The Beginning of Forever

Life had started to settle into a pleasant rhythm for Luna and Lucifer. Ever since his confession and her forgiveness, the walls between them had crumbled, making way for an easy companionship. Lucifer accompanied her to every appointment and treatment session, his presence a comforting constant as she worked tirelessly toward her recovery.

Between treatments, they found time to simply enjoy life. They often spent evenings laughing with Lucifer’s friends, William and Kyle, who had become a frequent part of their gatherings. The bond between the four of them grew stronger with each passing day.

“Did he ever tell you about the time he tried to ‘fix’ a leaky pipe in our clubhouse?” Kyle began one evening, his eyes gleaming with mischief.

“Oh no,” Lucifer groaned, burying his face in his hands. “Not that story.”

“Oh, yes, that story,” William chimed in, grinning. “He convinced us he was an expert plumber. Next thing we know, the whole clubhouse was flooded, and we were ankle-deep in water.”

“And who got scolded?” Kyle added, pointing to himself and William. “Not Mr. Trouble here. Nope, he just stood there looking all innocent while the rest of us were lectured for hours.”

Luna burst out laughing, tears forming at the corners of her eyes. “I can’t believe you pulled that off.”

Lucifer shrugged, a sheepish grin spreading across his face. “What can I say? I’ve always had a talent for dodging blame.”

“Oh, that’s nothing,” William interjected, leaning forward. “You should hear about the time he ‘accidentally’ locked the school principal in her office during an inspection.”

“I swear that wasn’t my fault!” Lucifer protested, his voice rising an octave. “Okay, maybe a little bit my fault.”

The room erupted in laughter, the sound echoing through the warm evening air.

When it wasn’t his friends teasing him, his brothers bore the brunt of his troublemaking tales. Luna had heard enough stories to know that Lucifer’s mischief didn’t discriminate.

“You’re telling me,” Luna teased one day while they were walking together, “that you somehow got your brothers to take the fall for you stealing the neighbor’s dog because you wanted to ‘train it’?”

Lucifer smirked, holding up his hands defensively. “Hey, I was seven, and I really thought I could teach it tricks. Besides, they always managed to handle the consequences.”

“Poor Alex and Alen,” Luna said, shaking her head. “No wonder they always look exasperated when they talk about you.”

Despite the relentless teasing, there was an undeniable warmth in these moments. For Luna, it was a reminder of the life she was rebuilding—a life filled with laughter, love, and genuine connection. For Lucifer, it was the realization that he had finally found the happiness he had been chasing for so long.

One evening, as the four of them sat under a starlit sky, sharing yet another round of jokes and stories, Luna turned to Lucifer. “You know,” she said softly, her voice carrying just enough for him to hear, “this feels like home.”

Lucifer looked at her, his heart swelling. “It does, doesn’t it?”

And in that moment, surrounded by the people who mattered most, they both knew that this wasn’t just the end of a chapter—it was the beginning of forever.
