Prince's Pet [mlm]

Parenting at nineteen

Lucien was startled awake, staring at his alarm clock, which seemed to give him a smirk. Lucien sighed and flipped off the clock, standing up and getting ready for the day.

He wore a black emo looking hoodie and ripped skinny jeans. Lucien is the tallest person in Hell, standing at 6'7", even towering over his own father, the king of Hell. He's quite muscular but it's not in your face, just a quiet sleeper build that appears whenever someone fucks with his little sister.

Lucien doesn't play around about his little sister— he's seen the horrors of Hell, taken the burdens and protected her. His little sister, Devella, was somehow still innocent at the age of fifteen, and he'd like to keep her that way. Once she saw things for what they really were, she'd never smile like that again.

The skyscraper prince made his way to the kitchen, which was grand as hell (pun intended) yet they literally never have guests over, so he always wondered why the fuck it was so big? Anyways, he brewed some coffee, all black, bitter tasting coffee, and sat down on the dark velvet  couch and put on the news.

*Breaking news! Prince Lucien was spotted walking down the street, looking sexy as fuck! Here's the footage now, sluts, you're welcome!*

"That's enough news for today," Lucien muttered to himself, turning the tv off entirely and sighing. He regrets turning it on every day, yet he always makes the same mistake.

Hell's news is unfiltered and quite literally insane, the most absurd shit is labeled 'breaking news!' And usually? It's just to gossip about the royals and talk about how sexy they are. Lucien is so over it.

"LUCI!" And there she goes. Devella, the one who's five feet tall and got the short end of the stick (literally speaking) came running towards her older brother. She was wearing kuromi pajamas and had her hair in pigtails.

She ran right up to Lucien, jumping on him and spilling his coffee everywhere. With how clumsy and childish she is, Lucien was convinced she was some sort of involuntary age regressor, but that's a conversation for another time. He didn't mind either way, she's the only person he actually loves; no other family to love, and their father is pretty absent even though he's physically in the house.

Lucien chuckled dryly, grabbing her gently and placing her on the carpet like a doll. "good morning to you too, sweetie," he said gently, to the only person he won't glare at and ignore. "Let's watch where we are going next time, hm?" Lucien said softly yet firmly, waving his hand and using his princely magic to get his off the coffee mess.

Devella nodded, looking sheepish. "Sorrrryyyyy, got too excited again..." she looked down, only to be met with a hug.

"It's okay, Vee, I love that you're still so excited to see me," Lucien said kindly, ruffling her hair. "Apparently, sixteen is the age that you're supposed to call me a dick and burn me with curling irons," he winked at her, trying to lighten the mood a bit. He knows his little sister feels really bad everytime she makes an accidental mess, which is daily. No, actually it happens hourly.

Devella crossed her arms and shook her head violently. "Never!" She hissed, grilling his wrist as tight as she could, which would break a persons hand, but to Lucien? Nothing. His Prince strength apparently dulls his sister's death grip, which is good because she does death grip him a lot. "You're my bestest friend! And my only friend!" She beamed, looking at him happily.

As much as Lucien loves being her best friend, it still saddens him. Their father never allowed them to be enrolled in school, never allowed them to go out or make friends. And Devella is very sheltered, especially because Lucifer insisted that when she does leave the house, that Lucien go with her.

It hurts him that she has no friends. Hell , she doesn't even know a single teenage girl she even could be friends. And because of Lucifer's absent parenting, Lucien had to grow up faster in order to take care of Devella. He had to protect her from the nut jobs in Hell, and to let her keep her innocence and happiness. The world hasn't fucked her up yet, and Lucien will do everything in his power to keep that from happening.

If being an older brother, best friend AND teaching her the things that father should've taught her falls on him, then he'll keep doing it, no matter how hard it is to be in that parental role.

Lucien doesn't trust their father, not one bit. He's made cruel comments about Devella's childish behaviour and interests, always tells her to "grow up" and makes fun of her. That really pisses off  Lucien; it's better shes clumsy and childish then be depressed and cruel like others in Hell.

His little sister is the light in this dark pit. No one else could get this close to him.

Or so he thought.
