Saving Lucifer

Furious Gabe

This chapter is rated for mature readers. No explicit sexual details but it's quite heated.

The day came and went, it's dark out now. The kids both wanted to sleep. I assumed they sleep so they can play in their dream worlds. Our abilities to dream walk blows my mind sometimes. Sometimes I sit and reflect on what I can do and why I don't use my grace or powers more than I do. It's not that I'm afraid of them or don't appreciate them. I just want to have a normal life, do things normally. It gives me a sense of stability.

Back on the porch swing with a cup of coffee in my hand, I sip at it as I skim over the tree line. Seeing a small cloud of dust poof up in the driveaway a good distance away, I stood, setting my coffee on the railing, bracing myself for whatever was walking up my driveway.

"Luce?" I called out.

"It's me, don't attack." I could hear him chuckle.

Castiel's chuckle. How I missed hearing that. Our pull is so strong now, I should probably call Gabriel down here. He tells me that when a bonded angel couple is away from one another for a long period, their grace will begin trying to pull them back together. Causing extreme desire, enhancing their feelings for one another so they go back to one another. Because, bonded angels are stronger together than apart.

Watching the dust die down and only kick up at the footsteps, I turned my back and reached for my coffee.

I'm glad you're back safe. The kids are sleeping. I'm going to go for a while if you don't mind sitting with them?

-Uh, sure. I mean, I don't mind at all but give me a minute. I need to speak with you.

Curiosity getting the best of me, I turn around facing Lucifer, now close enough to see clearly. He looks unscathed, not that I was worried about him fighting or anything. We just won't tell him that.

"What's up, Luce? Whatever you were doing go ok?"

He smiles. There's something different in his eyes. It makes my heart race, my breath catch, and my stomach feels like there are butterflies in it. Shaking the thoughts, I clear my throat and shift on my feet.

"Everything ok?" he asks as he reaches me.

He's standing on the bottom step looking up at me. Castiel's eyes are shining so blue, so bright, even under the night sky. Holding my breath, I try pushing the pulling down. Fighting against it.

"Luce, I-I've got to go." I stutter feeling the heat growing within me.

He reaches out touching my arm, it instantly begins to tingly underneath his touch sending electricity throughout my entire body. Gasping, I yank away, turning to walk away.

"Angel."

I stop dead in my tracks. Lucifer doesn't say my name like that. Not with that type of love behind the voice. Slowly turning around, eyes wide and hopeful, I swallow the lump rising in my throat.

"Cas?" I ask feeling my chest tighten, my heart race, and every bit of my grace reaching out for him, pulling me towards him.

"Hey." He says softly, smiling.

"Cas!" I'm in his arms with one leap, knocking him off balance forcing him to stumble backward.

His lips are on mine before we are steady on our feet. My fingers in his hair, tears falling down my cheeks as we stumble around trying to find balance.

Chuckling, he pulls away from me. I breathe in trying to catch my breath, staring at the man in front of me.

"Cas!" I exclaim again. "What? How?" I look around, looking for another person walking around. "Where's Lucifer?"
