Slow Understanding

  "Oh my god..." You stared at the dark-haired man- well technically - in shock. "Y-You're actually Lucifer... Like Lucifer."

"Yes I am, I have been trying to tell you that for a long time, darling." He spoke with a smirk while he flipped his floating coin. "I am sorry you saw a glimpse of my real face-"

"The real thing...the real Devil..." You mumble as one of your hands rake through your (hair color) locks. You were desperately trying to wrap your head around the fact that your supposed best friend was the king of Hell. He did tell you many times that he was in fact Satan but you always dismissed it as his sense of humor. That was until you saw his actual face on accident. He had been threatening someone when you walked in and that is when you saw him; the true him. Now here you were, internally trying to reason with your discovery.

"Don't tell me this changes anything, (Y/N)." He rolled his eyes before he slowly approached you. "C'mon, we've been practically best friends since I first stepped foot in Los Angeles. Are you going to leave me now?" You glance at Lucifer, taking him all in at the moment. You could see the sincerity in his face as he silently pleaded you would stay.

"Well... I can't just throw out years of putting up with your snarky ass." You let out a small chuckle as you saw Lucifer's face brighten up. "It is just going...to take me a while to get used to you actually being dark and scary Satan."

"Quiet understandable, my dear. I am just glad we can move forwards with our relationship and get over this...minor bump in the road." He sent a crooked grin while he poured the both of you a glass of whiskey.

"Minor bump? Yes, finding out your friend is the Devil is just a minor bump."

"Ouch, hurtful." He slid your glass across the bar to you before joining you. "Cheers." You both raise your glasses before taking a swig in sync.

"So like, did it hurt?"

"You know I don't feel-"

"When you fell from heaven?"

"Oh ha ha, very funny." He gave you a pat on your shoulder. "Glad your staying as my friend, (Y/N)."

"Aww, Lucifer is a softee."

"Oh shut it."
