I awoke the next morning to find hot arms wrapped around my waist and a face buried in my chest. I chuckled softly, nudging Lucifer. "Hey, you gotta wake up. I've got to go to the hotel and watch over your daughter."

The King of Hell startled, bolting upright in bed. "Oh—uh, I'm so sorry!" he blurted, his hands waving in front of his face as his cheeks reddened.

I grabbed his hands, smiling gently. "Please calm down, Luci. I'll be fine, and you were so good," I purred, reassuring him. It was endearing to see this powerful being so flustered, and I couldn't help but feel a warmth spreading through my chest.

He took a deep breath and his shoulders relaxed. "You're right, Y/N. I'm sorry for overreacting. I just...I really enjoyed our time together, and I don't want it to end."

I chuckled softly, fluffing my wings behind me and gently taking Lucifer's hand, pressing it to my cheek as I leaned into his touch. "Don't worry, darling, it won't end completely. I just need to do my job, you know. Your daughter took me in when I was at my lowest. Sure, it was Alastor who found me, but your daughter allowed me to stay at her hotel."

A soft smile graced my lips—the first truly genuine smile I could ever remember giving. (Not that Sir Pentious hadn't made me smile during our little outing, but this felt different somehow.)Lucifer returned the smile, his eyes softening. "I understand, Y/N. Duty calls, as they say. But I must admit, I'm selfishly hoping that we can find time to be together again soon."

I nodded, my fingers intertwining with his. "I'd like that, too, Luci. Very much."

I reluctantly released Lucifer's hand and rose from the bed, letting the covers pool around my body. I could feel his gaze trailing over my frame, and he let out a breathy, "Oh fuck me."

I chuckled softly, amused by his response. "Now, now, darling. I've already done that, and I have somewhere to be. I'll see you soon enough." I trailed a claw teasingly over his nose before standing and stretching my black wings, the star-specked appendages spanning out behind me."Goodbye, Lucifer," I called in a sing-song tone over my shoulder, snapping my fingers as I walked out of the bedroom and into the foyer. With one last glance back at the King of Hell, I stepped into the flames of the underworld and disappeared.

When I reappeared at the hotel, I was greeted by a chaotic scene. Sir Pentious was being held back from attacking Felix, and Chan was struggling to restrain him. The whole group looked a bit ragged and tense.

"Hey, hey!" I snapped, my voice cutting through the tension. The boys fell silent, Sir Pentious ceasing his struggles in Charles' grip.

I glanced around at them, arching a brow. "What's going on here?"

"That, that..." Sir Pentious stuttered, flaring his ruff in agitation. "That fucker said that he wanted you for himself, that he wouldn't share you or something—I don't know, I just heard him disrespect you, my dear!" He looked at me with worry. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have overreacted, but still!"

I sighed, rubbing the bridge of my nose. "It's alright, Sir Pentious. I understand why you're upset." Turning to Felix, who had been released from his leader's grip, I nodded. "Felix, a word, please."

He nodded, not looking guilty in the slightest, and I knew that Sir Pentious must have misunderstood. Still, I wanted to hear Felix's side of the story for myself.

As we climbed the stairs to my room, tension hung thick in the air between us. Once we were inside, I closed the door behind us and sighed. "Did you really tell Sir Pentious that you don't want to share me? What am I to you, huh? Some kind of fuck toy?" I sneered, my anger boiling to the surface.

Felix's eyes flashed, and he shook his head vehemently. "No, no, no. I never said that. I just heard him whispering to Niffty about how he really wanted you."

I narrowed my eyes, still not convinced. More lies? I hissed, my thoughts racing. I thought lying was Lucifer's job, for God's sake! He's the god of lies!

Sighing, I closed my eyes, trying to calm myself down. "I need the truth, Felix. No more sweetened lies. Do you want me?"

Felix's cheeks reddened, and he let his shoulders fall in defeat. "I do, in fact. Me and the Body, too. I thought you knew that—you didn't just save us, you made us fall in love," he admitted, a bitter laugh escaping his lips. "I guess we're not unique, are we? Everyone in this hotel loves you."

I blinked, taken aback by his confession. That was something I hadn't considered at all. Sure, I knew that the Body had some kind of fondness for me, but I hadn't realized that it would be love. Hell, I thought love was just something that dragons felt when they were broken and low.

"Look, I don't know how in the stars' sake you grew to love me, Feli, but..." I trailed off, rubbing my head and fluttering my wings nervously. "I don't know if I can give you—or your brothers—any love like that."

Felix shook his head, a gentle smile gracing his lips. "We will wait, Y/N. Me and the boys will never force ourselves on you. We won't hurt you," he promised, taking my hands and pressing a kiss to each of my knuckles.

The sincerity in his voice and the warmth of his touch sent a strange feeling through me—something that I couldn't quite identify. I searched his eyes, trying to make sense of what I was feeling.

"Felix, I..." I started, but the words died on my lips. I wasn't sure what I wanted to say, or if I even had the right words to express what was going through my mind.

"Shh," Felix hushed, pressing a gentle kiss to the tip of my nose. "Don't worry, darling. I don't need an answer now, and we don't need one now. Just listen to your heart, okay? We will always be here, waiting, even if we may not stay in Hell."

His warmth enveloped me as he pulled me close, and I couldn't help but smile as I took in his scent. There was something comforting about his presence, and I felt my worries begin to melt away.

"Thank you, Felix," I whispered, leaning my forehead against his. "I'm glad to have you—and Stray Kids—in my life."He smiled back at me, his eyes sparkling. "We're glad to be here, Y/N. And remember, no matter what happens, we'll always be here for you."
