(I’ll adjust everything in the morning)
You knew you weren’t suppose to stay in the past for that long. You knew you didn’t belong there. You had to get back to your time eventually.
And even if the brothers were warming up to you again, you had to say goodbye. The worst part was that they would never know why you really left.
“You can finally go back home MC.” Solomon tells you with a smile as he holds your hands with joy,”Back to your time. You did it.”
“Yeah!” You say with relief,”I can go back, back home where the people I love are waiting for me.” You can’t help but feel your heart flutter at the warmth and comfort of the brothers and everyone else you longed for.
“There’s no time to lose! It’ll happen just as quickly, Just as before-“ Solomon says ready to perform the ritual before you find yourself hesitating.
“Wait-“ You say,”Shouldn’t I say goodbye?” You ask conflicted.
“Say goodbye? MC they can’t know where you’re from. We talked about this already-“ Solomon said,”You need not to worry about these versions of themselves anymore.
“Yeah but…” You say as you look to the House of Lamentation,”But even if they don’t know it’s me yet…this version of myself..I’m still their friend. They deserve to know, that I won’t be coming back ” You tell him.
“Oh MC…”Solomon looks at with with what you feel is pity,”These are not the brothers you know…chances are they probably won’t even care or notice you’re gone..”
You look down at the floor, a saddened expression taken place,”Yeah..you’re probably right..they probably didn’t really even care..”
Solomon sighs deeply as he contemplates your words. After a few moments he squeezes your hand reassuringly,”I think…you should do what you desire… if you believe Lucifer and his brothers deserve sort closure then I suppose I can’t stop you. Just hurry back…for my sake.”
Your eyes light up with joy as you hug Solomon lovingly,”You’re the best!”
“Obviously.” He says patting your back before you break away.
“Alright! I’ll be back real quick alright!” You say as you hurry to the House of Lamentation.
“I’ll be waiting.” Solomon says watching you scurry off.
Normally, at least in this timeline, you wouldn’t really go to the house of lamentation without proper reason and permission.
So you hope Lucifer or someone would at least let you in.
Does the house look a lot bigger or have you just not seen it in a while?
You look back at the door, hesitantly you knock three times. You wait anxiously for any sort of response and when time passed and nobody answered you felt quite defeated.
“I guess…Solomon..was right..” You mumble to yourself a bit disappointedly. Just as you were about to walk away the door cracked open.
You hesitantly reach for it and peek inside.
“H-hello?” You say not wanting to intrude more than you have to.
Nonetheless you step into the house fully. Despite it looking just slightly different, it still felt like home to you.
You take a breath of relief before a voice startles you.
“Ah? - Oh! It’s you, ya weirdo what are you doing here?!” Mammon stares at you confusingly,”Who let ya in?”
“I well- I knocked and the door opened so I wasn’t really sure if I could come in or not or if someone let me in by mistake so I walk in here to see if there was anyone but I didn’t see anyone so I was gonna leave but then -“You begin to ramble before Mammon cuts you off.
“Oi, quit ya yappin. I don’t care.” Mammon tells you.
“Right.” You say,”Sorry.”
“You’re so weird.” Mammon says shaking his head disapprovingly,”But I guess you’re here for a reason eh? What can the great Mammon do for you? Ya need to see Luci or sum?”
“Well yeah- but also I came to see you! Also everyone else.” You tell him.
“M-me?!” Mammon says with utter confusion. It seems he decided to skip over the part you said everyone else as well.
“Yeah, there was something I needed to tell you-“ You tell him.
“T-tell me ? “ Mammons head begins to swirl,”Me? Why me?
“Well Mammon, it’s just that I’ve came ti say go-“You tell him before getting caught off by another voice.
“MAMMON!” Leviathan screams out as he approaches,”Where’s my damn money!”
“Jeez Levi, could you be any louder?!” Mammon scolds,”I’m in the middle of something here!”
“I don’t care - gimme my money!” Levi says before realizing it’s you.
“Huh?? MC?! You’re here?!” Levi seems surprised by your visit,.
“Oh! Levi! This is great- I needed to tell you both that-“ You say before yet another voice cuts you off.
“Ah~ what’s with all the yelling~ you’re all bound to get wrinkles like that- oh- MC?” Asmo says coming into view as he looks at you curiously,” What are you doing here?”
“Ah you’re here! Perfect ! - I came to -“ You say before Mammon cuts you off.
“Cant y’all see MC is trying to have a proper conversation with ME? Butt out.” Mammon says
“Mammon, you’re so full of yourself.” Levi says bitterly.
“Ay! Watch what you say!” Mammon says.
“Ugh you guys, MC is trying to say something. “ Asmo says
“Right..thanks Asmo..I was going to say that-“
“Can you all kindly shut the hell up?” Satan says marching into the room,”You’re all irritating me! I can hear shouting from halfway across the house.”
“Everything was fine until Levi and Asmo came in tryna be nosey!” Mammon tells Satan.
“I don’t care! Just shut up already-“Satan says before looking at you and his anger briefly replaced by confusion,”It’s you?”
Before you can say anything another voice pops in “Oh would you look at that Beel. I told you they were arguing. “ Belphie says yawning tiredly,”Could recognize Mammons annoying voice far that much of a distance.”
Beel Hums in agreement as his stomach growls,”Mm yeah, it sure does seem that way. I suppose since MC is here that’s why they’re arguing.”
“Oh- you’re right. I didn’t even see MC til you said it.” Belphie says with a chuckle,”What brings you here? Normally Lucifer would’ve thrown a huge fuss anytime someone came over about being on our best behavior. So I assume he doesn’t know you’re here.”
“R-right-“ You say as they all look at you curiously. Suddenly it feels a little harder to say what you have to.
“I don’t see why the rest of ya need to be here. MC said she wanted to speak to me and-“Mammon starts off but gets cut off
“She did not say that you liar!” Levi says,”She clearly said me.”
“That’s not what I heard!” Asmo says as they all start arguing once more.
“Is that really the only thing you’re concerned about right now?” Belphie asks.
Why does feel…so familiar to you?…it almost ..feels like when-
“So why are you here MC?” Satan asks (demands) gathering the attention of the others and knocking you out of your thoughts.
“Oh that’s…..right…” You says.
“Well spit it out, we don’t got all day now.” Mammon says growing increasingly impatient.
You look at all of them as they stare at you with such a familiar twinkle in their eyes. One that you thought you’d never really see again.
“I’ve…”You say bowing your head down,”I’ve come to say goodbye.”
“Uh…okay?” Mammon says shrugging his shoulders,”You going on vacation or sum?”
You shake your head,”No, I’m leaving Mammon.”
“For how long?” Mammon asks again not quite grasping your words.
“I ..well-“ You say unsure of what to tell them as you twiddle your fingers together.
“Like a couple months or ?” Mammon waits for your answer.
You could feel everyone’s stare bore into your skin as they await your answer.
“They mean forever Mammon. It means they’re never coming back.”
