Lucifer's pov

"Come on come on" I shifted through book to book, looking desperately for an answer on soul contracts and how to break one. I've been up all night but I can't sleep. How can I sleep soundly while my friends are slaves!

"Damnit!" I slammed my fists down in frustration "why can't I find anything!" Tears of frustration brimmed in my eyes. How can I be so useless? I'm the king of hell for god's sake!

"Lucifer" Lilith clasped my shoulder's gently "darling you need to get some rest"

"Nope not yet!" I stood up, swaying slightly from the lack of sleep "I have way too much to do"

"Like saving Adam and lute" I froze. She sighed "darling I understand why you would want to do that. Trust me I want to help them too but we have to be realistic. We have only two months to prove our theory of redemption. We can't waste it on sleepless nights and stress"

"Are you saying we should just give up on them!" I glared at her.

"Only temporarily" she said calmly "we'll prove redemption and then we'll work towards freeing their souls"

"But what if they can't wait that long" I looked at her worriedly.

"Look at them darling" she summoned a ball, showing Adam and lute sharing a drink together, laughing like they didn't just go through hell yesterday "they're strong Lucifer. They can hold on for as long as we need them too. Have some faith in them"

"You're right" I gave into exhaustion, leaning against my wife's chest "take me to bed"

"Of course love" she kissed me tenderly as she carried me to our room..
