the parents
"My sweet apples!"
Your parents were a bit...eccentric.
More so your dad.
Lucifer wrapped his arms around your and held you close with a frown on his lips,"You didn't call us!" He exclaims dramatically while rocking you. Your mother hugs Charlie with a wide smile on her crimson lips and a soft playful eye roll at Lucifers behavior.
"Sorry, dad. Things have been hectic.",you apologize before your parents switched off and hugged the other sibling.
Soon enough all formalities are out of the way and you all find yourself sitting at the dining table, alone. Your mother looks between you and Charlie with a small frown.
"You both need to eat more you guys have no color in your faces.",she lightly scolds you while resting her chin on her gloved knuckles. You and Charlie laugh awkwardly and a tense silence falls.
You hadn't seen or heard from your parents the night the overdose occurred. To be quite frank none of you knew exactly how to deal with it. Especially your father. Already disappointed in Charlotte for her refusal to take over the family business he was in shock upon hearing of your overdose.
But at that moment he didn't care that you were doing drugs behind his back.
He felt terrible he hadn't noticed. As did Lilith but she was more...showing of that. She visited you in the hospital, albeit it was while you were in your coma but she went. Lucifer couldn't bare to face you.
Not when he saw a reflection of himself.
He felt just as bad as his father.
And he refused to face that.
So when he felt Liliths hand grasp his in a reassuring way beneath the table he opted to do what he did best and ignore the topic entirely. "So your mother and I will be in town for the weekend."
You refrained from showing any negative emotion once your father completely avoided the topic that should be of discussion. You felt your mothers eyes on you but you refused to meet her's. You would be lying if you said your fathers inability to express emotions didn't hurt you.
It did and very deeply. Especially when he used the shift in conversation to look to Charlie with a smile.
"You and Seviathan will join us for dinner tonight.",he said in a more so commanding tone than suggestive. Charlie knew better than to argue back, she nodded with a crimson lipped smile. "Sure! I don't think he has work tonight.",she responded in a bit of a happy manner.
Charlie was excited to see your parents as well. She may have felt pressure from them but not nearly as much as you felt.
"(Y/N) have you found yourself a husband yet?",your mother suddenly asks and you look up with blinking eyes. You clear your throat and are prepared to embarrassingly say "no" until the dining room doors open and your eyes meet a pair of almond brown ones.
Alastor looks around with a growing smile,"Well! If it isn't the lovely Magne's!" Lucifers eyes narrowed and he stood up quickly, you and your sister exchanged a look as you looked between the two grinning men.
The air just grew a whole lot more tense.
"Alastor. What are you doing here? In the same building as my two daughters. In fact just barging in.",Lucifer wears a tight lipped smile and his eyes are shut momentarily. Lilith stands up and grabs onto her husbands arm as a means of calming him down. Alastor tilts his head with a gentle grin.
"Well didn't the lovely Charlotte tell you? We're business partners.",Alastor states while pushing up his oval-rimmed shades.
You and Charlie are both confused as to how the two men know each other but before you can say a word your father turns to the two of you.
"Both of you leave us be.",he orders. For a moment you look to Alastor with confusion but once your father shoots you both a terrifying look you hurry off and leave the menacing adults in the room alone.
Lilith is the first to speak in an angered hushed tone,"Alastor I swear to that worthless God if you told Charlotte and (Y/N) that—" Alastor laughs loudly and shakes his head while approaching the lovely couple.
"Of course I didn't. I am already destined to spend an eternity in Hell, I wouldn't want my powers taken away now would I?",he asks rhetorically. Lucifers eyes are narrowed and his grin has fallen.
He removes his arm from Liliths and walks towards Alastor, the man just a few inches taller than him.
"Do you expect us to believe you are Charlotte's business partner by coincidence?",Lucifer seethes and his eyes begin to flicker to that red shade. Alastor nods with his shit-eating grin.
He sighs heavily and turns away from him,"Yes, because it was pure coincidence. I had no clue she was your daughter until after our business dealing. Sure I may have planned to take her soul but upon finding out she was your daughter I respected that. And I haven't done a single thing. Now this business dealing is more so being done out of boredom."
Lucifer looks to Lilith and Alastor chuckles darkly while looking down, his hands folded behind his back.
"With all due respect your majesty...your daughters have to be quite dim to not realize what they really are.",in a mere flash Lucifer has Alastor held up against a wall by his neck. His grey wings spread far and wide behind his back. Lilith gasps softly and hurries to the dining room door. She is alert.
Alastor struggles to breathe beneath Lucifers hand and only grins wider at the sight of his white and red horns peaking from his blonde locks. Lucifers exhales deeply and his hand tightens around the shadow mans throat.
"We've taken every measure to assure they don't find out until they live out their mortal lives. Do not ever speak ill of my children. Don't forget who gave you your abilities.",Alastor gasps and grasps at his throat when Lucifer releases him. He coughs and sputters.
Lucifer returns to his human form and folds his wings into his back. Alastor is itching to tell Lucifer what his sweet daughter did just yesterday. The deal that assured the king of hells daughter belonged to him once her mortal body died out. But he refrains. He cannot find out until you die or their entire agreement will be broken.
Lilith fixes Lucifers blonde locks and she turns to Alastor who fixes his composure. He raises a brow,"How are things down below?" Lilith humors him and fixes her husbands black tie, assuring he looks as cool and relaxed as he was before.
"There is going to be a new overlord in just a matter of days. A mortal, Valentino. Now if you'll excuse us.",Lilith gives a professional nod to Alastor before walking away and leaving the room with Lucifer.
Alastor looked to the door and shook his head. He could only wonder how they managed to hide you and Charlottes true beings for so long.
The king and queen of Hell had come to Earth when they were pregnant with their first daughter. If they wanted her to have an opportunity to go through Hell and Earth as she pleases she needed to live out a full mortal life.
This stood just as true for you.
So they raised you both here while discreetly visiting Hell to assure all things were running smoothly.
Alastor knew the truth of everything once he had signed away his soul to spend eternity suffering. Ever since he signed his soul away to Lucifer that fateful night. He only knew of you and Charlies existence when he became your sisters business partner.
Alastor grinned while looking down at his hand and stifled a maniacal laugh behind his hand.
And she'll make quite the leverage for me down below... He thought as your face flashed behind his eyelids. For a moment he felt something discomforting prod at him. He quickly shoved it away and fixed himself.
But no matter how he shoved it away...that discomfort still prodded at him.
When your parents came back out they seemed strange. More tense. But Lucifer kept his usual grin and allowed Lilith to hold onto his arm.
"Well we must get going my dears. But we will call for the information on the dinner tonight.",he states in a formal tone. Then your mother butts in with a soft smile on her lips.
"(Y/N) you will come too. Find a date, my sweet.",walking towards you two she plants a soft kiss against either of your foreheads and with that your parents leave the hotel.
Charlie looks to you with rapid blinks and sighs heavily,"I need to call Seviathan...",she breathes out in a drained manner. Pinching her brows you watch as she walks away and disappears down the hall. You bring up your fist and bite down on your knuckle.
You wondered how on earth you'd fine a date for tonight. You internally cursed and ran a hand through your hair while walking towards Husk at the bar.
He had heard the encounter and breathed out deeply while running a hand through his hair,"Your parents sure are something." You frown and nod while watching him pour a drink. You smile slightly when he hands it to you.
"They mean well...and thank you.",while taking the drink you stop just as the glass touches your lips. With narrowed eyes you look up at Husk. He looks back down at you and does not like the smile that spreads across your lips and the way you lean up close to him.
"Heyyyy....Husk. Care to do me a big favor?..."
