Eavesdrop

(Warning: This chapter may contain some violence and a bit abuse. Also this is not a Character x Reader book and this is just my perspective on how Michael took care of Mammon before he was in Lucifer's care.)

You sighed as you watched the night sky in the balcony with you're favorite brother. Mammon.

Mammon was always there for you in danger nor in boredom, you would always love hearing his tales of his times of his brothers back at the celestial realm. Though something made you wonder why doesn't he talk about his childhood? All he talked about was his brothers not himself at all.

" Ne, Mammon " you called out as the white haired demon looked at you with confusion. " Yeah MC? "

" What was you're childhood like?"

That question took the Avatar of Greed aback, he tensed up he gave a nervous chuckle and soon avoid you're gaze the other way. " Why'd ya'h ask? "

" Just curious, I wanted to know what you're childhood is like. You always tell stories of you're brothers childhood but not yours " You replied rather quickly.

What the two of you didn't know, 6 demons we're eavesdropping on you're conversation. As they stood a few feet away from the balcony frame. " His childhood? Oh this would be good for blackmailing! " whispered an indigo haired demon.

" shut up you idiot! We'll get caught! " The blonde demon whispered-yelled back as they all focused on listening. While the raven haired one was really interested by the topic, he took care of the white haired demon but he was already a grown up child that time, he didn't knew how he trained by the archangel Michael himself.

" Alright... I'll tell y'ah " The white haired began as he sighed and soon his sparkling blue eyes turned dull. " Before I was in Lucifer's care, Everyone thought if me to be the luckiest person to be placed on Michael's care, though I rather call it a curse than luck. " He explained with his eyes narrowed at the sky making you and the eavesdropping demons confused.

" Curse? How come? "

" When I turned 400 years old or 4 years old for humans. Michael made me read a the whole royal palace library with no sleep, just food and water. He wanted me to make sure I have enough knowledge of an angel " His words got you taken aback as well as the other demons.

" What? " The raven spoke in mid whisper his eyes wide, he didn't knew Michael treated his brother like this! Was he that cruel?! Who would make a 4 year old child study?!

" Believe me it was hard, He placed the library filled with his pet griffins and they would scream at me when I would doze off. I didn't get a wink of sleep for 4 months " Mammon dryly smiled. You on the hand was terrified, you thought he was raised with love and care just like how you observed Luke's and Simeon's relationship as Guardian and follower! Or father and son!

" After that he made me sleep for only 2 days. Then he made me recite all the great constellations, if I made one mistake he would whip me in the chamber. Just like how would Lucifer do to me when I get punished " The brothers stood stiff, they we're traumatized on how the archangel raised their brother though the one who got clearly taken aback was Lucifer. He looked at his shaking hands and his eyes in a brink of tears, his pride falling by price on every word that left Mammon's mouth.

" Because of that I would usually tense up or sometimes I would sometimes see Michael in Lucifer because if that. When I turned 600 he made me do immense sword combat training, I didn't get to rest until I perfectly did the stance and attack " Mammon kept going, you're heart was breaking in each word he spoke. No wonder he never talks about his childhood! It was giving him a hard and child trauma.
