Chapter 50: Will you?
Lucifer's POV
In the bible Lucifer was made to be the antagonist of all believers and was used to monger fear in order for the humans to place their faith more on God and His angels.
In every fairy tale, Satan must end up crawling back to hell with his tail between his legs.
In every fiction, I must be shunned, avoided, resented, and feared.
Could Lucifer have a happily ever after?
Would anyone even make me a prince?
Today, I waited in the throne room after I made sure that Keetan was free from any after sex pain. Having my dick inactive for years made me feel like I was a virgin again. I wanted to stick my stick to his hole until he declared an impossible pregnancy that became true—a miracle.
I guess Disney wouldn't make a movie out of a pervert like me.
Today, I was in the throne room after making sure that my sweet little darling was free from pain from having experienced my rough loving. And I just can't believe that he was finally here and I made love to him again. Having my dick inactive for years, sex last night made me feel like I was a virgin. I wonder if Samael got Lucian pregnant? That would be annoying seeing little Samael babies running around and destroying hell.
But then again...I do know a secret that not even Samael knew. The question above was unnecessary.
Anyway, back to my thoughts of fairy tales. Was I that diabolical to not have my own fairy tale? I only torture souls and make humans fall into doing sins. Sure I ruined families by making demons possess their bodies, but that wasn't that bad right? Humans even made movies about it so they must have a fetish for demonic possessions.
If I were to make my own fairy tale I would be a King who had fallen in love with the Prince of a neighboring kingdom. The Prince had reciprocated his love; however, seeing that their mutual affection was forbidden, they secretly met under the bridge by the river. The Prince's father discovered their love. To maintain his image, the King cursed his son to death. The broken-hearted King, thinking that his lover was long gone, became ruthless and violent. He tormented lives, waged wars, and transformed into a red-skinned monster.
People made stories about him to scare their children at night. For many years the merciless King entertained his bruised heart by feeding from the agony of others. He didn't want anyone to be happy. He wanted to share the pain he was feeling.
One day, an innocent boy got lost and ended up in the Kingdom of Misery. The King, seeing that the boy had the same features of the Prince who he loved dearly, took in the boy by force. He took care of him and made him happy. They fell in love and the King realized that the boy was his supposedly deceased lover who had woken up from his deep slumber. They lived happily ever after.
"This plot is trash," I mumbled and deleted the file that I was working on. I shut my laptop and made it disappear. "Happily ever after...who am I, Thomas?" I chuckled.
I heard the angel of my life call my name and my mood immediately brightened up. I opened my arms to welcome him and I prepared myself for the bundle of joy and sweetness that will soon snuggle up to me.
I hope he loved the dragon I got him. Mochi was already 16 years old so he was still a teenager. Unlike the ancient dragons, these modern dragons only had one form. They can't transform into humans.
I pulled Keetan on my lap and pampered him with kisses.
"How was your day? Did you like your gift?"
"Yes! I really love Mochi."
"And Edward?" I was really surprised that he was here in hell. It was a good thing that one of the demons that I have assigned to take care of the few people who I wanted to be safe, saved Edward before he was eaten.
But then...I don't really care if he died. My only priorities were Derek and his family.
Keetan's beautiful smile deescalated a bit which gave me a conclusion that their parting was doleful. "He returned now."
I intertwined our fingers together. "That's good." I raised his face and gave him a smooch on the lips. Mochi stared with his tongue out and he seemed as if he wanted to jump between us and join our cuddling. "Let's have dinner at the beach tonight," I told him. I was nervous. I know it was too early for him but we needed to seal our relationship already as soon as possible.
"I have...something to tell you."
Keetan cocked his head to the side and gave me a curious look. His green eyes were sparkling like emeralds and I wasn't exaggerating. They really were. Keetan was considered as one of the most beautiful angels in heaven during the time when he was Miniel. The town he just lived in just reeked with homophobia so men were hesitant to approach him.
And among all those cowards, Edward had the balls to reveal his love and it took him time.
Too bad I beat him to it.
"What is it?" Keetan questioned.
I placed a finger against my lips and gave him a teasing look. "It's a secret."
Keetan bounced on my lap. "Tell me!" He demanded.
"It's a secret," I laughed. "Let's get breakfast now."
Keetan pouted like a child but instantly regretted it. "O–Oh okay. I'll wait. I'm sorry for acting pushy."
I kissed his forehead and then his nose. The personalities of Miniel and Keetan clashed. It was cute how he tried to suppress the personality that he adapted from Miniel.
We went to the dining room. I invited Abel and Cain to eat with us because I knew that Keetan would ask for them to join us. Mochi had his own plate too.
Like the throne room, the ceiling was high. The doors in this castle were 50 meters wide and 100 meters tall. The reason for this was because some creatures in hell were too damn overgrown. The walls, floors, and ceilings of the castle were the same materials as the arena. The furniture was made of silver, gold or diamonds. I had Archduke Greed design everything. Food was ready and Mochi gobbled the food right after sitting.
Once we finished eating, I told Cain and Abel to tour Keetan around the castle. I wanted to check how Samael handled the mess that we made in Keetan's town.
I turned on the television in my room and switched to a human broadcasting channel.
"It is a grave and catastrophic freak of nature which wiped off an entire town from the map. A volcano that sprang out of nowhere erupted and killed the entire population." The camera scene switched, showing the whole town from the view of the helicopter. The area where the arena was built was replaced by a volcano that continued to exhale smoke and ash.
"Hey Satan! Lemme in!" Samael demanded. I turned off the television and snapped my fingers. The cocky looking reaper swung the door open.
"So, I'm a genius right?"
"You went a little overboard but good job," I praised.
"I know. You're lucky you have me on your side!" He boasted. His cocky smile fainted which garnered curiosity. Uh...hey. I uh...want to tell you something."
I crossed my legs and waited. He took his sweet time beating around the bush. It made me think that he was going to make a love confession which was impossible. "Are you going to confess your love for me?" I teased.
He gave out a look of disgust. "What the fuck? Ew man!"
"Then what is it?"
Samael sighed heavily. "I want to resign as a reaper."
"You were never hired. You forced yourself in this position because you thought that Francis wasn't doing a good job," I deadpanned. Francis was a skeleton man who I hired in place of Samael who annoyed the crap out of me. "But why?"
Samael shifted from one leg to another. "I want to search for Lucian just like Caleb. You solved your own love life now so just seeing you two will make me bitter because I have no one."
I felt a pang of guilt hit me. I tried to tell him. I really did. But some force was preventing me from doing it.
My life was just controlled by the dark forces and I don't even watch Star Wars.
"If that's what you want then I have no say in it. I'll hire Francis in your place," I said with a wicked smile.
Samael grabbed a fistful of hair from his head in frustration."Can you hire someone else though? He ruins my awesome reputation."
I looked up in thought. Samael could collect 1000 souls a week while Francis barely collected a hundred. The reason why I even hired him was because I wanted to insult Samael. I knew he loved the job as a reaper so I thought that if he saw how horrible the one who replaced him was doing, he'd make an entrance and force himself in the job.
No one does the job better than he does.
"I'll see what I can do," I told him.
Samael grinned. "Thanks Lucy. I know you'll miss me so spare me the tears."
"Who says I'll cry when you're gone?"
"I know you will," he laughed. "Is there anything I can do before I leave?"
"Kill yourself," I replied which made him throw me a chair. I didn't bother to dodge since it didn't hurt me.
I thought of any favors to ask him and finally thought of something. "Compose a song for us and sing it later tonight."
Samael gave me a 'I-know-what-this-is-for' look. "That was fast. Are you inviting me? This is my second time attending a wedding and I didn't even see the face of Thomas' husband. Weird right?"
I nodded. I myself was invited and I never had the chance to see his face.
"Expect to have your song later. I should have a talent fee."
"You're paid 100 tons of gold every month," I deadpanned.
"I need an increase then," he retorted. "And my fucking benefits. Do you know how much taxes I pay?"
"If I increase your pay, your taxes will increase as well," I gritted. This fucking dimwit was getting on my nerves. He knew he was annoying me. Just look at that face.
"Well at least I get an increase."
"Bitch get out," I sighed.
"Bitch I will!" He laughed. Only him...only him can annoy me this much.
I began the necessary preparations on the beach and did my job for the rest of the day. I pray to myself that he will accept it. The hardest part of being Satan was that you don't know who to pray to when you're the one in trouble. My hands were a bit shaky by nightfall. I didn't show myself to Keetan who then kept pestering Cain and Abel about my whereabouts.
I never felt this nervous before. The last time I was nervous was when I still hid my relationship with Miniel in heaven. I was always suave in everything I do.
I went to pick up the ring I ordered from Mammon, the Lord of Greed for a fair price. He wouldn't overcharge me as he would with other customers. Most jewelry shops here sell fake accessories or so I've heard. No one dared to pull those things on me.
They knew how it would end for them.
I received the bag from the succubus and double-checked the contents. It was a black diamond ring with white small diamonds on each side. The band was made of white gold.
I met up with Cain who paced back and forth. "Where's Keetan?" I asked him.
"Samael already took him to the beach."
My eyes widened. "What?!" I teleported to the beach and truth as it was Samael was already singing beside Keetan with his wooden guitar. Hundreds of candles floated like dragonflies. A white pavement floated above the seashore. There was a tree sprouting red leaves on the pavement.
Everything was perfect and this bonehead decided to ruin it.
My anger evaporated when I heard the lyrics of Samael and saw the blushing face of Keetan.
"It's true I'm no good at being good.
But I'm still just a man who cries as I should.
My heart has always been a wreck.
So boy come here and give my heart a check."
"Won't you, won't you, stay with me?
Cause you're, all I really need.
This is love oh this is love.
I've always been in love with you."
"Why am I so heartless?
Has my life always been so starless?
You know my tears are not for show.
I cry it's because I love you so."
"Oh baby, marry me.
Cause you're, all I need.
I'm in love oh I'm in love.
I want to spend my life with you."
I warped myself to the venue which surprised Keetan who already have tears streaming down his face.
"Keetan Halo..." Samael started and bent down on one knee. "Will you..." I stared at Samael in great astonishment. What the hell was he doing? "Marry that crazy son-of-a-bitch standing over there for me?"
Keetan looked at Samael in shock and then at me. I took the box from the paper bag and threw it at Samael who caught it.
He opened the box and revealed the ring. Keetan wiped his eyes and nodded furiously.
"I will! I will marry Mister Wall!" He replied in such enthusiasm, making me feel like an idiot for even thinking he'd reject me.
"Well thank Satan then," Samael chuckled. He took the ring out of the box and slipped it on Keetan's ring finger. I walked behind Keetan and hugged him. He turned around and jumped, wrapping his arms around my neck and kissing me.
"I thought you were gonna betray me," I laughed and darted my vision to the ex-reaper.
"I was just securing my place in that wedding guest list. Don't want you to forget me!" He laughed. I hugged Keetan tightly and kissed his head. The waves were calmer tonight. The clouds that hid the moon slowly moved away and gave us more light.
The dark and lonely part of my life finally came to an end. I had fallen from grace. For centuries I kept looking for something that could fill the void that grew bigger and bigger. I led humanity astray while I was lost and it was a role I did best. If this was God's plan for me, I would be happy to become His greatest enemy as long as I had Keetan by my side.
"I love you Mister Wall," he whispered.
Everything started with temptation...
I bit the apple and sinned.
But temptation turned into love and love caused war.
War separated us and broke us apart but even so...it was God who gave a way for us to be with each other again even if it wasn't on purpose.
I guess I should credit Him. He reincarnated Miniel and if it weren't for that...I wouldn't have my sweet love in my arms.
Love was a bittersweet emotion. It was a powerful one that could either bring peace or cause destruction.
Though I have fallen it caused my greatest rise. I obtained my greatest loss and I became the greatest fallen.
Why Lucifer betrayed God would always be a lie to be told. I became too prideful and too greedy. I craved power.
"I love you too. I love you more than anything in the world. I love you more than my life, my honor, and my dignity. I will give up everything for you and I will start wars just to be with you. You're my greatest weakness and my greatest strength. I love you Keetan. Welcome home."
Samael cried in the background. "Oh joy! Mochi you toothless sucker, give me a hug!" I don't know how Mochi got here but the thing magically did what he was told.
And now we have a crying cow on our engagement night.
Keetan began to laugh. It was music to my ears. He embraced my side and breathed in my scent.
Hell had never been this nice. "I'm finally home."
