Lucifer's POV:

The next thing I knew, I woke up in a hospital my head wracking in pain, knowing only that it knew pain.

A numb feeling went up my wrist as I lifted the arm and saw a tube running into it.

The numbness was caused by an IV line was running up my veins along with a blood packet making its way up my nerves.

I tried to tilt my head to the left to see how my vitals were doing on the monitor but then, it was normal.

Weird. I should have died instantly, regardless of being saved by someone moments before.

And what was more weird was the girl I was supposed to protect, was resting her head beside my right hand, holding it tightly as I felt her warm touch once I got my bearings of the surroundings.

As if I were the one being protected.

" Dammit, it hurts...what time is it?" I asked myself, trying to steal a glance at the watch she was wearing but I accidentally woke her up.

I'm not doing a good job at anything I put my mind to...

And that's concerning...

" Wha-wha-whaaat?" She mumbled groggily as she pushed her hand onto my chest which made me make a quick sob in pain.

" AAAAGGGGHHHH!"

" Sorry!" She yelped as she flinched back. She checked if she cut any lines that were possibly keeping me alive and fortunately, she didn't.

Well, if I had died then, it would have been pretty embarrassing.

And that's how I went from being the protector to being the one hospitalised...

It just keeps getting better. In a bad way.

" Ugh. What happened?" I remembered to ask how I had saved her life, if it were in any real danger in the first place. Her expression turned from a smile to a frown of shock almost instantly.

" I-I don't know. Bu-but when I heard a voice from under the headphones, I turned back to see you push me off the road and I fell down right on my butt, hearing nothing but the sound of a screech accompanied by a blunt thud." She scratched her neck as if the memory itself itched her.

" When I looked at what happened, blood was everywhere and the vehicle was missing, you uncomfortably rolling on the road. The truck was gone, just like that. That son of a censored bleep didn't even apologise for the hit and run." She ran her hand through her hair in frustration.

" Son of a what?"

Then suddenly, she laughed.

" Lucky I this hospital was nearby and I risked running here and getting help. It turns out, you're rather lucky"

I looked at her, demanding an explanation.

" Girl. I fell from halo heaven, stark naked. And the next thing, I get slammed by a f*cking eight wheeler. I'm LUCKY?" I bit my lip, cementing the words in.

" Because they said I have the same blood type as you, huh? What are the chances of both of us having the same blood type?"

" Right...not too high, considering you're what?" I mumbled under my breath and looked at the plastic bag with the red liquid.

" AB positive."

" AB positive is a rare group after all!" She pointed at the front of her elbow, which had a bandage.

After all I was made to be her match. Her estimated Mr.Right were imbedded in my genetics but not my personality. Angel or human, I would be appealing to her in a sexual way.

Praying I don't mess up the personality bit.

And then, the nurse came in and said that I was being discharged and she took a look at her pad.

" Your vitals are like...inhuman. Your skull regenerated within a week, whereas it'll take a month at average." She began filling out something as she continued.

" A whole week?"

Consider yourself lucky. Unless she practices sorcery and her lineage escaped getting burnt alive. Thank her for being here all the time." The pigtails nurse handed me the pad to fill my bio, me thinking about the word lucky being thrown about and I paused midway.

I realized never received a name. In my dream, they never referred to me as someone.

Literally.

And then I realized the fact that I forgot all about the years I spent, as mental training for this one objective.

I never had a name. So, I acted as I had pain and handed it over to her and told her to help a chap out.

" I did save you, didn't I? I can't remember my name. And I seem to be mugged or something. I don't have anything on my name." And as the nurse began untangling me from the mess I was, I shot a pleading look.

" Please." With the most pitiable look.

She puffed her cheeks a bit in hesitation and mostly annoyance, but eventually she signed it and handed it back to the nurse.

" Thank you very much. Hope to see you again!" She smiled as closed the door and I stood up, fumbling over my footing.

" I have two questions" I announced to her and she looked at me expectedly as we walked out the hospital.

" Shouldn't they say that they hope to NOT see us again? Are they wishing us bad luck? That's pure work if the devil, you know?" I scratched my head with an idiotic grin while she gave a small laugh.

She seemed to know what my next question was before I asked it.

" Yes, I was here for the week. At least when the visiting hours were out. You did save me from going splat on the ground. I owed you, or so I thought until they stuck a needle in me." She blushed as she covered her face and made it look like a sneeze when I took her hand and looked at it again.

" I seriously thank you for not letting me rot there." I commented.

" I guess, this is it. Thank you, whoever you are." She held out her hand out for me to shake and I did as humans do.

" It's been a week..."

I shook her hand as my mind raced.

" Thank you for saving my life" I repeated the same as it was true. She giggled and continued.

" Okay let's get close and personal."

" So, what's your name, since you tried to avoid giving payment and didn't give her one?"

" But we'll be soon, Ms.Madison" I gave it a final thought in my mind and gave her a smile.

" I don't have one" I blurted out

" Uh...oh. So, I'm Madison, since you seem like someone I'll get along with great, stranger who's not yet a friend." She giggled at her own words.

" Oh ho, but we'll be soon, Miss Madison. I'm not failing any of these from now." I gave her a sly smile as we walked down the road, already feeling like accomplices.

But since this is my story, be sure to be disappointed.

Because I kept on falling further down the ladder.
