𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟒: 𝐑𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝

Since that night, Alastor has been paying great attention to his dear master, from the way he sipped his tea to how Lucifer, to his likes, and dislikes. How he notices Lucifer hates a specific area in the mansion, and every time he glances at it, he looks miserable. The way Lucifer appeared to be fascinated by his ears, and he could find him gazing at them at times. If others had done this, it would have disgusted him because they would gaze at him with desire, But Lucifer's eyes gleamed with pure intent.

Lucifer's eyebags had made him appear cold and exhausted. But his eyes were the most expressive than the rest of his body, his expression let on, which was all more than beautiful. He thought of cutting out one of Lucifer's eyes to keep, but he would not do so because he knew they would not be beautiful after losing their spirit, so he would only want them if Lucifer passed away.

They were eating dinner, and Lucifer was skillfully cutting his steak while taking small bites of his meal and gracefully whipping his face. Charlie was trying her hardest to be like her father, and when he noticed this sight aiding her, he sliced meat a little more and returned it to her, "thank you, papa," and she went back to eating. Alastor was eating as well, while he preferred raw deer meat or human flesh, the meal would suffice. While he ate, Alastor glanced briefly at Lucifer.

Lucifer noticed how Alastor was observing him as if he were prey, from the way Alastor's chocolate eyes would turn light red at certain angles when he was staring at him, but he didn't mind because he simply saw it as Alastor being cute; after all, he could easily kill him if Alastor tried anything.

Lucifer spoke softly: "Applepie tomorrow we're going to play all day, together, okay"

Charlie: "Really"

Lucifer: "Yes, Bambi is also joining us"

Alastor looked up, wanting to say something, only to see Lucifer smirking with a very suspicious expression, Charlie beaming brightly, he nodded. They both went back to eating after getting his answer, with Alastor curious about what prompted Lucifer to take a break since after all, he was by Lucifer's side the whole day, was busy buying something and getting annoyed for the past few days something about some royal.

Alastor can already guess what he does, but he doesn't know all the details for some reason. He wished Lucifer would just tell him because the last one left Lucifer smelling like blood, he simply wanted to have fun with killing. After they ate, Lucifer looked at the room, with Alastor right behind him.

Alastor: "Master, might I inquire what is behind that door"

Lucifer:".....the past": he stated with a sorrowful look before converting into a happy one, just his eyes reflecting his sadness: "get some sleep Alastor, for tomorrow will be a fun day"

Alastor: "yes master"

It was night. Alastor had not fallen asleep because of nightmares, and it was three a.m. he walked down the hall with a lamp wanting to take a sip of water, only to see Lucifer walking in the hallway slowly, he glanced at his master's face too see his eyes filled with tears running down his face"Master" Alastor asked, but Lucifer didn't respond, instead continuing to walk slowly, he moved over to Lucifer to see he was sleepwalking, he took him up with Lucifer in his arms sleeping peacefully, gazed at him, he seemed so broken compare to his normal self.

The swollen redness beneath his eyes was accompanied by lengthy runs of mascara ink that flowed down on the pearl skin, which was shining from the light of the moonlit windows. The blackness of the dripping ink was fading the rosy cheeks. The long eyelashes that appeared so light were heavy from the tears that streamed down his cheeks. Lucifer's small wines of anguish slipped so beautifully from his lips. In contrast to the gloom around his master's face, his hair remained brilliant and fluffy. He looked like a woman who had recently lost her spouse.
