You're More then just a Demon (RadioApple)

Truth be Told

Lucifer POV 

I'm sitting on the couch watching Zere play on the ground. He's 1 year old now and he's gotten so big. Alastor is off at a meeting, we have been taking turns going to the meetings as kings of hell, that way, we both can spend time with Zere. I look at the time. 'meeting should have been over for an hour now, I wonder where he is' Zere runs to Husk when he walks up to me. "hey kiddo." He picks Zere up, smiling. "look at you, getting so big!" i look at him "hey Husk," "where's Al?" "meeting" "still?" I nod, getting worried until he walks in the front door. "Sorry, i'm late! The meeting was taking forever. "" I'm just glad you're back; I was getting worried!" "I'm also late for another reason." "oh??" "Look what I got!" he holds out ice cream "i cream!!" Zere wiggles out of Husk's arms and runs to him. "Are you excited!" He picks Zere up and kisses his cheek a bunch

I laugh. "Ah, that makes so much more sense; of course you got him a treat." "i had too!" Zere is trying to grab a cone. "Here, bud." Alastor sets him down and hands him the cup of ice cream he's holding. "yay!!" Zere sits down and happily eats it, then Alastor hands me the cone. "and of course for you too." "thank you, hun." He sits on the couch and relaxes. "Mamon is an idiot; have i mentioned that? I hate that man. So so much." "oh? What did he do this time?" "the entire time he kept bugging Stolas for money! He heard Stolas finally got a divorce and asked if he would split his income with him instead! Stolas was uncomfortable the entire time; it took me threatening to eat him for him to stop!" "those meetings can't ever go normally; someone has to be a pain."

Alastor gets a notification and looks at his phone, smiles, then types on his phone, 'oh? I wonder who he's texting; he looks pretty excited to be getting a text from them, i bet itCharlie, Nifty or his mom. i eat my ice cream, getting lost in thought, but I snap out of it. "i need to take a shower, hun, he says, going upstairs. "Okay, have fun!" I lean back, watching Zere say, "oh nooo, your face is covered in ice cream!" I wiped his face off, laughing, "messy boy!" He laughs as I clean his face. I hear my phone go off. I grab it and see it from Vox. "hm?" I read the text, "listen, I have to come clean. It was so much fun at first and I really liked it. Honestly, I still do but you need to know. Alastor and I have been texting... and meeting up after his meetings." I am very confused and text him back "I know Al wouldn't cheat on me so try again, jackass." he texts back like he was waiting for me to respond, "i have proof. Here." He sent 34 screenshots of his text conversation with Al. It was a bunch of flirting and he even told Vox he loved him."

One thing he says sticks out to me: "trust me. My plan worked. I married him. He got my contract to break. Thats all i fucking wanted; im powerful and i have my soul. My plan worked perfectly, other then him getting pregnant with that fucking kid. I had to keep him thinking i loved him and here i am with a fucking ugly, stupid, worthless kid." My heart felt like it was shattering. I need to throw up and I can't breathe. I grab Zere and run upstairs into our room. Alastor is just finishing up getting dressed. "HOW COULD YOU!" He jumps and looks at me. "do what!?!" "You know what I'm talking about!" I cried hard, holding Zere tightly. He goes silent. "I'm sorry."So it's true then? How could you do this!?" "I'm sorry, I didn't know it would hurt you so badly!" "You didn't think it would hurt me so badly!? Are you serious!?"

Zere is crying from the screaming, "it was just one episode, i promise!" he tears up. "im sorry, please. i really didn't think it would hurt you so badly. im so sorry." I pause, and the tears even stop flowing. "What?" "I promise... please. It was just one episode. I got too excited and it came out early and I had to watch it after they left us on a cliffhanger. I didn't know I would hurt you so badly by doing it." he's looking down, gripping his hands together. "wait.. You're talking about watching our show..? Vox just texted me, telling me and showing me that you've been cheating on me with him!" Alastors head shoots up, "WHAT!? That's what you're talking about!?" he covers his mouth. "i'm going to throw up." He takes Zere from me and calms him down, then hands me his phone "i promise that is not what i'm doing." Zere nuzzles into his chest, giggling again. I look at his texts and find his text conversations with Vox, Alastor is giving him one-word replies and that's it and my entire body shivers with relief
