Work Text:

Lately you've been stuck in bed, not physically, but everytime you try to get out an invisible weight sits on your chest. You feel stuck, you're tired but no matter how much you sleep you wake up more exhausted than before.

Many have noticed, you used to go down to breakfast, but you never ate much. Chewing was too much of a chore, afterwards you would go back to your room to lay down and play on your D.D.D, but even that wasnt as exciting as it used to be.

Satan likes to sit in bed with you and read you his favorite books while playing with your hair, you desperately try and stay awake until the next chapter but he reassures you that it's alright.

He will put on different voices for the characters to hear your small laughs. Once he notices you drifting off he talks lower and tones down the voices. Once hes sure your asleep he carefully sets down the book, and gently lays down to cuddle with you.

Occasionally you wake up to Levi bringing movies to watch in your room but you almost always fall asleep half way through. Feeling helpless as a familiar weight droops your eyelids and a sigh escapes your lungs as you sink into his side.

A familiar feeling of dread sinking into your bones as unexplainable anxiety bubbles up your throat. Your stomach turns with nausea as you cling desperately to the otaku next to you, grounding yourself as you stare at the screen.

Levi would run his hands through your hair, you cringe at its current state, you haven't showered in a few days, just the thought of standing there long enough to wash your hair made you tired. He would leave small kisses on your forehead, asking if you would like to cuddle.

He knew what it was like to feel this way, there were times he was stuck in his bathtub bed and you would care for him, he would always return the favor when you weren't feeling well. And now is that time.

He lays you down and lets you get comfortable before sliding up behind you, his chest to your back, with the laptop infront of you. You both would fall asleep to the show, holding his hand while he gives you small kisses to whatever skin he could reach.

In the morning you would be awoken by Asmodeus, as he kisses you awake Levi leaves promising to come by again later. Asmo will then help you to breakfast. He even offered to feed you a few times and as tantalizing as it seems you denied, telling him you can feed yourself.

Once done with breakfast, you slide whats left to beel before going back to your room. Asmo constantly dotes on you, he helps you brush your teeth, he washed your hair once while you leaned your head over the bathtub, but you quickly got tired of the position you were in.

Once you slide back under the covers and asmo retires for the night, its Lucifers turn to make sure you are feeling alright. He brings a few records along with a small record player. Once a song is on he slides into bed with you, facing each other with your head under his chin. He hums the tune to you while rubbing the small of your back with his thumb on one hand and holding your head in place with the other.

He gives you gentle kisses, on your forehead, cheeks, and nose, telling you that it's ok to feel stuck in life and sometimes he feels the same way, stuck in a never ending cycle desperate for escape.

He whispers a quick apology before leaving the bed, telling you that he has work that is dire and leaving you with the record player. The twins quickly flood in, beel to your left and belphie to your right as they cuddle you in a squished sandwich.

Beel brought snacks that make him feel better when he's sad, and belphie offered to check up on you in your dreams when you sleep. Until then they coddle you, belphie says he understands feeling constantly exhausted. He always feels the tug of sleep at every waking moment and that only makes him more tired.

Beel tells you that his hunger is more tiring than others would think, he's often losing sleep to his hunger and when he first fell the feeling of hunger ached and hurt and he was absolutely fatigued from the desperation to fill his never ending appetite.

They both held you close, sleep quickly taking belphi as your eyelids weighed shut, while you sleep belphie visits in your dreams, he holds you close, running his hands through your hair, kissing your hands. He asks if you want to talk about anything without having to be scared of others hearing. If you accept he gratefully listens before leaving you to your dreaming.

When you open your eyes to Mammon who is now in front of you, you must have slept through the twins leaving. He mumbles that he hasn't been able to spend time with you yet, he kisses your forehead, holding you as if you might break any second. You press yourself into him, feeling the warmth radiating off of his chest.

He talks about how he also struggles with these feelings, when his brothers go overboard with the insults, when he gets in trouble for something he didn't do. He desperately clings to you now, pressing his cheek to your forehead.

You hold him closer, pulling him closer to kiss his cheek, he blushes before quickly pressing his face back to your forehead. You feel the heat from his face as you give his knuckles soft kisses, he asks if your ready to go back to bed.

As you drift off you are reminded of how loved you are down here. How you can turn to anyone about anything and they will gladly help you, take care of you, listen to you. You treasure every moment you have with them and you know that no matter how your feeling, they will always care for you.
