Heart That Drips In Gold

Places Places Everybody Places

POV: Mammon

We all gathered in the common room. Em stood in the middle of them. I was leaning against the mantle of the fireplace. "So what's this about hon?" Asmo asked. Em turned to him and let out the breath she was holding. "I know you all have been acting differently...not sleeping...nightmares..well more of past memories.." She started. They all looked at her in shock. "How'd you know that?" Levi asked his voice trembling. "Well...I do too...so does Mammon..yet ours are more intense..." she glanced at me before continuing. Lucifer locked eyes with me. I held his glance until Em dropped the bomb. "Well that's cause I died...in a previous time line...due to Barbatos...Belphie killed me...I died in Mammon's arms..." she looked around as everyone took it in. Gasps and chatter started up fast. "No how could..." Beel started but Em continued. "Past Barbatos sent Mammon and you all moments before he killed me...so that Mammon could save me and you all could detain and stop Belphie..." she glanced at Lucifer. He had silent tears running down his face. The others did as well as they all come to terms of what was the truth. "Barbatos offered to Em an elixir that can help with what we are all experiencing, Solomon will make it and give it to us at the next student council meeting..." I spoke finally and they all looked at me.

They all nodded and proceeded to coddle and flaunt over Em. I let them and I kept my place by the fireplace. Lucifer came next to me and pulled me into a hug. My eyes went wide and was unsure what to do. I felt his lips by my ear. "I'm sorry Mammon...I love you...I miss my little brother..." his voice hitched. I slowly wrapped my arms around him and buried my face into his shoulder. Inhaling the scent of my brother. It filled my chest. I missed him too...I missed all of them....but I know I need to take Em's offer at the end of the year. Give us brothers some breathing room and for them to get their shit together.

Lucifer pulled away and gave me a sad smile. We returned to the others as they looked up at me. Asmo was the first to tackle hug me. Then Beel, followed by Levi and Satan. I heard Em giggle as they snugged into me. I snuggled back and smiled as they let their tears flow littering the room with apologies. Lucifer was hugging Em tight and held her head to his chest. I knew he had feelings for her. Thats why I always held back...when it came to Em and my feelings. Lucifer did tell Em that night he set me free that he knew how I felt about her and trusted her with me.

After everyone calmed down, Lucifer suggested we all made dinner together. All of us filed into the kitchen and proceeded to make a huge meal. Beel and Levi were laughing together. Satan and Asmo worked together on making dishes. Em was helping Lucifer and I make the table and set up everything. I never felt so much together. Belphie suddenly came to the back of my mind. I wanna ask Diavolo if I can meet up with him in the dungeon...I need to talk to him....
