I don’t know why I am the way I am, but I feel like starting to watch the CW hit show supernatural, where men cry all pretty and get beaten up and kissed or possessed against their will a whole lot, as an impressionable preteen may have been part of it.

Reciprocity
Content / Warnings : Secondo/Reader, Explicit, Gender-Neutral Reader, Oral Sex, Birthday Smut, Soft-ish Secondo, 4.8k words. Thanks, please enjoy! (AO3)
Secondo discovers it's your birthday, and is more displeased than he expects that you haven't told him. For my lovely friend @ghoulymadge 🥀
Secondo notices. It’s the instinct, the knack, the guiding hand of Lucifer on his shoulder. It’s his talent for seeing which eyes in the crowd are most desperate for his to meet them, which Siblings give him a wide berth in the corridor, which abysmal move Copia is about to play during card games. And today, Secondo noticed that the leftmost side of the third pew was vacant at his afternoon sermon. Unusual.
In the hour or so since his sermon concluded, Secondo has been stalking the corridors, contemplative. It’s certainly not that he’s looking for someone. It’s not that he’s looking for you. It’s simply that it’s exceedingly uncommon for him not to spy you in that third pew, rosary draped over your fingers, listening in-- well, if it wasn’t rapture it was certainly a very good imitation. You are always first on your knees to accept communion. You always meet his gaze.
Presently, Secondo’s contemplation sees him circling back to the chapel in time for Terzo’s Mass to conclude. Settling against a pillar, he watches as the congregation begin to file out, accepting their scattered greetings with a polite nod. He waits for the crowd to thin and strides into the chapel proper.
There are a few Siblings lingering by the chancel, some tidying, some chatting, one tending to what appears to be a rather large red wine stain on the floor. Secondo sighs. From the altar, Terzo raises an eyebrow.
“Oh. What do you want?”
“You have been working on your manners, I see.”
Terzo shrugs. “I aim to please. Since we are in polite company-” he gestures loosely at the remaining Siblings- “let me start again. What can I do for you on this fine afternoon?”
Secondo relents. “I am…looking for someone. Someone who usually only attends my sermons. I thought, perhaps, something may have happened to their standards, and was concerned that I might find them here.”
“Biting,” Terzo says. “Very good. I see, you are upset that your favourite has abandoned you today.”
Secondo folds his arms. “I do not have favourites.” “Then why do I know precisely who you are talking about, hm?” Terzo scoffs, gathering some papers from the altar and handing them to a waiting Sibling. “I saw the two of you talking the other night and could have sworn I heard you ask them a personal question. Unprecedented.”
It’s not that Secondo doesn’t have admirers. Lovers. Comes with the job, the title. It’s just that, as the years go on, he’s becoming tired of deciphering intent.
He has a reputation. All of the Papas do. It’s that shared folklore of the clergy, woven into lore by threads of shared conversations, retellings of sexual encounters, speculation into their personal lives. Ask a Sibling? Secondo was… brusque. Direct. Uncompromising. Difficult to get to know. And people love a challenge.
Usually, it’s obvious and telegraphed; the Siblings who approach him like a puzzle. The attempts to sidle up to him in the library, probe him with questions, to earn an invite into his bed. At this point it’s almost amusing, and Secondo is normally content to entertain them for the night, sending them home well-fucked and pleased with themselves. Good for them if they think they know the first thing about him afterwards. 
But, you know, it’s wearing a little thin. There’s a fine line between casual for casual’s sake and casual to avoid disappointment. Secondo is familiar with disappointment, he carries it around with him in a deep, bone-aching weariness, and has no desire to add more weight. 
Last week, you’d turned to leave after one of your post-Mass conversations and he’d almost followed you. It had startled him, a frown settling onto his face as he watched you go. Ask him, and he wouldn’t say you were close- you speak a few times a week, post-sermon, or when you see one another in the halls. It’s been a few months of this, since you devoted yourself to his sermons- I think you might be the one, Papa- and as reticent as he is, Secondo…enjoys you. He allows you to linger after Mass where he encourages others to go about their day, he packs his things more slowly when you do stay so he might entertain your questions. Your enquiries about his personal time don’t seem transactional, and to his retrospective regret, his tongue is looser when it’s you doing the asking. But, he thinks, perhaps that’s as far as it should go. After all, isn’t it better not to want, truly want something? Aren’t you hoisting yourself for a fall?
The Sibling attending to the spilled wine raises their head, and Secondo notes that this is definitely a situation where attempted cleanup merely spreads the problem around. 
“I know who you’re on about,” they say, abandoning their sponge. “They’ve booked the day off. It’s their birthday.”
“Ah,” Secondo says. This feels like pertinent information. Should he know that? There’s a tug in his chest that tells him he should. Had you told him? No. He would’ve remembered. Why hadn’t you told him?
Terzo shakes his head disapprovingly.
“Ooh, that’s terrible. You should’ve known that.”
“I did.”
It’s too early in the day for such an obvious lie, but Secondo’s priorities have taken a sharp turn to the left. He utters a quick thanks to the Sibling then turns on his heel, marching out of the chapel and through the winding corridors of the Ministry.
He knows the living quarters well. To clarify, he knows the exact position of the handle on the oak bedroom doors when reaching for it in the dark with someone pressed eagerly against him, and he knows how many steps it is from threshold to bed. It’s been others, but it’s not been you.
Once, he thinks, striding down the hallway towards your room, once it might’ve been you. One harsh night last month you’d crossed paths in the corridor - cold tonight isn’t it, Papa? - and he’d dropped into conversation so readily he’d ended up following you to the living quarters. You converse with an ease that almost circles to instil unease in him, it’s so unfamiliar. For Lucifer’s sake, he’d told you about his bath. A single comment from you about the chill, and the sight of you wrapping your arms around yourself to retain heat, and he’d told you about his bath. Information that he does not divulge readily, but there it was, one more confession you’d pulled out of him with obscene simplicity. There’s a very nice bathroom in Secondo’s quarters, and he’s managed to keep it quiet. It’s not the perfectly serviceable ensuite he directs any nocturnal guests or visitors to, it’s the box room he had refitted on the sly when most of the senior clergy were at an awful team-building weekend a few years ago. And he…told you about it. There, outside your room, watching you shiver.
You’d laughed at the revelation, joked about him inviting you over to take a bath. So bold, but isn’t that what jokes are for? Testing the waters? Secondo had stopped to let his eyes rove over you, to let his mind wander, to imagine the two of you in his most sacred of places; wet, naked, him fucking you over the bathroom counter. And then, despite himself, he bade you goodnight. 
Anyway. Secondo knows exactly which door to stop in front of. He gives a sharp knock, and waits for a response. And waits. And- well, he’s waited a respectable twenty-five seconds. Perhaps you’re out. Or perhaps something is wrong?
The thought has barely crossed his mind and his gloved hand is reaching for the door handle. Immediately he catches himself- come on. The Ministry is usually safe, as long as you don’t inadvertently stumble into the path of whatever nonsense the ghouls have going on at any given time. You were fine. Probably. Hm. 
It’s a…persistent thought, and it’s gnawing at the back of Secondo’s brain. You haven’t answered the door and it’s been, what, a full minute and a half? He should wait. Or knock again, perhaps. He definitely shouldn’t try the door.
He tries the door. It’s unlocked, and easing it open, Secondo lets himself in. He steps into the room- slightly messy, lived-in, but nothing sets off any alarm bells. It’s dim in here, a lone crack in your curtains allowing a thin stream of afternoon sunlight through and as his gaze pans over to your bed- ah- there you are. Taking a few steps closer, he can see you half-entangled in a thin blanket, curled onto your side, and the steady rise and fall of your chest indicates you’re sound asleep. Hm. Not dead then. Well. At least you’re safe.
And then you stir, spot Secondo towering over you, and bolt upright.
“Fucking hell-”
Now. Objectively, the optics on this one aren’t great. Secondo takes a step back.
“I am incredibly sorry,” he says. “I was worried.”
The words fall from his lips too quickly, too honestly. 
“Oh,” you say, doing an impressive job of regulating your breathing. “I’m sorry, Papa. I’m up, I was just…napping.”
He regards you- flushed, separating yourself from your blanket, straightening your clothes. You look up at him in earnest. It is a good angle. Seeing you like this, sleepy and dishevelled, in your room amongst all your personal things, he almost feels like he’s crossed a boundary. Secondo clears his throat.
“It is your birthday. You did not tell me,” Secondo says plainly. It isn’t an accusation, but there’s a bite that causes you to lower your eyes from his. There’s something in him that feels…entitled to that information, as unfair as that may be. It isn’t particularly sensitive information. Your friends would know. Acquaintances, even. Has he misread your attention, placed more weight on your interactions than he should have? Set himself up, once more?
No, it’s not your fault. He could have asked. Taking a breath, he tempers his tone.
“To clarify, you did not have to tell me,” he says. “However, I would have liked to have known.”
“To be honest, Papa,” you say, dragging your eyes back up to meet his, “I’m not really in the habit of celebrating my birthday. It’s… I don’t…”
“There does not have to be a reason.”
You give him a small, grateful smile.  “Anyway,” you continue, “I didn’t see the point of bringing it up, really. I doubt you’d want to spend the day with me, you’re a busy man.”
Slowly, he steps forwards and takes a seat on the edge of your bed. At once, you manoeuvre yourself closer to him. Instinct. The sight lights a fire in the pit of his stomach.
“Busy indeed. And yet, here I am.”
Slotted neatly and deliberately alongside several particularly dry-looking Luciferian texts on Secondo’s bookshelf, there is a list handwritten on good, weighty paper. It’s Secondo’s gift list. Secondo is a good gift-giver, deriving no end of pleasure from lavishing gifts on those who have earned it. Now, it is a relatively short list- a few friends from his past, senior clergy (mostly out of pure obligation), Siblings who made a particular impression, Terzo’s name crossed out and rewritten multiple times with varying degrees of vitriol. And there at the bottom is your name in neat, thoughtful cursive. If he’d known…
“Why are you here, Papa?”
Your voice snaps him back to the present. You’re leaning forwards, towards him. Meeting his eyes, the way he likes.
This is the dance, isn’t it? The precipice? The leading question leading to his mouth on yours? He wants to dance with you. But he has to ensure you’re a willing partner.
“I want to do something for you,” he says, reaching out with one gloved hand to ghost your cheek with his fingers. You lean into his touch. Good. “A gift.”
“You don’t have to get me anything,” you say. 
“I want to do something for you,” he reiterates. “I can scarcely believe I am saying this, but I will permit you to use my bath.”
“Oh,” you say, eyes widening. “I was joking the other week, I didn’t actually expect- but yes, that would be lovely.”
Secondo lets his fingers trail downwards, tracing your jaw gently. If not for his gloves he’d be able to feel the warmth of you.
“On my terms,” he continues. “I am going to be very direct with you, so listen.”
“I’m listening, Papa.”
So attentive.
“In one hour, you are going to come to my quarters. You are going to knock. If you knock twice, I will let you in, and then I will leave you to the bath I have drawn for you. Take your time. But not too much time, hm? I will give you two hours, and then I want my bathroom back, yes?” You nod your assent. He fixes you with a firm, deliberate gaze.
“Now. Pay attention. If you knock three times, I will let you in, I will bathe you, and then I am going to fuck you. Do you understand?”
“Yes,” you say immediately, half-breathless. You’ve been waiting, haven’t you? Secondo can feel it, the change in the air that accompanies the sprawl of new possibilities running through your mind.
“Think about it,” he says. “One hour.”
Swiftly, he stands, gives you a curt nod and turns to leave.
“Wait,” you call after him. He turns back to you, despite feeling the sting of an impactful exit cut short.
“Hm?”
“I thought you weren’t interested,” you confess.
Ah. There it is, the consequence of his reluctance to spoil a good thing. Or, more accurately, his idea of a good thing, and the terrifying thought that the reality might be very different. So yes, if he’s honest, he’s been ignoring your glances and missing opportunities to invite you to bed. But there’s only so long the inevitable can be delayed. There’s a thrum inside him when you’re within arm's reach that’s impossible to resist and, well, when Lucifer gives you a hint you should take it.
“No.” Secondo reaches down, thumb brushing your lip. He wants his fingers in your mouth. “I am interested. Perhaps too much.”
And then he leaves you.
You’re about three minutes early. Secondo heard your approach, deliberate steps on the stone floor, and then…silence. He supposes you’re waiting for the hour to be up proper, lest you look too…eager? That is, assuming, you would be taking him up on his offer of some personal attention. Now, he’s ready for you to take the solitary option, if that’s what you want. It’s fine. It’s alright. There’s certainly no pang that cuts through his chest when he thinks about the possibility of you not reciprocating his desire. Although, he thinks, taking stock of himself in the mirror, it would be a bit of a waste.
He’s shed his robe in lieu of a fitted black-button down shirt, sleeves half-rolled. Black trousers and dress shoes. Unassuming, timeless. But he’s touched up his paint; it’s the face he knows you like. Not too bad for an old man. He glances at the clock- ah. It’s time. He watches the door, waiting for you to announce yourself.
You knock. Once. Twice. And then again. Secondo opens the door. The nerves emanating from you are palpable but, regardless, you give him a smile and Secondo can feel his heart beating in his throat. You’re matching him in black, and he can’t help but let his eyes wander over you, searching, looking for points of access. But before that-
“Come with me,” he says, holding out his hand, sparing you the agony of filling the silence. You slip your hand into his and he leads you into the room, towards the bathroom, noting your gaze roaming to take in your surroundings before your eyes settle on the bed. Later. Secondo pulls you gently through the next doorway and into his bathroom. The secret one.
It’s a nice bathroom, if he says so himself. All Italian marble and gold furnishings, but in a way that he tells himself is on the right side of the tasteful/tacky border. There are a few plants, gifts from Primo, that he’s doing his best to keep alive, and in the centre of the room, the star of the show, an excessively large marble bathtub. Prior to your arrival, he’d spent a good forty minutes here, setting the scene, because if Secondo is anything, he is a good host. And when he commits, he commits. So you arrive to find the room lit by candlelight, bath full and waiting for you, a tiny wireless radio tuned to a station playing soft instrumentals. It’s worth the effort- when you look at him, half-awestruck, he realises he’s been holding his breath. Tightening his grip on your hand, he leads you further into the room.
“I can see why you want to keep this to yourself,” you say, running your fingers along the edge of the bath. Secondo hums.
“You understand. I do not wish for this to become common knowledge, yes? Let it be our secret.”
“Of course,” you say. There’s a pause, and you appear to be at a bit of a loss at what to say next. Secondo is happy to lead.
“Do you wish to begin?”
“Yes,” you say, leaning against the edge of the bath. “What should I…”
“Undress for me,” he says, low and steady.
You nod, setting to work on your buttons, lowering your gaze. You work slowly, and after a moment, pause.
“Sorry, I’m a bit self-conscious,” you confess. Secondo closes the distance between you, tipping your jaw up with one hand so you meet his eyes.
“I do not want you to be uncomfortable. May I help?”
“Yes.”
Gently, his hands run down your shoulders, your arms, before he locates the fastenings of your clothes and works them undone. He strips you with practised ease, touching you only enough to help you shed your garments, his face serious, focused. When he catches your eye you’re regarding him with a quiet bemusement. He’s seen it before. You’re wondering why he’s not fondling you, kissing you. But Secondo has his rituals. His rules. If he touches you now you’ll never make it to the bath and all of his preparation will be for naught. He helps you shift your underwear down your legs. Satanas-
There you are, gorgeous and exposed, every inch, for him. Secondo’s cock aches against his trousers and the simmer of desire in the pit of his stomach is threatening to overspill. You reach out to touch his cheek, fingers grazing his skin.
Actually, fuck the rituals. Slipping his arms around your waist, he pulls you to his chest and kisses you. You sink into him, mouth opening to accept his tongue, soft moan escaping you. He feels your hands meet at the back of his neck, pulling him closer. Even through his clothes he can feel your heat, your want, and he kisses you hungrily, tongue moving against yours in lascivious rhythm.  
When he’s sated, he pulls back. You’re flushed, breaths heavy, pressed so tightly against him his cock must surely be digging uncomfortably into you. Well, you don’t seem to be complaining. Secondo allows himself to press another kiss to your lips.
“You are quite the distraction,” he says, taking your hand. “Now get in the bath.”
Biting your lip and doing a poor job of disguising your smile, you let him help you into the bath. As you relax into the water, you let out a deep sigh, allowing your head to rest back against the marble. Secondo can’t take his eyes off you, and is doing absolutely nothing to hide the fact. He is content for now, perched at the edge of the bath, watching you unwind. After a few moments, you lift your head and eye him suspiciously.
“Yes?” he says.
“How did you know it was my birthday?”
Secondo clears his throat. “Ah. I made some enquiries as to your location. One of Terzo’s hangers-on informed me.”
You laugh. “I’ll tell them you said that.”
Secondo wonders if you’ve noticed you’ve dropped the Papa. It doesn’t feel like a purposeful omission, more an indication of…comfort. He doesn’t mind a slip in decorum, not here. Not when you’re looking at him like that.
“I feel,” you continue- you’re talkative like this- “as though you should also be… not dressed.”
Secondo cocks his head. “Impatient. You will see more than enough of me soon enough. Although…” 
Slowly, under your watchful eye, he makes a show of removing one glove, and then the other. He rests them on the edge of the bath, and reaches for the washcloth and soap he’s set out. It’s a fancy soap Terzo had foisted upon him- with no regard to the fact that he wasn’t a florals person- but Secondo thinks it might be rather pleasing on you.
“Let me take care of you,” he says, shifting to kneel at your side.
You lean up to meet him and he bathes you, thoroughly, tenderly. Again, he’s restraining himself, tempering his desire as he runs his hands over you. He allows himself small pleasures- a kiss pressed to your hand, your shoulder, the inside of your ankle as you manoeuvre to grant him access to your legs. He’s working methodically, but his pace slows as he approaches your inner thighs. There was nothing wrong with lingering there, yes? Your breaths are sharper, anticipant, but he’s not going to touch you where you want to be touched. Not yet. He pulls back and you can’t hide the frustrated grunt that escapes you. Secondo bites down a smile.
“Are you sated?” he says. No, is the answer he wants. You tilt your head.
“In the bath way, yes.”
He looks at you for a long moment. “I see. Then let me attend to your other needs.”
Secondo extends a hand and you waste no time in taking it. Pulling you up, he reaches for a towel and helps you dry off. Without a moment of consideration, he fetches his bathrobe from a hanger and offers it to you. You raise an eyebrow. It’s a nice robe. Stepping out of the bath, you shrug it on and Secondo reaches around you wordlessly to tie the belt.
“This feels more even, hm?” he says. “You are not so exposed?”
“Mm,” you hum, giving him a gentle smile. It’s a smile he wouldn’t mind seeing more often. But- to business. Leading you to the bedroom, he encourages you to take a seat on the edge of his bed, positioning himself next to you.
“Before we begin, let us set some expectations, yes? I want you to enjoy yourself. I also want to fuck every last drop of need out of you, and I want to do it with great enthusiasm. So if you are uncomfortable with anything I am doing you must tell me, and I will stop. Alright?”
You nod. “I will. I would.”
“Good. I enjoy taking the lead. Are you content with that?”
He’s studying you for any signs of hesitation, but he’s finding nothing. Just you, so torturously close and leaning closer, looking especially fuckable in his bathrobe (it’s monogrammed), hanging onto his every word.
“I want you to tell me what to do,” you say plainly. “And I want you to use me however you wish.”
Well. If that wasn’t what he dreamed of hearing. You’re going to be so good for him. Secondo takes your face in his hands, drawing you close.
“Very well. Then permit me to be selfish. I was denied the privilege of seeing you on your knees today.”
Obediently, you slip from the bed and settle on your knees before Secondo. Your hands run up his thighs and his cock twitches. This is the view.
“Watch. Do not touch,” he says, languidly unbuckling his belt and shifting his trousers down to unsheath himself. You’re so close that his cock, slick with precum, grazes your cheek. You’re watching him with a quiet desperation, but you remain still.  
“Open your mouth,” he says, gripping the base of his shaft to guide it towards you as you obey. He locks eyes with you. And then he pushes his cock into your mouth.
You’re devout at his altar, accepting him as far down your throat as you can manage, lips tight around him. He groans, bucking up into you, your hot, wet mouth sending his desire into the stratosphere. You look so good sucking him off, making the most obscene sounds as you fuck him with your mouth. Pulling back, you grasp his shaft and begin to work him manually, tongue painting eager strokes along his cock. Fucking hell, you have been waiting for this. You’re so impatient, so obedient, you’re taking more of him than you can handle, tears pricking at your eyes, fuck, you’re so good, so-
He pulls out of your mouth and you whine at the loss of him, breathless, face thoroughly fucked.
“Forgive me,” Secondo says, catching his breath. “I want you to come first.”
Taking your hands, he stands, pulling you up onto your feet. Swiftly, his fingers untie the bathrobe and he pushes it from your shoulders, laying you bare once again before him. He kisses a trail down your exposed neck, sighing deeply when he comes to rest at your collarbone.
“I’m going to fuck you now,” he says, drawing back to look you in the eyes.
“Please,” you say, voice tinged with need.
“On the bed,” he says, and you scramble onto the bed, watching him as he steps out of his trousers and lowers himself over you, bracing himself on his forearms. Secondo kisses you again. It’s deeper than he’d usually permit, needy, insistent. You wrap your legs around him and he can feel your fingers working on the buttons of his shirt; he gladly helps you discard it. Finally, there’s nothing between you, his chest pressed against yours; Secondo swears he can feel your heartbeat but it may be his own hammering in his chest. He’s aching to be inside you. He needs friction. His cock is leaking precum onto your belly.
Secondo draws back onto his knees, hands spreading your legs, sliding down your thighs. With one hand he slicks his fingers with his own precum, and then guides them to your entrance, pressing against the flesh. You stifle a moan. Hmm, that won’t do. Gently, he pushes a finger into you, eliciting a desperate groan. That’s more like it. Once he’s satisfied you can take it, he adds another finger, working you open, warming you up. You’re a mess underneath him, swearing, rutting up into his fingers. “Please,” you manage. Well, since you asked so nicely. You’ve waited long enough.
Cock in hand, Secondo steadies your legs and slowly, deliberately, presses into you.
“Fuck,” you moan, your head hitting the pillow. Fuck, indeed. You’re so tight around him, such a good, eager hole. At first, he fucks into you lazily, hips rolling against yours in measured, practiced rhythm, but Lucifer he’s been wating for this for so long and you’re squeezing his cock so perfectly and soon he’s taking you, right to the hilt in messy, animalistic strokes. His fingers are digging into your thighs and you’re an absolute state underneath him, hands twisting into the duvet as Secondo fucks you senseless.
“Touch yourself,” he growls. You nod weakly, begin to work yourself. It’s not going to take much, you’re twitching around him already. He’s going to ruin you. He tries to settle into a more regular tempo, but he can’t hold it for long.
“I’m going to come,” you say, breathless.
“Come for me,” he orders, cock pulsing, desperate for release. It’s a good thing you’re close because there’s no chance he’ll last. 
“Papa-” and then he feels you tighten around him, gasping as you come, breath ragged. He fucks you through your orgasm before chasing his own release, hips snapping hard against yours as he finishes inside you, pumps you full.
Shakily, he withdraws from you, and sinks down next to you on the bed. He takes your hand and places it on his chest so you can feel his heart thundering. 
“Should I go?” you say quietly. 
Secondo lifts his head. You’ve heard the routine, then. That he gently encourages his lovers not to get too comfortable after the act. That you shouldn’t expect to stay until morning. And you came anyway. He lets his head drop onto your shoulder.
“No,” he says. “Stay.” “Hmm,” he hears you muse. “Does that mean you’re going to fuck me again? It is my birthday.”
He lifts his head, propping himself up on his side to look at you. It’s not such a bad sight, you tangled in his sheets. He wouldn’t mind making a habit of it. And if he’s setting himself up for a fall, well. Perhaps some things are worth falling for.

Yall I am not done talking about the pet au. Piggybacking off my last post, who else do you think gets extremely stressed when they realize they messed up/aren't doing their Best? My money is on Lucifer and Barbatos.
Lucifer takes such pride in what he does as a companion type, especially when you praise him for his work. So when he accidental sleeps in too late and realizes he doesn't have time to do all his chores before you come home, he instantly panics. He begins rushing throughout the house, desperately cleaning/cooking/organizing things. All seems to be going well until he grabs the hot pan from the oven without putting mitts on and drops it. The glass pan shatters into a million pieces and Lucifer heart sinks. He just stands there, barely able to comprehend what just happened. Lucifer never broke anything of his owners before, he takes pride in being not one of *those* pets. Who break and cause messes.
It isn't until he hears the jingle of keys and a door being opened does he snap out of it. He dives for the broken pieces. You're met with a demon whose normally very prideful and a bit stuck up, kneeling on the ground picking up broken glasses with his bare hands.
It takes a bit of convincing, but you get Lucifer to put down the glass and tell you what happened. Even when you reinsure that it's OK, you're not mad, everyone sleeps in some times. You wouldn't have been angry even if he did none of the chores. Lucifer still feels guilty, especially when you seem so concerned about his burnt hands. He tries to convince you not to treat them, that they're a punishment to himself to be more careful, but you don't let him have that.
----
Barbatos has been a companion type for a very, very long time. Which means he basically mastered the craft. He knows how to be quiet and listen for commands. He knows how to stay in one spot for hours. He knows how to brew tea perfectly. And he even knows how to make polite conversation if he owner desires that.
So suffice to say, Barbatos isn't that used to fucking up. He knows how to take punishment, how to set there and not beg for mercy. But actually earning it? No way.
So that's why this is so anxiety inducing. He never fucked up making tea before, but for some reason he decided that this moment is the prefect time to let his mind wander. He doesn't even realize he burnt the tea. He usually watches over the tea diligently to make sure it's the prefect blend, but this time didn't notice until the tea is a deep black. He could remake the tea? Better to have it be a bit late than bitter and undrinkable.
But sparing a glance at the tea box, he notices that this is the last of the tea. The tea you were excited to show to your friends because Barbatos makes it so well. A heavy weight settles over his chest, a weight he almost forgotten.
Anxiety.
It's been a long time since he got punished, before you taken him in. You were so nice, and he was so obedient that you never had a reason to punish him before. But this? This is definitely something he should be punished before. It's a bit ironic, Barbatos isn't afraid about the punishment as much as disappointing you. You praised him so well in front of his friends, it will sting for you to punish him infront of them.
Pouring the tea into a glass, he could at least explain himself. It would be better than to pretend that nothing is wrong and serve you and your guests brunt tea. At least it shows he know he fucked up and is usually better than this.
But apparently the universe is out to get him today, because before he can even open his mouth to apologize he trips and spills the glass all over you.
Barbatos doesn't move for a single moment when he hit the ground. Just to let the terror and knowledge that yup, you're getting rid of him, to course through his body. When he looks up and sees the tea staining your outfit - your new outfit that you brought to show off to your friends, Barbatos doesn't have it in him to feel anymore afraid.
He doesn't bother standing up, knowing that you'll force him to knees in an instant. Crawling over to your chair to kneel infront of it.
"I'm sorry owner. I can only offer my deepest apologies to you. I know you must punish me now. Whatever you decide to do I will obey, just say the word."
Barbatos can barely finish his speech before you tackle him in a hug. Wrapping your arms around him you tell him over and over again that it's ok! The tea wasn't even hot! It was a mistake! You're not angry and you're not going to punish him!
Barbatos tries to gently agure back, citing your guests and saying that he disrespected you infront of them, but you wave him off. Taking his hand you lead him back to your room and have him sit on your bed while you change your outfit. All the while telling him that it's OK, you know things were different in his old homes, but it's not like that here. You tell him to lay down and relax as you can tell he's feeling a bit anxious and that you'll come and check up on him later. He didn't even notice that he was shaking.
Afterwards Barbatos will try and punish himself since you wouldn't. He'll make himself less food at meal times, and he'll give himself extra chores. But you notice quick and gently scold him for it. Barbatos doesn't understand you, scolding him for not taking care of himself, but being completely OK with him disrespecting you and spilling tea on you. But, since you seem so keen on keeping him, he's willing to learn.

Could I request a one shot with gabriel or lucifer and an alt/goth reader? I honestly don’t have much plotwise, just want some goth representation 💕 thank u 💕
Tumblr media
Lucifer x Goth/Alt Gender Neutral Reader
A/N: Just a small little indulgent Luci fic cause he makes me weak. Also I am not goth or alt so I don’t really know how to write for them? But I tried my best.
Words: 1,025
You sighed for possibly the 20th time in the past hour. You just shot down another dick who assumed that just because you were goth/alt you would be easy to get into bed. Ultimately, you were not impressed with the club scene tonight. You thought it might be nice to get out, dress up in your best tight black outfit, put on your hottest makeup and maybe meet some fun people. But apparently the only people who were out today were creeps. You dropped your face into your open palm as you leaned against the bar you were sat at. You let your dark nails tap impatiently against the glass of your drink.
“Not an incredibly impressive lot, are they?” A smooth voice drawls out beside you. You turned to the voice to your right and you were met with ice blue eyes. You couldn’t help but let your confusion show on your face. There hadn’t been anyone in that seat just a moment ago. And you hadn’t heard anyone walk up. Blue eyes just chuckled at your confusion. “Did I scare you?” The smirk he gave you after saying this was nothing short of… demonic. You couldn’t help the chill that creeped up your spine when he spoke. In fact, you started feeling oddly cold ever since this conversation started. You had to mentally steel yourself, you weren’t usually one to let someone get under your skin. You sat up straight as you shot back at him.
“Not scared, just surprised at the audacity you had to approach me.” You couldn’t help but feel that you were pushing your luck somehow, but you couldn’t help yourself. To your surprise, that earned a brief chuckle from your new companion. You used this moment to take in more of his appearance. Pale skin, perfectly messy blond hair, the perfect amount of stubble all wrapped together in a brown leather jacket. You briefly remember a quote you read long ago about the devil being beautiful. You watched as the corners of your nameless companion’s lips slid up into a sinful smirk. If you didn’t know any better you'd say he was in your head, hearing every sinful thought you’d ever had. Before you could utter another word, blue eyes was flagging down the bartender and ordering you another drink. “I didn’t ask you to buy me a drink.” You spoke evenly, not wanting to betray your desire for the man beside you.
“No, but you wanted me to.” You were taken aback by the man’s confidence. He was right of course, but you didn’t want him to know that. So you just rolled your eyes and accepted the drink that was placed before you.
“You have no way of knowing that.” You challenge him. He leans in to you as though he’s about to share a dark secret.
“Honey, I know more about you than you do.” He sends a cocky wink your way before pulling away. You can’t ignore the small part of your brain that completely believes him.
“And what do you know about me?” You ask, desperately trying to keep your confident mask up.
“I know that you’re attracted to me, even though I make you nervous. I know that you’re bored of your dull life. You want an adventure. That’s part of why I approached you tonight.” The man lets his fingers trail gently up your arm as he speaks, seeming unconcerned with your rigid posture.
“And how exactly do you know all this?” You ask, slightly breathless.
“Because I am a powerful being that can read your mind.” You scoff at the notion. “See, you laugh, but deep down you know you want me to be telling the truth. Meeting an immortal entity that has the power to read minds is much more interesting than your normal day to day, don’t you think?” He places his head on his hand as he speaks to you, giving you a shockingly adorable look as he continues to speak.
“So you’re a vampire?” It’s his turn to scoff now. He raises his head again and sends you a playful glare.
“Don’t insult me sweetheart, you’re talking to one of the most dangerous beings on the planet here.” He shakes his head as if trying to rid himself of the apparently offensive comment.
“Who are you then?” As casually as the man beside you is acting, you must admit that you’re starting to feel nervous. You can’t help but feel that he has been nothing but honest with you so far. But if that is true, then why are you still talking to this incredibly dangerous individual? Surely it isn’t just because he’s attractive. And yet there is some part of you that is feeling a magnetic pull to the stranger.
“Promise you won’t get scared?” You nod. Waiting with baited breath. He leans in until he’s only a hair's width away from you and whispers in your ear. “Lucifer.” And when you turn to look him in the eyes you see his previously ice blue orbs turn red. You can’t help the wave of fear that washes over you, mixed with… something else.
“What do you want from me?” You whisper back, not trusting yourself to be able to speak normally without your voice wavering.
“I’ve been watching you for a while, little one.” His fingers reach up to stroke your hair. “I’m in the middle of taking over heaven. Long story. But when I do, I need a companion. Someone to rule by my side.” He drops a small kiss on your neck. “I want that person to be you.”
“Why me?” You whisper back to him. He pauses as he takes you in for a moment.
“Because, like I said, you���re bored of this life. And like me, I know you will rule with an iron fist.” You feel your lips slide into a grin as you listen to him speak. You don’t even feel ashamed by how quickly you answer.
“Yes.” Lucifer cracks a smile, and the two of you disappear. Leaving behind a half drunk glass of alcohol, ice steadily melting.

FALLING FROM GRACE
Tumblr media
Rated: SFW
Fandom: Obey Me!
Genre: Simeon x Female!MC
Theme: Corruption
A/N: No real trigger warnings that I can think of, just a bit of a Darker take on Simeon. 
Spoilers for Chapter 16
Tumblr media
As far as anyone knew, Simeon was loyal in his faith. He believed and followed like a good angel, despite having seen what happened in the Celestial War. 
Lucifer and his brothers had been his friends. His family. Being forced to fight them had left a mark on his heart, one he hid deep within. Their fall and the death sentence on Lilith had been enough to shake his faith, to begin with. 
Arriving in Devildom, he knew that it was likely not the best choice Michael could have made, but he knew he had to keep his façade on and continue to push through as Michael wanted. He would remain a loyal angel. 
It had been the human that shook his faith further. 
Humans were beings Angels were not really allowed to interfere with, so getting to spend time with them was a rare opportunity. 
She was so full of faith… not in the Father, not in heaven or angels, but in all of the people she befriended. 
“Simeon!” Her bright smile was enough to make him smile. The human was soft and sweet, despite the markings he sensed on her. She was bonded to the Avatars of the seven sins. Yet, the power did not seem to corrupt her. 
“Good morning.” His smile was light, soft as he gazed at her. This young woman always made his heart seem to lighten, yet she always brought more and more questions to his mind. She made him question all he knew, all he tried to push down, and he knew that having these questions can lead to falling. 
Unlike Lucifer and his siblings, Simeon had no real support system. If he fell, he was alone. That… scared him. 
“Are you okay? You seem…” She hesitated, gazing up at him as she tilted her head, “I want to say sad, but it isn’t… quite that.” Her voice was soft, unable to find the word for it. 
The surprise that flooded him was brief before it was covered in a mask. His fingers moved to gently take her hand, lifting soft fingers up as he leaned down, a soft kiss pressed to her knuckles. “Thank you for worrying about me, little feather.” His smile was soft, hiding the deeper feelings behind a wall of charm.
Her cheeks became slightly flushed, and Simeon was gripped with a desire to make her blush more. He knew that this human woman made him crave and pulled him further into temptation. After Lilith’s decisions, relationships with humans were banned among the Celestials. The Father did not want anyone to make Lilith’s mistake again because they grew too attached to a human. 
On the RAD campus, he often saw her, typically with Satan or Mammon. He only had a couple of classes with the young woman. She was not all that magically inclined. Well, that wasn’t true... He heard from Asmo about how much power she held when Solomon had lent her some of his magic ability. 
The level of magic she held made him curious… he knew her lineage. He did his research after he heard about her magic and despite Diavolo’s avoidance, he knew what they did. Simeon, despite knowing this, had no intention of reporting it. He believed in what they did, and why they did it. The Father may not have liked it, but Lilith deserved her life, whether as an angel or as a human. She did not deserve to be erased. 
Today was… unusual. She was alone, sitting on a bench. No Mammon, no Satan. No one was with her. The campus had emptied out rather quickly, so there weren’t many people lingering around. 
"May I?" He knew he should stay away. 
"Simeon? Of course." Her smile didn't reach her eyes and it made him glance her over, making sure she wasn't injured. When he was sure there was none, he sat with her. 
"What's wrong, little feather?" His fingers gently touched her cheek, brushing the soft skin slowly. He saw the way his touch lit a rose-colored blush on her cheeks. 
"I… they treat me differently. Since they found out I'm a descendant of Lilith." Her voice was small. "Not so much Mammon, but everyone else does…" She felt she could trust Simeon, she had since she first met him, it was why she didn’t keep the truth about Lilith a secret. 
Suddenly they all were very affectionate towards her. On one hand, it was nice… but they treated her like she was Lilith… and it bothered her. Because she wasn't any different, she was the same human girl that she was when she arrived. 
"You're not Lilith." Simeon sat back, and for a moment the mask fell. His bright smile melted down into a small frown, eyes gazing forward. 
The posture was something akin to Lucifer when he was frustrated. "I knew them… all that were up in the Celestial World. You and Lilith are similar, I cannot deny that fact. You both are kind and caring, you give people attention and hope. But… she made a choice and she risked a lot for it. She, whether they agree or not, became the catalyst to war, with her desire to save a human from illness." He heard the stories of why after she had died.
She was quiet, listening to him, all of her focus on him. She wasn’t used to Simeon being like this. This was different from how he normally was. He seemed… frustrated for her. 
"You have…not hidden things like your feelings, even if they are scrutinized." He saw how open she was with her affection for the brothers. Even the slow-growing affection with Belphégor. "You love openly and honestly." His voice was low as he gently gripped her chin, having her gaze at him. His blue eyes were locked on hers. 
Lips parted with a soft breath, "Simeon…?" 
The way she said his name made him shiver as his thumb moved to stroke her skin. He felt so many things as he looked at her, watching her cheeks darken to match his favorite roses. Her eyes were wide and focused only on him. 
The only place she should be looking at. 
There was a possessiveness that gripped him, he wanted to taste her lips, to claim her sounds… and draw her gaze every time they passed. Above all else… he wanted all of her. Selfishly, greedily, wanted her. 
The brothers had her love, her attention, had her. And he was jealous that they had such an amazing, beautiful woman at their back and they still didn't see her for herself. At least, not from only her actions. If it took knowing her heritage to finally see the woman she was, they should have been ashamed. 
“Simeon?” Her voice was hesitant and soft, her fingers gently brushing over his wrist, the touch was light and hesitant. 
“You deserve to be loved for who you are. Not who they see you as.” Simeon’s voice was low as his fingers pulled back until his hand closed around hers. 
Her hand gently held his, even as his grip was firm around hers, her touch was light, almost as if her grip had tightened it would scare him off. 
He took in her shy and surprised expression and his lips curled into a smile. “I believe I have overstepped.” He’d put the mask on and they’d pretend this never happened. 
“I… don’t know why you pretend so much.” Her voice was soft, almost a whisper. She didn’t want people to hear it, to know this side of Simeon. If he had wanted this side openly shown, he would have. “But… I am your friend. You can be yourself with me, Simeon.” Her fingers turned in his grasp, squeezing his hand. No longer afraid of scaring him off. He’d given her a gift, whether he realized it or not. 
His little feather was bolder than he expected. One bold action deserves another. 
“Thank you, little feather.” He leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead. “The brothers are excited because they miss Lilith. But do not let them confuse you.” His advice was gentle as the mask was carefully settled in place. “They’re all stubborn, but put your foot down, make sure they see that you are you and not her. And you won’t let them act like you are her beyond heritage.”
After a moment, he stood up from the bench, adjusting his cloak on his arms. “Be a good girl.” His voice was low, and something in the way he called her a good girl made the young woman squirm under his gaze. “If you need me, for any reason, you can always reach me on the phone… Even if I am not great with it.”
When he returned to the safety of his room, the door locked, safe from prying eyes, the mask fell once again. “Damnit.” His voice was hoarse as he looked into the mirror, fingers running through his hair. Every time he slipped up with his mask, it seemed to be harder to replace the next time. His eyes were darker, sharper. He hadn’t allowed his wings out in a while, and part of him was terrified to see them the same inky shade as Lucifer’s. 
If they were like that, he knew there was no returning home.
In his mind, there was the image of the young woman he’d sat with earlier that day. If he did fall to corruption, fall from Grace as Lucifer and his brothers did it would be because the feelings he had for her.

NSFW Lucifer fic
This was the first fic I wrote that spiraled my problems, aaaaaaand now I cant stop.
______________________________________________
Lucifer x Female MC
Summary:
"We'll continue this later" He says in a voice that's very soft, but just a tiny bit husky. I must have been standing there in awe, for the 4th time now, as he shot me a look when the door began to open and Barbatos came back in with refreshments. But inside I was screaming "Wait there’s more?!" My mind was racing, what more is he planning to give me, am I going insane?
Later, alone...
"Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep my hands off you?"
______________________________________________
I'd agreed to assist Lucifer with all the Halloween prep for a few reasons, for one, how could I say no to him between the ordering around and the cheeky smiles he knew I would agree. Two, it gives me more time with him which I'm always craving, so much lately. 
But while waiting for the info on Diavolo for his party, "There's someone else who is special to me" he said to me. He stepped forward slowly and the look in his eyes slowed down time, my breathe caught when he reached up and around my head to sink his hand in the crook of my neck and leaned forward to kiss my lips. My body responded by leaning into the kiss but my breathing gave me away when I took a sharp intake of air as he stepped back.  In 2 seconds flat my knees were weak and I knew my face must be burning red.
Over the time I've spent in the devildom he's flirted with me, charmed me with his smirks and been overly protective of me. That was very normal. Then it turned into more playful teasing, and lately he's gotten more physical. He wiped a crumb off my face last week at breakfast. I had woken up late so the boys were all gone, so I thought. I remember eating as quickly as possible when he walked in the room strode over to me with a gleam in his eye and wiped my cheek slowly and just lightly grazed my lower lip. I thought I was dreaming, he just chuckled at my disbelieving expression and walked away. Three days ago I was reaching for something a bit too high up in the kitchen and he came behind me and placed his gloved hands on my exposed waist to move me gently so he could reach what I was trying to get. And again, gave me a smirk and a chuckle as he walked away from my stiff body, which was heating up rapidly from such a tiny gesture. After school  yesterday he was asking me questions about a lecture I attended, I was going over the important notes with him when he reached up to my chin to gently raise my head higher and said "you continue to impress me" and cocked his head just slightly to one side before releasing my face and strolling away. And yet again, I was frozen in place with the warmth of my belly growing.
"We'll continue this later" He says in a voice that's very soft, but just a tiny bit husky. I must have been standing there in awe, for the 4th time now, as he shot me a look when the door began to open and barbatos came back in with refreshments. But inside I was screaming "Wait there's more?!"My mind was racing, what more is he planning to give me, am I going insane? But I managed to pull myself together and focus, while stealing small glimpses of Lucifer while we were taking notes.
When we arrived back to the house he bounded inside firmly stating "MC, please follow me to my study so we can compare notes' ' without checking to ensure I was keeping pace he just strode through the halls seeming unabated. I followed, maybe not with the same confidence, but I kept up his pace.
Once in the study he set a chair next to his desk for me and shut the door behind me, I felt like he was running circles around me while I was moving slow as a snail, still patiently waiting for him to explain that kiss, what was that?! I gave myself a little shake and as I began to walk over to his desk, he came right back to where I stood with a pained expression on his face and walked so furiously toward me. I dropped my notebook and I began taking steps back when my back finally hit the door with a soft thud and he slammed his palm into the door right above my shoulder.
"Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep my hands off you?" he sighed in a dangerously sultry voice that ignited flames in my belly  "You are so damn sexy" He breathed as he leaned in and got closer to the side of my face, my breathing was beginning to get ragged, and every word that came close to my lips died before they came out hearing him breath and feeling his warm breath on my skin. My face was burning hot and arousal was building up inside me so quickly I almost moaned and begged for more.
"You spend so much time assisting me" he brushed my hair away from my face and kissed my cheek. It was a hard kiss for my cheek and the pressure caused so much more heat in my body. My breath hitched and my legs felt as if they would give out any minute. My lips were parted and I was practically panting when he moved in closer to our bodies just barely touching. Then grabbing my hands with his and raising them just slightly above me. With a little pressure he pinned them against the door. I let out an audible gasp, but it came out more like a moan. The arousal in my belly was burning hot and my body was desperately begging to be touched.
"Tell me MC," he leaned in with a gleam in his eye looking like he was going to kiss me, then dipped his head to gently kiss my neck and this time a full on moan escaped my lips. "are you trying to please me?" he looked at me so fiercely, his eyes absolutely burning with desire. I would've said anything he wanted to hear in this moment just to have him tease me more. But it was a good chance to tell the truth, which was far hotter at that moment.
"Yes Lucifer," I breathed shakily, trying to shove the words out of my lips "I like pleasing you" . I wanted his mouth on me again so desperately that my body moved against his, my hips rolling against his hips, and I heard a low groan under his breath.
He pulled back one of his hands holding both of mine up with just one, with very little force as I was giving in to his every move. With his free hand he trailed his gloved finger down the side of my jaw, down my neck and just slowing down at the base of my cleavage sending shivers down my spine. I fought the urge to let my eyes roll back at his touch. "I want to reward you for being such a good girl," His voice took on a raspy deep tone. Then he popped open the top button on my shirt and my chest rose up a little urging him to go on "Would you like that MC?" He popped open the second button waiting for my answer.
"Please Lucifer" I managed to whimper and moan audibly enough for him to hear me and he pushed his body against me pinning me to the door. I could feel his erection hard against me and I gasped. In one motion he released my hands and they rested on his shoulders. He grabbed my legs pulling them up and wrapping them around his body. His fingers were gripping my thighs as he began kissing my lips, with such a gentle pace but I could feel him holding back. My hips instinctively tried to rock against him and he groaned into my mouth and bit my lower lip, shooting pain in the mix of my extreme arousal and I groaned back. "Take me please" I whimpered again. His eyes met mine and the look was pure hunger. He pulled back from the door supporting my weight as his hands slid over my ass gripping each cheek I moaned again.
He walked over to his desk and with one sweep pushed everything off to put me down on it. Once I was on the desk he stood a moment just looking at me, for a second it wasn't a devious hunger it was a look of admiration and he took in every piece of me. Feeling more confident  I began unbuttoning the rest of my shirt and biting my lip while he watched me. He smirked and pulled his gloves off slowly then his jacket, and for a moment we were both just grinning watching each other undress slowly. He was pulling off his shirt when I was down to my panties and bra and he leaned in to kiss me hard, our mouths were both desperate, his hands dragging along my body sending electricity through me. He began undoing my bra, then his pants and had me stand up to watch me drop my panties to the floor as I watched his cock spring out of his pants. His cock was as gorgeous as he was, smooth with light veins pushing out, nice and thick and longer than I was used to. But my body ached the second I saw it.
Putting his hands on my shoulders he spun me around and begin biting and sucking the curve of my neck on one side making my eyes roll back in my head and reached his hands up around my body to cup my boobs and roll each nipple in his fingers and my body was aching now to have his cock inside me. I gasped from the stimulation and I felt like exploding. My ass grinding against him feeling his cock pressed between my cheeks.  I couldn't believe I was here, Lucifer fully erect against my ass, ready to plow into me. The thought was exhilarating, but the feeling was pure delight.
One hand began trailing south when his fingers grazed my pussy lips which were very slick with my arousal and upon touching the wetness that took over my pussy lips I heard him let out a shuttered breath. As his finger slid down my folds I felt his cock twitch against my back and we both let out a groan "You’re soaking wet for me" he mused. I simply nodded my head as his fingers found my clit and began rubbing side to side making my legs convulse slightly. He slipped two fingers in and out picking up speed and I was moaning like clockwork with the rhythm he finger fucked me
"Do you want me to fuck you now?" his lips brushed my ears and my pussy clenched automatically
"Yes'' I begged "Please" Pushing my ass against him more "I want to feel you inside me" He pushed me forward and my torso down on the desk so my nipples were against his cold desk and immediately his cock was pushing inside me stuffing me as he entered me halfway. I moaned , grabbing the edge of the desk desperate to grab at something turning my head  and saw the pure ecstacy on his face making my pussy grip him tighter, causing him to buck his hips shoving his entire length inside me. A guttural scream escaped my lungs and I started begging for more. "Oh fuck, like that" He picked up the pace and started pounding into me. I was practically panting, savoring every time his hips crashed into me and his cock barreled into my depths. I could feel my legs start to shake and my eyes rolling in my head, feeling so close to losing control.
"Mmm that's my good girl" he said as his palm slapped my ass with a sharp sting, causing my pussy to tighten again and he groaned. Grabbing my ass he pulled out of me and took my body to flip me so my back was on his desk,  and positioned his cock against my hole.  "You look so good on my desk" he said with a cheeky grin as he pushed slowly into me. The speed was so slow I was groaning and grabbing at his chest, and he grabbed my nipples and started rolling them in his fingers. He was watching every inch of me, watching me ache desperate for more, seeing my pussy swallow him up and my face as he squeezed my nipples. But the pace was still slow, he was dragging his cock in and out of me and I was aching for him to go harder and faster.
One hand trailed off from my boobs down to my pussy where his fingers rubbed circles on my clit gently. I was gasping and repeating "yes" over and over as he got faster rubbing my clit, my legs started to shake desperate for him to fuck me hard and make me cum.
"Harder please, Luci" I begged reaching up to his neck and pulling to him
"You want me to fuck you harder?" he readjusted so he could lean against me with his pelvis against my clit, locking my hair between his fingers, before I could answer he yanked on my hair and started pounding me.
The desk was bumping rhythmically against the wall as Lucifer drilled me with what felt like every ounce of his willpower over and over. I was so full and the pressure of him filling me was so painfully good I knew I was going to explode.
"Oh f- Luci, I-" I couldn't talk while taking him over and over so deep and so hard, but I was so close. All that came out was constant moans in tune with his rhythm
"Cum for me" he said with a burning ferocity and I felt my whole body shake at his command.
"Oh yes" I cried out, my back arching instinctively, gripping around his neck pulling him close as my orgasm flooded me in waves of release. My pussy contracted and quivered against his hard cock and I felt him push inside me as hard and deep as he could.
He let out a grunt grabbing my hips and pulling me hard against his as he reached his climax. I could feel his cock spasm and empty inside me as he bit down on my shoulder moaning into my skin.
After a few moments of catching our breath lucifer paused looking over me in pleasure, I caught his eye and he smirked at me 
"I do expect you'll compose your notes tonight still"
"I-"
"Relax, i'm joking," he leaned down to kiss me hard as he slowly pulled his cock out of me, leaking our juices on the floor. "Let's get cleaned up"
He helped me off the desk safely and led me by hand to the shower.

Veritas Vos Liberabit
The truth will set you free.
Next Part
A/N: This is part one. There won’t be too many parts, so expect like max 15. And yes, this is a Lucifer/Sherlock crossover.
For the first time, you felt absolutely free.
Your father was in Los Angeles, far away from your newfound home in London. Well, temporary, you were sure.
While your freedom was certainly enjoyable, you felt a twinge of guilt for leaving your father without a proper goodbye. However, you knew if you said goodbye, he’d convince you to stay. He was always good at that sort of thing.
You loved him, you truly did, but he treated you like a child. Which, yes, compared to his age you were most definitely a child, but he was forgetting that you weren’t like him.
Well, not entirely like him at least.
Besides, London was giving you a chance to experience life like a normal person. You’d spent so many years hidden away from the world, you’d barely had time to actually live your life.
Your father told you it was for your safety, which was fair enough considering the amount of enemies he had, but you still needed to experience life while you could. You knew deep down your father wouldn’t understand, even if he tried.
You sighed, looking on the city with a sense of trepidation. You’d been living in Los Angeles for a while now, but you’d had your father with you. This time you were completely alone in one very large city.
You shook your head, facing the door next to the home you’d decided to rent. You lifted your hand to knock, but as you did somebody opened the door.
“You were taking too long,” the man stated, his eyes narrowed as he looked you up and down.
It was analytic, you could tell. Considering who your father was, you tended to attract stares everywhere you went, just as he did. Something he once said floated back into your mind.
“Humans tend to have an affinity for the divine. It’s… desirable.”
This was different though. He was scanning you, looking for answers by observing. It was unsettling, to say the least.
“Okay, um, hi.” You raised a brow.
“American?” He inquired, leaning in a titch more. He smelled all around your collarbone before stepping back.
“Something like that,” you muttered, “can you quit with the,” you gestured vaguely.
“Yes, right, what’s your case?” He asked, leaving the doorway to head up the stairs. Curiously, you followed him up.
“I don’t have one,” you replied, “I’m here for the apartment next door. I wanted to introduce myself.”
“Ah, yes, the new neighbor,” he said, “delightful.”
“Who are you bugging now, Sherlock?” A new voice questioned from the room just beyond the stairs.
“We’ve got a new neighbor,” Sherlock introduced, ushering you into the room.
It was a bit messy, but in a way you knew the inhabitants could easily navigate through it. The man that Sherlock was talking to was sitting in a chair, setting a paper aside so he could properly introduce himself.
You took notice of the damn blink that everybody did, usually right before they try to charm the wits off you. It was all too familiar, and annoyingly comforting in a weird way. It made you feel closer to your dad.
“Hi,” he breathed, “I’m John Watson.”
You smiled politely, holding your hand out for him to shake. He did so, though you noted that his touch lingered longer than acceptable.
“Right,” Sherlock drawled, watching his friend closely.
“I’m (Y/N),” you introduced yourself.
“You’re from America,” John concluded.
Once more, you let that tidbit of information slide by. If they wanted to believe you were from America, so be it. It was easier to explain than where you were actually from.
“I hope that’s not a problem,” you laughed awkwardly.
To be quite honest, there were still many things you felt entirely trivial about. One of those things just happened to include the rest of the world besides Los Angeles, considering you’d never been.
“Not at all,” John assured you with a friendly smile.
You let out a relieved sigh.
“Glad to hear,” you mumbled, looking from one occupant to the next. “I just figured I’d stop to say hi and, uh, if-“
“Why did you choose here?”
Sherlock interrupted you, still scrutinizing your every move. If you hadn’t been so taken off guard, you may have laughed.
“I’m sorry?”
“You’ve got a lot of money from your…” he leaned forward an inch, his eyes flicking down to your hand, then back to your face, “father. Could’ve had any flat in London and you chose here. Why?”
“Uh, I-“
“Nervous, but happy,” he paused thoughtfully, “running from home? First time outside of America. No, even more, first time outside of home. Where is it? A city, has to be. You’re fine wi-“
“Stop that.”
John was quick to stop Sherlock’s tirade, an apology in his expression and a hand on his friend’s shoulder that was meant to shut him up.
“Quite the mind reader,” you joked weakly, chuckling nervously. For your sake, you seriously hoped he wasn’t. Humans couldn’t be, but you could never be too sure on what creatures lurked about, especially outside of the comfortable corner of the world your father carved out for you.
“Observation,” he corrected, and you nearly breathed a sigh of relief before deciding that doing so would be far too suspicious.
“He’s quite good at it, and won’t let you forget it anytime soon.”
You smiled politely to John. Of the two, he was the more familiar one. You had met so many different kinds of people during your stay in Los Angeles, and none had been able to pick apart your character by way of observation.
“I’m from Los Angeles,” you supplied.
Sherlock clicked his tongue, as if that had been one of the cities he’d narrowed the list to. Basing his ability solely off of the brief interaction you’ve had with him thus far, you wouldn’t be surprised if it was.
“I’m not running from home, exactly.” You shrugged, a half smile on your lips. “I am an adult anyways, not like it’s illegal. I just wanted to see more of the world, explore life outside of home.”
Sherlock hummed to himself, like he was trying to piece you together and he had managed to click that extra bit of information into a slot. John, on the other hand, seemed to find your response endearing.
Unlike Sherlock, he wasn’t analyzing your every word and move. He was taking what you said at face value, and empathizing with your story. 
“Never been to Los Angeles myself,” John cleared his throat, hoping to continue the small talk.
“You should, it’s an interesting city,” you offered a genuine smile, ignoring the twinge of longing. You really did love Los Angeles, and being away from home hurt just as badly as it felt good. “If you ever do find yourself there, stop by Lux. My father owns it.”
“So I was right,” Sherlock muttered, “rich family. Old money or new?”
Your expression turned to something decidedly mischievous.
“To be quite honest, my family has never really needed money.”
If Sherlock was confused by your statement, he made no effort to show it. The brief furrow of John’s brow was the only evidence you’d even spoken your words aloud.
“Anyways, I just wanted to introduce myself. My door is always open if you need it.”
“Likewise,” John said kindly, a soft twinkle in his gaze. The exchange was interrupted by Sherlock’s annoyed huff.
“Oh, don’t be ridiculous John, the door is locked quite often. As should yours, London can be a rather dangerous place.”
“Unfortunately for London, so can I,” you joked lightly, tugging at the chain around your neck. It had become something of a reminder of home.
On it was a gift from your father, something to carry with you so you can always remember him. A promise, really.
See, Lucifer wasn’t your father in the biblical sense. (The irony.) He raised you, but you were, by all rights, his baby sister. (Emphasis on baby, you’d only been kicking for 22 years.) Instead of being raised in the Silver City, you had been left at the gates of Hell, without a word of explanation. While Lucifer hadn’t asked, nor wanted, the newfound paternal responsibility, he assumed the role with minimal complaints.
If you were being honest, he was an amazing father. He had allowed you to flourish and be the person you wanted to be, not the vision he had for you. However, he had a tendency to be overzealous and project his fears onto you. He was worried the whole world was against him, and if he weren’t there to protect you, then you’d be taken from him.
The concept seemed ridiculous to you, considering you were 22 years old and had never had so much as a scraped knee, but he was adamant. Thus, the only way to escape his watchful eye and truly experience life- if only for a little while- was to leave.
“I can give you my number,” John suggested, quickly backtracking as soon as he realized what his words implied. “If you- I mean, so you can let me know if you need anything.”
Your smile was wide as you handed him your phone. Truth be told, outside of the few close confidants you had in Los Angeles, there were few people you’d had the chance to really get to know. John and Sherlock seemed like nice enough people, and they were going to be your neighbors for the time being.
He typed his number in quickly, as Sherlock watched the interaction curiously. There was something in the way he observed that had you smiling. The staring was familiar territory, but the intent was different.
“I suppose,” John began, handing you back your phone with the utmost care.
He exchanged a glance with his roommate before rocking on his feet.
“We work odd jobs so there may be some noises…”
You quirked an amused brow. They seemed a fair bit more interesting than you were expecting. You waved off his worry.
“I survived living with my father for as long as I did, I promise it can’t get any weirder or noisier than that.”
The look John gave you made you think he definitely thought it could, but he didn't voice any more concerns. Instead, he gave you a gentle goodbye and walked you back to the door of your actual apartment. Sherlock hadn’t bothered to come, even though you were almost hoping he would.
There was something peculiar about him, and you wished to have more time to evaluate just what that was, but in the meantime you were left alone to your devices.
Once John had left, you found yourself leaning back against the door to look at the bare interior of your new home. The thumping of your heart slowed to a near standstill as you took in the wooden floors and the brick walls. It wasn’t overly fancy, like what your father owned, but it was yours. (Well, you were renting it, but the fact still remained.)
Tears filled your eyes, and you couldn’t quite understand why. The aching in your chest was rivaled by the freedom in your veins. You’d never really had the opportunity to answer the question of who you were. It’d always been what your father thought best, or what you could do to help him. Now, nobody would tell you what to do, or how to decorate your new apartment, or who you could befriend. However, your father wouldn’t be there to tell you everything would be okay, or remind you how very important you were to him, or how capable you were. 
Freedom had never tasted so bittersweet.
“Decorating tomorrow,” you told the empty space, a small smile on your lips.
For tonight, you’d continue to be the person who left your home in Los Angeles to start over in London. You’d be the one who ran from home to discover a life out from under the man who had raised you.
Tomorrow, though, you’d finally start the journey of figuring out who you were.
It’d start with furniture. Then a job maybe, some friends, a hobby…
The options were endless, and you found yourself buzzing with the opportunity to discover what would make you happy.

Title: Fear & Loving in Devildom, Part 2 Pairing: Belphegor x female!MC Rating: M for discussions of mature themes Summary: Belphie is guilt-ridden, but also horny. Funny how often those two things coincide when you catch feels for the girl you killed. Notes: Yet another follow up to my Belphegor fics- A “maybe”, On the Way to a “Yes” and Fear & Loving in Devildom, Part 1
Tumblr media
Belphegor had slept through the lunch break, arms folded over his desk as he breathed in deeply and even. He’d been sleeping very well lately. He always slept well, but there was something particular satisfying of late. In fact, his entire mood had been improved, even Beel remarking on how he was spending less time tormenting Levi and “stirring up shit” between Lucifer and Satan.
Half awake, he turned his cheek into his arm and heft a contented sigh before letting his mind go soft and blank.
A heavy weight abruptly draped over him, a chin digging into his back.
“Hey. You think you could knock me up? Being different species I was thinkin’ no, but then I realized I don’t actually know.”
God help him.
Belphegor didn’t respond, trying to fake being asleep now as his moment of peace slowly drifted away. Her weight disappeared and he watched her through half closed lids as she puffed out her stomach and rubbed a hand over it.
“We can name it Damien!”
“Please don’t insinuate our love child would be the anti-christ.” He said, voice muffled.
She laughed, puffing out the breath she was holding. She crouched down by his desk, forcing him to make room as she rested her own arms over the surface and meeting his eyes.
“Have I worn you out?” She asked smugly.
“No, but it would appear you are ‘reforming’ me.”
“I heard. Beel was saying you’ve been in a spectacularly good mood. Can’t imagine who is responsible for that miracle.”
She winked. Belphegor said nothing and opted to just watch her smile and be frustratingly beautiful.
“So whatcha think? Should we like, do the tried and true pull-out method from here on or invest in some condoms?”
“No complaints to pull out. I would like to see you on your knees like this, your face covered in my—“
At that moment, the door opened as a rabble of RAD students came pouring in. Lucifer among them. The eldest eyes had immediately settled on them upon his entering.
“— affection.” Belphegor finished.
She practically beamed as she snickered. He hid his face in his arms to avoid having to greet Lucifer as he made his way over to them. She stood up straight, fluffing out her skirt as she grinned up at him.
“Are you feeling well now? I was informed you took a sick day this week.” Lucifer said, his deep voice smooth and soft with genuine concern. Belphegor fisted his own sleeve beneath his hand.
“Oh— yeah. I’m fine now. Just had a bit of a cold. Probably not even a cold! Probably allergies.”
More like she’d been so sore from the perfectly thorough fucking he had given her, she could barely move her legs. Belphegor’s smile was hidden from sight.
“You should wear a face mask when you’re outside.” Lucifer said, half reprimanding.
“I will! No worries, I will take care of myself.”
Belphegor hated how sweetly she spoke to Lucifer, bouncy and light. It was the same way she talked to everyone but still, he hated it. Despite that, he would never try and crush that spark in her. She was a social butterfly and that charm was part of why he loved her. She had a light in her that drew in everyone like moths to the flame… he could hardly blame them for wanting to bask in this little sun here in Devildom.
Lucifer must have nodded, because their conversation stopped and he heard his footsteps fading away. She crouched down again, voice a whisper.
“What were you saying there? Something about covering me in your affections?”
“Don’t know what you’re talking about.”
She smiled, wicked and amused before finally the teacher arrived and she had to go back to her own seat.
Belphegor didn’t care much to keep their growing relationship a secret from his brothers, but deferred to her wishes. She wanted to keep the “peace” for now, until she had time to properly show they were a couple. Belphegor was certain Beel had suspicions, if not just downright knew about them. Others who had likely tuned in were Asmo and Satan, one simply because of his intelligence and observation skills, the other because he probably could sense the change in the air by pheromones or some wacky Lust based shit.
No one had displayed too much objection to their spending time together except for Mammon, but that was to be expected. Mammon loved her. He loved her the way Belphegor loved Lilith. Devoted, but familial. This fact had kept Belphegor from glaring too many daggers Mammon’s way when she went off to hang out with him and play model at Majolish… or the fact that every other Devilgram selfie she posted seemed to include Mammon.
Jealousy still coldly laced its way through Belphegor’s blood sometimes, but despite himself, he knew she loved Mammon too. He was her first man, her best friend. There were things he could never replaced that Mammon gave her… but he reminded himself, there were things he gave her that Mammon definitely did not. The sound of her voice and the touch of her body, welcome and inhibited was all Belphegor’s. It was childish perhaps, to think of all the things Belphegor had wrung from those lips, all the things he had sparked in her heart that Mammon did not… but it calmed the beast in his chest.
After class, he had expected to find her waiting, but instead found the person he least wanted to speak to.
Lucifer gestured to him, waving his index and middle finger to beckon. Belphegor’s eyes narrowed, but he crossed the hallway at his leisure and came to stand nearby.
“What do you want?”
Lucifer normally would have prickled up at the disrespect, but Belphegor was surprised to find there was not even a trace of indignation in his older brother’s expression.
“I need to speak with you. Come with me.”
Any of the other brother’s would have felt anxiety at this no doubt, except maybe for Satan. Belphegor merely frowned.
“Do you remember what happened the last time you asked me somewhere to talk?”
Lucifer sighed, “Would you like to bring Beel with you?”
That… was not what he expected. A reprimand, a threat or a repetition of his demand? All possibilities. This? Not so much.
“I don’t need a sitter.”
“Then come along.”
Belphegor knew better than to try and force out a “please”.
It didn’t take long for Belphegor to recognize where they were going. Diavolo’s office. Thankfully, the room was devoid of Diavolo or his little servant, Barbatos.
“Why here?”
“Privacy.” Lucifer answered, leaning against the edge of Diavolo’s desk. It seemed even he wouldn’t presume to sit in Diavolo’s chair.
Belphegor noted Lucifer gesture for him to sit in one of the plush chairs before the desk, but Belphegor, despite himself, elected to stand.
“This is all wonderfully morbid, but if you could get to the point…”
“I have tolerated your cheek until present because… of the situation. But I would ask that you mind your tongue for the remainder and let me speak. I have questions. I ask you answer them simply and truthfully.”
Belphegor said nothing, fixing Lucifer with a piercing stare. When the silence had stretched out enough to Lucifer’s liking, he spoke again.
“What do you plan to do when she leaves Devildom and returns home?”
“Who-“
“Simply and truthfully.”
Lucifer’s voice was tinged with barely veiled anger. If Belphegor kept pushing him, he’d pop… and on a normal day, that would be a good time in his eyes, but for now Belphegor crossed his arms.
“I will visit her.”
“Frequently?”
“As frequently as possible.”
Lucifer nodded, “And where do you intend to find the energy reserves to propel the glyphs for such frequent trips? You’ll expend your own fast enough.”
“… the others will want to visit her too. We can share the burden.”
“Is that what you want? Visiting her with everyone?”
Belphegor frowned deeper. Sharing the burden would also mean sharing her and her time.
“I’ll make it work.”
“I suppose there is no point in asking if you have already been… intimate with her?”
“Not that it is any of your business, but yeah, Lucifer. I have. I made a pact with her.”
“And now you’re sleeping with her.” Lucifer said, less a question and more a simple disapproving statement.
“We fuck on occasion too.”
“How crass.” Lucifer said, distaste evident in how he wrinkled his nose and furrowed his brow, “So she is simply a means to sate your desires? An object of pleasure?”
“… why are you asking these questions? What is your game?”
“I am protecting her.”
Belphegor laughed, curt and mirthless.
Lucifer continued on unfazed, “You have made a selfish and fatal error. What do you think will come of this? You will break her heart and I will not allow it.”
“I have no intention of hurting her you presumptuous—“
“Your intentions are worthless. She will return to the human realm at the end of the term and there is nothing you or I or anyone can do to stop it! And this entanglement will only serve to prolong her suffering when that day comes! Have you thought nothing about this? What it would mean?”
Belphegor felt his throat seize around his words, keeping them strangled in his throat as he stared at Lucifer, eyes narrowed with growing rage… not all of it for Lucifer.
“… you’re a demon, Belphie.”
He hated hearing that nickname come from Lucifer’s lips, especially when he said it so gently.
“She’s a human. She belongs up there, not here with us.”
“Why did you even bring her in the first place?” Belphegor spoke, his voice raspy and low as he struggled to get out the words, “Why allow Diavolo to do it? I told you… it was a bad idea.”
“Do not pretend you were trying to prevent this. Not when we both know it was hatred that spurred your displeasure at that time… and now? You’re the very reason it has this… complication.”
Belphegor swallowed, tasting acid and feeling something still starting right at the height of his throat, spreading prickles over the roof of his mouth. He… he hadn’t thought about her leaving. He truly hadn’t. It had always felt like something he would have time for later, even as he lamented his “lack of time”. A part of him just… just assumed she would stay.
“What do you want from me? You want me to… what? Break her heart now? Lie to her? Tell her I don’t love her?”
Lucifer stiffened at the word, trying to keep his eyes from giving away his surprise as he met Belphegor’s own. Belphegor was certain he was a pitiful visage and Lucifer seeing it only added an edge to it that made him seem even more a pouting child.
“You love her?”
Belphegor bristled, anger making him quick to speak how he truly felt without a thought, “With every breath I breathe.”
It was Lucifer’s turn to look stunned. The rush died down as quickly as it sprung up, leaving Belphegor slow to speak once again.
“I... tried to keep my distance, but she wore me down… I… I didn’t intend…”
Too much. Belphegor closed that gate up as soon as he opened it, turning his face away from Lucifer’s scrutiny. He wished he could go back to those days, when he was young and full of light and trust and his older brother was someone he could talk to… someone he could confide in.
He’d forgotten himself, but it was only a momentary lapse. Lucifer must have sensed this, because his own demeanor relaxed and his arms fell from where they were crossed over his chest to his sides.
“This… is not a situation I think anyone was prepared for.” Lucifer said at length and Belphegor took it for the olive branch, masked as a non-answer, it was intended to be.
“I would have been remise in my duties as your brother if I did not speak up.”
Belphegor winced, “You picked a hell of a time to start giving a shit about that.”
“I have always ‘given a shit’, Belphegor.”
Ah, he was “Belphegor” again. “Always. You spent so much time with your head up your ass you just can’t see it.”
There was something… fond? In the way Lucifer said that? He even chuckled faintly.
“You’d know all about that.”
Lucifer snorted, “About being a rebellious child? Yes. In fact I do. Mankind wrote a lovely book about it, I suggest giving it a read.”
Belphegor laughed, surprising himself. When did Lucifer get a sense of humor? It did some to ease the tension, but still Belphegor was fairly certain he’d like to be anywhere but here.
“…I suppose I would just ask you be thoughtful to the situation. Understand that this relationship, should you both continue to pursue it, will have obstacles. Many obstacles. I say this to prepare you. And I suggest, if you have not already, you speak of it with her. It is all well and good to enjoy your time together, but at some point… be sure she understands what it means too. And if she is willing to traverse those obstacles with you.”
Lucifer averted his eyes in his usual fashion, looking up and away rather than down. Never down.
“It’s not just her getting hurt I worry about.”
“Ugh, gross.” Belphegor said, rolling his eyes for effect. Lucifer did not look remotely amused.
“I have said what I wanted to say. Though one last bit of advise…don’t be within arm reach when Mammon finds out.”
He flashed a wicked smile. Belphegor scoffed at it before he quickly left the room.
Belphegor’s D.D.D. had vibrated a couple times in the office and now looking through it he saw her usual messages, oversaturated with emoji.

(っ˘ω˘ς )
Belphegor found her where she said she would be, perched on the edge of a beanbag chair while playing a racing game against Levi. Given Levi’s attentiveness, she must have been doing well.
“Eh?! Another blue shell?!”
“Goddamn Baby Peach!!” She hissed in reply, clearly neither of them in possession of the dreaded item.
“Back up! Back up!!!”
“I’m trying!!” Levi said in a panic, both attempting to drop far back enough in the race lineup to avoid getting hit. It was too little too late, with the shell colliding into Levi’s character and then she was unable to get back up passed third place. The ending theme played and both of them threw themselves back with a groan.
“Remind me to never let you two drive me anywhere…” Belphegor said, finally getting their attention. Levi frowned, but she? She positively lit up, beaming at him with open delight.
“I gotta go, take me outta this round, Levi.”
“What? Already? I wanted to play a grand prix with you…”
“We can tonight! I’ll come back to play more after dinner, but I got some things I need to do for class and Belphie is helping me out.”
Levi didn’t look entirely convinced, but the promise of more game time coupled with how sweetly she was batting her eyelashes at him was a critical hit.
“Don’t be madddd, please?”
“..o-okay. Later then. Belphie, you should come play too.”
“Yay! We will!” She said, answering for Belphegor. She leaned in and gave Levi a peck on the cheek, sending the otaku directly to cloud nine. Belphegor tried to hide the tight grimace he made at the sight.
When she lifted up her hand for Belphegor to help her up, he was a bit rougher than usual, as if pulling her away from his brother.
“Later.” Belphegor managed and then ushered her out into the hall.
“Quit pushing, ya jerk.” She mumbled, pulling her arm free. Apprehension took the place of her cheerful demeanor, twisting her mouth into a frown.
“What did Lucifer say?” She whispered, looking around to make sure no other brothers were hanging around this part of the house.
“About what you’d expect. He knows about us.”
She clapped her hands over her face, half laughing and half groaning.
“Glad you find the possibility of me getting straight up murdered so funny.” Belphegor said with a chuckle.
“It’s not that! Just… god, I can’t even imagine his face. He must have been so uncomfortable… kinda wish I had been there.”
You love her?
With every breath I breathe.
Belphegor was pretty certain he was glad she wasn’t, the memory of his own words made his face feel hot. He hoped silently that it didn’t show.
“It was dumb. Just telling me to ‘be careful’ and usual Lucifer bullshit.”
“Ohh? Be careful of me? The lusty human exchange student?”
“Bit late for him to be warning me about that.”
She swatted him in the shoulder and Belphegor caught her hand, making a quick look around the hall himself before he pressed her up against a wall and kissed the smirk off her lips. For as sleepy as he was, there was nothing tired in his kiss. Like a spark on matches, one strike and he could feel her body light up.
She giggled incessantly into his mouth, the feeling like pop rocks of mirth and joy within his very soul. No matter how hard he kissed her or how he pressed his tongue against her own, still she was ever sparkling and noisy.
When he drew back she gave him one last tiny lick to his bottom lip, an enticement, but Belphegor restrained himself for now.
“…he also mentioned the end of the year is coming up.”
And just like that, her spark began to fade, settling unto the back burner as her expression softened to one of almost veiled disappointment. He knew it was the carefreeness she was disappointed to lose, but even she had to be serious sometimes.
“So?”
“…So?” Belphie repeated, eyebrow raising slightly.
“Yeah, so what?” She said, “I’ve already decided. I’m not going back.”
Now it was Belphegor’s turn to look snuffed out, drawing back and looking at her with a frown. He said her name gently and then, “…Diavolo isn’t going to give you a choice.”
“That’s such bullshit,” she seethed, voice rising, “…I’ll visit then. I’ll visit all the time.”
“How? You aren’t a witch.”
“Solomon maybe. Something. Maybe Mammon will tell me where his witches are!”
“You’re not making a deal with witches when you have pacts with us.” Belphegor said with an edge of warning, protectiveness coming out of him in an almost oppressive wave. There was just a hint of sulfur on the air.
“So… so then you’ll come visit! ...right?”
The way she said it, so uncertain, hesitant and unassuming… as if she genuinely believed there was a possibility the answer would be ‘no’ but was trying in vain to hide it.
“Of course I will.”
“Yeah… yeah, of course. Yeah.”
“Stop that…” he murmured, leaning forward to kiss her cheek and then her forehead.
“What? Stop what?”
“Acting like you didn’t think I would!”
“I’m not acting…” she defended herself with a grumble and Belphegor felt his stomach sink.
“I love you, you belong to me. I would never let you out of my sight for long.” Belphegor said, voice harsh and low so no one but her could hear. Whenever he said those words they were never gentle, but earnest and firm, as if he were still trying to convince her… and he could hardly be blamed with how shocked she seemed each time he said it.
It had nothing to do with Belphegor, this was something in her own thoughts and heart that made her worry such affections couldn’t possible be directed at her. Belphegor snaked his arms around her, pulling her in close enough that he could press his forehead to hers, his hands laced together and resting against her lower back.
After a moment and a soft sigh, she lifted her arms up around his neck and pressed back hard enough that Belphegor muttered a half-hearted “ow” as she dug her own forehead into his.
It felt so safe, so warm and secure in his arms… his entire body had relaxed beneath her own touch and together they enjoyed the brief reprieve from the stress and far away worry of her departure.
Belphegor’s eyes were getting heavy, lids falling and fluttering as he fought back the urge to fall forward into her and just let himself dose, wrapped up in her scent.
“… we’ll figure it out when we get to that point.” She said at length. Belphegor mumbled an agreement and did finally move to sink his forehead against the crook of her neck, huffing a heavy contented sigh. The wall behind her kept them upright, but she batted at his back after a moment.
“You’re smashing me.”
“You never complained before.”
“Different kind of smashing!”
Belphegor chuckled darkly, but even she knew there was no chance of him finding the energy for such activities anytime soon. His avatar was claiming its needed afternoon nap and the aura was enough to make even her feel a sudden need to sleep.
“Attic nap time?”
“Mmhm, yes.” Belphegor said, more than happy to retreat to their private world away from the rest of the House of Lamentation. It was strange how a prison had now become a refuge, a sanctuary where nothing mattered… just him… and her.
She yelped in shock when he bent down and scooped her up with ease. She locked her arms tighter around his shoulders and her legs around his waist as his hands gripped under her thighs.
She giggled, releasing some of her hold with her legs so she could give them a few girlish kicks.
“Don’t make me drop you… I’m not as strong as Beel.”
Belphegor wouldn’t, of course. His strength far surpassed a human and carrying her felt like carrying nearly nothing at all… except for just the slight edge of heaviness in his own limbs from tiredness. Regardless, his words got her to tighten her legs around his waist again, a sensation he greatly enjoyed.
“Take me to bed or lose me forever.” She said, quiet and giggling by his ear.
Belphegor snorted, but he knew the follow up line from the human film well enough now.
“Show me the way home.”

Read on ao3
“…okay that’s it!”
Mammon’s voice echoed in the dining room as he slammed his hands on the table. A small, and yet determined glare on his face as he starred at Asmodeus. His sudden reaction making the younger demon jump, as Belphegor kept napping like nothing had happened. Asmodeus looked almost uninterested at his older brother, raising an eyebrow as he placed his cup down before sighing.
“Mammon don’t be so loud. I barely got any sleep last night.” He stated, fixing his gaze to be back on the cup. He was beyond tired. He hadn’t been sleeping or eating well, his head was a mess, confusion, doubt, and strange feelings deep inside of him. And like always, he wasn’t step closer to figuring anything out.
Every time he took a step it felt like whatever answered was bestowed upon him made him walk five back. He didn’t know what to do…what he needed. Another term got in the way, a contradiction that put everything on another angle, it was never-ending, it was soffocating. First it was Belphegor, then Leviathan, and the most recent being Satan. His head was a total mess that kept him awake at night. And even if he tried to sleep at night, the voices that came along with the long lasting feelings; the visions on his mind just made it utterly impossible to get even a second of rest. If it wasn’t because Beel had forced him to come down to eat something, he wouldn’t have left his room today at all either. He was thankful that they had the decency to not be all on the dining room at once. But then again, they had left him with the loudest of his brothers, and he already knew this day was going to be anything but peaceful.
“Don’t be so loud my ass. You have been acting like Leviathan lately, which is totally freaky. So,” Mammon, smirking, slammed his hands on the table again, getting him a glare from Asmodeus. “I am taking you out tonight. And be grateful, little brother, your favorite big bro will be paying!” Mammon had an almost satisfied smirk at his declaration, making Asmodeus raise an eyebrow.
“…you didn’t say anything about Lucifer joining as well.” Asmo teases, which merely gets him a glare from Mammon.
“I meant me and you know it!” He hisses, before shaking his head. “That’s beyond the point. Get ready, tonight we are going somewhere, and I will NOT take a no for an answer!” Mammon pointed his finger at Asmodeus, making him sigh yet again, letting his head rest on his palm as his elbow rested on the table, a distant expression in his eyes.
If Mammon had proposed that at least a month ago, Asmodeus would have jumped on the opportunity immediately. It was rare for his brothers to join him, and while he used to have a lot of fun, their presence just made it better. Correction: he thought he had lots of fun. Now…well, he wasn’t so sure. Could that be considered fun? The dancing, the touching, the loud music, the screaming, his skin burning as some stranger pulled him away from the entire night… He didn’t want that again. At least not at the moment. He wasn’t sure if in the future he would be able to go those places again, experience the same euphoria he felt the after falling; but right now he would rather stay where no one could bother him.
He understood Levi a little better now. In his room…he could just be. No other soul to bother his solace, as he could keep digging deeper into those thought that slowly intoxicated and even suffocated him. The feelings of loneliness and that hatred that made its home into the demon’s mind, just kept growing as every day passes…no, ‘days’ was a large stretch, from the moment Asmodeus sat down to this very second, he already had sunk far deeper into the silent desperate pleas the unknown made to him. Asmodeus starred for a second more at Mammon before shaking his head, only for his sight to fall on the table, making his older brother frown. They were worried, and he had thought maybe coercing Asmodeus to go out would cheer him up a bit, it used to be his whole life after all. But now…it seemed like he had just made things worse.
“…I’m tired. I don’t want to leave the house.” He stated, getting up from the table, leaving his glass forgotten, Mammon merely frowned before sighing. There must be a way to make Asmodeus feel better, somehow. “Oh, and Mammon?” Once he looked up, he saw Asmodeus had stopped just in front of the door, his face still turned in the direction of the hallway, only for him to give Mammon a side look as he smiled for what could be the first time in a while. “…it’s you and I, not me and you.”
“…why you little-! If ya have enough energy to make fun of me then ya should use it elsewhere!”
Asmodeus let out a soft chuckle as he walked away from his brother, who had woken up Belphegor and was now facing the consequences of such a deed. Consequences… Was that it? Is that the reason why he was feeling so tormented? Why he no longer could stand the thought of someone setting their eyes upon him? Had he gone so long misbehaving in ways that utterly destroyed his mind and body, but he kept pushing them down on that thin layer of narcissism, and it had finally broken open…Was that it? Was he facing the consequences of all he had put himself through, of everything he forced himself to do? If so, then no wonder his body had started to tense up whenever a memory of a touch slipped his mind. The whisper of a name made him ache. And if the moments ever came to him in dreams, then all he could do was cry himself awake, in a position so still one might mistake him for a corpse, if not for the cries.
Like the one that happened that night. The memories, the cries, the phantom touches, it was all too real. But now, instead of feeling the intense desire he had felt those nights, it all felt like needles poking in his skin, making him regret his mere existence. He could feel the hair pull all too vividly, the bites so harsh he could have sworn if he touched the spot they would be there. He didn’t know when, but he had woken up at some point, and had noticed how his nails were the ones digging on his own skin to the point blood was pouring out. Yet he couldn’t move or do anything about it. All he could do, was keep crying. The nightmares were always like this, they incapacitated him, the only thing he had left, the control over his own body, over his own pain, was taken away. And all that was left was the sobbing mess of a demon. Who could only wonder how had he left himself fall even further.
The worst was…the doubting, the confusion, the wondering. The way no one could explain it to him, the fact that all they did was make him even more confused. Levi and Satan…they could have chosen to just keep quiet, to not answer his question, to ignore him! Belphegor could have kept walking, had he not come inside his room to make such a claim, a claim that now had him wondering and asking himself about everything. They should have just let him stay on that path he had already chosen! He had gotten used to being a demon, he had gotten used to all of it, if they had just kept quiet then he would be back to his normal self now, not caring about that stupid word and what it all meant! He wasn’t supposed to be anything else from just lust, he didn’t need anything else!
The next thing Asmodeus knew, he had barged into Mammon’s room, his older brother looking at him with a startled expression as he had not even bothered to knock. One half serious look at the younger demon’s face told Mammon all he needed to know. His brother wasn’t okay, and he was forcing himself to be. Perhaps it was the way the younger demon looked lost like he had looked that morning on the dining table, or maybe it was that look that screamed for some type of…of catalyst. Perhaps the same one they all expected to be coming soon. Was it now? Mammon could only stay silent as he starred at his brother, not knowing if he should talk or if he should wait for the demon to speak first. After all, he was the one that had barged in, and Mammon could only determine so much from his expression.
“…let’s go.”
“Huh? What-?”
“Let’s go! Now! Just like you said earlier! I changed my mind!” Asmodeus took a few steps towards Mammon, slamming the door behind him. His actions painting a frown on the avatar of greed as he watched his brother closely.
“…you changed your mind?” This was…wrong. Just a few hours ago Asmodeus was more than determined to NOT go out at all. Even to the point where the mere thought and the proposal made him retreat to his room like a scared animal looking for shelter in the middle of a storm.
Then again, perhaps that’s how Asmodeus felt. Like a lost animal who was passing right through the eye of the hurricane. The past few weeks had been the first stage, it was bad, it was bad because it had hit Asmodeus with no warning, it came and hit him with a force Asmodeus had not ever prepared for, stripping him from all the walls he had built around himself to protect the fragility that inhibited in the body of a weak and broken demon. The first stage had just passed. And right now, as Asmodeus glared at Mammon, wearing some party clothes and that pain he could still see in the eyes of his brother, Mammon knew the eye of the storm had just arrived. And with it, the calm…the calm that only announced the arrival of the worst to come. Faster winds that instead of stripping the poor demon from all what he was they were going to make him crumble.
“…no.” They had to be there for Asmo, and he knew this was the last thing Asmodeus needed. Asmodeus had said it before, and although he wasn’t aware what made him change his mind, he was right…He knew that now, and he was seeing just how badly Asmodeus wanted to deny it.
He wanted the Asmodeus they all knew back. The happy brother that was quick to compliment any of them and had no regards for personal space, the one that always had a smile…but that wasn’t Asmodeus. That’s a veil he had put on that was being kept on from the moment he crafted that personality to merely weeks ago, the one who was standing right now in front of him, was not Asmodeus either. It was the shreds from that veil trying to get back to that balance that he had managed to escape from. The real Asmodeus…no one knew him. Not even the demon standing right in front of Mammon. The demon needed to know who he was and understand whatever it was bothering him before he should be allowed to go back out there. And as much as Mammon wanted to keep the peace and wanted his brother to be okay, it would be nothing but cruel, submitting him to the very thing that had broken him in the very first place.  
“…no?” Asmodeus blinked. “Seriously? You are saying no now?! Mammon, I know you like being annoying, but this is going too far!” Asmodeus stomped his feet, he felt like a child throwing a tantrum, almost as if he wasn’t in control of his own words. But here he was, glaring at his older brother as he crossed his arms and glared. How dare he act like he knew what was going on in Asmodeus head and what he needed? What he needed was to go back to who he was and stop with those feelings that had taken root in his being.
“Oi! I’m only trying to help here! I ain’t taking ya there, aight?! I thought it might have helped earlier but giving how you are now I doubt so! Someone could do something to you and you wouldn’t even know what is happening-”
“That’s the point!” Asmodeus shouted, glaring at Mammon worse than before. “That is exactly what I want! What I need! I want to just forget everything and go back to how I was before! I just need to stop all those insane thoughts and go back to the care of the world! S-So! D-Don’t tell me no now!”
“Asmo…listen to me now.” Mammon walked closer to his agitated brother, noticing how desperate and how hurt the younger demon was. It hurt all of them seeing him like this, but if he went out now, as Asmodeus wanted, or as he thought he wanted, it would only make it worse “…what you need, ya ain’t gonna find in a club or anything.”
“Then what is it that I need, then?! If it isn’t to try and go back to my old life…if it isn’t forgetting everything that just happened and try to be who I am supposed to be, then what do I need? What should I do? I am tired of feeling so bad, I don’t want to care about anything else! I just want to go back and forget all of those new feelings! All that Levi and Satan said! I don’t understand it, and the more I try to understand it the less I do! I just want to go back out there, and maybe, just maybe, finally be okay once more.”
Mammon starred at his brother as the pleas and begs left him, eyes closed tightly as the Avatar of Lust held back the tears. It was all wrong, seeing him like this, this desperation rooted inside of him as he didn’t give himself time to think about everything, to think about himself! But…he kind of understood Asmodeus. Back when they all arrived, when they were all scared and didn’t understand anything about themselves, he was so confused and scared of those new desires of his, but he took time to understand them. Asmodeus hadn’t, the moment he recuperated from the fall it was like the angel they had all known once had vanished. But right now, although broken and sad and utterly desperate…he was asking for help, and Mammon was going to be right there for him. Slowly, the demon walked over to his brother, and before Asmodeus could even ask anything else, he was engulfed in a tight hug.
“…Listen, there is lots of stuff that I don’t know, that’s a given, and there are even more that I don’t understand, but I know how you are feeling…how lost you feel. But Asmo, what you need, isn’t out there.”
Asmodeus hesitated, not daring to hug his brother back as he held back tears, hiding his face on the demons neck for a moment. Shaky breaths that Mammon could feel as he hugged him even tighter, hoping that it just might help to keep him together long enough until he was ready to rebuild himself. But the way his younger brother hand suddenly grasped at his shirt, and the way his trembling voice came out…he knew that no matter how tightly he held him, the demon was already crumbling.
“…I s-still don’t understand. I don’t know…I don’t know what I need…” Mammon chuckled a little sadly as he kissed Asmodeus forehead, pulling away and grabbing him by the shoulders.
“Oi, that of course is for someone to truly care about ya. Asmo, ya don’t need people to constantly praise you or to pull you away from the world. You need someone that cares so deeply for you, they are willing to make you happy, someone…someone that understands you, someone that truly **** you”
…again with that word. Asmodeus couldn’t do anything but stare at Mammon for a few seconds, before the dam broke, and the water started spilling from his eyes like nothing could stop it. One would think he had not cried in years by the way he was now sobbing and clinging to his brother. With Levi it was one thing, as well as with Satan, and now with Mammon. They had mentioned such different thing, unique sentiments, yet they had used the exact same word. Was it…that perhaps it was all of those at once? But at the same time neither? And if so, how could Asmo tell which was that he truly needed? Asmo said it was for someone to understand him, but he wasn’t so sure. How could someone else understand him when he couldn’t even understand himself?
“…that’s the exact opposite of what Satan said!” Asmodeus exclaimed, he refused to believe that there could be so many aspects to it all.
“W-well…that’s because he is an idiot, aight?! Just listen to me, I am your bug brother, after all.” Mammon sighed, still embracing Asmodeus. “…Asmo, I know its hard to understand, but you don’t need someone to pass the night with, okay? Its…different, you don’t need something that can vanish and its just superficial. Its meant to be deep and last, and they are supposed to make you feel the best anyone has ever!”
Understanding, playfulness, friendship…all or none, maybe a mix? No…none of them felt quite right. But…what felt right was the fact that he could cry feeling in his brothers arms, just like he had done so a while ago when Belphegor found him. Even if he hated showing anyone this side of his, and even thought his entire being was in a total disarray of concepts and all, it felt right. And he wondered if this was yet another definition for that word. One rooted in the comings of the broken family they were.
Pragma: Commitment, compromise, understanding, long term rooted love. Eros can turn to Pragma with time.

Will It Be the Same?
Chapter 4: Sentiment
Tumblr media
Hello my lovelies~ It's been a while and I missed this place. I hope you enjoy.
Nothing could be better than having someone that can make you happy. It’s one of the things that you think about the most when you're with Ella. Her positive attitude always makes your day. Even her generosity even makes you feel guilty for no damn reason. Which is exactly why you can’t have her missing a day from work because of you.
“Els, it’s fine really. I can take this moment to be more familiar with the city, you shouldn’t have to worry about me.” You smiled reassuringly. Emphasis on the word try .
“What, and miss a day where I can have you all to myself? No way! Oh, that reminds me, we should go shopping for some clothes to go clubbing tonight. I got a good feeling about this.” Ella’s eyes only showed excitement, that made you give up. You noticed the way she tried to gently brush your guilt away by talking about the things she wants to do. Clever.
“Alright, since your mind is made up then let’s go shopping.” You giggled, picking up your purse. Ella wasted no time in getting her keys and wallet.
This should be nice.
__________________
A lunch break is a person’s precious time. No rush, no stress, no drama. Just you and food. All humans know this, but this morality doesn’t really apply for celestial beings. This truly annoys a certain therapist, especially now while she’s listening to the devil himself.
“I tell you doctor, this really is becoming a bigger issue than I realize. The detective and I have slowly lost our mojo. A bloody mess I tell you, she’s become more moody, and not in a good way.” Lucifer huffs while straightening his suit. All Linda could do was breathe in and out calmly. She doesn’t want to lose her shit.
Linda left her desk to sit in her usual chair, composed but keeping the glare. “Lucifer. You do know that this is my lunch time, right? What did we talk about.”
“My apologies doctor, but this is really important. This would only take a moment, I can pay extra.” Lucifer took out a stash of money and placed it on the table. Linda sighed in defeat and gestured for him to continue.
“Fine. This better be the last time Lucifer. I’m serious.” Linda sternly says, taking the money.
“Of course, now what should I do about the detective?” Lucifer nods and leans a little forward, ready for the answer.
“Listen, I can’t just solve your problems. I can only make you see different perspectives that can lead you to the path of realization. Instead of what you should do, think about what you did. What did you do to make her this way? In her perspective.” She explained slowly to make sure he understood.
“Well, I’m not really sure. I haven’t been with other women like I used to, I’ve been more open about us. Although...there was an unexpected conflict after our intimate activities.” Lucifer was deep in thought and Linda took notice of his expression.
“Mind elaborating?” She raised an eyebrow a bit.
“The detective suddenly came one night in ravishing clothing, a wonderful surprise. Little did I know, she only wanted a ‘do over’. Something about having emotional intimacy besides all the fun.” He frowned slightly, turning to Linda for guidance.
“Lucifer, do you even love Chloe?” This came clear for the therapist. She might as well just be there for him as a friend for now. His expression and body language is more different than usual, which concerns her.
“I...I thought I knew..but I guess I still don’t know.” Lucifer sighed and leaned back on the furniture. He closed his eyes for a second and instantly saw your teared face, which made him tense and open his eyes. He takes out his flask and takes a good swig. Why are you burned in his mind? He has a significant other to focus on.
“Is there anything else that’s bothering you?” Linda hid her amusement when she saw him tense with his eyes closed. Something was going on, something so different.
“(Y/n)...” He quietly says while looking at the flask. Linda almost couldn’t catch what he said, this is really out of character for him.
“(Y/n)? You mean the new client you wanted me to take in for a session? What about her?” Linda was now intrigued by the new topic. She can’t help but study him like how any therapist would. This is the devil after all, who wouldn’t want to understand his emotions.
“I made an assumption that she was working for my father and confronted her about the matter. It didn’t end well.” Lucifer lightly scoffed, more to himself.
“What happened Lucifer?” Linda pressed a little bit, to see where this could go.
“I hurt her...You see, she’s not like any normal human or celestial being that my father created. She’s different...which should be impossible, hence the assumption. From what I’ve seen, she’s already been through hell without even going there personally.” Lucifer frowned and stared at his reflection on the silver flask.
Linda just stays silent for a moment, watching Lucifer’s behavior. She didn’t want to point anything out to Lucifer, but he seems more guilty with (Y/n) than with Chloe. Which says a lot.
“What gets under my damn skin is how different I feel whenever it involves her.” Lucifer scoffs and takes another swig from his flask.
“How different?” Linda frowns a bit.
“Whether her presence is shown or not, it’s hard to bloody focus. My best solution at the moment is finding out what she is. No human or celestial has ever been as bothersome as her, not even the Detective.” Lucifer puts away his flask with a sigh.
The therapist raises her eyebrows at his suggestion. Was the devil really this dense? God knows how many therapists are needed in this world.
“Maybe, just maybe, she’s not the problem. There might be something about her that you're drawn to. Just like Chloe, her presence makes you physically human, vulnerable from immortality.” Linda tries to explain and give a hint, hoping to lead something that can be possible yet not so far fetched.
“What does that have to do with this?” Lucifer frowns at Linda’s obvious recap. He can admit to himself that there’s something about you that he’s drawn to. Why was she comparing you with Chloe?
“Lucifer just look at yourself, the emotions you feel at the moment. You look tired, guilty, and mostly concerned. Don’t you feel these emotions whenever you're around (Y/n), or when you even think about her?” Linda puts her hand on her chest, emphasizing the emotional turmoil he’s having. “Now I’m only giving a theory here, but maybe (Y/n) makes you emotionally human, possibly making you vulnerable to your own desires, fears, or any other type of emotion that doesn’t make you the devil.” Linda finishes her theoretical reason for his behavior.
Lucifer stays silent for a second and then starts to chuckle. “Emotionally human?” Then his chuckles turn into laughter. “Oh, Dr. Linda, I didn’t peg you as a comedian. You would very much be a success.” Linda gives a deadpan face and crosses her arms. The devil slowly stops his laughter when the therapist didn’t find it amusing.
“You're serious...What, besides the one human that can take away my immortality I have another one that can take away my devilish spirit?” Lucifer’s pissed, now he has to deal with two complex beings. Both jeopardize his main essential of being the devil.
“I know this isn’t ideal for you Lucifer but this shouldn’t be a bad thing. Perhaps (Y/n)’s presence can give you more perspective of being more than just the devil.” Linda tries to calm him down. Linda can only think of how well this could be for Lucifer.
With your presence, there might be a chance that Lucifer can be more than just an angel or the devil. He could break the chains of labels that his own father has made of him throughout the millennia.
“I don’t want to be more than just the devil because that is who I am. The Devil!” Lucifer abruptly stands up from the furniture angrily and goes for the door. “Why pretend to be anything else than a fallen angel? That’s just ridiculous.” Lucifer leaves while slamming the door shut, making the therapist jump a bit.
“...He’s gonna be okay.” Linda persuades herself and goes back to her lunch. Before even taking a bite of her food she tilts her head to the side in a second thought. “Right?”
_______________
You look around the room, cautious of every drunk person walking by. Ella brought you to Lux, one of the best bars in LA, or so she describes. You’ve seen crazier house parties, but this one seemed more classy with a modern bar.
You just enjoyed the music and dancing with your enthusiastic friend. Never a boring moment with Ella Lopez.
“I’m gonna go get us some drinks, mind finding a table?” Ella tries to speak louder than the speaker themselves, you laughed at her attempt.
‘Els, you know we can just mentally communicate, right.’ You grinned and she rolled her eyes and waved you off while leaving to get drinks. Your heels are hurting like hell anyways. You try to find an available table until you bumped into someone.
“Sorry-” You looked up to meet eye to eye with Lucifer himself, your blood ran cold instantly. Without a second to waste, you quickly moved to the side and tried to leave his sight. Lucifer reached out to your arm and held it with a gentle grip.
“Hold on, I know I’ve done some..dreadful actions towards you but mind if I explain myself?” Lucifer raised his other hand up, showing you that he doesn’t mean harm.
“I don’t have time for people with poor excuses.” You scoffed, tugging your arm back from him. You can somehow see a flash of guilt within his confident self. You left him in the dust and took a moment to walk out the club, texting Ella that you’ll be out for some fresh air and come back.
“Alright I deserve that.” Lucifer mutters to himself and goes to the bar.
“Luci!~” Ella hugs him out of nowhere, surprising the devil.
“Well I’m glad someone appreciates my presence.” Lucifer gently shifts away from the hug. Ella looks at him confused but quickly fades. She frowns and points at him accusingly.
“You made my best friend cry, what the hell was that about?” Ella may be drunk but she’s always serious when it comes to those she loves. “You better apologize mister.” Lucifer puts her finger down.
“Trust me miss Lopez, I’ve tried but she’s one stubborn woman, I wouldn’t blame here.” Lucifer sighs and asks for a drink from the bartender.
“She’ll accept if you're genuine about it, just give her time, she’s not one to hold a grudge.” Ella smiled and felt her phone vibrate. She giggles when she sees that you’ve decided to get some fresh air. “Well not a long grudge, but you’ll get there.”
Lucifer rolls his eyes at her last comment, “Yippee.” He drinks his liquor and scoffs at himself. Here he is again feeling guilty and worried about you, when he should be worried about Chloe.
///////////////////////////////
I am truly sorry, honestly I forgot about about writing for a while, a lot has happened and I hope everyone's safe and alright.
Now that I'm back I hope that I can bring my creativity back, it's been a while and I hope I didn't make any of you upset. I know how it feels to wait for another chapter you guys grew to love or enjoy.

The birthday boy (Asmodeus X reader)
2031 words ~ 8 minute read (female reader) 
All he could manage was to sit there, powerful, heavy tears racing down his cheeks, obscuring his vision from the little piece of paper in front of him. Flowing in a never-ending stream, uncontrollable and as dangerous as the Zambezi. Parting his rosy lips to speak, the sounds caught, tangling in his dry throat. Feeling as if he swallowed spikes from a fence, rendering him speechless, he tried to cough up his thoughts. The growing lump in his throat too massive to swallow caused his gaze to drift among the people surrounding him. This couldn’t possibly be true. 
Amaryllis: determination and radiant beauty 
A few days earlier you had convinced Lucifer and Diavolo to agree to your birthday plans for Asmodeus. You had gathered both men in Lucifer’s study to discuss your plans. Lucifer was skeptical of having nine reckless demons, two odd angles, and a wicked sorcerer in the human realm. His crimson red eyes bore deep holes into you as he ran a hand through his jet black hair. Diavolo, on the other hand, was elated. He finally had a chance and reason to spend some time in the human realm. Nudging Lucifer, he smiled at him with a child-like look on his face, wiggling his eyebrows until Lucifer agreed. It always fascinated you how a man this large and powerful could switch from authorial to guileless with a flick of the wrist. 
“Not that, I don’t like the idea, it’s more that I don’t trust my brothers,” he sighed as you headed out of Diavolo’s office together. 
Jolting, you felt a pair of gentle hands touch your waist as you were bent over the picnic baskets and bags, checking to see if you had brought everything. 
“Don’t worry, I brought everything,” Solomon comforted you with his husky voice, as he turned you towards him noticing your concern. 
The large, round hat casting shade onto his porcelain skin, which contrasted strongly with the black outfit he had settled on. Elegance was something he never strived for, yet managed so effortlessly by being comfortable.
“Exactly, I double-checked everything!” Luke exclaimed, flinging himself against you. 
You smiled as you noticed him wearing his new outfit, looking even more like a child than before. As he turned around, you looked at Solomon and Simeon, pointing at his outfit. As if they were blaming one another they then pointed at each other before chuckling. 
“But,” you began, before being cut off by Simeon chuckling, “Stop thinking this will be magnificent, don’t worry!” 
Taking a deep breath, you nodded, it had been a long time since you arranged anything for anyone. Naturally, you desired everything to be perfect, and as you looked at the boys in front of you, you smiled. If anyone did a superb job in helping, they would be the ones. Looking at Simeon, you had to admit, he was bringing 90 vibes into the group with his crop top and skinny jeans, his beauty even putting the avatar of lust in awe.
Behind the two of them, you could see a tall, dark-skinned man waving as he approached you. Excited, you ran over before flinging yourself against him, breathing in his musky scent as you pressed your face into his shirt. 
“Hello, there young lady.” Diavolo laughed softly as he pat the top of your head. 
“I’m so happy that you both came!” you exclaimed as you let go of Diavolo and then flung your arms around Barbatos. 
“We cannot miss out on something like this,” Barbatos answered as he hugged you back. 
“Are you trying to tell me you can’t miss out on the mess that is about to happen?” you joked as you swayed side to side with Barbatos, a deep chuckle emitting from him. 
“We brought some drinks and more food, just in case.” Diavolo chimed as he held up a gigantic bag. 
“You can hand that to Simeon because he knows where the cooler is! The grill is set up as well so you can start if you want to,” you explained, pointing over to the tall angel waving at you. 
Magenta lilacs: love and passion
“I didn’t scream!”
“You’re right, you screeched, like a little girl!”
“He’s right, Mammon.”
“It’s okay if you’re scared, but, getting here sometimes scares me too.”
“I am not scared,” Mammon screamed, his voice cracking as he rounded the corner into the park. 
“Are you sure it was a smart idea to invite them into the human realm?” Barbatos asked as you all stood, watching the group of brothers approaching. 
“To be honest, I think I lost most of my brain cells living with them. I don’t make the best decisions anymore.” you sighed shaking your head before feeling Simeon’s gloved hand on your head.
“You poor thing. You can always move in with us.” he teased, knowing well it was impossible. 
From the corner of your eye, you could see an arm extending a drink to you which you thankfully accepted. 
“I’m going to need more than one,” you sighed as you watched the brothers tease each other on the way over. 
“At least they are blending in with their outfits,” Diavolo said, letting out a hearty laugh before taking a drink from his beer. 
“The bar is set very low I see,” Solomon remarked, smirking before toasting his drink with yours. “Good luck,” he added before taking a sip of his drink. 
“Happy birthday!” everyone chimed as Asmodeus finally arrived with Lucifer. 
“For me?” he asked, surprised as everyone hugged and congratulated him.
A beaming grin plastered on his face as he based himself in the attention he got from everyone. You filled the day with laughter, lengthy conversations, the scent of grilled food, shrill screams of joy, and water guns squirting relentlessly at their targets. Simeon had thankfully brought old throwaway cameras so all events could be documented for the future with a touch of nostalgia with each shutter sound. 
As the hours passed, you took Asmodeus by the hand and brought him to a place under a giant blooming weeping willow tree. The golden hour had struck and the warm rays engulfed you a golden hue, complementing both of you very well. 
Iris: courage and admiration
“So, Asmo, now it is my turn to give you your present.” you smiled as you picked at the pink velvet ribbon wrapped around the snow-white box. 
“Oh, I thought this entire thing was the present.” Asmodeus chirped, surprised that you had gotten him something. 
A gust of wind danced among your curls as you looked up at him smiling at you. “It’s nothing special,” you said. 
Looking around you watched Beelzebub run after a laughing Luke while Simeon snuck up on Lucifer shooting with his water gun. A loud laugh was heard as he turned around to chase Simeon with his water gun. Barbatos sat on a cover laughing as Satan and Solomon poured water over Diavolo, who stood behind the grill, and Levi was being carried around by Mammon while throwing nuts at Belphegor. Everything seemed so peaceful for the first time in a while. Everything was just normal; serene.
Gazing back at Asmodeus, you gave him a heartfelt smile, handing him the box. You watched as he slowly removed the ribbon, his slender fingers gracefully picking the bow apart. You watched as his fingers gently inspected the white edges of the box, nails perfectly manicured disappearing under the lid as he removed it, handing it to you as to not stain it with the rich green of the grass you both sat in. 
His eyes grew wide as it fell upon the content of the shallow box. You gently removed it, placing it upon his precious head. 
“A flower crown,” he whispered in awe as he reached up to touch the fragile blossoms now crowning his head.
Vibrant colors complimenting the soft rose tones of his hair, each flower with its own meaning. Asmodeus noticed a small card within the box, reaching for it he was met with your fingers gently yet, jittery wrapping themselves around his hands. 
“Before you read the card, I have to tell you something,” you said hesitantly as to not burst out in tears before finishing. 
Asmodeus’s face relaxed, his doe eyes glancing into yours as he leaned in. He nodded in silence, awaiting your words. 
“Asmodeus, my best friend, my family, my love. I can not find words to express how much I love and cherish you. I cannot thank you enough for what you have done for me and I can not put into words what a wonderful person you are. I don’t want to imagine going without you for one day because you are the highlight. No matter how insecure I may feel or how much I struggle, I know that at some point I’ll feel your arms wrap around me, your soft lips against my cheek, and your voice cooing nothing but sweetness into my ear. You are everything I want in a friend. Not only your dear brothers have naturally become my family over the time I have spent here but, you as well. I cherish every second we spend together, the good and bad,“ you paused, ”I want to not only wish you a happy birthday but, I want to also let you know that no matter what, I do not want to lose you. The flowers in your crown are all lovely flowers that bloom during the month of May, and I feel like all these flowers symbolize what I think and feel about you and who you are. I’m glad to  be able to share my birth month with someone as special as you.” 
You let his hands go, giving him a chance to reach into the box, retrieving the card. By the time he had begun reading it, everyone had gathered around the both of you, sitting in the grass, enjoying the cool air, and the last rays of sunshine. 
Asmodeus’s eyes became damp, suppressing tears welling up as he read the words, words you thought described him best. Words he never heard associated with himself. A sniffle. His heart filled with each word he read. His sight blurry with tears, obscuring his vision from the kind words you thoughtfully picked. Barely able to read the words, he shakily inhaled, trying to continue. Before long, the first tear fell onto the thick blush pink card. He couldn’t believe it. Was he really all this to you?
“He’s crying,” Beel commented as everyone sat in silence waiting eagerly for a response from Asmodeus. 
“No... I-I am just so unbelievably happy I have all of you.” Asmodeus sobbed with an enormous smile on his face.
 You noticed a familiar click behind you; someone had taken a picture of the precious moment. A moment full of unconditional love for the avatar of lust preserved for eternity. 
“Aww, babe.” you sighed, tears now running down your cheeks as you leaned forwards to envelop him in your arms. 
“I love you.” you sobbed, pressing a kiss onto his cheek as he wrapped his arms around you. 
“I love you too,” he replied letting the card fall into the grass as you both sobbed into each other’s arms.
Freesia: Trust, innocence and friendship
“They are so cute together, don’t you agree?” Simeon whispered as he leaned towards Lucifer. 
“They are. Their friendship is remarkably strong.” Lucifer smiled as he nudged Simeon gently with his shoulder. 
“This is exactly what I wanted. The entire day is what I meant by bringing the realms together.” Diavolo beamed, handing Lucifer and Simeon a drink.
“I don’t understand why she is so close friends with a demon,” Luke mumbled crossing his arms. 
“Want more cake, Luke?” Barbatos asked, handing Luke a plate. 
“Bless you Barbatos you are the best!” Luke beamed, earning laughter from Solomon who had followed the conversation.
“He better get his slimy fingers off of her.” Mammon barked before finding a paper plate of cake in his face. 
“Eat some cake Mammon.” Beel laughed with a sleeping Belphegor in his lap.
“Well-played Beel.” Satan chuckled, handing Levi his portable charger.

Between You and Him (Warrior of the Crown 3)

Words: 2,024
Warnings: Mentions of sexual content,
Series Masterlist
Tumblr media
“Oh, did you-”
“No,” you cut Angel off, shaking your head as you glanced over your shoulder at the two entities standing behind you. “Ryan sent him to fetch me because of Ivy and Ivy apparently decided to teleport him here and he’s refusing to leave.”
“Could it be-”
“Can we not?” You questioned, lifting your eyes to your cousin who pouted for a moment before giving you a small smile as she nodded.
“Only if we can later,” she challenged and you scrunched up your nose before a sigh left your lips, nodding. “Good.”
“Moving on,” Bellatrix stated, glancing her daughter’s way before her eyes looked at you. “What are we here for, love?”
“Ivy visited with word from both Lucifer and Flinn,” you answered. “Lucifer gave me a book for research and asked if we find a way to kill Azazel, to do so. I’ll leave that for Angel, however.”
“I’ll need your help though, sis,” Angel snorted and you waved her off.
“I’m aware.”
“And Flinn?” Hades raised an eyebrow.
“A warning. Warriors of the Dark mean harm and, apparently, they’re the only ones that can either kill us or corrupt us. They’ll want to come face to face with us alone, but Ivy suggested that we have backup, have them wait in the wing, and offered her army, Lucifer’s, and the Hellhounds’,” you answered.
“And, of course, we have our armies,” Makaria added and you nodded.
“Anything else, Y/N?” Bellatrix questioned and you shook your head.
“What about that advice, doll?” Anti mused and you tensed before throwing a glare over your shoulder. “When did you become as hostile as Dark?” He snorted.
“She hasn’t been sleeping,” André concluded, staring at you. “You haven’t been like that since before the kidnapping.”
“I thought we’ve already established that I’ve changed since the Great War,” you deadpanned, rubbing your forehead.
“What advice, Y/N?” Hades spoke up and you looked at him. “Y/N.”
“Flinn said it would be best to figure out the lover situation, but issues arise at going to figure that out,” you answered. “And I still have a few options still out there.”
“You have two more,” Jean-Louis deadpanned.
“And if you find those other two, even more issues arise because you know just as well as we do that unless you choose one instantly, the five of them would have to battle each other until one is left alive and then the one who lives is your lover. You panicked when you realized Apollo was one and thought you only had three. You panicked because of-”
“Vance. I’m aware,” you sighed, shaking your head at your sister as André whistled with a slight grin. “What, André?”
“I think Béatrice and Ivy would have a field day when Apollo is mentioned,” he answered and you shot him a weird look, watching as he shrugged with a grin. “Just saying.”
“Why are we friends again?”
“Ouch, that hurts. I’ve been your best friend the longest. Jeez.”
You rolled your eyes before rubbing your forehead again.
Maybe if you would just talk to him, Sébastian suggested.
I rather not.
There was a sigh in the back of your head as you looked at the rest of the Warriors before turning, walking past the two entities.
“Lady Y/N, something is in need of your attention,” Maxence voiced as you reached the doorway of the hall and you turned to face him. “Apparently, something is wrong with the hospital.”
“Which one?” You questioned and you watched as Maxence shifted on his feet. “What happened?”
“Someone attacked it. Only staff have been harmed and only some. They were quick to jump in front of their patients, so no children were harmed,” Maxence answered, watching as you turned once more. “Should I reschedule your other appointments, milady?”
“Please, Maxence. Make sure they understand why it’s rescheduled as well. Are you coming along?”
“Only if you wish.”
You glanced over your shoulder, your eyes catching Dark’s before you turned, heading towards your room. You needed to change into your professional clothes.
~*~
“Why are you two tagging along again?” You questioned as you looked at Anti. “I’m capable of handling this sort on my own and I doubt any of you have a background in city keeping.”
“Actually, I do, Goddess. I was a mayor before this,” Dark spoke and you glanced towards him before moving your eyes to the hospital as someone stepped out the doors.
“Lady Y/N,” the President of the hospital greeted, watching as you walked up the stairs. “Normally, I do not wish to bug you but, as I’m sure you heard-”
“Yes,” you nodded. “How many staff were harmed, may I ask?”
“20, ma’am. They were all with patients when the hospital was attacked. I don’t get why anyone would wish to attack a children’s hospital or any hospital at that.”
“I have no idea. Where are they?”
“The attack was...interesting,” Millie spoke and you glanced at her. “We’ve had to place each of them in separate rooms and strap them into the bed so they wouldn’t...jump on those who went in to treat them.”
“Jump on?” You asked, raising an eyebrow as you watched her shift in her spot. “Millie?”
“Jump on is another way of saying starting sex, Goddess,” Dark deadpanned and you threw a glare over your shoulder before returning your gaze to Millie.
“Let me see one of them, please. I may be able to figure something out.”
“Yes, of course. This way, milady.” Millie turned, walking down a hall and you followed with the other two in toe. “Dr. Lynx is the calmest of them. We thought possibly because of being a Demigod but we’re no longer sure. Who knows what would happen if it was the children that took the hit?”
“Whoever it was counting on the staff to jump in front of the children,” you spoke, stepping up to the window. “And it isn’t the God in him keeping it mellow. It’s the incubus in him. Sébastian.”
“Who is it that you are wishing for me to fetch? Angel and André?” Sébastian questioned as you turned towards him.
“No, well, yes. I need Angel, Uncle Philippe, and dad.”
“The Sex Twins?” Millie questioned and you winced at the use of the word. “Milady, is that wise?”
“Yes.” You casted your eyes to her before turning to Sébastian with a nod. “Quickly. If we don’t get it out of their systems soon, they may die.”
“Lady Y/N, do you know what attacked the hospital?” Millie asked as you looked up towards the ceiling. “And wouldn’t it be wiser for Healing Gods to be coming instead of a Death God and two sex Gods?”
“A succubus attacked the hospital, Millie,” you answered, turning your head towards her. “It’s wiser to bring in those that have sex-like abilities so that we can remove what has been planted.”
“Thought you hated those abilities, doll?” Anti raised an eyebrow over at you as you sighed.
“I’ll use them for the greater good, Anti.”
“Panic free?”
You lifted your eyes to his before turning to face the Gods that entered the area, your eyes glancing towards Dark.
“Sébastian gave a quick version of it and I have to say, I’m not stupid enough to chea-”
“We’re not having sex with the staff,” you deadpanned before wincing softly at the stares from the twins. “We’re able to remove the issue, dad. It was a succubus’ doing after all.”
“Are you sure you want to be a part of this, sis?” Angel asked as she tilted her head to the side. “The side effect of doing this is, for a moment, you feel what they feel. It might cause panic. I can call-”
“Dr. Lynx is half incubus, Angel. After he’s cured of it, he can take my place.” You gave her a soft smile. “I know better.”
“I want-”
“Yeah, yeah,” you murmured, turning towards the room. You found yourself taking a deep breath as you glanced inside the room.
“What did she want, doll?” Anti questioned and you looked over your shoulder at him before glancing at Dark.
“Him in the room with me.”
I wonder why.
Your nose scrunched at your uncle’s sarcastic comment as you watched confusion pass through Dark’s eyes before you turned, walking into the room.
“Dr. Lynx, what’s your focus right now?” You asked, watching as he turned his head towards you.
“I believe the question you’re asking is how conscious I am right now, milady,” he answered. “It comes and goes. I would have thought I wouldn’t be effected by something like this.”
“Sadly, she isn’t your normal everyday succubus,” you spoke as you walked towards the bed, your eyes glancing over your shoulder, seeing Dark lean against the doorway.
“Is he going to remove it?” Lynx questioned and you smiled gently at him. “I would have thought differently with you, milady. I can...tell you’re hesitate to do so.”
“The idea is I remove it from you and you’ll help my sister, father, and uncle.”
You watched as the doctor gave you a nod before you watched his eyes glaze over and your nose scrunched as his unwanted desire hit the room. Normally, you would never feel the desire but in order to remove it, you had to dive into the abilities you rarely yield.
Feeling no need to warn him as you watched him struggle against the straps, you reached out, touching his arm.
Focus on Dark, Y/N, Sébastian warned as you took a deep breath. However, you found it was hard to do so until Dark stood on the other side of the bed and you lifted your eyes to him.
How did he-
Now isn’t the time to question, Y/N.
Taking another deep breath, you kept your eyes on Dark for a moment before you closed your eyes.
Closing your eyes isn’t-
“I didn’t think I had to encourage you, Goddess,” Dark spoke and you resisted the urge to roll your eyes as you focused on the desire in Lynx’s body. “Surprised you even dared to try this with your history. Truly are a foolish Goddess.”
How does he know-
Now isn’t the time to question, Sébastian.
A quiet gasp left your lips before you pulled your hand away, opening your eyes to stare at Lynx who looked at you.
“Milady, are you okay?” He questioned, watching as you fumbled with the straps on his wrist and you nodded curtly, hearing Sébastian disappointment in the back of your head.
“Please, go help Angel and them,” you murmured before turning, walking out the doors. You gave a quick nod to those you passed before scurrying out of the hospital.
~*~
Dark followed you out of the room before stopping with pursed lips beside Anti who glanced over at him.
“What did you do now?”
“I didn’t do anything, genius,” Dark deadpanned, bringing a hand up to pinch his nose. “No doubt, she found herself back in whatever she was held in.”
She went to the River.
Dark froze at the voice, his eyes moving around the hall in question as to where his voice could be coming from.
You still have the ring around your neck, Dark. Apparently, it’s allowing me to communicate with you the same way I do with Y/N. Now, don’t be an idiot like before and go to the river. I’ll lead you there.
Dark pursed his lips before listening to the Monstre without giving Anti a passing phrase.
“This is idiotic,” Dark murmured under his breath as he passed by the people within the city. “How do I know this is truly you, Sébastian?”
He kept his words quiet, preferring strangers keep to themselves that pay mind to him.
You still hold my original so-called home around your neck, something you got because of the plan you hated so much. Also, I can name the book you were reading to her prior to Ares that night.
He didn’t speak and the voice inside of his head seem to know what he was waiting on.
Words of a Parvulus written by Jade Darrow. She’s up ahead.
Dark lifted his eyes, catching your H/C hair as your back was turned to him. He stopped a few feet away from you, against most of your people’s agreement.
He studied you for a moment, noticing the way you were holding yourself, how your arms wrapped around yourself as you stared at the moving water, the breeze barely moving your hair.
“She’s belle, oui?”
His eyes turned to the man who stood beside him.
“Pity no one can interest her. Lady Y/N has had bad luck with men. I’m surprised she hasn’t taken an interest in women yet. Women haven’t done her wrong yet.”
“She sees the good in everyone,” Dark spoke, turning his eyes back to you. “She may be cautious, but she comes around.”
“I haven’t seen you around here before. New to Noir?”
Dark barely spared him a glance as he made his way to you, standing beside you, adjusting the cuffs of his sleeves.
“Don’t expect comfort from me, Goddess,” Dark spoke and a small laugh left your lips as you shook your head.
“I don’t expect a lot from you anyways, Dark.”
A small smirk found Dark’s lips at that as the two of you stood there, watching the current of the River move and enjoying the quiet.
At that moment, you were grateful that he was pretending to care as Dark realized that he needed to work on being gentle for moments like this between the two of you.

Treasure You (Pt. 2)
(Lucifer Morningstar x Reader)
Part Two Of Lucifer Morningstar Two Shot
Rating : Mature
Author’s Note: So happy of how this part came about. Every moment I spent writing this was precious. Filled with right amount of Angst, Fluff and Smut, hope y’all enjoy this! 😈❤️
Part 1 HERE
Tumblr media
With your legs shaking frantically, You were suddenly aware of the flesh covered frame that was your body even more. Staring at the sky through the glass window, you clearly felt alone enough to reminisce all that happened out loud. The sting that his stubble left on the soft skin of your neck, every inch of your thighs that received his touch were evident souvenirs. Souvenirs of the impossible and unexpected.
A little part of you longed to jump up and down, squeal in glee. But you wholeheartedly didn’t want to. Because it didn’t feel right.
Your logical reasoning made you question yourself: What are you really doing?
Putting your legs down, you sat right up. Exactly, why were you wasting your time sitting up here all alone, whilst the life of the party was downstairs. The ‘Life’ that was wrapped around your body a few minutes ago, to be exact.
Smoothing your hair, straightening your dress, reapplying your lipstick, your heels clicked as you rushed to the elevator.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
The elevator doors opened with their usual ding, revealing the amorous spectacle that was LUX. Only that your ears didn’t drown in loud music, but with just one voice commanding the room instead.
You froze. It was his voice.
“…and it is my great pleasure to have you all here tonight. Though I’ll be more than pleased to have you all here ever night...”
Laughter erupted from the crowd as Lucifer’s velvet voice continued to fill in, his humor amplified through the microphone.
Stepping out of the elevator, you saw him standing a few feet away to your right. As he raised his glass, Lucifer grinned to his fullest.
“Cheers...”
“CHEERS!” The crowd replied with glee, and with his signal, the music made its entrance, joyous cries were met, and  the party began.
You realized how even the simplest words sounded undeniably pleasing in his voice. Like how you realize it over and over again.
You watched him glide down the stairs , walking into the crowds with ease, with confidence. Dozens of glasses clicked to satisfaction, while dozen pair of eyes were blessed with his flashing smile. Surely the loins of all occupants would catch on fire, and he would be to blame.  Chuckling, you had to admit, you were always impressed by his charm.
Spinning around, Lucifer’s eyes suddenly caught your own, and you were surprised when he froze in response. His joyous expression had vanished, replaced with a serious one instead. Your heart grew heavy to see him look so vulnerable, as if he just let his guard down. This was not what you wanted from him. Turning away, you descended down the stairs in a flash, hoping to relieve him.
Should I just go?
Settling on an empty corner of a couch, you took in a deep breath, wondering why you thought that, and whether you should really act on it. Looking up, you longed to be distracted by the music that moved the bodies in hypnosis. Tapping your feet, you drank in how each frame moved in its own groove. It made you smile for a minute. For it was not so long before when you found yourself dancing here for the first time ever. You remembered oh so clearly.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
(A few months ago, LUX)
The wait outside was so worth it, for you were clearly having a great time at LUX. Upon your friend’s insistence, you may have stepped out the apartment with hesitation but you didn’t regret it one bit. Drowning in your own screams of happiness , flashing lights had nothing on you as a brighter smile flashed across your face while your limbs moved to the rhythm. You didn’t deny that more people stepped into the dance floor once you warmed it up a bit.  When you danced, you danced your worries away. The fire you had in you was not containable. And you could do nothing but cause Forrest fires wherever you extended your arms or swayed your hips.
“Oh my god...”
“It’s him...it’s him”
“He’s so hot”
The sudden shrill of your friends voices irritated you whilst your body rolled.
“Guys…” you panted, turning to face them “What the hell-“
You fell silent, upon seeing the figure that stood before you.
If Tall, Dark and Handsome had an official visual description, he would be the clear winner.
“I’m afraid you’re making us all look bad” He said,with his evident British accent.
“Huh?”  Genuine concern filled your face. But he merely smiled in return. Your friend was right. He was hot.
“My dancers…” he said, pointing at the women on the boxes, “...you’re making them look bad. Are you trying to steal their jobs?” He asked teasingly, his smile never leaving.
“Oh haha…” you laughed, covering your mouth “ that…I mean this…hehe” you looked down embarrassingly, “I thought you were being serious for a moment there…”
“Well I am…” the man replied, making you look back at him with raised eyebrows “I couldn’t help but be fascinated by what I just saw earlier ...you’re...quite the gifted dancer, filled  with the vigor I truly admire in you humans”
You chuckled, “You humans ? What are you? An alien?”
“Oh the Devil in fact...” he grinned widely.
Shaking your head, you said, “Well...the best moves are not for...everyone”
“Oh my…” you heard the sensuality in his curious tone, “... only the exclusive ones then?”
With hands on your waist, you took one more step, until you were merely inches away from his beautiful face.
“Just the one…” you purred, “...whoever is lucky”
“Ooooh...” he purred back, not holding anything back.
You swore his lips never looked so clear as it grew closer to yours.
Until you suddenly giggled.
“Ahahah…Was I doing it right?” You chuckled. Forcing him to furrow his eyebrows with confusion.
“Doing what?”
“Flirting...” you laughed, “...I’m really sorry...I’m normally not so good at it”
Realizing the situation, he laughed along with you.
“Well I find that hard to believe...” he said, extending his hand, “...Lucifer Morningstar”
“Y/N Y/L/N!” You said, holding his hand with no hesitation, “Very...very nice to meet you”
Suddenly you felt like your body and soul was a magnet, for you could not help but be drawn to him. But you knew it was clearly lust sneak attacking you.
“Please...Allow me to get the next round ladies” Lucifer hailed the bartender, inciting cries of  from your friends.
“Oh Wow…”
“Thank you Lucifer”
Smiling with soft eyes, you were definitely pleased with the result. And suddenly it was not lust that kept you company.
The DJ managed to get your attention out of the blue.
“Oh man…” you closed your eyes, “I loove this song!”
Throwing your hands up in the air, you spun around, tip toeing over to the dance floor once more. All your friends however, flocked around Lucifer like bees to honey. Their eyes were filled with desire that he wasn’t a stranger to. Therefore, your warm joyous ones proved to be more interesting.
It was only later that night on the way home, one of your drunk yet envious friends accidentally remarked how Lucifer Morningstar turned out to be worse than expected.
“What? How is it possible? I find that hard to believe...”
“Yeah, I bet it’s hard when you’re too busy dancing to even notice”
“What could he have possibly done? Did he grope someone?” You asked mockingly.
“Pft...he barely even paid any attention to any of us...”
“Well he’s a club owner...if he was looking at his phone ...maybe he was working probably...I don’t know”you said, taking a sip of your beer.
“Yeah...working his eyes on you...”
“Wha?...”your eyes widened, “Really?...” which came out softer than expected. Where did all the alcohol go? As you felt suddenly sober. Your friend nodded, snatching your bottle away while the other hailed a cab.
Shaking your head frantically, you rubbed your eyes.
Nope, that’s not possible.
Your curiosity didn’t stop you from stopping by the club again one night. Only it wasn’t the same.
“Ah...Ms. Y/L/N! You’re back!”
Lucifer Morningstar welcomed you with literal open arms the moment you stepped inside.
“Yeah...had quite a tiring day at work so...why not blow off some steam!” You smirked, as he guided you to the bar “although something strange did happen earlier...”
“Oh? ...do tell” he said with curiosity, ordering drinks while you sat.  
“Donald from outside...he immediately recognized me. Didn’t even let me wait on queue...” you chuckled, nodding to thank the bartender once you received your drink, suddenly making you pause.     “As if ...someone...remembered” you slowed down, realization rich in your voice as you looked at Lucifer’s proud face. With a low chuckle, he winked, making you catch your breath for a second.
“Well I couldn’t really forget a beautiful face...or...your face to be exact”  
“Hah...smooth move!”!
“Well you can’t blame me for trying...” he said, raising his glass.
“To a new friendship” he said.
You raised yours along with him.
“To Ms. Y/L/N!” He added. You shook your head.
“Y/N...please” you corrected, longing to hear him call out your name. Looking into your warm eyes, he toasted as the glasses clinked.
“Y/N...”
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
(Present)
“Y/N!”
You were awakened from your short reminiscence as you heard Maze’s voice next to you. The beautiful young woman stood there, shoving a glass of whiskey in your hand.
“You look like you could use a drink” she said coolly.
“Thanks… I guess” you said, accepting it. With a slight nod, she left your sight.
No matter what she thought of you, you always adored Maze. You admired her ferocity and strength, and you certainly thought her to be beautiful.
Watching the ice cubes swim in the whiskey glass, you sighed heavily. You wanted to drink so badly.You wished to take in sips, with each sip helping you to wash away every single shitty feeling. But at the same time, you didn’t feel like it.
Everything felt so contradictory. It all felt uneasy, unanswered. You didn’t know what to do.
Before you worry yourself to exhaustion, you took a huge gulp.
Seeing Lucifer amongst those lucky women, seeing him play his flirtatious charm, seeing those innocent yet lust inducing touches here and there, left you a burn in your heart which did not seem so different from the burn you felt down your throat from that sip of whiskey.
Those burns revealed nothing but jealousy. You wished you were as carefree and adventurous as they were, for if you were you would certainly be there amongst them, happy and entranced.
But instead, there you were. Sitting on the corner, confused and envious, longing for him like an addict in withdrawal. Wishing he’d look your way with a smile instead of uncertainty.
What have you done?
Did you officially lose that close relationship you managed to build with this man?
Ever since your acquaintance, it did not take long for the both of you to form a special friendship. One where you two would unknowingly end up sharing countless nights sharing his stories and adventures with Detective Decker over glasses of whiskey or cups of tea at his penthouse. He would lean more towards the whiskey while you’d insist he cut down for the sake of his health.
“Bloody Hell! What are you ? My mother?” He’d laugh.
“If being concerned makes me your mother...so be it!” You’d say, as you involuntarily pinch his cheek.
“Ooops...” you’d say, “ that’s the whiskey in my tea acting out” giggling, you’d fall off your chair, erupting more laughter from him.
You chuckled, never tired of that  wonderful memory. But that chuckle suddenly faded for it was merely just a memory now.
Should I just go?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Hours passed, and yet the party spirit continued to conquer the night. LUX was never a disappointment.
While the others indulged in a constant high, you were definitely stewing in an all time low. Your mind filled with a dozen questions.
Were you wrong to act out? To step out of the line?
Will awkward silences and nervous glances forever replace the warm greetings and passionate conversations? You dreaded it.
And just like that, another nightmare was just added to your list.
Should I just go?
Yes, maybe you should, You thought. Unmoved from your seat the whole evening, you certainly did feel like a complete fool that night.
Getting up in an instant, you walked towards the stairs with a heavy heart. If you leave now, you could at least cry yourself to sleep alone. Yes there will be tears, but at least it’ll help you sleep faster.
Just the thought of it made your nose itch, you wanted to disappear into thin air.
But you suddenly felt a strong grip on your wrist, pulling you back. Automatically turning, you found it was Lucifer standing next to you.
“Lucifer!” You exclaimed. His eyes remained serious and his grip remained tight. Was he watching you all this time?
But before you could speak further, you felt him drag you back from the stairs. Walking through the intoxicated crowds, you followed him with complete confusion.
“Uh...” you began, “Lucifer ...what’s going on?”
Every woman you passed shot nothing but looks of intense jealousy. Surprising how Lucifer Morningstar brought out the sin in everyone. He did not take you to the bar, nor to the dance floor, not even to the piano. Instead you climbed upstairs with him, only to face the elevator doors opening up before the both of you.
“Seriously...” you murmured with concern, as you both entered, “you’re making me worried now Lucifer...”
His gaze on you intensified as seconds went by, and the moment those doors closed, you felt your wrist being set free.
Allowing Lucifer to cup your face, capturing your lips with his instead.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
Sweet reminiscence bounced back to you as your lips made its entrancing journey with Lucifer’s own once again. His kisses had literal addiction written on them, intoxicating you more and more. Everything you could be, you became. You melted, you were intoxicated, you were liberated.
Seemed like you felt like a fool for clearly nothing.
With the elevator doors opening to his penthouse, Lucifer slowly guided you inside, lips still glued to yours with devotion.
The way he held you, safety was the only word you could describe it.
You felt him lowering himself slightly, just so that he could lift you up with ease, wrapping your legs around him. Lost in his lips, you hadn’t the slightest clue of your location until he finally broke away, setting you on top of the bar table.
Perched on the table with your legs spread wide, you sat there, with a face so flushed, and lips gratefully swollen. Heavy pants filled the background as he looked up at your state. For a second you felt like a part of divinity, for his gaze was filled with faith. Finally getting some strength in, you pushed yourself off the table, lightly landing on your tipped toes to find yourself standing in front of him. You found it adorable how he mildly reacted to your landing, making sure you’re alright. Hands infected with life, your slowly extended them out. Fingertips impatiently rested on his chest, grazing, moving further out till you were successfully able to push the jacket off his torso.
Lucifer Morningstar need not strip to arouse you, for his simple yet sophisticated white shirt covering his Adonis like frame sufficed more than ever. Grabbing you by the waist, his lips engulfed yours, inciting a gasp from you. This time his lips took their sweet time, as if he had all the time in the world. They even went far as to slowly allow his tongue take part, letting it beg its way into your own. You moaned as they entwined, deepening the kiss, allowing you to wrap your arms around his neck to bring yourself closer. He may be savoring but he certainly did not waste his time either, for Lucifer’s hands found its way around the zipper of your dress, gently unzipping it down. You suddenly shivered by the contact of his fingers on your now-exposed back, making him break away with a concerned look.
“You okay?” He asked breathlessly. The softness in his voice was filled with intimacy that you had not experienced before. And you must admit it quite suited him as well. Flames birthed in you with such strength you did not need to reply with words. Pulling him back, you kissed him with enough passion to assure him you were more than okay.  
The passion was transferable, and doubling in Lucifer, the only way he could respond was surprising. Growling into your lips, you winced as you heard him tear the ends of your dress, letting it fall to the floor.
You didn’t hesitate quickly unhooking your balconette bra, tossing it aside quickly before pressing yourself against him even further.
Lips breaking away, Lucifer made his surprising discovery. No explanations required, he witnessed a little fantasy that had been dwelling inside you. Running your fingers over his shirt, you savored the material gingerly, whilst moving against his chest, allowing your bare breasts to be a part of the pleasure as your nipples hardened by the graze of the white shirt and the sculpted body beneath  it.
Lips parted, Lucifer had quite a hard time watching only you participating in the pleasure, especially when your lips rested on his Adam’s apple, placing feathery kisses all over it.
“Oh Y/N...” he breathed pleadingly, which seemed quite surprising. Before you could make a snarky remark, he shushed you with his kisses, swiftly lifting you up to carry you in his arms bridal style until ending up at his bedroom.
You felt your body bounce the moment it hit the bed, breaking you away from Lucifer whilst he stood before you. Slipping off your shoes , you quickly got up to see him unbuttoning his shirt in a rush that you have not seen. And for some odd reason, you felt the urge to help him out, bending down to untie his shoe laces.
Loud chuckles from Lucifer alerted you of his surprise.
“Y/N-“
“You’re welcome...” you said as you looked up with a smug expression.
And your good deed did not end up unappreciated, for you stood up to see him peeling off his shirt.
“You know...” you said, unbuckling his pants “...having an elevator open into your penthouse is real fancy and shit but... it’s quite the privacy killer sometimes, don’t you think?” You breathed into his cheek.
“Well... given the previous experiences I will not disagree with you” he replied, nose brushing against yours. You giggled.  
“But...” he said, with the firm grip of your arm, “...make no mistake, this will not be interrupted by anyone. Even if anyone comes through that door, I won’t...even ...notice”
His piercing gaze alongside his seriousness in those words certainly left you with more arousal. Not to mention when he successfully managed to strip down completely.
Truthfully you have seen him in his bare but confident glory before. But every time you did, you were polite and decent about it. You’d look away or tighten your temples with a firm sense to understand that it was merely a piece of anatomy and nothing more. But tonight, seeing the man you secretly and unknowingly harbored feelings for fully stripped down, certainly pressed some buttons of your own.
Backing away, you climbed on to the bed, moving back as he followed suit, his eyes fixated on you. He was the lion and you were the lamb. Except the lamb was impatient to be the prey.
Standing on your knees, you welcomed the lion’s pounce as Lucifer kissed you once again, holding you firmly by the waist. Your palms wandered frantically over his torso, filling you with greed for him. For he was simply and most definitely, irresistible.
The moment his hands left your waist, you broke away with a soft moan as they dug into your panties, cupping the bare flesh of your buttocks tightly.
Panting, you held his face, inhaling deeply wearing a pair of serious eyes.
“I’m not-“ you paused ,”I’m not like other women you’ve been with...” you said, shrugging your shoulders shyly “...clearly you can see I’m not...beautiful that way...”
Lucifer shot you a look of immense shock. As if you were blabbering words of insanity. Pressing your lips,You blushed with embarrassment.
“It’s tru-“
His hungry kisses kept you from finishing that sentence, pushing you back to the bed as a result. Taking your hands, he securely placed them on his neck. Instead of using comforting or contradicting words, he opposed your statement and clear insecurity with his lips. Given the man he was, you were pretty sure the women were the ones to throw themselves at him at a time like this. Therefore you were obviously surprised when you felt those hungry kisses wandered all over your body. His kisses lit small sparks of fire on you, and he was the devout and enthusiastic carrier of the flame. The kisses were even and generous, each one curiously moving from your jawline to your collarbone, to the curves and the buds of your heaving breasts, to your protruding hips. Your vocal responses were forthright, moans growing loud and free, impatient to show your appreciation. And those fires felt even hotter when you swore you felt his noticeable erection press against your thigh.
As if sharing telepathy, Lucifer came to your dire need, pulling your panties down in an instant. The region between your thighs was of abundant wetness, exposed to the open air for a few seconds. But it was clearly not when you were left with a loud gasp as he quickly inserted himself in you.
Eyes lost in each other, bodies wrapped around one another, you held on to his ethereally yet sinfully beautiful face. You held with heart, while Lucifer Morningstar began to move inside you, while he set off to discover new found passions for you, while he finally proceeded to make amorous love to you.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Your eyes fluttered, like the wings of a butterfly as you woke up to the soft melody created by piano keys. It soothed you. It made you smile. It relieved you to know, that he was nearby. Lucifer was nearby.
The rays of the morning sun filtered through the glass window, falling on your naked back as you slowly sat up. The way the keys were tickled the music  encouraged you to drag yourself out of empty bed, put on the white shirt that was laying on the floor, to tip toe your way out to see Lucifer playing the piano.
You dared not interrupt, but merely stood there to listen in silence. Lively would be his usual mood, but this morning his fingers spoke nothing but gentleness with heart. You watched him with pride, you listened to him with The moment the last note was hit, he turned back to you.
“Sorry if I woke you...”
You shook your head, “Don’t…It was the best alarm ever” you said with a smile. He smiled back shyly.
“I couldn’t help it…”
“And that’s great cause you know how much I love to watch you play...” you said, with your hands clasped together and much enthusiasm , “I make the most noise when you hit those keys with passion...ah!”
Realizing the possible dirty imagery that could be behind it, along with his naughty expression borne as a result, you snorted with laughter, covering your mouth. Tempted by the sight of him patting his lap as an invitation, You walked towards him. Wearing just his boxers, he wrapped one arm around you as you sat down.  
His eyes widened with surprise after you swooped in to give a tender but long peck on his cheek.
Humming softly, Lucifer moved towards  your lips, surprised even more when you placed your fingers to stop him.
“...my morning breath...” you murmured, wearing a nervous smile, “it must be horrible...” you hated that you suddenly felt so conscious of the smallest things. Saving you the train of thoughts, Lucifer held you by the chin, leaning forward to kiss you deeply. With his tongue embracing your own in a hurry, he proved you wrong once again.
“Oh...” he sighed, forehead pressed against yours, “ I should stop before I carry you back to bed again”
“Oh wow...” you chuckled shyly.
“This ...”he said, thumb grazing over your lips, looking at you, “...this was long long overdue”
“It was...” you said, breathless by his touch.
Lucifer paused for a few seconds, “Earlier you asked me, why I let you stick around”
You nodded in acknowledgment. Holding your hand tightly, he inhaled deep.
“It’s because I consider you as my equal”
This was definitely not what you expected. Putting your other hand over his, you listened.
“The respect you showed me was genuine. I felt respected” he said, “Not that I ever needed  anyone’s approval but, as a club owner, as a businessman, with my adventurous habits, you didn’t take your time to judge, nor were you hungry to gain something from me in return”.
He said, a warm smile growing in his face.
“You were sincere. You are sincere. It...” he paused, “...comforted me”
“Lucifer...” you said, your tone laced with softness. For you could not believe what you just heard, “Of course I respect you” you continued, “ You’re my dearest friend” you said, pinching his stubble cheek.
“I just never thought you’d have feelings further than that...” you said with a smile, to which he chuckled deeply.
“Oh believe me...” he began, “...it was quite the difficult task to wipe your image out of my head, regardless of all the women” he said, “I mean...with them It was always enjoyable to be fair...”
You scoffed whilst nodding.
“ I bet it was…” you continued, “...some of those women are just breathtaking…”
“Yes...” he added, “...but…I’d always have a moment, wondering how it would have been if was you instead. You in my arms, all to myself” his voice suddenly hinted lust.
“Good...” you replied, “I’m glad I have that effect” you said, running your own fingers over his lips.
“It was strange indeed...” Lucifer remarked, his tone quickly changing to curiosity, “We had endless nights of spending time together, yet not once did I see you look at me with the carnal fascination and desire you showed last night”
You laughed, shaking your head.
“Well what can I say...” you shrugged with a proud smile , “I’m very good at friend-zoning people. Until last night, that is “ you said, biting your lower lip.
“Oh Y/N…last night, for a minute it felt like it was a dream...” he said, “ ...like it was an illusion or something temporary that I couldn’t get my grasp on-“
“But I’m here. I’m still here” you assured him, “It happened for real. This is real” you held his face adoringly, taking a deep breath for you needed some courage as you continued:
“I’m in love with you Lucifer”
“Don’t...”
He said, quickly holding your hands. You were confused, especially when he kissed them with desperation.
“I don’t want you to regret those words...” he said with a solemn expression. Your eyebrows furrowed.
“Why would I regret them?” You scoffed with surprise, “Last night…i regretted nothing”
“There’s...” he hesitated, “...something you need to know…about who I am”
“Whats there to know?...you’re ‘Lucifer’ Morningstar...of course I know” you suddenly began talking in high speed, as if he were to disappear any moment, “What? Did you do something? Are you a criminal ? Cause guess what? I don’t care...I love you anyways” you stopped, realizing how desperate you were yourself.
Lucifer smiled with a hint of sadness.
“ No, I’m not a criminal...I’m far worse. I’m the devil”
“Of course I know that” you said, “You’ve told me many times”
“No...but I really am”
“What do you mean? I-“
Your eyes widened as that red glint in his eyes from earlier, reappeared once again. And suddenly the red was not only in his eyes anymore. Yet your hold on him did not loosen.
Speak of the devil.

Lucifer(Fox) x reader - Time itself
Tumblr media
Hi! I stumbled upon your blog and really love your writing, so can I request one shot of Lucifer(Fox)? The reader is very polite and actually a personification of Time itself. She actually stopped time of the entire universe just to have a talk with him in private? Please? - Anon ❤️
I hope this I alrigt ❤️
Walking down the street, you stopped when you stumbled across a crying child. Quickly assessing the situation, you spotted the balloon that was floating away. It was much to high for you to reach.
Clicking your fingers, everything froze. Heading over to the balloon stand, you plucked a balloon from the stand and placed more than enough in the mans pocket as you walked back to the child. Another click of your fingers and everything was moving again.
“Here dear boy, do not cry.”
He took the balloon and muttered a small thank you, the mother walked up to you with a smile on her face as she pulled out her purse.
“Thank you so much, here, let me pay you back.”
Placing your hands over hers, you shook your head, slipping some money into her hand since you knew she needed it.
“No, no, please, I have plenty money. It’s you that needs it love.”
Waving, you carried on your way. Crossing the road, you headed towards the apartment you lived in, jogging up the stairs, two people were stood outside your door. A woman and a man who seemed a bit over dressed compared to her.
“May I help you?” You asked kindly.
“Uhm.. yes, I’m Detective Chloe Decker and this is my... associate Lucifer, we’re looking for a (Y/N) (L/N), do you know her?”
“Rather well officer, yes. I am (Y/N), please, come in. My only request is you don’t touch anything, should you not want to face the consequences.”
“Did you threaten me?” She asked with a hint of authority.
“I did not. And I would be out those cuffs before you could blink. Do not waste your time. No, I did not threaten you but something in my home are somewhat... dangerous if you know where they are from.”
The pair followed you in and took a look around. Chloe was on high alert but lucifer wore a grin as her strolled around the place. You had a clean home with a lot of odd artifices and and a large painting of an eye with a clock face in the middle.
“Interesting painting Miss (L/N).” Chloe pointed at it.
“Please, (Y/N) is fine Detective. And thank you, I painted it myself.”
Offering them a seat on your couch, you sat on the other one and folded your hands together and you crossed your legs.
“What brings you here?”
“What is it you most desire?” Lucifer smirked walking closer.
“Lucifer!” Chloe hissed.
You smiled, and leaned back on your chair as you locked eyes with him.
“Your tricks won’t work on me. Do sit down.”
Lucifer blinked, clearly confused as to what just happened. But he sat down none the less without saying a word.
“Did you know Ryan Green?”
You hummed and shook your head.
“We found your number in his phone.”
“My number is in many people’s phones Detective. People come to me when they require help. But you should speak to his boss, nasty man he is.”
“You’ve met his boss?”
“Yes, we meet every Thursday for movie night with a few others. He was always going on about how he disliked Ryan.”
Chloe nodded and gathered up her stuff, taking a look at the small pocket watch you had on display.
“Take it dear, I have plenty.”
Chloe looked like she went to protest but you have her a half glare and she picked it up, admiring it as she opened the door dragging lucifer with her.
“Thank you. We’ll be in touch. And by favours please don’t tell me you sleep with people like lucifer.” She deadpanned.
“Gosh no! I’m not that low unlike some people.” “Hey!” “No, I can change things. Time if you will, I can save that and change that in which you couldn’t.”
She gave you an unsure looked but nodded. You saw the doubt on her face as she walked away muttering about all the mad people in LA. Lucifer gave you one last look before leaving. Closing the door, you sat back down and waited, knowing full well you’d see them again.
Two days passed and sure enough someone was banging on your door. Standing up, you walked over to a frantic looking Chloe.
“I’m not saying I believe you, but you can change things?”
“What do you need done?”
“A.. a child. I couldn’t.. I couldn’t save him.. please, if you can change it help me!”
Nodding you held out your hand. Nodded for her to take it which she did with uncertainty.
“You will not remember this conversation, but I can do it. Close your eyes.”
When her eyes were closed, yours glowed and the scene changed. You were stood on top of a building. Everyone was frozen as you saw the child on the edge, Chloe opened her eyes and gasped.
“Wow...” she breathed.
Smiling, you walked over to the child and picked him up. Bringing him behind her you smiled and winked. Hiding behind a fixture as you watched the scene play out.
In the end the boy was saved and she got her suspect. With a knowing smile you stood up and walked over to lucifer. Clicking your fingers again everything stopped but you and him.
“Who are you?” He asked defensive.
“I thought it was obvious, but apparently I was mistaken. I, Lucifer Morning star, am time. They very personification of it. I can go back, forward, stop, play time. It is mine to change.”
“Why are you here?”
Blinking, your eyes turned from normal human eyes to glowing gold eyes. Lucifers eyes flashed red and you gave him a small smile.
“Your detective asked me to save the boy. In doing so, I save her the heartbreak and his life.”
“What do you get in return?” He asked as the pair of you walked down the stairs.
“Nothing.”
Lucifer narrowed his eyes at you as the pair of you stepped outside. Everything was still frozen as you walked around the streets.
“Then why do you do it?”
“Simply because I can. If I can save a life, change someone’s path for the better, I will. If I can make someone a better person I will.”
Turning to lucifer, you smiled at him again. Turning to the sky, you admired its beauty.
“And I suspect you, Lucifer Morningstar, hope for the same thing. Though you may not admit it, deep down, you wish to make people better. We aren’t much different you and I. Perhaps our paths will cross again soon, who knows? But for now, I bid you a goodnight and a farewell.”
“Wait!”
Before Lucifer could stop you, you were gone. The streets were bustling about again, cars sped past and people talked as if nothing happened. Lucifers eyes stayed fixed in the spot you stood. Placing his hands in his pocket, he felt his fingers brush against something cold.
Confused, he pulled it out and blinked, there was a small pocket watch. As he turned it around he caught an inscription on the back.
Lucifer,
Remember time changes every second, of every minute, of every hour. People change too, don’t forget that
(Y/N)

Journal Entry #1
Based on the RP with @itsxlucifer
it’s a beast, hence the read more.
Sunday, July 26th. 
Hey Mom and Dad. 
I met the Devil. 
The real one. This isn’t a metaphor. Not some kind of flowery exposition. 
I met the Devil. 
Satan. 
Beelzebub,
The Prince of Darkness,
The Morningstar, 
The Lightbringer….
Whatever you want to call him. 
And honestly?
He’s not that bad. 
He’s not the evil guy I thought he would be. 
Sure, he’s into all the sinful stuff, and fuck if I can’t hear him say “naughty” in his accent… 
But he isn’t evil. 
At least, I don’t get the sense he is. I don’t know for sure. For all I know, he is manipulating the shit out of me and the entire club is demon invested. But right now? I don’t think the Devil is bad. 
No, not the Devil, I shouldn’t say that.
Lucifer, his name is Lucifer Morningstar. 
He owns the nightclub, LUX, and I can’t think of a better place of work. Bullshit isn’t tolerated. The security is top-notch. No-one gets the chance to fuck with the staff. The slightest hint of it, the slightest signal, and they’re on it. 
I’ve honestly never felt saver working for a club, and hell, I’ve already made a friend there, too. His name is Reese. He’s Latino, fucking gorgeous, and sadly, really fucking gay. Just my luck, right?
One of the other bartenders, Maze, is apparently a demon who works for Lucifer, handling his finances. Never thought the Devil would need a banker or whatever they’re called.
Things are fucking weird in my life right now. 
And I don’t know how to make heads or tails of it. how am I meant to process I’m dealing with the man who is meant to be the Devil? And on top of that, finding out I care about him, and he isn’t the bad guy everyone claims him to be?
What is my life right now? Seriously. How the hell do I unpack all of this?
I guess the best way to start is at the beginning, right?
This guy literally hired me straight out of my old job. Like, he took one look at me and decided I should work for him. Just like that. Saying he knows a good, hard working person when he sees one. That’s all he needed. Like, what? I didn’t believe him, at first. I thought it was some kind of scam or something.
But it turned out it wasn’t. LUX is a real club. Which, by the way. Fucking on the nose. LUX? Light in Latin? The lightbringer is a different name for Lucifer? 
He’s so fucking extra. 
Still, he hired me after a trial run and here I am. Working in Lux as one of the bartenders, listening to terrible, thumpy music all the livelong night and sometimes, if he’s in the mood for it, listening to Lucifer’s beautiful piano playing. And his voice… holy mother of fuck, his voice… his singing. I don’t even know what to call it. it’s like this rich- I don’t know what to call it. His singing voice is probably best compared to what Velvet feels like. Rich and soft and you just want to stroke it all the damn time. And even that likely doesn’t come close. His voice makes my spine tingle. And not just his singing voice, his normal speaking voice, too.
And best thing yet? Him singing “perfect the way you are”. I love that song so much, and hearing him sing it? Holy crap. For real, I would pay to have an MP3 of him singing it. I think it’s the accent that does it. there’s something sexy about it. I think what made it even more special was the fact it was just the two of us when it happened. Fuck, I shouldn’t be swooning the way I am thinking about it, but shit. For real, it was something special. Especially as in the few days working there, I haven't seen anyone else approaching the piano while he plays. Let alone singing with him. He invited me to sit with him while he played, seeing his fingers moving across the keys? his voice? And that song. Just wow. What else was I meant to do then sing along with him? 
The first night I met him at LUX, he was playing already, so he asked me what tune I wanted to hear. I told him that song. I admit, it was me being a little shit. Because I know there’s not a lot of people who know of it, or the band, Dead by April. So for him to know it, and to be able to play it perfectly? it was- something else. 
So sitting with him, singing the song together, watching him play? Man, it was special. It was something- I don’t know. It felt like there was some kind of connection there in that moment. 
If only I realized back then what the connection was, you guys.
So the whole point of me gushing on the piano playing? It was all caused by him asking one question I never thought I would have to answer. ‘What do you desire?” and the answer still hurts. And I don’t know, being made to answer it? It was like Lucifer’s hand was reaching down deep into my soul and dragged the answer out, kicking and screaming. 
I don’t want to repeat the answer, but it led to me avoiding him for a few days. Which spawned the singing moment at his piano. I eventually laid down everything. What happened to you, what had done it. and he just believed me. He said he would help me. I didn’t believe it, but he did. He kept his word. I fully expected to be fired for being crazy. But, he didn’t. 
We went back home. Back to Independence. 11 years passed since that night. 
And God… it confronted me with so many things I thought I’d pushed away deep down in the back of my mind. It all came rushing back. Things I never want to think about again. The worst part of it all was the fact Margaret still had some kind of hold over me. She still was able to manipulate me the way she did when I was little. She still had the power to make me pass out. Though, I admit, it might just be because shortly before? We had a conversation with a little girl and her mother… both of which reminded me of myself and you, mom, when I was little. 
Margaret, however? She’s not the person I thought she was. It turns out she was a demon. Something I never realized. To me, she felt real. She felt like a real person when I hugged her or held her hand late at night. And that’s because she apparently was? Apparently, she was a demon inhabiting the body of a little girl. How the hell she’s been able to hide all this time, I don't know. I can only assume there’s some kind of vent or crawlspace in the bottom of my closet she was able to get in or out through. 
There was a fight. Of course, there was. I want to say I was badass and kicked her ass, but that’s not what happened. She got in my head. She brought back all the memories of that night.  It hurt so bad, I thought my head was gonna explode. I thought I was going to die of the pain. I don’t know exactly what happened in between, but somewhere along the line, Lucifer got hurt. I remember seeing a hole in the drywall connecting my room to yours. When the pain subsided, Margaret came at me with a knife. She put it to my neck and I fought, as hard as I could, to hold her off. If it hadn’t been for Lucifer, I would’ve had my throat sliced. Fortunately, the only thing I’ve got left from is a little cut on my collar bone, when the bitch dropped the knife. It’s more annoying right now than really painful. The scab is itchy. 
In that moment, however? I found out who Lucifer really is. He commanded her to go back to hell, made her leave the little girl’s body.
That’s when I realized Lucifer had been telling the truth all along. He never lied about being the Devil, hell, if anything, he’ll flaunt it for all he’s worth. I was the issue. I was the one who didn’t believe him. I legitimately thought he was playing up some kind of bad boy, playboy persona he’d crafted for himself to be able to sound interesting and appealing to people. I was so fucking wrong. 
I want to tell you I was brave and took this in my stride, I didn’t feel anything about him being the Devil. But, the truth is? Well, I passed out. I’m not ashamed to admit it. I mean, it’s a culture shock, right? And combine this with the whole thing with Margaret? Can you blame me? The last thing I really remember is staring at him, then waking up staring at the ceiling of a hotel room, lying on the bed. 
Lucifer was kneeling on the ground, obviously hurt. 
I thought about running. I thought about running away as fast and far as I could while he was down. I thought about running away forever, leaving L.A. behind and pretend nothing like this had ever happened. pretend I didn’t meet the Devil and he had been kind to me. Hell, I was afraid. I was scared I’d somehow made a deal and sold my soul. All those damn clichés about him. 
Most of all though, I was scared because I had thought about having sex with him. Yes, I thought this about my boss, I know it's not professional, but come on… Mom, if you’d seen the guy? You would agree with me. Sorry, Dad, but that’s just the facts. Seriously though, his face and body, not to mention his fucking sexy accent? There is no way anyone is capable of resisting him. I can just barely resist jumping his bones. I really, really would like to meet the person capable of completely resisting this hot as hell man child. 
Point is though, I didn’t run. I couldn’t. How could I just leave him while he was hurt? Not after the things he’d done for me? The fact he’d gone so far to help me with something that’s been haunting me for a decade? I didn’t know what to do, I didn’t know how to deal with this. From my understanding, he had broken ribs, and there was something wrong with his leg. But he refused to let me call for an ambulance, so he could get checked out. So I did the only thing I could think of. I ran to find someone to bribe for a medkit. 
When I came back like 15 minutes later?
He was fine. 
It was like he had never been hurt in the first place. 
That’s the moment he told me what was going on. He explained he can’t be hurt or damaged. If he gets hurt, it’s more like a tap. And if he does get hurt, those things heal in like seconds. that’s the way it works for a celestial, apparently. But this time? It was different.
And that difference was me. 
I was there when he got hurt. 
I make the Devil vulnerable. Fuck, for all I know, with me around? He can be killed. 
But why me? Why did I get picked for this curse? I don’t mean anything to anyone. Well, I mean, outside maybe the few friends I’ve made at the club, but beyond that? I don’t have anything or anyone, no-one gives a shit about someone like me? I’m a nobody, I’m just a bartender. I’m not special. You both weren't. I’m sorry, but, our family doesn’t have some kind of ancient special bloodline or like connections to famous historical figures or whatever. Not that I have found, anyway. You both didn’t pass anything special to me? 
So why the fuck did it get decided I’m the one to have this curse? Why me? I don’t want to cause anyone pain. I don’t want to hurt anyone. I don’t want Lucifer to get hurt because of me. And yes, I’m more than aware this is a fucking, crazy thought. He is Lucifer, he’s meant to be evil incarnate, and I’m sitting here upset about the fact him being close to me means he can be hurt. 
I’m really fucking scared. What does this all mean? Why did it get decided it’s me who has this? Why not someone else? Does this mean something’s going to happen? Am I meant to be involved into some kind of grand scheme God’s concocted? Am I meant to kill Lucifer to prevent the apocalypse or something? I don’t want this kind of responsibility. I’m not Buffy the Vampire Slayer? I barely know ow to make a proper Mojito, let alone how to fight? I’m not strong enough for something like that.
I don’t want this responsibility, I don't want this curse. I don’t want to be involved in some kind of major plot going on behind the galactic scenes. 
I don’t know what to do. 
Do I run away? Do I just keep going and see what happens? Maybe get the fuck away from Lucifer and find another job?
Thing is though, there’s something inside me telling me I shouldn’t run away. That I should stick with Lucifer. I don’t know what the feeling is or where it comes from, but I think it’s the same feeling that’s allowing me to accept Lucifer is actually meant to be the Devil, but at the same time making me believe he’s a decent person. 
Because he is. He’s a decent person. He’s not evil? Seriously, all the ‘sinning’ that goes on in LUX? That’s not him. He doesn’t have any hand in it in the slightest. It’s the humans walking around themselves who do it. They’re the ones cheating on their partners, they’re the ones getting drunk or snorting drugs or whatever the hell they can get away with inside the club. Lucifer doesn’t cause anything like that. He just mingles, he plays his piano, he doesn’t seek out people to make a deal for their soul. Sure, sometimes people ask him for a favor, but that’s it. There’s no scroll coming out of his pocket to dramatically unroll so people can sign on the dotted line to sell their soul? He’s just… well, vibing is the best way to put it, I guess. 
I know this because I’ve been watching him for the past week, watching the way he is around people, watching the way he acts. Lucifer is being blamed for so much stuff he doesn’t even do? “The Devil made me do it”. Yeah, how about no, pal? You just don’t wanna admit you’re a shitty person. 
Fuck, I’m rambling. 
The fact is, Lucifer isn’t a bad person. He can’t be with the way he is. How can anyone think this considering the fact he went this far for me? One of his employees, someone who shouldn’t really matter to him? Hell, if he wanted to, he could replace me just like that and not even bat an eye at it. I need to ask Reese if he did something similar for him. Whether he had some kind of problem Lucifer helped him with. 
Is it strange of me I hope that’s the case? It probably sounds horrible, putting it like that. I don’t want to wish ill on my friend, but I guess I’m just struggling with the idea he’s singled me out to help. I still don’t really understand why he did. I mean, he’s the Devil, isn’t that kind of his gig? Punish the wicked and all that crap? But still… why does he care about someone like me?
I’m struggling with the idea of this “curse”. I don’t know what else to call it. I don’t want to hurt people. I don’t want people to get hurt because of me. and yet? There’s something inside of me that allows one person to be hurt. This is so fucking fucked up. This is even more fucked up than someone sneaking into our room at night and leaving ominous messages about Lucifer being the Devil. 
Fuck. 
I don’t want this power. There’s gotta be some way to suppress it, or get rid of it, right? There just has to be. that’s how these things go, right? 
Maybe I can ask Maze? She’s a demon, she knows about this kind of stuff, right? Well, most likely. Maybe she knows where I can start finding answers to all this. I know I could and likely should talk to Lucifer about this, but what if it requires something big? Like a sacrifice or dying or something like that? Maybe I’m just being ridiculous now. But I don't want this curse. I want it gone. Whatever fucked up plan God or whoever the fuck decided I should have this power has for me? Fuck them. I don't want any fucking part of it. 
They can go straight to hell and fuck themselves. I won’t play a part in their game. I refuse. 
What am I gonna do? 
Can this curse even be beaten?
I’m really fucking scared.
I wish you are here. 
I miss you.

What the Rain Can’t Wash Away- Chapter 7
Tumblr media
*FINAL PIECE IN THE LOOK IN HER EYES TRILOGY*
Sixteen years after Lucifer rose, and Dean lost his wife he finds himself with a teenager, a Nephilim, an angel, and his brother living out a Full House rerun with some seriously dark undertones. How will he be able to raise his daughter, fight monsters, and deal with the loss of the love of his life? Sometimes moving on is the hardest part, but with the Winchester’s there’s always something harder around the corner. Isn’t there?
Chapter Seven, Sixteen Years and One Love Later
Dean 
Time stopped. I swear to God everything just stopped. My breath in my throat. Blood in my veins. The air was thick and everything just fucking stopped.
Her lips were open slightly to let out a shaking breath. Her blue eyes were wide, in shock, and trailing my face through dark eyelashes. She wore her police academy sweatshirt, and her hair hung at her shoulder like the last night I saw her. Fuck she looked exactly the same. Her face was young. I was speechless.
I was still poisoned by the djinn. Had to be.
She leaned over me and whispered my name again, running her thumb over the wrinkles around my eyes. "Dean."
"This isn't real." I didn't know why else to say.
"Dad," El said cautiously, but I ignored her. I could peel my eyes away from Ava. She poofed in here out of thin air. How far did this djinn rabbit hole go?
"Get off me," I said suddenly. I looked around, my eyes darting rapidly. Where was I? When did we get back to the bunker? "Get the fuck off of me!" I wailed, putting hands on either side of her to gently push her away.
It didn't take long for her to scramble off of me and back up cautiously. "Okay motherfucker. You got me. I'm ready to talk," I shouted angrily, my fists clenching.
My brother and Cas stared at me with tight jaws, like I was going insane. They were in my head. It was all in my head. "Come on!" I screamed, grabbing the back of a chair. I raised it above my head and threw it as hard as I could. It clattered and broke against the wall of the bunker. El let out a scream, and I watched Claire pull her against her chest. El buried her face in Claire's shoulder, her hand opening, and the white pearl bounced onto the floor, settling at her feet.
"Dean," Cas murmured, in front of me. I turned to him and he pressed two fingers to my forehead. "I'm sorry."
 ——————-
 I was still drunk with sleep, but I could feel a tickle on my nose. "Daddy."
I sniffled a bit, feeling her finger run along the bridge of my nose. She knew I was grumpy when I woke up, so she always approached cautiously. She had since she was little. "Eleanor?" I groaned, my eyes fluttering open.
"Dad, I'm so sorry." Her voice broke. She was crouching by the bed so she could be face to face with me. "I messed up."
"What are you talking about?" I rubbed my eyes, sitting up slowly. I wasn't sure when I fell asleep, but it was heavy on my eyelids.
"I was holding the pearl..." She got up to sit next to me, and I put my legs over the edge of the bed. "I was waiting to give it to you, and I don't know... I couldn't stop thinking about all that you've lost, all that we've lost... I kept picturing the way you looked at her in your dream. I didn't mean to... I should've wished for Micheal, but I didn't even know I was wishing..." She was rambling. Her eyes were red, as they threatened to spill over with tears.
"Hey, slow down," I said, pushing her hair behind her ear. I was still so tired.
"I didn't mean to bring her back." Her voice broke.
I stared at her and everything came back to me in a rush. Ava. "You.. you did it?"
"I'm so sorry," Ella cried harder, burying her face in her hands.
The pearl. The mother fucking magic pearl brought her back. It brought her back just as she was sixteen years ago when I lost her. I grabbed her face in my hands. "Eleanor Mary Winchester, don't you ever apologize for that. Don't ever apologize for that," I repeated.
She nodded in her tears, looking unbelievably relieved. "You aren't mad?"
"No. Honey, I'm not mad. Of course I wanted Micheal gone, but Ava... your mom, it's more than I could've ever dreamed for."
"Me too," she whispered, selfishly.
I pulled my daughter into my arms. She was so grown up, but in that moment she seemed so small. I could see her like she was five years old again, cuddled into my chest. I kissed her hair, breathing her in before I whispered. "Where is she?"
She looked up at me, and I saw her mouth moving, but I didn't hear her. Before I knew it I was running.
I stood in front of the room Sam and Cas laid her down in, and suddenly I couldn't move. I wasn't the man she left behind sixteen years ago. I was old, jaded, I had a fucking Arc Angel in my melon. I wasn't exactly husband material anymore. I was a mess, at best. How could I go in there and tell her hi, we pulled you from Heaven for this. Surprise! I wasn't sure it'd go over well. I wasn't sure if she even wanted to be back. I just wasn't sure.
I took a deep breath, and let it out. More than anything, though, I wanted to see her. I pulled the door open slowly. She was asleep on the bed, looking peaceful. My heart squeezed at the sight of her.
Part of me wondered if this wasn't real. If I was still poisoned, but my head was clear for the first time in a long ass time. I was focused. She was here.
I walked to her and pulled up a chair next to her bed. She could've been a Disney princess sleeping, awaiting Prince Charming. I wondered if I should kiss her, but I worried that it'd scare her, and that was the last thing I wanted to do.
Ava groaned a bit in her sleep, and I watched her eyes move behind her lids. I watched her breath hitch in her throat, as she slowly opened her eyes. They looked unfocused and filled with sleep. She was so much more beautiful than I ever remembered her. My old man brain was pulling from pictures, but her face was so much more in person.
"Hey," I said cautiously.
She blinked a few times and sat up slowly. Her hand went to her back and she pulled it in front of her, and looked at her palm, then me. "Hey back." She swallowed and looked around slowly. "Where.. where are we?"
She squinted, and I suddenly realized how this must look. The concrete room looked like a fucking prison. Despite Ella living here, we didn't exactly have a women's touch. "It's a bunker. We live here."
"We... we live here? We have a house, Dean, and this isn't it."
My heart squeezed. "I haven't lived in that house in a long time, Ave."
"I can't be here anymore, Sam," I said, bouncing a screaming Eleanor in my arms.
"This is your house, Dean. I thought we agreed to let Nel live a normal life."
"Listen to me, Sammy," I snapped. I hadn't slept more than an hour since Ava died, and it wasn't just because I was taking care of a baby without a mom. "I can't be here anymore. Not without her. This is her house I made for her... it's not mine without her."
"A long time..." Then it was like she was seeing me for the first time in the low light from the bedside lamp. "Dean what happened? I was in that church... and then I woke up in a strange place in the dark."
I couldn't say it. I couldn't tell her that I lost her. Not again.
"What aren't you saying?" She asked, her eyes searching my face. She reached forward and touched my cheek. "You look different..."
"Older," I said, finally.
"Yeah," she said, running her thumb over the wrinkles around my eyes.
Suddenly I felt the weight of my age. Of every age line. Of the scars on my body from Purgatory, and the Mark of Cain. All the sacrifices. All the scars she couldn't see. I wasn't the same Dean Winchester that she remembered, but somehow, looking at her, I felt like him again. I felt like no time had passed.
"How much older are you?"
I closed my eyes, avoiding her gaze. "Sixteen years. It's been sixteen years since I lost you, Ave."
I opened my eyes, and was met with her blue ones welling over with tears. Her bottom lip was trembling. "How?"
"Lacey... she... she fucking stabbed you." I ran my hands over my face. "I couldn't... I couldn't save you... I'm so sorry. By the time I got to you you were almost gone."
"What about Nel? Is she.. oh god.. please tell me she isn't.."
"Hey, no. She... Nel is great." I smiled weakly, taking her hands. "She's perfect."
A wave of relief washed over her face, but beyond her eyes I could still see her trying to piece together what I was telling her. "She's almost seventeen, and she's going to graduate early. She's smart... just like her mom." She met my eyes and tears bled down her cheeks.
Fuck it. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her to me. She melted into my arms, and I tangled my fingers in her hair. "I've got you," I whispered into her hair as she let it all out. I felt my own body racked with sobs right along with her.
We were holding each other up, like we always had. She'd always been my rock, there was no denying that. She held me up at my worst, and gave me a whole new life. I just hoped the new one I was about to give her would be one worth having. She pulled back and looked at me with bloodshot eyes. They looked so blue, almost turquoise since she'd been crying. "Sixteen years... god." She exhaled and then her grip tightened on my arms. "How did you bring me back? How am I here? Dean, what did you do?"
My eyes landed on hers. I couldn't tell her about Micheal, not yet. "It was Nel. She had this magical pearl that could grant your inner desire. Guess instead of Taylor Swift tickets, she wanted her mom back. Who knew? Teenagers are so unpredictable." I shrugged, trying to act like it wasn't a huge deal.
"Just like that? No consequences? She pulled me out of.."
"Where exactly were you, Ave?"
"I don't know," she said quietly. "I'm telling you, I was in your arms in that church and then I was here."
I shook my head. "I don't know if there are consequences, but fuck, if I'm being honest, I don't really care. All I've wanted since I lost you was this.. I couldn't say it out loud. I couldn't want it, but I did."
"So you didn't... you didn't remarry?"
I didn't mean to laugh, but it came out of my mouth before I could stop it. "Fuck no. Didn't even date. You're it for me, Ave. always have been."
Ava let out a shaky breath. "That makes me sad."
"What does?"
"That you've been alone all this time. That Nel hasn't had a mother..."
"Listen, Sweetheart, Nel is enough for me. She was enough work, and there was no one who could've replaced you. No one, but I did have Cas and Sam. We were a parenting team."
"Cas? The angel?"
"A lot has changed," I admitted. "Cas is family. He's my best friend."
She touched her head like it was spinning.
"Hey, you good? Is this too much? I can slow down..."
"It's a lot," she admitted, meeting my eyes. "You look so... so sad, Dean. Your eyes." She stared to cry again touching the bags under my eyes. "Christ, I thought you didn't sleep before..."
I placed my hand over hers and I leaned into her touch. "I'm not good at sleepin alone."
"I feel like I missed so much... like I missed a lifetime."
"We get a second chance, Ave," I said quietly. "I don't want to dismiss what you're feeling... I know how I felt coming back from Hell and seeing what I missed, and fuck that was just four months."
"I guess I'm just... I'm in shock. It feels like no time has passed, but then I see you..."
My heart sinks, and I let her go. This wasn't what she signed up for. I'm a forty three year old man looking at a woman who isn't even thirty. When she left she had a baby, and a man her own age, and now she had a teenager she didn't get to raise, and a fucking grandpa who lives like a bachelor with two other dudes and Satans kid. It wasn't exactly what I promised her when we got married. I needed to stop assuming that she wanted this. That she wanted me. "I know... I'm not what you left behind. I'm old." I smiled weakly. "Can't keep up as well as I used to. Sure as hell crankier than I used to be." I laughed. "Due for a few grays, I'm sure."
"Hey." She grabbed my hand. "Look at me."
I turned my eyes to her, anticipating the inevitable.
"You're so fucking beautiful. You have always been beautiful, Dean Winchester. God, if I would've known you would age this well... I don't think I would've believed it. John was always handsome, so I knew my chances were good, but you. Wow, you take my fucking breath away. I'm not even being dramatic, either, I'm actually downplaying it." She smiled widely. This big, beautiful, light up my world kind of smile. "I don't care that you're older. The only thing I care about is that I didn't get to grow old with you. I can't imagine all you had to go through alone, and I'll never be able to forgive myself for missing it all."
