Demons & Dynasty

Chapter 16

I was lying in my bed, staring at the ceiling, still freaking the fuck out about what happened with Asmodeus last Wednesday. I had taken the tablets Asmo gave me straight away, hoping beyond all hell that they worked. And now here I am, lying on my bed on a Saturday morning, staring at the ceiling willing my period to come. I'd spent the whole week at RAD, learning more laws and regulations, learning how to be a queen, but my 'little session' with Asmo had my mind flicking back and forward between 'holy fuck what if I'm pregnant?' and 'can I still be queen if I kill Asmo?'. I wasn't too worried, I'm sure the medicine would kick in and in the meanwhile I'd ordered a couple of pregnancy tests to calm my nerves.

I rolled myself out of my bed, pulled on some fluffy socks and a dressing gown and shuffled down to breakfast. As per usual Lucifer had been up since 5:30 and everyone else was waking up about now, 9:00, in time for food. I made my way into the dining room, plonking myself down in 'my' chair. Everyone had 'their' spots, their own place.

At that moment, an extremely cheerful Lucifer waltzed in, carrying a tray donned with a stack of crepes with strawberries and cream, whistling. Whistling?? Lucifer, the strict, some-may-say-up-himself Avatar of Pride was whistling. I looked up at him with shocked, wide eyes. "U-um, Lucifer, are you okay?"
"Why yes Y/N!" He sounded way too enthusiastic for a man who had gotten up at 5:30 on a Saturday morning, "I'm very well thank you, oh here these are for you darling~". Lucifer placed the tray of crepes down in front of me, his face a pale red, smiling like crazy.
"Oh u-um thank you Lucifer..." I spoke timidly, rather confused by the Lucifer situation this morning. And 'darling'?!? He actually called me darling. What the hell? "These crepes do look gorgeous, but L-lucifer what is up with you this morning? Making me breakfast, whistling, calling me 'darling'?!?"
Lucifer's eyes began to well up with tears. Now I knew there was something up. "Lucifer please tell me what's wrong!" I pleaded, standing up and resting my hand on top of his. With my simple touch, his tears began running heavily down his cheeks and he pulled me into a tight hug. I gasped at the sudden embrace, "Y-Y/N I just l-love you so m-much!" Lucifer was sobbing and I could feel his tears soaking through my pyjamas. What. The. Actual. Hell? "You're so special to me Y/N, never leave me!" I was so shocked and sooo confused.
"I-i love you too Lucifer... what's brought this on?" I ran my thumb along his cheek, wiping his tears.
"I-i...don't...know" he heaved. I looked into his sad eyes and couldn't stop myself, I cupped his other cheek with my other hand and drew him into a kiss, not lustful but full if love and care. And then I heard it. The sniggering and giggles. I broke the kiss and swung my head round to the doorway where Asmodeus, Satan and Solomon where bend double laughing like mad men.
"What in the name of the dEvIlDoM have you guys done to Lucifer?" I demanded, stomping over to them, my crepes growing cold.
"Awww c'mon Y/N~ we're just having some funnn!" Asmo whined at me.
"Yeah, I mean look at him! It's Hil-air-ee-ous!" Satan seemed as though he had never seen anything so funny.
"If it's bothering you that much Y/N, it's just a simple charm I can turn it off as easily as turning of a light switch" Solomon piped up.
"Turn him back, now." I spoke plainly, hoping the three of the would get the message, turned on my heel, picked up my crepes, and headed back to my room.

I looked up at my watch - 11:30. I'd eaten my crepes and spent the rest of the time on my DDD. I was beginning to see the funny side of this mornings events but at the same time I was still embarrassed. Swinging my legs off the edge of my bed I began compartmentalising my tasks for the day. I had some notes to write up and some other school stuff to get done but once again my mind was wandering. Come on Y/N snap out of it, get your work dome and you'll feel better! I thought to myself. I walked over to my desk tidying it up a bit and pulling out my notepad. Here we go again Y/N. I just put my pen to paper when there was a knock at the door. Strange, I thought, they never knock. "Uh, come on in!" I called, putting my pen down.
"Oh, uh, hey Y/N, I uh, just wanted to apologise for earlier. I didn't mean to embarrass you, you know you mean the world to me." His voice trailed off as I turned to face him. Satan.
"Oh, Satan it's okay. I see now that it was just a joke, I just didn't find it funny in the moment." His face smoothed and his shoulders dropped, as if I'd lifted a weight.
"C-can I sit with you Y/N? We haven't hung out in ages and, uh, I guess I miss you.."
My heart quivered. I hear 'I love you' quite a bit now from all seven of the brothers, but 'I miss you' hits different. It lets you know that they're actually thinking of you and wishing you were there with them. I had been so preoccupied with everything recently, spending time with the other brothers and all my new work at RAD that I'd left Satan out, my best friend.
"Satan, oh of course you can sit with me, I'm so sorry for leaving you out recently. I've just been so preoccupied- I miss you too Satan." I stood up from my desk chair, and wrapped my arms around his waist. "I really have missed you Satan. And, I think I have something you can help me with, if you're up for it..."
"Anything for you, Y/N."
