Lucifer has always been easily connected. When he met Lilith, he was sure they were meant to be together. Of course, it was wrong after the divorce. After he left, he stuck with it for a while, but eventually she got the courage to continue.
After the battle with Adam and the Exorcists, he moved into the hotel to be closer to his daughter and help her manage. Baran saw the hotel ad on TV and saw Kitty Killjoy covering Adam's death and the cancellation of the massacre.
These two people became close after staying in the hotel for about a week. Their rooms were right next to each other and even when they were sleeping, they would sometimes knock on the wall to tell each other to check their messages. It was like a beautiful and personal signal.
They were only friends for about three months before Lucifer was head over heels for you. It was clearly mutual and everyone around could tell. The only thing separating them was you. You liked him, but for whatever reason, every time he brought it up, you always tried to change the subject.
But when Lucifer finally found himself so in love that he couldn't hold it in, he had to tell you. When he finally worked up the courage to tell you, your response was confused, for lack of better words.
You told him that you need time and you are not ready for a relationship and they asked him to wait and he did. He waited and waited and waited. It's been six months since he asked again and you asked him to wait longer and he did. He waited again. He waited another year. Theo told her that they still need time and she waited another 6 months. Now, the first time he asked, it was two years ago.
The two were sitting alone on a dock with other residents on a camping trip. It felt intimate, and again, you're showing more and more signs of being "ready," so it must be a good time to ask.
You were on your back with your feet dangling in the water and Lucifer was behind you playing with your behavior and smiling.
"Your name", I can't wait forever. I have needs." He frowned and took your hand. "If you're ready, I can't be sure I'll ever be. I love you so much." he had tears in him eyes as he spoke, trying to keep him composure. "It's now or never."
