The Bodyguard’s Secret Revealed

The days passed in a gentle rhythm, with Lucifer remaining steadfast by Luna’s side. His role as her bodyguard hadn’t changed, even after the emotional reunion with her parents. He continued to shadow her in his ever-watchful manner, always ready to provide assistance, but there was something more to their bond now. He wasn’t just her bodyguard anymore—he was her friend, her confidant.

Luna had started her treatment with a renewed sense of purpose. Each day, she pushed herself a little harder, taking steps—literally and metaphorically—toward the future she had almost given up on. With her parents back in her life, and Lucifer constantly by her side, she felt a sense of hope that she hadn’t experienced in years.

It was one afternoon, while the two of them sat together in the living room, that the truth came to light. Lucifer, feeling unusually nostalgic, began talking about his childhood. He had never shared much about his past, preferring to keep things lighthearted and carefree. But today was different. With Luna so deeply invested in her own recovery, he found himself wanting to open up to her, to allow her to see another side of him.

"You know," Lucifer began, a playful smile on his face, "I was quite the troublemaker as a kid. Always running around with my brothers, getting into all sorts of trouble. We used to prank our parents all the time."

Luna chuckled, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "I can't imagine you being any trouble at all."

Lucifer grinned. "Oh, I assure you, I was. I once convinced my brothers that the house was haunted... for weeks! It was one of my best pranks, really. You should have seen their faces."

Luna raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "How did they take it?"

Lucifer laughed, shaking his head. "They were terrified, until they found out it was me pulling the strings. That was the last time they ever let me plan the pranks."

His hand reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone, scrolling through his pictures. "Here, this one’s a classic. It’s from one of our old family vacations. That’s Alex and Alen," he said, showing Luna a picture of two young boys standing beside him. They were smiling broadly, their faces full of mischief.

Luna glanced at the photo, her eyes widening slightly. She knew those faces—she had seen them before. The resemblance to Lucifer was striking, but it wasn’t just that. There was something about their expressions that tugged at her memory. She had seen them somewhere, but she couldn’t quite place where.

She didn’t say anything, her gaze lingering on the picture for a moment longer than necessary. Her mind raced, piecing together the puzzle in her head, but she said nothing. She kept her composure, choosing to remain silent, even though the realization hit her like a wave.

Lucifer, completely unaware of her inner turmoil, continued with his usual cheerful tone. "We used to get into so many ridiculous situations. Sometimes, I think I’ve been running from my past my whole life. But then I remember the good times with them, and it all feels worth it."

Luna’s heart was conflicted. She had recognized the brothers—Alex and Alen—from the photos. They were his family. But the realization also brought with it another wave of confusion. Lucifer had never once mentioned them as his brothers. He had kept his identity hidden, and now, Luna couldn’t help but wonder why.

For a moment, she said nothing, silently processing the newfound knowledge. Her silence wasn’t out of suspicion, but rather, a reluctant understanding. She knew Lucifer was hiding something—something big. But for reasons she couldn’t explain, she wasn’t ready to confront him about it.

Instead, she focused on his words, on the warmth of his presence. The bond they shared was still new, fragile even. She wasn’t sure if she was ready to uncover the full truth of his past just yet. But one thing was clear: Lucifer wasn’t just her bodyguard anymore. He had become so much more to her.

Lucifer continued to talk about his childhood, cracking jokes and recounting the countless pranks he had played on his family. Luna listened quietly, a smile tugging at her lips, though her mind wandered. The truth about his identity had been revealed, but she wasn’t ready to confront him with it. Not yet.

She sat there, lost in thought, knowing that the days ahead would bring even more revelations. But for now, she simply enjoyed the comfort of his company. The bond between them had shifted, and there was something comforting in knowing that, no matter who he truly was, Lucifer had always been there for her when it mattered most.
