It was your usual day at the House of Lamentation, Lucifer was chasing Mammon around because he had stole Lucifer's wallet once again, Satan was reading a book in the House of Lamentation library, Beelzebub was in the kitchen eating, Belphegor was sleeping in the attic, and Leviathan, you didn't know where Leviathan was. You thought he was in his room, but he wasn't. Which was really surprising, to say the least. You were just lounging around in your room, trying to fend off Beelzebub from eating your snacks. That when you spotted Levi walking past the kitchen. You got up from your bed and locked your bedroom door behind you so Beelzebub wouldn’t get in and followed behind Leviathan quietly. When he went into his room, he shut the door behind you and locked you out. Again. So you gently knocked on his bedroom door and waited.
“Password!” Leviathan shouted from his room, waiting for the person at the door to answer.
You stated the password, but you honestly wanted to burn his door down with magic. You heard the door click, which meant the door was now unlocked. You slowly opened the door to find Levi in his bathtub bed, hidden under the weighted blanket you had given him a while back. You closed the door behind you and walked towards his bed. When you leaned over the edge of his tub, you found him burrito’d up in the weighted blanket. Looks like Levi had a bad day. Maybe you should cheer him up? Which is exactly what you wanted to do. You crawled yourself into the tub and wiggled your way under the weighted blanket. Which elicited a loud yelp from Leviathan. It seems Leviathan did not expect you to wiggle your way under the blanket in the small tub that Levi calls his bed. You placed yourself on top of Leviathan's stomach, laying right on top of him. Leviathan's face was flushed red from your bold actions. He took a deep breath and wrapped his arms around your waist with the little amount of confidence he had. Being the tsundere he is, he chickens out from doing anything more and buries his face into your shoulder, silently squealing to himself. You laid your chin on his shoulder and silently cuddled with him for a good moment or two. You then looked up at him and asked,
"You wanna binge one of my human anime's?" You asked softly, your warm breath brushing past his fin like ear.
He squirmed underneath you, but he nodded after a moment. You then wiggled your way out of the weighted blanket and slipped out of the tub. You fell onto your knees, then got up and ran downstairs back to your room for your laptop. Around 20 minutes later, you ran back upstairs and into his room, slipping back into the tub and wiggling under the blanket. Which elicited another yelp from Leviathan. You popped your head out of the edge of the blanket, then laid your laptop on top of the blanket so both of you can see the screen. You laid on your side, and so did Leviathan. You opened your laptop and signed into your account, which had a picture of you, Leviathan, and Mammon on the pfp. The pfp made Leviathan's face flush a deeper red. You then opened the streaming service you used to watch anime and scrolled through a few options before Levi pointed at a particular horror anime with only twelve episodes in it.
"That one. I'd like to watch that one with you." He said softly, getting a little bit closer to you.
"I don't know, Levi, that one's pretty scary. 'Junji Ito Maniac: Japanese Tales of the Macabre' is a horror anime. I don't think you'd be able to handle it." You say softly. You knew Levi wasn't a big fan of horror anime's. You also knew that Leviathan is squeamish to anything horror.
"I-I'm sure MC. I can do this!" He said, trying to encourage himself.
"Okay, if you're so sure of yourself." You said softly, hitting play on the first episode.
It went smoothly during the first few episodes, but during the third episode, he started squirming around out of fear. You noticed and grabbed one of his hands and intertwined his fingers with yours. He had slightly calmed down a bit, glancing over to you. He felt much calmer in your presence. You were always there to comfort him, even when he tells you he wants to be left alone. He admires that about you.
"I can switch it over to another anime if you want." You said softly, looking over to him.
"N-no! I-I'm fine, MC, I can handle it. I promise." He says, shaking his head no rapidly."Okayyy, if you say so, Levi. I just don't want you getting nightmares because you didn't put your foot down and tell me you wanted to change what we were watching." You said softly, turning your head back to your laptop screen.
The next seven episodes had Leviathan on the edge. He was terrified from how creepy the anime is, but he wanted to prove how brave he was to you. He wanted to prove to you that he could be strong like his brothers. He tightened his grip on your hand. He also scooted closer to you. He wanted to be close to you. At one of the jumpscares, he pulled you as close to him as he could, clinging tightly to you. You could tell he was scared by how badly he was trembling. You paused the episode and shut your laptop. When Levi noticed this, he looked up at you and stared at you in confusion.
"Why'd you pause it?" He asked softly, his head resting on your chest.
"You're clearly terrified. You're even trembling. You can't hide it from me anymore." You said softly, gently cupping one of his cheeks in a hand.
He looked down ashamedly, you were right, the anime did scare him quite a lot. He sighed and nuzzled into your neck. He snuggled closer to you and hid his face away from your sight. He snuggled closer to you and hid his face away from your sight. You sighed and ran your fingers through his hair.He took a deep breath and nuzzled closer to you. It’s like he wanted to cuddle with you. You smiled at him and draped your arm over his torso.
“Mc… would you like to stay the n-night- in my room?” He said softly, wrapping his arms tighter around your torso.
You nodded and he cuddled up closer to you. You placed one of your hands on the back of his head, and your other on his lower back.
He buried his face into your chest, only to realize you still had your binder on. He rolled his eyes and continued to rest his head on your chest. You ran your fingers through his hair some more until he had completely gone unconscious in your arms. You soon found yourself dozing off. You were still running your fingers through his lavender hair. Your eyes slowly closed until you had dozed off as well.
