Obey Me! one master to rule them all

sometimes there is comfort in dreams

"Have anything off the menu you want, Yuki" Looking at Beel's smile, she just melted. He was such an adorable creature, nothing like the typical demon should be. "You said that the only thing you wanted was to make a pact with me, but I don't feel like that's enough. So, order whatever you want. Anything at all." looking down at the 'Hell's kitchen' menu, she began to check the prices of items before reading what they were. Looking at the more expensive options she then heard the screeching of the wooden chair legs against the cobbled floor as Mammon and Levi made their appearance. "Right, don't mind if I do! Time to order big... real big!" grabbing a menu Mammon then flicked to the page where the most expensive items were placed. Sitting across from him was Levi, who was also browsing the menu options. "ooh, they have food from the human world...! Like this here." pointing to the menu item he continued "This is what Minoka ate in Help! I'm an evil overlord! - how discovering that my classmate was a witch set me on a curse to become supreme ruler of another dimension. They actually have it here...!"

Pulling the menus out of his brother's hands Beel then spat "I said I was taking Yuki out to eat, not you guys. So, why are you two here?"

Leaning back on his chair Mammon then sighed "Hey, come on. What's the harm in havin' us tag along, huh? Don't be such a killjoy!"

"order first, we should. Talk later, we can" stated Levi as he took back his menu and opened it to the page where the anime inspired dishes were.

"Just so we're clear, I'm not paying for either of you guys." at the sound of Beel saying that he wasn't paying, Mammon rapidly sat up at this unexpected outcome. "Now come on, Beel. Even if there were ten of us here with you, we still wouldn't be able to eat as much as you do on your own. Payin' for us won't set ya back that much."

Placing her menu down, Yuki turned the pages back towards the cheapest items and gave a small smile towards Beel.

Shaking his head Beel returned the smile "It's not about the money." then he directed his glance towards Mammon and frowned "But I'm still not paying"

"Begin by ordering drinks, I will" stated Levi in a monochrome tone.

"You turnin' into one of your 2D characters again, Levi?"

Overhearing Beel and Yuki talk about why she wanted to form a pact with Beel, Mammon spoke up. ",,,Mmm, interesting. So, you're hopin' to get Lucifer and Belphie to make up, huh?"

"And that's why you decided you'd make a pact with Yuki, Beel?"

"Well, that's not the only reason, but yeah, we both want the same thing."

"Yuki, do ya really think you can do this? I mean, we're talkin' about Lucifer here"

Nodding at Mammon, she smiled confidently "I know I can do it."

Shaking his head Beel looked down at the table "I've always thought it was impossible, so I gave up on trying. But if you never try, you're guaranteed not to succeed, right?"

Shrugging his shoulders Mammon scoffed "if you ask me, there's no chance this'll work"

"This isn't a game you can win" Levi added whilst tapping away at his phone, presumably playing the latest mobile game.

"This is a family issue that affects all of us brothers. But think about it: has anyone ever tried to solve it, whether it was us or anyone else? Who's ever offered to help those two make up?"

Looking at Beel, Mammon then sighed "no one, I guess" agreeing with Mammon, Levi placed his phone down and spoke "Nope, nobody."

"sure, this might be impossible. We might end up giving up and accepting that it won't happen. But we can at least give it a shot before deciding it can't be done. It doesn't hurt to try."

Keeping quiet Mammon looked over to Levi who staggered on his words "Aww, but...Hmm..."

".... Well, now that ya put it that way, I guess I could help out. I mean, I can't deny that this thing with Lucifer and Belphie affects all of us."

"...Agreed"

"Then it's settled." And with that, Mammon and Leviathan joined Yuki on her quest to smooth thing over between Lucifer and Belphegor.

Grabbing his glass Mammon raised it up "Okay then! It's time we came up with a name for this team of ours!"

"...A name? Do we really need a name?" questioned Beel as Mammon slowly lowered his glass back on the table.

"'course we do! We've gotta figure these things out, get our ducks in a row before we do anything else. It promotes spirit, you know? Makes you more likely to succeed!"

Without hesitation Levi suggested "Evil genesis DEMONGELION."

Dismissing his idea Mammon shock his head "Nah. Too obvious. Everyone'll know where you stole that from. Could create problems down the road. We should give it a cooler-sounding name. You know, like 'Solomon and his 72 demons'" pausing for a moment Mammon continued "...Hey, I know! How about 'Mammon and his 3 servants'?!"

Picking his phone back up Levi gasped "...Ohh. this is the limited item I was looking for. It was out of stock on Akuzon, but now it's back!"

Shoving his food into his mouth Beel smiled "Mmm, this is delicious. The meat is so tender... I think I'll order another."

"Hey, come on, don't ignore me!" and so the conversation continued late into the evening, though it never got any less idiotic, the four of them had a good time, and that's all that mattered....

Upon returning to the house of Lamentation Lucifer was waiting for Yuki by the front door. "You sure are back late. Did you go out to eat with Beel and the others?"

"yeah, Beel treated me to dinner and then Mammon and Levi joined us."

"...so, Mammon and Leviathan were there too? I was worried whether they'd be able to put their differences aside at first, but it seems like they're getting along well. The repairs to the Kitchen are finally done. And the wall to your room is fixed, too. You should move back into your room tomorrow and start sleeping there again"

Nodding her head, she then walked past Lucifer with a heavy feeling in her chest. 'it seems that tonight is going to be the last night in Beel's room.'

Lying awake on the bed, facing the wall, Yuki heard the door open as Beel came in. "...Yuki, you awake?" he spoke quietly as not to disturb her from slumber. "well, either way, it doesn't matter. I need you to listen to what I've got to say." getting up on the bed he sat next to her as he began his story "You remember how I told you about Lilith, right? Well, sometimes I dream about her, and they're not happy dreams. They're the sort of dreams you don't want to have. Long ago, back when we were in the Celestial Realm, I asked her a question: 'Lilith, if you had to choose between saving either me or Belphie, who would it be?' she just looked at me and said, 'both of you!' now, everything I just told you really did happen... but when I dream about it. It doesn't end there, Lilith and Belphie disappear and I'm left all alone. Everything is pitch-black, and suddenly I'm falling. Falling down through a void..."

Turning to face Beel, she could see the pain in his eyes as he continued "Would it be okay if... if I held your hand. Yuki? For a little bit. Until I fall asleep." placing her hand onto Beel's, she began to interlock her fingers with his. "Thanks." drifting off to sleep Beel could hear a voice calling out to him. "...Beel....Beel...you've got to help him...you've got to help Belphie. Promise me, Beel. Promise you'll help him..." jumping awake, he looked down at Yuki who was still fast asleep and sighed "...oh. I guess I was dreaming... but it wasn't the usual dream. This one was different. Do you think it could've been because you were here, Yuki...?"
