It’s so pleasant and quiet. It had been several months since Lucifer had felt so calm, nor had he slept in. Sighing with ease, the Avatar of Pride snuggles into the warm arms of his lover who is well awake.
Diavolo gave him the best gift ever for his birthday: two nights at the Castle, his little brothers and MC supervised by Barbatos, all the paperwork for the week has already been done and it’s the others who are taking care of the ball for the evening.
Lucifer has only two things to do: relax and enjoy the warm body of his Prince.
While the Avatar of Pride still seems to be deeply asleep, Diavolo softly offers him kisses on the head. To this tenderness, Lucifer smiles and opens his eyes gently. Diavolo’s arms and wings embrace him with love and protection; the heat that emanates from his body relaxes his muscles; the dragon’s breathing is slow and calm, inviting him to let himself be rocked on his muscular chest.
There could be a meteorite falling somewhere in the Devildom, Lucifer could never get up because of the comfort offered by his warm and gentle lover.
"Lucifer, did I wake you up?" asks Diavolo.
“No, it’s just habit... But I don’t plan to get up. I also forbid you from getting out of bed.”
"It reassures me, because I was going to keep you in my arms for a few more hours." murmurs the Prince and kissing his lover’s head stuck to his chest. "Happy birthday my love."
Diavolo leans in to kiss his lips and Lucifer softly answers. If only he could wake up every morning like this, it would be wonderful. But Lucifer knows that’s impossible for a lot of reasons.
"As a first gift, would you like a massage on the neck and shoulders?"
Lucifer closes his eyes and lets Diavolo touch his neck, pressing at certain painful points gently. Lucifer feels him makes small circular movements on his skin to relax his muscles, and Diavolo brings his fingers gradually down to his shoulders. Lucifer moans with pleasure and pain, surprising them. The Avatar’s face turns a red hue, embarrassed in front of his own lover. To avoid his honey eyes, Lucifer hides his face in Diavolo’s chest without a word.
"Wouldn’t you like a real massage? At least for a few minutes, to relax?"
"Lucifer, let me pamper you more... It’s your birthday, you deserve it."
Lucifer sighs but accepts Diavolo’s proposal. With his lover, he can show a few weaknesses; it is not a shame. Only with Diavolo can he be vulnerable, because Lucifer knows that he will not mock him, nor will he lose esteem. The Prince reached out to him when he was down, and he never gave up on him.
Diavolo moves to let Lucifer lie on his stomach, on the mattress. The Prince stands above him, admiring his neck, his back, his scar, his hips...
"Sorry, I was distracted."
Unfortunately, he doesn’t have any massage oils in his room so it will be something simple. Diavolo settles over Lucifer, avoiding leaning too much on him, and he places his large hands on his shoulders. Gently, he presses on them. Lucifer completely lets himself be pushed around, never stopping the Prince once.
Diavolo initially focused on the back of his neck and shoulders, but he goes further down. He gently presses between the shoulder blades and Lucifer moans -again-, Diavolo kisses his neck to calm him. The action has the desired effect and Lucifer relaxes.
Diavolo doesn’t know why Lucifer is embarrassed by this kind of thing, even when they are just the two of them. But the Prince finds this adorable.
“Diavolo, could you take care of this area later?”
"As you wish. Would you like me to go lower or back to the shoulders?"
"The shoulders." he says, smiling with ease.
"Your wish is my command, my love."
Lucifer’s smile widens and Diavolo again places his hands on his shoulders. Since he has no oil, he avoids scrubbing his skin too much. Diavolo knows that the Avatar of Pride has delicate skin. He presses with his palms and fingers, crushing gently the tense muscles.
Lucifer loves it. That someone takes care of him, even when he struggles to admit he needs it.
Slowly, the Avatar begins to doze and the Prince does nothing to wake him up. However, Diavolo stops when he hears snoring slightly. Lucifer has fallen asleep.
Diavolo smiles and kisses his neck, wishing him a good nap. To accompany his lover, he lies down next to him, takes his hand and surrounds him with his wings. The Prince thought he had been too abrupt since Lucifer began to move, but the Avatar did not wake up and only changed places to stick to his lover. Diavolo takes him in his arms and helps to set him against his chest -again-, the warmth and breathing of the Prince soothing Lucifer.
Few know how clingy Lucifer can be when he sleeps. The dragon’s pupils dilate, admiring the calm and relaxed face of his lover stuck to his chest once more. It’s his instinct to observe and protect his treasure, to keep him close to him and cherish him. Lucifer, the Morning Star and the Avatar of Pride.
He is the most beautiful treasure of the Three Realms.

I wanted to write a little fic for Lucifer’s birthday and pridemonth ! <3 I’m trying to recover from the month of May, which was very difficult. June is starting rather well, so I hope to be on the right track!
I wanted to write something longer, but it will be for another time. Happy birthday Lucifer!
Let’s spare a thought for Barbatos, who must be a babysitter of 6 irresponsible demons and MC lol (seeing this future, maybe that’s why Barbatos is stepping on him in Sinner's Choice lolol)
Lucifer: *is embarrassed that Diavolo would hear him squeaking when he massages him* you didn’t hear anything.
Diavolo: Lucifer, we’ve been together for centuries and I spent all night taking care of you intimately. Your moans are the most beautiful music I have ever heard.
Lucifer: *completely red* Dia!
Diavolo: *smiles* you are so adorable when you act like this. I love you.
