The Dance Has Finally Arrived

Author's Note: I think a good song that Lucifer and MC would dance to in this scene would be Danse Macabre.

The most surprising thing that has occurred to me this evening is the fact that so many people have wanted to dance with me, and not just those involved in the exchange program. Granted, I think some of the demons I danced with wanted to eat me once we were done, but they didn't, which I take as a win.

I'm currently sitting next to Asmo after Mammon insisted on having me as his partner for the last two dances. Asmo's in the middle of telling me a story about one of the demons he danced with when Lucifer approaches us.

"MC," he states, interrupting Asmo. "I'd like for you to dance with me." He extends his hand out to me, to Asmo's glee. Thankfully, the fifth brother has enough decorum to not squeal in the ballroom, but I can see the excitement in his eyes. Nervously, I get up and take Lucifer's hand, and he guides me away from Asmo.

"You've been quite popular this evening," he says as he helps position me. "I think everyone here likes you."

"That's a relief," I reply. His left hand grabs a hold of my right, and I feel a stone press flat against my hand.

Can you hear me? I hear Lucifer's voice ask in my head.

Yes. I answer. The stone must allow people the ability to communicate telepathically.

"I'll lead," he responds out loud as the music begins playing. As soon as our feet begin moving, our mental conversation resumes

Do you know why I asked you to dance with me?

No.

In general, there are all sorts of reasons why one might ask someone else to dance. For example, they might be interested in them, they might want to touch them, or they might simply be doing it out of politeness.

My guess is that you're doing it out of politeness.

No. I'm using the opportunity to have a private conversation.

But you don't want anyone to overhear us, hence the stone.

Exactly. You know how you said you've been worried about me?

Yes.

Well, I've been worried about you myself. I know that you've not been in control of all of your decisions.

Am I in trouble?

No. Not with me. But we both could face dire consequences if Diavolo found out that I disobeyed his orders to send my youngest brother to the human world and that you've come into contact with him and are now possessed.

Then why did you allow me to sleepwalk my way up the stairs?

Because the longer I kept you away, the more dangerous Belphegor would have become in his attempts at getting you to him. I know you are trying your best to fight him, but he's very good at getting his own way, as you've been forced to witness. He's using you to escape the attic, and I'm afraid the only thing I can do is postpone his plans. Since he possessed you in your dreams, I can't stop him completely.

What will you do to me when he does escape?

I don't know. There's a part of me that wants to show you no mercy when you've become a threat to us, but there's also a part of me that wishes to destroy my brother for what he did to you. He's forced you into a very similar situation to the one I'm in with Diavolo, and it infuriates me. I at least was able to make that decision, however painful and loathsome it has become.

Is there anything I can do to stop him?

Keep fighting him for as long as you can. That's all you can do. The song's almost over, and Solomon looks very eager to dance with you.
