Tattletale
Beel was the first one to step forward his other two brothers at a loss for words as they watched you fall apart in front of them. None of the could stomach seeing you like this it only made them feel guilty for allowing it to go on as long as they did. Beel knelt down in front of you and wiped the tears away with the pad of his thumb. He cupped you cheek gently "Oh Princess" he said in a sweet voice. "What's wrong?" Satan and Asmo took this as their cue to kneel on either side of Beel offering you soft smiles. You couldn't help but nuzzle into his hand it was unnaturally warm, and it made you feel safe cared for even. Not what you would have expected a demon avatars hand to feel like. Eventually your sobs quieted into small sniffles and you were able to look up into their eyes. You took a second to look and you noticed their eyes, three distinctly different but beautiful eyes not one trace of disgust or anger could be found, only concern fear and.... regret? That was a new one. Once you calmed down Beel smiled at you "That's a good girl" You couldn't help the way your cheeks tinted pink. "Bear Bear..." you hesitated as you rubbed your eyes a bit to harshly "I sorry, I promise I can be big give me a few minutes please" you all but begged from behind your pacifier hoping that he would understand. You moved to remove it from your mouth and he put his hand over yours stopping you "Hush princess it's okay"
Satan knelt to Beels right quietly taking in the scene in front of him and everything started to make sense. Before you had come to stay with them Lord Diavolo had tasked him with reading several books on human world medicine and psychology. That alone sent him down several rabbit holes where he learned far more then he probably needed to but in this instance he was grateful. He completely understood what was going on and from what you had told him about growing up he was ashamed of himself that he had not figured it out sooner. If he had maybe this wouldn't be happening right now, and that smile he was so used to seeing on your face would be more then a distant memory to him.
Beel offered you a soft smile as he heard your self proclaimed nickname for him, it was the cutest thing he had ever heard if he was being honest with himself. "I'm not sure I understand Princess? Can you explain it to me?" You sat in front of him all but helpless, you were trying to force yourself out of your little headspace but you couldn't do it. Your brain was not doing what you asked only causing you to fall more and more into your little headspace which was the opposite of what you were trying to do. You banged your hands on the floor repeatedly to try and express your frustration only to be stopped by Satan and Asmo putting gentle hands on top of yours. "Use your words for me Princess the best you can. Were pretty smart i'm sure we can figure it out" Beel assured gently.
You leaned back against the wall trying to catch your breath " I so sorry... I just not very big. Please no tell you has to promise me you no tell I no want to leave you" Asmo frowned seeing you struggling. He looked over at Satan hoping he was understanding what was going on. "You have any idea what she's talking about" he asked quietly "I think she is the most adorable thing in the world even more so like this but I don't really understand what this is" Satan only sighed luckily he had the answers "It's called regression, through research I have found that some humans that experienced Trauma early on in there life will sometimes regress as they enter adult hood as a way to deal with anxiety, stress and the lasting effects of whatever the trauma is." He explained as simply as he could "We all know y/n suffers with her fair share issues. Lucifer doesnt just go to the human world each month for no reason. So this is not to far of a stretch especially knowing what she went through"
Beel frowned looking back at you "Princess why didn't you tell one of us. You had to have known we would help you the best we could." You shook your head furiously "No!... No.. No.. No! Broken. I am broken!" You buried your face in your knees unable to look at them anymore. "Lucifer send me back. I a bad change student, I ruin the big change program!" Beel frowned and sent Asmo off to get there oldest brother he would be the only one to quell the doubts swirling around in your head. Beel pulled you into his lap and started to play with your hair gently "You have to know that he would never send you away" You didn't respond as you fussed in his lap trying to get comfortable. "Why don't you color me and Satan a picture? If this cat is any indication you are a great artist." He said handing you your discarded coloring book. You took it from him and smiled "Bear Bear and Sat.. Sa... Sata" you fumbled with Satans name it not quite feeling right on your tongue "Daddy!" you proclaimed happy you were able to figure it out "Bear Bear and Daddy" you smiled pointing at the two of them before looking down at your coloring book to create your masterpiece. Only the best for Daddy and Bear Bear. Satan couldnt help but blush when you proclaimed that so confidently his heart nearly grew three times its size.

Asmo barged into Lucifer's office the time for decorum and niceties had long since passed. "Asmodeous you know better then to just barge into my office especially when I am knee deep in work" Lucifer grumbled not even bothering to look up from his papers completely missing the distraught look on his brothers face. "I dont have time for your entitled attitude tonight Lucifer! It's about y/n!" That caught his attention when he looked up he grew even more concerned as he took in the panic on his younger brother face "What on earth did you do to them? They were fine at dinner!" he accused failing to keep his own emotions in check. Lucifer stood up and walked across the room glaring accusingly at Asmo. "Usually I would take offense to that but I don't have time to lecture you. Satan said it is called regression?" he shrugged still not understanding completely. He was able to relay everything Satan had told them back in your bedroom with surprising accuracy. Lucifer was internally cursing himself he should have dealt with this sooner. He was fully aware, he personally oversaw you months before they brought you down to the devildom. You seemed fine, adjusting well and coping better hen he'd seen you in the human world. He hadn't seen any new scars, he grossly miscalculated and he hoped that you forgave him. He would remedy this right now to make it up to you.
You were happily sitting on Beel's lap pacifier back in your mouth scribbling on the papers in front of you. You could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. After a few minutes you felt him, the one person you didn't want to see. They were your friends how could they do this to you? Did they want you to go away? Were they sick and tired of you too? As Lucifer appeared in your door way you scrambled from your place in Beels lap "YOU TOLD HIM! YOU WANT HIM TO SEND ME AWAY DON'T YOU!" you cried once you returned to your spot against the far wall of your room. You tried to fight through the panic, you willed your heart to slow down, prayed the fog would lift from your mind. A few minutes passed and you collected yourself "Lucifer" you said slowly why did his name have to be so hard "I fine I promise" you hoped he believed you. You looked down seeing yor pacifier on the floor you scrammbled to get it and hid it behind your back. "I okay I promise I the best change student ever" you said as you tried tyo regain any semblance of composure. Beel and Satan frowned as they watched the distance between you grow. "Princess we had too" Beel tried to reason with you "Daddy hates Lucifer! Why you tell him! Tattletale!" you screamed as you watched your whole world fall apart in from of you. Satan couldn't take seeing you this way "Honey he is the oldest and in charge of you technically I had no choice" He explained trying to hide the disdain in his voice.
Lucifers heart broke as he watch the scene in front of him. The fear, fear of him! Uncertainty and shame that clouded your normally bright e/c eyes. He could take it no longer He walked up to you slowly before sitting down in front of you "Little one... you've nothing to fear" he said quietly "I knew before you even came to stay with us. Me and Lord Diavolo observed you for several weeks so we knew exactly how to take care of you while you were staying with us" You looked up at him surprised to hear him sounding so kind "I had hoped you would come to me before it got this bad. But here we are" he smiled moving to caress the side of your cheek the leather feeling cool against your skin. "You not mad?" you asked him wiping your tears away. Lucifer chuckled "I could never be mad at you little one." You looked almost hopeful "I stay? I stay here with you, Bear Bear, Daddy and Abba?" Abba being a butchered version of Asmos name. But if you asked him it was just about the cutest thing he ever heard. "I would never make you leave if you didn't want too. Especially not for something as trivial as this" You could feel the tension leave your body as he spoke "I think I speak for each of my brother when I say this. WE would be honored if you would allow us the privledge of helping you with this." You looked between all four brother not sure of what to say you were so overwhelmed.
For the first time you felt safe.
