--------------------
Lucifer thought about you often, you danced through his mind everyday as he went through his normal routine.Â
He saw you on the backs of his eyes as he slept, you whispered to him through his dreams. It was odd, he was prone to nightmares, typically about Lilithâs death. However, dreams of staring into the eyes of someone who felt like his other half was new.Â
The first time Lucifer saw you, you came to him in a dream after a long night of signing bills from Mammon. He waited until reaching his room to start showing signs of fatigue, and collapsed into his bed, out cold.
This dream was so vivid, he swore he was breathing in the sweet scent of the roses that surrounded you. Lucifer felt the wind on his face and the bright light of the sun stinging his eyes. Then there was you.
Amidst all the colorful buds and petals, sitting on your knees to get a better look at something on the ground.Â
Your name was heavy on his tongue, Lucifer knew you. And though he had never seen you or spoken your name before that moment, you felt like home.Â
And just like that, the dream was over. Lucifer sat up, a bit confused. Wasnât he just in a field? No, forget that, who was the person in his dream? His mind swirled with questions, and he fell back to sleep in his exhaustion with one weighing on his heart. Who was (Y/N)?
Lucifer saw you in dreams often from that point forward, never again in the field. Never with that chance of getting your attention, but as a spectator. He watched you work until you dropped and get ready in the morning. He clutched his shirt where his heart beat under his hand when you passed through him occasionally to grab something behind him.
One evening, Lucifer peaked over your shoulder to see what you were reading so intently, the lettering was small, but at the top of the screen he saw his own name.Â
That made him spring up, did that mean maybe you knew of him as well? Lucifer came up behind you, his chin nearly resting on your shoulder as he attempted to read what was on the screen.
It was writing about a fictional character from a game, a story about falling in love with Lucifer. Lucifer chuckled under his breath a bit, humans did always have a way with creating renditions of him, but this was the most accurate one he had seen.Â
You giggled at something from the writing and your hand moved when the laugher ran through your body. Instinctually, Lucifer went to place a hang on your shoulder, to still you so he could read. Forgetting for just a moment that his hand would go right through you.Â
Which made him very confused as to why it didnât. Lucifer glanced down at his hand on your shoulder, puzzled. He barely noticed that your laughter had ceased. Now you sat in quiet awe, your eyes wide, but not fearful as they took in the person attached to the random hand on your shoulder. You recognized him.
âLucifer?â
He sat up in bed, Luciferâs breathing was unsteady, his heart pounding but not from fear. You felt him, only for a second, but Lucifer found himself filled with something that could only be love, as he realized that the one he admired was finally able to see him.Â
From that point on, you would sometimes talk to Lucifer when he saw you in his dreams. You had seen him, and Lucifer swelled with pride knowing how clever you must have been to put together the pieces that he was able to see you at certain moments.Â
You would ask him questions during the day, and say goodnight to him before you fell asleep. Neither of you knew when you would be able to make contact with the other next.
The night that you both returned to the field was another late one on Luciferâs end. Although seeing you in his dreams made him more inclined to sleep, there were still nights that were spent wishing he could be watching over you while doing paperwork.Â
Lucifer pretty much was a dead man walking by the time he returned to his room that night, the moment he closed his eyes, he felt them reopen to greet the bright field filled with flowers.Â
He didnât waste any time, you were picking roses this time, but you remained oblivious to Luciferâs presence just like the previous time he saw you amongst the flowers.Â
Lucifer felt himself move forward, making his way towards you with a certain amount of urgency. He wasnât sure how, but there was a subconscious knowledge within him that his time with you was running out.Â
Lucifer had begun closing the distance between the two of you by walking, but he was sprinting now. The field seemed to grow, longer and longer until he felt his lungs burning for air.Â
He stopped in his place, and the field swirled around the both of you, turning from a small distance into what seemed to be worlds apart.
â(Y/N)!â, Lucifer heard a hoarse voice yell desperately into the air, it took him a moment to realize that the voice belonged to him. You were so far away, he wasnât sure if you heard him.
But the second your eyes met his and you smiled at him across the distance between the two of you, he knew that his efforts had not been in vain.Â
Lucifer felt something dripping down his cheek, and reached up to brush the salty liquid away from his eye. He glanced down, confused at his fingertips for a moment, before locking eyes with you once more.Â
Lucifer realized too late that this meeting would be your last, he didnât even have time to start running towards you again. His feet stayed planted, but his eyes scanned your face.
There were tears running down your face too, and you bit your lip to force a comforting smile to come through rather than sobs.Â
Lucifer saw you mouth three words, before you were gone. Everything was dark for a moment, and Lucifer opened his eyes to be met his the worried face of one of his brothers.Â
âHeâs awake!â, he thought he heard Mammon, but he could have been wrong. Lucifer would come to find out that he had slept for nearly four days straight. That his brothers were worried about him, there was probably more, but Lucifer wasnât paying attention to his brothers at the moment.Â
He couldnât shake the words that you had said to him. Lucifer scowled as he glared out the window. His father seemed much more cruel as Lucifer realized that the first time he would hear, âI love youâ, from the person he adored most in all three realms, would also be the last.
