A beautiful melody.

A certain beautiful melody was stuck in my head ever since I woke up.

A melody that kept playing over and over again in my dream.

When I woke up, I found myself staring at the painting on the wall across from my bed again, examining the violin that rested on the piano.

Huh, it seems that my subconscious really liked that painting since it gave me a whole ass dream where I played the violin with Lucifer accompanying me on the piano...that was kind of weird, not gonna lie. It seems like my dreams of Lucifer only keep getting stranger and stranger, with my brain making up all sorts of scenarios where he isn't threatening at all, but rather kind and gentle.

It's hard to believe how sweet he is in my dreams when I remember how he is in real life.

And the strangest part of it all is that every single time I dream of him, it feels so real, like I literally feel the warmth of his skin whenever I hold his hand, the smoothness of his hair whenever I touch it, or the faintest pain whenever he playfully flicks my forehead.

But honestly, in an odd way, these dreams appear to be my main source of comfort ever since I got to the Devildom, they sort of make me forget how dangerous my situation is right now, actually allowing me to have some restful sleep.

I find myself wishing to just sleep forever to keep enjoying those pleasant dreams.

With a sigh, I reluctantly get out of bed, knowing fully well that today is going to be a long day.

When I do my morning routine and head downstairs, I only find Simeon to be sitting in the living room, drinking a cup of coffee. His eyes light up when he sees me.

-"Oh, good morning, (Y/N)! You slept well, I hope?"

-"Yeah, I slept fine, thanks for asking." I smiled, it felt nice seeing an angel first thing in the morning. "Would it be okay for me to make myself a cup of coffee, too?"

-"Of course! I can make it for you, if you want to?"

-"Thank you, you're so nice! But there is no need! I am sure I can manage."

-"Alright, then. Let me know if you need help finding anything."

I nod with my smile remaining on my face as I turned around to scan the kitchen for the things I needed, finding myself humming the beautiful melody from my dreams while I started heating up some water.

-"Oh, hey, I think I heard this song before!" I hear Simeon saying from the couch behind me, so I turn around to face him again with a raised eyebrow.

-"Oh, you did?"

-"Yeah, I think I remember hearing it before back in the Celestial Realm. It was played by...uhm, two dear friends. I just happened to be walking by, but I specifically remember hearing this song because the two of them played it so beautifully together, I just had to stop and listen." He said, a sad smile making its way on his face as he seemed to be deep in thought.

-"That's nice." I said quietly, before turning around again to open the fridge to look for the milk, deciding to let Simeon be in his thoughts, since he seemed to almost look nostalgic in a way.

Perhaps he missed these two friends since they are probably waiting for him back in the Celestial Realm while he stayed in the Devildom.

Yeah, that's probably it.
