"Stupid decorations...why do I have to do this? Stupid Lucifer..." Mammon mumbled as he pulled out boxes of Christmas decorations from a closet.

"Mammon?"

"AAH I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING!" Mammon panicked.

"Woah! Calm down, it's just me!" You put your hands up in defense.

"O-Oh...don't scare me like that, jerk!" Mammon barked.

"Sorry...? I didn't realize you were so jumpy today." You teased.

"I-I ain't jumpy! Sh-Shaddup!" Mammon blushed.

"Alright then...what got you all worked up? Y'know you could tell me." You said as you gently took the box out of his hands and put it down.

"...fine. Lucifer caught Asmo and me coming back from the club last night and now he's punishin' us for it." Mammon huffed.

"By...decorating for Christmas..?" You said as you looked at the box.

"It's usually Asmo's job to put up the decorations and stuff, but Lucifer switched our jobs as a sort of punishment..." Mammon huffed.

"What do you usually do?" You asked.

"Uh...besides sometimes calculatin how much presents will cost, nothin' really. Lucifer doesn't like me snoopin around and stuff cuz he thinks Imma steal somethin' and sell it." Mammon grumbled.

"That...makes sense actually." You said in surprise.

"Hey, I ain't gonna steal nothin'!" Mammon barked.

"S-Sure...I believe...you." You tried giving him a reassuring look.

"A-Anyways Asmo loves decoratin' for the holidays, so when Lucifer told us we're switchin' jobs Asmo was so pissed off...it was kinda funny seeing him get all worked up." Mammon snorted.

"I'm sure it was...so, do you want me to help you?" You smiled as you picked up the box you previously put down.

"You wanna help? Why?" Mammon furrowed his brows.

"Think of it as spending more time together! It'll be fun!" You grinned.

"T-Together..? Heh, I knew you couldn't get enough of the great Mammon!" Mammon puffed up his chest in pride.

"Pfft...yeah, I missed spending time with my great Mammon." You teased.

Mammon's cheeks grew red, caught off guard by your remark. He stuttered a bit, trying to make some comeback but failed miserably.

"Aw cat got your tongue? Now come on, if Lucifer catches you slacking, you'll be in deeper trouble." You said before handing Mammon the box.

"R-Right...let's go to the entrance then!" Mammon said as he quickly ran out embarrassed.

Finally catching up to him, you found Mammon sitting on the last steps while pulling a bunch of garlands with red ribbons and different colored ornaments strewn all around it.

"Need help?" You chuckled.

"N-No! I got it!" Mammon said as he tried untangling himself from the seemingly endless garland he pulled out.

You stood and watched in amusement as Mammon continued to tangle himself up and swear every so often.

"...okay maybe I don't got it." Mammon huffed.

"Pfft...just stay still for a moment, okay?" You laughed.

You knelt to his level and carefully twisted and turned the garland away from Mammon, finally freeing him from his festive prison.
