Summary: Lucifer discovers the fallen angel he once loved (you) is in Los Angeles, reigniting a love he thought was lost forever.
A/N- I really enjoyed how this turned out. So I really hope this reaches the right audience and hope y'all enjoy reading it just as much as I loved writing it!
Lucifer Morningstar had been in love once.
Truly, disastrously, in love.
Back in the Silver City, before rebellion and rings of fire and millennia of resentment, there had been you.
A fallen angel now, but onceâyou had been everything Heaven pretended not to want. Brilliant. Gentle. Kind in a way that made the stars seem warmer when you smiled. And bloody hellâthe sort of beauty that didnât need wings to announce itself.
Lucifer, though, had been reduced to a lovesick idiot around you.
Heâd trip over his words. Heâd show up early just to pretend he wasnât waiting. Youâd steal glances across marble halls, share smiles during celestial councils, fingers brushing accidentally on purpose. Heâd make jokes just to hear you laugh. And youâd pretend not to notice how his gaze softened whenever you spoke.
And you liked him too. That wasnât a secret.
Everyone else knew it. Even Michael, one of Luciferâs brothers, had smirked a few times about it. Which meant it was definitely obvious.
Then Lucifer fell.
One moment he was screaming defiance, the next he was burning through the sky, and Heaven slammed shut behind him like a locked door.
He never saw you again.
You never saw him again.
Los Angeles. Present day.
Lucifer was lounging at the piano in his penthouse, a glass resting on top of the keys, fingers pressing random notes, tryingâbut failingâto drown out memories that never seemed to stay buried.
Maze had been gone all afternoon, which was suspicious in itself.
The elevator dinged.
Mazikeen stepped out, boots heavy, leather creaking, and a wicked little smirk already playing on her lips. She twirled a knife lazily between her fingers, eyes bright with mischief.
Lucifer didnât look up from the piano but said, âUnless youâve brought me good news, bad news, or a particularly violent distraction, Iâm not in the mood.â
Maze leaned against the bar. âI found the Juliet to your Romeo.â
Lucifer froze.
Slowly, he turned, eyebrows arching. âI donât recall asking you to quote Shakespeare, darling. Also, Romeo was an idiot.â
Maze snorted, still flipping the knife around. âYeah? Still died for love.â
That got his attention.
âWhat exactly are you implying?â he asked carefully, centuries of practiced indifference cracking just a little.
Maze grinned wider. âThey remember you.â
Lucifer was about to pick up his glass, but it slipped from his hands and shattered. He stared down at the shards, then back at Maze. âThatâs not funny.â
âIâm not joking,â Maze said, flipping the knife and catching it by the handle with ease. âThey fell too. Long after you. Different reasons. Different messes. But still here.â
His breath caught, something painfully unfamiliar tightening in his chest.
âNo,â he said, voice low. âThey wouldnâtâthey canâtââ
âThey live in Los Angeles,â Maze continued, entirely too pleased with herself. âYouâre welcome.â
Lucifer laughed, sharp and disbelieving. âRight. And next youâll tell me dear olâ Dad is hosting brunch.â
Maze rolled her eyes. âThey heard your name. Lucifer Morningstar. Didnât believe it was you. Said they didnât want to get their hopes up in case the universe was playing some sick joke.â
He swallowed.
That sounded like you.
âThey said,â Maze added more softly, âthat if it really was you⌠they didnât know if they could survive seeing you again.â
Silence filled the penthouse.
Lucifer turned back to the piano, staring down at the keys, running a hand through his hair, jaw tight. Memories slammed into himâevery one-night stand meant to erase your face, every reckless indulgence, every lie heâd told himself. Even Eve. Sweet, eager Eve, who had adored him for who he used to be.
Heâd said Eve was his first love.
Heâd lied.
âYou know,â he said quietly, âI went to Hell thinking Iâd lost everything. Turns out, Iâve just been avoiding the one thing that ever mattered.â
Maze watched him carefully. âYou gonna run this time?â
He straightened, eyes burning with something dangerously close to hope.
âNo,â Lucifer said. âIf youâre here⌠if youâre really hereâŚâ
A slow, wicked smile curved his lipsâless playboy, more fallen angel.
âThen I intend to remind you exactly why Heaven was never the same without us.â
Mazeâs lips curled into a smirk. âGood. Because youâre stronger than before.â
Lucifer glanced at the elevator, heart pounding for real, for the first time in eons.
âSo am I,â he murmured.
And somewhere in Los Angeles, a fallen angel felt the universe shiftâ and wondered if hope was finally worth the risk.
