Tyki felt an overwhelming peace take over as she crashed into the water ,despite the fact that her body was screaming in pain, due to the water eating away at her soul and skin . Her body felt as though she was being eaten whilst drifting aimlessly, pain erupted througout her body but then she felt the relief of pain being subsided and before she knew it she was being pulled from the depths of the water . The first thing she saw was the bright shine of a comforting lilac , she knew all to well and though still disoriented , her heart rate sped up , knowing exactly who it was .
" Eínaí dikó sas . " She said to him as she gestured to her entire body , a pledge of sorts, a promise she should have delivered on a long time ago.
" Indeed . " Came his reply , his tone flat .
Lucifer's disinterested response threw her off and pained her heart . She realised that a part of her had believed that despite everything she had done he would have remained same old Lucifer and had have forgiven her . She understood nonetheless, she remembered clearly, she had no rights to these emotions , no right to feel this way .
" Rise and know that with this hand you have grasped , you are all mine to control. " His voice was low , but his command absolute as it rumbled off the walls .
" Yes ,Lord Lucifer . " She agreed , looking into his eye , she clearly saw he had bandaged the other and dread filled her body .
She remembered the feeling as she fell through the air , how much she regretted not telling him.
" Lucifer I - " She started needing to tell him ,needing to start apologising for everything, but Lucifer shushed her a finger on her lips as he proceeded to pick her up bridal style .
" Shh little fox , rest and recover . I know that even my power couldn't have completely erased the effects of the water so quickly . " He told her . She grabbed on to him tightly and buried her face into his chest , her body shook with her tears as she cried .
" N - NO I - I must te -tell you . Lucifer I - I love you . " She cried , " I love you so much and it scares me , but still I shouldn't have - I'm so sorry for everything. I'm sorry I was too weak , I was denying my love for you and Zeus took advantage of my weakness . " She continued on .
"I know , I know it all so relax my little fox . I love you too . " He assured her . She felts safe in his arms, at peace and she knew she could trust him .
"I'm sorry. " She whispered one last time , her fingertips grazing his eyepatch, before her hand fell and she fell asleep.
Back at the mansion everyone was busy preparing for their return , preparing drinks and foods to celebrate their return home safely . Kayna and Alek stood together in the kitchen, Dylan and Liam were supposed to be helping them , but they weren't to be seen as yet .
" Do you think Liam and Dylan will be ok ? " Alek asked his fiancee .
" Huh ? Oh , I think that Dylan will be fine and I like Liam for him . " Kayna said as her focus returned. " Still I know they say that facing death allows you to prioritize things a bit more . I never expected you to just grab me and tell me to be your wife . " Kayna giggled . Alek laughed along with her and pulled her into a hug after she put the tray of cookies into the oven .
" I didn't expect such good news from you either . " He whispered in her ear . " I was planning to propose before our little adventure, Lucifer helped me pick the ring ." Alek confessed. Kayna giggled some more and kissed her fiance .
Their moment became interrupted as Liam and Dylan finally arrived.
" Lord Lucifer is back with Tyki , she isn't awake yet but everything is fine . " Liam said .
" How about you , are you fine ? " Kayna asked Liam as she handed him a glass of orange juice .
" I look that bad huh , guess you guys know too . " Liam sighed as he drank .
" Yeah I saw you crying earlier on . " Alek said .
" Why were you crying ? " Lucifer suddenly appeared and startled everyone, " Also why is everyone in here . "
Kayna glared at him , holding her heart ,
" OK First of all mister , fuck you for scaring me . " Kayna said. " Second we are finishing deserts and Dylan and Liam just came in here to tell us you arrived. "
" I see and the reason you were crying wouldn't have anything to do with those lovely marks would they . " Lucifer teased as Liam touched his neck. " You move fast . " He directed his words to Dylan who grabbed a apple and shrugged .
" I blame you , you thought him to be crude like that . " Kayna said .
" Hey why am I being blamed, he just went with me a couple times to the living world to hunt while he was training and we saw Liam a lot . He eventually said he liked him and I said go for it ,that's all . " Lucifer defended himself .
" Is true . " Dylan agreed, winking at Liam who blushed .
" Anyway I see you finally popped the question. " Lucifer said to Alek .
" Yeah in the most dramatic way . " Kayna laughed .
" Oh whatever you still said yes , how's my sister ? " He asked .
" She's fine the spell Zeus had on her is gone , she's just exhausted from the water . Let's get this food outside so we can all relax. " Lucifer said , blushing a little .
" Ouuu something happened didn't it ? " Kayna teased .
" Ugh why did I save you . " Lucifer mumbled before abruptly turning to Liam , " Liam you'll be staying here right ? " He asked the black haired boy .
" Yeah that was the plan . Still I'm just human I'm not sure I'll be much help . " Liam said scratching his neck embarrassed .
" You're perfect just the same . You could be plenty useful just as is . " Dylan interjected reassuring him still leaning over the counter, apple in hand .
" Well then looks like I need to stay home more , your engagement wasn't the only thing I missed around here . " Lucifer chuckled .
" That's what you're focused on right now ? " Kayna narrows her eyes at him .
" Actually Kayna and Alek, agreed to officially adopt me . Kayna is more of a mother to me than anyone. " Dylan said ,crunching into his apple unbothered.
" See that there , he gets that from you two . How can he say those sweet things while looking unbothered ." Kayna said sighing I'm exasperation as she accused Alek and Lucifer.
Lucifer laughed and motioned for Liam to help him carry out the food and desserts . As they made their way back to the living room , they could hear the newly formed family playfully bickering .
" You sure you wanna be a part of that ? " Lucifer asked as they rest the trays and bowls on the island . Liam smiled fondly in the direction of the rowdy voices.
"I love being here with all of you , feels like what a real family should be like . " Liam said happily.
" Dad ! " Nikolai called as everyone began to fill the room except Tyki who was still sound asleep . All were ready to relax after what they just went through and spent the rest of their time enjoying themselves .
