{ Jesus, I'm having bad writers block, but I'm slowly digging out of it. Let's hope it goes away😔 }

........In the morning
-----------------

"DaaAAADD!!" Charlie burst into Lucifer's room, making him sit up quickly and look at Charlie with wide eyes, as if panicked.

When he realized it was just Charlie, he let out a breath "Oh ho. Jeez, Charlie, you startled me!" Lucifer nervously chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. "What do you need, Appleseed?"

Charlie let out a small giggle, "sorry if I had scared you, but I'm just so excited for today! Remember, all of us are supposed to be going out to eat for breakfast!" She squealed in excitement, having a huge smile on her face, which made Lucifer give a soft smile in return.

"Of course, how could I forget." He stretched and hopped out of bed. "I'll let you get ready, while the rest of us will be downstairs. Oh, and before you go downstairs, could you please wake up Alastor?"

Lucifer's eyebrows raised as he looked back at his daughter. "Uhm.. you know he would just probably try to throw me out the window, right? Besides, why should he go." Charlie frowned. "I said everyone is going. So, you go wake him up. Plus, it could be a bonding experience if he comes!" Without another protest, she left the room, a bounce in her step as she started to sing a little tune when she closed the door to her father's room.

"Great.. Now I gotta wake up that cannibalistic deer." Lucifer hissed under his breath, throwing on something to go out in, but that was still comfortable for him.

-

As Lucifer exited his room and closed the door behind him, he headed down the hall to go see if Alastor was awake or not.

Eventually he made it to Alastor's door, with a sigh, he knocked twice and rocked on his feet, waiting for an answer. He heard shuffling, but didn't get an answer. "Alastor! Wake the fuck up!" He yelled loud enough to be heard through the door.

Alastor let out a groan within his room, holding his chest and wincing once he tried to sit up in his bed, not actually getting any sleep. Not like he needed it anyway. But for now, all he needed sleep was to heal the large wound on his chest.

Lucifer, muttered under his breath and kicked the door opened, his brows scrunched together as he eyed Alastor. He notices that he wasn't in the usual attire, making Lucifer's eyes widen in surprise as he walked over towards him.

"Get away." The deer growled through clenched teeth, his smile wavering. "And, why should I exactly?" He raised a brow, a small frown on his lips, "you're fucking BLEEDING out, right now!" Scoffing, he laid a hand near the wound, making Alastor's ruby eyes over flick at him with hostility and pain.

Alastor let out a static like growl, and grabbed Lucifer's wrist with a tight grip. "I said, get the hell off!" And with another hiss of pain, he threw Lucifer's hand off of him, rolling on his side while Lucifer looked at him with a little bit of shock. It wasn't like Alastor to curse.

"Damn, you must really be in pain if you're cursing." He chuckled and invited himself on the bed, gently sitting on it. "Charlie told me to come and get you, but since you want to be a piss baby, and not let me do anything about this shit ass wound, then I guess I should just let her know that you'd rather stay here," He hummed, having a smirk, "then she would probably be disappointed~"

With that, Alastor turned over and glared at him, his eyes narrowed and a forced lip-closed smile on his face. "So, are you going to let me help you?" Lucifer tilted his head. "That entirely depends, how are you going to fix it?" "You'll see!" Lucifer placed a hand near his wound once again, then closed his eyes to focus on healing it, but since it was an angelic wound, and it was big, it would most definitely suck up most of his powers for the day, so he decided to half heal it.

"Does that feel a bit better- not that I care, just don't want you dying on us once we head out to eat." Lucifer asked, still looking at the half healed wound. "A bit, I suppose. But, it's only half way healed I see." Alastor's ear flicked, also looking at the wound on his chest. "That's because I don't want this tacky wound to suck up most of my power, just because it's an angelic wound. Though it's healed enough for it to stop bleeding. But, any sudden or stupid move will make. It. Open. Again." Lucifer crossed his arms, his sharp eyes now looking at Alastor's face, analyzing it a little.

Alastor let out a little hum, his voice being thickly laced with static. "Well then, be a dear and get out, will you?" He murmured, slowly sitting up with little pain. Lucifer's eyes widened, and he awkwardly nodded, "right.." and with that, he left, rubbing the back of his neck as he headed down to the main floor.

Within a few moments, he was at the main floor, seeing Husker doing his regular shit at drinking, Angel flirting with him, while Charlie and Vaggie were on the couch, discussing important needs for the hotel to thrive, even if it didn't work.

Lucifer sighed, lazily walking over to the loveseat and sat down with a flop, his eyes halfway opened.

Charlie noticed him within seconds and smiled brightly at him "Dad! Did you go get Alastor? Where is he?" She questioned, making Lucifer give a small smile to her, "he's getting ready, I believe." He murmured, leaning more heavily into the loveseat.

Speak of the 'devil', Alastor was now walking over towards them, humming some random tune that sounded like a Jazz song.

"Why, what a lovely day in hell, isn't it?"

Lucifer scoffed and ignored him, while closing his eyes. "Alastor, there you are!" Charlie exclaimed happily, and bounced on the ball of her foot while standing in front of Alastor, blabbering about how excited she is to go out and eat breakfast with everyone.

Alastor let out a little chuckle, and patted Charlie on the head. "Why yes, that sounds exciting, and not like I would forget your plans for today my dear." He hummed, twirling his cane in his hand, before placing it back on the ground, leaning against it. "I know right! This is going to be the best day ever!!!" Charlie twirled, then stopped midway. "But you and dad have to promise me something."

That made Lucifer perk up in his seat, his eyes opening as he looked at the two. "What-" "Sure thing, dear. What is needed of us?" Alastor cut Lucifer off, side glancing him. His grin gave way to a mocking smirk before he looked back at Charlie.

"You two have to stand each other the whole day, and have no arguments, and no form of excuses are made." Charlie concluded, her tone becoming more stern as she eyed them, intertwining her hands together.

Lucifer gritted his teeth together, and glanced up at Alastor for a moment, before looking back at his daughter. Heaving a great sigh, he mustered up the strength to sit up in the chair. "Fine." He muttered. Alastor's ears perked up in surprise as he looked down at Lucifer, and folded his arms behind his back. "Wasn't expecting that, but.. is that a deal?~" "Not one bit." Lucifer growled, then collected himself, inhaling the musty smell of the hotel.

Charlie smiled at them, "great! Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go talk to Vaggie about something!" She muttered in an excited tone.

A few minutes passed as Alastor just stood there, and Lucifer looking up at the ceiling, sitting in the comfy chair while simply thinking on how this day will go...
