Eternally Yours | Lucifer Morningstar x Reader Oneshot
The Garden of Eden is truly a paradise. All the plants and flowers are vivid and beautiful, and have a sweet fragrance.
As I sit on the grass I take a deep breath of the pure air before focusing my attention on the wildlife around.
It feels as though everything is in harmony with me. And Adam of course. I glance over at him walking around observing all the nature as well.
He has walked quite far away so it’s hard for me to fully see him.
My eyes dart to my side as I see some sort of creature with a yellow beak nudge into my thigh.
Its beak feels soft to the touch when it nudges against me. Its head tilted to one side, chirping with curiosity as it looked up at me.
“And what kind of creature might you be?” I ask out loud. It tilted its head again and chirped once more.
Whatever reply it was giving me was gibberish to my ears but it certainly was an adorable little creature.
I pick it up and pat it on the head gently as we both just continue to stare at one another.
After a few moments I jump at a sudden voice coming from behind me.
As I jumped with surprise at the voice, I instinctively tightened my grip on the creature.
“I call them ducks.” The voice says, causing me to turn around.
The creature squirmed slightly but didn’t cry out in pain or discomfort. Suddenly the voice spoke again.
“Oh my, I see I have arrived during a very adorable moment.” As I make eye contact with him I immediately recognize the man. It’s Lucifer.
I glance towards Adam’s figure before looking back at Lucifer. “I don’t think you should be here. Adam won’t be happy.” I say slightly louder than a whisper.
He gives me the most innocent look he can pull off before saying, “What, me being here is surely not a problem. I have just come for a friendly visit.”
The expression on his face says that he knows that’s complete bullshit, even though his tone was polite and sincere.
“He told me I shouldn’t talk to you.” I admit. Adam never explained why he didn’t like Lucifer or why I shouldn’t talk to him.
I’ve never questioned him or what he’s told me. All I know is that I was created for Adam and I should do everything in my power to be his equal and keep him happy.
Lucifer’s lips curl up in a mocking grin at those words. “Did he now? But I see nothing wrong with just a friendly chat to pass the time.” And he chuckles again as he takes a seat next to me.
I hum out as I think. “I suppose you’re right. A friendly conversation never hurts anybody.” As I finish saying this I give him a small smile.
His grin only grows as I hum out my agreement. “So.. What’s your name? I don’t think Adam ever mentioned it.”
“My name’s (Y/N).” I pet the duck some more as I respond.
He chuckles a little bit as he sees me petting the duck. “Aww, my little duckie seems to be enjoying your attention.”
He leans over a little to give the duck a little pet as well. “I’m Lucifer, Lucifer Morningstar.”
“Well it’s nice to officially meet you.” The duck chirps at all the attention it’s receiving.
“Same here! So, how much of paradise have you explored already? Has Adam shown you everything?”
I glance away, focusing on the duck. “He actually doesn’t like me leaving this area. He says it’s safer for me that way.”
Lucifer looks a little shocked at that. “He doesn’t let you go anywhere beyond this? This place is big though, but I can’t imagine staying just here and not seeing the whole of paradise!”
I sigh as I look at him when I speak this time. “I’m curious what the rest of the garden looks like. It must be absolutely gorgeous. But I was told to listen and trust Adam.”
“You’re missing out on the rest of this wonderful place! If I remember correctly, there’s even a pond and a beautiful waterfall in the middle of it. How’s that for gorgeous?”
My eyes sparkle as I hear Lucifer talk about the other parts of the garden. “Really?”
“Oh absolutely, and it’s definitely worth seeing!” Lucifer looks at me, matching my excitement.
“And.. I might know a way we can get there and look at it without getting Adam angry. A little sneak out, if you will.” He adds.
“Oh I would love to see it.” I then glance back at Adam and see he’s starting to make his way back over to where we are.
I frown slightly. “I guess we can’t go today though.”
Lucifer follows my line of sight and also sees Adam coming back. He raises an eyebrow as he watches Adam come closer.
“What a shame. Now it seems we won’t be able to go today. But, hey…”
Lucifer smiles widely as he leans in. “I said we won’t be able to go today... But, that doesn’t mean we can’t go any other day. Maybe tonight, when it’s dark and Adam’s asleep, we can sneak out and explore together?”
I juggle the thought in my mind for a while and glance back sadly at him. “I don’t know. That would be more than just a friendly conversation.”
Lucifer smiles at me even as I declined his offer to sneak out tonight. “I know it would be more than friendly, but I understand.”
I pause to glance at Adam again before directing my attention back to Lucifer. “How about this? Give me a day or two to think about it. When you come back I’ll have an answer for you.”
He nods as he hears my counter-offer. “A day or two, eh..? Alright, you have yourself a deal. I’ll come back tomorrow at this exact same spot to see what you’ve decided.”
We share a small smile before he turns himself into a snake and slithers off to be undetected by Adam.
As Adam comes back, he takes note of the duck in my arms. He frowned at the little creature.
“(Y/N).” His voice was very serious and firm, but I could also tell there was hurt hidden in it as he said my name. It was almost as if he was disappointed.
“Yes Adam?” I ask confused. “Is something wrong?”
“Where did you get the duck from?” His face was still stern and serious, but he had moved on from looking hurt to looking like he’s angry.
It’s clear he’s upset at me for having the animal, but why? I don’t understand what’s so wrong about this wonderful creature.
“It just wandered my way.” I hold it up for him to look at a bit closer. “Isn’t it cute?”
Adam takes a closer look at the duck. He squints at it and seems to size it up. It takes him a few seconds before he speaks again.
“Get rid of it. Actually no, I’ll get rid of it. Give it to me (Y/N).” He says as my eyes widen. “Oh, I- can I not keep it?” I ask meekly.
Adam seemed to be getting increasingly irritated by my attachment to the duck. He frowned more as I asked for permission to keep it.
“No.” He says firmly. He holds out his hand to her, waiting for me to hand him the duck.
I hand the duck over hesitantly. As Adam grabs the duck it chirps confused and I can feel my eyes start to well up.
He walks over to a bush farther away from where I stay and places it down. The duck refuses to move and just stares at me.
After a slightly forceful shove the duck eventually walks further into the garden.
As the duck walked away into the distance, Adam stayed right there and stared at where it went. His eyes were narrowed in a glare. He was definitely irritated, maybe even angry.
He didn’t move until he was certain the duck was far away enough. At which point he turned and started walking back to me, his expression still firm and upset.
─── ☾ ⋆*・゚:⋆*・゚ ───
My head was spinning with worry and doubt, questioning whether or not he was even going to show up at all.
He said he’d be back in two days and now it is the fourth day.
Everyday I made sure to sit in the exact spot as last time, keeping my eyes on the direction Lucifer slither away.
As I sat there, alone and waiting on Lucifer, I noticed that the garden was just not the same anymore.
Adam had gone exploring, as was his habit. But without the little duck, I began to feel lonely.
It was a strange feeling, especially since I had gotten used to staying here all day, everyday, by this point. But just now it felt wrong.
I couldn’t help but think that my mind was going a bit crazy waiting for Lucifer.
I had been waiting for two extra days than we agreed upon, and it was getting to the point where I was questioning my own sanity.
It was so out of character for me. I had never broken the rules once - and now I’ve been waiting on the edge of my seat for Lucifer to return.
I lay down on my back just staring up at the sky and clouds as I let out a sigh. I begin to close my eyes and just listen to the sounds around me.
Eventually, the light dims causing me to open my eyes confused. As I do so I’m greeted with Lucifer’s face peering down at me and a smile forming on my lips.
He leaned in close, staring down at me, his eyes locked on my own. The warmth of his smile was comforting like a warm blanket.
He looked like a shining angel under the sunlight with that radiant smile.
He had come, like he promised he would. I had thought he had forgotten me, but here he was.
“Hi.” Is all I could say to him as we continue to stare at each other.
A soft and almost angelic laugh escapes him seeing my reaction. “Hi indeed.” He walks around to my side as I sit up. He extends his hand out to me, helping me stand up.
There was a mischievous glint to his eyes. “Glad you waited for me.”
I let go of his hand after I'd completely stood up and dust off my dress. “I was thinking you wouldn’t show up.”
“Well, I told you I would. And I’m a man of my word. I am sorry I was late though.” He puts on the most genuine smile that he can manage, all the while his eyes are full of mischief.
“So, have you thought about my offer yet?” Wanting to mess with him a little I stayed silent for a while. “Hmm, you know I think I need more time to think.” I tease.
Lucifer’s cheeks flush a little in embarrassment as he realises that I’m playing with him.
This makes him grin widely. “How much time do you need? Tomorrow? Day after that? A week?”
“How long would you be willing to wait for me?” I ask.
I then immediately get shy as I don’t know where that came from. I’ve never spoken like that before.
“For you? I’d be willing to wait all eternity if need be.” Lucifer speaks without hesitation, and without any sign of exaggeration.
It makes me wonder, is he being honest? Or is he just teasing me back, in turn?
I smile at him. “Tonight we can go to the waterfall. If that still works for you of course.”
Lucifer gives me an excited grin at the news. “Of course it works for me. It works extremely well for me.”
He then leans in closer to me, a small devilish grin on his face. “Are you excited?”
I realize I don’t mind being this close to him. Whenever Adam tried to get close to me like this I never liked it. But with Lucifer? It feels so different.
“I’m so excited.” I beam at him not being able to contain my excitement. A devilish sparkle is in his eyes as he smiles back at me.
“If you’re so excited, how come you’re not jumping up and down?” He teases her playfully.
That makes me laugh. “I’m obviously saving the jumping up and down for when we get there.” Lucifer chuckles along with me at my playfulness.
“But surely you can’t keep still right now, can you?” As if to demonstrate, he moves his hand to my waist and pulls me ever so slightly closer.
“You’re too excited for your own good. I can feel the energy coming off you.” I immediately feel my face heat up as I’m not sure what to say in response.
He lets his fingers trail up from my waist to my chin, and his thumb traces the curve of my jaw for a moment. “Aww, look at you. All flustered.” Again, he gives me that devilish little grin.
I lean into his touch slightly. After a moment I feel his hand tense slightly as I look up at him to see his eyes shift to look behind me.
I turn my head to look as well and notice Adam is coming back earlier than usual. Lucifer lets out a sigh.
The devilish sparkle in Lucifer’s eyes disappears as his face hardens into a serious expression as he watches Adam walking towards us.
“Ahhh damn it.” He groans under his breath as he pulls away from me. “I guess we have to cut this short. I’ll be back tonight around midnight.”
“Alright. I’ll see you then.” I give him a small wave before he disappears into the garden.
─── ☾ ⋆*・゚:⋆*・゚ ───
Adam falls asleep quickly after the sun has gone down. After I’m sure he’s asleep I sit up to help keep myself awake.
I’m not sure how much longer until midnight but I wait patiently doing my best to stay up.
Every minute seemed like an hour and every hour like a day, but eventually, midnight rolled around.
The moon was visible in the night sky, brightly filling the darkness, and it was about as bright as it was going to get.
Lucifer appears in the distance, making his way towards me once again. “You’re still up? Impressive.”
“Impressive and very hard to accomplish.” I reply as I yawn. He reaches out his hand and I take to pulling myself up.
He chuckles. “Well, I’m glad you did. Because now we have the whole night ahead of us.” He takes her hand in his and brushes his other hand through her hair.
“So, are you ready to go see the waterfall now?” I grin at him. “So ready.”
He chuckles as he squeezes my hand a bit. “Then let’s go.”
He starts to lead me through the garden towards the waterfalls. We walked down a slightly hidden path for a little while before stepping into a clearing.
The waterfall was right ahead of us. It was so beautiful with the moonlight casting shadows, and the water making lovely and tranquil sounds as it dropped down.
My eyes light up at the view and a wide smile forms on my lips. “This is absolutely stunning.” I squeeze his hand slightly from excitement.
The moonlight hit Lucifer’s face making him look even more angelic as he beamed at my compliment. “It really is. It truly is amazing.”
He gazes at the waterfall for a few moments, taking in the sounds and the sights. “It’s even prettier with you here as well.” He leans in closer to whisper in my ear.
My face flushes and I giggle. “Come on, let's get closer to the water.” I pull him along as we get to the edge of the water and take a seat.
I let go of his hand to reach out and touch the water. Afterwards we sit in silence for a while admiring the view and the tranquillity of the night.
“Why didn’t Adam want me to see other parts of the garden?” I wonder out loud. I notice his body language and expression soften as he lets out a sigh.
"Well. The main reason he didn't want you exploring other parts of the garden was because there were things he didn't want you to see." He looks down at the ground for a few moments as if he's pondering something.
I look at him confused. “Like what? If it’s anything like this then why hide such beautiful things?”
Lucifer makes an apple appear in the palm of his hand. “This is the fruit of knowledge.”
I continue to stare at him more curiously now. I can tell he’s reluctant to say any more but he sighs and continues.
“It's a little bit complicated. If you eat this, there will be some things you'll know that you may not be ready for. You can't turn back once you eat it."
I study his face, trying to get a glimpse of some extra information, any advice at all. But his expression doesn’t give me any hints.
I reach out to take the apple from his palm. If he felt a need to tell me about this fruit of knowledge then I trust him.
“Just remember, you can’t take it back once you’ve eaten it.” He says softly, almost whispering.
I nod, taking one last look at the apple before bringing it up to my lips and taking a bite.
As I take a bite of the apple a sudden wave of knowledge comes over me. Everything makes so much more sense now.
Why Adam never wanted me to talk to Lucifer, why he didn’t like the ducking, why I was created. The whole reason I was created was to be a better made version of Lilith and Eve. All of it is finally coming together.
I was starting to understand things at an even deeper level, things that no one has ever thought to explain to me before.
“Why does Heaven want us to be shielded from this knowledge? It’s so… it’s so fulfilling to know I have the mind to make my own choices.” I say trying to wrap my head around why I was so shielded from this.
As I look at him he looks proud, proud that I’m an equal with him now. “Because they think we can’t handle it.” He responds. “We’re supposed to just do whatever they tell us with no regard for our own free will.”
“That’s not fair.” I whisper out sad that humanity is supposed to have a date like that.
“It’s not.” His voice is now tinged with frustration. “We should be able to make our own choices with full awareness of the consequences. If you had free will, there is no reason you shouldn’t have a full knowledge of that free will.”
He looks down at the waterfall for a moment to gather his thoughts. “You deserve to have the choice without being kept in the dark about certain things.”
“Thank you. Thank you for helping me realize this.” I grab his hands in my own to show how much I appreciate him.
Lucifer wraps his hands around mine, taking comfort from the warmth.
He looks down at our hands and his expression softens. His voice is tender when he speaks back to me.
“You deserve it. Anyone does. Knowledge is the most valuable thing one can possess, and you were robbed of it for too long.”
“I don’t- I don’t think I can go back to Adam knowing all of this.” I start to worry. “What will happen to me? The same thing that happened to Lilith and Eve?”
Lucifer seems to have been anticipating this question. He lets out a sad sigh as the expression on his face turns somber.
"Yes. You will most likely get cast from the Garden of Eden just the same as Lilith and Eve were." His eyes drift to the horizon for a moment as he thinks of ways to comfort me.
"But,” He gazes back at me with a gleam in his eyes. "If you come with me you’ll be spared of most of the pain that comes with being cast from here.”
My eyes dart over his whole body until they end up looking back at his own eyes. “I can do that?”
Lucifer's expression softens even more as I ask him that very important question. "Yes. You most certainly can." He says with a smile.
His eyes search mine, hoping this is the thing I really want. "Just say the word, and you're free to leave with me and never come back."
“It will cost you a lot. And it’s nowhere as pretty as this.” He adds making sure I fully understand.
I grab his face in my hands and kiss him. As I pull away I stare at him with such a fond expression. “I’m eternally yours Lucifer.”
He pulls me back in and kisses me again, taking his time to enjoy the moment.
When we pull apart again, his eyes are filled with such raw love. He can’t help it. The feeling just overwhelms him.
Lucifer smiles at me and he cups my face in both of his hands this time, his eyes staring into my own.
"And I'm eternally yours, my love.” I start to giggle. “Does that mean I get to be the queen of Hell?”
A devilish grin spreads across his face at this thought. “Why yes, I think the title suits you just fine.” He winks at me as he stands up, pulling me up with him.
Lucifer also takes one last appreciative glance at the waterfall before turning to look at me.
His eyes are glittering as he smiles at me. "So, my love, are you ready to leave?" I nod.
“I like where this friendly little conversation led us.” I say as Lucifer gets ready to transport us to Hell.
The next moment, our surroundings are completely changed. The waterfall is gone now, replaced by the harshness of Hell.
“I told you there was nothing wrong with just a friendly chat to pass the time.” He teases me and I give him a huge smile.

Chenford Fanfic: About Last Night
The Rookie Fanfiction | Chenford | One shot | 5K | Rated T | 5x01 Alternate Take | Sharing a Bed | Repressed feelings | Chenford Week '23
Story summary: Chenford, Vegas, and the one bed trope
In a world where their undercover op isn't interrupted, Lucy and Tim must find a way to share a bed one night in Las Vegas.
One day last November, my friend @heatherelf77 shared the following tweet, and it got my brain a'thinkin'.
My first thought was of a scene from the 1934 film It Happened One Night, when Clark Gable creates a room divider out of a blanket between his and Claudette Colbert's beds. I imagined Tim doing his own version of that for sharing a bed with Lucy, and it went from there.
Read an excerpt below, or jump on over to AO3 to read it now!
Lucy opened the bathroom door to find Tim arranging pillows on the bed.
“What are you doing?” she asked, amusement plain on her face and barely able to contain her laughter.
Tim paused and looked up at her. Why did he feel like she caught him doing something he shouldn’t?
“I’m creating a, uh–,” he gestured with his arm, moving it horizontally over the bed from head to toe and back again.
“A pillow wall?” she asked.
Tim looked sheepish under her gaze and shrugged one shoulder.
“Tim…” Lucy swallowed a grin, trying to maintain her professionalism “… do you really think that’s necessary?”
His cheeks flushed with embarrassment over the thought of admitting out loud that he was worried about being able to resist his attraction to her—especially when she had already made it clear that she didn’t feel the same way.
“I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable. I know that this wasn’t part of the plan.”
“It wasn’t. But I can keep my hands to myself if you can.”
Tim held his tongue. That was certainly a loaded subject, and one he had already given far too much thought to in the past 24 hours. He knew he didn’t trust himself to answer. Avoiding the topic, he rolled his eyes and chucked a pillow in her direction.
“Fine,” he relented, and started to place the pillows back at the head of the bed. “Which side of the bed do you sleep on?”
“You choose,” she offered, before tossing the pillow back to him. “It really doesn’t matter to me.”
A knock and a voice diverted their attention to the door.
“Room service.”
Lucy was already making her way to the door when Tim stopped her.
“Wait,” he said in a firm, but quiet voice, causing Lucy to turn to look at him. She noticed his hand hovering behind the firearm tucked away at the small of his back.
“I’ve got it,” she reassured him. “It’s okay.”
“I know you do,” he returned, stepping in close and lowering his voice. “I just don’t like this. Any of this. I keep feeling like something is going to go wrong or our cover’s going to be blown.” He peered through the peephole to find a waiter with a room service cart on the other side. Keeping his hand behind his back, Tim opened the door, then poked his head out to look up and down the hallway.
The coast was clear.
“Baby,” Lucy cooed, walking toward Tim, “you got us room service?” Her fingers curled around his biceps and the tips of her press-on nails sent a shiver through his body.
He turned his head to look at her, and dammit, the way she looked up at him with adoration written so plainly across her face reminded him she could turn her undercover persona on and off so easily. If he didn’t know any better, he’d believe she was actually into him. And it was his job to play along.
