Chapter Text
In the beginning, though Lucifer was not very fond of her, Mc always somewhat finds herself caught in Lucifer’s arms. Lucifer not only made it clear that he has feelings for her, but he also made it clear that no one else can have her but him. Quite selfish of Lucifer but because she was in a place filled with demons who can end her life like a blink of an eye, she paid no mind to Lucifer and tried her best to get out of situations where she is left alone with him. Knowing how scary Lucifer is sometimes, Mc didn’t have the heart to tell Lucifer who she kept in her heart, fearing that he will harm him. It wasn’t that Mc did not like Lucifer, only seeing him as a friend.
Who is this mysterious man that she likes? Of course, it was none other than Lucifer’s very own brother, Mammon! Why Mammon? She asks herself that question countless times only to find no answer. Mammon was the first demon to make a pact with her, Mammon was always there for her when she needed someone. She grew fond of him and began to find the little things he does adorable and loveable. She loves the way his face is flushed red when he denies things, how he often squabbled with his brothers over small arguments, how clumsy he is, and most of all, she loves his cheerful presence.
It has been six months since she had arrived. MC sat down in the dining hall with all seven brothers as they celebrate her arrival, cheering and laughing with everyone. She stole a glance at the man sitting across her, Mammon, who also laugh with everyone. Noticing piercing eyes on him, Mammon looked across from him, locking eyes with MC for a split second before holding up his wine glass, gesturing her to cheer with him. A bashful smile on her face, she cheers with him but only to fidget the glass cup in her hand shortly after cheering with him. It hurts to look at Mammon, knowing that he only thinks of her as a friend, as a family.
Drowned in her sorrows, she chugs down her glass of wine and turns to Lucifer, asking him to fill her glass before chugging it all down the moment he fills her cup and asks Lucifer to fill her cup again.
“Mc, you’re drinking too fast!” Levi took her glass away. “No more for you!”
“Give me my wine glass!” Mc pouts with a flushed face. “I won’t forgive you if you don’t!”
“Mammon, stop her!” Levi shoots Mammon a glare.
Her heart skipped a beat when Levi mentioned Mammon. Of all people, why Mammon?! Shooting Mammon a glare, Mc frowns and tore her eyes away Mammon, scolding Levi to give her back her glass.
Shook, Mammon protests. “W-W-Wait! What did I do?!”
Don’t think about him, she thought. Don’t think about it. Don’t think about him. Her heart sinks, listening to Mammon squabbles with Satan and Asmo as they tease him.
“Mc,” Lucifer spoke. “That’s enough drinking for tonight, time to head to bed.”
A cold chill ran down her spine. She knew it was only an excuse to get her alone. However, Lucifer was right. Maybe she did drink a bit too much.
“Ah, you’re right,” Mc takes a deep breath, feeling a little heartburn from the alcohol. She stood up and excused herself, walking back to her room until she felt a hand tightens around her arms. Looking up, she expected to see Mammon holding her but was disappointed to see that it was Lucifer. Afraid that she might make a scene, Mc could not do anything but have Lucifer help her head back to her room.

“Why does it have to be you?!” Mc asked as she struggles underneath Lucifer. “What is it that you want with me?!”
“Did I not say that I will make you fall in love with me?” Lucifer snickers. “Why must you refuse me?”
“Because I… don’t love you.” She used her hand to push back his lips from kissing her. “Please don’t do this Lucifer…”
Lucifer stops, then pulls himself away from her. After a while of silence, he sighs and climbs off her bed, pulling the covers up to her chest. “You’re still thinking of him…” Lucifer runs a hand through Mc’s hair. “What must I do to get you to forget him?”
Mc didn’t answer, avoiding eye contact with Lucifer. How can she and why would she ever reveal to Lucifer who she loved? It’ll only cause chaos between the brothers. There was nothing Lucifer can do. No matter what Lucifer does, nothing can change her feelings. Seeing that Mc has no intention to answer his question, Lucifer admits defeat and heads towards the door, yet stopping by the door.
“If you ever need to get him out of your mind,” Lucifer tilts his head back to her. “I’m only one call away.”
Mc sat up, listening to Lucifer’s footsteps fade away as he walks further and further from her room. “If you ever need to get him out of your mind, I’m only one call away” Mc recites the words over and over in her head, recalling how to hurt Lucifer sounded and how desperate he was. It felt like countless shattered shards of glasses are impaling her heart unstop the moment she thinks about Mammon and Lucifer. One loves her and wants her to return his feelings while the other has no clue that she is in love with him. If only she’d never fallen for Mammon, then this would’ve never happened. In the best scenario, she wasn’t brought here in the first place.
Mc left her room, roaming the halls of the house and looking up at the portraits hung on the walls. She must be going crazy as each portrait suddenly have both Lucifer’s and Mammon’s face printed there.
“I’m going crazy,” Mc told herself as she shook her head furiously and tore her eyes away from the portraits only to realize that she had somewhat walked to Mammon’s room. Not thinking straight, she knocked on the door and waited for him, yet he didn’t come.
“Mammon…” She whimpers out under her breath. “Please… open. If you…”
She stops, unable to say the next words out loud. If you open, I’ll have a reason to see you… A reason to want your attention again… If you don’t open, I… won’t seek your attention ever again…
