HELL
Lucien is sat on his throne, watching Luca in the distance not physically close but so close than he could have expected. He could see Luca's life in a full-every ordinary moment, every fleeting expression that flickered across his face. He could feel the subtle shift of Luca's breath as he woke up in the morning, the way his eyes lingered on the ring and a smile on his face. It was as if Lucien could read every moment, every glance and every thought Luca had, even if the said person wasn't aware of it. He didn't think the bond would be this strong to connect them into this one soul it was amazing.
Unlike the demons who weren't feeling like him, he watched as the demons around him laughed, teasing him relentlessly about the 'naïve bride' he had claimed for himself. "And here I thought your bride would be some ancient warrior, and a man!" Asmodeus annoying voice spoke out loud as they laughed at his comment. They found it amusing that he, the most feared demon had chosen a man especially one who seemed so fragile, thing in need of protection. The demons weren't wrong about the innocence that seemed to radiate from his bride, and Lucien couldn't deny that cause the way he was squirming on his lap, it made him smile as he remembered every single detail of what happened.
But Lucien had to admit he enjoyed it more than he expected, there was something intoxicating about the way his bride's eyes widened with confusion when his hand grazed his skin or the way his breath hitched when he pulled him close. His bride's naivety wasn't a weakness, it was..... charming.
"You don't get it, you will never understand. You can't see Luca for what he truly is" it was true, Lucien saw someone far more than just a naïve bride, a person full of untapped potential, someone he couldn't yet fathom now in his world. Maybe it's too early to tell but he looks forward to knowing him better.
His words hang in the air, the teasing had stopped for a brief moment as Lucien was too absorbed in the sight of his bride so captivating. So this time Dorian the other devil tried "look at him, so sweet....so delicate. Hardly seems like someone who could keep a demon like you entertained" but Lucien's eyes didn't leave his bride. The way his bride didn't hide his embarrassment but wore it like an open book....it stirred something in him that was both foreign and magnetic.
"He's more beautiful than I thought, his innocence.. it's like a hidden treasure. You have no idea how you make me want to protect you, ruin you and possess you all at once" his words were quite a ramble, only for his bride to hear, but the demons surrounding him stiffened at the possessiveness in his voice. They hadn't seen him like this...not so smitten. Usually he would find everything boring to death and nothing could satisfy him at all but he was.
"He's whipped isn't he?" Ignis voiced out not sure if this was good or bad "he's a goner" Asmodeus added with a smirk loving this drama a little too much. They watched as their master was sat on his throne his concentration never leaving the wide screen he could see Luca in real time so mesmerized and like nothing else mattered than what he was looking at currently.
Lucien continued to watch Luca going on with his daily life, he could see the way you would light up when he greeted the few villagers he passed by always so kind, how he got excited when he met this guy at school and hugging him, must be his friend. Also how his brow furrowed in concentration when he wrote his pen dancing over the paper as he crafted little notes that never failed to leave an impression. And yet there were moments when Lucien saw something hidden beneath the surface of those gentle actions.
When Luca thought no one was watching, his hands shook slightly when he cleaned a wound and those distressed emotions from the past, just so much.... Lucien's heart clenched, how curious. How... deliciously complicated.
But it wasn't the quiet moments that captured Lucien. No, it was the way Luca could smile so genuinely even after everything. It was as though the boy was living in contradiction, so innocent yet bearing the quiet strength of someone who had already seen too much. He leaned back, allowing a rare smile tug at his lips, he had come to claim him, control him. But now.....now it seemed he was the one being pulled deeper into the story Luca was living unlike trying to be indifferent.

BACK TO EARTH
The day was finally coming to an end Luca was grateful everything was normal and nothing too disturbing like being bullied somehow Sam and his minions don't seem to get in his way anymore or anybody, that was such a relief and now here he was with Hope walking back home as they talked about different stories and joked around until Luca decided to ask something "hey have you had about dreams coming true?" Hope looked at him confused "did your dream come true?" Hope joked while chuckling but looking at Luca the other seemed to be serious asking his question "uh...I mean aren't dreams just dreams?" he asked too with a shrug but Luca was not satisfied with that, he can't also directly tell him what happened to him "I mean like what if it's too real and when you wake up it's all gone" Hope was confused for a moment "that happened?" Luca nodded "am confused I don't even know how to tell you" Luca admitted "let's do this, we are meeting at your place tomorrow right, let me do my research and come with answers tomorrow how does that sound?" Luca nodded in excitement "I would appreciate it, thanks" "then do keep track if your having any weird dream, bye" they finally said their goodbyes separating at the cross roads and now Luca was left to thinking about his dreams lately.
