Lucifer's Loft, Los Angeles, Saturday

Yesterday had been a still being played out day full of musical numbers and Dad and a woman murdering her judgemental referee husband for entirely understandable reasons. Lucifer had gone to bed entirely wiped, tired, too exhausted to remember he shouldn't be naked with Duke and Octavia.

He was still in that bed, sleeping more comfortably than he had in a week.

Unaware of the man hovering by the edge of the bed with a large tray full of breakfast foods in his hands.

And Octavia had been having such a nice time, too. Or at least she'd been all curled up against Lucifer - what, like he could avoid the middle spot when things were the way they were? - and taking some comfort from the skin-to-skin contact in her sleep.

She would've startled awake from much less than that loud greeting, and so her eyes flew open. And fixed, after a second of blurry vision, on -- God. Again.

"Was I not clear the first time? Get out!"

God smiled at all of them, and lifted his tray. "I brought you breakfast," he said. "Don't be so dramatic. I mean, if I had a nickel for every time I’ve seen a naked body in this room..."

He glanced towards the living roon, "... in this bed, on the couch, on that desk, on the banister, on the floor, on the piano--"

Lucifer squawked.

Octavia didn't give a damn about how naked anyone was right now, or where such nakedness had taken place before.

Which explained the complete lack of an effort to cover anything up as she veered up with that all-too familiar fire in her eyes.

"No one wants you here. Get out."

bBecause that had worked so well the first time.

“Your dad’s not great at boundaries,” Duke mumbled to Lucifer. And rolled over to grope for his pants because he might like naked time as much as the next guy, but not in front of his boyfriend’s dad.

(Usually getting woken up naked in bed by a sexual partner’s parents involved a lot more screaming, actually. This was quieter, but way creepier.)

Her rage still didn't manage to wipe that smile off of God's face, no, but points for trying. "But I made your favorite," He said, pushing a fruit salad bowl with a drizzle and flakes of some kind on top of it closer towards her on the tray.

Octavia looked like she was this close to smacking the bowl off the tray and onto the floor.

(Even though it looked good.)

(... Really good.)

"I don't care."

She turned, slowly, to look for her clothes.

"I really hope so," Octavia muttered, still looking off to where Lucifer had gone.

"But that's assuming his dad goes." Optimism had become increasingly hard for her, over the last couple of days.

God took the mug, and brought it to His mouth. He smelled it.

There was a wrinkle there, just between His eyebrows. It did not spell good news.

He took a sip of the coffee. Lowered the mug. Leaned over and spat out that mouthful of coffee into the sink.

"Hm."

Re: Bedroom

Octavia took the cup, and though this time the way her fingers bumped against his was purely accidental, it was still -- something.

She took a long, deliberate sip.

And said, "It's great coffee."

As her partners knew, she did not actually discriminate much when it came to her coffee. But this wasn't about that.
betterthanaplan: (you know how it is)

Re: Bedroom

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2021-07-13 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Duke would totally have supported Lucifer's coffee.

hismysteriousways: (dad - i'm listening)

Re: Bedroom

[personal profile] hismysteriousways 2021-07-14 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
Look, Duke actually had a sophisticated palate, and Dad was increasingly making Lucifer insecure, here.

"It was fine," God said. He put the filter back down as soon as He noticed the French press. And went silent as He busied around making His own coffee.

"I picked this up from Bolivia this morning," God said conversationally. "Single source, organic."

He bustled around for a few mugs and poured fresh coffee into them.

"A wonderful farmer, aptly named Jesús. He had this unique roasting method."

He held a mug out for any one of them to take.

Re: Bedroom

Octavia said nothing, but sipped very deliberately from her cup.

It was either that or flinging the contents at God, and even she knew better than to do that.

At least right now.

Re: Bedroom

"Really good," God said, his voice warm and thoughtful as he strode into the room. (At least He'd left the bloody sweater at home, not that His light blue long-sleeved shirt was much of an improvement.) "I took your advice and went to see Amenadiel. He's going to be a wonderful father."

"Sama--" God started.

No.

He watched Lucifer turn around, something wary and sharp and yet tired in his son's eyes.

"I want to," He tried again. "...Know what you've done to your suit."

Duke was carrying their actual dinner. Octavia... was carrying a store-bought cake in one of those funny plastic domes. It had just seemed like a time for cake, maybe.

She rarely got urges like that, so she tended to follow them.

The bad feeling she was getting right now was much more familiar, though. "Lucifer?"

"Hey." This was a significant mood change from when they left. He moved to wrap an arm around Lucifer's waist and kiss his cheek hello. "What's up, babe?"

Octavia didn't need to reiterate the question.

She'd never seen him like this before. It was... a little terrifying.

"That's. . . ." Duke trailed of. He didn't have any words for how phenomenally terrifying the implications of that for Lucifer's world was.

(Lucifer's world, which had at least a certain metaphysical crossover with his own, since people from Haven had run into Lucifer in Hell. . . .)

So he just leaned into Lucifer again. Leaned his head against his. Tried to think of what they could possibly do about God losing control of his godliness.

And Duke was going to go out on a limb. Take advantage of Lucifer not pushing them away to say something he'd wanted to for awhile now.

"You're not getting rid of us," he said softly. "Whatever happens. With your dad. With -- with Chloe. With you."

"Bed," Duke agreed. "Want us to bring the food along? Or we can save it for the morning."

"I brought cake," Octavia muttered, somewhere by Lucifer's cheek.

She hadn't meant to take credit. Had wanted it to seem like the cake had just happened.

"Good." Duke gave him an extra squeeze, then slowly pulled away, letting his hand linger on Lucifer as long as possible even as he started gathering up the dinner bags again. "We'll have dinner and cake in bed. Anything else will happen when it happens."

Octavia had been slower about joining them, and now she was slower to pull away, too.

But at least it freed up her hands for wiping at her eyes, when she did.

As closely as they let him? Octavia would have let him carry her if he'd tried. Hell, might even have tried to carry him.

Yes, he could be as close as he wanted to.

And once they got all their food settled on the bed, and themselves, Octavia was going right back to crowding his space.

When you gave her a chance, she took it.
