Chapter 13

Your eyes snapped open and your body jerked a little as you woke up. You felt like your heart was about to burst from your rib cage. Your face felt flushed as you immediately looked to where you remembered Lucifer was last night.

An empty spot.

You let out a some-what relieved sighed and laid back, closing your eyes. You took a few moments to collect yourself and let the mild panic you felt subside.

'' You groaned and turned to smother your face into your pillow. ''

""

"Shut up, Venom." You literally rolled out of bed, almost falling to the floor if Venom hadn't of caught your fall. You silently pondered if Lucifer left your apartment, and if he did it once you fell asleep or when the sun rose. That thought slightly saddened you but you shook it away. "It was just him comforting me, nothing much else."

"" Venom laughed while you walked out of your bedroom.

"Parasite!" You shouted.

"That is a weird saying good morning." You stopped in your tracks when you heard Lucifer. He was currently lounging on your couch, his phone in hand. He was smirking at you before he swung his legs off the couch.

"Sorry, I was shouting at Venom, he is a bit loud in the morning." You laughed nervously, hoping he wouldn't pop out and say something.

"" He cackled but you were thankful for his loyalty.

"Do we have any plans today?" You ask.

"It is Chloe's day off, so that means it is our day off." He sauntered over to you. "How much of L.A. have you experienced?"

"Not... a whole lot."

"Brilliant. Today I will be taking you on a trip to my favorite spots." Lucifer clapped his hands together and went back to lounging on your couch. "Get dressed and we will be on our way, darling."

You replied with a somewhat quiet 'yes' and darted back into your room. Your eyes scanned your closet and you picked out clothes that were comfortable. You figured Lucifer and you would be either walking around or in his car, so you threw on your favorite shirt, bottoms and shoes. You glanced in the mirror you had hanging on your closet door and styled your hair to your liking.

You walk back out your room and stop dead in your tracks.

"Are... are you eating my poptarts?" You asked, a bit confused and a bit mad.

"Yes, they are quite good surprising. " Lucifer finished the bite and smiled, crumbs still clinging onto his stubble. You roll your eyes and walk up to him, taking note of his now wide eyes. "You aren't truly mad are you? I can always buy you-"

Your thumb right next to his mouth interrupt him as you swiped away the poptart remnants from his face. "Can't have the Devil walking around in public with crumbs all over his face now can we?" You chuckled and went to grab your keys and wallet.

Unbeknownst by you, Lucifer was watching you with wide eyes. His fingers were barely touching where your thumb was by his mouth. A faint blush began to grow on his cheeks as he watched you walk towards the door. Quickly, the devil snapped out of his state before you turned back to face him, his cocky persona back on full display.

Just because you didn't catch it, didn't mean a certain alien wasn't peaking out of your body.

------

You and Lucifer were walking down the beach, he seemed very excited to show you this particular beach. So far he has just taken you to many, many sight seeing destinations and good places for food, but this beach seemed like a more personal spot for him. He came to a spot and gestured to the empty area in front of him.

"This," He began, "is where I burned my wings once. A big middle finger to father. I had Maze cut them off for me."

"What did they look like?" You asked, trying to imagine him with an array of colors for feathers.

You watched him glance around on the beach before his attention was back on you. "They look like this." You watched his body move in a twitch like motion and suddenly, out sprouted to enormous, pearly white wings from his back. You gazed at them in awe before he tucked them back away to wherever they were hidden before.

"" Venom shouted, while he struggled to keep himself from coming out in excitement. ""

"Both Venom and I find them gorgeous, but I thought you said they were cut off?"

"They were." He rolled his eyes and gestured for you to keep walking with him. "Its really a long story but I somehow woke up once with them in the desert, lost my devil face, dealt with some self-actualization and got my face back blah-blah-blah..."

"Pretty wings and a scary devil face. You are officially cooler than Venom and I."

"I'd say having an alien that the devil wasn't aware of existing is cooler than this." Lucifer smiled. Venom seemed to like that comment from him. Things went to a comfortable silence between the two of you as you both continued walking down the beach. You watched as small waves crashed into the sand, wind gently blowing salty air through your hair. It was a peaceful moment.

You watched Lucifer from the corner of your eye, taking in his handsome side profile and also his disposition. He was hard to read, but you could tell there was some peacefulness in his mind. His face seemed genuinely relaxed as well as his body. You wondered what he was thinking at this moment. Humans tend to have complex thoughts but you wondered what a celestial being was thinking about.
