Why wasn't Dad answering His phone?! There was a reason Lucifer had given Him one! He paced through an empty Lux towards the door, irritated. "Come on, just answer the bloody phone..." He pushed the doors open and stepped onto the street, and--

There Dad was, staring out into traffic like it was either something interesting, or He had something on his mind.

"Oh, there you are. So?" Lucifer inquired, pacing up to him. "Have You read any of the folders I sent You? Or... perhaps considered my proposal to sign You up for a dating site for seniors?"

Dad's attention peeled away slowly from the passing cars, until it finally fell on him. "I did look at your dating site, and your... apps," he said, "But everyone is a few millennia too young for me."

"Right," Lucifer sighed. "Well, there's more ways to find someone. I'll track down a match for You, if it's the last thing I--"

"Lucifer," Dad interrupted. "You're not listening to me. There is and will always be only one woman I will ever love."

He was impossible. Lucifer was fairly certain He was being impossible on purpose, just to vex him. "Fine. Well, if you're going to be stubborn about it, I'll plan a different element of your retirement, then. Have you looked at Fl--"

"Son. I don't need your help," God said firmly.

Just-- argh. "I need to make sure that everything's ready," Lucifer snapped. "Unless-- You'd just like to name Your successor now?" Free them all from this endless purgatory, let Lucifer go back to his life...

"Stop trying to get rid of me," Dad snapped. "All will become clear with time. Now stop talking about my retirement."

Yes, this was going swimmingly. If Duke and Octavia decided they were sick of all this wavering and stalling, well, Lucifer wouldn't blame them one bit if they decided to toss him over the railing and go back home. Ugh.

It was a nice, bright morning in Los Angeles, just a few days before Lucifer's self-imposed ultimatum about leaving ended. He remained on a quest to apologize for his therapist-inflicted overthinking and subsequent attempts to break up with Duke and Octavia, and so, today...

...Today it was time to spoil Octavia with a visit to the Aquarium of the Pacific.

He hummed brightly to himself as he paid for their tickets, then slid past the nice cashier and into the aquarium properly.

It was time.

Lucifer and Amenadiel strode down the steps into the belly of Lux, their expressions determined, their words prepared--

"Are you positive you're ready?" Lucifer said, pausing abruptly to look at his brother.

Amenadiel blinked. "Yeah," he said.

Okay. Good. Lucifer sighed, adjusted his jacket, and pressed on down the next flight of stairs. Ready and willing to do what was necessary. Sometimes something simply needed to be done, and--

"...And you won't back down, no matter what nefarious mind games He tries to play, because we need to present--"

"A united front," Amenadiel droned. "I know. Don't worry, Lucy, we both agree Dad needs to go home."

Right, of course. Lucifer nodded, gestured with both hands, and then pointed onward. To Dad, and difficult conversation. With his older brother at his side, there was no way this could go wrong. No, not at all. He held up his fist, and Amenadiel bumped his gravely.

Together. A united front. Ready for--

"Oh, for-- he was just here!"

Hey! Hi. Have you seen a rather large, attractive gentleman? Broad shoulders, piercing eyes? Heroic face? Looks a little like me? )

Between Duke insisting on sleeping on the couch with him every night, and Octavia's plea several days ago, Lucifer's resolve had finally snapped yesterday night. He'd returned to the bed with them - albeit in his nice silk pajamas.

It still didn't seem right, having sex with them, with him-- as broken as he was.

And so he woke up in the middle of the night, mind still restless, and slipped out of the bed to make himself a drink. Yet as soon as he touched the bar, the impulse vanished, replaced wholesale with another. The piano. It called to him in this strange, overpowering way, and...

He lurched towards it. He sank down on the bench and opened it up. He knew Octavia and Duke were still asleep in the bedroom, that he shouldn't wake them. And yet he couldn't resist.

His fingers found a melody.

"The world was on fire, and no one could save me but you," he sang softly. "It's strange what desires can make foolish people do..."

Yesterday had been... something. And while Lucifer may have managed to find some rest buried under the bodies of both of his partners, when he woke up early the next morning, his mind was back to a whirl of useless thoughts and worse emotions. So when Miss Lopez texted, asking him to come in on a case for old time's sake, he may have jumped at the chance.

Though at least he did tell Duke and Octavia before he went running off this time.

An hour later, he was standing in, of all things, a mini-golf course, watching Miss Lopez take pictures and fend off well-meaning colleagues who were trying to get her to take a vacation. She clearly wasn't doing well under the whole 'my boyfriend's a serial killer' strain, but he admired her dedication to just... puttering on.

Heh.

Of course Miss Lopez wasn't the only one at the scene. )
