And lonely seemed to be exactly what he was. Each and every day seemed to circulate around you and your needs. Not that you could tell when a day passed by. Instead, you asked to venture around the Underworld, tried to train when you could and hoped that you were harboring what would be a baby at this point.
One day, you would learn all about how babies were actually formed, but for now, you thought it was just a microscopic baby that came from Lucifer and was harbored by you. And Lucifer didn't know any better either. In fact, he often held your stomach, trying to decipher if there was anything living in there.
Today was no different and he had insisted that you come to the throne room in order for him to check in on you. This meant that your large cavern, which now had a few bed-like and chair-like furniture items, had a new tunnel as well.
That was how Lucifer had decided to open up the Underworld to you. The very first tunnel he had opened was one that lead to the pomegranate trees. This lightened your mood considerably, although you wondered how they grew with no sunshine. A small river ran through that room, and you figured that the roots reached down into the wet soil beneath the floor. Sometimes, when you felt dusty, or just bored, you would sit by the river and toss sticks taken from your trees into it and then racing it while trying to hold human form. It seemed like a great exercise to you and each time you practiced it, it felt as if you were able to hold form just a second longer.
Another tunnel that had opened up rather quickly was a separate hall for Cerberus. Despite his dog-like appearance, he was still a demon and Lucifer didn't like him around when he spent any type of intimate time with you. But you also had begun to take some time to train him. Sitting, staying, rolling over; it was pretty difficult. Cerberus didn't really want to learn these tricks, but he knew that Satan would have his heads if he didn't.
And today, you were walking down the tunnel to the throne room. A little bit nervous, it sounded like there was at least one other demon grunting and possibly... fornicating... with another. You shuddered as you hoped it would be over by the time you arrived.
Unfortunately, that was not the case. And it was not two demons. Instead, a single demon had its head in Lucifer's lap and his legs hanging off of its shoulders.
"Ah, YN." He opened his eyes and looked at you. "Just a moment."
You watched, shocked, as his wings shuddered and the demon in front of him made some kind of gross noise.
"I... can come back..." you whispered. This was so incredibly awkward. It was so bad, that you wished you would just disintegrate then and there.
