Lucifer's Mansion, Sunday Night

[my_own_advocate]

Last week had gone a bit... off-plan. And while they'd tried - and largely succeeded - to clear the air right after, Lucifer still felt tonight's date night required a bit more time spent on the actual 'date' portion, rather than the therapeutic sexcapades.

"You know what we haven't gotten much use out of in here in some time?" Lucifer asked, as he set down his empty dessert bowl, "The living room."

Perhaps it was best to try the cuddling and talking before the heavy stuff, this time.

[[ may go nsfw, so for all your convenience: feel free to say Octavia and Lucifer had date night. nfb beyond that, for that girl. ]]

"Almost remember how this goes," Octavia rasped. Emphasis - in spirit - on the almost.

The second, more careful attempt went better, and she held the joint out for him as she exhaled.

[my_own_advocate]

"Thank you," Lucifer said. He took a deep pull from the joint, closing his eyes as he felt it settle.

[okteiviakom]

Octavia settled more against his side again. Closed her eyes, too.

Just for the moment.

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer took a second drag, and wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

[okteiviakom]

Octavia snuggled into it, her hand finding his on her shoulder. Playing with his fingers a little bit.

Just because it was nice.

[my_own_advocate]

"It's a miracle, really," Lucifer murmured.

[okteiviakom]

"What is?" Octavia wondered, as her fingers pushed between his.

[my_own_advocate]

"This," Lucifer said softly, squeezing her hand.

[okteiviakom]

"Oh," Octavia sighed. Then she nodded, against his shoulder. "I think you're right."

The odds had never been in favor of them ending up here, together, and yet here they were.

[my_own_advocate]

"That we can be here, enjoying each other's presence with so little expectations," Lucifer said softly. "That this can be enough."

[okteiviakom]

Octavia nuzzled at his shoulder.

"Even if this was all it ever was, it would be enough."

[my_own_advocate]

"Yes," Lucifer said. He sagged into her a bit more.

[okteiviakom]

Octavia reciprocated.

"Your skin is warm," she informed him in a fond murmur.

[my_own_advocate]

"So is yours," Lucifer chuckled, pressing a kiss to her cheek. "Mm." He took a third puff, and then held the joint out for her. "Sex is postponed, not cancelled."

[okteiviakom]

"Didn't think it was," Octavia replied as she took the cigarette from him, fingers brushing against fingers. "I promise."

[my_own_advocate]

"Just stating my intentions," Lucifer said, grinning at her. Watching her fingers.

[okteiviakom]

So he got to watch them all the way up to her lips. "Yes, your gentle, romantic intentions," Octavia rasped.

And took a hit.

[my_own_advocate]

"Are you mocking me?"

He sounded amused.

[okteiviakom]

Exhale.

"No, I'm just stating your intentions."

There was something happily smug about that.

[my_own_advocate]

"So you are mocking me," Lucifer said, and now his attention was firmly on her pretty lips.

[okteiviakom]

They curved further into a smile.

"No."

[my_own_advocate]

"What are you doing, then?" Lucifer asked, his own mouth curving right along with hers.

Sap.

[okteiviakom]

"Already told you."

Could the curve go further? It was trying to.

[my_own_advocate]

"Brat," Lucifer said, and kissed her.

[okteiviakom]

That killed off any objections she might have had. Or any lip-licking she might have done.

It was all good: she could lick his, instead.
