You stare worriedly at the mirror, your reflection staring back at you. Your appearance, the multitude of eyes that screamed your status as an Angel of High status.
You don't know what the consequences of your actions are gonna be yet. You know that the High Council can't be the one to decide it, leaving only 2 other people to dish out your consequence.
The prince and the Big G himself.
You weren't looking forward to it. You don't mind being cast out if that was the punishment. But the souls who had given you their Oaths don't deserve to fall to this place. Not unless they truly wished to like you did.
Funny, someone who actually wants to fall.
You continue staring worriedly at the mirror, the silence ringing loudly in your ears as the only thing illuminating you in the dark room was your halo.
You didn't know how long you spent like this, just looking at yourself, taking in your appearance, one that, once upon a time, was something you were very cautious about.
It wasn't just Lucifer that didn't know your face back when earth wasn't even created yet, practically no one but the being that created you knew what you looked like. Why did you hide under a mask? You didn't know the answer to that either. It was just something you did, and now? Now everyone knew what you looked like. Everyone in the courtroom anyway.
You couldn't even tell what you felt about it.
You didn't regret it of course. Never. You'd do it again in a heartbeat.
That didn't mean it didn't leave you feeling lost, a myriad of emotions passing through, jumbled so much that not even you could decipher it.
You were so deep into your musings that when a hand touched your shoulder, you froze, not even processing Lucifer's reflection in the mirror until the hand squeezed your shoulder more firmly to take your focus.
You calm down when you realize who it was.
"Did I wake you up?" You ask with an apologetic expression.
Lucifer shakes his head, a concerned and soft smile on his face. "No, I just felt you weren't in bed with me. Haven't really been used to sleeping by myself recently."
"Sorry."
Lucifer's eyebrows knit together in worry, "It's fine love…is there something wrong?"
"It's nothing Luci, probably just residual adrenaline from the trial or something."
He frowns at your words, hand being taken off your shoulder as he instead moves to wrap his arm around your neck as he hugs you from behind.
"It doesn't seem that way dear." Lucifer insists.
"...I don't know how I feel, Luci." You sighed, your eyes drooping down as you gazed downwards.
A worried frown makes its way to Lucifer's face as he lets go of you. Instead, he circled around you, taking one of your hands in his as he gave you a loving smile.
His other hand moved to lift your chin to face him as you were made to look at him instead of the ground.
"You don't need to be able to word out what you feel, love. If it isn't making you feel good then it means it's probably not." Lucifer leans in to give you a chaste kiss on both the thin slits of secondary eyes underneath your main ones. You instinctively close them as he kisses them tenderly before leaning back slightly to look at your vulnerable expression at his actions.
"You've lived with a mask all your life hun, though this is in the literal sense it is surely a strange, foreign, and new experience for you."
Lucifer tugs gently at your hand as he leans back to full height, pulling you up to stand as he leads you back to your bed.
Lucifer maneuvers you into bed, "And new can be…scary, but knowing you, you'll be just fine. Show the world how amazing you are. You don't need to hold back anymore…from yourself, or others, certainly not to me."
Lucifer climbs over you as he shoots you a starry eyed look. He leans down to take your lips in his as he pulls you in deep into a passion filled kiss as he tries to let his feelings of you reach you through the contact.
His love for you. Adoration. Pride for you. So many emotions, so very large and overwhelming yet comforting all the same. Like a tidal wave that seeked to drown you, yet you found yourself not wanting to come up for air as you let yourself be swept away in the refreshing feeling of it all.
A small smile tugs at your lips. Lucifer breaks the kiss to grant the both of you time to take in air.
"Will you show me?" You say, voice small and barely a whisper, breathless in quality, but Lucifer heard it all the same.
"Of course Ocyris." Lucifer replies, as he made you anew.

The buzzing of your phone wakes you up, the lights peaking through the edge of the curtain to signify it was already morning.
Blinking your eyes open, your eyes adjust to the darkness of your room. You sure loved your blind curtains.
The buzzing doesn't stop until you reach an arm out to your nightstand to grab your phone, movement restrained due to Lucifer hugging you firmly in his sleep, arms wound around your naked torso as he snoozed, soft breaths hitting you bare chest as he remains in deep sleep despite your movements.
Checking your phone you blink repeatedly at the sudden onslaught of light from the device. After adjusting to the brightness, you see that it was a text from Micheal. Apparently as punishment for your transgression, your organizations, your business in heaven would be suspended and transferred to other authorities. Apparently, since you held quite a large portion of the Winners’ souls in your possession due to their Oaths, you were saved from being cast out.
You found yourself not even caring for what was lost. Partly because you had also planned for this scenario. You huffed to yourself betting to the air that within a month, they'd be returning your life's work back to you.
Afterall, the souls and heavenborn that worked as the integral part of your inventing and supplying business were bound to you through Oath, and they won't work unless you are running things.
Clicking your phone shut, you placed it back on your nightstand before turning back to face Lucifer who was still cuddled up to your bare chest.
You smile softly at his sleeping figure, porcelain smooth skin out on display from where the blanket doesn't cover him up.
A blush makes its way on your face as you notice the trail of marks you left of him.
"I wasn't that bad was I?"
Lucifer groans and mumbles in his sleep as he shifts a bit in your hold, his arms winding around your waist tighter pulling you impossibly closer to him as he has his cheek against your chest as though he was listening to your heartbeat.
Your eye crinkles upwards at the cute display, you move your hand from Lucifer's hips as you carded through his hair.
"Ngh…" Lucifer hummed in his sleep, eyes still shut determinedly shut.
You chuckle, your voice deeper from sleep as the sound reverberates through your chest making Lucifer finally stir from the vibration.
"Nnn…go back to sleep, love…" Lucifer sleepily mumbles, he pushes his head deeper into your hand as you scratched at a certain part of his scalp, the sensation causing a small shiver to go down his spine.
"Ryssss…cut it outt…" Lucifer whines as he determinedly keeps his eyes shut.
You laugh lightly at his whining, "It's morning, they might come up to call us for breakfast soon." You plant a soft kiss on his head.
Groaning a little Lucifer finally opens his eyes with a pout, "Fineee…"
Lucifer pushes himself up into a sitting position, rubbing sleepily at his eyes, he stretches his arms out allowing you full view of his topless state which has you smirking at the sight.
"Nice state your in hun~"
Lucifer looks down at himself, "Wha- Ocyrisa how did you even get this many on me?!"
Lucifer looks at himself surprised, a red flush on his face as he turns to give you a scolding.
You propped yourself up into a sitting position as well, the blanket sliding off of you, cutting Lucifer off from what he was gonna say.
He chuckles awkwardly.
"Ehem, uh…on second thought…uh…sorry.." He looks to the side avoiding your gaze making you look at yourself in confusion only for your eyes to widen.
"Very bitey aren't you?" You raised an amused brow as you traced the very obvious and quite large bite marks that littered your skin.
"I couldn't help it, okay! Not my fault you looked so ravishing!" Lucifer threw his hands up in gesture, you found yourself momentarily flustered at the words taking a brief second to regain your composure.
"Well it sure feels like it, Luci, you might have to carry me to breakfast or take breakfast to me~," You throw back with a teasing grin.
Lucifer throws you a cheeky expression, "Maybe I will carry you to breakfast dear!"
"Hah no, let me put on some clothes at least Luce." You chuckle at his cheekiness, getting up from the bed, your eyes narrowing slightly at the small twinge of pain that makes itself known to you at the movement.
Lucifer notices your expression, "In all seriousness, you alright? I wasn't too hard on you was I?"
"Nah, you were perfect Luci." You wave a dismissive hand at Lucifer as you go to put on a fresh pair of boxers, taking out your go to outfit from your closet to get dressed.
Lucifer sends you one discerning glance before deciding he'll take your word on it for now as he moves to get dressed as well.
With how often Lucifer sleeps in your room with you when he comes over, he basically has his own dresser in the room now.
After the both of you got ready– thankfully you and Lucifer wore long sleeved outfits most times –you both headed down to the dining area where everyone was already gathered.
"Well look who finally decided to join us, both of yous up pretty late today eh?" Angel greets the both of you as you enter.
"Just decided to sleep in a little Angel," You dismiss, walking towards your usual seat.
Lucifer walked in front of you pulling your seat out for you. You send him a thankful smile as you sit down, Lucifer following suit next to you.
Charlie looks at you with a concerned expression.
"Is there something wrong, Charlie?" You ask, noticing her concern.
"Is there…is there any news yet? About the…about what happened in the trial? I know you said you'll be fine…but- but what if you get hurt or they punish you for helping me?"
Your eyes soften at the concern Charlie showed for you, "It's fine Char…I just received a text from Micheal, all that's happening is that my businesses, and organizations are gonna be suspended and taken over by other powers in heaven."
Instead of comforting her, your words seem to alarm her even more, "Oh no! But you worked so hard for all of it!"
You raise to interrupt her, "It's fine Charlie, I built my small ‘empire’ to be able to have a foundation for when there comes a time I have to fight for Lucifer. You're important to me too of course."
Charlie gets teary eyed at the words as she brings you into a tight hug.
Lucifer snaps a picture at the scene, you wince slightly especially given your body's current state from last night, but you return the hug with just as much vigor.
You pull back from the hug, giving Charlie a soft pat on the head as Vaggie herds her back into her seat.
"Now then, Let's eat shall we?"
