If MC was called to serve in a human war while staying in the devildom.

Gender neutral character.

Trigger warnings: Mentions of war, death, swearing.

This is in no way trying to romanticize war and/or war injuries. There will be a part two where MC returns home to the devildom and the same applies to that part.

I have been imagining scenarios like this for weeks leading up to now because or Remembrance Day, so I figured I might as well write it.

(Imagine below the cut)

The letter given to you by Barbatos made you flinch. You had never seen one in person, and the demon’s concerned face didn’t help. When he asks what it’s about, you don’t answer, only staring down at the unopened letter in fear.

You stayed at Purgatory hall that night, the brothers just assuming that you were studying with Solomon, when in reality, you needed some form of human comfort. Solomon was supportive, knowing that you wouldn’t dare refuse to go, and helped you tell the angels.

Luke was aghast. He hated the idea of you possibly dying in some stupid war and protested when you said you would be leaving tomorrow. Simeon was more mature about the subject, offering to watch over you and answer your prayers for him when you needed it.

With Solomon and the angels’ support, you told Diavolo and Barbatos the next morning. Diavolo immediately offered to make an excuse for you not to go, but your pride kept you from accepting his offer. Barbatos promised to watch your futures and steer you away from bad endings. You all decided not to tell the brothers until after you had left, knowing that they wouldn’t be as calm with the decision, and Barbatos helped you pack.

An hour before you left, you were helping Diavolo pick a new student from the human world, and you settled on a familiar face. Your old bully from high school. You knew that although she was cruel, she would complete the semester flawlessly, so despite the surprised glance from the demons, you picked her.

Solomon was called to hide your pact marks from humans and demons alike, and you felt a wave of loneliness as you felt the sense of security from the marks fade away. This way, your demons wouldn’t know where you were, or if you got hurt.

You made three new pacts with big Ds, two of wrath, and one pride. With everything finished, and the portal created, you hugged the angels goodbye, gave Solomon a kiss on the cheek for his help, and bowed to both Diavolo and Barbatos.

The prince broke the rules for the first time in a long time, and bowed back, before engulfing you in a warm hug with a few whispered words of luck.

After being given a few charms and a healing potion by Solomon, you and your three new pacted demons headed through the portal.

 When the bothers found out, they were furious. Mammon and Levi took it the hardest, while Satan was terrified for what could happen to you. Lucifer spent days locked in his room, pouring over his work, and not bothering to get mad at Mammon when he messed something up. Beelzebub was a mess. Some days he would go without eating entirely, and others he would consume more than usual. Belphegor started having trouble sleeping when the reality of the situation sunk in.

When the new student arrived only a week later, they made little effort trying to be nice to her. Beel was tasked with being her first guardian, as Mammon was in no state to guard anyone, but even he struggled to get used to not having you by his side. When the new student complained about how they acted and brought up you, they had to hold back Mammon from flying into a rage at the way she spoke your name.

She was nothing like you. Her touch was nothing like yours and her words were empty of any affection whenever she spoke to them. Eventually, Barbatos had to intervene because he feared that the way they were acting would leave a bad impact on the new students’ written report at the end of the year.

Then the first letter came.

When Barbatos first saw the letter addressed to the boys, and realized who must have sent it, he couldn’t help but feel relieved. After telling Diavolo of the good news, he brought the letter to Lucifer, who read the letter to his brothers after dinner when the new student had left to go back to her room.

There were tears and shaky smiles as Lucifer read out loud, and the brothers started looking forwards to mail day. Some of them went so far as to mark off the days the letters would come on their calendars and they would visibly get more excited when the day rolled around.

Five months in, with ten letters having been sent, they were starting to get used to the new way of communication.

But then the letters stopped.

When they had Simeon check in on you, he assured them that you were alright, so they waited. And waited. And waited.

Three months went by without a single letter, and the boys were getting antsy. It didn’t help that Simeon and Solomon started disappearing for long periods of time at seemingly random hours, and the brothers could only assume something had happened.
