The Present and the Future

Lucifer's POV

It's been months since Lilith came back and her death. Alastor and I didn't hide that we love each other. But Alastor isn't big on PDA. The whole hotel knows and Charlie says she's happy for us. But outside of the hotel, it's a secret. Besides Vox, but he wouldn't dare let it out. I'll torture and murder him, then revive him for Alastor to do the same thing.

Alastor wakes up by his favorite little twink shaking him. I have always woken up earlier than him. He usually doesn't like it when I wake him up this early, but I'm hungry and want his cooking. I could cook for myself, but he makes it ten times better. The deer demon pulls me and holds me there. I yelp a little and try to wiggle out. Al gives me a small kiss on my neck.

"Darn you. We have to get up Al! Charlie is waiting for us!" I reach my arms out, trying to reach the end of the bed so I can escape, but I have short arms. Bambi holds me tighter as I wiggle around. Lately he's been keeping me close, not letting me get away. 

"Fine." Alastor groans as he gets up and picks me up with him. "Still find it weird the big bad King of Hell has an obsession with little ducks." Alastor chuckles and sets me down on our dresser. We started sharing his room because I would walk in here and sleep with him anyway. And his bed is so fucking soft. My room now is just ducks. I can't walk anywhere without tripping into a pile of ducks in that room. Al snaps into his regular clothes, but without his coat. I like seeing him without his coat.

"It's not weird. And you cannot tell me they're the cutest things in the world. Jerk. Can you make us pancakes for breakfast? Pleeease."

"Did you only wake me up again just so I can make you food?"

"Possibly. But in my defense, your food is fucking delicious and I am hungry. And you wouldn't want me to starve would you?"

"Of course not." Al picks up my hand and kisses it with a wink. I blush a faint yellow and look away. The stupid Radio Demon chuckles. "Let's go get your meal. Shall we?"

"Yay!" I jump off the dresser and follow Alastor like a lost puppy to the kitchen. Al picks me up and puts me on the counter, patting my head before taking out a pan and the pancake's ingredients. I watch my boyfriend cook for me with a smile. My legs sway in front of me as I stare at the redhead. I see Alastor's tail and I reach out to touch it. 

"Touch my tail and I won't cook for you again." 

"But it's so soft." He glares at me. "Fine. I won't." He never lets me touch it. I know it's sensitive, but I'll be gentle! Alastor mixes the pancake dough as the pan heats up. "You're really hot when you cook," I blurt out. 

"What?"

"I said it gets hot in here when you cook." I cough. 

"Don't lie to me, Lucifer Morningstar." I love it when Alastor uses my full name. Can't get enough of it. The demon traps me between his long arms on the counter, pinning me against the wall. I feel myself blushing. "You know I don't like lies. Now what did you say, darling?" I gulp. I taught him a few things and now he's using them against me. He's going to be the death of me. I swear. I'm not exactly complaining though. "I said you're really hot when you cook..." I whisper under my breath, looking down. Alastor raises my head with a soft finger on my chin.

"Yeah?" I nod slowly. Angel walks in and looks at us. Shit. We both look at Angel, who quickly snaps a photo and runs. "I'm going to kill that spider." I giggle and Al goes back to my requested meal. He places the pancakes on a plate with some butter and syrup and gives it to me with a fork. 

"Thank you! I love you!" I say, giving Al a kiss on the cheek.

"I love you too, darling." The deer smiles a genuine smile I always like to see. I still wonder why he always has a forced smile. He doesn't have the deal with Lilith anymore so I don't understand why he keeps forcing himself to smile. Does it feel weird to not smile at this point?

"You should try one! It's really good. Thank you Al for making this for me. I really appreciate it. I'm just so glad you came into my life." Small tears start leaving my eyes. "I really love you and you've changed my life upside down." I start wiping my eyes. Why am I getting emotional now?I was never this emotional when I was with Lilith. 

"Why are you crying, sweetheart?"

"I don't know. I just love you so much." Al takes the plate from me and holds my hands. "And I feel like you'll leave me. Like everyone else does."

"Luci, dear, why would I want to do that?" Alastor cups my face. He wipes a tear with his thumb. "I wouldn't leave, ever. I'm not like Lilith." I smile at him. He's right. Why would I ever think he would leave? Charlie wouldn't leave either. She's too kind to hurt someone intentionally. I eat my pancakes as Alastor cleans up the kitchen. I can't wait to marry this fine ass man in front of me.
