Happy Birthday
a/n: just a little something special for Lucifer’s birthday before the day is over, enjoy ♡
Lucifer was never one to make a huge fuss over his birthday. Of course while he enjoyed celebrating it with his brothers and his two friends, that was always it, nothing more happened during this time.
Sure he would receive birthday wishes and presents as well, but he could never find himself really caring about any of it.
While it did boost his ego a bit to have so many people care for him, he realized he could always have that on a normal day, so he didn’t pay much attention to his birthday. And honestly when you’ve lived as long as he has you tend to forget how old you even are. So thus his birthdays reduced to a nice celebration that he never really put much thought into.
That was until you came around.
The first year you celebrated his birthday with him turned into one he could never bring himself to forget.
He had been working late in his office that night paying no mind to what was going on around him as he finished up paperwork for Diavolo. The faint sound of his newly purchased cursed record played through the office, and a nice breeze was let in through a cracked window. Lucifer was tired, yes, but he was comfortable.
Once he finished up the last paper of the stack he was working on he set it to the side and groaned as he glanced at the other stacks.
Reality hit him and caused him to realize he needed a pick me up before he was going to get back to work so he headed towards the kitchen with the intent of making some coffee, instead however he was met with the sight of you in an apron holding a mixing bowl.
Lucifer stood in the doorframe and admired you for a minute as you hummed to yourself while you mixed the cake batter. Unbeknownst to him you had spent months taking baking classes with Barbatos in order to make him a perfect birthday cake.
As you happily mixed the cake batter you imagined what Lucifer’s face would look like when he was presented with the cake, and you couldn’t help but feel your chest swell with pride.
Once you finished you poured the cake batter into the pans then turned around to open the oven, that’s when you saw Lucifer.
Your face turned pale and you almost dropped the cake pan, to which the first born let out a chuckle.
Surprised and honestly freaked out, you commanded him to go to his office so he wouldn’t ruin the surprise you planned.
Lucifer claimed that he just wanted coffee and that his intention was never to ruin your surprise but you still told him to leave anyway. Sighing, he turned around and made his way back to his office. On the way there however he was greeted with numerous decorations all over the house.
“Had you done these yourself?” He wondered.
His brothers possibly couldn’t have done this because he checked on all of them awhile ago and each was passed out.
Did you really take time out of your day to make all of these yourself? Lucifer was honestly impressed to say the least; he couldn’t remember the last time someone put this much effort into his birthday. If he told his brothers something like that they would definitely get offended he thought and laughed at the idea.
He took his time walking back to his office since he was admiring the entire house and the beautiful work you set up.
After a few minutes you rushed into his office with some coffee and a few slices of his favorite princess poison apple. As you sat in his office and talked with him for a bit he couldn’t help but feel truly happy for once.
So he couldn’t help his curiosity when you hadn’t come back after a while. So again he made his way into the kitchen and was met with the sight of you smiling at a cake.
He then laughed and you just screamed in the process, which made him laugh even more.
“Go away! You’re not supposed to see this!” You screamed as he walked towards the cake.
He ignored you and instead admired the cake you just finished. It was a beautiful light blue circle cake that was decorated with ruffles and pearl sprinkles. And on the top in beautiful cursive was ‘happy birthday lucifer’ in white icing.
You waited anxiously as he looked over the cake. Your nerves were all over the place since he hadn’t said anything and it had been awhile.
“So…what do you...think?” You asked after a minute.
“It’s beautiful…you did a wonderful job MC” he smiled.
“Can I try it?” Lucifer then asked, looking over at you.
“Well it’s supposed to be for tomorrow but-“ you started, but just as you spoke the clock struck midnight.
“Well technically it is your birthday now, so go ahead” you laughed.
Lucifer nodded and grabbed a fork nearby; then he took a small piece of the side of the cake.
“It’s very good,” he said after a minute. “Very sweet too.”
“Is it too sweet?” You asked nervously.
“No no, not at all, in fact it’s the perfect amount of sweet. Just like you.” He smiled as he leaned down to kiss you.
You laughed then spoke looking up at him. “Well if you like it I can make it again for you next year”
“Then it’s settled,” you said.
You then went to kiss him again, but after you pulled away you grabbed him and pulled him into an embrace.
“Happy Birthday Lucifer, I love you”
“Thank you MC. And I love you too.”
His second birthday with you was spent in the human realm when they all came to visit.
It was honestly a very exhilarating birthday because who knew the human realm possessed so many interesting things to do on one's birthday.
After the whole celebration was over however you and him relaxed in his room cuddling as you recalled the events of the whole day.
But just as you both got comfortable you sprung out the bed and rushed out the door claiming you’ll be back in a second, and you were.
You walked into his room with the same cake you made him last year, with a single candle lit and all. As you made your way through the door you softly sang him happy birthday then placed the cake down on the table as you waited for him to sit down next to you.
Once he sat down you smiled at him then spoke.
“I’m glad I was able to spend another birthday with you, I hoped you enjoyed it”
Lucifer’s eyes softened and he smiled at you. “MC I’m going to enjoy any birthday I spend with you. But thank you.”
“Make a wish!” You then said pushing the cake towards him.
“If you insist.” Lucifer laughed.
He took a moment and looked at the cake as if he was thinking of what to wish for, and after a minute he finally blew out the candle and looked up smiling back at you.
“Ooh, try the cake! How is it?” You then said grabbing a fork.
Lucifer opened his mouth as you fed him the cake then looked around for a few moments.
“It tastes sweet, and again it’s very good thank you MC”
“I’m glad you like it.” You smiled, then pressed a kiss to his lips.
“I love you too MC.” He smiled back.
“But this isn’t going to be the only sweet thing I’m tasting tonight is it?” Lucifer joked as he leaned towards you.
“What do you mean?” You replied playing dumb, but in actuality you knew exactly what was about to happen.
“Don’t play dumb with me, you know what I mean” Lucifer said as he walked towards you and lifted you over his shoulder.
A loud plop sound was made as you collided with his bed, and no later than a second he was on top of you.
This was going to be a long night…
His third birthday with you was spent again in the Devildom, this time however you came to visit.
A grand party was held in the Demon Lord’s castle courtesy of Diavolo and everyone had dressed up for the occasion.
Lucifer wore a stunning navy blue suit gifted to him by Diavolo, and you wore the other matching outfit. Due to this he found it hard to keep his hands off you that whole night, and honestly he didn’t care if others were watching him, it was his birthday so he was determined to be spoiled by you.
When it came time for the cake Barbatos had brought out a large one for everyone and placed it on the center of the table. Next he brought out a small cake with a single candle and placed it in front of Lucifer.
The first born looked at you and smiled as you saw the cake.
“I hope you like it.” You said placing a kiss on his cheek.
“I always do, and thank you MC”
Everyone then sang happy birthday to him as he prepared to blow out the candle.
“In hopes for another happy year with you.” Lucifer said softly, squeezing your hand. You squeezed his back and placed another kiss on his cheek then whispered quietly into his ear.
“Promise to spend my next birthday with me?” Lucifer whispered.
“Of course I promise, I’d never miss your birthday” you smiled.
Lucifer was going to hold you to that promise.
This was his fourth birthday with you.
As he opened his eyes he looked up at his ceiling and just sighed. He wasn’t in any hurry to get dressed or even to see anyone, after all it’s his birthday, shouldn’t he take his time?
When he opened the door and stepped out of his room he saw all your birthday decorations across the walls and doors. Each decoration was a mixture of his favorite colors and had an elegant finish, like always. And as he walked into the foyer the large banner that read ‘happy birthday lucifer’ in cursive was hung up like always.
His brothers had made him a buffet of all his favorite breakfast and brunch foods to celebrate, and they even wished him a happy birthday enthusiastically.
As they each ate he couldn’t help but be surprised all his brothers were actually out of their rooms. Nowadays most of them hole themselves in there and don’t come out, if they do it’s because he pulls them out, but nonetheless he’s happy they’re eating.
“Oh yeah Lucifer, Barbatos made a cake for ya, he said to check if you like it, if not he can make you another one” Mammon said as they all finished cleaning up.
Lucifer nodded and made his way towards the kitchen, wondering what Barbatos had made this time. As he walked to the cake display he looked down and felt his breath get caught in his throat.
The cake resting on the glass display resembled the exact one you had made for him for the past three years. The decorations, placing, frosting colors and all. It shook him to his core to see that cake, so much so he wanted to throw up.
He was trying his hardest to pretend that everything was okay and claim he could make it through today without you, but seeing that cake just about pushed him over the edge.
He couldn’t stand seeing the decorations you made for him be put up without you here. He couldn’t stand seeing that damn banner from last year hanging up. He told Mammon not to put it up mainly because he knew he couldn’t face the fact that you still weren’t here to celebrate with him like you promised.
Besides they all saw how Asmo had a full on mental breakdown when he saw the birthday banner you made for him last year hanging up, he didn’t want to go through the same thing.
This damn cake had broken whatever composure he was still holding onto. Sure he knew Barbatos meant well, but he should’ve just made something else because this was too much for him to register at the moment.
As he continued looking at the cake he couldn’t help but feel sick and upset, so in a fit of anger he pushed it off the counter and watched the glass cake stand and the cake fall to the floor and shatter into pieces.
Mammon rushed in at the sound of something breaking, and was then scared at the sight of his older brother looming over the cake Barbatos had made. Lucifer’s face showed many emotions, too many for him to register a specific one he was feeling, he hadn’t ever seen so many emotions on his older brother.
“Lucifer…are you okay?” Mammon then asked as he skeptically looked at his older brother.
“Clean this up.” Lucifer then said before leaving the room. Mammon looked at him surprised, and then rushed over to try and question him again but he had already disappeared down the hall.
As Lucifer made his way to your room he tore down every decoration on the way. A part of him did feel bad for destroying the decorations you put so much effort into, but he simply couldn’t stand seeing them up.
When Lucifer finally reached your room he opened the door then slammed it shut after he entered. He didn’t want to be around Diavolo or Barbatos or even his brothers today; he needed you.
But you were no longer here.
Solomon promised to bring you back but there’s been no progress on that since he left, and Lucifer still can’t help but worry with each passing day.
But he was hopeful that maybe, just maybe, you’d return for his birthday to spoil and pamper him like always.
You promised him…remember?
It was a silly wish he knows but it’s all he can do with you being away.
As Lucifer sat on your bed he heard his D.D.D ding and reluctantly picked it up to see who it was. The message was from Solomon, much to his surprise.
He opened his D.D.D to check the whole message and it read…
Solomon: Happy Birthday Lucifer!
A single tear rolled down his face as he looked at his D.D.D.
Soon the single tear became many and Lucifer cried as he reread your message over and over again.
He didn’t care about anything anymore; he just wished you were here with him.
Solomon looked at the messages that showed ‘read’ and sighed putting his D.D.D back in his pocket.
He never told you he was still able to contact everyone from the present, but he figured he would at least do something nice for Lucifer since it was his birthday after all. So he sent those messages in hopes of cheering the oldest up.
Solomon then sighed again and looked over to see you smiling and laughing with this Lucifer as you served him a familiar looking blue cake.
At least one version of him was lucky enough to spend a birthday with you.
a little headcanon of mine is the reason the og obey game doesn’t do birthday events anymore is because you’re not there to celebrate with them, so they can’t bear celebrating their birthday without, therefore they don’t hold anymore events at all.
this is totally a headcanon and not me trying to gaslight myself into not facing the fact that the og game is actually dead ( ꒦ິヮ꒦ິ)
