Jesus fucking christ, Milk. You know how to get the ol brain pumping, that's for sure.
I have two ideas. One. Is florist x Devil.
Lucifer can't keep away. He tries for a while, long enough for Adam to be born again. And I like the idea of God seeing how sorry his son is, and forgiving Lucifer. They grow closer as time goes on, and God lets Lucifer know that Adam will be born again soon. He has picked the perfect couple and the most deserving parents, so he knows Adam will grow up happy.
Lucifer smiles and agrees. But before long, he's sneaking to Earth to catch glimpses of the new first man. He possesses a nurse and watches how happy Adam's new parents are as they hold their baby boy. Both of them are crying, and kissing each other. Lucifer could feel the love from here.
Next, he gives it a few years, before possessing a black bird and sits in their apple tree, watching as Adam celebrates his 5th birthday. He's smiling, laughing, playing with his friends. Lucifer leaves, knowing Adam's safe.
It's a good few years before Lucifer next visits. His daughters new business, which is still the hotel but is solely focused on improving ones self and making tbe most of their afterlife, is constantly busy. She's churning out new sinners, who aren't bloodthirsty psychopaths. Lucifer is so proud.
But finally, he finds Adam again. Now, he's 19, and running his own flower shop. Lucifer wants to laugh at how ironic it is, but he can't deny how happy Adam looks with his new life. His complexion is healthy, he doesn't curse as much, he isn't angry, and from what Lucifer could see, he didn't had a hateful bone in his body.
This time, Lucifer couldn't stay away. He has to speak to him.
Like a fool, he turns human and walks into the store. Adam greets him warmly, and Lucifer saw he could feel the sun shining from how warm Adam's smile was.
They speak. Lucifer buys a sunflower. Lucifer compliments his store, and then he leaves. He made Adam laugh a few times and now it's playing on repeat in his head.
It hurts that Adam isn't with him. But it's a price he's willing to pay if Adam is so happy and loved.
The next idea is he's God's pet.
God recreats Eden, although a lot smaller, amd remakes Adam, placing him there. Each morning, Adam greets him before going on his business.
Eventually, God trusts Lucifer enough to introduce him to Adam, who's making a flowerchain in one of the many fields in miniEden.
God: My dear Adam. I have a friend for you.
Adam looks up at the holy light before looking ahead, he watches as a short figure steps nervously out between some trees.
He watches as the man takes off his large top hat before knealing down in front of him.
Lucifer: Uh- Hi! Hey. There. Adam. It's... lovely to meet you.
Again. Lucifer wanted to do so much more than staying a foot away from Adam, but he didn't want to spook him. His appearance shocked him more than he thought it would. Adam is basically back to his old self, pre Earth. Pre betrayal. Although, his eyes are still golden.
God: What do you think, Child?
Adam blinked before smiling: He's beautiful, father. What's his name?
Lucifer felt his heart flutter at the compliment.
Lucifer: Lucifer. And yours?
Adam chuckled: Adam! Do you want my crown? I just finished making it.
Without giving Lucifer time for a response, Adam stood and placed the crown on Lucifer's head. Lucifer smiled up at Adam.
Lucifer: It's beautiful. Thank you, Adam. And you're very beautiful, also. Perfection, action.
Adam: I like him. Can he stay?
