Since I had nothing better to do I spent the next couple hours trying to get to know Lucifer. Well he told me to call him Dominic so I could get used to his vessel but it sort of felt weird. It was moreso humanizing him and it seemed off to me. Nevertheless I called him what he wanted to be called and tried to get comfortable with my situation. It wasn't hard, not really. I had everything I had needed so far, which was mainly just my music and some place to sit. The black couches weren't hard or unstable like they looked and I was thankful for that. I sat and listened to Lucifer go on and on about something until my stomach growled and he stopped.

"What was that?"

I looked at him with wide eyes.

"Uh..."

"Do you have a hell hound in there or something?"

I cracked a smile and laughed a little.

"No, I'm just hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

I stood and looked down at him.

"I haven't the slightest idea."

"Great."

I patted my legs lightly and walked out of the parlor, down the hall, and into the kitchen. A small fridge came into view and I was beyond excited to see it but my smile faded when I opened it only to find it empty. I turned around to see Dominic leaned against the kitchen door frame smirking at me.

"I thought you said you were hungry."

I slammed the door shut and crossed my arms.

"It's empty."

Suddenly there was a knock on the front door and the two of us looked at each other with curious expressions. Then there was another knock, I pushed past Dom as fast as I could and ran to the door. I swung it open quickly and was met with a brown paper bag, I tried to reach for it with hesitation. Luckily I was not shocked like Dominic said I would be. I pulled it back and sat with the door still open and began chowing down on the hot burger and fries. It was like heaven given I hadn't eaten in the five hours I had been there, and then some.

I sat on one stair of the spiral staircase and watched Dominic pace the small, otherwise empty, room. He had been throwing out ideas of what his final test could be. So far neither of us had any clue.

"What about true love?"

He scoffed and glared at me.

"Do you really think God would be testing me over some silly human concept?"

I shrugged and hugged my knees. His face fell and he walked over to me, touching my arm through the bars on the railing. I turned my head to look at me.

"It was a good thought, y/n, really, but I don't think the maker of the world would be testing his son on something so simple."

I shrugged his hand off me and stood up.

"Whatever, some people don't think it's so simple."

I stepped completely down the stairs and walked down the opposing hall and into the vanity room. Dom didn't follow me which I was thankful for. I just wanted to sit by myself for once since I'd been here. I looked at my longing face in the mirror and rested my head on the vanity in front of me.

When I woke up I wasn't in the same room. I had been moved to a bedroom, presumably upstairs. I laid alone in a queen sized bed, it was the only piece of furniture in the small room. I pushed the crimson comforter off my body and swung my bare legs over the side of the bed. I was still fully clothed, right down to my shoes. I smoothed my skirt and Opened the door to see Dominic wandering down the hall. when he turned to pace back he looked at me and smiled. Walking quickly he approached and grabbed my hand.

"Good youre awake. I was thinking some more about what you said and why you would be here."

I raised an eyebrow at him.

"What do you mean exactly?"

He patted my hand with his.

"Well my dear I'm glad you asked. You see I have known you since your conception-"

"Eww."

He scrunched his face at me.

"You weren't born of true love which piqued my interest."

I glared at him. Rude.

"I have been watching you since you were born, being your guardian angel and guiding your decisions. Not necessarily tempting ones like the stories you heard in church as kid, but just little things to help you."

"Thanks?"

"You're quite welcome."

"But how does that have to do with what I said earlier?"

"That's the thing! Maybe the test is trying to get you to love me back!"

I pulled my hand from his and stepped back a bit. I looked at him in almost horror at his realization.

"I really don't think God would try to-"

He placed a finger to my lips.

"It was just a thought. Now I know it is a silly human concept and the only reason I would I say I love you is because I've developed an appreciation for you after all this time. I don't want you getting the wrong idea or anything y/n."

I crossed my arms over my chest and slouched back on my heel.

"Well you let me know if you actually figure out what your test is Dom."

I patted his shoulder as I stepped past him and made my way downstairs.
