Everyone was filled with questions when (y/n) didn't die in Mammon's arms, even more questions came with the news that their favorite human was actually a descendant of their deceased sister Lilith. Asmodeus was excited how it made sense (y/n) using Solomon's ring that he could be summoned in demon form, a feat even Solomon couldn't do. Everyone fought over the chance to hug their human, all surprised and excited.. everyone except Lucifer.

At first you thought maybe he was too prideful to fight with his brothers over a hug. Also out of them all, Lucifer was the only one that's ever seen you vulnerable when you got word a family member passed away during your year abroad. He was the only one you've ever kissed. Only one you ever loved. He was your one and only.
Once everyone was done poking at you and asking hundreds of questions, Lucifer slipped away to his study, clearly something was on his mind.
It took days before you felt like you had a free moment from the guys, and during those past few days Lucifer was rarely if ever in the same room as you.
Does he feel weird because my lineage? You asked yourself, hurting your own feelings thinking perhaps he no longer felt anything for you. These thoughts plagued your mind for days, only getting worse as time passed.
Another evening you poke your dinner around the plate, glancing at the door multiple times hoping he would step in.
Beelzebub unexpectedly was first to notice something was wrong, seeing you still hadn't taken a single bite. Trying to not bring attention he leaning over towards you in hushed tone, trying to catch your attention. "(Y/n)... (y/n)...."
After two attempts he poked your shoulder, which made you snap into an upright position and look around to see who was trying to speak to you. Unintentionally you also caught the attention of Asmodeus and Belphegor.
"Goodness being that out of it you must've gotten lost in my perfection." Asmodeus teased, flashing his usual amused smile.
You smirked a little, not sure if you should even attempt answering him.
Beelzebub shook his head seeing that Asmodeus hasn't noticed the issue. "What's wrong (y/n)? Is something wrong with the food?" Beelz looked genuinely concerned, he wasn't even trying to talk you out of your food.
"N-no.." you stammered trying to find a answer. "It looks good, just not too hungry."
Beelz looked dejected knowing he wasn't going to get an honest answer without causing a scene. Instead he accepted the answer he got. "Can I have your food then?"
You nodded, not noticing that during the whole exchange with Beelz, Asmo was watching you intently. He clapped his hands excitedly as he realized what was going on. "Someone misses Lucifer!" He exclaimed, not at all being as discreet as Beelz was.
Your face brightened in both embarrassment and frustration. "I do not!" You yelped, the change in your voice giving away that you really did.
Belphagor looked away in disgust. "I was enjoying his absence."
"So was I! Always yelling at me and treating me like a bad guy!" Mammon added in. "Plus if (y/n) is going to miss anyone it'd be me!"
Satan and Leviathan both started laughing at Mammon.
"If she were to miss anyone it wouldn't be you!" Levi threw his words at Mammon like a weapon, causing a laugh from Belphegor.
Satan joined Leviathan right after. "I'd miss Lucifer sooner than I'd miss you."
The whole dining room then erupted in insults being thrown at each other. Only ones not involved were you whom slipped out during the madness, and Beelz who used the distraction as a chance to eat everyone's food.
For a while you wondered the halls aimlessly and eventually found yourself at Lucifers bedroom door. Apparently your heart was telling your feet where to go instead of your brain. Sighing, you knew it was better to just get it over with. If he was done with you and moved on, was better to find out sooner.
Hesitating before knocking, your hand was a inch from the door and you just couldn't bring yourself to do it. Putting your arm back by your side you decide you should sleep on it. Stepping back and turning away you hear the door open.
"(Y/n)? Did you need something?" Lucifer asked, stopping you in your tracks.
Your hands tighten into fists for a moment before releasing again. You took a breath to ease yourself before turning to face him. "N-no.. I'm good. I'm going to bed." You quickly turned on your heels and got out of the hall and to your room before he could ask anything else.
Once in your room you locked the door then collapsed on the bed. "That was so stupid of me!" You groan at yourself before rolling over to face the wall.
"Yeah it was." You hear muffled through the door. Without even needing to guess you knew it was Lucifer, probably wondering why you were acting so weird. "Mind letting me in (y/n)? Unless you want everyone to hear our conversation."
You groaned again, he made a good point, locking him out would just cause more embarrassment for you.
Letting him in, you sit back down on your bed and watch him as he chooses a seat near the door.
The air was awkward for a moment between you two, Lucifer giving you a chance to instigate the conversation but it quickly became apparent to him that you didn't want to. He crossed his arms and decided it was time he said something. "You wanted to say something, why did you come to my room?" His tone cold as always, feeling almost like a ice shard in the heart.
Your fists balling up again, you look away from him. "You've been avoiding me haven't you? Ever since finding out I'm related to Lilith you have been anywhere else but where I am." The words felt like poison leaving your mouth, but it was time to face him, you had no choice.
You couldn't see it but Lucifers eyes widened in surprise, he was so buried in work that he didn't realize. "(Y/n).. I haven't been avoiding you on purpose. I have been looking into personal matters."
You couldn't help but get mad at his generic answer, "What do you mean "personal matters"?" Your voice raising a bit.
Lucifer stood and quickly filled the gap between you two. He was clearly not happy with you raising your tone at him. "Perhaps I should reconsider looking into ways to awaken your soul. You could stay a weak human then!" He grabbed onto the sides of your face and tilted your face up to meet his gaze. His demeanor softened when he saw the tears threatening to fall.
"What do you mean?" You asked in such a low whisper that it almost wasn't audible.
Lucifer seeing how you felt he pulled you into a hug as he explained. "I am sure you have a angel soul but a human body. If we can awaken your soul to its full potential, it could make you ageless."
Still in his hug you pondered these words before repeating the one that caught your attention back to him. "Ageless?"
"Ageless," He nodded as though confirming what you asked. "Humans are weak and die fast. I was wanting to change that so you could stay forever with me."
You inhaled sharply at those last few words. This whole time you thought he was avoiding you but really he was trying to... save you from mortality?
Looking up at him, he was looking at you expectantly. "I... I would love that idea."
At these words he brought his face to yours to kiss you. It was a rough kiss but passionate, one filled with determination and expectations for the future.

End note
This is actually the first short story of any kind that I've written in years, and I'm pretty out of practice. Editing this multiple times over a week, I'm just now becoming somewhat comfortable with the outcome. Personally writing for Lucifer isn't high on my list of ideas. I only started with him since he's oldest. I'm not saying I don't like him in the game as much as I don't like who he has evolved into amongst the fandom. I've noticed a lot of stories have made him uncomfortably abusive in my opinion, but that's also a little ironic considering my best piece ever written in my life was also most violent. Perhaps I just can't get much into his headspace. Please expect better from me in the future.
