We Should Talk
You woke up the next morning with a pounding in your head if you didn't know better you would think you drank too much demonus last night. But that just wasn't your luck. What had actually happened was so much worse. You tried to rub the sleep from your eyes but your arm was pinned beneath a massive weight. It was then you remembered you slept in Beel and Belphies room last night. "Crap" you mumbled trying to move the much larger demon with out waking him up, this in itself was proving to be more difficult then you wanted this early in the morning. You finally managed to free yourself grabbing one of Beels larger hoodies from his closet, you guessed it was time to adress the elephant in the room. You knew Lucifer would be expecting you, you really wished you had anything else to do but the longer you waited the more anxious you'd get and the snippier Lucifer would be. That was not something you wanted to deal with so you resigned to your fate and started the long walk to his office.
So what if you were taking your time walking, who would know if you took the longest route possible. Lucifer didn't know you were awake yet. You wanted a little bit longer before Lucifer told you that you couldn't stay here any longer. You logically understood why he would send you home, didn't mean that you were happy about it. The brothers became everything to you, you'd be able to summon them 'well if they still wanted to see you' but it wouldn't be the same. So maybe you made sure to stop by the planetarium, the library even made sure to check out the god awful portraits on the wall. Wanting to remember every last bit knowing you'd most likely be gone by lunch. You tried to take calming breath in an effort to stave off the panic you could feel building up in your stomach. Your heart was beating faster then you even thought possible, especially as Lucifer's door came into view. You couldn't help but feel the tears building in your eyes slowly falling down your face. You quickly wiped them away and stepped up to his door. Before you even got a chance to knock "Come in y/n" you rolled your eyes fondly. Of course he knew you were here he was just that good.
You walked into his office barely able to look him in the eye. You could hear papers shuffling and his quill dipping into an ink pot. All signs that he'd either gotten up early to finish work you had clearly interrupted last night or he didn't go to bed last night. Neither option was not favorable for his mood, if you had bothered looking up you would have seen the fond smile that made itself at home on his face, or the soft kindness in his eyes. "Well Good Morning y/n I was not expecting you to be up this early, do you not usually sleep in Saturday mornings? I do hope you are feeling better then you were last night?" You didn't look up from the floor eyes fixated on some swirling pattern on his rug. You were sure he was able to see hoe embarrassed you were, you were afraid to look up and see how disgusted he was with you. You didn't think you would be able to handle that on top of being asked to leave. "I am... feeling a bit better thank you" you paused as you fumbled with your hands trying to gain any amount of confidence "About yesterday..." Lucifer was about to cut you off but you raised your hand to stop him "Please let me talk" you pleaded finally managing to look up at him tears slowly rolling down your cheeks "I never had any intention of telling any of you this is my problem and I never wanted to burden any of you" you quickly wiped away tears with the back of Beels sweatshirt. "Y/n?" Lucifer tried to interject "I really am sorry... I know it could not have been a comfortable situation for any of you and I really will be forever grateful that I got to spend this time with you. It was Lucifer's turn to be confused why did it sound like you were leaving them. "I know how dangerous it is to have me here, and how important this exchange program is to Lord Diavolo so I really do understand and there are no other options" you tried to hold back the tears but they were only falling faster and faster panic completely gripping you at this point.
Lucifer could not allow this to continue he had hoped you would realize this on your own but again, that was a miscalculation on his part. He was full of those especially when it came to you. He crossed his office quickly and cupped your face between both of his hands "Now now, no more of this. I will not hear another word of this clearly well though out speech." desperately trying to keep the sarcasm from his voice. "Last night was the happiest I have seen you during your entire stay with us. You were calm, care free and everything in between" He smiled softly wiping at your tears with the pads of his thumbs not caring how wet his gloves got. "Me and Satan did an impressive amount of research last night and I am confident we can make this work" You blinked your eyes looking at him in shock "We may not completely understand but I think we have a good grasp on it. And with your help I'm sure we could learn even more." You looked at him in complete shock not sure you were hearing him correctly. "I speak for all six of my brothers when I extend this offer to you... We would be honored if you allowed us the priviledge of becoming your caretakers for the duration of your stay in the Devildom... How ever long that is" You were now crying for a whole different reason. Happiness... such a forgein feeling.
Lucifer moved a couple stack of papers to the side and leaned against his desk "I have no doubt that this will not be easy. I am confident the road will be bumpy but I think that we would all manage okay. Who knows" he chuckled "Maybe it would teach those no good brothers of mine some responsibilities" You couldn't help but laugh. That would be the day you couldn't help saying to yourself in your head. "I know I am asking you to put a lot of trust in us and you by no means have to make a decision now. But please consider it, and we will need to speak to Lord Diavolo no matter what you choose" Your smile fell at the mention of the future demon king "Do not worry now. Take this weekend and spend time with my brothers see if this is something you want. Let me know before classes on Monday" You looked up at him mind reeling from everything he has said to you in the last ten minutes. You didnt expect this from him all all people well of all demons. "I don't deserve such kindness, I am doing nothing but putting you all out, putting myself in danger I could mess up the whole exc..." Lucifer put his finer to your lips stopping you from continuing "I said what I meant, and I meant what I said. AS I said no decisions now please feel free to be yourself and enjoy this then tell me how you would like to proceed" You nodded "The tears aren't necessary you have become quite important to my brothers and that includes me as well. I do no just make pacts on a whim" you tried to smile at him "We only want you to be happy during your time with us" You tried to ignore that last part, you would cross that bridge when you got to it.
"Luci..." the nickname falling from your mouth before you could even stop yourself. You knew how much he hated it but you couldn't bring yourself to care. Your heart was about to burst out of your chest from happiness "I would like nothing more than for you guys to become my caretakers.. It would mean everything to me. It's more then I could ask from any of you but I cant make myself turn down your offer" you wrapped your arms around his torso hugging him tightly "I know I can be kind of bratty sometimes, I know I can be a lot to happen. But I promise I'll always listen and do my best not to get in trouble. I don't regress much younger then four.. So I'm not super needy in that regard" You continued to ramble for about fifteen minutes on anything you deemed important you had never had caretakers before let alone seven. So you weren't sure what they needed to know Lucifer eventually cut you off "No need to worry Little one, we will learn together. Asmo could not wait to go out shopping, I think that's where he is now actually" You felt your cheeks heat up as Lucifer talked "I know you've been stressed and dealing ohh what does Levi call them?" he paused to think "Bad brain days.. yes that's it. If this is what helps please do not hesitate" he assured cupping the side of your face. You nodded happily "You think you could talk to Lord Diavolo for me?" he only laughed "I can have a conversation with him and maybe you can show him later. Possibly Sunday? Im sure Barbatos could prepare tea" you frowned you didn't see why you had to involve him in this it barely effected him. He was the future demon king this was small potatoes compared to what he had to deal with. But Barbie... no no Barbatos, tea, and that all meant sweets so many yummy sweets. Maybe those two would be okay.. you could get sweets out of it, sweets Lucifer won't let you keep in the house. This could prove a worth while arrangement for you.
"I see mischief written all over your face, whatever your thinking no" you laughed at him a real laugh with a smile that reached your eyes. "Take this weekend, feel free to regress as you'd like and become comfortable. I will speak with Lord Diavolo and let you know what we decide" he said that very matter of factly leaving no room for arguments. You agreed knowing trying to argue you him at this point was useless and was definitely not worth the consequences. "Yes Lucifer, I understand but can we keep it from Purgatory hall? Just for a little bit?" Lucifer looked at you confused you were rather close to Simeon and Solomon but he figure you needed some control in this situation and he was happy to give that to you. "I am able to make that accommodation but I will advise you talk to them as soon as you are ready. I know hoe close you are with Simeon and that infernal wizard Solomon" you knew he was right but you couldn't make yourself care. "I will not keep you any longer, It is very early and seeing as Beel didn't bring you here as he promised he must still be asleep" you nodded "Thank you Luci" you kissed his cheek gently before turning tail and heading back to Beels room. You just missed the way the tips of his ears turned red and the way his cheeks flushed. If you had seen it surely you would hold it over his head.
You burried your face in Beels hoodie willing yourself to stay big just till you made it back to his room. You didn't want to get lost, plus you really could use the sleep. Luckily you made it back quickly and with out any major incidents. Yopu saw Belphie made his way over to his own bed probably sick of being suffocated by a giant. You climbed in next to Beel and burried your face in his chest. His warmth quickly lulling you back to sleep. You didn't think on anything Lucifer had said any further that was Future y/n problem. Present y/n had a very warm and snuggly demon next to her and she was going to take full advantage.
Lucifer was sitting in his office trying to wrangle in a very excited Lord Diavolo who was yelling at his Butler to get ready for the best Tea Party in the History of the Devildom. Lucifer shook his head feeling the inevitable headache forming behind his eyes. It took everything to convince Lord Diavolo not to come rushing over right this second. It was as if he was the child and not you. This was going to be disastrous the two of you together surely would cause trouble for him. How did he get himself into to situations like this? How? He found himself suddenly grateful Barbatos was there with him to help talk some sense into him, convincing him to wait till Sunday.
