The Candle | Hazbin Hotel

033

Lucifer left the room to let me get ready, as for my request. I am keen on absolutely blowing his brains out with my appearance. Not literally. I just really want to surprise him and look good.

So naturally an everything shower was due. I ended up wearing a light purple dress that was hugging my chest, creating a nice silhouette due to the corset on the back. It was long to my mid calf and silky, the material thick and I have no idea where I got this dress.

For jewelry, I wore a simple string of pearls and matching earrings. I brought a white clutch purse along too that was embroidered with purple hydrangeas.

My hair was down and messy like usual, but I still felt beautiful. Simple eyeliner, highlighter and lipgloss and I was basically perfect.

Lucifer texted me to let me know he was waiting for me in the lobby. At this point we weren't even trying to be subtle about us dating. I don't think Lucifer got the chance to tell Charlie...

It's probably better that we both tell her then.

I sprayed perfume and glanced at myself in the mirror before leaving my room. Once I reached the stairs to the lobby I realized this would be a small cliché.

Lucifer looked up the stairs upon sensing me. Stars practically in his eyes upon notice. Charlie walked over to where he stood and patted his back with a small, awkward smile. Did they talk about it? She walked off soon after. He barely noticed when I finally stood in front of him. I let out a fake cough.

Lucifer physically shook himself out of it. "O-oh hi! You look beautiful, Juni." He pulled my left hand to his face and placed a kiss on the back of it.

I blushed and looked away. "Of course I do, Luci. You're um, very handsome..."

A distant snort came from the bar. Husk. When did he come back? I rolled my eyes and looked back at Lucifer.

His outfit was very simple but it made him look hot all the same. Black dress pants and a white silk button up. I noticed he had some silver rings on his hands and a necklace with a flower or shrub, I'm not quite sure what it was.

Simple, but effective was his aesthetic. At the same time though, he was absolutely glowing.

"Shall we, m'lady?" He bowed, I snorted and took his hand as we made our way to the door.

"Of course, my lord."

"How... cute," Lilith walked in front of us before we could get out. Lucifer glared because his admiring was interrupted.

"Thank you," I answered stonily. Lucifer had a blank look on his face.

"Now, where will you two be off to?" She leaned to our height with a smile.

Lucifer sighed and punched the bridge of his nose. "We're going on a date," he left no room for the conversation to continue.

"Why do you want to know?" I couldn't help but ask.

She rolled her eyes but tried to make it seem playful. "Just wondering, you know, I just want to... know what's best. That's all!"

Lucifer's eyes flashed red but he was interrupted by Angel. When did he come back?? "Lilith! Would you like to get to know us? we're starting a new round of cards against humanity, we don't wanna leave you out!"

"Yeah mom! It'll be a fun bonding experience! I haven't seen you in a long time and this could be fun!"

Lilith wore a grimace for a second before it turned to a smile. She stood tall and turned to them. "Of course! And how I've missed you so, my dear!"

Over at the couches; Husk, Angel, Nifty, Dia, Vaggie and Charlie were sitting on the ground with cards in the middle. Something they definitely weren't doing before Lilith showed up.

Before she approached us they were hanging out at the bar. I'll have to thank them for distracting Lilith.

Lucifer and I left quickly after that.

-

The Devils Macabre. A warm and fancy restaurant. Not super high end, but comfortable and elegant. Classy is the word.

Lucifer and I got sat in our seats, behind a private sheer curtain.

The place was lit by candles and warm lights. Lucifer looked so beautiful.

"What drink can I get you guys started with today?" A pretty waitress came from a side door I did not notice.

Lucifer motioned for me to speak first but I shook my head. He frowned but answered. "Any wine."

The waitress nodded awkwardly and turned to me. "Do you guys have apple juice?" Lucifer's mouth quirked up into a smile.

"Yes, would you like apple juice?"

"Yes please."

"Alright, I'll give you guys a couple minutes to decide on what you want."

We both nodded and she walked away. Lucifer giggled slightly afterwards.

"Don't laugh at me, I don't like drinking!"

"Honestly me neither... I just thought it'd make me look cooler," Lucifer admitted with a slightly strained smile. Suddenly not giggling anymore.

I'll have to ask him about that later tonight.

"We can ask her for more apple juice when she comes back around.." I put my hand on his from across the table.

"Speaking of, they have mozzarella sticks here and I'm totally gonna order a large of that for the appetizer. Oh and don't worry about paying, I got it!" Lucifer rambled nervously.

"Would you be grossed out if I also got a large mozzarella stick order?"

His face suddenly turned baffled. "Why would I be grossed out? Mozzarella sticks are literally like the best food ever. I think for my main course thing though I'm gonna get like a salad or steak I'm not sure."

My mouth watered at the idea of food. "All of those options sounds amazing. I think I'm going to get the chicken alfredo I'm not sure yet though."

"That also sounds good, my golly I'm not gonna be able to decide what to eat. This is a catastrophic disaster!" Lucifer overdramatized.

I leaned my head on the hand that wasn't holding his, watching him ramble about food in pure adoration.

A/N: idk if you could tell but I was so freaking hungry while writing this

Also, the next chapter will feature Juniper and Lucifer getting to actually know each other and taking their relationship slow so it has more depth. I feel like how I've written this so far it just seems like they like each other based on situation and appearance so next chapter they're gonna be more deep! It might be a little boring to read but I feel like it's necessary.

Ideas for future chapters are appreciated!
