"Meet Candy Morningstar. My wife."

Chloe eyes the woman before turning her gaze to her partner. At the pleased look in his eyes, she loses it. A sharp slap and Dan rushes forwards to pull her back. Lucifer's hand comes up to gingerly touch his cheek while Candy's eyes are wide.

"How dare you," Chloe growls, trying to shove Dan's hands away. "You disappear for two weeks with no word then come back with a wife? What about Y/n? Did they mean nothing to you?"

"Of course not," Lucifer says in offense. He has to force himself to not burst out and tell what he's doing. "I just decided we should take a break and then... Well, I met Candy. Where are they anyway, they should meet her."

"If you can so easily walk away then it clearly meant nothing," Chloe hisses. "And besides... They're gone."

Lucifer's brows furrow at that. "Gone?"

Chloe glares at him. "I better get back to work. We have a job to do after all."

She makes to walk away only for Lucifer to hurry and block her way and practically demand, "What do you mean Y/n's gone?"

Chloe steps around him, her gaze cold. "You should go ask Ella. They were her sibling, she should give the news. And take Candy with you, I'm sure Ella would be delighted to meet her."

"Why do I feel like you're being sarcastic?" Lucifer asks in confusion.

The detective only smiles ruefully and walks away, Dan following her. Lucifer frowns at that before gesturing for Candy to follow him to the forensics lab. They find Ella there, sunglasses covering her eyes and Angel by Sarah McLachlan playing over a set of speakers in the corner.

The scientist looks up as they enter, instantly setting her microscope slides down. "Lucifer, you're back. Oh and who's this?"

"Candy Morningstar, my wife," Lucifer replies. "The detective said to ask you what happened to Y/n." Ella stills at that and that causes a frown to grow on Lucifer's lips, "Are you alright, Miss Lopez?"

The next second, he's faced with spanish curses and Ella whacking him with her shoe. Lucifer raises his hands in a weak defence, a startled yelp passing his lips.

"How dare you, Morningstar!" the scientist shouts. "How dare you disappear for two weeks with no calls, no texts, no nothing! You would know where Y/n is if you bothered to read the texts I sent you! The ones Chloe sent you too!"

"I—"

"Do it," Ella says coldly, stepping back. Her voice cracks slightly and Lucifer feels a dawning sense of fear as a tear slips down her cheek. "Read those texts, Lucifer. Right now."

Slowly, Lucifer pulls his phone out and opens his texts, scrolling through the messages from Ella that he's ignored.

Where are you?

Y/n misses you.

Hello?

Lucifer, this isn't funny. At least tell me you're alright.

Are you planning to come back at all?

Lucifer?

I didn't want to say this over text but you're not answering my calls. Y/n was killed. It was that serial killer they've been after, he set a trap of bombs. The funeral is in four days. Please tell me you'll be there.

Lucifer could feel his heart drop at that. That couldn't be right, right? Dead? You? You, the one he spent two years with? The one that can almost effortlessly make him smile? The one he loves more than anything? Dead?

"We barely had a body to bury," Ella says rueful and upset as she removes her sunglasses to wipe at her already red eyes. "They were cremated. Do you know how horrible it was to be the one to examine the scene?"

Lucifer doesn't say anything in reply, his own tears building in his eyes as he whispers to himself, "I missed the funeral... I missed seeing them..."

Candy places a hand on his shoulder in an effort to comfort him but otherwise remains silent, not knowing what to say.

Ella scoffs slightly, prompting Lucifer and Candy to look at her. "I don't know why I bothered telling you," she says with a forced, upset smile. "You clearly don't care. I should've realized that sooner."

"I do care," Lucifer whispers, voice heart-broken. "I care so much..."

"You're married!" Ella bursts out in anger, wiping her cheeks of her tears only for more to replace them. "You don't get to care! You go have your happy perfect life and forget like you're clearly trying to!"

Ella sniffles and leaves the room just as she starts sobbing, Candy watching her worriedly.

A throbbing pain settles itself in Lucifer's chest as he pictures your smiling face. He can almost hear your laughter and your voice telling him you love him.

Him of all people. Of all celestials. You loved him. You knew him and you loved him.

"Lucifer," Candy says softly.

Lucifer shakes his head softly, his eyes distant as he whispers, "I wasn't there..."
