M/C had quickly adjusted to the life of being in the devildom, much to the demon's surprise. They didn't disobey that much and attended most classes. Lucifer understood that it would take the human awhile to trust him and his brothers, so he was prepared to wait for them. After all, it wasn't everyday some sorcerer who you thought was your best friend drags you down to an unknown place littered with demons.

Today, M/C had some free time. They had no classes until the afternoon, so the demons? They took advantage of that factor immediately. Despite Lucifer saying otherwise, the demons hogged M/C and took up most of their time.

First, Mammon introduced M/C to the casino and his credit card called 'goldie' ( yes, he even named it ) who he would literally die for. However, it often got confiscated and ended up in the back of the fridge.

Second, Leviathan showed M/C his video games. No, he didn't trust the human enough to bring them to his room - however, showing his precious video games to a so-called 'normie' was a huge step for him. The duo even played for hours, which was a huge achievement for the both of them.

Third, Satan showed the human his huge book collection in his bedroom. M/C will admit, they struggled to get in since books were barricading the door, however once they were inside, it was like a paradise. Satan and M/C talked about all sorts of genres, immediately bonding over pages spiralled with ink.

Fourth, Asmodeus took M/C to his room and they painted their nails together and had a mini spa treatment. M/C will admit, they did enjoy their time with the demon. Yes, he flirted with them, but he never went any further which M/C was grateful for.

Fith, Beelzebub finally had some time with the human himself. His twin, Belphegor was asleep, so Beelzebub decided to take M/C down to the mansions kitchen and cook a small meal for them. It was safe to say the human was extremely grateful.

And finally, Belphegor took the human outside to star gaze with him since it was always dark in the devildom and Belphegor had a strong passion for stars. M/C and the demon sat under the dark blanket of twinkling stars talking about everything and anything.

A few hours flew by and M/C found themselves walking to their bedroom that Asmodeus had oh-so-kindly decorated just for them. Their head was filled to brim with many thoughts.

I thought demons were horrible creatures that were always feared by us humans...

However, M/C thought as they entered their bedroom, They're actually just like us in a way.

The human smiled a small smile.

They need sleep, food, water, attention and love... They need care and so many other factors that I have failed to realise.

Why are they portrayed as horrible beings that will eat humans in story books?

M/C gulped. They shuddered. Actually... They probably would do that.

The human was snapped out of their thoughts as soon as a knock landed on the bedroom door. They perked up.

"Uh... Yes?"

"M/C, are you in here? It's Lucifer."

M/C sighed. "Yes, I'm in here. Come in."

After the given command, Lucifer opened the door and stepped inside. He saw M/C sat on their bed.

"Did you have fun today?" Smiled Lucifer, "My brothers told me all about it. I was disappointed since I was busy, however I hope you enjoyed your time with them."

M/C nodded and watched the tall male step closer. "Yes. As much as I hate to admit it, I actually had a very fun day with your brothers. You're... Not as bad as you all seem."

"What do you mean by that?" Lucifer was intrigued.

"Oh." M/C pursed their lips into a thin line, "It's just that back in the human world, there are story books about demons. Demons are portrayed as hideous creatures that will eat humans."

Lucifer hummed in amusement before he smirked. "Well, that's not entirely wrong..."

The human scoffed in order to mask a laugh. "Oh, please, if you all really wanted to eat me, wouldn't you have done it already?"

"I see that you've caught on quickly."

M/C chuckled. That was until a frown replaced it. Lucifer noticed this.

"M/C? What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," They blurted out a bit too quickly. However, they then mumbled, "It's just... Solomon."

"What about him?" Lucifer sat down on the edge of the humans bed which they didn't seem to mind.

"Why would he betray me this way? If he would have just told me what he was, I wouldn't of minded..."

Lucifer hummed softly. "Would you believe him? Would you accept him?"

M/C looked shocked. "Of course I would! Solomon is my best friend and I trust him with everything - "

"Even after what he did to you? Lied to you and brought you down here?"

"Y-You forced him though... Because of your stupid deal, he was forced to bring me down here otherwise you would have killed him!"

"Hm." Lucifer pursed his lips. "I suppose that is true."

"Yes, I am disappointed at him for lying to me for all of these years and keeping what he really does a secret... But I know him: I know Solomon. And he wouldn't just leave me down here."

Lucifer smirked, "Oh? Wouldn't he?"

M/C had a stern look on their face. "No. He will come and find me, I'll show you."

Please prove me right, Solomon. I trust you.

-

Simeon had emerged from his bedroom. Luke and him hadn't spoken to Solomon at all and it was beginning to get quite tense at the residence.

The angel wandered into the living room where he witnessed a white haired male surrounded by stacks of old books. He was muttering incoherent words with a concentrated look on his face.

The angel couldn't help but to raise a brow. "S-Solomon?" The sorcerers name slipped past his lips in the form of a stutter.

The said male looked up almost immediately. His eyes locked with Simeon's.

"Oh, Simeon, hello." Solomon muttered.

"What are you doing?"

Solomon was silent for a few moments. That was until he murmered a small sentence.

"I'm planning to get M/C back..."
