Tumblr media
The Meowstic seemed to stare in confusion momentarily as he attempted to process all of the information Lief was saying. When he finally did, one thing stood out from the rest.
Tumblr media
"Um. I'm... not sure what you mean by that. I don't understand how spice tolerance is related… Is this some kind of new-age informal language?" Sirius seemed extremely confused at this.
Tumblr media
"I really don't get out that much, Is 'spicy' a common slang term Pokemon use now? ...Maybe I need to catch up with the outside world more..." It appears being stuck in his office constantly was starting to take a toll on his knowledge of current trends.
Tumblr media
"But to answer your questions... You're actually the, um. Third or fourth intruder? I've lost count already, it's all quite stressful I just got back from a job a few hours ago." He sighed before, thinking over Lief's other questions, they were good but a little hard to explain in one go.
"I'm sorry but I think you might be mistaken, we do not fabricate the U-gates. We can make parts to repair them, yes. But it's virtually impossible to make a deity U-gate. Every time a U-gate attempt has been made by us mortals, they're limited to in-universe travel only. The U-gates I specialize in fixing are made from god magic, they're a type of Hoopa ring. Mortal-made U-gates are under an entirely different subject." "Asking me to explain those is like trying to ask someone who raises Magikarp to tell you how to take care of a Feebas. They're both fish but they have completely different needs."
Tumblr media
"Shutting down a gate is... a complicated subject. I could go into the process of how a gate is 'closed off' but I fear we may be here for a while if I do. I will try my best to sum it up, however." "If we're discontinuing the use of a U-gate we're required to assess why, report back to Earendel and if we're able to, contact the Keeper to discuss the matter further. A common reason U-gates are discontinued is because they're located in either feral universes, extremely dangerous ones or the U-gate is just completely broken." "At that point, it's a matter of removing the core safely, dismantling it and bringing it to Lunala for disposal. After that, we ban or remove the universe from our star maps."
Tumblr media
"And yes, we can control the gates. That is what the Keepers are for, they help everyday travellers operate the U-gates and be sent on their merry way to whatever universe they'd like." "We keep star maps updated so Keepers can do their jobs. I hope that satisfied your curiosity!" He gave a smile before nodding. "If you have any more questions I'm happy to get into it further."

“Brendon!! It’s really you!” An excitable voice called out from the other side of the phone.
“Oh my gosh, Dion, is that you?!” Brendon chuckled and smiled excitedly.
“Yes! Guys! This is Brendon’s new number! Come on and get in on this!” Dion said, chuckling.
“Brendon!! Where the hell have you been?!” A stern voice came through the phone. “We were worried about you! You had Mom worried most of all!”
“Hehe, sorry Patrick… I broke my phone when I first came on, I got a new one but I couldn’t get any of the phone numbers I lost…” Brendon said, chuckling uneasily.
“Well, you bet your butt I’m gonna give you a hard time when we see you, that’s right Davey told us that he made you promise.” Patrick said as a matter of factly. “And don’t go breaking your promise.”
“I won’t… I always follow through with my word.” Brendon said, reassuring him.
“Move over ya big lug! Brendon~! It’s Ivan! It’s so good to hear from you again! We all miss you and we can’t wait to see you in Kyoto!” Another happy voice butted into the call.
“Hehe, Ivan, it’s good to hear your voice again! We have to catch up later!” Brendon went back to washing dishes, a bit quieter so he could listen to his brothers.
“Definitely! Actually, Mom and Davey dropped hints that you might be bringing people with you to Kyoto? Something about… ‘roommates’?” Ivan said, his smirking could be heard in his voice.
“Ivan, you’re gonna meet them when they get to Kyoto, I’m not spoiling anything.” Brendon smirked.
“Why?! Why can’t you tell me about your roommates? At least tell me if they’re single! Do they have brothers?” Ivan groaned. “Come on, you’re not usually one to withhold secrets!”
“That’s because it’s my secret and my surprise,'' Brendon laughed, “No Spoilers~!”
“Ugh, Brendon you are such a brat! Fine… oh! And someone wants to say hi to you!” Ivan handed the phone to the next person.
“Brendon? Is it really you?”
Brendon sounded like he was about to burst into tears when he heard that voice. “Will… oh my gosh… I’ve missed you so much… how are you?”
“Well, for starters, I’ve been missing you, and I didn’t know what happened to you. But other than that, I’ve been writing, doing alright for myself.” Will said.
“Will… I’m sorry for not contacting you sooner… I…” Brendon’s voice trembled.
“H-Hey, Brendon, I was just giving you a hard time, don’t cry… gosh, I keep forgetting you’re emotional… now I feel bad…” Will sighed.
“Don’t make Brendon cry!” Patrick called out, “apologize to him!”
“It was an accident! And stop shouting, you’ll wake up Mom and Shawn!” Will hissed.
“Oh? Shawn’s not awake? That’s odd, he’s usually up and about at night.” Brendon inquired, still a bit teary.
“No, he’s trying to adjust his sleeping schedule to match Kyoto’s day and nighttime hours. He went to sleep around 4pm.” Will said, “Sorry for making you cry.”
“No nononono… these are good tears… I’ve missed you all something fierce…” Brendon sniffled and chuckled.
“We all miss you too Bren, Shawn has been desperately trying to find a trace of an update from you on all your social media.” Ivan said, listening into the conversation next to Will.
“Yeah, my phone got smashed when I arrived, the headmaster gave me a new phone when I arrived at the school.”
“What’s the school’s name again?” Will asked, “Cause I heard about exchange students making their home at your college, they didn’t really say anything about who the 4 students were…”
“Uhh… The Royal Academy.” Brendon said, a drop of insecurity suddenly hitting him.
“The Royal Academy?” Will asked, Brendon could hear Will’s eyebrow raise.
“The Royal Academy of Arts?! I knew you were in Europe!” Ivan said excitedly.
“N-No, just the Royal Academy… it’s… down under!” Brendon was panicking, but not technically lying.
“So your roommates are Australian?!” Ivan exclaimed and then began to parade through the room. “I’m gonna meet some Aussie hunks, I’m gonna meet some Aussie hunks~!” Ivan chanted, dancing excitedly. “I am so jealous!!”
“I mean… they aren’t really Australian… it’s very complicated… and kind of disturbing…” Brendon was sweating, he just wanted to scream in the sudsy water that accumulated in the sink... Oh no, the sink!! “Ahh! It’s overflowing!” Brendon screamed.
“Brendon? Are you okay in here?” A voice asked, walking into the kitchen.
“A-Asmo?!” Brendon said, turning the faucet off, but slipping on the wet floor.
“Brendon?! Are you okay?!” Will asked frantically, on speaker.
“Bren!! You better be in one piece when you get here, cause I won’t forgive you for hurting yourself!” Patrick growled.
“Oh my gosh… that voice didn’t sound Australian… is that one of your roommates? Yoo-hoo~! Hi roommate!!” Ivan called out.
“Guys, you’re hogging my phone! Brendon, it seems you got your hands full, so we’ll let you go, we’ll see you in Kyoto! Good night!” Dion took over once more.
“Dion! We need these questions answered!” Ivan exasperated.
“No you don’t!” Dion grunted, hanging up.
Brendon was lying face up on the kitchen floor, sighing in many emotions. He sighed in relief because the brotherly interrogation was over, in frustration because he didn’t tell them the truth, in pain because of the slipping, and in embarrassment because he slipped in front of Asmo.
“Brendon! Oh my gosh, honey, are you okay?” Asmo asked, helping Brendon up from the floor.
“Yeah… nothing but a bruised ego, and wet pants…” Brendon said, snorted in humility.
“I’m glad you’re okay… who were you talking to? Oh my gosh, were they your brothers?!” Asmo reassured, then asked excitedly.
“Ehehe… yeah, those were my older brothers and my younger brother.” Brendon rubbed the back of his head, and then Asmo started laughing, “W-What?”
“Hahaha! I’m sorry, it’s just… you look so cute when you’re embarrassed!” Asmo said with a smile.
Brendon blushed and looked down, before getting his phone back, putting it in his pocket. It was a miracle it didn’t fall into the sink. “U-Ummm… how much did you hear?”
“Well… I know that you didn’t really tell them the truth about us.” Asmo crossed his arms sadly. “But, I get it. Some families might not know how to take us being demons and all… but, your family seems pretty cool. I know they also love you.”
Brendon looked down and frowned, he didn’t want to lie to them, but he didn’t know what else to say, who knows how they would react if they found out the reason they didn’t see him for a whole year was because he was basically stuck in hell? Not quite hell, but it still complicates the explanation. Suddenly he got a ping from his phone, he took it out and he froze, it was a few texts from Will.
“Hey, it’s Thoth, you’re a terrible liar, and I expect you to tell us everything the next time I see you.” The text read. “I hope you sleep well.”
Asmo read the text over Brendon’s shoulder and blinks. “Oh my… it seems that someone’s not as dense either…” he said.
“Will has always been a perceptive person… he can tell when I’m lying… but, I just couldn’t tell them over the phone… it would have made them worry more about me…” Brendon sighed. “I didn’t want them to worry more, they’ve been worrying enough.”
Asmo gave a small smile and pat Brendon’s back. “I don’t think it’s fair to lie to your brothers either… and for the record, we are far from being Australians.”
Brendon and Asmo both started to laugh as they began to wipe the water up off the floor. Asmo began drying the dishes as Brendon continued to wash the remaining ones. Afterward, Asmo took Brendon up to his room and began to help Brendon combat the dryness of his hands after the dishwashing. Brendon really did love and appreciate how helpful, and charming Asmo was. He was a social butterfly, loved to entertain, and thoughtful. Although he was a bit extra, a bit of a flirt, semi-competitive, and soaked in vanity every night before bed, he was the friendliest and most approachable of the brothers.
“Thank you for cheering me up, Asmo… and you’re right… I need to tell my family about you all when we get to Kyoto.” Brendon said.
“I agree. I just think it isn’t fair to your brothers. Especially if we might eventually become brothers-in-law~.” Asmo winked playfully.
Brendon didn’t say anything to that, instead he leaned in and began tickling Asmo’s sides, just what Asmo hoped for.
“AH! Nuuuhuhuhu~! It was only the truth! Hahaha!” Asmo wiggles around, trying not to pull away but instinct betrayed him.
Brendon chuckles as he had stopped tickling, and shook his head with a smirk before hugging him close. “Seriously though, Asmo… thank you for setting me right.” He said, kissing Asmo on the cheek.
Asmo smiles and tried to kiss Brendon’s cheek back. “Hehe~! Anytime. And as much as I would love to have you play with me all night, I got some plans for tonight. And you need to continue packing. After all, 2 months is a long vacation~!”
“O-Oh, that’s right! There’s still some things I need to pack… I’ll see you tomorrow, Asmo!” Brendon said, getting up from sitting on Asmo’s bed and leaving out of his room.
“See you sweetie~!” Asmo said, then reached into his bag and pulled out a packet. “Ugh… the things I go through for him… well, I think he’s worth it.”
Brendon was walking back down toward his room when he heard music coming from the library. He walked over to the library and saw one of the bookcases were open, revealing the stairs down into Lucifer’s study. Brendon sighed contentedly as he let himself walk down to the study and saw Lucifer sitting at his desk, doing some paperwork. He only got down halfway, when he heard papers calmly shifting.
“Brendon, what a pleasant surprise. What brings you down to my study at this hour?” Lucifer asked all suave.
“I was heading back to my room, and I heard music. You know if you don’t want me to come down here, it would do you well to close the bookcase.” Brendon chuckles.
“Who said that I didn’t want you down here?” Lucifer leaned in, interlocking his hands together, “Tell me, cause I will not have anyone put words into my mouth.”
“Hehe, I only assumed, but I guess I assumed wrong.” Brendon shrugged and sat in front of Lucifer’s desk.
“Well, I suppose when you first arrived here, I wouldn’t have wanted you to be snooping down here, but now it’s different.” Lucifer said, putting his pen back in the inkwell. “Have you made your decision on who to pick for the trip to Kyoto?”
“Umm… no… I haven’t… it’s pretty difficult to choose…” he said, biting his lip. “Everyone has cons and pros about going… and it’s challenging to weigh in on everyone , cause this will be 2 months in the human world…”
“I personally would not have a difficult decision. I would either pick Satan or Asmo, because they are the ones who usually don’t cause too much trouble.” Lucifer said, “Mammon and Levi wouldn’t be a good combo at all, Beel in the human world would be catastrophic, Belphie, you can never really know about him…”
“Well, I see all the good and bad they contribute to daily life. And I think they would behave as much as they can if I can stay frosty.” Brendon clenched his fists in determination.
“Beel and Mammon would drain your wallet very quickly.” Lucifer pointed out, “if not yours, then one of your family member’s.”
Brendon slumped into the chair and sighs. “This is gonna be a disaster, and I already promised my older brother I’d go… I just wish I could bring you all…That way I don’t have to worry about any of you getting into trouble...”
Lucifer blinked and smiled, before getting up and walking over behind Brendon’s chair, and he placed his hand on Brendon’s shoulder. “It’s okay, I’m sure it will work out, Brendon. You have a talent for having everything work out.”
Brendon opened his eyes and looked up at Lucifer, giving a small smile. “Well… I don’t know about that… I guess it all depends on the situation… Diavolo said his decision was final…” he said, but then he stood up gently with Lucifer, and they began to dance to the music that was playing in the study.
Brendon was swept off of his feet and away from his mile-a-minute-mind but Lucifer’s leading waltz. Lucifer had to be the most charming of the brothers, he was thoughtful, considerate, hardworking, and sensual when he wanted to show it. Even though he was a bit of a sadist, authoritative, stubborn, and sometimes had too much pride in himself, he knew how to make Brendon feel like the closest thing to a Prince as he could.
“You really know how to make a guy feel special, Lucifer…” Brendon blushed as Lucifer stepped back, both their arms extending out, and pulled in Brendon, who spun toward him, his kilt catching air lightly in the twirl until their bodies came into contact, and so did their gazes upon each other.
“It’s because you are special to me, Brendon. There aren’t many people in this world who have traded hearts with me.” Lucifer said, putting his hand securely on Brendon’s waist and dipped him back gently. “In fact, you are the only one who managed to.”
Brendon smiled and leaned up to give Lucifer a kiss while hanging on by Lucifer’s grip on his back. Lucifer leaned in as well to the kiss and they held it for a good second or two before a pounding knock at the front door startled the pair, into the upright position.
Brendon and Lucifer looked at each other. “Who could that be during this time of night?” Lucifer asked, eyebrows raised.
Brendon chuckled a bit. “Lucifer… It’s always night in the Devildom.” Brendon let go of Lucifer, “Let’s go see who it is, it might be important.”
“I surely hope so.” Lucifer said, walking with Brendon upstairs to the front door.
“Hehe, unless the Devildom has door-to-door sales-demons, or Cain’s Witnesses, I doubt it would be anything less than important.” Brendon said as Lucifer opened the door.
“That is where you’re correct, Brendon.” A proper voice came from the front porch.
“Barbatos? What are you doing here?” Lucifer asked, narrowing his eyes.
“Pardon the visit at such a late hour, but Lord Diavolo wishes to speak with Brendon,” Barbatos said, bowing his head slightly, arm over his chest, “Privately.”
