Possession (Obey Me! Mammon) DRAFT

Pessimistic

"Judith, hey, Judith." Mammon whispered over the shoulder of her chair, leaning his weight onto her back in an attempt to annoy the attention out of her. She ignored him, scribbling away at here essay. "Common, I said I was sorry."

"And I forgive you." She sighed, rubbing her temples stressfully. "But I really can't miss this deadline and I already wasted all my extra time at the mall with you yesterday."

"You can do it tomorrow." He groaned, his arms curling around her waist. He tugged backwards, trying to physically pry her from the common room table and her laptop. "The deadline isn't until next week!"

"Yeah, but!" Judith grabbed hold of the table and held on tightly, refusing to let Mammon pull her and her chair away. Mammon eased the tension, slouching onto her back and looking over her shoulder. "I promised Beel last week we would go out to the new cake shop tomorrow and then Friday I'm helping Satan organize his books, Saturday and Sunday I have to go to town with Lucifer to get you guys new outfits and then I promised him I would help with the leftover paperwork from last months dance battles."

"What about me?" Mammon pouted, his brows furrowed. "When do I get my time with you?"

"Mammon you're always with me!" She laughed, tilting her head away to allow her to give him a playful sideways glance. "It seems like every time I blink you're standing right infront of me!"

"But being around you is different than being with you," Manmon rolled his deep blue eyes, as if what he said had been obvious. "Just hanging around in the same vicinity as you ain't enough. Especially when my brothers are booking you up like a ledger."

"I can't go out for ramen today," Judith sighed at Mammon's irritated face. She shook her head, caving. "Alright fine. How about you come to my room tonight and we can watch Dark Moon Wanes?"

"We were gunna do that anyway."

"Yeah, but I bought the instant stuff yesterday." Mammon's eyes went wide at her coy smile.

"You didn't-?"

"I did." Judith stuck her tongue out for a quick moment, teasing him. "I was gunna save them for game night, but I can get more while I'm in town with Lucifer."

"Man, every time I start to doubt you, you surprise me again!" Mammon gave the brunette woman a squeeze, nearly knocking the air from her lungs. Judith exhaled in a gasp, eyes wide in surprise. When the white haired demon finally let her go, he was oblivious to her desperate intake of air.

"I only have one condition!" Judith was quick to speak once she was able. "I need to be left alone until I'm done!"

"..." This made him pause. "...can I stay in the room?"

"You can stay." Judith nodded, closing her laptop and moving to stand. "But it's already close to noon and I can't stay here while Beel eats or I'll get distracted by all the yummy foods."

"We're are you going then?" Mammon's stayed crouched as Judith took up her book bag and laptop.

"Somewhere I hopefully won't be disturbed." Was all she replayed with, making an effort to leave quickly. Mammon pouted, but didn't try to follow. The Hell-Sauce instant ramen Judith bought was his favorite food, apart from her handmade backstabbing sandwiches.

A sigh blew through Judith's nose as she spotted the familiar office door, her hand raising to knock. Before she could, however, the door opened from the inside. It opened and swung so quickly, it smashed directly into Judith's face.

"Fuck-!" She spat in surprise, free hand clutching her once cleared nose.

"Huh? Judith!" The fluffy head of golden hair dashed into her line of blurry sight, emerald eyes shining with worry. Satan gripped the wrist clutching her nose gently, his other hand on her lower back to steady her in the event she fainted. He gently pried her hand away from her face. "I'm sorry, my emotions got the best of me again. Let me see, I hope I didn't cause any permanent damage."

"I'm alright."

Lucifer stepped out of his office, flanked by a white haired boy Judith knew well. There were two other new faces as well, a blond woman and another brunette man. Lucifer stepped forward to look over Satan's shoulder.

"Satan, I've told you to stop slamming doors. Now look at what you've done." The disappointed tone in Lucifer's voice made Satan growl inaudibly, but Judith was quick to place her hand over his. "Humans are fragile beings, don't tell me you've gone and broke her."

"I'm fine, Lucifer." Judith grumbled, scrunching her nose to try and loosen out the pain.

"What a shame." The white haired boy sighed, crossing his arms.

"Sorry, did you say something Solomon?" Judith asked, watching as his sly face cracked into something more coy. Satan, who'd heard Solomon's every syllable, sent a hellish glare over his shoulder. Lucifer kept himself professional. For the moment.

"I apologize on Satan's behalf." Lucifer sighed, making Satan grit his teeth.

"Why do I have a feeling it was you who made him angry in the first place?" Judith pulled away from Satan and sent her icy words to Lucifer, who frowned deeply. She scoffed, shaking her head and deciding to go somewhere else. Her parting words were thrown over her shoulder. "Maybe you should apologize on your own behalf."

The two humans sat mildly stunned by her blunt way of speaking to such a powerful demon, and Solomon stood angrily. The anger he held for Judith surpassed none, he loathed her very existence. The brothers? Well, they hated each other sometimes, but nothing humanized them quite like Judith.

Satan looked to Lucifer as Judith continued down the hallway, wrath in his shining green eyes. Lucifer sighed.

"If we could continue-"

Judith entered another room, one with two beds and half empty.

"Belphie!!" She called, pitifully. The dark haired man twisted in his bed, cow print pillow in his arms. She tossed her laptop down on the orange bed, and walked over to the other. She plopped down on top of Belphegor, who abandoned his pillow to hold her instead. "I don't want to do any more work."

"We can nap instead." The man with white highlights smiled, snuggling her. "You can work when we wake up, fully refreshed."

"I can't nap, I just needed a hug." Judith admitted, making Belphegor hum curiously. "Satan and Lucifer are fighting again."

"Did something happen?"

"Satan hit me in the face with the door to Lucifers office. It was an accident, and he apologized." Judith shifted to hold him back, arms pressed to his sides. She rested her head on his shoulder. "But I'm worried they got into it again. It's not often Satan loses control like that, they must have argued about something important to him."

"Satan and Lucifer will never meet eye to eye, I'm convinced it's against their nature." Belphegor huffed a small laugh, eyes closed peacefully as he reveled in Judith's presence. "They'll work it out. Eventually."

"You're right. Thank you, Bel." Judith have him a hug and pried away, stretching. She snagged her laptop off Beelzebub's bed. "But I'm not going back into Lucifer's office until I have to."

"Levi is in his room."
