Warning: Spoilers, character death, angst with a fluffy ending
Belphegor watched from a distance as Beel and Lilith tried to run, the army of angels on their heels.
"Just a little bit farther!" He could hear his own voice scream, only to watch as his sister was stuck by a flying arrow.
Her gasp made him freeze before he let out a gut-renching scream falling to his knees.
As tears filled his eyes, he stared at the ground below. It began to twist and change from the golden streets of the Celestial Realm to the familiar stone brick in the House of Lamentations.
He looked up, only to see himself and MC standing before him. He knew this scene all to well. He replayed it in his head every night out of guilt and regret.
He watched, frozen, as the Belphegor in front of him, grabbed and slashed MC.
All Belphie could do was scream. His muscles felt locked in place, until he was shaken awake.
"Belphie are you alright?" MC hovered over him concern filling their eyes.
He just stared back wide eyed, unmoving.
"Another nightmare?" MC's voice was gentle and soft. It gave Belphie the strength to nod gently.
They smiled at him. Their hand reached for his face and wiped away his stray tears.
"You know, I think I like you better after a nightmare. At least then you don't yell at me for waking you up or trying to talk to you." They chuckled, which made him laugh too. He knew they were trying to lighten the mood, and he appreciated it.
They sighed and stood, "I guess I should go now. I just wanted to make sure you were okay. I head some screaming and got worried-"
His voice pierced through their own as it shook with every word, "Will you just shut up and hold me already?"
MC laughed before moving towards him with a smile, "I was waiting for you to ask that."
