Auburn Clouds : Y/N X Lucifer Magne (Hazbin Hotel)

Curses! Angst Again

AN: for xEnbyx, because they sent me a billion notifs on a bunch of chapters and reminded me this story exists lol

Lucifer's POV

"Y/N. Just shh and let me help you to your room! I didn't curse you!" I shushed them quietly as we made our way up the stairs.

"You did! I bet you did!" They chuckled sleepily.

I sighed softly as I unlocked the door to their room.

"I promise you I didn't Y/N. Don't you trust me?" I spoke softly as we walked to their bed.

"Of course I trust you." They paused and looked at me as I helped them sit.

"I wasn't sure If I should have, when I first met you, but I think I do now." Y/N finished. 

"I tried really hard not to trust you actually. I didn't want to at first." They spoke again after a moment of silence.

"I understand your wariness. It would have been an idiotic lapse in judgement on your part if you hadn't questioned me at all." I laughed nervously, taken aback by their statement, but not completely unsurprised that they had been afraid.

"You have a pretty intense reputation." They looked up at me softly, I sat on the bed next to where I had just helped them lay down.

"I know, I do.. Thank you for being friends with me anyway, and not being afraid." I patted their head gently as I thanked them quietly.

"And to thank me you curse me?" They giggled again, shifting their head into my touch.

"I didn't!"

We bickered back and forth about curses. I found it amusing but a little hurtful that they didn't seem to want to drop it. I didn't know where they may be going with the conversation topic, but I really hoped that they didn't really think that low of me.

"You know, people used to say I was cursed," Y/N muttered after a brief moment of sitting. I had been petting their head gently, pausing when they spoke. 

"No, I didn't know that. Why would they say those things?" I inquired further, wondering how much they would say.

"I dont know.. just people are cruel sometimes I guess." They sighed softly.

"Why would they say those kinds of things? I don't mean to pry but I'm listening if you're willing." I continued to pet their head.

"No, It's ok. Dosen't matter anymore, no need to trouble you." Y/N said a bit sadly, as if they were mentally scolding themself for opening up.

"Hey, It's no trouble. I've cried on you before haven't I? That would've been way more bothersome than you simply talking to me! Though, if you need to cry, you have my shoulder."

I looked down at them with a concerned look on my face. I saw the tears brimming in their eyes.

I wanted to cry myself.

Y/N POV

He sat there so sweetly. Comforting me like I had done for him before. I hadn't been so sweetly touched in a while, and I couldn't help the tears from forming.

I didn't want to look at him, but I didn't want him to go either.

"I, I don't know why they said those things." I whispered with a shaky breath.

"I knew why they thought them, but I don't know why they would voice such mean thoughts."

He continued to sit in silence, letting me speak as slowly as I needed to. 

"You don't have to keep talking if you don't want to." He spoke a few minutes after I froze.

"y-yeah. I'd rather not ruin the good day. another time maybe." I sighed deeply again, relieved he gave me an out. 

"Of course, it's probably better for you to sleep right now anyway." 

He shifted his weight, beginning to stand when I reached for his hand.

"Please stay.." I asked him quietly.

He nodded, walking around to the other side of the bed to lie down next to me.

We sat in silence for a few moments, staring at my ceiling.
