Just to clarify, Bifariam is NOT an "actual" angel. Let me explain. He's a demon with an angelic mutation in his DNA. Paimon did not do the deed with an angel, this is the result of a mutation.
also, the name Bifariam means "In two"
Enjoy.

"Son?"
"What?" Replied Bifariam calmly as he sat down on a chair in the living room.
"I'm bringing you a friend." Paimon continued calmly.
"What?" Bifariam asked while raising a brow.
It's been a few years since Paimon decided to take care of our beloved protagonist on his own and Bifariam was now a healthy six year old owl demon with snowy white feathers and two golden eyes, giving him an angelic look.
Paimon, however, did not change one bit.
"Because i want an excuse to occasionally not deal with you." Deadpanned Paimon bluntly. "So congratulations, you'll be getting a friend."
Bifariam put a hand on his chin. He never really thought about getting a friend before as everyone tended to stay away from him, BUT time with a sane person would be very much appreciated.
"A friend, huh? I guess having someone my age i can spend time with without the whole situation escalating into a hostage situation can be pretty good."
"It happened one time! And i thought it was part of that 'modern' theater play. Also, you didn't even pay the ransom." Said Paimon with a deep frown as he crossed his arms.
"I didn't because you're perfectly able to free your feathery butt whenever you want!" Yelled Bifariam angrily, glaring at Paimon. "And how was i even supposed to get the money?!"
"Ugh, fair point. ANYWAYS, your new playmate will be one of your siblings. You can start by looking through this catalog." Said Paimon nonchalantly before he summoned a book with a snap of his fingers.
Bifariam paused and stared at the book in disgust.
"How many kids do you have to need a catalog?!"
"If i knew, i wouldn't need the catalog." Replied Paimon nonchalantly.
"You wouldn't need it if you'd spend time with th-"
"Spend time with them?! Ha! Have you seen those little s*ts?" Said Paimon cheerfully. "They're f*king insane!"
Bifariam turned to Painon and glared at him. It took Paimon a second to realize why before he shrugged.
"I stand by what i said." He deadpanned.
Ariam rolled his eyes before turning to the book. Stolas was in there. Should he break the story and give his new brother a much needed friend or should he sit on the sidelines away from all the plot?
As Bifariam pondered this question, Paimon had already opened the book and began looking through.
"Ahh, this brings back a lot of horrible memories. Just be careful when choosing, some of them may try to kill you in your sleep."
"I'll take the other owl." Bifariam said without a second thought, not letting Paimon finish.
Paimon stared at Bifariam, raising a brow at how Biff knew about the other owl. A few seconds later, he shrugged.
"I can either ask how you know about your owl sibling or i can just not care." Said Paimon calmly as he stared intently at Biff. "Congratulations on your new friend."
It was time to meet Stolas.

"Oh you're SOOO good at daddying."
"You can mock me all you want, I'm not coming." Deadpanned Paimon through a magic mirror.
Right now, Bifariam was standing outside the mansion to greet Stolas who was to arrive soon. Sadly, Paimon wasn't willing to participate.
"I'm gonna put one of my feathers in your pillow tonight so the angelic radiation would give you a headache as bad as mine right now."
Bifariam glared at Paimon with a deep frown before Paimon began laughing loudly.
"Ha! Do you think I'm a peasant or something? I have more pillows than you have feathers and i can still buy more." Replied Paimon with joyous laughter before noticing that the guests were about to arrive. "Oh, and your new friend's here. Goodbye!"
Paimon then proceeded to cut the connection from the mirror, leaving Bifariam to sigh tiredly.
Bifariam turned to the carriage arriving with his "brother". He was mentally older than Stolas as well as physically, even though it was by a month or so, so he'd have to not get frustrated by the kid.
He took a deep breath and stared at the carriage as the door opened to reveal the young Stolas and Bifariam had only one thing to say.
"Aww, you're so adorable!"
"Uh, thanks?" Said Stolas getting scared by Bifariam's sudden appearance. "My name's Stolas."
"Bifariam."
"You're my brother!" Said Stolas cheerfully before he started looking around. "Where's father?"
Bifariam froze. He mentally cursed the Goetia King before clearing his throat.
"He's...uhm, tired." Replied Bifariam looking for any excuse. "How about we go inside and do something?"
Stolas happily agreed and the two entered the mansion.
xxXxx
"It must be so nice to stay here with father." Said Stolas admiring the place and pictures.
"I beg to differ." Deadpanned Biff
"Why?" Asked Stolas innocently.
"You'll know in a few years." Said Bifariam cheerfully as he led Stolas through the mansion. "So, Stolas, you like books, right?"
Stolas froze. "How'd you know?" He asked in surprise
"Call it a gut feeling." Replied Ariam cheerfully bef they made it to a large door. "We're here!"
Stolas stared in awe as Biff opened the door to reveal...a huge library, Paimon's library.
"Woah!"
"And it's all ours for the day." Added Biff. "So long as we don't burn anything."
Stolas dashed inside with cheer, bringing books left and right. The two read Paimon's collection of book with no thought whatsoever.
Some books were funny, some were sad and others were cursed...like the one Stolas was picking out right now.
"Hey, what about this one?" Asked Stoals showing off a clearly cursed book.
"Stolas, that looks cursed." Replied Biff narrowing his eyes at the very cursed looking book.
"Does it?" Asked Stolas innocently.
"Definitely."
Stolas nodded and ran to return the book. On the way, he tripped on another book left on the floor and dropped the clearly very cursed book.
The book opened and from it rose a giant monstrous octopus.
The two instantly ran away as the beast roared them. They managed to hide away from its sight behind a bookshelf where they began planning their next move.
"What should we do?" Asked Stolas in a panic.
"We can call for dad?" Said Bifariam with a shrug.
"But the monster's blocking- oh, it's not blocking the door." Said Stolas in a panic before seeing that the door was right in front of them and completely unattended.
The two walked to the door and walked through with no issue whatsoever. This caused them some confusion.
"It's not even locked?" Said Biff in surprise.
"That's so anticlimatic. Usually, there'd be..."
"I know, right?" Said Biff with a chuckle that caused Stolas to laugh along. "Let's just get dad and be done with this."
The two cheerfully headed towards Paimon's location together with cheerful smiles on their faces.

"So you mean to tell me that you two were reading in the library before you dropped a very clearly cursed book, unleashing a giant octopus monster i use for personal purposes that couldn't even block the door, letting you escape with absolutely no trouble and you want me to fix it?" Asked Paimon as he drank a cup of tea.
"Yes" "Do it yourselves."
"Excuse me?" Bifariam glared at Paimon.
"This is my day off." Said Paimon calmly as he took a sip from his cup of tea. "So deal with it on your own."
In the midst of Biff glaring at Paimon, Stolas stepped in to ask an important question.
"But, father, how are we supposed to do that?" He asked innocently.
Paimon sighed. "Fine." He snapped his fingers and summoned a spear, a crossbow and some arrows. "They're all holy, so be mindful of that." He said as he gave Biff the spear and Stolas the crossbow and arrows.
"This is completely irresponsible!" Ariam scolded as he crossed his arms.
"Please, it's perfectly safe to give two six year olds weapons," said Paimon cheerfully as he turned to Stolas "right, owl boy?"
Under the pressure of his father's gaze, Stolas could only say one thing.
"Uhh, i guess?"
"Splendid! The monster is tied to its book and can't move it, so it's stuck in the library. Just camp the door and you should be fine. It's not that smart."
Bifariam was impressed, terrified and disgusted by his father's battle tactics, but alas, desperate times call for desperate measures.
And so, coordinating their attacks, Bifariam and Stolas managed to defeat the beast with no effort or trouble as it helplessly struggled against the door while being pelted with a rain of arrows and the piercing of a spear thanks to their father's completely toxic strategy.
However, the two felt bad for the poor monster. It looked too pathetic and helpless to kill.
"I can't do this, Ariam." Said Stolas throwing his crossbow away as he turned to the octopus who was one arrow away from death. "Just look at it."
Ariam stared at the octopus's eye as it shed pathetic tears. He started to feel bad as well. He dropped his spear and put a hand over Stolas's shoulder.
"Maybe we can keep it as a pet."
"That's a great idea!" Exclaimed Stolas. "I'm sure if we take good care of it, it won't try to hurt us."
"And we have the space and money." Added Ariam.
Stolas happily turned to the octopus beast. "You hear that? You're going to live a long happy life!" He said as Paimon passed by them.
"Oh, hey, it's still alive." Paimon said calmly as he picked up a crossbow and loaded it. "Let me help you with that."
Before the brothers could say a thing, the beast was already turned into blood and guts splattered onto their clothes. As the brothers stared in horror, Paimon cheerfully walked away with no care in the world.
"Ahh, getting better at daddying every day."
