Chapter Text
"Just knock Levi, it's not that hard"
"I'm trying okay!"
Levi fixed his gaze on the door in front of him, calming his nerves. He lifted his hand in a fist and placed it in front of the door, stopping a few millimetres away from the door.
Okay! I can do this!
Levi and Satan are currently standing in front of Solomon's room, Levi attempting to knock on the door while Satan's patience is slowly thinning the more Levi hesitates.
A few days ago Levi was getting ready to pre-order Tickets to see his favourite idol's live show. When the time to buy tickets came, with his fast reflexes, he immediately pressed Buy Ticket.
But it did not work. Confused. Levi pressed the buy ticket button again, and again, when finally the tab to pick a seat opened.
Rushing, Levi picked the nearest seat to the front that was not taken and hurriedly pressed the confirm button.
When the tickets came, Levi found out he accidentally bought two additional tickets, which he blamed on the internet lag.
He thought of returning the tickets but he is unable to. He can't just throw the tickets away because it would be a waste and Lucifer might scold him for wasting money on buying tickets he won't even use.
To say the least, Levi spent the rest of the days before the live contemplating what to do with the two extra tickets
Decidedly, a day before the concert, Levi opted to ask two of his brothers to come with him.
Mammon was his first choice but unfortunately he'll be having a photoshoot with Asmo the same day as the live.
Beel agreed to come but Belphie did not want to come because it's a hassle so ultimately, Beel changed his mind and apologised to Levi.
Lucifer was out of the question, He'll probably be too busy to accompany Levi to the live and he really just doesn't want to ask him.
Levi was also adamant on asking Satan. Surprisingly Satan agreed to come. Now he just needs one more person.
A few hours before the live show, Levi and Satan went to purgatory hall hurriedly to ask either of the two angels to accompany them both. The two demons caught the two angels just before they were leaving. Apparently, they have somewhere to go today so they can't come.
Simeon recommended asking Solomon since he doesn't have anything to do today.
That brings us to the present.
Levi is still looking at the door with his hand hanging in the air, stopping just as he was about to knock on the door
Satan let out a frustrated huff as he marched towards Levi and the door. Before Levi could react, Satan was already knocking on the door in front of them.
The sound of knocking snapped Levi out of his trance. He stared at Satan bewildered while Satan didn't tear away his gaze from the door, his hands crossed. Levi tore his gaze away to look back at the door expectantly.
A few minutes of silence passed with Levi only hearing his frantic heartbeat. Still, there was no answer from the other side.
"Is he not home?" Levi uttered unknowingly.
Satan's eyes peeked at Levi but instantly went back to stare at the door. He lifted his hand and made a fist, preparing to knock again. Before his hand could make contact with the door, in a swift motion, it swung open, revealing a white haired sorcerer.
Solomon's eyes scanned the two demons in front of his door.
"Can I help you two?" Solomon inquired, not quite understanding why Levi and Satan are currently standing in front of his room.
"O-oh, u-uhm..." Levi was trying to find the right words but his nerves are making it hard to form a coherent sentence.
Satan decided to save his older brother from embarrassment. "Come with us to a concert"
Solomon stared at Satan puzzled.
"There is a concert tonight at 8:00 pm, Levi bought 3 tickets by accident. He's looking for people to come with him so as to not waste the tickets he bought." Satan clarified
Solomon finally understood. "Ohh, i can go, i don't have plans today anyway"
"Really?! That's great!" Levi accidentally blurted out. "A-ah, I m-mean, Thank you..."
Satan looked at Levi, done with his brother's nervous antics.
"Let's meet up at purgatory hall later?" Solomon asked the two demons but more to Levi. "Ah! Yeah!" "Sure" The two demon brothers said in unison.
"Then it's settled, I'll see you two later" Solomon smiled at the brothers.
-After The Live Concert-
"This... Is certainly interesting" Satan muttered to himself while looking at his older brother squealing like a fan girl while taking pictures with, from what he can recall, is ruri-chan.
The live finished and Ruri-chan is currently taking pictures with her fans. Satan is watching on the sideline waiting for Levi... And Solomon. On that note, he's been gone for a long time.
Satan glanced at the direction where the sorcerer went off to. Solomon said he'll be going to the restroom.
~~~~~~~~
So, Solomon was lost. Wouldn't the restrooms usually be at the back of the stadium?... Or maybe not.
"Hey young man, are you lost?" Solomon jumped at the voice, ready to strike the stranger.
Once he found the source of the voice, he was met face to face with a young girl with pitch black hair and gold coloured eyes staring right at him. The smile etched into the girl's face was unnerving.
Solomon took notice of the stall which seemed to come out of nowhere. Solomon was flabbergasted to say the least.
Why is there a stall here? Who is this girl? Where did she come from?
"Would you care to buy some souvenirs?" Said the young girl, opening her arms wide, showing the number of objects displayed in the small stall.
Solomon didn't reply, instead he steadied himself and stood up straight. He eyed the mysterious girl.
The smile never left the girl's face.
"What about this?" She picked up a small potion, smaller than her own thin hands. She waved the potion in front of Solomon.
Solomon's wary face morphed into a smile. The smile, obviously not meeting his eyes. "No thank you" Solomon finally replied.
The young girl didn't take back her outstretched hand, instead she threw the potion at Solomon. Instinctively, Solomon caught it.
"For you young man, it's free" She said, the smile never leaving her face. "If you're looking for the restrooms, turn around" she motioned with her finger.
Solomon, although hesitant, still slightly turned his head around. Much to his surprise, the restrooms were indeed behind him.
What- how- It wasn't there earlier
He quickly looked back at the young girl but the stall and the girl were no longer there.
Solomon was surprised, his head swiftly moved everywhere trying to find a trace of the girl, but to no avail.
He remembered the potion, he stopped and stared at the small bottle in his hands. It was small enough to be covered when he made a fist with his hand. Inside it is a purple liquid when shaken reveals a pink tint to it.
He sighed, he put the potion in his pocket and proceeded to go to the restroom.
Throughout his life he has met many strange individuals, so this is not new to him.
~~~~~~~~
Satan was getting impatient, Levi was done taking pictures but he was still there admiring his favourite idol.
Satan walked towards Levi and took a hold of his arm. Before Levi could protest, he was pulled away from the crowd and Ruri-chan.
"That's enough, I'm tired Levi" Satan simply said, looking ahead not making eye contact with his brother.
"B-but- Hold on! Ruri-chan is still there!!" Levi semi-yelled while trying to break free from his brother's hold.
Satan ignored Levi and continued to walk, once they were far away from the crowd, Satan let go of his brother's arm.
"It's getting late" Satan said, turning to glance at Levi.
"How would you know?! The sky is always dark at Devildom!" Upon noticing the stern look of Satan, Levi quickly shut up.
He really does remind me of Lucifer when he's like this... That's a dangerous thought.
"Fine, fine, let's go..." Disappointment and Resignation was evident in Levi's tone.
"Solomon's still not here" Satan mentioned. Levi looked around and as Satan said, Solomon was not there.
Seeing the confused look on Levi's face, Satan added "He told us he was going to the restroom, you were too occupied with your idol to hear"
"Stay here, I'll fetch him" Satan was already walking away, leaving Levi alone.
What is he, a dog?
Levi questioned Satan's choice of words.
"Hey-" "GAHHH!!" Levi jumped at the sudden presence beside him.
He saw a person with white hair and black clothing.
"Solomon!" Levi yelled angrily, his hand on his chest clutching at his heart.
"Sorry" Solomon raised his arms in surrender. "It took me a while to find the restrooms" Solomon said sheepishly.
Levi let out a breath "Satan just went to fetch you"
"Fetch me? What am I a dog?" Solomon said but his tone was light and a small smile climbed up his face, amused.
That's what I thought
"Oh, by the way" Solomon reached out to his pants pocket. "Someone gave me this" He took out a small bottle filled with purple liquid. Solomon displayed the bottle in front of Leviathan.
"What's this" Levi took the bottle in front of him and inspected it. "A potion? Isn't it illegal to sell potions without permits?" He looked at Solomon accusingly.
Solomon noticed Levi's suspicion. "She gave it to me and disappeared"
"She?" Levi further probed.
"Didn't know her, She just appeared suddenly and vanished" Solomon calmly responded, not at all bothered by Levi's suspicion.
"Huh..."
"There you are" "GAHHHHH-" Levi lost hold of the bottle he was holding and it fell to the ground. Levi heard the sound of glass shattering before a white smoke engulfed his field of vision.
*Cough* "Levi, what the fuxk is this-" *Cough* Satan said in between coughs.
"I-i don't know! I can't see!" Levi said frantically, eyes darting in different directions looking for his companions.
"I'm getting light headed" Solomon quietly uttered, which went unheard by the two demons.
A hand grabbed a hold of Solomon's arm. "Who's this?" Levi asked, holding the arm he caught. "Me" Solomon replied.
The smoke was slowly starting to dissipate, revealing three silhouettes standing there. One was holding the other's arm and one was standing a bit further from the two.
"What the heck was that Levi!" Yelled a white haired sorcerer.
"I think it was because of the potion" Said the 3rd eldest, steadying himself.
"What potion!?" Satan angrily questioned
"A girl gave me a potion and Levi dropped it" Solomon said before Levi could explain himself.
"Huh!? Levi!..." Satan shifted his gaze to his elder brother but something caught his eye. Besides Levi was himself, he was coughing and wiping his eyes. Satan froze for a moment upon seeing his own body in front of him.
His body was moving and he certainly was not the one controlling it.
Realisation struck Satan.
He looked at his hands, then arms, then his own body... Or at least what he thought was his body.
"WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?!!!!" Solomon's loud voice caught the other two's attention.
"Stop yelling Sa-" Levi was about to kindly tell his brother to shut up when, instead of satan, he saw that Solomon was the one yelling.
Levi was confused, he turned to look at Satan but instead was met by his own self staring at Solomon wide-eyed.
"Why... W-why am I t-there?!" Satan pointed at himself, staring in shock and fear.
"Ah... It seems... we switched..." Levi, who was still staring at Solomon, muttered, trying to find the right words to describe this situation.
"Switched?!" Solomon's head shot up towards Levi, staring at him.
"Yeah..." Levi spared a glance at the demon beside him who was staring at him in shock and confusion.
His gaze went back to the person in front of him, Himself.
“I am Solomon” Levi( Solomon ) raised his right arm. “And you-” He then pointed at his body, “-are Satan”.
“Leviathan” Lastly he pointed to the person beside him, who seemed to finally snap out of his shock.
“W-wha- Did that potion do this!?” Satan( Levi ) looked at the broken glass at the ground, the purple liquid escaping the small bottle.
Solomon( Satan ) followed his body’s gaze and found the broken potion bottle.
“Explain!” Satan’s anger doesn't look like it'll go away anytime soon.
“Well. When I was looking for the restrooms a girl suddenly appeared and gave me a potion. I didn't know where she came from or who she was. A stall also appeared alongside her, it was filled with all sorts of things, which I didn't really pay much attention to.” Levi( Solomon ) said regrettably.
Solomon crouched down, surveying the broken bottle, “She gave me a potion for free and then disappeared, even the stall disappeared. No trace of her and the stall were present. It was like she was never there in the first place”.
“I didn't really think much of it since i have met many eccentric individuals throughout my lifetime”
Sigh
“I didn't think it would be a body switching potion”
“W-we could just switch back right?” Satan( Levi ) looked at Solomon but shifted his gaze to Levi when he remembered Solomon was in his body. “You know all about this… witchy stuff right? You can just make a potion to turn us back to normal!”
“I'm afraid I can't” Levi( Solomon ) said, deep in thought.
“Why not!?” This time, Solomon( Satan ) was the one who yelled.
Levi( Solomon ) moved his eyes to glance at Satan who was in his body.
“Usually body switching is done with spells rather than potions due to the complexity involved in the process. It is rare to come across a body switching potion as it requires specific ingredients, such as blood from two different individuals. A precise measurement of the blood from each person must be incorporated for the potion to be effective. Furthermore, an essential component of the potion is the dendrophylax lindenii, also known as the ghost orchid, an elusive plant that further complicates the potion-making process due to its rarity.”
“The potion only operates as a two-way mechanism, meaning that both individuals involved in the body switch must consume the potion at the same day and at the same time for the transformation to occur successfully…
It doesn't work like this”
Solomon gestured to the current situation they were in.
“That's why most prefer to use spells when switching bodies!” Solomon finished his long rant with a grin
“... I didn't understand any of that” Satan( Levi ) said, slightly shaking his head.
“Are you saying it's impossible to turn back to normal” Solomon’s( Satan ) voice was starting to rise again.
“No. No…” Levi( Solomon ) trailed off. “But it'll take a while for me to find a way to turn back. By the looks of the potion, I assume it's self-made.
That or we can try and track that girl that gave me the potion, but that will also take a while”
Solomon( Satan ) stared at Levi( Solomon ) blankly. He turned around and slowly started walking away from the other two.
Levi( Solomon ) and Satan( Levi ) watched Solomon( Satan ) walking away. When he managed to put a bit of distance between himself and the other two. He started yelling.
Even from the distance (which is not that far) they could hear Solomon( Satan ) yelling furiously. Even his words were clear to the two bystanders near him.
“WHAT A FUXKING SHIT NIGHT THIS IS! I AGREED TO COME AND THIS SHIT HAPPENS!! I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS! that fucking bastard will surely scold us if he knew. and I CAN'T TOLERATE THAT! I CAN'T LET HIM SEE ME IN THIS SORRY STATE! fucking hell…”
“It's weird seeing you losing your shit like that” Satan( Levi ) whispered to Levi( Solomon ). “You're usually unsettlingly calm most of the time”
Levi( Solomon ) eyed the blond demon, he didn't know how to react to that statement.
“Who's he talking about?” Levi( Solomon ) asked while staring at his screaming self.
“Probably Lucifer, for some reason, Satan hates his guts” Satan( Levi ) thought about the possible reasons why Satan would hate Lucifer so much but he couldn't really pinpoint an exact reason as to why he despises him.
“HEY!” Solomon( Satan ) turned around and the two stiffened. He made his way towards Levi( Solomon ) and gripped the sorcerer's shoulders and looked at his eyes, glaring.
“You, find a way to turn us back to normal, I'll also try and look at my end”.
“Levi” Solomon( Satan ) switched his gaze over to his Brother, hands still gripping the other's shoulders. “Look for that girl that Solomon mentioned, I don't care how you do it, just find her.” Satan( Levi ) nodded.
He really is like Lucifer…
“And don't tell anyone about this” Solomon( Satan ) switched his gaze between Solomon and Levi.
Both of them Nodded and Solomon( Satan ) finally let go of Levi's( Solomon ) shoulders.
“Does this mean we have to pretend to be each other?” Satan( Levi ) muttered to himself.
“Of course!”
Satan( Levi ) was startled when Solomon replied to him.
“Come on” Without sparing Levi and Solomon a glance, Satan in Solomon's body walked away, ready to leave.
“Wait!” Satan( Levi ) ran after his brother. Solomon took his time and followed suit.

In the distance, a pair of golden orbs watched as the three walked away getting further and further from the concert hall. The smile never leaving that person's face.
Soon enough, it disappeared into the darkness…
~~~~~~~~
The house of Lamentation and Purgatory hall are in opposite directions. It's time for the three to part ways.
“Remember, do not tell anyone. Especially Lucifer!” Satan looked over his shoulder, eyeing Solomon who was in Levi's body and Levi who was in his body.
With that, Solomon( Satan ) parted ways with the other two.
“We should go too” mentioned Levi( Solomon ). Satan( Levi ) agreed and the two made their way to the House of Lamentation.
