(No Ones Pov)
The demon stares at the sleeping human with his own tired eyes. He couldn't fall asleep even though his body was telling him otherwise. Exhaustion plagued his mind and body yet he found himself unable to do that one thing. He sighs letting his hand rest on his forehead as he looks at the ceiling. Everything about how he felt seemed so unreal, after all, no demon, especially one as powerful as him. Believes one day they'll share their bed with a human. Unless the demon was as lustful as Asmodeus who didn't care who he was with as long as he got what he wanted.
"Can't sleep?" a soft voice pulls him from his thoughts as he is met with familiar eyes looking back at him. A tired smile pressed to their lips as they tried to look awake but failed in many ways. This only makes the demon's heart flutter in ways that he has felt only with them. He begins to inch closer to them, allowing his arms to capture them in an embrace, one they had shared many times before and would experience more in the future. A soft hum leaves his lips as he presses a kiss to their forehead.
"I'm sorry if I woke you." the demon whispers letting his voice fade out once he finished his sentence. They both can't help but be in silence with each other, a sense of comfort filling them as each second passes by.
"You didn't wake me, in truth I couldn't sleep as you were looking at me" they chuckle out causing the prideful demon to become flustered slightly. He had been so tired he hadn't been aware they were awake.
"Sorry," he mutters, turning his head so as to not look at them. Staring at the portrait across the room, his room that he now shared with them. Not that he minded. No in all honesty he never minded. He remembers the first night they came to him. He had been up at night doing paperwork when they stumbled in with tears in their eyes...
A tired sigh leaves the demon as he is pressed against his desk. His hand rests against his head as he struggles to finish the papers in front of him. Wishing that the papers would disappear from his sight and he would be able to sleep, yet the pile was never-ending. The pen is dropped from his hand when he reaches for the glass of liquor on his desk, the one he had been neglecting all night. But before the glass reaches his lips the door is pushed open and closed soon after. Allowing the human to slip in before he could process what was happening.
"Lucifer" his name is slurred as it escapes their lips with broken sobs. His eyes widened and before he knew it he was kneeling on the ground in front of them. His hands rest on their lower arms as they stand above him.
"(Y/N) what happened?" the demon whispers, causing them to break down even more as they collapse into his arms. Head resting against his chest and arms tightly wrapped around him. He can't say anything as they take deep breaths trying to calm themselves down from something he has yet to learn about.
"Can we stay like this for a while?" they ask, voice still breaking with each word they spoke. He no longer had the heart to say no to them. He had no idea they had a relationship this close but he felt glad it was him they came to. He hesitates but allows himself to fully pull them closer to him, he feels their fingers grab softly at the fabric of his shirt.
"If it will make you feel better, whatever you must do..." the demon mutters again, pressing his chin to the top of their head. It was only a minute before he felt them calm in his arms. They begin to shift in his arms before looking at him.
"Sorry for bothering you on such a small deal." they chuckle out trying to change the mood in the room, they fail as the demon looks down at them with worried eyes. Something he had meant to keep down and not show. His gloved hand caresses their cheek as he lets a nearly invisible smile come to his lips.
"It wasn't a small deal, but I am glad you are feeling better now." he hums out, tears stopped flowing from their eyes allowing him to get rid of them again. His head tilted to the side as they looked at him with eyes he couldn't read. Their hands begin to trail up to the collar of his shirt pulling him forward until their faces are a few inches apart. He feels his heart race, knowing, no he had hoped they were feeling it too.
"Thank you, Lucifer," they whisper, the way his name sounded coming from them caused his heart to flutter once more. He began to feel weak, as they continued to stare at him, knowing that this was a feeling he would feel again. This would always come back to him. Before he can say anything he watches their eyes widen as he closes the space between them.
That was the first of many nights that they spent together...
"You know, you act all tough with others. But deep down you are a softie" they say letting their hands rest on either side of the demon's face. Watching his eyes narrow at the comment he was too tired to fight against them and their affections. A part of him wanted them to continue but his pride often got in the way. His hands rest against theirs softly pressing against their warmth, something he had grown so used to. He was afraid he would no longer be able to function without them. He knows if they ever left he no longer would be able to sleep. He would be lost without them next to him.
"Don't ever say anything about this," he says softly, kissing the palm of their hand, closing his eyes as he does so for a split second. "I'll only ever become a fool for you" he speaks calmly as they look at the demon with a flustered expression. They let it happen as he inches closer to them, not looking away once. "You see." he begins letting his voice once again slip below a whisper. "I'm desperately in love with the very idea of you. Having you here next to me is something I never expected to happen. When you are next to me I feel at ease." the demon says, letting the human who is next to him smile.
"I love being next to you," they hum out, causing a flustered expression to paint the demon's face. "If this is what the rest of my life will be, I never want to leave..."
