🍒Second Pov

"Hey, human!" The cheerful Mammon bursts into your room. "What's up, Mammon?" You say as you continue to read a horror novel. "Okay, so you know how Satan made me read a book because I sold off one of his stupid spellbooks?" He shuts the door and takes a seat next to you. "That was oddly specific...but what about it?" You sit up and close your book. "Well, it was a book from the human world! I thought it was pretty boring at first, but the ending caught me by surprise. Like come on, why couldn't he wait a little bit more?!" He sighed loudly. "Mammon, I have no idea what book you're talking about. Please explain." You said. "It's Romeo and Juliet, I think by some crazy poet dude. Have you read it before?" He looks at you with gleaming eyes. "Of course I did, it was interesting..." You stand up and walk to your cabinet, pulling out a script. "I even went to a play. I gotta say, it was way better than the book." You toss him the script. "I bet you'll like the play too." You smile and sit back down. Mammon flips through the pages and shows a face of disgust. "Like hell I'm gonna read all that!" He hands you the script. Then, a knock could be heard. "Come in!" You say as you lay down on your bed. The door opens, revealing Satan. "I overheard you two talking about Romeo and Juliet. I must say, it is quite the masterpiece. Shakespeare knew what he was doing." He walks up to you and takes the script. "I'd love to see the play, but unfortunately I don't think they have any shows open at the moment..." Satan frowns but then quickly smiles. He looks at both you and Mammon. "Wait...no! Satan stop! There's no way I'm gonna do that!" Mammon suddenly yells. "Do what exactly?" You look at Mammon confused.

You sigh as you stand on stage wearing a red outfit. "This is not what I had in mind for a relaxing weekend." You glare at Satan intensely. He responds by smiling at you. "I've asked Levi and Asmo to make you two some costumes. I have also read over th- Mammon, stop hiding behind Y/N." Satan looks down in frustration. "Why are you making us act it out?! I didn't ask for this!! I could care less." Mammon protests but quickly quiets down when he sees Satan's face. "And to think Mammon's the older brother." You start laughing, making Mammon blush. "Hey, quit it!" Mammon whines. "Anyways, please try memorizing your script. This is the best next thing to watching the actual play, so don't mess it up." Mammon sighs loudly. "Alright fine, but ya gotta hand over some grimm once everything's over." He laughs, thinking he's scored the jackpot. "Let's make a profit out of it! I bet a whole bunch of demons would want to see me and Y/N be together!" He stops for a moment, then blushes intensely, realizing what he said. "A-ah...forget I said that, okay Y/N?!" He turns away, making you giggle a little. "For once, I agree with him. Having an audience will make things quite interesting. I wonder if you could pull it off though. It'd be a shame if you humiliate yourself in front of a crowd of demons." He lets out a smile. "Well, get to it. I'll go ask the others if they could fill in the remaining cast. Don't even think of slacking off, Mammon." And with that, Satan leaves.

You and Mammon sit on the floor of the stage. "I guess we should read over our lines first." You try reading the lines, but you are quickly distracted by Mammon's costume. You've never seen him in such clothes. He usually wears modern and trendy, but it was completely different. He was so quiet that you couldn't help but stare at him. It led to you thinking about him as a person. What did he think of you? Did he see you as a friend or more? Are you special to him or an item for him to use? You had so many questions, but no answers. It frustrated you. You went back to reading your lines, trying not to let your thoughts bother you. Both of you sat there in silence for a few hours. "Hey, do you think we'll do great?" Mammon asks you, still looking down at his script. "Depends on how much effort we give it. But if I'm being honest, I'm not too confident about it. I have no experience as an actor, so I wouldn't even know where to start." You frown but quickly erase it to keep Mammon from worrying. "I saw that, Y/N." You look up and see Mammon is staring at you seriously. It almost spooked you. "You're amazing at almost everything so there's no doubt you'll do great. You need to be more confident in yourself or it'll get to you. There's no need to be doubting yourself, sometimes you just gotta take a leap of faith and hope everything turns out alright." He stops for a moment then speaks again. "I didn't mean to startle you. Heh...sorry. I was just getting worried. But please take these words to heart because I truly mean it." He takes your hand and smiles. If only he knew what was really bothering you. You stare at him blankly then tears start falling down your face. "I...Mammon. You didn't have to say all that...!" You sob uncontrollably, unable to see anything ahead of you. You try wiping away your tears, but they kept on falling. Mammon pulls you in for a hug, almost tearing up too. "Listen, I..." He pauses for a moment, then stops completely. "Never mind. It's not important." He smiles and continues to hug you tight.

"How are you two holding up?" Satan walks into your room. "We've memorized our lines but Mammon can't put feeling into them..." You glare at Mammon. "It's not my fault they used complicated words! Like how am I supposed to talk normally if they're throwing weird words at me?!" He pouts and turns away from you. "Geez Mammon, you're acting like a child. Just listen to Y/N, they're giving out advice and you're not using it." Satan sighs then leaves the room. "Gah, I hate Satan. Why does he always act like a smart ass, he's like an off-brand version of Lucifer. Isn't it funny how he became the one thing he hated? Like dude, go get an original personality!" He starts laughing at his jokes. "Mammon! We gotta get this right before the play. And don't forget you have to learn how to sword fight for the scene with Belphie. We still have a whole bunch of things to do!" You smack his head, making him focus. It takes a week for you and Mammon to get everything right. And so, the play draws near.

You stood in the wings of the stage, looking out at the sea of demons waiting. You looked back at the brothers in concern as Mammon was nowhere to be found. "Geez, Mammon gets to be the star for once and he's gone!" Asmo sighs in disappointment. "Don't worry Y/N, Mammon will show up. But if he doesn't, I won't forgive him." Satan pats your shoulder and smiles. Suddenly the buzzer goes off and the play begins. Still no Mammon. You walk onto stage as your scene comes up. You manage to say your lines, showing no worry. You begin to panic. You try to improvise and start talking to the salespeople outside, hoping Mammon arrives in time. You get nervous by the second. Suddenly, a loud voice can be heard. "Juliet, what are you doing out here all alone?!" Asmo runs up to you and begins to improvise. "You know there's been a rise of criminals around here. It's not safe to be alone!" He links arms with you and walks towards the castle. A wave of relief washes over you. You sigh quietly and keep on talking to Asmo on stage. With help of Lucifer, the stage crew makes a change and adds another day to interact with Romeo. You stand in the same area as before and begin to walk around town. Mammon arrives and you begin to smile. Your scene with Mammon comes up and you finally talk to him. "How gorgeous you look, Juliet..." He takes your hand and takes you to a garden. You two talk for the rest of the evening. The rest of the play goes smoothly.

Finally, the play ends. You run backstage and congratulate everyone on their hard work. You hydrated and leave to change clothes. On your way, you see Mammon talking to a mysterious lady. You hide behind a corner to listen to their conversation. "Listen, now's not the time to ask for that crap! I told you I don't have the grimm!" Mammon explains to the lady. "Mammon, it's been 150 years since you've paid me. I cannot wait any longer. It's time to pay up. Or would you rather I take something of equal value?" She smiles and her footsteps get closer to you. You look around the corner and see that the lady is right in front of you. "Fine then Mammon. If you won't pay the price then I'll take them..." Her grin grows and she grabs your wrist. "Huh?! Y/N?! There's no way you're taking my human!" He runs towards her in his demon form. He bites her wrist and she drops you. "W-what the...?" You fell on the floor and look at Mammon. He picks you up bridal style. "Don't ask why I bit her." He begins running towards the others. Your face starts burning up, realizing how hot he looked in his demon form. "Holy crap guys! You'll never guess what just happened!!" Mammon let go of you and ran up to Lucifer. "That stupid witch was asking me for grimm and she found Y/N and wanted to take them if I didn't pay them back!!" He pulled on Lucifer's clothing. Lucifer was unhappy. "The witch wouldn't be here if you just paid her back..." He sighs. You sat there paralyzed. "Y/N are you okay? You can have some of my chicken nuggets." Beel sat next to you and handed you a box of nuggets. "Thanks, Beel." You took a bite, almost tearing up. You couldn't believe that happened. The thought of being kidnapped scared you. And by a witch at worst. "Oh the poor human is scared... Look what you did Mammon! This is all your fault!!" Asmo yelled at Mammon. "What?! I saved them!! If I didn't get to them in time, that witch would've eaten them!" He pouts. Then he looks at you and frowns. "Sorry, Y/N. I guess it is my fault for not paying the damn witch." He sat next to you and placed his head on your shoulder.

As soon as you get to the House of Lamentation, you boogie it to your room. Everyone goes to their room and rests. The next day you wake up and see Mammon coming into your room. "Huh? Mammon?" You rub your eyes and watch him place a tray of breakfast on your bed. "Good Morning!!" He smiles and sits on the bed. He turns to face you. "So about yesterday, I felt like saying sorry wasn't enough. You probably got traumatized and it was my fault. But maybe it's your fault since you're a sensitive human. Haha... Um... Just kidding. I made you pancakes." You giggle at his attempt of being nice. "Thanks, but you gotta stop walking in without knocking. I could be changing and you wouldn't know. You play with his hair as he blushes. "You looked amazing in that outfit." He looks to the side. "Thanks, your Romeo was cute haha!" You giggle. "H-hey don't mess around like that! I know you thought I looked dorky!" He crosses his arms and pouts. "Oh, why were you late to the play? I was getting worried." You take a bite of your breakfast. "I-uh... I was trying to get you something bu-" His voice cracks. "AWE YOUR VOICED CRACKED" You start laughing like crazy, maybe because your humor is broken. "S-shut up and let me finish!! Gah... I was trying to get you something so I could give it to you after the play but..." He started mumbling. "What was that?" You grin. "...I didn't have enough money!!" He blushes like crazy and hides his face out of embarrassment. You laughed even more making him almost cry. "Stop Y/N!! You shouldn't laugh at me!!" He starts tearing up. "Okay but in all seriousness, it was very thoughtful of you. I appreciate it a bunch dude!" You hug him tightly to let him know how much you mean it. "Thanks but I think it's too late, you already laughed at me..." He sighed. "Don't worry about it!! I wasn't making fun of you. I just thought it was cute that you were thinking about me." He smiles.
