25. Somebody to Love

A/N: i am officially back from france!!! this chapter has been living in my notes app for almost two weeks while i've been trying and failing to work on it on planes, trains, and automobiles all over paris, strasbourg, and lyon but it is finally yours!!! enjoy :)

"So, where are we headed this trip?" Lucifer asks, standing beside Ellie in her kitchen.

"My beach house. I feel like if I don't go to the beach right now, I'm gonna die." She tells him.

"Okay! Let's not waste any time then." He smiles, gesturing to the crystal that now resides as a necklace.

She holds it in her hands and immediately, a portal opens up. The sound of waves crashing immediately fills the area. A big smile takes over her face and she doesn't need another second to kick off her shoes and run through the portal.

She looks pretty much just like herself when she does except with no wings. Since she's the only angel who's ever seen real sun before, she blends in as it is. Lucifer follows happily as her white sundress moves behind her as she runs. She looks so happy as she does especially when she reaches the water. She lets the waves crash against her feet as she shuts her eyes and tilts her head up.

The sun is setting in Malibu, the color of the sky a beautiful orange. The smell of the saltwater and the sound of the waves soothes her unbelievably. It's as if nothing is wrong and nothing ever has been. Lucifer stands behind her for a moment, admiring everything about her.

The way her skin looks with the sun on it, the way her hair moves so perfectly. He's never seen another person look so perfect and so enchanting.

"Thank you." She breathes out as she opens her eyes again to turn to him.

"No, thank you. You deserve this, you deserve more than this. You, Ellie, deserve everything I could possibly give you." He tells her and she notices how different he looks.

He's not a snake, that's for sure. But he's slightly more tanned with normal teeth. But he still has that perfect blonde hair she loves so much.

"Seeing that look on your face...I'd do anything to keep you this happy." He tells her, turning his attention to her.

"Come here," She opens her arms and he doesn't hesitate to go to her. "I love the ocean."

He wants to say that he loves her, that he'd sacrifice everything to be here with her. But instead, he just holds her close. The sea breeze and her warm skin comfort him more than anything ever has. He leans in to kiss her. He kisses her so softly and so deeply at the same time that he melts into her so easily.

Things always feel so simple with her. Like he doesn't have to try to be anything other than what he is. He wants to be honest with her and make her happy so he goes out of his way to do that but it makes him happy too. Seeing her smile and being together like this makes his heart glow.

"My house is up there." She points to this beautiful house on the top of a rocky mountain with a perfect view of the ocean.

"We should go inside it." He whispers against her lips.

"Okay," She smiles, instantly forgetting about all of her problems. Almost all of them. All she can focus on at this moment is the smell and sound of the ocean and how his blonde hair moves in the wind with the sun browning his skin perfectly.

He turns around to look at her, she's asleep so peacefully. He can see her breathing with her chest rising and falling. Her face is so cutely squished into the pillow. Her hair is laid out flat and still somehow looks perfect even after everything. It's moved perfectly to show off her beautiful neck, shoulders, and those collarbones of hers he can't seem to shy away from.
