Angels - Lucifer x Reader

This time you were in deep trouble. Over time you had pissed off the angels and the demons enough times, but never at the same time over the same thing.

The hunter had become the hunted and you were running out of places to turn. It had all been over some little amulet, that had been more trouble than it had been worth, so you locked it away, not realising its full worth.

So now you were wanted by all sides. You couldn’t ask the brothers for help, they didn’t need to get dragged into this mess. You found an abandoned warehouse, to rest for the night.

You lay inside a circle of salt and curled up, wondering how your life had become this mess. You had a protection charm in your pocket, but it wouldn’t take them long to find you. You were public enemy number one.

You must have fallen asleep but were woken at the sound of scratching. Something was outside the door of the warehouse. Hellhounds. The door came down and you were greeted by Crowley followed by two other demons.

‘Do you know how sick I am of looking for you?’ He asked, smiling.

‘Probably about as much as I am of running from you,’ you said. You could hear the hellhounds circling the floor around you but you ignored them.

‘Then how about you stop running and come with me?’ Crowley’s smile is sickly sweet as he holds out his hand.

‘I don’t think that is a good idea,’ a loud voice booms out from behind you. You turn and see Uriel, with two angels you don’t recognise. ‘You should come with me child, I promise that you won’t regret it.’

You knew he was lying, that’s what angels did. You had yet to meet a good one. If you went with either of them they would torture you, the only choice you really had was what you wished to be tortured with.

You were about to take a step, when a force hit you in the chest and you flew back against the wall of the warehouse, no longer protected by your circle. You slumped to the floor, falling on your side.

The blow had made your head hurt and your vision was blurry. Flashes of light beamed in front of you and loud growls could be heard. A hellhound grabbed your leg in its teeth and started to drag you, presumably towards Crowley.

You kicked at it with your other leg and it hissed at you, digging its teeth in further. The blood was warm against your skin and you felt your stomach turn. There was a loud crash and then silence.

You managed to make out a figure standing over you. The hellhound made a hissing sound and then let go of your leg. You could feel yourself fading because of the blood loss. The last thing you remember is feeling cold hands lifting you up.



You woke to feel no pain. It was dark around you with low flickering lights near your head. Your hands felt the velvet fabric that you were lying on. The bed was soft and, even though you didn’t know where you were, you felt safe for the first time in a while.

The light became brighter and you turned to see Lucifer standing at the end of the bed. You sat up and scrambled back against the wall. Maybe you’d thought too soon about being safe, but then why hadn’t he just killed you or hurt you already.

‘Don’t be alarmed,’ he said softly.

Your mind flashed back to the warehouse and you looked up at him, eyes wide.

‘Did you save me?’ you whispered.

He frowned and came around to sit on the bed, his back to you. ‘It seems that way, doesn’t it,’ his tone suggesting that he could hardly believe it himself.

‘Thank you,’ you say quietly, letting yourself relax a little.

‘Do you want to know why I did it? I heard that you had that little amulet and I didn’t want my father’s side to get it, of course. I was prepared to rip it from your cold dead hands, but then I saw your face.’ His voice got quieter and he leaned his head forward and rested it in his hands.

It was a few minutes before he sat up and turned to look at you.

‘And then when I knew that my own orders were going to get you killed. Well, I just couldn’t let that happen.’

You watched him as he closed his eyes.

‘Why?’ you asked as you found your voice.

His eyes opened and stared into yours.

‘Because I need you. I think that’s how you got the amulet to start with. It was a present, so long ago to someone long gone now, but that someone had my heart. So now you have to locket, because I think you also have my heart.’

It sounded ridiculous to you, how could the Devil love? But somewhere inside you, you wished it was true.

‘But you don’t know me, how can you claim to love me?’ you asked. He smiled and laughed.

‘That’s what I was thinking, but you know, I am still an angel, maybe I just know these things.’

Lucifer moved closer and rested on hand on your knee. He leaned forward and put the other hand on your face.

‘I will keep you safe, my sweet, if you stay with me,’ he said, his lips inches from yours.

There was a feeling deep in your gut that told you this was true. You closed the gap between your lips and felt his cold ones against yours.

‘Always keep the amulet, from now on it will keep you safe.’

‘I thought you were going to keep me safe?’ you asked, with a small smile.

‘The amulet tells me where you are, so I can keep you safe,’ he said.

Lucifer leaned forward and kissed you deeper this time, so deep that you felt your soul react. Maybe you had finally met an angel that would be good to you.
