my_own_advocateYesterday 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.
[[ for those two and once again taken from Lucifer 5x10! ]]

"Told her that I don't-- have the capacity to make choices from my heart," he mumbled. "But that if I have to choose with the rest of me, if none of you will leave me alone, then the two of you are the only choice."
Re: The Loft, After Dad's Departure
Date: 14 Jul 2021 21:37 (UTC)"Good," was all he said though. "I, for one, am happy with whatever part is doing the choosing."

Look, people didn't always choose her.

Date: 14 Jul 2021 21:51 (UTC)"Oh, don't do that," he said softly, and pressed his lips against her forehead, tightening his arm around Duke.

She'd get a hold of herself in a second here, guys. Promise.
Re: The Loft, After Dad's Departure
Date: 14 Jul 2021 22:16 (UTC)"I just," he mumbled.

Re: The Loft, After Dad's Departure
Date: 14 Jul 2021 22:47 (UTC)It didn't last long.
"Can't go home yet," he mumbled as he broke away, "But I think I'd like to go to bed now."
(To cling to them while he still let himself.)

Re: The Loft, After Dad's Departure
Date: 14 Jul 2021 22:54 (UTC)He brushed her hair aside and kissed her forehead.
"Let's bring the food and deal with everything else tomorrow," he said. "Please."
Let him pretend with what felt like the only real thing he had.

Re: The Loft, After Dad's Departure
Date: 14 Jul 2021 23:09 (UTC)Lucifer's hand wound up on her wrist, and the other on Duke's hip, and as soon as the bags were gathered he trailed as closely to the bedroom as they let him without removing his hands.
Re: The Loft, After Dad's Departure
Date: 14 Jul 2021 23:33 (UTC)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.
