Jamie doesnt even know how he got here, or why he's even in this club. Sitting at the table nursing a beer, that's now going lukewarm from having it for so long. He doesn't know why his mood is so down, the flyers have won their last 5 games, he's happy to be in philly
Sure he misses Trevor and the rest of his past teammates, but he's fitting in well here and he likes it. Maybe he's lonely? Who knows at this point, all he knows is he'd rather be anywhere but here. “Jamieeee buddy!!! Cheer up!!!! Go get laid!!!” one of his drunk teammates yells out at him from across the bar. A small chuckle rips through his body, as he looks back at his teammate raising his beer with a smile.
Finally killing off the beer, he makes his way to the bar to get a new one, leaning against the counter, waiting for the bartender. All of the sudden Jamie feels something or someone's body crash into his left side.
“Oh my gosh, i'm so so sorry” the sweet voice of a woman echoed in his ears. “Are you okay?” The nameless woman speaks again, holding Jamie's arms to steady herself and to look at him. “Yeah, I'm fine. Are you?” He finally speaks, the woman in front of him as to be one of the most beautiful women he’s ever seen in his entire life.
The way her hair falls, so perfectly in her face, the way her leather pants and corset fit her so well, hugging every part of her body perfectly. He swears she's an angel.
“Yes, I'm okay. I'm so sorry, some guy ran into me and you happened to be here and you know.. I ran into you.'' The woman pauses, blowing air from her lips, the plump lips Jamie can't help but stare at while she's talking. “Basically what I'm saying is, I'm sorry. Can I buy you a drink?”
Buy him a drink? A very attractive, seamly sweet woman bumps into him by accident and is now offering to buy him a drink? Maybe this night isn't as bad as it seems.
“Oh no you don't have too, i promise all is good '' he says back to her, “please i insist” she again counters. “Okay fine, but i'm buying the next round if you'd like.” he says with a small smile. “Sounds good to me.” she says, returning a smile. Even her smile is perfect, he thinks to himself.
Waving down the bartender, “hi! Can I get two highmoons please!” she says smiling at the bartender, handing him a 20, telling him to keep the change, yelling a thank you. Before grabbing the two drinks in front of him, handing one to Jamie, before leaning in closer. “Do you wanna go somewhere quieter?” she whispers into his ear.
Jamie nods in response, holding out his arm out, so she can grab his hand, grabbing it quickly, warmth flooding through the both of them, as Jamie leads them through the crowded bar, back towards the table James was once at.
“Thank you, I'm sorry i couldnt hear you up there,” she quietly says, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear. “You say sorry alot, nothing to apologize for” he replies looking at her, taking her in, in a different light. She still looks beautiful. “I'm sor- actually nevermind. Oh! Im y/n” she says holding out her hand for Jamie to shake, “jamie” he says as he shakes her hand.
“So Jamie, what are you doing here?” she asks, while taking a sip of her bear. “Honestly I don't know, I didn't really want to come here tonight.”
“Me either, my friends made me come tonight, they said i needed to stop acting like a grandma, pulling me out of my comfy bed, put me in this” she says juestering to her outfit. “So now i'm here, talking to a guy..that i find cute” she finishes saying the last part quietly, hoping that Jamie did not register what she said, but he does.
“Well I'm glad you're here, you saved me from a night of boredom. Now i'm talking to this girl that i find..cute” he says leaning towards her from across the table with a smile.
“Oh really?” she says with a glimmer in her eyes
“Mhm, wouldn't say it if it wasn't true pretty girl.'' Jamie replies with a smirk on his face. “So Jamie, tell me what you do? Tell me your story” she says leaning even closer to him across the time, so close that she can make out the freckles that are scattered across his face so beautifully. “Well, where do I begin?” he laughs out before speaking again.
This is how it was the whole night, laughs, smiles, flirty remarks were being thrown around all night. Jamie telling her about his hockey career, being transferred from anaheim to philly. You couldn't imagine the excitement that spread through her when he said that, being a hockey fan herself growing up all around it thanks to her brother.
They spent hours talking about anything and everything, from childhoods, to first kisses. Being so caught up in their conversation either of them realized their full drinks were now empty, not bothering to get another.
The tension between y/n and Jamie grew over the few hours that they spent together. y/n checking her phone to see that it was now close to 2 a.m., knowing that it's probably time to head home, even though she didn't want to anyway and especially not alone.
“It's getting late” she says looking at Jamie, “oh yeah, shit it is” Jamie says glancing at his watch at the time.
“How far do you live from here? I can walk you home if you'd like?” Jamie says, hoping she says yes, not wanting this night to end just yet. “I do actually, just around the block, I'll be more than happy to have you walk me home.” y/n says smiling brightly at him.
“Well let's get you home.'' Jamie says, getting up from his seat. Once again he holds out his hand for y/n to grab, leading her through the still crowded bar towards the exit. The cool air nips at their skin as they walk outside.
“Which way?” Jamie asks now looking at y/n, taking in her features in the natural light. Even though it's dark out the street light and lights from the bar luminate her skin beautifully.
“Left” she replies, as she also takes in jamies appearance, he's even prettier outside she thinks to herself.
They began to walk in the direction of her apartment, making simple small talk as they do, their hands still closed together. After the 10 or so minute walk to her apartment, they arrive now standing outside her door.
Now standing in front of each other, Jamie realizes how much he wants to kiss her, stepping a little closer to y/n, “i'd really like to kiss you right now, if that's okay” he softly says tilting his head down closer to hers. “I'd really like you to kiss me right now” y/n whispers back to him.
Not a beat later, Jamie's lips are y/n’s, the kiss is sweet, not rushed, their lips moving together. Jamie's hands moving from beside him to her face grabbing her cheeks, pulling her close as if she's going to disappear any second. y/n’s hands finding the back of his head, tucking her fingers in between his soft black locks.
They finally pull apart after a few minutes, their chests rising and falling quickly, eyes locked together. Now she really doesnt want him to go home now, and neither is jamie. “I don't do one night stands' ' y/n quickly says, staring at Jamie, “me neither, so let's not make it a one time thing "Jamie says before finding his way back to her lips, pulling her into another kiss.
This kiss is more urgent and hotter than the last, his tongue sliding into her mouth, his hand moving down to her waist pulling her body into his.
“Jamie” she says breathlessly, as he pulls away from her lips, trails kisses down her exposed neck. Small moans are leaving her lips as she feels her knees growing weaker and weaker for him.
“Jamie” she says louder now, pulling away from him slightly. His eyes finding hers, blown with lust, “inside.” is all she says before pulling him up the steps of her apartment. Fishing her keys out of her purse to unlock the door, she can feel Jamie's front against her back, leaning down to pepper her neck with more kisses, making it harder to open her door.
Once the floor finally opens their stumbling inside, y/n dropping her purse on the floor not caring where anything goes. Their lips move together once again, as she walks them backwards further into her place.
“Jump '' Jamie mumbles against her lips, immediately following his orders, she quickly jumps wrapping her legs to his waist, Jamie walking her through her place.
“First room on the left” y/n lets out before watching her lips back jamies. Pushing the door to her room open quickly, finding her bed, tossing her back on it.
y/n’s chest rising and falling quickly as Jamie looks down at her, “you're so beautiful” he says before lowering himself between her legs and is open for his invitation.
y/n’s hands finding his hair pulling him against her again, their lips fighting against each other. Moving one of her hands from his hair to under the shirt he's wearing tracing her hand along his bare sides, feeling his muscles contract under her touch.
Wanting to feel all of him, she pulls at Jamie's shirt wanting him to take it off. Getting the message quickly Jamie lifts his lips from hers, leaning himself up and slipping his shirt off, tossing it somewhere in her bedroom before reconnecting their lips. Her hands now explore the plains of his bare back.
“Not fair that my shirt is off but yours isn't” Jamie says from above her, “well take it off then”. Jamie doesnt need to be told twice, quickly flipping them over, settling his back against the headboard, pulling her into his lap. His hands quickly found the clasps on the back of her top, unhooking them one by one, while kissing her neck. The small moans y/n lets out from above him, make him harder by the second.
Pulling the now unclasped top from her body, watching the straps fall from her shoulder, as he takes in her bare chest. He can't help but reach out to hold her breast in his hands, the smooth warm kiss pulling him in. ��fuck you’re so beautiful ” he rasps out, leaning forward, wrapping his lips around her left lip, his eyes remaining locked with y/n’s. “Fuck” she moans out, the feeling of jamie warm mouth wrapping around her nipple is sending her whole body into a blaze.
She can feel the heat between her legs grow by the second, feeling his hardened cock resting in the inside of her left thigh. Taking matters into her own hands, deciding to grind their hips together. Jamie's lips instantly fell from their assault on her breast. A strangled moan falling from his lips, as he watches her grind herself against him.
“Fuck y/n” he groans out as her hips hit just the right spot on his hardened cock. “I need you Jamie please” y/n says breathlessly, looking down at him with lust in her eyes.
Flipping them over again, Jamie starts making his way to her pants, kissing down her body, until he gets to her top button. Looking up at her making sure it's okay before he takes them off, “yes please” y/n says lifting her hips up to help him take them off. Her pants are off now, just leaving her in her white cotton underwear.
Jamie leaning back on his heels, taking a good look at her. “There's so many things i want to do to you right now” Jamie says, while trailing his hands up her bare legs, spreading her thighs getting a better look at the wet patch that’s now formed on her underwear from how wet she is.
“Please do something, Jamie please.” y/n sys getting more antster by the second. “Where do you want me, pretty girl?” Jamie says before pressing a kiss to her core, breathing her scent, his mouth watering instantly. “I want you to fuck me, please”. “Okay pretty girl, since you've been so good to me, '' he says. Working to undo his belt and pants, unbuttoning them before pulling them down his legs. “I wanna see all of you Jamie” y/n whines out too. “You will baby, you will, but first i wanna taste you” he says, now hooking his fingers under her underwear. “Is that okay, baby?” pressing kisses to the inside of her thighs, waiting for her response.
y/n’s brain is mush she can hardly think, he's barely touched her and she's already out of it. “Yes' ' she says finally, looking down at him, Jamie remains in eye contact as he pulls her underwear down her legs. The soft fabric hitting her ankles before completely pulling them off her body. Her body now completely exposed to Jamie, usually she'd run to cover herself up, but the way he's looking down on her body, like he wants to eat her alive, is changing her mind.
“I've thought about how you'd taste, all night” kissing his way back to her core. Pressing a soft kiss to it, before spreading her lips, finding her clit immediately. “Oh my god” y/n moans out her back lifting from the bed. Jamie hands pinning her hips down. His tongue begins exploring her cunt, sucking and licking every part of her as he could. The sounds coming out from above him are music to his ears, he never wants to stop hearing them.
“Fuck jamie right there” y/n says a certian thrust of his tongue in her cunt, has her hands flying to his hair, pushing his face furthe into her cunt. Jamie doesn't let up, continuing to lap her up like a starving man.
“Im almost there fuck. Please done stop” and jamie doesnt, sliping a finger into her tight hole, he begins fucking her with is fingers, his lips still wrapped around her clit. Don't stop and ragged moans fall from her lips as she begins to cum. “Im cumming fuck” y/n moans out, jamie increases his pace, fucking her with two fingers now, feeling her seize around them.
Her head pushed as far into the pillow as it can go, her jaw open as she cums, her legs shaking as she tries to close them., but jamies strong hands hold them open, as he continues to fuck through her orgasm.
y/n’s chest falling and rising quickly, trying to recover from her orgasim, lifting her head down to look at Jamie, who's looking back at her. “Fuck.” is all he says before climbing back up the bed to her, reconnecting their lips. Tasting herself in his mouth makes her mind go dizzy. “Need you fuck me jamie” y/n whines pulling back to look him in the eyes. “Want to ride you, please” trailing one of her hands to his hardened cock in his boxers, running her fingertips along the covered ridged length, her mouth watering, at the feeling.
“Yes, pretty girl” he moans, dropping his head into her neck, as he feels her hand run across his hard-on. Pulling himself off of her, slipping back into a sitting position in her bed, y/n helping him pull his boxers down. His hardened cock falling out, precome painted along the tip, his pretty cock staring at her, begging her to put her mouth on it.
Moving her hands to the base of his cock, the weight of it in her hands, causes her to let out a low moan. Jamie's mouth hanging open, looking at her with half hooded eyes waiting for her next move. Settling her thighs on either side of his thighs rubbing her thumb over his precum covered tip, Jamie moans out from above her. “Baby please do something” he says urgently, grabbing her hips, helping her lift up, y/n lines up his cock with her entrance, slowly sinking down on it.
“Oh my gosh” y/n says once she's fully sat on his length, jamies hands are hips hold her in place. Their eyes finding each other again, “you look so beautiful” he says, bringing his hands to her face, pulling her into a soft kiss, y/n smiling into the kiss as she begins lifting herself slowly from his cock. Jamie lets out a moan against her mouth as she skinks back down on him.
The room begins to get hotter as each snap of y/n’s hips against jamies, moans and pants fill the room. “Fuck y/n” jamie groans out to her, watching her slide down on his cock, the way her hair is falling around her face, the soft glow of light in room, highlights the thin layer of sweat that covers her body as she rides him.
The grip Jamie has on her hips begins to tighten as he feels her tighten around her, his own orgasim also approaching. “Im almost there fuck jamie” y/n says dropping her head into his neck. “I can feel you baby, doing so good for me” leaning forward as he kisses and sucks on her exposed neck. “Look so pretty riding my cock pretty girl,” Jamie says, moving his hips to meet her thrusts. “Jamie dont stop, fuck im almost there”.
Each snap of their hips against each other is pure magic, the sounds of their skin smacking along with their moans will enter the room. Before y/n can realize she’s cumming, her lips finding jamies as she does, her hips still moving up and down his cock. “Im cumming baby” Jamie moans out, as he goes to pull y/n off of him, grabbing his hands she stops him, “cum inside me please, im clean, on the pill.” she says looking into his eyes she can tell he’s almost there.
“Please jamie, i want to feel you cum inside of me”, thats all it takes before jamie begins to fall apart above her, smashing his lips to hers as he cums, y/n continuing to fuck him through it, the movement of her hips never stopping.
Her hips slowly stop moving, now just resting sitting in Jamie's lap, the sound of their breathing is the only thing you can hear in the room. Jamie bringing his hand to her face lifting it up to look in her eyes ``that was..” he trails off, struggling trying to find the right words. “That was amazing” y/n says finishing his thought with her own words. “Yeah it was,” he chuckles before giving her a soft kiss.
“We should go get cleaned up” she says after a few moments, Jamie nodding his head in agreement. y/n lifting off him slowly, already missing the feeling of him inside her. Getting up from her bed, leading them to her bathroom, turning on the shower climbing, Jamie followed in suit with a smile on his face.
The shower was sweet and soft taking turns washing each other, stealing a few kisses from each other once and awhile. It almost all felt too domestic, something the both of them could get used too. Climbing out of the shower, y/n handing him a towel, as she begins to dry herself off she can feel Jamie staring at her. “Everything okay?” she asks, “more than okay, didnt think my might would turn out like this” he says, taking a few steps closer to y/n grabbing her by the hips pulling her closer. “But i'm not complaining” he says with a smile, “and neither am i” she counters before leaning in for a kiss, wrapping her arms around him.
Jamie picks her up once again, carrying her to her bedroom, laying her back down before reconnecting their lips. This is how they spend the night, all wrapped up and each other, their connection they share blossoming by each touch.
–
Ever since their first night together Jamie and y/n have been texting nonstop. both their schedules are super busy so they haven't been able to see each other again. That all changes tonight.
“y/n pleaseeee” cam says on the other side of the call. “I'll never ask you for anything ever again, if you come tonight. All the guys wanna see you.” he pleads again. Rubbing my head at my desk, trying to come up with an excuse to not go to a charity event the flyers are throwing but i can't come up with anything. “Okay okay, please shut up and stop begging me i’ll come with you” i finally say. “You're actually the best sister ever, I'll pick you up at 7 and wear something fancy! Gotta go to practice! Bye love you!” Cam quickly says before ending the call.
I stare at my phone in disbelief before getting back to work again, 7 o’clock can't come fast enough.
Trying to find something to wear to this event is going to kill me. Every dress I put on I hate. It's either two flashy or too borning. Maybe i just shouldn't go, i say to myself, knowing cam would actually kill me if i didn't. Settling on a simple black dress, quickly finishing my hair and makeup. Checking my phone to see that cam texted me that he's outside. Slipping on my shoes checking on my makeup before heading out the door.
My phone dinging from a text message, seeing that Jamie texted me “wish you were here with me tonight, at this work event” it reads. Smiling before sending a quickly before getting into cam’s car.
“Who's got you smiling at your phone?” is the first thing he says to me. “None of your business, don't make me leave and go back inside '' I say while snapping my seatbelt into place.
“Okay fine” he says before pulling off, making his way to the event. Small talk fills the car, as we catch up, I find myself wishing I saw my brother more. Even with us living in the same city, we barely have time to see each other, his hockey schedule and demanding work schedule keep us from seeing each other.
“Oh guess who will be there tonight?” Cam says, putting the car into park before handing his key to the valet , muttering a small thank you before heading over to my side, opening the door for me. “Who?” I ask , stepping out of the car. “My roommate, the one I told you about who transferred here a few months ago. He also plays defense. Really sweet I'm sure you guys will hit it off, "Cam says, winking at the last part. “Okay buddy, let's calm down.” I say laughing as Cam holds his arm for me to take.
The event itself is amazing, the music, decor, everything about it, I barely have time to take it all in before cam pulls me over to a group of his teammates, throwing me into conversation with them. Sometime during our conversations Cam runs off saying he's going to find his roommate who I have not yet caught the name of, and to grab us drinks.
Turning to talk to one of the wags that are there, I hear my name being called from behind, turning around to see Cam with drinks in his hand and Jamie standing right next to him. Jamie? What is Jamie doing here? And how does he know my brother?
“y/n there you are!” Cam says, handing a drink to me, “y/n this is my roommate Jamie, the one who transferred from the ducks! And Jamie this is my sister y/n” my eyes are wide as I stare at Jamie, I'm sure all of the color has left my face, jamies staring back at me just as shocked as I am.
“Hello guys?” Cam breaks the silence. “Do you two know each other?” he asks again, glancing back and forth between us. Still neither of us respond, just continuing to stare at each other. “Well since either of you are responding im going to take my drink, and your drink: he says plucking my drink out my hands. “And I'm going to go congregate, have fun! Introduce yourselves…unless you two have already done that already bye!” and just like that he’s gone faster than he came.
“Hi?” I say speaking first. “You didn't tell me your brother played for the flyers' 'Jamie quickly says. “Im sorry, i didn't mean to hide it from you, it's not something i want people to know me for.'' I say, pausing before taking a deep breath, “I didn't know you were Cam's roommate. He talks about you all the time.'' I say laughing awkwardly, shifting on my feet, scared of where we stand now.
“Well I both think we left out important details, didn't we?” Jamie says, flashing me a smile, reaching out to grab my waist pulling me closer to him. “You look gorgeous, I missed you” he says leaning into my neck. “I missed you too, you look really good.”, my eyes moving over the simple, yet sexy suite he’s wearing.
“Imagine if we just happened to leave at the same time.” Jamie says into my ear husklely. “Imagine if I happen to say that's a great idea and follow you?” I say, biting my lip to conceal my smile. Grabbing my hand pulling me behind him, through the crowded event, leading her out the back door.
Neither of them realized the cam’s eyes had not left them since he walked away, seeing their whole interaction, seeing them leave the venue together. A smile dancing across his face, happy for his sister and his teammate. Wondering how long they would try to keep it a secret from him.

Hello again, nonny!
Oh god, I'm so sorry how long this request took me to make.
I really wanted to make your request since you seem really sweet, but I struggled so much! I changed formats and ideas for your request at least 20 times and I'm so burnt out both creatively and in my personal life.
I'm not fully satisfied with my work, I feel like this piece could've been a bit better. But anyways I really hope you'll find the final results acceptable, and I'm again sorry for the way too long wait.

🍎🎶//Not such an awful colour after all...//🎶🍎
(Lilith and Lucifer x gender-neutral!imp!reader)
___________________________________________
Type: Fanfic
Settings: Romantic
Genre: Fluff, though a bit of hurt/comfort feel,
!TRIGGER WARNING!: Reader is hinted to be lonely and maybe a little depressed, hints of Reader having been mistreated in the past, occasional swear words used, idk if it's a trigger but Lucifer is a little awkward at interacting with gender-neutral reader at first (but he's supportive!), mentions of typical Hazbin Hotel stuff like hell, violence, etc., I believe the interaction between Lucifer and Lilith will give you second-hand embarrassment (but I imagine them being this lovey-dovey with each other, sorry), reader is also quite awkward and you'll probably also have second-hand embarrassment from this, and maybe a bit of not-sexual predator/prey feel in some parts is you squint (really not intended in a sexual way), and that should be all!
Sidenote: Reader is written as gender-neutral as per request. But if reader seems to be leaning towards more feminine sense, it's purely unintentional and I apologize!
Sidenote: Lucifer's portrayal is based off what we've seen in the show. As for Lilith, she's written as how the fandom's been portraying her before official release,
Sidenote: It's possible that reader might be a little neurodivergent coded. I just wrote what felt natural to me, and since I'm not a neurotypical, it might've affected Reader's portrayal,
_
That should be all,
Enjoy,
___________________________________________
Ah, those skies of red. Those sweet skies of red, they're all you've ever known.
Just those skies of red. And streets painted in blood, their shade makes you feel at home.
Skies of red, bloodied streets. As well as endless labyrinths bathing in the shade of ruby.
This is what makes up your entire world as a whole.
What makes up every twist, and every corner, even the littlest of crannies.
The colour of red - it seems to be an ever present companion.
A never leaving company, one that cannot be escaped no matter where you go.
Perhaps it is a punishment given to the sinners - to spend eternity in a sea of blood.
And only have a few distant memories of all the colours life holds.
A punishment to daily remind sinners of that one simple truth.
That just like the Pride ring is drained of colours, they themselves are drained of humanity.
At least, that's what's being passed on as the truth...
You yourself are not one of them, you're not a soul lost to sin and temptation.
And yet, you live the same exact way they do - in a single colour world.
Which is the only world you have ever known.
You may be an imp, sure.
You may have the upper hand over sinners, being able to travel outside Pride.
However, hell works just the same way the human world does.
At least in some ways.
Same as with humans, if you in hell don't have the means, the only travelling you can afford is taking out the trash.
And that's all. Nothing more, nothing less.
If we're bring honest here, you actually don't feel like you have the upper hand in this.
Especially considering the fact you're a lowly imp that can barely make a living.
If anything, you would say that sinners are the ones in the lead here.
Because they had experienced something you'd never have - a life outside of hell.
Before getting to hell, all sinners got to experience all the wonders of life.
Especially all those beautiful colours life could hold and come with - something you could only dream of.
You often wonder, though, just how it must feel to have everything you know taken away.
First having everything, and then ending up in a place that lacks most of what used to make up your whole world.
It's a pretty good punishment for sins if you think about it long and hard enough.
But you still don't think it's fair this punishment to see nothing but shades of red involves you too.
You never did anything wrong, and yet you live the same way sinners do.
And that's a fact you've still not accepted, and you probably never will.
The other imps in the Pride ring never seemed to be as bothered by this though.
They never really agreed with your desire of wanting more than just this.
Not even those that were the same as you - without the option to travel or move out of Pride.
Even your own parents always said that you were making this into too much of a big deal.
They didn't understand you, just like none of the other imps around you did.
That fact alone has always made you feel really singled out throughout your whole life.
You felt alone, and like no one really got you or your frustrations regarding living in a single colour world.
You felt like such an oddball - and the other imps didn't really help on that regard.
Most of them would point their fingers at you, and ridicule you.
You experienced that treatment especially when you were younger, still a naive little child.
Because back then you didn't know it was better to keep your mouth shut if your opinions didn't match what the rest thought.
You didn't know any better, but eventually, you've learned to keep such things to yourself.
You had to if you didn't want to continue being lonely and mistreated.
And so, you've pushed your distaste for the colour of red aside, never mentioning it ever again.
Or well, that's how it was until a really unusual and extraordinary day.
On one certain day, a beautiful, vividly turquoise rose was found in Pride.
And it was such an unusual sight that the petite little flower was taken and placed into a museum.
Yet, no one really seemed to care for that small little bloom.
No one really rushed to the museum building to see that little piece of miracle.
No one was excited about it.
No one except you.
It sure felt lonely all over again to be the only one there.
The only one standing in front of the flower secured behind the protective glass.
The only one eagerly wanting to take in every little detail of the flower with true and genuine enthusiasm.
But at the moment you finally got to live your childhood dreams, it didn't really matter.
It was not your loss, it was your gain.
And so, you stood there, gazing fondly at the petite bloom.
And as you did so, you eventually found yourself talking to the flower gently.
"Aren't you just the prettiest little thing all of hell's ever seen?".
You melted over the little miracle as if it could hear.
You spoke to it, letting those turquoise petals know just how much you admired them.
And you could've cared less about whether or not you looked silly.
This was a dream come true - and you've made sure that the little thing knew.
"You have no idea how much I've been wishing for something like you to happen here in hell...".
You found yourself confessing, telling the flower all you've kept inside for years and years.
All of what you've had to push aside and share with no one until this single moment.
And it felt amazing to finally let it all out after suppressing it all for so long.
Even if that small thing probably couldn't even hear or understand any of what you've shared.
Even if all you got in response was just and only deafening silence.
Silence that reminded you that you're the only one around.
The only one to have these certain thoughts regarding your hatred for the colour of red.
And your frustrations about your desires to see more of the colours life can hold.
You really were all alone on this one it seemed...
"Truly a sight to see, am I right?".
A voice broke you out of your thoughts.
And you then found yourself facing a stranger.
An ordinary height man - one with porcelain skin and golden locks for hair.
And two vividly yellow pools for eyes, with their centers of blood red.
Blood red - that one damn, awful shade that you held so much hatred for.
And yet, despite that, you had to admit that the man was quite the looker.
And he definitely knew how to dress - all fancy, and, dare you'd say, flawless.
Well, flawless if you ignored the presence of the colour red in his attire.
But nonetheless, he was truly something you could stare at for hours and not get bored.
And it was quite the surprise that such a man would approach someone like you.
A lowly imp - a creature beneath nearly all of hell kind.
"I wasn't talking about myself, you know?".
The man's voice brought you out of your thoughts for the second time today.
And as his teasing words settled in, you realize that you've been caught staring at him!
A blush immediately covered your face at that realization.
And you profoundly attempted to apologize, stumbling over your words as you did.
The stranger, however, didn't seem all too bothered, nor did he seem disgusted.
If anything, he looked amused, and the warm chuckle he gave reassured you about that assumption.
"Oh, it's nothing to get worked up over,".
The man silenced you gently, waving his hand dismissively.
"I am aware of the effect I have on women, men...".
He went on casually before pausing, and looking you up and down.
"As well as pretty little things such as yourself...".
He grinned at you seductively, but then you could almost see the gears turning in his head.
And as his eyes widened at what seemed to be a realization, his face shifted to a look of panic.
"Sorry- am I allowed to call you a thing? That's not offensive, is it?".
He questioned, making your embarrassment ease up.
He seemed as socially awkward as you at that certain moment.
And you couldn't help but smile as he sputtered some more.
"Fuck- sorry, would it be more acceptable to call you a pretty little person?".
The stranger asked, looking genuinely panicked about the situation.
But before you could reassure him, he went on a tangent.
"Wait- that's probably-".
He sputtered, stumbling over his words without catching a break.
It would be quite a comical sight to see - Him, a gorgeous demon - stressing over possibly having insulted a mere imp.
And to the point of nearly crumbling and begging for forgiveness too.
Truly a scene one doesn't get to see on the daily basis.
You might've even laughed at him if only you didn't feel quite bad for him.
He was obviously a decent person and meant well.
Which was not something you see in hell everyday either.
"Sorry! I've not romanced a gender nonconfirming individual before,".
The man chuckled awkwardly, nervously reaching out with his hand to fix his hat.
But then he almost seemed to choke back on his own chuckle before he, as if in a rush, added:
"-but I'm not actually trying to romance you! I'm just-".
He didn't get to finish his ramblings as you've decided to finally ease his nerves.
"It's all good, no worries,".
You gently cut the stranger off with a friendly chuckle.
And you even offered a soft smile to add to your reassurance.
You genuinely didn't want for this man to stress himself out - he seemed quite sweet.
"You did pretty well for your first time,".
You added in a light-hearted voice, feeling the need to relax the man further.
And to your words, the stranger responded with a surprised blink of his eyes, and his mouth going agape.
But that reaction was short lived as he soon grinned, looking pretty proud of himself.
"I did?".
Was the following verbal answer your reassurance received.
And being the good-natured person you were, you nodded in confirmation.
You didn't get annoyed with him, you actually enjoyed this interaction a lot.
It was like a breath of fresh air to finally talk to someone real.
And someone who was friendly and not a mean-spirited bitch at that!
"Wow, that's... That's a huge relief!".
The stranger chuckled again, but this time it was less awkward, and more warm and relaxed.
"It sure wouldn't do my reputation any good if I were to insult one of my subjects,".
He mused casually while tugging a little at his coat and fixing it to his liking.
"even if by complete accident,".
He added, but then his previous words sunk in, and you had to do a double take.
What did he mean by 'subjects'?
"Um... subjects?".
You voiced your thoughts and confusion, to which the man, still grinning, raised an eyebrow.
"Well, yeah?".
The stranger said with a voice tone that hinted it should be obvious, as if there was no place for confusion.
But you only stared at the man, clearly not getting the memo.
Yet, the man didn't seem offended, he actually seemed more amused than anything.
"Wait, you actually-?".
He broke put into a short, yet hearty laugh as he gripped onto his hat.
He laughed, but he didn't seem to be ridiculing you or have any ill will.
He just seemed to find the whole situation entertaining.
"My- oh, my!".
The stranger's laughter died down, only a few low chuckles leaving him as he uttered those words.
"Now that's something I don't see every day! You don't really do politics, do you?".
He asked you with a playful smirk, his sharp teeth peeking out from under his upper lip.
And you answered with a shake of your head, confirming the man's suspicions.
"Ah, that explains it,".
The stranger mused as he casually leaned onto his cane in the shape of an apple.
"Well, fortunately for you,".
The man began after a short pause, his eyes half-lidded and relaxed.
With a laid-back grin to complete the look.
"I'm not really one of those stuck-up royals who quite literally lose their shit over people not recognizing them,".
He gave a warm chuckle, along with a look of the same warmth as his laugh.
Like sweet honey stirred into a warm cup of tea.
Then, the stranger with the eyes of ruby put his free hand on his hip.
And he casually crossed his legs, all while still leaning against his cane.
He made his pose look so easy, and completely effortless. Like he had no weight the cane needed to support.
It was quite impressive.
And you wondered whether the man really weighed close to nothing.
Or if it was some sleight of hand kinda deal used to gain admiration from others.
Well, whichever case it were, the cane was perfectly still and straight.
As if the handsome demon wasn't even leaning on it.
"Yeah, that's not really my style,".
You heard the male say, drawing your attention back to him instead of the spear-like cane.
And you looked at the male just in time, because you got to see him casually checking his nails at the end of his statement.
Or well, you got to see him looking at where his nails would be as the stranger had black gloves on, giving no access to his nails.
But still, the gesture got the point across.
You understood the action was to deliver his words in a more smug and careless fashion.
Like he saw himself as above the rest of the popular demons.
And maybe as if he looked down on the others.
Not others as in low class.
Others as in the other royals, those who felt insulted if one didn't recognize them.
But that's beside the point.
What mattered more than how he said it, was the context of what he said.
Because the message that sunk in was clear - this man was a high class it seemed.
"Oh... so, you're a royal...?".
You found yourself saying in a way that made it seem like you were asking.
Like you weren't just repeating what was said to you, but like you wanted to hear a confirmation.
But despite that though, the voice tone you spike in wasn't really impressed nor intimidated.
Unlike what would've been expected of you upon such a find.
But your reaction was genuine, contrary to what one might think.
You truly weren't really impressed or intimidated by the revelation - you didn't find any reason to be.
One could call you naive, but you didn't feel the need to cower or be in awe.
Because this handsome demon didn't seem to want that sort of thing.
At least, that's what you assumed based on your interaction so far.
For the demon acted like a normal and ordinary demon, an equal to you even.
And not just that - he's been sweet and considerate the entire time too!
Not to mention you never got just why were royals such a big deal.
So, your disinterest in the man's status was your genuine reaction, it was no act.
"Sure am,"
The stranger nodded in agreement with your words, a low grin decorating his flawless face.
And you couldn't help but feel this laid-back aura coming off him, he seemed like he had little to no care in the world.
And he gazed at you with soft eyes that welcomed you in despite how much you despised their colour.
Oh, and the way he looked at you...
It made you feel like he wasn't bothered by your lack of reaction or lack of appeal for the fact he was a hight class.
It actually felt like he appreciated it. And his next words seemed like a confirmation of that.
"but, you don't have to worry your pretty little head about it,"
He waved his hand dismissively before addressing you with a:
"my dear little any-colour-but-red enthusiast.".
And the way he's addressed you made you pause.
And as your eyes widened, you had to do a double take.
You needed to let the title he's given you fully sink in.
And oh, when it did, your entire being filled shame and embarrassment.
Because if you got it right, then the man's heard your one-sided chat with the flower!
That one embarrassing heart to heart conversation no one was supposed to hear...
"Wait-".
You muttered, feeling your face beginning to heat up.
"you... you heard me...?".
You asked, and you couldn't even say anything more.
You were so embarrassed!
If one could die from shame, you'd be found dead right on your spot at least twice.
And yet, a part of you still hoped the male wouldn't confirm your worries.
A part of you still believed the situation wasn't so bad.
But then all your hopes were shattered.
"Mhm, I sure did,"
The handsome stranger confirmed much to your dismay.
And you were internally screeching.
You were caught sharing your frustrations with a petite bloom.
Talk about awkward.
You were surprised the stranger didn't run from you.
Fuck, this embarrassing moment was gonna stay on your mind til you die.
Even on your death bed this moment would be in your head on repeat.
"Oh my fucking-".
You sputtered and buried your face into your hands.
And you couldn't stop the involuntary, annoyed groan at the situation.
"I... damn... I'm sorry you had to see that...".
You eventually managed to tell the stranger after getting the courage to face him again.
"I would swear to you thar I'm not as odd as I may look right now,"
You went on, despite not knowing why exactly.
You felt the need to explain yourself, make yourself look better.
But you couldn't really.
"but I, unfortunately, do shit like that pretty often,"
Followed your confession.
Being true was the key, right?
Maybe it'd help in your case? You didn't count on
it.
And yet, the friendly demon surprised you.
"That's quite alright,"
You heard him chuckle.
And just like you previously reassured him, now he was to reassure you.
"if anything, I think you're quite endearing.".
He reassured you, voice warm and sweet, just like his eyes and the look he was giving you were.
And you did feel a bit calmer after his words for sure, although you still couldn't get over the fact this man's heard everything.
After all, what you told the flower wasn't something you'd tell just anyone. Let alone to someone you didn't know at all.
But then, the male spoke up again.
"And, between you and me...".
He started, looking into your eyes.
And then, he said those words you've always wanted to hear.
"I agree with you, hell could use more colour.".
There it was. Those words no one's ever told you. Those words you've always craved to hear.
Someone was agreeing with you and sharing your frustrations.
It felt like a dream.
You needed to pinch yourself, just to be sure this was real.
Your ears weren't deceiving you, were they?
"You... you really think so?".
You asked the stranger, your voice low, words cautious.
You didn't want to risk anything.
Your thoughts were racing, you were all tense, and you almost held back your breath as you waited for the man's response.
The male was quiet for a bit, prolonging your nervousness.
But it didn't seem like it was deliberately to make you suffer.
Since his expression softened - his grin was less wide, less smug.
And his eyes held something in them that was hard to read.
It seemed like recognition or compassion...
And maybe if one looked close enough, they would see a hint of sadness and longing.
As if, long time ago, the man's lost something he cherished dearly.
You've never seen anyone look like that.
And maybe this was why you felt the stranger's words were true.
That he was sick of living in a world made of shades of red just like you were.
"Yes, I do,".
He nodded, melancholia taking over the demon's features.
"Losing the opportunity to witness all the colours life can carry is something I mourn over from time to time...".
He confessed to you as he stood straight again, hus stance no longer relaxed, and he gazed longingly at the turquoise rose.
"You know, when I'm in a certain mood...".
He added with a bit lighter tone and a soft smile sent your way.
As if he was trying to make his words seem more light-hearted and not bring the mood down.
His words made a few questions arise in your head.
He confessed to have known a world filled with colours, which would hint at him being a sinner.
But then again, he said he was a royal, so he couldn't be a sinner.
It was confusing, and you had several questions, but you didn't have it in you to ask.
Instead you remained silent, gaze fixating on those turquoise petals.
Yet, you didn't leave the stranger without a reaction.
It may have been daring, maybe even improper, to do this to a royal, but you felt it was the right thing to do.
And so, you gently placed a consoling hand on the man's arm.
And when the male looked at you with a surprised look, you offered a soft smile and eyes full of compassion.
A look to let him know he wasn't alone in this.
And that gesture seemed to mean a lot to the demon as he offered a light smile back, his eyes seeming more lively after your act.
And you two exchanged a gaze of understanding one another, both of you feeling seen.
And then, the two of you gazed back at the turquoise rose, both of you admiring it in silence.
But this time neither of you were alone. This time you both had someone there with you. Someone to share this special moment with.
This was a moment that meant more than any personal possessions - this moment meant everything.
Yet, getting to have everything at one moment doesn't necessarily mean you'll get to keep that everything.
Such moments were a matter of a few minutes, not a lifetime.
And the reminder of this simple truth, came in a form of a voice.
A female voice that awoke a sense of familiarity in you.
Yet, you could not remember where you've heard that voice before.
And and picturing the owner has proven to be even more hard - it was out of the question.
"Ah, there you are!".
A female voice rang through the empty museum halls.
The sound it carried was smooth and feminine, with elegance.
And it evoked a cozy feeling, if that even makes sense.
There was also this slight raspy quality to it, yet the voice was sweet.
Pleasant to the ears.
You and the handsome stranger both turned around.
And the sight you were met with - oh how to even describe it?
You almost found yourself doubting that you were still standing in hell.
Because you could've sworn you were literally seeing an angel.
The woman that approached was like a divine painting.
Her figure was well-endowed, with long and thin legs.
And her face was sharp and flawless, looking as if made up by angels.
As if to add to her beauty - she had blonde long hair.
And that hair draped over her body all the way to the floor.
Like a veil made of gold.
She truly looked like a being straight out of heaven.
And you would dare to say that she rivaled all the depictions of Eve you've heard of.
Though there was one thing ruining the divine image of hers.
And those were her horns.
Wine red, long and curled horns decorating her head.
"Lili!".
The blond male next to you perked up.
He eagerly waved the woman over, a wide smile on his face.
His sharp teeth exposed.
His entire person appeared to have completely livened up.
Contrary to how solemn he was with you just a few moments back.
"My one and only! Where have you been?".
He asked the woman.
Or well, Lili - as he's addressed her.
And he gazed at her with pure adoration, excitement written all over his face.
And the demon stepped forward with a fond look.
"I could've sworn you were by my side the whole time before- poof- and you were gone!".
The handsome demon went on.
His pace of speech was fast and energized.
And he was almost jumbling his words together in the process.
And with his gesticulation coming on strong, the male had a truly disorganized look to him.
He looked as if his thoughts and emotions were all over the place.
As if they were going millions of miles per second.
It was quite a wholesome sight to see.
The previously seemingly well-composed man turning into a little ball of energy?
Just because he laid his eyes on the much taller demoness?
That was a truly cute and wholesome moment, a heartwarming moment even, if you'd dare to say.
"But that's not what happened, Luci."
The demoness responded to the shorter demon.
Or well, Luci, if we're going by how he was addressed.
And the female chuckled warmly.
She didn't seem bothered by the male's antics.
Instead, they seemed to be something she adored and held dear.
And the look in her lilac eyes held nothing but devotion.
Matching the one in the red eyes of 'Luci'.
Then, at her response, the male demon looked confused.
"It's not?".
He questioned, to which 'Lili' shook her head, chuckling again.
And then came the following answer:
"No, not quite. It was actually you who wandered off.".
'Luci' seemed taken aback by the reply,.
And pointing to himself as he questioned further:
"Me?".
'Lili' then nodded softly.
The fond look never leaving her face.
"Are you- are you sure? I don't remember it happening like that...".
The blond male then mused, his brows furrowing.
And gripping his chin in thought, he puckered up his lips.
He seemed genuinely confused about the whole thing.
Which made him look quite silly.
Though you yourself, personally, found the look quite cute.
And 'Lili' probably shared your view on that matter.
Because she chuckled melodiously.
Which was a truly heavenly sound to your ears.
And as she did, she seemed to almost melt over the male.
"And how do you remember it, dear?".
She questioned, and her lilac eyes held a comforting feeling.
Like that one of summer evening.
When it's getting dark and everything is cooling down.
Getting to breathe and rest.
With a campfire nearby, a good chilly drink in hand.
And the sound of crickets in the background.
A warm, yet still cooling feeling.
"Well, first we were holding hands..."
'Luci' began to explain to his female companion.
And as if on cue, his strong gesticulation began anew.
And with that, he followed through with:
"Then we stopped by those Lust jewels - y'know, those Asmodeus used to wear before eventually donating them here,".
Then he paused for a moment.
He seemed to be trying to remember the rest of the details.
"Then, I noticed the signs about the new expositions...".
He added after a moment of silence.
A pause, and then eyes seemed to sparkle.
Almost as if he's made some sort of accomplishment.
He most likely managed to remember more details of what's happened.
At least, that's what you've guessed.
"Oh, yeah!".
The handsome male chirped eagerly.
And he almost jumped on his spot as he went ahead to fill in the rest of what's happened.
At least according to him:
"And then I go: Look, Lili! The sign here says the turquoise rose is on the upper floor! Come!".
He said, imitating, what you assumed, were his previous actions and words.
"And I rushed upstairs while leaving you by the Lust jewels.".
The demon finished casually as he smiled.
He seemed so proud of himself for remembering everything.
But then, his yellow eyes widened, everything apparently sinking in.
"Oohh, yeah... It really was me who wandered off,".
He muttered as an embarrassed and disappointed look took over his features.
"You were right, yeah...".
'Luci' admitted, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly all while 'Lili' had a knowing look.
It was that smug 'I told you so' look, but without the ill-will in it.
Instead the look held a playful feel.
A playful feel like that of a simple lovey-dovey banter.
A lovey-dovey banter with no hard feelings.
"Oh, Lili- my love!".
The handsome male called dramatically.
And he took ahold of the taller demoness' hands, squeezing them.
"I have committed such shameful act! Can you ever forgive me, my queen?".
He asked in such a over exaggerated, over dramatic voice.
And he looked a few seconds away from dropping to his knees.
Possibly to loudly and unnecessarily plead for forgiveness.
But that wasn't all yet, because 'Luci' added to the scene.
'Luci' began planting soft kisses onto the female's hands.
Yeah, that wasn't really a scene you'd care to watch.
Talk about uncomfortable.
You just had to look away from the two.
And not only was the scene unpleasant to witness.
But you also didn't want to be seen as some kind of perverted freak.
Like, being caught watching this sort of scene?
Yeah, that wasn't on your bucket list.
And so, you directed your focus back on the turquoise rose.
You wanted to give the two the privacy they probably should have.
And surprisingly, it wasn't as hard to tune the two out.
If you focused on the little bloom hard enough, that is.
You were only brought back to the conversation when you heard yourself being mentioned.
"And who's your friend, Lulu?".
The blonde female asked as her gaze met yours.
Her lilac eyes flashed red for a moment and the shade made you really uncomfortable.
It made you want to shrink, if not straight up run away.
And it was hard to tell if you felt that way because of how much you hated the colour red.
Or if it was because the woman's gaze was suddenly so strict and intimidating.
She seemed to be sizing you up, analyzing, judging...
But before you could muster up the courage to introduce yourself, 'Luci' did it for you.
Or well, he attempted to do so.
"Oh! That! That's...".
He eagerly attempted to introduce you.
Motioning to you with his hand as he grinned wide.
But when the blond male realized he actually didn't know your name, he let his hand drop back to his side.
And he chuckled awkwardly.
"I actually have no idea!".
He chuckled awkwardly, making you feel somewhat more nervous.
The way 'Lili' studied you left you quite uneasy and all tense, you were a little panicked.
Because suddenly a thought came to your head.
What if the woman could see you as some sort of homewrecker?
As someone trying to get with the male she so obviously dated?
That thought caused a tight feeling in your chest.
You found it hard to breathe.
And 'Luci' wasn't making it much better, despite not having any ill intent.
At least you hope he didn't.
"I guess we just got a little lost in our conversation,".
The male said.
He sounded much more casual with this statement.
And he fixed his hat a little.
"Isn't that right, my any-colour-but-red enthusiast?".
'Luci' addressed you with a grin.
Pulling you into the conversation without giving you any time to prepare.
Yeah, he wasn't making this situation any easier to handle.
And not having expected to be involved in the chat, your mind went all blank.
You had not anticipated that.
You were not prepared for this scenario.
So, the only reaction you could come up with was an awkward smile.
An awkward smile and a quick nod sent towards the tall female.
You really hoped that if 'Lili' was reading between the lines, she'd see it really was just an innocent interaction.
An innocent interaction and nothing more.
"Ah, I see... how sweet".
'Lili' hummed.
Unbothered, unphased - that's how you'd describe her.
She seemed so well-composed and proper in every way.
Even all of her movements were just so elegant and correct.
If that makes sense.
Natural - that's another words you'd use for the female.
All her responses seemed just so natural and right.
Especially compared to you.
Yeah, nothing about her said 'socially awkward', unlike how it was in your case.
And, as if that wasn't enough - she was also truly hard to read.
You couldn't tell what she was thinking, she was unpredictable.
She could be planning on tearing you apart and you'd never be able to tell!
And that made the demoness so much more intimidating to you.
Especially considering you had a feeling that, unlike you, she could read you perfectly.
That, or she could be potentially misreading you - that would definitely make things worse.
"And I take it your little chat must've been quite entertaining if you've managed to hold my dear husband's attention for so long,"
The blonde's lilac gaze bore into yours once again.
Her long eyelashes gave her eyes a thin and sharp look.
They were like two black, massive folded fans.
You couldn't tell if they were natural lashes or false ones.
Anyways, her words were followed by a smirk - one that made you feel unsafe.
Predatory, dangerous - that was the air her smirk carried.
And you felt like you were about to fall prey to the demoness.
Like you were going to meet the same fate a little mouse meets at the claws of a cat.
Even the female's pupils seemed to be cat-like slits, as if to only add to that feeling.
And you were so sure that 'Lili' would've pounced on you.
If only 'Luci' didn't chime in.
"Hey! My attention span isn't so bad!".
The male demon called, hands on his hips as he looked quite offended.
Yet, he smiled playfully afterwards.
So, it was safe to assume that he wasn't truly as insulted as it may have seemed.
And another argument for that claim would be the man's next actions.
For his body took a much more relaxed stance, and he added:
"But yeah, yeah, it was a good chat,".
And he then simply fixed his hat a little as it previously nearly slipped off his head when he so intensely perked up at his wife's little jab at his person.
But shortly just after fixing his hat, the demon perked up again.
Almost sending his hat flying off his head once more.
"because-".
'Luci' jumped up.
He seemed to have recalled the exact context of the chat he had with you a few moments ago.
And suddenly, he no longer looked relaxed or casual.
Instead, in an blink of an eye, his calm demeanor switched up for a much more energetic one.
He acted like a little ball of energy once again.
"you won't believe it, Lili- but this little imp actually shares our passion!".
The blond male said with a wide grin.
And he started gesticulating strongly again.
Almost as if he was practitioning pantomime.
He seemed just so eager to share this with his female companion.
And he spoke so fast and excitedly that he almost struggled to breathe.
But after a long and deep breath, 'Luci' managed to sputter out the rest:
"They also think hell could use more colours! Isn't that- isn't that awesome, Lili??".
And at the mention of your desire to see more colours in hell 'Lili's eyes seemed to spark with interest.
"Oh, you don't say.".
She mused.
Her thin fingers grazed her face for a second, her eyebrows raising up a little.
And her expression softened.
Then, another light smirk appeared on her face.
But imposing isn't a word you'd call that smirk she wore.
This certain smirk was different than the previous ones.
This one seemed much safer, and almost friendly.
And 'Lili' had something more lively about her as she said:
"Well then, it seems we'll get along just perfect,".
And with those words, the blonde demoness took a step towards you.
"May I ask for your name? I'm sure that'd be much preferable than being referred to as any-colour-but-red enthusiast.".
The female told you with a short, yet warm chuckle.
And a hand casually rested on her curvy side.
Most of the intimidating demeanor she previously had seemed gone.
She seemed to have eased up.
Which gave her a more approachable feel.
And thanks to that, you yourself felt much more at ease being in the woman's presence.
So, it wasn't as difficult to muster up the courage to speak as it was before.
"Oh- y-yeah... I'd much rather be called by my name, yeah, that'd be much better, totally,".
You chuckled awkwardly.
And nodding your head with a light smile, you rubbed at the back of your neck.
You were rambling a little too.
You still felt a bit of unease.
But that was to be expected.
Considering you've not had this much of genuine social interaction in years.
But, 'Lili' didn't seem to mind.
She just looked at you with almost a motherly, compassionate look.
And she waited for you to introduce yourself with patience.
"Oh- damn- I'm rambling again, sorry,".
You said nervously after a short pause when you were processing your own actions.
And you almost started rambling anew before you caught yourself going that direction.
And you stopped yourself.
You needed to compose yourself.
You didn't want to drive her away by your social incompetence.
"Ahem, anyways, yeah, my name... I'm (Y/N),".
You finally introduced yourself.
And proud of your accomplishment, your inner self did a little victory dance.
Then, remembering how social interactions work, you added in:
"It's really a pleasure to meet you.".
You nodded with a smile before perking up and quickly saying:
"Ah- erm- both of you,".
And you sent a timid smile towards 'Luci', wanting to acknowledge him as well.
You didn't want for him to feel left out.
Your gesture seemed to be appreciated as the blond male smiled right back.
But instead of 'Luci' speaking up, it was his wife to follow though with the conversation.
"It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance as well.".
'Lili's voice pulled your gaze right back at her figure.
And your full focus was on her once again.
"Truly it is, (Y/N).".
The demoness added in, nodding her head as if to confirm her statement.
After that, another smile formed on her lips, and she had this slightly amused look to her.
"Now, normally I would suppose that there's no introduction needed on our part,".
She mused, a hand resting on her chest while she leaned over a little, towering over you.
Her tall frame casted a bit of a shadow over you, making you feel much smaller than you actually were.
And she got so close that you could smell her expensive perfume.
But that was the least thing you needed to focus on.
You needed to listen to her words - which you forced yourself to do.
"but judging by this entire interaction, I would say you have absolutely no idea who we are,".
You heard 'Lili' say as your focus was back on the context of her words.
And her entire person was once again imposing as she finished her sentence.
She was wearing a light, entertained grin - one that exposed her pearly white fangs.
And despite her grin being quite pronounced, it did not take off her elegance.
If anything, it only made her more heavenly gorgeous.
And showing those pointed teeth some more, she asked:
"Am I correct in that assumption?".
With that question, she raised an eyebrow.
Her expression wasn't confused as one might have assumed, though.
No, the demoness seemed to already know your answer.
And that knowing look she wore only further confirmed that claim.
Perhaps you were right when you assumed 'Lili' could easily read you.
That realization alone made your eyes widen, and you sputtered:
"Oh- y-yeah- that would be right.".
You nodded your head with an awkward smile, feeling both nervous and embarrassed.
And your nervousness was, of course, affecting you, as you rambled a little just like you previously did:
"Yeah, I have no idea who you two are... I don't do politics and famous people... buuuut, you're... probably someone... important...?".
At your guess, both 'Lili' and 'Luci' chuckled, and they exchanged a glance.
"Oh dear, you have no idea,".
The blonde demoness stated as another soft chuckle left her lips.
Then she covered her lips with her fingers for a few seconds, looking amused.
And the way 'Lili' and 'Luci' were gazing at you left you unable to do anything other than smile awkwardly.
Their gazes were hard to describe, but you felt preyed upon.
Just like you previously felt with the women at the start.
Except it felt a bit different in a way you couldn't quite describe.
Not to mention that this time 'Luci' was a part of it.
The male demon's even gotten closer to you just like his wife did a while ago.
"They're precious, aren't they, Lili?".
'Luci' suggested as he stepped forward.
His gaze was focused on you, and he was giving a sharp toothed grin.
A grin that called for you - begged you - to read between the lines.
But that could be just your imp nature speaking, right?
After all, imps were used to being the prey to other demons.
So it made sense for you to be alert around other demon species, right?
Well, even then, the answer 'Lili' gave to 'Luci's question didn't help you feel safer.
"Quite so, Luci,".
'Lili' mused as her gaze trailed over your whole person.
She was looking you up and down with predatory eyes - like a snake looking at a little mouse.
Her gaze was unnerving, and the female didn't seem to bother with doing that action subtly either.
As if she felt no shame in doing so.
Almost as if she wanted for you to be aware of what she was doing.
And as if that wasn't alarming enough, 'Lili's gaze then trailed off towards 'Luci'.
The two looked at each other, exchanging a certain gaze.
You couldn't tell what kind of gaze it was exactly, but it made you feel so much more preyed upon.
It appeared as if the two were wordlessly agreeing on something, plotting even.
And you didn't like that one bit.
But before you could even think to perhaps run off, the couple directed their attention back at you.
"Well, dear (Y/N)... It seems an introduction is in order,".
'Lili' then told you in a smooth voice as she once agai leaned over you in one elegant movement.
Meanwhile 'Luci' stood aside, watching the further interaction with an eager grin.
"Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Lilith,".
The blonde demoness introduced herself, a hand on her chest.
Then, she motioned to the male beside her with her hand.
And the demon in question stepped forward, placing his hand into the female's palm.
"And this is my husband, Lucifer.".
Lilith introduced the male, making you pause.
You needed a moment to do a quick double take on that information.
But before you could even questioned anything, the mentioned male spoke:
"Lucifer Morningstar. It's a pleasure to officially meet you, (Y/N).".
And with those words, the world suddenly seemed to stop and freeze in time.
Your mouth and throat went completely dry, and your pulse seemed to halt.
The room seemed to begin to spin, your body breaking into cold sweat.
And all you could hear was loud and painful ringing in your ears.
This couldn't be real.
"W-wait...".
You attempted to speak, your eyes wide.
You wanted to say something - anything!
But your brain seemed to have crashed and gone blank.
You were unable to formulate a single simple sentence.
You were at loss for words.
And at loss for breath too it seemed.
Your throat was all closed up, and all you could give was a pathetic little gasp for air.
"Oh? Oh? What is it, dear?"
Lucifer looked entertained - and it was the same for Lilith.
The pair watched you do a bit of your mental gymnastics with amused gazes.
Both were grinning.
Seemingly finding some kind of joy in you finally realizing just who you were dealing with.
"Do those names... I don't know... maybe ring a bell?".
Lucifer asked you in a sweet and seemingly well-meaning, yet still condescending voice.
He sounded playful, as if this was just some kind of a game.
But when the demon got no response from you, he grinned wide and turned to his wife:
"Why, Lili, I have a feeling those names do ring a bell to them,".
And Lilith, seemingly equally as amused, nodded along:
"Yes, it certainly seems like it, Lulu,".
You had absolutely no idea as to what to do in this situation.
Your brain was way too overloaded to figure out a possible solution for this.
Thinking was out of the question, so was talking yourself out of this situation.
You were so fucked.
And so, acting on default, you dropped to your knees, hands in a praying position, attempting to ask for forgiveness.
You didn't dare look at the two, your eyes being directed to the ground as your entire body trembled.
And you pitifully tried to verbally ask for forgiveness of the pair too.
But all you could force out were just pathetic little noises and sputters of nonsense.
"Now, that's quite a bit of an extreme reaction, don't you think?".
Lucifer mused all so casually, sounding unbothered by the display.
And Lilith matched the casual, unphased voice tone, saying:
"Come now, get off the floor, dear. The ground is way too dirty for you to be sprawling all over it like that,".
After that, Lucifer chimed in again, following through with:
"Yeah, and you might want to wipe off those tears as well, they're a bit too dramatic,".
Their words and reaction confused you so, and made you pause.
You didn't know what was going on - you've not expected this.
They were supposed to tear you apart, weren't they?
Because you didn't recognize them and talked to them so casually, right?
Well, not even Lucifer's next words made that any clearer.
In fact, you actually ended up feeling even more confused then.
"And I gotta ask: is your memory not working well?".
Lucifer asked, and a hint of disappointment lingered in the air.
You didn't understand his words, or his voice tone.
Both only made more questions arise.
And you cautiously looked up to him,
"wha- what?".
You muttered, voice barely loud enough to be heard.
You felt almost afraid to question what Lucifer's said.
You just can't help yourself but be fearful of the male.
Even if he's been nothing but pleasant to you the whole time.
But, could anyone even really blame you for your unease and fear?
He was the literal Devil, and you've treated him like an equal.
There was no way that Lucifer wasn't insulted or upset over this.
"I mean, I told you I'm not one of those royals who lose it if one doesn't recognize them, no?".
Well, it turned out your assumptions were all wrong.
These words that Lucifer's said have proven you wrong.
He didn't seem upset whatsoever, and his words confirmed that.
Sure, he sounded just a little disappointed with you in a way.
But he was not upset, which definitely was a relief.
However, you still had yet to properly calm down and relax.
"Y-yeah... you did...".
Was all you've managed to clumsily force out.
And your voice tone sounded just a little surprised.
That was because you've experienced a bit of a realization.
Truth be told, you've completely forgotten about your previous conversation.
You've forgotten just what kind of a royal Lucifer told you he was.
And when you remembered the male's previous words, your eyes widened a little.
Yet, your mind didn't feel any clearer, you still felt the same.
So, saying anything more was a task you could not achieve.
But, the devil went on with the conversation anyways.
"Then what's up with that reaction?".
He questioned you, an eyebrow raised.
He sounded almost judgemental at that certain moment.
He even looked the part - an unimpressed gaze, a hand on his hip.
Yet, somehow, there was still no feeling of ill-will to him.
Still, it wasn't any easier for you to think of what to say.
"I- I... well... y-you see...".
You clumsily attempted to explain yourself.
But a weak little mutter was all that you could give.
You couldn't say anything more, your brain felt too empty.
Everything that's happened just left you with a clouded mind.
And your thoughts and emotions were all over the place.
So, a soft mutter and a distressed whimper was the best you could do.
But Lucifer didn't seem to mind that, not even in the slightest.
"Nah, I'm just pulling your leg!".
He called with a hearty chuckle.
And he dismissively waved his hand as he added:
"I totally get the whole dropping to your knees thing!".
"I mean, we're literally the rulers of hell, so it makes complete sense for you to act this way,".
The blonde male went on and on.
He seemed to be having a good laugh at all of this.
And he gesticulated and spoke all enthusiastically.
But you didn't really catch any of what was being said.
Your brain was way too overloaded to be able to do so.
And the longer Lucifer spoke, the worse you began to feel.
Much to your relief though, Lilith finally chimed in once again.
"Luci, I think you're completely overwhelming the poor thing,".
The queen of hell noted.
She sounded a little amused just like the male was.
Yet, there was a clear hint of concern in the way she spoke.
"Oh, am I?".
The king of hell paused.
Finally, he took a moment to take in your state.
And when he did, he awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck and mused:
"Yeah... I think I am,".
After Lucifer noted that, Lilith focused and spoke directly to you.
"We apologize, (Y/N).".
She started in a gentle tone.
And her expression was not as amused anymore.
At that certain moment, she seemed almost apologetic.
But not too much.
"It's just that it's not often someone doesn't recognize us, and we couldn't help ourselves,".
The demoness explained.
And you could've sworn her eyes held genuine concern in them.
Although her overall stance didn't really change much.
The tall blonde was still perfectly well-composed.
And she still appeared mostly unphased.
Then she finished her speech with:
"all was meant in good fun,".
At that final explanation, you paused.
Your racing thoughts came to a full stop.
And processing Lilith's words, you said cautiously:
"S- so we're... all good?".
Your words came out slow and soft.
And you were careful with your wording too.
You were kind of testing the waters in a sense.
The two rulers of hell kept surprising you.
They were continuously proving to not be a threat to you.
Yet one could never be fully sure - especially not in Hell.
And especially not as mere little imp.
Your question was met with a warm smile from Lilith.
And she nodded to your words, confirming them.
"Yes, we're all good".
She confirmed.
Relief washed over you then.
And you made sure to voice that.
"Oh- holy shi- I'm so relieved!".
You breathed.
And only then did you get off the ground.
"Fuuuuck,".
You gave a breathy chuckle.
And you wiped some metaphorical sweat off your forehead.
You felt on cloud nine - as if you've escaped death.
So, you couldn't really control your vocabulary at the moment.
Not like it mattered anyways.
"For- for a moment I thought-".
You stumbled over your words a little.
This entire thing felt just so unreal.
You were overwhelmed again.
But this time not exactly overwhelmed in a bad way.
"For a moment I thought it'd be off with my head or something!".
You admitted.
And you gripped your head.
You needed a moment to fully process everything.
"Whaaat? No! No, we'd never do that!".
Lucifer called, pulling your focus back to himself and his wife.
He looked and sounded astounded.
As if not grasping just where you got that idea from.
But then he paused, and he gripped his chin in thought.
"I mean, we probably did that at some point, centuries and centuries ago...".
He thought out loud.
And that made your eyes widen a little.
You couldn't tell of he was just kidding around again or not.
And you almost felt your unease returning.
But then came the following exchange.
"Or did that happen only in a dream...?".
The Devil mused, confused and uncertain.
To which Lilith shushed him gently yet disapprovingly:
"Lulu, you're not helping,".
That was all she said.
She didn't deny or confirm anything.
And Lucifer perked up just then.
"Oh- yeah, right... that was a little beside the point I was trying to make...".
Lucifer admitted awkwardly.
He even gave a slight apologetic look for a quick moment.
But that expression of his was pretty much short lived.
Since then he relaxed and offered a friendly smile.
"Sorry, dear (Y/N), I tend to trail off sometimes.".
He told you, voice calm and pleasant.
And his words were even accompanied by a low chuckle.
"I can confirm that,".
Lilith voiced in, her tone just as pleasant, as well as humorous.
The mood in the room suddenly felt much better.
It felt easier to just be in the moment.
Lilith's little jab at Lucifer's expense made the male give a playful glare.
And to that, the demoness offered a playful smirk back.
Then, the blond male spoke again.
"Anyhow, I think we should properly apologize for how we...".
Lucifer trailed off.
Seemingly trying to find the right term to use.
"had fun at your expense?".
Lilith filled the rest in.
Helping her lover name what they did correctly.
And the male nodded in agreement:
"Yeah... that'd be the word,".
Then, Lucifer added:
"So, what can we do to apologize?".
The words of the pair had you astonished.
After all, they did give you a verbal apology already.
So, you'd just assume the situation was over.
It wasn't like you wanted anything more from them anyways.
After all, getting an apology out of someone as an imp was near to impossible.
And having someone want to do a selfless act to undo their wrongdoing?
That was twice as impossible.
No one really cared for imps.
Nor did they really see them as equals.
And yet, here were the two highest ranking demons in all of hell.
Both of them treating you fair and with respect.
You were so beneath them.
Yet they treated you more kindly than your own kin.
And maybe even more kindly than you treated yourself.
"Oh- no, no, that's completely alright!".
You dismissed the pair's offer.
You really weren't used to such treatment.
And you almost felt bad if you were to accept.
"No real harm was done! All's good!".
You went on.
You really didn't want for these two to burden themselves for your sake.
Honestly, it felt a little wrong.
However, your dismissiveness got matched.
Lilith and Lucifer weren't accepting of you waving it all off.
"No, no, we insist!".
Lucifer cut your efforts off.
And he matched your own voice tone.
Dismissive and insistent, and also a bit loud.
"Truly, we insist.".
Lilith nodded along, not letting you speak.
"After all, words are just so cheap - actions speak much louder".
She persuaded some more.
And the Devil was there to her aid, saying:
"So, even if we shall do just a simple act like buying you coffee... We insist,".
Of course, your first instinct was to keep declining.
Yet, something in you had you pause and think.
This was an opportunity like no other.
For you seemed to get along well with the two so far.
And the pair seemed to understand you like no one else.
After all, the two shared your view on Pride needing more colour.
Who knew if you didn't have more things in common?
And perhaps this was the moment you've always been waiting for.
Did you really want to sabotage yourself and throw it all away?
The answer was no.
No, you didn't.
And so, with a bit of hesitation, you stated:
"I guess... that coffee does sound good?".
And with your sheepish smile and answer the deal was sealed.
Because the king and queen both grinned.
"Good, I'm sure we'll have a lot to talk about,".
Lilith hummed.
She sounded pleased.
"And we'll start with why Pride needs more colour".
Lucifer added in.
And he gave a playful wink.
Then, his red eyes met yours for a moment.
And the Devil smiled at you before calling eagerly:
"Off to a cafe we go!".
And with that, the male rushed towards the museum exit.
He seemed to completely forget about you and Lilith.
"You'll get used to it,".
Lilith told you with a smile.
And as her lilac gaze met yours, her eyes flashed red again.
But this time her red eyes didn't intimidate you.
You two then went ahead to follow Lucifer.
And on your way out of the museum, you had just one thought.
That being:
That now you couldn't really hate the colour of red as much as you used to.
