Lucifer X Reader

Chapter 3

Did you even know what you wanted? I mean, a part of you saw a whole future where you and Lucifer were happy for an infinite amount of time... yet a small intrusive thought always managed to burst its way through this perfect bubble.

What if you were a fling? Nothing more than that? What if it was all fake...something that didn't actually ever mean anything to him? What would happen then? If this love was all one-sided, then this embarrassment will last with you forever. The public humiliation, and the comments.

You could envision it so clearly.
'Did she think she stood a chance?'
'Lucifer? And t h e m ?'
Laughter

It was laughter everywhere.

And you could do nothing to stop it.

"Y/N?"

And just like that, you were snapped back to reality. Right.

Asmodeus asking for the 'deets'.

He placed his hands on yours, before saying, "Y/N? Are you okay? Your hands are trembling? Look, I wouldn't really sabotage a love that's true and you know that-"
His words seemed to blur into one long echo.

A love that's true? Did Asmo know something you didn't?

"-so you see, I will support you, and don't worry, even if it pains me inside, I have a lot of information on my dear sweet brother!" Asmo laughed, yet his previous words still lingered in my mind.

True love huh.

"Asmo- what do you know about what Lucifer thinks of...me?" It seemed like a rather stupid question to ask in light of his recent behaviour but... one could only hope.

In return to the question, Asmodeus backed up, before frowning.

"Honey- you don't understand. Lucifer was never a love kind of guy. Nuh-uh, not once! The most it has ever gone with him and someone else is him and some horrid chick from the Celestial Realm- back to when he was still an angel- and that 'love' wasn't love. That was one crazy gal. She was obsessed-rather stalkerish. So that's to say Lucifer has never been in love- let alone kiss someone?" Asmo leaned in further, "Has he done anything... else in particular that makes your heart skip a beat?"

Several scenes came to mind, none which Asmo would be able to keep a right and clear mind whilst listening to, and you were a rather helpless romantic when it came to remembering all of these small details Lucifer definitely overlooked.

Like that time that he had given you a brooch, and in doing so instead of his usual smirk, his smile tended to go downwards, whilst he looked to the ground. It was a clear show of affection that he wasn't used to, and it was adorable. You were somewhat sure he wouldn't have the same list for you.

A knock on the door.

Asmodeus answered before you could even think.

"Hello? Who is it? Don't bother my one on one time with Y/N- not now! Things were just getting somewhere!" He sighed like a child.

The door wound open rather fast and it was none other than Lucifer himself, carrying some tissues wiping his hands. He gave a concerned glance around the room, his eyes practically piercing Asmo. Lucifer makes a, 'Tsch' noise, before walking up to you, offering his arm out so you could link together.

"Breakfast has been ready for 6 minutes as of right now. You are both late. Asmodeus- if I ever-" Asmo leans on his brother, clinging onto his other arm like a dog.

"Oh, are you jealousssss that I got to spend time with Y/N and you didn't? It's not a problem big brother, there's plenty of me to go around!" In response, Lucifer shook Asmodeus off like a rag and cursed under his breath.

"Breakfast. Now." Asmo placed his hands out in shock, and merely nodded before walking out.

Which just left.. the two of you... together.

You unlinked out of old habit in order to scratch your neck awkwardly: what was he going to say? "Y/N, did he do anything?" He said, glancing for a split second at your lips.

"No... we more so talked. He said he could sense-" you do jazz hands sarcastically, "that something romantically passionate had happened to me and he wanted all the details." Lucifer merely raised one eyebrow as if slightly amused.

"But thing is... Asmo somehow knew? That it was you?" You tucked your shirt in nervously. "I don't know how? It's probably his lust knowledge coming in- but-my point is he's not going to tell anyone. After I convinced him not to put it on Devilgram." You were looking at him straight in the eyes, not really afraid of his opinion, although he was the only brother you had yet no control via pact with.

He leaned in closer, stroking your face moving down until his bare hand reached your neck. He moved even closer until his mouth was at your ear.

"I don't mind him knowing. For the record, if I could have it my way, I would want the whole world to know you're mine. And only mine."

You also place your hand on his neck, bringing him slightly closer so you could murmur something in response.

"I wouldn't mind that either... Lucifer." The last word you said seemed to trigger something in him, for he leans in and gives a single peck on your cheek.

With that thought he offered his arm, to which you gratefully took it, in a desperate attempt to hide your flustering reaction. He merely chuckled.

What was this man doing to you?
