Chapter Text
"SERIOUSLY, ASMO!?" Mammon runs out of his room. Holding about 20 letters that got dropped through his window. All were neatly folded in a pretty envelope with a kiss mark on it. "20!? 20!!!" Mammon whines.
"This is getting extremely ridiculous." Satan agrees. Coming out of his room with the same amount.
"My whole bed is filled with them.. I can't even sleep.." Belphegor sighs as he lies on the couch.
"I found them even in the food I ordered.." Beel sighs. Throwing the letters on the floor.
"You think you have it bad? I have it on my PC!" Leviathan cries. Waving his arms in the air.
"Oops." Asmo merely says. Posing for his selfie, he was taking.
"OOPS!?" Mammon was about to burst a blood vessel before Eri walked in.
"Guys.. why are there so many letters?" They come out with just as many letters.
"Asmodeus seduced a witch. And just left her. Now she's sending letters." Satan explains calmly.
"Seduce is such a strong word.. we just had a drink together! It's not my fault she divorced her husband to get married to me." Asmodeus shrugs his shoulders.
They all groan in response. While Eri looks at the letter. About to open it before Mammon snatches it out of their hand.
"Are ya nuts? The letter is cursed, dummy." He bonks their head with the paper. Eri raised a brow.
"Cursed?"
"Yeeep. It's not the first time Asmo got these letters." Mammon throws the paper over his shoulder. "So don't ya open the letter, K?"
"Well, what happens when you open the letter?" Eri tilts their head. Their hand on their chin.
"It's a curse that extrats your demon instincts." Satan explains calmly. Crossing his arms. "All demons are aggressive by heart. It basically lets your instincts take over. Think of it as alcohol. It makes you let lose. If you're a demon, that is." He hums.
"And how long does it last?" Eri tilts their head. Looking at the letter.
"A week." Lucifer's voice appears behind Mammon.
"Eek!" Mammon screeches. "Ya always creep up on me!" He sighs. Holding his chest.
"We know that because of Levi." Beel hums calmly.
"Yeah. Levi went crazy! He almost tore his own room apart!" Mammon agrees.
"Hey! I thought it was a letter from the companies of TSL! You normies wouldn't understand anyway.." Levi huffs. Crossing his arms.
"I'm still shocked Lucifer knew how to deal with it." Beel hums calmly as he eats his pizza.
"Yea.. if you ask me.. it's kinda uncanny." Mammon let's his arm go around his human shoulder. Whispering to them. "I think I saw him have a whole book on how to deal with us if we went crazy!" He whispers. All while Lucifer was scolding Asmo.
"That's creepy.." Eri agrees with Mammon.
"Tell me about it!" Mammon pats their back with a wide smile. Eri turns to the letters.
.
After dinner, Eri goes inside their room. Just to find even more letters. At first, Eri shoves it off their bed before they pause. Remembering Satan's words.
"It's a curse that extracts your demon instincts."
.
.
.
Is it just demons?
They know their curiosity always gets the best of them.. they did get killed because of how curious they were.
It wouldn't kill them just to have a peak at it.. right?
And slowly.. Eri opens the letter.
.
.
.
It's blank.
"Seriously? Boring." Eri tosses the letter. But they were secretly relieved that they didn't die or something. They then flop on their bed.
Sooner or later, they started snoring.
.
"HELL YEAH!" Mammon cheers in his room. "Hahaha! Look at that!? Luck is on my side! I just won the jackpot!" He grins ear to ear seeing the amount of money he just got.
"I gotta tell Eri!" And the demon skips over to his favorite human. "Eriiiii~" He swings the door open.
.
Eri woke up to the sound of breathing. At first, they thought it was Mammon who.. yet again.. snuck in their bed. Tossing around to see if it was their favorite demon.
"Mammon..?" They mumble. No one next to them. Then who is breathing?
They open their eyes and turn on their back. And froze.
"M.. Mammon?" That was NOT Mammon.
Why did he stare them down like they were his next meal?
And why is he in his demon form?
Why isn't he doing or saying anything!?
Did he just stare at them the whole night?
"Uhh.. Mammon?" They sit up straight. No response. Not even a word.
You'd think they would be scared. He is a demon.. but.. he never really acted like one.. instead, Eri tilts their head with a smile.
"You look so goofy. Are you gonna come in, or what?" They said innocently. Opening the covers for him to enter the bed with them. Not putting the two and two together. Well.. can you blame them? Mammon never.. EVER gets mad. They think his just playing!
And the door to her room opens. "Eri! Mammon! It's time for RAD!" Levi calls.
Mammon turns his head to Levi. And apparently, what Levi saw scared him so much that he immediately shut the door.
"We'll be down in a minute!" Eri doesn't notice. Getting up and stretching their back. "You gonna get dressed or what?" They ask their demon.
Meanwhile, Levi stands out of their door. Feeling his legs shake and his face pale. "Lu.. ci.." He mumbles before he starts sprinting downstairs.
"LUUUCCIIIIFEEEERR!!!"
.
.
.
"Are you seriously gonna stay in your demon form? Not that I mind." Eri asks as they change in their uniform. "But Lucifer's gonna get maaaad~" They tease the blood thirsty demon next to them.
They turn around to see him. "Stop with that glare of yours! It's scary." They pout. Squeezing the demons cheek. No response from the Avatar of Greed. "Fine. Stay mad." They huffs. Walking out of their room.
"Morning, guys." Eri yawns as they walk with Mammon downstairs.
But all of them.
ALL of them.
Are on the other side of the room.
Even Lucifer.
"You... guys..?" Eri tilts their head.
"Eri.. we need you to slowly back away from Mammon.." Satan spoke calmly.
"Eh? Why?" Eri looks back at their demon guardian. "Is this a prank?" They put their hands on their hips.
"His cursed!" Levi says with fear.
"Huh?" Eri tilts their head.
"Just come here!" Beel quickly snatches them with them. But Mammon doesn't react. He merely stares them down.
"Why.. are you all scared? His not doing anything." Eri questions.
"That's the problem." Lucifer responds. They all turn to Lucifer.
"Lucifer.. are you.. scared?" Asmo gasps. Shivering with more fear.
"I.." Lucifer curses under his breath. Looking away with embarrassment. "I've never seen him act like this. His unpredictable.."
"So you are scared." Belphie says calmly. Standing up and walking over to him.
"Belphie!" Beel curses with worry.
"His harmless." Belphie yawns.
.
.
.
"Harmless."
Was he so harmless once he threw Belphegor out of the window?
