Nightmare Comfort Part 1
Y/N jolted upright, holding their chest as it felt as if their heart would run away. They tried to calm their breathing and their thoughts, unable to shake the horrors their subconscious cruelly subjected them to. They took some deep breaths and manage to calm themself enough to look at the time. They squinted as their D.D.D lights up and the numbers display on the screen. It was late. They wondered if it may be too late to ask for comfort from someone. Taking another deep breath both to sooth their shaky hands and for some courage, they opened their contacts to make a phone call.
~~~~Lucifer~~~~
Y/N tapped on Lucifer’s Name and called him, shakily bringing the phone to their ear. It rings for only a few moments before Lucifer picked up but in those moments it felt like it was taking ages for him to answer.
“Y/N what are you doing up so late?” the raven haired demon sighed out, clearly a bit disappointed that the human he was in charge of appeared to be refusing to sleep.
They smiled a bit in relief, happy that he actually picked up. Though they guessed as much seeing as he normally was up in the late hours of the night in his study, completing paperwork and such.
“Hello? Have you called me by accident..?” he muttered almost to himself, bringing them back out of their head.
“Sorry..” Y/N sighed, their lip quivering a bit as they remembered the dream they endured, “I um.. this is really embarrassing but I had a nightmare and I dont want to be alone...” their voice was soft and trembling as they spoke, trailing of into nothing.
Lucifer paused for a moment before speaking once again, “I see. I have a lot more work to do but if you’d like you may come sit with me,” his voice no longer had any trace of disappointment but instead it was replaced by a hint of concern and pity.
“I’d like that..” they smiled and stood up carefully.
“I’ll leave the door unlocked, we’ll speak again when you get here,” he hangs up, leaving Y/N to eagerly make their way to his side.
~~~~Mammon~~~~
Y/N didn’t hesitate to tap Mammon’s number and press call. Sure he was very very scummy kind of scummy, but this was something even he couldn’t screw up, and considering his not so secret, very fucking obvious top secret fondness for them he would likely be more than happy to provide the comfort they were searching for.
"Its a little late to be asking me to give your money back don'tcha think?" he spoke, sleep still infecting his voice. He clearly was still half asleep by the sound of his voice, not to mention he also had misread the contact name
"Mammon..." they sighed, laughing a little.
"Y/N??? Did they take you as collateral??" he was fully awake and panicked now, “shit. I read the name wrong nevermind.. hold up, why're ya calling me so late?" he sounded a little suspicious.
"Oh.. well," they paused, broken from the momentary distraction that was Mammon's little mistake, "I was hoping you could hang out with me until I go back to sleep.." their voice was quiet and slow.
"Eh? Why would I do that? Did you have a bad dream?" he mocked playfully and sounded like he was smirking
They stood corrected, he definitely could screw this up, "I did actually... nevermind, just forget I asked," Y/N's voice cracked and tears began to form in the corners of their eyes. They clicked the red hang up button faster than Mammon could respond.
They turned over in their bed, wrapping their blankets around them and sniffling. A frown creeping its way onto their lips and a lump forming in their throat. They jumped at the sound of someone's footsteps rapidly approaching, quickly followed by a frantic knocking.
"Y/N! Why'd you have to go and hang up. I was only joking!" Mammon attempts to pardon himself, only receiving silence in return.
The human in question had rolled over and was staring at the door, no, glaring at the demon just beyond it.
"shit.." he huffed out, "fine. I'm sorry, I didn't know."
They sighed in defeat, not in the mood to be as petty as they’d like to be, "fine, come in."
The door nearly slammed open as Mammon eagerly enter the room. He shut the door before speaking up again with a cocky smile plastered on his features.
"The great Mammon will have you cozy and back to sleep in no time"
~~~~Leviathan~~~~
Y/N stared at Levi's contact for a while debating on whether they should call him or not. He might be busy with his Otaku things like calling Ruri-Chan or something in that same vein that'd only be available for a limited amount of time. Yet again he could just be watching anime or playing a game that he could easily pause and pick back up later. They took a deep breath and called him anyway despite their initial apprehension. It rings a few times before he picked up but Y/N let out a sigh of relief as he did.
"Y/N," he whined out their name obnoxiously, I say this lovingly of course- they didn't mind of course, they were just glad he picked up, "I was totally just getting to the best part of the show,"
"Sorry.." they sighed, a sheepish smile forming before swiftly being stolen by the realization they have to explain why they even called.
"Wait.. You're not usually up this late," his voice softened with concern
"Yeah. That's actually why I called you. I had a nightmare and I was hoping we could hang out until I fall back asleep.." they explained, fiddling with the covers with their free hand.
"WHAAAAAA-" there was a crash that sounded like Levi had just fallen out of his chair, "woah you have to be playing some prank on me! There's no way you'd call a loser like me for something like that.." his loud tone gradually lost its momentum as he continued speaking.
"Levi," they pinched the bridge of their nose and let out an exasperated sigh, "can I come to your room or not?"
"You're totally serious?!" he sounded a bit excited, "this is just like one of those romance manga I read," he began going of a cute rant about the manga.
Y/N smiled a little as they listen intently the whole way to his room, the rant of course continuing past the walk when they arrived at their destination.
~~~~Satan~~~~
Y/N hovered their finger over Satan's contact momentarily before calling him. They were a bit unsure of whether he'd be the right person to call but decided that it would be fine. They waited impatiently, rocking their body back an forth gently.
"Hello?" Satan answered the phone, his externally calm demeanor reassuring them it was safe.
"Hey Satan.. Sorry about calling so late," they sighed out apologetically.
"I'm sure you had a good reason, so its fine,” he paused for moment and there was a shuffling sound, "now what is it you need? Is some ignoramus bothering you?"
"Well I guess you could say that,” Y/N laughs, "I mean isn't a nightmare just your own brain bothering you?"
"A nightmare? You had a bad dream? I heard that humans tend to seek comfort after such occurrences but I never thought You'd come to me for comfort," he chuckled a little, amused and flattered you'd call him over his bothers.
"So.. can I come to your room to hang out until I fall asleep?"
"Ah.. no, I'll come to you," he hangs up, leaving them alone again for the time being.
He was so smart but emotionally? He had a bit of trouble being aware of how his actions made others feel. Of course Y/N knew he was coming and it wouldn't be long but they really were hoping he'd stay on the call until he got to their room. They sighed and walked over to their door, opening it and waiting eagerly. Satan finally arrived and they hugged him tightly and unexpectedly, dragging him into the room. They released him briefly only to shut the door.
"So why did you want to come to my room, I could've walked?" they stared at him curiously, but already had a bit of an idea.
"I thought it would anger Lucifer more if I came here," his smile turned to a sly smirk,
"Of course that's why," Y/N sighs, letting out a little giggle.
"Of course I'm mostly here to cheer you up but I can hit two birds with one stone this way."
~~~~Asmodeus~~~~
Y/N tapped Asmo's number as soon as they opened their contacts, hoping he'd be understanding enough to forgive them for ruining his beauty sleep tonight. They listened patiently for an answer.
"Y/N," Asmo whined at them, "why're you calling so late I can't have bags under my eyes! My beauty is on the line here.." he pulled out the dramatics with ease.
They smiled a little, "yeah sorry about that... Uhm.." their smile faded a little "I was actually hoping you'd keep me company tonight becau-"
"Oh?~" Asmo's voice became low and seductive as he interrupted Y/N.
"Asmo not like that!" they felt their cheeks heating up, "I was gonna say because I had a nightmare. I just want to hang out until i fall back asleep," they huffed, pinching the bridge of their nose.
"Ah! you're so cute, Y/N. Of course you can come to my room," he sounded excited.
"are you sure? I'm not bothering you right?"
"Of course not now hurry and get over here so I can kiss your face all over~"
They just knew he was winking at his phone in that moment before hanging up. They already felt better after that call. Y/N grabbed their phone and put their slippers or socks idk you do you me too boo and hurriedoff to the beautiful demon's lair
~~~~Beelzebub~~~~
Y/N called Beel up, knowing he'd likely be up raiding the fridge. They hummed in satisfaction as they could hear his ringtone from the kitchen just as they expected. They also heard him smack into something in his hurry to answer the phone.
"Hey," he spoke, muffled due to the food he hadn't managed to swallow yet.
"Hey Beel," Y/N spoke softly "I know its really late but do you think we can hang out until I go back to sleep?"
"Mhm," he agreed without hesitation or question.
"That went smoother than expected.." they mumbled to themself, momentarily forgetting about being on the phone.
"Huh?"
"Nothing. I'll meet you in the kitchen," they hung up and headed to the kitchen quickly.
When they got there Beel was still shoveling food into his mouth. He stops for a second to turn to them with a grin. He looked so excited to eat the entire food supply in the house for the fifth time this week I SAY WITH LOVE. They sat on the counter patiently waiting for him to be done.
"Lucifer is gonna be mad you know," they stated playfully
"I was hungry.." he said bluntly, "besides he'd be mad that you're up so late."
"Yeah, but I can't help it this time! I had a really bad nightmare.." they whispered sheepishly.
"So that's why you wanted to hang out," he stood upright, finally having ate everything in the fridge.
The silence sat for a bit too long as Y/N fiddled with the hem of their shirt as Beel turned and pulled them in and off the counter for a hug, careful enough not to break them but it was still a tight hug. Their feet never touched the ground as he lifted them up.
"Let's go back to sleep now," the tall ginger said happily, satisfied with carrying them away like a child hugging their teddy bear.
~~~~Belphegor~~~~
Y/N hesitated to call Belph, considering he could get a bit grumpy when he got woken up earlier than he had to. They sighed and shrugged off their worries and called him up. They waited as the phone rings for a long few seconds, their patience quickly running low.
"Y/N.. What do you need?" a gravelly, and tired voice yawned out.
"Well I-" they began but were swiftly cut off by Belph
"You had a bad dream didn't you?" he guessed with painful accuracy.
They grew silent, embarrassed by how easily he guessed that, "...yeah," they sighed in defeat.
"I knew it!" he chuckled smugly "I have those sometimes too," he sighed.
"Sorry.. can we hang out until we fall back to sleep?"
"Hmm.. fine but I'm not coming to you, you have to come here."
"Okay, up in the attic?" there was a soft snoring coming from Belphie's end, "Belph??"
"Ah.. I fell asleep. Come up to the attic."
Y/N sighed, a small smile decorating their features as they got ready and headed up to Belph's room. When they arrived they found him already passed out again.
