My Little Angel - Friendship Is Holy
Chapter 1: My Little Angel
Load Full Story Next ChapterLucifer Morningstar stood on top of Canterlot Mountain, looking down on Equestria with a contemplative look. He let his black wings spread wide open, embers shooting from between his feathers as the mountain's winds hit his bare back. Lucifer shuddered slightly, relishing in the feeling of wind against his feathers.
It was almost euphoric to be able to see and fly again after being blind and grounded for months. But Lucifer was not complaining. In fact, the last few months of his life were probably his best.
A smile slowly spread across Lucifer's lips as his mind wandered to the pony that made his life so perfect.
Luna.
Ever since day one, Luna was there for Lucifer. It was almost hard for him to believe that it has been almost a year since the two revealed their true feelings for each other, and every day since was truly magical.
Another wave of cold air hit Lucifer's back, causing him to shudder and wrap his wings around his upper body. He turned around, looking at what used to be the tree of life. Now though, it was nothing more than an empty bark and a few thin branches. The tree lost its power when Lucifer plucked the fruit of life from it in order to resurrect Luna after she sacrificed herself to save him.
"There you are." A voice said from behind Lucifer, causing him to jump a little in place and turn around sharply, only to be taken by surprise when a pair of lips connected with his. Lucifer calmed down once he realized that it was none other than the light of his life, Luna.
Lucifer caressed Luna's cheek once they broke the kiss, getting himself lost in her beautiful turquoise eyes.
He leaned closely to Luna until their foreheads pressed against each other. "How did you know I was here?" he whispered lovingly, closing his eyes and letting the faint scent of lilacs invade his nose.
Luna nuzzled Lucifer's cheek before replying. "You always come here to think."
Lucifer chuckled. "Am I that obvious?"
Luna chuckled as well. "About as obvious as they come."
The two shared a brief laugh before Lucifer shuddered again. Luna looked down at his bare chest and frowned ever so slightly. "Why are you bare chested? Winter is coming. Do you want to catch a cold?"
Lucifer shrugged. "Angels can't catch a cold, love. And as to the why, well, it just feels good, I guess."
Luna shook her head from side to side and sighed, looking at Lucifer's bare chest. "Just put something on yourself before you poke somepony's eyes out."
He did not know why, but Luna's comment made Lucifer snicker, much to the night princess' dismay.
"What is so funny?" Luna asked, smiling despite of herself. Lucifer just continued to chuckle.
"Nothing, hehe, you're a funny mare."
"Oh, am I…" Luna's smile slowly turned into a smirk as she spread her wings to her sides, the tips of her feathers being dangerously close to Lucifer's exposed belly.
Lucifer stopped snickering all at once, looking almost fearfully at Luna. Slowly, Lucifer backed
away from the princess.
"Umm, love?"
"Hmm what, Sweetie?"
"Why are you smiling like that?" Lucifer's heart started to beat faster when his back came into contact with the bark of the tree of life.
Luna's smirk stretched from ear to ear. "Oh, nothing. Just… tickle, tickle, tickle!"
Luna began her relentless assault on Lucifer, brushing her feathers across his belly. Lucifer burst out laughing, falling onto the ground and trying to push Luna away with little success.
"Bahahahahaha… Lunahahahahaha… p-please stahahahahap!"
"Who is the most beautiful mare in Equestria?"
"You ahahahahahahare!"
"And will that ever change?"
"Nohohohohoho!"
"And will you go to the end of the world for me?"
"I will b-bring down the mohuhuhuhuhuon for you, hahahahaha!"
Satisfied, Luna stopped her assault on Lucifer, letting her wings rest at her side while crouching down and capturing Lucifer's lips with hers. She laid on top of him, shielding his exposed upper body from the cold. Lucifer's wings wrapped around Luna tightly, letting their heat warm Luna as well.
The two stayed like this for a while, enjoying each other's company as they kissed. Luna hummed in delight as Lucifer's wings hugged her closer to her lover's body. Never in her life has she felt so secured.
Finally though, the need for air forced the two to end their kiss, panting lightly. Lucifer brought his hands up and cupped Luna's face.
"I love you so much, Luna."
Luna closed her eyes, letting Lucifer's gentle touch sooth her. "I love you too, Morningstar."
The two embraced in another kiss. This one was gentler, but filled with emotion that conveyed what words could not. They stayed like this for what felt like hours, relishing in each other's touch.
The two broke the kiss, looking into each other's eyes.
"You're so beautiful, Luna," Lucifer said softly.
Luna smiled, nuzzling Lucifer's cheek before pecking his cute little nose. "You always know what to say to a mare."
"Better a happy mare than an angry one," Lucifer reasoned.
Luna chuckled before kissing him briefly on the lips. "And you better remember it."
Luna rose from her spot on Lucifer and turned around, looking at the setting sun. "Let us return to the castle before it gets too cold."
Lucifer rose as well, taking his robes from their perch on one of the branches before putting them on. His robes were light yellow, matching his blonde hair. He flapped his wings once, sending a torrent of embers that quickly dissipated in the cold mountain top.
Luna craned her head back and Lucifer smiled. "Come now, dear. I ordered the chef to make us soup tonight."
Lucifer's eyes shot open as he stared at Luna with a hopeful gaze. "Is it by any chance a veggie goulash?"
Luna giggled at Lucifer's expression before nodding. "Why, yes it is."
Lucifer had to suppress a fist pump as he jumped in the air and flapped his wings. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Luna suppressed a snicker as she followed her excited special someone back to the castle.
"Greetings Luna, Morningstar," Celestia greeted as both Luna and Lucifer entered the dining hall.
"How was your day?"
Lucifer was the first to speak. "Good evening, Celestia. My day was fine."
Celestia raised an eyebrow, smiling gently. "Only fine?"
Lucifer shrugged. "Not a lot happened. I like the quietness."
Celestia nodded before facing her sister. "And what about you, Luna? How was your day?"
Luna let out a sigh as she took a seat next to Celestia. Lucifer sat on her other side and caressed her back. "Exhausting, but productive."
"That is good to hear." Celestia then shifted her gaze to the royal chef as he entered the room with his entourage of waiters, carrying a big lidded pot and bowls made out of bread. A bread-bowl was placed in front of the three diners before the chef himself removed the lid from the pot, revealing a steaming veggie goulash.
Lucifer's smile slowly widened as a waiter poured some of the steaming soup into his bread-bowl. The chef and the waiters bowed their heads before leaving the room.
Celestia was the first to take a small sip from the soup, humming contently as the hot liquid warmed her throat. "If there is one thing I love about being a princess, it is definitely the food," Celestia commented, earning a giggle from Luna and Lucifer.
The three lapsed into a comfortable silence as they ate their soup, occasionally discussing about this and that. Once he was done with the soup, Lucifer ripped a nice chunk out of his bread-bowl and munched on it happily. Back in the time before his fall, Lucifer had no physical needs such as food or rest. Even now, eating and sleeping yield no benefit to the former archangel, and yet, Lucifer still ate and slept. Not because he needed to, but because he could do it. He had never felt as free as he was these last couple of months.
Sadly, every good thing must come to an end. With the soup all gone and the bowls eaten, dinner was concluded.
Celestia moaned happily as she rubbed her full belly. "Another wonderful meal to end yet another wonderful day." Celestia rose from her seat, Luna and Lucifer following suit, before the three made their way towards their respective chambers.
"Well, I guess it's time to hit the hay," Lucifer said once the three stopped in front Luna's chamber, though it could be considered Lucifer's chamber as well.
Celestia nodded, nuzzling Luna and hugging Lucifer. "I wish you both a good night's rest," Celestia bid, but before she could set course to her own chambers, a guard pony rushed towards the three before bowing hastily, panting.
"Y-Your… Majesties…" the guard panted between breaths.
Luna looked down at the guard pony with concern. "Rise," she commanded. The guard pony obeyed. "At ease my little pony. Please collect your thoughts and tell us what it is that has startled you."
The guard nodded briskly before taking some time to control his breathing. Once he did he looked at the princesses with a panicked gaze.
"There are… strangers in the throne room. They look like Mr. Morningstar and demand for him to come…"
A heavy silence dawned upon the hallway. The princesses shared a look of shock and worry while Lucifer's turned morbid and dark.
"I knew He would try something like this eventually," he growled before setting course to the throne room. A knife appeared in his hand out of thin air as he grasped it before running the sharp end of the blade across his palm. Lucifer kept walking as exactly two drops of golden blood hit the marble tiles before the wound closed completely.
The two drops glowed before turning white like the marble. The drops suddenly shifted, becoming larger and larger until two marble demons took place at each side of Lucifer. Much like the glass demon that attacked Lucifer when his mind was still fogged by amnesia, these demons were also humanoid shape with extremely sharp limbs.
Lucifer heard brisk clopping sounds as Luna and Celestia trotted to catch up with Lucifer.
"Morningstar, what is going on?" Luna asked, eyeing the marble demons warily.
"I don't know why I couldn't sense them before, but I can now," Lucifer responded. "It's Michael. And it appears that he brought company.”
Lucifer quickened his pace when he turned around a corner, now gazing at the big double doors leading to the throne room. He stopped right before the doors and turned to face Celestia and Luna.
"Luna, Celestia, please forgive me." Before the princesses could open their mouths, Lucifer continued. "Please, do not engage in battle with the archangels. They are my responsibly. My fight." He then turned to face the doors again. "If my senses are correct, there are six archangels in total beyond these doors."
"Lucifer-"
"Luna, please. I have to do it." Lucifer turned his head to face Luna and smiled. "I love you. And I won't let a single angel lay his fingers on you."
With a mighty push, Lucifer threw the doors to the throne room open.
"You have a lot of nerve showing your face again, Michael!" Lucifer bellowed. "This time, I wi-"
"Lucy!" Lucifer felt two arms wrap around his neck and bring him close to a body. The man smiled from ear to ear as he hugged Lucifer tightly. "Oh boy, I sure was a long time since I last saw you! Say, have you gotten fatter?"
Lucifer stared ahead, eyes bulging out of their sockets. Only one thought floated inside Lucifer's mind;
God, I hate you so much right now!
