Honestly you should've realized it sooner. Especially when you wake up from bed only to find yourself in Lucifer's room.
Not to mention the fact that your point of view seemed to be a lot lower than you were used to. Still, you just thought maybe it was because you still weren't fully awake.
It wasn't really unusual for you to wake up on Luci's bed anyway.

Lucifer woke up and immediately face-plants onto the carpet. Looking around after he rubbed at his eyes he noticed that not only did everything look smaller, but he was also in your room.
Getting up from the floor he saw his reflection in the mirror on your vanity.
"WHAT THE F*CK?!"
Charlie hurriedly slams the door to the room open at the exclamation, she looks at…you(?) with a worried expression.
"Crys? Are you okay? What's wrong? You NEVER curse!" Charlie asks in great worry as she looks you over for any injuries or the like.
"Char…I think we've got a bit of an issue." Lucifer says, Charlie looks confused at the nickname, only her dad calls her tha-
"Wait…DAD?!" Charlie exclaims in surprise, Lucifer nods in amusement.
"Wh- wait your in Crys’ body…so that means…"
"It means I'M in Luci's body." Lucifer's voice speaks out from behind Charlie.
Lucifer looks behind Charlie to see himself, or rather his body which had a very uncharacteristic unamused expression on it.
"Crys! You- when did you get here?" Charlie asked in surprise.
"Just a few seconds ago. Thankfully Luci's magic felt quite natural to me. Although…how do I hide this?" You hold up a tail, Lucifer's tail to be precise.
Lucifer laughs in your body, "I don't really think about it. I'd say it's the same way as to how you keep yours> hidden." He says with a grin.
It's really weird seeing your own face have the same grin Lucifer wears.
It's also weird staring up at people.
"Gee, thanks Lu," you roll your eyes but figure out how to hide the tail.
"Wait, what happened? Did anything special happen to the two of you yesterday?" Charlie asks, her expression showing that she too was thinking hard if anything unusual happened the day before.
"Not that I know of…" You say, memories of the day before coming into mind. You draw blanks.
"Is uh…do you think this is…permanent?" Lucifer asks with a concerned expression.
You raise a brow at that.
Lucifer, seeing your expression, hurriedly adds, "Not that I don't like being in you-"
Charlie grimaces at the wording.
"-wait no! Thats sounds wrong-...I mean, not that I don't like being in your body but uh, yeah- we can't exactly stay like this forever!" Lucifer stumbles over his words.
You laugh at his flustered response, "Don't worry I get it. I'm sure you don't want to be going up to heaven to attend meetings and check on my faction."
"And I'm sure you don't wanna be attending meetings with the sins or the overlords either." Lucifer adds with a thoughtful nod.
Charlie looks between the two of you, you can tell she's quite confused especially with you looking like her father and Lucifer looking like you.
"Well…are the two of you busy today? Maybe you can spend the day in the hotel? It um…might wear off, whatever caused this?" She suggested with an unsure grin.
"I guess I could give Carmilla a text saying the delivery will have to wait till tomorrow…" You mumbled.
Lucifer grimaces, "Yeah uh, that…might be for the best."
Charlie clapped her hands together, "Great! I'll get started on breakfast and I'll see you both downstairs later! I'm sure you two would want some time to talk about um…this." She gestures between the two of you.
Charlie gives the both of you a reassuring smile as she leaves and closes the door behind her leaving the two of you in your room alone together.
Lucifer breaks the silence.
"You…you've gained a lot of power huh?" Lucifer held his hands in front of him, expression thoughtful as he felt out for the power that thrummed inside your body.
"I…I have been busy." You settle on saying.
Lucifer hums as he lays his hands down by his side and he looks you up and down. A smug expression made its way on his face.
"Hm, so this is how you look at things, at least now I know why you keep calling me adorable~" Lucifer teases, it was a bit awkward to see your own face make expressions you weren't making at that moment.
Lucifer's smile slips off as he notices you discomfort, "Are you okay Rys? I didn't even think how you feel, I- sorry love, I've got no issues in your body since I WAS an angrl at some point, but your in my body, and I'm…I'm fa-"
"That's not it," You sigh, mustering a soft smile, Lucifer blushes, he knows he can have really soft expressions, he just didn't really see it for himself before.
"Then what is it Rys?" Lucifer prods he fakes your hands in his, lacing them together as he pulls you over to your bed, plopping both of you on it.
"You felt it didn't you? The amount of power I hold."
Lucifer nods his head.
"Usually, that kinda thing makes people happy, but…I didn't gain power for happy reasons. After I lost you, I watched you fall, unable to do anything. Broke my promise that I'd always be on your side- I-...I didn't want to be so pathetic ever again. So I gained power, you can probably tell it's fivefold what I had before."
"Very impressive by the way," Lucifer interjects with a proud expression.
You chuckle at that.
"Yes- well… I wanted to make sure I could support you better, whether behind the scenes or beside you. That the next time you have to face something, fight for something. I can fight for it with you. Cause Luci…YOU are worth fighting for."
You reach out to cup Lucifer's face, this time, despite the body swap, you can somehow SEE Lucifer for himself.
It makes you smile wider.
"This time, I won't let heaven take anything from you. Not Charlie, not her dream, not your people…well…not in the extermination sense anyway." You chuckle at your own words.
Lucifer looks at you in awe.
"Did I ever tell you I love you? Cause I love you, soooo much." Lucifer says with a bright laugh, he looks down at you with a lovestruck expression.
"Hmm, I think I need to hear it again for good measure," You joke back with a teasing grin.
Lucifer pulls you in for a kiss, you melt into it immediately.

"AHAHAHAHAHA!" Angel laughs loudly as he bends over from how much laughing he was doing.
"So the two ‘o you's are in each other's bodies? That's gotta be the funniest thing I eva seen!" Angel wipes a tear from his eye as he looks over the two of you.
He leans over to Lucifer who was in your body, "So yo majesty, how's it feel not being short?"
"Pleasant actually, I see what the fuss is now." Lucifer says good naturedly, eyes half lidded with a smug grin.
Angel turns to you with a smirk, "How bout you toots? How's the low level view?"
You weren't gonna take this like this, "Pleasant," You say just like Lucifer, with a smug grin as you look up at Angel then blatantly look at his chest fluff.
"Things look…MUCH bigger at this level," You say as you move your gaze from his fluff to his eyes.
Angel chokes on his own saliva at that, "Well, feel free to look as much as you want~" He winks at you.
Lucifer places a hand over your eyes, he grumbles under his breath.
"Got jealous Luci?" You ask with a chuckle, you didn't make any movements to free yourself from Lucifer's obstructive hand.
"Very much so." He admitted with a growl, it sounds strange in your voice.
It makes you laugh loudly anyway.
Lucifer proceeds to pull you away from Angel who had an amused look on his face as he watched the scene.

You spend the day doing all sorts of things together, from making an extravagant lunch for the hotel to playing a random impromptu round of hide and seek inside the hotel with the rest of the guests– Alastor cheated by just hiding in the shadows for that –you did pretty much all the things you could think of for a day inside the hotel.
At one point, you, Lucifer, and Angel sat together in the lobby to talk about what it meant to be an overlord and to help in sorting some things out with Angel's new standing.
Apparently Angel has been using Valentino as a lapdog and furniture, oftentimes getting him to pose as a chair or a foot rest. You find yourself greatly amused at imagining it.
Was that you being in Lucifer's body influencing your thoughts? Of course not, you were petty if not stubborn.
You and Lucifer ran out of things to do pretty quickly, so the two of you decided to just cuddle up together and watch tv in your room till dinner.
You gotta say, you see why Lucifer really liked it when you carded your hand through his hair now, you fell asleep from the ministrations rather quickly.
As you dozed off into dreamland, Lucifer looks at you with adoration as he adjusted his position where he was spooning you in bed. It was a lot easier to do so while in your body, and soon enough, he joined you in the land of dreams.
When you wake up an hour later from the nap back in your respective bodies? Well…you decided to spend the next hour still in each other's embrace despite the calls for dinner from the crew.
