RadioApple - A deal I don't regret

~Chapter 3~

TW: Blood, Gore, Angst

"Well isn't this a sight to behold '' Alastor's static filled voice woke Lucifer. He hadn't realized he had fallen back asleep on the floor, in front of the mural of his ex-wife. "What do you want," Lucifer got to his feet, rubbing his red eyes. "You haven't left your room so I thought you might have peeled over and died of pitifulness, sadly I was wrong," Lucifer mocked.

"Well I'm fine, so leave me alone." Lucifer started to walk to his desk. Alastor took Lucifer's arm. "Alastor, let go," Lucifer's voice grew louder. "Did you forget our deal already, I'm thirsty," Alastor's grin grew. Pulling Lucifer close he bit down on his neck. Lucifer let out a yelp of pain, his pain triggering his horns and tail. Alastor, hating the height difference, lifted up Lucifer by his hips, pinning him to the wall for support.

Lucifer wrapped his arms and legs around Alastor. His hands gripped onto his coat in pain. After Alastor felt satisfied, he lifted his bite, and put down Lucifer. "You sadistic fuck," Lucifer hissed holding his neck, his golden blood running down his shoulder. Sitting at his desk, Lucifer sighed in pain. He was still so tired. "Just, go away," Lucifer lets his head fall into his arms, the memories from earlier in the morning flooding through his head. "Now, now, you're never fully dressed without a smile," Alastor said with a tuned voice.

"CAN YOU JUST FUCK OFF IM NOT IN THE MOOD, YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANTED< LEAVE" Lucifer's horns and tail flared from his body. The rise in Lucifer's voice caused Alastor to take a step back. "Well there's some leftover food from the pancakes I made, you're welcome to eat them," And with that he faded back into the shadows.

Not hungry, Lucifer began working on a project he had started the day before Charlie left. He was making ducks based on the hotel residents. He wanted to give them as gifts. He wasn't able to get Alastor out of his head and without realizing he had started making Alastor's duck first. After a few hours at his desk his back started to hurt, so he decided to go for a walk.

Strolling around the hotel he heard some music from the lobby. Making his way he saw Alastor enjoying a drink at the bar humming to the record he had put on. "Why, look who finally came out of their shell." Alator remarked, turning to Lucifer who was in the doorway to the lobby. Lucifer scoffs and rolls his eyes. "Fuck you," Lucifer's clearly annoyed voice rang through the room. Alastor grabbed a glass from behind the counter and poured Lucifer a drink. "It's all just fun and games," Alastor said, handing Lucifer the drink.

Taking the drink, Lucifer sat at the bar. Lucifer downed the first glass like it was nothing. Intrigued by Lucifer's actions he refilled his glass. After 3 glasses Lucifer asked, "Why do you hate me,". The question just slipped. Lucifer wasn't quite drunk, but wasn't thinking clearly either. "Hate is a strong word, I don't hate you, but that doesn't mean you don't piss me off" Alastor pressed his glass to his lips. "I don't hate you either," Lucifer lifted his glass for another refill.

Alator took the glass from Lucifer. Filling it up, he noticed Lucifer start humming to the song.

Alator didn't know what came over him, he grabbed Lucifer's hand setting the gall on the counter. "Alastor I don't wanna do this right now" Lucifer exclaimed thinking Lucifer was going to drink his blood. Alasor pulling Lucifer in said, "Let's dance". Lucifer's eyes widened as he felt Alastors hand clasp his waist taking the lead in a waltz.

At first Lucifer was stiff, he didn't know what had come over Alastor. But as their dance continued from one song to the next, it was almost like they knew what each other we're thinking. "A waltz is the best way to bond with someone you don't understand," Alastor began, breaking their silence. "Matching someone's steps in a dance can help you visualize their view point," their body almost mirrored the others movements. "Your bodies move so alike and you can't help but start to understand them. It also creates a mutual trust, or that could all just be me," Alastor eyes met Lucifer's as the final song ended.

Lucifer's cheeks slightly turned a shade of pink. It was as if he forgot everything from this morning. Like he forgot the day before, like he had forgotten it all. Pulling away from Alastor his head was racing with thoughts of what happened. "Im... Tired, i'm gonna go to bed" Lucifer walked away to his room. Alator cleaned up the bar and headed to his own room for sleep.

Making it to his room, Lucifer went to his desk. His face, now completely red. He couldn't wrap his head around what had just happened, or better yet why he felt like this. It was almost like he had...

Fallen In Love

He couldn't believe it, after all this time. This is the first time he had fallen for anyone other than Lilith. All he could do was stare at the duck he made of Alastor. Replaying the memories of the dance over and over. And he could get the words 'I Don't Hate You' out of his head either. It was driving him wild. He just decided to lay down. Taking the duck of Alastor with him he held onto it, falling asleep within minutes.

The next morning, Alastor had gone down to the kitchen to find a pate of freshly prepared raw deer meat. He grabbed the plate heading to the dining table to see Lucifer reading a book from the hotel's small library. "I thought you found my taste in food repulsive, short stack" Alastor said mocking his shortness and the small stack of pancakes he had made himself.

"Just though, sense i was already awake, i'd make your food for you, it's nothing special, and it's still the grossest thing ever", Lucifer finished the last of his food since he was ¾ of the way done before he got there anyway. "I see, well then thank you," Alastor began to eat. Lucifer bushed before standing up and taking away his plate. He couldn't understand what had come over him. More or less the switch up in Lucifer's personality.

Once Lucifer had gotten back to his room, after cleaning his dish. He began to work on the ducks. Within a few hours he had gotten through 2 ducks, then there was a knock at his door. Opening the door, Alastors voice rang "Care to join me for another night of drinking". Lucifer nodded following Alastor to the Lobby bar.

The night began just as it had before. Alastor being the one to pour the glasses. Though this time Lucifer didn't drink as fast as he did before. They carried out friendly conversation for around an hour before the Alcohol started taking its effect on Lucifer. He slowly got more and more talkative and giggly towards Alastor. "Alright, Your majesty, ima cut you off there," Alastor said, taking Lucifer empty glass. Not aware of himself Lucifer started spilling his thoughts. "You know you're actually, REALLY, attractive for a deer, bambi."

Alastor's static jumped at what he just heard. "I should have cut you off sooner your starting to talk crazy, your maj-" He turned to face Lucifer, just to be met with a kiss. Lucifer had kissed him on the lips. "I'm tired, Lucifer sat on the ground and instantly passed out. "You little shit," Alastor whispered to himself. Alastor was blushing hard, his arm over his mouth. Picking up the sleeping demon king. Alastor carried him back to his room laying him in his bed. Once he had put him down, he walked back to his own room and laid in the darkness. His heart was pumping and he couldn't understand why, why him, why did his first love have to be a loser like Lucifer.
