TW : The brothers (Michael, Raphael, Gabriel) are their own warning. Obsession. Slight Yandere. Self-hatred in Lucifer.
I hope I haven't forgotten any. Please let me know if I have.
« Lucifer, Lucifer! Raphael killed the dinosaurs! My dinosaurs! » A little angel runs towards the Seraphim, beads of saltwater streaming down her face, pursued by the infamous Raphael, suspiciously armed with a stick (at least it's not the axe from last time), himself pursued by what appears to be a furious Gabriel, as evidenced by the bright halo behind the angel's head and his ruffled wings.
« You deserve it! You said my creation was an affront to creation! » Cheeks red with anger and wings flapping, Raphael waves his stick in the air, trying to strike his sister. Unfortunately (fortunately), the attempt fails, the stick slapping his cheek with a quick whip.
A failure only made the boy's anger more explosive, and the little boy couldn't bear defeat. A failure and a remark from Aline, and that idiot dared to laugh at him? An affront! A declaration of war! Besides, those big, stupid lizards had to die! They had been there for a long time! Outraged, Raphael quickened his pace, his cheek still stinging from the slap, on which a small red swelling was already visible.
But that was without counting on the unshakeable fury of young Gabriel, who was hot on the heels of the troublemakers serving as his family. Aline and Raphael had trampled, destroyed and massacred his beautiful and unrivalled sanctuary, proclaiming his love and devotion to their Father, the Creator! Such blasphemy must be punished! With unwavering determination, Gabriel lunged forward, arms outstretched and wings flapping, his halo shining so brightly that it became indistinguishable. However, it is not Raphael who finds himself in Gabriel's arms, but a hard, perfectly polished floor, a floor that the angel does not seem very happy to be acquainted with, not to mention the bursts of laughter from Aline and Raphael at the sight of their older brother kissing the tiles.
« Ah! The fall! Aline! Did you see that? Did you see it?! Gabriel is kissing the ground! The big filthy creature! Will you be eating off the floor next time? »
« Shut up, you illiterate filth! You have tainted my sanctuary for Father! We’ll see if you’re still laughing when I drown you in holy water and atone for your sins! »
« Lucifer! Gabriel is strangling Raphael! Lucifer! Raphael is hitting Gabriel! »
A simple exhausted sigh escapes from the Seraphim's lips, unable to do anything but watch the two brothers fight while Aline snuggles up against his leg like the innocent child she is not. Between Raphael swearing a string of insults and biting Gabriel, all while turning peony red (the poor boy seems about to implode), and Gabriel pulling Raphael's hair and feathers, cursing his brother for generations to come.
What did he do to deserve such siblings?
« Lucifer? Lucifer! » Once curious, Gamigin's voice quickly turned to concern at the sight of a single tear rolling down his king's porcelain cheek, evidence of torment so intense that even Lucifer could not stifle it.
For a brief moment, she was there, by his side. They were all by his side. Gabriel, Raphael, Michael and Her. From their childish arguments to secret nights spent under the soft murmur of the wind, in the tender, cottony embrace of the clouds, observing the constellations, naming some of them with silly nicknames. Lucifer remembers all too well the countless heart attacks this quatuor nearly gave him, Michael arriving late at night crying his eyes out, screaming for monsters, because she had told him another scary story. Raphael coming to see him all smiles, a new and violent creation in his hand. Gabriel pacing his room, muttering strange prayers to their Father, his dark circles beating the pandas flat. And her. Lucifer had never been so close to losing his hair. Jumping off the highest tower in Paradise to learn to fly, what a wonderful idea! As a bonus, doing a flip at Raphael's request... These children had come close to getting the better of him several times, even though his heart had never felt so fulfilled.
Then they grew up. Too soon, too fast.
Then they changed. Too soon, too fast.
Then they drifted apart. Too soon, too fast.
The love of Gabriel towards their Father took a completely different turn, unhealthy, unbalanced, on the verge of frenzy. An obsessive fever rooted in the terror of Ali-...of his younger sister. From a gangrenous love germinates an unchanging devotion leading to the blossoming of an obsessive flower.
« God is benevolent. He cares and loves and is kinder than anyone. But God would also need to punish someone with his hands. » Words assiduously repeated by Raphael, a harmful vice gripping the angel's tainted heart. From a raging sea, a maelstrom was born, annihilating the creations that his Father had braved to love.
Michael's unwavering affection for Lucifer turned into a putrid hostility towards a younger sister still unaware of the horror that her existence would become. The tears that flowed continuously from his golden eye turned into a torrent of bitterness and sourness, rotting the heart she had once had the courage to cherish.
The revered Child. From hell to heaven, no being could equal her magnificence. She was perfect. She was unique. She was Creation. With a simple stroke of her paintbrush, she brought to life beings as powerful as they were majestic. From her art, life was born, and from life, her joy was born. Loved by all, adored by all, she knew only love and devotion.
It's all his fault. She would never have endured such suffering if he had been able to accept reality, but he hasn't and never will. If only he had stopped looking away. If only he had stopped whispering his futile prayers as a form of reassurance while his brothers' wicked behaviour grew more severe. He was nothing but a coward. A nobody. A bad brother.
Lucifer still remembers the fear consuming her once loving eyes, those cries for help, those pleas. When his hand reaches towards the sky, once his home now consumed by the gangrene of obsession, he can still feel her hand brush against his. She wept for him, begged him to take her with him in his fall. A distress he chose to ignore, a cruelty he preferred to abandon, an obsession he decided to envelop in excessive love.
Lucifer will never forget her. She will never forget him.

Finally! I'm finally done! So here's my first writting on Tumblr, I hope you like it.
I'd like to point out that English is not my first language, not at all. So, I apologise in advance for any mistakes or misunderstandings (I hope there aren't any).
Lucifer and the brothers are probably OOC. I don't have any cards for Lucifer and not much information about the brothers.
All criticism is welcome, or just simple comments.
Bonus! A cute little Beelzebub ! (^o^)
