“I wanna see Unca Allie,” Charlie said as she was tucked into bed. Lucifer chuckled softly and kissed her forehead as he petted her hair.
“Not tonight, honey,” Lucifer cooed. “Maybe some other time.” He was hesitant to go back to Alastor, even if it was for Charlie. The last thing he wanted was to see him after all they’d gone through.
“Morrow?” Charlie asked hopefully.
“We’ll see,” Lucifer reassured. “Go to sleep, sweetie.”
"Story!” Charlie demanded. “Unca Allie tells stories!”
“Does he?” Lucifer sat down beside her, petting her hair a bit more. “Hm…” He thought about it and waved his hand to create a small scene. “Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess named Charlie. She was kind to every creature that she met.” He made a small princess out of stars that twirled and greeted all the animals that came to her. “One day, she met a-“
“A deer!” Charlie squealed.
“Alright, she met a deer,” Lucifer said, adding the creature to the scene. “The deer was very sad because one of his antlers was broken. The princess, being as kind as she was, had to help the deer feel better. She tore some of her dress and wrapped it over the cracked antler before kissing it softly. The deer scurried off into the trees.” Charlie nuzzled into him as she watched the story he told. “One day, the princess went to the forest as she always did. She spent all day with the animals and flowers. When it grew dark, she tried to find her way home, but she couldn’t. She was scared and alone as darkness swallowed everything around her.”
“Oh, no,” Charlie whined out.
“But, a warm glow came from the trees and approached her. It was the deer she had helped. His antler had healed, revealing him to be a magical deer. He remembered her kindness and he led her out of the dark forest to the safety of her castle. From that day forward, she would go to the forest until nightfall, and she would be led back by the deer each time. They became the closest friends and lived happily ever after.”
“Yay!” Charlie said happily. Lucifer moved off the bed and made sure she was comfortable, kissing her cheek. “Night-night, Daddy.”
“Good night, Charlie,” Lucifer cooed. He turned off the lamp on the nightstand and quietly slipped out of the room. He perked up when Lilith approached him suddenly. “She’s sleeping, Lil.”
“Good,” Lilith nodded. “She’s been wanting to spend more time with you lately, Lucifer.”
“Well, maybe it’s time I started being more of a dad,” Lucifer shrugged. Lilith frowned. “Please don’t take her away from me.”
“Lucifer,” Lilith began.
“Please,” Lucifer said again. “She’s my only daughter, Lilith. I don’t want to lose her.”
“You’ll fill her head with ideas,” Lilith scolded. “I don’t want her to think that she can do whatever she wants with no consequences.” She looked at Lucifer. “You already brought both of us down. You can’t do that to her, I won’t allow it.”
“You will never forgive me, will you?” Lucifer asked in disbelief. “You will always blame me for us ending up in Hell. I took away Eden. I took away Heaven. All I do is take according to you.”
“I’m not going to argue with you,” Lilith insisted. She turned to leave.
“At least I’m here for her,” Lucifer said suddenly. Lilith tensed at that. “You run all over Hell. And you only come back to take her away from me. I’m actually here to spend time with her.” Lilith spun around, backhanding him without warning. Lucifer stumbled a little and looked at her, clearly shocked. She huffed and walked off angrily. Lucifer rubbed his face a little, lingering in the hallway. He frowned as he made a portal, staring at it for a few seconds. He waved it away and shook his head. He leaned against the wall and made another portal after a moment, looking at it fondly. He looked at the door to Charlie’s room and then at the portal.
“Fuck it,” he said to himself.
Alastor put a glass of whiskey in Lucifer’s hands before he sat down on the porch with him. He picked up his own glass and sipped from it before he looked at Lucifer, seeing his reddened cheek. He reached over and touched it, making Lucifer winced a little as he pulled away.
“What did you say to get that?” Alastor asked curiously.
“None of your business,” Lucifer stated as he drank from his glass. “And this isn’t me coming back to you either. I just wanted a drink.”
“And you can’t conjure your own?” Alastor questioned, tilting his head. Lucifer didn’t answer. “Did you mean what you said about bringing Charlie around some time?”
“Not really, but she’s been asking about you,” Lucifer admitted. “So…maybe tomorrow. Maybe the day after. If Lilith lets me near her.” He took another drink and moved the glass in his hands.
“Lu, why did you come here?” Alastor asked suddenly. “And don’t tell me it’s about having a drink or talking. What really brought you here?” Lucifer let out a shaky breath and shrugged a little. “Tell me, Luci.”
“My wife thinks I’m going to bring Charlie down like I did to me and her,” Lucifer explained. “I told her that at least I’m here for Charlie while she runs around Hell. She hit me. And…I came here.”
“I’d have hit you too,” Alastor said as he sipped from his glass. Lucifer raised an eyebrow. “You don’t tell a mother that you’re the better parent. You just don’t. If anybody had told my mother that, she’d have smacked them good.”
“So, I have to apologize, which I knew,” Lucifer said softly. “Fuck…” He emptied his glass and held it out for a refill. Alastor chuckled and took the glass while he held his own. He hummed and gestured for Lucifer to come with. The fallen angel came along as he went into the sitting room. He put the glasses down on the coffee table and smiled to himself.
“Do you mind if I kiss you?” Alastor asked curiously.
“Yes,” Lucifer stated. “And no.” Alastor looked at him, raising his eyebrow. “I don’t know.” Alastor gestured for Lucifer to come close to him. Lucifer walked over and let out a soft breath. Alastor leaned towards him, lips brushing together without kissing him.
“If you say no, I won’t,” Alastor reassured. “And if you say yes, I’ll do it happily.”
“I don’t know,” Lucifer repeated. He let out a shaky breath from the closeness between them. He put his hands on Alastor’s biceps as he fluttered his eyes. Alastor slowly started to pull back. Lucifer immediately put his hand on the back of Alastor’s neck and tugged him close, kissing him without warning. Alastor let out a breath as he held Lucifer’s waist with one hand while the other went to his reddened cheek, fingers touching it gently. Lucifer broke the kiss and put his hands on Alastor’s chest, but he didn’t push him away.
“Breathe,” Alastor encouraged. Lucifer did his best to breathe steadily as he closed his eyes. “You don’t have to stay, Lu. I won’t make you.”
“I want to,” Lucifer said gently. He opened his eyes and looked at Alastor. “I want to stay with you. And a part of me hates that because of how much you hurt me. I hate that you hurt me. I hate you for saying that you don’t love me. I hate you for not loving me.”
“You can hate me,” Alastor reassured. “It’s okay to hate me.”
“But the rest of me loves you,” Lucifer added. “The rest of me wants to be with you despite all that. I don’t care that you don’t love me. Because I just want to be with you anyway. I want to be with you even if you never love me. Isn’t that sad?”
“Lu,” Alastor cooed.
“I don’t think I deserve love, Alastor,” Lucifer admitted suddenly. “Lil doesn’t love me. You don’t love me. Maybe I’m just not meant to have love. Maybe my place is to give, not to receive.”
“Don’t ever talk like that,” Alastor scolded, his voice soft. “You deserve to be loved. You deserve to be loved the same way you love.” He smiled at him. “You deserve someone who will be crazy about you, someone who will love you like you’ve never been loved before.” Lucifer flexed his fingers lightly against Alastor’s chest. “I don’t know if I can do that, Lu. But…”
“But?” Lucifer tilted his head.
“But I want to try,” Alastor breathed out. “Would you let me try?” Lucifer nodded. “Tell me. Tell me you want me to try.”
“I want you to try to love me, Alastor,” Lucifer said before he pecked Alastor’s lips. “Please, love me. Love me the way only you can.” He pecked his lips again before kissing him fully. Alastor smiled more against his lips. Lucifer slowly wrapped his arms around Alastor, letting out a soft noise. Alastor wrapped his arms around Lucifer’s waist and held him close, tugging him towards the couch. He fell on it after a moment, breaking the kiss and letting out a breath. Lucifer slipped his shirt off and threw it to the floor before he got on Alastor’s lap, kissing him deeply. Alastor ran his hands over Lucifer’s bare chest as he hummed gently. He was slow as he let his hands run over Lucifer’s warm skin, feeling each little tremble or movement he made. Lucifer broke the kiss and moved his hands over Alastor’s chest, tugging the buttons of his shirt free before he pushed it open and felt his skin. He slowly leaned down and kissed over Alastor’s chest. Alastor leaned his head back as he relished in the feeling of just being with Lucifer again. He made his way up to Alastor’s lips, panting softly against them as he ran his hands through his curls. Alastor slowly undid Lucifer’s pants before unfastening his own. He moved to pull his shirt off completely. Lucifer adjusted on Alastor lap and rolled his hips against him with a soft mewl. Alastor gave him a nod as he kissed him again. Lucifer moved his hips steadily against Alastor’s. He felt Alastor’s tongue against his lips and slid his tongue to meet it. They pushed their tongues together while rutting against one another steadily. Alastor hadn’t even realized he was moving his hips at first, groaning in Lucifer’s mouth. The fallen angel moaned softly as he moved his hips in little circles. He broke the kiss and leaned his head back with a blissful breath. Alastor leaned close and mouthed over Lucifer’s throat with a low hum.
“Alastor,” Lucifer moaned softly. “Alastor, would you bite me?” Alastor perked up slightly and pulled back to look at him. “I want you to.” Alastor nodded and mouthed over his throat again before biting at it. Lucifer shivered as he gasped out a moan. Alastor bit down just hard enough to break the skin, lapping at the golden blood that slowly dripped out. He pulled back and gripped Lucifer’s hips to make him stop moving. He held him tightly as he stood up, carrying him into the bedroom. He laid him on the bed and pulled his pants and underwear off, throwing them out of the way. He stripped off his own before he moved over Lucifer and kissed his neck deeply. Lucifer let his hands rest above his head as he moaned breathlessly. Alastor licked over the bite on his throat before he sat between his legs. Lucifer perked up and quickly conjured a bottle of oil for the two of them. Alastor took the bottle and poured some onto his fingers before he touched Lucifer’s entrance. The fallen angel moved his legs apart as he let out a shaky mewl. Alastor was gentle as he slid both fingers in at the same time, feeling how Lucifer naturally clenched around them.
“Relax yourself,” Alastor encouraged with a husky breath. He slid his fingers deep inside and angled them before moving them steadily. Lucifer let out a moan, arching his back off the bed. He gripped the sheets above his head and slowly started moving his hips to match Alastor’s pace.
“Alastor, I can’t stand it,” Lucifer breathed out. “I need you. I want you inside me.” Alastor pulled his fingers free and immediately grabbed the oil again. He poured a generous amount into his hand and stroked his aching cock with a blissful groan. He coated it as well as he could before he slowly lined himiself up and pushed into him. He let himiself be fully sheathed, looming over Lucifer as he put his hands on either side of his head. He panted harshly from the feeling of being connected with him again. He leaned down and kissed him deeply. Lucifer reached up and held Alastor’s shoulders as he wrapped his legs around his waist. Alastor started to slowly thrust into Lucifer as he moaned into his mouth. Lucifer broke the kiss and moaned out as he dug his fingers into Alastor’s shoulders.
“Oh, Lu, I’ve missed you so much,” Alastor said breathlessly. “I’ve missed how you feel. I’ve missed how you sound.” He tangled his hands in Lucifer’s hair as he licked at his lips, occasionally meeting his tongue. Lucifer bucked his hips against Alastor’s as his toes curled. He perked up when Alastor stopped moving and pulled out of him, whining in protest. Alastor sat on the bed and pulled Lucifer into his lap, having him sink down on his cock before he guided him to rock his hips.
“Alastor, I need you,” Lucifer moaned shakily. “Oh, fuck, I need you more than you know.”
“You have me,” Alastor groaned. “I’m yours, Luci.” His breath hitched before he moaned deeply as he thrusted up each time Lucifer rocked his hips against him. Lucifer let out a high-pitched moan as he moved his hips faster when he started coming on Alastor’s stomach, clenching around his cock greedily. Alastor snapped his hips up a couple of times as he came as well, emptying himself in Lucifer with a blissful moan. He buried his face against Lucifer’s neck as he panted, shivering from the intensity of the orgasm. Lucifer rested his face against Alastor’s curls as he closed his eyes.
“I love you,” Lucifer breathed out. Alastor tensed slightly. “You don’t have to say it back, Alastor. But I love you.” He kissed the top of Alastor’s head a couple of times. Alastor smiled and kissed at Lucifer’s neck slightly.
“Someday, I’ll say it back,” Alastor promised.
