READER'S POV

"Asmo, you bastard! Quit sungglin' up against (Y/n)! Go away, you moron!" Mammon shouted as he tried to pull Asmo away from me but he clinged onto me for dear life.

"Excuse me? it's none of your business who I snuggle up to or get lovey-dovey with, now is it? And your constant yelling is annoying, to be honest," Asmo spoke with a frown.

"I'll be annoyin' as I have to be...whatever it takes to get you off of (Y/n)! Get away get away get away GET AWAY!"

 "Uh, you never shut up do you? Anyway, why should I listen to you? Who made you boss? Honestly, it doesn't even make sense," Asmo asked with a small frown.

"Cause I was the FIRST one (Y/n) made a pact with. You're the fourth demon-the FOURTH! And that makes me (Y/n)'s first man! So of course you should keep your hands to yourself when I'm around, out of respect!" Mammon spoke with a smirk.

"You do realise that I'm still here," I spoke with a frown but they were not listening.

"Excuse me...what? Did you seriously just call yourself first man? Are you TRYING to make me laugh? Anyway, it doesn't matter who was first. If (Y/n) didn't like snuggling with me, then it would be different. But otherwise, what gives you the right to boss me around?" Asmo asked him while keeping his arms around me.

"(Y/n), don't be shy! Let him have it! Tell this numbskull he's too close and he needs to back off!"

"He doesn't know what he's talking about, does he (Y/n)? Naturally, you're happy to have someone as beautiful as me by your side, now aren't you?" Asmo asked with a smile.

"Look, I don't mind the snuggling but, I don't mean to sound rude but, you do go overboard with it," I tried telling Asmo but he was having none of it.

"Aww, there's no need to be shy, (Y/n). ...Okay, I'll just wait until later when we're alone. Then we can do lots of snuggling, okay?" Asmo asked before Raven growled loudly.

"I'm never leavin' you two alone...NEVEEEER!" Mammon yelled angrily while Raven barked at him.

"What do we have here...? Two idiots fighting over a normie? Pff, they can both kneel over and die for all I care," Levi spoke with a frown.

"What about you, Beel? I noticed you aren't getting involved. but you're in a pact with (Y/n) too, right?" Luke asked with a smile but, Beel was clutching his stomach.

"Too hungry right now. Don't feel like it."

I sweat dropped when he said this before a pillow was flung into Asmo's face.

"ASMODEUS...! YOU ROTTEN BASTARD...!" Mammon shouted angrily. (A/n and this brings us to where we left off from Chapter 25.)

"Hey...! You just threw that pillow at my FACE, didn't you...?" Asmo asked with a frown before he grabbed another pillow.

"AAAAAH I can't take this anymore! I wish you'd just disappear ! You can go burn in the fires of hell for all I care! If I could snap my fingers and send you there right now, I'd do it!" Asmo shouted back.

"*sigh* Things are going to escalate if nobody stops them," Simeon pointed out.

"Then why don't you stop them, Simeon?" Solomon asked him.

"Hmm...I think I might wait a little longer and see how things go before stepping in," Solomon told him

"That's it! You shut that big fat mouth of yours RIGHT NOW, you $#&*! *#&$! *$&!! %#!" Mammon swore at his brother.

"Oh yeah? Well, you're money-grubbing trash! A scumbag who'd sell his soul for a Grimm! The only thing that might make up for your awful existence is if you just ended it! Now!" Asmo shouted back.

"HEY, that's no way to be talkin' to your older brother, now is it?! You'd best start shoin' me some respect!" Mammon argued back.

"Respect?! What did YOU ever do to earn my respect?! I'm EMBARRASSED to have someone like you for an older brother! Mortified even!" Asmo shouted back.

I sighed a little before Satan stepped in and he told them, "All right, you two that's enough. Stop throwing pillows at each other. You're sending dust flying everywhere.

"It's no use. They won't listen. It's like they don't even hear us," Levi mumbled as he played on his switch.

"$%#! %$#%! And...and also, you're a...um, a *&%#$!" Mammon shouted.

"Maybe it's time you learned some new WORDS, Mammom! Because your vocabulary is pathetically small! Just what I'd expect from the stupidest demon in the Devildom! You really set the bar for what stupid can be!" Asmo shouted.

"WHAT?! SAY THAT AGAIN! I DARE YA!" Mammon shouted before throwing another pillow.

"Hey, I told you, stop throwing pillows at-" Satan's sentence was cut off when the pillow landed on Satan's face.

"Mphuh!"

"Ooh, um...whoops... Didn't mean to hit ya with that."

Satan growled angrily and then Raven whimpered before taking cover into my shadow.

"THAT'S IT! I'M GONNA KILL BOTH OF YOU!" Satan shouted before joined in the pillow fight. But, the pillow he threw landed on Simeon.

"Pff... loool Satan's got anger issues. LMAO."

"HEY, Satan! What do you think you're doing throwing a pillow at Simeon?! Take THIS! SUPER CELESTIAL SHOOTING PILLOOOOW!" Luke shouted before he started throwing pillows.

"Look at the huge marshmallows flying through the air... They look so yummy... Mmm..." Beel mumbled as he tried to take a bite of the pillow.

"Wh...Beel?! Could you maybe not try to take a bite out of my pillow, please?!" Asmo shouted.

"Solomon! you son of a...you think you're SO GREAT just 'cause you're a human like (Y/n)!" Mammon shouted as he threw a pillow at Solomon.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I take it trying to start a fight with me, Mammon?" Solomon told him as he and I joined in the fun.

Suddenly the door opened revealing a very angry Lucifer.

"Just WHAT do all of you think you're DOING?!"

"...That's a good question, yes. Really, I have to say, I'm disappointed," Diavolo spoke with a frown.

"Diavolo, I promise you that I'm going to have a good talk with them, and ensure that-"

"I mean, a pillow fight? ...How culd you do something fun like that and yet not think to invite us?"

"...What?" Lucifer asked with a confused look.

"It's a pillow fight, Lucifer! A pillow fight...! This is what overnight retreats are all about. I mean, it's straight out of  the book Youthful Fun 101!" Diavolo spoke with a smile.

 "Oh, well in that case, Lord Diavolo," I spoke with a smile before tossing him a pillow and he caught. "Come join in the fun."

"No, (Y/n) don't get him involved. Lord Diavolo, starry-eyed nostalgia is all well and good, but I won't stand for this," Lucifer spoke with a frown.

"Party pooper," I mumbled.

"What was that?" Lucifer glared me.

"Uh, nothing! I didn't say anything!" I spoke in a nervous tone.

"You're lettin' your guard down, Asmo! TAKE THIS!" Mammon shouted before he threw the pillow at Asmo but he ducked in time. However, the pillow landed on Diavolo.

"Uh oh!"

"Mammon scored a critical hit on Lord Diavolo! lololol He just pulled some SERIOUS aggro from Lucifer now! looool!" Levi laughed but I don't think this wasn't the time to be laughing especially now that we've ticked off Lucifer.

"...Anyone who dares throw a pillow at Diavolo must..DIE!" Lucifer shouted before throwing a pillow at Mammon.

"GUH-HRGH..!"

"Ahaha! Lucifer totally hit you square in the face with that pillow, Mammon! Serves you right!" Asmo laughed

"He can't hear you, Asmo. He's out cold," Satan pointed out.

"Wow, it's as if he really did intend to kill Mammon. That's how hard he threw that pillow. I mean, I've never seen a pillow fly through the air that it was on fire," Solomon spoke up.

"That was incredible...Are Devildom pillows made to function as weapons too...?!"

"No, I'm pretty sure they're just normal pillows like you'd find anywhere else," Simeon told Luke.

Lucifer smirked at us before he said to us, "All right, any of you who are brave enough to take a pillow to the face, step forward!"

"Lucifer, I'll help you reload! Tossing more pillows your way!"

"Got it, Diavolo! Jusst leave the rest to me!"

I quickly ducked for cover when Lucifer started throwing pillows. I believe things have gotten out of hand now that we've anger Lucifer.

"AAAAAAH! D-Don't aim for my face! Please, not that!" I heard Asmo shout.

"Th-That pillow he just threw made a hole in the bed...a hole...!" Beel shouted after seeing that pillow destroying that bed.

"I have to say, Lucifer and Diavolo do make quite the team... They work in such perfect coordination," Solomon spoke with an impressed smile on his face.

"Is this really the time to be standing around admiring them, Solomon?!" Asmo shouted.

"Lucifer, catch!" Diavolo tossed another pillow for Lucifer.

"Hrrah!" Lucifer threw another pillow.

"D'AAAAH!" Luke shouted.

"GUH..." Beel grunted in pain.

"GRUGH...!"

I peaked out of my hiding spot and both Beel and Satan are down now. lololol Lucifer is racking up the kills.' ...Sent!"

"I don't know if I'd call this a pillow fight. It's more like a game of Frantically Dodge the Flaming Ball of Death Past," Solomon pointed out.

"Yeah, no kidding," I told before I ducked again.

"Well then! Looks like it's my turn now! Get ready...!" Simeon spoke with a smirk.

"I'm getting out of here, come on Raven!" I told him before making a run for it.

We got into the gardens after escaping that pillow death fight. I panted a little in exhuastion before Raven came out of my shadow.

"Is it safe? did we get away?"

"Yeah...we're safe...for now at least..." I panted before sitting on the bench.

I looked at the night sky before laughing and then Raven came out of my shadow before sitting on the bench next to me.

"What's so funny?"

"I just realised, this is the most fun I had in a long time. I can't remember the last time I smiled and laughed so much. It was never like this back in the human world," I spoke with a smile.

"I guess that's because you've got friends and people who care about you. Well, except for the grumpy eldest brother," Raven told me before I petted his head.

"Hehe, that's true."

I wasn't wrong there, I was never invited to have sleepovers with the other kids from school or in the orphanage because of how different I was. But, all of that changed now that I'm here in the Devildom. I looked at the night sky and I realised something else.

"But...I'm only in Devildom for one year...once that time is up, I'll be back in that place and it'll be back to square one."

"That's not true. You'll still have me. I'll just be hiding from the staff in your shadow until I come outside and have fun with you and protect you. I am your familiar after all," Raven spoke with a smile.

"Yeah but, it won't be the same though. They're back here and I'm in the human world being the usual orphaned cursed demon seeing child," I spoke sadly before curling up into a ball.

I heard Raven whimpering sadly before he sniffed the air. We heard a twig snapping and then Raven started growling. I uncurled myself and I asked him.

"What is it, boy?"

"Someone's here," Raven growled before he leapt off the bench and then he stood in a defensive position.

I stood up from the bench and then we heard bushes rustling before a cloaked figure came out of the bushes. It was the same cloaked figure who saved me from before. Raven stopped growling when he saw him and then he said to me.

"It's been a while, (Y/n)."

"It's you. You were the one who brought me here."

"Of course, it was Lord Diavolo and Lucifer who told me to bring you here."

"You know them?" I asked him as he walked closer to me.

"Of course. You see, Lord Diavolo is a friend of mine. I can come and go as I please in the Devildom and in the human world," He spoke with a smile under that hood of his.

"And you're not afraid of the demons? especially the ones who want to eat you?" I asked him.

"Afraid? what's their to be afraid of?" He asked me before he looked at Raven. "The demons don't have a reason to eat me. Especially with these guys."

The cloaked figure petted Raven's head and for some reason he looked calm when he touched him.

"That's what some of the demons from the human do to me as well. Except I've had my fair share of being chased by one and nearly gotten eaten," I told him.

"That's because you're special, (Y/n)," The hooded man told me.

"I am? what makes you say that?"

"Because I know for a fact that you can see demons in the human world, you've befriended quite a few of them, got yourself a familiar and you've made four out of seven pacts with the demon brothers."

"How do you know about those things?" I asked him with a surprised look on my face.

"Let's just say...I've been watching you for quite a while and there have been rumours about you making pacts with the seven demon brothers well six since one of them isn't here right now."

I was surprised this guy knew so much about me. Maybe he can tell me about the reason why I'm able to see the demons in the human world and why I was chosen for the exchange program.

"If that's the case then...do you know the reason why I can see the demons and the other humans can't?" I asked him.

He remained silent for a moment before he told me, "I'm sorry. I'm afraid I can't tell you."

"Why?"

"There are bad people in this world who don't want special people like you to exist. That's all I can tell you for now," The hooded man told me before he walked away from me.

"Wait!" I stopped him before he turned towards me. "I know you can't tell me the truth about my ability to see the demons and befriend them but, can you at least tell me your name?"

The hooded man smiled at me and he nodded his head. "My name is Clayton."

I smiled when he told me his name before he disappeared into the shadows.
