14: Big Secret

Lucifer's POV

It was odd to see Emily running into the kitchen with balloons and running out of it with balloons filled with water. I wonder what poor Alastor is dealing with there. Charlie comes up with some weird things. Why? I don't know. How? Also don't know.

"I think you should check up on Alastor and the kids," Az says. I wave it off.

"Nah, I think he's fine. Nothing he can't handle. I think. Although he should be making dinner soon." They all look at me with that look screaming 'you should go check on him'. "Fine, fine! I will." I get up and walk to Charlie's room and knock "Charlie? May I borrow Alastor for a moment?"

"Hold on!" Charlie calls out. Alright. I wait outside, leaning against the wall. A minute passes by and the door opens. I hear clicking on the floor. Like the sound of high heels. Oh no. Alastor walks out, wearing black high heels and makeup. And breasts?

"Oh. My. Wha-what did they do to you?" I laugh.

"I think you know what they did. You have eyes. And laugh all you want. I have dinner to make. Are their parents staying by any chance?"

"Yes. And Azrael."

"Lovely."

"I know you don't like Az, but be civil with him."

"I'll try. I'm taking you into the kitchen with me." He picks me up. On instinct, I wrap my arms around his neck. His hands hold my thighs, making my face heat up. I wrap my legs around his thin waist. He walks out, past the dining room-where every other adult is- and into the kitchen. I could see the eyes on us as we walked by. But I shrugged them off.

Alastor lays me on the counter and presses his lips against mine. I moan in surprise and my eyes widen before I start kissing him back. He squeezes my thighs, sending shivers through my body. I moan into his mouth.

"Al~ Dinner," I say against his lips.

"Mm fine." We break our kiss, only for him to kiss my nose. Then he starts giving me kisses all over my face. I giggle and squirm.

"Alastor!" I laugh as he kisses my chin. God, I don't want to leave this man. I love this man.

"Al, I love you."

"I love you too. I have kind of a big ask, Luci." I sit up and he holds my hands. He looks away, like he's trying to figure out what to say. Or maybe embarrassed? Or  both? I can't tell with the smile.

"Yeah yeah. Anything. I'm here."

"This means a lot to me, Luci. Okay. I don't want you to ridicule me or anything. I am letting my walls down and I don't want you to abuse it."

"Al. I would never! What do I need to do?" He looks me in the eyes, his brown eyes fighting back tears that are building in the corner of his eyes.

"Tomorrow I...I want you to meet my mother." I perk up.

"Of course! I'm sure she is a wonderful woman. I would love to meet her, Alastor."

"She was a very wonderful woman indeed." Was? What does he- oh. The dots start connecting in my head. Ooohh.

"Oh Al. I'm sorry." I take one of my hands from Alastor's and place it on his cheek. "Of course I'll be there with you and to support you."

"Thank you. You don't know how much this means to me. Let's make dinner, shall we?"

~About Half an Hour Later~

Alastor has taken off the high heels and water balloon boobs. His makeup washed away. Sure the kids will be sad when they find out, but they'll get over it. Al finishes dinner, which is jambalaya. Sounds and smells delicious. He grabs oven mitts and takes the pot of jambalaya to the dining room. Before he leaves the kitchen, he looks back at me. I'm still sitting on the counter, watching my sexy boyfriend.

"Are you coming?" He asks, raising an eyebrow. I shake my head and bite my lip. "Well, why not? You want to eat, no?" He tilts his head. I love it when he tilts his head and looks at me so innocently. It's cute and addictive.

"I wanna be carried." I circle the countertop with my index finger. He stares at me like I'm crazy. I'm not crazy. I just want him to hold my thighs again. "Carry meeeeee!"

"Fine, fine! I will, my dear. Just let me put this down." I fake a pout and he shakes his head with a playful smile. He leaves and I sigh. I want him back. Life's boring without him here by my side 24/7. He's taking too long. Ugh. I want my boyfriend here now.

"ALASTOR!" I whine. I lay my head against the wall behind me. I groan.

"Lucifer, can't you be a patient little man for a bit? I didn't know I am dating a child," Alastor says, walking into the kitchen. He stands right in front of me. He crosses his arms a glares at me. I wanna touch his chest. But I won't. Not now at least.

"I wanted you and you're taking too long. I missed you."

"I was gone for less than a minute! You don't need me around you all the time, dear." He picks me up just how I like it. I wrap my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. He grabs my thighs with a firm grip. Fuck yes! My hands grip Alastor's shirt. "Hmm. I'll assume you like your thighs being touched? That's why you want me to carry you. Correct?" I blush and hide my face in his chest. He starts massaging my thighs. I whimper and blush even harder. The grip on Alastor's shirt tightens. "I'll take that as a yes." He stops and I hold in a whine. I just know he's smirking. Jerk. He starts walking out of the kitchen. He sets me down on a chair as he calls for the girls for dinner. We all collectively agree that Sera will eat in the living room with the girls. Once Sera and the children leave with a bowl of jambalaya, both Adam and Azrael smirk at me. Fuck.

"Why are you red, Lucifer?" Azrael asks with that stupid knowingly grin. He knows why! How dare he call me out. How dare he.

"N-No reason," I say and look down at my food.

Alastor, not helping me out here, looks at me smugly as he eats. He doesn't say anything! Anything!

"Pfft, bitch don't lie to us. Alastor clearly made you blush like a virgin. Now what did he do?" Adam asks.

"Nothing! Right Al?" I look at Alastor for some assistance. I don't think he's on my side. With that smile. Nah. He's a traitor. How dare he.

"That wasn't nothing, my dear. Seems you've forgotten. Do you need me to refresh your memory?" He smirks. Is it even possible for me to get any redder at this point? I would like to refresh my memory. But not now! I'm trying to prove a point! Even if it's a lie!

"Alastor! You're supposed to be on my side!" He chuckles and continues eating. "But nothing happened!" I point my fork to Azrael and Adam.

"Sure sure, I believe you Luci," Azrael says. Adam agrees. Fuck them. They're all bullies. Even Alastor. How dare they team up on me. Jerks.

~After Dinner~

Sera and Adam say goodbye to Emily and Vaggie before leaving. Azrael leaves shortly after.

"Don't have too much fun!" Azrael says, walking out the door. He winks at us and shuts the door. He's so annoying, I'll murder him one day. I swear I will. I look up at Alastor, who has an arm wrapped around my waist. The girls start pulling out blankets and pillows and laying them in the living room.

"Al, I need to tell you something important. Privately."

"Of course." I sneak him to my bedroom and quietly shut the door so the girls won't peek at us. Or overhear anything. 

"I don't- I hope this doesn't scare you off. Just with a few recent events and news, I have to tell you."

"I swear on my soul I won't leave no matter what you tell me, dear. Okay. Relationships, of any kind, mean a lot to me. I won't ruin this one for some little thing."

"Well...it's not some little thing." I sigh. Come on Lucifer. Just say it. Just say it! "I'mkindoftheKingofHell."
