Mikrokosmos [Reader x Lucifer]

Chapter Four

Third Person POV

Ten thousand years has now passed and y/n has never moved on from Lucifer's banishment, so she just pretended that she was fine. She would act completely normal, but then would sulk by herself in her home. Michael and Azrael never stopped giving her company as they know how much their brother's, Lucifer's, presence meant for her.

Throughout the time, y/n prospered to become one of the archangels. Adam congratulated her and would try to make time to hangout with her but was too busy dealing with his exorcist army.

One day, Michael walked up to y/n with a somewhat serious look on his face. "Would you mind if I talk to you about a matter that's been troubling me?"

Y/N's POV

"What is it Mike?"

Michael was silent for a moment before he spoke. I looked up from the pile of papers I had in my desk to look at Michael, who took a seat across my desk. "It feels like you're still holding on to the past. It's been thousands of years now and you should have moved on from this. Lucifer's gone, nothing you do will change that."

I sighed as I put down my pen that I had used to sign documents for hours now. "I know Mike, you're right, I should move on and I really want to, really. But it's really difficult. You know very well that Lucifer and I were like two peas in a pod ever since we were little angels. Remember when we would continue to climb and cling onto your legs?" I chuckled as I reminisced a memory from millenials ago.

"Yeah...I remember that. You both would never fail to do it every time I came along you two. I used to always scold Lucifer to stop but he always said it was a fun game." Michael laughed.

"Exactly! Out of everyone, he was the one who understood me the most. Everyone always seemed nervous to talk to me when I'm the most open and approachable angels here in heaven!" I sighed as I looked at the picture I have of Lucifer and I on my desk. "I'm just happy that they let me keep this photo of him and I."

"I understand perfectly, but you can't keep this going for much longer. It's been so long and you haven't been able to move on. You have a lot of friends, you have me, Adam, Azrael and all of the other archangels who are willing to talk to you. You don't need to pretend you're ok anymore, this is serious now and you need to face those feeling of grief."

"So you noticed huh?" I spoke, looking down onto my desk.

"Of course I did y/n. Lucifer is the only one who knows you since you were a little angel. I may not know you as well as he did but I can see through you. Sometimes you come in with eye--bags and reddened eyes. I never asked because I wanted you to be the one to open up, but now I've had enough. I couldn't bear to see you like this anymore." Michael explained with a ton of slight solemn.

"You do know that it doesn't help the fact that you look exactly like him?" I chuckled, looking up at Michael, who then smiled softly at me.

Michael laughed as some of the other archangels were eavesdropping on our conversation. They hadn't said anything but they couldn't help but to listen in. "I hear this quite frequently actually. We are differently similar, but I am not Lucifer. I think you need to see that." Michael responded with a slight smile.

"I know that Mike. I am not that delusional!" I sighed but then chuckled. "But yea.. I guess I should start to move on now. You're right, he wouldn't want to see me like this."

The tension of the room lessened as many of the eyes that were on us no longer seemed so worried and concerned, including Michael's eyes. He smiled, "I'm glad that you're finally seeing this. We aren't doing anything right now, so could I make a proposition to you?"

"Hm? What is it?"

Michael paused for a moment. It felt like there was something in his mind that he was unsure of but felt like right now was the perfect time. "I'm not sure how you would respond to this. But...if you'd let me, how about if I can offer you to travel to Hell and see Lucifer? I promise you this, but I think it would be good for you to speak to him again, just one last time?" Michael explained in a whisper, in hopes that the others in the room was unable to hear his offer.

"Wait you would do that for me?!" I exclaimed, gaining eyes on me as I immediately covered my mouth then waved them off as if nothing was going on. Michael laughed at my antics. "Shhh. Of course I would. I care about you so much and I know that by doing this would help you find some closure to the whole thing. Would you allow me?"

"Of course!!! Oh thank you so much Mike!!!" I yelped as I jumped to him from my desk to give him a big, tight hug. Michaels laughed as he felt me jump onto him. He then returned the hug, he had let his guard down around me and was treating me like a real friend rather than a fellow archangel in this moment. "How about we leave right now? We'd be down in Hell before any of Heaven would even notice, we'd have some privacy down there and then you could see Lucifer. Afterwards, I can make sure that it's only you and him down there if that's what you wish, ok?"

"Ok, the let's go!" I screamed in excitement as I pulled Michael by his hand and flew towards the gates of Heaven. Michael laughed as he was pulled by me, some of the angels on the ground began to whisper to each other as they notice Michael and I flying as I was dragging him with me. The other archangels just smiled and watched Michael and I made our way out of the office, unknowing of the reason behind my smile.

Once me and Michael had reached the gates of Heaven, he began to speak after taking a deep breath. "Now we're going to go through these gates together, just like any other but we will be going straight to Hell rather than to Earth. I can only allow you about an hour to spend with Lucifer. Is that clear? Are you ok with this?"

"Yes!" I replied in excitement as my wings fluttered in excitement. Oh my Heavens! I can actually see Lu! Wait...what would we even talk about? There's so much I want to do with him! I need to make this one hour worth it! 

Michael laughed at how excited I was and smiled. "Okay then, follow me." He began to lead me towards the big gates in front of us. As we approached the gate, I felt a strange shift in the air, the energy was a lot different than what I would usually feel inside Heaven. The gates opened when they sensed our presence as we both managed to walk through and flew through the portal and into the vast land of Hell. The environment was completely different here, it was warmer than usual and I could feel my wings flutter a lot more than usual than what I was used to.

Michael then continued o lead me deeper and deeper into Hell. I could see the vast red landscape changing around me, the atmosphere was different here, the air was thicker and felt heavier that it was in Heaven. I also felt my sensed had been amplified by a ton. "We're almost there", Michael spoke, breaking the silence as we continued to descend into Hell.

The land got dimmer as we ventured, it was dimmer than what I was used to so it was a little difficult for me to see up ahed. However, the landscape began to changed as we descended past the dark red clouds. Past it, it was pretty bright, as the city lights in the shape of a pentagram had illuminated the place. So I'm guessing we're in pride ring, where Lucifer is. As my vision began to adjust to its surroundings, I could see a palace ahead and the silhouette of someone up ahead. It belonged to Lucifer, who was still unaware of Michael and I's presence. He looks so different, more charming. A warm smile appeared on my face as I saw him.

Second person POV

Lucifer didn't sense any presence in his world as he seemed to be in a deep thought. He was so deep in though about his position now. As soon as Michael and your presence was sensed however, he snapped his head to you as his whole face changed from a deep thought to a happy smile. He has now recognized Michael and your presence.

Lucifer's face lit up in the red land and he was about to say something but he just looked at you for a few moments, almost as if he was speechless to see you down in his own world. His whole demeanour changed as soon as he was able to properly register that you were really here. It was like he couldn't believe it happened ad was surprised yet so happy and relieved that you had visited him in Hell.

"Y-Y/n?"
