You walked down the aisle of the castle.

After the Dream Lord's messenger arrived, letting you and Lucifer know that he was to come to Hell to save his mortal ex, the queen of the free men, or whatever.

You rolled your eyes at the memory of her. Everyone screamed and begged here, but that girl was naive enough to think that an endless, an immortal being, would truly love her and take kindly to her leaving him.

You used your wings to fly down the steps.

Lucifer had sent you off to talk to every single general of Hell to gather everyone first thing tomorrow.

You had just finished your task and were returning back to your partner.

You smiled at the sight of them. They were standing on their balcony, watching over Hell.

You quickly made your way behind their significantly higher figure and hugged them from behind.

"Love." The ruler of Hell greeted you.

You hummed, caressing your right wing with their left one. You rested your cheek against their arm as you looked up at them. "Dearest. Everything has been taken care of as you requested."

The fallen angel leaned down to kiss your head. "I know. Unlike everyone, you never disappoint me, darling."

You smiled at them. You had been together with Lucifer ever since before their fall (which was the cause for yours; you couldn't remain in the Silver City without your beloved partner) and yet the still made you feel more loved and cherished than everyone you ever met.

Lucifer kept looking down at the place while you kept caressing their wing with yours. "I still can't believe what we are about to do." You spoke quietly.

The late Samael finally tore their gaze off the fields of Hell to look down at you. They reached out, taking your head in their hands and locking eye contact with you. "Why, sweet thing? We are merely claiming what we are owed; our freedom."

You nodded, biting your lip. "Well, yes, but- but- Is it truly the only way? Maybe.... Maybe, we can reach out to him. He is merciful. He will understa-"

"No." Came Lucifer's response cutting you off. You swallowed hard, biting the inside of your cheek as you gave them an unsure look.

"God's a cunt." They added, still not tearing their gaze off from you.

You gave them a small reprimanding push with your right wing. "Yet, he is still our creator and that isn't about to change. Ever." You retorted, raising your hand to place it on top of theirs.

They rolled their eyes, dropping their hands from your face. Lucifer turned their head to the side.

Knowing that they were about to dismiss the argument. You walked around them to still be in their line of vision. "Samael." You whispered-yelled.

They gave you a very pointed glance at the choice of name you used. You both knew that were you someone else, Lucifer would have been unforgiving to you.

You took a deep breath. "I realize that this is what you want. And truth be told, I want to be free of this place as well." You confessed to them with a small pout.

Lucifer's stern gaze softened at your admission. "Then what is holding you back, my love?"

You swallowed hard. "If we go for this, Lucy, there is no going back." You whispered, fidgeting with your hands.

Your loyal companion sighed as they nodded in acknowledgement of your words. "I hear you, love. However, deep down, I know that you are very well aware that this is the only way." They spoke softly, caressing your left cheek and kissing your forehead.

You tapped your leg nervously against the stone floor. "I... I may be a little scared... I can't imagine a life without my wings.... Our wings." You teared up at the idea of having to mutilate a part of you that had been with you for over 10 billion years.

Lucifer nodded, kissing your forehead again and pulling you in their arms for a hug. "There is a price to pay for everything, love. You know how the world works."

You nodded in agreement. "There is a give and a take for everything." You agreed with their statement.

Lucifer hummed. "We will be free, my love. Free to explore and experience. Free to do whatever we want outside of this sickening place." They spoke softly.

You gave them a sad smile. "We will. I can't wait to swim."

Lucifer chuckled and you followed suit. Their laughter was always doing things to you.

You wrapped your hands around their neck. "And we will eat ice cream and be all loving and caring without a single care in the world of responsibilities or Hell." You added, your smile widening.

Lucifer nodded, pecking your lips. "We will, mu love. We will write our own story. For once."

You grinned at them. "I can't wait~" You looked at the side, down at the fields of Hell. "Mmmm. I will miss this place. But, I care little as long as I am with you."

Lucifer smiled at you, nuzzling their nose against yours. "Likewise, my love."

Three months later, Lucifer was was laying down on the blanket.

You were taking the things out of the backpack ful of food that you had brought to do this 'picnic' that you had read in the internet.

Lucifer turned their head to look at you as you took out a tapper with a salad you had made; a recipe they used to do in Ancient Greece that Lucifer liked.

They hummed in satisfaction at the sight of the specific meal. "Mmmm. You are spoiling me, wife."
