5 Chapter Four

They flew for what seemed like hours, 'that looks like a good spot.', exclaimed Lucifer. He landed with a soft thud. They were in a little courtyard of a farm, there was washing on the line and low and behold their owners were similar in stature to Lucifer and Asta. They ducked into the barn and dressed themselves in the stolen clothing. Asta sat on a hay bale while Lucifer stood fidgeting, 'what's wrong?' she asked, 'huh... nothing!', 'DO NOT LIE TO ME!' she roared 'after the shit you put me through you don't get to lie', Lucifer stood there dumbfounded, he cast his eyes down, 'I'm so very sorry!'. 'I may have forgiven you but that still doesn't mean I don't want an explanation and saying 'you' don't know what happened... I'm sorry but I'm not buying it! So I'll ask you again. What's wrong? Why are you fidgeting? You are making me feel uneasy!'. Asta folded her arms and was tapping her foot, the more he didn't speak the quicker her foot went, 'I'm waiting!' she snarled. Lucifer grabbed hold of her and pulled her towards him into his embrace, 'you are very special!' he murmured softly, 'do you know what happens when a demon falls in love?', Asta shook her head the best she could as Lucifer had hold of the back of her head and her face was squashed against his chest.

'They get the fuzzy wuzzys?' she giggled and Lucifer, trying to hold himself together and failing miserably, heartily reciprocated with a chuckle. Killing himself laughing and through gasps of air, 'fuzzy wuzzys'. 'Where did you get such a phrase?', 'It was a comedy show called "Stan Against Evil"...I miss that show 😭.', Lucifer sat down next to her, the smell of hay and clean clothes wafted around them Lucifer broke the silence 'do you want the unabridged or abridged version?' 'well we have all night, so... unabridged I guess.'. Lucifer talked throughout the night...

Many demons have infact have fallen in love and been with their beloved for many, many years without incident but they were low level. For Lucifer it's a 50/50 chance that his love will be his and humanity's downfall. That is bad for all involved especially Asta as he will devour her alive without mercy. And that will spark the biblical apocalypse. The whole fire and brimstone raining down and demons walking the earth, the whole nine yards.

Lucifer sat quietly watching Asta trying to assimilate what he had told her, she wept silently into her hands. He reached forward but stopped, unsure whether he would be rejected by her. She fell sideways, her head resting on his knees. He gently placed his hand on her head and started to stroke her mousy brown hair, tears dripped onto his knees soaking the grey sweat pants. 'It's light, we should get going.', Asta nodded silently. They crept out of the barn, Asta followed Lucifer. He swooped her up into his arms and with a running leap they were airborne. 'Where should we go? as I think it will be too dangerous to go back home.' , 'but we need to go back! Please Lucifer we have to or at least I have to.'. He scowled at her, but he knew she was right, 'okay'.

He set her down in a park just outside of town. 'Be careful, Asta! I'll wait for you here. (she nodded) If you need me just shout, I will hear you!'. He grabbed hold of her and held her in a tight embrace, before he let her go, he kissed her forehead. Released from his grip she walked away.
