Ao3: Here

a/n: I have like 3 other fics im working on, one being where he helps you on your period but apparently thats too soft for my brain because it told me that I needed to write something where Sylus kills for you because I wanted to feel something. Please read the content descriptions, If you aren't comfortable with violence, you can skip to after the break.

It was late, work went longer than expected and you were exhausted. Usually, Sylus would pick you up when it was this late but he had what he called a "non negotiable meeting". He offered to have Luke or Kieran pick you up or order a ride but you refused, stubborn as ever. You were a capable hunter, and besides you've done this walk hundreds of times before. Though, even yet, if Sylus couldn't be there, he did everything in his power to make sure you were safe.

The sound of the mechanical bird's wings was loud in your ears as Mephisto landed on your shoulder, Its eyes shining in the dark, almost like Sylus' himself. "You were waiting." You mumbled as you turned the corner to set off on your journey. Mephisto just turned its head slightly, ruffling its feathers.

A few minutes passed and you heard footsteps behind you. Your shoulders tensed as you put a hand on your gun. You weren't sure what happened, it happened so fast as the steps grew louder, faster. More steps than you could count. An ambush. Your body moved on its own as you turned to try and shoot at one of the men, at any of them. Your gun going off as your body hit the ground. Mephisto flew at them, his razor sharp beak aiming at their eyes. While he did manage to harm one of the attackers, the other two were still surrounding you as the third slapped the crow away.

"What's a pretty little thing doing out this late." One of the men said, pulling a knife out as they watched you try to reach your gun that was just out of arm's reach. Before you could grab your backup plan, the smaller gun Sylus had given you for emergencies, the second man stepped on your hand, making you scream in pain as you were immobilized.

"Eat shit." You hissed, not giving up the fight as you squirmed under them, trying to throw them off of you as the one holding the knife straddled your hips. You spit at him, and in return, he grabbed your jaw. His other hand held the knife against your throat. You refused to show the fear in your eyes as you felt the steel kiss your skin.

"You're too pretty to be using words like that, princess." The man spit. You tried to throw him off of you but the knife pressed harder into your neck. "Keep going and you won't be saying anything soon."

"That fuckin bird got my eye boss! Can't see shit." The third man said, trying to cover his eye to stop the bleeding. The second man spoke up in a mocking tone. "Suck it up, you got another one don't ya? Anyways, ya won't need to see in order to hear the sounds she's gonna make when we-"

The alley filled with black and red smoke. Your heart raced as you heard the sound of Mephisto, and then- "You should know better than to touch what isn't yours." Sylus said calmly, appearing through the smoke as the red and black coils snaked around the men's necks, lifting them in the air. You couldn't move, your body felt paralyzed from the attack. You could only lay there as you watched Sylus approach as the men were raised higher and higher. He looked calm but there was an anger behind those eyes, a fury. Your heart raced, the sounds of the three men that attacked you background noise as your eyes locked with Sylus. Slowly he leaned down to help you up, his touch gentle yet you could feel how tense he was.

One by one the men fell from the sky, each tendril releasing them one by one. As each of the bodies fell from extreme heights, their cries were silenced on impact. Falling to their death efficiently. You didn't see the bodies, barely heard the sound, as Sylus pulled you into his chest, blinding you from the event. You could hear his heart racing, his lips against your ear to cover the sound behind you. "I'm sorry I took so long, sweetie." He said, his voice tense as he rubbed your back slowly as if checking for injuries. "Let's get you cleaned up." He muttered as the coils wrapped around the both of you. It felt surprisingly warm, like a warm gust of summer air. In moments it was as if you were flying, being guided across the city and through the N109 Zone back to his home.

▬ ♦ ▬ ♦ ▬ ♦ ▬

The night was a blur, you felt numb, mentally and physically. Sylus didn't say too much, there was a look in his eye that you have never seen before. His touches were soft as he helped bathe you, cleaning the grime and dirt off of you, paying extra attention to the areas that the men touched as if to replace the memory.

After you were clean, he helped change you. A fresh set of soft pajamas, your favorite cozy fluffy socks to add to it. Slowly, he lead you to the bed. The smell of him filling your senses as you laid down. The images of tonight filled your mind, the faces of the men. How fast everything happened. The feeling of that knife against your throat. Your heart started beating faster as your body tensed slightly.

Strong arms wrapped around you, settling behind you on the bed as he pulled you close against him. He tangled his legs with yours as his hands gently rubbed circles against your skin. His lips against your ear as his words cleared your mind like a prayer.

"It's ok. Nobody will ever touch you again, you're mine. And I'll make sure of that." He whispered, his words sincere as he kissed your ear. "I'll make you forget everything that happened today." He said as his hand dipped under the band of your pajama pants trailing the curve of your hip.

You felt your mind start to melt as you focused on his words, his touch. The smell of sandalwood and bourbon against your nose as the feeling of his hand made you shiver. You felt like you were in his embrace for hours as he whispered into your ear, his hand teasing and grazing your skin gently but with purpose.

His other hand moved under your shirt, trailing up until he reached your chest. Slowly, he rolled one of your nipples between his fingers. His lips moved to your neck, kissing the skin softly before nipping, leaving small red marks down to your shoulder. His hand dipped under the band of your underwear, pads of his fingers brushing against the wetness between your thighs. You gasped softly, a hand moving around to curl into his hair, pulling his lips closer into your skin where he purred in approval.

"That's it kitten, feel every bit of what I do to you." He whispered, voice hot from the feeling of your hand in his hair. "You're doing so well, I love how you shiver when I touch you like this." He said as a finger pushed inside you slowly. Your eyes rolled back as you arched against the hand, moving your hips slightly only for his legs to tighten more, still tangled in yours. "Shh, relax. Don't rush, just enjoy it sweetie."

You felt your body tingle at each touch, each word he spoke into your ear. Your moans became louder, a second finger, and then a third thrusting into you at a slow, deep pace. You gasped his name softly, feeling your core tighten as his thumb brushed against your clit. "That's it sweetie, say my name." His voice practically vibrated in his chest, the praise making you clench around the fingers, earning a soft sound of his own pleasure from him. You could feel how this was affecting him against your back. His pants tight from his cock straining the seam.

You couldn't take it anymore, the feeling of him overwhelmed you. Your body clenched around his hand harder, pulling him closer as his thumb pressed against your clit, the friction much needed as your body tensed, a soft cry of pleasure erupting from your throat as you arched back against his chest.

Gently he pulled his fingers from you and to his lips as he tasted you. A low sound rumbled in his throat at your taste. "You always taste incredible, kitten." He said, his hands wrapping around you again, pulling you close as he nuzzled into your neck.

Your heart pounded, body craving more. You figured he didn't want to push you, considering tonight's events, wanting to focus on what you needed. But what you needed was him. You moved a hand behind you, finding the bulge that had been growing against your back since his touches began. He inhaled a sharp breath, slightly tensing before a soft chuckle tickled your ear. "Are you sure you aren't too tired? Tonight is about you." He said but didn't pull your hand away as you palmed him through his pants making him groan. You turned your body, facing him as you kept one hand on him, feeling him twitch under your hand and the other curled in his hair again. Your lips brushed against his.

"The only thing I want tonight is you." You breathed against his lips before kissing him. In an instant his hands were on you again, his body over you as he returned the kiss. It was slow, passionate. Usually his kisses were rough, fast. But tonight was different. Tonight he could have lost you. And it would have been his fault. He felt emotions he had never felt before as he moved your hands gently away from him, holding your wrists loosely with one hand as he pulled your pants down with the other. You helped kick them off once they got low enough. Pulling back from the kiss as you looked up at him.

After a few more minutes, touches and kisses, his own pants were discarded. He moved your legs onto his shoulders as your body was pulled down the bed, closer to him as he teased your entrance with his cock. You both moaned, shivering at the feeling as you looked up at him. You didn't need to beg, not tonight. He needed it just as much as you.

You felt him enter you, inch by inch as he stretched you. You felt every nerve in your body shoot with that sweet feeling. The stretch of his cock made your mouth open in a needy cry. His eyes watching your face, your reaction to him. It never grew old, seeing you shake in pleasure before he even began. He turned his head, leaving kisses on your calf and knee as his grip tightened around your thighs.

As he began to move your eyes closed, consumed by the pleasure of him. "I wish I could stay like this forever." You moaned, not even thinking as you said it. You didn't care, he felt too good and honestly, your words held truth. He chuckled slightly, the sound strained as he groaned in pleasure as you clenched around him. You felt him twitch inside you at your words, his thrusts getting slightly rougher.

"Keep talking like that kitten and I just might." He said, his voice rough as he lifted your hips slightly, thrusting down into you deeper. You cried out, hands moving to claw the bedsheets. "Seeing you moan under me, all needy. So wet and desperate for me. All mine." He purred as his thrusts got more irregular. Your heart pounded as you heard his words, your mind racing with thoughts and imagery that nearly pushed you over the edge.

His hand moved between your thighs, brushing against your clit again as he kissed your leg again, looking down at you. A thin layer of sweat was on his forehead, his hair clinging to the area. His face was blushed, his eyes glossy and lips parted and swollen. You looked up at him, taking in the sight of him.

You felt him release deep inside you, the feeling sent you over the edge as he fucked you through both of your orgasms. The sound of heavy breath filled the room as he slowly pulled out, your legs feeling numb as he gently laid them down as he climbed back beside you, pulling you into his arms.

His kisses peppered your skin, his hands held you close as he felt you relax against his chest. After a while he would help clean you up again, but for now he wanted to cherish this time with you. There was no rush. And tomorrow? Tomorrow was reserved for him to pamper you no matter what you wanted. He felt guilty for letting what happened happen tonight. He would never tell you, he knew you would know from the extra displays of gifts and affection. But nonetheless, he vowed to never let anything like that happen ever again.

No matter what.

Smacks and Snacks

Sfw, nsfw implied. Sorta just a little goofy idea I had that y’all’s brains can finish.

Mammon x Mc

You were laying on the couch in the common area, scrolling on your DDD when you heard Mammon and Asmo start laughing. You briefly glanced in their direction before refocusing your attention. You could hear Levi enter the room just as Satan turned a page in his book. Somewhere in the distance, you could also hear Belphie snoring and I’m sure Beel was in the kitchen while Lucifer was clutching his head over some papers somewhere.

It’s so boring. So normal. Oftentimes, this boredom is a gift when with them considering the consistent chaos you endure with them, but even so, it’s too regular.

Luckily, a devilish idea popped into your mind oh so conveniently. You couldn’t help but grin as the thought ran across your mind, imagining his reaction. Gently, you lifted up from the couch and shuffled over to Mammon, mischief now in the air.

“Whatcha doin?” Mammon said, feeling your figure press against his back as you rested your chin on his shoulder.

“Trying to see what you’re doing.” You responded, looking to his face to see the light dusting of red spread across his cheeks. You couldn’t help but notice how easily Mammon blushes when you’re touching him in front of others.

“I was tellin’ Asmo and Levi about the conversation me ‘n Lucifer had about Mephisto the other day.”

I’m front of you, you could see Asmo gushing over you two. “You’re so touchy with him, it’s so cute!” He smiled, completely opposite of the demon to your right.

“I’d rather not see any normie touching.” Levi looked toward Mammon who huffed in response.

Before Mammon could say anything, you spoke up. “I love being touchy with Mammon!” You exclaimed, grinning wildly now. “See, just like this!”

You reared your arms back, breathing in as they went back, and then swung them forward with as much strength as you could muster. The sound of the air whipped with your arms and two loud, resounding slaps landed perfectly on Mammon’s deliciously juicy asscheeks. The sound echoed through the room, ringing in unison.

“Ah! Fucking—FUCK!” Mammon jumped and stumbled forward. All of the brothers in the area turned to the sound of the ass slapping, looks of shock plastered on their faces. However, none compared to the tomato faced Mammon in front of you, eyes wide, mouth agape, and stumbling over his words. Once they registered what happened, laughter filled the room.

You wiggled your brows at Levi. “Still too normie for you?” You expected him to have something sly to say, but he was too busy wiping tears from his eyes to respond.

Mammon went to speak and stopped himself again, breathing in deeply. “Mc…”

You could feel yourself turning red now, Mammon calmer than you expected.

He licked his lips and widened his eyes. “I’m soooooooo gonna get yer ass.” A devious smirk spread across his face and even with the obvious embarrassment, you knew he meant it.

The other brothers looked a mix of intrigued, entertained, and bit mischievous themselves.

“Run!” Asmo giggled.

“Uh oh…” Levi laughed.

Satan shook his head while grinning and raised one brow at you, trying to gauge how you planned to escape the fastest demon in the house.

You had no clue, but, you still started to run anyways.

“You better run!” Mammon’s red slowly dissipated and instead fueled the fire in his eyes. “I’m giving you 5 seconds!” You heard him yell as you slammed the door behind you, racing toward the stairs and to the nearest asylum you could claim.

“4!”

You hit the stairs.

“3!”

Up you went.

“2!”

Which room?

“1!”

You heard the doors from downstairs swing open and shut and before you could even make a decision, Mammon was halfway up the stairs.

“I’m coming, Mc.”

You giggled in both entertainment, anticipation, and maybe even fear. Finally behind Mammon’s door, you closed it just in time and put your back against it.

“Hey come on, weak human, strong demon? Mc, I know you’re smarter.” He banged into the door, smirking through his words. “Gee, my room too?”

You tried to stop your laughs but to no avail. “Well I didn’t expect you to chase me down!”

“Well what’d you expect? Me to just let ya spank me so hard that it wakes up Belphie and to not want revenge?” He pushed his door opened and you fought to keep it closed.

“No!” You looked at him through the door, his eyes glinting with excitement. You needed to piss him off a little more. “I wanted you to take it like a good demon!”

He looked almost offended. “Oh, oh, okay. You did it now!” He pushed you back and you tried not to trip over your own feet. “Your ass is gettin’ it now.” He entered the room and shut the door behind him. “It’ll be the most tender it’s ever been! So good Beel’ll wanna eat it raw!”

He grabbed your hips and threw you over his shoulder, you tried to fight back, still giggling at Mammon. “What if Beel already wants to eat it?” You teased.

“Well then I guess he’ll be extra hungry! Ain’t no other demon should be allowed to wanna take a bite out of ya! Just me!” He threw you down and you fought him as he tried to flip you over.

“Well, you’re the one who said he’ll be hungry for it!” Each time Mammon reached for your hips, you shuffled to the side, and kicked your legs up, pushing him back.

Mammon tried to pin your arms down. “And I’m hungry for it right now! You won’t let me take a bite!”

“My ass is for you to see and touch, not bite!”

“Well if mine is available for smacks, then yours is snacks!”

You lost it at that one, laughter bounding from your chest, making you unable to fight him anymore. “I thought you wanted revenge!”

He finally got you on your stomach.

“About damn time! Lemme see those pretty cheeks!” Mammon’s fingers drifted under your waistband and started pulling downward. “Also I am gonna get my revenge, just thought I’d get a lil something extra.”

“You’re so greedy.” You got the laughs out now, catching your breath too much to be snarky.

“It’s in my name isn’t it?” He was a bit breathless too. His hands weren’t on you now, instead he was rubbing them together to warm them up. “There can only be only be one greedy demon, sure ain’t lettin’ a human take my title. Now…” His hands went silent, so silent that you could only hear your heartbeat reverberating in your ears. “I’m not warning ya when it’s comin’,” he paused, licking his lips, “but it’s gonna hurt.”

What are your thoughts on Hazbin? Also, fav song? 👀

Favorite songs: Stayed Gone, Loser Baby, Hell is Forever

But seriously all the music slaps hard. It’s so good.

Thoughts: many

I’ll start with the smaller thoughts and leave the longest (Alastor) for last.

Vaggie is pleasantly explored. I’m surprised in a good way. I also love Charlie and feel like her strength isn’t really on full display yet lol. Exciting.

Angel Dust—my son. Husk—my son in law.

Angel Dust and Husk—I didn’t catch the vibe the first watch through but the second time? Oh they’re gonna be in love later if they aren’t already. I rarely care about ships but I LOVE this one. Good job Hazbin.

I really do like the Vees. They’re clearly antagonists and represent negative effects of social media and technology influence among other things. I mean no they aren’t likable as people, but I certainly like them as characters. I’m excited to see them more.

Everyone else is just fun. I love the found family/home vibe of the hotel. It’s so comforting to me.

Now really, my favorite is Alastor. Shocking I know.

Currently I can’t take my focus off of him. My gut told me he’s a good character to latch onto, and I feel like my gut was right.

I always want a happy ending for my blorbos and I feel like I hit the jack pot here bc he seems like a chaotic “control the game board” type of character (like Izaya, Shigure, Mephisto, etc.). But I think he’s ultimately going to be a benevolent force in the story for what the story is showing (redemption and salvation!).

I’m obsessed with his relationship to Charlie the most, but also I’m just very honed in on how his attachment to the hotel will change throughout the series.

Alastor is hard to read. He’s just a fun little guy. He seems sadistic and uncaring. Emotionless and like an overlord with pretty much no other motive besides power and freedom (regaining what he had before his fight with Vox 7 years ago is what his surface level motive seems to be).

But I cannot take my eyes off of how he’s puts a lot of effort into Charlie and what she wants.

In the pilot he says it’s for shits and giggles, and I’m sure he tells himself it is. But the way he is in the main series (meaning after the pilot) is just very questionable when you remember what he said his motive was. He does a whole lot more than someone who doesn’t actually give a shit.

Sure, it’s nothing for him to defend the hotel really. A mindless chore. But I started getting like ???? when Lucifer showed up. Lucifer clearly bothers Alastor (the frame was deliberately showing Alastor’s eye twitch when Lucifer showed up at the hotel and hugged his daughter). Then of course there was the hilarious “I’m a better dad than him” bit that made me lose my mind. Then in the second to last episode Alastor said “it’s not like you’ve ever failed to inspire before”—obviously meaning himself, has me even more like ???!!!! Something about Charlie inspires him and gets him up and moving and I just love that and want to explore it more and see what that brings for him.

The finale episode shows him starting to crack. He laughs at the thought of almost dying for his friends—the notion hilarious to him. Except he DID ALMOST DIE FOR HIS “FRIENDS”. And I think the reality of that freaks him out. I don’t think he’s very in tune with how he really feels about the company he has right now. Not yet. I really do think right now he’s focused on revenge against Vox, bc he’s openly competitive against him and clearly has a vendetta. I think that clouds everything else with him right now and it’ll be a problem later.

I’ve also gotta give it to a couple of other pals who basically confirmed for me that Alastor’s character is heading for redemption. The kind of redemption the hotel aims for (whether that ends with a place in heaven or not idk or care bc I just want him to have a happy ending with everyone). He doesn’t know this, or acknowledge this. But Charlie’s influence is contagious and Alastor is already infected by it a little. It’ll become more obvious later I think as everyone else around Charlie finds love and happiness in the hotel. We’re already seeing it with Angel and Husk and we saw it with Sir Pentious. Alastor won’t be immune from this I’m sure. Which is what I’m the most excited for. I want to see that man change—and he already is but I want to see more. I can see Alastor accepting salvation/redemption as a major obstacle or barrier and probably something very important for Charlie to accomplish, but I think it’ll be one of the best things in the series too.

Alastor is clearly the creator’s baby. He’s obviously the most complex and has the most going on internally. She’s said he’s existed since she was in high school. He’s important to her and important to the show and I can tell the show will take good care of him. I’m very, very excited for it.

I haven’t felt this excited about something in a while so it’s nice and refreshing. I love the show as a whole but I’m so down for Alastor and his arc. I don’t think I’ll be disappointed.

More SMT+!Yuu. The “default demons”

Last one:

Oof, this is a long one.

Just some points about the “default demons” and their personalities, Yuu has. As well as their dynamics with Yuu. Also some interactions with NRC.

Jack Frost: The first favorite child. Yuu carries them around like a plush. When it isn’t being carried around cutely, it’s marching behind Yuu like a child playing soldier. They are honestly like a child, they jump around curoius about everything and try to grab things. He-ho-ing their way into trouble. NRC thinks Jack Frost is just a bumbling idiot pet…until it freezes a room completely solid. Crouching moron hidden badass vibes. No wonder Yuu was so lax with it. Whispers curious questions into Yuu’s mind…as well as the occasional He-Ho!

Black Frost: The meaner spoiled older brother. They don’t come out much but they are definitely there for the boss fights. They’re a big bully and act as a type of social trump card for Yuu and the rest. NRC npc’s bullying (or at least trying to bully) Yuu? Here comes the giant overblot monster thing! Black Frost most definitely tries to make Yuu do more chaotic “petty bully” things

Alice: Die For Me! Would be so OP in twst. Blot would be akin to the dark attribute so everyone is weak to it. Meaning Yuu can basically insta kill almost everyone, except for the overblots. Plus imagine her demeanor around Heartslabyul and the unbirthday parties. She would creepily show up around the school sitting on things swinging her legs whispering about death. In unbirthday parties she would hang out in her own corner. She would do the “mount” animation thing where she holds holds Yuu’s hand and skips around dragging Yuu behind her. Alice is the second spoiled brat and gets let off the hook by Yuu a lot. Despite the gang being increasingly worried about Alice’s umm eccentricities. Alice whispers darker thoughts into Yuu’s mind.

Idun: A cutesy idol who is peppy and free spirited. They aren’t well fit into NRC. She is the healer of the party and is generally what makes Yuu so carefree in this world. They can always rely on their healer for a patch up! Idun tries to encourage safe fun and tries to get Yuu to participate more in VDC. NRC students trying to take advantage of her kindness though will get a sassy tsundere attitude and maybe a slap (kinda like Eliza honestly..)

Mephisto: Mephisto is a curious one among Yuu’s demons. They seems less like a pet or servant and more like a equal force…a partner in crime. They talk to each other the same way a house warden and vice house warden would. Mephisto goes around the campus and sneaks around. He’s like Yuu’s spy. And they actually look around for ways back to Yuu’s world. Basically a second brains to the operation, the main source of “smart” companionship Yuu has. They whisper advice into Yuu’s mind about observations they might have missed.

Yoshitsune: The calm one of the group. A little honorable to a fault so.. sarcasm kinda flies over their head. They are a powerhouse in the group so their quite confident in their skills adding onto Yuu’s laxness in TW. They do the whole “I’m so gracious” act with their skills and service so when Crowley starts doing it they immediately see a rival and end up giving him a side eye for the rest of their time there. They confidently tell Yuu not to worry as their strength will stop any troubles. Hassoubu Tobi is just as powerful here than Yuu’s world.

Titania: Mother vibes. Kinda stuck up. She tries to romanticize the atmosphere. Is prissy about Ramshackle, tries to clean around. The Fairy Gala is a sore spot for her since she’s obviously the REAL queen of faeries. Was 100% gonna just light that greenhouse up and had to be stopped. Kinda judges Malleus at first but warms up to him. Puts people to sleep when Yuu wants to sneak around. She whispers worries and cutesy delusions into Yuu’s mind.

Metatron: An absolute lawful-good. Just a Riddle Sebek combined. Sings Yuu’s praises the same way Sebek does to Malleus. Yuu just kinda smiles. Maybe their bashful, maybe their annoyed, maybe their even happy. Doesn’t matter; it’s a blank smile of hidden insanity. But metatrons an absolute powerhouse so… They want to smite down anyone who messes with Yuu. They try to give advice to Yuu but in a complete respectful way trying hard not to ‘criticize’ them or imply they don’t know something.

Trumpeter: A quiet creepy one. Whenever an overblot occurs it’s trumpet could be heard from the other side of campus. Its quiet demeanor spells it as a harbinger of doom.

Night Raven Collage was a odd place. With so many magical prodigy’s in one place NRC was bound for trouble. But the image of a pale little girl in a blue dress with a deathly look in her eyes skipping down the hallway dragging a unimpressed student behind them was certainly an odd sight. The little girls aura was even more of a mystery. It’s felt of death and blot, as if all of humanities ugly was morphed into a human form. It looked human but was obviously not. The unimpressed student behind the girl looked neutral, almost exasperated at the antics of the skipping death of front of them. They made their way towards the lunch room, the sea of students in their path parting in the wake of such a creature. What an odd sight. Maybe someone should snap a photo…

People had attempted to bully the “magicless” student before. The first time the prefect just walked past them, not even sparring a glance…the second time.

The prefect looked down at the cowering students. Their form was shadowed by the beast behind them. Jack Frost laughed in their arms practically trying to jump out of them. Behind Yuu was something that looked awfully similar to the snowman except it was jet black with purple accessories. It’s red eyes shone as it’s body blocked out the sun behind it, but even shadowed it’s growing grin was visible to the students it towered over. The students to their credit thought quick and launched fire attacks at it thinking it would be weak to them like the Jack Frost Yuu was always carrying around. But the giant creature didn’t even flinch at each attack opting to instead laugh out a distorted sound. This felt of an overblot. Negative emotions swirling to the point of physical form. All controlled by a seemingly “magicless” student. The students cowered below the three figures as death quickly approached. But just as it materialized it was gone. All they saw when lowering their shaking arms was the shoes of the prefect walking past them, once again not even sparring them a glance.

Grim wasn’t expecting extra company when he decided to join the prefect in ramshackle. Turns out ghosts are less scary when put next to magical beings and monsters of epic proportion. Grim got used to most of them, he and Black Frost got along while Jack Frost was considered his “second henchmen” ; it looked more like two 6 year olds playing follow the leader in the backyard. Grim was unnerved by Alice and annoyed by Metatron. But over time he got used to his new , “family”. If any of them were to cross the line he could just tell Yuu and all would be forgiven…to an extent. But one sleepless night when he woke to Yuu gone from the rickety bed he met a new demon he hadn’t seen before. Yuu was capable of pulling out new demons from the crevices of their subconscious or at least that’s what Yuu told Grim. But, as displayed during the most recent fight, it was often flashy and draining for the Prefect. They usually stuck with their current team, all with their own quirks and traits. Grim didn’t see the Prefect any more tired than they were on a normal basis, actually this might have been the most “energetic” he’d seen Yuu outside of battle. In front of Yuu stood a tall pale man. His features were spindly and outfit reminiscent of jesters and clowns. But his dark hair that seemed to drape over his face and devilish eyes seemed to suggest much higher regality than a mere clown. He had his arms outstretched and was talking to Yuu in what seemed like a dramatic and important conversation. Yuu was leaning against the wall, posture suggesting lax and comfort. Unlike with their other servants which they had usually an air of authority around, this seemed like a meeting between two co-workers. Yuu, despite the lax disposition, had their eyes focused on the devilish man before them. They looked at him intently while he spoke and nodded along, even occasionally asking questions for which the man put his hand up to his chin and his eyes turned to slits, thinking carefully. Grim couldn’t hear their conservation in full not for lack of trying, but the conversation felt as if it were muffled ; as if Grim was hearing it vaguely through a wall despite being a few feet away from them. But he did manage to catch the name of the new demon. “Thank you for your insight and hard work, I’ll call for you if I need more help…Mephisto.�� Then the demon gave a bow and slunk back into the shadows leaving no trace behind.

:Yo does anyone know who the hell the magicless student is??

:The one with the monsters? Their names Yuu I think.

:Yeah, what’s ups with them?

:No idea.

: Dude I just watched them like run a million laps and not break a sweat

: hUh

: Yea, Coach Vargus is shaking rn

: You guys should have seen them at the bean fest!

: They shot like they used a gun before it was crazy. Even did this backflip and started rolling and stuff-super military vibes

: damn…why are they in NRC again???

: they don’t even use a magestone, don’t even think they have the one

: Yeah, they summon like monsters right? How do they do that without overblotting?

: YEAH!

: ALL OF YOU ITS 3:00 A.M GO TO SLEEP!!

: OK MOMmmmmmmm

[thebeingofeverything]

For the two characters ask:

Let's go full freak and slap Shiro and Lewin together

Send me two characters and I'll tell you:

Who would win in a fight: Ok A Shiro at the top of his game is probly gonna win this, but Lewin is wily and also the type to have obsessively studied previous Paladins like he's got a fantasy league in his head of the exorcists and demons. So, I'd say odds are 60-40 for Shiro and Lewin, but repeated fights are gonna give Lewin the win in the long run as he learns Shiro's habits.

Who would be a better roommate: They both suck but at least Shiro will be a marginally cleaner roomie. On the one hand, he won't be as messy and showers more, but on the other hand, you have to deal with him being such a typical bachelor and occasional visits from Mephisto to pester him.

Who’s better in bed: Lewin 100%. You'd think with all the "experience" Shiro has from his playboy days would give him this, but he's the quintessential frat boy whose entire knowledge of sex is insert plug A into slot B and squeeze boobs. He's vanilla as they come and the height of his kinks is probly doggy style. Lewin, on the other hand, is a certified monster-fucker and you know he's experimental in bed. A lot more fun and up to being creative and learning how to please a partner, even if he's probly lazy as hell in bed.

Who I’d pick to be my presidential running mate: While Shiro could probly be much easier to order around to get things done, Lewin is great at making ppl shocked and awed at his abilities and also incredibly smart. He'd be much more prepared for the kind of scheming politics takes and able to make sure I'm not forgetting anything or getting blindsided by my political adversaries.

Whose shoulder I’d cry on: In this case, Shiro. Both are shit at emotions, but Shiro at least has gotten some experience with raising the twins. Though they're both likely to crack jokes as a distraction, which is also fine.

Who would make a better parent: Not even a question. Shiro might have sucked in the beginning but Lewin would probly just pawn a kid off on Bon or whatever unlucky person he could find to watch them while he forgets to take care of himself.

Who I’d rather date: Sorry Shiro, it's Lewin on this one. Would I get annoyed at the mess? Yes. But Lewin is a much more fun personality that Shiro's to me, and can keep up better in a conversation over our mutual interests: demons. Though in the end I'd probly prefer Lewin as a friend (and we both chase some monster tail ;D)

Thanks for the ask!!! @philosophicalparadox This was hilarious to do lol

[journey-to-the-attic]

Ok but can we bring back Traveller IK with the Newspaper Gang??

Astaroth being super interested since both Ik and Paimon are deeply connected with the stars themselves, Ik being a manifestation of the cosmos and Paimon being tied to the stars of teyvat. (personal headcanon but eh.)

Mephisto interviewing ik with all her crazy adventures, definitely gonna be trending on the newspapers for quite a while. ❤

alecto gets ik to fight her, without any elemental magic, but weapons are allowed - except alecto herself never uses weapons, so it’s just her slapping ik’s sword away from herself with her bare hands whenever she parries (somehow she always manages to hit the flat edge of her blade, so she doesn’t get cut).

astaroth pesters ik into drawing out all of the teyvatian constellations she remembers and just sits there studying them for ages at a time, trying to draw them all together into a sky map, with ik and paimon hovering over his shoulder and offering very unhelpful comments like “i think pavo ocellus is a bit more to the left actually”

wiz refs alecto and ik’s duels and also spends ages in the serenitea pot, chatting with chubby and also trying to figure out just how the HECK adeptal magic works. ik also lets wiz borrow some of her gadgets to study, and within a day wiz has already dismantled her parametric transformer and is conducting a very thorough examination of each part

mephisto borrows ik’s kamera to take photos, and he interviews (though it’s really more of a chat) her so often that he has like twenty stories on the backlog at any given time. the most popular stories are of course the big cool adventure ones (encountering dvalin, azhdaha, fighting the shogun in the plane of euthymia, etc), but mephisto also insists on publishing all the silly things too (like the 2132 times ik has had to bring someone three apples)

[phoenix-before-the-flame]

Wha are your favorite blue exorcist characters and why?? I feel like you really like Rin but is there anyone else you really like? :D

I mean of course you're right, Rin my absolute beloved. That's son material right there. That's a great protag, takes a traumatic event no problem.

I also really like Shiemi which is odd for me cause i tend to not like the female love interest much and when i first started i was fresh from Naruto so i was afraid she was gonna be another Hinata but! She has motivations and interests aside from Rin, her powers develop at an even pace and her back story in an interesting one for sure.

Shima is another one i enjoy, honestly from the get go i figured he was gonna have relevance purely based off his design. Blue exorcist world has everyone with realistic hair colour so to make a side character with such eye catching colour i was just like, yea ur gonna probs do something down the line (and i was right). But him, Mephisto and Yukio are some good af gray characters that i really enjoy. (Yukio grew on me in the latter half when he started acting like that and i was just like 👀👀👀👀)

I didn't particularly care for Izumo and Bon at first (never a big fan of the characters that are mean for no good reason) but they defs improved over time. Especially Izumo (Also i barely remember Izumo's arc but i know for a fact it fucking slapped).

Also Shura ofc, the only thing i didnt like about her was her hair which the manga fixed :) (plus that backstory just fucked. Why all these side characters got good backstories man)

Guess i could've just said i like the whole major cast of characters lmao (except maybe Koneko, but i just think he's a bit plain), would've been shorter.

[kiame-sama]

So I have been rereading the blue exorcist manga and I have been reminded that Mesphito is actually a massive player (makes sense, he has lived a long time and wants to have some fun) and even addresses it himself; how do you think he would handle his darling exorcist finding out about his sexual experiences and then just assumes that he is only a pervert that wants them for quick fuck, and that his affections for them is only a ruse or a trick?

As a yandere, Mephy is the most dangerous of them all. Start to reject or deny his advances? He will snap.

Warnings; Yandere, mention of violence, mention of Mephisto being a player in the past, progression of insanity, stalking, obsessive behavior, get ready for the creepy themes~

~~~~~~~~

§ Can y'all spell 'fucked'? Because that is Mephy if his s/o learns of his escapades.

§ Certainly, he is an ancient demon who has seen the rise and fall of many an empire, it would be foolish to think he hasn't dabbled in anything and everything. But learning he is a player? Oof.

§ Understandably, you'll be upset. Especially if you meet one of his past flings. The things you will hear from them... Well, let's just say that Mephisto had better expect one hell of a slap, if not a bullet between the eyes.

§ He will most likely try to get ahead of the curve and tell you preemptively about his past and at least semi-talk about his 'conquests' throughout the eons. This may soften the pain, but hearing about him and his manipulative ways straight from someone he used, it's gonna hurt.

§ It will hurt the both of you considerably given that this time Mephisto is actually in it for the long-haul, and there is no fucking way you believe a word he says. Once a two-faced demon, always a two-faced demon.

§ He knows you met one of his past flings when you shoot him the next time you see him. Luckily, he was prepared for such an event, but that does not make it easier on him. He will move literal heaven and hell to show you that he's being true with you.

§ Expect small things at first; a gift here or flowers there. If you refuse to forgive or believe him expect it to become progressively more and more overbearing. Gifts of all stripes, texts, letters, random visits, yelling from your lawn, painting your house with his words of love and sorrow. You may even find him under your bed.

§ Run as far and fast as you can, it won't matter. He isn't letting you leave him.

§ He will be in your dreams/nightmares, he will invade your thoughts, he will be everywhere you look, he will be by your side when you sleep, he will walk upon holy ground just to stay with you. You thought Satan was persistent? Mephisto is that level of obsessed x10.

§ Running low on something? It's on the counter or at your door within moments.

§ Throw out his gifts and rip his letters? He will begin methodically killing off his past flings and leaving their heads in your house. Typically on the foot of your bed for you to find in the mornings.

§ Still you refuse him? He isn't above possessing you and forcing you to forgive him and love him.

§ Don't go to the Vattican. They value his loose alliance far more than they value you. He will force the Vatican to turn you over to him practically gift wrapped. If he needs to kill cardinals to prove he is not playing, he will. Hell, he'll go after the Pope. He will destroy cities and level mountains. You are not getting away. Best you turn yourself in quietly lest he destroy all that you care for and value.

§ He won't forgive or forget for the next millennia. Do us all a favor and forgive him long before this happens. Preferably early on in the gift and letters stage.

Chapter 2: Son of Corruption

Chapter 1

  It was late, the party went on way too long, but then again it always did. They were both at her room, Lissana had left for preparations and he was left to help his sister and inform her of the plan. Like hell he would see his sister unhappy like his mother was.

  "How long..." She stared at her clutched hands over her lap. He squirmed under the tension of the room.

  "Two weeks. We've been planing ever since. Gathering resources, calling on favors..." He expected her to scream, to slap him, to be mad, but she only tossed her arms aroung his neck.

  "Thank you..." He smiled. She gathered some clothes, personal items and put on something more comfortable. "Can you braid my hair?" She said in a smile. It was something dear to him, he used tp help their mom with braids all the time.

  "Of course" She sat in front of him at the bed and he started combing her hair. She started humming. He made a simple lose braid and gave a kiss at the top of her head. "Let's go..."

  They started climbing down the balcony and heading trough the grass. Lissana came to find them midway, greeting Mephisto with a peck.

  "Hey, how did it go?" He asked her.

  "I couldn't get in contact with them, but I have a place she can stay at for as long as she needs." Manuelle couldn't stay at her house, it would be the first place their father would look. "Are you ready?" She said turning to the girl.

  "Y-yes." Lissana smiled.

  "Good, let's go." They started walking towards the secret entrance in the walls around the manor, it was hidden trough a thin section of trees that grew all the way around. Mephisto saw his sister trembling, hands on her shoulders.

  "Cold?"

  "I didn't think it would be this cold outside." How could she? She never leaves at night. he thought.

  "Here." He put his cape over her shoulders.

  "Thanks."

  They kept on walking, the wall always seemingly out of reach.

 "So, where is she staying?" He decided to fill the silent walk.

  "I have an uncle that lives near the forest of the manor. Is near enough to walk to in the night." Lis answered. He frowned a little and she intertwined their fingers. "Don't worry, I'll be with her all the way and they promised to keep her hidden until it's safe." He squeezed her hand.

  "Thanks Lis... For everything. I don't know what I'd do without you..." she smiled "I... I lo--"

  "A-ah!" Their exchange was interrupted by a yelp from Manuelle, they looked back to find her being pulled back by their father with a firm grip on the end of her braid.

  "And where you bunch are going? I believe is past your bedtime." He glared at Manuelle. "And what about YOU? Aren't you a bit too old for midnight escapades? And taking your sister, nonetheless! Oh, and miss Roseville, I expected much more of a family girl like you..."

  "Don't." Mephisto's voice was a whisper.

 "Don't what? Speak up if you want to be listened!"

 "Don't you speak to her like this! Don't you treat Manuelle like a thing! And..."

  "And? And what? 'Don't tell me what to do'? 'Don't underestimate me'? Have you yet to grow a spine?" He laughed. "You're soft, boy, just like Rose was..."

 Manuelle fell from his grip into the ground, Lissana went to help her in a heart beat, her mind racing, trying to understand what just happened. Her eyes flicked between them, Malu's hair seemed cut, the ends resting in her father's hand. Her blood went cold as her eyes finally rested on her fiancé's hand, a black smoke slowly dripping from it and pooling around his feet.

 They searched and searched for the experiments around the manor, the theory was that they were being kept at the basement, but it never occurred to her. Maybe it was their proximity, maybe she just couldn't believe someone would do that to his own son, yet here Mephisto was, corrupted. His father had a wicked smile in his lips.

  "Go, both of you, I'll take care of him." He turned his face, black veins crawling from his jaw, his red eye shining unnaturally on top of a blackened sclera. "Lis!" He elevated his voice, snapping her out of her stun.

  "Y-yes!" She held Malu's shoulders and helped her up in a hurry, holding her hand and running trough the grass.

  "Code blue, C staff, out with the Cerberi" He turned and a chipped Yes sir was heard from the walkie-talkie in his father's hand. "Oh, and target the girls." Mephisto's eyes went wide as two black forms flashed trough them. He turned, flexing his hands towards then. The creatures stopped in place. Mangled dog-like forms, stitched and foaming. They inched forward, despite his efforts.

  The two girls reached the tree line, hiding in the thick, but small forest.

  "Malu, hey, Malu!" Lis held the younger's head between her hands, grabbing her attention as well. "Are you okay? Can you walk?"

  "I-I can!" Lissana took a paper from her coat.

  "This is a map, can tou see this point?" She put a finger in a square shape at the end of the green area. "It's my uncle's house, he'll be waiting for you there, do you think you can go there by yourself?" Malu stared at her, mouth stuttering silently. "Manuelle!"

  "Yes! I-I can!"

  "Good. Take the map, forward there's a hole in the wall, you'll see the road for the gate, follow it, but don't let anyone see you. To the left at the street and then go until you see the red blanket in the front window of a house. Knock and ask 'Which is your bird of choice?' The answer is 'Hummingbird, to kiss the flowers goodnight', if the answer is any different run. Got it?"

  "Forward, road, sneak, left, red, knock, 'Which bird?', 'Hummingbird'."

  "Atta girl." They rose to their feet.

  "What about you?"

  "I'm gonna bring Mephisto back."

  They went their separate ways, Lissana breathed, fingers fiddling her golden ring. She left the forest.

  "Lis! G-get out of here!" The hounds were near, she rose her hand and they flew aside. "What..?"

  "Ivo Magnussen Roblare, you are under arest for unauthorized experimentation on corruption and use of black magic, the Light Order may decide your fate."

  "Ha. So that's that, huh? The Order. They never fail to underestimate their targets." He rose. "Code Yellow, send in the Worm." The ground shook and hands broke through the grass, and grabbed their legs, pulling them down.

  "What the?!" She tried to free herself, but soon her arms were also held.

  "Let us go, you maniac!"

  "Sorry, boy, but I have places to be." He entered the manor and they started to sink lower.

  The ground was cold and their strength was shortening. She didn't have a hold of her powers yet, and they were weak in this place. She felt a pressure in her stomach, like something was wrong. Like the wind had just shifted. A dark cloud emerged from the place where Mephisto was, she couldn't see him, only a faint red light. She knew what could happened, that's why it was a risk to be corrupted. Corruption feeds. Corruption grows. And the Dark Energy is fast and alluring.

  "Mephisto? Mephisto! Y-you have to control it! Don't let yourself slip! Mephisto!" The ground cratered around them, his legs soaked, dripping red. He started walking torward the manor. "W-where are you going..?" He turned to face her, his face was pale and the dark veins grew higher.

  "I can't let him escape. I can't let him live." He walked forward, throwing the doors out of the way.

  She stayed at the grownd sitted in silence for a while, the cold air colouring her cheeks red, her body shook, tears falling. She finally stood, trembling, and took a step hearing a crumbling sound at the movement. There was cement at the bottom of the hole. She found the basement.

Abel and Cain chapter 3

Man it’s been a while. I owe a lot of updates for various fanfics tbh.

“.....some first degree burns and several broken bones. Also she suffered from internal bleeding in the brain.” the doctor explains Shura’s condition to Mephisto who listens with a frown on his face as he observes Shura’s body closely.

A mere lower class or mid class demon wouldn’t inflict this level of damage. Heck even some of the S-Class demons would not harm a mere human to this extent unless.....

Those two idiots are in big trouble. Mephisto mutters. Rin meanwhile just stares at Shura’s corpse, his eyes losing whatever depth it once had. As weird as it sounded, the woman was like a mother to him and was one of the rare few that stood by him. Now she is gone and he bets that people would suspect him.

Izumo who was seated next to him still visibly shaken by what happened, eyes red and puffy from all the crying. He does not realize his body moving as he places a hand on his shoulder, startling the poor girl as she jumps up in fright.

“Hey watch it!!!” Izumo yelled. Rin simply stares blankly at her. That alone breaks her heart. Rin is no longer the cheerful boy he was used to be and it is obvious who is at fault here.

“I am not gonna pretend anymore Izumo. I am tired of not being who I am.” He says with a cold tone. She is shocked by the tone by which he spoke. “What do you mean?”

He sighed. Perhaps he can trust her with this. “Truth is Izumo, the Rin you guys have known for a while now is not the true me. The real Rin Okumura is a much darker and lonely soul.” He admits to her.

She simply glares at him, completely unfazed. She had always been suspicious of that because of that one time he talked down some bullies in school. “You know, I have always been suspicious of you and that brother of yours and now you have confirmed it.”

He simply nods, running his hand through his hair. “Bet you hate me even more.” It was then that Izumo does something very surprising and that is to smirk at him. “Well that makes both of us because I am not all that icy. Besides I kinda like you better this way as opposed to that fake persona you often put up even though it is kinda cute.”

She then stares down at Shura. “I bet whoever attacked her would return here. Probably to lure you out.”

“But what does not make sense is why Kirigakure and not someone much closer to Rin like that Moriyama girl?” Says Amaimon.

At the mention of Shiemi, Rin instantly flares up. “Never ever fucking mention her name again!!” He shouts, making everyone jump up in shock and fright.

Unfortunately, said girl was standing by the door with the remaining Exwires, all staring at him in stunned silence. Since when does Rin speak that way? At that moment, Shiemi breaks down in tears and just runs off.

“Why the hell did you have to speak that way Okumura?! Don’t you realize you have just hurt her feelings?!” Suguro yells.

Rin snorts. “Oh so she now has feelings huh?” He replied sarcastically, further stunning everyone in the room. Rin then looks up, shooting a terrifying death glare that made the other Exwires to shit in their pants. Might as well let them have it

“If she really had feelings she wouldn’t have turned on me after the truth about my heritage got out.” He says. Shina then says, “Hello your dad caused the Blue Night!!”

It was at this moment that Izumo acts. Getting up, she walks towards Shina and slaps him hard in the face. “HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO RIN THAT WAY?!! DO YOU ALL REALIZE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE?!!! NO ONE AND I MEAN ABSOLUTELY NO ONE ASKED TO BE BORN TO WHATEVER FAMILY THEY ARE BORN INTO?!! SO THAT BLUE NIGHT SHIT AIN’T HIS FAULT?!!” She screams at the others.

Rin then says, “It’s no use arguing with riff raft like them Izumo. Let’s go.” With that, Izumo stomps past the others with Rin and his brothers following suit, Rin not bothering to spare a single glance at them. On his way out, he brushes past his twin, not even bothering to look at or acknowledge his presence, Yukio doing the same thing. Mephisto notices this but does not utter a word.

Once they are outside, Rin then tells Mephisto, “I will not be attending the funeral. In short, I do not want to be within the same vicinity as those bitches.”

Izumo then nods. “Might as well skip out on that too.” Rin then shows concern. “What about Paku?” The purple haired girl then says, “Will discuss with her. Still it is kind of well...awkward being there with them and all....”

Without hesitation, Rin then says, “She and Paku will come with us.” Izumo’s eyes widened in surprise. “A-Are you serious?!” She exclaimed. Mephisto simply chuckles. “I kinda agree with him. Besides, it’s best we avoid unnecessary drama. Still you kids go ahead. I, Astaroth and Amaimon have some important business to attend to. Roku will take you home.” With that he and the other Demon Kings head off. Izumo thinks for a moment before nodding. “Alright. Will tell Paku.”

Took me a while to update this. My bad. Things are getting interesting right?

[dw-writes]

If I can slide in and askkkk, Yuki being soft with a smol little sister?

SMALL SISTER OKUMURA! Bless. Honestly, it took me WAY too long to think of which Yuki? I sat here for a long time going “Yuki.....yuki.....Yuki???” If its the wrong Yuki pls....tell me orz

ANYWAY YEAH HERE YOU GO I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT

“Hey, Four Eyes.” Yukio glanced up at the nickname, mouth open and ready to retort. When he did look up, his mouth snapped shut. It wasn’t Rin, like normal, but you, standing in their dorm room, hands on your hips. Your Exorcist coat was unbuttoned and hanging off one shoulder. A pillow was stuffed under one arm and a blanket under the other. He stared at you for a moment longer than he should have, prompting you to kick his chair as lightly as possible. “Yoo-hoo...”

He shook his head. “Yes?”

“When was the last time you slept, huh?”

Yukio’s mouth curled up in the slowest and most tired of smiles. “What’s sleep?”

“Haaah.” You threw the pillow and blanket onto his bed. “I’d expect that from Rin, not you.”

Yukio turned fully in his chair and glanced across the room at the sound of Rin’s name. The eldest of the three of you was sprawled out on his bed, one leg hanging off the mattress, deep in a peaceful sleep. You took your older bother’s arm and pulled him out of his chair, taking advantage of his distraction.

“Rin’s asleep, I’m ready for bed. Now it’s time for you to go to sleep.”

“You’re still in your uniform,” he chided through a yawn.

You flapped your hands at him. The motion brought your sleeves over them, and you started to smack Yukio’s arm with the limp fabric. “I’m in pajamas, dummy. My uniform jacket is just warm. I mean, how does Mephisto expect us to do anything in this dorm if it’s as cold as a damn freezer?”

Yukio rubbed his face, pushing his glasses up onto his forehead. At your swear, he peeked at you from under his palm. “You’re too young to be swearing, miss.”

You flared your nostrils at him and wrinkled your nose. “You’re only a few minutes older than me, so shove it, Four Eyes.”

“Please stop spending time with Rin, it’s ruining your sweetness.”

“That’s so funny, Yukio, I’ve never been sweet, and you know it.”

He paused at that, falling heavily on the edge of his bed, pulling the pillow out from behind him. “That’s not true.”

You picked up the blanket and wrapped it around your shoulders, flopping next to him, and dropped your head into his lap. He lifted you up by the shoulders and shoved the pillow beneath you. “Why isn’t it true?”

“You’re the sweetest person I know,” he murmured.

You made a violently loud alarm sound. Yukio’s hands slapped over your mouth with an almost as loud shush. You both looked over at Rin. Still completely dead to the world.

Licking Yukio’s palm, you stared up at the ceiling as he pulled his hands away with disgust. “Sheimi,” you commented. You tilted your head as Yukio fell back against his bed. “Hey, do you think everything’s gonna be okay?” you asked.

“What’s ‘everything’?”

“I mean...with Rin.” There was a silence that prompted you to continue. “He’s gonna be okay, right? He’s got us here...and we know what we’re doing. But I’m just worried that the Grigori are just...gonna decide one day that we’re Not Enough and take him away.” Your voice grew softer, until it was just above a whisper. “I know you and Rin have problems between you, but the three of us are all we have left, and Dad wouldn’t want us to get separated no matter what.” You lifted your hands and watched the sleeves slide down your arms. “Even if the Earth moved and all life ended and time just stopped...”

Yukio’s hand appeared in your field of vision, grasping your fingers and giving them a squeeze. You adjusted until you could lace your fingers through his own. Your hands thumped against the bed when you brought them down.

“If the Earth moves and all life ends and time just stops, the three of us will still be together,” Yukio whispered. You turned your head to look over at him. “Muskateers or...whatever it was you called us.”

You squeezed his hand tighter. “All for one...right, Yukio?”

He didn’t squeeze back. “All for one.”

Trigger Happy Demon (2)

ysjstjfs I didn't actually expect ppl to like it so uh here!!

-

(Everything Mephisto says isn't taken from Monokuma, but it has the same context) The gym was a large room, with a few seats in the front. You all chose to stand. "So...where's the headmaster? It's almost 8:30..." Daichi mumbled, looking around. "Right here~!" You all heard the same, cheeery voice, and looked at the stage. A small, white dog popped out and flew into the air, then transformed into a man. He landed perfectly on the stage. This man had a small beard, and purple hair. His outfit was ridiculous. His outfit consisted of brown boots and pink striped leggings. His shorts were white and baggy, like a clown. His blazer was also white and pink, and his shirt under it was pink. He had a pink cravat, and purple gloves covering his hands. His top hat was large, and white. He had a white cape, and the inside was purple. "...This has gotta be a joke," Bon scoffed, though he was not at all amused. "I'm not a joke! I'm Mephisto Pheles, True Cross's Headmaster!" He took off his top hat and bowed to you all, with elegance, an unwavering smile playing on his face. "Okay, but seriously. When's the ceremony gonna start? And where are the other students?" Daichi hummed and looked around, his hands stuffed in his jacket pockets.

"It has started~! Now, I feel I should give you all some vital information, so listen close, kay?" He stood behind the podium and eyed you all, before standing up straight and clearing his throat. "Let me just get straight to the point. I hope you all said your goodbyes to family and friends, and I hope you meant it well. At True Cross Academy, nobody is to leave!" He held his arms out and smiled sadistically at you all. He only recieved a few scoffs. "Alright, jigs up, man. You got us, scared us pretty well right there," Rin chuckled and crossed his arms. "This...is a joke, right?" Mephisto seemed to grow irritated. "I already told you! It's not a joke!" Next, you heard a growl of irritation, and saw Bon run up to the headmaster and slap him. Mephisto looked shocked. "You...just assaulted the headmaster!" "Step back!" Mei cried. "Huh?" He looked at all of you "I said step back!" She cried. He did what he was told, and just as he did, the hat on Mephisto's head exploded. All of you were in shock. You had no idea that that would happen, aside from Mei. It didn't even tick. When the smoke subsided, Mephisto was still standing there, with a brand new top hat. He smiled at you all, but looked irritated. "Now do you see?" "S-So we really can't leave?" Ami mumbled to herself, growing scared.

"Nope~! Well, yes, only one of you may leave, through graduation," He hummed. "Let me explain!" You all waited for him to start, sending wary glances to each other. "There is one way to graduation. You will all live in this school in harmony, in dorms. We will provide basic neccesities. Food, air conditioning, rooms, laundry, all that fun stuff. But what if someone were to...disrupt that harmony? Bring despair to the hopeful ones?" "What are you going on about, clown?" Hana glared at him. "I'm no clown, I'm Mephisto Pheles!" He sulked. "Anyways, you're all so late! I mean murder!" Everyone's eyes widened. Daichi even looked like he was going to be sick. "Murder?! We could never do that!" You cried, backing away from the man who had the audacity to suggest such a thing. "Oh, but you can~! Everyone is capable of letting out the darkness within them, even the most innocent creatures, such as yourself, Miss. (L/N)~!"

You felt sick. You felt like throwing up, or crying, or dying. You expected him to say he was kidding and let you all go, but he never did. He only laughed as more of you got scared. "This is not a joke, you guys! Now, let me explain some more, and then I'll get to the unrelated stuff! So, if one of you was to murder another, that person would get to graduate, and leave the school! Wouldn't you want that? Wouldn't you want to see the outside world? Oh! Also, I have cut off all communication from the outside world, so get to know each other!" It was silent in that room, all of you taking in the information and eyeing each other cautiously. It had gone from trusting each other to being suspicious of each other in mere moments. "Now, for student ID, all that stuff is digital We call it an e-Handbook. It holds your student ID and information about the other students there. It also holds the rules and regulations of the school. Please follow them, or you'll regret it~!"

Everyone reached into their pockets, and retrieved the small, digital e-Handbook given to you by True Cross. "That's all for now~!" Mephisto waved to you all, and disappeared in a puff of purple smoke. You took a look at the rules and regulations. "Students may only reside inside the school. Leaving campus is an unacceptable use of time." "'Nighttime' is from 10 pm to 7 am. Some areas are off-limits during this time, so please exercise caution." "Sleeping anywhere but the dormitory is seen as sleeping in class, and will be punished accordingly." "With minimal restrictions, you are allowed to explore True Cross Academy at your discretion." "Violence against headmaster Mephisto is strictly prohibited, as is destruction of security cameras."

"Anyone who kills a fellow student, and becomes 'blackened' will graduate, unless they are discovered." "Rules may be added if necessary." By the time you finished reading them, everyone was making plans to avoid the outcome of death. You had no idea if you were supposed to join the Elites, so you went to explore the school. Nobody noticed you slip out, aside from Yoriko, the pop star. "(Y/N)! Wait!" He broke from the group and ran to you. "Please, let me walk with you!" You weren't in the mood to argue, or die. You barely knew your classmates, so there was no telling who would kill someone right off the bat just to get out of there. "Alright..." You two set off, leaving the gym and walking around the school. The nurses office wasn't open to you guys as of then. "So, tell me something," Yoriko hummed. "Did you go to Misato Junior High?" You were taken aback by the directness of his question. You two had gone to the same junior high, but he never noticed you. He had quite the fan base in school, as well as out. "Yeah. I did..." In all honesty, you hadn't expected him to remember you at all. "I knew it!" He cheered. "I knew I had seen you somewhere before!" "You remember me?"

"Of course I do! In all honesty, I never thought you noticed me, but I wanted you to! I wished we had talked more back then..." "No, you were always surrounded, so it was pointless to try and talk to you," You hummed, looking around. "That is true," He sighed. "Gosh, I wonder when we'll be able to get out of here..." "Soon. If this is a joke, then we'll be let out soon," You assured with a smile. "But what if it isn—!" You put a finger over his lips. "Let's not think about that right now."

[exorcist-imagines]

How would every one including angel and Mephisto react to rin getting high on catnip and doing all this crazy stuff like going out to on campus slapping every one he sees or running in to walls

Not gonna put gifs on this one cause boy howdy that would take awhile, also I am super sorry it took so long to do this! And I also apologize if it is crappy, I kinda feel like it is....

Yukio

He would be confused and ticked

He would flip out on Rin

Calls him an idiot

Hopes he gets hurt so at least he will learn his lesson

Shima

He would find the whole things to be way hilarious

He will videotape all he can

Loves it

Unable to stop from laughing the entire day

Uses the videos as black mail in the future

Bon

His initial reaction will be to call Rin an idiot

Then he will just shake his head and laugh

Makes sure Rin doesn’t do anything toooo stupid

He will yell at him afterwards though

Miwa

He would have no idea what to do

Be kinda terrified

Worried about Rin

Also about what could happen

Worry wort indeed

Shiemi

Super worried

Mini heart attack

Tries to get Rin to stop

Panics quite a bit

Keeps an eye on Rin all day even if he slaps her

Izumo

Just thinks Rin is being an idiot

If he does anything to interfere with her she will slap him

Call him stupid when he is better

Couldn’t careless what he does

Will mind her own business, but maybe laugh a litte

Amaimon

He will be super confused

Doesn’t understand why Rin is like that

Will ask Mephisto about it

If Rin slaps him he will not hesitate to fight him

Wont care if Rin gets hurt

Angel

Just amazed at the lack of intelligence

How can Rin be so stupid

He will definitely tell the Vatican

Be super ticked off

Try to get Rin in all kinds of trouble

Shura

Oh boy she will get a good laugh out of it

Wont see it as much of an issue

Hopes she gets a video of it honestly

She knows he will be regretting it when it is over

She will make him feel kinda dumb about it too

More like a “fricked up didn’t ya? not gonna do it again right, if ya do I will kick you butt into next week”

Mephisto

He will seriously love it

Makes sure he gets videos

He will never let Rin live It down

Constantly be teasing Rin about it afterwards

Purposefully will try to do it again
