Just 'cause I bought a band-aid
Doesn't mean I'm able to clean the scars

"IT'S NOT LIKE I like ya or anything." Mammon huffed and crossed his arms. The boy avoided your gaze as you watched him closely. "What?" he snapped back, realizing that you've been quiet for a long time before bringing his arms down.

He walked closer to you, "Look," he held you by the shoulders, "that still doesn't change the fact that I should be your number one, okay? I will always be your first." he whispered softly. 

His blue eyes shone and glittered, you realized how his were mesmerizing than your dull ones. But somehow, he managed to say your eyes were lovely. He liked everything about you, even the parts you didn't.

"I like you." You breathe making him widened his eyes. He stopped for a second; as if he was trying to think about what had happened.

Upon realization, he grinned at you, "Of course ya would. After all, I am The Mammon!" his smile never faltered as he suddenly pulled you closer, "I'm glad, [name]."

There was this thing where you hear your name rolling off his tongue, it was lovely to hear --- like a melody. And you wouldn't want it to stop.

"I really like ya." He whispered, placing his forehead on your shoulder as his face was on the crook of your neck; his arms snaked its way on your waist and gave it a tug for you to be closer. "Like, a lot. I really like ya a lot. More than that or what you could ever imagine." he clumsily continued which made you chuckle.

This made the demon embarrassed but still, he was so happy to be with you.

[ YOU RECEIVED A GOOD ENDING ]

That run deeper
Than all my old demons
That I keep under still water.

"WHAT'S WRONG?" Lucifer asked you when he had heard about your well-being. 

You were under the sheets as you covered your mouth to cough, "Nothing, just sick." it was supposed to be sarcastic but it came out as meek reply. You didn't bother to fight back since all your energy in your body has already been drained.

Lucifer placed his palm on your forehead and sighed, "I told you to rest for once in a while."

"Says the one who never rests and is always under stress." You shrugged and turned away from him; shivering. You already turned off the AC but the coolness of the air still managed to give you the chills

You felt the side of the mattress lowering, indicating that someone sat on it. 

"What are you doing?" you asked and sneezed again. The flu is pretty much the worse, your body felt pain, your head is dizzy, and top it up with these coughs and sneezes. Moreover, Lucifer has now invited himself to your bed.

"This is the worst," you mumbled to yourself.

Somehow, Lucifer now had his arms around your shoulder. He didn't speak nor make any noise. He nuzzled his nose against the back of your head as he hummed in content.

"Body heat helps when you're cold," he answered, "it looks like the covers aren't doing much good, so I decided to be your personal blanket."

You laughed, "This isn't like you." You teased and turned to face him.

His raven hair covered his eyes, he looked relaxed --- something he barely shows to everyone since he was always the one to catch his brothers when a tragedy happens.

"What is it that you mean?" he questioned to you, still confused although he didn't display it.

You shrugged again, "It's not like you to join me in bed, plus, I'm sick to the core."

The demon rolled his eyes, "Believe it or not, I used to do this to my brothers when they were little."

"You hug them too?" you teased.

"Of course not," he wrapped his arms around you and rested his chin on your head, "you get the exception of hugging me. For now, or forever, if you prefer." there was this slyness in his voice that made your heart skip a beat. You thought if he was joking, but then again, would Lucifer joke about this kind of thing? Maybe. Maybe not.

You could only smile and inch closer, "Sure, why not?"

[ YOU RECEIVED A GOOD ENDING ]

Just 'cause you give me flowers
Doesn't cover up the smell of a dead body
Or raise the dead body
Of a girl who got shut down before

HE WASN'T CALLED Mr. Perfect for nothing. The blonde had the looks, the knowledge, and everything a person wants. He was the one who would write to you notes or give you flowers whenever you meet up with him. 

Although, yes, some people hated you for having the soft spot of the said demon.

It wasn't your fault that he took interest in you, does it? How could you blame or hurt someone just because the person that you like doesn't like you back?

"You were staring at nothing for a while now," Satan peered at you in a worrying matter, "did you not like the flowers I gave you today?"

You shook your head with a smile, "No. It's not that at all..." you trailed off.

"Then what is it?"

"I don't think you should give me presents every day. Just a simple letter or note from you makes my day better. I'm not materialistic, you know?" you grinned at him and held his hand, pulling it close to your lips before kissing it.

"Don't spend money on me, okay? You need to save it even if you have tons of it. It's not worth it to buy me expensive gifts when simple ones make me happier."

Satan looked pleased with your response and pulled you to his chest.

"You're nothing like them. I'm glad I picked you." he gave you a soft kiss on the top of your head and smiled to himself.

"I love you." he whispered to your ear and you felt like the whole swarm of butterflies fluttered in your stomach.

[ YOU RECEIVED A GOOD ENDING ]

Just 'cause you say you love me
Doesn't mean that I'm gonna look you in the eyes
Pretend to be surprised
And say I love you back (love you back)

YOU WERE LAYING on the floor in Levi's room. You played a game on your phone while he was busy with the new gaming console that Lucifer bought him as a reward for getting the highest in an exam.

"Hey," he called out to you making you look up from your gadget. 

"Yeah?"
"Come over here for a sec."

Reluctantly, you sat up from your place and crawled towards him. "What is it---" You yelped in surprise when the demon suddenly pulled you into his lap, a faint blush evident on his cheeks when you caught sight of his face.

Oh. He's too close. Your heart hammered against your chest as if it was in danger.

"Levi, what are you doing?" you managed to ask, staring at his adam's apple that kept moving. Probably out of nervousness. Had he already regretted what he had done?

He lets out a deep and quick breath, "Nothing. I read that this kind of position is comfy and warm and there's no way I'd do this with my brothers, assuming they're heavier than you so you're the best partner to try this and I knew I can count on you so---"

You gave him a kiss on his jaw to silence him down --- Levi tends to never stop when he rambles. It's not like you hated him to hear him ramble, you like his voice and the mess of his words.

"Huh?" he dumbly exclaimed before realizing what happened; making him jot in pure embarrassment. "No way! You can't just do that without telling me. This is illegal!"

You kissed his jaw again.

"Ah! [name]!" He called you out making you cackle in amusement.

The otaku pouted because of this making him pull you by the shoulders and giving you a firm kiss on the lips --- tables turned, you were now the one who's blushing. (Not like Levi was still red on his face)

"Would you rather be my player two forever?" he softly asked when he broke this kiss. You were panting as you stared at his sunset-colored eyes.

How could you say no?

[ YOU RECEIVED A GOOD ENDING ]

You're just a band-aid on my knees
You're just a band-aid recovery

YOU YAWNED while leaning on the couch. You took off the headphones you were using and looked up at the clock then back to the game you were playing. You have just finished Leviathan's route and three of the other brothers.

You were excited for the three more, unfortunately they were still unavailable. 

I'll rip you off when I please.

It was natural for you to hop in one route to another; this wasn't the first time you played a game like this. You loved it.

You thought that this was the only way for you to be loved, even if it was fictional.
