Obey Me

The voice from the attic

???: "Y/n."

Y/n: "Ah! I wasn't gonna climb the stairs! I was going to climb the railing. Which, you didn't forbid me from doing!"

???: "Finally no one is going to stop you. Now is your chance to climb the stairs. Come...this way Y/n."

Y/n climbs the stairs.

Y/n: Why is there a door? Is it a crawlspace?

???: "I knew you were the one person who'd be able to find me."

Y/n: That pillow looks soft. "How long have you been in there?"

???: "Good question-wait how old are you?"

Y/n: "10. Everyone else thinks I'm older because I talk and think like an adult."

???: "Huh. Anyway. How long has it been now, I wonder? Well, one thing I can say for sure: I've been in here for a very, very long time."

y/n: "Are you a demon?"

???: "Don't be ridiculous! Just the thought of being one of them is enough to  run a shiver down my spine."

Y/n: He's lying. Why?

???: "I'm a human, just like you. A demon imprisoned me in here long, ago, and I've been stuck here ever since. It was Lucifer. I'm guessing you've met him."

Y/n: "He makes the best pillow forts. He has fluffy pillows and blankets! His bed is super comfy, like sleeping on the clouds. Ooo and he gives the best hugs." 

???: "Well, he's the demon who locked me in here. I'm begging you, Y/n. You've got to get me out of here-"

Y/n: "Can I touch the pillow?"

???: "No."

Y/n: "Then, no."

???: "Fine! You can touch the pillow."

Y/n touches the pillow.

Y/n: "So, soft!"

???: "I'm asking for your help."

Y/n: "No can do."

???: "Are you afraid of demons? Are you thinking that if you help me get out of there, they'll seek revenge on you? Well, no need to worry. As soon as you set me free, I'll send you straight back to the human world. You've got to admit, that's not a bad deal, is it? Now, you can't open this door. Neither of us is capable of that. Because it's sealed with a very powerful sort of magic.  In order to break the seal, you need the consent of Lucifer and his six brothers. But-"

Y/n: "I almost died for that Vinyl to get here for you. I expect a thank you!"

???: "Thanks. But they're not exactly nice folks. It's not like all we have to do is ask politely and they'll lift the seal. You must already know that, right?"

Y/n picks up Malleus.

Y/n: "That's where you went."

???: "But you are a special case. You can make them do it."

Y/n: "Do you want me to ask them?"

???: "No, there's no need for that! Because you have the power to bend demons to your will. What I'm trying to say is that you should make pacts with these demons, all of them. You already have Mammon and Leviathan under your control-"

Y/n: "One practically lives in my room now."

???: "Well, doing the same to the rest of them will be just as simple."

Y/n: "Simple! I had to extort Mammon with Leviathan's help! I almost died to make a pact with Leviathan! I'm not doing that for everyone! How do you know about that?"

???: "That's not important. What matters is that I'm counting on you to come through for me. You're the only one who can help me now. You're my sole ray of hope in this bleak, bleak world. You've got to start gaining their trust. And if you do that, you can't tell them that you came here and spoke with me. Whatever you do, don't mention that. Start with Beelzebub-"

Y/n: "He also practically lives in my room."

???: "What is it with demons and moving into your room?"

Y/n: "It was one movie marathon and now Mammon and Beel practically live in my room. I mean I don't blame them I practically live in Lulu's room."

???: "How are you alive?"

Y/n: "Lulu carries me around everywhere. I like his coat/cape thingy. It's soft."

???: "Whatever. I have faith in you. I know you'll get me out of here. So, then do we have a deal. I'm counting on you, Y/n."

Y/n: "That's a lot to ask a ten-year-old."

Y/n slides down the railing.

Y/n: "Woohoo! All my dreams have come true!"

~The next morning~

Lucifer: "Good morning, Y/n. I have to say, I enjoyed last night immensely. I listened to that record over and over...I can't tell you how many times. And because of that, I'm running on far too little sleep today. But I'm in a great mood."

Y/n: "Sorry."

Lucifer: "Don't be. I'm in a great mood."

Lucifer: "I see you're up late today. I take it you didn't get much sleep either. Did something happen last night to keep you up?"

Y/n: "Actually, yeah..."

Lucifer: "For a child, you're very honest. Let me give you a piece of advice. You should focus on surviving this year, finishing the program, and going back to the human world. That's all you need to concern yourself with. Would you like me to make it a bit clearer for you? 'Curiosity killed the cat.' Surely you've heard this expression? Well, curiosity can very literally get you killed here as well."

Y/n:" It goes, "Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back."

Lucifer: "Hmm. I guess it was a word of warning and not a piece of advice... but why split hairs? Forget all about what happened last night. I allowed you to satisfy your curiosity as a favor to you since you brought me that record. But rest assured, it won't happen again."

Y/n: "Thanks. Up."

Lucifer: "Is that a demand?"

Y/n: "Up! I want attention. Our parents don't like doing anything with us. They don't even touch us, like picking us up, hugging us, things like that. I want to make the most of any physical affirmation of love. So, lots of hugs, cuddles, holding, and playing."

Satan: "Ah, so you and you're siblings are as humans call it touch starved."

Y/n: "We need four hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth!"

Satan: "That's a lot of hugs."
