The sinners secret. {radioapple}

🍎Chapter 26!🍎

                                (Alastors pov)

I set the table, placing a medium pot of jumbalaya down in the center, and the sugar beside it. Lu likes to put sugar in his to make it sweet. The mans got a huge sweet tooth..
Not complaining though, I love it. I love him.
"Al? You almost done?" Charlie asks as she steps into the dining room.
"Yes dear, wheres your father?" I ask.
"I'm not sure, I thought he was with you."
I tilt my head.
"Here, I'm gonna go find him."
I hand her the silverware.
"Oh, okay." She answers.
He probably went to the balcony of his suite, it's been his usual spot since..well you know.
I sigh and shadow to the room, walking out onto the balcony.
I gasp as I see him standing on the railing, looking down.
"Lu..what are you doing...?"
He tenses up. Silence.
I take a step forward.
"Don't.." he mumbles.
"Baby get down."
He shakes his head.
"I'm scared." He whispers.
I wouldn't have believed that before i knew him. The devil? Scared?
But he's not who he was portrayed to be.
So fragile...
"Scared of what mon amour?"
Silence.
I take another step forward, slowly reaching my hand up.
"Lu, give me your hand..please..."
He looks down at me, my ears shift.
"Please."
I'll beg if I have to. I dont want to see him hurt.
He slowly turns on the rail. And i feel my heart pick up speed.
He slowly takes my hand and I grip his tightly and pull him down into my arms.
"What were you thinking?" I huff out as I hold him tightly.
"I'm sorry." He mumbles.
Thats it..thats all he says. He apologized to me? He shouldn't be apologizing to me!
"I'm so sorry.." He mumbles.
He cries into me chest, I know he's been through a lot. And I know its been even harder with what happened with vox..adding those feelings to the list.
"Baby..look at me."
He looks up at me.
"You're...so..so..strong. The things you've been put through..and you're still smiling each day? I love that about you. I love to see you smile. I love you so much.."
He sniffles, resting his head onto my shoulder.
"I love you too..so much.."
"Lu..I don't think I could explain to you how much I love you. How much I need you. What I'd do for you."
He kisses my neck softly.
"I love you so much.." he says.
"I love you more."
I hold him for a while.
"Oh. Dinners ready and the girls are waiting.."
"What!" He sits up.
"Sorry dear- you did kinda give me a shock. Dinner was mot a first priority."
He frowns at that. "Sorry."
"It's alright, come on. We can go to our spot after dinner?"
"Okay.." he smiles and we head to the dining room.
I pull out his chair and we both take a seat, after we fill our plates he goes straight for the sugar, just as he always does. And then he offers me some,
"Do you want some?" He asks.
"No dear," I smile, he's sweet and predictable. But never boring.
I love him.
Im not fond of anything sweet, but he always asks anyways. I like his pancakes. And his blood. But you know, time and place.
I still love him, and yeah it's not me and my mother. But I love this little family.
"So, uh, lucifer. How are you doing?" Vaggie asks.
"I'm fine."
"Are you sure? Your eyes are a bit red-"
"Vaggie." I chime in.
She shoots me a glare. Okay maybe I love them but she and I still don't get along. But I do trust her. Regardless of our spats and such.
Lucifer quietly eats as charlie changes the subject to the hotel, as much as I need to listen to this, I'm more worried about lu.
I slide my hand off the table and rest it on his thigh, giving it a gently squeeze. I just want to silently let him know I am here.
"Oh yeah- and-" charlie continues to ramble.
Lucifer looks down at his lap where my hand is before resting his on mine, then he continues to eat his food.
I flip my hand and we lock our hands and I see a faint smile on his face.
"Al?" Vaggie says.
"Hm-?"
"The space problem? Any idea how to fix it??"
"Oh. Yes. We do have a lot of sinners coming in these days and not enough of them being redeemed. I have two thoughts that may help."
Charlie smiles. "Good good! We really need to solve this!"
"Well I thought, to ensure we are only hosting those who are improving with our knowledge, we have a test once or twice a month. Something simple but helpful."
"Thats only one idea." Vaggie spits out.
"None of us will like my second idea."
Everyone looks at me and charlie frowns.
"What is it..?"
I sigh. "Well I hoped we could just try the test thing and hope it works out for awhile, but either way...eventually we'll have to...expand."
"No!" Charlie says. "That would require us to split up! I wont get to see you every day!"
"My point exactly dear."
Lucifer squeezes my hand.
"I think it's a good idea." He mumbles.
Silence.
