Progression, Chapter 22 Sneak Peek:

Between the two of them, Kim tends to sleep later than Chay. His body is hard-wired to stay up late, and on top of that, he tends to sleep lightly. The latter is something that has changed a little in the last two months. Sleeping with Chay is just better. Even when they had slept on the couch in Chay’s house - prior to everything falling apart - he slept better than he usually had. Now that they're together and Kim isn't waiting for Chay to find out everything and leave, he almost always sleeps through the night.

So that's the only explanation for not hearing his phone ping the next morning. He sleeps right through it until Chay is gently shaking him awake.

“We missed a few texts. I have been talking with Macau for a bit, but you should catch up and read them.”

Kim lets his eyes open as he sits up and grabs his phone from the nightstand. Even as he opens the texts from Macau and Porsche to read them, he can't quite comprehend what it means.

Macau: Hey, why is my brother talking to Kinn on the phone?

Macau: I'm not hiding in some safe house to wait out another attack. The cell service was so shitty and the WiFi was non-existent. I was kept out of the loop until Porsche and Khun came to get me. Pissed me the fuck off at the time, but I went with them because I needed out of there, even if it meant death.

Macau: That sounds like I didn't care about my brother. I did. They downplayed his condition until we got to the hospital. I didn't care about the shitty service after that, but it was horrible while it was a main priority and I didn’t know any better.

Macau: He's now off the phone, barely talking, and cuddling with Paris, Valencia, and Pittsburgh.

Chay: Who are Valencia and Pittsburgh?

Macau: Hia’s and P’Pete’s cats, duh. 🙄 Took you long enough to answer.

Chay: Who names a cat Pittsburgh? Who names anything Pittsburgh?

Macau: When Hia and P’Pete got them, they agreed to each name one. Hia named the girl Valencia because it is a city that has the same starting English letter as his name. So P’Pete picked Pittsburgh for the boy because it matched the starting letter of his own name. They also got stuck there during a layover last year due to a huge snowstorm and it was the first time P’Pete ever experienced snow. I guess they even extended their time there a couple of days to enjoy it. Pittsburgh now has a special place in P'Pete's and Hia's heart. Anyway, the cat is white. Pittsburgh.

Chay: I guess that makes sense? Also, why did you never say anything about being an uncle now? Kim and I would have sent you a present or something. Hia showed me a picture of Paris. She's really cute.

Macau: I’ve been an uncle. Valencia and Pittsburgh have been here for a while now and are a lot quieter. Paris doesn't scratch at the furniture though, so that's nice. I think that's why she's Hia’s new favorite.

Chay: That's definitely it. Let me know if anything else happens.

Macau: wtf he and Kinn are on the phone again. What is going on???

Kim: 🤷🏻

As soon as Kim sends that emoji to Macau since he doesn't actually know, he moves over to the text group Porsche started with the two of them.

Porsche: Kinn and Vegas talked on the phone for over an hour last night. I guess it went well. Kinn was emotional when I got back to the suite, but he said it went better than he expected it to go.

Porsche: And they're on the phone again. Idk who called who.

Porsche: They're fighting over some game they played when they were kids and are choosing to be pissed off about that over literally anything else?

Porsche: Vegas hung up on him 😕

Porsche: Nevermind, he answered when Kinn called him back.

Porsche: I don't know what is going on. Kinn is laughing about something. It's exhausting to keep up with. I am about to go hang out with Arm and Khun because they cause me less stress.

Chay: You can't. This is more important and interesting.

Porsche: Important, maybe. It isn't interesting when I can only hear one side of the conversation. You know two people who are interesting? Arm and Khun.

Porsche: Also? Took you long enough to answer.

Kim: 🤷🏻

“Is that all you have to contribute to both conversations?” Chay asks as Kim cuddles back into him, “You just found out your brother is on his second phone call with Vegas and that's the only thing you can say?”

“It's their third conversation,” Kim mumbles, wrapping himself around Chay, “Vegas hung up on him the second time. See? I care. I paid attention to what I read.”

“Kim,” Chay says, “This could be huge for your family. You may have some sort of reconciliation and be friends with your cousins again after years of animosity.”

“I’m not going to get my hopes up, but that sounds nice.” Kim says, but it is apparently not enough.

“Kim. Call your brother. See how he's doing.”

Kim glances up at Chay, “It sounds like he is probably on the phone.”

Chay points at Kim's phone and keeps staring at him, “Try. If he doesn't pick up, ask him to get a hold of you later.”

“Or I can just call him later,” Kim counters, “Or talk to him when I get home.”

Chay lets out a huff, “I'm nosy, P’Kim! I want to know what's going on now! I'm invested, just like Hia is invested in us, as well as Arm and Khun-”

“Pretty sure ArmKhun is his top ship now,” Kim says with a shrug, “And there is no romance between Kinn and Vegas, so it isn't really comparable-”

“Maybe I get more invested in toxic family dynamics than I am in romantic couples!” Chay says, then literally rolls over Kim to grab the phone before handing it to him, “Call him. Now.”

Random question

Other than his looks, what made you fall for Levi?

-♡

first, i can’t give you a detailed recount because i forgor😔in late 2020 i had just escaped a long insanely emotionally abusive co-dependent relationship, i was starting college, escaped my home life, and i heard that aot was FINALLY getting a season 4 so i rewatched it on a whim (i was very much a fan in 2016 but i wasn’t a manga reader, and after wit whimped out on animating after s3, i fell out of interest🤷🏻). idk why levi didn’t catch my attention at that time..

but in a perfect storm of irl variables, i became obsessed❤️honestly levi ackerman made me realize i was on the asexual spectrum. (so levi ackerman was an influence in me breaking up with my casual boyfriend at the time also.) then i went through some Traumatic Stuff and with no exaggeration if it wasn’t for levi i wouldn’t have made this blog or be here today

(so as more of an aside, my sexuality makes me feel like the attraction is even more real in a way?)

but what about HIM made me fall for him??

- well first of all i have a type🤷🏻emotionally unavailable, strong aloof fictional man with a heart of gold

- also he was extremely relatable. i could see so much of myself in him which was particularly nice when i was working through stuff i hadn’t even been aware was trauma before. rly made me feel less alone

- fictional man has unwavering sense of loyalty who knows what it feels like to be chronically abandoned so he would never do that

- independent fictional man that wouldn’t smother me in affection, and doesn’t feel any need or desire to be, idk upfront about it?—because it’s felt and shown in his actions plenty. this was a massive factor for me

- he always has his shit together. i mean he’s in total control of himself at all times and that kind of stability attracted me

- back to being relatable, i have the same outlook about life and feel i have a lot of the same personality traits🙂

- no nonsense. doesn’t mince words or lie to make someone else feel better. not a dominant guy. kind of course, selfless and empathetic but also morally grey with a darkness in him. more humble but not in an insecure way that requires me to be constant emotional support. lacks charisma in a very very very cute way. levi is so shy yk??? while also being a tough badass🤷🏻

- he’s short and small. i didn’t think about this until later but i love it😭😭short guys for me>>>

- if this makes sense, he isn’t sexual? even though he has plenty of sexual appeal (DUH). shows no interest in romantic relationships or sexual encounters while also being the most loyal, doting, and thoughtful partner if he was in a romantic relationship.

- this isn’t canon necessarily (although i remember this being a fan rumor), but he’s more docile and submissive in a relationship. that isn’t to say he can’t be dominant, but he’s mostly the former and that’s a major attraction to me

ok i’m getting into headcanon territory so i’ll stop😅but those are the major things :)

Aaaah, this is late, but thank you so much for posting all of these screenshots! ❤️ Lemme tell you I am FED, especially with Angel Mammon 🥺 If I were MC (I mean, I am supposed to be, but you get me) I would have jumped onto him the moment he started blushing and calling me out for staring, and a second time when he tries to tease us by implying we’re stupid (what does that say about me???!?? Now., we don’t have time to unpack all of that…) I also love how that flashback shows us that Mammon is extremely capable, but how he needs the right environment and the right people to support and guide him in order to unlock his whole potential 🥰

It's no problem at all!

I love how easily they fall back into being friends despite this technically being their first meeting (at least from Mammon's side)

Is it bad that I can never see myself as MC? At most I can see myself as their conscious or whatever, screaming at them like "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU FUCKING DOING YOU FUCKING FUCK STOP PISSING OFF THE THING THAT CAN KILL YOU" 🤷🏻

Mammon gives me major "gifted kid" vibes. You know you were over achieving in school and had a shit ton of expectations piled up on you and you got burnt out and now you decided fuck all that Imma do whatever the fuck I wanna

So yeah I don't think it's 100% the environment that affected his capability? I mean it probably plays a small part but I think most of it is a conscious decision? In the Celestial Realm he used to be exactly like he is in the Devildom until Lucifer somehow got him to start behaving and then he just wanted to be a mini Lucifer rather than being himself? Which isn't exactly healthy. In the Devildom Mammon is Mammon for better or for worse. And we've seen how he can still actually be extremely capable if he wants to. I think it generally boils down to; Mammon, without any outside influence, is just someone who'd rather be lazy and goof around until something really important happens and then he will rise to the occasion. What I do think his current environment affected is his confidence and self-esteem.

Do you like sports? If so, are there any in particular you enjoy? Do you know which ones might be more accepting than others? I've always wanted to play cricket but they're a bit...

ohh this is a complicated one lol.

I've played badminton recreationally since I was a kid, and I don't play it as much now but I've always loved that game. My family used to play in the backyard all the time growing up, so I started learning how to play as soon as I could hold one of the little kiddie rackets lol.

In school/gym class I generally did not like sports (especially as I got older) for a myriad of reasons. There were rare times where I liked doing sports in gym, but for the most part I was not a happy camper lol 🥲 (ah, general gym class trauma)

HOWEVER, now that im actually exercising and taking better care of myself & I know myself better, sports are a little more appealing to me, but I think it's too late for that. 🤷🏻

So anyway I guess the short answer to the rest of your question is that I don't know sports, like, at all. I'm really sorry that I can't help you there! Likewise, I don't know which ones would be more supportive and accepting. I've never played on teams or anything so I am far-removed from all of those communities.

Sorry again for being unable to help,, but I hope that you can get into whatever sports you're interested in and feel accepted and safe. <3
