The Devil Within

Possession Isn't as Glamorous as it Sounds

"Why do you even enjoy this crap?"

"It helps that I need food to survive, y'know?" You said, raising a brow as you sat on your bed. "But a lot of food can be delicious if you give it a chance." 

"Bullshit," Lucifer huffed, disgusted as he threw the bit of sandwich he stole off your plate back down, a small bite taken out of it. "All I taste are molecules."

"That's because this wasn't made with your enhanced taste buds in mind," you shot back, taking a bite from your separate piece of sandwich. 

"Try using your vessel's taste buds," Raphael suggested, eating an apple from the corner of your room. "You may find it quite flavourful, Lucifer."

"Doubt it," Lucifer huffed, making you raise a brow.

"You took my food, ate one bite, and you're not going to finish it?" You said, handing Lucifer the piece of sandwich that he previously took a bite out of. "I'm not eating your scraps, be a big boy and finish it yourself. If worse comes to worst, I'm sure you can turn off your sense of taste to finish the damn thing."

Lucifer grumbled as he took the sandwich from your hand and took a very passive-aggressive bite. You snorted as you kept eating your lunch, enjoying the company of three Archangels while their dad was talking to his homicidal sister. The four of you moved to your room to both give Chuck some space and let the rest of the Blessed roam around without fearing their lives regarding Lucifer. You decided to grab lunch on your way up to the room so you could stay up there a little longer, giving the rest of the Blessed some more freedom so they weren't confined to their rooms any longer than they needed to be. While waiting Chuck out, the four of you had turned on the television and started taking turns watching what the other did. Michael and Lucifer chose separate documentaries but Lucifer, being Lucifer, hated that humans were mentioned a lot more than he thought they would. To keep the peace, you were lucky enough to find an episode of America's Funniest Home Videos right in the middle of a white man doing some stupid shit. Lucifer started laughing and taking digs at humans while Michael and Raphael sighed in disappointment watching all the dumb people doing dumb things. Though, all of them enjoyed the animals and kids doing random crap. 

"People send in videos of them being morons?" Lucifer snorted, actually finishing the sandwich. 

"Just wait until Vine, YouTube, and TikTok start up," you said, standing up with your plate in hand. You walked over to your desk and set the empty plate down before walking back to your bed. "That's when the real idiots show their faces. Especially with TikTok."

"What are those?" Michael asked, raising a brow as a child fell down some stairs on the television.

"Social media networks centred around sharing videos," you explained, sitting back down. "Vine does seven-second comedy videos, Youtube started out as cute cat videos and TikTok was a cesspool of a social media site where everything and nothing goes."

"I don't understand TikTok," Michael said, frowning.

"No one really did," you said, shrugging. "The algorithm was weird."

"Shush," Lucifer hushed, eyes on the tv with a grin on his face. "A human's trying to impress an ape."

You snorted as you watched the ape in the video get amazed by a magician making a coin disappear. "Were you impressed?" You asked, sarcasm seeping into your laugh.

"Ptf," Lucifer scoffed, rolling his eyes, "no. That poor chimp has been subjected to humans too much that their stupidity has rubbed off on her."

"Okay then," you said, chuckling. You wanted to ask how he knew the chimp was a girl but one look at his six red wings quickly reminded you that he knew a lot more. "I guess stupidity can be rubbed off."
