Lovers in Secret

Bonding

Alastor sat in his chair hands folded under his chin. Alastor didn't like the way the short man got into his head. Alastor sat back and sighed. There was no way out of the deal he made to get his mic back. Alastor knew the king of hell was going to want more and Alastor didn't like to give more. Alastor put his hands down in his lap and looked at the golden apple bracelet. Alastor got up and walked out of his room.

Lucifer laid in bed. Lucifer felt guilt from last night. He always did once it was over. Lucifer twisted his wedding ring around his finger. Lucifer felt like shit.

Alastor came down from his broadcast. It was awfully quiet in the hotel which was strange. Alastor saw Charlie looked rather sad on the couch.
"Oh Charolette dear," Alastor sang. "What's wrong?"
"My dad is having one of his episodes," Charlie said. "He locked himself away and I can't get to him.
Alastor lightly grabbed his wrist and felt as if the bracelet was burning him.
"Interesting maybe he misses your mother," Alastor offered knowing it was their arrangement that got Lucifer this way.
"Maybe," Charlie said.
Alastor walked away feeling a strange obligation to check on Lucifer.

Lucifer was lazily making a duck. Lucifer was sitting on the floor in his pajamas. There was a knock on the door but Lucifer ignored it.
"Sire?" Alastor said from the other side of the door.
Lucifer paused. Why was he here? Wouldn't he be avoiding Lucifer? He didn't seem interested other than to get his mic back?
"Lucifer?" Alastor sung as he knocked on the door again.
Lucifer stood up and walked over to the door but didn't open it.
"What do you want?" Lucifer said trying to put on his best defensive voice.
"Charlie said you were an a mood of sorts," Alastor said. "May I come in to observe the mood?"
"What the fuck does that mean?" Lucifer asked.
He heard Alastor sighed.
"I am asking if I can check in on you," Alastor said in a very hushed tone.
"Why?" Lucifer asked.
There was a long pause. Lucifer started to walk away thinking Alastor left but instead the door started to open. Lucifer froze as Alastor entered his room. Alastor saw that Lucifer looked sad. Lucifer in his ducky pajamas looking he didn't get any sleep. Alastor looked at the floor of Lucifer's room. There was a lot of ducks that were not there last night.
"Uh hi," Lucifer said.
"Hello," Alastor said as he closed the door. "You have been busy."
Lucifer looked at the floor and saw all the ducks. Lucifer felt his face turn red.
"I uh," Lucifer said stumbling over thoughts and words.
Alastor walked over to Lucifer kicking ducks out of his way.
"Don't kick those!" Lucifer said.
"My apologies," Alastor said standing right in front of Lucifer. "I'm guessing you are regretting our little arrangement."
Lucifer looked down at the floor. Lucifer started to mess with his wedding ring.
"Ah I see," Alastor said. "You feel that your vows still mean something."
Lucifer looked up at Alastor.
"What did you say?" Lucifer asked sounding angry.
"My my, Still obsessed with someone that left you," Alastor said.
Lucifer started to grow horns and eyes turned fiery red.
"You are a pathetic sinner that doesn't know anything," Lucifer yelled.
Alastor just stared at him.
"You have nothing to say for yourself?!" Lucifer screamed.
"What is it with ducks?" Alastor asked.
Lucifer was snapped out of his rage and returned to his old self.
"What?" Lucifer asked.
"Ducks, what is with the obsession?" Alastor asked.
"Uh, no" Lucifer said.
"No as if you don't have obsession because the ducks on the floor say different," Alastor said.
"No as in I'm not sharing with you to become your friend or something," Lucifer said.
"Oh well then I can leave," Alastor said as he turned around.
"What?" Lucifer asked.
"You said we are not friends so I don't need to be here checking in on you," Alastor said. "I'm just a poor little soul that you use to get your rocks off as they say."
Lucifer paused as he watched Alastor leave toward the door. Maybe this was Alastor's messed up way trying to connect.
"They were my first accepted creation," Lucifer mumbled.
Alastor turned around and looked at Lucifer.
"Interesting," Alastor said as he walked past Lucifer and sat on his bed.
"What are you doing now?" Lucifer moaned.
"I am getting in position," Alastor said as he leaned his back against the back board and waved Lucifer to come.
Lucifer looked at him confused but slowly went on to the bed. Alastor rolled his eyes and pulled Lucifer to be sitting in between his legs. Alastor wrapped his arms around Lucifer and Lucifer froze but started to cry.
"See I know what people need I'm not some cruel heartless sinner," Alastor whispered into Lucifer's ear.
Lucifer started to sob louder as Alastor hummed into his ear.
