Lucifer

Lucifer has two moods- the first is appearing at your side with a large umbrella and a stern look, offering you his arm and saying you're going to catch a cold walking in the rain alone, lucky he's here and that's not going to happen.

The second is when you're halfway home, the storm whipping your jackets and both your shoes soaked through, Lucifer's hair in his face and his arm flung instinctively across you as the rain splashes from every which way. And just like that, Lucifer closes the umbrella, his grim expression replaced by one of reckless, heartfelt emotion. He takes your face in both his hands and kisses you, his mouth warm while cool rain trickles over your lips, his nose pressed into the side of yours as he closes his eyes, his eyebrows gently furrowed.

You arrive back, drenched, Lucifer's jaw gritted as if to stop himself from shivering. In your room, you change into pjs and help Lucifer into a set of yours, you hold each other trembling under the blankets, softly laughing about it.

Mammon

Holding each other's hands and running headlong through the storm, yelling at the top of your lungs. This is actually Mammon's second chaotic dash through the rain- when he realised there was a storm and you weren't home, he ran all the way from the House of Lamentation with an umbrella, but the wind was so bad that it got destroyed on the way. Now he's soaked and shouting about how freezing it is and how his teeth keep chattering, he keeps pulling you behind him every time the wind lashes against you. He can barely see through his wet sunglasses, and the next minute he's lost them completely. Mammon doesn't look for them, he just yells at you to hold on, then picks you up, holding you against his chest and half-covering you with his jacket as he sprints the rest of the way.

In the foyer of the house Mammon collapses to his hands and knees dramatically gasping, then rolls onto his back (still dramatically gasping), his limbs sprawled like he's been washed-up from the ocean. You're still worried about his favourite expensive sunglasses but Mammon just wheezes and shakes his head as he laughs, saying he can have a huge cry about that later, right now he's just glad you're okay.

Leviathan

Gives a solemn speech about bravery and friendship before you face the storm together, telling you that if he doesn't return from this quest then the fate of the demon realm will rest solely with you, and only with your victory shall he rise again from the dark. You face each other with heartfelt vows, then Levi hands you a large sheet of newspaper and takes one for himself, and you both hold them over your heads and run like lunatics, laughing and purposefully trying to splash each other. Levi keeps giggling and wailing really loudly every time you get him, which does kind of end up sounding like a host of undead are rising up to meet you after all.

Satan

Sends you several worried text messages telling you to stay right there and not to leave RAD without him. Satan seems all too relieved when he finds you, though he tries to downplay his concern and insists it would just be sensible to stay back and study in the library for a while. You haven't seen Satan get overly protective like this but he doesn't exactly seem pleased when you mention it, saying there are enough dangerous things in the Devildom as it is.

You sit by the windows and watch the rain from the cosy indoors, but Satan excuses himself, needing a moment to calm down and be okay for you. When he returns he looks sorrowful, and you see he's made two hot chocolates from the vending machine. He pokes the wooden stirrer-stick into yours, sadly hoping to encourage some life into the dehydrated marshmallows floating in your cup. He apologises and says he doesn't know what's gotten into him, trying to weakly joke and suggest you just throw him into the rain yourself if you don't want an overprotective-Satan at your heels.

You gently stop and reassure him, saying you've honestly been looking forward to taking it in turns to read dark poetry and tell each other ghost stories in the library when there's a storm, like how the novel Frankenstein was written. Satan rests his brow on your shoulder when you place your arms around him, muttering into your jacket that he loves you.

Asmodeus

The storm starts getting a lot worse during your walk home together and Asmo suggests you both start jogging, he wants to make sure you're safe and sound as soon as possible. When this leads to you accidentally slipping, Asmo's expression becomes stricken, he keeps asking "are you okay? Are you okay??", his hands trembling as he quickly tries to pull you up and keep you dry. He doesn't know why he suddenly can't breathe, only that you're hurt now and this is all his fault.

You fold Asmo's umbrella for him, then hug him gently under yours. You place your palm on his chest as you breathe together, you let him know that you're both almost home and you're not hurt at all, if anything you just feel a bit ridiculous for falling. This makes Asmo chuckle a bit, he crosses his heart and says he won't tell. When Asmo eventually blinks and looks around, he realises that you're close to the front steps of the House of Lamentation. You've been standing there for so long that Lucifer eventually comes down and asks if you're both alright, he saw you from the upper window quite some time ago.

Asmo lets out a bright, forced laugh, saying "yes of course we are! We're just having a nice little chat here, n-nothing to worry abou-" at which point Lucifer sighs and gets out his handkerchief, looking oddly caring as he exasperatedly holds it to Asmo's face, apparently simply telling Asmo his nose is running from being freezing and wet isn't an option. Later, you gently tell Asmo that if he's ever having a panic attack and you're not around, you know that when it matters, his older brother loves him just as much as you do and would be there for him no matter what.

Beelzebub

Brings an enormous raincoat for you and an even more enormous backpack full of snacks. You're a little perplexed about all the snacks, but Beel solemnly tells you he brought them in case you felt too scared to walk back with him in the rain, and he didn't want you to be hungry all night at RAD. You tell Beel you're never scared when he's here, and he glances down, looking a little glum, saying that's kind of you to say. You tell him you mean it, and Beel tells you he knows you did. But he also knows one of the others would have turned this storm into some kind of adventure, which is the kind of thing he wants for you, rather than a demon who's just a glutton like him.

You think he looks so sad then, standing with your raincoat in one hand and the backpack drooping from the other, so you just whisper could he please lean down, because you just need to hug him and never let go. Beel is so surprised that he eventually softly places down the other two items, letting you hold him, your arms wrapped tight around his neck as you whisper that he's everything to you and you're going to make sure he knows it from now on.

Belphegor

Belphie is waiting for you unannounced at the front gates, looking quite pleased with himself. He says he knows the wet and rain can make humans feel miserable so not to worry, he's here to keep you company and cheer you up. You don't want to take the wind out of his sails by telling him you actually like the rain, but Belphie just smiles like he suspected this all along, saying "mnh, me too".

You walk back together slowly, noticing the way the Devildom can look quite pretty like this, all drippy and quiet and misty in the afternoon; you take all the overgrown pathways through the garden and don't bother using the umbrella. You don't even notice the cold until you're back in the House of Lamentation, when it suddenly occurs to you that you're both stiff and soaked and your lips are blue and Lucifer is absolutely furious.

He makes you and Belphie both sit in front of the common room fire with enormous quilts so he can keep an eye on you. You're so cold that every time you talk your voice sounds all shivery, which irks Lucifer even more, but only because you've truly worried him now. Belphie teases Lucifer on your behalf, saying isn't it nice to get such attention from the mighty eldest and next he'll be placing a ban on bad weather too.

You drift to sleep in the warmth, and when you wake up you're surprised to find the rest of the brothers have all brought their quilts down and are having a sleepover in the common room too, they all care and wanted to be there for you. Lucifer snaps at them all to give you space when you have six demons trying to ask if they can cuddle now that you're awake, but you can see he's relieved (nothing in the three realms could make him admit he also needs a cuddle now that he knows you're okay too).
