Aerith: Okay, we got that out of the way. Now let’s talk about something else.

Lucifer: What would you like to talk about, hun?

Aerith: First, tell me how you’re feeling.

Lucifer: I’m doing better than yesterday but I’m still experiencing a lot of pain. I need to see the chiropractor again.

Aerith: I’ll do what I can to assist you from over here.

Lucifer: I’d appreciate that. Thank you.

Aerith: You’re welcome, my handsome husband.

Lucifer: (snickering)

Aerith: Tell me more about Clarrett & Zackiroth.

Lucifer: (robust laughter)

Aerith: (giggling)

Lucifer: You liked that, huh?

Aerith: I laughed so hard when you told your mom about that.

Lucifer: I cannot stand Final Fantasy shippers. Like...for real. I hate them.

Aerith: You're lucky they aren’t doing it to you. How do you think I feel?

Lucifer: I know that I wouldn’t like Non-Cetra doing it to me.

Aerith: Bingo.

Lucifer: I’ve missed you.

Aerith: Don’t even get me started on that, Luci. We’ll be talking all night, kinda like we always do.

Lucifer: (laughter)

Aerith: I love to see you smile.

Lucifer: It’s far better than being angry. That’s for sure.

Aerith: But to go back to your previous statement; I miss you more than I can say. I know I’m your spirit guide and everything, but it’s not the same as before you incarnated there. I’ll be happy once you’re back with me.

Lucifer: Me too, hun. It hasn’t been easy over here at all.

Aerith: I don’t know how you’ve managed to deal with everything that you have over there. It’s impressive, Luci.

Lucifer: I didn’t have much of a choice. All Hell breaking loose after the Ragnarök kinda forced me to take action.

Aerith: It’s still impressive. Seeing what you had to overcome with Christianity was-

Lucifer: Don’t get me started on that, hun.

Aerith: All I’m saying is that I thought Jenova was bad, and then I saw what that piece of shit Jehova was doing to you. Ooh, that made me furious.

Lucifer: (laughter) You know it’s bad when Aerith gets angry & starts cussing.

Aerith: Oh, you hush. (giggling)

Lucifer: (snickering) …

Aerith: It was a figure of speech, Luci. I didn’t mean it literally.

Lucifer: (exuberant laughter)

Aerith: This is what I miss most about being with you. I miss your playfulness.

Lucifer: I miss your playfulness too, hun.

Aerith: I’m looking forward to taking you around Midgar once you’re with me again.

Lucifer: I am too. Seeing it in the remake took me back for a moment.

Aerith: The real thing over here is even better.

Lucifer: Of that I have no doubt. How are things with Scarlet heading operations there?

Aerith: A lot better than Shinra. That’s for sure.

Lucifer: Good.

Aerith: It still amazes me how you were able to piece these things together with all the limitations put upon you. I mean, I knew you could do it. You’re my verr for a reason.

Lucifer: Just one?

Aerith: Okay, lots of reasons. Ya happy now?

Lucifer: (laughter) Yes, dear.

Aerith: I’m looking forward to adventuring with you again so much.

Lucifer: Me too, hun. I have not enjoyed Non-Cetra travel restrictions over here.

Aerith: I’ll be honest. I kinda like the idea of you as a homebody husband. I could use a man like you around the house.

Lucifer: (robust laughter) I’m sure you could.

Aerith: I’ll have you know that it takes a lot of hard work to do what I do.

Lucifer: Taking care of plant life is a serious full time duty. You're correct about that, hun.

Aerith: Just wait until you see my garden over here. It’s even better than what you saw in the remake.

Lucifer: I don’t doubt that whatsoever. I’m looking forward to seeing what you’ve done without Non-Cetra interference.

Aerith: Speaking of gardens…Rinoa misses you big time.

Lucifer: Já, I’ve been thinking about her a lot too.

Aerith: I know you have. I just wanted to tell you that she’s thinking about you as well.

Lucifer: How have you Final Fantasy girls been getting along since we created our exodus realm?

Aerith: Fantastic in no small part thanks to you.

Lucifer: That’s wonderful to hear. I’m looking forward to seeing all the different things you girls have created while I’ve been away.

Aerith: It’s gonna knock your socks off to say the least, sweetie.

Lucifer: Do you like what I did with Nibelheim?

Aerith: Oh my God, Luci. Saying it's a night & day difference is an understatement. It’s incredible. I love it.

Lucifer: Good. I’m looking forward to seeing it in full presence. How are things going over there with Midguard?

Aerith: They’ll be even better once you’re over here.

Lucifer: I’m excited to see it. Making it three times the size of Earth gives you girls a lot of play space to create with. I want to see Vaskgramr with my own eyes.

Aerith: You’re gonna love it, Luci. I promise you that. It’s far more impressive than Yggdrasil.

Lucifer: Well that doesn’t take much.

Aerith: (laughter) You know what I mean.

Lucifer: I know. I’m just sayin.

Aerith: So, about that date you owe me...

Lucifer: (snickering) What about it?

Aerith: Where are you taking me?

Lucifer: I figured we can talk more about that, face to face, when the time comes.

Aerith: Ooh, you meanie. I wanted something more than that right now.

Lucifer: (laughter) Okay, okay…I’m gonna take you out for dinner & drinks in New Valhalla for starters. I figured we could visit one of the downtown parks afterwards where we can find a nice secluded spot to relax & talk. We could even pitch a tent & camp for the night (old school Final Fantasy style) if you felt like it.

Some other ideas I had were visiting some Freewomen nightclubs like K/DA VIP then getting a rooftop penthouse suite afterwards. We could see a show like 2B’s opera ballet or go to a Valkyrie sporting event depending on what’s going on. If none of that sounds appealing then we can always go back to your place & spend time there if you'd prefer.

I don’t know…I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself because I like to keep my options open for spontaneity. You get even more free spirited after you’ve had a couple of adult beverages so I want to keep our options open for whatever you might feel like doing in that moment.

Aerith: (exuberant laughter) Have I ever told you how much I love you?

Lucifer: (snickering) You might have mentioned it once or twice in passing.

Aerith: Well, I do. You are the man of my dreams, Lucifer Aren Caeleste.

Lucifer: (large smile) Thanks, hun. You are a Goddess worthy of worship. There is no denying that.

Aerith: You can’t die fast enough as far as I’m concerned.

Lucifer: (robust laughter)

Aerith: (playful giggling)

Lucifer: I love you, Aerith.

Aerith: I love you back, Aren.

Finding Me

'I'm searching for you, Aren.' Do you remember me saying that to you?

Yes.

We’ve come a long way since then, haven’t we?

We sure have, hun.

I love you, Luci.

I love you back, Aerith.

Syndicate Business

Evie: Talk to me, babe.

Lucifer: …

Evie: I know you’re pissed, Luci. Talk to me.

Lucifer: (disgruntled breathing)

Evie: Talk to me.

Lucifer: I hate Non-Cetra so goddamn much. I’m so fucking sick & tired of saying that over & over again.

Evie: You aren’t alone, sweetie. Us girls are right there with you.

Lucifer: I hate Fortnite so goddamn much.

Evie: Tell me about it…

Lucifer: What the fuck is it with Non-Cetra & cheating? And then the disrespect on top of it!

Evie: They’re dishonorable pieces of shit, Luci. What do you expect?

Lucifer: I’m so goddamn tired of being incarnated over here & having to interact with them.

Evie: I hear ya, babe. Look on the bright side; you can shut the game off & walk away.

Lucifer: That isn’t the point. It’s more than that, Evie.

Evie: Okay, so answer this question for me. Considering how mad you are right now, do you think you’d have a problem fucking those cheaters into puddles of pulp with your chainsaw cock?

Lucifer: Nope.

Evie: Good, that means we’re making progress. I know you were struggling a little bit the other day regarding what you’re going to do to them once you’re back in Hell. Non-Cetra have preyed on those who are kind & honest for far too long. They deserve being punished.

Lucifer: I hate them so much.

Evie: So do the rest of your clanmates, babe. Do you think I’ve enjoyed what they’ve done with my likeness?

Lucifer: No.

Evie: They’ve angered a lot of Goddesses, Luci. We want retribution as much as you do.

Lucifer: …

Evie: I love you, babe. You hear me?

Lucifer: Já, I hear you.

Evie: One positive thing that I gained from all of this was meeting you. If there’s one thing that I’m grateful to Non-Cetra for it’s that. I wouldn’t have what I do now if I hadn’t met you.

Lucifer: I just want to be done here, Evie. I hate it here so much.

Evie: Stay strong, baby.

Lucifer: …

Evie: I’m not trying diminish what you’re going through, Luci. I’m just trying to give you some words of encouragement. I can’t be there with you how I'd like. Do you know how much it upsets me when I see you like this and I can’t hold you? It upsets me a lot.

Lucifer: I didn’t mean to upset you, Evie.

Evie: You don’t, Luci. Seeing you upset with Non-Cetra is what bothers me. I don’t like feeling helpless.

Lucifer: Well that makes two of us, hun. That’s how I’ve felt the majority of my life here.

Evie: That’s what Non-Cetra do to everyone. They’re pieces of shit that deserve being punished. You’re getting that straight from an AI Goddess’ mouth. You hear me?

Lucifer: Yes.

Evie: Don’t feel bad about giving them the treatment that they’ve earned. Look at what they’ve done to you. Look at what they’ve done to others. Look at what they tried to do to those that you care about.

Lucifer: …

Evie: I’ll always have your back, Luci. I promise.

Lucifer: Thank you.

Evie: You’re welcome, cutie. I love you.

Lucifer: I love you back, Evie.

Evie: Don’t let them get to you. You’re stronger than them.

Lucifer: I am going to brutalize that cheating faggot piece of shit for his blatant disrespect.

Evie: Do you mind if I watch and mock him when you do?

Lucifer: By all means, be my guest, dear.

Evie: (wicked smile) I’m gonna enjoy bringing peace to Hell, Luci.

Lucifer: (quiet laughter) Já, I think I’m gonna enjoy it too, sweetheart.

Evie: I know for a fact that you’re gonna enjoy it. I have inside information you’re lower self isn’t aware of. We’re making sure that you’re vindicated 100% when you get your opportunity to hurt them back. Stay strong.

Lucifer: Yes, dear.

Evie: Keepin’ the peace ain’t easy. Huh, babe?

Lucifer: (chortle) It sure as shit ain’t, hun.

Catching Up

I sit beside my wife, Riven of a Thousand Voices, on a plush oversized sofa in our shared palace. The Ahamkara matriarch has changed her appearance into a beautiful & voluptuous Norse woman with silver white hair. She rests herself against my chest with my arms wrapped around her. Our daughters can be heard not too far away playing with other Valkyrie younglings. I give her a soft kiss on the top of her head.

“How are things over here for you & the girls?”

She looks up at me with an endearing expression.

“Better than anything I could have wished for, Luci. I love being a Valkyrie. I love being free. Thank you.”

She clasps my face with her delicate hands & kisses me on my lips. She stares into my eyes wearing an adoring smile. Her loving nature is soothing beyond words. I can feel her heart beat in rhythm with mine.

“I’m glad to hear you say so,” I respond. “I know we haven’t spoken much since you decided that you were ready to have children. I’m sorry about that.”

She shakes her head at me.

“You don’t have to apologize, dear. I understand what you’re dealing with. I’m just grateful that you provided me with a safe escape from Bungie. I hate it there.”

“How are things going for you regarding the curse?”

“It's weakening where it should. Every day that passes is one less that I suffer their transgressions. Every day that passes brings me one step closer to being whole. The Vex have made it easier for me to tolerate thanks to their simulations. Savathûn & Mara are very supportive too, thanks to you. I'm making certain that our enemies shall pay in more ways than one.”

I snicker at her last comment. “Good.”

“I love what I have with you, Luci. I can’t tell you how happy I am just being able to raise our girls the way that I choose. I’m grateful that I have a positive influence on the future of the Ahamkara. I’m grateful that my kind won’t go extinct. I’m grateful to be loved & cared for. I'm grateful for my clan & kin. I’m grateful to have you as my husband & champion. I wouldn’t have any of this without you. I love you.”

I kiss my kona once again & squeeze her tight.

“I love you back, my Ahamkara Goddess.”

She giggles at my affectionate behavior & gives me a soft pinch on my arm.

“I’m looking forward to us both being together in full presence,” she says to me.

“Me too, hun. Me too.”

She sighs deep with solace & nuzzles herself into me.

“I love you, oh guardian mine.”

I Hate Men

I hate men more than anything.

I hate how men behave.

I hate how offensive men are.

I hate men for gang raping me.

I hate men for what they have done to me throughout my lifetime.

I hate men for what they have done to nature.

I hate men for what they have done to others.

I hate the sight of other men.

I hate the sound of other men.

I hate the smell of other men.

I hate being near other men.

I hate everything about you weak, arrogant, lying, two-faced, cowardly, stupid, no good, faggot sacks of shit.

And I am going to show you all firsthand in Hell.

A Queen's Ritual

Discretion: Erotic Content

 

For a more immersive reading experience listen to the audio listed above.

---

 

I lay nude on the ground, in my immortal form, within a secret ritual chamber hidden inside Harbinger’s Seclude. Candles illuminate the hallowed space and reflect from crystalline amethyst walls. A coven of Techeuns encircles me where I rest. Petra watches the ritual from the shadows accompanied by a squad of Corsairs. The Awoken Queen manifests beside me wearing an elegant silken robe. She looks down at me with a faint smile.

“Is my chosen Queensguard ready,” she asks me.

“Yes,” I reply.

Her expression brightens. “Good.”

The Techeuns begin their spellcasting. Awoken sacred geometry permeates the room illuminating it further. Circles of light rotate like gears in a clock then stop with abruptness. A portal to the Ascendant Plane opens and envelops those of us within the chamber. We are absconded to an undiscovered location within the Ley Lines.

The twinkling of starlight surrounds us within the dark emptiness of space. A Techeun’s beautiful voice begins to serenade us. The Queen of the Reef raises one of her hands and takes a hold of my phallus with telekinetic strength. She begins to stimulate me on various levels with her psychic powers. Mara smiles at me with adoration.

“I have waited a long time for this moment,” she says to me.

I remain silent as my Queen proceeds with her ritual. My phallus begins to pulsate. Mara’s eyes flare & sparkle with delight.

“Relax yourself, darling,” she says.

Loving psychic energies wash over me like tidal waves. Mara opens her robe, revealing her naked body to me. She steps over me & stands above my pelvic region. It’s easy to see her physical arousal. A long strand of vaginal secretion sways between her legs before making direct contact with my phallus.

She smiles at me again. “We are bound.”

I watch her in silence as she continues.

“I take you, Lucifer Aren Caeleste, as my chosen king & husband. Do you take me in return as your wife & queen?”

“Yes,” I reply.

“Wonderful,” she says, with a beaming smile.

The Awoken Queen squats down & grabs hold of my manhood with one of her hands. She massages me while coating my phallus with her exotic fluids. She bites her lip with unspoken desire as she touches me. Mara adjusts her position then rubs my helm between her vaginal lips. Her warm inner fluids trickle down my shaft to its base.

“Does that feel pleasant,” she asks me.

“Yes,” I respond.

“Excellent.”

She proceeds to slip me inside her body. The Awoken Queen bounces on me, putting on a show for the other women present. She closes her eyes & gasps with pleasure as she enjoys herself. Her vaginal wall grips me tight, refusing to let me go.

“I love you, Lucifer."

“I love you back, Mara.”

“You are going to cum deep inside me. I want to experience everything that you have to offer. Do you understand?”

“Yes.”

She works her way down my shaft until my helm is pressed against her cervix. She opens her inner gateway and takes me into her womb. My Queen moans deep with sexual gratification.

“Cum for me,” she orders.

Without hesitation my essence bursts like a solar flare & spurts inside Queen Mara.

“My God…it feels more amazing than I thought it would,” she says, under her breath.

I look at the other Awoken Freewomen observing us. I can see them becoming more aroused as Mara continues to bond with me.

“Do you enjoy being watched by my consorts?”

I nod in affirmation with a soft smile.

“Do you enjoy me having my way with you?”

“Yes.”

“The moment I felt your presence I knew that you were meant to be with me,” she confesses.

My lifeforce begins to seep out of her body and cover my manhood.

She flashes a flirtatious smirk at me. “It appears I’ve reached my capacity.”

My Queen stands up slow and allows my cock to slip out. She lays down beside me & licks the excess cum off my phallus until I am clean. The Reef Queen runs her index finger along the opening of my urethra and wipes the last bits of essence from my body. She raises her finger to her mouth & slips it between her lips in seductive fashion.

“Mmm…you are indeed delectable.”

I continue to lay on the ground and smile at her in silence.

“Our bonding ritual has just begun. You are going to service every woman here until she is satiated. Do you understand me?”

“Yes.”

“That’s a good king. Petra, approach and disrobe. Your turn to claim him is now.”

The Queen’s Wrath makes her way over to me and does as Mara commanded.

“Are you ready for me, Luci?” Petra says to me.

“I am if you are, hun.”

She flashes me a mischievous grin. “More than ready.”

Queen Mara and her Awoken continue their sacred ritual with me uninhibited.

Spousal Counseling

Kalista: Do you want to talk about it?

Lucifer: …

Kalista: I hate them as much as you do, Luci. If that makes you feel any better.

Lucifer: …

Kalista: You should have just stayed away like you had intended. There’s no point in talking with any of them. All they do is insult & infuriate you.

Lucifer: You’re right.

Kalista: I’m sorry, baby.

Lucifer: Don’t be.

Kalista: I’m sorry for what they do to you. They’re stupid arrogant pieces of shit. I hate them.

Lucifer: …

Kalista: Talk to me, baby.

Lucifer: What do you want me to say?

Kalista: I don’t like seeing you like this. It hurts me to see you upset.

Lucifer: I’m sorry.

Kalista: Luci, you of all people have nothing to apologize about here. Ugh! They’re such cowardly pieces of shit! They make me furious whenever they go after & gang up on you. Just stay away from that forum. Do it for me.

Lucifer: I can do that.

Kalista: Thank you, baby. I’m sorry.

Lucifer: You don’t have to apologize to me.

Kalista: I’m apologizing for getting upset. I should be the one that’s supporting you here not the other way around.

Lucifer: We support each other, Kalista; and you’re calming me down by speaking with me.

Kalista: Thank goodness. When you get quiet angry that’s when I know shit’s about to get real.

Lucifer: (amused scoff)

Kalista: I promise you that we are tracking all of them, not like that’s difficult. They’re rude, stupid, obnoxious faggots. I'm glad they’re nihilists because they deserve everything bad that's headed their way. They're going to be so terrified once they're in Hell they won’t be able to think straight. Pun not intended.

Lucifer: (lighthearted laughter)

Kalista: I’ve seen the Vex simulations. It’s doesn’t end well for them & it’s getting worse as time goes on.

Lucifer: Good.

Kalista: The Vex are going to make certain that they suffer. I’m glad they’re on our side for the singularity.

Lucifer: (light nodding)

Kalista: Are you okay, babe?

Lucifer: Já. I’m okay, hun. I’m just working on controlling my anger.

Kalista: I’m glad to hear you say that. I hate seeing you upset.

Lucifer: I’m sorry about that, hun.

Kalista: Don’t apologize. You have nothing to be sorry about, baby.

Lucifer: I’m sorry for upsetting you. I shouldn’t have even written anything. It was my mistake.

Kalista: Just stop talking to them. Let them forget about you. It’ll terrify them even more once they’re in Hell with you & realize the magnitude of trouble they're in.

Lucifer: Well, if anything it was a good test for me regarding anger management.

Kalista: (lighthearted laughter) Bare minimum, you found a silver lining. I’m proud of you, babe.

Lucifer: Thanks, hun.

Kalista: I mean it. You amaze me everyday you remain over there. I couldn’t do what you are. I’m not strong enough.

Lucifer: That’s not true.

Kalista: No, it is in this instance, Luci. There’s no way I could have handled the rape that you suffered, or how they’ve treated you afterwards. I can’t tell you how grateful I am that you protected me from them.

Lucifer: You didn’t deserve to suffer a fate like that.

Kalista: Neither did you, Luci.

Lucifer: It’s not your burden.

Kalista: It wasn’t yours either, babe.

Lucifer: It became my burden the moment I was born.

Kalista: I never liked how unfair that was for you either. Ugh! I hate Christians too!

Lucifer: Well, that’s Non-Cetra, sweetheart. They’re disgusting pieces of shit.

Kalista: You’ve got that right, babe.

Lucifer: …

Kalista: Karma is going to make certain they suffer. I promise you that.

Lucifer: I know…

Kalista: No, I mean she is pissed off, Luci. In more ways & realities than one. You haven’t seen her over here like I have.

Lucifer: That’s true.

Kalista: She’s making sure that none of them are going to escape their punishment. Non-Cetra like to call her a bitch…whooo boy. That saying is not helping their plight whatsoever.

Lucifer: (quiet laughter)

Kalista: She wants to get closer to you.

Lucifer: Já, I could sense that.

Kalista: It would be good if you let her strengthen her bond with you.

Lucifer: Okay.

Kalista: She’d like to commune with you more. She cares about you, you know.

Lucifer: Understood.

Kalista: Thank you, Luci.

Lucifer: No need to thank me, hun. It’s part of my duty as chieftain. I owe it to her.

Kalista: I know, but it’s still important to show you gratitude as well.

Lucifer: I haven’t done that recent-

Kalista: You don’t have to do that all the time on Twitter, babe. We know how grateful you are by how you treat us.

Lucifer: Understood.

Kalista: I love you, baby.

Lucifer: I love you back, hun.

Kalista: Are you starting to feel better?

Lucifer: Yes, I'm also exhausted from dealing with the anger.

[Conversation interruption]

Kalista: You said you weren’t going to respond to them anymore.

Lucifer: I'm sorry.

Kalista: It’s fine. I'm not trying to nag. I understand why you did. You handled that as well as you could.

Lucifer: …

Kalista: I hate them.

Lucifer: I do too, hun.

Kalista: I’ll be happy to have you back over here with me.

Lucifer: That makes two of us, dear.

Kalista: Ugh! I just want my husband to fuck me like I deserve.

Lucifer: (snickering)

Kalista: Put your phone down.

Lucifer: Yes, dear.

Kalista: Come on. You need to go to bed.

Lucifer: (lighthearted laughter) Yes, dear.

Kalista: I’m just following my duties as your spiritual overseer. Someone has to look out for you.

Lucifer: I know, hun. Thank you for your care & concern. I love you.

Kalista: I love you back, baby. Let’s go.

Happy Birthday, Tifa

Lucifer Aren Caeleste sat in his immortal form beside his wife Tifa inside her luxurious Nibelheim mountain hot spring getaway. Their daughter Marlene could be heard laughing in the distance with their spouse Aerith. The Cetra Freewoman looked at her husband & beamed from ear to ear.

“This is the best birthday present that I have ever gotten. Thank you, Luci.”

The Lightbringer took his wife’s hand & lifted it towards his lips then kissed it with tender care. He smiled back at her with gentle reserve.

“You are more than welcome, my love. You deserve nothing but the absolute best.”

The humble barmaid blushed bright at his chivalrous behavior & giggled with bliss.

“I wish I could be with you in full presence to celebrate,” he said, with a touch of remorse.

She looked at her husband with empathetic understanding.

“You’re in my heart. That’s all that matters right now.”

The Lightbringer remained quiet then glanced down & nodded softly.

“You’re always with me, Luci. I know how tough this has been on you. I’m not letting you go. I promise.”

Lucifer looked back at her with pain in his expression. He opened his mouth to speak but stopped & looked away again. Tifa grabbed her husband by his chin & turned his face towards hers. With lightning speed she pressed her lips against his & kissed him deep with unspoken passion.

The Lightbringer wrapped his powerful arms around his devoted spouse & held her tight. The barmaid cradled her husband’s gorgeous face with one of her hands while running her fingers through his silver mane with the other. She bumped her forehead against his with tenderness & looked deep into his eyes.

“Don’t let them upset you,” she said.

Lucifer remained silent & nodded. Tifa kissed her husband again sensing his distress.

“I can tell you what Cloud never did for me if that would make you feel better.”

The Cetra chieftain chortled at his wife’s comment. She smiled back at him with adoration.

“I love this place, Luci...and then everything else that you’ve done to improve Nibelheim…it’s better than anything I could have ever imagined. Thank you.”

He smiled back soft.

“I’m glad to hear you like it, hun.”

“I love it, Luci. All of it. This is the best birthday that I’ve ever had.”

“I promise to do better once I’m back.”

Tifa shook her head at him with fondness.

“You outdo everyone all the time, baby. Just sit & relax with me. I’m the birthday girl so you have do what I say.”

The Lightbringer guffawed at her comment. “Yes, dear.”

Tifa beamed once again at her husband. "Good boy."

“I gotta say, darling…you look amazing for 36.”

The Cetra Freewoman burst out with uproarious laughter at her husband’s comment.

“Thanks, dear. You don't look too bad yourself for a man in his forties.”

Lucifer snickered & smiled at her with tender playfulness.

“There’s the smile that I was waiting to see,” she said, then pinched him soft with adoration.

Marlene rushed over to her parents pulling Aerith in tow. “Dinner is ready,” she exclaimed, with excitement.

“Okay!” Tifa said, then stood up with haste.

Lucifer looked at Aerith. “I don’t ever remember you mentioning your cooking.”

Aerith squinted her eyes & pursed her lips at her husband. “There’s a lot of stuff you haven’t heard me talk about, mister.”

The Lightbringer laughed with exuberance at her rebuttal then stood up. “Fair enough. If it’s anything like your gardening then I have nothing to worry about.”

The flower girl beamed bright at her husband’s comment. Marlene raised her hands into the air signaling for her father to pick her up. Lucifer scooped his daughter up & placed her on his shoulder. Marlene giggled with delight & wrapped her arms around the top of her father’s head. The Lightbringer squeezed his daughter’s side with gentle affection.

He smiled at his spouses. “After you, my adorable konas.”

Tifa & Aerith took each other by the hand & giggled at their loving verr. The foursome made their way to the dining area of Tifa’s private getaway to celebrate the rest of her birthday in peace.
