ONLY ANGEL (Lucifer Morningstar x OC)

5. Fill in the Blank

One week and a half later

  "Chérie?" Lucifer yells as he sits in front of the TV for the first time in months.

  There's no response but soft music from the terrace.

  "Ellie?"

  Again, nothing.

  "ELEANOR." His voice booms like a speaker throughout the manor.

  "WHAT?" She storms in from the balcony with a guitar pick in her mouth.

  "Look at the TV." He points to the screen beside her. She takes a few steps back before seeing a big headline across the screen.

*HEAVEN'S ANGEL TURNS HELL'S HEADS, LEAVING DEMONS IN AWE*

  "Oh, what the fuck is this?" She pulls the guitar pick out of her mouth and crosses her arms.

  "I don't know, it just came on in the middle of my show," Lucifer shrugs. "He's saying how much the radio demon sucks and how you'd 'solo' him easily."

  "WHAT? That's probably not true and now Alastor is gonna kick my ass." Ellie sighs and walks over to the chair next to Lucifer's.

  "You're not gonna die, you can handle yourself. I believe in you! And you know that's true because if I didn't, I would've said I could take care of him for you." He places a hand on her knee.  

  "Feel free to kill Vox and rip the cords out of his stupid-"

  "Okay, we can fix this. It's just media, no one takes it seriously anyway." He tries.

  "Wait! He hates TV, maybe he hasn't seen it yet. I'm going to the hotel to gauge how pissed he is," She smiles, grabbing her bag off of the sofa. "Wanna come with? You can, I don't know, see your daughter."

  "Oh! Um...I don't know if she'd want to see me. I don't want to show up uninvited. I can portal you there though." He says awkwardly.

  "Nah, I like walking. But anyway, I show up uninvited all the time, I'm sure they won't mind a quick visit from the King of Hell. Just put your shoes on really quick and we can just stop by and I'll clear the air before Alastor can k-"

  "No, Ellie, I said no. I'm not going." He snaps.

  "Fine, don't go then, no need to make it a big deal. Keep isolating if you want, I can't force you to do anything." She puts her hands up before putting her sunglasses on.

  "Ellie, I'm-"

  "I'm out, I'll probably be back later." She waves before opening the door and then closing it behind her.

  "Stupid, stupid, stupid." Lucifer leans his head back on the couch.

  Then he remembers her guitar is out on the balcony. He sighs before standing up and stretching out his limbs. He reaches to grab the remote and turn off the TV before he makes his way out there. It's surprisingly peaceful outside. He can see why she was playing out here. What he would give to see the world through her eyes for a day, her delicate point of view.

  There's a small cup of coffee that has one sip left, a notebook with a pen, and the guitar case out there where the guitar was lazily placed as she was running inside. The coffee is in the mug she was so excited to bring home yesterday that says 'My Girlfriend's Hotter Than Yours' in hot pink letters.

  He leans down to close the guitar case when he notices that she has a few small pictures taped inside. Some random celebrities he has no clue about and a few from the hotel with people he doesn't know. But there's one at the center of them all, slightly bigger than the rest. It's a picture of him and her standing a few feet away from the camera where their full bodies are in frame. She's giving two big thumbs up with her arms fully out to the camera with a wide smile as he just awkwardly stands and smiles beside her with one thumbs up.
