Comfort spell gone wrong
Not only had the brothers been completely horrible the past few weeks but even your friends in purgatory hall and Diavolo himself had been too busy for you.
You understood that Simeon was busy helping Luke work through some things. But still, being brushed aside after the brothers had been so cruel towards you hadn’t helped your crumbling self-worth.
Solomon had heaved a big sigh and told you “They're demons Mc. It’s what they do. You’re going to have to grow a thicker skin. Besides, I don’t have time to help you with something so trivial.” Before handing you a page from a spellbook “if you really can’t deal with it yourself use this for comfort.”
You’d undeniably ruined Barbatos’s hard work when you’d tripped and tipped over the cake he’d been working on all morning. The demon had shooed you from his domain with barely concealed rage and asked you not to come back until “you can prevent yourself from causing me more work.”
Diavolo, despite always telling you you could come to him with your troubles, had snapped that Solomon seemed to be doing just fine. “So maybe you need to try harder, Mc. Rather than blaming your problems on other people.”
The spell Solomon had given you seemed simple enough. Although it was in an unfamiliar mix of Latin and Infernal. Couldn’t hurt to try though. At least not anymore than you were already hurting. You’d cast the spell, stumbling through a few words and thinking it hadn’t worked when nothing happened. Figures you couldn’t do it, you were still new to magic and just as useless at it as everyone had so kindly reminded you the last few days. It still sapped your energy though, stupid spell. You closed your eyes thinking that maybe it was better that the spell didn’t work. You’d never live down the embarrassment if anyone found out you tried to use a comfort spell.
Lucifer calls the others asking if anyone has seen you, after several days of radio silence from you. Solomon, Luke, and Simeon rush to the house of Lamentation once they hear you haven’t been seen for days. They find Lucifer and the brothers crowded around you, worriedly discussing the spell which has covered you and your room in vines. Babratos and Diavolo are already there, both looking guilty. Solomon feels his stomach drop when he recognizes the page from the spellbook.
“Lucifer, I recognize that spell, I gave it to them when-” Solomon begins
“Yes, it figures you would have your hands in this Solomon.” Lucifer glares.
It’s Simeon who steps forward to undo the spell, giving Luke’s shoulder a comforting squeeze on his way by. “Lucifer if you would,” he says gesturing to your form “this will take both our magics to undo, I believe.”
Solomon:
- Shit, shit! Solomon recognizes that spell! He gave it to you.
- It wasn’t supposed to do this, it was just a simple comfort spell!
- But he can’t help feeling responsible for what's happened.
- He feels like he should have known, should have realized something was going on when he gave you that spell.
- You’d just wanted to talk, but he was so caught up in trying to find a way to make pacts with the brothers that he totally brushed you off.
- He handed you a page out of a spellbook instead. And told you to deal with things yourself.
- Solomon is crushed. He has always told you that if you ever need to talk to another human, he’d be there. But he wasn’t. He told you to deal with it alone.
- When Simeon and Lucifer break the spell he is by your side in an instant.
- Hands fluttering over your body, brushing withering plants off you. Feeling utterly useless.
- The spell had gotten so convoluted and twisted in ways he’d never seen before, he hadn’t even been able to break it.
- You blink your eyes open, Solomon’s distraught face coming into focus.
- “Mc, I shouldn’t have given you that spell. I’m so sorry. I-I said I’d always help you if you needed me but all I did was hurt you instead.”
- He wants to distance himself from you. But he knows that won’t make you feel any better. It won’t make him feel better either.
- Instead, he’ll be far more careful with the magic he gives you. He’ll start teaching you more magic, so you can practice spells safely.
- But he’ll also do his best to make sure you never need a comfort spell again.
- He wants to be your comfort.
- Solomon will plan elaborate outings and magic filled dates. He gets all these grand ideas and half of them turn into disasters but somehow he’ll make sure the two of you still have fun.
- It’s easy for Solomon to forget that he needs to communicate better. But he’s trying. Instead of snapping at you again he’ll be sure to set aside time for himself. Besides, being in the Devildom is more fun with an apprentice anyways, plus teaching you magic gives him plenty of time to make sure you are happy too.
Simeon:
- Simeon is shocked when he sees you.
- A shiver runs down his spine when he feels the spell sucking the energy from your body.
- His eyes don’t miss the botched comfort spell on the ground and he wonders why you didn’t come to him.
- And then he realizes. You did. But he brushed you off to help Luke and even when you were hurting you didn’t want to burden him.
- He feels like he’s failed you by making you feel like you couldn’t come to him.
- When you open your eyes Simeon is the first thing you see.
- He gently brushes the plants from your face and hair.
- “Oh my sweet little lamb, you are never a burden to me. I am so sorry I made you feel you couldn’t come to me.”
- Simeon brings you to Purgatory hall while your room is cleaned.
- He gently untangles bits of plant matter from your hair, humming what must be some Celestial lullaby to you.
- “Mc,” he begins once he’s removed the remaining plants from your hair and skin, and you’ve allowed yourself to relax into him. “Forgive me, Mc. I should have seen how much you were hurting.”
- He is being so gentle with you. But his voice takes a stern edge as he tells you “Next time you feel like this, promise me you will come to me. If you tell me what’s going on I will always have time for you.”
- Simeon makes sure to check in on you now, to make time for you. He’ll invite you to Purgatory hall for dinners and/or sleepovers. Oftentimes Luke joins you. But sometimes he’ll sneak you in so the sleepover is your little secret.
Diavolo:
- Oh, Mc! He hasn’t seen a spell like this in centuries.
- He knows it’s a mistake, but the power it must have taken to cast this spell is impressive.
- He’s curious to know what kind of power you’ll have after you’ve been trained properly.
- That not to say he isn’t concerned, it's just he knows the spell can be undone, and he finds it easier to deal with the situation if he doesn’t think about how close he came to losing you.
- He’ll request that the brothers keep a closer eye on you, not that they weren’t going to anyway.
- Diavolo will scoop you from the tangled vines, brushing the remaining vines from your skin as he carries you from your room.
- He sits down on his throne, with you still held in his arms. For a moment you're afraid of his thunderous expression.
- And then his eyes soften. “Mc,” he whispers. Emotion making his throat tighten, choking off his voice. “Why?”
- “Why don’t you find a human who can do better than me Diavolo? You said so yourself, I’m a disappointment.”
- “Mc, I didn’t mean! I didn’t want you to-! I didn’t”
- He knows what he said. But he never meant for you to take it to heart like this. He was just stressed and he took it out on you.
- “I’m sorry, Mc. I shouldn’t have taken my anger out on you. You haven’t disappointed me. I’m sorry I made you feel like you can’t rely on me. Please understand that I would do anything in my power for you.”
- A frightening promise from the prince of the Devildom.
- Diavolo is careful to control himself in the future. To prevent himself from letting his stress and anger get the better of him.
- Careful to remind you how important you are to him, and not just because you are an exchange student, but because he cares for you.
Barbatos:
- Anger. Fear. Barbatos tumbles between the two emotions.
- It seems that by placing you in this timeline to protect you from Belphagor’s anger he has put you in a new kind of danger. One he didn’t see coming.
- This makes him question his decision not to look into the future more than necessary.
- Humans are so fragile. And this is just more proof of that fact.
- Barbatos is by your side the moment you wake up.
- He is lifting you to your feet and guiding you from your room.
- Barbatos is a perfect gentleman as he helps you clean up. Helping you scrub the plants from your skin, wrapping you in the softest blankets.
- But he remains silent the whole time.
- Once you are safely tucked into bed Barbatos speaks. “Mc, I know I have made you feel useless. I should not have taken my anger out on you. I should have known better.”
- For a moment you think he’s going to leave, that that’s all he is going to say.
- But then he asks if he can stay with you. If the answer is yes, he’ll curl around you in your bed. Holding you to him as if you are likely to disappear.
- It has been a long time since Barbatos has had something or someone he has been afraid to lose. “I’m sorry Mc. Please know you can come to me, even if I may be upset. I’d rather you make me face my shortcomings then lose you.”
- Barbatos starts having you over for tea more often. He’ll take you on errands with him, if he thinks you’d find them at all interesting.
- Mostly he just wants more excuses to spend time with you.
- This made him realize how important you are to him and he’ll make sure you know it.
Luke:
- Scared little sibling vibes.
- Luke is so scared to see you like this!
- You are so still and pale that he thinks you might be dead.
- When you open your eyes he is so relieved.
- Please don’t scare him like this again!
- He’s got tears in his eyes, and he half yells half cries at you “Mc! You- you can’t just do something like this. What if- if you had died? I know these demons-” he shoots a watery glare at the demons “can make you feel sad but you’re my friend.”
- He’ll ask you to stay at Purgatory hall for a while. He 100% thinks this is all the brother’s fault.
- In fact he wants you to move into Purgatory hall permanently and he is so insistent that Diavolo might just let you if that's what you want.
- He’ll make sure you know that he sees you as a big sibling, a friend that he could never replace “so please don’t think nobody cares Mc. I know we’re not really related but you’re like a sibling to me.”
