[π:πππ©π¦] π°π‘π’π¬π©ππ«Β βΎΒ the hut was warmly lit with torches and led lights that spread down from every corner of the walls. a great feast was laid upon the table, food stemming from a variety which included roasted pig, skinned sashimi, grilled food, and a ton of seafood that stretched across two long tables. the sea breeze was cool, the sand was warm on your feet, and the laughter that filled the faint music blasting on the speakers was nothing but a joyous melody that would soon fade into a precious memory in their ears.Β
it was the happiest the bunch has ever been. all the brothers plus you sat in front of the delectable feast, and you indulged yourselves in todayβs events that were definitely worth bringing up.Β βdo you remember when mammon got water sucked into his nose and ended up losing the swimming competition?! iβm so glad i got that on camera!β leviathan laughed, enlightening the rest of the table with the winner snapshot of their second eldest in his midst of suffering. mammon, the man of the hour, then started throwing hands at leviathanβs phone and exclaimed for him to delete it, creating a rouse of chaos that got satan involved because of a food splatter that landed on the brochure he was studying.Β
βliteral children.β you heard lucifer sigh beside you, taking a good amount of sashimi in his mouth as he watched his brothers quarrel with an unimpressed glare. you giggled at how tired his voice sounded and slid him a shot of sake.Β βadmit it. youβre having as much fun as we are.βΒ
the eldest scoffed, but accepted the shot nonetheless.Β βthe lot of you more than i am.βΒ
when lucifer placed the shot glass down, he stared across the table at his six other brothers and you. the smiles that adorned your faces, the screams and childish squabble that you all never got tired of doing; it seemed as if this night has done something magical to make the entire family happier, make them...whole.Β
no, it couldnβt be the night. lucifer then hovered his gaze over to you, the oh-so persistent and stubborn you. he suddenly recalled a memory of the both you from not too long ago, perhaps five months ago. he specifically told you not to meddle with family affairs, yet he knew that you wouldnβt listen. he never understood why you were so determined to help him and his brothers out. you were dealing with demons after all. why should the problems of demons matter to humans like you? solomon was one thing, but you were an entirely different case.Β
at that very moment that lucifer kept his gaze trained on yours, he felt his world starting to spin slowly. suddenly, the figures from his peripheral were blurred and paused, as he could focus on you and only you. his eternal heart began to thump against his chest, and he felt the apples of his cheeks beginning to heat up at the sight of your smile, the sight of your joy. lucifer thought it was just the alcohol kicking in, yet he was reminded of your effect on him and how it made him look like an utter fool in love.Β
βi am a slave of your love, ready to love someone like you. until your heart becomes mine, you will not be fooled. you are the light in the dark and the brightness of the stars.β the echoes of the music playing in the background tuned louder to luciferβs ears, and with the unconscious grip on his shot glass, he dimly wondered how such a human being like you was able to make him fall harder than heβs ever fallen.Β
the said manβs world started to function once again at the mention of his name as he blinked at you, snapping out from his thoughts.Β βw-what is it, [first name]?βΒ
he definitely wanted to kiss that smirk off your face.Β βnothing. just wondering what was in that pretty little head of yours.βΒ
oh, believe me. lucifer thought once you got back to chatting with asmodeus, your perfect smile and your perfect features etched into his vision. itβs nothing an avatar of pride would even handle.Β
