I Love You Simmy
You always forgot how strong the brothers were until the rare occasions they showed you. Mammon carried you through the house as if you weighed no more than a piece of paper. You were all too happy to indulge in the closeness that this allowed, you lowered your head so that you could bury it in his neck. It made your face hurt even more but you couldn’t stop yourself from seeking out his particular brand of comfort. The safety you felt in his arms made the pain bearable.
You desperately fought to keep your eyes open but you were quickly losing that battle. He radiated warmth and that was what was making it difficult. The only thing that was keeping you semi-conscious was the dull pain right behind your eyes. Maybe you could ask one of the brothers to call Simmy and he could come to make everything all better. He was always offering to help with your pain, this time would be no different right? You didn’t usually take him up on it but you could this time? You weren’t asking for too much? Maybe you were the brothers had done so much for you today Simmy included. Asking for anything more seemed selfish and you didn’t want them to think of you that way.
“Hey, Small fry yer thinkin' kinda loud. What's a matter?” you laughed how was it they always knew? Maybe they could secretly read your mind that would be something wouldn’t it?
“Ummmmmmm…… c-c-can you pwease…. Ummm” You stammered nervously you knew they would do anything you asked but you couldn’t make the words come out right.
Mammon smiled and placed you at your usual spot at the table. “Slow down a little bit kid and just ask. When have I ever told you no”
You took a deep breath, you could do this. They wouldn’t want you to be in pain they would be more upset at that than you asking for help. “Could you maybe pwease call Simmy…… My face hurts and I has head ouchies”
Mammon frowned he wished that he would be able to ease your pains but he had lost that ability long before meeting you. Simeon would be a better option anyway. Plus, it was good that you were asking for him, after what had happened on Saturday he was worried you would not want to see him while you were small.
“Of course, just eat the soup Beel made for you and I’ll try to get a hold of him okay? I’m sure he will come flying over once he hears it’s for you” You smiled happily taking a big spoonful of chicken noodle soup. You smiled Beel was trying so hard to learn as much as he could about human world food. He had probably seen on TV that when humans were sick they ate chicken noodle soup. The biggest cliché’ if you ask me. But it was the thought that counted and he tried to make you something and it did make you feel warm inside. Whether that was because of the soup or who made it for you, you didn’t question it.
M- Angel?! Ya around at all?
S- Well hello to you too Mammon.
S- How can I be of assistance?
M- It’s MC….
M- they are in a lotta pain and there askin’ for ya.
S- Are you sure it is me they are asking for?
S- It did not exactly go well last time. They have been through enough today I do not wish to add to it.
M- Why wouldn’t they want ya?
M- Don’t sound so surprised. Ya know we can’t
do anything to help them.
S- They never willingly ask for my assistance.
S- I mean once maybe but that was all.
M- That should tell ya how crappy they feel.
S- For once I agree with you.
M- Ya know I should take offense!
S- Oh Stop! I didn’t mean it like that.
M- Ya, sure did.
M- Ya know I wish I could help them.
M- I lost that power…
M- We all lost that power…
S- You are correct…
S- I do apologize for being insensitive.
S- I will ask Luke to distract Solomon and be over quickly.
M- Yea, ya better leave that no-good
Sorcerer at home.
M- They don’t need him mucking
anything up again.
M- He caused more then enough trouble
For them last time he was here.
S- You are not one to talk about causing trouble.
S- But yes,I do understand.
S- You are correct. Hence why Luke shall distract him.
S- I do not believe they can handle him right now.
M- Bet yer holy ass I’m right.
S- Try not to let it go to your head okay?
M- It’s much too late for that now.
M- Just get here already. There in pain.
M- More time you waste messaging me
The longer it takes till you get here.
S- Maybe you’re still an angel at heart.
S- I’m on my way. Do your best to keep them calm.
M- Obviously…
M- Stupid Angel…
Simeon sighed he could not imagine how much pain you were in that you actively were seeking him out. You always adamantly refused any help he offered you. He usually had to force his assistance on you once it became unbearable. The last time you had come to see him of your own accord had truly been an unfortunate experience for the both of you. You had relapsed if only slightly and were terrified of anyone finding out. The damage was quite severe and he was almost not able to do anything. But he couldn’t stop trying watching you cry begging him not to tell Lord Diavolo because you didn’t want to be sent away, that was something his heart almost couldn’t handle.
Hindsight is 2020 and he should have said something. But all he had wanted was for you to stop crying. So he sat with you, took care of you, and did his best to put all the pieces back together. He took care of you then and he would do so now. All he has to do is give Solomon the slip and he was all yours for as long as you needed.
“Well Kid ya got yer wish that shitty angel is on his way. And don’t ya worry I told him to leave his awful sorcerer at home” You smiled at him happily “He no mind? He not busy?”
“Na kid. He wasn’t too busy he will be over here soon. So just finish yer soup and we will go wait for him in yer room” You nodded happily before digging back into your soup it truly was delicious. It reminded you of someone but you could not exactly place it right now.
You had only been sitting in your room for about thirty minutes when the knock came. “Simmy” you shouted cheerfully before running to your door to open it for him “You fix my ouchies like last time?”
Simeon smiled closing the door behind him “Of course angel I will do my best. Want to point to what’s hurting the most”
As he took a seat on your bed you crawled into his lap settling in a spot on his knees. You clumsily pointed right in between your eyes “Ummm my head hurts the most”
Simeon sighed as he took in the large bruise around your eye and the several of them that went down your jaw. The fact that your head was what was bothering you the most worried him. He gently placed a hand on your head and allowed his magic to envelop you. “Now you know how this works it will be a little uncomfortable but you will feel better after”
You nodded you remembered the last time he had done this, the pain while healing was almost as bad as what you had inflicted on yourself. He said that was the counterbalance, it was in the hopes that you would be more careful in the future. Angel powers are not always going to be at your beck and call. “Yeah Simmy I know”
He smiled and quickly began to focus on healing. He did his best to ignore your whimpers because if he paid too much attention to it he would lose his nerve and stop. But that would not serve any purpose luckily it only took a few moments to ease most if not all of the pain. “No more head ouchies”
You laughed and rested your head against his bare shoulder. For an angel he was sturdy, you would think he was frailer like Luke but he was the complete opposite. He was built firm and his skin was smoother then anything you had ever felt. Maybe that was just an angel thing. But he made you feel like you never wanted to leave his side.
“Anywhere else troubling you? You hung your head not wanting to answer because you knew you would have to show him. “Come now angel tell me I can not help if you don’t. If telling me is too hard you can show me?”
You grumbled something incoherent and reached for the hem of your shirt. You slowly pulled it over your head to reveal a large bruise that covered the entire right side of your rib cage. He could tell several ribs were at least cracked. “Oh, Angel I am so sorry I didn’t find you sooner”
You sniffled wiping the tears from your eyes “It okay Simmy it just hurts real bad. You won’t tell Papa how bad it is right? He a tattle tale and he will tell Uncle Dia and Barbie.”
He sighed this was not something he would be able to keep silent about how your injuries progressed was important for them to know so they could proceed with their end of things. He did not want to worry you but he could not lie to you either. “They will see it eventually. My powers only stop the pain the marks will still be there remember” Your hand instinctually grabbed your right wrist as if to hide it.
He gently placed his hand over yours squeezing hoping to provide you with an ounce of comfort. “None of that now. It is nothing I have not seen now please relax so I can finish”
You nodded and put your hands at your side and turned just so that he had access to the entire bruise. HE placed his hand on it again allowing his magic to take the lead. He knew this would take a while the bruise was deep. He knew he wouldn’t be able to heal it completely but he would do his best.
Once he was done you were yawning. “Want to take a nap? I can stay wi….. ooof”
Before he had even finished his offer you pushed him back against the pillows on your bed “Yes Simmy it nap time” You had curled into his side the best you could and let him pull the blankets on you both. He knew healing would drain almost all of your energy so he had come prepared.
The Seven Demon Brothers
S- I healed her to the best of my abilities.
She is tired and we are going to nap. So
Leave us be.
A- Awwww Jealous. I want baby snuggles
S- Very good me and Barbatos are almost complete.
B- I was already napping. But I’m glad the baby is okay.
L- I thank you Simeon I know how draining healing can be.
S- Oh hush.. It was honestly
A pleasure. The least I could do.
S- I’ll bring her down after her nap
L- Very good Simeon. Thank You.
Simeon tossed his phone aside, he would take advantage of this as long as he could. He pulled you in close and kissed your forehead “I wuv you, Simmy….” He couldn’t help the blush that formed on his cheeks it was rare you were so candid with him. “I love you to MC” and he meant that with everything he had. You had changed his life for the better. He would never be able to thank you for what you’ve given him well all of them really. If this was what you needed from him he would happily comply for as long as you needed.
