~The devil's comfort~ Lucifer x !Depressed! Reader

The grandeur of Hell's palace was both overwhelming and isolating. As you wandered its vast halls, the weight of your own thoughts pressed down on you, making each step feel like a monumental effort. The relentless torment of your own mind had driven you to seek solitude, but even here, among the opulence and power, you found no escape from your depression.

You sank onto a velvet chaise in one of the lesser-used rooms, staring blankly at the intricate patterns on the ceiling. Your chest felt heavy, your mind clouded with a sorrow that seemed to have no end. It was in these moments, when you felt most alone, that the shadows of despair crept in the deepest.

"Quite the sight, isn't it?" a smooth, commanding voice echoed through the room, breaking your bleak reverie.

You looked up to see Lucifer, the Morningstar himself, leaning casually against the doorframe. His presence was commanding, yet there was a surprising gentleness in his eyes as he regarded you. You quickly wiped at your eyes, trying to hide the evidence of your tears.

"What do you want?" you asked, your voice barely above a whisper.

Lucifer approached, his steps measured and deliberate. "I was passing by and couldn't help but notice your... predicament," he said, taking a seat opposite you. "The burdens of the heart are often heavier than any physical weight."

You turned your gaze away, feeling a mix of shame and frustration. "I don't need pity from you," you muttered.

Lucifer chuckled softly. "Pity? No, I don't pity you. I understand you. There's a difference."

Surprised by his words, you glanced back at him. "Understand me? How could you possibly understand?"

His expression softened, and for a moment, you saw a flicker of something ancient and weary in his eyes. "I am the ruler of Hell, the fallen angel. Do you think I don't know what it feels like to carry the weight of despair? To be consumed by darkness?"

His words hung in the air, resonating with a truth you hadn't expected to hear. Slowly, you nodded, acknowledging his perspective. "I guess... I hadn't thought of it that way."

Lucifer leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. "Tell me, what troubles you so deeply that even the comforts of this palace cannot soothe your soul?"

You hesitated, unsure if you could find the words to describe the tumult within you. But something in Lucifer's gaze urged you to try. "It's like... there's this emptiness inside me. No matter what I do, it never goes away. I feel lost, and I don't know how to find my way back."

Lucifer listened intently, his eyes never leaving yours. When you finished, he nodded thoughtfully. "The darkness you feel is real, but it does not define you. You are more than your sorrow, more than the weight you carry."

A tear slipped down your cheek, and you quickly brushed it away. "I don't know how to believe that."

Lucifer reached out, gently taking your hand in his. His touch was surprisingly warm, a stark contrast to the coldness you felt inside. "Then let me help you," he said softly. "Let me show you that even in the depths of Hell, there can be light."

You looked at him, searching his face for any sign of deceit. But all you saw was sincerity and a deep, unspoken understanding. Slowly, you nodded, allowing yourself to trust in his words.

Lucifer smiled, a genuine, comforting smile that seemed to chase away some of the shadows in your heart. "Good," he said, giving your hand a reassuring squeeze. "We'll take it one step at a time, together."

In that moment, you felt a flicker of hope, a small but significant light in the darkness. With Lucifer by your side, you dared to believe that maybe, just maybe, you could find your way out of the abyss.

And as you sat there, hand in hand with the ruler of Hell, you realized that even the darkest places could offer solace, and that sometimes, comfort came from the most unexpected sources.
