of those cheesy lines
Tell him no, he'll blush and hide his face with his hoodie
Pull it off and kiss him? You might have to pick him up off the floor, embarrassed asf
He's still utterly stupidly in love with you though so once he comes to his senses, you won't be able to escape the intense cuddle session he's about to start
I like to think that he's a lot more affectionate when his ability is off in the sense that he's down to do absolutely whatever you want to do
Play against him in a multiplayer game? You got it
Cuddle for four hours until you fall asleep? You betcha
Play with his hair and ask him to put on a dress? No but at least you got his hair done
I think he especially likes it when you cuddle up to him while he's playing games, whatever position you're in, as long as you're close, he's happy
Also, he'd call you his lucky charm or his little star
He won't say it as often when his ability is off, but he will say it in those quiet, heartfelt moments
I bet no matter his ability on or off, he likes to look at the stars with you, and if you happen to know about the stars in the Netherworld, he'd be all too happy to listen to information that he probably already knows
He'd particularly love kissing you in any manner under the stars, especially if the moons are visible, and his reason is because you look amazing under the light of the moon
※ Amuryllis Asmodeus
I'm running with the assumption that the father of Alice and his two little sisters is not in the picture, as I don't recall him being mentioned in the manga at all
Amu imo would probably like someone who can match her in strength at least, and I'm fairly sure she's Zayin (7) or Chet (8), maybe possibly even Tet (9) since she is one of the Thirteen Crowns
She would be just as lovey as she is with her children, and Iruma...
She'd honestly probably want someone who would cook for her too and help her do housework (if the family's security devil doesn't do it himself)
She'd love it if you made tea for her
And I'm gonna be honest, she would love some praise
I can't really see her being this cutesy lovey dovey "Oh don't leave me darling" type demon when she made a stray dog run with his tail between his legs if you know what I mean... cough narnia cough
Also, this is so unrelated, but Narnia is such a cool name, moving on
She'd be lovey dovey after you've earned it from her
She would like to relax with you. Maybe in a lavish bath or having a spa day
She'd like to be on the receiving end of gifts, but she'd be the one to set up most "dates" or outings as I feel demons would call them
She'd probably also call you something like Honey, or Sweetie, maybe even Sugar
Spoiler Warning ahead for Baal and Mephisto

※ Baal
First, idk why I put him in here, I've only thought about kissing his stupid face maybe four or five times?
But anyway, if he truly likes you, he'd be kind of a gentleman
Like opening doors for you or pulling out chairs for you
Bring you flowers every now and then and maybe chocolates or candies if he finds something interesting
He's kinda cocky though so I feel like at first your relationship is nearly one sided
Like he likes you he just doesn't like like you yet
Until that is that you blow his mind a few times by making him realize how boring and kinda lonely it is without you around
And when he realizes that he misses your voice and your face, and your occasional touch if you're so brave
He just realizes one day like 'Oh shit, I kinda do like them, don't I?'
And then he's all game
If you're leaving for the day/night and he won't see you till the next day or even some time later, he won't let you leave until he gets a kiss in on you
If he hears Atori and the other shits talk about you, he sends them a cold smile that makes 'em shut up real fast
Maybe I just like bad boys, I dunno, don't look at me
He's not super big on cuddling either, but he does like to hug you from behind, and when you're alone in his little throne room thing, he likes to have you sit on his lap like his evil little sidekick
Might even get you a little crown just for fun
I also have this weird thought that he's got an aesthetic running for him that he just simply does not want to drop, so if or when he gets you gifts, he gets you things like lightning-shaped jewelry and clothes that almost kinda maybe match his outfit that the has on
No, he doesn't want to match with you why in Hells would he wanna do that?
He loves matching couples items and you know because he gave you a gold lightning bolt bracelet and he mysteriously has a shiny new matching one on his wrist now
Also he likes putting his hand on your thigh if you're sitting with him on his throne
Makes him feel like you're not going anywhere
I bet he's also mayhaps just a bit insecure about your relationship, especially if you're more good-hearted because he does have evil plans that are being plotted and you're just along for the ride, so what if you ditch him after you find out what he's planning?
That's also another reason why he like his couples matching items, because it shows that you're his, or at least that you're in this together
He does the opposite though if you're not so pure-hearted and indulge in his plans, it just makes him fall harder
※ Mephisto
CLOWN
Not to the point where it's annoying but like, to the point where this newly appointed Thirteen Crown whose job is protect the Netherworld and help decide it's future is making you wonder why anyone chose him for the position
But affectionately
He's not exactly against PDA, he does like to wrap his arm around your shoulder or waist while in public, but he prefers to keep the more intimate things behind closed doors
If you're cool with it though, this clown will randomly leave big, wet kisses on your cheek and just carry on with his day
And surprise visits from him stop being surprises when you notice that he shows up literally every other day because he wants to see you
He's a big baby too
He wants to be the little spoon most of the time and he likes it more when you hold him, but he'll never say no to you sitting in his lap with his arms around your waist and his face buried in your hair or your neck
Yet at the same time I feel like he's the type to just randomly start tickling you too if you're just sitting there doing nothing but cuddling
I think he'd also be a bit of a gamer, but moreso board games
He'd fucking destroy you at Twister or Monopoly, even Trouble or Sorry, Parcheesi, you name it
He probably sucks at Uno though
Skip Bo too
OFF TRACK
He'd like to cook for you, but I don't think he can cook all that well
Like, certain dishes could be served at a six star restaurant, and others you wouldn't even feed to a hellhound
He's also the kind of clown to slurp noodles with you Lady and the Tramp style
He'd tell corny almost dad jokes randomly when you're alone
"Where do bad rainbows go?"
"Where?"
"To prisim. It's a light sentence, but it gives them time to reflect."
"... Oh my Devi-"
And he'd say it with a straight face too
He'd like to get a ring on your finger just because he thinks it'd look good
He bites
I think writing this has awoken me to the possibilities of Baal and Mephisto but I'm not certain I'd be able to handle having any more fictional men on my mind right now. I don't think it's healthy
What a sweet chapter 🥹❤️ It was so nice to see everybody's families and having fun together. Clara's family's genes are quite strong, they look like clones lol. And Azz being embarrassed by his mother, which... justified imo. Opera winning at every booth, I guess if you're Lord Sullivan's butler, you also need to be powerful!
Also this panel of Iruma and his family at the petting zoo made me lmao.
