Obey Me Barbatos - Blog Posts
Alright everyone I have a question/request and hopefully some of you are willing to answer or participate. I want to know why your favorite obey me character is the best character. For instance if you like Solomon tell me why he’s so great, or if you like Raphael why is he the best angel boy. I will admit I do have favorites but I’m curious if anyone can convince me to like a character that I’m not sure about. I won’t say who they are though I want to hear honest opinions on this.

The votes came in and I delivered hopefully, so here’s obey me brain rot pt. 3
Again another shot but anyone like to rp obey me crossover with Twisted Wonderland?
Ok I'm bored PLZ anyone wanna rp "obey me" with me? It'll be great if your interested
Diavolo? Lonely? Nonsense! Just look at him and his best friends!
Listen, I'm a Barbatos enjoyer. I absolutely love how he looks, his character, his song...
But please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks the Nightbringer remix of 'Crazy About You' was done so dirty compared to the other remixes!😭 (I'll still listen to it everyday because Barbatos can do no wrong)
I was just bored and yah I did this
Also link here if ya wanna try!
I'm also curious as to why each om! boy is rated as such so to anyone doing this, I'd love to see your reasons! Tag me while you're at it too (if ya wanna)!
Here's mine if ya wanna read
I'm a HUGE simp for Barbatos and Solomon
I'd imagine that Simeon is obvious, but also because he's a writer like I am! Would love to exchange story ideas with him
Lucifer... Well, he is my type. Fancy and rich lol but he's very prideful so honestly, I much rather keep him as a friend to avoid couple fighting🙄but would still date him
Satan, also my type. Bookworm. But I see him as a sibling at most or a bestie
Diavolo... I really have no chance with him. Would love him as a bestie tho!
Mammon is too overbearing to me. I don't mind him. It's just that he gets annoying sometimes but I love him still
I used to simp for Beel until my feelings grew platonic and now I just wanna pat him and feed him. I see him as a sibling!
I only see Asmo as a bestie sorry
Honestly? Fuck Belphie and Levi. Belphie fucking killed me, used me, and definitely saw me as Lilith for a period of times. But... I suppose he can be tolerable
Levi tho? I'm sorry to all the Levi stans but HOLY SHIT this guy infuriates me TOO MUCH. I won't go into detail but fucking hell
WHOEVER SEXUALIZE OR LOVES LUKE ROMANTICALLY, PLEASE BLOCK ME. GO AWAY. I DON'T NEED CREEPS
Finally... FINALLY
His card... IS FINALLY MINE
Finally... FINALLY
His card... IS FINALLY MINE
Bestie! Solomon back at it again
MC: *giggles*
Solomon: *laughs* This is gonna be awesome.
MC: Oh, yeah, definitely.
Lucifer: *happens to walk past* ?!
Solomon: Oh, hey, Lucifer.
MC: Hello.
Lucifer: *quickly confiscates the magic potion bottle from Solomon, knowing it's a concoction that can melt anything and anyone* What do you think you're doing with this?! This is an extremely dangerous potion!
Solomon: Yeah, I know.
Lucifer: Of course, you know! MC doesn't-
MC: I know.
Lucifer: ...excuse me?
MC: I know.
Lucifer: Yes, I heard you! I just want to know why in the Devildom you're willing to use this potion knowing it could melt your skin in just a drop?!
MC: *shrugs*
Lucifer: You're- *frustrated sigh* unbelievable.
Solomon: Shh, shh, let them be. I'm here *smiles 'innocently'*
Lucifer: ...no. I'm taking this with me *walks away*
MC: *sad*
Solomon: Don't worry, MC *pulls out a small vial from his pocket with an evil smirk* I always have a backup plan after all.
MC: *evil smirk* This is why we're besties.
In the student council room...
Lucifer: *tired sigh* Can we pick another human?
Diavolo: Oh, but why? They're very entertaining so far. Don't you agree, Barbatos?
Barbatos: *smiles* Yes, Young Master.
Lucifer: You're only agreeing because you have to.
Somewhere outside: *terrified screams, glass smashing, sounds of fire crackling that causes the school's water sprinkler to activate and evil laughter*
The royals: ....
Diavolo: *laughs* It seems that I've brought the right human!
Lucifer: Diavolo!
I was bored
So I made these :D I can't find a lot of wallpapers with these two so I made some
AFTER A LOT OF GRINDING AND A LOT OF LOSING
I FINALLY HAVE BARBATOS' ANIMAL OUTFIT
SOLOMON, I'M COMING FOR YOUR CARD NEXT
Barbatos Is So Pretty
You cannot tell me that he isn't pretty. He's even prettier than Asmo! Fuck getting that simeon card! I need to have this card
GN! MC
You spit out your beverage as you stare at Barbatos with wide eyes who's apparently now a woman. Yes. A woman. The butler notices your staring and sighs, knowing that you're staring at him because he's now the opposite gender. "MC, I know that I've changed into a woman but staring is considered rude, you know?"
You quickly snap back to reality and turn away, laughing nervously. "Ahaha, well, I can't help it."
Barbatos sighs once again but smiles nonetheless. "It's fine. It's understandable why you stare but I appreciate it if you don't. Anyway, I'll be off."
You take one last look at Barbatos, watching as he walks away until he's no longer within your sight. Then, you immediately combust, face turning red and you bury your face in your hands.
'He's so pretty!', you thought.
Yes, he was extremely pretty, prettier than Asmodeus even. With his long hair flowing so nicely as he walks, his lips looking softer and plumper than before and his face so feminine and beautiful that you couldn't help but want to touch. He was so beautiful as a woman that you're now questioning if you like him better as a man or a woman.
"Yo!" A hand harshly hits your back, making you jump.
You turn to face Solomon who's looking at you with a smirk. He then puts a hand on your shoulder and leans towards you. "So, what did you think of Barbatos' new look?"
"What?" It took you a while to register his words. "Wait, you did that?"
"Yes, but not intentionally. You see, I was trying out a new spell to make one disintegrate into thin air but I must've put in the wrong ingredient because while I was going to test it on some random demon asshole, I accidentally bumped into Barbatos because I was in a hurry and now here we are." The wizard explains.
"I'm surprised he isn't angry."
"I'm more surprised he hasn't killed me yet."
Internally, you are praising and thanking Solomon for blessing you with such a thing because Barbatos is so fucking pretty as a woman. As if your friend can read your mind, he smirks and pokes your cheek. "You like him better this way, don't you?"
Your face is immediately flaming once again. "N-No! W-Well... Maybe..."
Solomon's smirk widens. "Oh?"
"You can't blame me! He looks so pretty that I... I, well... Gah! Forget it!" You get flustered when you remember Barbatos again.
"C'mon. Don't tell me you weren't looking."
"I am looking respectfully!"
"Liar."
"Shush!"
You cover your face again and shout out incoherent sentences but if Solomon had to guess, he bets you were saying something like, "Barbatos is so pretty, it's not fair."
The wizard laughs and pats your back. "Let it all out, buddy. I gotta admit, if he were a woman, I'd totally try and woo him. Definitely my type."
You turn your head towards Solomon so quickly you might as well be the Flash. "How dare you."
"Just because I say I'd fuck him, doesn't mean I'd actually do that." He laughs, making you glare at him.
Sure, not like you wouldn't do the same.
WTF (Small... Crack)
GN! MC
*****
Diavolo, Barbatos, Lucifer and MC are in Diavolo's study room to play some card games. While they were playing, MC received a call. Upon picking it up...
MC: Yeah?
MC holds their D.D.D. between their head and shoulder, eyes not taking off from their hand to arrange the cards in strength.
Luke: MC, please help us...
MC: Hm? What happened?
Luke: Solomon... He, uh... He's in the kitchen. Half naked, covered in whatever sauce and is running around the burning stove yelling... Macarena?
Just as he said that, MC grabs their phone and stares at the screen, face unamused. Can they go one day without having to deal with Solomon's shit? Don't get them wrong. They love Solomon with all their heart but often times, they always clean up his mess. With a sigh, MC places their cards downwards and stands.
MC: I'll be there in five...
Luke: *sounds traumatized* Please hurry. Now's he's on the counter doing some-
Simeon: Simeon here. Get here as quick as you can. I've shielded Luke's eyes. He's on the counter... Twerking, as you people say
MC: *pinches the bridge of their nose* Oh, for the love of- I'll be there *hangs up*
Diavolo: What happened?
MC: I'll explain later. I need to save the kitchen for a bit
Barbatos: WHAT?! *gets up and grabs MC's arm before zooming out from the room*
Diavolo: ...
Lucifer: ...
Diavolo: So... Should we peek at their cards?
Lucifer: *sighs like the tired mom that he is*
Rain (Barbatos x Reader)
Female! Reader
Slight angst but with a happy ending
In the human realm there you stood, under the heavy rain that wets your figure, soaking your entire being with its polluted water but you couldn't care less about how you'll get sick afterwards. No. You stare into nothingness, the heavy rain greatly limiting your field of vision to maybe one to two meters and even so, objects are extremely blurry.
The reason why you're under the rain is because you're heartbroken. It's stupid, yes, you know but he was your fiance of three years so it's heart shattering and as if your life line is plugged out when you caught him in action with another woman, balls deep into her as her moans fill the room, clearly having a good time. The reason for his cheating is because you didn't want to have sexual intercourse with him but being the religious person you are, you stated that you didn't want to have sex until after marriage but it seems that he couldn't wrap his mind around the idea.
'He only wants you for your body', your best friend said, attempting to comfort you but it didn't do much as your mind wanders to that specific moment in your life.
'He's the one missing out! It just means that he wasn't your soulmate. God has other plans for you', then why did He has to make it so painful to you?
'Fuck that guy! I hope he gets condemned to Hell', you wish too but you try to get yourself out of that mind set since it's quite the sin to wish someone that.
All these allegations are true, yet here you are, under the rain thinking negatively about yourself. Weren't you pretty enough? Wasn't your company enough for him? Satisfying enough for him? You let out a shaky breath and close your eyes, the rain getting heavier if that's possible. You really want to disappear off the surface of the Earth but you didn't. Again, it's a great sin if you did it.
So, you resorted to just being sad and crying out your sadness all alone. It was... Comforting, to say the very least and with the rain, it's easy to cover up your tears and voice.
"ARGH!" You screamed out loud. You could barely make out your own voice. Perfect.
So you screamed again and again and again until you ran out of energy. If you can't hurt or kill yourself, you might as well tire yourself and just go to sleep. But even so, you figured that you might have nightmares regarding what happened to you just yesterday so you might as well completely drain your energy until you can't move.
With one last scream of frustration and anger, you drop to your knees and let tears flow down your face. God, you just wanted to kill yourself but you can't. Sometimes you wish you weren't that religious but it's these times that you're also glad.
How long have you been under the rain? Half an hour? An hour? More than that? You don't know nor do you care at this point. You certainly couldn't care less about your health as well. You just want to hide under the rain so when you thought the rain stopped, you were confused. It's still raining yet why aren't you under it? Then, you look up.
An umbrella.
"Wha?" You breathe out under your breath as you look at the person holding the umbrella.
Due to the darkness, you can't really see his features but you can tell that he's wearing a suit and has gloves on. His expression though empty as ever, his eyebrows are furrowed as if to mimic confusion. He holds out a hand for you to grab and for a moment, flashbacks of your ex-boyfriend doing the same fills your vision and you shake your head.
The man assumes that you didn't want help and retracts his hand. You stand up but wobbled a bit due to you kneeling for so long, causing you to accidentally grab the man's arm. He was as still as a statue, seemingly unbothered by the fact that you just threw yourself towards him. You mutter an apology even though he won't hear it and didn't bother to squeeze water out your hair or clothes.
"Are you okay, miss?" He asks.
You nod and look away, slightly embarrassed of your appearance at the moment. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'll be going now."
"Wait."
You turn to him. "Do you need something, sir?"
Lightning strikes, lighting up the darkness and you only manage to see his features clearly for a few seconds. Beautiful emerald eyes, green hair gradienting to a teal down his bangs on the left side of his face and no expression at all yet it seems to compliment his handsome features. For a moment, you forgot to breathe. How can a man this beautiful exist?
"You just seem sad and I know that I'm just a stranger, a nobody to you but I do have some time to spare before I go back to serve my master." He states.
You were suspicious. The world is a dangerous place and if a handsome man like Ted Bundy can turn out to be a manipulative murderer, then surely, the man in front of you can do the same.
When no answer is heard from you, he sighs and puts a hand over his heart before bowing down to you, much to your surprise. "I am Barbatos, the butler to my master, Lord Diavolo."
"I... I see." You weren't expecting a butler to be by your side.
"You now know my name, my occupation and my master. Surely, this is enough information for you." The butler, you now know as Barbatos, said.
"Oh, uh, yeah." You awkwardly fidget around. He's just too formal with you that makes it uncomfortable for you.
"So, may I know what is the cause of your sadness? Why are you just kneeling under the heavy rain? Are you not scared of what might happen to you if you were to stay too long out here?" He shoots you question after question.
You wanted to tell him but you're scared of the thought of him ridiculing you. Your fiance's friends did, is he any different?
Barbatos sighs once again and mumbles something before saying, "I do not wish to make you uncomfortable. I do apologize if I do happen to make you feel that way. All I want to do is lend an ear. It is not too wrong of me to do so, is it now?"
You look at the more interesting ground. "Why do you even want to listen to my problems anyway? A butler like you shouldn't help me. You must have other jobs to do and even if I tell you, it's not like you're gonna use that information."
"Maybe, maybe not. But I just want to help."
Damn, he's persistent, you thought. It's not like you're ungrateful, it's more like preventing other people from meddling into your own problems that you can handle by yourself. You didn't need or want someone else's help. You can figure everything out yourself.
And yet...
"Kill me."
The butler was surprised. "Excuse me, but could you repeat what you just said?"
"Ah..." You shake your head. What were you thinking? "I'm sorry. I'll leave."
Just as you turn away, a hand grabs your arm. "Wait."
You wait for him to talk.
"I know I have no place to say this, and it's ironic that I'm the one who's saying this, but don't do it. Life may be hard for you but surely, there must be people who love you. I don't know what happened and really, I have no say in this, if you're thinking about suicide, shouldn't you do something you love? Be with the people you love instead of suffering all alone and eventually hurting other people?"
You look back at him with tears welling up in your eyes. "This is a stupid reason and all, but I just... Can't. The person I love betrayed me. He... He promised."
Barbatos lets go of your hand. "Then, that just means he's a liar, a toxic person in your life. Is it not a relief that you found out instead of being blinded by his lies?"
You wanted to talk back but you bite back your tongue. It is true. Better now then never. You think for a while before forcing a smile on your face. "I suppose so. Thanks for... Talking, I guess. I really appreciate it."
A small smile curl his lips, enhancing his already handsome face. "You're welcome."
*****
Barbatos finally went back to Lord Diavolo's castle after buying all the necessary items from the human realm.
"Barbatos! There you are! Where have you been? It took longer than usual. Did it run out of stock or something?" Lord Diavolo asks as he goes through his endless pile of paperwork.
The butler bows down to his master as a form of apology. "I am sorry, My Lord. No, it's not because of that."
"Then, what took you so long?"
Memories of the rainy scene plays in his head but he answered differently despite knowing that Lord Diavolo can tell between a truth and a lie. "There was a fuss over a mistake I did, My Lord. Wouldn't this new generation call that a 'Karen'?"
Though he knows, Lord Diavolo was more interested in the name the humans gave for someone with such an attitude. "A Karen, huh? Call Levi here! I need to know what that means!"
The day continues on like normal but Barbatos kept on wondering why the devils did he help such a helpless human who's willing to kill themself just because of a broken heart? He doesn't understand his own actions and frankly, he doesn't wish to know why either. He's a demon, a duke, an earl, he shouldn't care so why did he help that one human?
Ahh, of course.
"Welcome to Devildom!"
"Barbatos?"
He bows down to the new exchange student and smiles at you. "Welcome, MC."
"You were a fucking demon?!" You were surprised rather than scared.
"Were?" Lucifer asks but is ignored when both you and Barbatos wouldn't answer him.
How have the Fates destined the both of you to meet again.
Solomon x GN! MC
Warning! Death, angst
*****
Solomon, a powerful wizard, is your lover. How you manage to acquire his love and attention is beyond everyone else and even you sometimes, but you're glad that you're his and he's yours. Unfortunately, your medical background doesn't paint a pretty picture for you.
It's been at least three months since you and Solomon has been together, madly in love. How you wish that you didn't have to break news to him but you must since he will find out sooner or later. You have informed the seven avatars and angels that your condition is deteriorating with Lord Diavolo and Barbatos already knowing beforehand. As much as you wanted to live, knowing what happened to their sister, Lilith, you didn't want to cause more harm than you've already done.
"Hey, MC." Mammon starts up a conversation while you're watching both him and Leviathan play a game.
You hum in response. With much hesitation, the greedy demon asks, "When are ya' going to tell him?"
Silence. Leviathan elbows Mammon in the guts as you thought of a response, finally answering his question with, "Tomorrow. It'll be cruel if I continue this charade with him."
A dry laugh emits from your starting to pale lips. "I'm so cruel to him, aren't I? He deserves someone better, not someone who's dying so easily from a disease."
The moment the words rolled off your tongue, Mammon and Leviathan abandon their game, not caring that their characters are getting killed on screen. The secondborn grabs your shoulders and gently shakes you, saying, "Are ya' crazy? It's us and him that don't deserve ya'!"
"For once, Mammon's right. Don't ever say that again, MC!" The envious demon said in turn.
But they only receive yet another short and dry laugh. "I only have one month left to live. No one can help me now nor will I ever live as long as Solomon hoped. I... I'm such a terrible partner and friend."
This time, it's the thirdborn who shakes you by the shoulders. "No, you're not! You're the one who managed to keep up together! Without you, who knows what would've happened to us! To Belphegor even!"
A sad, small smile manage to make its way to your lips. "I don't know what have I done to deserve you guys but I'm glad to have met you."
*****
The next day arrived quicker than you've had anticipated. Handkerchief in hand, you cover your mouth with the small cloth as you cough into it while mentally hoping that blood doesn’t stain your handkerchief. Lucifer and Satan, who are by your side, only looks at you with concerned looks, feeling useless and helpless since they can't do anything to help except be there for you.
"MC!" A familiar cheery voice is heard from behind. Oh, how have the Fates become to cruel.
You quickly hide the cloth in your pocket and turn to Solomon with the same lovely smile you always give him. "Yo', Solomon!"
Taking their cue to leave, Lucifer and Satan leaves you with your lover. Once you two stand face-to-face with each other, your lovely smile is slowly replaced with a sorrowful look on your face. The wizard quickly took note of this and questions about your sudden change in expression.
You tightly grab his hand as if your life depended on it, staring into his eyes. A barely audibly whisper 'follow me' left your lips as you drag him to somewhere private. After checking that nobody will eavesdrop on your conversation, you let our a sigh and your heartbeat begins to pick up its pace.
Your silence only makes Solomon worry more and a million negative thoughts occupy his mind. Do you want to break up with him? Did you not love him anymore? Did something bad happened? Unfortunately, what you said only made him stare at you with both shock and horror.
"Solomon, I have to tell you about my... My health. It's getting worse the last few months and both Lucifer and Lord Diavolo tried their best to find the best doctors from each realm to try and help me but... There's no cure. There's... Not much time left for me."
Solomon refuses to believe those words. He takes a step back and shakes his head. "Th-This is n-not funny, M-MC. P-Please t-tell me it's a joke."
But you shake your head. "I wish it was but it's not a joke. I'm dying, Solomon. I only have one month left to live."
"N-No. No, no, no. M-Maybe I can learn a-a healing spell o-or whip up a-"
You shut him up by grabbing his hands and placing your head against his chest, hearing his rapid heartbeat. "Please, Solomon. If Lord Diavolo or Simeon can't do it, what can you do? We're only humans, Solomon. We're the weakest of the three realms. What makes you think you can find a spell, much less a cure for me? My time is almost up, Solomon. At least let me spend my last moments with the people I love."
Still, he refuses to believe you but... "Fine. Fine. I-I'll respect that."
You feel wet droplets soaking your scalp but you couldn't care less. The both of you stayed like that until the bell rung. Unfortunately, your classes with Solomon are very little and limited so when you exit the room, he hugs you tightly before sadly parting from you.
Ever since that day, Solomon tries to spend as much time with you and even sleeps with you with Lucifer's permission. When your condition worsened however, Lord Diavolo has declared that you no longer have to attend school and is issued to be moved to his castle so that Barbatos can take care of you.
The week of the retreat that is held at Lord Diavolo's castle has came around. How unfortunate can you be? It's also your last week here. Upon finally meeting you, Solomon is quick to engulf you in a tight, warm hug.
Your last week is spent with everyone you loved, like what you've requested to the wizard but time doesn't wait for no one. Your body is extremely weak to the point where you sometimes would fall and pass out. Your coughing fits have become a frequent and daily thing, much to everyone's dismay. Your energy is slow to replenish, your health deteriorating quickly, your face looks like you haven't slept in days and your life force quickly fading away.
Today is the last day of retreat and also your last day on Earth. You wish you hadn't been chosen for this exchange program as you knew that you've hurt everyone but at the same time, you're glad as well or else you would never meet such amazing people, especially Solomon.
In your temporary room, Asmodeus does your makeup to make you seem more lively than ever before for everyone. Your tired eyes only stare out of the window, the dark sky decorated by sprinkles of lights and a crescent moon. Breathing has also becoming an exercise for you, only receiving oxygen through your mouth. As Asmodeus works on your blush, you suddenly have a coughing fit.
The fourthborn quickly grabs your handkerchief and hands it to you to which you quickly snatch it from his hand and cover your mouth with. After a few moments, you wipe your mouth and look at the pool of scarlet that the cloth had manage to absorb. Asmodeus only sighs at the sight, quickly applying the blush for you before you could have another fit.
"There we go." He stands up and smiles at you as if you were a piece of priceless artwork. "You look stunning."
"Thanks, Asmo." You stand up and approach the mirror provided in the room. In the mirror, you do appear to have more life.
"Let's go." The demon opens the door for you and helps you walk towards the ballroom.
When you arrive to your desired area, the wizard is quick to greet you which prompts Asmodeus to leave the both of you. "You look amazing as always, MC. I wish the makeup is real..."
You only offer him a small smile, your croaky voice uttering out, "I'll be fine. Let's enjoy this final night."
Solomon's eyes are filled with sadness and despair but for you, he's willing to be happy for you. Music fills the room and your lover extends a hand for you to grab and you did. His other hand gently wraps around your torso as you hold onto his shoulder, the both of you start to dance despite your weak body but he did slow down his movements so that you could keep up with him. Unlike last time around, only the demons, angels and humans alike are present in the room, the other two species watching as the both of you sway with the melody. In that very moment, so many thoughts had pop up in his head.
How he wished that he was more powerful. How he wished that there was a cure for your illness. How he wished that Simeon had the power to help you. How he wished that you can remain in his arms forever. How he wished that this moment will last forever.
How he also wished that he had never met you.
Yet here he is, dancing with his partner, desperately trying not to tear up for their sake. When the music stopped and the way you fall into his arms, he knew that you only had moments left to live so he hugs you once again, placing his lips on your forehead. His soft lips linger on your skin for a few moments before looking at you. "What else do you want to do?"
"Play... Play something on- on the harp for me, S-Solomon." You requested, your exhausted eyes starting to droop.
He nods his head. "Whatever you want, my love."
The wizard slowly guides you towards the instruments provided in the room, taking a seat on the small bench with you sitting beside him. Everyone else only watches both of your movements, not making a ruckus like how they'd usually do.
"Solomon..." You breathe out, placing your head on his shoulder as you make yourself comfortable next to him. "Play... Play that song."
Your voice becomes quieter the more you speak. Solomon closes his eyes and takes a breather. He wanted to cry, he wanted to hug you, he wanted to see your face one last time before you permanently close your eyes but he holds himself back. His shaky hands make their way towards the strings and his fingers start plucking the strings, a beautiful melody you had always loved plays.
Though, not even a minute through, you started coughing which made your lover stop and check up on you. Luckily, it wasn’t as severe so you said, "Continue no matter what. I want to hear you play one last time."
His lips quiver but he fulfills your request nonetheless. His fingers never stop plucking the strings even if you had to cough. Midway through, you close your eyes, your breathing starting to become slower. Everyone else in the room senses that your life force is fading rather quickly but doesn't utter a word about it.
Solomon notices the sudden weight on his shoulder but doesn't stop. Though, this time, he doesn't deny his tears and lets them flow down his face. When he finally finishes playing your favourite melody, he immediately wraps his arms around your limp body. He places his head on your shoulder and his tears soak your clothes.
Mammon, Leviathan, Asmodeus, Beelzebub and Luke are also crying, knowing that you're now gone. Lord Diavolo, Barbatos, Lucifer, Satan, Belphegor and Simeon only watches from afar, everyone's hearts crushed when you're finally out from your misery but hurts further when they hear the loud, sad and ugly cries from Solomon as he grips onto your body tighter, desperately trying to get you to wake up when you won't.
-END-
I hope you enjoyed this small story. My favourite headcannon of Solomon is that he plays the harp and I had to include that here. Anyway, here’s the song he played.
The brothers + undateables if they were to pick up an instrument
-The brothers-
Lucifer:
- surprise, surprise
- he's a piano guy
- but there's a reason to this
- back in the Celestial Realm, many angels, including his own siblings, admired and loved his piano playing
- even on the day where Diavolo came, he played the piano that enchanted him
- Lilith especially loved the piano
- after falling in Devildom, he avoided the piano at all costs
- he doesn't want to cry
- for once, he thanks his never-ending paperwork as he can use that as an excuse to avoid playing his favourite instrument
- but the few times he did play the piano, Mammon always seem to catch Lucifer crying while playing
- he has a love and hate relationship with the piano
Mammon:
- he isn't talented when it comes to playing instruments
- but when he stumbled upon the kalimba, he couldn't help but be addicted to playing it
- it's such a small and simple instrument, he just absolutely loves it
- loves the beautiful melody his kalimba makes
- hides this talent from his brothers for fear that they might ridicule him for playing such an instrument
- but one day while playing the kalimba to pass time, Asmodeus was in love with the melody and was confused as to what instrument would make such a sound and follows it
- finds Mammon playing the kalimba alone in the planetarium
- and calls the others to listen to Mammon playing the instrument
- the rest were enchanted by Mammon's playing
- doesn't talk about it
- until it was Beelzebub's and Belphegor's birthday
- the twins requested that Mammon plays the kalimba
- is taken aback but doesn't protest
- Mammon plays his favourite melody on the kalimba
- everyone likes that
Leviathan:
- plays the flute
- but only does it because he saw Ruri-chan playing it
- is surprisingly naturally talented on the flute
- when his package arrived, his brothers thought it was just more merch and figurines
- nope, it was his flute
- while he was practicing playing an anime opening, Lucifer overheard his playing
- thought it was beautiful
- eventually, Lucifer had to barge in and interrupt his playing because Levi had done a little prank on him
- Levi was nervous about his punishment but instead of that, Lucifer requests that he plays something on the flute
- anxiety through the roof and probably up in the Celestial Realm
- his hands were shaky at first but after a few seconds, he got into playing that as if Lucifer suddenly disappeared from his room
- playing beautifully and happily as if there was no tomorrow
- after playing, Lucifer praises Levi's talent and his face is just red
Satan:
- surprise, surprise 2.0
- violin guy
- he wasn't interested in such an instrument at first but finds out that according to the humans, it was one of the most difficult instruments to play
- decides to take the challenge
- he regrets ever underestimating just how difficult playing the violin is
- at first, he ironically plays it just to show who's boss
- now he can't stop playing
- the first time he tried to play it, his arm is sore, neck is stuck in a certain position and cramps are terrible
- but after Beelzebub offers to give him a massage after each violin session, he was more fired up to prove the humans wrong
- low-key was praising each human and person who were able to stand through the torture of violin playing
- when he finally got the hang of it, the first piece he played is his favourite cursed song
- it was more beautiful and melodic on the violin than the original instrument
- is in love with the new melody and loves the song even more
- occasionally stays back at school to play the violin provided at RAD's music room
- girls (and maybe some guys) heard his playing and immediately fell in love with it
- for the rest of school days, Satan finds mysterious love letters left on his desk, in his locker, sometimes given by teachers themselves and has no idea why
- the rest of his brothers knew but doesn't say anything
Asmodeus:
- he wouldn't want to ruin anything on his body or leave any kind of bruise anywhere
- but he makes he makes an exception only for one instrument
- the guitar
- when he first started picking up the instrument, he immediately wanted to quit playing because his fingers hurt
- but after watching a couple of videos of people playing the guitar AND still having beautiful hands, he decides to play it once again
- it was torture for him and almost quit again but he finds out that some people wears bandages around their fingers to protect them
- and so he did
- eventually, he takes it off after mastering simple switching
- his fingers hurt once again but doesn't mind because he loves playing the guitar
- and because of his constant playing, his skin has grown thicker to withstand the strings of the guitar
- now it doesn't hurt whenever he plays
- the few rare times where he actually plays the guitar for someone, with his charm and melody, the person immediately falls in love with him
- his brothers were pleasantly surprised when they found out that he plays the guitar instead of any other instrument
- he takes pride in that
Beelzebub:
- surprise, surprise 3.0
- dude plays the drums
- he's into metal
- one day while watching some mukbang videos, he accidentally clicked on a Jacksepticeye drum cover video and was wondering how can he multitask like that
- so he told Lucifer that he wanted to practice playing drums
- Lucifer was surprised but doesn't protest his brother's request
- he found out just how difficult it is playing drums
- but once he got the hang of it, his level of playing can be compared to a veteran's
- a group of band saw him playing and offered if Beel wanted to join
- he immediately agreed to it and now thanks to him, the band is well-known in the Devildom
- sometimes would perform during assembly under Diavolo's request
- everyone listening was headbanging and yelling at the top of their lungs
- every time the band perform, it's always lively due to how catchy and metal the music was
- sometimes, Beel would give up his meals just to practice with his band mates
- loves it whenever he rocks the stage
Belphegor:
- sleepy boi
- doesn't want to move much
- so he plays the theremin
- according to a lot of people, it's one of the more difficult instruments to play as you need to have a good ear and there's a lot of tricks you have to learn with your hands
- but this boi is gifted with perfect pitch
- takes up the theremin
- for a beginner, he's not that bad
- after hours and hours of practice, he plays the theremin expertly
- it's a peculiar but interesting instrument so his brothers nag him to play it
- is annoyed by the constant nagging so he just plays a short song
- the melody is somewhat alien-like but it was also somewhat beautiful
- his brothers loves how he plays the theremin
- sometimes would play it for Beel if he has difficulties in sleeping
- only plays a certain song originating from when they were back in the Celestial Realm
- is the only lullaby Beel sleeps to
- Belphie is happy to play it for his twin
-Undateables-
Diavolo:
- for some reason, this man loves anything that's got to do with anything Irish or Scottish
- when he finds out that they were the two main countries that played bagpipes, he couldn't help but order Barbatos to get him one as well
- and also a kilt
- playing the bagpipe was difficult but he found an instructor to teach him how to play it
- hours and hours of practice, he finally manages to play it
- now whenever he has free time, he would play his favourite songs on the bagpipe with Barbatos surprisingly loving to listen to him play
- though, sometimes when Lucifer, or even more rarer times when his brothers join him, Diavolo would jump out while playing the bagpipe, playing an iconic Irish/Scottish song
- with a kilt
- as much as Lucifer wanted to scold him, he couldn't help but also enjoy the song
- and his random shenanigans
- though, if he were to play for his partner, he would play a romantic song on his bagpipe
- unless his partner asks otherwise then expect him to jump around playing a silly song...
- ...while wearing a kilt
Barbatos:
- this boi has little to no time at all
- is constantly stressed inside
- but when he realizes that the melodies of a cello calms him down greatly and can put his insomniac mind to sleep, he immediately gets himself one
- since he's a Jack of all trades, he's a natural at playing the cello
- because of this talent, Diavolo has instructed him one too many times to play the cello either for him or for guests
- but this is a task he doesn't mind doing
- though, sometimes when he's extremely tired, he dozes off while playing
- Diavolo doesn't mind if Barb plays only for him
- but if he dozed off around guests, Diavolo will nudge him and tell him that it's not appropriate for him to sleep in front of guests
- he immediately apologizes and continues playing the cello
- after a party, he will play a lullaby on his cello as to calm down the ruckus the guests might make
- Belphie will 11/10 summon Barb to play for him if it weren't for the fact that he had to ask permission from Diavolo first
Simeon:
- dude's an angel
- obviously will play the lyre
- his music is literally just angelic
- but he mainly plays the lyre to put Luke to sleep whenever he has a nightmare or just can't sleep in general
- but back when Lucifer and his brothers, exclude Satan, were in the Celestial Realm, he and Lucifer always play together
- they were the perfect duo
- with the angelic sounds of a lyre and harmonious tunes of a piano, it's impossible to not get drawn in and enchanted
- everyone in the Celestial Realm will literally kill if it meant that they get to see them play
- but after the brothers had fallen, Simeon no longer plays the lyre as he feels sad and distant whenever he plays it
- he misses their music
- that is, until Luke came unto his life
- Luke never got a chance to listen to both Simeon and Lucifer play so when he saw a dusty lyre in the depths of Simeon's stuff, he begs the other to play for him
- Simeon, not being able to say no, plays the lyre for Luke
- Luke falls asleep
- Simeon takes note of this and promises himself to play only for Luke
- now whenever he plays the lyre, he can push back the memories and focus on the younger angel
Solomon:
- most people were surprised when they found out that he plays the harp
- he states that he never intended to play the harp as he had never shown interest in it before
- but someone in his life changed that fact
- he doesn't let other people know but he plays the harp in hopes that he gets to have a duo with the person
- unfortunately, that person had sadly passed away due to complicated health issues
- he knew that person absolutely loves the harp so on their funeral, he brought the harp and played for them one last time
- now, he plays it for fun and to remember that person
- sometimes he plays the harp in the middle of the night, in a park where there's no one
- if you manage to catch him play it, you will see tears flowing down his face as he plays a beautiful melody
- he looks okay afterwards as to not worry or bother anyone else
- but on Asmo's birthday, he requests that Solomon plays the melody he always plays for that one person
- he hesitates but plays it nonetheless
- for once, in front of everyone, he cries
- everyone was surprised but doesn't make fun of him
- when Asmo questions about it, he dodges it like how he usually does and wipes his tears
- he apologizes and snaps his fingers, making the harp disappear before walking off to mourn more on his own
Luke:
- when he heard Simeon's playing for the first time, he wanted to play an instrument alongside him
- so he picked up the lute
- it was the perfect size for him so he easily practices with the instrument
- his fingers hurt but he still practices in hopes that he can be as skillful as Simeon and that he can make beautiful music like him
- boi is determined
- when he finally can play several intermediate level tunes, he figured that he wanted to tell Simeon about it
- Simeon was more than happy to play with him
- so when the both of them played their instruments together, if you're sleepy enough, it just makes you feel like you're in heaven
- Solomon almost had a heart attack once because of this
- but during the retreat at Diavolo's castle, they played their tunes together and the former angels just smile contentedly at their music
- it's been a while since they've listen to angels playing their songs
- Asmo almost cried
- who can blame him tho? Luke and Simeon together almost makes a perfect duo as Simeon and Lucifer
I just won this one and I love it
GUESS WHO REMEMBERED TUMBLR EXISTED. omfg. finals and then holiday seasons r a rough time 4 art … finally made a little sheet thing of all my obm character hcs!!! just missing raph and mephisto since i’m still working on those ones :]
i was originally. JUST gonna do mammon actually , hence y his is the most detailed .. but then it was sm fun i wanted 2 do lucifer and satan LOL
N THEN FROM HERE I GOT CARRIED AWAY N WENT “well might as well do all of them now!!!”
i just completely got rid of Asmo’s default outfit in my head .. i’m not its biggest fan ..
THESE TOOK THE LOBGEST. GREAT HEAVENS
idk how to .. iridescent-ify Solo’s hair in the obm artstyle but .. imagine that it is
Mephie and raph r still pending but!!!!! having so much fun w it .. and now i add my 70 million tags for . Every obm character omfg
Aged Barbatos is making rounds again suddenly so here’s a master post of all the art I’ve done for easy findings and viewing!
Thinking about…
Thinking about your first time using a flogger on Barbatos. The wooden handle heavy in your hand but also empowering in a way. Being about to whip and caress a demon as powerful as Barbatos, to see this side of him was addicting. The marks left by the leather if even for a moment sending adrenaline through your veins, and the sounds he makes as the leather makes contact with his skin were heavenly even coming from a demon. Low grunts and groans that sent heat rushing through your body as even what little you were wearing became too much to handle.
If I was a rat
MC: Hey Barb, I have a question
Barbatos: (Already sensing some bullshit) What is it MC?
MC: Would you still love me if I was a rat?
Barbatos: Who said I loved you now?? (He definitely does)
MC: But what if I was a rat???
Barbatos: Like Solomon?
MC: Sure🧍
Barbatos: No.
It was you who confessed first
Please force him to take breaks, he’s literally always working
And early on, that caused some problems between the two of you
But Barbatos is a decent communicator
So all problems are usually resolved without a fight
His love languages are acts of service and gift giving
He’s super touch starved though so please hug him
Not super talkative so ya’ll just hang out in silence doing your own things
Baking together <3
NSFW
Sir Kink.
He also likes his pleasure with a side of pain <33
So whip him, chain him, it don’t matter
Gives oral like an absolute beast, he won’t stop till you're begging
Edging yourself on his shoes when he’s being mean :(
He’s absolutely feral for lingerie
Let him tie you up and use you as he pleases <3
Pet names like darling, and my love are his go to’s
There is nothing that reminds me more of the beauty of Autistic Hyperfixations, than what my past week/month has been.
A long time ago, I started playing an Otome Game called Obey Me! (It's a good game, with compelling writing, and a good workaround for representing You/The Main Character). One of the characters I got very attached to was the Butler, Barbatos. His love of different teas, and the variety, and his insistence on high quality tea had me curious about it all; I much prefer a Flavoured Water of some kind, I find it generally easier to drink.
So, I looked into Tea Quality, Loose Leaf Teas; and then High Quality, Full Leaf Looseleaf teas that have no crumbs, just pure quality no-bitter aftertaste. And recently, I bought a whole lot of tea, enough to last me to the end of the year, because I have been wanting it, and I love the quality, and it's been worth saving up for it.
How does this all tie together? Well ... Since I could afford it, and I just got a whole bunch of high quality teas ... Why not buy the Obey Me! Barbatos plushie so he can enjoy my high quality teas with me?
I look forward to seeing him in June. And I'll be sure to have a nice glass of Shō Pu-er ready for him when he gets here ♥
Thinking about Obey Me!, thinking about Barbatos. Thinking about Barbatos from Obey Me!.
6th July, 2022
Wow thank you so much for the fanfiction! He raised my self-esteem a little!
They Believe What?
Flags: mild angst, body issues, self doubt
MC has body issues, that they have hid from the brothers. Now that a fancy ball is on the horizon those doubts have risen, and they seek to change themselves thinking it will make things better, make the brothers feel proud to be with them. Not realizing that the brothers already feel proud of MC. When they find out, they find a way to make MC understand, they don’t need to change. The are perfect and loveable as they are!
Beel rummaged through the fridge, agitated and frowning. “There’s gotta be something! I gotta find something!” Mammon shut the kitchen door and entered the family room. “What’s got Beel all upset? He’s in the kitchen acting like he’s done somethin’ to make Lord Diavolo mad!” He threw himself into a chair and flicked through his apps on his phone. Satan put his book down and frowned. “I’m not sure, but I think it might have to do with MC. Beel gave them one of his cupcakes and they turned it down. Beel was upset but didn’t say anything at the time.” Levi looked up from his game. “MC turned it down? That’s funny… MC loves those cupcakes almost as much as Beel.” Asmo nodded as he placed a tiny star on his fingernail, positioning it just so. “Oooh I love them too, so I know MC would never turn one down! It’s not like we get them on a regular basis!” He blew gently to help dry the glue. Then he looked up. “But, you know..is it me, or has MC seemed off lately?” The others frowned but nodded. MC had been off.
Satan nodded. “They barely moved at the cat cafe. Normally they play with the cats, but this time they just sat and listlessly pet them. They said they were tired..” He frowned as he recalled the memory.
Belphie sat up from his nap, rubbing his eyes. “Yeah, yesterday when I asked if they would nap with me, they just got mad and pushed me away.” He pouted, acting the disgruntled younger brother, but silently he worried. Why would MC push him away?
The front door opened and Lucifer entered, arms loaded with bags. “Mammon! Come help me.” He handed bags over to Mammon who’d reluctantly got up after being threatened to lose his precious Goldie. “Wha’ is all this?” He tried to look inside a bag.
“MC asked me to pick some things up for them on the way home.” Lucifer’s eyebrows furrowed. “Although I’m unclear why we need so much yogurt and celery. I think even Beel would take some time to make a dent in this amount.” Asmo started, his jewelled nail accessories falling off the table. “What did you say?! Yogurt and celery!?” His voice rose to a shriek as he flung himself at Mammon and ripped a bag out of his hands. “Oh no! Oh no! There are grapefruits as well! Oh MC!”
The others stared at him in shock. Lucifer coughed and spoke up. “And why, exactly does this upset you Asmo?” The others nodded, totally baffled at Asmo’s reaction, like something horrible had happened. Asmo whipped out a container of yogurt and waved it around to emphasize his words. “Because MC was complaining they were fat! Fat! And that they needed to do something quick! Before the RAD dance Diavolo has planned! Don’t you see??!” He threw the container on the table and started pulling groceries out of the bags. “This! All of this! MC thinks this”, he sneered the words out, “diet! Ugh! Is going to solve all the problems they think they have because they hate their body!”
Mammon gasped.”wait, ya sayin’ that MC doesn’t like themselves? Why the hell not? They’re gorgeous! You all agree right!?” He glanced at the others who were all nodding in agreement. MC had shown them pictures that they’d said were of people who humans desired and wanted to be like, but none of them had considered that MC thought they were less than those other humans. In each of their eyes, MC was perfect. Lucifer loved how they cared for his brothers and himself. Mammon loved their wild side, how it was tempered by a practical side. Levi loved that they listened and would ask questions about his gaming and anime. Satan loved their ability to see the good in anyone, how they were so gentle with the animals, and how they loved to read.
Asmo loved them for their beauty, their generosity and how outspoken they were. He secretly tried to act like MC when he encountered something that made him feel less, he never knew they suffered from the same self doubts!
Beel loved their appetite, their laughter and how at peace he felt around them. And Belphie, he loved their body. He thought their body was perfect as it was. He loved to hold them and hear their breath, feel their body move as they slept beside him. He loved how forgiving they were and how they obviously loved him and his brothers.
The seven stared at the bags on the table.
“Right, well we can’t let them continue to believe that crap!” Asmo glared at the yogurt. “We need to convince MC that there is nothing wrong with them, they are beautiful!”
MC huffed in frustrated amusement. They’d tried to cut back on what they ate and, once again found themselves being thwarted by the brothers. MC would have thought it was deliberate, but no…surely not? Beel himself said he was training for an upcoming game, and had invited them to do some altered training with him, to keep him company. Unfortunately, although the exercise was welcome, Beel and the others insisted that MC follow the same diet. Satan assured MC that he’d adjusted the amounts for a human, but it still seemed like lots. And the affection? Where was that coming from? Suddenly none of the brothers could leave a room, go to bed, move between classes without needing a hug, a kiss or just for MC to sit in their lap. What had gotten into them?
And now the dance was just two weeks away! What were they going to do? There was no way they’d find anything to compete with how sexy and beautiful most of the students were, never mind how Good the brothers would look in their tailored outfits! MC sighed in despair and gasped as Barbatos suddenly appeared around the corner of the RAD hall.
“Ah MC. I was looking for you. The Young Master has requested your presence.” He held his arm out and MC took it knowing he’d just stand there, in the same pose, otherwise.
As they entered the student council room, MC was amazed at the fabrics draped all over. A tall thin demon stood next to Diavolo, a bolt of gorgeous silk in his hands. He turned as they entered and MC was surprised to see his eyes light up, and a delighted smile appear on his face. “Ah, My Lord! Is this the one you asked me to meet? This delightful vision? Their soul, it shines beyond any I have seen before! This surely cannot be a human? No it is one of the angelic race yes?” He fluttered towards MC, his words fast as he circled them, his hands lifting their hair, then turning their face to catch the light. “Surely I will be awarded the highest honour to creat an outfit for this divine creature! I accept, you must allow it!”
Diavolo chuckled and bent to kiss MC. “That is okay with you, isn’t it MC? You will allow Mr. Machiatelli the honour of creating your costume for the dance?” MC stared at them all stunned. Their voice squeaked. “Mr. Machiatelli? The famous Devildom designer? Asmo loves his work and shows me all the new pieces he designs. Why would?”
The designer clapped his hands, interrupting MC. “It is settled then! I will create a masterpiece to showcase this divinity! My work will shine more than the heavens with this beautiful creature as my canvas! My Lord I cannot thank you enough for this opportunity!” Tears in his eyes, Mr. Machiatelli kissed Lord Diavolo’s fingers, kissed MC’s fingers and then abruptly kicked everyone but his two attendants out of the room as they spun MC this way and that. The attendants taking notes snapped at them from the designer. Fabrics were picked and discarded, sketches were made and tossed aside. Then one of the attendants gasped. “Master! The Queen Maud silks!” The designer froze, then cried. “Of course! Of course, they are the only fabric suitable! Give me the pad!” He sketched intensely, skipping from side to side, glaring at MC, mumbling under his breath before suddenly stopping. He stared at what he sketched. His attendants looked over his shoulders and gasped. One of them ran to the door and called for Lord Diavolo who suddenly appeared. Mr.Machiatelli handed over his sketch pad reverently, sweat beading his brow. Diavolo looked at the sketch then at MC. His face broke into a huge smile! “Yes! You will make this for them! I demand it. This will be their design, no one else shall wear this.” Mr. Machiatelli clapped his hands in delight. “It shall be as you say my Lord! This will be my crowning jewel, the ultimate creation of my life’s work! I shall name it after this delightful muse you have brought into my life! The works I will create for you!” He turned as he said this and bowed so deep MC thought he’d fall over! They blushed, but couldn’t get a word in, as Diavolo started telling the designer what else he expected of him, when they needed the outfit, and that he could have exclusive use of rooms Barbatos had set up for the designer specifically. MC was escorted home, their mind spinning.
The day of the dance and MC found themselves in a flurry of activity. Asmo had inserted himself into the design of their outfit so he could coordinate their makeup, nails and jewelry. The jewelry, that MC found out, had been bought by Lucifer. Because as Asmo said, “nobody has an eye for jewelry that is better than Lucifer!” MC was too afraid to ask how much it had cost after seeing the gems set in platinum. Asmo spent 3 hours on MC. Between the bath, the massage with scented lotions, the application of nail polish, styling their hair and their makeup, MC was terrified to look in a mirror! Luckily Asmo wouldn’t let them. Instead he opened his closet door, where Barbatos stood at the threshold. MC blinked, before realizing that Barbatos had built a portal and instead of being in Asmo’s closet he was actually in a room at the castle. MC could see Mr. Machiatelli barking orders at his attendants in the background.
As Asmo led them forward, Mr.Machiatelli turned and gasped. “Ah! My divine creature! You are more magnificent than the last time I saw you!” He rushed forward to kiss MC, but Asmo intercepted him with a chiding, “Ah! No,no! You’ll ruin all the hard work I put in!” Asmo pushed the designer back so MC could enter the room properly.
Mr.Machiatelli scowled briefly at Asmo then turned towards a shrouded mannequin. “Your costume awaits, my delightful muse!” His eyes sparkled, his movements became even more elaborate. As Diavolo, Barbatos and Asmo gathered around you, he pulled the shroud off and revealed the outfit.
Everyone was stunned silent. Then Asmo squealed in delight. “Oh! Oh! It’s the Queen Maud silks! You used the silks! The Machiatelli’s (the name for Mr. Machiatelli’s followers ) have been dying to know when you would use them! And you picked MC!💕💕” Asmo broke out his phone and started snapping photos. “To be at the momentous moment in time! We have to document this! I’ll be the envy of everyone!” Barbatos picked the phone from Asmo’s grasp as Diavolo spoke up. “I understand your desire Asmo, but you must promise to wait until MC is presented at the dance before revealing photos taken here? You don’t want to ruin MC’s moment do you?” He tilted his head in question and stared at Asmo, who paled in response. “Oh. Oh MC!” He grabbed MC around the waist, careful not to ruin the work he’d spent hours on. “I’m so sorry! I forgot why we were here! You’ll forgive me? Please?”
MC patted his back, “of course Asmo. I knew you didn’t mean anything bad. You were just excited.” MC smiled and kissed his cheek making Mr. Machiatelli sigh in envy.
“Enough, enough! We must dress our majestic divinity as they deserve to be dressed!” With that the attendants grabbed MC and took them to a corner of the room which had curtains set up. Mr. Machiatelli picked the outfit up reverently and followed them.
Diavolo, Barbatos and Asmo stood waiting, both Asmo and Diavolo fidgeting, while Barbatos stood at attention not moving a muscle.
When the murmurs and MC’s gasps stopped, Mr.Machiatelli stepped through the curtain. His smile was blinding as he bowed to those waiting. “And now, what you are all waiting for!” He swept the curtains aside and revealed..
Asmo started crying. Diavolo turned red and Barbatos started hiccuping from swallowing wrong. MC stared, and then wailed. “I knew it! I look ridiculous don’t I! I don’t have the right body to look good in this! It’s all wrong!” Mr. Machiatelli and his attendants froze in horrified shock.
Just as MC started to frantically try to take the outfit off, Asmo grabbed their hands. “No! MC! That isn’t it. I can’t describe the feelings I have seeing you like this. I. I think I’m both jealous at how fabulous you look and so proud that you are the one I love probably more than I love myself! I was overwhelmed! I’m overwhelmed! MC, you outshine the heavens in this outfit. I mean that.”
MC stared at Asmo. He was being serious, MC could tell. He wasn’t using flowery praise, or making outrageous gestures. He meant what he was saying. Asmo thought they, MC, looked as beautiful as he was saying. MC blinked back tears, not sure what to say. Diavolo stepped up and took a hand. “What Asmo says, goes for me too MC. You took my breath away. I have always admired, and yes desired, you. Seeing you in this outfit made me feel that if I declared you as my partner right now, nobody would have a word to say. They would all bow before you and declare you co-regent with no one disagreeing.” His smile broke through his serious speech and he cast a decidedly lecherous gaze over MC. “I find it a pity that I have to share this vision with those here, if I could lock you away in my room and not reveal you to the others at the dance, I would!” MC blushed at the intense gaze he continued to cast over them, his hand tightening slightly as if he was going to snatch them away as he’d said.
Barbatos cleared his throat, which caused Diavolo to snap out of his trance. He bowed and cast a teasing smile at MC. “Ah, my apologies. I forgot myself for a moment.” He winked and stepped back. Barbatos frowned at him then sighed. “Please remembered where you are My Lord.” He turned to MC. “MC, I always knew you were beautiful, that your soul was a rare gem. However seeing you like this has made me realize that you are beyond beautiful. I have no words to express how lovely and desirable you are at this moment.” He bowed over MC’s hand and kissed it lightly, his thumb caressing their wrist causing a frisson of awareness to run up MC’s arm. They stared, stunned at Barbatos as he stepped back, the usual bland look on his face. MC suddenly realized that Barbatos didn’t just accept them and tolerate them…he Liked them! MC blushed in confusion and looked at the ground. A knock on the door made them all start.
Lucifer entered and stared at the occupants. His eyes lingered on MC, and a proud smile flitted across his lips. “I’ve come to see what is taking so long. Guests are starting to arrive.” Barbatos straightened his jacket and gestured to Diavolo. “My Lord?” Diavolo sighed and nodded. “We shall go first and see you all downstairs. Mr.Machiatelli, you have outdone yourself! Please be a guest for tonight and enjoy the refreshments and entertainment!” He strolled out the door, Barbatos on his heels.
Mr.Machiatelli and his attendants gasped at the offer and quickly exited to their rooms to get ready. Asmo smiled at Lucifer and winked at MC. “Shall I leave so you can admire our MC?” He giggled and skipped out, calling over his shoulders. “Don’t be too long or the others will coming hunting!” His,laughter floated down the hall as he disappeared.
Mc, still blushing, couldn’t look at Lucifer. They waited, not sure what for.
The rustle of cloth, and his shoes appeared in their sight line, polished and black, shining in the candle light. MC felt a soft touch on their hair and saw his hand playing with a strand of hair. His hand slipped under their chin and he coaxed them to lift their head. His eyes were soft, he only showed this softness to MC. He stroked a finger over their cheek, until they fully met his watchful gaze. “MC. Believe me when I say, I have never seen anyone. Whether Angel, Demon or Human who makes me feel as you do. No matter how you dress, how you act. You will always be the one star in the heavens that I will always seek out, wherever I am.” His lips caressed theirs lightly, not disturbing the makeup Asmo had applied. He stood back, and held his arm out. “Will you allow me to escort you?” MC nodded, unable to speak. Their heart was beating so hard they couldn’t speak. Had Lucifer ever expressed himself like this before? As they neared the ballroom, the brothers appeared and surrounded them. MC could see the approval, and admiration in each of their eyes. Felt the tension as they became the centre of a gasping crowd of demons.
As the brothers growled and shoved demons aside, Lucifer calmly walked with MC on his arm, an overwhelming aura of pride surrounding them and MC believed. It wasn’t their imagination, the were loved more than they had realized. MC smiled. Their eyes shining in happiness and a burst of bright laughter bubbled from their lips as they turned their eyes, shining with love to Lucifer. “Thank you” the laughed and clutched his arm ready to enjoy the night fully.
Unbeknownst to MC, dozens of demons fell under their spell that night and a new fan club came into existence at RAD over night. The brothers spent a lot of their time making sure MC never found out so they didn’t have to share.
