Lovebug - Lucifer Morningstar x afab!Reader

Author’s Note: Thank you to both of the anons that made this lovely request. I know nothing of pregnancy so I did some research, so if anything’s wrong sorry about that. This is my first time writing a pregnant reader as well. It is good to be back.

Request: Yes. Two Anons requested very similar scenarios so I combined the two here.

Summary: Reader is pregnant and was alone due to her ex-husband abandoning her when she was around 3 months gone. Lucifer asked what her desires were and is shocked when she said that she wants him to be her baby daddy

Wordcount: ~2.4k

Warnings: abandonment (from reader’s partner), brief mentions of divorce, the reader has she/her pronouns, reader’s afab, pregnancy

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

“C’mon lovebug you gotta be good for me today,” you whispered to your bump.

You were three months pregnant and three months free. Freedom wasn’t what you thought it would be like when you were a kid. Divorced and pregnant by your former husband you were scraping by as best you could, but you were happy. You still had your apartment and you knew you had your job at LUX.

Battling morning sickness and day-to-day nausea were now almost everyday occurrences for you, but after everything your husband had done to you in that marriage giving you the gift of a child forming in you made you feel brave. Brave to be free and continue on in life, you were just a little unsure of where to go with this freedom, but you have time to figure that out.

Deep breaths in, and there we go. You can do this now just out the door and have a nice day out, you pep talked yourself out the door.

You breathed in the fresh air and kept your head up as you walked on the sidewalk. You wanted to figure out your job situation first, so it was best you headed to LUX, hoping your boss Lucifer Morningstar was there and also hoping your lovebug would quit hopping around in your stomach for a couple of hours.

You managed to walk to LUX briskly and safely as it was only a couple of blocks away from you. As you entered the building it was only hitting five pm so you are hoping that it wouldn’t be overwhelming for you. As you surveyed the area you were relieved to find that the regular stench of alcohol wasn’t very potent and people were only just arriving at the club. You still had your employee badge to get inside the building quickly and spotted Maze working at the bar so you made swift work on getting over to her.

Maze was one of your favorite coworkers and she knew all about what was going on with your relationship and the divorce of your ex-husband as well as your pregnancy. She was the best friend you could hope for during that rough adjustment period. When Maze spotted you walking over to her as she was getting the bar prepped she beamed at you and jumped over the bar to hug you tightly.

“What the fuck are you doing here?” Maze exclaimed laughing at the end.

She was looking you up and down when she asked, “are you doing okay? How is the little parasite doing?”

You laughed at her nickname for the baby and said, “I’m alright, the little bug was calm enough today that I felt like I could come here today.”

“Yeah? How come? Do you need money? Because you know I don’t think boss would be that opposed to giving you paid maternity leave,” Maze stated.

“Yeah I do that’s why I was hoping to talk to him if he’s here,” you said.

“He’s here, he’s up in his penthouse, y’know how he is when it comes to him appearing at the night scene in LUX,” Maze replied leading you to the elevator in the back that takes you up to the apartment.

“Yeah Lucifer was always one for dramatic entrances in his own club,” you said as you both laugh at your boss’s dramatic nature.

You and Maze entered Lucifer’s penthouse and were at a loss for words about how it looked. It definitely looked like a playboy’s apartment and you were becoming more and more unsure of yourself as you stepped foot in the suite, but Maze either sensing your unease called out for Lucifer. He popped his head out of the bedroom and a smirk appeared on his face as he saw the two of you. Maze parted with a goodbye to him and a hug for you.

“What brings you here, (Y/N)?” Lucifer asked as he looked at you quizzically.

“I just wanted to talk about something that’s come up recently in my life, as you know I have been taking some days off for being sick and my divorce being finalized. I found out I was pregnant recently,” you stammered out. You felt quite nervous with each admission even if it was just the beginning of your confessions.

“Oh, congratulations if that’s what you want to hear, I presume,” Lucifer said with a more genuine smile appearing on his face than his signature smirk.

“Thank you, yeah I’ve thought of them as my little lovebug,” you replied.

“How cute?” He questioned with a tilt of his head as he looks at your barely there bump starting to form.

“Did you want to maternity leave while you take care of yourself and your kid? It will be paid of course,” Lucifer said gently.

“That would be amazing Lucifer,” you said.

His first name always felt heavy on your tongue when addressing him that even after two years of working at LUX. You hesitated with leaving right away now that you got that question answered and as if he could sense your hesitancy he takes a step towards you so you could look at him as he speaks.

“What is it you desire, darling?” he asked.

“For someone to help take care of me and my baby. I’m scared of doing this alone,” you admitted before you could stop yourself.

You felt horrified at your own confession and just stared at Lucifer for a second before taking a step back, but before you could go any further you felt Lucifer take your hand gently.

“Love? Could you look at me?” Lucifer asked gently and felt relieved when you did.

“Do you - do you want me to help you with your pregnancy?”

You opened your mouth but quickly closed and you nodded your head guilty at being found out.

“Hey, it’s okay, I’ll be honest I might be a bit more confused and shocked than you are when it comes to all this parenting stuff but I am willing to help you with whatever you need. You are frankly a wonderful employee here as well as an amazing friend and confidante with not just me but with Maze as well. I’d love nothing more to help you even if it’s just to be baby daddy love,” he finished with a wiggle of his eyebrows and signature smirk.

The end of his speech caused your eyes to wet and you gave a soft laugh as you wiped your eyes before tears spilled.

“Thank you Lucifer, that’s very kind of you, but you don’t have to do anything,” you said.

“Oh I want to darling, and besides I think everyone in LUX knows you’re my favorite employee anyway,” he said with a grin.

“What? You’re ridiculous,” you replied.

“That’s no way to talk to your soon-to-be baby daddy,” he playfully scolded you.

You waved him away as he moved closer to you.

“I’m happy to take care of you, you know? I just didn’t expect that’s what you want, love,” he said softly.

“I didn’t expect to confess to that either, I was scared, and am still scared of being alone throughout this pregnancy,” you confessed.

You looked up at Lucifer and noticed a soft look appear in his eyes, the lifted eyebrows and pouty lips gave him away. You almost let the thought sink in of him, sincerely caring for you, in more than just a platonic sort of way. The thought of Lucifer being romantic towards you, made you feel flustered and quickly shook your head and quickly blamed those thoughts on your hormones.

As you said your goodbyes, you were left feeling hopeful and happy about the outcome of your meeting with your boss. It feels like the start of an extremely cheesy romance novel. God, you really need to control these thoughts of yours, you shook your head again.

-----------------------------------------------

Months passed and throughout your pregnancy Lucifer had been a gentlemen throughout. One instance that you think back constantly was when Lucifer had taken you to one of your appointments. He was very gentle with you, leading you through doors and making sure you sit down because at this stage you were constantly sore and Lucifer must’ve figured that out. At the appointment the doctor had even complimented your relationship.

“Y’know, my partner wasn’t nearly as attentive as your husband is when I was pregnant. You must feel very lucky,” your doctor complimented.

You were thrown back at the compliment and this was the first time that it really hit you how much of a couple the two of you must’ve seen from an outside perspective. However, before you can even say something about it Lucifer beat you to it.

“I’m the lucky one, because she picked me to stay by her side throughout the whole thing. She truly is a lovely person and a wonderful partner,” Lucifer said almost too sweetly.

You almost considered it insincere but later at your house, you realized just how doting he could be to your and your baby by the small, quiet looks he gives you when you’re not looking. That scary singular thought occurred to you because of how your last partner just left you, but seeing how comfortable and loving Lucifer has become around you, you became hopeful at the prospect of Lucifer loving you back.

-----------------------------------

Those kind thoughts, the excitement of Lucifer seeing your little lovebug coming and the new nursery that Lucifer gifted you with got you through your pregnancy and through the actual deliver. For when it came and you went you were in love with your little lovebug bundled in your arms and Lucifer being with you throughout the whole birth which although stressed out and screaming during you were very grateful towards him afterwards. Although he just hushed you and kissed your forehead when you tried to speak them out.

He was always stroking a hand, arm, or leg to make sure that you were comfortable throughout your stay in the hospital and you thought you would just cry at the kind gestures which you think you did multiple times.

As you came back to your house for the first time since your delivery with your lovebug in your arms as you enter you felt a wave of relief as you got your baby to sleep. You slouched onto the couch as you turned the baby monitor on, you see Lucifer come over with a mug of ginger tea being handed to you. It smelled divine to you as you gave your thanks to him.

“Thank you so much for everything this whole year,” you said.

“Oh it was an absolute pleasure, love. I quite enjoyed spending time with you,” Lucifer replied.

You hummed back at him as you sat back in a comfortable silence sipping your tea. A feeling of familiarity and warmth came over as you sat next to him. You wanted to voice how you felt but it got caught in your throat everytime you went to speak so you decided against the idea and went back to sipping your tea.

Lucifer sensing something was off took the mug from your hands seeing you finished it and turned you towards him.

With a soft smile he asked, “Is there something you want to say, love? It looks like you are far away from me.”

“I don’t know, Lucifer,” you shrugged hoping that he’ll let it go, but he stays persistent.

“Oh come on now, don’t make me use my interrogation trick on you,” he whispers with a smirk on his face.

“I-I’m just scared, I guess” you half-lied.

“Scared?”

“Yeah, I guess I became comfortable with you always around and how safe you’ve made me feel throughout the whole pregancy and now that my little lovebug is here. I’m just scared on how I will be on my own now. If I’m gonna be a good enough parent, things like that,” you confessed now twisting your fingers on your lap not looking at him anymore.

There was a couple of seconds with just silence as you heard Lucifer move but didn’t want to look up as you stared at your lap. Than you saw him in your peripheral get closer and felt two hands gently frame your face urging to look up, so you did. You saw Lucifer’s face with such a look of love and adoration you practically melted in his hands, it was also patient as he gives you a bright smile

“Now what on Earth made you think you would be on your own now? I’m not just gonna disappear now that the little bug has shown up. If you want me next to you for a while more, I’d like that. I don’t know if you know darling but I’m quite fond of you and the little parasite.”

“You are?”

“Oh darling, I hope this doesn’t come to haunt but stop me if I misread this,” he said as he moves even closer than before and leaning down.

Your breath hitched and eyes fluttered shut as you felt him crowd around you and he pressed his lips softly on yours. So softly that you thought it wasn’t happening at all until he nipped your lip and pulled a gasp from you. You finally moved your hands from your lap and grabbed his shirt to pull him as close as two bodies can get. He gently caressed your head as his other hand landed on your waist. The kiss was becoming multiple as he laid you down carefully on the couch as he continued to kiss you.

You finally had to pry away for a breath as you looked up at him, as he framed you, you gently caressed his face and watched as he gave you another bright smile and kissed your wrist. The smile turning into a smirk as he felt your pulse stutter at the contact.

“In case it wasn’t clear,” he whispers leaning down so your foreheads are touching, “I love you sincerely and wholly. I want to be in your and your baby’s lives more permanently than some caretaker if you let me.”

“Oh Lucifer, I love you too, I would love for you to be a part of me and my lovebug’s life,” you said leaning up to seal the confession with a loving kiss.

AW THANK YOU, GLAD TO BE BACK

Update on Where I’ve Been

Hi everyone, so I’m not dead I’ve just been severely burnt out on writing anything. As well as some stuff that has been going on personally all of last year. One thing I can share is that I have now graduated college but am working on looking for work and graduate school, so that is a whole thing.

However I am happy to announce that I am working on requests for god knows how long. Thank you to everyone who has sent requests and is so patient with me on that.

I am currently working on a Lucifer request, and I feel like I’m about half way with it so im hoping to get that out to you guys this weekend. I also have a new Eddie Munson one shot that’s been a wip for ages so I’m hoping to finally get that finished as well.

Also thank you to 200 followers!! That sneaked up on me out of nowhere, thank you so much!

Thank you again for all your patience and love on my writings.

You’re Not a Burden - Lucifer x GN!Reader

You’re Not a Burden - Lucifer Morningstar x GN!Reader

Author’s Note: This was requested by the lovely @coffinheartz about a reader who is chronically ill, I hope I did it justice and that you like it. I tried not to go too specific on the illness.

Warnings: Reader in pain due to their illness, angst???, then fluff, anxiety mentioned and described, stuttering (I wrote how I would stutter when my anxiety gets bad as a ref point)

Word Count: 1.0k

————————————

You didn’t want to admit the pain you were in, because if you did you felt like you were quitting. On what? You weren’t really sure, but you’ve always tried to mask the amount of pain you were in due to your chronic illness, even though your partner Lucifer says not to. It was a part of your nature at this point, but now as you can barely get off your sofa you are starting to really hate that part of your self.

As you laid there groaning wondering how you were going to muster up the strength to even get dressed let alone go to work, your mind flickers to Lucifer and wondering if you should call him to let him know you weren’t going to work. You love your partner, but he can be a bit overbearing when it comes to your health and you weren’t sure if you were able to withstand that.

Aw that is very sweet of you to say, thank you 💞

The Flirting Dork~Eddie Munson x fem!reader

Author’s Note: Yes I’m a clown who’s in love with the metalhead with a golden heart. I can’t help it, I’m soft. Anyway, I hope this isn’t too OOC but if it is I blame it on my NoUpsideDown!AU, that resides in my head, is that even a thing? A normal AU?

I thought it would be pretty fun if there was a 70’s Show style AU with the Hawkins gang, with a Steve/Jackie thing going on for Eddie and Y/N.

Warnings: None, pure fluff

Summary: You’ve been dating Eddie for a while now, almost three months and you realized how much of a giant dork he was when you got together.

Word Count: 1.5k

————————————–

You never really fit in anywhere at school, but you wanted to. Wanted to find some sense of belonging in high school, but you eventually moved on from that fleeting feeling when you decided to just be content with staying in the background of the drama of high school.

You noticed that some people loved to be the center of people’s attention whether deserved or not. Eddie Munson was one of them, he seemed to thrive in dramatic speeches and theatrical movements. You always looked forward to looking at him from the cafeteria tables, watching him give a dramatic lament about the tragedy of today’s youths.

Unsure and shy, you were content on watching from afar and laughing to yourself when he does give in to the dramatics to his friends and surrounding people around him. What you didn’t know was that Eddie noticed you too. How could he not? He thinks you’re cute as hell.

Eddie noticed you looking at him a couple of times at the cafeteria and in your shared classes. At first he thought it was just in his head that you were looking at him, multiple times, but also because you are so cute and hot?? His brain couldn’t come up with a scenario where you would be staring at him like you are, like he’s not a freak. How did he not see you sooner?

One day he noticed you staring at his table again during lunch and this time he finally caught your eyes, which caused you to get flustered and look down at a book you were reading. Eddie grinned, this was his time to make his move, to see if you really do like him. He gets up and his friends all look at him expectantly, maybe for another dramatic speech.

He winks at them and says, “Fear not children, I will be right back. I am on a quest.”

Keep reading

Ozymandias - Lucifer Morningstar x GN!Reader

Author’s Note: This was requested by the lovely @coffinheartz again about a reader who is chronically ill but this time angst to the max with soe miscommunication. I tried not to go too specific on the illness and I hope I did it justice.

Requests are open currently writing for Joseph Quinn characters, Lucifer Morningstar, and Pedro Pascal characters in case any one was confused about that.

Title and poem below is written by Percy Bysshe Shelley, it’s a fantastic sonnet.

Warnings: Reader in pain due to their illness, reader faints, hospitals, angst much more then my typical writing, pretentious writing (it feels like), miscommunication, ambiguous ending

Word Count: 933 (a shorty)

------------------------------------

“I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear:...”

In pain and despondent you didn’t know how to act, you felt small beneath the earth already as your lungs breathed in flames. It hurt, of course it did, this pain was a part of you a long with this disease that has riddled you for so long, but you had triumphed over that pain before so why did it feel like it a losing battle now?

You were somewhere public when the first wave of a crimson-like pain hitting you and you immediately wanted to curl up within yourself but you still felt like you had to be polite about your pain. Tight-lipped and apologetic as flames lapped up your insides, fighting desperately to burn you to ash.

When you collapsed it was sudden and quick to the onlooker but to you seemed to drag on for hours as those flames seemed to stretch out to a burning desert now, and sand and flames were all you felt and see. You sink to the floor like a collapsing idol getting swallowed by the earth.

How fitting for the partner of the Devil to feel this type of pain that seemed to filled with such hated heat. However how could there be such hatred for you when you heard panic screams and assured tones around you, surrounding you, to put some relief on that burning pain in your lungs.

You sighed, even alone, you did feel a comfort that these strangers who didn’t know you, cared. That was enough, even as you were sunk into the abyss.

-------------------------------------

Lucifer should’ve known better then to have put his phone on complete silence when he entered to work, but Chloe was adamant that there was no distractions that would let this case go interrupted. She was a being a complete hardass more so lately, and it was possible because she was losing more of Lucifer’s time as he gotten into a serious relationship with you.

Thinking of you he went to reach his phone to see if there were any notifications but was immediately scolded for it. He was frustrated because there was a feeling, a terrible nagging feeling that something was wrong. A burning ache in his heart but he had to focus on the case as Chloe was dragging him to.

However that ache turned into an inferno when Maze walked up to them with a determined yet scared expression. Chloe tried to get her to leave but Maze flipped her off and went straight to Lucifer.

“(Y/N) is in the hospital, why haven’t you picked up the phone?” Maze almost screamed at him, panic clear on her face no matter how much she wants to hide it.

“Fucking bloody hell! Take me to the hospital now! The detective had me shut my phone down,” Lucifer exclaimed and he looked he was ready to burst at the seams in anger.

He wanted to collapse, just sink onto his knees but he can’t he failed by not being able to pick up the phone, he won’t fail by not going to the hospital. However, Chloe again persisted on him staying but he almost turned into the Devil in front of her to get her to move, which showed her how serious he was being.

“I should’ve never taken this case, solve it on your own, your competent enough,” he turned to Maze, “Take me to them now, please,” his voice strained at the last word.

Then he arrived into the hospital and he felt cold, much colder then he was used to, always having a warm body temperature, but this feeling was sickeningly cold that seemed to ache on his sculpted shoulders. Everyone around him knew of his pride, and he relished in it but not now not in this instance, not when his pride stopped him from picking up his phone.

When he saw you strapped to various IVs and machines monitoring your vitals, he felt like a fool. A broken wreck of the prideful man you first knew him as. It would shake the Hellscape to its core of they saw their leader like this, small and shaking and at the feet of a bed ridden human.

He wants you to yell at him for ignoring you, chew him out for not being there for you, but yet you laid there silent, still as a statue. Lucifer wanted to shake and crumble onto his knees, but yet there he sat on a hospital chair, grasping your hand like he could somehow will you awake. Where is the merciful Creator when you need him for a miracle? Silence again. Lucifer couldn’t find any joy in that.

There you both lay bathed in bright lights that made your scene feel more formidable, more noticed, yet not for how common this sight is. Two lovers torn by pain and pride, and now one lover waits for the other to wake up.

“My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

- Percy Bysshe Shelley

Strawberry Moon ~ Ralph (Timewasters) x fem!Reader

Author’s Note: This is a quick little thing for Ralph because I adore him and love jazz music, so this idea popped into my head. If you like swing music, I was listening to Strawberry Moon by Dennis van Aarssen, a fantastic singer.

Side note for context of the story: Strawberry moons are a real thing, it’s the appearance the full moon takes on in June, the moon takes the color of a ripe strawberry to almost pink. I feel like I have a schoolgirl crush on this guy named Ralph, like good lord.

(I also want to hide this idea in the author’s note so no one holds me accountable, but I have been working on a bridgerton/pride and prejudice type fic with Ralph as the prince in the story and you are an adopted bridgerton daughter. Would anyone be interested???)

Song referenced in the story and title: https://open.spotify.com/track/45ICzdX3r4uEScJiRcf3YY?si=2122b5a2290f4248

Summary: You aren’t much of a party, so when you stepped out of the club for some much-needed air, you didn’t expect anyone to follow you.

Warnings: just tooth-rotting fluff

✯¸.•´*¨`*•✿ ✿•*`¨*`•.¸✯

You love the music, and the drinks that you have, but the people can be a bit too much in a jazz club. However, you love a good love song no matter how cliche that comes across. You were pulled into a party where you didn’t really know the hosts but your friend, who insisted you come with them.

While you were there, you learned the hosts were Victoria and Ralph, more so Victoria as you watched her chatter with various people. Ralph seemed more reserved than his twin, as you also learned from your friend, as you did your people-watching while listening to the jazz band, you started to notice that Ralph constantly got your attention. He seemed cute and you doubt he was as obnoxious as Victoria is with how throughout the hour you’ve been here every minute seemed to be filled with her shrill voice in the background.

You turned away from your side of the bar that you found yourself grounded to and looked to see if there was a table you could sit at. The only semi-empty one was a table that was situated towards a wall and a man was sitting alone at it. He had these big puppy dog brown eyes and looked to be humming to the song that the jazz band was playing.

You walked over to him and politely introduced yourself to him so as to not startle him. He ends up jumping up anyway and once he saw it was you that got his attention his face almost immediately lit up.

“Oh hello! I’m sorry what did you say?” Ralph asked.

“Sorry, I was just wondering if I could sit here? You don’t have to get up or anything I just didn’t want to sit at the bar anymore,” you explained.

“Oh, of course, I was just sitting here to take a rest from the dancing,” he said brightly gesturing to a seat next to him.

You thanked him gratefully as you sat down your dress flowing under you as you do, and your heels giving a little clack as it hits the chair.

“So what’s your name?” Ralph asked you.

“Oh um, my name is (Y/N). My friend dragged me here to this party,” you stated.

He repeated your name cautiously and then he straightened himself as he smiled at you and said, “What a wonderful name! This is my sister and I’s party, well mostly my sister Victoria’s party than mine.”

“You’re Ralph then?” you asked.

“Yes! Yes, I am,” Ralph exclaimed.

You giggled at his excitement and he just smiled sweetly at you.

“You know you seem very sweet, Ralph. If you ever recover from all that dancing earlier I would be honored if you saved a dance for me,” you said with a shy smile.

“Oh you want to dance with me?” he asked incredulously.

“Yeah of course that’s why I asked.”

“Oh! Oh then we can dance now, I’ve been sitting for quite a while now, I think I’ve saved enough energy to dance with you,” he said excitedly almost jumping from his seat.

He offered his arm for you to take as you got up, you gave him a bright smile in return which he returned. He spun you onto the dance floor as the jazz band transitioned into a swing song. You laughed as he began to these silly moves all around you. You offered your hand to him as you begin to lead him into an energetic dance as the band was in full swing. Both of you were grinning ear to ear throughout the whole time you were dancing.

When the song did end you were both completely breathless at the energy you both put into that one dance that you began to giggle to yourselves as you thanked him for the lovely dance.

“You are most welcome. That was a splendid dance, I would love to have another dance with you before the night ends,” he told you and you accepted eagerly.

There was something about this well-dressed and polite man that’s got you crushing hard on him already. As you started to realize this you felt yourself get hotter and more flustered at how you were falling for this man that was standing just a couple of inches away from you.

“I’m gonna go outside for a little bit, I’m all hot from the dancing,” you told him.

“Oh let me escort you out then,” he said.

“I don’t think that’s necessary,” you began.

“I insist,” he said with a determined look.

“Alright, let’s go then,” you conceded.

✯¸.•´*¨`*•✿ ✿•*`¨*`•.¸✯

You made out to the back of the club and onto the railing looking over a river. You sat on a bench nearby and took a deep breath of the fresh air of the night, leaning onto your hands. Ralph repeats your movements but gets startled as he looked up at the sky, and you look to see where he was looking and saw the moon was a pinkish hue.

“What happened to the moon?” Ralph asked almost in awe.

“I heard it’s called a strawberry moon,” you tell him.

“Really?” he questioned.

As you turned to look at him you notice just how breathtaking he looked, especially in the moonlight, and caught yourself staring at his lips for a brief second. You felt yourself getting hot like in the club and turned yourself back to look at the moon as you nodded at his answer.

Then you leaned a little closer to him bumping shoulders with him conspiratorially as you said, “I heard that a strawberry moon helps to prosper young love.”

“That’s amazing,” he said softly almost shyly.

“Yeah,” you said and you saw him look at your lips but you thought it was a trick of the light at first.

“Can I try something?” he asked and you saw him looking flustered.

“Yeah,” you said.

He then softly placed both of his hands on either side of your face and he looked at you with such a tooth-achingly sweet look that you just melted in his hands. Ralph leaned in and gave you an oh-so-soft kiss on your lips and you leaned into the kiss almost as soon as he went to give you the kiss. It was just a soft peck of the lips but you knew you were hooked on Ralph, because as soon as he was pulling away.

You put a hand on Ralph’s neck as you echoed his words, “Can I try something?”

When Ralph eagerly nodded you dove into capturing his lips in a more impassioned kiss and he almost immediately started kissing you back. You both started to move closer together to further the kiss, and you felt like your heart was on fire by how gentle Ralph was being even with him passionately kissing you. You both had to pull away as you were getting breathless and as you looked up at him, you felt pulled under by his lovesick eyes.

“I think you might be my strawberry moon,” he whispered to you.

It took you a moment for your brain to click on what he meant when you realized what you told him earlier when you first echoed in your mind.

Young love. A strawberry moon symbolized young love.

You wished Ralph still didn’t have his hands on you even though it felt ridiculously nice, because you know he could feel you getting flustered under his hands.

“Too much?” he whispered.

“No not at all, Ralph,” you whispered back.

How fitting to kiss under a strawberry moon when this wonderful feeling feels just as sweet as a real strawberry. How fitting, how beautiful.

Young love it may be, and you were thankful for your friend to drag you to a party just this once, so you could meet a man as sweet as Ralph. You couldn’t think much more as Ralph was dragging you further into a deep heart-burning kiss.

You’re Not a Burden - Lucifer x GN!Reader

You’re Not a Burden - Lucifer Morningstar x GN!Reader

Author’s Note: This was requested by the lovely @coffinheartz about a reader who is chronically ill, I hope I did it justice and that you like it. I tried not to go too specific on the illness.

Warnings: Reader in pain due to their illness, angst???, then fluff, anxiety mentioned and described, stuttering (I wrote how I would stutter when my anxiety gets bad as a ref point)

Word Count: 1.0k

------------------------------------

Living with your illness took some getting used to, having to discover a different routine with yourself and work, understanding and processing your emotions through it, but one thing that always hurts were people thinking you are a burden.

You met Lucifer Morningstar as you were going through your cycle of renewed self-discovery, he was a breath of fresh air for you, when all you were surrounded with were people giving you sympathetic smiles.

While he was just being himself around you, making you laugh, taking you to LUX, driving around in his car, he helped you to realize that the pain and the disease you had wasn’t all you were. You liked to have fun, watch really bad movies, going on long drives, and reading a good book while it rains.

Lucifer helped you feel like a whole person without him trying, and it hurts you to hold back on the pain you felt some days so he wouldn’t worry all the time. The habit you developed of downplaying your symptoms was a terrible one, one you want to break but are afraid to.

Anxiety’s something you’ve been battling for awhile now and it haunts your thoughts when it comes to your illness, constantly weighing you down further and always whispering in your ear that you are a burden to your friends and partners. Which is inherently false, you know in your core you aren’t a burden, you’ve been improving yourself, going through therapy sessions that Lucifer recommended you to go to.

“I am not a burden,” you whisper to yourself as you slowly pull yourself to sit up.

“I am not a burden,” you repeat as you go to reach for the phone.

You take a slow deep breath as you hold your phone before dialing Lucifer’s number. You exhale as you hear it ring and you repeat the mantra in your head as you wait for Lucifer to pick up.

“Hey darling, how are you?” Lucifer’s voice rang through your head, and you winced at the noise.

“H-hi Luce, uh remem-remember that talk we had a week ago?” you asked referencing the talk you and him had on you being more open when you are feeling in pain and wincing again at hearing the stutter in your voice.

“Yeah of course,” Lucifer responded patiently.

“Um yeah, I think today is a bad one,” you said taking a deep breath at the end willing yourself to remember to breathe.

“Do you want me to come over, love?” you heard him ask.

“If you can, if not don’t worry, I don’t want to be a burden,” you hastily said.

“I wouldn’t have offered if I couldn’t come, and you’re never a burden to me, love,” Lucifer said.

“Okay then, thank you,” you said softly.

“Of course, I’ll be there in a couple of minutes,” and with a click Lucifer disconnected.

You let out a sigh of relief and sunk further into your sofa then before, and feeling proud of yourself for reaching out to your partner this time then just wallowing in pain.

You didn’t know how much time or even when you closed your eyes but you were startled awake by knocking on your apartment door. Grabbing the blanket on the back of the sofa and putting it around your shoulders as you walk to the door.

When you open the door you see your boyfriend Lucifer looking at you with a soft expression on his face and he bent down to leave a loving kiss on your forehead in way of greeting.

“Hi Luce,” you said with a weak smile.

“Hello my darling, is there anything you need me to do now that I’m here?” Lucifer asked as he stepped inside.

“Could you get my pain medication? I haven’t taken them in a while and I couldn’t move off the couch until now,” you responded.

“Of course I can, can you move to your bedroom while I do that?” Lucifer said while guiding you further into the apartment.

“Yeah I think I can manage that,” you said.

As you both walk to where you needed to go, you felt your anxiety slowly go down. It’s a weird feeling to be cared for this much, but it’s a good feeling. As Lucifer came back with a glass of water and your pain medication, you felt loved.

“Thanks Lu,” you mumbled as you took the pills from him.

As you took a sip from the water and took the pills, you saw the soft look from earlier return. “What?”

“Oh nothing, I’m just happy that you called,” he stated.

“Oh,” was you all you could say.

Lucifer sat on the corner of the bed as he said, “Is there anything else I can do?”

“Just cuddles is all I need, unless you have-” you were cut off with a soft kiss on the corner of your lips.

“You are not a burden my love, know that,” he said with such a sincerity that you almost forgot where you were, “And of course I can cuddle. What kind of a boyfriend would I be if I didn’t?”

“Thank you,” you said.

In the loving arms of your partner, and with your pain slowly ebbing away, you were at peace and loved.

Writing Update

Hi y’all, so I am a bit slow when it comes to writing but I have two one-shots that I’m working on that is related to Joseph Quinn.

Here is a snippet from the Eddie Munson x reader

Dustin and you are almost complete opposites even though you’re siblings. You love rock and metal, he loves disco, you tend to be more introverted, and he’s more extroverted, but your love for movies and fantasy was what got you guys to bond. You introduced him and his friends to Dungeons and Dragons, Star Wars, and even Star Trek, and they took to it and loved it.

When Dustin entered high school, he found his way into the local D&D club, Hellfire. You always wanted to join the club but were always too shy to try to talk to Eddie Munson, the leader of the club. He was loud and exuberant, always having a monologue prepared for the week. The club was only ever comprised of guys as well and didn’t want to make things awkward for whatever dynamic is going on there. However, Dustin didn’t notice or just didn’t care.

You and Dustin shared a lunch period and would always wave hi to him, to let him know you weren’t ignoring him. You did it this time as well when you spotted him but this time he waved you down to come to the table.

----------

Dustin knew his sister was smart, like serious smart but (Y/N) was never outspoken and her grades got deducted for lack of participation, something he knew because of her complaining. He’s hoping though that she could help his team’s dilemma for Eddie’s game at the end of the week.

___________________________________________________________

The other work is Ralph from Timewasters because I am a sucker for dorky characters and Joseph Quinn was adorable as Ralph.

Here is a short snippet from that wip:

“You love the music, and the drinks that you have, but the people can be a bit too much in a jazz club. However, you love a good love song no matter how cliche that comes across. You were pulled into a party where you didn’t really know the hosts but your friend, who insisted you come with them.

While you were there though you learned the hosts were Victoria and Ralph, more so Victoria though as you watched her chatter to various people. Ralph seemed more reserved than his twin, as you also learned from your friend, as you did your people-watching while listening to the jazz band, you started to notice that Ralph constantly got your attention.

He seemed cute and you doubt he was as obnoxious as Victoria is with how throughout the hour you’ve been here every minute seemed to be filled with her shrill voice in the background.

You turned away from your side of the bar that you found yourself grounded to and looked to see if there was a table you can sit at.“

____________________________________________________________

Thank you all for your patience and I hope you like what I have next but I’m honestly not sure if people want a Ralph x reader?? idk but also I don’t know when I’m going to finish either of these but hopefully one of these will be done by the end of the week :)
