Chapter Text
“Glaring at me is not going to get you out of your predicament,” Lucifer states, glaring at the stubborn human tied up next to his thrown. Jimin had made quite the fuss once Jin-soo had dropped him in front of Lucifer, even killing some of his demons. Lucifer hopes that the nephalem will forgive him for ruffing up his friend a bit. The split lip, twisted ankle, and bruises littering the human’s arm would heal quicker than any broken bones.
Jimin can’t say anything back, not aloud at least. His mouth is sewn shut, literally. The string that sewed his lips together is not visible nor was there an actual needle involved. It’s almost like they were glued except the feeling is different. ‘Crazy bastard. Hoseok would never join you.’
“Not willingly, he wouldn’t. Which is where you come in, little one.”
‘Don’t call me that!’
Lucifer smirks as he raises from his chair. He makes his way to Jimin, crouching down once he’s standing in front of him so he’s at the human’s eye level.
“I’ll call you whatever I like,” Lucifer pulls Jimin forward by yanking a fist full of the human’s hair, “And little one, it shall be.” The demon king growls as he releases Jimin, throwing his head back.
An unearthly growl rips through the air, scaring the life out of Jimin and amusing Lucifer. Both Lucifer and Jimin turn to look at the pissed of Hoseok that had just arrived. The nephalem’s wings are out but the man gives off a dark aura this time, death and destruction seemed to be radiating from him. The very ground he stood on was breaking beneath him.
“You finally join us. Welcome.” Lucifer says, approaching Hoseok cautiously. He stops a few feet away, not because he wants to, but because of the immense power and rage coming from Hoseok.
“Give me one good reason not to kill you on the spot,” Hoseok growls, glancing at Jimin. Hoseok is seconds away from fulfilling his promise from earlier but he has to stick to the plan.
“If you kill me,” Lucifer signals to one of the loitering demons to stand behind Jimin, knife in hand, “They’ll kill him,” Lucifer states triumphantly, feeling proud of having the upper hand.
“What do you want?” Hoseok focuses his eyes on Lucifer, though he can still see what’s going on with Jimin.
“I want you to join me. Eventually, there will be a war between Heaven, Hell, and Olympus. You’ll be very valuable at that time.”
The demon guarding Jimin begins to convulse silently, dropping to the ground dead seconds later. Jimin silently freaks out at the sight of the dead body, hardly noticing the two demons freeing him from his chains.
“Calm down. It was either him or you.” Jungkook whispers, pulling Jimin to his feet.
“B-But killing him.” Jimin croaks, on the verge of tears. He’s never handled death well, even if it was just the death of a random person he’d still get sad. But seeing a dead body just made him sick to his stomach.
“We don’t have time for this. Throw up when we get out of here.” Jin states.
“Wait, how’d you guys even get down here? How’d you get rid of the spell that was on me? Why hasn’t anyone seen us yet?” Jimin panics, asking question after question. Jin and Jungkook sigh.
“We used a spell, I’m very good at removing spells, and I used a few spells to make us invisible and go unheard and to make it look like you’re still trapped,” Jin answers quickly, his words a jumbled mess. Jimin nods his head nonetheless, accepting the explanation.
“I’m sorry. I don’t take sides. I especially wouldn’t help you.” Hoseok states bluntly, watching Jungkook and Jimin disappear from his peripheral vision.
“Is that your final answer?” Lucifer answers, apparently unaware of the demon coming to stand behind him.
“Yes, it is.”
“You see, I really hate my son and his friend. They’re always getting in my way.” Lucifer states, throwing Jin backwards with a wave of his hand. Jin’s back collides with the stairs of the throne, caving them in and destroying them.
“Unfortunately, two have gotten away. The one who’s always been a thorn in my side remains, however.” Lucifer walks over to Jin, surprised that neither Hoseok nor Jin have made a move.
“Touch him and you die.” Hoseok growls, his voice filled with hatred and possessiveness. Lucifer just chuckles, ignoring Hoseok as he pulls Jin up by his hair.
“If you kill me-”
The sounds of screams, bones popping and cracking, and blood gushing echoes as demons are killed mercilessly by the force of Hoseok’s power. The color drains from Lucifer’s face but he smiles nonetheless, watching his demons be killed in the blink of an eye.
“Amazing.” Lucifer gasps, releasing Jin. Jin flops back against the throne, grunting at the pain that shoots up his spine. Without hesitation, Hoseok pins Lucifer against a wall to his left, holding him there so he can get to Jin.
“You are truly a magnificent creature.” Lucifer compliments Hoseok once again, still being ignored by the man. Hoseok lifts Jin onto his back after hiding his wings, being careful not to touch the elder’s back too much.

“Why’d you even stay, Jin hyung?” Hoseok questions as he’s healing Jin. Jin had a large bruise covering the center of his back, surprisingly just having fractured his vertebrae. Jungkook had already healed Jimin when they got to the apartment, the younger wouldn’t say how but Jimin’s blush told them it was probably had something to do with kissing.
“To make sure nothing happened to you,” Jin answers, wincing when Hoseok’s fingers brush against the bruise. He’s a demon so he’ll heal quickly but the pain is still a bitch. Jungkook and Jimin snicker, making Hoseok blush even harder. Why were his dongsaengs so rude?

“See?”
“Michael-”
“We should wait and see how this plays out.”
“He’s a risk, Michael.”
“He’s not a problem right now.”
“When the time comes, I don’t want any of this hesitance.”
“Yes, Father.”
~~~
“Hermes.”
“Yes, Zeus?”
“Deliver a message for me.”
~~~
“Jungkook.”
“What is it, hyung?”
“Your father’s an asshole.” Hoseok states with disdain and malice. Jungkook and Jin laugh at the disgusted expression on Hoseok’s face.
Jimin leans over and whispers something into Jungkook’s ear, whatever he said made the demon laugh.
“You still have a boyfriend, Mochi.” Hoseok reminds, chuckling at the embarrassed and horrified expression Jimin makes. Immediately the younger man jumps up and runs to his room, then runs out the door 5 minutes later.
“Where’s he going so late?” Jungkook mumbles. Hoseok only offers the younger a smile before the man turns on the TV.
