Redemption | Lucifer x Reader
This is mostly fluff and angst so far, but there's a chance i'll write a part 2 with some possibly smuttier stuff goin on 🥴
Heads up, Lucifer's a god damn mess in this one. Love to see my boy suffer, though.
♡♡♡
"Sure, whatever. You got the job." Lucifer let's out an exhausted sigh, pushing himself away from his desk and immediately pulling a stack of papers into his hands before beginning to walk off.
You lift up your finger as if to add something to this one-sided conversation, but nothing seems to come out. You shake your head and pull away from the same desk, where you were seated across from the king of Hell.
"O-Oh! Thank you, Your Highness! I'll be here first thing Monday morning!"
"Yeah, listen, I only hired someone because Lillith says I need to lighten my workload, but I can't trust some random sinner... and I got a whole system going, soo - " he responded to you as he took paperwork and filed it away, not at all engaged in conversation.
"Just be here and look busy at your desk. It's the cushiest job ever. If you're lucky, you'll get some calls and schedule some appointments." He waved his hand, silently dismissing you from his office.
"Ah.. well, i'll still be here if you ever need assistance, Sir! Right.. Monday, i'll be here! Thank you - " You stammered out some enthusiastic words before quickly walking towards the door and letting yourself out. Lucifer never stepped away from his work, letting you uncomfortably leave without a word.
The weekend goes quickly, and yet your first week working as Lucifer's assistant goes by slowly. He meant what he said. You simply sat at the desk right outside his office and managed to take one call the entire week. It was spam. You really couldn't complain much, though. You sat there and doodled, or read a book, or kept yourself busy with some other meaningless task and got paid well for it.
Very Well.
You thought that working at a job like this for even a single year would leave you with enough money to live comfortably in Hell, which was saying something. Lillith occasionally came by to ask how the king was, but you were given scripted answers by Lucifer for almost all her questions. You'd say things that made it sound like you were taking on as much work as possible, giving the Queen some sort of satisfaction with your employment.
Your relationship with Lucifer was distant for the first few years you knew him. But, about 5 years into this job, you actually felt well versed in your work. After he trusted you with at least filing things away, you became very familiar with his documents. So, when Lillith suddenly disappeared and Lucifer fell into a depression, you adjusted quickly to pick up anything he couldn't handle. He was frustrated that you were taking initiative but softened at the sight of how well you managed to get everything done.
As his mentality began to improve, he'd take on some paperwork that you would do, finally giving you a chance to breathe. No wonder Lillith insisted on getting him help. He had quite the workload.
After things were settled a bit more, it became easier to try and chat with him. You had brought him a pot of tea at some point, which quickly became a routine after you saw how much he appreciated it. Then as time went on, you'd bring two cups with you, sharing his free time.
You became closer during Lillith's absence, being the only person who saw him on the daily. You'd been there for his angry fits when something especially frustrating would occur. Or when work became too much, it led to a vulnerable display of misery that you had to be careful around.
On a certain day, you finally commented on Lucifer's depressed state. He was quick to open up to you, being too exhausted to consider the repercussions of sharing such intimate thoughts. That was the night you learned that Lillith had just disappeared. She left a note that instructed him to take care of Charlie, but there was no indication of her returning. He was such a kind soul, it twisted your heart seeing him suffer this much.
After that, things started to become more casual between the two of you. You'd handle his work with ease, and he appreciated you more than you'd ever know. Such a hard worker sticking by his side through all of it, it filled his head with a cluster of thoughts that he never had time to entertain. You were pleased to be able to call him a friend after all this time.
It's been 7 years since Lillith disappeared, and things had settled into a routine. You would do your work, ask him questions if needed, and spend your break time drinking tea and discussing personal projects or what your life was like. The few joyful stories you had would almost bring him to tears, considering he never was able to see what free will did for humans on Earth after all this time.
One morning, you heard him taking a phone call before a chipper Lucifer kicking open his office doors. You jumped, the wind blowing some papers away from in front of you.
"Damn it!" You huffed, quick to lean down to collect the mess he made.
"Clear my schedule for the rest of the day, sweatheart! My daughter wants to see me!" He spoke with pride, adjusting his bowtie and taking a deep breath to attempt to ease his nerves.
"Hey, that's great! I'll cancel your meetings. I'm glad to see that you two are finally getting in touch again." You smiled sincerely as you stood in front of him. You towered over him by just a few inches. You gave a quick swipe off his shoulders, clearinv some barely noticeable dust from his coat. He was quick to step away, not expecting the sudden touch. That was definitely something you picked up on; that he didn't really understand how to react to touch after Lillith left.
"Y-Yes, very good. I'll be getting ready if you need me." He stammered out, sending you awkward finger guns before making his way down the hall. You always loved seeing him flustered.
As you tried to get work done, you really couldn't keep your mind straight. You finally put some paperwork down after re-reading the same sentence over and over, realizing you weren't getting anywhere. You let out a huff and made your way to Lucifer's room.
He'd let you into his bedroom a handful of times over the years to pack his bags for trips that would take a few days or to bring him tea. There were a few times where you'd let yourself in, like taking care of him when he would get sick - no matter how much he insisted he didnt need the care - or if you felt he could benefit from talking something out.
You knocked lightly, but not getting a response for a while, you peaked your head inside carefully. He was pacing his room, multiple suits hanging in front of him on a rack and clothes piling up on the floors.
"Oh geez.. Lucifer, can I come in?" You asked out loud, your head already peaking in.
"Fuck! Ooh, sure! Yup! One.. Second..." You tried not to watch him portal away the mess, pushing random items inside before quickly snapping it away. He leaned on his desk, trying to seem unphased as you stepped inside. "Aaand what can i do for you, my dear?" He spoke as if he hadn't been a fumbling mess for the past half hour, but you could tell almost immediately.
"I just - I wanted to tell you how proud I am. I know you've had a rough couple of.. centuries... but I also know how much Charlie means to you, so I'm glad you're finally getting to see her work. I'm sure she looks up to you, no matter what you think of yourself." You looked away, shyly rubbing your arm for some sort of comfort, hoping that you weren't overstepping any boundaries. You weren't exactly looking in his direction when you spoke, so you didn't expect a sudden hand to take yours, running a thumb across your knuckles gently. You immediately perked up.
"Thank you.. You always know just what to say to calm me down, huh?" He sent you a sweet smile. It was clear that he was struggling to keep tears from welling in his eyes, the sentiment just too much for him to handle. He let out a quick sigh before giving your hand a small squeeze and letting it drop. Your eyes widened, and your face turned red. This was a big step. Even after all these years, he rarely made any physical contact with you.
"So! I guess now that you're here, I might need some help with - uh.. suits! W-What to wear.." He picked up on your flustered expression and was quick to change the topic. Snapping his fingers, he let the previous portal reappear. Clothes, accessories, and a full rack of suits fell out like a closet door that had burst open. You both stood in silence for a moment before you broke it with a snort, covering your smile immediately.
As soon as he returned, Lucifer immediately updated you on how the visit went. It was a long vent about some obnoxious red-headed demon, Charlie's clearly angelic girlfriend, and the sudden fear of having to contact Heaven and schedule the meeting.
"I've got it, sir. You know they seem to tolerate me more than you for some reason." You grin wickedly, flipping your hair to display confidence. He let out a soft chuckle and gave you a quick pat on the shoulder before heading back to his room.
It took all your strength not to follow him.
A few months had passed, and you had to pick up some more work than usual due to Lucifer being busy with the construction of the hotel that had been demolished. After it was completely done, you noticed that the building had an apple shaped tower. You confronted the king before he nervously admitted to moving into the hotel to be closer to Charlie.
"Oh! That's.. yeah, that's great, sir! I should be fine here, i've been handling it pretty well so far, right? I'll be fine." Your final statement was more for yourself than him.
"What? You're not joining me? I still have an office, and even if it's a bit smaller, i still expect you to come work for me. There's plenty of rooms, too, if you want to stay nearby. But, hey - if you'd rather stay here then - "
"No! I'll go to the hotel!" You quickly blurted out, seeing a sly grin across his face. Oh, he totally did that on purpose. You let out a groan and rolled your eyes, trying to conceal the light blush creeping across your face.
So, that was that. You were quick to settle into the hotel, meeting and bonding with the staff easily. Lucifer had told you so much about them that you could nearly recognize them through their appearance alone. Charlie was the easiest. She had plenty of pictures in the castle and looked just like her father. Once you had settled into your room that was just a few yards away from Lucifers office, you heard a quick knock. You opened the door to Charlie's bright face.
"Hi! I hope you're settling in okay! I don't know how much my dad's told you about my project, but.. if you're interested  - " She holds out a pamphlet, Redemption written across the top of it. " - you're totally welcome to join us!"
You take it with a smile before shutting your door again. You skimmed through it, getting the jist. It made you think of your parents. You hadn't seen them down here, luckily, so you wondered if they'd be in Heaven. You never had the best relationship, but they were family at the end of the day. Maybe it was something to consider.
The work environment was changing. Lucifer handled more hands on tasks, so you saw him less than before. You helped with anything Charlie or Lucifer needed, but still mainly stayed at your desk to finish some routine work. In your free time, you attended exercises and hung around with the other guests. You really only interacted with Lucifer for the past decade, so getting out and talking to others was a nice change.
Every so often, you'd get a chance to chat with Lucifer. When you entered the office in the morning and saw him working at his desk, you quickly whipped up some tea at the heated pad that was added to the office for this exact reason. You took any chance you could catch up with him. Placing the cups on his desk and filling them both, he almost jumped, clearly invested in this letter he was reading.
"Thank you.. how've you been doing? I know we don't get much tea time anymore - " he childishly clinks your cups together before taking a sip, " - but.. just been busy... Sorry." He said softly, his smile slightly drooping as he spoke.
You quickly swallow your tea to reassure him," Mm! Don't be sorry, I knew things would be different here, I don't mind! And besides, Charlie's been keeping me busy with the whole redemption thing. It's kinda fun, everyone here is really sweet." You spoke, going into detail about some of the exercises that went on and how they would play out. His smile never really picked up, he would simply nod and continued to sip his tea as you went on.
"Well - Glad you're having.. fun... I suppose." He glanced at a calendar sitting on his desk for just a moment, before letting out a shaky breath.
"Your highness? Is everything okay?" You immediately noticed his dismissive attitude, before placing your empty cup on his desk.
"It's Lucifer, remember? You've known me too long to keep calling me your highness." He cringed at the title, making quotation marks as he said it. He stood from his seat with a stretch. You had little room between the two of you when he stood up, making you stumble back a bit. He patted your shoulder, a gesture that became comforting throughout the recent months. His hand lingered a bit longer than usual. He stepped away, leaving the office to do some kind of task you weren't paying attention to.
"O-Okay..! I'll see you around then, Lucifer!" You nearly shouted his name, hoping he'd hear it even though he was down the hall at this point. He heard it. And boy, did he regret telling you to do that. He covered his red face as he turned the corner out of your view.
A few weeks had passed, and you really didnt see Lucifer around at all. Every time you went into the office, he seemed to just be heading out. Maybe it was just bad luck. But you went on with your routine, even without seeing him as much as you'd like.
With the stress of not seeing Lucifer and a particularly rough day, you struggled to walk to your room. Fumbling in your pocket for your room key, you caught a glimpse of the devil himself leaving his office.
"Lucifer!"
You called out, almost sounding relieved. He shot his eyes up to look at you, sending you a nervous smile and a little wave. You stumbled over yourself a bit to catch up to him, stopping him where he stands.
"How have things been going? You wouldn't happen to have time for some tea, would you? I'd love to get some updates!" Even with a drained social battery, you wanted nothing more than to be in his presence right now.
"O-Oh! U-Uh.. sure, i'll get it started, I have some time.." he rubs the back of his neck awkwardly, turning back towards the office.
"Great! I'll be there in a second, okay?" You cheerfully went back to your room, not noticing his nervous expressions as he spoke to you.
You took a few minutes to change into some comfortable clothes. Sure, you looked great in business casual, but nothing could beat a cropped t-shirt and pair of sweat pants that bagged loosely around your hips. Lucifer's seen you this way a few times. sometimes, late night projects needed to be worked on and he would always insist that you work in something comfortable, knowing it would take a while to finish.
So you had no issue when you reentered the office, shutting the door behind you.
He desperately tried to keep his eyes away from your mid drift, looking back towards the boiling water on the heated pad in front of him. His vest was undone and his coat was hung up nearby. He had rolled his sleeves up, and stood at the counter with his hands placed on his hips. You took in his appearance, feeling a bit better that he wasnt completely put together either.
"So? How's.. how's your day been?" He asked in a hushed voice, keeping his face completely out of view.
"It's been kind of a rough day, actually.. Charlie needed some help with some new residents, so I had to give a few tours. Which i don't mind of course, but fuck does that take more energy than i have. And some of the demons were looking at me funny, so I had to get out of their fast. Angel hid me in the library for hours! It was fine, though. Besides, it was fun to hang out with him. Oh, and Charlie says i'm making good process, too! That was a good pick-me-up." You said your last sentence with pride, puffing out your chest a bit.
"Fuck!"
You quickly drop your eyes to see Lucifer hunched over, clutching his hand with a hiss. You see the tea pot boiling over and quickly rush over to unplug the heated pad.
"Lucifer, be careful, geez! Is this why i make tea all the time? Can't handle it?" You teased, taking a towel to clean up the small amount of hot water sitting on the counter. Finally seeing the damage, you see a burn forming along the palm of his hand. You look at him for a moment, hovering your hand just over his wrist. He nods to you then looks away, letting you take a soft grasp onto his wrist amd leading it over to the accompanying sink just a few feet away. You held his hand under the faucet, letting a slow stream of cold water run over his hand. He flinches at the sensation, but immediately relaxes once he realizes how much of a relief it was.
"Are you okay?" You asked softly, leaning against the counter with your head cocked to the side. "Maybe it's just because you've been so busy, but i feel like something.. happened. Do you wanna talk to me?" You offered your help, but made it clear that he didnt need to open up if he wasnt ready. It was one of the boundaries you respected that he appreciated so much.
"It's- yeah. I'm fine. Things are going well, right? We have residents, Charlie's getting some good progress apparently, and Heaven's finally keeping us updated on the redeemed souls.. so, it's all good! Just needs a little elbow grease to keep this ship running, right? Nothin' the king of hell can't handle." He spoke smugly.
"Sure! It's great that the hotel's doing well. But I asked how you're doing." You clarified for him, crossing your arms across your chest. He groaned, placing his weight on his elbow on the counter and leaning forward, his hand still shifting under the running water.
"I-I'm.. it's..." he stammered and struggled to piece together his thoughts." It's... been almost 15 years. Since I hired you. Did you know that? Even after Lillith left, you still stuck around and took care of me.. I'm such a mess, why do you still take care of me..?" He mumbled his words, as if he never really wanted you to hear them.
 "I guess it has been, huh? Best decision of my life, really. I mean you pay me way too much, but.. I also got to make a friend, too. I'll be here for you no matter what, Lucifer. You're not a mess, you're doing great." You smiled at him, shifting your position to place a hand on his shoulder. He lets out a shaky breath, leaning his head towards your hand. His cheek brushed against the top of your hand, in a sort of caressing motion. You pulled away, out of shock, your hands enclosed in front of your chest. He looked up to see your eyes wide open and your body suddenly tense. He opened his mouth, as if to apologize, but stops to think for a moment instead.
He keeps his eye contact, taking a hold of your hand again, and pressing a small kiss on your knuckles, before leaving it in front of his lips. You felt his breath against your hand as he finally gets the courage to speak.
"You'll be here no matter what, huh? So.. If i were to ask you to... stay - I mean you don't have to say yes, but.. hypothetically... if i asked..." he spoke slowly, like he was still searching for the words as he said them out loud.
You melted at his sudden affection, your knuckles tingling from the sensation of his lips and breath against your hand. It was only after he spoke, you pulled your hand away from him carefully.
"What..? You mean like... stay in Hell? I don't - Lucifer, i'm confused. I've been working with Charlie for almost six months, you know? What's going on?" You sounded almost frightened, and it sent a pang to Lucifer's heart. He turned the sink off, beginning to rub the water off his hand. He hissed, the friction just causing more irration. Your instinct to aid him took over. You took the towel in one hand and his burned hand in the other, lightly dabbing the towel against the tender skin.
"Well, i said it was hypothetical, didnt I? What.. what would you say? Would you stay?" You paused with your hand holding his wrist, looking dwon at the calmed burn.
"Hypothetically? I don't.. I don't know, Lucifer.. I know Charlie could always use extra hands, and... you'd have to hire someone else, which would be a hassle - " he cringed at the thought of hiring someone else once it was said outloud.
"Exactly! See? You get it! I - We need as much help as we can get for the hotel, so.. maybe try to stick around. You've been too useful to keep doing this silly exercises, don't you think?" He was panicking. You could hear him desperately trying to come up with any excuse under the sun, but it still caused you to tense up. Your body curled into itself and you stepped back a bit, looking at him with such a purplexed expression that even he didnt understand what he was saying.
"Lucifer, I know your work is important and I know how much you want to support Charlie, but.. she said i'm doing it. That I might have a chance to go up to Heaven! Isn't that the whole point of being here? Isn't that what you want?"
His eye twitched at your words and he was quick to change his temper.
"No! It's not! That's not why you're here..! You're here, because I need you - need you to keep working for me! You're here because I brought you here. You know, the last redeemed soul was only here for six months, too! You could disappear at any second!" His voice sounded stern, but it was clear his intentions dripped of desperation. It still hurt you nonetheless.
"I'm sorry, but what the fuck?? I'm doing all the activities and making friends here, I thought you'd be happy about that! I've supported you through so much and even though you're acting this way, i always will! I thought you'd do the same!" You began to pace the office, your breath hitching a bit as you spoke. You tried your hardest not to let the tears in your eyes well up. Not wanting to let Lucifer see you in this state, you began to leave the office, quickly opening the door.
"No! Wait! I can't - I-I don't know how to - " He still struggled to get a coherent sentence out as you turned to face him one last time.
"Sir - "
" I told you not to call me that..!" He clenched his fists at the term.
"No. I can't do this while you're acting like this. I'll give you some space, let you figure out.. whatever's going on with you, then... we can talk. But if you decide that this is all you have to say, then I'll be continuing my work with you and Charlie, as usual. Goodnight, Sir."
You couldn't help but let your voice crack as you spoke. The idea of just moving past this sudden outburst hurt, but you knew that sometimes he just needed that space. And you hated to admit that you could use the space as well. You were supposed to be the calm and collected assistant, right? You were his anchor for a lot of the struggles he'd seen throughout the years and he confided so much in you.
What the fuck was his problem?
---
A few hours had passed, it gave both of you time to calm down from the heated discussion. Lucifer found himself right in front of your room, still without the strength to knock on your door. He took a deep breath in and held it in his chest before finally reaching foward. Before he even got the chance, the door swung open, smacking the air from his lungs. You both make sudden eye contact with eachother before Lucifer was hunched over coughing out the wind that was just knocked out of him. You cover your smile with your hand, pulling away from the door to open it fully.
"I guess you really are a mess, Lucifer.. what do you need?" You couldn't help but giggle when he lost his composure like this, it lightened your mood for a moment.
"Ahha.. you know me so well. I-I want to talk to you, you deserve an apology.." His voice was quiet, but you knew it was sincere. You stepped to the side, allowing him to enter your room.
"Okay, just - let me get through this, alright?" He took in a deep breath and spoke quickly,
"I don't understand why you want to go to Heaven. I told you about it in the past, you know how awful they are.. the rules and the limitations, fuck! They've done nothing but hurt me and fuck up everything going on down here. You couldve died you know! If you werent working for me and were just wandering the streets, you couldve been killed in any of those exterminations! I can't lose you! I-I - " you immediately noticed him losing his train of thought, and take a soft grip on his wrist in an attempt to ground him.
"I think my parents are up there, sir- Lucifer.."
He stops where he's at and looks towards you, before walking backwards and plopping down at the bench in front of your vanity.
"I-I didn't know. I never thought about-"
" - why i'd want to be redeemed? This isn't about wanting to leave you, I just.. i didnt realize this was an option, you know? That i might get to see them, again.."
Just for your own comfort, you shifted your grasp from his wrist to his hand, running your thumb across his palm lightly. The motion made him shiver slightly, still a bit sensitive from the burn.
"I didn't know you'd want to see them, i'm sorry.. you don't really talk about them much, so i thought..."
"No, you're right I didn't really have a good relationship with them, but it'd be nice to know theyre happy still, right? That all that time they spent working to keep me in school was worth it.. don't i owe them that?" He took a moment to process your words, his fingers slowly curling around your hand.
"I mean, you don't owe them anything, really. I have to ask, when's the last time you did something.. for yourself? You've been working for me for years and even here, it sounds like you're.. Ah, I'm sorry, i don't know what i'm saying - ". He always struggled with reading emotions, but even he could tell that that his words struck a nerve.
He looked away, dreading the silence that followed. What he wasn't expecting was the small hic and sniffles that suddenly came from your direction. He almost panicked, his eyes darting around the room for anything that seemed like a solution. He quickly stood up and hesitantly reached towards your face, just lightly brushing the tears that had streaked down your reddened cheeks.
"I-I don't know... I don't need much and I'm happy doing whatever you need me to, usually, so - I'll just keep doing that, okay? I-I'll stay.."
He groans and cringes at your words, before lifting your head to meet his eyes, his hands softly cupping your cheeks as he continued to wipe the tears still falling from your eyes.
"If you want to go to Heaven, I can't stop you. I-I won't stop you. But I also want you to.. be happy. I'm sorry about earlier, I never wanted to make any of this harder for you. You've done so much for me, sweetheart, I was scared of losing.. you... But I can handle myself, I promise. I mean, i'm a 10,000 year old demon with more power than I know what to do with. I'll be okay." He spoke sweetly, finally managing to let out a coherent thought. You melted into his touch, placing your hands overtop of his. Your eyes fluttered shut, allowing the last few tears to drip down.
"I know. I mean, sometimes I don't - sometimes it feels good to be able to help you so much - but I know you'll be fine." Your voice had a hint of hesitation. It was a relief to get some sort of resolve out of this conversation, but deep down, it felt as if you were deemed worthless. After all these years, he's saying he'd he fine if you went on to pursue other things, but why does that hurt?
"You asked when.. when was the last time I did something for myself. Honestly, I feel selfish. I feel like I've spent all this time taking care of you, because I like... feeling needed. I like that you ask me what to wear when you're nervous, or that you let me handle some of your more obnoxious clients just so you don't have to, I- I love it, actually. I love - being with you." You didn't realize you let out a mild confession, until you looked back to Lucifer to see his incredibly nervous expression. He was holding his breath, eyes impossibly wide as he bites his lower lip to prevent a quiver. He finally gulped before looking away and rocking back and forth on his heels.
"W-Well then! Self care at its finest, am I right? Ahha.. that's great how selfish you are! Self-selfless! Very selfless actually, I.. I really appreciate that you enjoy being around - enjoy my company..!" You watch him whip his hands behind his back, defaulting to the nervous mess he usually became when racked with a stressful situation.
"Oh! Lucifer, I'm sorry, that was a lot, I don't want you to feel like you have to - " A red clawed finger quickly hits your lips, and you see him with a lovely flustered expression. He took a moment to collect his thoughts, finger still uncomfortably pressed to your mouth.
"Can I- would you let me just- Fuck.. can I do something?" He blurted out. He was always so easy to read, but you prayed you weren't misunderstanding when you took a hold of his hand and pressed a small kiss to the tip of his finger that had lingered over your lips until now. He let's out a nervous chuckle and you hear an audible gulp as he moves his hands back to your cheeks, pulling your face down slightly to be able to meet his gaze. You can feel his heavy breath against your lips, suddenly realizing how close he actually was. In a quick motion, you pressed another small kiss onto his lips. You felt his hands jump at the sudden interaction, and tried your hardest to keep a smile from creeping on your face.
He let out a quick breath before planting a shaky kiss onto your lips, lingering for a moment longer this time. It still wasn't a lengthy kiss, but it was more than he could manage before stepping away for a moment, overwhelmed by your presence. This finally gave you a good look at him, a bright pink flush covered his face, and a small sheen from the lipgloss you forgot you were wearing appeared on his lips.
"You're so pretty, Lucifer." You spoke boldly, a suddern surge of confidence hitting you, just seeing him in this state.
"Can we keep going..?" You asked softly, taking a seat on the edge of your bed. He pulls at his collar, attempting to let any cool air hit his heated skin to try and calm him down. It's been a long time for him, sure, but considering the previous discussion, hearing you say you loved being around him, was enough to give him the confidence to nod along and sit next to you. You took a hold of his cheek and turned his head to face yours.
"I'll only do what you're comfortable with okay? We can stop whenever you need to." Your voice was sweet, your thumb beginning to run across his bottom lip as you spoke. He struggled to keep his eyes open, melting into your touch, and propped his hand on your arm to keep himself upright. He nodded slowly, finally letting his eyes droop close as you bring him into another kiss. You were definitely more confident than he was in this moment, or maybe it was just repressed excitement for an opportunity like this to happen. With your thumb still holding his bottom lip slightly ajar, you kissed along the each corner of his mouth before leaving an open mouthed kiss right on his lips. You pulled your hand away to place it gently on his leg as you pull yourself closer.
Finally pulling away to catch your breath, you look at Lucifer, who's still holding his eyes tightly shut. Each move you made, made him jump.
"Lucifer, Hey, open up." You laugh as you speak, brushing a few strands of golden hair away from his eyes. "Are you okay? Do you need a break?" His eyes finally shot open hearing your words. The thought of stopping must have startled him. You feel his lips crash against yours, a stark contrast to the gentleness you were giving him moments ago. He shifts to sit on his knees on your bed, keeping himself close to you by propping his hands on either side of your legs. You let out a surprised yelp, quick to catch up with his sloppy kiss. It became more tender as time went on, plus taking the lead again made it a bit easier to control his nervous movements.
His hands moved up to sit on your thighs, mostly to make himself more comfortable at this mildly awkward position. But it still gave you butterflies to feel his hands on you.
You pulled away yet again, taking a moment to breathe and to simply look at his expression. His eyes were watery, possibly from the emotional stress of the past few days, possibly from his excitement alone. You pressed your hand against his chest, feeling his rapid heartbeat beneath your palm. He tightened his grip on your thighs, as if you could disapear at any moment. And it scared him to consider that a possibility. Your mind finally caught up to the problem at hand, seeing him in this state and considering the heated conversation from before.
You pull him in one final time, a deep kiss that seemed to melt his nerves away. Then, you simply brought him into a tight embrace, your hands wrapping around his shoulders and gripping at his vest. For some reason, this startled him more than any of your previous interactions. He was hesitant at first, but still shifted to comfortably wrap his arms around your waist and pull you impossibly closer.
"This is a big decision, Lucifer. I have alot to think about, and it isnt really your fault, but this definitely doesn't make things easier.." you muffled your words into the crook of his neck letting out a shakey breath. He could feel your chest shake a bit due to your close proximity.
"I know, I'm sorry. I might have gotta a little carried away there." He responded. The position the two of you were in let his words pass dangerously close to your ear. You shutter slightly, unconciously leaning into the sensation.
"I'll make sure this is what I want, okay? I promise."
He nods, which you felt in the form of his hair brushing against the side of your face. Lucifer let his head fall down onto your shoulder, taking in the moment while it lasted.
Because, who knows how long this could last?
♡♡♡
FUCK this was angsty my bad. I had this prompt in my notes for days and I still honestly don't know how to properly end it, but i'll make a part 2 eventually.
Accidentally put a lot of personal insecurities in this one 🙃
Hope you enjoyed :)
P.S I have been getting your requests and i'll start them up soon! Just had to finish this one up first!

"what's it like?"
radioapple smut some degrading
1276 words
@hellsperfectangel
Tumblr media
alastor stands in front of the door, waiting. he couldn’t believe he was here, and on his own volition no less.
finally the door opens, a tired lucifer rubbing at his eyes and holding a coffee mug. then he looks up and sees alastor. “o-oh shit!” he tosses the cup, and hurries to catch it. “alastor, hello!” he laughs. “what-what are you doing here?” he takes a sip of his coffee.
“you’ve had sex, yes?” alastor asks the short king, who spits out his coffee.
“i-i-i mean… i-i have a daughter, so ob-obviously!” he laughs a bit nervously. “w-why do you ask?”
the radio demon lets out a sigh. "i must admit... i have started to get a little curious." he says, a slight blush on his face. “so tell me, what’s it like?”
“w-what it’s like uh…” lucifer looks down, a hand under his mouth in thought. “that’s… a bit hard to explain, actually.” he shrugs, looking back at alastor. “it’s a little different with everyone. besides, it’s uh, been a while since the last time… w-why don’t you go and ask angel dusk?”
he looks up at alastor, who gives an annoyed smile. “i tried but he’s so… how do i put this nicely… descriptive. oh, i just could not stand another second in the same room as him!”
“well um, if you really want to know what it’s like…” lucifer looks down, his red cheeks getting even redder. “i-i could show you.”
the taller lets out a laugh. “show me? oh no no no no.” he shakes his head. “especially not with you!” alastor turns and leaves, heading back to the main area. but what lucifer had said…
as alastor goes about his day, tending to the hotel and keeping everything in check, his mind kept circling back to the demon king’s offer. by the end of the day, alastor has gotten back to lucifer’s room. he paces outside the door, debating if he should knock or not. was he seriously considering this?
it seemed the decision was taken away from him however when lucifer opened the door. “how long are you going to stand out here?” he asks.
the red-haired demon looks at him, annoyed. “that little offer from this morning?”
“mhm. uhh yeah, totally.” lucifer nods, staring up at alastor. “uhh but just in case, remind me again?”
the taller demon lets out a sigh. “your offer to show me what sex is like?”
“oh! that!” the short king laughs nervously. “y-yes, what about it?”
“after some thought… i… have decided to take you up on it.”
“yeah, yeah, come in!” lucifer holds the door open for alastor, who follows in.
the red head looks around, noticing the amount of rubber ducks the other has laying around. he gently presses a finger to the top of one’s head as he passes.
the king turns around to face alastor, and holds his hands out for him. “let me know if you get uncomfortable.” he says as the taller nods and places his hands over lucifer’s. he guides alastor towards the bed and wraps his arms around the radio demon’s waist as he lays back. alastor hesitantly lets himself fall over, planting his hands on either side of him.
he looks down at lucifer, who is laying beneath and currently focused on unbuttoning alastor’s top. he slides the coat down and looks up the deer demon, who looks away with a small blush. the blonde grabs the front of his vest with one hand and guides alastor to face him with the other, and pulls him down for a kiss.
alastor backs up a little. “w-what are you doing?”
lucifer sits up with him and pulls himself into the other’s lap. “just basic foreplay. helps set the mood.” he sets a hand on the darker’s chest, and leans in for another kiss. this time alastor accepts, not exactly kissing back but he places his hands onto the blonde’s waist.
the shorter slides his hand down the other's chest, over his abdomen, and slip's his hand under the pants and boxers of the red-haired demon. he presses his hand against alastor’s cock, softly rubbing it.
alastor's grip on lucifer tightens as he pants and groans at the feeling. he pulls away from the kiss and rests his head in the crook of lucifer’s neck. “how are feeling?” the king asks, placing a hand on the back of the radio demon's head.
he lets out a slight whine of embarrassment before whispering “good.” lucifer praises the answer by stroking him, thumb rubbing over the tip whenever he brought his hand up.
as he rubs alastor off, lucifer wets two of his fingers with his tongue and reaches behind himself. he lets out small whimpers and whines as he fingers himself, trying to stretch himself out for alastor, who was a bit bigger than he initially thought.
soon the king stops and hurries to get off the rest of their clothes. alastor watches him, enjoying the way the blonde so eagerly undresses both him and himself.
“you ready?” lucifer asks the sinner, holding himself over alastor.
“yeah.” the redhead nods and looks into the other's eyes. with his pale hands holding onto his dark shoulders, lucifer lowers himself onto the deer demon, taking in a breath as he feels alastor's length start to press into him. he leans into his chest and tries to relax himself.
he shudders as he feels the other man's hand run down his spine and further pushes him down. he soon hits the base of alastor's cock, feeling so full inside. “a-al… how are you feeling?”
the radio demon looks down at him with a smirk. “just fine.” he places his hand on the king’s flushed cheek. “but you look quite pathetic, i must say.” his smile widens. “to have the demon king himself on me, shaking and whimpering…”
“j-just let me fuck you.” his pitch heightens with embarassment as nearly his entire face turns a red hue.
“fine, fine. go ahead~” alastor laughs and lays back, keeping a hand on the other’s hips. the blonde starts to lift himself up, and starts riding him at a slow pace. letting out whimpers and moans, he looks up at the male beneath, who has a hand covering his mouth and focused on watching lucifer’s moments. then he reaches his other hand out and roughly pulls him back down.
the demon king tosses his head back with a loud moan, drool slipping out of his open mouth. alastor keeps going with a rough pace, lucifer unable to keep himself sitting up. he practically collapses into the radio demon’s chest. alastor is panting and groaning as he reduces hell’s most powerful demon to a moaning mess, and he’s living for it.
to get lucifer this vulnerable, to be the reason he’s in such a state, and to have it to himself. it was so thrilling.
and as he continues, he soon hits the others prostate. he arches his back as tears run down his face, and lucifer swears he was seeing stars. he digs his nails into skin of alastor’s shoulders as he cums, the white liquid covering the deer demon’s abdomen.
it’s not too soon after that the sinner gets close. he grabs onto the smaller’s ass and pulls him as close as he can. he comes inside him, filling the king with hot white seed. lucifer lays on the other’s chest, panting and eyes half-lidded. alastor watches as those eyes slowly blink to sleep. he wraps his arms around the smaller and looks up at the ceiling, before going to sleep himself.

Snuggy snugg
Canon universe Lucifer snuggling on top of Adam
This was the best thing ever. Aside from snuggling up to Lilith.
His robe was so soft! Comfy, warm~
Lucifer buried his chin on the other’s stomach and shifted a little, snuggling up to it more. He liked to fidget with it , too. The sewn on ‘A’, the hem of the sleeves, the little spikes at the middle, the collar, all the while his fingers brushing across the soft fleece. It felt like a cloud, honestly! If one could feel clouds, that is.
The snake’s snuggles were not a one sided benefit. Adam, wanting touch, kept himself quiet and let the little king do as he pleased. The other’s shifting and fidgeting were like caresses to him, and he didn’t want it to stop.
When Lucifer finally rested , he moved his head up, and Adam could see that content, closed eye smile, so full of angel purity. It was hard not to smile back.

Hello yes ME AGAIN!! Anyways I saw your writing on sloth reader and I had a question and a request if reader can like some what control their people with their voice, could they also be like a really great singer (when their not lazy) that was my question and for the request what if reader was in a reeeeeeaaallllyyyyy good mood an sang to her people (maybe after the battle with Adam since her people could not be sleeping right or not sleeping at all) like Sweets Dreams by Beyoncé take your time 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
Tumblr media
Belphegor!Reader with their people
Includes: Belphegor!Reader, Sloth Ring.
A/N: Kinda short and lazy sorry about that. Reader is seen as fem here, but you can imagine them as male voices if wanted.
Tumblr media
Oh yeah. Belphegor!Reader can control people with their voice. Their voice is hypnotizing, even if they aren’t using their power.
They use that to their advantage. A lot. When things don’t go their way, they use their power.
That’s one of their jobs. A pop star, despite the fact they hate doing work.
After the battle and the Finale song, you go home to your people.
You were gone for so long, they didn’t know if they could function without you!
The second you got back to your home, you laid on the ground and popped a few sleeping pills. After doing so, you fell asleep for about 3 days.
When you awoke and were served food, you decided to check out the damage to your ring.
Some buildings destroyed, and panicked looking people on the streets.
You got intel on the fact that almost none of your people are sleeping well. They were too shaken up by the extermination.
That happens almost every extermination, but this one was worse.
Maybe it was because you disappeared without a word, or maybe it was the fact sinners went to war with angels. You weren’t sure.
You thought about a plan for a day. What could you do to uplift your people’s spirits?
A song. You had a performance coming up, so you could sing a reassuring song for them!
The day of your performance comes and it seemed like every Sloth Ring inhabitant showed up.
As they did, you began singing your first song. Your sweet, sweet voice filled the ring as you jumped around and displayed your powers.
While doing this, speckles of your power floated around your audience and put them in a slight hypnotized trance for a moment.
This gave them the ability to see the ending of the fight. Once they snapped out of it, they watched as you returned to the stage.
You were more active than ever. It made your people wary, but happy in a way.
If you’re happy, then there’s nothing to worry about.
After your song, Sweet Dreams by Beyoncé, ended, you stood in the middle of the stage while looking at your people.
Cheers erupted throughout the entire crowd.
You decided to take it up your song count. You normally only sing one song after a few decades.
But you decided to sing 3 this year.
Your next song was softer. It was about staying positive through life’s storms.
This song made your people cheer and sing with you. Clean by Taylor Swift made your people nearly cry.
During this song, you showed how you can stay positive even after war.
You jumped around on clouds, threw confetti, etc.
As your song finished, you stood on a platform that emerged in the middle of the ground.
The next song you sung was a little deeper. You thought it would be a good song to end on.
Rise up by Andra Day. This song was perfect for your situation.
You manipulated your voice to make your people tired. That was towards the end of your song.
As much as you hated working, you couldn’t do it without your people. You hoped your songs would help them.
And they did.
Reports of better sleep had surfaced and your businesses were booming now more than ever.
Your people will forever thank you for the stuff you’ve done.

Songs mentioned:
Sweet Dreams by Beyoncé
Clean by Taylor Swift

A little rough experimental sketch of this stupid ship no one asked for <3
Lucifer is trying to encourage Aika to get on the hoop when it's higher, to do tricks higher up, but she is a little scaredy cat when it comes to it, used to have her hoop low.
As Charlie noticed her hobby even if in a very casual manner and knows how lonely she usually feels, pairing her to spend time with her father who own a circus but been away from it since isolating seemed a good idea, and it was. <3
Lucifer keeps teasing and pushing her to go higher, Aika keeps being flustered and nervous, the playful air helping them out to from stress.
Aika, who is usually confident and forwards with things becomes a bit of a mess with him so close, after all it's been so long since anyone made her feel like this, and having to bottle these feelings haven't been easy.
Why is Lucifer with his tail out? Well, when thy started practicing together on the Lyra, Lucifer teaches her how to be a duo, him also having a tail helping her with the balance, also to feel more comfortable about her own moving so close to him.

Alastor felt something touch the center of his chest. It felt like a hand, but bigger than an adult’s. He couldn’t pull himself away.
“I want your soul, Alastor.”
🌕WIP🌕
Marker sketch for a thing I'm gonna render. It comes with a fic too. Gimme like a day or two. My writing partner/forever partner is a much more prolific writer than I am and I have a difficult time getting words out fast enough for my liking. I know it's so hard to relate to 🤣

"just tonight"
radioapple nightmares, comfort
677 words
read on ao3
@lucifersruberduck
Tumblr media
“…stor? alastor?”
the red-haired demon blinks open his eyes, being greeted by a white face with rosy red cheeks.
“what are you doing in my room?”
lucifer takes a step back. “s-sorry to intrude i… i just don’t want to be alone right now and wasn’t sure who else to go to…”
alastor sits up, rubbing at his eyes. “what do you need?”
“just… to not be alone…” he looks down at the floor. “c-could i sleep in your bed?”
the radio demon looks at him before letting out a sigh. “fine. just tonight though.”
“thank you…” he gets into the bed next to alastor. the darker rolls over onto his back and closes his eyes. but then he feels something press up against him and looks down to see short male snuggled into his side.
“what are you-”
his shirt was wet. lucifer was crying.
what would charlie do?
he awkwardly reached and put his arm over the demon king. “d-do you want to talk about it?”
“nightmares… been- been having them since… i fell…” the pale demon grips onto alastor's shirt. “they get worse when it comes to the anniversary of that…” he further presses into his chest. “i used to have lilith to help me get through them but…”
“my mother would sing to me whenever i had a nightmare. do you think that might help, sir?” the sinner gently runs a hand through the king's hair, who nods.
alastor sits up and has the pale demon lay his head on his lap. he resumes with stroking his hair and begins to softly sing in broken creole. he looks down at him, watching as his red and gold eyes begin to close as he reaches for alastor’s free hand.
the radio demon softly rubs his thumb over the back of lucifer’s hand and lightly squeezes it.
by the time he is done with the song, he can feel that the king’s breathing has slowed and his hold has loosened. the darker lays back down and gently pulls lucifer up beside him. he continues to gently play with his hair as he feels his own mind drift off to sleep.
alastor wakes up a bit late the next morning and sits up. he stretches and gets up, then notices the plate of bacon and eggs with a cup of coffee on his table. he looks back to the bed, seeing lucifer is no longer there, before grabbing the plate and sitting down. a thank you card laid under the plate, a little sticker of a duck beside the signature.
he looks at the note as he eats, a genuine smile finding its way onto his face.
when he’s done he leaves his room and goes about his day with the hotel.
alastor stays up a bit late this time, not getting back to his room until nearly midnight. he walks in and starts to change when he hears a whimper from his bed.
he approaches his bed and notices the blonde hair of lucifer. who was almost entirely covered by the blankets, and it felt almost like he was trying to hide under them. his eyes were squeezed shut and he kept mumbling.
the radio demon frowned a bit and he bent down. he places a hand on his arm and softly shakes the pale male. then lucifer sits straight up and hugs tight onto alastor, surprising the sinner. the taller picks the other up and sits down with him on his lap. as he did last night, he begins to sing to the king.
it takes a couple runs of the song but the demon king finally calms down enough to stop crying. he looks up at the demon holding him and mumbles “sorry.” to him. “i uh… i know it was supposed to be just last night but… you helped…” he looks down. “i was waiting for you but… then i fell asleep…” he laughs weakly.
“as i saw.” alastor pats his head. “it's alright… you can come by any time…”
“really?”
“sure.”

“..our daily bread.. and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us- and-“
“Seeking forgiveness, are we, after those atrocities you committed, Father?” A cold voice spoke in Adam’s ear, though it felt more like it was in his head. “You..” the priest whispered. “What the FUCK are you-“
Lucifer’s finger went to the other mouth. “Shh shh..careful, you’re in a church..~”
“An abandoned church. No one will care.” Adam said , swatting the other’s dark hand away from him.
“Abandoned thanks to you, as you were~”
Adam went to his feet and turned to face the ex angel. “What the hell do you want from me..” he demanded with a hiss. “Whatever it is, you’re not getting it , you damned bird. Fool me once, shame on you . Fool me twice, still you.” He said, eyes narrow, a hand already reaching for his cross.
Lucifer put his hands up in defense. “Calm down, Adam. Although , in fairness, that was all you but ah, who’s keeping track? “ Adam opened his mouth in protest, but Lucifer cut him off. “I’m here to withhold you from enacting violence upon the townspeople. Your ‘heathens’. You will have a visitor later on today, a young woman.” He noticed Adam turning his attention away, looking always behind Lucifer, at the rafters, at a pew- Lucifer grabbed his chin and forced his head to turn so their gazes would meet.
“You are to treat her with a basic respect. You are not to harm a hair on her head,” he grabbed the other’s cross with his free hand and held a sharp end pressed up to the other’s neck, the golden white blessed metal turning the area it was touching lucifer’s hand slowly to red. “Should I receive the knowledge that you in fact did, then we shall see how much your Heavenly Father actually cares about you, Adam. And let me give you a clearer divine understanding : He doesn’t.”
Adam had been staring at the fallen angel fiercely, quietly. Yes, the cross hurt, but it probably hurt the other more. “Of course he does . He’s allowing you to burn , isn’t he?” Adam said with a smirk.
Lucifer responded with a wider one. “Just because this item has been blessed, it does not mean he has blessed it for you.”
He finally let go of the other. “Now, be a good boy, else you will find yourself on your knees begging for someone else to give you mercy, understood?” The angel said, adjusting his sleeve. “Good~”
He didn’t give the other an answer. And with a sudden strong gust of wind in Adam’s face, Lucifer was gone.
(Possibly a part one? Write in the comments if you’d like to read a part two, I’m going to go similar to the show’s story)
