TW // Menstruation 

Chloe curled into a ball under the covers, willing herself to go back to sleep as she ignored the flashing of my alarm clock.. She knew she should go to work but that was the last place she wanted to be today, besides, Trixie had spent the night at her grandmothers so there was no one who could make her leave the comfort of her bed. It took a while but she eventually managed to fall asleep once more

A couple of hours had passed before she was woken up again by loud knocking on the front door and the sound of something vibrating on her nightstand. With a groan she forced herself out of bed and shuffled downstairs to see who it was. Chloe looked an absolute mess, or at least she though so, but bring herself to care. She opened the door to reveal Lucifer waiting for her anxiously, his eyes filled with worry. Chloe looked up at him in confusion.

"Lucifer? What are you doing here?"

"I came to check you were okay, you never showed up to work and didn't answer my texts. I was worried about you, Detective." 

A weak smile broke across her face as she stepped forward, wrapping her arms around him and drawing him into a hug.

"I'm okay," 

Chloe mumbled into his suit, "I've just got really bad cramps and didn't want to be at work today. You didn't have to come over." He pulled away from her slightly and pressed a light kiss to her forehead, stroking a hand through her hair. Chloe let out a soft sigh at his touch. Lucifer could always make her feel better. Before he could reply, a particularly bad cramp hit her. She gasped, doubling over as she clutched her stomach. When it finally subsided, she looked back up and was met with a look of concern from her boyfriend.

"You're in pain...Come on, let's get you back to bed, I'm looking after you today." Chloe started to protest, he should get to LUX or do whatever else he had for the day, not put everything on hold for her, but she only got a few words out before he lifted her off her feet and carried her bridal style back up to her bed. He set her down gently and pulled the duvet up over her body, hoping to keep her warm and comfortable.

"Have you got painkillers? Chocolate? Ice Cream? What else do you need?"

"Maybe, maybe, no, I need sleep and...um, if you could lay with me? Oh, and a glass of water." Chloe smiled up at him, touched at how he wanted to take care of her.

"Of course, I'll go see what you've got and then I'll go get you some ice cream." He left her room. Chloe listened to the sound of his footsteps retreating down the stairs followed by the sound of cupboards being opened and shut as he searched for food.

A couple of minutes passed and he returned with a glass of water in one hand and painkillers in the other. He set the glass down on the nightstand and sat on the edge of the bed, handing her the pills and waiting for her to take them before throwing the empty packet away.

"You have a serious lack of comfort food in your kitchen and that's the last of your painkillers. I'm gonna go to the shops and get you some stuff. Take a nap, I won't be long." Lucifer leaned down and kissed her sweetly before grabbing his keys and heading out. Chloe could feel her eyelids drooping as the painkillers started to take effect and decided to take Lucifer's advice, falling asleep as she waited for him to come back. 

Chloe woke as the mattress dipped beside her. As she started to become aware of herself once more, she reached out, still mostly asleep, and wrapped her arms around Lucifer, pulling his warmth to her and snuggling into his side. Lucifer wrapped his arm around her shoulders and stroked through her hair as she slowly woke up. He was so worried about her. Sure, he knew it was just her period. She was fine. She wasn't dying or wounded and she would be okay, but he couldn't suppress the panic that filled him every time her sleepy face twisted in pain. 

When sleep's hold on Chloe was finally broken she looked up at Lucifer, who hadn't moved or spoken since he came back. Her breath caught slightly when she saw the look on his face. He looked at her like she was the most precious thing in the world, like she was the only thing that mattered. Of course, to him, she was. 

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Chloe spoke softly, not wanting to break the quiet calm that had settled over the room.

"Because you're beautiful."

"I look like a wreck right now Luce," Chloe spoke through a sleepy laugh.

"You always look perfect to me." He leaned down to kiss her. Admiring the slight blush that had spread arcross her cheeks at the compliment. 

"You feeling any better, my love? I got ice cream and stuff for you if you would like?" Chloe nodded, pain had diminished. She leaned over him to look in the bag of stuff he'd bought for Her. He'd got all her favourite treats and a huge tub of ice cream along with enough tampons and painkillers to last a few years. She chuckled at the overkill but appreciated the effort.

"Thank you, Lucifer. I'll pay you back for all of that." 

"Absolutely not."

Chloe rolled her eyes, then grabbed the ice cream and spoons Lucifer had left on the nightstand before settling back into his side and pulling the covers back over the two of them. They sat eating ice cream and chatting about work and Trixie and other mundane things for a while until the tub was empty. Lucifer got up to dispose of it. Personally, Chloe would have left it somewhere in her room for future her to take care of. He returned a few minutes later with a hot water bottle and a palm pad, the former of which he gave to Chloe and the latter he propped up on his legs when he'd re-joined her under the covers.

"Thought you might want to watch a movie or something. I found that in your bathroom," he pointed at the hot water bottle, "I heard that's meant to help so I filled it up for you." Chloe honestly thought she might just melt into a puddle there and then, Lucifer really had gone above and beyond anything she ever could have asked of him. She couldn't believe how lucky I was to have him.

"Thank you, you didn't have to do this, any of this. I really appreciate it."

"It's nothing, really. You know I'd do anything to make you happy, Detective." Chloe was suprised to feel tears pricking at the corners of her eyes. She chalked it up to the period hormones and gave him a small smile. Unsure how to respond, she reached up a hand to pull him to her in a deep kiss, trying to convey how she felt through it. Chloe's hand was tangled in his hair and his arms had made their way around her waist when she finally broke away to breathe.

"I love you, Lucifer, so much. Thank you for everything." She whispered it against his lips, her eyes still closed, and felt him smile slightly before he kissed her again.

"I love you too," he whispered back when they broke apart once more. Chloe settled back into a more comfortable position beside him, resting her head on his chest as she grabbed the palm pad and searched for a movie to watch. While Lucifer was desperate for Chloe to feel better, hating that she was in pain, he secretly wished they could do that more often. He loved taking care of her. It just felt...right. Like he was exactly where he was supposed to be.
