Overcome (Belphegor x GN! Reader)

CH 18: Reunited

Once again, Belphegor was in your room. The days we're getting longer, and it was getting harder and harder for him to sleep. At this point, all he really came in here for was to be able to stare at the ceiling in peace.

The knocking on the door was making that a little difficult to do though. He stayed quiet, trying to make it seem as though he wasn't in here. But whoever was on the other side of that damn door knew better.

When the knocking still didn't stop, he finally gave up and got out of your bed. He stormed to the door and flung it open, somewhat unsurprised at who was there.

Lucifer stood in the hall with his arms crossed as he stared at Belphegor. Of course. The last thing Belphegor wanted, or needed, was to deal with him right now.

After the whole portal incident a few weeks ago, Lucifer had pretty much gone back to normal. The comforting brother that Belphegor got a glimpse of that night was gone, and Lucifer was back to his typical self.

"What are you doing right now?" Lucifer asked, eyeing him for some kind of reaction. It wasn't odd of Lucifer to ask him to do things for him, but this felt... odd.

Belphegor narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean 'what am I doing right now'? I don't think that's any of your business." He grumbled, not wanting to be involved in whatever work was about to be done. Lucifer let out a small chuckle, angering Belphegor further.

"You know what Lucifer? What are you doing right now? Did you come here just to laugh at me or did you actually need something? Cause if you don't, I have a nap to get back to," Belphegor lied, his hand still resting on the doorknob.

If this were any other room in the house, he would have slammed the door right in Lucifer's face.

"I actually do have a reason for finding you. And I wish to ask what you're doing right now. Are you busy?" Lucifer asked again. He was standing there with a smug look on his face, and Belphegor felt his blood boil.

"And if I say I am?" Belphegor questioned though gritted teeth. "Then I would advise you to clear your schedule," Lucifer replied.

Belphegor let go of the door knob and crossed his arms impatiently. "I'm getting tired of this. You're acting like some kind of  know-it-all. What do you want?"

"Well, as it turns out, an idiot brother of ours has gotten into some trouble with a witch... in the human world," Lucifer began. 'Human world' very quickly grabbed Belphegor's attention.

"Did you come here to rub that in my face or...?" Belphegor asked hesitantly. "No, it's nothing like that. I figured since we're going to the human world, I'd ask if you would care to join us. And if so, we could quickly visit a certain someone," he finished.

Belphegor stared back at him, unsure of what to say. It felt too good to be true. "Are you messing with me?" Belphegor questioned as he turned his gaze to the floor. Lucifer wasn't the type of person that pulled pranks of any sort, but this felt unreal.

"I'm not messing with you," Lucifer replied confidently. "We're leaving in a couple hours if you wish to go with us."

"And you aren't messing with me?" Belphegor asked again, to which Lucifer shook his head. "I have no reason to lie to you."

"Then I'll go," Belphegor replied hurriedly. "I'll go. You two had better hurry up though. I'll be ready soon, so don't you dare keep me waiting."

After Lucifer left, Belphegor hurried down the hall and up the stairs to the room he shared with Beelzebub to get ready. Belphegor was never in any particular hurry for things. Usually, he was more of the laid back type... usually.
