Work Text:
LUCIFER
He's busy with work when you storm into his office. One look at your distraught face and he puts his papers aside. The current situation is more important than his sin and need to be on top of his responsibilities since you are a matter of pride to him. He must overcome the shackles on his lips and speak — whisper comforting nothings in your ears, reassure you that if you've been misunderstood till now, that ends here. The future will be different — hopefully to your liking because remember that you're surrounded by beings who love and cherish you. Since being understood is important to you, it's important to them too. All of them. For your sake, Lucifer will not deal with this alone. Everyone's reassurance counts since you love all of them. They'll listen and have your words turn in their minds till they understand — him more so than anybody else. Some battles are better fought with others.
LEVIATHAN
Being misunderstood is one of the worst feelings in the world. Especially when it's about something that helps you cope. He doesn't have the communication skills required to help you but he knows that company helps. You can count on him to sit quietly beside you while holding your hand. Don't talk. Look at the screen and let the fluorescent light do the trick. There should be some character you relate to! Just remember that if a writer out in the wild understands the topic well and other people derive comfort from a piece of media, you're not alone in feeling a certain way. It definitely does not make your pain go away but perhaps, it helps you know that it's not impossible for you to survive after all. He may not be the brightest in the bunch but he's there when his Henry calls for him.
SATAN
He can sense the discontent and the traces of anger in you. More than that, he can see the sad lines on your face. What will he not do to make you feel at peace? A serene feeling pulsing through your body as if the world is a good place to live in. His ideas mostly come from books he has read over the centuries without actually helping anybody — even himself. But maybe this is a good place to start. Lending an ear to someone as dear as you and trying to get close may be what you need. A friend, a listener, someone who understands. Satan has molded himself to be who he is today and he's not opposed to changing to be the shoulder you can rely on. He can be the one you so ardently desire and for the first time in his life, he knows he wouldn't have to try his darndest. It'll come naturally for you.
ASMODEUS
The expressive demon is rendered too shocked for speech. Honey, no! Who dare make you feel that way? Sniffing, he clings to your leg like an adorable puppy. Has he not been letting you talk about your feelings lately? He lets out a little gasp. Did he seem unapproachable? What has he done?! He's sorry! Please don't look sad. His time is free like a mall's WiFi so cuddle him and pour your heart out. That's it! You two are having a pajama party. If you need to relax before you can talk, he'll light scented candles or offer you a bath with the best quality bath bombs. Maybe some soft music and gentle lighting will help you channel your inner spirit to talk. You seem too shook so don't be hurried! He's good at both filling the silence and making it for you. Once the mood is set, he pays you his utmost attention. You know that he's always there to listen to you, right? Be comfortable. Be you!
BELPHEGOR
Even though his eyelids are heavy with sleep, his other senses are keen and alert especially when he hears your footsteps in the attic. The mattress shifts and he feels your warm hand just within reach. So, covering it with his own, he moves closer and questions you about your mood. Despite his eyes being closed, his heart is always open to the changes in you. He can hear the feelings that have no sound. That has helped him when he needed to escape punishments and now it'll help him banish the punishments that you inflict upon yourself without any good cause. Pulling your back against his chest, he sings you a lullaby so that you feel yourself drifting to comfortable slumber. Now that you're in his world, he'll show you the most beautiful sights imaginable. It's unfair that he knows the least about you out of all the brothers. So, make it up to him by letting him know and understand most about you. He promises to not mess up this time. His entire soul is at your feet. Let him be one with you. Tell him. Tell him!
DIAVOLO
All official work is deserted when you enter his office looking gloomy. After offering you a seat opposite him, he shuts Barbatos' protests of assisting you himself while Diavolo continues with his work. The demon prince will have the last word here. It's you so he must be the one to take care of your dilemma. Not Barbatos and not Lucifer. When his eyes fall back on you, they are calm and gentle. Don't be shy. You are in the presence of a well-wisher. He's ashamed to have not approached you sooner but now that you're lost, let him be your guide. No matter how long it takes this time, he'll be there to cheer you up in his own way. Take your time, choose your words and emotions and know that when your eyes look for someone, they'll find him with all readiness. Being a prince may come with responsibilities but being a friend comes with some too and he wants to put his mark in both spheres of life.
BARBATOS
His visage notices no change as he continues to look at you thoughtfully. Perhaps a cup of warm tea and some cakes he baked that morning while thinking about you will do you good. You look so desolate that his heartstrings are about to break. How could he be so careless to not assuage your fears at an earlier stage? How unbecoming of him! And he calls himself someone important to you. It's driving him mad. He's crazy about you but he couldn't even see how distressed you were! ...If possible, can he have another chance to prove his devotion to you? Yes, he's one of the busiest demons in the Devildom but time is something to be made, not something to be had. And who do you think tops his list of important people, right after Diavolo? You. It's always been you. He has honed his skills to catch the first signs of deception or any emotion imaginable so be fearless and talk. Let his ears be rewarded with the melody of your voice. Let him understand what you think, how you feel, what you need, and what he can give you. He'll shower you with what you desire if it's in his power to give.
SOLOMON
The trick is to find one being who understands you. Life witnesses the tide of relationships you make along the path. But how often can you confidently say that someone will come when the situation gets sour? For you, the answer will be atleast once and many times over. Solomon is there for you. It's ironic what a single human, angel or demon can do, isn't it? It's that friend, lover or family member who matters. So don't run away from them since not everyone is lucky to form such a connection in this life. For him, life is a long journey with some pain at first and then some more. It's this pain that makes him want to cherish the one person (you) he knows he'll love for aeons to come. While the blood in his veins is still warm, he wants to exhaust every last detail about you. Mix it with his very essence so that long after his arms are empty, his mind can conjure an inside joke when he looks at something familiar. Even though life is long, the time to understand you is fleeting so he'll make the most of it. They don't call him the Witty Sorcerer for nothing!
MEPHISTOPHELES
...The audacity! Are the brothers not treating you well? He always had his suspicions regarding Lucifer! That's it, you're moving out! Live with him. His job as a journalist has made him capable as a good listener and to find the undercurrents in someone's voice that are not imparted willingly. Also, he's going to say this just once but as far as humans go, you don't seem bad. So, he'll like to listen to you if you decide to take him into your confidence. Don't look so worried now. He won't sell your secrets for a hefty profit. That goes beyond his noble spirit of friendship and work. Maybe it's time that he bonds with human beings. Given how one of your numbers (he's too embarrassed to say that it's you) has become so dear to him that their tears moved him, he should really get close to them while he still has time. You can start from the very beginning. It'll help you unwind your feelings so get everything off your chest. He has tissues ready.
