Lucifer's or Lucilfer's?

"false hope"

        It was the first time the Troupe had ever seen a house so big, but to be fair, not many people lived in modern-day castles. Y/n opened the door to her house and let everyone in. "Make yourselves at home, there are six available rooms upstairs, master bedroom is off limits, there are four rooms on this floor and if one of you would like, you can sleep in the basement" she explained to everyone, before attempting to disappear somewhere.

     "Not so fast, I want a personal tour" Chrollo knew what he was doing. "What do you want to see?" Y/n asked. "The whole place" Chrollo said. Y/n rolled her eyes. "This is the living room" she pointed to the first room that you can see once you open the door. There were three powder blue couches with gold decor and a white rug. The floors were white marble and it shone brightly without a single speck of dirt. 

       "The kitchen and dining room are over there and down the hall are the four rooms. You can access the basement from that door" Y/n pointed. "This place is spotless, you clean by yourself?" Chrollo asked. "No I'm too busy" Y/n scoffed. "You have people to clean this place, don't you?' Chrollo assumed. "Obviously, but you don't want to know how I got them to clean this place" Y/n explained. "Same way you have chauffeurs I'm guessing, you make deals with people and if they can't pay the debt, Lucifer takes their souls and leaves the bodies so you can have your little housemaids" he explained. 

      "Okay, are we done with this tour?" Y/n asked. "No, you haven't moved a muscle since you've gotten here" Chrollo reminded her. "I'm exhausted, I got possessed a couple of hours ago" Y/n started playing his game. "You're the spawn of Satan, I'm sure you're more durable than that" Chrollo provoked her. "Would you like to see the basement or upstairs next?" Y/n asked. "Upstairs, basement and then backyard" Chrollo replied. "I never said anything about outside" Y/n reminded Chrollo. "But I want the full tour" he replied. "You get under my skin, did you know that?" Y/n said. 

        "How so, didn't I rescue you from that place?" Chrollo reminded Y/n. "First off, I would have escaped eventually and also you had help and half your team left you because you decided to help me" Y/n told Chrollo. "You're reading me without my permission?" Chrollo asked. "It's not something I can turn off so I'm going to read you whether you like it or not" Y/n said. "The bedrooms?" Chrollo changed the subject. "The what?" Y/n was thinking something different. "You still have to give me a tour" Chrollo explained. 

      The two of them walked up the stairs and Y/n continued to show him around her house. "Most of the guest rooms are the same and there are a couple of bathrooms up here" Y/n explained. "Is that your bedroom down the hall?" Chrollo asked. "Yes it is" she replied. "Can I see?" Chrollo asked. "That's an invasion of my privacy" Y/n turned and started walking down to the basement. 

       "Down there is the basement, I don't want to go down there right now cause I'm cold, but you can do what you want" Y/n said to Chrollo. "Okay I'm looking down there" he told her. "Whatever floats your boat" Y/n said to him. After a few moments, Chrollo came back up wide eyed. "It's huge down there" he was shocked. "Did you really think I'd buy a house with a small basement?" Y/n asked with a smile on her face. 

     "Well it isn't like you to have anything cheap and small" Chrollo said. "Exactly, now let's take this outside" Y/n walked to the back door, with Chrollo following her. She had about two acres of land in the back and she had a horse stable, some flowerbeds and plants growing. "Oh wow, this place is huge" Chrollo said. "I know, are you happy now? You got the full tour" Y/n said. "Yes I am! Thank you so much Y/n" Chrollo continued to egg Y/n on, but left her alone in the backyard. 

    Y/n walked over to the horse stable and gently rubbed her horse. The grand horse had a beautiful black coat and was incredibly gentle, considering its size. "I missed you too Obsidian" Y/n said to her horse. Y/n was deep in thought, she knew the choice she had left and she knew it was dangerous. If she failed at her task, she'd either finally die or her eternal suffering would worsen, which scared her. Her fears were totally rational, considering she had to fight Lucifer for her freedom. 

    "Hey Y/n! You've been out here for a while, the sun's setting soon" Shalnark entered the horse stable. "You're right, thanks for the reminder" Y/n followed him back into the house. She went up to her room without saying a word and Chrollo could tell something was up. Y/n was still deep in thought as she stared at her backyard, thinking of her choices. She then heard the door open. "Chrollo what did I tell you about coming in here?" Y/n asked him. 

       Chrollo stood next to Y/n. "I thought you could use someone to talk to" he said. "What are you talking about?" she asked. "I can tell something is up" he said. "I'm going to see him, in Hell" Y/n told Chrollo. He held more fear in his eyes than Y/n did. "...why?" he asked. "It's the only way" she told him. "No, there has to be a safer way" he said. "There isn't...I'll be fine" Y/n tried calming him. "That's not true, he already possessed you, what's next?" Chrollo asked. "Why do you care so much?" Y/n was hostile. 

        "I care because I love you!" Chrollo confessed. Y/n's eyes widened when she heard those words. "You don't mean that, nobody would love me knowing how messed up I am" Y/n said. "Somebody would love you...flaws and all, and that somebody is me" Chrollo said. "I leave at dawn, don't even try following me" Y/n said to Chrollo, already accepting her fate. 

        The two of them left the balcony and Y/n closed the curtains. Chrollo stood in front of her and pulled her into a kiss. Y/n was holding back tears, knowing that this was probably her bittersweet ending. "Promise me you'll come back" Chrollo said. "I can't make that promise" she didn't want to give him false hope. "I'll leave you alone now" Chrollo sounded hurt as he left Y/n's room.
