If you'd ask him, Asmo would probably say that person as perfect as him can only have good days. Well this certainly wasn't one.
It all started in the second class when he failed a test. all students immediately got up to comfort their perfect, lovely, upset Asmo. Who, in fact, wasn't upset by the test, but rather the closeness of said students.
Of course, he did love the attention. And when in a good mood he would even tolerate a comforting pat, as long as it didn't affect his perfect look. But this was too much and his mood was far from good.
Still, he couldn't just shout at them to let him be, he had a reputation to uphold.
„I'm fine, really. It's not the end of the world, is it now?" he tried, through it only earned him a coo of „You're so optimistic!" from one of his classmates and more people talking to him, touching him...
This was more than he could take. He needed to find Satan, he could shout at them all he wanted. Asmo checked his phone and sighed. He didn't have any joined lessons today. He'll have to make it.
„Urgh, Do you mind?" he says in an even voice, pushing away the hand on his hip bone. Cringing as another replaces it.
„Hey! Whatcha think ya doin'!" Asmo was never happier to hear Mammon's voice. „Give Asmo some space!" Mammon continued, as he he pushed some of the demons away.
The crowed slowly dissolved. Mammon gently put his hand on Asmo's shoulder. „Saved your ass there, didn't I?" He smirks. „Fine. What do you want?" Asmo exclaims, unimpressed.
He probably should have argued more, but he was too damn tired to give a fuck. Mammon, of course, doesn't notice. „ Nah, I'll let ya have it for free today. That's how good the Great Mammon is!" Asmo just let out a relieved sigh and watched his brother walk out of his classroom.
But when he reached for his diamond pen, which he left on the desk, he found nothing. „Damn it Mammon!" he murmured angrily.
Normally he would chase after him, but Mammon did save him. And he did offer him payment, so he'll take it as that. And just like that he said goodbye to his favorite pen and pulled out a cheep, plain one.
This pen stopped writing not even hour later. He had to borrow one from a classmate, who now considered himself Asmo's favorite. The rest of day demons were competing for Asmo's attention.
When he finally got home, he thought he'd be feeling better. Instead his annoyance formed into some strange kind of melancholy.
Only one person to turn to, Asmo through bitterly. Whatever he might say, he still hated interrupting the sorcerer. It always made him feel guilty, but he needed the comfort, only his friend could provide.
He headed towards his room to get dressed. To his surprise his room wasn't empty, rather it contained a really mad Lucifer.
„I told you to call me when you leave school!"Asmo flinched at the tone. „Shit, I forgot! I'm so sorry Lucifer. I'm visiting Solomon, so I can bring you something as apology?" Lucifer's angry expression turned downright furious.
„Sorry!? Get me something!?" He shouted. Then, quietly he added „Asmo do you have any idea how worried I was?"
A wave of guilt washed over Asmodeus. „Lucifer I..." he didn't know what to say. He just wanted Lucifer to stop looking so damn hurt. He didn't want to be hurting his brother.
Lucifer returned to his regular stern face as he continued „As for your visit, you're not going anywhere for the rest of the week." With that he turned around, leaving Asmo alone, sad, guilty and panicking.
He understood why Lucifer did this.Hell he'd probably do the same, but he already felt so overwhelmed. He didn't even notice the tears, running down his cheeks and staining his beautiful clothes.
He didn't know how much time went by before he finally stopped crying.
knock
‚huh?'
Knock, knock
‚what?'
„Asmo? Are you there?" ‚Satan' Asmo thought, looking up at the door. „Come in." The door opened revealing not only Satan, but all Asmo's brothers excluding Lucifer.
All looked equally worried.
„Dinner time?" Asmo managed o ask. Satan shook his head.
„We heard about what Lucifer did" Belphie explained. Asmo didn't like the angry tone. „I don't blame him. He was really worried." He tried to defend the oldest. „Well you're obviously not taking it well" Levi countered, for once leaving out any anime references, or whatever shit it was.
Now it was Asmo's turn to shake his head. „It's not that, I could handle that, it's just..." Asmo trailed of.
He could feel the bed dip beside him as Mammon sat down. „C'mon Asmo, talk to us." He said gently, pulling Asmo closer to his side.
Asmo sighed. „I just had a really bad day and I wanted to go see Solomon, but now I can't." It actually sounded very stupid once he said it out loud.
Though his brothers thought otherwise, if the group hug he was pulled into was anything to go by. „We'll distract him."
Everyone turned to Belphie, clearly confused. „And how do we do that?" Satan asked after everyone seemed to understand what was Belphie going on about.
As a response he got a „I don't know." barely understandable over Beel munching on whatever he had sneaked into Asmo's room, and a shrug from Belphie.
„We could make up a fight between Mammon and one of us!" Levi happily announced. „Why me!" Mammon Shouted. „ It won't be suspicious that way, we fight with you all the time." Satan explained exasperatly, which Mammon answered with a „Hey!" but didn't argue any further.
„I'll do it." Beel offered. Asmo watched his brothers, eyes wide with surprise. „Wait, are you sure?" He asked. All brother's turned to look at him, confused. „What do you mean? It's no big deal, Lucifer's just gonna lecture us for a while." Beel answered with a shrug.
Mammon seemed like he wanted to argue with the gluttony demon, but decided against it after receiving a harsh look from Satan. „Just go and try not to take too long just in case." Belphie gave Asmo an encouraging smile.
The avatar of lust nodded „Thank you." With that he gave his bond with Solomon a gentle tug, signaling for the sorcerer to summon him. He gave his brothers a smile, they all returned.
And when Solomon noted a soft „You have a great brothers." He just smiled and answered „Yes, that I do."
