Hello, hello. This is my submission for the Lucifer/Chloe fanfiction challenge from Nyx Crepsley. Hope you enjoy and as usual, reviews are good, flames are bad!
"Could you teach me how to sing, Lucifer? I've had singing lessons before, but the instructor said that I have a crappy voice." Chloe inquired of her partner/boyfriend one night. They had just finished solving a grueling case, and Chloe didn't have the energy to drive home. Lucifer, being the gentleman that he was, well, when he wants to be, offered that the detective should stay at his penthouse. Trixie is staying with her Detective Douche father, which means that the former Prince of Darkness gets to have Chloe all to himself.
"Of course, my darling Chloe. Anything for you." Lucifer purred as he wrapped his arms around Chloe's waist, pulling her close. "What song do you wish to learn? The classics like the works of Bach, Mozart or Beethoven or something more modern like My Immortal or Fallin'?" The King of Hell asked. "I was thinking of a song called Halo by Haley James Scott. I love that song. I used to listen to it all the time on the radio." Chloe said as she smiled at the memory.
Lucifer was shocked that his Chloe would pick that song out of all the others as the lyrics of the song reminds him of his relationship with Chloe. The Lord of Hell gulped and quickly composed himself, slipping back into his devilish charms. "Excellent choice of song, my darling. Let's get started shall we?" Lucifer said as he led Chloe to his piano. Chloe sat on one end of the piano bench while Lucifer sat at the opposite end.
The former Prince of Darkness then played the intro to the song and started to sing, "I never promised you a ray of light, I never promised there'd be sunshine everyday," Chloe then sang the same lyric to the best of her ability. Her voice rang out through the penthouse, never once going off-key. Lucifer looked at his Chloe with love in his eyes as he let her sing the next phrase of the song.
"I give you everything I have, the good, the bad." Chloe sang as her mind flashed back to the days where she and Dan were happy. "Why do you put me on a pedestal, I'm so up high that I can't see the ground below," Chloe sang again. Lucifer remembered the time that he spoke with Dr. Martin, and she said that he had placed Chloe on a pedestal of sorts when the detective wouldn't fall for his charms. "So help me down you've got it wrong, I don't belong there." Lucifer sang as he took over the second verse.
The two continued to sing back and forth in perfect harmony until Lucifer played the ending notes. The Lord of Hell then turned to face his dear Chloe and said, "You have an enchanting voice, Chloe. That instructor of yours was wrong to say that you have a 'crappy voice.'" Chloe blushed crimson at the compliment before leaning in close and kissed Lucifer softly on the lips.
"That's because I have a great teacher," Chloe replied in a sultry tone as she pulled away. "If that's my reward for teaching you how to sing," Lucifer said with a wide grin, "then perhaps I should do it more often. That is after we're done working of course." The King of Hell added as he swept in for another kiss.
Later that night, as Lucifer laid in bed next to his precious Chloe, he thought back to their little music lesson a few hours ago. He wished that he could show Chloe who he truly was and let him love her the way that she deserves to be loved. The Douche could never love her as he could. He would protect her, and the spawn with his life and Maze can help too if she has the time.
The demoness has been doing things on her own for quite a while now. She hasn't spoken to Amenadiel since that day where she said that she needed to figure out how she fits in with the humans on Earth. Since she doesn't work for him anymore, at LUX or otherwise, she can do whatever she wants. Lucifer briefly changed to his true form and gazed at the woman who captured the heart of the Devil. One day, my darling Chloe, you will see me as I am. I only hope with all of my soul that you won't leave me. Lucifer thought as he changed back to his human form and spooned his detective as he drifted off to sleep.
The night turned into day as the rays of the early morning sun shone through the windows of the penthouse. Lucifer stirred in bed and reached out instinctively for Chloe but found the other side of the bed empty. The former Prince of Darkness quickly got out of bed, put on his black silk robes and padded into the living room. Chloe was already dressed and ready to leave. She waited for the elevator, singing softly to herself. Lucifer leaned against the doorframe of his bedroom, listening to his detective sing, her melodic voice caressing his ears.
When Chloe finished the song, Lucifer moved from his spot and walked over to his detective. The Lord of Hell wrapped his arms around his Chloe, placed a soft kiss on the top of her head and whispered, "That was lovely, my darling Chloe. I could listen to your beautiful voice for the rest of my days." Chloe smiled at the compliment and turned in Lucifer's arms to face him.
"Thank you, Lucifer," Chloe said as she stood on her tiptoes and kissed Lucifer with all the love she has for him. "I'll head down to the precinct to see if there're any homicides that need solving. You can meet me there when you've changed, okay?" Chloe asked as she stepped through the open elevator doors. Oh, my darling Chloe, you have no idea just how much I have changed. Lucifer thought before replying, "As you wish, Detective Decker." Chloe smiled sweetly at her boyfriend as the elevator doors closed.
The conclusion of this story will be posted shortly. Just need to finish writing it lol.
