Our True Ending

For Eternity and a Day

I wake up from a strange dream. I was Lucifer's bride, but it was like nobody else could see me. I was a phantom to all but him. At the altar, there were many guests, his family, and other friends, but they all looked very sad. All of them did except for Lucifer. He was the only one who looked normal and as happy as I would think he'd be if we were to get married. Either I'm dead or he's just that possessive. I try to laugh it off to not worry of any deeper meaning behind it.

"What's so funny?"

"Huh?! Oh, what the fuck?!"

"Did you seriously forget you fell asleep here with me?"

"Uh... a little. I had a weird dream, so I was mostly wrapped up in that thought... instead of noticing that I'm wrapped up with youuu~..."

"You can only get out of punishment if you tell me you dreamt of me like I told you."

"Actually, I did...!"

He laughs a bit, "I'm glad I'm even inside your inner world." He quickly moves on, "By the way, you never answered to what I said. Do you agree?"

"Hm? What did you say?"

"You were dozing off and I said to marry me. What do you say?"

"OHH. Uh...! Um...," I only hesitate from giving him an excited yes

because of the dream I had. I get the thought out of my head, "U - Uh, yes! Of course! Obviously yes!"

"That took a while. Are you sure?"

"Yes, yes, I'm sure. Sorry, I was thinking about the dream."

"Is your dream version of me better than the actual me? I don't have to show you how much the real thing is compared to imagination, do I?"

I give a nervous laugh, not knowing if he means a punishment or a funishment. We talk a bit more and he tells me that whatever I want for the wedding goes and it can also be whenever I want. He would help, but unfortunately, he doesn't have that much time with student council work.

"I'd like for you to incorporate what you would like as well, so it's not all the things I like."

"Don't worry about it. I trust that you'd pick something that suits the both of us," he reassures me.

"Alright, okay, I can definitely do that, but I do want you to choose the music. That's the one thing you have to do, okay?"

"I can do the music. Very well, Y/N. It's settled," he seals the deal with a kiss.

Months pass by. I decided to hold the wedding during my birthday, and the season for this also ended up being really pretty! The brothers kind of made it hell to plan with all their whining and complaining. As usual though, I pulled through! Connections and my power with our pacts made it so that I could get through with not too much of a hassle. As the days approach closer, I'm starting to get more and more excited. I can tell he is too. Whenever he has an opportunity to do or say something sweet, he will. He's also been kind of twitchy, trying to hide his impatience, but I can't hide anything from me just like how I can't from me.

Seven more days. Six more days. Five more days. Four more days. Three more days. Two more days. One more day. Tomorrow. Today.

I have this morning, to help me get ready, the brothers, the ones at Purgatory Hall, Mephistopheles, Thirteen, Barbatos, and the future king of the Devildom himself, Diavolo. Even though they're here to help me, they also use the time as an excuse to get one-on-one time with me to tell me how they feel about the situation. They've made it incredibly evident these last few months, but I think during this time they're a lot calmer now. Instead, they seem to be really happy for me, despite their held back tears. Well, since that took a while, I really am ready now. I just need to wait to know that everyone else out there is settled.
