lucifer, mammon, leviathan ver.
SATAN
He is not one to care too deeply about your race when he is himself in a dilemma about his own. At least that's what he tells himself. His own identity is such an eyesore for him that remembering that you will be looked down upon even if unconsciously, especially by Lucifer, makes him blind with rage.
He will never accept that Lucifer's opinion matters to him in the slightest. Deep down, he wants to show Lucifer how capable he is by having a partner who even Lucifer had to grudgingly respect. You can be the best sorcerer in the world and your mortality and other 'shortcomings' that follow you because of your humanity will make Satan avoid you. He is always silently staring at you, always calculating the pros and cons of being with you.
He never approaches you but that doesn't mean anybody else can have you. He is forever there in the background, as a friend, as your support, always finding an excuse to talk to you or make you come approach him. He is your first choice for everything because he is so competent and unassumingly obliging.
If you ever develop a crush on someone, they mysteriously disappear. If there are rumors about someone wanting to confess to you, they start looking distracted and gone starting the next day. It's all so weird that you stay away from any sort of romance. You are alienated in a sense; with the only friends you have remaining being the brothers. Even among them, you can sense that Satan understands you the best and gives you the best advice during these tough times.
Satan's anger, however, doesn't vanish so easily. He looks at you and the longing for you gets twisted in blame and a sense of betrayal.
You are capable and fierce and oh so worthy... for a human.
For a human.
A human.
Human.
Why did you have to be human?
ASMODEUS
As long as you are drop dead gorgeous, this demon could care less. Again, you are breathtaking! He is complimenting you all the time and expecting you to say the same. In time, he realises that you are the only one he will shower with an abundance of words besides himself.
He loves to see himself reflected in your eyes, the smile that he brings out that goes so well with the jewelry that he gets you. Soon, you are clad from head to toe in his gifts. He loves seeing you like that.
It's like he is marking you. You are like an extension of him. That is what it means for him to love. He cares for you like a more fragile version of himself, always being tender and touchy with you. For a demon as insecure as him, he needs your validation. Tell him that no matter how beautiful he thinks you are, he is more so. Drown him in compliments that could never match his level of 'wow'.
He does not stand anyone else being around you. He is forever hovering nearby, smiling and touching you, playing with you so intimately that nobody dares come near. You are his. The others see it. Even the brothers have learned to let him have you.
"[Name] dearie, you shouldn't go near those vicious looking demons at all! They could be soooo dangerous~ Why don't we have a self-care day to forget about them? Isn't that more fun?"
Omg I was thinking abt how the OB boys would be with an MC that has a beautiful voice. Like Lucifer would never admit hoe much he loves hearing them sing, Mammon would ask them to have a little concert so he can charge people even tho he thinks no one else deserves to hear their voice. Levi would want them to repeat his favorite characters voice lines, or the way Satan would love sharing them read books and how Asmo could sit and listen to them talk for hours. Ofc Belphie would want them to sing him to sleep and Beel would always invite them to his workouts, because sometimes he gets lucky and MC sings along to his music (he purposely plays songs he knows they like for that reason)
ohmigod buddy, you are so right! I especially love the mammon one for some reason. TvT LUCIFER IS A PIECE OF SHIT, ISN'T HE?! i would flirt with levi till he passes out XD. as someone who loves to read, i love the satan one ;-; asmo, yaassshhh let's get the gossip going. he definitely wants to become an idol with mc. he also starts a channel called "the voice of the devildom" or something where they ulpoad music videos. it's pro level. ah another day of belphie getting an excuse to be closer to mc ;) beel also loves it when you sing after he finishes eating. it's sweet.
mc would ace seductive speechcraft like a breeze if they have the confidence to say flirty lines-
The first time he catches you singing, he hides his presence and gets lost in your melody. That is when he decides that your voice must be his alone.
“Hmm. Why would you stop? Did I give you the permission to do so?”
Unbeknowst to you, he sometimes hums the songs that you are fond of singing when presumably alone. He never admits that he actually enjoys those. He lets on that it’s all his scheme to make your life miserable.
SIMEON
That sounds like the call of the divine, the voice of the angels! What lovely music it is to the ears!
“[Name], could you say the prayers today too? After all, your voice seems to be formed for this reason...”
Whenever he faces a writer’s block or feels frustrated in general, he asks you to read to him. Your voice has a quality that helps him visualise better. If you read any of his recent works, you will find how he writes about prophecies in enchanting voices, sirens calling out to bewitch angels or even a whisper in the dark. Your voice calls out to him in more ways than one.
DIAVOLO
What beautiful voice you possess! After this discovery, he decides to update his schedule to include an hour of you singing human world songs. Daily. What can be better than experiencing human world culture by enjoying the voice of his love?
He is enthusiastic about holding festivals and nudges, almost subtly forces, you to sing in those. After all, the entire Devildom must witness your talents and realise how amazing the various realms are. What potential healthy bonds can hold!
BARBATOS
Your voice reminds him of the soothing aroma of fresh tea. Even though the word ‘cunning’ perfectly suits Barbatos, he feels that you have a better claim to that title. You would speak innocently yet the words would pierce hearts. The moment you open your mouth in Seductive Speechcraft, even the Young Master is charmed.
Barbatos notices and knows that you do not have any ulterior motive but he can’t help but try to be on his guard and... ultimately fails. You are so cunning, aren’t you? Cunning and clueless... The things that you do to those around you and him. Can’t you see?
He has found that your voice helps his spirits to an extent where his efficiency improves too. How can he let you go after that? You will indulge him, won’t you?

LUCIFER
It would have amused him had the actors in this ridiculous play been different. But he is neither a fool nor a procrastinator so he accepts the fact readily with his usual calmness. It seems that he is interested in you, a mere human, but also Lord Diavolo’s choice for the exchange programme. He needs to play his next move cautiously.
When you become entangled with a nasty rumour, you approach Lucifer. Since the start, he has been the one to provide assistance to you unbidden so he seemed like the best choice. After getting his advice, you ponder the best course of action and carry out the execution. He watches you closely with amusement.
Diavolo praises the way you handle the situation. Lucifer announces indignantly that if anybody messes with you, he will deal with them personally. Everybody believes that you share a special bond with Lucifer because of the additional edge to his speech, the glare and the sadistic promise of pain in his smirk.
It is like Lucifer to kill several birds with one bullet. Now he knows that you are worthy of his thoughts, given your intelligent reaction. You must think a little better of him owing to his help. The others will leave you alone. And he has an excuse to stay closer to you for at least a fortnight. He will stick close and keep testing your competence. It’s no joke that the Avatar of Pride has taken a fancy to you, more so when he expected to never feel this way for anyone.
MAMMON
He knows quite well that his greed is not restricted to materialistic items only. So when he starts obsessing over you, he freaks out dramatically, gambles all his money away, gets beaten up by moneylenders because of his carelessness and when you patch him up and smile, he finally accepts that the human ain’t too bad. Given the bad treatment he had been subjected to, he wasn't expecting to fall in love but then you came along and now you are all that goes through his mind.
He is very non judgmental so he doesn't care that you are a human. However, he thinks that associating with a demon may get you enemies. He tries to distance himself in the beginning but being someone who has difficulty denying his urges, he ends up giving you the special treatment. From the dark.
He thinks of the best gift ideas and executes them flawlessly without revealing his identity. Good fortune seems to follow you these days. The only reason for suspicion is his behavior. He goes overboard with the tsundere act, so that now it feels stifling and hurtful. Every time you get a present from this “secret admirer”, you notice how he acts more supreme and offensive with the “I am the Great Mammon and you are only a puny human”. His bullying reaches an all time high, cutting you deep and scarring you, as the pace of the gifts catch up like a rope tightening around your throat.
LEVIATHAN
Eh? EHH?? No no, this can’t be happening! What is this era of cringe where he feels obsessed with a 3D character?! You must be an anomaly in the system! How can you just come along so casually and shatter his hope of staying single forever? He was quite content with his waifus and husbandos! They don’t expect anything in return and he knew that it was impossible for him to end with them! Life was simple! Oh now he is overthinking and gulping down energy drinks and dreaming about how wonderful you are!
He isn’t really bothered about the mortal part since he has watched enough anime to know that demons fall for humans all the time! Key information about upcoming cosplay conventions keeps slipping from his mind like his sanity! It is the end of Leviachan, OMG he needs to worship the anime gods for mercy.
Now instead of bingeing his favourite anime, he is watching you sleep at 3 in the morning through the cameras he installed in your room without your permission. He can't forgive you. Before your arrival, he was a dedicated albeit a gross, yucky otaku but now he is a normie who is thinking about puke-inducing lovey-dovey stuff like holding hands and going on a date! What a downfall for the Lord of Shadows! You must take responsibility and help him get his passion back. He can’t lose the Levi that has lived till now just because of you. He must have you right in front of his eyes so that he can go back to focusing on anime rather than watching your every move. You make him so unhappy by talking to those other demons. He can’t even sleep at night. You are terrible, you know that? Stay close and he won’t hold a grudge. He will be sweet like all those normies in love with fake promises at the tip of their tongues.
You're flirting with him, aren't you? He has throttled you, and watched the life drain away from your eyes while he laughed like the maniac he truly is. That must have been the reason you're so in love with him. Why else would you cuddle into his arms, get cozy and read about a deranged character who's hell bent on showing affection by extreme violence. You must be aware of his eyes on the back of your neck. You must be painfully conscious of the hand that runs down your spine, leaving a trail of goosebumps on your skin. Belphegor knows how to offer you the love you apparently desire. His love kills till his lover is dead at his feet. Are you ready for the toxic love he wishes to mark you with, charming dove? He just needed a reason to show his real self, and even though he's not sure what you want, he has made up his mind to get you with a soft smile and unhinged methods. Just the way he had plotted your murder.
DIAVOLO
Well, human beings must be more violent than he gave them credit for. Why else would bloodshed and manipulation ― the domain of demons ― be attractive to them? Can it be your way of hinting Diavolo that you wish to be his mate? If you're interested in demons, wouldn't the prince be the ideal partner for your strange tastes? Since you read about monsters who'd make many demons proud, wouldn't you want an insight in the mind of the most cunning of them all? Diavolo is perfect for you, and let him convince you of the fact after you're clad in gold and diamonds, your hands chained to his by a bond of love, otherwise called his binding magic. He won't be letting you go anytime soon, or rather ever. Where's the fun in that? Once he unleashes his obsessive side, there's no freedom for you. Keep reading so that he can learn more about your taste. Beware, because the more shocking the content is, the wider his smile is!
― warnings -> yandere content, not comforting, cruel
― a/n -> you didn't mention the characters so i just chose on my own :^)
LUCIFER
He watches you calmly with a smirk plastered on his face for a while before boredom sets in. Listen, he enjoys tormenting human beings just as well as the next demon, but there are finer distractions in life. How long are you planning to cry? He is a busy demon, you know? It's fine to moan and whine when he gets mean, but know when to stop. Now, he can't really have you getting traumatized and broken and dehydrated and hell knows what happens to that fragile body of yours. Who will he play with then? You are quite convenient to tease, quite the intelligent little pet he loves to amuse himself with.
So, he scoops you up in his arms and sighs disappointingly. He expected better but it's fine. It's his responsibility to train you to always please him. Once in a while, he can indulge you and take care of you too. He lulls in your ear in perfect coordination with your sobs. It would have been sweet if only he cared for you, and if he hadn't torn you apart from your loved ones.
LEVIATHAN
He moves as far away from you as possible. Fear overtakes his limbs till he feels that he can't breathe on land. Oh, you wretched noob! You know that he can't work under pressure. Why should you break down in front of him? N-N-Now you are shaking like a baby. He w-w-wants Hell to open up and swallow him.
"[Name], d-d-don't cry. I will cry with y-you otherwise."
It's supposed to be a warning but in your delirium, you pay him no mind. You just can't. So, he begins crying too and somehow your bodies come nearer followed by him hugging you. Your warmth calms him down, your scent makes the world a worthwhile place to live in so he tries to pat your back.
He sniffs, "I-It's g-g-going to be fine. I w-w-will take care of you like you took care of me. So p-p-please stop crying."
SOLOMON
Shhh, little one. When he hears you sobbing, his delicate heart shatters. Nevermind that it is partly his fault. It is always his fault, just the tiniest bit but he doesn't focus on that. With a flick of his fingers, he can make your situation better but no. Watching over in a neutral capacity isn't enough either. He needs to make it worse. Human beings are so fragile - he was one too a long time ago - that he can't help but be amazed at their portrayal of emotions. He wants to own every tear, every smile that you bless him with. You are his to make and break, just like his social experiments. He wants all of it, to comfort you, to look after you after he had made you cry. Surrender yourself to your master. Now, he coos in your ear.
"Little bird, don't cry anymore. Shh, I am here. It will be fine as long as we are together."
There will be more instances of you crying in the future. Solomon just likes to be the reason behind your mood.
DIAVOLO
Oh, marvellous! What grand tears fall from your eyes! He has never cried in his life, well not publicly, so he is more curious to know about your experience. Without approaching you, he stands in his spot and admires your shivering body. It's very unbecoming of a noble but that doesn't matter. You are his lover, so he can just be his true self. You will feed his curiosity without considering him cruel, won't you?
When you try to cocoon yourself in a corner, mostly because you feel his hungry eyes on you, he sulks. He wants to see the expressions that you make. Don't rob him of the delight. One would think that you were in the wrong for feeling pain. The Devildom can be indeed cruel, and the prince even more so.
The sad part is that Diavolo knows that he should be there to make you feel better, and he mostly is, but sometimes, his curiosity gets the better of him and he just likes to stand there and watch you. Watch you till your sadness morphs into discomfort.
The questions are resevered for when you feel better.
Later, to make up for his behavior, he likes to light scented candles (learned from Asmo) to help you relax and buy you whatever may comfort you.
I remember that yan Levi scenario where we were about to break up with him but couldn't. May I please ask for headcanons about finally breaking up with him and commenting about he seems to love Ruri-chan more than he does with them

― a/n -> i've been really busy so sorry for being so late :"D
Levi can be persuasive when he wants to be. With all the waterworks and whining about how he's just a pathetic yucky otaku, and how he only has his waifus and husbandos on his side, you can't help but be gentle with him.
However, the constant talks about how his precious Ruri-chan will never be as apathetic towards him as you leaves you more and more disconcerted. One would expect someone who demands absolute devotion and attention to give the same in return. That thought might have been the only positive attribute you had associated with the relationship but even that was falling apart.
Why were you even together with this guy?
----
You were having a bad day. A horrible one, really. You felt insecure and invalidated and burnt out. A day off would be absolute heaven in the middle of the Hell you lived in.
"Levi," you called out from outside, hoping to be pampered and loved. Was that a lot to ask from your boyfriend?
"Hana Ruri-chan is the cutest!" you heard from inside.
You waited. When no answer followed, you sighed, realised that he must have headphones on so you entered the room with the spare key he had given you.
Without further comment, you tiptoed to him, a little excited about the little prank you were about to play. You checked to see if he was in the middle of a game so as not to interrupt at a crucial point. Everything looked fine so you took his headphones off gently and shouted, "Surprise, Levi!"
He gasped and turned around with fury in his eyes. Snatching his headphones from your hands, he said vehemently, "Do-Don't you ever do th-that again!"
You took a step back on realising that the stutter was not a byproduct of anxiety but of rage. He was so blinded that he could not speak coherently.
You felt your anger rising too. Why should you be treated like this? Standing up as straight as possible, you said, "Why? How was my action wrong?"
He got up so quickly that the gaming chair fell sideways on the floor with a loud thud.
"I was on a call with a gamer and I was telling them why Ruri-chan IS amazing! It had only been an hour or so. I was right in the zone. Why did you have to interrupt me? You always ruin everything! I can't have fun with you around!"
You fought the tears that threatened to spill at the burn of his words. Was that all you meant to him? Did you add no joy to his life? When was the last time that he had paid you a compliment half as sweet as that?
"Okay, fine," you said slowly, not looking at him, afraid that the look of disgust or whatever was to come would hurt you like a knife. "If that is all you feel about me, I will let you have your fun from now onward. I won't ruin anything for you. I am breaking up with you. I will do my best to not let you be aware of my existence."
He looked shell-shocked. Being as familiar with his expressions as you were, you had no difficulty in catching on to his line of thought.
"Oh yes, you heard me right, Levi. I am b-r-e-a-k-i-n-g u-p with you, after all. A break up! Also, since you have made your feelings clear enough, let me get something off my chest too. You really drain my energy, Levi. I wish sometimes you can let it be about me. I have days when I can't babysit you. Well, it doesn't matter. Just. Please just don't show me your face."
"Whaaaa-? H-How could you..." he moaned and looked helpless. "A-A-And that too right before an important gaming marathon? I k-k-know that I am a good-for-nothing shut-in but you wouldn't be so inconsiderate, now, would you?"
You raised your eyebrows and drawled disinterestedly, "I'm sure you'll be fine. You have the power of anime and cute Hana Ruri-chaaaaan on your side, after all."
"I-"
You cut him short with a Ruri figurine. "To prove that I'm not heartless, I will give this to you as a parting gift. This is a limited edition figurine that's not yet out in the market. Satan knew someone on the production team and he pulled in some strings to get this as a favour to me. So here."
You threw it at him and began walking towards the door.
//Ending one//
As expected, your boyfriend, or rather your ex-boyfriend, didn't follow you but tried to save the figurine.
"H-H-How dare you do that to Rur-"
Turning towards the door, he flared angrily but realised that he was alone there. Well alone except for his numerous figurines.
//Alternate ending//
If you had expected him to be distracted by the figurine, you were in for a surprise. You had grossly underestimated the extent of his obsession with you.
You see, Levi had always considered you his and when he thought he wanted something, he usually got it. He would spent countless nights without sleep waiting to book a ticket or buy dozens and dozens of products to get one figurine that he already had five of. It made no sense but Levi did not give up easily on the things that he wanted.
When he was defeated, he felt surprised, cursed a little then a lot, whined, was impressed by whoever got their hands on his desired object and then went out to remove their pitiable existence from the bowels of Hell discreetly to get the item.
You are different. You are special.
He wouldn't let you change hands. You were his before and that would remain the case till the day you die. Then he would have your corpse carved out and be refilled so that you could live with him longer. So gorgeous in a Ruri-chan cosplay and no complaints then!
How could you have expected him to let you leave so easily? In a moment of adrenaline rush, he caught the figurine by reflex. Perfectly. Even he was bewildered.
His mind was blank. He knew you were serious. Your face said so quite clearly.
He closed his eyes and lunged at you, hitting you hard with the figurine he had caught.
He was panting by the time your hand grazed the doorknob and you fell down unconscious.
"You will never leave me, [Name]," he said, crying, as he pulled your body towards him. "Oh my Diavolo. You made me ruin the figurine! You can't leave after the sacrifices I have made!"
Simeon holds your hand whenever you’re watching any show. The gruesome content that you consume leaves him a little shocked. When he looks at the words screaming bloodshed that you read so happily, he’s left in deep thought. It helps him accept his twisted tendencies since he believes that you find it attractive. Do you enjoy the darkness that one hides? Should he unleash his own to gain your love? Yes, being an author, he understands that your choice of media doesn’t affect your preferences in real life, but he’s hopelessly in love with you, and his image of a good angel will always be what it truly is — an act. So, he’s desperate to show you the real him, and what better way to do so than write you a short story where the protagonist is as deranged as he truly is. The love interest, designed after you, would be head over heels for the main character because of the madness he hid. Such a beautiful love story to write, and then live. Simeon is excited to see your enchanting reaction to it, especially when he gets on one knee right after your eyes have scanned the page.
BARBATOS
He always believed that thoughts of murder go well with tea. So, when he notices you reading a questionable piece of fiction while munching at his homemade cookies happily, he raises an eyebrow and hides a small smile. If that’s your preference in a romantic partner, he would be happy to fulfil all your fantasies. After all, wherever your eyes fall, you can find Barbatos’ mark there. He’s always looking at you from the shadows, while he’s busy at work, while his mind should be preoccupied somewhere else but a part of it is always reserved for you so he can’t really resist. Isn’t that romantic? He does his job so well that he surpasses the men you read about in fiction when it comes to his crooked nature. You are the love of his life, and so he can’t really avert his gaze for a second. That’s the rule he keeps close to heart — to always, always know about your whereabouts. Now that he hopes that you may enjoy the attention, he’ll only get worse.

You truly didn’t know what to expect when your boyfriend Sully told you that he wanted you to meet his family. You would be lying if you said that you weren’t partly excited about it. Was it not a way of saying that he was serious about you and about what you two had?
When the door to the House of Lamentation creaked open, you shuddered. The place seemed so cold and ruthless, so devoid of humanity that you hesitated before taking the first step inside. It was probably just your imagination. After all, seven grown up working adults could hardly maintain such a large house without help and give it homely feel at the same time too. You reasoned that it was asking for a lot.
When Sully extended his hand with a soft smile, you relaxed and decided to cut his family some slack. You wanted these people to like you so you might as well start by liking them first. Give what you expect back, right?
You smiled and decided to be pleasant as he guided you to the living room.
“Make yourself at home there, [Name],” said Sully, pointing at a comfortable chair. “I will go and find my brothers. Don’t worry, I’ll be back in an instant.”
He kissed you and turned to leave.
You fidgeted uneasily, “Okay... Just... please be quick.”
When he was gone, you looked around nervously. Goosebumps erupted on your skin as the feeling of being watched and assessed washed over you. What was this cold fear that made you immobile?
“You smell nice. I wonder what you taste like,” a voice said from the shadows.
A scream escaped your lips and you were on your feet in an instant.
“Wh-Who? Who’s there?”
“Beel hon, shhh. You are scaring the cute little thing,” another voice chirped. It was a melodious voice but you didn’t notice that under the given circumstances.
You were looking at every direction, trying to discern the source of danger.
“Oiii would ya shuddup?! I am tryna see if the human has anything valuable and with them moving around cause of your chit chat, it’s difficult to notice.”
You realised that you were fixed to the spot. Your throat felt constricted with panic.
Another voice sighed.
“It’s just like Mammon to do what he tells others not to. Now you are the one scaring them, you idiot.”
“Levi, would ya shuddup?!”
Bickering ensued. What was taking Sully so long?
Were they perhaps playing a prank on you? Dear Sully would make an appearance at any time now and tell you that he was just pulling your leg. Right? Somehow you highly doubted that. There was something off about the guy. He was mostly distant but every time you showed signs of questioning the relationship, he would become extremely doting. The timing could not be a coincidence since it happened too frequently for that. He was a grave sort of man and usually used his wit to make you feel like an idiot. When you tried to communicate, he listened and replied as if you were a child who understood nothing. You could see him humiliating you but not in that manner – not when he could make you feel worthless rather than get a mere jumpscare out of you.
You wanted to be anywhere but there. Maybe you should have broken up with that guy long ago. Maybe this wasn’t the sign you so desperately needed to eb together with this guy who made you feel terrible about yourself. Maybe...
“Can you stop thinking so loudly? I am trying to sleep here zzzz”
If you could move, you would have fallen on your butt right then. That voice... It sounded so near you, almost within reach yet your eyes registered no human form.
“Hehe worried that you can’t see me? Lucifer said that it might be more amusing to do it this way. By hiding ourselves, you know? I didn’t do this because he suggested it though. I was always planning to toy with you to see your expression. Hehe can’t say I am not enjoying myself. Satan was right. You really are clueless.”
All at once, you found your voice again. It was like a dam had broken inside and you needed to get it all out.
“Sully? SULLY?! ARE YOU THERE? Are you...” you choked on the words, “Plea... Please SULLY! Please come back-”
On feeling cold hands wrap around your throat, you started gasping for air.
“Shut up, human. Didn’t I tell you that I was trying to sleep?”
“Belphie leave them,” an authoritative voice snarled.
“I don’t take orders from you, Lucifer,” the voice retorted but you felt the presence receding in the darkness again.
Fatigue made you stumble but warm hands caught you before an unfortunate fall on the floor.
“[Name],” a familiar voice murmured. “What happened?”
“Sully!” you felt the corners of your eyes prick. You were saved!
“I am so glad you are finally here,” you wrapped your arms around his neck and cried to your heart’s content. You were finally safe! No, there was no time to be lost. You must get away from that haunted place as soon as possible.
“Sully let us leave this place at once. It’s not... It’s possessed!”
He pulled you away from him gently to stare at you with concern, “What do you mean, [Name]? This is my house. It’s safe.”
“But there’s...” you turned around to point at the origin of the voice that had answered you with infinite hate. However, the darkness was gone and you saw a cold room in its wake. This was not the same room he had left you in.
It just didn’t make sense.
The words got caught in your throat and you scanned the room, dumbfounded.
He sighed and squeezed your arms, “I understand. You are nervous. Don’t worry. It will be fine. My brothers will love you. Okay?”
He did not understand. You needed to make him see.
“But...”
The sound of footsteps cut you short. A smile appeared on his lips as he tugged at your hand.
“Come. I will introduce you.”
Six figures appeared before you and suddenly the chilling fear from a few moments ago was back.
On hearing the brothers greet you, your heart started pounding quickly.
Those voices... There was no mistaking it. You had heard their voices in the dark.
The one who made you especially anxious was the youngest brother Belphegor who you found sleeping on the couch.
