Chapter Text
You felt like you were going to fucking explode on the inside. You managed to convince the brothers to be out of the house for the night so you could finally put your plan into acction.
It was really simple, really. Prepare the dinner, put on the rare cursed record you managed to get your hands on, get dressed nice, get on one knee and propose. It was a straightfoward plan yet you still felt like you were gonna mess up the whole thing.
You were sure Lucifer would say yes, he talked on multiple occasions about how he wants to spend his eternity with you, but proposing to the avatar of pride was bound to make you nervous beyond imagination.
It was too late to backdown now. You've already prepared a table with nice decorations with your favourite foods and drinks in the music room, dressed in your best clothes, put on the cursed record to play. The only thing missing was Lucifer, that was about to appear any minute now.
"MC, can I enter? I trust that you are already done with the preparations for your surprise." And speaking of the devil...literally. You check your clothes once again and went to open the door for him.
And there he was, the avatar of pride in all of his glory. He was wearing a dark blue suit, with gold and black details along the tie and the vests. On his shoulder his long coat was resting also with some subtle golden details. What caught your attention was not only the fact that he was not wearing gloves like he usually does, but that his nails were painted blue instead of the normal dark shade of red.
"I am done with the preparations, you came just in time." Closing the door behind him you went to take your sit at the table. You tried to open up the demonus bottle to pour some for Lucifer but he was one step ahead of you.
"You have already planned all of this, the least I can do is to pour drinks for us". After he was done pouring demonus for him he opened a wine bottle to pour in your glass. You needed some alcohol for courage, and since demonus had no efect on humans, wine was the best next thing.
"May I ask why did you prepare all of this? Don't get me wrong, it's all beautiful, but is there some special occassion I am not aware of?" Lucifer raised an eyebrow at you. He was onto you about planning something special but you were already prepared for this.
"It's just that...it's been a while since we have been on a proper date, and since I managed to get my hands on the 'Interwinded fates' record I thought a date in the music room would be perfect. Especially that I have heard you talk about how much you want this record" Lucifer looked at you for a bit, deep red eyes trying to find any lies in what you have just told him. When he couldn't find any he decided to shift his focus into something else "So tell me, how did you get your hands on the record? Even I had trouble trying to find a way to get it"
And the dinner continued just like that, exchanging stories from the last few days, telling him how you managed to get the cursed record, Lucifer telling you things from his past. You blamed the demonus for how open he was talking about some thing, but seeing him so relaxed and happy brough a smile on your face and a warm feeling in your chest.
As the dinner went on you could feel yourself relaxing. Talking with Lucifer over a few glasses of drinks seemed like the most natural thing in the world. You didn't know if it was due to the wine or the lights were shining just the right way but Lucifer seemed even more breath taking than usual. Finishing your glass of wine, you decided it's now or never, you really wanted to make this man your husband and there was nothing that could stop...maybe a no from him but that was out of the question.
"Lucifer, I have one more surprise for you, but I need you to close your eyes for this one" Throwing you a questioning look one last time, he closed his eyes, his whole body relaxing as he did that. You take out the ring box from where you kept it hidden. It contained a beautiful golden ring with red stones ingraved into it so the ring wouldn't bother Lucifer when working. You chosed this specific stone not only because of how beautiful it was but by what it ment too, eternity. The stone could be found only in Devildom, and if you stayed and think anout it, it reminded you of Lucifer's ruby like eyes.
You got down on one knee. Looking one last time at the ring you mentally prepared yourself for the proposal.
"Love, you can open your eyes now." Slowly, Lucifer opened his eyes, red eyes the same shade as the stone stared at you, seemingly in shock.
"I guess you were right earlier when you asked if there was a special occasion for this dinner. I want to keep standing by your side, through thick and thin. I want to be able to talk with you just as we did tonight because being with you feels like the most natural thing in the world to me so, Lucifer Morningstar, would you do me the honour and marry me?"
You don't think you have ever seen the avatar of pride looking as surprised as you did just now. His face was flushed red, eyes wide and mouth just a bit open, as if he was trying to find the right words.
After what felt like an eternity, Lucifer gives you his hand in order to stand up. "My dear MC, you didn't have to ask anymore. My whole being, body and soul belong to you already, but to answear your question" He brought one of his hands to your face and kissed you softly on your lips. "Of course I want to marry you. But I trust you are aware already that legally we can't do that yet, right?"
Putting the ring on his finger, you brought his hand to your lips to give it one more kiss "I am well aware of that, but that doesn't change how I feel. I want to spend the remainder of my life by your side." Your ran your thumb gently over the ring, still catching up with reality that Lucifer said yes and now you are engaged with him.
Sharing one more kiss, you resumed your dinner. The atmosphere was different, but not in a bad way. A huge stone off your chest was lifted and you felt like you were on cloud nine. Lucifer kept looking at his ring, a look of satisfaction clear on his face the whole time.
"You know, I thought I would be the one to propose to you but I don't mind it at all. You always manage to surprise me in the best ways possible." Lucifer filled both of your glasses with demonus and wine "We can talk more in detail tomorrow, but for now, let's just enjoy each other's company and the rest of the meal you worked so hard for."
He was right, there was more than enough time to talk about the future tomorrow, for now you just wanted to enjoy his company and the atmosphere you both created.
