The intertwining of hearts (Dialuci)

Family

~~Diavolo~~

I happily walked along looking through the windows of the shops waiting for my D.D.D. to buzz. A small bag swung in my hand carefully as the rest hung from my arms with less worry. People started to take notice a while ago about who I was and at this point, people were awkwardly gawking at the Demon prince peacefully humming to himself in a busy shopping district. After Lucifer was forced to leave I went ahead and bought those accessories before wandering around aimlessly patiently awaiting Barbatos. Honestly, this place was rather run-down and had little to keep my interest once Lucifer had taken leave. Sure, I rarely got to go to places like this but now that Lucifer was gone, so was my interest. I wonder what human world places like this were like, no doubt more interesting than this.

Just then my phone buzzed lightly in my pocket with a text from-I pulled out my phone- none other than Barbatos.

I tucked away the device as I walked through the crowds of demons towards the parking lot. The car was waiting- a discrete black colour with two halves separated by a closeable window. I, of course, was supposed to sit in the back but I'd much rather sit with Barbatos than by myself.

I pulled open the back door shoving in the bags of stuff into the red cushioned interior. I closed the door gently still holding the small bag in my hand before getting into the only unoccupied seat in the front.

"So? Did it go well?" He asked with a smile before pulling out of the lot."Lucifer was there, he let me pick out an outfit for him!"The butler let out a small chuckle."And I assume that bag is also for him?"His smirk grew wider as I nodded."Just some accessories- He left too early for me to give them to him." Barbatos nodded politely." With all due respect, I must remind you that after you arrive back at the palace you're to continue with work." I groaned displeased but Barb just sat there with the same smile keeping his eyes on the road."Could you at least give this bag to him?" I asked as the butler nodded knowingly.

"So...about safe sex-" I turned to gawk at him as he finally took his eyes off the road to give me a 'sorry not sorry' shrug. "Wait- does that mean that me and Luc-" He quickly interrupted my line of thought with an aggressive "No!.. I mean, it's just as likely as any other timeline, I have no idea what's to happen and I just want to make sure you're prepared in the case that you might..." He took a hand off the steering wheel to wave it in the air. "You're not my Mom." I hid my face embarrassed. "No, but it's my duty to prepare you for anything that may happen, such things could also just as much be me preparing for disappointment in case something bad happens." He looked away unable to maintain eye contact. "Are you implying Lucifer is going to reject me-" The butler let out an exasperated sigh? "I didn't even know you were going to confess- it's just a possibility I want you to be prepared for, so that-" I cut him off again "I don't get hurt, yes, yes, I get it. Please just give Lucifer the bag." I groaned wishing I had sat in the back and avoided the new anxieties in my stomach. "I will when I bring him the extra paperwork." The rest of the car ride was drenched in simple silence.

~~Lucifer~~

"My apologies Simeon, please forgive my brothers for their destructive tendencies and for wreaking such havoc, I regret to say that I owe you." I bowed my head to the Angels, Luke was hidden behind the older one with tears in his eyes. "I have to admit it seemed too quiet around here lately, I'm quite surprised Lotan didn't make more of a mess." Simeon laughed lightly. "Leviathan will be properly punished for his wrongs, same goes for everyone else." I sighed feeling a headache form. I just wanted to go one day without having to clean up after my brothers, why did they have to continually cause so many troubles and then leave ME to clean up after them? I turned around to face them all. "Well? Aren't you going to apologize? Especially you, Levi, Mammon?" The blue-haired boy shook with anxiety not able to get out the words and Mammon, well- "WHAT'D I DO??" I sighed exasperatedly. "You're the second oldest, I expect you to keep things under control when I'm home, you can't continue to act like a child because I'm there to clean up your mess." It seemed he didn't take too kindly to that because his glare just seemed to worsen "Oi, I'm trying my best! I know that I can't keep acting like this but you're just getting mad at me for something I wasn't any part of!" I grimaced as he stared me down. "Do you think it's easy having to continuously look after all of you AND provide all of the luxuries you live with? You need to start growing up, control your spending habits and get a damn job!" I yelled back almost forgetting that the others were still there."Fine! I'm sorry, are you happy?" He threw his arms up storming away.

I felt a sense of dread and guilt flood over me once my anger died down. "Levi?" He flinched slightly scared I would also yell at him."Would you please apologize?"I asked in a much softer tone. He shook his head yes. "I'm sorry that Lotan flooded your h-house." He said in a shaky voice. "I'm going to go find Mammon-" Satan cut me off. "I don't think you should, I doubt he wants to see you right now." The blond-haired Demon glared angrily. I sighed knowing he was right and took my leave.
