Chapter Text
Lucifer is freaking out. He was currently freaking all the way out. Why was the King of Hell losing his mind? It’s because there was currently a child in his kitchen. A living human child. She’s tiny, with espresso skin and big round eyes. And she was absolutely filthy. Her clothes, if they can even be called that, were caked in dirt.
“O-oh kay! OKAY! Let’s calm down!”, Lucifer wasn’t sure if he was talking more to himself or the child. Who was, oddly enough, really calm. “What’s your name, little one?”
The girl did not answer, only blinking up at the devil, her hands clasped in front of her.
“Um, where did you come from? Do you know where your parents are?”, Lucifer tried again
And again, the girl didn’t say anything.
“Well, maybe I can just drop her back off in the human world.”, Lucifer said to himself, “Only problem is, I dunno where to put her.”, he tapped his foot anxiously, trying to think of what the next course of action should be.
Crash! Lucifer nearly jumped out of his skin and turned around, sighing in relief when all he saw was the little girl holding an apple and an upturned fruit bowl on the floor. What concerned him, however, was the tears sliding down her cheeks.
“Hey now, it’s alright.”, the angel used his magic to clean up the fruit, “See honey? No problem at all.”, he spoke gently as he knelt in front of the shaking girl.
“Désolé. Je ne voulais pas…”, the girl whispered,
“So she can speak!”, Lucifer laughed before his face twisted into a grimace, “Too bad I don’t know what you’re saying. May I see that please?”, He held his hand out for the apple
The girl hesitated, looking between the apple and the man before her, then handed the apple over.
“Thank you.”, he said happily. The angel used his magic to float the apple and tapped it once. It was split into eight slices and floated a plate out of a cupboard. He couldn’t resist floating the items around the girl and was rewarded with a happy laugh. After playing around a bit more, Lucifer landed the apple slices onto the plate and handed it over.
The girl looked up at Lucifer, stars in her eyes as she whispered, “Magicien.”
Lucifer perked up. “Oh! I know that one. Yes. Yes, very much so. I’m the magic guy.”, he couldn’t help the smile as the girl took a bite out one of the slices, juice dribbling down her cheek. The angel took a cloth and tried to wipe away the mess only for it to come back almost black.
“Yeesh, you are filthy.”, he threw the cloth to the side. “Okay, new plan! Lets get you a bath, and then I can return you to earth. How’s that sound?”
Of course, the girl did not acknowledge him. Very much interested in the apple slices.
“Yes, I think it’s a grand idea. You finish your snack, and I’ll go get a bath ready.”, Lucifer had just crossed the threshold of the kitchen when the girl screeched and launched herself at the man, both of them falling to the floor.
“Oomph! Hey what’s th-”
“Ne pars pas! S'il te plaît, ne me laisse pas!”, The girl wailed, holding on tightly to the man.
“Hey, hey. It’s alright. You wanna come with me? C’mon, we can go together. No more tears.”, Lucifer picked the girl up. Her arms immediately looped around his neck, and Lucifer feared that if she held him any tighter he may pass out from lack of oxygen. Still, he patted her on the back in an effort to calm her and together, they walked down the hall.
