Are they Dinosaur Shaped?
The later it got the hungrier you got, and the hungrier you got the crankier you became and that was not good for anyone involved. "I hungry is it dinner time yet?" you asked as you held your stomach tightly. Beel offered you a sweet smile "I think it's Mammons turn to cook dinner so your guess is as good as mine if it's done" You pouted at him you knew Mammon took forever to get dinner done, you reached over and tugged on his sleeve "Let's go now peas, my tummy hurts so bad" Beel laughed as he scooped you up into his arms and headed for the dining room " You're starting to sound like me princess, you should really be more paitent this is not like you" You frowned as he set you on the ground and made your way to your chair. You did your best to climb up so you could see the table. "Theres no food!? Baba you're taking forever!!!" you stomped your feet on the chair out of frustration.
You had not really eaten today, yea you had your pancakes for breakfast, well brunch would be more accurate description because of how late you ended up sleeping. You had tons of snacks and ice cream but that didn't count, Beel was so confused seeing you get worked up over this it wasnt like you at all. Usually you were the only one that didn't give Mammon a hard time when he was making dinner considering how long it always took him. He walked over to you and put his hand on your shoulder trying to soothe you "He will be done soo don't be to hard on him" that did nothing to help you or stop your stomach from hurting. You started to bang your hands on the table causing the glasses to shake "Baba!!! Hurry up! I so hungry!" you put you hand on your forhead in a vain attempt to stop the pounding from behind your eyes.
Luckily Lucifer had chosen that particular moment to make his entrance and Beel could not be happier. Asmo and Satan were only a few steps behind him and they could not help laughing as they watched you tearing into Mammon. Beel left your side and walked over to them and pat him on the shoulder "Tag your it, I can't get her to calm down" He was confused until he saw you ontop of the table yelling at Mammon, this tiny human yelling at the Avatar of Greed something most lesser demon don't have the courage to do but here you were a fraction of your normal size confidently holding your own and even frazzling Mammon. Pride was swelling in his chest but for once it was not in himself but for you, he would allow this to continue if only for a few minutes. "Did you not feed her today? Is that why she's so upset" Beel was appaled at the accusation you both had eaten alot today "I made her breakfast, we had tons of snacks oh and I brought her ice cream earlier" Lucifer pinched the bridge of his nose he could feel his headache forming. "What about actual food Beel not just junk food. She hasn't been eating alot recently so she is probably hungry" Beel shrugged he didn't do anything different then what you would do normally when you were spending the day together. "I gave her whatever she asked for, plus I wasn't the only one watching her today so I don't think you should blame me" Lucifer rolled his eyes realizing he wasn't going to get anywhere with this argument. He could feel his heache worsen as he watched an actual child at odds with his younger brother.
Where did Mammon get off yelling he was the one that didn't have dinner ready, well two could play at this game and you were not afraid of him. If you could cook for yourself this would not be an issue but clearly that was out of the question. You knew Mammon took forever but this was out of control.
"You're taking forever! I gonna starve to death before your done!!" you yelled stomping your feet with each word to emphasize your point. "No ya aint Kid. Calm down why you rushin the great Mammon all of a sudden" you rolled your eyes at him "It's been forever and it's" you looked around trying to discern what time of day it was but coming up completely blank "Way past dinner time!" yes that was close that was what you were going to go with. "Ya act like you ya haven't eaten all damn day I know for a fact I saw you eating a huge Ice cream sundae like two hours ago!" Your jaw almost hit the table and you screamed, all brothers in the room covered their ears as they hadn't heard you get this loud and shrill?
You swore at that moment you saw red, Bear Bear brought you that in secret and you weren't supposed to tell any one. How dare Baba, Bear Bear was going to get in trouble and you weren't gonna let that happen. Two could play at that game; "You're such a tattle tale! That was possed to be a secret! Your gonna get Bear Bear and Abba in trouble you dummy head"You crossed your arms and turned your back the look of absolute betrayal on your face "Imma tell Papa where you put that gold card you took last week when he was out with Dia!" you taunted you wouldn't acctually tell on him but you were just so mad. The look on Mammon's face was almost feral at the mention of his beloved credit card.
Lucifer groaned he was growing tired of this back and forth it was getting tiresome and he was starting to get hungry. Though the missing credit card piqued his interest he was not aware Mammon had found his most recent hiding spot. He wasn't all that surprised, he had actually come to expect this from his brother. He would deal with Mammon later, when there was not a fight to difuse in front of him and he wasn't worried about that look on his brothers face. He was about to step in to stop this but he was abruptly cut off.
Mammon was getting fed up with this bratty attitude he didn't care if it was you that was in front of him no one threatened his grimm flow and got away with it. This human was making him soft and he was about to rectify this situation "You are acting like such a damn baby!! A useless bratty one at that!" He snapped probably no defintely harsher then he had really intended. "I wasn't expecting ya to be such a pain in the ass when I agreed to all this! Dinners always late! It never bothered ya before but now since you wanna be a baby it's a damn problem!"
That hurt way more then it should have your face went from anger to heart broken "I never asked for this!! You think I want to be like this!! I want to be normal! I know Im broken! I no even wanted to tell you!" you quickly wiped the tears from your face before your vision got to blurry "I was gonna keep it a secret, I wasn't going to ask for help cause I knew how much of a burden I can be and that was the last thing I wanted!" you carefullt climbed down from your spot on the table and sat down on your chair you could barely look at him your eyes fixed on a spot on the floor "I didn't want to tell you, I'm going home soon anyway it wouldn't have mattered. I no hungry anymore I go to bed please"
Mammons eyes widened as he realized what he said he tried to open his mouth to apoligize to say well anything. But words were wouldn't come out not that there were any words that could make up for what he said; he was just mad most likely too mad but that wasn't an excuse. Before he could further put his foot in his mouth he pulled him into the kitchen while he left Lucifer to deal with the after math and most importanly you.
"Little One? You still with us" you nodded and looked up at him the look on your face shattered his heart you looked devastated by mere words. Words that were said out of anger, words he was sure Mammon didn't even mean. For the first time he was not sure he knew how to make you feel betrter. "I no want to be like this I never did. I don't want to be a baby..." you mumbled and pulled your knees to your chest. You wrapped an arm around them while you gently pulled your tumb into your mouth as you tried to comfort yourself. Lucifer gently pulled it out and replaced it with his own black and red pacifier that was adorned with bat wings. "You are not a baby and we all know that, I really do not believe that Mammon meant anything he said. It does not excuse what he said but I do hope that brings you some comfort." You looked up at him with glassy e/c eyes it did not bring you any manner of comfort, all Mammon had said was the truth. You would just be a bother to them look what just happened. All this was because you did not have the words to tell them what was actually bothering you. The only bright side to this was that your year here was coming to an end soon and you wouldn't have to bother them anymore.
Broken, Bothersome, Baby, Useless all things you constanlty told yourself were true but only now instead of your own voice inside your head it had morphed into the brothers voices, and for some reason that hurt twice as much. Voices that almost always brought you comfort were now breaking you piece by piece. Lucifer wiped away a few stray tears before gently placing his hand on your head "Enough" was all he said and all the thoughts in your brain stoped good bad and otherwise. It was probably a spell you had never bothered to ask, he had done it a few times when you had come to him during panic attacks. "You both said alot of foolish things to each other, he was uncharacterisclly harsh and you were horribly impaintent. You know yelling is not how you get what you want. You understand that don't you? All you ever have to do is ask and any of us will get you whatever it is you need" You looked away from him of course he was right he was always right.
"But Papa my tummy hurts and my head too" Lucifer sighed as he saw the cause of the issue and it was as he expected. You hadn't been eating enough the last few weeks and it was finally catching up to you now that you were but this did not excuse you or Mammon. "If you had said something we would have been able to give you something to hold you over. There was no need to yell and get riled up" you nodded knowing he was right "He has to say sorry first.... He was way meaner then I was" Lucifer rolled his eyes fondly though he did not disagree with your logic he knew Mammon better then that he was not one to apoligize first or well ever. He was not going to explain that to you even though it was you that had started the fight to begin with that was not an option right now. "Now that is something I wish too see as well"
----------------------In the Kitchen-----------------------
"What the actual fuck Mammon that was uncalled for" Beel pushed him back against the counter whether it was too hard was not his concern right now. "I have no idea, I just got mad. And she wouldn't stop now I'm in for the biggest punishment of my life. He will probably hang me from the chandiliers for the rest of the weekend." Beel shrugged it wasn't like he didnt deserve it he and always did this to himself. "Stop stealing and he will stop doing this to you" Mammon didn't bother responding and started to busy himself with dinner "You better apologize to her. You better remeber that she didn't ask us for this! We all offered!" he said making sure to emphasize the offer part of it. Cause they all did you were insistent on not asking them for help but they convinvced you.
Mammon sighed as he looked at your plate, he had just finished it when you started yelling at him "Damn it!" He made sure there was something in the house that you would eat, he figured Devildom food would be a tough sell he remebered when you first came down here and laughed. He did not want to have to try to convince a 5 year old you to eat whatever it was he made for his brothers. He had made sure to have some human food brought in for you. He rembered this was one of the few things you would eat at night when you were depressed so he figured it would be a hit. He took a deep breath and grabbed your plate, it was time to see how much you hated him not that he would blame you.
You had been given a box to sit on so you could reach the table better, Asmo had given you a few little toys and juice to keep you occupied while you waited for your dinner to come out. Mammon put a small plate in front of you "Hey Kiddo I've got those shaped nuggets and macaroni and cheese you like so much" you looked up at him and so much did you want to climb into his arms but you held back Next to Beel Mammon was your best friend down here so his words held weight. "Are they Dinosaur shaped?" he nodded "Only the best for my human"
Everyone took that as there sign to head for the kitchen to make there plates. Asmo kissed your head gently "Hey we will be right back okay. Just gonna go get our own plates since we didn't get table service"
Now or Never Mammon sighed before looking back at you "Listen Kiddo I'm only gonna say this once okay so make sure you listen." It sounded harsh but you knew better "I know your probably mad, really mad even but I didn't mean a word of what I said I was just mad. I know its no excuse. An ya know I'm not the best cook so I have a hard time when it's my night to cook so I was already on edge." you couldn't believe what he was saying it seemed sincere "Im sorry...." those words caused the tears to fall "Baba.." you sniffled "I promise I didn't tell Papa where you put Goldie I told him I was lying and that you didn't have it so you can go put it back and not get in trouble.... I so sorry Baba I no be bad and yell I promise no be a bother" he slowly picked you up and held you close " You are not a bother, not in the least. I was wrong to have called you useless cause yout not. And you weren't bad either so dont go saying that stuff" he hugged you tightly before sitting you back in your chair "Demons just have a bad temper ya know and apparenlty hungry you rivals even the scariest of us" You laughed as you grabbed one of your chicken nuggets "Thanks Baba I eat now" You would talk more about it when you were big and werent starving. He watched you carefully and only when he saw that little happy dance you made when the food was really good did he walk away to get his own plate.
That was on crisis averted.
