(Alastors pov)

"Al! I can't find it!!" Lucifer whines.
I look around the dresser. "Where'd you place it last lu?"
"Right here!" He yells, pointing at the table console table by the door. "It's not here! I lost it!" He's in tears at this point and I'm questioning whether he's sane.
"Lu..it's fine.."
"No! That was my favorite one and now its gone!"
I gently rub his back, trying to console him at least a little.
"We'll find it hun, it couldn't be far."
He sniffles.
I look around the table and see a little vent under the table. Ah.
"Can you grab a screwdriver from the drawer in the kitchenette for me?"
He nods and goes over to the small kitchenette, looking through the drawers before pulling one out and bringing it to me.
I unscrew the vent and pull it open, and there it is. The small radio demon-duck I had gotten him.
Yes. He was in tears over a toy duck.
I hand it to him and I can visibly see stress drain from his body.
"Thank you.." he mumbles.
I give him a small hug.
"Anything for you, but from now on dont set it on that table.."
He nods and I wipe his tear soaked face.
He's had a couple break downs since hes been home. Charlie probably got the worst one..

..𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤..

"Here's some breakfast for you dad," Charlie says.
She sets down the bowl, it's oatmeal.
"I'm not eating that.."
"What-why-??" She asks.
"I'm just not eating it!"
"Dad-!"
He gets up and tries to walk away.
"You have to eat! You can't skip another meal."
He stops and looks at the ground, tears brimming in his eyes.
"Dad."
"NO!" He yells, his demon form coming out of him. He turns to face her. "JUST STOP TRYING TO TREAT ME LIKE A CHILD!"
I run into the room. Shit..
"Lu.."
His breath is ragged and he ignores me.
"Lu. Look at me."
He looks back at me, those tears flowing.
"Come here.."
He hesitates, but runs into my arms.
And all he does is sob.
And all I do is let him.
"I-..I'm sorry.." she mumbles.
"It isn't your fault dear. Maybe we steer away from oatmeal?"
She nods slowly, guilt written all over her face.

...

"Are you ready now?" I ask.
"Yeah.." he answers quietly, staring at the small duck in his hand.
"Alright, come on.."
We head down to the lobby, where charlie and rosie are already waiting.
"Hey good mornin!" Rosie says.
"Hi.." Lucifer mumbles.
"You okay dad?"
"Im fine."
I can tell she's going to pry. Which will only make him upset.
"Charlotte what were the plans for today again?"
She looks at her dad and then me.
"Uhm..we're gonna hand out flowers in canibal town. Me and rosie put together mini bouquets with cards that hard our information on it.!"
I nod. It's a lovely idea.
"Alright, lets go."
I put my hand on Lu's waist as we walk out, another small way of letting him know I am here.
He doesn't tense up or pull away. Which is a sign he's getting better.
Thank the lord.
Ew.
Never again.

Once we hand out all the bouquets rosie heads to her store and Charlie went back to the hotel.
Me and Lu are heading to pride forest.
"How are you feeling?" I ask.
"I'm fine." He answers coldly.
"Hun I don't mean to pry but-"
"Well you are. Stop."
...
"Lu..seriously whats wrong."
"Nothing."
"Stop shutting me out."
"Stop questioning me! If I had a problem I would tell you! So stop hovering over me!! I can handle myself!" He snaps.
"I-"
"Dont follow me." He begins to walk in the other direction. What just happened ..
