A/N: So, I just watched the episode "Monster" Last night, and might I say the title of this story is how I feel right now. Some of this May be OOC, but it's my first time in a long time where I haven't written anything from my favorite anime.
So enjoy! Also, this might have skipped the Lux scenes, but I wanted this story to be like a "What should have happened"
Chapter 1: Can I stay with you?
Lucifer left the frozen and shocked thereapist at the office and walked out into the streets, where rain had poured its way down, instantly soaking him.
There he stood in the middle of the empty streets, alone, and lost.
There was no one to turn to now.
Linda would probably never want anything to do with him after what he had just revealed to her.
Amenadiel was Father knew where.
Maze was settling in with the detective.
The detective was probably hating his guts at the moment for his own outrage, even though he did see the true sympathy in her eyes.
And mum only brought back memories of why he killed his brother.
A loud crash of thunder sounded as Lucifer's anger struck, falling to his knees, tears mixed with the rain.
Why? Why did this have to happen to him?
His anger war was disturbed when a loud horn sounded right into his ear, making him stand, stumbling away from the noise.
A car immediately sped past him, and his glare followed after it.
After the car was out of sight, Lucifer stood, becoming uncomfortable with the soaked clothing.
Wrapping his arms around himself like he was truly cold, he continued his walk down the poorly lit sidewalk.
Chloe made it home just as the unexpected storm had started.
The pouring rain literally came out of nowhere.
Happy Halloween Chloe Decker. Chloe thought to herself.
She was pulled from that thought when she heard the tv on.
This was strange, it had to be almost past midnight.
An eerie sound was coming from the movie that was playing.
At first, Chloe almost panicked, Maze had decided to show her little girl a horror film.
Then, she noticed that the two forms on the couch had made no moves to notice she was home.
Chloe approached the couch, only to find Maze asleep, along with Trixie who was curled into her.
She couldn't help but smile. She may not agree with Maze's ways, but when it came to Trixie, she always meant well.
Grabbing a blanket, Chloe carefully laid the blanket over the two, watching the two sleep just a little longer.
Suddenly, a light knock sounded at the door.
Chloe looked at the door, making her jump.
Glancing at the two dreamers, who showed no signs of hearing it, she cautiously approached the door, because, who the hell would be knocking at her door at midnight?
Chloe slowly opened the door, peeking out, before opening the door wider, surprise decorated on her face.
"Lucifer...? What are you doing out here?" Chloe asked, her brain scattered with questions, her heart clenching at the look of him.
His messy hair was flattened by the rain falling off of it like tiny waterfalls, his face was pale, and his expressions were devasted, sad, cold. And his clothes were soaked clear through.
He looked up at her, shivering, a new expression in his dark eyes that Chloe had never seen before.
"C-can I stay with you?" He asked tremblingly.
The questions made Chloe stop thinking. Finding it hard to answer.
Lucifer was always a cocky and manipulative man, but what she saw right now, was an entirely different being.
"P-please." He added after many minutes of silence.
Chloe blinked out of her thoughts, before saying without any hesitation, "Come on in."
Lucifer nodded in gratitude, before stepping through the door and into the house.
He took a couple steps into the house and stood there while Chloe closed the door.
Chloe turned to him after locking the door again, having the chance to look him over again in the kitchen light.
"God Lucifer, what were you doing out there? Let me go get a towel." Chloe said before leaving the room.
She shortly returned with a towel, or two, carefully placing them around Lucifer's shaking form.
He welcomed the warmth, wrapping the towels around himself, using part of it to run through his dripping hair.
"Thank you." He muttered, almost sounding normal again.
Chloe stood there in the thick silence, not sure what to say next.
"Listen. I, um, I'm sorry, if I've ruined your case today. I..." Lucifer paused, his eyes finishing it.
Chloe sighed, "Lucifer. It's ok. You just... Worried me is all. I worry for you, are you ok?"
Lucifer stared at her, his true feelings and weaknesses locked shut, "Yes..."
He trailed off as if to say more.
Chloe waited, unntil she began to notice that on his, now dry, face, tears were flowing down his cheeks.
"Lucifer. Lucifer, what's wrong?" She asked, putting an arm around him.
"Nothing. It's nothing." He said, cursing his distraught body for betraying him.
"Lucifer." Chloe paused, remembering Maze and Trixie sleeping, and noticing her voice was raising.
"Come on, let's get out of here." She guided him directly to her bedroom, where they were on the opposite side of the house from the two dreamers.
When she closed the door, she turned to him, only to find him closer than she thought, and he all but collapsed in her arms.
"Lucifer! Ok... Hold on." Chloe gasped in surprise, trying to support his weight, guiding him over to the bed.
His arms were around her, his face hidden in her shoulder, and broken sobs were escaping him.
Chloe had never in her time with him, seen him this way, and it broke her heart to say the least.
They stay this way for a long time, Chloe just letting him cry into her shoulder.
'You don't understand. And you never will!'
'Understand what? I want to understad you Lucifer!' Chloe would want to shout at him.
Soon, Lucifer left her embrace, sitting up next to her, "I am sorry for barging into your home, detective. I just... I didn't know where else to go... I..."
"Lucifer. It's ok. I told you I was here for you. I am here for you. Know that." Chloe said, staring into his, all but broken, eyes.
"Yeah." Lucifer said breathlessly, staring back at her.
It was silent, no words spoken, no words of what got Lucifer in this way, but there didn't have to be words.
WIth their silent comforts, they found themselves laying in Chloe's bed, sleeping soundly, with Lucifer's head resting against her chest, while she embraced it, keeping him close to her.
This was wrong, on so many levels, but the way she saw him, broken and helpless, it sparked something in her.
Past the ignorance of the said Devil, he was someone she wanted to keep close to her, to protect him in his dark times.
'Shoot me! Come on I'm right here! Now you're just embarrassing yourself! Shoot me!'
That was the scariest moment Chloe had ever seen.
She stood many feet away from him, watching as Lucifer nearly begged the hidden sniper to kill him, and she couldn't see the sniper or have a chance at getting to Lucifer in time.
She had seen him near death once, another near death witness would probably kill her too.
Chloe was pulled from her horrific thoughts as she felt a form shift against her, and an arm wrapped around her middle.
At first, she tensed at the unexpected, unwelcome touch.
She relaxed, however, when she noticed it was just Lucifer.
He had moved even closer to her, his clothes nearly dry, with his arm draped around her.
His breath was light, with the mix of alcohol and another intoxicating scent that she couldn't identify.
Lucifer even began mumbling barely audible words in his sleep. "sorry" was most often heard in his tired voice.
"It's ok, Lucifer." Chloe answered, even if he couldn't hear, and uncontrollably leaned down and pressed her lips against the top of his black hair that selled of pine and fresh rain.
"I'm here for you." Chloe whispered against him assuringly before shutting her eyes to sleep.
