AN:Get ready for some fluffy fluff.

The early morning sun, gently fell on Decker's face as she stirred a little. The events of the day before completely knocking out the detective from pure raw emotions that she typically hid from the world.

However after seeing her best friend in that amount of pain. The walls cracked, as the flood gates were pried wide open. Causing her to pour out everything to a father that never truly cared for his son.

Chloe didn't even remember falling asleep, however here she lay. On top of the covers. The young devil resting his sleeping head on her stomach. She let out a soft sigh as she absent mindedly played with his hair, fully waking as she did. Ignoring the thought of the day prior, to simply allow herself to breathe for a moment. In that moment her friend was curled up beside, not a care in the world. As he lived in childhood bliss. A moment Chloe wish she could cradle him in forever. Never allowing the hurt to come back.

Chloe knew she could never do that for her friend, as well as knowing he would never want that. He wouldn't want to be protected. Not to that degree. Just as he knew she would never want that either. They both wanted protection from pain, but they never wanted to be truly free from it.

She continued to play with the devil's hair when her eyes finally caught a glimpse of the clock.

9:05am.

Shit.

She quickly rose to her feet. Waking the sleeping devil in the process. She scrambled out of the bed causing little Lucifer to fall onto the floor as Chloe bolted down stairs. Not giving the devil an apology as she darted to Trixie's room.

"Trixie, honey school!" Chloe shouted as she banged on the little girl's door. Not noticing the note taped to the door. As Chloe pounded on the door for the third time. The note slipped off the door and fell by the Detectives feet.

Chloe bent over to pick up the note. She gently held it in her hands and unfolded it.

"Dear Chloe,

Maze told me you were still out from yesterday. So we decided to let you sleep. As well as watch Lucifer in peace. I will take Trixie for the day, and have her back by tomorrow.

From Dan."

Chloe let out a groan she went over to pick up her phone. After Trixie had been taken a little over a year ago Chloe had a slight trust issue when it came to those took care of her daughter. She trusted Dan, of course, however, the note just seemed so out of character for Dan. That she needed to make sure it was true.

Sure enough, it was. After a fifteen-minute phone call with her ex. She had been completely reassured that Trixie was completely safe.

"Chloe you need to relax. Trixie isn't going anywhere unless it's with me."

The detective let out another sigh. Realizing now that she had the day off completely. However, she needed to get to the precinct. Chloe was certain that Ella had found more evidence by now to the whereabouts of the Angel.

Except Amenadiel and Maze were already off on the angel's trail. Then again she should just go to check on Ella. Even though Dan was already doing that…Trixie was at school so she was perfectly fine.

Chloe ran a hand through her hair realizing something. That she really did have a day off. Nothing to really worry about. Well, one thing to worry about.

Lucifer.

"Lucifer!" She turned and ran back towards the room only to run into the young devil in the process. Toppling over onto the child. Who cried out as she did. Her body landing right on top of his as he squirmed under her.

"Chloe!" He whined as he quickly pulled herself to her feet. "Why do you keep knocking me over?" He said as he pouted a bit.

Chloe looked down at Lucifer as she brushed the dust off her clothes. His sad expression along with his bed head nearly caused her to collapse just from the sheer amount of joy/pain that it brought to her heart.

Leading her to realize what she was going to do with her day off.

Spend it with her best friend.

"Oh, cause it's fun," Chloe said playfully as she picked him up, tickling his belly in the process. Something she would never be able to do with her Lucifer. He started to laugh wildly. Filling Chloe's heart back up with pure joy.

"Chloe, stop!" He whined again. As his eyes started to swell with tears of happiness.

"Never!"

He squirmed in her arms as she kept tickling him. Carrying him to the kitchen as she did. She brought him over to a stool and set him down. Releasing him from her tickling torment. Allowing the devil to catch his breath a bit.

Chloe walked to the other side of the bar and leaned over towards him. Smiling down on him as she did with Trixie every morning. Just before she asked her daughter what she wanted for breakfast. "Alright Lucifer, what is it that you desire?" A phrase she had always wanted to say to the devil. However she knew he would take it the wrong way saying things such as,

"You in bed with me."

"Why, only your naked body, detective."

Or even.

"For you to be my everything."

Ok, the last one was more of Chloe's secret desire that she was glad he could never pull out of her. If he ever truly knew...she didn't know if she could live it down. Yes, she had confessed her love to his father. Though she knew Lucifer had been asleep, and didn't hear it, and his father sure as hell wasn't going to tell him.

So that secret was safe for now, and hopefully forever. She wasn't ready to open up to him again...or maybe she actually was...

"Those round things, we had yesterday," Lucifer said happily as Chloe nodded. Knowing exactly what he was referring to.

"Alright, round things coming right up." The detective said as she started to gather the supplies she needed to make the pancakes that Lucifer desired. Lucifer watched intently as she started to make breakfast.

"Mummy, and daddy. Never make us these round things at home." Lucifer said with a touch of disappointment in his voice.

"What did they make for you, Lucifer."

"Bread." He said sticking his tongue out. Chloe chuckled a little as she poured the batter into the frying pan.

"Bread is pretty good, Lucifer."

"Not if that's what we have for every meal." He whined a little as Chloe grabbed a spatula preparing herself to flip the circular breakfast food for her young friend the devil.

"Did you do anything else with your family when you are your home?" Chloe asked. She knew she was prying into a dark corner of Lucifer's mind. A place that he never wished to discuss. The past he would rather keep buried in the ground. However the detective had an opportunity she may never get again, and she sure wasn't going to let it slip through her fingers.

Lucifer stroked his small chin for a moment as if he was stroking the five o'clock shadow that typically lined his perfectly sculpted face. Which caused Chloe to chuckle once more. "We go flying often," Lucifer said with a sweet smile. "All my siblings and I will go fly around heaven while father works in his shop, and mum just watches. Uriel always tries to beat me at flying, but he can't." Lucifer said in that way, that children get when they are trying to show they are more dominant than others in a situation. Which was certainly a familiar thing for Lucifer to do.

"What else do you do with your siblings," Chloe asked as she put Lucifer's pancake on the counter, and slid it to him. She didn't get a response instead, Lucifer happily grabbed the bottle of syrup and poured a mountain of it on top of his pancake. As he used both hands and picked up the pancake. Shoving it into his mouth. Syrups going all over his face and hands in the process. Typically Chloe would scold her daughter if she did anything like that. However, Lucifer wasn't her kid. She wasn't worried about how he would turn out. She already knew how that went down.

So instead while his eyes were shut, and the sweet goo dripped down his chin. As he consumed the pancake in just a few bits. Chloe snapped a quick photo of the young devil. Knowing that she would not only cherish the photo but also love showing her Lucifer. Just to tease him a bit.

"I'm all done," Lucifer said happily as his chin and fingers were covered in syrup. He pushed the plate towards Chloe. She groaned softly to herself. This kid sure could get away with so much just because he was so darn cute. He smiled again at her. His curly hair hanging over his eyes. Causing him to look even more adorable than he normally did.

Chloe just shook her head and grabbed a sponge starting to clean up the trail of syrup that covered the counter. She finished wiping down when she realized that at some point during the fallen book shelf and the countless tears spilled yesterday she had forgotten to go to the store. They were clean out of paper towels.

"Darn, no more papers towels." The detective muttered as she went to look for a rag she could use to wipe down the counter. Along with the young devil. However, Lucifer spoke up a minute later.

"Here, you go Chloe," Lucifer said sweetly as a roll of paper towels just sat in his hands.

"What the…" Chloe said with disbelief as her mind started to remember a relegation that had gotten swept under the rug of her mind in the last few days.

The Lightbringer powers.

Lucifers power of creation. She had completely forgotten.

"At least he doesn't have his full powers."

According to Maze, this was something to be somewhat weary, of His light bringer abilities. The power to create with what's around him as well as being able to create more of what already existed in the hands of a seven-year-old was slightly concerning.

Chloe carefully took the towels out of the young devil's hand. Fearing in the back of her mind that possibly they would just poof into nothingness in her hands. However, that did not happen, to Chloe's relief. They were just an ordinary pair of paper towels that the young boy had just created.

Chloe's life would never be normal again. Not since she became friends with the literal devil.

She wiped down the counter removing the puddles of water that had been left behind by her sponge. She then dampened a few towels and sipped down Lucifer's face. Who let out small bits of laughter at the action.

"Chloe," he whined in between wipes. Chloe smiled again as she leaned forward to kiss his head. As she did she whiffed his scent, causing her to cringe slightly.

"Oh, Lucifer you need a bath." She said picking him up from the bar stool.

"But, I don't like baths, Chloe." He whined as he squirmed a little in her arms. "All the bubbles get into my wings." He said, trying to get free from her grasp again as he did.

"Come on Lucifer, we need to take a…" she stopped catching an image of the ocean that she had taken back when she was in high school. Of her father and herself sitting peacefully. "Actually I have a better idea, first. However, we will have to take a bath later." Lucifer liked the idea of prolonging the bath as long as he could. "Alright little angel, we need to grab a few things first."

An hour later Lucifer bolted out towards the ocean. His arms spread wide as to mimic his own wings. Which she had forbidden him from using when he asked on the ride over.

"Luci, I don't think that would be a good idea."

"But, why?" He whined."

"Because...other people will be jealous and want to steal them." She emphasized "steal", which seemed to scare the little angel.

Ok, maybe she hasn't flat out forbade it. However, she wanted to make sure he wasn't going to open them up and start flying in front of everyone. That...would be hell.

To her relief, he was just pretending to have his wings out as he made his way to the water. "Lucifer, wait up!" She called out to the child in vain. He was too far gone to hear her. She sighed and carried her chair, and there towels out onto the sand.

It was a peaceful day at the beach. Due to it being a school day, and a normal work day for most. While most were cooped up inside, Chloe was able to spend the day with her favorite devil under the warm Los Angeles sun. It had been ages since she had taken a day off. Lucifer had urged her in the past to do so, however, Chloe had always found a way out of it. Saying she had paperwork. Cases to close, or sometimes she would just say she didn't have money to burn like him. Even when he had returned from his "walk in the desert" she had still gone to work later that day to help cope. She had almost broken down in front of him when she had seen all the burns on his skin.

She hadn't let a tear escape that day. Not in front of When he needed her to be the strong one. However now she could let her guard down a little more. Knowing that he wouldn't remember this. Knowing that this memory was sure to slip back into the darkest corners of his mind when he returned to normal. She could let the worries of him thinking less of her slip. Chloe though knew he would never truly think less of him for being vulnerable around him. They were both each other's kryptonite. However, she would be damned if she continued to let it show when work had to be done.

There was still a crazed angel on the loose.

An angel child to take care of.

As well as her own child to take care of.

As he ran into the water those worries slipped away. Even if it was just for a short period. Chloe knew just for this moment she could let them go, and just enjoy her time with her favorite celestial being.

She set down their things and took off after him. Sand flying behind her feet as she charged into the water.

The cold water hit her feet as she moved towards Lucifer. Who saw her and let out a loud laugh as he started to swim away from her. The waves crashing against them as she got closer to him.

He squealed loudly as she grabbed his hand, and pulled him into her. She held him close as she fell back into the water. Causing the young devil to squeal even louder as the waves crashed over them.

He squirmed out of her arms taking off again. She ran after him again.

After several hours of playing in the waves, making sand castles, and playing with a beach ball(that Chloe had bought along with Lucifer's flame trunks before they had gotten to the beach). The detective walked back to her car the devil sound asleep in her arms.

His face was slightly pink from his time spent in the sun. Sand dripped from his head as Chloe carried him. He looked so perfect just as is. She had snapped several photos of his pure adorableness throughout the day. Holding onto these memories of her seven-year-old best friend.

Though in her heart she wished they had been the real Lucifer.

Proudly sitting next to the sand castle they had built.

Throwing water into the air playfully.

Sleeping on the beach towel covered in sand.

They were all sights she wishes she could see the tall devil do. Though she knew he would think it's too childish and unbecoming of the former prince of darkness.

She carried him into the car and drove off.

Arriving back at the apartment late into the evening. Dan had taken Trixie again for the evening. Truly giving her the day off. Chloe let out a soft sighed as she walked into the apartment the devil curled up again in her arms. Still soundly asleep.

She had needed to give him a bath especially now that he was covered in sand. However, she dared not to wake him. She decided instead to simply brush as much sand as she could out of his hair. She smiled a little at his sweet sleeping face.

She wanted more than anything just to wrap her arms around him and never let him go. To hold him tightly in her arms. Even as when he returned to normal. She just wanted to wrap her arms around his long body and hold him close. Showing him that she would never let him go. Never let him get hurt, without hurting those who harmed him in return.

It seemed that's what Lucifer did to her, it brought out her own hellfire. That drive he had when he was passionate, or angered by something. That pushed him forward. That never allowed him to stop till he fixed the problem. Till he stopped the bad guys. Till he gets back to her.

"I flew back...just to tell you something."

His hellfire sparked her own. The fire to protect those she loved. To help those who had been wronged. To solve the crime, and bring about justice to those who had lost their lives to meaningless acts of violence or hate. That was her fire. That was her drive. She silently thanked the young devil who was curled up in her arms, as she brushed the last bit of sand out of his hair.

Chloe carried him to her room, laying him down under the sheets in the bed. As she did her hand brushed his, suddenly the detective found herself feeling very drowsy. Stumbling a few feet onto the bed. Before instantly falling asleep beside the devil.

Chloe found herself in the desert as she slowly rose to her feet. Dust fell over her clothes as she squinted trying to focus on where she was as the desert sun glared down on her.

"W-what the…" she murmured as her eyes slowly started to focus on the man that stood several feet in front of her.

His back turned to her. His eyes staring up towards the sky. "Father…" his murmured softly.

Chloe's eyes took another second for her to realize something that she had missed. His wings. How she had missed the two large angel wings sprouting from her partner's back was beyond her. They looked odd though. They didn't look like the wings Lucifer had shown her a while back. They looked more like young Lucifer's wings.

"No...wait...this can't be…" she whispered to herself.

"Oh, but it is luv." A voice behind her said causing the detective to jump with fright. Chloe quickly turned to look at the voice.

"L-Lucifer." She stammered as she stared at her partner. Who smiled softly back at her.

"Hello, detective."

"But...wait is this…"

"The past." He nodded to her. His dark eyes staring down at her as she stared at the older version of her friend. "About halfway to where I would like to be." He said in his typical soft tone.

She turned back to him, seeing that he was dressed in his normal attire. She relaxed a bit realizing he was no longer bleeding. He saw her sighed, and gently took her hand.

Decker's face turned pink, to her pure embarrassment, and to the devil's amusement. "Detective, I don't think we can do that here." She quickly punched him in the shoulder with her free hand. "Ow, detective I'm still healing."

"So, you're halfway?"

Lucifer nodded back to her.

"But the fall was so long ago."

"Correct," he said oh so smoothly. The detective had to hold back another blush. "However, my dear Detective time moves differently in hell, and honestly it's all one punishment induced blur."

"So...you'll be back soon…" Chloe said nervously.

"Why, do you want me to be Detective?" Lucifer said leaning closer to her. His hot breath blows down on her face. Sending waves of emotion down her spine.

Chloe nodded softly. Lucifer smiled at that. "Then I'll be back in a blink of an eye." He said kissing her cheek. His eyes finally turned back towards his former self. As the man, he once was begged towards the heavens for, forgiveness. Only to be rejected for all of eternity.

He once longed for his return to heaven. Back to being his father's favorite. To please his father to no end. However, it to several millennia, an escape from hell, and a brilliant detective to allow him to see he didn't need his father forgiveness.

He looked back at Chloe again. She squeezed his hand gently, as she kissed his cheek in return.

No, he didn't need that forgiveness at all. He had something much better.

"Soon...I'll be back to you soon." He said in a murmur, as she watched his former self-wander off into the distance.

No, now he had her love, and that was better than any apology.
