//Lucifer's POV//

"Hey sweetheart, wake up." I say to Michael. He furrowed his eyebrows, as he hums. "Wake up, sweetheart." Michael turns so he's facing outward, I smile at him.

"Hey, oh shoot your therapy appointment." he says and I smile more with a little giggle. "What?" he asks, a giggle slipping out as well.

"It was rescheduled for tomorrow, remember?"

"Nope, when did you tell me?"

"Like three hours ago. You napped hard didn't you?" he nods, I smile. "Are you waking up in the middle of the night?" he shrugs.

"I struggle to sleep sometimes even with you. It seems like I should be doing something constantly so I'll wake up. I was able to do two outlines and find credible articles for them as well for my next essays."

"Sweetheart, you need to sleep too, you know?"

"Yeah, I know. I do, I just did." he chuckles giving me a shit eating grin, I shake my head while smiling.

"Well, I'm going to go and check on Samandriel, but I thought I should wake you first."

"What were you doing while I was napping?"

"I was talking to Adam, he's doing another project for you so you can't go in his room. Then I was drawing while watching Perks of Being a Wallflower, upstairs in the living room which is where my sketchbook is if you wanna look through it."

"Okay, I will." I nod, I was going to walk away, "wait." I stop and turn back around, he's getting up. He hooks his fingers into my belt loops then pulls me to him. I kiss him and he smiles into the kiss. "I love you."

"I love you." I kiss his forehead. Mike gives me a quick kiss then lets me go. I walk upstairs to be met with Samandriel and Adam. "hi." I say with a confused look.

"Anyway, that's why I said what I said, I thought it'd be easier to hurt you than to admit my feelings and sexuality too." Adam says and I raise my eyebrows, why are they discussing this in the middle of the hall.

"I still don't understand why you would do that, when I'm your literal best friend, I was honest with you about my sexuality and my stupid crush." Adam kind of winces at 'stupid crush' then nods.

"I never knew how to communicate or listen, which isn't an excuse. I'm sorry Samandriel, I really am."

"I accept your apology, I still think you're an idiot and I'm still mad at you, but I missed you." I smile, these two are dysfunctional. "I think though next time you should just tell me to shut up."

"Noted, I will." Adam laughs.

"So?" I ask, they give each other a look then nods, then hugs.

"We're good?" Adam asks, Samandriel looks at him, as they're still hugging.

"Yeah, we're good." they break apart.

"Good because you two were so mopey dopey, I'm the one with mental illness I should be the only mopey one." I laugh and the two shake their heads.

"Luce, how many times do I have to tell you to not make fun of yourself even if it's Rough Lucifer you're making fun of?"

"You two little shits would've laughed if Mike wasn't standing there."

"That's beside the point." Adam says and I sigh.

"Okay, whatever, it's still funny." I huff, the three shake their heads. "Why don't you two just run along." I wave my hands and they laugh. They go upstairs to Adam's room, I turn to Mikey giving him a smile and he sighs, shakes his head, then smiles.
