hello yes can i just say i l o v e d your gen z hcs and may i acquire more
for starters, i am not religious, but i am PRAYING you don’t think i was ignoring your ask. i’ve been thinking about it since i got it, it’s just that i’m a college student with worms for brains, so hopefully you understand. this is something that i’ve had on my mind for a long time [i’ve been at this on and off for months], and it most definitely can be associated with/attributed to gen z. 
for a fleeting, wonderful period of time, there was a trend on tiktok that went, “buss it, buss it…” are you familiar? 
that should be enough of a summary, right? ah—for future reference, “o7” is like a saluting emote, for anyone who might not know. reader is g/n as usual, enjoy!
[a/n: so because this is so long, this part is going to be, like, the lore, and then the actual headcanons will be right here]
trendy 
the two things most corrosive to the human spirit are easily named—capitalism and boredom. while it would be easier and less taxing to explain the former, the latter was the problem at hand. it’s not that there was nothing to do in the devildom—quite the opposite, actually—it was just that you wanted some time to yourself every now and again. the trouble with trying to take time for yourself in a completely new location, the residents of which are always enamored with you in one way or another, is that there isn’t anything to do. the house was full of adventures for you to take—the trap door under the rug in the library, the other trap door under the dining room table, the small door behind the couch in the living room, and whatever other poorly hidden doors your seven roommates thought you didn’t know about. 
trouble was, you didn’t want to leave your room. you, intelligent creature that you are, knew that the chances of you running into mammon or satan or beel or asmo were all too high, and even higher were the chances of you agreeing to spend time with them if they asked, and you knew they would. what were you to do? 
you stared at your ceiling from your bed, d.d.d. resting on your stomach as you let your mind wander. your d.d.d. was full of things for you to do, the devildom’s ethernet at your fingertips, but you weren’t interested in finding new things right now. you wanted something familiar, like—like your phone. 
what was the point of lucifer taking your phone, anyway? it’s not like you could use it—being here rendered it a useless brick of glass and metal, so it wouldn’t have been a big deal if you still had it. it was funny, though, that you couldn’t use your actual phone when it was still possible to access the human internet from down here. 
at least, you assumed so. 
how else would levi be able to keep up with his human idols, get tickets for their shows—the works, you know? luckily, you were fully capable of asking. 
d.d.d. now in your hand, you rolled onto your stomach and found your messages with levi, nails clacking against the glass as you tried to reach him.
hey, you texted, can you help me with something?
his reply came faster than you expected: ?? what do you need 
how do i access human websites and apps, you asked, rolling onto your side. you know how to, right?
lololol, it’s not possible :p
a grunt, more aggravated than you’d care to admit, escaped from the back of your throat.
don’t lie. 
a few minutes passed with no response, and you wondered if you were too harsh. 
“he’s a sensitive guy,” you mumbled, inhaling deeply. “i probably came on too strong or something.” 
just as you started typing out an apology and a, “forget i ever said anything,” you got a response. 
a vpn and a proxy site. 
a smile crept onto your face as air came out of your nose, the closest thing to a laugh you could muster. 
can you set it up for me? 
after another few minutes of no response, you sit up, wondering how you could’ve possibly fucked up a second time, your d.d.d. buzzed. 
levi sent you a file and a link, with a host of instructions. 
click on the file and it’ll take you to the vpn you need to download. don’t worry about bugs or anything, i made it myself. 
you let out a low whistle, flopping onto your back once more. 
“this guy gets up to more than i thought,” you said, eyebrows raised. “someone get this man some physical affection.” 
you continued to read, growing more fond of him with each sentence.
once you install it, pick the country whose network you want access to. from there, you’ll have a list of that country’s most used applications available for you. again, don’t worry about bugs. 
what’s the link for? you asked, excitement getting the better of you. 
for when you download internet applications. it’s added security, paste the link in before you search anything or you’ll trigger the firewall alarm. 
you blinked. 
you’ll trigger the what? 
i’ll trigger the fucking What? 
levi’s response was the fastest one yet: the Fucking Firewall Alarm. barbatos’ design. he has no idea i know how to bypass it. just do what i said. don’t try to solve any potential issues on your own, come to me for everything.
roger that o7, you replied, thanks levi ^_^
yeah, yeah. come to my room for a hxh binge tomorrow night.
you snorted. what a fucking nerd—in the greatest way possible. 
of course bestie :] ily
ily2 normie -_- 
in his room, unbeknownst to you, levi felt like he made a mistake of some kind. it’s not that he didn’t trust you, it’s just that you had a tendency to end up in undesirable situations, even if it wasn’t always on purpose. he was probably just worried over nothing, or so he tried to tell himself, but whatever. this isn’t even about him.
you sat up once more, this time leaning against your pillows as you started setting everything up. everything went so quickly that you barely wondered if all of this—subverting hell’s firewall, personally designed by a man eerily similar to a 2D crush from when you were in middle school—was worth accessing a few silly apps from the human world. 
a few minutes later, your d.d.d. now a much, much cooler copy of your phone, any and all thoughts of regret and hesitation were absent from your mind. 
your first order of business on your upgraded d.d.d. was logging into your tiktok account, however surprising it was that you even remembered the password. you put your headphones in and adjusted your volume, going back into the dumpster fire that is your for-you page with open arms. 
after around half an hour of stifled laughter and small, offended gasps from being targeted by the algorithm, you came across a rare dancing video. the person on your screen was in casual clothes, making minor, silly dance movements as the music dwindled, only for them to drop into a squat in time with the music, suddenly dolled up. you shot forward, taken aback by their transformation and by their dancing post beat drop. did you watch it on a loop for a few minutes? well, that’s nobody’s business but yours. you clicked on the sound in hopes of finding similar videos, and much to your relief, there were plenty. about ten videos in, a smile still on your face, you got an idea. 
you slipped your headphones out, arbitrarily looking around your room, before whispering to yourself, “i could—i could do that. i could totally do that.” 
and you were right. you had nice clothes and makeup from various shopping occasions with asmo. your room had led strips, courtesy of levi ordering the wrong ones and being so kind as to give them to you. you could do it. 
levi was the only person you’d spoken to since you retreated to your room a few hours ago, and the lights have been off the entire time, which meant that if you worked quietly enough, everyone else had reason enough to assume you were asleep. good! how could you possibly explain what you were doing getting all dolled up at, like, 11:00 on a wednesday night? you couldn’t, even a little bit—not in a way that convinced anyone, anyway. 
come midnight, you were sitting cross legged on your bed, watching your final product. not to be vain or anything, but you were looking very respectfully at yourself. since when could you move like that, anyway? the wonders of being alone, you supposed. 
you didn’t post it publicly, electing to save it as a draft just so it would save to your d.d.d. maybe you’d post it once you were back in the human world, when your friends wouldn’t swarm your comments asking where the fuck you were. 
yeah, lucifer told you, “everything was taken care of,” but regardless of whether or not you believed him, you knew it wasn’t a good idea to risk finding out if he missed something. 
boredom creeping up on you again, you elected to go through the messages on your d.d.d. it would be better to make yourself laugh before you were fully bored again, right? you stood up and stretched, opening the group text with the adults. luke doesn’t know about it; he thinks the one with everyone is the main one, and everyone lets him think that so he feels included. 
walking around your room in small circles, you scrolled up to the older conversations and read through them, rolling your eyes and chuckling to yourself. very rarely did they talk about anything of importance. it was mostly diavolo, barbatos, and simeon making quips and jokes at lucifer’s expense for everyone to see. it was gold in its purest form. 
you contemplated sending one of the many cursed things sitting in your camera roll, just to keep them on their toes, but just after opening your gallery, you resigned not to, figuring it would be best to leave him alone. 
you stretched again, the hold on your d.d.d. a bit looser this time. it nearly slipped out of your hands, but you caught it, tossing it onto your bed. as soon as you resigned to start getting ready for bed, you turned back around and picked it up. 
there was no rhyme or reason to your actions; if someone in that moment were to ask you why you did it, you would’ve said, “just ‘cause.”
human intuition is a wonderful thing.
your d.d.d. was still on, still open to the group chat. you’d sent something, evidently a second ago, as indicated by the time stamp. the thumbnail was of you, in casual clothing—the casual clothing you were wearing before you got dolled up, actually. huh. 
huh. 
the weight of your mistake came crashing down on you in full force, a chill sinking into your skin and running up your spine.
you were suddenly acutely aware of the concept of time, how it was of the essence and you had absolutely none to waste.
what were you to do? it wouldn’t be long before your favorite person saw it. you had to do something. 
you could say nothing. you could tell the truth and say it was an accident and that you were embarrassed, but that was even worse than saying nothing because it meant you were set to be the target of teasing you didn’t even wanna try to imagine. you could say it was an accident and be confident about it, telling them, “enjoy!” but that was a dangerous game to play, and you knew it. 
well, i do admire you for taking time to think, but, unfortunately, there was a checkmark next to your message. oh, a number as well—eleven. you just can’t catch a break. what were they all doing up at this time, anyway? it was a school night🤨.

Could I request MC being distant with their demon bro S/O and hanging out with their brothers more. The bros don’t know why. Do they wanna break up? Do they need some space away? Do they like another one of the bros more? As they go to talk things out with MC they overhear them talking with the other bros about how they want to plan the perfect date for their 1 year anniversary and need their help in making sure everything goes well. How do the bros react??
Of course anon! Sorry for the late reply, here you go! I just got back from the hospital, aha guess who has sciatica, that might not go away for months? aha aha. 2021 sure is a bang!! (:
Side note I got a free pull on chapter and got a UR but literally nothing on my ten pull not even an SSR that I didn’t own. I only got one SSR. This is luck and so unlucky.
Brothers react to GN!Reader being distant..?
Lucifer
Lucifer was often busy, and he knew that. He stayed up late and had to attend many meetings, but you’d always be so understanding and he loved that about you.
But recently, you haven’t been waiting for him in his office or running to his office with a warm cup of tea, telling him not to overwork himself like normal.
At first he was not super concerned. You must be busy getting your midterms done, and studying! You want him to be proud of you and praise you.
However he happened to go for a break and see you leisurely chatting with his brothers? And not studying? After noticing him, you avoided eye contact and ran.
He was concerned and knew something was up. He would confront you, but it seems like you did not want to talk to him. Did he do something wrong?
He started taking a few breaks, and sort of stalked you. He was getting annoyed and was going to finally corner you, until he heard Mammon very loudly shout out this was going to be the best anniversary date.
Asmo was also clapping and cheering talking about how cute/cool you would look for your anniversary date for Lucifer. It finally clicked.
He chuckled to himself as he walked back into his office and quickly finished off his work, after being in a good mood. He’s been so busy recently he failed to realise your anniversary was so soon.
When your first anniversary date finally came, he was calm and collected. Before you could even tell him the plan, who pulled out some flowers and chocolate, giving you a chaste kiss on the forehead.
Mammon
He was having a really bad day, losing all of the money he just earned, and wanted to cuddle you.
You were nowhere to be seen, so he waited for you on the couch, seeking your warmth as soon as you returned.
However, you came back with Beel,, and Lucifer,, and Belphie... why??? Why would you hang out with those guys?? On a Saturday?!
He pounced and cuddle you, and chased off his brothers. He cuddled you in front of the door, and wouldn’t let you get up for twenty minutes and kept mumbling “you’re my human!”
After head patting and backrubbing, he sat up and got off of you. You gently got up and told him you’ve got things to do, but you’ll cuddle later.
Later never came, but you talking to his brothers did. Why weren’t you giving him attention? You were his! He was your first! And that includes first to talk to about your day!
It was completely accidental, but while he headed to your room to cuddle, he heard you pleading with Lucifer to not be mean to Mammon for awhile, and to help make your date smooth.
He thought you were asking Lucifer on a date, but then he heard his name, and one year anniversary.
Fuck. He forgot that existed. Wait wait wait. His human is setting up a date? He’s so proud.
You already know that he knows because he’s utterly confident approaching you and puffs out his chest and swings his arm around your shoulder,
He thinks he’s so sneaky, but you all knew that he knows. If that’s the case, he may as well get his snuggle time back now.
Leviathan
You would go to Levi’s room every evening after dinner just to hear him ramble on about his newest merch, or to cuddle him and give him an abundance of affection.
However, recently you’ve said that you needed to focus on your grades a bit, since you were failing, so you’ll make it up to him when it’s over.
Of course he didn’t question it. A normie like you still has to occasionally study. He was going to play some horror games he recently bought, so it was for the best.
He was so absorbed in his games he didn’t notice you haven’t stopped by for a week, or that your grades weren’t even bad. That was until..
“Shit.” He hissed as he reached into an empty drawer. All of his emergency rations were gone, so he’d have to leave his room to fetch somemore. He begrudgingly made his way to the kitchen, where he found you laughing and joking with his brothers.
He didn’t enter, only watch through a small creak in the door and let his mind go wild. Did you hate him? Why are you laughing? Is mammon actually funny? Why are you nodding? Why is there that excited look in your eyes?
He ran away back to his room seething with rage. He was jealous, yet afraid. A thousand thoughts went through his head, to the point he was ignoring you when you approached him.
You were concerned, but it made your job easier. Though, this made Levi angrier and caused him to doubt himself more. Why weren’t you chasing after him??! It’s obvious he wants you to ask him what’s wrong.
He finally marched to the living room, his jealousy outweighing his self-doubt, and was about to confront you. Until he heard Beel say he got the reservation at a cat-maid cafe downtown.
What? And then he heard Mammon say that he found the figurine of a limited edition Ruri chan you were trying to get for your anniversary.
Shit oh man. Levi forgot about your anniversary. He thought you said you didn’t want to do anything?? He’s keyboard smashing while his face goes red, running to his room.
Are you really doing this for him?? A yucky otaku?? Is it true you actually live him? His jealousy instantly cleared and he became giddy, and then worried about what to get you.
On the day of the date he fidgeted a whole lot waiting for you to ask him, and nearly shouted yes as you told him you wanted to go somewhere. He fell in love with you again.
Satan
Immediately suspicious when you refused to spend time with him. Thought you were mad at him or tired of him, due to his anger issues.
Gets angry when he sees you talking to his brothers, or walking with them in between classes. When did you get so close with them?
He’s not one to hide his feelings, so he was going to ask you what’s going on, he’s not playing a cat and mouse game with you. If you don’t love him anymore, just tell him. And at the very least don’t let it be Lucifer who you love now.
Your anniversary was coming up and he knew it. He didn’t want to waste his time planning something for you two if you were going to break up with him.
He was entering the living room to confirm your feelings with you when he hears Lucifer tell you where you could get one of Satan’s favourite spell books that he’s wanted a hard copy of since forever.
He hears Beel tell you of good restaurants, and understands. You were doing that cliche things that happens in books.
He chuckled to himself for not being a great detective on this case, and observed you from a distance. Happy looking at you, who thinks they’re so sneaky.
On the day of the date he completely one ups you, whatever gift you gave him was nothing compared to amount of love he showered you with, and he even played stupid.
“I’m so hurt, I thought you’d break up with me on our anniversary.” You panicked and tried to reassure him and watch him laugh.
Asmodeous
Honey, do you REALLY think he’d forget your anniversary, or think his brothers are a thing to worry about? He’s the prettiest out of all of them! What’s there to worry about?
He catches on very early that you were planning to make your anniversary special. He can just feel your love for him, even when you’re distant.
He knows the only reason you’d communicate with all those annoying brother’s of his for more than five minutes and ignore him is if you’re asking about him!
He overhears you talking to them about them when he comes back from shopping one day, which confirms his suspicions.
It’s a good thing, since he can freely go shop for you. He buys a ton of stuff because your cute face keeps popping up in his head, and how cute you are planning a secret date for him because you love him.
Your cuteness might even rival his. While you finish up setting the date, he’s preparing himself. The night before he goes all out with his beauty products, cucumbers, face mask.
He even anonymously leaves you a bunch of beauty products. Of course it had to be Asmo though, since there was glitter everywhere, and a bunch of hearts on a note that said “anonymous”.
The next day he wore his cutest outfit, an adorable crop top and sweater, with his designer bags and boots, he looked like the absolute queen he is.
From the gift you got, you assumed he knew. And from his look, he knew. It was just amazing how you seven really thought Asmo, the king of love, would not remember the anniversary of the one person he’s ever actually loved, not just for their body, but for their personality.
Would be insulted if you didn’t do this for him. You’re just so adorable!! He also forces you to change your outfit to match with him, and absolutely uploads a ton of selfies saying matching and couple goals!!
Beelzebub
You told him you were busy, and that you couldn’t spend as much time with him as usual. He was super supportive like you have a life too!! Go ahead!! I love you!! Don’t worry!!
But then he sees you hanging out with his brothers a lot and laughing and having fun and his aura just radiates the “):” face.
Did you not want to spend time with him? Is it because he ate part of your wall? Were you tired of him?? Did you not like big boys anymore??
He looked super sad and depressed and you wanted to cry and squish his cheeks, but didn’t want to ruin the surprise. You forced your heart to be closed so you could make him happy later.
He knew your anniversary was coming up and wanted to do something special!! But did you subtly hint you no longer loved him and not even attempt to do an anniversary food binge with you?
It clicked when he walked in on Asmo shoving clothes in your direction telling you to pick out your favourite one, so he could match you and Beel for the day of your date.
His entire entity went from “):” to “:)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” He just mentally said I love you.
He just melted to your touch in the few moments you would stay together. He couldn’t hide how much he loved you and wanted to squish you afterwards, with his big soft hands. But he had to resist.
You thought he was touch deprived, but were so glad to see it wasn’t the case!! And that he actually had a surprise for you!!
On top of all his meal coupons he’s saved on the past decade, he covered you in kisses and snuggled with you!!
Your date was cancelled because he just ended up cuddling you for so long, it was afternoon by the time you made it to the door.
Belphiegor
He was asleep a lot, so he didn’t notice at first. But each time he fell asleep with you, he woke up with empty arms. Sometimes even in his bed and alone.
Made him kind of pissed, because he liked how squishy you were. Your stomach was a great pillow, and he could hear your heartbeat when he laid his head on your chest. Your thighs were also plush and smooth.
Then it finally made him pissed to the pissiest degree you when you said you couldn’t sleep with him.
He was throwing a tantrum later when he saw you talking to his brothers. He was going to murder all of them if they did not sleep with one eye open.
One of these days he knew he was going to stab Lucifer in his sleep for being a little bitch, having to exist and breathe oxygen, but now the others are up on that list. Maybe not Beel, but he was still angry at him.
It was an accident, but he heard them talk about your one year anniversary, and heard Beel ask if you were getting enough sleep from how often you’ve been going out to prepare.
He’s like,, what one year anniversary? Is it a human world celebration?
Oh. He just said your one year dating anniversary. He is dating you.
He forgot that existed, people celebrating relationship goals. He’s never dated anyone. He doesn’t like people in general.
He huffed due to how you refused him and always left, over a small deal. It’s just an anniversary. But since you’re so excited he could let it go.
He napped a whole lot, and it came to the date sooner than he expected. You were all dressed up and he combed his hair and took a refreshing shower.
This is true couple goals, he didn’t look like he just rolled out of bed for once, and it was just to make you happy. He even gave you a little pillow!!

It took a while to get this done because I wanted to make sure that I got Luci down and in character as much as I could with this being my first time ever writing for him- and I really hope I did. x_x- but I hope you like it, @therealsilentlyfangirling. I know things have been insane and really rough with the lock-down, online school, that damnable essay and prom. How heartbroken you were over it was the reason why I decided to start writing this fic because I wanted to cheer you up and make you smile, but then it was joined by just wanting to do something to make you smile as well, because you brighten my day without even trying. So I really hope that you like this bean. ^~^ ❤️❤️🤗🤗

So it seemed as things were truly a mess in the human world with the pandemic that seemed to be sweeping across it. Humanity had done some truly abhorrent things, but this was one of the biggest messes he had seen in a very long time. Of course, he knew he wasn’t susceptible to it, such things wouldn’t affect a demon like him, but that did not mean that he wasn’t concerned about a particular human, the same one who had been subsequently swamped with school work that was clearly weighing on her ever since she had begun to take the online classes..She had so far powered through every assignment with the same determination and willpower that she always would and he would readily admit that he was proud of her for it, but lately, Lucifer could see that the stress and the sorrow that came with the strictness and overall unpleasantness of the situation was something that was not making her an exception, even if she hid such things with that smile of hers, he could see it in her eyes, one such thing was no doubt troubling her..And that was the dance, or as she had called it, the Prom, that had been canceled due to the lock-down. Truly, how prone humans were to make mistakes at times was something that really made him doubt if they ever learned anything from their actions in the past.
Even as Lucifer sat at his desk, his fingers holding the pen as he worked on his designated paperwork for the night, how crestfallen she had looked when she had told him the news was an image that he was still unable to shake from his thoughts. The sadness of a human shouldn’t have affected him; after all, canceling an event had been something that was no doubt vital to ensure that none of the students got sick, if he was in charge down in the human world, he would have taken the exact same action. And yet..it not bothered, but it bothered him greatly. From the very beginning, he had found himself concerning himself with her comfort and well being while she was attending R.A.D and although he had told himself and his brothers each time that he was simply following Lord Diavolo’s orders, a part of him doubted that that was the only reason as to why he was doing it and for just a moment, when he had been asked again, he found himself being unsure. That very uncertainty had only continued to bloom inside of him along with other emotions that she was constantly bringing out within him and oftentimes with the simplest of things. Lucifer would’ve found such a thing laughable, he, the avatar of Pride being charmed by a human but the seeds of denial could only grow so far and the more he came to know Bronwen those feelings only grew, slowly but surely; as if they were a flower that was slowly blooming inside of him,  her demeanor the sunlight and water while her company was the soil, causing those seeds to be buried beneath. This was only made more apparent- almost annoyingly so- with his present inability to focus on the paperwork, each time he tried to focus on one of them, the concern that he held for Bronwen was relentless and won the battle with his attempts to focus on the paperwork, each time
A quiet exasperated sigh escaped Lucifer's lips as he sat back in his chair, his gloved fingers abandoning the pen on the paper that he had just finished signing. Residing himself to his thoughts, he lets his thoughts wander as his scarlet hues linger on the same pen he had just been writing with. Try as he might to ignore such feelings, the fact was that he truly hated seeing that sadness in her eyes...Not when they should’ve been twinkling with the same refreshing happiness that he would enjoy seeing in her eyes, a happiness that was at times joined by curiosity, awe, surprise, and intellect, as well as other emotions. Although it wasn’t his most favored look in her eyes that he prided himself on keeping to himself for his own enjoyment; such as that adorable, near submissive shyness that would come to her eyes whenever he would take the opportunity to tease her; it was one that never failed to, for lack of a better term, brighten up his day when his day had been otherwise filled with nothing but the stress that never failed to give him a headache. Be it either from the paperwork and other business he had in the Devlidom or due to the antics of Lord Diavolo or his brothers that he was frequently subjected to. His eyes narrow in thought as he thinks to himself in silence, before his gloved hand reaches out again but not for the pen, but his phone as his fingers fly across the keyboard before sending the message to the one person who he felt he could not only trust with keeping the organizing of this event under lock and key until the day it would be held; but also someone who he knew would be the key factor of helping it come together in general. Perhaps he was being a bit too rash, after all, he knew he wasn’t usually one to do things on a whim and it was a whim that he would definitely notice with how well Lucifer knew he knew him and as he gets the response, his thoughts are instantly proven right, but as he reads the message relief and gratitude quickly comes to him as his expression shifts into a light smile.

The online school truly sucked. At this rate, Bronwen would take normal classes over this chaos that had been forced upon her. Really the only upside was that you didn’t actually have to go to school because of this whole quarantine mess. Even if she had enjoyed the free time it gave her, the novelty was something that was quickly wearing off, especially with the news of the dance that she had been looking forward to so much, was canceled. 
She was crushed.
Disappointed was an understatement, that school year had been as taxing and exhausting as ever and so the promise of Prom had been something that felt like a reward at the end of the tunnel and the fact that that was no longer going to happen was...Heartbreaking in a way. Of course, her friends and her parents were there for her, especially a certain witch, but even so the disappointment and sadness at knowing that it wouldn’t be happening remained. Having just finished the last of her homework, looking down at her phone, her back slightly arched from how long she had spent slightly bent over while she had been doing her schoolwork, how late it was didn’t surprise her, in fact, Bronwen knew she would’ve continued working on it if her stomach wasn’t demanding her to eat something. Picking up her phone, a smile, albeit somewhat tired came onto her expression as she opened the messenger and clicked on the chat that she had been using to talk to the pink-haired witch who had come to be her friend, she hesitated for a moment, knowing that even with how late it was, Luna was likely working in her room as always and most likely on another spell. Not seeing the harm in simply sending a ‘ hello ‘ to her friend and the magic teacher that was helping her with unlocking her own magic, as well as training it, before awaiting the reply. When no answer came, however, her smile quickly shifted to one of confusion. 
Ten minutes. Twenty minutes, thirty. 
Still, no answer came from the pinkette and as she looked down at the screen she could feel worry sinking in as her thoughts drift to Lucifer, all seven of the brothers had been somewhat hard to reach for some reason for the past few days and if she asked any of them if they had some free time to spare, most of the time all seven would give the same answer. That they were busy. She knew this was an occasional occurrence with Lucifer, Levi, Luna, and a few of the other brothers, but even Beel, Belphie, and Mammon had given the answer. She was truly at a loss as to what was going on, had she done something wrong? She sincerely hoped not. Closing her eyes, the brunette gives a shake of her head as her eyes closed for just a moment. It was unlikely that they were ignoring her deliberately, she knew that wasn’t them. They were just likely busy with other things, something that she absolutely understood with how insane online school had decided to be. Saving the work she had done so far, she turns off the device that she had been working on the project and other schoolwork on before placing it on the nightstand beside her bed; before laying down. And as her back met the plush comforter it was nothing but a relief after spending who knows how long with her back slightly hunched as it undoubtedly was; but even as her chocolate-colored hues looked up at the ceiling the confusion mashed with concern, and it’s a concern and worry that remains as she slowly begins to drift off to sleep, regardless of how she was still wearing her school uniform.

The feeling of gentle fingers combing through her long chocolate hair pulled her from her sleep, having taken a nap after finishing some of her schoolwork after classes had finished for the day, and as her eyes drift up to see who those fingers belonged to, the embarrassment and surprise that immediately came to her upon seeing the familiar scarlet hued gaze of Lucifer, any and all sleepiness leaves her as if it had been thrown directly out the nearest window as she bolts upright; back straight and heat blooming scarlet over her cheeks. As the sound of a fond but amused chuckle escaped Lucifer, neither things were helped as her eyes drifted down as the desire to jump into the nearest hole that opened up being was becoming extremely tempting.
“ L-Lucifer..I’m sorry I was just taking a nap, are the others waiting downstairs for dinner? I’ll freshen myself up and be down in a minute, I didn’t mean to keep you all waiting. “ 
Fully expecting the strict sternness to take the place of the softness that seemed to be presently filling his scarlet hues, she prepared herself for the scolding that she was likely about to get, however, the softness didn’t fade if anything the faint traces of amusement that he was likely getting at seeing the blush on her expression only remained along with a soft sense of tenderness that made itself visible along with something else that she was unable to catch for just a moment as he looked at her. 
“ It’s alright, there’s no need for you to apologize. I know that you’ve been struggling with your schoolwork lately so I wanted to give you some time to rest. Don’t concern yourself with joining the others for dinner, I actually came to discuss something with you. “ 
Surprise, confusion, and curiosity quickly came to her eyes as she looked at him for a moment before finally giving a soft nod of her head of compliance. He wasn’t here to call her down to join the others for dinner? Strange...He was usually so strict when it came to dinnertime.
“ Okay, sure. What do you need me to do? Is something wrong? “ 
And yet the smile remained on Lucifer's expression, his scarlet hues giving nothing away even as he gave a brief shake of his head. The sound of the door opening again quickly causes her attention to go to the source of the noise, especially when that brief sound is also joined by two sets of footsteps and as her attention lands on Asmodeus and Luna, the confusion that she was feeling only grows, especially with the twinkle that was currently in the pinkett's eyes and the same honeydew smile that Asmo would usually come to his expression whenever he was up to something, or simply acting innocent. Looking back to Lucifer as she hoped to get at least some sense of answers to what was going on right now; he only gave back the same smile, before his hand settled on her shoulder, giving a gentle squeeze which spoke volumes in its silent meaning Trust me before turning his attention to Luna and Asmodeus. 
“ When you’re both done with her, I want you to escort her to Lord Diavolo’s castle, alright Le Fay? “ 
While Asmodeus gave a quiet sigh of disappointment, the pinkette in question gives a nod of her head in conformation. 
“ Of course, you can leave it to us Luci. “ 
As she said this though, the way her green hues locked with Asmo’s for just a moment as if the two were having a silent and brief conversation was not something that went unnoticed, but knowing she was unlikely to get an answer right now, for the moment Bronwen contented herself with keeping quiet, though the brief lapse of his smile in lieu of the exasperated tiredness that came with being addressed by a nickname that he undoubtedly thought of as embarrassing, did make her smile just a little, especially at the fact that had been confirmed that her friend had been calling Lucifer such a nickname without any sort of influence of Simeon. For a moment his gaze stays on Lucifer’s retreating form, when the door closes, still feeling confused she looks back to both Luna and Asmodeus, one who looked as if she could barely contain her excitement and the other who looked nothing short of delighted. 
“ What’s going on? “ 
Unable to hold back the desire to speak the question, the confusion finally got the most of her, only for the two to simply look back at her for a long moment before looking at each other again before closing their eyes and quietly laughing for a brief moment, as if in anticipation.

The dozens of questions that she had had were soon answered as after being told to go get changed into the dress that she was going to wear, she’d sat in front of the mirror while Luna went to work on her hair, gently bringing the hairbrush and comb through her hair before stepping aside and allowing Asmo to get started on her makeup. Having been told to keep her eyes close while Luna and Asmo did what they were, Bronwen was both nervous and curious to see the end result. The feeling of a hand gently settling on her shoulder causes her to flinch from surprise but that surprise is quickly pushed aside as the voice of Luna comes to her ears. 
“ You can open your eyes now. “ 
Opening her eyes, they quickly widened at seeing her appearance in the mirror, her hair was now worn out and brushed to the point where not a single bit of her hair was out of place, while her makeup was flawless. Looking at herself in the mirror, with the dress, her hair, and her makeup being done as it had, she looked like a celebrity...Which had been the exact look that she had been going for when she had picked out the dress. The view before he made her heart swell for a moment but she willed herself not to cry, with how hard both of them had worked on her hair and makeup the last thing that she wanted to do was ruin it, even if the realization that was slowly coming to her at that thought made her heart swell with gratitude and joy that could not be put into words. 
“ So what do you think? I didn’t really do much with your hair because it’s pretty enough without doing anything special to it, that and it goes with the dress, but the makeup Asmo used on you makes it all come together perfectly. “ 
“ Right? I knew you and I were on the same page Luna. Our dear Browny looks beautiful, not as beautiful as me though, but still beautiful. “ 
Even with Asmo’s usual narcissism showing itself once again, the smile didn’t fade from Bronwen’s expression even for a moment, her heart was swelling with some much happiness that the smile was near infectious. 
“ Thank you both. “ 
The words that come from her seem to put a stop to the conversation currently going between Asmo and Luna, who was trying to get Asmo to agree to comply that she did look as beautiful as he was, with the mention of agreeing to a pampering session the following night; something that only made her heart flutter in her chest, as a heat, one that she had also noticed on Luna’s cheeks, came to her own with the compliment given by her friend; both eyes, amber, and lime green go to her before both of them smile again. 
“ You don’t need to thank us, we were happy to do it, Lucifer has a special night planned for you after all.~ “ 
“ Mhm, Asmo’s right, but you're going to have to find out for yourself what it is. “ 
“ I wish I could go to the Devil King's castle too though..It sounds like so much fun. “
“ You’ll probably get another chance to go there soon, tonight is about Bronwen and speaking of which, “ the seriousness that had come to Luna’s voice along with reason changes to a noticeable amount of excitement for what could only be described as excitement for her and as a smile once more comes to the witches lips, she gently takes her hand and helps her up, making sure that she didn’t trip in the shoes that she was currently wearing 
“ Are you ready to go? Luci asked me to take you to the castle after your hair and makeup were done after all. “ 
giving a nod of her head, the smile still on her lips, with one last thank you to Asmo, she allows Luna to escort her from the room and to the front gate, where a limo appeared to be awaiting them, after getting inside of the car she is shortly joined by Luna after she closes the door for the limo and once they arrive at the castle, the door is opened by one of the servants of the castle. Carefully getting out of the car with the help of the said individual the door is closed and with a wave from Luna the limo drives off. Not having Luna or someone else with her while she stared down the huge castle was daunting despite how she had gotten used to being at the said castle long before tonight, and it definitely did not help the nervousness that came to her at still not knowing entirely what was going on, but knowing that there was nothing more she could do, she follows the servant as he leads her inside before meeting with Barbatos who greeted her with the usual polite smile he would usually wear. Now with someone familiar with her, Bronwen’s nervousness dissipated even just a little as he led her to where she had been told the ballroom was within the castle. As the butler opens the door, he ushers her inside, before closing the door behind her and as she turns around, her eyes widen as her heart stops in her chest from the stunned awe that washes over her. To the lavish decorations, the music that was playing- no doubt a pick from Lucifer himself, each and every addition only complimenting the already lavish and beautiful ballroom, her stunned reprieve is interrupted by the familiar deep voice. 
“ I take it, you’re enjoying the decorations then? “ 
Taking the look on her face as an answer enough, Lucifers smile is content, but the view in front of her was something that took her breath away all over again, she’d seen his demon form once before, but that didn’t change that he only seemed to grow more beautiful when he took that form.
“ Good, I’m glad, “ the same softness that she had seen in his eyes earlier returned to his scarlet hues but before she could respond with but one of the things among the many words that were all on the tip of her tongue, the thoughts turn silent almost instantly as her hand is gently taken by his own, the action being tender in its soft gentleness, and it was one that was only matched by the look in his eyes as she looked back with flustered shocked two emotions that only grew as her hand was raised to his lips to place a gentle kiss onto her knuckles. As his crimson hues looked back to her eyes and caught sight of the expression of her face, the fond amusement was evident only for it to change back to the earlier softness one that was joined by a knowing glint at seeing the number of questions that she had. 
“ You told me before that your prom had been canceled due to the outbreak in the human world. Seeing you so saddened was not something that I could ignore...I would go so far as to say that it angered me that you had suffered through that disappointment because of it. I apologize for being so busy these last few nights, but it was only because I wanted to make this an occasion that you would enjoy and so I had Lord Diavolo, my brothers and Le Fay help with the organizing to ensure that. “ 
Unable to speak, the joy, the gratitude and the happiness that she felt right now was so overpowering that her breath was taken away, not simply at the knowledge that Lucifer had gone out of his way to organize this with the help of the other six but Luna as well was enough, but knowing that Lucifer had done so because he had been worried about her- even if he did not say so out loud- the admission was there in his eyes. Narrowing her eyes in confusion when Lucifer narrows his eyes own in concern, his free hand that was not gently holding her hand reaches out to her cheek before his fingers gently brush away the tears. Parting his lips to speak, the question that was surely coming is interrupted
“ Thank you. Really...Thank you so much. I don’t know what to say. “ 
Smiling through her tears of joy, the concern that had come to Lucifer’s expression changes into a soft smile of understanding as he brings her closer; his fingers gently running through her long brown hair as his right arm holds her warm body close to his own. 
“ You don’t need to thank me, love. Your smile is more than enough for me. “ his hand that had been running through her hair takes a gentle hold of her left cheek before gently lifting her chin to look at him once again “ Now then, given as this is a dance, would you give me the honor? “
