"So what exactly does a marriage entail?" Lucifer asked as he handed you an opened pomegranate.

"I don't know, really... I suppose from the ones that I have attended, it tends to be two people, an officiator and guests. We stand at the front of the crowd and the officiator stands in front of us. Then... well... we both say out vows."

"What are those?" He found himself inching closer to you, despite a look from Cerberus that told him to back off. But Lucifer was the original master and therefore, he did what he wanted.

"Well, uh, we promise each other things. Like... to take care of each other and to love each other and things like that. I suppose they could be whatever you would want... So we wouldn't promise to love each other, but perhaps to love any baby that could come along." You tangled your fingers through Cerberus' fur.

"Well that all sounds very manageable." He stood to his full height, "Shall I get started on the preparations? It should only take me perhaps an hour or so. Should you like a large amount of guests, or jut a few?"

"Whatever suits you, Lucifer. What say you if we were to postpone the wedding until... until you knew if I was with child? No point in having it otherwise." Your eyes had been cast downward, but they briefly looked up at the beautiful blues of Lucifer.

He frowned, surprising you enough to look up at him fully.

"No point?" He asked quietly.

"Well, you see," You reeled back, perturbed to have been the cause of his frown. "I-I just, really I just didn't want to have a ceremony binding us if... if it didn't work... does that make sense?"

"I'm sure it will work. Could you trust me? Would you say yes if I ensured that you can have a family with me? Perhaps a demon would be able to do it if I were not able to... But regardless, I would like you as my own. Could you not promise me to stay by my side?" He laid his head in your lap, next to Cerberus', and tried to compromise.

"But... I don't know if I love you enough to make that promise..." Your fingers ran through his blonde locks, feeling each silky strand pass over your grassy skin.

"How could I persuade you?" His fingers tickled along your thigh as he gazed at your skin. "I could pleasure you more... Or perhaps I could make a declaration of my love? I could write it down for you... I could promise to share you with whomever pleases you..."

"Shh." You placed your finger over his lips, quieting him. "Can't you just be patient? If you are so sure about your fertility and compatibility, then what would some extra time be? Aren't you an eternal being?"

"Yes... I am quite patient..." He muttered. "Pet my wings, Persepho--YN. Could you?"

Smiling, you ran your fingers through the wings on his head.

"Are you lonely, Lucifer?" You asked him quietly.

"Now that I've met you... I think I must have been."
