Work Text:
Solomon and Simeon were standing in the hallway having a light conversation, but today was not a good day. _ _ _ couldn’t stay focused like there was something pulling on her thoughts to put her in another time and place. She recognized this place all too well, the smell was familiar. It brought her mood down from her usual cheery self. This happened occasionally she would go through an ultimate low, but it hadn’t happened once while she had been in Devildom so why now?
She walked out of her class with a stone cold expression on her face and kept her head down as she passed Simeon and Solomon. It didn’t have her desired effect though, instead of them not noticing her they immediately became concerned. They watched as she walked through the hall sulking.
“Do you think we should see if she’s okay?” Simeon said still watching her.
“No, I think she’ll be alright. Sometimes humans need their space, and she obviously didn’t intend on talking to us.” Simeon looked concerned and he creased his eyebrows together.
“ Simeon are you ready to go?” Luke said walking up to the pair.
He nodded his head and patted Solomon on the shoulder as he walked off with Luke towards Purgatory Hall. Solomon watched as _ _ _ figure went down the stairs in RAD when Mammon came rushing towards her and she immediately turned herself away from Mammon.
“ Leave me alone Mammon.” She said as she continued walking. He ran to catch up with her.
“ What’s the matter?” He asked lowering his voice.
“ I said leave me alone!” She pushed him away from her.
“ What’s got your panties in a bunch huh? I was just tryin’ to be nice.”
Solomon watched the whole exchange and took it upon himself to help her get away. He walked up to them, and smiled before he said.
“ There you are _ _ _ I’ve been looking everywhere for you.”
“ Huh? Why?” She looked at Solomon with a confused look.
“ Did you forget? We had plans to study after school, c’mon let’s go.”
He grabbed her hand and began dragging her towards Purgatory Hall leaving Mammon there by himself. Once they were a good distance away from RAD he stopped and looked at her. She looked sad.
“You are coming over, you need to stop thinking of whatever is on your mind. You look pathetically miserable.” She glared at him.
“ No thanks.” She turned to walk off but he grabbed her hand once again.
“ That wasn’t a request.” He started leading her towards Purgatory Hall.
“ Solomon stop!”
“ Nope, not until you tell me what is bothering you.”
She sighed finally giving into him. He took her into his room.
“ This is the best place to be away from everyone. No one really comes over to my room.”
He motioned for her to sit down. So she sat on his bed putting her hands on her lap and looking down. Solomon took off his coat and looked over at her with her head hung down.
He placed his coat on the back of a chair and softly walked over to the bed and sat next to her. He put his hand on her back.
“ Tell me what’s wrong” All she did was shake her head.
“ Come on it’s okay. It’s not healthy to keep things bottled up.” He placed his hand on top of hers encouraging her to tell him.
She finally looked at him, and for once his eyes looked kind and tender and understanding. He was listening and he genuinely wanted her to tell him. He was the other human, but he’s had a long life. Her problems probably would seem small and meager to him.
“ Trust me _ _ _. I won’t tell anyone.” She closed her eyes tight and opened them again.
“ I don’t want to be a burden.” He shook his head
“ You aren’t! I want to know I want to hear you.” Finally she relented and bit her lip.
“ I’m not this perfect princess everyone thinks I am. I’m broken and my thoughts just won’t go away and I want to just crawl in a hole and never come out.” Solomon stroked her hair as she spoke, urging her to keep talking.
“ I was in an abusive relationship, he was always yelling at me and degrading me. It wasn’t a good feeling.” Solomon creased his eyebrows together.
“ Sometimes I remember it or relive it. It’s strange it could be a smell that triggers it or a word.. anything really. Then I get really depressed for a few days.” Solomon sighed and put her hair behind her ear.
“ Can I ask you something?” She nodded.
“ Have you been with anyone since this?” She was startled it was definitely not the question she had envisioned.
“ I mean I’ve been with people to uh ....fill urges if you understand what I mean, but romantically...No.”
“ And how long ago was it that you split?”
“ Almost two years now.” He hummed.
“ I think you have some form of PTSD, and I also think you’re scared that you are going to get hurt like that again if you give yourself to someone.” He cleared his throat and put his hands on her cheeks forcing her to look him in the eyes.
“ You know what else I think?”
“ What?”
“ That you need to be loved the way you deserve, no one deserves it more than you. It’s okay to be afraid and it’s okay to be cautious. You deserve to be happy _ _ _.”
“ I don’t know, maybe I’m destined to be single all my life.” Solomon shook his head.
“ No, that wouldn’t be right. _ _ _ I want you to trust me, close your eyes.”
She did as Solomon said and closed her eyes, and he took her hand and intertwined there fingers together. It was such a simple act, but it seemed so intimate.
“ Keep your eyes closed.”
He pressed his forehead to hers, and they sat there in silence with their hands grasped together and their heads pressed onto each other for what seemed like forever. Then he spoke in a low voice, a voice filled with sultry and want. She hadn’t heard him talk this way before...Ever.
“ You can loosen the restraints on your heart.” He opened his eyes and pulled away running his finger across her lips. His touch sent electric shivers through her body, which went unnoticed by him.
“ I will never hurt you.” He said not giving her a moment to speak before he tenderly pressed his lips to hers.
_ _ _ tensed up momentarily from the shock, but then her body relaxed and Solomon pulled away from the sweet kiss.
“ Solomon?”
“ Just so you know I’m not doing this out of pity, I’m not that kind.” He brushed her bangs out of her face so he could see her green eyes.
“ Then why?” He smiled
“ Because..I”
He kissed her again feeling her velvety lips against his. He gave her a deep chaste kiss and pulled away.
“ love you.”
He went back to her lips, but threaded his hand threw mher silky hair as he kissed her yet again. This time though he deepened the kiss. She put her free hand on the back of his neck, and exhaled deeply through her nose. She parted her lips and he took that opportunity to slide his tongue into her mouth feeling the softness of her tongue tangling with his, as there kiss became more heated she pulled away. Looked at the blush dusting his face and ears.
“ Solomon... I” she took a deep breath
“ I love you too.” He smiled a genuine bright smile and then whispered in her ear.
“ Then will you be mine?”
She nodded her head and smiled as she crashed her lips against his yet again. He placed his hand on her cheek as he squeezed the hand he was holding only for her to squeeze back. When Asmo came bursting into his room.
“ Ooooh Solomon !” Asmo said in a sing song voice.
He stopped dead in his tracks as he realized what he walked in on. Solomon and _ _ _ holding hands with his hand cupping her cheek and her hand on the back of his neck, in a heated kiss.
“ Oh my goodness! You two are so cute!”
He squealed and had a huge smile on his face as the two of them swiftly pulled away at the sudden intrusion. They were both blushing a shade of deep red and they both pulled their hands away from each other.
“ Finally! I have to say it took you guys long enough to finally come together. Please don’t stop on my account.” Solomon cleared his throat.
“ Did you need something Asmodeus?” He stood there grinning pleased as punch.
“ No no don’t worry about it. I’ll just uh shut the door.” He turned around and shut the door whistling down the hallway.
“ I thought you said no one comes over?”
“ Usually not. Must’ve been a special occasion.”
They both heard their DDD’s go off so they picked their phones up to look at the text.

Asmo: Love is in the air!❤️
Satan: What are you talking about Asmo?
Asmo: I just caught a pair of humans in a passionate kiss with intertwined fingers! They are so cute !
Mammon: Say What? They said they were going to study.
Asmo: Is that code for making out?
Lucifer: _ _ _ I want you home NOW!
Lucifer: You come too Solomon we need to have a talk about the birds and the bees.
Solomon: You do now that we are both adults right?
Lucifer: I understand that, but _ _ _ needs to understand everything. I don’t want you hurting her.
_ _ _: Really Lucifer? The birds and the bees? You don’t want him to hurt me? I am not a virgin Lucifer.
Lucifer: I’m going to pretend I didn’t read that. I need both of you over here as soon as possible!
End

“ I guess we better go”
Solomon said as he began to stand up, but _ _ _ grabbed his hand.
“Hold on, a couple more minutes”
_ _ _ pulled Solomon close again and they met each other in another fiery kiss. They knew they would be awhile before they made it over to the House of Lamentation. They also knew that they would have to endure hours of endless lecturing from a fuming Lucifer and most likely an embarrassing talk about the birds and the bees. Right now none of that mattered except for the feeling of each other’s lips.
