Walking in to her apartment with Lucifer behind her

"oh crap" Chloe mumbled to herself. Trixie was home with the babysitter and Chloe did NOT want her to be there.

"Trixie babe, Shelly I'm home. Chloe said calling out to them

"LUCIFER!" Trixie said charging towards Lucifer for a hug him after rounding the corner and seeing him.

"ahh, hello small child" Lucifer said trying to get Trixie to let go of him. Chloe almost started to laugh seeing Lucifer acting like his normal self after being so somber with whatever was going on with him and him thinking about what he was going to tell her.

" Here's some money and don't worry about being home till dinner" Chloe told Shelly

"is everything ok?" Trixie asked

"yes monkey, Lucifer and I need to have an adult talk."

"ok bye mommy, bye Lucifer" Trixie said while walking out the door with Shelly

" Do you have anything to drink? You're probably going to need something" Lucifer said not looking Chloe in the eye.

" Sure" Chloe whispered before going to get some wine out

After pouring some wine and sitting down in the living room With Chloe sitting on the couch and Lucifer sitting in one of the arm chairs making sure to give some space between them incase after telling her that she would be scared of him.

"i. . . I don't really know where to start" Lucifer said honestly

" how about the beginning" Chloe said trying to sound reassuring for Lucifer and for herself

" ok" Lucifer said a little shakily " But first I need to let me finish before you say anything. "

"ok" Chloe Said softly

"My family is different. In the beginning my parents fell in love and decided to have kids, but they were celestial beings meaning that their kids were angles. And at first we all got along but after a while dad started to mess around with something called humanity and since dad was neglecting his family but kept giving orders of what to do I got tired of it and as punishment dad decided to condemn me for eternity. But after a few thousand years dad kicked mum out and since she did nothing for me when I was cast out I did nothing for her. But six years ago I decided that I was done with Hell and decided to come here and do what I want to do and get out of my dad's hold and control on me. A few months ago I learned that my mom escaped from Hell. And the thing about celestial beings is that mum doesn't have a human form and so when she escaped Hell she had to inhabit a human form. I never told Charlotte about your dad or his case she found out on her own and I would never do anything that would hurt or harm you please believe me on that"

"i. . . don't know what to say."

"please believe me" Lucifer said looking at Chloe in a way of saying what he was saying was true and hoping that she would believe him without having him having to show her his true face.

" I . . . I don't know if I can, Lucifer you say you never lie, but you have this elaborate story of who you are this whole devil persona you have I don't know why you try to convince people that you're the devil, because you're not you are kind, caring, protective, and would do anything for the ones you care about. The devil is someone who does not care for others and you care. I don't know what happened to you when you were younger and these metaphors are you just covering the hurt and pain that you went through, but I need you to tell me the truth I need you to. I thought for once that you would." Chloe told Lucifer. She cared for him and wanted to understand him, but she needed to know the truth but the one time she thought he would open up he didn't, but somehow she knew that there was a truth behind what he told her, but angles, God, and the Devil? They weren't real they couldn't be.

Lucifer never felt more hurt or betrayed in his entire life even when he was cast into Hell by his father this was probably worse not having Chloe believe him. He wanted her to believe him without having to show her because once he did he could never take it back and it would almost kill him if she never wanted to see him again.

"Chloe, I . . . I always been honest with you and have never lied and I know you think I'm lying right now and its not a story everyone believes, but it's all true and I'm going to prove it , but I would never hurt you or Beatrice please remember that" Lucifer said with a pain in his voice that made chloe want to burst into tears.

" I know" Chloe said so quietly that Lucifer almost didn't hear her say it

After hearing Chloe say those words he hoped that she would still want him so without waiting any longer Lucifer finally showed Chloe his true face, but he could not look at her because if he did he did not want to see the fear and rejection in her eyes.

Seeing Lucifer's face did something to Chloe it wasn't fear, but sympathy because everything that he said was true and it was his side of the story. The bible tells what the world thought of him and how he was evil and was this horrible being. But that was not who he was he was punished and most of all hurt by his father because all he wanted to do was be himself and his father wanted him to be who he wanted him to be. So seeing his face his true face that looked like it was burned and had many scars showed Chloe how much pain and hurt he suffered all these years. Getting up and kneeling in front of him Chloe reached out to touch his face and wipe away the tears that were falling from his eyes.

Lucifer didn't realize that he was crying so when Chloe reached out and wiped his tears away he didn't know what to do no one ever tried to comfort him in any way like that it was something that he didn't mind because it was reassuring to him that someone cared for him.

"Lucifer" was all Chloe said before tears started to run down her face.

Leaning in towards each other their noses just touched and they both just stayed there neither one going that extra inch to close the space between their lips when suddenly Chloe's phone rang. Both of them jumped and Chloe went to get her phone and looking back at Lucifer she saw that his face was back to the face that she knew.

" Decker" Chloe answered her phone trying to sound like everything was normal.

" Chloe its Shelly, Trixie's gone"
