To be a prince of Gehenna (Adopted from @ElisaBlow)

Ch 7

Rin pov

I had dinner with my demon family and I made conversation with my brothers. They are a lot nicer than what I have heard. I still don't want to go to Gehenna. My home is here with the Exwires. Although now that I know that most of them hate me I don't think I belong here anymore.

They all have their distinct personalities. Although I find Amaimon is harder to read. So is Beelzebub but he is easier. Lucifer is the hardest to read overall. He is polite and he seems to keep his emotions to himself. Although he does express his happiness and disappointment. Egyn is pretty easy to read he is quite and smart but he thinks of both sides. Iblis is interesting I can see that he takes after Astaroth but he is different in many ways. Astaroth is extremely loyal and respectful. 

Azazel is like Egyn, He is quiet and he keeps to himself. He follows Lucifer around and tries to be like Lucifer. Samael or Mephisto is stubborn and walks to his own beat. Although he respects power and those who are higher in rank than him. Beelzebub and Amaimon follow Samael around and follow his orders.

They try to be like Samael. I haven't been able to see what Satan is like. He seems formal and polite he shows his emotion and he is a bit reserved but it feels odd. It seems like to me that he is holding back. I don't know why but he seems to be strained. Our eyes meet and I look away. He intimidates me. It might because of what I have heard about him or it might be the amount of power he harnesses. 

He is able to easily wipe away any foes with a simple snap but he seems to care about his sons and family. Most would suspect him to be a cruel monster who takes advantage of those around them but that is not him at all. He seems to be soft and caring. I imagine demons might have tried to dethrone him and failed. 

Satan is extremely powerful. But he also appears to be smart and he cares about his family. It conflicts with everything I have heard. But I was also lied to and most of my friends actually hate me so this doesn't seem too far fetched. The more I think about it the less am I aginst to going to Gehenna.

I will be considered a prince there. A prince! Most demons seem to like me a lot. But this could all be a trick. once I arrive there they could lock me up and torture me for infinity. But this seems to much work just for them to just throw me to the side. Why go through with caring for me when I was asleep and inviting me to lunch. and worrying about me after I was gone for 9 hours. Although it could be a trick just to get me to believe they care.

After all, Yukio was able to fool me. Maybe I trust blindly. After all, I trusted Bon. He gave me a token of our friendship and everything. He seemed so sincere. It could be that my demon brothers fabricated the entire thing. 

Maybe the whole meeting was fake just an illusion. Although that doesn't explain why Shura and Izumo came to see why I was sad. And why would someone set a private meeting to trick someone if they didn't even know if the person will see it? And it doesn't explain why no one came to see me once I returned after 15 hours. 

And Yukio... Maybe he was possed by one of the demon kings and he wasn't acting on his own accord. But then again. He has pointed his gun at me and he has told me to die and kill myself many times. He has threatened to hurt me multiple times and it seemed like him. It didn't feel like it was a demon speking through him.

I hate this. I hate that I can't trust anyone now. Is there anyone I can truly trust? Kuro? Kuro has to follow my orders so he couldn't lie to me. Shura and Izumo. They defend me in the meeting and came to see me afterward. It also doesn't make sense that an illusion that was supposed to make me hate the exorcist have someone defending me. let alone, two people. 

Although that could be a small detail to make me believe that the illusion is real. This entire thing has too many If and buts. I have no idea who to trust. I stopped taking the pills and I am able to remember all the times Yukio has tried to kill me and told me to die. I remember all the remarks Bon made. All the times Shiemi ran away from me or cowered in fear.

But this all could be apart of a carefully crafted plan made by the demon kings to try and trick me. Although that wouldn't make sense. 

I can sense other's emotions especially demons and my demons brothers haven't shown one sign of deceit or trickery. They could be hiding that from me but they don't seem strained. But they could have trained themselves to hide their emotions and how to act out others. But the thing is that they feel the emotions they present. It doesn't seem like they are hiding their emotions.

satan seems strained though. He could be evil and is hiding it. But earlier when I ran away from him he was sad. And the rest of my family was jealous when I put my head on Lucifer. And when he hugged me. They don't seem to be hiding their emotions either. I can sense when they are hiding something. Like with Satan I can tell that he is stopping himself from doing something.

This is just so complicated. maybe I am over complicating things.

Lucifer pov

Rin stops eating and he goes into deep thought. All of my brothers notice this. "what do you think he is thinking about?" Egyn asks.

 "It could be anything but I think he might be thinking about if he can trust us or not. He is in really deep thought and It would make sense for him to be questioning if we actually care. He just recently found out that his friends lied to him and his brother has hated him for years. He probably thinks that he can't trust anyone and we are just trying to trick him," I reply.

"That is ridiculous we are his brothers we love and care about him deeply, How could he think such things?" Azazel asks. "Rin was tricked his entire life. he was told that we are cold heartless monsters and he was deceived and taken advantage of. He probably is questioning if we are sincere or not, and besides, I could be totally wrong and he could be thinking about rainbows or trying to remember what he had to eat yesterday." I reply.

Azazel nods. "We just have to work harder to show him that we actually care about him without making it seem like we are trying to trick him. Because we aren't and we love him," I add. We start talking about ways to show Rin we care.
