I’d die for you

Lucifer looked up at her at that. It wasn’t the first time someone had claimed that towards him, but he wondered (sometimes) how true those words were. He’d never doubted it when Michael had told him so all those years ago-- And now look what happened, he thought bitterly, feeling the biting sting of Hell itself only grow worse as the realm sensed his turmoil, his anger, his hurt and his rage. 

But Lilith was a different story. Lilith was someone he shouldn’t doubt, for she’d never lied to him. (Then again, neither had his brother until the moment Michael went against him.) Even now, though, Lucifer didn’t show his weaknesses in front of her. He wouldn’t let himself. He couldn’t. Sure, he might have seen her at times that weren’t kind to her, but there was something about the inherent need in him to appear as unbroken, unbowed, unbeaten that wouldn’t let the (fallen) archangel appear weak. Appear worn down and defeated-- No. 

“What makes you say that?” he responded, coming closer to the edge of the prison he was confined in, the prison that cut him off from even parts of Hell itself, despite the way the realm tormented him--this Cage tormented him. “What if I don’t want you dying for me, Lilith?” 

Because he’d lost enough, hadn’t he? His home, his family-- Lilith was the last of what he’d once had, and she was-- is-- everything. 

Everything that matters. 

He’d not lose her too. 

“Your devotion is noted, but it does me no good if your life is gone, Lilith. My friend, my--” Lucifer cut himself off, feeling Hell rage through him, pull on those emotions that twisted inside of him. Little did he know of the plan, the locks on his Cage that would culminate in her death as the final one--the only way his freedom would be gained in the end. Little did Lucifer know her death would be a necessary piece for the story to move forward in the end. “Dead loyalty serves me no purpose. I need--I want--you alive.” 

I always have.
