Chapter Text

• He’s already got his hands full with his brothers, so any sort of outward expression of desire for a child is usually one of disapproval, especially when asked about the curse and if it was affecting him at all.  
• Although, being the avatar of pride, seeing a child that looks like an almost equal split of his and your features does something, and he can’t help but begin longing for a reflection of himself mixed with you. 
• He’d try and be responsible, show that he’s above his brother’s level of broodiness, but the moment you show even the slightest interest, he’s thinking about how to make it happen.  
• He’s planning out the schematics in his head, where would the child’s nursery be, how would he balance RAD and his work with a child, 
• As he planned more and more, he became broodier and broodier, often becoming slightly more touchy, but he usually has an excuse for every single touch, or heavily resisting the urges he has.  
• He’s got way better control over it than his brothers, who fall like flies, but it breaks down when he begins “protecting” you from his brother’s urges alone in his room.  
• If you agree, he leads you in with ease and grace, and he seems to be fully in control of himself until that door latches shut.  
• He succumbs to the overprotective broodiness and begins monopolizing your attention by cuddling you, asking you if you want children, how many you want, and he’ll give it to you all. He'll hold you close, telling you how perfect it will be, and how hard he’ll work to make it perfect. He’ll protect you as well, along with his children 
• He tells you how he’ll make it work, how he’ll take care of everything, and asks how you feel about it as well with a flushed face and bedroom eyes.  
• Solomon finally breaks the curse by making a child carving out of a peach pit, Although Lucifer is still open to the idea of starting a family with you after everything you two have discussed.  

• He’s not only thought about it, he knows how many he wants, what their names will be, what their nicknames are, how if a little one happens to look exactly like you, he’ll spoil them until they’re rotten 
• When the curse takes effect, he’s a bit nervous about how it’s going to affect him 
• Of course, he’s gonna deny every single little desire, citing that “he doesn’t need a snot-nosed brat moochin’ off his bank account”  
• In fact, he’s gonna go out and shop for a bit to prove how much he doesn’t need a kid on his (already dwindling) bank account!  
• But when he sees a child that looks like a pretty good split of you and him, the curse takes effect, and he becomes overwhelmed by the thoughts of family 
• Suddenly it’s fantasies about “HIS spouse” or “HIS kids” and “HIS Family”, he wanted it all, something that his brothers didn’t have.  
• “Maybe just one would be good... maybe...” He’s lying, he wants more than one. 
• He's become so obsessed with the idea that his shopping trip became one for all sorts of family memorabilia, from onesies to cribs, he’s planning all sorts of things 
• He's even gone as far as looking at homes and apartments that would be good for starting families. Anything for those kids. Anything for his spouse and children.  
• When he gets home, he’s quick to find you and become extra protective.  
• “Hey! Don't touch them!” “quit being so rough with them!” “Be careful when going down the stairs!” “actually just take the elevator!” “you know what? Let me just carry you!”  
• He becomes so bad that he begins monopolizing every minute of your time, keeping a hand on you during all hours. He even proposes that you spend the night in his room. If you agree, he carries everything you would need for a few nights in his room.  
• It’s then that he reveals how he wants to start a family with you, admitting his feelings through red cheeks and desperate glances at the ground, he wants to have a family with you, and he wants it very soon.  
• It’s not until Solomon carves a child out of a melon and breaks the curse does he finally come back to his senses, where he tries and denies everything once again, but he has promised that one day he’d give you any sort of family you desire.  

• In the beginning, he felt like he’d be way more jealous of his own child than he should be, so he thought he’d be immune from the effects of the curse.  
• “Children also don’t understand the value of all my collectibles! Can you imagine a kid getting ahold of my collection?! Dah! The thought sent chills down my spine!”  
• And then he saw a loving couple in an anime of his. The bond they shared while caring for the child, how happy the dad was with his partner and child, how the dad described how he loved the person that he and his partner created 
• Could that be us? Could that even be slightly like us?  
• Next thing he knew he was looking up experiences that other otakus have with children, and he discovered how cute they can be, and how they can share moments of them experiencing their favorite animes for the first time, beating that boss for the first time, listening to that one song for the first time  
• He had to have one, it wasn’t fair! He wanted one so bad.  
• He begins sequestering himself away because he doesn’t want to admit that he has these feelings, and felt like there was no way in the world that you’d even humor him 
• But if you go and check on him, he’s immediately red as he looks at you with his mind hazy from the idea of starting a family with you. He’s begging for your attention, despite his “weird thoughts”  
• He wants to start a family with you so bad, it’s not fair, he wants a child so bad that it’s not fair, it’s not fair how other people can have happy families of their own and he doesn’t, 
• “You’ll provide one right? We can make one right?”  
• He’ll beg for you to hold him while comforting him through this jealousy attack, as he’d be too embarrassed at first to even suggest trying to make a child, but he’d look at you lustfully all night while he accepts the affection he begged for.  
• It’s not until Solomon makes a child out of flowers that he finally calms down as the curse is broken. He immediately apologizes about everything, but he’s now more open to the idea of starting a family with you 

• Satan, much like his elder brothers, is rather opposed to the idea of a child.  
• If anything, cats would be his children just fine (Damn Lucifer for banning him from having cats)  
• But it would have been quite a surprise to see a child out in a cat onesie that had similar facial features to you and blonde hair. That lit a fire in him as his imagination ran wild.  
• Realistically, he knew that was just a fluke, but that didn’t stop him from secretly reading books on parenting, the experiences of parenting, and how certain people feel as if their life is enhanced by the people they brought into the world.  
• Maybe it was because the circumstances of his own birth were so strained that he never got to have a childhood, but the idea of giving a perfect childhood to another sparked something in him. The idea of watching you gently cradle a child that was created by both you and him healed something in him 
• Oh, this was bad. This was horrible.  
• He starts monitoring your diet a bit closer, keeping an eye on your day-to-day activities, and if you’re AFAB he’s paying attention to your schedule.  
• Eventually, he’s so engrossed about books about parenting that he’s reading nothing but them, and also paying attention to names he’d love to give to a child.  
• If you check on him in his room, he’ll start asking about what your wishes for the future are, how many you’d want, and he’d begin planning out all of it. It won’t be long however until he holds you close and begins begging for a child of your own 
• He’s done all the research, he’ll make it the easiest time for you, and he’s already started to research name ideas for the child. He wants to be happy with you and the potential children, and he’ll protect you and his family.  
• It isn’t until Solomon carves a child out of bamboo does he calm down enough to have a clear head. Afterward, though he states that if you ever want to start a family, he’ll be ready.  

• He’s the first of the brothers to actually want a child, but he’s expressed that plenty in the past.  
• He’s in love with you, he’s in love with himself, he’d be in love with the child you two produce. 
• A child of his and yours would be the most unstoppable, lovable creature to ever exist. Part of him of course recognizes that there’s a chance for that child to get more attention than him, but oh did he love the idea of getting closer to you through the process of making the child.  
• He thinks that anything that the curse won’t affect him too much because he’s already ready to accept that he wants a kid. As a result, he’s got shopping that he wants to get done, and heads out.  
• However, the minute he sees a kid that somewhat resembles the both of you while he’s out, it’s over. The curse takes hold of him and he becomes absolutely obsessed with nothing but the idea of having a child with you.  
• He’s sending you pictures of nurseries and playrooms for potential kids, He’s taking pictures of baby clothes and shopping for the most fashionable strollers. He’s sending you MASSIVE lists of names that would be perfect for your child, including ones he’s hearing while he’s out.  
• When he returns, he’s upset that you aren’t at the door to greet him, nor are there little Asmo’s running around to greet him either. He’s quick to remedy that by opening his phone and beginning to furiously text away.  
• He eventually begs for your attention, expecting you to come to his room and talk with him about something important, and he needs you there now 
• If you go and check on him in his room, he’s extremely broody and he immediately takes the chance to grab ahold of you and bring you down onto his bed.  
• He immediately talks about sweet nothings, how you two should start a family, how creating something so beautiful is your responsibility, how if you raise such a child the world would be a better place, and the creation has to be fun as well, right? (if you are AMAB, he’s already asked Solomon how to combine pieces of both of you to create such a child)  
• It takes Solomon carving a child out of ice to cool Asmo off enough to clear his head. After Asmo had cooled off, he eventually goes back to how he was before, but he still agrees that if you ever want it, he’s happy to create a child with you.  

• He’d be chill with the idea of a kid, and he originally liked the idea of a kid because then he can use it to get exclusive kids' meals that he can’t order.  
• He was a little worried when the curse took effect, not knowing how he would act, but maybe if he really tried hard, it wouldn’t affect him too badly.  
• However, it only takes a video where a chef creates all sorts of smaller versions of his own dishes for his kid that sparks something in him.  
• He at first treats it as hunger, so he raids the House of Lamentation’s fridge of all there is, but naturally he feels a little less hungry, but the feeling he had earlier only gets stronger as he begins to think about you. What would a kid between the two of you look like? What sorts of food would they enjoy? Would they also eat anything like him? Would one of them be sleepy like Belphie? He needed to know.  
• He informs you of his intense desire to eat, and if you decide to cook for him, he’ll meet you there.  
• Domestic life fills his mind as he sees you cooking, and he can’t help but hug you from behind. This would be normal if he didn’t also gently kiss your neck as well. if you ask what’s up, he out of the blue asks your opinion on kids. How many do you want? Do you want boys or girls? What names would they have? Do you think they’ll have his appetite? 
• He expresses his desire for a whole family of kids, a minimum of 4, as he didn’t want any of them to be lonely, he grew up a twin, so he can’t imagine anything but having a large family.  
• It’s clear the curse has taken full effect, as he grips you closer to him, telling you more and more about his plan for a large family with you, how he’ll play with his children until they’re all tired at the end of the night, how they’ll have big meals together, how each night he promised to pamper you still 
• He refuses to let go of you, and any attempt at his brothers approaching is met with incredible strength, until he finally sequesters the both of you in his room.  
• It's not until Solomon carves a child out of a cucumber that he finally calms down enough to let you go, but he assures you that all the desires for a family were real, but he could wait a bit longer until you were ready.  

• Oh, he hated the idea of a child, mainly because he likes his sleep. Kids are way too noisy. Also, if you have a baby, you can’t be the baby. They’ll just tire him out even more, he’d just rather it be him and you.  
• However, as the curse begins to take effect, he begins having dreams where you’re a happy family with a child that peacefully rests in your arms, with hair like his but features like yours. He dreams of cuddling both you and the child, and how the child grabs ahold of his jacket and peacefully sleeps while sandwiched between the two of you 
• When he awakens, he’s disgusted with his own dreams, but he also feels like something is missing. He looks at his arms where his dream child made of clouds once was, and began missing that feeling in his arms.  
• If you stumble upon him in his nap spot, he pretends to be asleep until you get close enough for him to grab you, pulling you into his nap, laughing and giggling the whole time as he kisses your face. It’s somewhat of a relief that the curse is supposedly not affecting him as much.  
• But he’s full broody, he’s still bothered by that space in between you two, how empty it feels. He could pull you closer and closer but it still feels empty.  
• He asks out of the blue if you love him, and you of course confirm you do, and he tells you about this emptiness he feels. He increasingly wants you and you alone to himself, and he wants the company of only one other, one that is you, but not you, but is also him.  
• When he compares his feelings back to his dreams, he realized the yearning he was feeling was that of a child between you two. He began holding you even tighter, all in vain to fill that void 
• He realizes that the only way to potentially fill this void was maybe to try for one, which he proposes to you. He doesn’t care where you both are, but he also doesn’t like the idea of his brothers being near you either right now. He wants to make sure that you’re safe, and that it’ll be just you three. If you agree to be squared away in his room with him, he’ll kiss and cuddle you as he asks you what you’d name the child, what they’d look like,  
• It's not until Solomon creates a child out of cabbage that Belphegor finally calms down, saying once again that he doesn’t want children, but he wouldn’t be opposed in the future if you really want them.
