Perspective: MC, first person

MC is gender neutral here.

I stand outside in the cold devildom night, tears still drying on my face, bag flung across my shoulder and phone in my hand. I aggressively search through my chats and find the group chat with me and the other exchange students down at Purgatory Hall. I take a breath and type out a message.
"Hey guys, do you mind if I come over to Purgatory Hall? I know it's late but I really need to get out of here ASAP." I watch as a bubble appears, showing me that Luke is typing. In only a few seconds, his message appears.
"Oh no! Did something happen? Those demons better not have hurt you!!!" Luke, my little guardian angel. He always seems to want to protect me, which is kinda funny considering I'm the one usually defending and protecting him. I type my response.
"No, don't worry. I just really need to get away from the House of Lamentation." I'll explain what happened later, I don't want them to get too worried about me just yet. I see Simeon start to type.
"You're always welcome here. You know the wsy, right?" and a second later "*way. Sorry." It was funny how useless Simeon was with technology, like a grandpa who just got his first phone. Sometimes I forget the demons and angels are thousands, if not millions of years old.
"Yeah, I remember. Thank you." I smile lightly at my phone. Finally, an escape.
"You're welcome." Simeon types, then sends a smiling emote.
"Any time, MC." Solomon types.
I see a drop on my phone and look up. Is it raining? It doesn't rain often in the devildom... I feel my face and realize I've started crying without realizing it. Damnit. I wipe my eyes as I start my short trek to Purgatory Hall, hoping no demons see me on the way.

I walk up the steps to the dormitory and knock on the door. In very little time, Solomon opens it with a warm smile. I always liked his smile.
"Welcome" he says simply as he steps to the side for me to walk in.
"Thanks again for letting me stay here." I walk in and look around. Purgatory Hall always seemed so much more calming than the House of Lamentation. Not just because of the people who live there, but because of the color scheme and decoration. As much as I love the demon brothers, I would've preferred staying here.
"We discussed amongst ourselves and came to the decision that you should stay in Simeon's room. While I'd love to have you, I have work to do, and Simeon doesn't want Luke staying up later than he already has by talking to you all night." I chuckle to myself. They really do treat Luke like a little kid. He has a bedtime and everything.
"Yeah, that sounds okay." Simeon's really nice so I'm sure it'll be fine. I turn around to look at Solomon again and is eyes seem to linger on my face. Oh no, is it obvious I've been crying?
He just smiles and says "I hope Purgatory Hall can be your escape, MC. We all wish the best for you always."
That hits my heart and I stop myself from tearing up again. Solomon is really nice to me. I'm so glad I have him in my corner. He may not be the most trustworthy but he's the only other human here and the best resource I have when it comes to magical problems. I'm glad to call him a friend.
"So, now that we have that settled, would you like me to show you to Simeon's room? It's getting pretty late." I nod at Solomon's kind request.
"Sure." I follow as he turns and leads me to a hallway where I assume their rooms are. Solomon's cape flows quite elegantly when he moves. I can tell he's much more comfortable in his regular clothes than the RAD uniform.
"Here we are." Solomon knocks on Simeon's door and the angel opens it with a grin.
"MC, I'm happy to see you." I smile back at his kind words.
"I'm happy to see you too." I step forward into Simeon's room and see the ornately decorated space. It reminds me of the glimpses of the Celestial Realm I've seen through Lilith's memories.
"Well, I need to go back to what I was working on. I hope you have a good stay." Solomon speaks vaguely, like he doesn't want me knowing what he's doing. He often finds mischievous but mostly unharmful uses for magic. Like a chaotic-neutral wizard. I don't mind not knowing what comes next with Solomon, it gives a sense of adventure whenever he shows me something new.
Me and Simeon give our goodbyes and I'm left alone with the angel in his room. I turn around and speak.
"So, when it comes to sleeping arrangements, how will that work? I don't see any couches or anything in here like I remember Luke's room has."
"Well, my bed is rather large. If you don't mind, we could sleep together." My face goes bright red. He doesn't mean... what I think he means... right? Simeon looks at me quizzically for a moment then laughs. "Oh my! I completely forgot THAT's what humans assume when someone says 'sleep together'!" I bury my face in my hands. Of course not, he's a literal angel, what was I thinking? And knowing Solomon when he heard of this plan he conveniently 'forgot' as well. I should have NEVER mentioned I have a crush on Simeon to that bastard.
"I am so embarrassed..." I mumble into my hands. He laughs again.
"No, please don't be embarrassed, it was my mistake!" I peek through my hands at him. "I mean, it's natural for a human to assume something like that. The only beings completely free of sin are the highest level angels. Not even I am free from the occasional sinful thought." Huh, that's really interesting... I guess that explains why Luke can be so prideful. I raise my face from my hands.
"No, i-it's not like that-" I sigh "I live with Asmo. Its basically instinct at this point to take that phrase in a sexual way." Simeon frowns lightly at me.
"I hope the brothers aren't corrupting you." He looks at me with pity and I raise an eyebrow.
"Do you mean metaphorically or physically?" He looks to the side and sighs.
"I've never been one to give in to the myth that being near demons corrupts a human's soul, but Solomon has a theory that making pacts with the avatars of sin may make you feel that sin more strongly." He rubs the back of his neck and chuckles. "Don't tell him I told you, but he's confided in me that he's felt significantly more lust since making a pact with Asmodeus."
I start to think on the pacts I've made. If Solomon's theory is true, then I must be pretty corrupt at this point. Have the actions I've made down here all been influenced by that first pact with Mammon? I have been acting pretty greedy... and selfish...
