Chapter Text
Lucifer couldn't help the fond smile that graced his lips as he listened to Asmodeus hum to himself. The younger demon was sitting on Lucifer's bed, painting his toenails as Lucifer worked at his desk.
It was rare that things were this calm but then again, they were the only two in the house.
If He was being honest, he quite liked this, Asmodeus had a lovely humming voice, and a beautiful singing voice if he wanted to add to that.
He sat his pen down and looked over at his brother, still painting his nails. "Asmodeus."
The younger blinked and looked up, tilting his head. "Yes?"
"I would like for you to sing for me."
Asmodeus felt shock course through him; after all, it had been a long time since he sang for any of them. He let a small smile slip before nodding. "Of course, Lucifer." He looked back at his feet, continuing to paint as the words slipped from him, an almost haunting song from when they were younger.
A lullaby really, from when they first fell. One Asmodeus sang every night to help them sleep.
Lucifer closed his eyes and leaned back, listening as the memories replayed.
One stuck out more than the rest, of Lucifer waking to find Asmodeus crying silently, tucked away in a tight corner away from the others. He always wondered how often that happened, of Asmodeus hiding away his pain.
Slowly, Lucifer stands, making his way to the bed and sitting next to his brother, taking the nail polish bottle and muttering a quick drying spell.
"Luci?"
"Keep singing." He maneuvered Asmodeus a bit before laying down, his head in his lap.
Asmodeus was silent only for a minute, before running his fingers through Lucifer's hair. "Oh you silly man…." He smiles softly, drifting back to his song, as Lucifer slowly dozed off in his lap.
For once, it was a peaceful night.
