Thana's pov

"So are you going to tell me where you hid the Fertility fairies," I smirk at Morana's question as I make my way into my cottage, she slumps on the couch, arms crossed and looking at me expectantly. After capturing the fairies I had sent Morana home, I didn't need her to be a liability; she didn't need to know where I would hide them.

"I already told you, I can't tell you."

Morana glares at me, causing my smirk to grow. "What if something happens to you no one will be able to recover the fairies if no one knows where they are," Morana explains as a last effort to get me to tell her. I give her a pointed look with a smirk adorning my features.

"Well, I guess that is my way of making sure Michael doesn't kill me, he knows how much he needs those fairies, so if I'm the only one that knows, then I'm safe," I explain and Morana immediately huffs in annoyance at my words. I walk towards her as she huffs.

"Fine, don't tell me," Before I can respond, a knock sounds at my door. It opens, and Kasedeya pokes her head through with a glare directed to me. 

"Lucifer is here, and he wants to speak with you." She grumbles out, and I shake my head at her jealousy. Before I can say anything, Morana jumps up squealing.

"Well send him in, send him in!" The scowl on Kasedeya's face deepens as Morana rushes towards her and pushes her out of the way. The door opens, and a brooding Lucifer stands waiting with his arms crossed, seeming dejected. His eyes find me, and I notice the red flames ignite a little. 

"Come in. We were just leaving!" Morana exclaims as she drags a fuming Kasedya behind her and shutting the cottage door leaving Lucifer and me alone in my cottage. 

Lucifer eyes me for a moment, his eyes trailing down my dress before meeting back with my eyes. He takes a step towards me, his hands fixing the cuffs on his suit. 

"You get all dressed up to see me?" I tease with a smile causing Lucifers eyebrows to raise in surprise at my words. He then smirks as the flames in his eyes seem to shine brighter, hungrier.

"I'd rather not be dressed at all with you," Lucifer states cooly as his hands drop by his sides, the only other thing to do instead of grabbing me. My cheeks flush at his words. I try not to picture Lucifer naked, especially in the way he is implying. "But that is not why I am here." His face suddenly turns serious, and I await his reasoning. 

"You just declared war on my brother." 

I nod in agreement, and he glares at me. "I wasn't invited."

I smirk, "Aww does the devil feel left out," I coo in a baby voice. 

"Yes, actually." 

I smirk and resist the urge to taunt him, "Well, I didn't want you to have to pick a side, that wouldn't be fair."

Lucifer snickers at my words, "Pick a side, between my brother and girlfriend, obviously, I'll choose the girlfriend over that dick any day," The way his words flutter through the air so casually makes my heart flutter and cheeks flush, like a highschooler hearing that her crush likes her as well. 

"Girlfriend?" 

"Would you prefer the term lover?" Lucifer curiously asks as he sits on my couch as if he owned the place. "I haven't gotten you in my bed just yet, so I didn't feel that title fit," Lucifer explains again, too causal for my comfort, even though my body was heating up at the thought. I stand rigid before him looking down into his eyes in shock.

"Lucifer we are not humans in highschool we don't have boyfriends and girlfriends," I explain as if I am talking to a child, this causes him to glare at me. 

"Well excuse me I didn't know you wanted me to skip to husband and wife," Lucifer states with a shrug, "I just felt that was moving too fast seeing as I haven't made you scream my name yet," Lucifer explains as if that would make it make sense. 

"Lucifer!" I shout at the audacity.

"No love, not like that, you sound angry at me, try to add more of a moan to it." 

I glare at him, causing him to snicker and smirk. "I see it, and I'm not the only one with lustful thoughts. Thana, I'm the man of sin, you can't hide your dirty desires from me," He ends his sentence with a wink. 

"There is nothing between us," I state firmly, and if he wasn't the angel of lies maybe he would have believed me, but instead in a split second I am slammed into a wall, his body flush against me as his eyes rage wildly, the fire in them out of control.

"So nothing? You feel nothing, I don't believe it, angel, you and I both feel something, neither of us knows why but we both feel it, and it's more than just attraction, it's like we belong to each other," His whispered words are louder than a scream as they wash over me. "From the first moment I laid eyes on you, I knew you were mine, and I was yours, but I don't know why or how."

We stand there for a moment as we both ponder his words. Why did we feel like this, we didn't have soul mates here, that was an earthly thing. Reapers didn't worry about love, just about getting our job done. The devil didn't worry about a girlfriend, but about the souls condemned in his hell.

Yet here we were tangled in earthly emotions. 

Lucifer's dark red eyes look deep into my own. His hand grasp my cheek softly. "Stop fighting against it, let go." 

Let go. 

The words ring through my body, to just let go. I wanted to so bad but I was scared. 

"I can't, I'm scared," I whisper truthfully as I let the wall that guards my fears drop. 

"You can call war on heaven with out fear but you are scared of me," I can hear the pain in Lucifers voice as he tries to mask it, He goes to take a step back but my hands quickly grab his suit jacket so he can't move from me. He looks at me in confusion. 

"I'm not scared of you. I'm scared of what will happen after you." I breathe out, "What will happen after I let go and fall into you," I whisper ads I beg him to understand.

"I'll catch you, always," Lucifer's words are sincere and without a moment to talk myself out of it I reach up and let my lips touch his softly. His lips move against mine an in a moment we are not a devil and a reaper, but two highschoolers who just confessed our crush on each other, the simplicity and innocence of it wraps around us like a quilt as if we were not more than two earthly beings, for once we were like humans caught up in an emotion they felt realizing why they felt it so strongly, why they went to war for it, why they killed for it. Why they died for it, even if they barely understood it themselves. 

The darkness inside me consumed it selfishly, knowing if I ever lost it, destruction would follow with it leading its path.

Short chapter i know i just needed to get something out there to get back into the swing of things. 

I do not know when I will be updating again, I have a hurricane heading towards me so I'm not sure how that will play out and I have 11 days before my due date and she could actually come any day now. I was checked to see how far I'm dilated yesterday and I am half a cm. I will try to update once more before she is born but this is my first baby so I don't know how long it will be before I have her, or how early. 

Thank you all for being so patient, I hope to update for you soon!
