Fuck, this was the worse part of Lucifer's job. The part he completely loathed. Killing sinners, or witnessing the worst people on earth didn't hurt the way this made his heart shatter.
The poor omega was trembling, wearing a soft white shift, that hardly covered them—curled up on the floor of his palace clutching their stomach in what had to be agony.
This is when Lucifer wishes he could take everything back. Take back the idea of alphas and omegas, take back falling in love with the first omega Lilith, and take back his fall from heaven.
He never got used to seeing an omega in pain. After he and Lilith fell, she had withered in agony. God had decided to punish Lucifer’s creation by making their mating cycle painful and excruciating.
He had seen Lilith's tears, how she had lost herself to baser animal instincts. Begging Lucifer to touch her, fuck her, kill her, anything to make the pain and burning stop.
Lucifer knew now that with modern technology, it had gotten slightly better on Earth, but in Hell, there was no way to stop it. The angels had decided long ago that no matter how pure, how sweet, how good an omega was, they would be condemned simply for being an idea of Lucifer’s. To spend eternity in baseless agony every few weeks or months and lose themselves.
Lucifer could never forgive himself.
This is the worst part however was having to tell them. Tell them that they had done everything right but it wasn't going to be enough to get them into heaven.
Some lashed out and were angry, clawing and biting at him. Some just sobbed into his lap begging for forgiveness he could not give. Some just stared, disassociated.
Lucifer kneeled placing his cane down on the floor. "Omega?"
The omega lifted their head. Lucifer felt his heart quickened. All omegas no matter what, always managed to take his breath away. He thought they were all the most beautiful creatures in the universe.
This omega was no different. Beautiful big doe eyes and a soft sweet scent, he was already starting to purr.
"Hi sweetie- hi-" Lucifer just opened his arms letting the omega come to him. He learned quickly centuries ago that omegas needed to come to him.
The omega whimpered their face pinching again. "Where am i?"
Lucifer's heart broke more. This was always the first question and the hardest.
"You're- you're in hell, sweetheart, now don't panic!"
Lucifer could smell their scent spike and their ears pulling back in fear.
"Easy easy, shhh, it's nothing you did" Lucifer reached and cupped the omega's cheek seeing them try to turn away. "This is not your fault, nothing you did, is why you're here understand me?"
The omega nodded, their eyes somehow getting bigger.
"Are- are you- The omega blinked and Lucifer knew what was coming.
Humans, alphas, always used his and Lilith’s story to frighten young omegas. Using the story of Adam and Lilith to teach the danger of disobeying your alpha. Teaching a scary lesson, don't be like him
"Yes sweetheart, hi- I'm Lucifer-"
Sometimes when he said this the omega got angry, a century ago one even slapped him across the face in anger.
This one just panted, their eyes darting as they processed.
Before Lucifer could say anything else, the omega was tackling him pushing their weight against him and wrapping their arms around his neck.
Lucifer oofed putting a hand behind him so they both didn't topple over, wrapping his other around the omega's waist keeping them secure in his lap.
"Oh- okay, hi there" Lucifer ran his hand down the omegas spine adjusting so he could hold them, the poor thing still having some shakes.
"Easy baby, I got you, I've got you right here."
This is the part Lucifer knew how to do. All omegas even the ones that hated his guts, all felt a strong attachment to him. Maybe their biology knew that he was their creator, or maybe it was another angelic curse.
Lucifer knew he calmed omegas and made them feel safe, without having to hold them down or force submission. Lucifer had a kind of magic about them that omegas submitted to him instantly, sometimes without them even realizing.
This omega was attempting to burrow into his shoulder and neck, trying to get to his scent, pushing their face against his collar and shirt buttons, not seeming to care if they poked or stabbed their face.
"Easy there- easy sweetling,” Lucifer pulled the omega back slightly causing them to whine, but only to remove his jacket just leaving his vest and shirt. The omega reattached and pressed their face right into the crook of Lucifer's neck.
Lucifer let himself relax a little, this one wasn't mad or wasn't trying to claw his eyes out, they just wanted someone to hold them. That he could do.
Lucifer wrapped his arms around them, bringing a hand up to scratch and petting their head, purring deeply in his chest. "That's a good omega- I've got you."
The omega shakes calmed, and their crying had been reduced to little sniffles and hiccups.
Lucifer purred "We can stay here as long as you like my love, "
The omega looked up at him shyly and clung to his vest. "What's gonna happen?"
Lucifer gently reached down and stroked the omega's cheek, running his fingers softly along their skin. "I'm gonna hold you until you want me to stop, then we can get you some food to eat, and after that, you're free to do what you want"
The omega blinked not used to the choices, not used to someone let alone an alpha telling them they can do what they want.
"Whatever I want?" They whispered.
Lucifer gently stroked a finger down the omega's nose, watching their eyes flutter slightly "Whatever you want, after you eat and have a nap."
Lucifer knew from the very beginning, that he was not going to keep every omega he greeted locked up in his palace. Even though that's what everyone told him to do, and it made logical sense. Letting an omega run around the streets of hell to do what they wished was dangerous. But Lucfier stood on the principle that his omegas got to experience the freedom of choice, something they probably never got in their whole human lives.
Not that some omegas didn't stick around. Hell, he had about 16 floors of omegas in his palace that lived in his home rent and worry-free, not wanting to leave.
While Lucider pondered he rubbed his hand up and down the omegas back, not realizing that their breathing had evened out, sleeping soundly in his arms.
Lucifer looked down and crooned, God may hate him but his creations never did. Lucifer purred and snapped his fingers teleporting him and his clinger, to a soft and comfy couch.
Lucifer leaned back letting the omega lay fully on his chest still tucked into his shoulder, and continued to run his hand down their spine. He purred, this is when he didn't feel like such a bad person. Despite his sins, his wife leaving him, and his strained relationship with his daughter. Someone always still felt safe in his arms, felt like he was not terrible, and deserved touch and love.
Lucifer felt his own eyes getting heavy, of course, his own biology couldn't resist the omega and their own calming scent, that mingled with his, making both of them sleepy. Lucifer gently adjusted his arms so if the omega woke up first, they could easily get off of him with no trouble, and summoned a snack platter and some drinks for them to have when they woke up. No matter how much Lucifer loved this feeling. The feeling of holding someone so close and keeping them safe, he would never trap an omega with him, even for a short nap. Lucifer respected his creations too much to hold them back from an afterlife of freedom.
