Heart That Drips In Gold

Buring Pile

POV: Em

Diavolo gave us a big room and managed to set Mammon down on our bed, placing an all over healing spell on him as he remained unconscious. I rubbed my eyes, dried tears covering my cheeks. "He'll be okay, come lets met back with the others...they seem pretty distraught..." Diavolo took my hand gently and I recomposed myself as we headed down to them. I looked at the others: Levi was hiding his face under his hood, curled up on a couch in the common room, Beel and Belphie were trying to comfort one another, Satan was leaning against the wall rubbing his face in frustration, Asmo sniffled and kept quiet.

When they noticed us they immediately asked how Mammon was. "He'll be okay...just needs rest..." Diavolo replied and smiled tiredly. "Go get some rest Dia...I can handle the boys..."I smiled back at him and he nodded. "Sure thing Em, night to you all" he walked out of the room. I sighed and gathered everyone around me on the floor. "Lucifer fucking snapped..." Belphie muttered and clutched his pillow. "He promised us he would NEVER turn on one of us...that included Mammon too..." Beel sniffled a little. Asmo just leaned into me and sighed. "He confessed to being in love with Em...I mean we all had some feelings towards her but once we saw she just wanted Mammon, we respected her feelings and our brother's, even if we felt otherwise...Lucifer continued to push his uncontrollable feelings on her...and after that kiss...Mammon finally had enough..." he rubbed his eyes. "So is Mammon a demon again?" Levi piped up. "Looks like the change didn't stick like it did with Lilith..." Satan mumbled.

"Yeah he is..." I let out a breath. They all looked at me. "And for Lucifer...I don't know what's gonna happen..." I hold my baby bump and winced. "You okay?" Asmo place a hand on my shoulder. "Yeah Aiden just kicked a bit harder than usual, must know I'm upset..." I whispered. "Go get some rest Em, please for us..." Belphie said looking up from his pillow. I smiled and nodded, Beel coming over to help me up. I bid them goodnight, giving them all a big hug before walking upstairs to the room Diavolo gave us. I quietly opened the door and tiptoed to the big bed, Mammon now back to his normal form, sleeping. Bruises covered his body yet again...I hated it I really did...He sacrificed so damn much for people he loves...I got comfy in a set of clothes Barbatos prepared before we got here with everyone.

I snuck into the bed and gently cuddled into Mammon's sleeping figure. A good shower would help him feel better tomorrow...possibly...I dunno what tomorrow will bring in all honesty...Lucifer was where Belphie landed in last year...The look in Diavolo's eyes told a lot...the hurt and disappointment he had for his best friend...I gently took Mammon's hand and placed a kiss on the top of it. "You don't need to be the hero anymore Mammon...Live for you...for me and for Aiden...your brothers love you...they showed it today...they saw what happened..." I whispered into his hand I was holding before drifting off to sleep.

POV: Diavolo

I wanted to visit Lucifer before heading to bed. Barbatos got the other comfortable in their own shared rooms for the night. It was tough on everyone so I wanted to lend a comforting hand to all of them. It's the least I could do for now...the rest they need to figure out. I held my arms behind my back as I made my way down to the holding cells, it was literally a year the last time I was down here except with Belphie, who is now upstairs.

I reached the cell Lucifer was in. "Luci..." I peered into the barely lit cell. Lucifer was sitting on the edge of the bed, legs apart, hand intertwined in the middle as he was leaning over head down, his hair covering his face. No response. "You didn't kill him...if that's what you're thinking...and the others are here...probably sleeping...or trying to...Em is okay as well...up with Mammon most likely..." I walked up to the bars and held onto them pressing my forehead on them. Lucifer twitched a bit but looked a bit more relaxed. "Just to think Belphie was in here just last year...huh?" I murmured. I looked up at the form of my best friend...my loyal left hand...as Barbatos was my right...

"Well I wanted to say goodnight...and see if you were okay...well physically okay..." I sighed pulling myself off the bars and went to head back upstairs. I heard a faint 'goodnight' echo before making my upstairs to go get some much needed rest.
