You're More then just a Demon (RadioApple)

The Stairs

(TW)

~Lucifer POV~

I slowly shut the door behind me so it doesn't make a noise when I close it. I don't know how light of a sleeper he is; I would imagine he is a pretty light one. I walk downstairs and sit with everyone in the common room. I sit on the couch next to Husk. "Sooooooo? Did it work? Is he asleep??" I look over to see Charlie bouncing with joy and excitement, hoping he's asleep. I smile. "He sure is. Charlie squeals with joy. "Our plan worked; he's asleep! Okay, now to make sure he keeps to the sleeping schedule, we need to make sure we really show how proud of him we are that he's sleeping and taking care of himself!" She goes on about the different things they can say and do, but I zone out.

All I can think about is what Alastor looked like without his signature smile; the image is burned in my head. I have never seen him so peaceful. When he's awake, he's always a dick, calling me names and pushing my buttons to get a raise out of me, and it works every time. I don't know how he can be so stupidly annoying, but I will get him back. I don't know why I am so passionate about getting him back. Pride? I'm going to go with that.

Husker yawned and got up. "I'm going to bed," he mumbled as he walked to his room. Angel giggled, following behind him. 'I'm pretty sure they are a thing? That would be so cute, honestly.' Charlie and Vaggie follow as well, saying good night to me, and Nifty walks up to me smiling. "Hello, Nifty, is everything okay?" Nifty stares at me silently. I don't know what to do, so I just stare back. She blinks and hugs my leg. "Thanks for getting him to sleep!" then she sprints off. I smiled and let out a small huff of laughter out of my nose. "That girl is crazy, but she really cares about that demon." I speak out loud to myself as I stretch and stand up, "Bed time, bed time."

I decided to check on Alastor before heading to bed. I very slowly open the door and tip-toe my way to the side of his bed that he's lying on. He's facing the outside of the bed, his ears flat back against his head, and a tuft of hair is covering one of his eyes. I look at his mouth—no smile, not frowning either, just emotionless—as it slowly opens and closes ever so slightly with every inhale and exhale he does. His breathing is so soft and slow. 'Why am I standing here, staring at the radio demon studding everything about him right now?? It's like I'm going to be questioned on how many details I can remember; this is fucking creepy. I need to stop.' I slowly back away, and suddenly the floor creaks way louder than a floor board should. I look down, then at Alastor, panicking, 'I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die.'

Alastor is small; he frowns for a second, then turns over to the other side, so he's facing away from me. I'm holding my breath, scared to even blink. After what feels like hours but was only about 2 minutes and Alastor doesn't wake up and kill me, I start to slowly back out again until I see it—the perfect way to make Alastor pissed and the best teasing topic ever. Right in front of my eyes is a small, black and red, fluffy tail. I cover my mouth and leave. 'HE HAS A TAIL NO WONDER HE WEARS SUCH A LONG SHIRT HE'S COVERING IT UP' i giggle to myself as i go to my room thinking of all the jokes i want to make, wondering if everyone else knows or just me. I get ready for bed, finally taking a shower, burning my clothes, and laying down in bed. Honestly, I'm still scared of what will happen tomorrow. Will Alastor be mad that I wrestled with him? Will he try to kill me? Will he be in a better mood than normal because he actually slept for once? Maybe that's why he's such a dick—no sleep?? I feel myself dozing off until I'm completely asleep.

~Alastor POV~

I slowly wake up, realizing I actually fell asleep. It takes me a second to ground myself and hear the knocking on my door. "One moment, please." I get up, fix my hair and ears, and put my signature smile back on my face. I opened the door to see Lucifer. Of any people to be at my door, it's him; of course, it's him' he says, narrowing my eyes. "Ah, yes, the man who forced me to wrestle him in the middle of a street. What do I owe the displeasure of seeing you face again?" I tilt my head to the side, my smile narrow and big. Lucifer frowns and crosses his arms. "Well, because of me, you actually slept, so fuck you, and breakfast is ready, so come eat." I sigh and make sure my clothes look perfect. I didn't change into pajamas because I don't own any, so I slept in my normal attire. I follow Lucifer to the elevator, but it is out of order. He both signs and walks down the stairs.
