aftermath (obey me x reader)

request: hi!! i just wanted to say i really loved reading your works ever since i discovered “grief”! your angst in particular is really touching for me, i somehow really like how you depict sadness and all that. since requests are open, can i ask for a sort-of response to the piece where mc can see lilith’s ghost? like how would mc react to the knowledge that she’s kinda being used as a “substitute” or stand-in, i guess, for the brothers. thank you so much, whether or not you choose to write this

a/n: I’m happy you enjoyed my work to such an extent!! as a writer, it’s always nice to see when your work resonates with people in some way. part one is here, though this could be read as a standalone, too! 

spoilers: Obey Me CH 16-17

They search for any trace of Lilith in you. The curve of your lip, the planes of your face, the fall of your hair– anything that could be linked back to someone who died, thousands of years ago. Anything that could be proof that their sister still existed, that some part of her lived in you.

Sometimes, you examine yourself in the mirror. You know what Lilith looks like; you’ve seen her in your dreams and her ghost walks by your side. But Lilith is beautiful. Inhumanly so. And you? You’re just human. You have to swallow poison every time they compare you to her. It is impossible to live up to someone who had become so idolized in death, someone whose shadow swallows you up before you have a chance to escape.

HOW TO BABYSIT TODDLER LUCIFER 101: THE BROTHERS' SPECIAL EDITION PART 2

A/N: I'm back! Sorry for the long wait. I'm stuck with writer's block in the middle of writing this but I'm okay now. Progress is great but a bit slow because I'm spending SO MUCH TIME watching the Olympics game instead of writing. Sorry ＞﹏＜

And I've decided to again make part 3 for this series because it's getting longer and I'm afraid it'll break my momentum of writing if I wrote longer than I expected. By breaking it apart, I can take a few breaks while you guys get to read the previous part without any hold.

So no more talking, please enjoy this next part. I apologise for any grammatical errors.

Genre: Fluff 🌼

Warning: Contains spoiler for Season 1 Obey Me!

You can read Part 1 here.

**************

Sitting on Satan's bedroom floor while munching on a biscuit, was Lucifer. He wiggled his feet and shook his head to let the bunny ears swung around his head, playfully slapping his own cheeks with the cotton fabric.

Satan clicked his tongue in annoyance and said, "Don't drop the crumbs!"

A few minutes before, Beel had dropped off Lucifer to Satan because he had to attend his fangol practice session. Before doing so, Beel gave Lucifer a few pieces of biscuits for him to snack on.

So now, Satan's stuck babysitting his eldest brother whom he's not so fond off.

After being scolded by Satan, Lucifer immediately stopped and looked down to his lap, slightly pouting.

And now Satan's slapped with guilt.

He let out a deep sigh and ran his fingers through his blond hair in frustration before saying, "Well, what do you want to do now?"

Lucifer brightened up and immediately ran towards one of Satan's bookshelf. He tiptoed a little and grabbed a book with a title, 'The Sleeping Bunny'.

"...Are you doing this on purpose?" Satan chuckled a little when Lucifer handed him the book.

The young Lucifer didn't reply. Instead, he tried lifting himself up into one of Satan's chair to take a seat. Lucifer slipped a few times and a groan left his mouth with a visible frown on his face.

Smiling to himself, Satan carefully picked the toddler up and placed him on his lap. "So you can see the pictures better," he claimed.

Feeling comfortable on Satan's lap, Lucifer pointed to the book cover and said, "This is a bunny." He then gently dropped his head to take the bunny ears in his hands and said, "Luci also a bunny."

Finding himself lost for words, Satan froze. It's taking everything in his will to not squeeze Lucifer's cheek and squeal because of his cute actions.

"But Satan not a bunny. Satan a cat!" the toddler tee-heed.

After another absence of reply from the fourth born and no indication of starting anytime soon, Lucifer leaned back against Satan's torso and looked up to observe Satan's face in worry, "Satan...? Satan don't want to read to Luci?"

Feeling himself turning redder every seconds, Satan cleared his throat and said, "You know what, I think it's better if we take a walk outside instead. You must want to run around, right? Let's go and see some cats while we're at it. Do you want to see the cats?"

No words can describe how elated the young one looked as he climbed down from Satan's lap and raced towards the door, absolutely ready to meet the creatures.

----------------------

"This one is named Mint because her eyes are as green as mint leaves." Satan watched his brother gently petted Mint's calico coloured fur with a smile.

Satan usually gave the stray cats some food and water behind the House of Lamentation so these cats were already comfortable around him, but to see Satan bringing another person with him was rare.

Of course the cats ran away at first but after seeing Satan poured their favourite kibbles, the cats slowly approached the Avatar of Wrath along with the unknown presence. The toddler in bunny onesies didn't strike them as someone with any harmful intentions. He even petted them gently on the head, along with some giggles. Within a minute, the cats already felt comfortable with Lucifer.

Deciding that it's okay to let Lucifer roam around by himself for a while, Satan continued pouring more cat foods for the cats and asked them how their day went. The melodious meows from them only made Satan chuckled.

The cats were really friendly with him and he's glad they're doing the same with Lucifer too. Nothing is perfect than surrounding yourself with friendly cats.

Satan could literally fill up the entire House of Lamentation with cats, but Lucifer would probably be against it. Not that he hasn't tried it before.

Mint also came by and rubbed her body against Satan's hand playfully.

"Mint? I thought you're playing with Lucif-" Satan turned to his side and found no signs of his brother, "-er...?"

A curious meow from Mint failed to calm Satan's beating heart, especially when he reminded himself how this area was quite close with the underground tomb area. And underground tomb means there's also...

"Lucifer!"

In a frantic state, Satan rushed to the underground tomb entrance. There, he saw a tiny figure running excitedly towards the greatest nightmare of a pet.

Lucifer's bunny ears from the onesies flopped up and down, dancing along to the rhythm of Lucifer's racing feet. The toddler extended his arms and hugged the tall, three-headed, dark furry creature.

"Puppy!" Lucifer said, closing his distance with the guard dog, paying no attention to Cerberus's deadly growls.

Suddenly, one of its head came closer and sniffed Lucifer curiously while the toddler just giggled and hugged the dog tighter.

Satan was ready to sweep Lucifer into his arm and just run for their lives should Cerberus showed any signs of attacking.

The atmosphere was very anxiety inducing. He wouldn't dare imagine what Cerberus will do to tiny Lucifer. And most importantly, it's his careless act in the first place that got Lucifer into this mess.

Sensing Satan's presence, Cerberus growled lowly and bared its fang, ready to attack.

"Cerberus, calm down... That's your owner... Don't attack him..." He took a slow step by step, fearing his presence would make Cerberus angrier.

Cerberus made a deep growl again and Satan was ready to grab Lucifer away from the hellhound. But the guard dog only growled at him while the other two heads licked Lucifer's face lovingly.

"Tickles... Hihihi," Lucifer laughed. His height was way too tiny when compared to Cerberus but he showed no fear to the dog.

Seeing Cerberus being on guard because of his presence, Satan decided to back down and let the dog enjoyed his owner's loving affection. Even though all he wanted to do was get the hell out of there, he wouldn't dare leave Lucifer unattended again.

"Satan? Satan is here? Look look! A puppy!" Lucifer turned over to face Satan.

"I'm pretty sure you don't call something as big as Cerberus a puppy," Satan mumbled under his breath.

"Lucifer, I think we should go now. You know, it's gonna be nighttime soon. And I'm pretty sure you're hungry. You're hungry, right? We should get ready for dinner. Come on, let's go," he tried closing his distance with Lucifer without alerting Cerberus.

"Oh... okay..." young Lucifer dejectedly bid his farewell to the hellhound and the dog also licked his owner's face several times before finally letting him go with Satan.

Satan, finally able to approach Lucifer without inciting any reaction from Cerberus, immediately lifted Lucifer up into his arm and made a dash towards the exit. His hold on the toddler tightened as he cursed to himself on how careless of a babysitter he'd been.

Fortunately for him, Cerberus recognised the Morningstar. Had the guard dog disregard the toddler as Lucifer, the worst case scenario could happen.

"Lucifer, never ever ever leave my side without telling me first, okay?"

"Okay!"

"...And don't tell the others about this."

"Okay!" Lucifer laid his head on Satan's shoulder lovingly, trying to ease Satan's anxiety.

---------------------------

Everything went smooth after that.

Satan was able to keep the incident with Cerberus a secret from the others and considering Lucifer is a very good toddler, he didn't mutter a word about it either.

Lucifer was then bathed by Beel and changed into a cute dark blue pajamas chosen by Asmo.

Supposedly, he'd be tired from all the adventures, but Lucifer didn't seem tired at all. He ran around the house, giggling and giving surprise hugs to his brothers' legs and proceed to run away again.

The brothers didn't seem to mind his never-ending energy and just watched him from afar, occasionally patting him on his head before watching Lucifer ran away to find somebody else to hug or play.

It wasn't long until dinner time and the toddler needed to eat.

"Lucifer, dinner's ready!"

And within a minute, Asmo found the young Avatar of Pride beside him, looking as cheerful as ever.

Did something fun happened this evening? He seemed happier...?

It was Belphie's turn to babysit Lucifer, so he picked him up and placed him on his lap. Since the house didn't have any baby chair, they had to improvise.

"Mammon made curry today, so we're eating rice and curry. If it doesn't suit your taste, go tell Mammon that."

"Hey! Don't insult my cooking!"

"Mammon, did you make sure to tone down the spice level? I don't think Lucifer could handle it if it's your usual spicy curry," Satan asked.

"What do ya take me for? 'Course I did! Lil Lucifer is weak now, no way can he handle the Great Mammon's Super Delicious Curry," Mammon responded.

"Just in case, here's some milk." Levi poured the milk into a plastic cup and handed it over to Belphie.

True, Mammon's spicy curry had tone down a notch and Lucifer's able to eat it, but that didn't stop his face from flushing after a few bite because of the heat.

"Is it too spicy for you?" Belphie wiped Lucifer's sweaty forehead with a napkin and was ready to give him the milk.

Lucifer shook his head but his hands were slowly itching to grab the plastic cup from Belphie's hand.

Still prideful as ever.

Sighing, Levi got up from his seat and grabbed Lucifer's plate, "I'll modify this. Wait a minute."

Not minding Lucifer's denial, Belphie gave the milk to Lucifer and watched the toddler drank it in a rush.

Belphie then flicked Lucifer's forehead gently and as nonchalant as ever, said, "Tell the truth next time. You'll get stomach ache if I keep forcing you to eat something you can't handle."

The toddler reacted with a pout and a frown.

---------------------------

Belphie yawned sleepily and sank further onto the couch. He should probably sleep on his own bed but his room is too far. He'd rather take a nap on this nice, comfy couch.

Feeling himself drifting off to sleep, he suddenly felt a weight on top of him. Annoyed from having his nap interrupted, he slowly opened his eyes to see a smiling Lucifer with a book in his hand.

"Belphie, read to me," he said with hopeful eyes.

This tiny thing! How dare he interrupted my nap for this?

"Who do you think I am? Your servant?" Belphie frowned, "Besides, isn't Satan more suited for this job than I am?"

"But... but Satan busy... Luci want to read this..." he looked down at the book, feeling dejected that the seventh born didn't agree to his request.

In his hand was the same book he gave to Satan this evening, 'The Sleeping Bunny'. He was requesting for a bed time story but all of his brothers were busy with their own agendas. That's until he found Belphie resting in the common room.

Sighing in defeat, he finally agreed. The way Lucifer beamed after that made Belphie cheered up a little bit.

Maybe it wasn't so bad...?

Belphie sat up and opened the book, starting to read with a very excited Lucifer sitting on his lap. It was actually a pretty nice story and the images illustrated were simple but impactful.

Belphie thought to himself why someone as intelligent as Satan would keep such storybook for kids in his massive collection of ancient and academic books.

"And the sleeping bunny is finally able to sleep with peace. The end..."

"Yay! Bunny gets sleep!"

"Well, shouldn't you be getting some sleep too? It's late." Belphie ran his fingers through Lucifer's black hair in hope for the toddler to calm down and get ready for bed soon.

"Belphie wants sleep...?"

"Been wanting it since you came over here and tell me to read this," Belphie said, trace of annoyance was still lingering in between his words.

"Okay, then Luci sleeps too." Lucifer nodded, still very much alive but agreed to rest for the night.

Belphie began laying down on the couch again and put Lucifer on his chest. He brought his hand on top of Lucifer's back to secure the toddler's position so he wouldn't fall off. Gently, Belphie tapped Lucifer's back to soothe him and lulled him to sleep.

Lucifer's tiny figure on his chest made him mesmerized on days where the eldest brother would care for them when they're sick.

He'd stay up all night; checking their temperatures; tending to their every needs and cooking his famous congee for them.

Belphie wouldn't want to admit it but he loves Lucifer's special congee, so he's really looking forward to his sick days.

The misunderstanding regarding Lucifer's decision had made a crack on their bonds as brothers. He used to love and adore Lucifer so much, but the self-hatred and constant unforgiving due to Lilith's death made him loathed Lucifer's decision to went along with Diavolo's plan.

Didn't he remember how the brothers suffer so much from the Fall? How they struggled to accept the fact that Lilith is no more? And how hard they had to adapt to Devildom at first?

Lucifer's decision broke Belphie's heart because he felt betrayed.

Betrayed by the fact that his brothers have all moved on.

Betrayed by the fact that he has to share his living space with the sole being that cause Lilith's death.

Betrayed by the fact that his dearest eldest brother forgot about Lilith's pain and went along with Diavolo's plan without any remorse.

If it wasn't for that particular exchange student, this misunderstanding might still happened and this family might be broken beyond repair.

Belphie was really grateful for their existence.

He then gently ruffled Lucifer's hair and gave a kiss on top of Lucifer's head, hand still firmly holding Lucifer in place. Slowly, he began to join Lucifer as well.
