Lucifer runs forward to embrace his lover but halts to a stop before he can. He looks down at Alastor lying on the floor. Tear-stained face, puffy eyes, body shivering. And right next to the edge. No... NO, he was not going to do that. No, Lucifer would not believe it.

His voice comes out tentatively, "Al... What happened? Are you alright?"

Alastor half nods and half shakes his head, unable to speak. All he could do was keep a smile on his face, it was no longer his signature grin but he would not allow it to leave his face.

Lucifer shakes his head softly and picks up Alastors rumpled coat from the floor. He walks over to his boyfriend and wraps him up before easily picking him up.

The Radio Demon growled threateningly at Lucifer but did not resist, knowing there was nothing he could do in his current state. He did feel rather offended however at being picked up with so effortlessly.

Lucifer carries the deer demon over to a lawn chair that had been placed on the roof, just in case anyone ever wanted to relax while looking over the carnage of hell. He places Alastor down on the chair and takes a seat next to him, wrapping his arms around his lover.

"Al, do you want to talk about this?" The shorter man asked gently, not wanting to push him.

Alastor shook his head, his eyes were no longer teary but now held a look of such intense pain and anguish that it made Lucifer wince. They were the eyes of someone who has seen too much, been through so much torture, but somehow stayed sane. For better or worse.

Alastor lay his head on Lucifer's shoulder, seeming to be exhausted. Lucifer nodded his head before speaking in a gentle tone, "Alright my deer, we'll talk about where you've been and all that when you ready, but for now I just need to know that you're not injured."

The red-haired demon shakes his head reassuringly and speaks in a raspy voice, "I-its alright Luci, I'm alright."

Lucifer rolls his eyes, "I know you're not, but as long as ur not physically hurt, we can talk about this later, when you're ready." He says, brushing a strand of Alastor's hair out of his face.

Alastor nods his head gratefully, his gaze softening slightly as he relaxes against Lucifer's touch. Lucifer smiles as he gazes down at his lover. "Now how about we get you to bed? You seem exhausted, I'll tuck you in and then go tell the others that you're alright, okay?"

Alastor nods and doesn't protest as Lucifer picks him up and teleports them to their room.

The king sets his sleeping deer on the bed and gently pulls the covers over him. Whatever had happened in the past few days, they would discuss later, when Alastor was ready. Then he would help his little demon through whatever was going on. After all, he loved him. Loved him more than anything.

Lucifer gives Alastor a quick kiss on the forehead and gently shuts the door behind him.

Hello!! I hope you enjoyed that short fic, quite a bit of angst for me personally, (I'm not the best at writing that so I say that was a pretty good attempt haha). Also, I'm really sorry if there's any parts that just don't make sense, cuz I was writing this at 2 am in the morning lmfao.

If you enjoyed this make sure to check out my other fics, I have all of these collected in a one-shot series as well. So... enjoy!!

Anyway, have a nice day/night!! 

:D
