Lucifer relaxed his shoulders, watching over the City of Angels. The many lights flickering and illuminating the world below. The sky glittering with stars as clouds softly flow overhead. It’s always been calming to just stand out there and take a moment to breath, to reflect or scream.
As the sounds start to flicker through the air, Lucifer continues to look over and watch the world move with the sombre music before he recognizes the song, a song he can relate to. He’s surprised she knows it, he listens to the lyrics flowing beautifully from her tone.
Will the darkness fall upon me
When the air is growing thin
Will the light begin to pull me
To its everlasting will
I can hear the voices haunting
There is nothing left to fear
And I am still calling
I am still calling to you
and when the chorus strikes, they both sing in unison.
Are you with me after all
Why can’t I hear you
Are you with me through it all
Then why can’t I feel you
Stay with me, don’t let me go
Because there’s nothing left at all
Stay with me, don’t let me go
Until the Ashes of Eden fall
How often had she played this song on her guitar back home? So often that she knows the tune to the point where she doesn’t even have to look at the guitar to be able to play it. And that allows her to watch him. Watch him as he leans on the barricade of the balcony, realizing once again that, holy fuck, he’s beautiful. The way that the light hits his face? Not to mention that ass? Fuck.
She can see why he was called the Lightbringer, why he was once considered the most beautiful Angel of them all. Before he was cast out of Heaven. And as he’s singing? Well, she comes to a startling realization. One that she never thought possible.
She’s falling in love with the Devil.
The thought is startling enough that she almost misses the cue to start singing the chorus with him, their voices joining one another almost perfectly. As if it was meant to be.
Was this God’s plan? Was this the reason she’d been given this curse?
After the chorus, she just keeps playing the same tune, letting it repeat as she tries to gather her thoughts. There’s a lot of burning questions going through her mind right now, trying to push the thought that she’s falling in love away to the back of her mind, trying to ignore the faint blush rising to her cheeks.
“Lucifer?” She asks. “How does someone get sent to Hell?” It’s one of the burning questions she’s been struggling with. Where did her parents end up? “My dad… he- is it true suicide is reason enough?”
