**I made this as a Secret Santa gift on Instagram. I thought about not sharing it, but it's my work and it's a Mammon story. I usually never write about him. I took out person's the name and gender.**

Christmas in the Devildom and the House of Lamentation had been gathered in the common room by Lucifer. Why? Because a string of burglaries had been pointing to none other than Mammon, of course. Mammon was usually the first suspect in things like this. "For shame Mammon! And on Christmas!" Asmo taunted. "Oi, shuddup! We didn't even start celebratin' Christmas until MC came to Devildom! Normally around this time of year, you'd be off with your succubus groupies!" Mammon shot back. "Enough you two! This is serious! Mammon, if you are the one behind these petty thefts I will punish you by freezing all of your credit cards, and placing a ban on your allowance, starting Christmas day.

Lucifer had just started to trust Mammon a little again. He had really been trying to be better since MC came into the household. Mammon would never admit they was the reason he got better, but Lucifer knew. With that trust, came an allowance. Mammon wasn't fully trusted or forgiven for past transgressions but Lucifer would allow him some money to spent however he wanted. Taking that away from him would be a huge blow. " I ain't doing it! Don't take away my allowance, big bro!" Mammon begged. "Pathetic..." Levi muttered.

After the meeting, Mammon sat out on the roof, looking out into the sky. "Hey Mammon, can I join you?" MC asked as they poked their head out of the window. "Huh!? Oh s-sure. If that's what ya want..... I-I mean OF COURSE you want to sit out here with THE GREAT MAMMON!" He yelled for no reason. MC noticed he did that a lot, maybe to try to hype himself up more than let people know how great he really was. MC already thought he was great, he didn't need to try to convince them. "I believe you. I don't think you're the one stealing." MC said. "I ain't! I don't know who is but until they stop or until someone finds them, I'll be the one that gets blamed." Mammon sighed. "Well then, lets do it!" MC smiled. "Do what?" Mammon asked. "Let's find out who is doing this! Let's clear your name!" They exclaimed, almost slipping off the roof as they jumped up in excitement. "Whoa whoa, human! Watch your step!" Mammon chuckled as he caught them by the arm. He didn't need to be blamed for theft and their injuries.

They decided to start by finding out what had gone missing. They would start with Leviathan... Mammon may have pressed the question on what went missing a bit to hard. "As if you didn't know, you scum lord!" Levi shouted as Mammon dodged a controller flying toward him. "Levi, calm down. Tell me what Mammon 'stole' from you?" MC lulled. "My limited edition Ruri-chan card!! I bought over 100 bags of chips to get it and now it's gone forever because Mammon sold it!!" Levi seethed through his teeth. "I didn't steal anything!!!" Mammon yelled from across the room.

After they got information from Levi, without much help, they went and asked Asmodeus. "Well, I had samples for my new lipstick line coming out soon, but my 'promiscuous periwinkle' seems to have vanished. He sighed as he looked at himself in the mirror. "There, there Asmo, we'll find it." MC consoled him. As they were about to leave, they noticed something. They went over to the side of Asmo's dresser and found a black feather."Hey, Mammon I have an idea." They exclaimed. They grabbed Mammon by the hand and raced out of Asmo's room. "Whoa, human! Slow down, what's got you all excited huh?" Mammon asked but stopped dead in his tracks as he realized that he was still holding their hand. He blushed and let go. "H-hey now, don't go touchin' me without permission!"

That night, the pair sat on the roof, looking at the stars. "Well, this isn't good. We haven't found any clues about that missin' stuff. We ain't gonna be able to clear my name by Christmas." Mammon huffed, crossing his arms. Just then a crow flew by. "Hey! Did you see that!?" Mammon jumped up from his seat and pointed at the crow, his familiar. "That's Archer and she's got something in her mouth! It looks like one of my rubies!!" He shouted. "Mhmm, just as I suspected! MC giggled. "What you mean, human?" He asked. "Come with me."

MC gathered the brothers and led them to the crow's nesting area and there they found it. Turns out Archer had been one busy bird! "Look! There's my Ruri-chan card, and Asmo's lipstick." Levi shouted. "And there's Luke's recipe card and the missing page from Solomon's spellbook." Satan gasped. "Hey, that little sneak didn't just take my ruby. She took my black opal and Alexandrite too! Those are the really valuable ones!" Mammon moaned.

Of course, crows were notorious for stealing shiny things, and apparently, Archer's interests spanned wider as she also liked to steal bits of paper and scraps for her nest. Luckily for Levi, Solomon, and Luke, their stuff was still intact. The brothers grabbed their belongings from the poor bird, as well as the belongings that were taken from others to return them. "Awe, poor Archer. They took her building materials." MC sighed. "Well, she did steal them." Lucifer chuckled. "She's just like her master, isn't she." He joked, nudging Mammon. "I guess I owe you a very rare apology. Don't get used to it!" He scoffed before walking away. Mammon made a gesture, pretending to have a heart attack at his older brother actually admitting he was wrong, making MC laugh. "Come with me human." He and MC returned to his room with his precious jewels in hand.

When they got to his room, MC sat on the couch while Mammon rummaged through his closet. "What are you doing?" MC asked. "Hold on, just sit there and wait!" Mammon mumbled. A few minutes later he emerged with a two worn t-shirts and some scissors. "Here, help me with this, yeah?" He shoved a shirt and the scissors at them. They watched as Mammon began cutting the shirt up with his scissors. They still looked at him, confused. "Just cut!" Mammon huffed. They followed his lead and cut the shirt into strips.

A few minutes later, Mammon gathered the scraps, got up, and left the room. MC followed behind him and the pair walked to Archer's nest. The bird looked quite sad. However, MC noticed a shiny red stone still in the ruins of her nest. "Mammon, you didn't take back your Ruby?" He shook his head. "Nah... It wasn't that hard to get. I'll get another." He then set the scraps down in front of the bird. "Here ya go bud! Will these work for ya?" He smiled. The bird seemed to perk up a bit. That's when MC realized what Mammon had done. He was giving Archer new nest material. "Awe, Mammon! That's so sweet of you!!" They squeaked as they hugged him from behind. Luckily, they couldn't see how beet red his face got. "Yeah, yeah human! I get it. Now get off me!" He chuckled. "Merry Christmas, ya dumb bird!" He laughed lightheartedly.

Christmas morning had rolled around and everyone gathered in the common room. The brothers all admitted that they were wrong to accuse Mammon of stealing... This time. Everyone had a great time exchanging gifts and spending time with each other. "H-hey, MC... Umm thanks for everything! You believed in me more than anyone and it m-means a lot to me." MC expected him to him to backpedal out of the compliment had given them but he didn't. "Thanks, Mammon. I'm glad I could help." MC blushed.

They looked up noticed that they had been standing under the mistletoe that Asmo had hung earlier in the day. "Uhmm... Mammon." They pointed up and they saw how red Mammon's face got. They was about to say something but suddenly Mammon kissed them. "Merry Christmas, MC..." It was truly was a Christmas miracle. This was definitely a holiday the House of Lamentation would never forget.
