The Doe Demon

Chapter 17: The Flare

Lucifer huffed as he followed Adam from the room, they went to the kitchen as Lucifer hummed quietly in thought, he knew what he had smelled when they left, but he knew he wouldn't barge in, even if he was a part of the relationship, he didn't know if they trusted him enough to join during such a sensitive time. Alastor's dominating side would be more to the front as well as Ruvine's more submissive side, as he gathered some food and water for the two Adam had wandered off to the bar as he sat down and saw Lucifer blankly stare at the counter. Husk chuckled faintly as he wiped down a glass after handing off a drink to Adam as he hummed faintly. Seeing Adam swirl the drink as his eyes remained on Lucifer who was still staring at the counter in thought.

"What's got his head in a twist? I know the other two are in the room right now, but why is he there and seemingly pouting?" Husk huffed, seeing Adam chuckle as he took a small sip of the drink.

"He is trying to decide if he can go back to the room without being herded out by a protective buck over a doe. He wants to further the relationship more, but is worried, he worries if they actually truly love him and want him." Adam muttered, the two jumped in surprise when Alastor's shadow came from upstairs and spooked Lucifer who jerked away from the counter in shock.

"W... What! Holy shit you scared me! Don't....! Huh? O... Oh? R... Really? Shit! Ok! Ok!" Lucifer yelped, gathering up items before rushing after the shadow as Adam and Husk stared in shock, they heard a yelp as Angel Dust came downstairs as he rubbed his left arms. In his rush, he hadn't noticed Angel in the halls, said spider sat at the bar as he huffed while Husk slid a drink to him.

"What was crawling up 'is ass today? He was running like Charlie was pissed at 'im fer something." Angel muttered, looking at the two at the bar as his eyes went wide when he saw them blink at him bored. "What? Do I got something in my fur?" He asked, somewhat taunting, somewhat worried.

Adam shook his head as he went to read from a nearby newspaper, Husk shook his head and went back to cleaning as Angel Dust huffed. Upstairs, Lucifer stood before the room as he let out a breath, only to twitch when the door was gently opened by Alastor's shadow as he walked inside, he watched the door close before turning as he didn't hear the lock. He was too busy being absorbed by the scene before him, the bayou, usually shifting with the time of day, was a picture perfect night with some moonlight reflecting off the waters. Fireflies drifted around as a near silent and gentle breeze swayed the plants around, but his eyes locked onto the two near the small cottage on the water. A bridge of planks led to the cottage, but attached to it was a deck with railing to keep those who walked on it, safe, but also to support the pillows and blankets near a firepit and hammock. It was near this that he spotted the two he could call lovers, if not husband and wife, Ruvine and Alastor, currently locked in a gentle kiss.

He could tell they were being gentle, Ruvine and Alastor were still healing, but as he got closer, items in his hands, he knew they wouldn't care as much, before stepping onto the planks, he allowed his horns to come to the front as well as his tail. His tail helped set his hat down on a nearby chair, he then lifted a foot and removed a boot as he did the same for the other. Both of his hooves were free now, and as he walked across the planks, Ruvine and Alastor paused before looking over, her gasp of delight echoed Alastor's pleased rumbles as Lucifer came closer. He had shed his coat as well before coming closer, and he smiled as he set the items down on a table before coming closer and sitting nearby the two as each took a turn in kissing him in greeting.

Alastor's kiss was slightly demanding, Ruvine's kiss was shy but loving, and both smiled lovingly at him as he scooted to lean on Alastor as Ruvine laid against his chest and turned her head to see him as Alastor's hands gently ran over her lower back.
