Lucifer Imagines

Easier to Hate You

You stormed ahead of your company, fists curled into balls as you stepped over roots and rocks that were constantly in your path.

Your teeth gritted together as you felt your friend near you, still willing to punch them in the face if they got to close to you, you'd already slapped him once.

"How many more times do I have to say it's not my fault?" His tedious British accent enters your ears causing your hands to shake as you tightened your fists too hard.

"If you weren't so freakin' pouty and annoying I wouldn't have been sent out here with you in the first place!" You snapped around, glaring into his dark brown eyes.

"Tell me, darling, what is it that you desire the most?" He enthuses as you continue to make eye contact, you roll your eyes walking away with a scoff.

"That might work on some people Lucifer but I have more control over my tongue than most." You inform him. "Plus you wouldn't like the answer anyway."

"My worst has been to genuinely want to kill me, is it that?" Lucifer folds his arms as once again you manage to gain three or four metres on him.

"Yeah, something like that."

"Then do it, I'm right here, we're lost in the woods, it's the perfect place to say the bad guy did it." Lucifer stops, putting his arms out as he tries to give you what you wanted.

"Considering I'm a cop and I like my job, I don't think that's such a good idea but thank you for the offer." At least part of her statement was genuine, Lucifer couldn't quite decipher which one due to your use of sarcasm.

"Alright, the offer stands." Lucifer shakes his head.
"But I will do this." You finally turn around and strike him in the face, his nose cracking under your fist.

"Bloody hell," Lucifer shouts, putting his hand to his nose, blood pouring out like a river.

"That's for losing the flashlight, locking the keys in the car with our phones and leading us out to the woods for the wild animals to eat." Your smile oozes sarcasm.

"You've got a good right hook there, officer." He leans over not wanting blood on his good suit.

"I try my best." You scowl continuing to walk even though Lucifer was still focusing on cracking his nose back into place and stopping the blood.

"I'm going to kill Dan when we get back." You mumble to yourself as you shake out your fist. "He knows how much I despise that devilish freak and yet he just had to send us out together."

"Despise is a strong word you know darling." Lucifer shows up next to you, his nose back in place and the blood is gone.

"Don't you think I know that?" You smile. "That's exactly why I-" before you could finish your sentence a bullet rippled through your flesh, just missing the bulletproof vest that you wore.

You fell to the ground gasping for air as the fall winded you. You put your hand on the wound, finding more blood than you had thought when you retracted your hand.

With this you looked for Lucifer, trying to get him to get back to the car, break-in and call help but you found that you were in the middle of the woods, alone, bleeding out at a rapid pace and you couldn't see a way around it.

You were going to die.

Your eyelids began to get heavy as the minutes passed, only snapping open when you heard three gunshots, you clenched your eyes shut, preying to no-one in particular.

"Please don't be Luci, please don't be Lucifer." Just as you say these words, a body drops down beside you, the criminal who had shot you, his eyes wide and glossy you let out a scream.

Hearing grunting sounds you had become familiar with you turned your head to the sky, your eyes met Lucifer but no like he usually was when he got mad.

He had the most plush, pure white feather wings expanding from his back, blood splattered over his white shirt and dark suit, he lowered to the ground.

"Funny how you want my help when you're in danger isn't it officer?" He quips, leaning over you. "Well, you're going to have to do something for me first..."

"Fine." You felt as if you were choking on your own blood.
"What is it that you most desire?" He stares into your eyes, your mind and mouth not quite stronger enough to resist this time.

"I desire to truly believe that I hate you." The words fell from your mouth, your eyelids sinking shut.

As you woke again, you were in hospital as you had hoped you would be, you remembered everything, terrified that you had admitted your desire to Lucifer, you couldn't help but gulp when he was already in the room with you.

The door appeared to be looked and the blinds were closed on your window, only just enough light to see him across the room

"Before we celebrate that you're awake.... why do you desire that?" Lucifer asks, his voice utterly genuine and thick with confusion as he stares at you from across the room.

"Because Lucifer, I'm attracted to you." You give up on hiding any longer.

"I'm sorry I'm confused..." He states.
"I'm attracted to you and I know you don't see that, or me other than some stubborn cop you have to tolerate and you're always around ... therefore it's easier to hate you."

"Oh..." Lucifer sighs before letting out a chuckle. He makes his way over to your side. "Funny thing is darling, you can't get away from you because something about you makes me feel. That's why I can bleed when you're around..."

"Oh..." Now it was your turn to lack words for a moment. "Right." You nod a smile crawling along your face.

"I can't believe you didn't take note of me willingly following you around like a little lost puppy." Lucifer shakes his head.

"Hopeless you are. Anyway, my dear, you need rest because as soon as you're well... well let's just say I have some plans for us." Lucifer smiles, kissing your forehead as you close your eyes.

It was completely out of character for him, but he was looking forward to showing you that the devil too could have romance flooding through his veins.

But for now, he was content admiring you as you slept through your injury and that you finally knew how he felt.
