Boss From Hell [Lucifer x Reader]

[02]

You slowly opened your eyes to take in your environment, stretching outwards after a long, much-needed nap. Once you're fully awake, you realize something...
You're not in the car anymore.
You look around and find yourself laying delicately on a bed in a bedroom.
Red and black danced on the walls, hardwood floors covered in dust, bookshelves hugged the corners, and an old wardrobe sat by the end of the bed you lied upon.
"What the?..." you wonder to yourself before feeling the sheets. The bed is dressed in red/maroon velvet sheets, black silk sheets and black silk pillows, accompanied by a big, grand bed frame.
"Where am I?" You outwardly spoke to the air, hand covering your forehead as you feel a slight reminisce of a headache.
You looked around the room some more and noticed your shoes neatly placed by the bed, as you took them off in the car.
"Huh...they must have put me in a room to continue resting."
You hope you hadn't slept too long.

You stood from the bed, throwing your legs over the side and putting your shoes back on before approaching the wooden door, accessorized with a gold doorknob that looked to be from the 1800's....how obsessed with furniture do you have to be to be able to find something like this...?
You open the door and are met with a long, empty hallway. You notice there are about 10 doors of different types on the walls, and a long, thin gold and red accented carpet rolling out upon the floor.
The silence bared into your ears as you stepped out of the room, quietly shutting the door behind you.

You walked along the hallway that seemingly went on forever, turning some corners and what not. As you walked, a grand painting caught your attention. It was a beautiful painting of the Mona Lisa in a gold frame sitting on the wall. As you stopped to admire it, you heard a faint voice coming closer and closer to you. Too distracted by the art, you continued to stand there observing it.

Bam!
A tall figure bumped into you, shoving you to the ground below.
"Oh shit! I'm sorry. Let me help you." They said, extending a hand out to you. You look up and meet eyes with a tall dark, stylish man with snow-white hair and blue eyes.
"AGH! HUMAN!..EUGHH!" He said before ripping his hand away.
You sigh and get yourself up, brushing yourself off of the dust.
"Oh, you're the human assistant." He said, scratching his neck with worry.
"That's me.." you reply, angrily.
"Yeah...uhm...sorry about that. I'm just not used to seeing humans in the devildom...it's just...it's not like I hate them, I just don't support their choice of lifestyle..you know?"
"Uhm...okay?" You say confused, adjusting your clothing.

After a few seconds of awkward silence, he speaks up. "Here, I'm sure you probably don't know where to go so let me take you to Lucifer. He's probably super pumped to meet you or whatever, I don't know. That man has a weird fascination with the human world." He says before beginning to walk the opposite way.
You follow shortly behind him, unsure of who this was or why they kept referring to humans and the human world like they're a foreign thing....weird.

At some point of the journey he turns around and sees you fiddling with your fingers, looking flushed.
"Hey..." he starts "I don't really care but stop being nervous, it's not a good look for your first day." He states before turning around and continue walking.
You roll your eyes and follow him once more.

Soon enough, you both approach a fancy shmancy door at the end of the halls, built with one of those old times knocking things you see in like...urban London or in movies in New York. He continues to use the knocking thingy, banging against the door three times.
"Hey, open up Lucifer. Your human assistant is here to start working or something." He says in a tone that suggested he could not care less.
The door slowly opens and you're met with a tall, well fit man with black hair and piercing red eyes.
He's dressed in a black and red suit, with a long fluffy overcoat on his shoulders, and silk black gloves.
"Thank you, Mammon for your help." He states. "Oh..his name must be Mammon." You think to yourself.
"You are dismissed." He states once more, filling Mammon with relief as he walks off.
Lucifer soon turns and looks deeply in your eyes. He's quite handsome..his death stare making you blush.
"Hello, Y/N L/N. Welcome to the devildom's RAD. I am very pleasantly excited to meet you. You look very nice, this evening. Please, come in and take a seat." He says to you, signaling you to enter his office.

You walk into his office and find a seat on the other side of his desk on a red velvet couch.
"You must be quite confused where you are, I thought it would be easier to explain to you in person the...weight...of the job you will be preforming."
You nervously adjust in your seat, afraid of what's to come.
"So, I am the Lucifer. Avatar of pride, eldest of the seven brethren. You are in the underworld, otherwise known as the DevilDom. That there was my lovely brother, Mammon. Avatar of greed, and the second eldest of the seven brethren. I have to apologize in advance for any inconveniences you'll experience whilst near him, because you most certainly will." He stated.
"I know this must be a lot to take in and process, so I've allowed today to be a rest day for you as you may be feeling anxious, and uncomfortable with the information given to you. How are you feeling, miss L/N?"
Your eyes were widened in shock and your jaw hung open.
You were REALLY working for LUCIFER, his seven DEMON brothers in the UNDERWORLD? holy baloney. This can't be real! No way! But it is, you were really there sitting down in Lucifer himself's office.
"U-uhm..A bit confused, actually..." you said, pushing a loose strand of hair behind your ear.
"I guess I've never had a job like this...especially not one where I worked for..a demon."
Lucifer exhaled, he reached out for your hand and held it, placing it on the desk before you entangled within his own.
His thumb softly caressed the back of your hand.
You looked up, a blush scouring your cheeks.
You were met with a sweet, loving smile from Lucifer.

"Don't worry, miss L/N. You are in great hands. I will assure you that I, myself, will do the best I am capable of to take care of you here in the DevilDom."
You felt at peace..Lucifer's words really struck within you. You were content.
After a few moments of peaceful and comfortable silence....he spoke up once more.
"Please, go back to your room and rest. Your body is probably stressed from the adventure of getting here. Humans aren't used to this type of thing anyways. In a few moments, I will deliver some fresh lunch to your room, okay?"
"That sounds nice, thank you Lucifer. Really. This opportunity is a gift. I needed this." You say before standing up to leave.
Walking out, a firm hand placed itself upon your shoulder.
"..it's no trouble at all, Y/N."
You smiled to yourself and left, the hand gently lifting off of you.

This is going to be an exciting career.
