This is my first Lucifer fic, I binge watch the series in like 15 days and I am obsessed with this couple, it's truly fasting the bond they created, and also the way Lucifer it's pretty much on love with her since the first episode (eventhought he won't admit it) As I said, this takes place after Chloe is released from the hospital at the end of 2x13, she went to the penthouse before Lucifer leaves.
Saying that Chloe Decker was nervous was an understatement, in the hospital Ella and Dan told her that Lucifer got the formula, and eventhought they put it as a team effort, she knows they just got the ingredients. Lucifer got the formula, they admitted that without that formula she will most likely be dead. He had save her. Again. God knows how. And after everything that had happened in the last week between them, she needed to see him and talk.
But when she stepped out the elevator, what she saw left her speachless. Almost every pice of furniture was covered with white sheets, except for the piano, a Scorch glass lying on top. In that moment, Lucifer walked out of the bedroom, shirt half unbuttoned, bags under his eyes and messy hair, to be honest, he look like hell. He stopped his tracks, frozen, when he saw her. They stayed like that for a few moments, neither of them able to say a word.
-You are leaving, without saying goodbye- Chloe didn't tried to hide the hurt in his words, the fear and the way that Lucifer's departure seemed even worse that the hole "you almost die today"
- I had to, Detective. I need some time to process things, and I think it will be the best, for both of us. You don't really need me, things had to go back of how they used to be.
That made Chloe's blood boil. What on Earth was he talking about now, they seemed to be going somewhere just a week ago and now this? She knew he was terrified of commitment, and she was pretty sure he hadn't been in a serious relationship ever, but enough was enough.
-Bullshit, don't give me that Lucifer. I want to know the truth. The hole truth. I'm tired of your delusions and metaphores. I almost die today and I want answers, and I'm not going to go before I got them, so talk.
He took a deep breath, he knew her and there's no way on Earth she will accept anything different from the whole truth, besides, he didn't lie. He had to show her. Made her understand that what they almost had could never go anywhere, not with his father always meddling, removing her free will, and definitely not with his true self, because who could love the Devil? . He might be a monster but he wasn't willing to force her to accept him, in any way.
-Chole, I AM the devil. I'm not god enough for you. I'm evil. I know you don't believe me, not without proof. You just have to know that you know I won't ever hurt you or your urchin. And after this, I will assure you, I will diapered of your lives and you will never have to worry about me ever again.
Without giving Chloe time to reply, his face transformed. All the skin was removed and every inch replaced with scar tissue, red and bloody. His eyes weren't brown anymore, now they were fiery red, as if a fire was burning in his soul. And then, as fast as the devil face appeared, his face again, handsome and with actual skin.
She was completely and utterly frozen. She couldn't think, react or even scream. Her mind was blank.
"It's all true"
For a few seconds, Lucifer keep waiting for Chloe to snap out of this trance, and run as fast as her legs allowed but non of that happened, she keeps staring at his face, with a puzzle expresion.
-Detective, are you okay? Please tell me something, throw something at me or punch me, dear Dad, not the same as Dr Linda... Can't believe I also broke you- he took a step closer to her, carefully, showing her they she shouldn't be afraid of him. He waved his hand in front of her face, suddenly she jump backwards and almost fell. Finally, when she look at him, at his eyes, Lucifer couldn't see any trace of fear of horror, just curiosity, surprise and something else that he could not place right now.
-It's all true. You are the actual Devil. The first fallen angel. Ruler of Hell.
-Yeah, and giving all that, why are you still here? You shouldn't be, I won't hold it against you, I will be perfectly normal Detective.
-I'm not scare of you Lucifer, and you said I shouldn't be, so why do you want me to go away?
- It's for the best, believe me Chloe, I wish with all my soul that you stay, but it's selfish and I can't take away from you any more choices.
-What do you mean? What choice's are you talking about, because I know why I choose to be your partner and your friend. Nobody made me chose anything. Specially not you, believe me, you were a pain in the ass but if I didn't found you helpfully, you had been gone for a long time.
-A I'm not talking about me. HE was the one who force you to do all those things, unconsciously, of course.
-Please explain Lucifer, because I don't really get what the big deal is.
-He put you in my path, an angel bless your parents so they could get pregnant with you. You were literally a baby miracle. He force you to feel a certain way for me. This is not real. And I most definitely won't allow Him to make you one of his pawns.
Lucifer's eyes darken with hearted, but not towards her, but to her father (and maybe her mother for that matter) also frustration, but Chole could also see pain, inmensurable and deep. He took a deep breath and turn away so he could hide his eyes, he was on the verge of tears.
What a wimp he was for the King of Hell.
-So, basically, you wanted to give me back my choice and free will. Then you decided to take away my decision of being with you.
Lucifer stay motionless, taken aback by her statement. That was somehow true, trying to give her back his choice, he had chosen for her, just like his Dad. Great.
-Luficer, I want to ask you something, you have to be completely honest with me.
-I don't lie, specially not to you Detective.
-Okay, so humans have free will. And eventhought your Dad made possible our encounter, He can't control humans, just tip the scale to his interest. So if he can't control what I feel, why do you think that He was the one who made me feel this way?
-Because I'm not worth it- it was barely a broken whisper, but she heard him anyways- I told you, I'm evil. I'm bad news. I punish. I hurt people. I'm selfish. I'm a Monster. You can't like me, the real me.
-Luficer stop- she approached to him, and raise her hand, slowly touching his face, resting it on his jaw- you are not a monster, you are the Devil but you are not a bad man. Or an angel for that matter. You are the best partner that I had, an amazing friend who cares deeply for the ones he love. You care about Trixie, Linda, Maze and your brother, and even Dan. You are smart and always seek for justice. You make me feel protected and safe, and I don't care about anything else. I care about you, a lot, and I don't an on running away any time soon-
With that she simply lean in and kiss him, this was very different from their first kiss. Chloe wanted to reassure him that this was real, there's no backing up for her. She was sure, and she wanted him. It only took Lucifer 10 seconds to respond to the kiss, and the atmosphere quickly change, the kiss getting hotter by the second. After a few more minutes, he pulled away, panting, their foreheads touching.
-I want to do this right Chloe, I don't want to rush things. I want to take you out, on a oficial date. This Saturday?
-That will be perfect. But I have a little question, how on Earth you got the formula?
-That's an interesting story, you see I died and went back to Hell to have a little chat with the Doctor, no biggie.
-Luficer! No biggie? Are you kidding me, If you pull off something like day, I will personally kill you, understood?
-Perfectly darling
With a big smile, he lean again and kiss her.
So there you have it! Hope you like it. Sorry again if there's any grammar mistakes, english is not my first language.
