Diavolo to Mc: *nervous* L-let me see if I understand. *pause and take a deep breath* At no time did you talk to Karlheinz about bringing Lilith back even if it meant resigning from the student council and your pacts, and not only that, they talked about whether you knew a person capable of being the nanny of his "little children"
Shin and Kino: *laughs* A nanny...! *laughter*
Mc calm: Well... he also said that... he would like to have me as a wife and give his children a brother
Ruki and Carla: *serious*
Shin: *angry*
Mc: I told him no!
Kino to Mc: *Laughter* You're heartbreaker
Ayato: *Annoyed* Tks! That old man doesn't stop bothering us even when he's absent. Hey Kino! You are also his son, no?!
Mc: *firmly and holds the vampire's hand* Ayato. I made it clear to him that I will not marry him
Ayato: *irritated, but deep down relieved* I KNOW!! … *reciprocates the handshake*
Shin: *mumbles looks at Ayato* son of a-…
Lucifer: What?! B-but Lilith said…
Lilith: *nervous for having everyone present watching her* I-I… Karlheinz only told me to enjoy my new life next to my brothers… I… I may have misinterpreted the conversation between the two… *Goes to Lucifer* I was angry with Mc for that and… I was a little resentful that she paid more attention to Simeon instead of you when she found out about his punishment…
Carla, Shin, Ayato, Kino, Ruki and Mc:… .
Diavolo: *Shocked*
Lucifer: *distressed* L-Lilith!
Lilith: *on the verge of tears* S-sorry! It was a mistake!
Kino sadistic smile: Eh~ You call that cruelty a “mistake”?
Lucifer: I trust you! I-I told Lord Diavolo and he saw it as the truth because I believed you!
Diavolo: If I had asked Lilith personally… I would have known it was a lie…
Kino: *sadistic laughs* Huh~~~? Do you really think so? Not only did you have that option, if you demons said you “love” Mc so much you could ask her or give her time to talk instead of acting on impulse. We would do it.
Ayato: Kino!
Kino:*pretending innocence* Yes brother?
Lucifer and Diavolo: *They notice the message between the lines* You…?!
Lilith: B-but my descendant came back! *looks excitedly at Mc* You came back! You came back because you still love my brothers!
Shin was going to speak, but Carla silenced him with his look
Ayato and Kino: *mocking laughter*
Ruki:… *looks surreptitiously at Mc*
Mc: *stoic without doubting or wavering* No.
Lilith: What?
Mc: I didn't come for your brothers and that love died the moment they were willing to do all that.
Diavolo: I-I…
Mc: Prince Diavolo, I suggest you don't try to blame someone else or me like you did with the "ring", you were the one who signed, being in all your senses and voluntarily, my expulsion from the RAD.
Diavolo: W-we can solve it... you can come back-
Mc calmly: No. I'm not going back and I'm not interested, as you said before kicking me out of the Devildom, I have nothing to do with your kingdom anymore. I only came at Karlheinz's request, it's the least I owe him for turning Simeon into an angel again... besides... *smiles* thanks to him, I met them *refers to vampires and first blood*
Shin and Ayato: *surprised and blushing*
Carla and Ruki: *smile*
Kino:*recording the moment with his phone* I recorded it!
Lilith: B-But…
Mc: Look, what's done is done, the only thing we can do now is learn the lesson of “listening before reacting” apart from having a formal and professional relationship, also with you Lilith, you will say that you are my ancestor, but it is obvious that you are more sister than grandmother, besides that the Lilith of my bloodline was a human who died a long time ago and not the one I have in front of me, maybe we will become friends, but I can't guarantee it. Oh! And it would be good to go, the others have been without supervision for a long time and Reiji can't handle them all, besides I want to eat Luke's sweets again before Kanato eats them all.
*Silence*
Shin, Ayato and Kino: *laughs*
Kino: Well, Well, the bride is more interested in the sweets than this impromptu meeting *turns off his phone* Shall we go?
Diavolo: Yes... you can go... I need... *serious tone* to talk to Lucifer and Lilith in private.
Mc, the first bloods and vampires get up from their seats and leave the office, Kino was the last to leave, but Diavolo stops him
Diavolo: Wait! Kino right?
Kino: Yes, demon prince?
Diavolo: When you said “We would do it”… in what context did you say that?
Kino: Oh… Wasn’t it obvious? Well... There are many things that can happen between a vampire and a human, but our context *smirks* is very popular in human stories today.
Lucifer angry: Son of-
Diavolo: *angry* Lucifer. Shut. Up.
*At the party*
Reiji: What were you talking about?
Ayato: *Angry* He wanted to marry Mc and give us a brother!
idc how incompetent crowley is, MC DIES IN OBEY ME. where was lilith then? huh? smh 😭😭
Sorry for the spelling mistakes, English is not my native language and I use Google translator
Oh boy…a short question and a lot of what I would like to say.
I’m going to warn you from the beginning, I don’t like Lilith, maybe when I talk about Lilith I’m mostly influenced by that.
I may get hate from some people, but that's my opinion.
First let’s talk about our favorite director
Crowley
Crowley could be... that... Crowley... a director of a prestigious academy, somewhat irresponsible and relaxed, perhaps also childish, come on, even I sometimes question how he could be a director and I like the theories that he is up to something, but he has done more things by Yuu than Lilith by Mc
Crowley since the prologue of the game has helped Yuu, that is, he could have easily thrown him out on the street, he even said that he would not do it and housing him in Ramshackle was the best option, I know what many will say "Crowley could have housed him in one of the dorms” or “You were able to accommodate him in his house” that is to say, come on!
• Leave a person without magic in a dormitory full of magic users? We are talking about NRC students, even Ace and Deuce were proof that they were going to mess with Yuu sooner or later, whatever the dormitory they would bother him as soon as he entered, that would be like leaving a cow in the tiger cage that They haven't eaten for a week.
• Secondly, let a stranger stay in your house? Oh really? We know that Yuu would not steal from Crowley or hurt him, but in those moments of the prologue Yuu for Crowley was just a STRANGER who arrived at NRC by mistake, nothing more, I ask you, would you allow a stranger to stay in your house? If you manage to do it well for yourself, but I wouldn't do it for safety reasons, the director may be very “kind” as he says, but not naive, plus he was going to live there for free, of course he had to do one or another errand, but Yuu accepted that (something that is repeated in several of the books and I will mention it later), and even allowed Grim to stay and attend classes.
From my point of view, complaining that Ramshackle has not been remodeled would be abusing the director’s generosity, that is, first the octatrium had to go to, let’s say, fix it a little, so that later the VDC group would donate their money and even then it could not be completely remodeled, Crowley is the director, not a billionaire to waste money (That’s Kalim), and the ghost thing is very questionable and negligent on his part
As for Crowley sending him on errands, come on, in the prologue Crowley made it a condition for him to do some work or another and Yuu accepted, in which case Yuu complained, he accepted it from the beginning so no matter what. Would have to make. Yes, they usually seem like blackmail, but in the end in some of them Crowley gives him a prize. In book 2 it allows him to participate together with Grim (remember that Grim is a beast and Yuu is a person without magic, the mere fact that both appear on open television as NRC students could harm the reputation of the academy) in the magifht despite that Ramshackle did not have the seven students, in book 4 (here Crowley leaves a lot to be desired, he goes on vacation and leaves the Ramshackle duo at the academy) he gives him an emergency phone and a banquet as a reward for doing the errand. , and in book 5 he gives you FREE tickets to invite other people to the VDC
Despite all the problems that Yuu and Grim have caused… despite the fact that they have been given many reasons… despite the fact that at the end of book 5 and beginning of book 6 Grim showed himself to be a danger to EVERYONE… Crowley has not thrown them out on the street and has treated them as much as part of the staff as students, I dare say that he sees them as his right hands to whom he can entrust the jobs that only they could do as in book 2. So that they would find out who is ruining the event and in book 3 entrusting them with the task to help him so that Azul does not extort him again… that, my friends, is called trust, something so precious that it is difficult to obtain and easy to lose… and Until the moment Crowley and the duo have a relationship of mutual trust, it has its ups and downs of course. What relationship doesn’t? And Crowley won’t be the best tutor/guardian and will ridicule him, but at least I can’t deny that he has done good things for Ramshackle.
Shit! I've been writing about Crowley for almost two pages, I'd better cut this short on Crowley to talk about the ancestor.
Lilith
Ahh... Lilith... as I told you at the beginning, I don't like Lilith, in fact, I dare say that Lilith was the greatest evil that could have happened to Mc, I will try to argue and show my points with the least amount of rudeness and anger possible
I don't know where to start with Lilith MY GOD! She did a lot and at the same time nothing. How is that possible? In order not to make this long, I will only talk about the first season (although in the others it is practically not even mentioned) and I will talk about it as an ancestor
Shit…
I still have a hard time believing that Lilith is portrayed as a good ancestor, she literally USED her descendant to solve her brothers' problems, in most of season 1 she is only mentioned, come on, the one who is not there (when she is It is), it only appears when Mc goes to the attic to see who freed Belphegor. Surprise! Lilith manifests her power so that Mc can enter the attic and Belphegor ends up hanging her. Congratulations Lilith! You indirectly killed your descendant! How are you not going to demonstrate again to stop your genocidal brother?
She revived Mc without asking her a “Are you okay?” or a “I apologize on behalf of my brothers” she only told her to help her brothers because she chose her! That is, HELLO?! Your brother killed your descendant in one of the most horrible ways to die, AT LEAST ASK HER HOW SHE IS FEELING BEFORE ORDERING HER TO HELP THEM BECAUSE THAT IS HER REASON FOR SHE BEING THERE! No more I’m not saying that Mc had a strong trauma or existential crisis from that because the story doesn’t delve into it! IN THE NAME OF GOD, JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!
Solomon from “What in the hell is bad?” he apologized to his descendant in the middle of a fight! Why didn't Lilith even say “I'm sorry”?!?! Michael had to go and apologize to Mc for all the shit she went through!!! That's how it is!! Michael!! And there are people who talk about Michael as if he were a monster when Lilith and most of the siblings are the real monsters!!! Or did they forget what the brothers' initial treatment of Mc was like and how RADICAL they changed when they found out that Mc was a descendant of Lilith?!?! Belphegor literally went from wanting to kill her to fighting with his brothers for sitting next to her, the fact that he feels guilty does not free him from his actions and it would be extremely surprising if Mc does not end up with another trauma because of it.
I’m already digressing… But that’s my point of view. In short, Crowley may be incompetent, but at least sometimes he does good things and takes trouble with Yuu, unlike Lilith who does nothing apart from sacrificing her descendant for the brothers, I don’t understand why there are people who defend Lilith and they throw shit at Crowley
A collection of loosely connected Simeon-centric fanfics because it's almost his birthday and because I love him.
1. Heaven is eerily quiet. Later he would look back on this day and liken it to a calm before the storm. Or alternatively, what Simeon did to get demoted.
Warnings: none I can see, Word Count: 3.1k
[??99.] [next]
Simeon has always been good at reading people. Their expressions and the things that go unsaid are like a language to him, one he is highly adept at speaking. It's something he is known for amongst the angels. A running joke is to never lie in front of Simeon for he's nearly impossible to fool. So it comes as a bit of a surprise that Lucifer should bother trying to feign ignorance when he asks if something is bothering him.
The other angel frowns briefly and turns away before his expression clears and he tries for a smile but it lacks warmth. "No, nothing's wrong. Just thinking."
About what, Simeon doesn't ask. He's learnt not to push past Lucifer's unspoken limits ages ago. He's stubborn like that, refusing to speak unless he absolutely wants to. So instead Simeon lays back in the grass with him listening to the distant sounds around them.
There's not much to listen to though; a gentle breeze ruffling the trees and someone singing somewhere but that's about it. It is a bit strange because Heaven is never without the noise of hearty conversation and laughter. A few arguments or two and much music and … that's when Simeon realizes what's wrong.
"Where are your brothers?" he feels himself frowning. There's the sound of feathers shifting but nothing else. Lucifer has chosen to remain silent.
Odd reaction to such a simple question, Simeon thinks.
At the back of his mind, Simeon acknowledges that something is very wrong and it bothers him that the information of what is being withheld. It feels like an absence of trust, one that stings in a way he wishes to analyze. But he never gets the opportunity to do that.
Raphael has arrived, cape billowing behind him in the wind and a spear in hand. Briefly, Simeon wonders if he goes everywhere with that thing.
"Hark." he greets. "I've been looking for you, Simeon."
"Oh? What for?"
"A message from Michael." He pulls an envelope from the folds of his garment and hands it over. As Simeon collects it, the other angel sits in the grass, laying his weapon beside him.
"Ooh, official summons," Simeon laughs. "Sounds serious. Am I in trouble?"
He's only teasing but the way Lucifer's breath catches makes him think that there's some truth to the casual statement.
"I'm not in trouble, am I?" he repeats at Raphael.
"You're not."
Simeon hears the rest of the sentence that goes unsaid. "But someone else is."
Are one of Lucifer's brothers in trouble? Simeon thinks to himself. Maybe that's why he seems so disturbed.
Ignoring his train of thought, Simeon pulls open the note and reads it. It starts off with the initial formalities and pleasantries of summons before it tapers out to a more informal and brief tone. The message is straightforward; Michael wants Simeon to meet him in three hours and help him check on an offending angel that has recently been imprisoned. He promises more details when Simeon arrives.
With a sigh, Simeon re-seals the note and pockets it. None of the others ask him what it says. Summons are meant for the receiver alone. All three of them are silent for quite some time, watching the grass and trees dance. It's Lucifer that breaks this silence with one long sigh.
Raphael hums thoughtfully in response. "You seem somber."
"I am somber," Lucifer replies. "Though that might not be the right word for it."
Simeon glances at him. His eyes are closed in what would normally be a peaceful expression if his eyebrows weren't so creased.
"Worried," Simeon offers. "Is that a more fitting word?"
Lucifer says nothing but his frown worsens and Simeon knows that he's hit the nail on the head. That feeling of wrongness multiples, spreading across his body until he's filled with the urge to do something about it.
"And what would ease your worry?"
Lucifer considers this for a second, eyes still closed. "How about music?"
"Music always does much to soothe the soul," Raphael agrees with a slow nod.
And without being prompted, Raphael begins to sing, softly at first. The wind carries his voice up past the trees and outwards from the garden. Lucifer sighs an even softer sigh and Simeon looks up to the clear blue sky feeling as though there's more to be said but he's not sure what.
***
Perhaps as a way to get some semblance of privacy, Michael's office is far away from the rest of the rooms in the quarters in which the other high ranking angels reside. The only other door nearby is Lucifer's, which is locked and Simeon can only assume he's still outside. Usually, at this time of the day, he's working alongside Michael.
Simeon adds that to his ever growing list of oddities he's spotted.
When Simeon knocks on the great doors of Michael's office, the sound echoes down the empty hall and a voice from within calls him in. He pushes the door open, blinking his eyes as he tries to adjust to the surprising darkness in the office. It seems Michael has drawn the blinds shut. He only does that when he wants to think deeply about something.
"Ah, Simeon." Michael welcomes. "Sit please."
Simeon squints. His eyes aren't used to such darkness but he manages to spot out Michael's silhouette moving from his desk to the wall behind. A moment later, the light suddenly returns as the blinds are lifted. The first thing Simeon sees is Michael standing by the window with an apologetic smile.
"Sorry," he says, head tilting to the side. "I sometimes forget that you can't see well in the dark."
"It's no problem."
He takes his seat in the wooden chair by Michael's desk, watching as the angel shuffles back to his desk and sits heavily in his chair. He scans his tabletop with thoughtful eyes but when he turns his gaze up to meet Simeon's, his expression is heavy.
"Lilith has been imprisoned." He's straight to the point, as usual.
Simeon sighs a long sigh meant to stabilize himself. So this is what's got Lucifer acting so strangely. Perfectly understandable.
"What for?" Simeon asks. He needs to know. Of all the angels he's known, Lilith has been among one of the least troublesome. What could she have possibly done to warrant such a punishment.
"She tried to meddle with the lifespan of her human lover," Michael says, his voice sounding more serious than Simeon has ever heard him. "And succeeded. Father is not happy about it and he's considering his next course of action."
The silent remainder of the sentence hangs in the air, as though Michael is unsure if he should continue speaking.
"But…" Simeon prompts.
"But, in the meantime she's being held so she doesn't try to escape," Michael finishes. "But she's proving difficult and seems not to want to live until her judgement day."
Simeon frowns.
"She's refusing to drink even a drop of the holy water we give her and her life wastes away with every passing minute."
"How long has she been there?"
"Two days."
Simeon is not the type to swear but at that moment, he feels that if he should, it would be somewhat appropriate.
"Lucifer knows, doesn't he?" Simeon asks instead.
A nod from Michael is all he needs as confirmation.
"And the others?"
"They don't know. You're the only one I've told."
Simeon blinks. "Why?"
"I need you to go check on her. She won't even move when I'm there. I would send Lucifer but…"
"You don't trust him?"
"It's not that," Michael shakes his head. "He won't speak to me either."
Both men go silent, staring at each other as they contemplate the situation they've found themselves in. Just a few days ago, Lilith and Belphegor had been happily planning a trip to the human world. Simeon remembers how happy they looked with their heads ducked together and their faces alight with bright smiles.
Had she been planning this since then? Or were her actions a spur of the moment?
A loud bang sound startles Simeon out of his thoughts and he flinches, instinctively whipping his head in the direction of the sound; the entrance to Michael's office. Standing there, as though summoned by Simeon's thoughts of him, is Belphegor. His right arm leans heavily against the door he had slammed open and he has a fierce expression on his face that Simeon has only seen a few times before.
"Where is she?" he says lowly.
Behind him is the angel Uriel, one of Michael's associates, in casual garb, looking absolutely frustrated. Her face is red and she's heaving like she's just returned from a workout.
"I tried to stop him but he can be shockingly fast when he wants to be," the angel says, glaring at the back of Belphegor's head.
"Belphegor!" Michael exclaims with faux excitement. "We were just talking about that. Why don't you take a seat and we can talk?"
"Cut it," Belphegor growls. "Where. Is. She?"
"That's what he kept saying at the gates," Uriel chirps, folding her arms over her chest. "I think he might be broken."
"Thank you, Uriel," Michael placates. He gives her a look intended to calm her down and she responds to it with a small frown. "I'll handle it from here."
With a huff, she gives Belphegor one last withering look before she turns around and leaves, her clothes billowing behind her. As the door shuts behind her and her footsteps recede, Belphegor begins to speak.
"I know you have Lilith in holding!" he points accusingly at Michael, marching forward. "I haven't seen her since yesterday and Lucifer is acting strange. Let her go!"
Michael sighs. "Clearly, you and I need to talk. In the meantime," he turns back to Simeon. "Why don't you go to Gabriel. He'll give you what you need."
Belphegor's gaze jumps to Simeon like he's just noticed him there.
"Of course," Simeon replies, pushing up from the chair.
He wonders what Michael will say to Belphegor. How will he explain why his sister is locked up? But whatever he says, Simeon knows Belphegor will take it very badly.
He walks out the door and turns back once to give both angels a look. Belphegor is standing to his full height and he has his arms folded. He towers over Michael, who is sitting with a frown on his face and his lips pursed, like he means to intimidate him. Simeon shuts the door and lets out a breath.
***
Simeon walks out of Gabriel's office with a frown on his face. He keeps his head low and looks at nothing but the ground as he gets lost in his thoughts. The key to Lilith's cell is cold and heavy in his hand. It mimics the burden of worry he is carrying.
A part of him feels wrong about going to check on Lilith. It shouldn't be him. He wants to turn around, find Lucifer and give him the key instead. He's closer to her, cares for her like his other brothers. Simeon is just another angel and he doubts he'll have any better success than Michael.
His wings ruffle anxiously and he pauses, seriously considering going to Lucifer instead. Afterall, he doesn't seem to have a problem talking to Simeon. They'd spoken earlier, what's the harm?
But at that moment, Simeon hears the dull sound of something falling to the ground and he turns around. He finds nothing obviously out of place. He's in the middle of the many orchards in Heaven so all he finds are the apple trees around, the wind rustling through their leaves. The tree closest to Simeon in particular, rustles more than the others.
There's an apple in the grass that has fallen from the branches of that tree.
He hums thoughtfully and continues his walk, this time more alert than before.
Now that he's paying attention, Simeon picks up the telltale signs of someone following him. He can hear careful footsteps, so faint that one wouldn't notice unless they were looking for it. From the corner of his eyes, he sees the edge of a wing hiding behind the walls of a building when he crosses the street to get to the prison gates.
As he speaks to the guard angels, asking for permission to enter, he notices movement in the trees by the prison gates. And as he walks into the darkened building, following the guard's directions of where Lilith's cell is, he picks up the lingering scent of cinnamon mixing in with the rainy smell of the building and Simeon knows who is following him.
It's Lucifer.
Of course, it is. Who else would it be? Simeon is not in the least bit surprised. There's no way he would stay away from Lilith for too long, especially if he thinks he can help her.
And there in the hallway, surrounded by cold stone, Simeon has the sudden, abrupt realization. One that hits him like lightning and forces him to stop walking. Lucifer has been planning this for quite some time now. If his brothers are in a state of panic, fearing for their sister's fate, he would be with them by now and offering comfort. But he's not, which can only mean one thing.
He has a plan to do something about his imprisoned sister.
That's why he lingered around in the garden. It's why he refused to talk about what was bothering him. Maybe he's behind Belphegor's sudden appearance in Michael's office. A distraction, perhaps?
It is obvious that Simeon is simply playing a role in Lucifer's plan and his role heavily relies on him not knowing what Lucifer is doing.
"I know you're following me," Simeon calls out. "You're not as quiet as you seem to think."
There's a brief moment where the sound of breathing ceases as if the younger angel is holding his breath. Like a deer stilling to sense danger. He must think there is none because out from the shadows steps Lucifer looking more unsure than Simeon has ever seen him.
"What was your plan anyway?" Simeon says with a smile hoping to put him at ease. "How were you going to collect the key from me?"
"I wasn't sure. Yet." Lucifer answers and without a doubt, Simeon knows he would have done anything. Whatever it took.
It's a good thing it won't get to that point, isn't it?
Simeon beckons him closer. "Come. Let's go see your sister."
Lucifer looks surprised for a brief moment but eventually moves to Simeon's side. Together, they walk, neither saying anything but their silence speaking a thousand words. They wander past cells, most of them empty until they reach one close to the end of the hall, just before the stairs that lead higher up. Within the darkness of the cold room, Lilith is curled up. She must be asleep because she stays still until Lucifer rushes to the door and calls out for her.
"Are you okay?" His voice is hoarse.
She doesn't reply but instead slowly uncurls herself and looks up at her brother as though to confirm it's really him. After a few seconds, she crawls forward. Her robes are stained with grime and dirt and from the dim light around, Simeon can see dried tear tracks on her face.
"What are they going to do to me?" she questions shakily, glancing from Simeon to her brother. "They're going to kick me out aren't they."
"No," Lucifer says strongly. "Not if I can help it."
"But you can't," Lilith's voice breaks.
Simeon knows she's right. Call it intuition or simply a deep understanding of the workings of the Seraphs, especially Michael, but he knows that no matter what happens, Lilith isn't returning to the Heavens. She will be exiled.
He looks between the faces of the two knelt on the floor and he reaches a decision in his mind.
Wordlessly, he steps forward and skids the key into the lock of Lilith's cell. There's a soft click and a jingle when the mechanism releases and he pulls the door outwards. She will have to leave Heaven but better it be on her terms.
Both siblings turn their faces to him and time stills the way it usually does when Simeon's intuition has picked up on something important. He can feel it in his bones, sure as the sky is blue, that once Lilith steps out of that door she's serving as a catalyst. A catalyst for what, he doesn't know yet. But he's sure it will reveal itself in due time.
"I suggest you both get moving," he says calmly. "It won't be long before someone notices your absence."
"What are you doing?" Lucifer looks completely confused and on a normal day, Simeon would tease him about his expression but the day has been anything but normal so he doesn't bother.
"I'm giving you the means you need. I know you followed me here to get her out. I'm helping you do that."
Lilith catches up before her brother does, quickly rising to her feet and rushing to Simeon. She pulls him into a hug and he leans into it.
"Thank you," she says warmly.
When she pulls away, Simeon finds Lucifer still looking confused.
"But you'll get in trouble for this," he says. His voice is low, imploring.
Simeon says nothing.
"Come with us," Lucifer continues, leaning forward like he means to touch Simeon. "If you stay, you'll get punished for treason."
Simeon considers this for a moment. Treason would get him kicked right out of Heaven, or worse, if he's found guilty. And should he go with Lucifer … he's not sure what would happen to him and that uncertainty is what keeps him in place.
Better a danger I know than one I don't, Simeon thinks to himself.
"I'll think of something to say," he says outloud. "Afterall, you've always been faster than me. I'm sure Michael will understand that I had simply been taken by surprise. Especially with no evidence to prove otherwise."
Realization dawn's on Lucifer's face. "Ah."
"Ah," Simeon repeats with a small smile. "I'll be fine, you'll see."
Lilith tugs on his arm, indicating that they need to leave but Lucifer lingers for a few seconds longer, looking unsure. He wants to say something more. Simeon can see it written on his face.
Instead he settles for a "good luck, Simeon." and follows his sister down the hall in the opposite direction from where they had come. Simeon watches their retreating figures until they fade into the darkness before he turns to take his leave.
As he walks away, Simeon stops to glance down the hall one last time and he wonders if he should have gone with them. If he's made the right decision. But there's no time for regret. Not now at least.
Now he has a runaway prisoner to report and a few secrets to keep.
Y’know- I want to make a Alive Lilith AU Blog just for the fun of it and wanted to know if some of you are interested? Cjsjcdjcdhchs it’s just a thought so I can at least organized this AU to those that are interested XD
