Lucifer X Reader

Chapter 5

Before you could start questioning your entire relationship with Lucifer, he sighed and threw the paper in the bin, scrunching it up as if enraged.

"No, I'm perfectly capable, are you sure you are? You know you're supposed to respond to those 'complaints', right?" You did the air quotation marks whilst half smirking. All he did was give you a glare.

"I will not be responding to silly fan mail. These ridiculous girls have been messaging me and now-after blocking them all- they still manage to get through to me through my work? How pathetic of them." He states simply. You thought he was dealing with it utterly professionally. I mean, you would have went to see all your fans by now had it been you. Pft.

However, this seemed like a real issue.

"Lucifer, you should really talk about that with Lord Diavolo. Not only does it disrupt your work, but-" you pause, looking dramatically up at him in his scarlet eyes, now weary and tired, "these are also disturbing the exchange student so it can't be tolerated. That's what Diavolo said the other day. Anything that disrupts the system- or my life in the Devildom, I can fix."

He looked at you as if you were mad.

Madly in love? Perhaps. But this felt like a reason good enough for me to help anyone-not just Lucifer. It's not normal to be harassed as such on a daily basis. You knew for sure you would have cried several times by now if it were you.

"Look, the mobs of girls have been pretty tough on you recently, but I'm sure I can help some way." You say, not about to know what was coming.

He groaned and allowed his head to bang on the table:still 2 and a half piles of paper to go for him. You felt sorry, rather piteous actually.

You stood up, knowing there was a good chance he was still awake, and ruffling his hair (though it had already looked rather messy from all the time he had spent running his hands through it due to the stress). He reacts by shooting up straight, surprised to see you having been so bold.

You laugh, leaning in to look right in his eyes, which seemed more passionate than usual. He squinted his eyes, and let out an, "I got it!" Making you raise your eyebrows. Did he have a better solution to avoid getting mobbed?

"Y/N... I know it's a lot to ask... but... nobody would bother me if I was taken, and I know you might not be comfortable with this but-?" He asked, ending on an eagerly note, his eyes excited for the first time in the many hours of this day.

"You want me-" you point to yourself-" to date you?" What if you read the whole situation wrong? What if he meant-to become his assistant or something alike? Why did your mind have to go straight to being in a relationship?

Could you be any more obvious?

He snaps one of his fingers together.

"Yes, that's right! It would only be pretend of course, but that should be enough to get unnecessary attention away from me... if you'd be willing to do that. It is an immense amount of pressure, I recognise that. I also recognise that I am half asleep and this may be a terrible decision in retrospect... but?" He leaned in, cocking his head to the side as if he was a puppy waiting for his owner to tell him it's okay to take off its leash.

Your heartbeat could barely take it. Relationship? Yet it would be fake. Calm down Y/N. Don't jump to conclusions. Stay calm and collected.

"Fake? Fine. Just-don't be unreasonable." You half-snapped at him, showing that you were slightly upset it wasn't a real relationship.

He smirks and leans in closer, planting a single peck on your neck, before looking deeply into your eyes.

"Why, does it bother you that it's not a real relationship? Who is to say it won't be real to us-before and after my troubles end? Are you afraid I would leave you? Do you think that lowly of me?" He states, exaggerating his last line, his hand dramatically on his chest and mouth agape.

Pft.

"Yes-I do. Avatar of Pride, may I remind you." He laughs heartily before taking one of your hands and kissing it gently, placing it on his cheek and letting his face fall into your hand.

"I assure you, I will both be respectable towards you and make you think higher of me." He said, showing off his confidence, before scoffing and turning back to his work, now more awake than ever.

Only one problem. It was as if, after his adorable acts, you would merely allow him to continue his work like that. A break had to happen sometime- why not now?

Using the teleportation spell (which you now had perfected due to Solomon-) you send all of his papers into his room-he looks up at you half astonished half with sudden annoyance.

"Tsk. What was that for? Practice your magic elsewhere, I would rather finish my work and then freely spend time with you. You can likely sleep for another hour or so and I'll be with you shortly." Professional as always, yet unfortunately, judging by his weary eye-bags and tired yawns, not only was it going to take far longer than he so anticipates, but he will likely fall asleep mid-way. You weren't having that.

"Lucifer." You say his name, edging your seat closer to his and going very close to his ear. "Your patience amazes me, but I don't have that same mindset." Your warm breath against his ear must have made him change his mind. Along with the fact he no longer had his work in front of him, of course.

He grabs you, one hand on your waist, another on your cheek and pulls you into a deep kiss.

"If you insist, though I must say I would enjoy your company tonight." He smirked.

And with that, you went to his room.
