HIRAETH - OBEY ME

this is why we can't have nice things

YOU WERE THE FIRST HUMAN CHILD to ever stay temporarily in Devildom. The place didn't scare you but it bugged you by the way the place is always dark and full of monsters that you read from a child's storybook. You hesitantly held the hem of the person's coat; his name was Diavolo, but everyone calls him Lord Diavolo.

Diavolo looked down on you with an amused look. Instead of pushing you away, he held out his hand for you to hold. You grabbed his gloved hand as the both of you walked through the somewhat never ending hallway.

You peeked to look at his tanned face, "Are we almost there yet?" you asked, slightly sounding impatient. The older chuckled and said that the both of you are already there. Your eyes lit up when you saw the huge chandeliers in the room, the fancy layout of the interior design and the seven taller and bigger men in front of you - mostly because you hate walking, even by being a seven years old, you were already lazy.

Diavolo introduced you to them in your behalf, "Good evening to you all. This little one is named [name], hope you guys treat her well."

The one with the white hair and tanned skin seemed to oppose to the idea as a big frown was evident on his face, "What? No way, I'm not gonna babysit a human, more alone a kid-"

Diavolo leaned down to whisper in your ear, "His name is Mammon, okay? He's like that but I'm sure he'll take a liking towards you." you looked at him before nodding. The man behind you push you gently to Mammon as you tug on his clothing. "Monnie, nice to meet you." You grinned.

As if in a trance, Mammon looked away and pulled away from your grasp, "Stop touching me!" he mumbled but you held his hand instead. Mammon was about to yell at you but he noticed the grin on your face, sighing in defeat, he lets you hold his hand again. Muttering, "You're lucky you're a kid."

The one with a pale shade of brown hair giggled when he saw his brother's expression, "Not so mean when it comes to kids, eh?" he teased him to which Mammon responded to a scoff. "My name is Asmo, nice to meet you." Asmo waved his hand and cupped your cheeks with his palms, "Your skin is so delicate, darling. Nothing like mine though." he winked to which made you giggle as well.

Another big guy stepped forward, he wore shades of red and his dark hair was tussled back. "My name is Lucifer." he nodded, appreciating your small wave.

You gazed up at Mammon, "Monnie! Up!" you raised both of your arms as your hands made a "grabby-grab" kind of gesture. The white haired boy could only sigh again, somehow already under you as he carried you up. He seemed to have no problem in lifting your weight, soon enough the others went forward.

"Hello, child. I'm Satan, the fourth born." He greeted with a small smile, his hands on his chest as his other arm was behind him; he took a bow. You bowed as well, "Satannie." He cringed at the nickname you gave him but still smiled and lets you go away with it.

Next, a larger guy came, eating snacks from his hands and it mesmerized you how fast he could gobble it all up. "Hey, I'm Beel. We could eat lots together." You looked up as he towered you, you glanced at Mammon and to Beel again - soon enough, betraying Mammon as you raised your arms to Beel, "Up, please!"

Somehow, Mammon was already attached to you. He step a little away from Beel's reach when he was about to get to you. "Hey! No! She's mine, shoo. And how come didn't you said please to me?" he ranted to you.

A frown was etched on your face as you gaze longingly at Beel, you didn't cry though, you avoided crying. "But..." You mutter, not leaving your attention to Beel as the thought of his towering height would make you feel higher. You then snapped your eyes to Mammon, "Monnie..." You pulled on a pleading face that made Mammon give you up to the much bigger man.
