Did It Hurt When You Fell?

{•Chapter 1•}

{•Authors Note: So I felt super nostalgic and decided to revisit the webcomic, and boy oh boy did I get obsessed again. By the way if you think you remember me from some-. Older fanfictions of this webcomic, shut up no you don't. I'm fully distancing myself from my cringe-hypersexual very uncomfortable past so for my sake zip it. Uh-. New year new me and all of that bullshit. That being said, enjoy!•}

For centuries, Lucifer has always felt-. Out of place, in a weird sense. Like a puzzle piece that couldn't quite fit into the full picture, or a black sheep amongst his herd, if you will. Whatever metaphor you'd like to use. Something that could never truly-. Belong, anywhere. And for a long while, Lucifer accepted this cruel fact within himself, hell the dark prince even saw this as an opportunity to better himself. To climb up the ranks, to outsmart everyone. To change those hateful and judgemental glares of his fellow peers into ones of excitement and astonishment. To prove to everyone in heaven  he wasn't as worthless as some of the other ark angels claimed him to be. He saw being different from his peers as his very own magnum opus.

That was, until-.

It wasn't.

We all know the saying by now, don't fly to close to the sun. Well, Lucifer did just that. He tried so hard to rebel, and question the ways of his creator and caretaker. To the point where it threatened every ones way of life itself, and look where it landed him. His body covered with jaggered cuts and bruises as he laid motionless on the hard ground below him.

And on that fateful and dreaded day, something inside of Lucifer just. . .Shattered, and he realized if the world wasn't going to adore him for who he was, he'd make them all fear him instead.

And that pitiful sorrow that surrounded his broken heart, it manifested itself into one of, if not the most strongest emotions a person could harbor in their tormented little souls.

Deeper than hope.

More passionate than love itself.

Hate.

And Lucifer-? He hated hard. . .He hated like no other creature on this pitiful planet has ever hated anything before, his resentment, his rage for his creator, and how everything around him failed him. It turned him into the one thing he swore not to be, a monster.

Years upon years, Lucifer pledged his vengeance on heaven, years upon years Lucifer plotted that one day he would see everything that God had worked on crumble right before him.

The envy and evil he felt, it damn near took over his entire life.

That was until, one faithful day that is. His creator, his f-. His caregiver. He reached out. And, he apologized? He actually apologized. He took knowledge of all of the heartache he caused one of his favorite sons to endure for hundreds upon thousands of years. He wanted to better himself, not only for his own sake, but for Lucifer as well. He didn't want them to be rivals anymore, he wanted them to be equals.

And in a way-.

That's all it really took. And that's all Lucifer ever wanted to hear. An apology.

" Sir-. SIR WAKE UP! Are you even paying attention right now?! " Ebag scolded, shoving his blueprints straight into Lucifers face as the ruler of hell squirmed on his throne in discomfort, his eyes now fully readjusting. " Ugh-. Damn it, yeah. Sorry Ebag spaced out for a second there. What we're you saying again? " Lucifer sheepishly asked as Ebag groaned in annoyance, forcefully snatching the blueprint right out of his friends hands.

" Hmph, no matter my companion, I'll just have to explain it in excruciating detail! For the tenth time no less! OKAY, so you know how we're getting a whole flood of cannibals in hell recently, well I had this amazing idea for a new circle! " Ebag hummed, excitedly going back to his drawing board as Lucifer just watched over him fondly. He always enjoyed hearing his friend ramble about-. Well, anything honestly. His newest invention, his favorite movie, call him cheesy but he really did care about the little psychopath.

" -.AND AFTER WE POISONED THEM, WE MAKE THEM CUT OFF AND EAT EACH OTHERS SEVERED LIMBS UNTIL THEY FIND THE ANTIDOTE! Which doesn't even worked! Hahaha-!!! So, how does that sound? What do you think sir! " Ebag asked, an odd-. Crazed look in his eyes that Lucifer knew far to well as he excitedly waited for Lucifers response as Lucifer himself just gave him a horrified but amused look.

" I think I should stop letting you rent out Saw movies for a month that's what I think. " Lucifer deadpanned earning an annoyed groan from the other. " Come on-! You always dismiss some of my BEST IDEAS! You used to be so hardcore! Your old ideas would put mine to shame! Now your a-. A watered-down pansy, yeah! Yeah that's what you are! " Ebag huffed, crossing his arms as Lucifer rolled his eyes, a bit offended at the accusation that he did in fact, "lose his touch".

" Tsk! What rubbish! I-. I still got it! I am the Prince of Darkness after all! Don't underestimate me so quickly, my friend. Here, I'll share with you an idea of my own, come closer. " Lucifer shot back, motioning Ebag towards him as the other skeptically applied to his wishes.

" Okay okay-! So bossy. Alright this better be good your "highness". Or I swear to-. T-To-. . .Oh my, oh goodness-! " Ebag said, his eyes going wide in shock and amazement as Lucifer explained his plan in his ear, also in excruciating detail. " WHY SIR T-THATS THE MOST VILE-. THE MOST GRUESOMELY SICK AND TWISTED-. I HAVE NO WORDS-!!! You truly are a master of your work sir! Forgive me for underestimating you! "

" Yeah yeah I know I'm incredible, please please save your praises-! Well, okay maybe just a bit more praise would be nice, go on tell me how much of a great leader I am like you always do. " Lucifer teased, smugly looking down at Ebag. " Don't push your luck, I GOTTA GO TEST OUT YOUR IDEA IN MY LAB! I'll see you Lulu! " Ebag happily exclaimed, patting Lucifers head like some sort of house pet before running off to God only knows where to cause some chaos that the demon would have to pick up later. In the mean time, Lucifer was left alone with his thoughts.

" Finally, I can relax. . .No idiotic damned crying for mercy, no Ebag blowing up the place, and no Imps starting another mutiny! Just pure. . .Silence. . . " Lucfier hummed, stretching his arms slightly as he began to rest his eyes. " Oh yes, this is the life-. "

" Uh-. Sorry if im interrupting your nap Lucy but uhm. . .You had an appointment an hour ago and I have a waiting list, SOOOO-. . .If you could kindly get off your ass and follow me that'd be nice. " A familiar voice ran through his ear as Lucifer smirked playfully, though far from happy that Riley had Interrupted what would have been an incredible nap.

Hmph, looks like he spoke to soon in terms of having a peaceful afternoon. Well-. Not that he's complaining all that much.
