Tough Love

Summary:

MC uses tough love... it's super confusing!

Notes:

Author is not sweet. Well, maybe, but in an aggressive kind of way.

Work Text:

Lucifer

  • Lucifer is the type to use tough love let's be honest. 
  • He's not entirely upfront with his feelings unless those feelings revolve around annoyance and disappointment. Case and point: He treats Mammon like trash but deep down he trusts that moron the most. 
  • So when MC is just like him but SO. MUCH. WORSE. and VOCAL he is downright confused 
  • He witnesses your tough love when you barge into his office unannounced. 
  • "LUCIFER! You're still here?! Son of a-"
  • You slam your hands on his desk to wake him up properly. 
  • "Wha- MC? What time is-"
  • "you've been awake for 72 hours straight you workaholic little shit! I love you and I admire your dedication to your work but go the fuck to sleep before I strap you to your bed I swear to any higher power!"
  • Blank stare™
  • Boi is confused. Are you complimenting him? Are you insulting him? What the fuck? 
  • You pinch the bridge of your nose since he's not reacting to your orders. 
  • "Hey! Did you hear me? I said go to bed now! Don't make me call Diavolo because I will do it, don't test me you annoying piece of-"
  • "Wait are you ordering me around?"
  • hell yes you are
  • "If that's what it takes to get you to rest then yes I am, bitch. Just please get some rest, damn it, you worry me. I know you're a demon and you think you can do everything because you’re great but let's not push it yeah? You need rest."
  • He's still confused. Those were some mixed signals. 
  • Nevertheless, he is in no fit state anymore to argue with you so he sighs. 
  • "Fine. I'll allow you this kind of talk just this once. Let me just clean my desk-"
  • "No! I'll do it! You go to bed! Shoo!" 
  • You wave him off and if he started confused, now he's more entertained. 

Mammon

  • Mammon is used to putting himself high up on a pedestal. He calls himself THE GREAT MAMMON for crying out loud. 
  • But there are times when his brothers' teasing, and other demons and witches' teasing, gets to him. 
  • You're gonna have none of that. 
  • When he starts to feel a bit insecure about himself and starts to doubt his own set of skills, you tear into him with compliments. 
  • "Now listen here! Don't listen to what your brothers are saying! They're just messing with you, you know?"
  • Your sudden outburst startles him ngl and he stares at you with wide eyes. 
  • "You're great and you're reliable. Sure you're an idiot sometimes but that's part of your charm and I'm glad you are who you are. You're also the sweetest little shit, okay? Sometimes I may join in on the teasing but that's because you're a cute little asshole when you get flustered. You're an idiot, yes, but you're my idiot."
  • Error 404 Mammon.exe has stopped working
  • He stares at you, trying to make sense of what you just said. He tries to pick at every single detail. 
  • But fails. 
  • "Did you… Why are you calling me an idiot?!" 
  • *facepalm of the year*
  • "That's all you got from what I've said?! Are you fucking kidding me?!"
  • "You were so confusing!! Ya callin' me cute but ya also called me an idiot!"
  • "That's because you are! I can't believe how much I'm attracted to an idiot like you."
  • "Stop callin' me an idiot! And… wait, did you just say you're attracted to me?"
  • "We're already dating you moron of course I am, always have been."
  • "Why are you calling me a moron now huh?!"
  • Ok. That's enough. Goodluck. You argue into the night. No one wins.

Leviathan 

  • Hooooo boyyyyy! Levi has a habit of looking down on himself and he's not afraid to say it out loud. 
  • And you hate it. You try to show him how he's loved and how you care for him. 
  • But in your own, scary, tough, and aggressive way. 
  • Let’s face it, you don’t do the whole sweet S/O thing.
  • You guys were playing in his room and despite you and him being together for quite some time now, Levi is still in the process of accepting that you're with him. After all… 
  • "I just don't get why you're with a yucky, otaku shut-in like me. I mean… I'm nobody. I'm just a recluse and not good for any-"
  • "Hold it!"
  • You physically shut his lips with your fingers and he's a blushing mess™
  • "I will have none of that talk, Leviathan!" 
  • He's scared. He screwed up and he knows it. You just full-named him. 
  • "You may be a shut-in but you're the most beautiful shut-in I've ever met in my whole life, got it?"
  • Cue blush + stuttering + twenty or more heart attacks
  • "I'm… w-what? I'm not-"
  • "Let me finish." You scold and yep, he's scared. Who wouldn't be? You had that serious look on your face. 
  • "You're caring, you’re patient and hardworking and you're sweet even when you’re not trying to be. You're indeed weird but I happen to love that about you, okay? And excuse you, I, myself, am a shut-in so that just means we're a fine pair! You're not yucky, you're a handsome little devil do you hear me? You're not a nobody, you're Levi and you're the greatest player, otaku shut-in I've ever known. If I hear you talk shit about yourself one more time I'm going to kill you."
  • Okay. He doesn't know whether to be all giddy because of all the compliments you've given him or be afraid because you just threatened to kill him. 
  • He nods quickly, scared, but he's a blushing mess. 
  • "Okay? Okay. Good. Now click, continue, I wanna see my favorite shut-in play."

Satan

  • He knows.
  • He knows how you operate. But that doesn't necessarily mean that he's used to it. 
  • Satan likes it when you praise him and show him how much he means to you but he's still caught off guard every once in a while. 
  • Especially when you just do them randomly. 
  • The two of you were studying for an exam and God help you, you're a dumb little shit when it comes to Math. 
  • But the good news is, your partner is a walking calculator. 
  • He explains to you in ways you understood the whole process. Not just have you memorize the solutions. He takes it to a level where you would be able to comprehend.
  • "God fucking damn it Satan you're a genius. What the heck is going on in that beautiful brain of yours? We need to protect you and your brain at all costs." 
  • He chuckles, "You humor me."
  • "Bitch I ain't lying! You're like, the smartest demon there is! Honestly, you're smart, you're kind, and you're damn good looking too. I can't believe someone like you even exists in the same reality as me. I mean how? Un-fucking-believable."
  • "I'm not all that. You flatter me too much."
  • Pft. He's blushing. He likes it but he doesn't want to seem prideful. That's Lucifer's job. 
  • "When have I ever lied about how I see you, Satan? I love that you're brilliant, you're always the one who has the solution to any problem be it school work or something else. I can't believe how god damn smart you are. Einstein is shaking. Also, you need to accept these compliments or else…"
  • He grins, "Or else what?"
  • You smack him with a book. "Or else get rekt you jerk."
  • "What the… what happened to protect me at all cost?"
  • "Talk shit, get hit."

Asmodeus

  • At first, he will be very confused. But then he will try to out-compliment you. 
  • But he fails. 
  • Asmo is a sweet talker so the way you show your affection is strange to him. But don’t get him wrong, he absolutely loves it.
  • When he announces that Majolish booked him for a modeling gig he was over the moon. As were you. 
  • "Holy shit, Asmo that's great! You're gonna be the prettiest cover demon in the history of Majolish!"
  • Mammon *in the distance*: HEY! 
  • "Shattap, this ain't your time!"
  • "Thank you, MC! I am so excited about this! Can you imagine? I'm gonna be in Majolish!"
  • "Of course I can imagine! There's no better model out there than you! And I know it's in your nature to be unbelievably hot but this is really no surprise! I was actually waiting for this to happen for you!"
  • "Y-You have?" He's stunned all of a sudden. 
  • "well yeah! I always thought, 'Man, one day, Asmo will be on a cover of a magazine or a star of his own tv show, or on a billboard and everyone will know how fucking great he is. And that'll be awesome!' you know? I mean who better than to be the face of Devildom than the freaking Avatar of Lust himself? I mean, I can't believe how you're charming, you're sweet, and you're obviously so fucking hot altogether, you’re the whole package and not a single one of those other demons hold a candle to you!"
  • "Gosh, MC you really know how to flatter a demon like me." He pouts and you squish his cheeks. 
  • "You're the cutest little shit to ever exist. Don't you forget that."
  • Noted™

Beelzebub

  • Actually, he's more worried than confused. He doesn't know if he should stop doing what he's doing or keep going. 
  • You're sending too many mixed signals. 
  • When he's in the field during a game you cheer him on… very aggressively. 
  • "Kick their ass Beel! Show 'em how dangerous you can be! Whoo! That's my demon right there! You're doing amazing sweetie!"
  • He's happy but also, embarrassed, please stop. 
  • When he's cooking at home: "Beel, damn it how can you cook this good? Whenever you're on kitchen duty, sure it takes longer because you always end up eating the food during the taste test, but when you're done it's like… like I'm Cerberus and Lucifer just sent me some demons to play with."
  • Weird comparison but okay? What? 
  • When you're on a date: "Fucking hell, you're still going? I can't believe it, how are you not full?"
  • He's confused now and a little sad because he thinks you want him to stop. 
  • "Do you want me to stop eating so we can go home?"
  • "The fuck?! No! Keep going! It's fine! I like watching you eat!"
  • "But you just said... "
  • *cue unbelievably adorable head tilt*
  • "Beel, that means I'm amazed by how much you can eat. It doesn't mean I want you to stop. I'll never ask you to do such a thing."
  • Oh. 
  • "Damn it you're so adorable it hurts. It physically hurts."
  • Panic™
  • "What hurts? Are you okay? Should we head home?"
  • Beel, no… 

Belphegor

  • LOL what are you on he's definitely like you too. 
  • He will match your tough love in his own weird way. 
  • Let's be real it's more of the brothers who are more confused about how you two show affection 
  • "Wake up ya little shit!" you smack him with his pillow to annoy him. 
  • "Get off and shut it, you annoying human."
  • "We're gonna be late for class, you sleepyhead! Come on!"
  • "Good riddance."
  • You grumble and body slam him on the bed. 
  • "AKDHJSKSGCKHD WHAT THE FUCK?! YOU'RE HEAVY AS SHIT GET OFF ME!"
  • "Not until you get off your ass! Lucifer will both have our heads if we're late again! I love you and I'd do anything for you but if we become cleaners one more time because of Lucifer's punishment I swear to Diavolo-"
  • "If you love me then let me go back to sleep."
  • Bitch, you can't win.
  • "Get up, Belphegor!"
  • Nah. That full name thing don't work on him. 
  • "you know I can easily just throw your fatass off this bed since I am physically stronger."
  • "I'll latch onto you like a koala, don't test me, Belphie, I'll do it."
  • Your threats are empty, shut up. 
  • "You just want an excuse to hug me."
  • "What if I do? Don't you want it? I'm getting up then."
  • Not so fast. 
  • "I'll get up in five minutes." He grumbles and holds on to you a little longer before you really have to get up. 
  • "Oi you two! We're gonna be late!" 
  • "Blame this fucker right here!"
  • "Who was it that body-slammed me into the bed?"
  • "Who was it that acted like a freaking child and held me captive?"
  • "You like it when I act like a child."
  • "Yes. And you're a spoiled brat, that's what you are."
  • "Stop bickering and get down here!"
