Bed head

a/n thanks to my wonderful proofreader Meggku

Lucifer walked out of his bathroom, his towel almost falling off his waist to see his boyfriend sitting on his bed. He paused in the doorway and adjusted his towel, bringing it up higher. Diavolo noticed him and looked up from his DDD, a huge smile on his face. He jumped up and ran to Lucifer. "Luci! I was waiting for you. I found this new human world tradition and its really fascinating—"

"Lord Diavolo, may I please put clothes on first?" Diavolo's eyes widened and gave Lucifer one once-over. His eyes froze on Lucifer's abs, Lucifer waved a hand in front of Diavolo's face, snapping him out of his trance. He nodded; the tips of his ears turned red as he looked away.

"How many times have I told you to drop the Lord bit? I'm your boyfriend for pities sake."

Lucifer walked over to where he kept his pyjamas with a chuckle. He pulled out a pair of red and black plaid pants along with a pair of boxers. After slipping them both on he went over to his vanity and grabbed a hairbrush. Diavolo was looking at his phone, trying not to objectify Lucifer. He looked up to see Lucifer brushing his hair and drying it with a towel. He walked over and wrapped his arms around his boyfriend's waist.

"You're welcome."

"For?"

"You didn't want me to wear a shirt, I could tell." Diavolo chuckled and rubbed his hands along Lucifer's abs. They flexed slightly at his touch. Diavolo rested his head on Lucifer's shoulder, making sure not to get in Lucifer's way. He fluffed his hair one last time, "Now, what was that tradition you were talking about?" Diavolo's eyes lit up and he dragged Lucifer over to the bed.

"They hang socks over fireplaces, and some put shoes in front of their bedroom doors!" They pulled the blankets over them and got comfortable. "And when they wake up, there's candy in them. Sometimes little toys!" They were facing each other, and Diavolo reached up to play with Lucifer's hair. He kept talking about how people liked the thought of a fat man breaking into their house, and Lucifer just laid there, listening. He loved it when Diavolo rambled on like this. When Levi talked about is animes, it's annoying and a nuisance, but when his boyfriend explained anythinag and everything, it became the most interesting thing in all 3 realms.

"Your hair is always extra soft after you wash it." The thought came out of nowhere. Diavolo covered his mouth, realising that he was thinking out loud.

Lucifer laughed and shook his head, "That's half the point Diavolo." Lucifer kissed the embarrassed look of his boyfriend's face, "As you were saying?"

"As if I could remember at this point." Diavolo readjusted himself so he was leaning on his elbows. Lucifer looked up, confused. Diavolo picked up Lucifer's head gently and placed it on his lap.

"What are you doing?" Lucifer moved to get up but Diavolo pushed him down. Instead of telling him what he was about to do, Diavolo just hummed and grabbed the comb on the bedside table. He started combing through Lucifer's hair. Lucifer relaxed in response. Diavolo sectioned off his bangs and started to braid. "You know how to braid?"

"Barbatos taught me a couple decades ago. I asked him about it when I saw Asmo's hair one day." Lucifer laughed lightly,

"I remember when he had long hair. He asked me to put it up a few times. He also asked me to help him cut it all off the next day." They both laughed and Diavolo pat Lucifer's head.

"Finished. You want to go look?" Lucifer turned on his side and gently shook his head,

"I trust in your braiding abilities. I'm also entirely too comfortable to get up and look right now." As if to prove his point, Lucifer tugged the blanket around him, cocooning his shoulders. Diavolo moved to lie next to Lucifer, getting under the blanket, too. He tangled their legs together and held Lucifer's hands with his own. With a small whisper of a spell, he turned off the lights and they fell asleep to each other's breathing.

Lucifer opened his eyes the next morning to see Diavolo's golden ones staring back at him. "Good morning, sleepy head." Diavolo moved the braid he made last night out of Lucifer's sight.

"Morning Diavolo. What time is it?" Diavolo reached behind him to grab his DDD.

He chuckled and said, "You slept in rather late, at least for you. It's 5:29."

Lucifer's eyes crinkled when he smiled, "Do you smell anything burning yet?" Diavolo made a show of sniffing the air.

"Not yet, but I think something will be soon if we don't get up." With a sigh they got out of bed and got dressed. Diavolo has stayed over so many times he has a dedicated clothes drawer, as well as enough toiletries to get him ready for the day. Lucifer was about to walk out of his door when Diavolo pointed out his hair. Lucifer looked in the mirror and let out a snicker at what he saw. The braid had stayed in overnight and didn't look half bad. He untied the knot holding it together and undid the braid. However, even after brushing out the kinks, it remained in tight waves and was very frizzy. Lucifer went to grab a product to fix it when he heard a crash downstairs. He rushed out of his room and towards the kitchen.

"What is going on here?" He walked in the doorway to see Mammon laying on top of Beel, who lay on top of a few leftover containers and pans.

"Beel was tryin' to steal my food!" He looked to Beel, who mumbled out a small apology. Lucifer sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"I can't leave you all alone for a minute, can I?" Lucifer turned to go back upstairs but heard giggling in the corner of the kitchen. He looked to see Asmo trying and failing to hold in his laughter.

"What is so funny, Asmo?" The demon then let out a full laugh, Asmo pointed towards Lucifer's head. Lucifer brought a hand to his head and remembered what happened to his hair. "This isn't funny."

"I think it's pretty funny." Diavolo joined in on Asmo's giggling-fest.

"Of course you think this is funny," Lucifer couldn't keep the smile off his face. He walked through the doorway, grabbing Diavolo by the shirt on his way out. Dragging his boyfriend behind him, Lucifer went back to his room to fix his hair.

"You know, it doesn't look half bad."
