Chapter Text
There was once upon a time
Like it was never before
Born from a powerful king and a beautiful queen
A human like no other.
They got both the power and the beauty of their parents and were beloved by others.
But even with all of that, they seemed oh so distant. Their eyes always looking at the sky, like they were waiting for someone to come.
This is the story of a royal heir that fell for an angel, a star. But could they transcend their human nature and live their happy ever after, or will they find their happiness in someone else and remain mortal?
MC shivered as the breeze of the night hit their skin. Their nightwear was thin, not ment to protect from the cold of the night. It was made so it wouldn't bother the young royal's sleep, something they should be doing at that hour.
But instead, they were staring expectedly, looking at the stars. Out of all of them, one was shining the brightest, the Morning star. From dawn to even past sunrise, if one looked at the sky they could see it, but only during the night, its light was the brightest.
It was often told, in human legends, passed through generations, that stars are actually the angels looking to protect humanity. Most would think those are only empty legends, stories to tell children and a subject for poets to write about. Few were those that knew how to call those angels down to earth, if only for a short time.
"Descend down here, my Morningstar, thou cast your light on me, and spend the night right here with me." Learned by heart, MC recited the charm that was thought to them by the star himself.
As the words left their mouth, the light in the room started to waver, a figure slowly appearing. At first it was only multiple pair of wings, shifting into one another. Their mind could never comprehend this form of his at this stage, that's why he always took the form of a human, more or less.
"Lucifer, you're finally here." MC ran and hugged him tightly, burying their face into the crook of his neck. At first glance he appeared human, but his cold red eye, his pale skin that seemed to radiate a soft light and his six wings were a dead give away.
"Why wouldn't I be here, my love, after all you were the one to call me." He returned their hug and wrapped all six of his wings around them, shielding them from the cold of the night.
For how intimidating his wings looks, they were extremely soft and warm to touch. Looking around Lucifer observed how they have already prepared tea and something to eat for his visit. Sighing, he kisses their head and goes to pour himself some tea. "You didn't have to prepare all of this for me, your body is already starting to feel the effects of losing sleep. You really shouldn't push yourself like that, you're only human after all."
MC rolled their eyes but couldn't help the smile on their face at his worry. "You worry too much. At this rate I might have to start calling you the Anxiety star instead of Morning star." Lucifer shook his head at their attempt of a joke but if MC looked closer, they would see the corner of his mouth twitch up.
"You're just as reckless and with no regards of the rules as my younger brothers, you truly would get along with them.." At the mention of his brothers, MC's ears perked up. Lucifer rarely spoke of his home. At most, he would tell some stories about his brothers or complain about work passed on by Michael, but even then, he was sure to keep things vague.
Most of their nights were focused on MC and how he could make them feel good. All his attention was on them. Most of the time, his touch was more than welcomed, his embrace always made them feel safe. But there were some times were his touch would serve as a reminder that he was not mortal. MC couldn't always describe this feeling, after all, humans didn't have it in their vocabulary to describe the touch of beings beyond their comprehension.
As much as they have both tried, the disconnection that came from being fundamaetally different, would make its presence known at the worst time at possible.
"Say, Lucifer, what are your brothers like? You always talk with so much fondness about them, it's clear as day that they mean a lot to you." Seeing the pleading look on MC face, he couldn't bring himself to refuse them. It was an innocent enough request and it was natural that they were curious about his family.
"Where should I begin...all of them can be quite the headache to deal with, always running around doing whatever they want." Just thinking about all the trouble his younger brother can cause make his head hurt. "But they can also be nice, when they try..."
Hours passed, as he shared stories of his brothers. MC didn't really intervene outside of a few questions and jokes. As much as he claimed that his brothers were trouble makers, he did love them dearly. He would have probably went to talk about them even more if it weren't for MC nearly collapsing for exhaustion.
Despite their protest of not being tired he gently led them to their. "I've told you to take better care of yourself. You're body can only last with so many hours of sleep being lost." MC was too tired to actually argue and deep down, they knew he was right, so they complied with his request to go to sleep.
"Please stay with me a little more, until I fall asleep. I don't want to be alone just yet." MC grabbed the sleeve of his shirt and tried to tug him into bed with them. Giving a kiss on their forehead, he made himself comfortable into their bed. "I will be here to hold you until you drift off to sleep, so now hurry up and do it. You need all the sleep you can get."
MC mumbled some things he couldn't quite catch on as they fell asleep. Despite being so close to his loved one he couldn't relax. These meetings they keep on having can't go on. While to Lucifer it's not that hard to keep coming down on earth for their call, MC's body couldn't keep on going with sleepless nights and day dreams throughout the day.
They deserve to have an actual relationship, where they can be together as much as they want and not only on borrowed time. They both deserve that. To not have to hide and keep this whole affair a secret. At least on MC's part. All of Lucifer's brothers knew what was going on after one night they have decided to spy on him. His Father was also aware of his frequent visits to a certain human.
He was so caught up in his thoughts about how to resolve the situation, that he didn't realize that the night has passed and the sun's light was illuminating the room. Casting one last glance at his lover, he disappeared into the sky again, where he could think of a way to make their relationship be an actual thing, that didn't need to be hidden.
