"Because your parents fucked up," Duke said simply. He tipped his head up to kiss Lucifer again, softly on the forehead. Like a benediction. "They never showed you what love is, so you don't know how to recognize it. All you've got is movies and TV and they're liars." He rested his forehead on Lucifer's, watching him from up close. "Trust me, Luce. I'm still learning, but I've been where you are right now. It's terrifying. But I think, maybe . . . that's what makes it better, in the end."
